Dr. J. C. Stauter, Director Nuclear Licensing and Regulation P. O. Box 25861 Oklahoma City, Ok~lahoma 73125 Gentlemen:
We have conducted a detailed review of your September 4, 1987, application for amendment of Special Nuclear Material License No. SNM-928 to allow onsite burial and stabilization of waste material generated from past operations of the Cimarron Uranium Plant. Our review reveals that additional information (see Enclosure) is required to allow us to complete the environmental assessment for the proposed action.
Please provide the requested information by the end of January 1988.
If you cannot meet this target date,'please inform us as soon as possible so that we can change our review schedule accordingly.
If you have further questions, please feel free to call me or Dr. Edward Shum of my staff at (301) 427-4510.
Sincerely,

OFFICIAL RECORD COPY
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR AMENDMENT RE0 VEST DATED SEPTEMBER 4, 1987 FOR ONSITE DISPOSITION OF CONTAMINATED SOIL AT CIMARR0N URANIUM PLANT 1.
Please provide detailed soil survey data around the Cimarron plant site.
For each contaminated area, please provide the estimated volume of contaminated soil; the average concentration of radioactivity; the nature of contamination from past operations; and solubility tests for each category of contaminated area.
Please confirm that each of the wastes proposed i
for disposal contain no wastes considered hazardous under RCRA for-characteristics other than radioactivity.
2.
Please provide a chronology of the past plant operations involving enriched uranium, thorium, and plutonium. Describe the operation. process used and the disposal of solid and liquid wastes from past operations that resulted in the various categories of contaminated areas.
3.
Are there any radioactive materials buried onsite from past operations? If so, provide the records on the volumes, locations, and average radioactivity concentrations.
l 4.
Are there any contaminated wastes frm the uranium plant operation which l
contain plutonium? If so, please provide data.
l 5.
Please identify in a map with a scale the locations of uranium plant yards #9,
- 28-C, #27-B; lagoon #5 and pipe line #3. Describe the nature of contamination in these areas.
In Fig. 1 of the submittal, sanitary lagoons are identified; has a radiological survey been made of these lagoons? If so, please provide data.
6.
Please provide ground water quality data (radiological and chemical) if any, on the wells onsite.
7.
Provide a avality assurance program on the radiological surveillance to implement the proposed action. The program should include a description
~
of the instrumentation and methodology used for radiological measurements with quality controls on calibration, interlab checking, and data evaluation.
i 8.
After cleanup to Option 1 criteria, will the cleaned area ground surface also be restored to blend with the area topography and to promote precipitation runoff, and be seeded,'etc.?
Cimarron Uranium Plant ~
2 9.
Provide additional data on measurements and sampling of soil, including:
o field and laboratory instrumentation; o
sampling and analysis techniques and procedures; l
o averaging procedures; and o
surveying procedures.
