Docket No. 70-1257 2101 Horn Rapids Road License No. SNM-1227 Richland, WA 99352 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 12-13, 1981, by the State of Nevada resident inspector at the US Ecology, Beatty, Nevada burial site, of a shipment of radioactive waste shipped from your facility in Richland, Washington on March 10, 1981 and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980), this office has identified the following violation:
