TRIP REPORT DATE:

SUBJECT:

REMEDIAL ACTIONS UNDER DOE'S ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT FIVE-YEAR PLAN BY:

Myron Fliegel, Section Leader Uranium Recovery Section, Operations Branch Andrew Fan, Hydrologist l

Uranium Recovery Section, Operations Branch The subject conference was sponsored by DOE's new Office of Environmental Restoration And Waste Management and hosted by DOE's Albuquerque UMTPAP Office.

The primary objective of the conference was to discuss DOE's plans and programs in environmental restoration and waste management for the next five years.

The agenda of the conference is provided in the enclosure and highlights of the conference follow.

SUMMARY

The conference attracted approximately 300 participants with the majority being from contractors and consultants. The conference covered a broad perspective of DOE's envircnmental problems with approximately two-thirds devoted to CERCLA / RCRA, and the remainder to UMTRA and related programs. The focus of the new environmental office in DOE, it is apparent, will be clean up of CERCLA sites. EPA and DOE to a minor extent, were criticized but we heard no r

criticismofNRC. EPA's regulations were criticized for being unreasonable and lacking consideration of costs. Since there was no representation from the i

environmental groups,f the cleanup industry and D0E.the criticisms appeared to be on only the viewpoints o The UMTRA program, on the other hand, was highly praised and referred to as a model for other DOE remediation programs.

Tuesday, April 17, 1990 Pat Whitfield, associate director of DOE's Office Of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management, presented en overview of the new office. Mr. Whitfield explained the organization of his office and admitted that certain functions l

have not been clearly defined and remained to be streamlined. One difficulty l

DOE faces is to acquire enough qualified environmental personnel.

DOE sees the-need to retrain personnel f rom other energy programs and to rtcruit I

minorities into the environmental program. He indicated that DOE is moving toward complete openness and will listen to constructive criticism, but not condemnations that are unjustly directed. The goal of the new office is to bring DOE into full compliance with CERCLA, RCRA, and other applicable environmental regulations. DOE will place priority on innovative scientific approaches, in-situ clean up methods, waste minimization and waste management modernization. He emphasized the need to justify environmental cleanup in the context of reducing health and environmental risks. He praised the l

accomplishments of the UMTRA program and indicated that it would be used as a l

model for other DOE's remediation programs.

AF/ TRIP :

Richard Guimond, Director of EPA's Office Of Radiation Programs, explained the role of his agency in DOE's environmental programs. He defended some of the criticisms that have been directed at his agency. He stated, for example, t

that one should not evaluate the success of the Superfund Program by counting the number of NPL sites that have been delisted, because aquifer cleanup typically takes many years to complete. He indicated that the agency is aware of the deficiencies in many regulations; for example, the failure to integrate cross-media pollution effects. He noted that the radiation program is the only

)rogram that is not medium specific because it has been driven from the

>eginning by health risk concerns.

Until recently, however, EPA's regional offices have had virtu 611y no staffing in the radiation program.

Dr. Richard Belzer, economist of the Office Of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OMB), was very critical of the EPA's regulations. He said that many regulations were senseless because they were established without consideration of the cost benefit effects; for exan.ple CERCLA regulations specifically placecostastheleastimportantcriterloninevaluatingcleanupmethods.

Dr. Belzer questioned the justification of spending millions of dollars in a groundwater cleanup to MCLs when the potential benefit may be no more than reducing a few cancer cases. He questioned why treatment at the point of use i

is often rejected. During the question period, one member of the audience commented on the difficulty in quantifying many environmental effects.

Dr. Belzer concurred but said that many environmental effects can still be quantified, for example, in terms of the number of acres of wetland protected.

Myron Fliegel of NRC made a presentation on the role of NRC in the UMTRA program. Mark Matthews of DOE presented a movie on the status and accomplishments of the UMTRA program.

The presentation and movie were well received. There were no questions from the audience.

Wednesday, April 18,1990 Pat Whitfield of DOE presented the agency's five-year plan for the remediation l

and waste management programs.

The focus of the agency in the next five years will be cleanup of CERCLA sites. He 1 resented the clean up cost estimates and responded to past criticism t1at the estimates had been inflated due to input from the contractors.

After the first speaker, the conference was divided into two concurrent workshops in the morning and three in the afternoon. We attended the morning workshop on groundwater remediation and aquifer restoration.

In the afternoon we attended presentations from all three workshops.

Frank Titus of Jacobs Engineering, who served as chairman for the session, introduced the status of groundwater remediation and aquifer restoration.

He pointed out that everyone in the cleanup industry is learning and to date, no aquifer cleanup has yet been completed or considered successful.

Beth Wheat of Westinghouse discussed an aquifer restoration project at the Savannah River Site. One of us (A. Fan) inquired if the contamination has any health impact. The answer was no because the nearest well is seven miles away.

+

AF/ TRIP i The only environmental impact observed was that some vegetation at the creek was stressed due to discharge of high sodium water, but the effect was unrelated to the target radioactive contaminants. Mr. Whitfield of DOE commented that this was the message the agency had been trying the convey:

there is no justification to spend millions of dollars to clean up an aquifer when the contamiration has r.o impact on health or the environment.

Jack Caldwe1~. and Thomas Shepherd of Jacobs Engineering and WWI. Inc.,

J respectively, presented a paper on the differences between remediations at Title I and Title 11 sites. During the question and discussion period, Myron Fliegel of NRC responded to some of points made in the presentation. He noted that some of the differences were attributable to the fact that the standards J

were established differently. The standards in Title I sites were established by EPA and administered by NRC.

In Title II sites, the standards were l

established and administered by NRC or NRC at,reement states. As for j

establishing the final standards in groundwater protection, NRC, DOE and EPA are still in negotiation.

At the afternoon workshop on NEPA/ CERCLA compliancepresented a new applic Ric known as the Observational Approach, to the conduct of environmental cleanup projects.

The essence of the approach is to utilize an educated trial and error approach by explicitly recognizing contingencies and deviations from the most probable condition. He indicated the approach will likely speed up the process and save costs by shortenir.g endless investigation. Although the approach has been endorsed by the EPA's headquarters, only one regional office is implementing it.

One of the most interesting workshops was on public affairs.

Especially enlightening presentations from different perspectives were made by a politician and a reporter. John Leane, chairman of the Mesa County Board of Commissioners, Grand Junction, discussed his experience dealing with DOE on the Grand Junction, Title I remediation.

From the perspective of an elected official in a small connunity, Mr. Leane expressed confusion and frustration dealing with D0E. He complained about DOE's insensitivity to local concerns; for example, it took a great deal of effort to resolve the tailings i

transportation issue with D0E.

He expressed confusion in connunicating with DOE because of the complex personnel situation; for example, DOE and its contractors were represented by multiple site and project managers who changed positions constantly.

Peter Eichstaedt, a reporter from Santa Fe, New Mexico, presented his experience with D0E.

He indicated that it took him as much as six months to obtain information from the DOE through the Freedom of Information process.

It was echoed by another re orter in the audience. Several individuals in the audience stated that emp oyees are reluctant to provide information to reporters because the in ormation is often misquoted. Mr. Eichstaedt indicated that a reporter is as much interested in providing accurate information as the provider; unfortunately, the information is of ten provided in a manner incomprehensible to non-technical persons.

Someone in the audience responded that it was impossible to explain, for example, radioactivity in 25 words to a reporter who has absolutely no background in the subject. The discussion continued after the end of the session.

e AF/ TRIP Thursday, April 19, 1990 i

Thursday was a half day session.

It was divided into two concurrent workshops and a poster session. We selected and attended presentations that were most applicable to our work. The topics were mostly technical and site specific, and many are related to UMTRA sites we have reviewed or will be reviewing. We attended a poster and an oral presentation on the construction water problem at the Durango UMTRA site, a poster presentation covering organic contaminants analyses at Title I sites, an oral presentation on infiltration monitoring and modeling at the Shiprock UMTRA site, and a poster presentation covering the Grand Junction UMTRA site.

We met many DOE and contractor personnel involved i

in the UMTRA program and discussed several UNTRA issues with them, l
