NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Number 40-8902]

 

Federal Register Notice of Amendment to Change Reclamation 
Milestone Dates in Source Material License SUA-1470 Held by Atlantic 
Richfield Corporation

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Amendment of Source Material License SUA-1470 to change 
reclamation milestone dates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission has amended Atlantic Richfield Corporation's (ARCO) Source 
Material License SUA-1470 to change the reclamation milestone dates. 
This amendment was requested by ARCO by letters dated August 2, 1994, 
and October 31, 1994, and its receipt by NRC was noticed in the Federal 
Register on September 7, 1994.
    The license amendment modifies License Condition 38 to change the 
completion dates for two site reclamation milestones. The new dates 
approved by the NRC extend completion of (1) placement of final radon 
barrier by one year, and (2) placement of erosion protection by two 
months. ARCO attributes the delays to (1) redesign of the radon cover, 
(2) difficulties in tailings consolidation, and (3) health and safety 
risks to workers due to attempts to meet the previous schedule dates. 
Based on review of ARCO's submittals, the NRC staff concludes that the 
delays are attributable to factors beyond the control of ARCO, the 
proposed work is scheduled to be completed as expeditiously as 
practicable, and the added risk to the public health and safety is not 
significant.
    An environmental assessment is not required since this action is 
categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11), and an environmental 
report from the licensee is not required by 10 CFR 51.60(b)(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ARCO's license, including an amended License 
Condition 38, and the NRC staff's technical evaluation of the amendment 
request are being made available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room at 2120 L Street, NW (Lower Level), 
Washington, DC 20555.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth R. Hooks, High-Level Waste and 
Uranium Recovery Projects Branch, Division of Waste Management, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Telephone (301)

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of December, 1994.

of Waste Management, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
