FINAL TECHNICAL EVALUATION REPORT FOR THE NATURITA, COLORADO, URANIUM MILL TAILINGS SITE

Dear Mr. Rael:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed its review of the final Remedial Action Plan and Site Design (RAP) and the RemecUal Action Inspection Plan (RAIP),

Revision 1, for the uranium mill tailings disposal site at Naturita, Colorado. The staff's review is documented in the enclosed final Technical Evaluation Report (TER).

Based on this review, the NRC staff concurs in the Naturita RAP and RAIP, and the signature pages are Enclosure 2. In its review of the preliminary final RAP for the Naturita processing and disposal sites, the NRC staff identified 26 open issues. Those issues have been satisfactorily addressed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in the final RAP, with the exception of several groundwater issues that have been deferred until a later phase of the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project.

If you have any questions concerning this subject, please contact the NRC Project Manager, Robert Carlson, at (301) 415-8165.

Sincerely, Original Signed By N. King Stablein, Acting Chief Uranium Recovery and Low-Level Waste Branch Division of Waste Management Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
