Dear Mr. Virgona:
The NRC has completed a review of the Radiological and Engineering Assessment (REA)forVicinityPropertyNo.GJg99-CS,assubmittedinyourletterdated April 16, 1992.
o Based on our review, we have concluded that the criteria for application of supplemental standards in 40 CFR 192.21(c) have been satisfied.
Allowing the contaminated material to remain in place is reasonable under the circumstances, and the requirements of 40 CFR 192.22(a) are also satisfied, g
We therefore concur with the application of supplemental standards as described in the REA for Vicinity Property No. GJ-90099-CS.
Should you have any questions, please contact Paul Michaud at (303) 231-5809.
Sincerely, O

SUBJECT:
Approval of Remedial Action Design Package Utilizing Supplemental Standards for Landmark Refinery in frutta, C0
Dear Mr. Itall:
Enclosed is one copy of the Radiologic and Engineering Assessment (REA) for the following location:
GJ-90099-CS 1501 llwy 6 and 50, frutta GJ-17553-CS 1549 Hwy 6 and 50, fruita GJ-34367-CS 1549 Hwy 6 and 50, fruita GJ-38512-CS 1549 Hwy 6 and 50, fruita GJ-38513-CS 1549 Hwy 6 and 50, fruita The REA has been reviewed and approved by the Department of Energy and is being forwarded to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for their review and approval.
The engineering assessment dces propose utilization of EPA supplemental standards for approximately a 690 square foot concrete crude oil furnace foundation located within a petroleum refinery.
The tailings are contained in the concrete aggregtte of the 76 inch thick foundation of a 100 foot high furnace which is interconnected to the refinery piping network.
The crude oil furnace is a permanent facility within the large industrial complex, which is expected to remain a refine y for the foreseeable future.
The DOE proposes to leave the tailings in place, and there is little potential for future migration because of the nature of the facility and the control the owner has over it.
The DOE has evaluated three possible remedial action alternatives and the associated health risks, and has determined that no remediation is the best alternative.
The Health Risk Analysis suggests that there are no identifiable significant healti risks if supplemental standards were applied to this strip of land.
This proposed course of action has been discussed with G. A. Franz, Colorado Department of Health, Grand Junction Office, and representatives of Landmark Refinery (Owner) at meetings and a site inspection. The Owner has ex)ressed concern over the application of supplemental standards. As part of tie Governor Romer (CO)/ Bruce Twining (Albuquerque field Office Manager)
Agreement, a long-term tailings control and management plan is being developed.
Public input meetings are tentatively scheduled for May 1992 in Grand Junction.

i Mr. Ramon Hall April 16, 1992 Tiie justification checklist, property condition description, considerations, cost applications breakdown, justification and the 1roperty owner comments are included in the REA. The supplemental standards application is being requested because remedial action would result in an estimated cost which is unreasonably high relative to the long-term health benefits (criteria c).
After NRC has reviewed this document, and if you agree with the planned remedial action, please forward a letter concurring with this course of action by May 10, 1992.
If you have any questions or require additional information, do not hesitate to contact me at 303/248-6006.
Sincerely,
