SUBJECT:

Request for Exemptions under 10CFR30.11 and 10CFR70.17 for Alternate Disposal of Wastes from Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility under 10CFR20.2002

Dear Sirs:

Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (WEC) submitted a request for an Alternate Disposal Authorization under 10CFR20.2002 to which US Ecology Idaho (USEI) is a party (Document# LTR-RAC-20-45, dated May 8, 2020). The Alternate Disposal submission is for approximately 175,956 cubic feet (ft3) of low-activity soils and steel cylinders containing byproduct and special nuclear material from activities associated with the processes at the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (Docket No. 70-1151, License No. SNM-1107). The Alternate Disposal would occur at US Ecology Idaho, a RCRA Subtitle C hazardous and low-activity radioactive waste treatment and disposal facility located near Grand View, ID. US Ecology and WEC have collaborated on the preparation and submittal of the Alternate Disposal Request and supporting documents.

Pursuant to final NRC approval of the above referenced submittal, US Ecology requests an exemption from the licensing requirements published in 10CFR30.3 and 10CFR70.3 for our Grand View, ID facility to allow for disposal of these wastes.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss this request further, I can be reached at (208) 319-1621 or timothy.jenkins@usecology.com.

Sincerely, Tim Jenkins US Ecology Corporate Health Physicist US ECOLOGY, INC.
