SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 12 TO RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS LICENSE FOR

NORTHERN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING, INC./ TERRA FIRMA TESTING,

NRC LICENSE NO. 50-29121-01

Justin Andryjowicz,

Please find enclosed Amendment No. 12 to NRC License No. 50-29121-01 which

removes two Troxler 3400 series portable gauges, as requested in your e-mail dated

December 8, 2023. An environmental assessment for this licensing action is not required

since this action is categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(viii). You should

review this license carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions. You can

contact me at Samantha.Everett@nrc.gov or 817-200-1124 if you have any questions

about this license.

NRC expects licensees to conduct their programs with meticulous attention to detail and

a high standard of compliance. Because of the serious consequences to employees and

the public that can result from failure to comply with NRC requirements, you must

conduct your radiation safety program according to the conditions of your NRC license,

representations made in your license application, and NRC regulations. In particular,

note that you must:

1. Operate by NRC regulations 10 CFR Part 19, Notices, Instructions and Reports

to Workers: Inspection and Investigations, 10 CFR Part 20, Standards for

Protection Against Radiation, and other applicable regulations.

2. Notify NRC in writing of any change in mailing address.

3. By 10 CFR 30.36(d) and/or license condition, notify NRC, promptly, in writing,

and request termination of the license:

a. When you decide to terminate all activities involving materials authorized

under the license whether at the entire site or any separate building or

outdoor area;

b. If you decide not to acquire or possess and use authorized material; or

J. Andryjowicz -2-

c. When no principal activities under the license have been conducted for a

period of 24 months.

4. Request and obtain a license amendment before you:

a. Change Radiation Safety Officers;

b. Order byproduct material in excess of the amount, radionuclide or form

authorized on the license;

c. Add or change the areas or address(es) of use identified in the license

application or on the license; or

d. Change the name or ownership of your organization.

5. Submit a complete renewal application or termination request at least 30 days

before the expiration date on your license. You will receive a reminder notice

approximately 90 days before the expiration date. Possession of radioactive

material after your license expires is a violation of NRC regulations.

In addition, please note that NRC Form 313 requires the applicant, by signature, to verify

that the applicant understands that all statements contained in the application are true

and correct to the best of the applicants knowledge. The signatory for the application

should be the licensee or certifying official rather than a consultant. Since the NRC also

accepts a letter requesting amendment of an NRC license, the signatory for such a

request should also be the licensee or certifying official rather than a consultant.

J. Andryjowicz -3-

NRC will periodically inspect your radiation safety program. Failure to conduct your

program according to NRC regulations, license conditions, and representations made in

your license application and supplemental correspondence with NRC may result in

enforcement action against you. This could include issuance of a notice of violation;

imposition of a civil penalty; or an order suspending, modifying, or revoking your license

as specified in the NRC Enforcement Policy. The NRC Enforcement Policy is available

at: www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter

and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public

Document Room or from the NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible

from the NRC Web site at www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Samantha J. Digitally signed by
