NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 70-7005; NRC-2009-0283]
Issuance of Environmental Assessment and Final Finding of No
Significant Impact for Modification of Exemption From Certain NRC
Licensing Requirements for Special Nuclear Material for Waste Control
Specialists, LLC, Andrews County, TX
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Environmental Assessment and Final Finding of No Significant
Impact.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has prepared an
Environmental Assessment for the issuance of an Order under Section
274(f) of the Atomic Energy Act that would modify an Order issued to
Waste Control Specialists, LLC (WCS) on November 5, 2004. In accordance
with 10 CFR 51.33, the NRC prepared a draft Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) for public review and comment that was issued on July 9,
2009 (74 FR 34983). The public comment period closed on August 10,
2009. NRC received comments from one resident of Texas. The current
action is in response to a request by WCS dated December 10, 2007. The
November 5, 2004 Order was published in the Federal Register on
November 12, 2004 (69 FR 65468). The November 5, 2004 Order, which
modified an initial Order issued to WCS on November 21, 2001, exempted
WCS from certain NRC regulations and permitted WCS, under specified
conditions, to possess waste containing special nuclear material (SNM),
in greater quantities than specified in 10 CFR Part 150, at WCS's
facility located in Andrews County, Texas, without obtaining an NRC
license pursuant to 10 CFR part 70.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Environmental Assessment
Background
As stated above, the 2004 Order exempted WCS from certain NRC
regulations and permitted WCS, under specified conditions, to possess
waste containing SNM, in greater quantities than specified in 10 CFR
Part 150, at WCS's facility located in Andrews County, Texas, without
obtaining a NRC license pursuant to 10 CFR part 70. The 2004 Order
permits WCS to possess SNM without regard for mass. Rather than relying
on mass to ensure criticality safety, concentration-based limits were
applied, such that accumulations of SNM at or below these concentration
limits would not pose a criticality safety concern. The methodology
used to establish these limits is discussed in two Safety
[[Page 52982]]
Evaluation Reports (SERs) prepared by NRC in support of the initial
Order issued in November 2001 and an amended Order issued in November
2004.
In its December 2007 request, WCS seeks NRC approval to modify the
conditions of the 2004 Order to: Discontinue confirmation sampling upon
receipt of waste that WCS verifies is adequately characterized by a
waste generator to be uniform and which contains less than one-
thousandth of the SNM concentration limits presented in Condition 1;
and to meet the confirmatory sampling requirements of Condition 7 of
the Order for sealed sources using surface smear surveys. By letter
dated January 22, 2008, the NRC informed WCS that it would also clarify
Condition 2, which states that waste must not contain ``pure forms'' of
chemicals containing carbon, fluorine, magnesium, or bismuth in bulk
quantities. As a result of its review of WCS' December 10, 2007
request, the NRC, upon its own initiative, is clarifying the
requirements for spatial uniformity of SNM concentrations in the waste,
as described in Conditions 1, 6, and 7 of the Order. In addition, NRC
is revising Condition 4 of the Order, which limits the amount of highly
water soluble SNM WCS may possess.
Site and Facility Description
WCS operates a 5.4 km\2\ (1,338-acre) hazardous waste disposal
facility and a hazardous waste, low-level radioactive waste (LLW), and
mixed waste (MW) processing and storage facility in western Andrews
County, TX and eastern Lea County, NM. The WCS facility is located near
the southwestern edge of the Southern High Plains where surface
elevations range from about 1,040 to 1,070 meters (3,415 to 3,500 ft)
above mean sea level. The site lies on a broad topographic ridge that
forms a surface water drainage divide between the Pecos and Colorado
Rivers. The region receives approximately 23 cm (9 inches) of rain
annually and is atop a solid base of Triassic red bed clay (Hydraulic
Conductivity: 10-\8\ cm/s, [3 x 10-\5\ ft/day])
with the first regional groundwater, which is not potable and too salty
for irrigation use, found 180-210 m (600-700 ft) below the surface.
The primary land use within an eight-kilometer (five-mile) radius
of the WCS facility is grazing and ranching. Future water uses in the
area will include industrial, domestic, livestock, and agricultural
purposes. Oil and gas exploration and production activities have also
been conducted in the vicinity of the WCS facility. Other businesses in
proximity to the site include the Wallach Quarry (crushed stone, sand
and gravel) and Sundance, Inc. (oil recovery and solids disposal), both
located about 1.6 kilometers (one mile) west of the facility. The Lea
County Landfill is located approximately 1.6 kilometers (one mile)
southwest of the facility. In addition, construction of the Louisiana
Enrichment Services (LES) uranium enrichment facility is currently
underway in Lea County, NM and is located approximately 1.6 kilometers
(one mile) west of the WCS facility. Major structures at the WCS
facility include:
On-site rail spur and rail-unloading facility for
hazardous waste only;
Maintenance Building;
Administration building with analytical and radiological
laboratories;
Container Storage Building;
Stabilization and Mixed Waste Treatment (Combined)
Building;
Bulk/Bin Storage Units;
RCRA subtitle C landfill;
Ten-acre storage area for low-specific-activity (LSA)
waste;
11e(2) byproduct material landfill Facility (Authorized
May 2008--under construction);
Federal LLW/MW landfill Facility (license issuance
pending);
Texas Compact LLW landfill Facility (license issuance
pending); and
Chemical oxidation (Proposed).
Licenses and Permits Issued Under Various Federal and State Laws
On January 14, 2009, WCS received a licensing order that denied
hearing requests, and allowed a license for disposal of Low Level Waste
(LLW) to be issued once ownership in fee can be demonstrated by the
applicant. The LLW disposal license may not be issued, signed, or
granted until surface and mineral ownership can be demonstrated. WCS
has proposed two separate LLW disposal facilities:
1. The compact waste disposal facility (CWF) would be allowed to
accept LLW as defined in Section 401.004 of the Texas Health and Safety
Code for commercial disposal of compact waste; and
2. The Federal Waste Facility (FWF) would be allowed to accept LLW
that is the responsibility of the federal government under the Low-
Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act, as amended by the Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985.
The LLW land disposal facilities have the following limits in the
pending license:
736,238 m\3\ (962,963 yd\3\) of LLW and MW generated/owned
by the Federal government of which approximately 229,366 m\3\ (300,000
yd\3\) is expected to be canister disposal and 506,872 m\3\ (662,963
yd\3\) is expected to be non-canister (bulk) disposal; and
65,412 m\3\ (85,556 yd\3\) of LLW generated within the
Texas Compact. Other WCS permits and authorizations are summarized
below:

Waste shipments are received in a variety of sealed packages such
as standard 208-liter (55-gallon) steel drums, rectangular steel boxes,
intermodal, roll-offs, waste generator-designed canisters, or from a
list of 400 radioactive material packages certified by the DOE for
transport by road only. The facility is accessible by rail or nearby
interstate highway. It can accommodate over 110 rail cars within its
secured and guarded fence perimeter. It has a ten-kilometer
(approximately six-mile) private rail spur leading to the site and on-
site rail and truck off-loading capabilities. Although rail facilities
are available on-site, radioactive waste is currently not authorized to
be received at the site by rail.
Review Scope
The purpose of this EA is to assess the environmental impacts of
WCS's December 10, 2007, request to modify its 2004 Order and
additional actions taken by NRC staff to:
(1) Clarify Condition 2 of the November 2004 Order;
(2) Clarify the requirements for spatial uniformity of the waste;
and
(3) Revise Condition 4 of the 2004 Order, which limits the amount
of highly water soluble SNM WCS may possess.
This EA does not approve nor deny the requested action. A separate
SER has been prepared in support of approval of the requested action.
The 2004 Order is only applicable to activities authorized by TCEQ
License R04971 for processing and storage of LLW.
Proposed Action
The proposed action is to grant WCS's December 10, 2007, request to
modify the conditions of the 2004 Order, with certain additional
modifications. As modified by NRC staff, the proposed action is to
discontinue confirmation sampling upon receipt of waste that WCS
verifies is adequately characterized by a waste generator to be uniform
and which contains less than one-tenth of the SNM concentration limits
presented in Condition 1, and to discontinue the confirmatory sampling
requirements of Condition 7 of the 2004 Order for sealed sources. By
letter dated January 22, 2008, the NRC informed WCS that it would also
clarify Condition 2, which states that waste must not contain ``pure
forms'' of chemicals containing carbon, fluorine, magnesium, or bismuth
in bulk quantities. The NRC is also clarifying the requirements for
spatial uniformity of SNM concentrations in the waste, as described in
Conditions 1, 6, and 7 of the 2004 Order, and revising Condition 4 of
the 2004 Order, that limits the amount of highly water soluble SNM WCS
may possess pursuant to TCEQ License R04971 for processing and storage
of LLW.
Purpose and Need for Proposed Action
WCS is making this request as a result of two issues it has
identified with the implementation of the 2004 Order. The first issue
pertains to the potential for WCS workers to receive radiation dose
without commensurate benefit to overall public and worker safety. This
issue arises when certain high dose rate and debris waste is received
by WCS and WCS workers, in accordance with the requirements of the 2004
Order, are in close proximity to, or in contact with, the waste for the
purpose of taking confirmatory samples to measure SNM concentrations in
the waste, even when the SNM concentration in these wastes are known by
other means to be very low.
The second issue identified by WCS also pertains to how the
confirmatory sampling requirements of the Order should be applied to
sealed sources. WCS states that direct confirmatory sampling is not
practical, and recommends that it perform surface smear surveys in lieu
of destructive direct sampling.
In its December 10, 2007 request, WCS also informed the NRC that it
plans to accept bulk quantities of waste containing very low
concentrations of SNM that have been homogeneously commingled by the
generator with inert compounds so that the final waste no longer
contains just SNM or ``pure forms'' of carbon, fluorine, magnesium, and
bismuth. Condition 2 of the November 2004 Order prohibits receipt of
``pure forms'' of these chemicals. In its review of this information,
the NRC determined that Condition 2 of the November 2004 Order should
be more clearly stated. As noted in a letter to WCS dated January 22,
2008, the NRC stated that it finds no criticality safety concerns with
the waste that WCS plans to accept, provided the waste is less than 40
percent magnesium fluoride by volume and less then 50 percent magnesium
fluoride by weight. In its January 22, 2008 letter, the NRC also stated
that it plans to clarify the meaning of Condition 2 in this
modification to the 2004 Order.
During review of the proposed changes requested by WCS, the NRC
staff also decided to clarify the requirements for spatial uniformity
of SNM concentrations in waste received by WCS contained within
Conditions 1, 6, and 7 of the 2004 Order. The spatial uniformity
requirement in Condition 1 states that, ``The SNM must be homogeneously
distributed throughout the waste. If the SNM is not homogeneously
distributed, then the limiting concentrations must not be exceeded on
average in any contiguous mass of 600 kilograms.'' This requirement is
based on an NRC nuclear criticality safety evaluation described in the
SER for the November 2001 Order. However, there is a second requirement
in Conditions 6 and 7 of the 2004 Order, that prescribe a statistical
test for spatial uniformity that would be performed on sample results.
The statistical test states that waste is non-homogeneous when the
maximum sample result, that cannot exceed the limits in Condition 1,
and minimum testing values performed by the generator, is greater than
five times the average value. The definition of spatial uniformity in
Condition 1 has a technical basis founded on principles of
[[Page 52984]]
nuclear criticality safety. The requirement in Condition 6 and 7 does
not. Therefore, the NRC is removing the second requirement contained in
Conditions 6 and 7 and making conforming changes to the remainder of
the Order.
The NRC is also revising Condition 4 of the 2004 Order, as
described in a separate Safety Evaluation Report, to:
(1) Eliminate the individual package mass limits for highly water
soluble SNM, because 10 CFR part 71 and 49 CFR provide sufficient
regulation of packaging and transportation of fissile materials, from
which this Order does not exempt WCS; and
(2) Impose a limit on the total mass of highly water soluble SNM
that may be possessed pursuant to this Order to amounts less than those
of SNM of low strategic significance, as defined in 10 CFR 73.2.
Therefore, the purpose and need for the proposed action is four-
fold:
(1) To revise and clarify certain requirements of the November 2004
Order to address potential worker safety concerns associated with the
implementation of waste generator and WCS confirmatory sampling
requirements;
(2) To clarify the prohibition on the presence of certain chemicals
contained in the waste, as stated in Condition 2 of the 2004 Order;
(3) To clarify the requirements in the 2004 Order for spatial
uniformity of SNM concentrations in waste; and
(4) To revise Condition 4, which pertains to limits on highly water
soluble forms of SNM.
Alternatives
In addition to the proposed action, the NRC considered one
alternative. The alternative action was to deny WCS' request and thus
not revise the Order (i.e., the no-action alternative).
Environmental Impacts of No Action Alternative:
For the no-action alternative, the environmental impacts would be
the same as those evaluated in the EA that supports the 2004 Order. The
2004 EA concluded that the 2004 Order would have no significant
radiological or non-radiological environmental impacts. However, as
noted above, the current confirmatory sampling requirement for high
dose and debris waste may result in doses to workers without a
commensurate benefit to overall nuclear safety.
Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action
With regard to the confirmatory sampling requirements of the
November 2004 Order, and as described further in the SER for the
current modification to the Order, the NRC believes that when SNM
concentrations in waste are expected to be below 10% of the limits in
Condition 1, as determined by a waste generator in support of the
written certification required by Condition 6, the radiation hazard to
workers involved in both generator sampling and WCS confirmatory waste
sampling activities will, in many cases, outweigh the benefit to
criticality safety. As a result, the NRC, in consultation with WCS and
the TCEQ, will remove the graded-approach to sampling requirements from
the Order, in favor of a simpler threshold for sampling requirements,
which applies to both the generator and WCS, at 10% of the Condition 1
limits.
No detrimental environmental impacts are expected as a result of
modifying the waste generator and confirmatory sampling requirements of
the Order. Sampling requirements do not alter in any way the types,
amounts, or characteristics of wastes received at the facility. As a
result, there would be no substantive changes in the handling, storage,
or treatment of wastes at the facility. The change in sampling
requirements is not expected to significantly alter the need for labor
resources at WCS. However, as further described in the SER for this
modified Order, there is a benefit to overall worker radiological
safety as a result of reducing generator and WCS confirmatory sampling
requirements for high dose rate and debris waste containing low
concentrations of SNM, and not requiring destructive direct sampling of
sealed sources.
No detrimental environmental impacts are expected as a result of
clarifying Condition 2 of the Order. As described further in the SER,
Condition 2 is modified such that specific mass limits for carbon,
fluorine and bismuth in the waste are provided in lieu of a vague
general prohibition on ``pure forms'' of magnesium, carbon, fluorine
and bismuth. This clarification is not expected to significantly alter
the types, amounts, or characteristics of wastes received at the
facility. In addition, worker radiation doses are not expected to
change as a result of a change in specific mass limits for carbon,
fluorine and bismuth. As a result, there would be little or no
substantive changes in the handling, storage, or treatment of wastes at
the facility.
No detrimental environmental impacts are expected as a result of
clarifying the requirements for spatial uniformity of SNM
concentrations in wastes received at WCS. No changes are made to either
the Condition 1 SNM concentration limits, or the maximum contiguous
mass of waste over which the limiting concentrations of Condition 1
must be met (i.e., 600 kilograms). Therefore, these modifications to
the 2004 Order do not alter in any way the types, amounts, or
characteristics of wastes received at the facility, and worker doses
would remain unchanged. As a result, there would be no substantive
changes in the handling, storage, or treatment of wastes at the
facility.
No detrimental environmental impacts are expected as a result of
revising the requirements for highly water soluble forms of SNM in
wastes received at WCS. There is a reduction of the risk of container
leaks involving highly water soluble forms of SNM, given that the Order
now limits the total possession of highly water soluble forms of SNM to
amounts of SNM less than SNM of low strategic significance, as defined
by 10 CFR 73.2. As a result, there would be no substantive changes in
the handling, storage, or treatment of wastes at the facility, and no
significant changes in radiation hazards to workers.
Other conditions of the Order would remain unchanged. As before,
WCS is permitted to possess SNM without regard for mass, except that
possession of highly water soluble forms of SNM is limited to amounts
of SNM less than SNM of low strategic significance, as defined by 10
CFR 73.2. To ensure criticality safety, an SNM concentration limit is
applied to wastes containing both soluble and insoluble forms, such
that accumulations of SNM at or below this concentration limit would
not pose a criticality safety concern.
Effluent releases and potential doses to the public are regulated
by the State of Texas and are not anticipated to change as a result of
this action. WCS will continue to conduct its radiation protection
program with an emphasis on maintaining doses as low as reasonably
achievable. Occupational exposure is expected to remain within
regulatory limits, and may decrease as a result of eliminating sampling
intervals for high dose rate and debris waste.
The proposed action would not result in any changes in the
transportation impacts identified in the 2001 EA. All other
environmental impacts would be the same as evaluated in the EAs that
support the 2001 and 2004 Orders.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
A draft copy of this EA was provided to officials from the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). By e-mails dated March 11
and April 14, 2009, the TCEQ recommended certain
[[Page 52985]]
changes to clarify the descriptions of certain WCS facilities, to
identify the correct State agencies having authority in certain areas,
and to clarify the status of the pending LLW disposal facility license.
The NRC staff has modified the EA to address the TCEQ comments.
The proposed action does not involve the development of additional
land. Hence, the NRC has determined that the proposed action will not
affect listed species or critical habitat. Therefore, no further
consultation is required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
Likewise, the NRC staff has determined that the proposed action does
not have the potential to adversely affect cultural resources.
Therefore, no consultation is required under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act.
Public Comments
During a 30-day public comment period that ended August 10, 2009,
NRC received comments from Ms. Laray Polk, a resident of Texas (ADAMS
Accession Number ML092240577). Ms. Polk expressed concerns that the WCS
site is ``unsuitable for disposal of uranium byproduct and low-level
waste.'' Though she acknowledges one purpose for amending the Order was
to reduce worker radiation doses, Ms. Polk expressed concerns regarding
adequate protection of groundwater resources, stating that the
``overall proposal to permanently dispose of the SNM and LLRW at WCS is
of a greater determent [sic] to a larger population.'' Specifically,
she also expresses concerns that a complex system of aquifers underlies
the WCS site, which she describes as a system of ``contiguous
hydrologically connected units.'' Ms. Polk further states that the
hydrogeology of the site is ``sufficiently complex as to halt disposal
of these materials until the mapping incongruities can be resolved by
way of an unbiased team of hydrologists and geologists.''
As noted in the section of the EA titled ``Review Scope,'' the
amended Order applies only to activities authorized by TCEQ License
R04971 for processing and storage of LLW. The Order does not apply to
disposal of LLW. Therefore, since processing and storage of LLW occurs
above ground in facilities for which liquid and air effluent controls
are required, the staff does not believe that amendments to the Order
considered in this EA will have significant adverse affects on
groundwater quality at the WCS site.
II. Draft Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC has concluded that the proposed action to grant a
modification to WCS' exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR part 70
is, pursuant to 10 CFR 70.17, authorized by law and will not endanger
life or property or the common defense and security and is otherwise in
the public interest.
The NRC has prepared this EA in support of the proposed action to
modify WCS' November 2004 Order, which grants an exemption from the
requirements of 10 CFR Part 70. On the basis of this EA, NRC has
concluded that there are no significant environmental impacts and the
issuance of a modified Order does not warrant the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement. Accordingly, it has been determined
that a Finding of No Significant Impact is appropriate.
