July 11, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR.

John Starmer, Low-Level Waste and Uranium Recovery Licensing Branch, Division of Waste Management, NM55 FROM:

John McGrath, Regional State Agreements Office, Region 1

SUBJECT:

ENSA PROPOSAL RE LEACHABILITY OF AM-241 ENSA, Inc., is the contractor who has been negotiating with the State of New York regarding the cleanup of the EAD facility and associated contamination at the Tonawanda sewage treatment plant and landfill.

ENSA recently submitted a plan for evaluating the leaching potential of AM-241 from contaminated ash at the landfill.

The State of New York has requested NRC's assistance in reviewing the adequacy of the ENSA proposal.

']

We would appreciate your assistance in reviewing the enclosed documents submitted by ENSA and providing us with any comments you may have.

The state has not indicated any specific deadline, but we would like to provide them j

with our comments by August 1, 1985.

Testing Procedures for AT241 leachirg and Absorption Petere.ial

Dear Dr. Stasid.:

'Ivo procedres are atta6ed for yor crerrence.

'Ihese are in regard to addressirg 1 tern 11, pace 2, of the hYS DEC letter dated Parch 29, 1985 fror. W. Jeffrey lacey.

The procedres proposed are interded to first detenrdne the lea &dng pv.ential of kr241 fran the co 4ta. inated ash.

Secondly, T

leachate fror. the first test will be used to deter:rine the absorption of Av241 in native soils beneath the landfill.

Coring soil sa :ples that have been taken in the past (prior to contarination) will be used for the latter test.

All testing is to be corducted within the EAD bailding per the attaied procedures.

'n.is will include the use of a 3D rpr.

flask ttrtling syster. for the 29 rp. N35 rotation ttrtler.

Approxin.ately 1 kg of ash unterial from furnace No.2 will be so tested.

This ern. ails bringire into the EAD building approxirrately 500 na-o Ci *d6 is an insignificant aioant empared to existing gaantities.

Counting of all sa:Tples will be ccrdacted at the SUSYAB Naclear Science ard Tetrology Facility (NSTF).

Yor review and cercarrence with the attached p ocedures at yor earliest convenience is appreciated.

Yors very truly,

'Rwar Ik:ilding Albany, hY 12237 Re: Modified Testing Procedures for kr241 Wehing ard Abso.p' don Poten+dal

Dear Dr. S*asiuk:

Wree mirer nodifications are proposed for the referenced test procedi:res.

We origim1 procedares were described in my correspondence to your office in letter B-Ki-2050, dated 5/15/85.

me nodifications proposed are described as follows:

1. Abso gtion tests will be conducted using soil samples similar l

to the soil beneath the larxifill.

Cbring samples taken by l

D:pire Ecils were not saved as previously re;crted.

Substitite j

sanples of identical material will be ottalned at a 9 to 10 ft.

depth adjacent to bore hole BM-12 adjacent to the la.W ill.

We latter is based upor the rectrinerdaticn of Mrjorie Rimldo Ime of Empire who is the expert geologist for the site.

2. Sanple agitaticn in the extracticn procedure will be perfonned manually by test personnel in lieu of a flask ttunbling systen.

his will be performed at 10cinute intervals for the test duration in order to avoid the cost associated with an NBS l

rotaticn ttrtler.

Furthernere, a vartrr. filtraticn apparatus with one staoe of pre-filtering will be used.

his is in lieu of a pressare filtraticn apptus.

)

3. We counting of all sa ples will be performed by and in the labaratory of Dr. A. K. Bruce at S:MT Baffalo.

His facilities contain app:opriate icw backgroand detectors necessary to gaantify and verify test results.

All contantinated sanples tested in his laboratory will be returned to EAD for appropria'a disposal.
