calculated using the procedures in Sec. 61.23.
    (4) A list of the stacks or vents or other points where radioactive 
materials are released to the atmosphere, including their location, 
diameter, flow rate, effluent temperature and release height.
    (5) A description of the effluent controls that are used on each 
stack, vent, or other release point and the effluent controls used 
inside the mine, and an estimate of the efficiency of each control 
method or device.
    (6) Distances from the points of release to the nearest residence, 
school, business or office and the nearest farms producing vegetables, 
milk, and meat.

monthly reports are no longer necessary. In addition to all the 
information required in paragraph (a) of this section, monthly reports 
shall also include the following information:
    (1) All controls or other changes in operation of the facility that 
will be or are being installed to bring the facility into compliance.
    (2) If the facility is under a judicial or administrative 
enforcement decree the report will describe the facilities performance
