Miller, Assistant Director for State Agreements Program State, Local and Indian Tribe Programs FROM: Richard L. Bangart, Director Division of Low Level Waste Management and Decommissioning
SUBJECT:
LLWM STAFF REVIEW OF THE NEBRASKA MOU AND LOW-LEVEL WASTE LICENSE APPLICATION REVIEW PLAN Per your request to me dated September 29, 1989, gy staff has reviewed the (MOU) between the Nebraska Department of Memorandum of Understanding (NDEC) and the Nebraska Department of Health (N00H) Environmental Conservation related to their mutual responsibilities for licensing and regulating a low-level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal f acility in Nebraska. As part of our review we have also evaluated the proposed low-level waste application review plan and enabling legislation. Based on our review, we have serious concerns about the ability of the two agencies to co-regulate a low-level waste disposal facility using the MOU as a basis and the low-level waste application review plan as an implementation document.. The MOV expresses and the review plan reeffinns a co-leadership in regulatory responsibility between the two agencies with no clear demarcation of each agency's respective responsibilities. The Agreement with Nebraska is based on a State radiation control program established under the 1963 Radiation Control Act. Under that Act and this Agreer.ent, NDOH is the agency with the authority to regulate the use of radioactive materials, implicitly including the management and disposal of LLW. HDOH has clear statutory authority under the Nebraska Radiation Control Act to regulate the use of radioactive material and the necessary mechanisms to enforce its regulatory authority. Under the Nebraska Low-level Radioactive Waste Disposal Act, however, NDEC is responsible for licensing and regulating a cosmarcial low-level waste disposal facility in the State of Nebniska. The proposed licensing review plan, which appears to be the " Regulatory Matrix" referred to in the MOU,.does little to clarify the working relationship between the two primary regulatory agencies under their separate statutes. In fact, the matrix presents a cumbersome array of conflicting authorities. For many tasks under the review plan, both agencies have " lead approval" authority. In at least one case, both NDOH and NDEC share primary approval authority with yet a third state agency. In these instances, it is unclear which State agency %4NdN h / f> __w
s y,;; 2 3,w. i l Vandy L. Miller 2 will have the final approval-authority. This uncertainty in turn raises questions as to which agency will in reality have the ultisete authority to issue the license, inspect against it, or enforce it. The MOV appears to- . sanction this uncertainty by requiring, for example, that both 20H and,NDEC conduct their own on-site inspections. This complex system of intermingled authorities for approval and enforcement does not appear to lend itself to efficient low-level waste facility licensing or regulation. Since the cossents expressed herein represent generic concerns rather than - specific comments, we will be pleased to meet with you to discuss the specific instances in the MOV and review plan that led to the conclusions expressed herein. !k-ltc (4v G1 Richard L.
