SNM-770 The topography of the Site and the approximate distances from the various facilities to the Site boundary are shown in Figure 1.2.1.2, and the approximate radial population distribution from the center of the Waltz Mill Site is illustrated in Figure 1.2.1.3.
The larger cities and towns in the vicinity of the Site are:
Population Distance City or Town Est. 1980 from Site (Miles)
Direction Mount Pleasant 19,100 7.5 SE Greensburg 18,820 8.0 NE Jeannette 16,200 8.0 N
i Irwin 4,670 8.5 NW Scottdale 6,500 9.0 SW J
J The watershed for the Site is shown in Figure 1.2.1.2.
Calley's Run flows into Sewickley Creek which eventually drains into the Youghiogheny River. This is a part of the Ohio River watershed via the Monongahela River.
1.2.2 SITE SECURITY A security guard is stationed at the Waltz Mill Site on a 24-hour.per day basis. -In addition, the Central Operations Area (AESO/NSID/WTS0) is REV. 9 surrounded by a 8 ft, high security fence, topped with barbed wire. An additional fence is provided around the Waste Disposal Facility and the R
' Building complex within the Central Operations Area, in order to further limit Access.

SNM-770 Under normal operating conditions all licensed materials are within the Central Operations Area except during transportation.
If at any time licensed materials are used outside of these areas, special surveillance is established to assure compliance with the " restricted area" requirements of 10CFR20.
Should emergency conditions require, appropriate county or state authorities have been requested to establish road blocks for the purpose of controlling access at those points where LR 64117 enters the restricted area.
In addition, responsible Westinghouse personnel will be dispatched immediately to these points. They will control access until the road blocks are established.
The Restricted Area for this Site is shown in Figure 1.2.1.2.
The perimeter of this area is posted with signs at approximately 100 yard intervals. General surveillance and control of this Restricted Area is maintained by guards, management and employes. A Security Control Center is located at the entrance to the Central Operations Area, where at least one guard is stationed continuously, except when making a surveillance patrol or responding to an emergency. During periods when the guard is absent from the security control REV. 9 center, the entrance gates to the central operations area are locked. In addition, areas where licensed materials are handled and/or stored are locked when normal plant operations are not being conducted.
Supplementing these observations by the guards, all management personnel on the site have been advised to call the guard any time they observe trespassing within the Restricted Area. The normal activities of employes assure frequent observations during normal working hours.

SNM-770 All-fire alarms, both manual and automatic types, shall be connected to the site Alarm System.
Equipment designated for use in an emergency shall be kept readily available to help protect personnel from radiation or uncontained radioactive contamination. This equipment shall include protective clothing, l
self-contained air supply respirators, portable survey instruments, and
-personnel monitoring devices, j
2.5 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OFF-SITE PROTECTION i
2.5.1 NORMAL OPERATIONS p
Management shall maintain the following controls to ensure compliance with 10CFR20 requirements regarding safeguarding the public. To assure that there a
- is a minimum of public access to the facilities, a security guard shall be
- continuously stationed at the entrance to the Central Operations Area, except when making a routine surveillance patrol or responding to an emergency.
During periods when the guard is absent from the entrance, the gates shall be I
locked.
In addition, all management personnel shall monitor access to their REV. 8 I
There shall be visual, surveillance of all build'ings within the Central areas.
Operations Area by a member of the security force at least once on every 8-hour shift when normal plant operations are not being conducted.
W To-assure that quantities of radioactive materials in excess of NRC and state regulations are not released off-site, management shall maintain an effluent control system. The effectiveness of the system shall be documented as established by the Manager, Industrial Hygiene and Safety, using the records of monitoring instruments and surveillance surveys.
i All process waste involving radioactive materials shall be either (1)
-solidified for offsite burial as solid waste or (2) stored in an on-site liquid waste retention facility for subsequent decontamination. Unless specifically authorized by the Manager, Industrial Hygiene & Safety, such decontamination shall require that the activity average less than 10% of the appropriate limit prior to release to the discharge weir. Corrective action shall be taken whenever the concentration exceeds 25% of MPC (water).
Such release shall be on a batch basis and only following continuous sampling, isotopic analysis, and review of the analytical results and approval by the Docket.70-698 -
