    POLICY ISSUE INFORMATION September 15, 2003 SECY-03-0161 FOR: The Commissioners FROM: William D. Travers Executive Director for Operations SUBJECT: 2003 ANNUAL UPDATE - STATUS OF DECOMMISSIONING PROGRAM PURPOSE: To provide the Commission with an annual comprehensive overview of decommissioning activities, including the decommissioning of Site Decommissioning Management Plan (SDMP) sites and other complex decommissioning sites, commercial reactors, research and test reactors, uranium mill tailings facilities, and fuel cycle facilities. This report provides a status update on the decommissioning activities presented in last year’s report (SECY-02-0169), as well as current key decommissioning program issues. SUMMARY: Consistent with Commission direction, this paper provides a combined overview of all decommissioning activities within the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS); Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES); and the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR). Using SECY-02-0169 as a baseline, progress made in each of the program areas, through at least August 1, 2003, is described in this paper. CONTACT: John T. Buckley, NMSS/DWM (301) 415-6607 The Commissioners -2- BACKGROUND: In a Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) dated June 23, 1999, the Commission directed the staff to provide a single coordinated annual report on all decommissioning activities, instead of annual reports from separate offices. In addition, an SRM dated August 26, 1999, requested that the staff provide: (1) the status of the remaining active SDMP sites, including plans and schedules for each site; and (2) a summary report on all sites currently in the SDMP. In response to these SRMs, the staff provided comprehensive overviews of decommissioning activities in annual reports, SECY-00-0094 and SECY-01-0156, dated April 20, 2000, and August 17, 2001, respectively.

The effective date of Reuse Permit I-161-02 is November 20, 2014 with an expiration date of November 19, 2019. This report contains the following information: • Facility and system description • Permit required effluent monitoring data and loading rates • Permit required groundwater monitoring data • Status of compliance activities • Issues • Discussion of the facility’s environmental impacts. During the 2016 permit year, 180.99 million gallons of wastewater were discharged to the Cold Waste Ponds. This is well below the maximum annual permit limit of 375 million gallons. As shown by the groundwater sampling data, sulfate and total dissolved solids concentrations are highest in well USGS-065, which is the closest downgradient well to the Cold Waste Ponds.

  • Kennecott Groundwater Permit Pipelines
    GROUND WATER QUALITY DISCHARGE PERMIT UGW450012 STATEMENT OF BASIS US Magnesium LLC Rowley, Utah April, 2020 Introduction The Director of the Division of Water Quality (Director) under the authority of the Utah Ground Water Quality Protection Rules1 (Ground Water Rules) issues ground water discharge permits to facilities which have a potential to discharge contaminants to ground water2. As defined by the Ground Water Rules, such facilities include milling and metallurgical operations and ponds and lagoons whether lined or not. As defined in Utah Admin. Code R317-6-1, US Magnesium is considered an existing facility because it was under operation before February 10, 1990. The Ground Water Rules are based on an anti- degradation strategy for ground water protection as opposed to non-degradation; therefore, discharge of contaminants to ground water may be allowed provided that current and future beneficial uses of the ground water are not impaired and the other requirements of Rule 317-6-6.4.C are met4. Following this strategy, ground water is divided into classes based on its quality5; and higher-quality ground water is given greater protection6 due to the greater potential for beneficial uses. The Director has developed permit conditions consistent with Rule 317-6 and appropriate to the nature of the wastewater, facility operations, maintenance, discharge minimization technology7 and the hydrogeologic and climatic conditions of the site, to ensure that the operation not contaminate ground water. Basis for Permit Issuance Under Rule 317-6-6.4A, the Director may issue a ground water discharge permit for an existing facility if: 1) The applicant demonstrates that the applicable class TDS limits, ground water quality standards and protection levels will be met; 2) The monitoring plan, sampling and reporting requirements are adequate to determine compliance with applicable requirements; 3) The applicant utilizes treatment and discharge minimization technology commensurate with plant process design capability and similar or 1 Utah Admin.

    Environmental Defense Institute Troy, Idaho 83871-0220 http://envirinmental-defense-institute.org Assessment of Agency Five-Year Review Advanced Test Reactor Complex formerly called Test Reactor Area CERCLA Cleanup Plan Submitter by Chuck Broscious December 12, 2015 Rev-11 1 Preface This Environmental Defense Institute Review of the Idaho National Laboratory Advanced Test Reactor Complex (ATRC) - formerly called Test Reactor Area (TRA) - CERCLA Cleanup is an updated iteration of our previous Comments (March 1997) on the three agency 1992 collective Record of Decision and subsequent Five-Year Reviews. EDI’s review of the co-located Engineering Test Reactor (ETR) and Materials Test Reactor (MTR) Decommission – Decontamination is covered in separate EDI Comment on ETR – MTR CERCLA Cleanup 12/24/15. References are imbedded in the text in [brackets] with an acronym/agency document ascension number and page [“@”] number that can be identified in the Reference section with the complete citation at the end of this report. Tragically, the collective federal and state agency aversion for environmental remediation has not changed since the 1949 Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) designated National Reactor Test Station – now called the Idaho National Laboratory - in south-eastern Idaho desert as another nuclear sacrifice zone. The underlying Snake River Aquifer was perfect for providing the massive water needs for what the AEC and its successor Department of Energy required for the 52 reactors that were built/tested at the site. In the early years, the aquifer was both the source for reactor cooling water but also the place to inject the highly radioactive hot waste water that could not be dumped in percolation ponds for fear of worker exposure.

  • Comparison of Evaporation Rates from Feedyard Pond Effluent and Clear Water As Applied to Seepage Predictions
    COMPARISON OF EVAPORATION RATES FROM FEEDYARD POND EFFLUENT AND CLEAR WATER AS APPLIED TO SEEPAGE PREDICTIONS D. B. Parker, B. W. Auvermann, D. L. Williams ABSTRACT. Evaporation estimates are often used in water balance calculations to determine seepage rates from feedyard holding ponds and lagoons. These estimates have been made using empirical equations derived for clear water, Class A Pan evaporation measurements using clear water, and rule-of-thumb estimates. However, feedyard effluent has different physical and chemical characteristics than clear water. The objectives of this research were to compare clear water and feedyard effluent evaporation rates and to determine how inaccuracies in evaporation estimates affect seepage predictions. Small evaporation pans were placed in a 4 × 4 Latin square design adjacent to a Class A Pan. Four experiments were conducted to compare evaporation rates at different concentrations of feedyard effluent, and a fifth experiment was conducted to compare clear water evaporation at different salt concentrations to test for potential vapor pressure effects. For the two experiments when freshly collected feedyard effluent from a holding pond was used, representing typical feedlot holding pond conditions with visible suspended sediment concentrations and dark colored effluent, the feedyard effluent evaporated 8.3 and 10.7% more than the clear water (p = 0.001 and p = 0.0001). When week-old feedyard effluent was used, representing clearer effluent with minimal suspended sediment, the differences were reduced to 3.2 and 0.0% (p = 0.03 and p = 0.70). For clay liners with hydraulic conductivities of 1 × 10–7 to 1 × 10–8 cm/s, we show that underestimating evaporation by 10% when actual evaporation is 1.1 cm/day results in seepage rate predictions of 3 to 20 times higher than actual seepage rates.
