Dear Mr. Austin:
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in conjunction with New York State Departments of Labor (DEC) and Health have reviewed the documents you supplied in your February 23, 1993 letter.
Those documents included the following:
1.
Decommissioning Plan for the Plutonium Facility and Multiple Failure Building of the National Park Service Property Located Near Pavling, Now York, for Chevron USA, Incorporated; and 2.
Undervater Investigation of Nuclear Lake.
In addition, the United States Department of the Interior's National Park Service submitted to us for review the Final Belease Survey Plan of the National Park Service Property Located Near Pavling, New York for Chevron USA, Incorporated.
l New York State offers the following comment on those l
documents:
Section III of the decommissioning plan lists the contractor relationships and also discusses shipping and manifesting the radioactive waste shipments.
It should be noted that any shipments and manifesting should be performed in compliance with DEC's 6NYCRR Part 381 Low-Level Radioactive Waste Transporter Permit and Manifest System.
This omission was also noticed in the Work Plan For the Soil Remediation

\\
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has already approved.
DEC is developing cleanup guidelines with an objective to remediate sites to their part of these guidelines, previous non-contaminated state.
As our radiation program has suggested that remediation should assure that sites to be released for unrestricted use should be computer modelled.
is that this modelling be. based on conservative scenariosOur recommendation to assure no individual receive an annual dose greater than 10 millirem above that received from natural background radiation levels.
Residual Radioactive material programThe United States Department of Energy's (RESRAD) appears to be a unaful program to do this modelling.
New York State agrees with NRC's intent to provide for an efficient and timely cleanup of the site.
This remedial action should be completed before July 1, 1994, in order to assure that the radioactive wastes removed can be disposed of at a licensed i
disposal site.
We look forward to working with your agency to achieve this goal.
If you need further information, please contact me at (518) 457-2225.
Sincerely, P
