O Preface 1 l

Erwitonmental monitoring at the \\'est Valley Demonstration Project i\\YDP) is conducted l by the \\'est Valley Nuclear Services Company. Inc. (\\YNS), under contract to the U.S. j Department of Energy. The data collected provide an historical record of radionuclide and ,

radiation levehfrom natural and manmade sources in the survey orca. Data aho are collected l to monitor the quality of air and water discharged by the Project und Ihe groundwater on and l around the site.

This report represents a single, comprehensive source of of)dite and on site environmental monitoring data collected during 1990 by \\YNS Environmental Laboratory personnel.

Appendit A is a summary of he t site environmentalmonitoring plan. Appendit B lists the environmentalpermits and regulations pertaining to the \\'est Valley Demonstration Project.

Appendices C thrc. ugh E contain summaries of all data obtained during I990 and are intended for those interested in more detail than is provided in the main body of the report.

Requests for additional copies of the 1990 SITE ENVIRONhfENTAL REPORT and ques-tions concerning ti.e report should be referred to the \\YDP Community Relations Depart.

ment, P.O. Box 191, Rock Springs Road, \\'est Valley, New 1'ork 1417) (7)6 942-4610).

In addition, commercial laboratories must perform blind analyses of standard or duplicate samples submitted by th: WVDP Environmental Laboratory.

WVDP monitoring activities are subject to quality control checks from the time of sample collection through sample analysis and data reduction. Each analytical test of the samples analyzed in the on site environmental laboratory is reviewed in detail. Specific quality checks include external review of sam-pling procedures, accurate calibrations using

Specific methods and recommended monitoring program elements are found in DOE /EP4m6, Im.UINr MONrlORING. and DOE /EP-0023, !!NVIRONMtNTAt, SURVillt.lANcit, which are the bases for selecting most of the schedule specifics. Additional monitoring is mandated by Operational Safety Requirements (OSRs) and air and water discharge permits (40 CFR 61 and SPDES), which also require a formal ieport. -These specific cases are identified in the schedu!e under MONITORING / REPORTING REQUIRE-M ENTS. The overall emironmental program schedule is based on OSR GP-4. Schedule Of Environmental Sampling m I he following table is a schedule of environmental sampling at Ihe West Wiley Demonstration Project. Locations of the :.ampling points are shown in Figures A.! through A 0, The index below is a list of the codes for various sample locations. Table headings in the schedule are as follows: e Sample Location Code. The physical k> cation where the sample is collected is described. The code consists of seven characters: The first character identifies the sample medium as Air, Water, Soil / Sediment, Iliological, er Direct Measurement. The second character specifies oN site or oFf site. The remaining characters describe the specific location (e.g., AFGRVAL is Air Off-site at Great val. ley), o Monitoring / Reporting Requirements.The reports generated from sample data and the basis for monitoring that h> cation and any additional references to permits or OSRs are noted. o Sampling'I)pe/ Medium.This describes the collection method and the physical characteristics of the medium.- e Collection Frequency.

Operatlonel samting carried out to confirm reo migration of radiological contaminstion into the primary coolant loop of the NLW1F and/or plant utility steam systems. Migration from either source might ind cate radiological control fatture. Proctas knowledge indicates that radiological monitoring is of primary sigqlficance.
