NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION u
f-WASHINGTON, D.C. 30006 4 001 l
August 5, 1997 The Honorable Wayne T. Gilchrest U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515-2001
Dear Congressman Gilchrest:
This letter is to inform you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has completed its review of the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA's) Final Status Survey Report for the former DLA faciitty in Curtis Bay, Maryland.
Based on
'the staff's review, the decommissioning actions for the Anne Arundel County /Curtis Bay Depot site are complete. This site will t>e removed from the NRC's Site Decommissioning Management Plan.
The NRC staff's review included the results of NRC's inspections, the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education's (ORISE's) confirmatory survey, and DLA's Final Status Survey and Groundwater Assessment Reports.
DLA's decommissioning activities included decantamination and dismantlement of the former thorium storage warehouses and removal of radiologically contaminated soil from the warehouse footprints. DLA submitted radiological survey data for each phase of remediation, which staff reviewed. ORISE performed a confirmatory radiological survey during December 1996.
These surveys consisted of document and data reviews, gamma w rface scans, exposure rate measurements, and soil, and water sampling.
The final surveys showed that the site met NRC's' currently effective criteria for unrestricted use.
An NRC Region I termination inspection conducted on December 11, 1996, did not identify any violations of NRC's regulations.
In addition, gamma exposure rate measurements taken by the Region I inspector during the inspection did not reveal exposure rates in excess of the NRC's current limits for unrestricted use.in the areas evaluated.
NRC does not plan to take any further actions regarding this site and will not require any additional decommissioning in response to future NRC criteria or standards, unless additional contamination is found
,Jicating a significant threat to public health and safety.
If you have any questions,.please contact me at (301) 415-1776.
Sincerely, f
