' Standards for The Treatment of Low-Level Radioactive Waste.' 1his draf t regulation is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 7 of the Illinois Low-level Radioactive Waste Management Act. Significant features of the draft regulation include:

1.

Waste treatment requirements in the forn of performance criteria, including)a requirement for the solidification of all resins '

(607.30(a):

i 2.

Process control requirements which will require Departmental review, l

approval,andinspection(607.40);and 3.

Archival samples to be sent to the LLW facility operator for storage andtestingasmaybedesirableinthefuture(607.50(1)).

Please provide your comments by November 15, 1989. -Based on comments received by this date we will revise the draft and publish it as a proposed ruleintheIllinoiskaatster.

In accordance with Section 7 of the Illinois Low-level Radioactive Waste Management Act, a public hearing will be held prior to the final promulgation of this regulation.
