BOX 16690 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84116-0690 Ground Water Quality Discharge Permit In compliance with the provisions of the Utah Water Quality Act, Title 19, Chapter 5, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended, EnergySolutions, LLC 423 West 300 South, Suite 200 Salt Lake City, Utah 84101 hereafter referred to as the "Permittee", is granted a Ground Water Quality Discharge Permit for a Low-Level Radioactive Waste and 1 le.(2) Waste Disposal Facility in accordance with conditions set forth herein. This facility currently consists of four separate operable units: a Low-Activity Radioactive Waste (LARW) cell, an 1 le.(2) cell, a Mixed Waste cell, a and a Class A West cell, which are located at approximately latitude 40° 41' 18" North, longitude 113° 06' 54" West. This modified Ground Water Quality Discharge Permit amends and supersedes all other Ground Water Quality Discharge permits for this facility issued previously. This modified permit shall become effective on October 15, 2024. This permit and the authorization to operate expired at midnight, October 9, 2019. However, this permit is under timely renewal and therefore operates under an extension granted until the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control completes the review of the Permittee's renewal application submitted on December 7, 2012 via DRC-2012-002445.
