Docket No. WM-63 040WM063700E W. John Arthur, III, Project Manager U.S. Department of Energy Albuquerque Operations Office P.O. Box 5400 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87115

Dear Mr. Arthur:

We are in receipt of your June 22, 1988 letter forwarding responses to our April 14, 1988 letter on the Mexican Hat site. In this letter you ~

requested our opinion on whether or not resolution of the three open items could preclude you from initiating remedial action at Mexican Hat.

After reviewing your responses to our comments, we have concluded that resolution of the three open items (water resources protection, rock source, and radon barrier design) does not preclude the Department of Energy from initiating remedial action at Mexican Hat and proceeding as far as reshaping and consolidating the existing tailings in place. The resolution of the three open items can proceed independently.

We also note your intention to submit a modification to the Mexican Hat RAP to provide details on incorporating the Monument Valley tailings in September, 1988.

If you have any questions, please contact Scott Grace of my staff at FTS 776-2805. ,

I I

Sincerely, j
