Dear Mr. Chernoff:
i
- This letter is-in response to your letter dated May 19,.1993, requesting NRC certification concurrence on the completion report for Vicinity Property
' No. LO-0195; South' Fork Summer Home Sites, Lot No. 3, located in Lowman, t
Idaho. Additional information is required in order to review this completion report, and we are therefore unable to provide NRC certification concurrence at this time.
l The completion report proposed. allowing residual raJioactive material to
. i i
remain _in place in the root systems of two trees,'with the application of supplemental standards. Drawings indicate.several trees on the property, but the area where supplemental standards are to be applied is not identified.
i The area which contains residual radioactive material needs to be identified in order to verify the exterior gama exposure rates, soil sample results, and
[
' the volume of contaminated material which will _ remain if supplemental standards'are applied.
l The. completion report states. that the maximum gama exposure rate in the i
contaminated area is 12.5 microR/ hour.. No exterior gama survey information was included in the completion report,. and we are therefore unable to verify the exposure rates or the location where the maximum reading was obtained.
-The results' of an ' exterior gama survey must-be included in order to verify the. residual radiation levels.
