VARIOUS FE'E RECOVERABLE:
YES 1.0 Backaround Uranium Mill sites under license after November 8,1978, are regulated under Title 11 of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA), which amended the Atomic Energy Act.
Licensing actions for these sites must meet the requircments of 10 CFR 40.
Throughout FY 98, licunsees will submit a wide variety of requests to amend their approved licenses, including some that will require technical review in the areas of geotechnical engiMering, radon barrier design, surface water hydrology and erosion protection, groundwater issue, and soil cleanup. These amendment requests could involve such actions as review of changes to grouadwater corrective action plans, tailings reclamation plans, or decommissioning plans, or review of requests to approve completion of reclamation activities that require a review of the Completion Reports that document the completion of reclamation activities. The existing license, background information, and any information submitted with the requast will be made available to that the individual amendments ca 1 i s reviewed in accordance with applicable criteria.
i 2.0 Objective The objective is to confirm that licensed activities will be in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 40. CNWRA must first determine, in an acceptance review, if enough information has been provided by the licensee, and if information is lacking, request what is needed. With adequate information, CNWR A will do a c,* tailed evaluation to determine whether or not the requirements of 10 CFR 40 are met. If tN proposed amendment is considered deficient, the j
licensee will be requested to revise the request accordhgly to meet the requirements of Part 40.
Once a plan is acceptable, CNWRA will provide a writte Technical Evaluation Report (TER).
Review of Completion Report is documented in a Comr c tion Review Report (CRR).
3.0 Technical Qualifications Reauired CNWRA will provide the services of health physicists, geotechnical engineers, geochemists, surface water hydrologists, and groundwater hydrologists, as appropriate, who have the capability to evaluate each amendment request. Familiarity with NRC regulations and standard review procedures is required.
4.0 Levelof Effort The astimated total effort for the review of five license amerMments in this task is approximately 700 staff hours (0.35 FTE) for the technical reviewers. This does not include time spent waiting for licensee responses or NRC and management reviews.

5.0 Completion Date Approximately 7 months will be required after initiation of the task to complete review and evaluation of five amendments.
6.0 Scope of Work CNWRA staff will use the Draft Standard Review Plan (SRP) for the Review of Reclamation Plans for Mill Tailings Sites Under Title 11 of Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation control Act (December 1997), the draft SRP for ins:tu Leach Facilities, or other current design cuidance, examples of past amendment reviews, and discussions with NRC staff, to:
- 1. Become familiar with NRC's procedures for evaluating license amendments.
- 2. Evaluate the licensee's submittal,includir,g, as necessary:
- a. previous related licensing actions
- b. a previously-approved reclamation p;an
- c. relevant groundwater data, surfLce water and erosion protection data,geotechnicaldata and construction specifications
- 3. Prepare a status report which addresses CNWRA's amendment review conclusions and comments, including whether or not the amendment is acceptable as proposed, meets the standard, needs minor modification, or needs additional justification or supporting data.
- 4. Repeat steps 2 - 3 as necessary to reach a decision to either deny or accept the amendment request.
- 5. Prepare a final TER/CRR for the amendment request, presenting the evaluation of the request with a discussion of how it meets applicable enteria of Part 40. The report should be provided as a hard copy and in diskette form compatible with the WordPe.iect 6.1 processing system.
7.0 Meetina and Travel Two meetings (1 person,3-days per trip) to be held at NRC's offices in Rockville, Maryland (4 required), as directed by the NRC Project Manager.
Additional travel (1 person, 3-days per trip to westem states like WY, UT, and NM) may be necessary to a particular site, to review construction data and become familiar with site conditions, as approved by the Project Manager, 8.0 NRC-Fumished Materials Appropriate guinnce documents, including SRPs, Example Technical Evaluation Reports for amendments and Completion Review Reports for review of CR, Licensee's submittal, Background information, including any reiated previous licensing actions.

9.0 Schedule The following schedule of the staff time required is based on an average estimate of time intervals to accomplish a typical amendment. The time required to obtain responses from the licersee or management approval of various phases is estimated under the response column.
However, amendments can cover a wide range in their complexity, so the actual time spent on each review may vary significantly. Deliverable dates are not provided because of this variability and the fact that licensee submittal dates are unknown. However, CNWRA and NRC will agree on the delivery schedule at the begining of each amendment review task.
