HYDROGEOLOGIC INVESTIGATION AND GROUND WATER, SOIL AND STREAM CHARACTERIZATION AND WORK PLAN SECOND SAMPLING EVENT REPORT (TAC NO. L31171)

Dear Mr. Sharkey:

This acknowledges ' receipt of your letter dated March 9,1999, transmitting the Hydrogeologic

- Investigation and Ground-water, Soll, and Stream Characterization and your letter dated May 26,1999, transmitting the Second Sampling Event Report.

The investigation, characterizations, and sampling were performed in accordance with the Hydrogeologic Work Plan dated April 28,1998. In a letter dated June 17,1998, the Nuclear

' Regulatory Commission (NRC) Informed you of our determination that the results of the field work specified in the Work Plan should provide a reasonable characterization of the site, which will enable you to determine appropriate decommissioning actions for the 10 CFR 20.304 burial area at your facility. It is anticipated that the data and observations in these and subsequent sampling event reports will provide a basis for a dose assessment to demonstrate compliance with the radiological criteria for license termination in 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart E. You are encouraged to evaluate the decommissioning approach in NRC Draft Regulatory Guide DG-4006, issued August 1998, and the references cited therein for its suitability for your site.

We have reviewed the Characterization Report and the Second Sampling Event Report. We have noted the laboratory quality assurance problems described in the Characterization Report and the elevated concentrations of radiological constituents identified in background well WS24 reported in the Second Sampling Event Report. Your contractor's proposed actions to address these occurrences appear to be appropriate.

-Your cooperation in providing timely sampling reports is appreciated.
