Since I keep mentioning this concept of a Letter from EPA and DOE defining the long term stewardship roles and responsibil ities of each agency at Church Rock and apparently I am not communicating it well, attached are the email communications, starting in January 2020 th rough March 2020 that I have regarding the construction of the letter that DOE and EPA planned to provide in September 2020.

There was a follow-up set of communications, where Art was looking for clarification of roles of EPA Region 6 and 9 following closure of the site in June. I can provide the follow-up communications if you are interested.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 3, 2019 Lance Hauer, Project Manager General Electric Global Operations, Environment, Health & Safety 503 Springbrook Lane Wayne, PA 19087

SUBJECT:

2019 ANNUAL SURETY UPDATE FOR THE UNITED NUCLEAR CORPORATION (UNC) MINING AND MILLING, DIVISION OF UNC, AMENDMENT NUMBER 54 TO SOURCE MATERIALS LICENSE SUA-1475, DOCKET NUMBER 40-8907 Dear Mr. Blickwedel Enclosed, please find the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Technical Evaluation Report for the UNC 2020 surety update for the UNC Church Rock Site in Gallup, NM. Also enclosed is Amendment 55 to Source Materials License SUA- 1475, which revises the amount of the surety to reflect the current cost estimate for decommissioning and reclamation of the UNC Church Rock site.

By letter dated, March 12, 2019, Agencywide Document and Management System (ADAMS),

accession number ML19078A089, UNC submitted its annual financial surety update for the Church Rock site, as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 40, Appendix A, Criteria 9 and 10, and License Condition (LC) 25 of UNC's source materials license.

R. Blickwedel The cost estimate breakdown includes:

Groundwater Restoration 1 $197,623

Decommissioning Surveys $11 ,950

Personnel Monitoring $7,945

Project Management, Labor, and Miscellaneous $878,571

Equipment $707,912

Long-Term Care Fee ($250,000 in 1978 dollars) $952,478 Total Decommissioning Estimate Costs $2,756,479 Contingency (15%)2 $713,472 Grand Total $3,469,951 The NRC staff has completed its review of the proposed 2019 surety for the Church Rock site using the guidance provided in NUREG-1620, Rev. 1, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of a Reclamation Plan for Mill Tailings Sites under Title II of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978."3 The NRC has evaluated the detailed individual elements of the decommissioning and reclamation costs for the Church Rock site and considers UNC's estimates to be comprehensive, reasonably derived, and appropriate. All estimated decommissioning and reclamation costs for contractor and consultant services include the costs for labor and equipment, overhead, and profit. The NRC finds that the surety portion for minimum long-term surveillance is appropriate.

Based on the NRC staff's review as noted above, Source Materials License SUA-1475 is amended by revising LC 25 to indicate that UNC's surety shall be continuously maintained in an amount no less than $3,469,951 until a replacement is authorized by the NRC. The aforementioned modification to LC 25 is provided as Amendment No. 54 to Source Materials License SUA-1471 (enclosed). An environmental review was not performed since this action is categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10).

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice and Procedure," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's document system ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

1 Additional costs for groundwater restoration activities are covered by financial assurance of $2M by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). By license condition (LC) 25, UNC must inform NRC of any changes to this financial assurance within 30 days of such change. LC 25 also states that this financial assurance cannot be reduced without NRC approval.

2 The 15 percent contingency calculation is based on the total decommissioning costs, including the $2M financial assurance obligation of the EPA.

3 ADAMS Accession No. ML032250190.

R. Blickwedel If you have any questions regarding this letter or the enclosure, please contact Mr. James Smith at (301) 415-6103 or by e-mail to James.Smith@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

//RAIi Bill Von Till, Chief Uranium Recovery and Materials Decommissioning Branch Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards Docket No. 40-8907 License No. SUA-1475

Cubic TECHNICAL EVALUATION REPORT FOR UNITED NUCLEAR CORPORATION'S 2020 SURETY ESTIMATE FOR THE CHURCH ROCK MILL SITE Docket No.: 040-08907 License No.: SUA-1475 DATE: December XX, 2020 FACILITY: United Nuclear Corporation's Church Rock Mill site TECHNICAL REVIEWERS: Trent Wertz, Doug Mandeville, Lifeng Guo PROJECT MANAGER: James Smith

SUMMARY

AND CONCLUSIONS By letter dated March 31, 2020, (UNC, 2020a), United Nuclear Corporation (UNC) submitted its annual 2020 financial assurance update for its Church Rock mill site to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). UNC submitted a revised financial assurance update on July 15, 2020, (UNC, 2020b). As discussed below, the NRC staff finds that the decommissioning and reclamation activities are adequately described and reasonable cost estimates for each activity were provided. Appropriate cost estimates were also provided for contingencies and long-term maintenance and surveillance. The NRC staff therefore determines that UN C's re-baselining effort adequately demonstrates compliance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 40, Appendix A, Criteria 9 and 10.

BACKGROUND UNC is the holder of NRC Materials License SUA-1475 (possession only license) for its former Church Rock conventional mill site near Gallup in McKinley County, New Mexico. The mill site included an ore processing mill and a tailings disposal area that covers approximately 25 and 100 acres. UNC has been the NRC licensee of this site since 1987. The Church Rock mill site ceased active uranium recovery operations in 1982 and has been engaging in final site reclamation activities since then. The NRC staff is currently reviewing UNC's license amendment request to modify the current reclamation plan to allow for placement of approximately 1,000,000 cubic yards of mine waste on top of the existing tailings impoundment at Church Rock. Additionally, the license amendment request addresses surface water drainage issues present at the site. UNC's submittal provided updated costs to complete the activities identified in the revised reclamation plan proposal. It also includes cost estimates to maintain the groundwater corrective action program, conduct groundwater monitoring and sampling, and to abandon wells.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION UNC's license was issued under 10 CFR Part 40, Domestic Licensing of Source Material.

10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criterion 9, "Financial Criteria" and License Condition (LC) 25 of the Materials License SUA-1475. These provisions require UNG to maintain an NRG-approved financial surety arrangement to cover estimated costs for its site decommissioning and decontamination activities. They also require that the cost estimates be calculated on the basis of completion of all activities by a third party, and that the cost estimate must be updated annually. LC 25 requires that the annual update be submitted prior to the March 31 anniversary Enclosure 1

date.

In addition, 10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criterion 10, requires that a minimum charge of $250,000 (in 1978 dollars) must be paid by each mill operator to the general treasury or appropriate State agency, prior to uranium mill license termination, to account for costs associated with long-term surveillance.

In conducting its review, the NRC staff reviewed UNC's submittal following the guidance in NUREG-1620, Appendix, Revision, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of a Reclamation Plan for Mill Tailings Sites Under Title II of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978," (NUREG-1620, Rev. 1 [NRC, 2003)).

UNC submitted its annual financial assurance update on March 31 , 2020 (UNC, 2020a), which was on the March 31 anniversary date. Therefore, NRC staff has determined that the submittal meets the license requirement for a financial assurance update specified in LC 25.

UNC's submittal (UNC, 2020b) includes a request to amend its license to increase its financial assurance amount for its Church Rock mill site to $23,421 ,383. This is an increase of

$19,951,432 from the current amount of $3,469,951. In determining whether the increase in the financial assurance amount is adequate, the NRC staff evaluated several factors for adjusting the cost estimate as outlined in 10 CFR 40 Appendix A, Criterion 9(f)(4) that included:

Inflation;

Changes in engineering plans;

Spills, leakage or migration of radioactive material leading to additional contamination;

Waste inventory increase above previous estimate;

Facility modifications;

Any changes to authorized possession limits;

Actual remediation costs above previous cost estimate; and

Any other conditions that affected the costs.

UNC's Church Rock facility remains in a non-operational status with no additional recorded events of spills or leaks. In addition, there has been no change to the amount of waste inventory subject to NRC jurisdiction, or changes in its authorized possession limits.

Furthermore, there has been no increase to the actual remediation costs of the site nor any other known conditions affecting the cost estimate. The increase in the financial assurance amount reflects the costs associated with the activities described in the license amendment request to place mine waste on top of the existing tailings pile. The NRC staff notes that its acceptance of the increase in surety amount to reflect the proposed relocation of mine waste is not prejudicial to the NRC's separate, pending consideration of that request. Additionally, UNC updated the long-term surveillance fee based on the change in the price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U).

The cost estimate breakdown includes:

Direct labor, equipment, material costs $15,101 ,239

Indirect costs $5,810,924

Non-labor, miscellaneous direct costs $201,517

Contingency $3,315,833 2

Long-Term Care Fee ($250,000 in 1978 dollars) $991,871 Total Decommissioning Estimate Costs $25,421,383 The NRC staff's review of the changes to the reclamation plan is described in more detail below.

Changes in Engineering plans The NRC staff-reviewed cost estimate for Church Rock and determined that the cost estimate does include the range of activities necessary to perform mine waste relocation, evapotranspirative (ET) cover construction, ground water corrective actions, restoration, radon barrier placement and cover construction over the remaining portion of the tailings impoundment, completion of surface decommissioning and reclamation, and release of the site.

The NRC staff finds that the cost estimate reflects the conditions presented in the LAR for the mine waste relocation submitted in September 2018 (i.e., earthwork quantities, riprap placement quantities, area, size, thicknesses of cover layers). The NRC staff compared the quantities in the cost estimate to the engineering drawings provided in the LAR and found them to be in general agreement. Additionally, the NRC staff performed spot checks of the calculations to confirm the methodology and arithmetic used. During its checks, the NRC staff did not identify any issues. For these reasons, the NRC staff determines that UNC has provided adequate justification for the current financial assurance estimate at the Church Rock. Therefore, the NRC staff has reasonable assurance that the financial assurance estimate is sufficient and accepts UNC's estimate for Church Rock relating to revised engineering plans associated with the relocation of mine waste to the mill site.

Groundwater Cost estimates related to UNC Church Rock site groundwater activities include monitoring and maintenance groundwater corrective action programs, monitoring well sampling, monitoring data analysis and reporting, and well abandonment. The NRC staff reviewed the cost estimates provided by Wood PLC, and finds that these groundwater related cost estimates cover activities described in NRC material license SUA-1457, Amendment No. 54 (license condition 30) for the hydrogeologic unit, Zone 1, Zone 3, and SW Alluvium at the site. The NRC staff further finds that the procedures and assumptions used by the licensee to calculate the itemized cost estimates are acceptable. As a result, the NRC staff finds that the financial assurance estimate related the site groundwater is sufficient.

Economic Considerations The costs in the annual financial assurance update are estimated based upon third party costs to reclaim, remediate, and decommission facilities and lands affected by past project operations.

All unit costs, labor and equipment, and other fees were included. Also, the licensee added 15 percent for contingencies as well as costs for long-term surveillance fees based on $250,000 (1978 dollars). Therefore, NRC staff has determined that the cost estimate is based upon third party costs, includes an adequate contingency factor of 15 percent, and accounts for long-term surveillance fees as required by 10 CFR 40, Appendix A , Criterion 9 and 10.

The NRC notes that Criterion 9 of 10 CFR 40, Appendix A requires, in part, that "[t]he amount of surety liability should be adjusted to recognize any increase or decreases resulting from inflation, changes in engineering plans, activities performed, and any other conditions affecting costs." For this submittal, the licensee's surety evaluation was completely rebaselined to 3

address changes to the engineering plans and other conditions affecting cost.

Proposed license condition The NRC staff proposes that condition 25 in license SUA-1475 be modified as shown below. By email dated October XX, 2020, UNC agreed to the NRC staff's proposal.

The licensee shall maintain an NRG-approved financial surety arrangement, consistent with 10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criteria 9 and 10, adequate to cover the estimated costs, if accomplished by a third party, for decom missioning and decontamination of the mill and mill site , reclamation of any tailings or waste disposal areas, ground-water restoration as warranted , and the long-term surveillance fee.

Annual updates to the surety amount, required by 10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criteria 9 and 10, shall be submitted to the NRC by March 31 of each year. Along with each proposed revision of the surety amount or annual update, the licensee shall submit supporting documentation showing a breakdown of costs and the basis for the cost estimates with adjustments for inflation, maintenance of a minimum 15 percent contingency fee, changes in engineering plans, activities performed, and any other conditions affecting estimated costs for site closure. The basis for the cost estimate is the NRG-approved reclamation/decommissioning plan as identified in License Condition Nos. 30 and 34, or NRG-approved revisions to the plan. NUREG- 1620, Rev. 1 (June 2003), Appendix C, outlines the minimum considerations used by the NRC in the review of site closure cost estimates. Reclamation/decommissioning plans and annual updates should follow this outline.

The licensee's currently approved surety, a performance bond issued by the Federal Insurance Company of New Jersey, in favor of the NRC, shall be continuously maintained in an amount of no less than $23,421 ,383 for the purpose of complying with 10 CFR 40, Append ix A , Criteria 9 and 10, until a replacement is authorized by the NRC. The licensee shall maintain a standby trust for the benefit of the NRC. The current standby trust is administered by the Bank of New York.

The licensee shall also continuously maintain financial assurance in favor of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, in an amount no less than $2,000 ,000. Such financial assurance may be provided by one or more of the methods set forth in 10 CFR 40 and 40 CFR 264, Subpart H, including use of a Financial Test and Parent Company Guarantee. The licensee shall inform the NRC of any changes to financial assurance within 30 days of such change. The amount of this financial assurance shall not be reduced without prior NRC approval.

UNC has previously submitted an NRC approved surety bond and standby trust agreement (STA) to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 40, Appendix A , Criteria 9 and 10. The licensee stated in its financial assurance submission that it will provide a bond update in the form of a certificate rider. Within 30 days of approval of the financial assurance update, UNC should submit an updated surety bond and Schedule A to its STA to reflect the new NRC approved cost estimate.

Environmental Review A license amendment to reflect an update in the amount of financial assurance or corrective revisions belongs to a category of actions which the NRC has determined do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the environment. Such actions qualify for a categorical 4

exclusion under 10 CFR 51.22(c) and do not require an environmental assessment.

Specifically, the NRC staff has determined that the financial assurance (surety) update is categorically excluded from further environmental review under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(1 0)(i).

CONCLUSION The NRC staff has determined that the UNC's annual 2020 financial assurance update for its Church Rock mill site adequately reflects: the decommissioning activities, unit costs; contingency; long-term surveillance fees; and financial assurance mechanism as required by 10 CFR Part 40, Appendix A, Criterion 9, 10, and LC 25.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Mr. Carmelo Melendez Director U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management 1000 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20585

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT FOR LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST, FOR THE FORMER UNC CHURCH ROCK URANIUM MILL AND TAILINGS SITE TO RELOCATE MINE WASTE

Dear Mr. Melendez:

I am writing to you to provide a copy of the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20210M050 (attached), developed by NRC staff in response to the License Amendment Request from General Electric (GE), dated September 24, 2018, to amend byproduct materials license SUA-1475 for the United Nuclear Corporation (UNC) Church Rock Mill Site in Gallup, New Mexico (ADAMS Accession No. ML18267A235). GE provided supplemental information by e-mail dated December 21, 2018 (ADAMS Accession number ML18360A424). In its amendment request, GE requested NRC approval of a revision to its reclamation plan to construct a repository for non-11e.(2) byproduct material mine waste on the 11 e.(2) byproduct material tailings disposal area at the Church Rock Mill Site, and to repair damaged site drainage features.

The NRC is providing you this SER of the licensee's amendment request in accordance with Appendix I, Item 7 of NRC's Standard Review Plan for the Review of a Reclamation Plan for Mill Tailings Sites Under Title II of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (NUREG-1620, Revision 1). We are providing the attached SER to make you aware of our findings. We will be providing you with the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) evaluating the environmental impacts of the license amendment in October. The intent of our providing these findings to you is to allow the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to review these findings and confirm that it does not object to placement of the non- 11 e. (2) onto the mill tailings site and that acceptance of the license amendment request would not impair DOE's long-term surveillance and maintenance of the site upon completion of the site reclamation.

Currently, we anticipate making a final licensing decision, based on our findings, in the Fall of 2021 and would need any DOE input and agreement prior to reaching a decision on the license amendment in early 2022. To facilitate meeting those milestones, we are requesting a concurrence and commitment from DOE to eventually accept the site with the mine waste within 120 days of receipt of this letter. We have worked with your staff leading up to this point throughout the review of this amendment and prior to the submittal.

BRIEFING FR JOHN LUBINSKI ON UNC 12 16 20 CALL VT ed it 2-a.docx Hello Trish and Jake

In preparation for the 12/16/20 Senior managers call on UNC, I've set up 2 briefings for John. The reason for these 2 briefings is that, rather than each agency staff developing the briefing material for their management, the 3 agency's staff are developing a joint briefing package, to include the agenda, responses to specific DOE questions and an analysis of the DOE's issues and resolutions. The EPA developed drafts of these documents (I shared last week and with John et al and you this am - sorry to have not included you last week) and DOE and NRC have provided comments to EPA on them. The staffs have the weekly call this Wednesday to go over the next draft, but I was not sure that all the possible issues/noodles would be addressed in time to do a full briefing for John this week.

WRT the 12/16/20 Senior Managers call, based on the discussions to date, and the draft agenda, I think that the NRC portion of the 12/16/20 meeting will be done in the first 1/2 hour. The focus will be on developing the path forward to address!

(b)(5)

I I set up a 1/2 hour briefing with John for this Thursday to go over where we are with respect to the briefing and would use the attached POP to get his buy in on how the 12/16/20 meeting would work, as indicated above.

As soon as the staffs have completed the briefing material (hopefully this week) we would send it to John and our folks for their review. The full briefing next week would be to answer any questions he has on the final briefing material.

If this makes sense to you please let me know. If you have any comments on the POP let me know or if none I'll ask Christine to attach it to the Thursday scheduler.

Thanks Nick

FW: RE: Church Rock Surety SER and License Amendment Hey Trent-I just got this feedback from Lance at GE-UNC Church Rock regarding the update to the Financial Surety Update T ER and suggested license amendment. It appears that they want to exclude the $2 million they have set aside separately posted for the EPA. I think that is consistent with what they have done in the past. Are you OK with the change, or do you want to call Lance with me next week to discuss?

Thanks Jim

RE: Church Rock SER Input

Jim, Yes, we should ask the licensee to make sure they are using the same institution as before. If not, we will need the specifics to put in the license condition.

They have 30 days to tell us of the change.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

RE : Church Rock SE Input Trent -

Attached are the documents to complete the UNC license amendment number 55 to incorporate the 2020 Financial Surety for UNC Church Rock. Before I put it into concurrence, I assume that we normally provide a copy of the draft license amendment, so that the licensee can provide us with specifics regarding the actual Financial Institutions and Instruments, the paragraph below from the TER is fairly specific. Are these the correct financial institutions or do we need to contact the licensee for the specifics?

The licensees currently ai:2proved surety, a performance bond issued by the Federal Insurance Company of New Jersey, in favor of the NRC, shall be continuously maintained in an amount of no less than $25,421,383 for the purpose of complying with 10 CFR 40 Appendix A Criteria 9 and 10, until a replacement is authorized by the NRC. The licensee shall maintain a standby trust for the benefit of the NRC. The current standby trust is administered by the Bank of New York.

If not, should we provide a draft of the TER and license condition to the licensee, so that they can revise it. Additionally, I spoke with Lance Hauer, the GE Team Leader for UNC, and since he is new to the project he wanted more information about the time period that GE would be given to secure the Bond and the standby trust.

NEPA suggested some ways to reach the local community via radio, presentations at Navajo committee meetings and chapter council meetings. NNEPA acting Executive Director, Ronnie Ben requested that we extend the comment period on the Draft EIS. Requesting an additional 90 days on top of the already requested 60-day extension. Noting additional time would allow for outreach and ensure community members comments and concerns are heard. NNEPA offered to facilitate meetings between NRG and members of the Navajo Nation. Ronnie Ben also requested for future meetings that NRG use a different meeting facilitator.

My own recommendation is to extend to accommodate the Navajo Nation due to COVID but Jessie and Ashley need to assess how that would impact the schedule for the Final EIS and then the licensing action. Once you weigh in we need to brief John on this point but we do have a prep meeting with him today at 4 pm for the high level meeting tomorrow at 12 noon. We can certainly set something up to discuss but logistically with all of us prior to the meeting with John may be difficult. I also cut and pasted the current schedule below.

Good morning NMSS, In recognition of the Thanksgiving Day holiday and as a thank you to the staff for its hard work and dedication to the NRC, the Chairman has authorized Office Directors to dismiss non-emergency personnel, including those who are teleworking, 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months before the end of their scheduled workday on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, and grant excused absence for the time off.

For NMSS, we are granting 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months excused absence (instructions/conditions from OCHCO are pasted below). Your commitment and dedication to our mission during these unprecedented times is very inspiring, and for it we are very grateful. Thank you for your professionalism, dedication to the public, and for always looking for new and creative ways of strengthening our team and mission. We hope you enjoy the time off with your family, safely. and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

-John and Rob Non-emergency employees, including employees who are teleworking, may be authorized to leave work 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months earlier than their normal departure time and receive excused absence for the time off on Wednesday, November 25, 2020. This includes employees who were scheduled to take leave after the beginning of the excused absence period (for example, an employee scheduled to take 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months of leave before his or her normally scheduled departure time may receive 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months of excused absence rather than take leave). An employee who is on leave early in the day and who reports to work may also be dismissed early and receive excused absence.

Emergency employees are expected to remain at work unless excused by their supervisors.

Employees are not eligible for excused absence in the following situations:

Compressed Work Schedule (CWS)/NEWFlex day off- Employees for whom November 25, 2020, is a CWS or NEWFlex day off may not be granted excused absence for this scheduled non-workday and are not eligible for "in-lieu-of' time off.

Approved time off for the entire workday - Employees who are absent for the entire workday on approved leave or paid time off (e.g., annual leave, sick leave, credit hours, compensatory time off), remain in that status for the entire workday.

Non-pay status - Employees on LWOP, worker's compensation, suspension, or in another non-pay status, may not be granted excused absence. Because these employees have no expectation of working and receiving pay for the day, they are not granted excused absence and remain in their current status.

Release of contractor employees is governed by the terms of their contracts.

Contractor employees should consult with their management regarding early release.

Supervisors and employees should ensure that time and labor entries for the pay period correctly reflect the employee's status for the day. Employees should charge the excused absence to HRMS time reporting code EXCUS.

For questions, please contact your servicing OCHCO representative.

[EXTERNAL] RE: Action Items from Novem ber 4, 2020, UNC Church Rock License Amendment Req uest Federal Agency Status M eet ing Jim, Thanks for sending the action items!

I realize that Art is al ready under a great deal of t ime pressure, but just wanted to mention t hat I t hink the next cal l w ill be most productive if Art is able to send DOE LM questions, as well as the DOE's role post -

closu re, by CO B Monday, Nov. 16.

In case this is helpfu l, I attach a DOE LM April 2016, and provide a relevant excerpt below:

"Process for Transition of Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act Title II Disposal Sites to the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management for Long-Term Surveillance and Maintenance, April 2016 LMS/S05096" Exceprt: (p. 13 of pdf, labeled page 7 w it hin document)

"Fol lowing the site transition, N RC continues to regulate byproduct radioactive material under a

general license issued to DOE. The DOE general license for the long-term care of Title II sites is codified at Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 40.28 (10 CFR 40.28) "General License for Custody and Long-Term Care of Uranium or Thorium By-Product Materials Disposal Sites,"

and requirements are also established at 10 CFR 40 Appendix A.

Four uranium mill sites are regulated under Title II of UMTRCA and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and are subject to dua regulation by the NRC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) . The disposal sites at Uravan, Colorado; Church Rock, New Mexico; Grants, New Mexico; and Canon City, Colorado, are listed on the National Priorities List and are regulated by EPA as Superfund sites.

Two of the sites, Grants and Church Rock, are under an NRC specific license. The other two sites, Uravan and Canon City, are licensed under the authority of the State of Colorado as the primary regulator, using its agreement state status. Under CERCLA, EPA may have requirements that are in addition to those in the specific or general licenses under 10 CFR 40.

However, once the licensee has met all NRC or agreement state requirements, NRC or the agreement state will have no basis for denying a request to terminate any specific license (NUREG-1620, Appendix E), and transition will occur. At the time of transition, NRC and EPA will determine the regulatory roles of each agency.

In accordance with the Protocol, because the disposal site is licensed by NRC under the general license, NRC has primary regulatory authority for the radioactive materials and the associated remedies at the site. As the long-term custodian, DOE is responsible only for the materials, terms, and conditions that are required under UMTRCA and for meeting the requirements included in the genera l license and that are provided in the NRC-approved LTSP . For dual regulated fill.es, any unresolved CERCLA issues that fall outside the scope of DOE's general license wil l be resolved between the EPA and potentially responsible parties. These concerns are beyond the limits of DOE's custodial authority and NRC's regulatory authority for the site.

A licensee's proposal to co-dispose non-lle.(2) byproduct materia ls, including those containing listed hazardous wastes or other materials regulated by another federal or state agency, must foll ow the guidance in NUREG-1620 Appendix I. Before granting the licensee an amendment to allow such disposal, NRC or the agreement state must receive concurrence and commitmenti from DOE to accept the disposal cell after closu re.

Please let me know if you have any quest ions or concerns. Thank you! Lau rie Laurie Williams Assistant Regional Counsel

Subj ect: RE : FYI/Action: Church Rock Doug Ashley and I were discussing this issue early this morning and agree that someone needs to prepare our Stakeholder Contacts, including OCA and maybe OPA.

I know Jenny, and I've had plenty of interaction with her on the Hunter's Point[Tetra Tech Issue, but nothing that I can recall related to this project.

Bill If it's OK with you, I'll contact Jenny a call and I assume Scott Burnell in OPA and give them a heads up. If you'd rather do the calls yourself, and put the right NMSS management spin on it, I"d understand.

RE: FYI/Action: Church Rock Jim-This isn't related to the meeting between John L and Carmelo, but it might make sense to give OCA a heads up on the overall status and the recent correspondence from DOE in case EPA or DOE start getting the oversight committees involved.

RE: FYI/Action: Church Rock It looks like Jake is recommending that we include the schedule that we have listed on the UNC Website bttps*//nrcweb ore gov/jnfo-finder/decommissiooiog/uraoium/united-nudear-corporatjon-unc- html On September 24, 2018, General Electric (ADAMS Accession Numbers ML18360A424 and ML18267A235) requested an amendment to their reclamation plan approved as described in License Condition 34 as well as the reclamation t imelines defined in License Condition 35. This amendment, if granted, would allow activities at the site include construction of a Repository for mine-impacted soil and debris on the licensed mill tailings disposal area. Mine waste will be removed from the Northeast Church Rock Mine Site transported to and placed in the Repository, located on the existing TOA. This LAR describes the nearby population, local climate, site geology, geomorphology, and seismicity. The LAR includes a review of the site surface water hydrology, groundwater hydrology and current environmental monitoring for the site.

On December 21, 2018, the NRC staff contacted GE-UNC, to advise them that the application had been deemed acceptable for review and the formal review process wou ld begin. On March 7, 2019, the NRC staff sent a forma l acceptance letter, (ADAMS Accession Number ML19044A592) which contained an initial schedule for the review. A reyjsed schedule letter was issued July 29, 2020. The revised schedule for the NRC staff review is as fo llows:

NRC Milesto nes Projected Completion date Safety review RAis - Group 1 May 2019 Safety review RAis - Group 2 July 2019 Environmental review RA!s August 2019 Safety Evaluation Report September 2020 Draft Environmental Impact Statement October 2020 Final Environmental Impact Statement August 2021 Complete Concurrence Process with appropriate Federal and State entities. December 2021 Issue Amendment Decision January 2022 Additionally, the NRC staff published a Federal Register Notice, Federal Register Volume 84 Issue 49 (March 13, 2019),

regarding the License amendment application; the opportunity to request a hearing and to petition for leave to intervene.

The NRC began its environmental review a~er acceptance of the license application for detailed review. The NRC's environmental review process started with the publication in the Federal Register of the Notice of Intent to prepare the EI S

( 84 FR 2935 for this project). On March 19 and 21, the NRC staff conducted a set of public scoping meetings in Gallup, New Mexico to develop the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement for the application.

If so I can put that information into the briefing document.

FW: RE: Church Rock Surety SER and License Amendment Hey Trent-I just got this feedback from Lance at GE-UNC Church Rock regarding the update to the Financial Surety Update TER and suggested license amendment. It appears that they want to exclude the $2 million they have set aside separately posted for the EPA. I think that is consistent with what they have done in the past. Are you OK with the change, or do you want to call Lance with me next week to discuss?

AND CONCLUSIONS By letter dated March 31, 2020, (UNC, 2020a), United Nuclear Corporation (UNC) submitted its annual 2020 financial assurance update for its Church Rock mill site to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). UNC submitted a revised financial assurance update on July 15, 2020, (UNC, 2020b). As discussed below, the NRC staff finds that the decommissioning and reclamation activities are adequately described and reasonable cost estimates for each activity were provided. Appropriate cost estimates were also provided for contingencies and long-term maintenance and surveillance. The NRC staff therefore determines that UN C's re-baselining effort adequately demonstrates compliance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 40, Appendix A, Criteria 9 and 10.

BACKGROUND UNC is the holder of NRC Materials License SUA-1475 (possession only license) for its former Church Rock conventional mill site near Gallup in McKinley County, New Mexico. The mill site included an ore processing mill and a tailings disposal area that covers approximately 25 and 100 acres. UNC has been the NRC licensee of this site since 1987. The Church Rock mill site ceased active uranium recovery operations in 1982 and has been engaging in final site reclamation activities since then. The NRC staff is currently reviewing UNC's license amendment request to modify the current reclamation plan to allow for placement of approximately 1,000,000 cubic yards of mine waste on top of the existing tailings impoundment at Church Rock. Additionally, the license amendment request addresses surface water drainage issues present at the site. UNC's submittal provided updated costs to complete the activities identified in the revised reclamation plan proposal. It also includes cost estimates to maintain the groundwater corrective action program, conduct groundwater monitoring and sampling, and to abandon wells.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION UNC's license was issued under 10 CFR Part 40, Domestic Licensing of Source Material.

10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criterion 9, "Financial Criteria" and License Condition (LC) 25 of the Materials License SUA-1475. These provisions require UNG to maintain an NRG-approved financial surety arrangement to cover estimated costs for its site decommissioning and decontamination activities. They also require that the cost estimates be calculated on the basis of completion of all activities by a third party, and that the cost estimate must be updated annually. LC 25 requires that the annual update be submitted prior to the March 31 anniversary Enclosure 1

date.

In addition, 10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criterion 10, requires that a minimum charge of $250,000 (in 1978 dollars) must be paid by each mill operator to the general treasury or appropriate State agency, prior to uranium mill license termination, to account for costs associated with long-term surveillance.

In conducting its review, the NRC staff reviewed UNC's submittal following the guidance in NUREG-1620, Appendix, Revision, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of a Reclamation Plan for Mill Tailings Sites Under Title II of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978," (NUREG-1620, Rev. 1 [NRC, 2003)).

UNC submitted its annual financial assurance update on March 31 , 2020 (UNC, 2020a), which was on the March 31 anniversary date. Therefore, NRC staff has determined that the submittal meets the license requirement for a financial assurance update specified in LC 25.

UNC's submittal (UNC, 2020b) includes a request to amend its license to increase its financial assurance amount for its Church Rock mill site to $23,421 ,383. This is an increase of

$19,951,432 from the current amount of $3,469,951. In determining whether the increase in the financial assurance amount is adequate, the NRC staff evaluated several factors for adjusting the cost estimate as outlined in 10 CFR 40 Appendix A, Criterion 9(f)(4) that included:

Inflation;

Changes in engineering plans;

Spills, leakage or migration of radioactive material leading to additional contamination;

Waste inventory increase above previous estimate;

Facility modifications;

Any changes to authorized possession limits;

Actual remediation costs above previous cost estimate; and

Any other conditions that affected the costs.

UNC's Church Rock facility remains in a non-operational status with no additional recorded events of spills or leaks. In addition, there has been no change to the amount of waste inventory subject to NRC jurisdiction, or changes in its authorized possession limits.

Furthermore, there has been no increase to the actual remediation costs of the site nor any other known conditions affecting the cost estimate. The increase in the financial assurance amount reflects the costs associated with the activities described in the license amendment request to place mine waste on top of the existing tailings pile. The NRC staff notes that its acceptance of the increase in surety amount to reflect the proposed relocation of mine waste is not prejudicial to the NRC's separate, pending consideration of that request. Additionally, UNC updated the long-term surveillance fee based on the change in the price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U).

The cost estimate breakdown includes:

Direct labor, equipment, material costs $15,101 ,239

Indirect costs $5,810,924

Non-labor, miscellaneous direct costs $201,517

Contingency $3,315,833 2

Long-Term Care Fee ($250,000 in 1978 dollars) $991,871 Total Decommissioning Estimate Costs $25,421,383 The NRC staff's review of the changes to the reclamation plan is described in more detail below.
