SUBJECT:

COMPLETION REPORT.FOR SLICK ROCK, COLORADO, VICINITY PROPER 1Y SR-007

}.

Dear Mr. Rael:

b The'U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has completed'its review of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Vicinity Property Completion Report (CR) for.SR-007, submitted February 11,-1997. NRC concurrence on this CR'is required because DOE applied supplemental standards in the Radiological 1

Engineering Assessment _(REA) approved by NRC on November 4, 1996.

dhe recommended remedial action option selected by DOE at VP SR-007 was for no-2 remediation based on criteria b (remediation would cause excessive j

environmental harm) and c (remediation cost is unreasonably high relative to benefits) of 40 CFR 192.21. The supplemental standards package in the CR appears unchanged from the REA. Therefore, based on the information provided by DOE, the NRC staff concurs that VP SR'-007 was acceptably handled in accordance with the EPA standards. The NRC Review Form for Supplemental Certification of Vicinity Properties, containing NRC concurrence, is enclosed.

If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact the NRC l

Project Manager, Charlotte Abrams at (301) 415-5808.

Sincerely, t

(original signed by)
