SUBJECT:
FINAL. COMPLETION REVIEW REPORT FOR THE MEXICAN HAT AND MONUMENT VALLEY URANIUM MILL TAILINGS REMEDIAL ACTION PROJECT SITES
Dear Mr. Rael:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has completed its review of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Final Completion Report (April 16, 1997) and associated documents pertinent to the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project inactive uranium mill tailings sites at Mexican Hat, Utah and Monument Valley Arizona. These documents include Completion Report page changes transmitted on June 4. June 16, and July 29, 1997.
The NRC staff's review is documented in the enclosed final Completion Review Report (Enclosure 1), which discusses the staff's evaluation of the completed remedial action against the previously approved ph.. and specifications.
Based on its review of the Com)letion Report. NRC stai ' concurs that DOE has performed remedial action at t1e sites in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, with the exception of the selection and performance of a groundwater cleanup program at the Monument Valley, Arizona site.
00E, with NRC approval, has deferred this aspect of the remedial action to a separate groundwater remedial action program.
I have, therefore, signed and enclosed the DOE Certification Summary (Enclosure 2) signifying concurrence in completion of the Mexican Hat and Monument Valley remedial action (other than groundwater cleanup at the Monument Vcliey, Arizona site.)
If you have any questions concerning this subject letter or the enclosures, please contact the NRC Project Manager for the Mexican Hat and Monument Valley sites, Harold Lefevre, at (301) 415-6678, Sincerely.
