SUBJECT:
ANALYSIS OF DRINKING WATER FROM RESIDENTIAL WELLS AROUND WINGF00T LAKE, PORTAGE COUNTY, OHIO
Dear Es. Grimmett:
During the period from April 25 through July 8,1994, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a special inspection at the Goodyear Wingfoot Lake Advanced Technology Center in Portage County, Ohio. Included in this j inspection was.the collection of residential drinking water in and around the' Goodyear Wingfoot Lake facility. Your residence was selected as a sample location and you voluntarily allowed our inspectors to collect a samp of your' drinking water. These samples were analyzed for gross alpha and bea radiation by an NRC contractor, the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Technology'(0 RISE) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The results were then compared to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for drinking water.

)
The EPA National Primary Water Regulations were promulgated on December 24, (
1975, in accordance with the provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act (Public '
Law 93-S23). Additional Interim Primary Regulations for radioactivity in drinking water were promulgated on July 9,1976. These regulations became effective on June 24, 1977, and became the standard by which alf public drinkina water supplies are evaluated. Although the above referenced drinking water regulations do not apply to private residential water wells, it is our practice to use the EPA criteria to determine the acceptability of the levels of radioactivity in private residential well water. For uranium, the U. S.
EPA limit-is 15 picocuries per liter (pC1/1) of gross alpha radiation and 50 pCi/l gross beta radiation.
Based on our review of the analysis of the sample of well water taken from your residence, the levels of gross alpha and beta radiation in the sample did agi exceed the EPA hational Primary Water Regulations. The levels of uranium measured in your drinking water were < 3.4 pCi/l gross alpha and < 2.9 pCi/l gross beta.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions
- regarding the above, please contact Mr. William Snell at (708) 829-9871.
