The Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility (CVWRF) is situated in Salt Lake City, UT on a 168-acre site that includes the fonner Vitro Processing site associated with the Salt Lake City UMTRA Project. This meeting had been scheduled at R. Dahl's request to discuss CVWRF's insnediate need for expansion construction onto the processing site. The number of participants and organizations involved was unexpected, since earlier discussions with Mr. Dahl indicated a small informal meeting.
Following introductions, the meeting opened with Mr. Dahl's explanation of the problem faced by the CVWRF. Mr. Dahl 5 stated purpose for the meeting was to obtain from NRC an early detennination of completion for a sart of the Vitro site, to allow construction work to expand the CVWRF.

e, 3 37 W DGILLEN/1/16/87 necessary to meet a July 1, 1988 deadline under the Clean Water Act for the CVWRF to meet its NPDES effluent limits. On behalf of EPA, D0J is suing the CVWRF to meet that deadline and provide additional capacity of the CVWRF to eliminate current NPDES violations at older satellite treatment facilities which will continue to be used until the CVWRF is expanded. CVWRF expressed the fear that if they performed construction without full DOE /NRC certification, excavated material exceeding the 5 pCi standard may be brought l
to the surface, and CVWRF may be liable for clean-up and disposal of this material.
Prior to this meeting, the NRC staff was unaware of these circumstances.
Mr. Dahl was under the impression that the NRC was the obstacle on the critical path to certification. NRC staff indicated that he was misinfomed, and that DOE had to determine that remedial action had been completed.
Furthermore, the staff informed Mr. Dahl that we have received no such certification, and the i
most that NRC could do was to expedite review and concurrence upon receipt of DOE's certification. The NRC and DOE representatives suggested that Mr. Dahl i
meet with DOE in Albuquerque to discuss the status of the completion l
certification process, and NRC offered to attend the meeting.
On the day after the meeting (January 9,1987), Mr. Dahl contacted the NRC
.l staff and indicated that a meeting had been scheduled for January 14, 1987, in l
the DOE Albuquerque Office. He thanked the staff for their participation and efforts toward resolving his concerns.
