- 1 Introduction TheCimarron facility operated asanuclear fuelproduction facility under License SNM-928 until thesite wasclosed in1975.

Facility decommissioning beganin1976.Thedecommissioning of equipment, structures, andsoil iscomplete.

Thecurrent mission attheCimarron Site istheremediation ofgroundwatercontaminants to release levels established bytheUSNuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) andtheOklahoma Department ofEnvironmental Quality (ODEQ).

Asaresult ofanNRCorder dated February 16, 2011andeffective February 14,2011, thelicense hasbeen transferred totheCimarron Environmental

Response

Trust (CERT),

with Environmental Properties Management, LLC(EPM) namedasthetrustee.

Thegroundwater remediation activity requires

planning, data collection andmanagement, and decision-making tasks thataresubject toNRCestablished quality requirements, aswell as remediation requirements established bytheState ofOklahoma andthe ODEQ. Theearlier version oftheCimarron Site Quality Assurance Manual contained implementing procedures bearing theKerr-McGee nameandhadnotbeenrecently revised.

EPMdetermined that thesite Quality Assurance Program (inclusive oftheQAPP,implementing procedures,and supporting documents) needed tobeupdated toreflect theorganizational structure setforth in the license andtransfer

order, andalso toreflect thesite's current environmental remediationmission.

To thatend,EPMauthorized thedevelopment ofacompletely revised Quality AssuranceProgram Plan (QAPP),

issued asRev0.

Therevised QAPP isupdated andstreamlined tofocus ondatacollection andremediation activities that provide quality information tosupport site closure.

Thegoalistoestablish a

quality planthatiscompliant with therequirements ofLicense SNM-928, andwhich fully implements theguidelines established byNRCRegulatory Guide 4.15, Quality Assurance for Radiological Monitoring Programs (Inception through Normal Operations toLicense Termination)

- Effluent Streams andtheEnvironment.

Acrosswalk ofNRCRegulatory Guide 4.15program elements tothestructure ofthis QAPP isattached tothis section.

Thequality requirements arebased innuclear standards, butarealso fully supportive oftheremediation of chemical contamination.

TheCERTandits Trustee EPMarededicated topromoting quality ateverylevel ofCimarron Site

work, andtofostering anenvironment that encourages continual quality improvement.

A keycharacteristic ofthis environment ismaintenance ofa"no-fault" climate andreinforcement oftheneedtoidentify andcorrect nonconforming

Inmanufacturing operations, special processes include welding procedures andthenon-destructive testmethods usedtoensure weldquality.

Atthe Cimarron

Site, conventional manufacturing special processes arenotbeing usedtoensure nuclear safety.

However,this QAPP defines special processes relevant toCimarron Site activities asthose thatgeneratedatainsupport oflicense termination andsite closure.

This section explains the function oftheQAPP andits implementing procedures tocontrol special processes aspart ofthe overall QAprogram inplace attheCimarron Site.

9.1 Quality Assurance ProgramPlan TheQAPP provides forCimarron Site management toconduct regular surveillance ofonsite sampling activities andadherence tospecial process procedure requirements.

The QAPP also provides foraudits ofoffsite laboratories toensure thelaboratories areemploying good analytical process control techniques.

Finally, theQAPP provides anNQA-1 based structure that includes deficiency reporting; theability toidentify preventive andcorrective actions todata generation andreporting efforts; andtheability toidentify areas forimprovement where the potential fordeficiencies exist.

TheQAPP isNQA-1 based toaddress activities that could be performed within thescopeofNRCLicense SNM-928, butfocuses onaddressing theQA elements forenvironmental monitoring expressed inNRCRegulatory Guide 4.15.

9.2 Activity Plan AnActivity Plan(as implemented byQAIP 2.1) isrequired forthose activities which mayaffect decisions forlicense termination orsite closure.

TheActivity Plan provides ataskdescription andworkplan toidentify task-specific quality requirements, andalso actstoensure those requirements aremetandappropriately documented.

Activity Plans identify locations and requirements forindividual sampling campaigns (or other activities),

andmayusestandardized sampling procedures fromtheSampling andAnalysis Plan toprovide detailed well drilling or sampling workinstructions.
