Dear Mr. Crow:
(f 5
~D The purpose of this letter is to requesy an amendment to Licens No. SNM-1227 which would allow disposal of solid wastes containing 30 pCi/ gram or less of uranium to other than a licensed disposal facility, Item 6 in the reference letter acknowledges Exxon Nuclear's plan to s
construct and operate a process waste treatment facility. The output from this facility will include both liquid and solid chemical waste streams each of which will contain trace amounts of uranium. We are currently negotiatiry the necessary permits and licenses required for operation of the facility so that design and construction can proceed with the certainty that the wastes from the facility can be disposed of in a safe and economic manner. A liquid waste disposal permit is cur-rently being negotiated with Washington State Department of Ecology following which we will apply for an appropriate amendment to License No. SN!!-1227. With respect to solid waste disposal, recent changes to State regulations appear to place the solid waste produced from the proposed waste treatment facility in the hazardous waste category.
Although options are still being discussed, the one clear path at this time for disposal of these solid wastes is to a hazardous waste disposal facility.
We have filed an application with the O'regon State Department of Environmental Quality for disposal Sf these wastes to the hazardous waste disposal site at Arlington, Oregon.
It appears, however, that Oregon feels a need for approval from the NRC due to the trace quantities of uranium present before they will approve our applications, hence this request at this time, cn s options other than the Arlington site may become available, a specific amendment is requested.
Other options could be any
,g dispo ite or landfill operation for which a license or permit could RECEIVED ~

W.T. Crow April 6, 1982 be obtained for disposal of chemical solid wastes. As currently envisioned, the solid waste composition initially will be approximately a 50-50 mixture of calcium sulfate and calcium fluoride with trace quantities of other chemicals such as zirconium and aluminum.
- Ilowever, the chemical composition of the solid waste is subject to change as a result of process flowsheet modifications, alternate waste treatment options becoming available or future regulatory changes.
In any event, only low level uranium waste will be treated such that the resultant solid waste will be less than 30 pCi/ gram of waste.
In conformance with ALARA principles, the uranium content of these wastes will be reduced to the lowest practicable levels reasonably achievable with the processes and equipment involved.
Enclosed is a check for $150 to cover the cost of this minor administrative amendment.
We appreciate your timely assistance in this important matter.
