NLUAM U PARFET STEVENS T MASON St,lLDING. PO BOX 30028, LANSING h5 48900-7528 K. L COOL, Drector Statement ofIntent to Accompany Amended License Application for the MDNR owned portion of the Hartley and Hartley Landfill I, K. L. Cool, was appointed Director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in March of 1996. In my capacity as Director I am the public licensee applicant for a license with respect to the MDNR Owned Portion of the Hartley and Hartley Landfill, located in Kawkawlin Township, Bay County, Michigan which was acquired by the agency in 1973 (Docket Number 40-9015.) In my current capacity as the Director of the Department of Natural Resources, I possess the authority of the State of Michigan to sign this Statement ofIntent.
This Statement ofIntent is submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission together with an amended license application, and estimates of the costs for both the pre-decommissioning site characterization and decommissioning. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources' cost estimate to conduct the site characterization activities leading to the development and preparation of the Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D) plan is in the amount of $2.5 million. The cost of the implementation of the final D&D plan is estimated at this time to be 10 million dollars.
Under the Constitution of the State of Michigan, the operation of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is supported by the General Fund of the State of Michigan, which can only be constitutionally appropriated by the Michigan Legislature. 'Ihe current Legislature has been informed of the potential decommissioning requirements, costs and the eventual need for this funding. The Michigan Legislature understands that this Statement ofIntent is not a binding promise on future Legislatures for funding. The funds for decommissioning costs will be requested by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources from the Michigan Legislature, in an amount up to 10 million dollars, sufficiently in advance of decommissioning for the purpose of preventing delay of the required activities.
