Dear Mr. Matthews:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed its review of tthe Remedial Action Plan and Site Conceptual Design (RAP) and all associated r documentation pertinent to the proposed remedial action for the uranium mill
, tailings site'at Tuba City,. Arizona. Our review is documented in the enclosed Technical Evaluation Report (TER), which' discusses the NRC staff's evaluation of Jthe. proposed remedial action for compliance'with the EPA standards.
Based on our review, we are prepared to conditionally concur in DOE's proposed remedial action. The NRC staff has identified one open issue. This issue is
! related to DOE's deferral of ground-water cleanup until after promulgation of EPA's final' ground-water protection standards.' .While the'NRC staff considers DOE's deferral to be acceptable, it' precludes us from being able to fully concur in the proposed remedial action. Therefore,.our concurrence will be conditional until the' staff determines that DOE has-adequately addressed this issue ~. You will note that the enclosed signature pages have been annotated to
. indicate that the concurrence is conditional.
If you have any questions regarding information' in the enclosed TER, please contact me at FTS 236-2805.
Sincerely, 890BO90313 PDR 890718 e WASTE D WM-73 pgg &
