ENCLOSURE I 1.
Backgrouno details on the Lincoln Park mill in Canyon City, Colorado, Cotter Corporation, Source Material License.
ISSUE:
Water supply contamination from earlier mill operation.
License condition that earlier contamination must be cleanup - possible Superfund impacts.
RESPONSE
In August 1958, Cotter Corporation began operations with a small scale alkaline leach mill. Over its 20-year operating period, the original mill was expanded to a capacity of 995 MT per day.
The tailings from these early operations were placed in an unlined impoundrnent.
To improve tailings management, in 1971 the company constructed a small lined pond.
A second lined pond (covering 5.3 ha [13 ac]) was constructed in 1973..This pond was linea with 20-mil PVC and was used for evaporation of mill liquids. A new lined tailings impoundment was put into use on August 3, 1979.
The impoundment was divided I
into'two compartments to acconnodate the old tailings and other wastes (secondary impoundment), and the new tailings (primary impoundment).
In 1981, Cotter Corporation began moving the old tailings to the secondary impoundment.
The tailings transfer has been completed.
Cotter Corporation has proposed a plan for decontamination and reclamation of the old tailings area and the State of Colorado is reviewing these plans.
The groundwater tronitoring in the area around the mill has shown significant levels above background for Mo, Se, 0, and gross alpha.
On March 3, 1981, the State of Colorado amended the Cotter license to require the licensee to. propose alternatives to eliminate impacts on offsite wells.
The license condition reacs as folicws:
19.4 The licensee, based on sample data obtained after June 30, 1979, shall propose, no later than January 30, 1980, a set of additional control alternatives to aliminate impacts on offsite wells.
Such controls shall be implemented as approved by the Department pursuant to the Departments written order.
In June 1984, Cotter Corporation submitted Part I of their plans to mitigate the groundwater contamination from the earlier operations.
The major actions included in P. art I of their plans are:
to install a hydrologic cut off barrier innediately upgradient of the SES dam (the SES dam prevents surface water from running offsite);
v
. 3 to install an inapproved pumpback system for groundwater captured by the barrier; to isolate and cap the. area of. the mill site formerly occupied by the old
)
tailings, which have now been removed to the new secondary impoundment; to install a process water pond; a
to implement'an improved surface water runoff control plan.
The'above items are to prevent 'any additional groundwater contamination from migrating offsite..This plan is currently under review by the State..
. On September 1,1983. EPA added the Lincoln Park section of Canon City, Colorado to their National Priorities List of hazardous waste sites established under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (popularly known as "Superfund").
In their Description of the site, EPA stated that the groundwater supplies in. this' area had been affected by the waste disposal activities of Cotter Corporation's uranium mill.
Under the Act, EPA included the site in
' Hazardous Group 8 (Group 1 is the most hazardous and Group'9 is the least
' hazardous grouping.)
Based on informal discussions With EPA staff, NRC.
staff understands this site was selected primarily because of heavy metal contamination.

ENCLOSURE 2 2)
Background information on Church Rock, New Mexico mill site, United Nuclear license ISSUE:
License status (1 or 2 page) - actions taken since issued including fines and penalties (Agreement State or Federal) or requiremer.ts.
Response
The United Nuclear Corporation, Church Rock mill was licensed in 1977 and began operations the same years 6 InJulyIg79,therewasabreakinthe tailings dam and about 350 x 10 L (93 x 10 gal) of effluent and 1000 MT (1100 ST) of tailings spilled on or into nearby soil and streams.
The mill was closed from July until fall 1979 while the spill was cleaned up to radiological. limits set by the State.
' In December of 1982 EPA included United Nuclear Corporation's facility near Churchrock, New Mexico in their initial "Superfund" priority list of hazardous waste sites.
The EPA September 8,1983 National Priorities list of hazarous waste sites placed this facility in hazardous group 8.
(Group 1 is the most hazardous and Group 9 is the least hazardous grouping.)
Based on infonnal discussions with EPA staff in 1983, NRC staff understands that this site was selected primarily because of heavy metal contamination.
In late 1979, the State of New Mexico became aware of additional ground water contamination from the Church Rock milling operations, besides that i
from the dam failure.
The mill has been inactive since 1982 and corrective actions to clean up the ground water are continuing.
The State of New Mexico has provided the following chronology of majsr events which pertain to the ground water contamination problem.
NEW MEX100 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT DIVISION (EID)
CHRONOLOGY OF GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION ACTIONS AT UNITED NUCLEAR CORPORATION (UNC) CHURCH ROCK SITE (1) Prior to November,1979 EID learned of seepage from UNC site posing a threat to the ground water.
e (2) November 9,1979 EID ordered UNC to define the cItent of seepage and to begin evaluation of corrective alternatives.
(3) October 28, 1980 UNC sampled off-site monitor well (TWQ-124) and found ground water contamination by a radiological constituent (Thorium-230) in concentration exceeding New Mexico Radiation Protection Regulation (RPR) standards pertaining to the release of radioactive mateirals beyond the " restricted area" (here the site boundaries) of a licensed facility.
By this time EID was already aware that seepage from the UNC site was also contaminating off-site ground water with various non-radiological constituents M.,
nitrates) in concentrations excceding the general Water Quality Coatrol Comission Regulation (WQCCR) standaros.
l (4) ' December 1,1980 UNC submitted to EID a ground water discharge plan for the site.
The plan, including subsequent submittals, was never found approvab!e by EID, due to inadequate demonstration of seepage control.
(5)
February 26, 1981 EID began its own sampling program at TWQ-124 for thorium.
(6) December 27, 1982 EID gave UNC written notice of a hearing on February 1,1983, regarding the apparent RPR violation at off-site well TWQ-124, as to thorium.
(7)
February 1,1983 A hearing was held on the thorium violation.
(8) May 6, 1983
. The hearing officer rendered a decision that UNC was guilty of RPR violation, by reason of off-site thorium contamination of ground water.
+
-.3 -
(9). May 23, 1983 EID issued to UNC a " cease and desist" order with respect to thorium violation, requiring UNC to take appropriate measures to remedy the problem.
(10) June 22,1983 UNC filed. suit in state district court, challenging EID's " cease and desist" order (and also challenging another related administrative action whereby EID had refused to grant UNC an exemption.from otherwise applicable RPR reqdMments that licensed uranium mills which do not add materials'to their tailings system for a period in excess of one year are considered to be " inactive" and must begin appropriate actions to stabilize their disposal system).
(11) February,1984 UNC purchased the adjacent parcel of land where the thorium violation had occurred.
(UNC takes the position that this land acquisition effectively moots the thorium violation, since the nature of the violation was allowing a radioactive material to escape the " restricted area" controlled i
by the licensee, and UNC contends it has a right to expand the " restricted j
area" defined in its license to include the newly purchased parcel.
Since UNC has yet to apply for such an amendment to its license. ELD has not had occasion to taken any action relative to UNC's contention, nor does EID agree that UNC's position is correct.
In any event, at most UNC's land acquisition could only moot the RPR violation as to radioactive thorium, and would not necessarily affect the WQCCR violations associated with ground water contamination by non-radiological constituents which may aready have spread [or predictably will spread] to off-site areas other-than the newly acquired parcel.)
(12)-April 13,1984 UNC's suit in state district court was dismissed on grounds of improper venue and lack of jurisdiction.
1 (13)May8.-1984
]
UNC appealed the dismissal to the state Court of Appeals, where the case is pending.

2.3 HEAP LEACH OPERATIONS Heap leaching is a method of uranium recovery utilized for treatment of low-grade uranium ores or old tafi;1gs piles (0.01-0.05% Us0s) or when a small ore body is identified ' at a remoto location from the mill complex.
The heap leaching process consists of leaching ore in a static or semistatic condition either by gravitational flow through a confined ore pile or an existing tail-ings pile.
The top of the heap pile is graded and divided into sections with dikes made from the ore.
An acid solution is sprayed or trickled over each 1
section to leach uranium from the ore or tailings.
The prepared base of t %
F pile contains pipes or covered drains to collect the uranium-enriched solu.
,n after it percolates through the heap.
The enriched solution contains approxi-mately one gram U 0s per liter.
Normally this solution is processed at the 3
leach site by ion exchange or liquid / liquid extraction for cc, centration and subsequent precipitation with ammonia.
Crude precipitate may be shipped to the mill for further processing through conventional milling circuits.
Uranium recovery from the heap leach process is on the order of 50% to 80%.
Six projects are currently licensed in Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.
When it was active, the Pinal heap leach in Arizona was a small (30-40 tons /yr) operation that involved blasting low grade ore from a mountain-side ore body of the Lucky Boy mine near Globe, Arizona.
This are was placed on two piles and leached.
Subsequent concentration and precipitation was con. ducted on the site, and the uranium was then shipped.as a slurry for conver-
.sion.
The Utah project involves leaching of uranium from tailings produced by mining of copper.
Ownership and location of the six licensed heap leach facilities are shown in Table 2.3, and individual data sheets for the sites follow.
