SUMMARY

OF i "THE REMEDIAL ACTION COMPLETION REPORT FOR THE SHIPROCK, NEW MEXICO, UMTRAP SITE" i

Documents Reviewed: "Shiprock,N.M., Uranium Mill Tailings Site Remedial Action Completion Report, Volumes 1, 2A, 28, 3A, and 3B,"

Final, August,1987; prepared for DOE by MK-Ferguson.  !

l The Geotechnical engineering aspects of the Final Completion Report on the k l Remedial Actions for the Uranium Mill Tailings at the Shiprock, N.M. site were j l reviewed to determine if the remedial actions at the site were performed in i I

accordance with the NRC concurred Remedial Action Plan (RAP) along with the approved modifications, final design and construction specifications, and I

whether the work was sufficient to ensure that the EPA standards and other site specific requirements have been met. Items of review included as-built drawings, compliance of construction operations and testing with the provisions {

of specifications and Remedial Action Inspection Plan (RAIP), reports of staff l observations and review of records during site visit, and DOE Quality Assurance i

Audits. The review of the above items was performed using the documentation 1 provided by the DOE in the Final Completion Report.  !

l Based on its review the staff concludes the following: I l

1. Appropriate tests (gradation) and inspections were performed to assure I that the proper type of material was placed for each item of construction, j The loose material was inspected before compaction to ensure that the l organic content was less than five percent by volume. The loose j thickness of the lifts was verified periodically to ensure conipliance l with the specifications for that material. Placement and compaction l operations were routinely inspected and tested to assure that the moisture and density requirements were met and that the soil moisture was uniform throughout the compacted lifts.

2. Laboratory and field testing were conducted in accordance with the acceptable test procedures and by trained and qualified persons.

3. The Completion Report shows that the frequency of materials testing and -

inspection comply with the frequencies specified in the RAIP.

4. As-built drawings adequately document that the remedial action was I i

completed consistent with the approved design. j d

5. Final slope, elevation, and placement'of the'remediated embankment cover were adequately inspected to ensure that the final conditions'were consistent with those stated in the RAP and final design.  !

The results of the staff review, which provides the basis for the above conclusions, are l presented in the attached table. Based on the above conclusions and on the I results of on site inspections performed by the NRC staff during construction',

the NRC staff concludes that the geotechnical engineering aspects of the construction were performed in accordance with the design and specifications  ;

identified in the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) and' Remedial Action Inspection l Plan (RAIP). In addition, the NRC staff concurs with the DOE that the remedial actions reasonably assure compliance with the EPA's standards in -

Subpart A of 40 CFR Part 192 with respect to the geotechnical engineering I aspects of the design and construction of the remediated tailings pile at the Shiprock site.
