SUBJECT:

TRIP REPORT - MEETING bi!TH THE STATE OF ILLINOIS REGARDING THE $NEFFIELD $1TE ,,

on June 9,1982, I was in Chicago, Illinois meeting with State of Ittinois and NMSS representatives to discuss environmental monitoring activities at the $beffield Low Levet Radioactive Waste Burial Site.- The following individuals wre in attendance: E&#ard Hawkins, Devid siefken, and i James Shaf fner, NMS$; James Blackburn, Ittinois Department of Nuclear Safety; Howard Chinn and Thomas Boreckt, Ittincts Of fice of the Attorney General; Keros Cartwright and Thomas Johnson, Ittinois- State Geological Survey; and James Foster, U. 5. Geological Survey (95GS).

HMSS-discussed its objectives for environmental monitoring to ensure that they wre compatible with those of the State. The data developed will be used by NRC in its evaluation of U. S. Ecology's settlement proposal.

The proposed expanded NRC ground water monitoring progree makes optimum l use of evailable USGS wells for examination of tritium migration, and '

i provfdes for additional UDGS offsite wits east of the site. The State representatives agreed with the NR$$ proposal. It was also agreed l that additional air monitoring is not necessary due to the limited tritium releases and its rapid atmospheric dispersion.

Periodic vegetative sampling is needed to-determine if there is any tritium uptake. Negative results would reduce the sampling frequency end eventually terminate the need for sampling, soil sampling of the

, trench covers' surface would determine untake or material deposition. -

No objections wre raised by the State regarding these aspects of the monitoring program since their major interest lies with the water monitoring and sampling program. It was agreed that surface water i saepting would be conducted of fsite to assure the public that water

. emanating from the site is safe.

\ \, g. j g. f, J. A. Hind June 10,1983 Generally, the State representatives were receptive to NMSS' proposal for monitoring, but did not appear anxious to negotiate a final closure settlement with U. S. Ecology in the near fteure. They expressed a desire to continue meeting with NRC on a frequent basis, at least quarterly.
