SUBJECT:

TRIP REPORT - DURANGO, COLORADO .

t DATE: May 1-3, 1984 EN"*

PURPOSE: TO ATTEND DOE WORKSHOP ON MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES TO BE USED IN UMTRA PROJECTS ,

The workshop, hosted by DOE's Technical Measurements Center (TMC), covered ground water monitcring, water chemical analyses, soil san.pling, and stream sediment sampling. It was the third in a series of workshops by TMC in support of DOE's UMTRA program. The previous two workshops covered in-situ measurements of Ra_226 in soil using above ground gama measurements and indoor radon monitoring.

The three day workshop consisted of presentations by TMC personnel and discussions among workshop attendees of the four topical areas in the mornings and field trips to the Durango inactive mill tailings piles in the afternoons.

During the field trips TMC personnel demonstrated simpling, monitoring, and analyses procedures which had been presented during the morning session. The TMC provided a technical document on each of the four topical areas to every workshop attendees. As in the previous workshops it is not certain that the methods presented and demonstrated would be used by DOE contractors in UMTRA projects. However, the TMC technical documents are good reference material for NRC's review of UMTRA work. It was also helpful to see how the TMC relates to the UMTRA program as a technical measurements consultant and as a measurements laboratory. A prime example was the request by DOE's Canonsburg contractor for a soil sampling procedure alternative to the procedure required in the Canonsburg Remedial Action Plan (RAP). DOE used TMC as a consultant for answering this request and as a technical measurements contractor for processing soil samples from the Canonsburg project.

During trips to the Durango inactive tailings pile many> questions about the Durango site were answered. I was also able to visit tae sites of several candidate vicinity properties (vicinity property work in Durango has not yet i started). I also discussed health and safety for the future Salt Lake City Vitro remedial action project with two representatives from the state of Utah.
