SUBJECT:
TRIP REPORT - DOE / STATES / TRIBES UMTRAP MEETING JULY 29-31, 1987 SPARKS, NEVADA This meeting provides an opportunity for the major participants of the UMTRA -
Program to discuss concerns and progress of the program overall and with respect to specific site activities. Before the participant discussions and.
I presentations, DOE arranged for a site visit to the Lakeview, Oregon site.
Excavation is moving rapidly and approximately six weeks of excavation and construction remain to be done. The Lakeview site is a relocation project, and the site tour included both the processing and the disposal sites. Concerns remaining at the sites include the presence of unusual concentrations of arsenic in the sediment and adequacy of good quality riprap. Should the extent of arsenic contamination prove to be greater than previously estimated, it may require cell redesign to provide increased capacity. DOE and the State of Oregon staff are presently investigating the extent of the contamination and its potential impacts.
(
The second day consisted of presentations by DOE, DOE contractors, State, NRC l
and EPA representatives. The keynote presentation was by Dr. Allan Richardson l
(EPA), who discussed the proposed EPA ground-water protection standards for l
Title I, which are to be published this month. Besides including the RCRA List ofHazardousConstituents--Molybdenum.(0.'1mg/L), Radium (5pCi/L), Uranium (30 p Ci/L) and Nitrate (10 mg/L)--numerical standards were included in the list.
The proposed standards will permit the use of supplemental standards and institutional measures.
Groundwater restoration strategies were of great interest to the participants.
l A number of DOE contractors and State and Indian Tribes brought up the possibility of having to use lixiviants to accelerate restoration programs at a i.
number of UMTRA sites.
Vicinity property annotation of land records is moving forward by means-of a proposed rulemaking. This proposed rulemaking is under consideration at DOE /HQ, and its purpose is to alert potential property buyers regarding the l
post-remedial action condition of vicinity properties.
The final day consisted of presentations by the individual State and Tribe representatives.
In addition a Colorado consultant discussed past experience with state legislature and local action group interactions with the main UMTRAP 8708110502 870005 PDR WASTE WM-39 PDR
TRIP REPORT /G. GNUGNOLI participants. The main observation was that political issues tended to be much more difficult to resolve than technical ones.
