RE:Radioactive Materials License UT 2300249
Dear Mr. Anderson:
On May 28, 2024, The Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (Division) received EnergySolutions’ response to the Division’s Request for Information (RFI) relating to the
Request for Approval to Construct and Evaporation Pond- Exhibit F: Confirmatory Sampling Plan (DRC-2024-005797; CD-2024-114).
The Division appreciates your prompt response regarding the matter. With respect to Exhibit F, which pertains to the confirmatory radiological survey plan of the location of the proposed
evaporation pond, the Division hereby grants EnergySolutionsapproval with the following conditions:
Provide the Division more than 72 hours’ notice for the sampling to be conducted by EnergySolutions as the Division reserves the right to observe the process and potentially split any
samples.
In the event thatEnergySolutions identifies/locates contamination be it radiological or chemical, within the survey area, the Division shall be given notification no later than 24 hours
after discovery.
A complete and thorough survey report shall be provided to the Division that discusses methodologies (i.e. MARSSIM) and findings of survey.
For the record, the Division would like to add clarity to your response to item 3 of the RFI. The statement, “In DRC-2024-005246, the Director notified EnergySolutions that the Clive
Facility will not be allowed to use the 2024 Evaporation Pond monitoring wells for the current hydrocarbon investigation.” is inaccurate and needs to be corrected for the administrative
record. The DRC document number that you referenced is:
1) In relation to the East Side Rotary Facility (ESRF)which is independent of a potential approval of the 2024 Evaporation Pond,and
2) states, “Monitoring Wells for the ESRF may not be utilized for the hydrocarbon investigation unless written approval from the Director is received and in no way shall impact the efficacy
of the well as Compliance Monitoring Wells.”
Pumping or treatment of a hydrocarbon contamination in a Compliance Monitoring Well has the potentialto impact geochemicalas well asother field data collected at the Clive Facility.
This portion of EnergySolutions’ response appears to be non sequitur and is inaccurate for the purposes of sampling at the 2024 Evaporation Pond unless needed to be addressed more completely.

If you have any questions, please call Larry Kellumat (385)-622-1876.
Sincerely,
Douglas J. Hansen, Director
Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control
