Dear Mr. Daley:

. This letter is being submitted pursuant to 40 CFR 61.150 (d)(4) and in accordance with your letter

• dated July 1, -1994 confirming that Virginia Power's procedure for tracking low-level radiologically contaminated asbestos waste (RCAW) is acceptable for maintaining compliance with the National

. Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations. This is official notification that Surry Power Station (1) has not received a copy of a waste shipment record (WSR), signed by

• the owner or operator of the designated waste disposal site within 35 *days since the waste was

. shipped off-site (inquiry requirement time period) and (2) will not receive the WSR within 45 days (notification requirement time period).

On December 1, 1998, RCAW (Shipment S-98-3) was shipped from Surry Power Station to GTS Duratek and was received by GTS Duratek on December 2, 1998 (a copy of the asbestos WSR and GTS Duratek's receipt notification are attached for your review). Once the interim process is complete, the waste will be shipped to either Barnwell Waste Management Facility in Barnwell, South Carolina for final burial-(see Line 3) or shipped to another licensed facility for burial. The interim*

process is taking longer than expected and the signed WSR was not returned to Surry Power Station within 35 days. Therefore, a search was initiated to determine the status of the waste shipment.

On January 5, 1999, the 35th day, Surry Power Station inquired to GTS Duratek about shipment S-98-3 and was informed by GTS Duratek in a telephone conversation that the waste shipment will be processed after ithe 35th day and will not be buried until after January 15, 1999, the required 45th reporting date. The waste shipmentis still located at GTS Duratek. A copy of a written notification dated January 5, 1999, from GTS Duratek to Surry Power Station was forwarded to Virginia Power's Environmental Policy and Compliance (EP&C) Department and is attached for your review.

Once Surry Power Station receives the waste shipment records, the EP&C Department will be notified and then will notify the EPA that the outstanding WSR has been received and closed.
