MEMORANDUM TO:	William D. Travers Executive Director for Operations
FROM:	Annette Vietti-Cook, Secretary /RA/
SUBJECT:	STAFF REQUIREMENTS - SECY-01-0088 - DEFERRAL OF REGULATORY OVERSIGHT OF AREA 10 (THE SANDPILE) OF THE LAKE CITY ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT TO THE U.S. EPA, AND REQUEST TO REMOVE SITE FROM SITE DECOMMISSIONING MANAGEMENT PLAN LIST WHEN REMAINING REMEDIATIONS UNDER NRC'S OVERSIGHT ARE COMPLETED

The Commission has approved the staff's recommendation to defer remediation oversight of the depleted uranium contamination located in Area 10 of the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ). The Commission also has approved the staff's recommendation to remove the LCAAP from the Site Decommissioning Management Plan (SDMP) once remediation efforts have been completed for Building 3A and the 600-yard Bullet Catcher, with the understanding that the LCAAP license will not be considered for termination until Area 10 remediation has also been completed, which may not take place until 2008.

Upon final coordination with the parties involved regarding such deferral, the staff should provide written notification to each party documenting the agreed upon terms and conditions. The NRC should retain responsibility to review the EPA's determination that Area 10 remediation has been completed to ensure that the remediation complies with the SDMP cleanup limits.
