Dear Mr. Page:

~

This is in response to your letter dated December 21, 1981, which requested comments on the environmental assessment for the proposed stabilization of the AMAI Inc.'s Parkersburg, West Virginia, site.

' Enclosed with your letter vos a copy of the Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Site Stabilization at AMAI Inc., prepared by Science Applications, Inc., under Contract No. BOA NRC-02-80-035, Task 0009, for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

EPA has not promulgated radiation protection standards or guides l

for cleanup or disposal and stabilization of radioactive vaste at contaminated sites, and does not intend to do so before 1984.

Moreover, since materials controlled under the Atomic Energy Act are exempted under RCRA, EPA has not takan actions under RCRA to control radioactive ' source material. We believe that health protection is adequately assured through the NRC licensing process. Therefore, we are not providing specific comments regarding the proposed stabilization plan for the AMAI Inc. 's Parkersburg site.

I appreciate your courtesy in informing us of this action. If you have any questions concerning these cosaments, please contact Mr. Terrence McLaughlin, Acting Chief of the Radioactive Waste l.

Standards Branch (557-8977).

~

Sincerely yours, Gordon Burley Acting Director Office of Radiation Programs (ANR-458)
