Good morning Shauna,
The Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (Division) has received your request dated
September 30, 2024 for Request for Director Approval (RFA) in accordance with the LLRW and 11e.(2)
Construction Quality Assurance/Quality Control (CQA/QC) Manual (revision 28c) (CQA/QC Manual)
Specification 163 Director Approval and 48 Hour Notification for placement of next design layer over
finished Radon Barrier.

A Division representative, Carlo Romano (writer), has conducted regular site visits to observe construction
earthwork operations, record overall progress, and review Quality Control/Assurance documentation.
During these visits, specifications were discussed with representatives of EnergySolutions to address
requirements in the CQA/QC Manual that are necessary for the RFA. As a result, physical documentation
was provided to the Division during each site visit and emailed intermittently between visits. This process
ensured that all documentation was reviewed by the Division in concurrence with construction.

Based on the site visits and the reviewed documentation, the construction and field testing of the Radon
Barrier including the 1x10-6 and 5x10-8 material lifts associated with Lot ARA8 appear to be in accordance
with the project specifications outlined in the CQA/QC Manual. The constructed Radon Barrier portion of
Lot ARA8 (as delineated by the map attached to the original RFA email) and supplemental
documentation are hereby approved and EnergySolutions may continue placing material atop this lot lift. All
other specifications concerning construction and post-construction of the radon barrier and final cover as
presented in the referenced plans and specifications remain applicable and are required to be
followed. Remaining Lots ARA9, ARA10, B10, C10, D10, E10, F10, G10, H10, I10, and J10, remain
subjected to review and are not approved for placement of material atop these lift lots at this time and require
following seperate RFA submission.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
