Enclosure 1 NMSS Comments on Illinois Proposal (Other than editorial or typos)
Comment Disposition 330.280(f)(2) - applicant' will Previously discussed with IDNS. The only need to " certify";that he phrase "and subsequently satisfies" will satisfy the requirements was added at OSP and OGC staff request in 10 CFR 32.58, .59 and .102? to make clear more than certification is-required.
340.2070(b)(1)(a)-wouldbe Follows Suggested State Regulations higher for certain isotopes (SSR). .Th.e cited Part 20 reference than under current Part is not fun'ctional since it 20.205(b)(1)(1) and is not references a section in 10 CFR 71 compatible with proposed Part which has be m deleted. Proposed 20 limits Part 20 will not be a standard for compatibility until promulgated.
340.4020 - does not require Follows SSR which requires immediate 4
that 30 day written reports reporting of loss or theft of l be submitted as required in licensed material by telephone and 20.402(b). telegraph.
340. App C - This appendix Previously discussed with IDNS which should be deleted or modified prefers to leave as is. Appendix C is to be at least as restrictive guidance and IDNS will apply limits on as NRC guidelines. Also, a case-by-case basis as appropriate Section 330.320 (d)(1)(B) thru license conditions.
should be reworded to be as restrictive as 340.4090(a).

5- i Comment Disposition
, Vol. I: The section on the The IDNS proposal discusses the Sheffield Low-Level Waste statutory and regulatory framework Disposal Facility lacks detail and staff and other necessary on closure and post-closure resources for closure and post-closure
- activities. For instance, no regulatory activities. These are infomation is given on
- time adequate. The NRC Policy Statement-table for State's takeover; for applicant Agreement States does what group will have which not call for additional detail in responsibilities during what this respect. Provided the Comission time period; what specific approves the request, the Sheffield activities that can be expected; license will be transferred to or plans for the legal Illinois on the effectiv'e date of the proceedings in the Thirteen Agreement. Decisions on legal Judicial Circuit of Bureau proceedings from tha't point on will County, Illinois. be Illinois. The IDNS application notes thati the Office of Environmental Safety will be responsible for regulating tfits facility. Resources from other IDNS Offices will be available as needed.
Vols. II & III: Nowhere in the 241-10 also calls for at least one applicable Illinois statutes, or public hearing in each comunity in supporting regulations, is selected for site characterization '
there a specific requirement for and to hold others at comunities an Environmental Report or request. Illinois regulations address Environmental Impact Statement the matters of environmental reports in support of activities related and comencement of constructions for to low-level waste disposal.
Illinois Rev. Statute-1983, comercial waste disposal by(land 330.250(b)1)&
burial in Section Supp. Ch. Illi p. 241-10 d does l require an Environmental Impact ,
Study of proposed LLW sites.
Vols I & II: Illinois enabling IDNS has comitted to enter into MOU's legislation (Illinois Rev. with other State agencies as needed Statute 1983, ch. 127 p.63b17) (p.31 of Vol. 1).
appears to give IDNS adequate authority to carry out its low-level waste management responsibilities. The legislation gives IDNS the primary responsibility for State waste management activities, some of which will be carried out "in cooperation with" other State agencies such as the Geologic and Water Resources Surveys. Some mechanism, Memoranda of Understanding, should be established between IDNS and the other agencies to outline the procedural steps for coordination of waste -
management activities.
i s , , _
.- s Coment Disposition Vol. II: Illinois. Rev. Statute No compatibility problem is causeri 1983, ch. Illi par. 230.6 by this. 1 requires that land used for
= waste disposal.be dedicated in ;
perpetuity to this purpose.
This requirement.gces beyond the 10 CFR Part 61 requirement for -)
100 year institutional control.
It is unclear as to wh' ther e IDNS' The NRC Policy Statewht does not or EPA or both would have require the matter ofjaixed waste authority over the disposal of be specifically addrestad. 0GC mixed waste. The State reviewed the IDNS legislation Environment Protec' tion Act and reg'ulations fo'r LLW and concluded '
(Illinois Rev. Statutd 1983, thet' adequate authority exists to.

_By this letter I request establishment of an Agreement between the U.S.
, . Nuclear Regulatory Commission (15tC) and the State of Illinois, as authorized under Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, under which the NRC will discontinue and the State of Illinois will assume certain regulatory authority for radioactive materials now under Federal l jurisdiction. I an authorized by the Illinois Radiation protection Act (Ill.
l Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 111 1/2, par. 216b) and the Illinois Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Act (1934 Supp. to Ill. Rev. Stat.1983, ch.111 1/2, par. 241-19) to enter into such an Agreement with NRC. The specific regulatory authority requer,ted at this time is for:
