Utah Admin. Code R313-25-8 - Specific Technical Information
The application shall include certain technical information. The following information is needed to determine whether or not the applicant or licensee can meet the performance objectives and the applicable technical requirements of Rule R313-25:
(1) A
description of the natural and demographic disposal site characteristics shall
be based on and determined by disposal site selection and characterization
activities. The description shall include geologic, geochemical, geotechnical,
hydrologic, ecologic, archaeologic, meteorologic, climatologic, and biotic
features of the disposal site and vicinity.
(2) Descriptions of the design features of
the land disposal facility and of the disposal units for near-surface disposal
shall include those design features related to infiltration of water; integrity
of covers for disposal units; structural stability of backfill, wastes, and
covers; contact of wastes with standing water; disposal site drainage; disposal
site closure and stabilization; elimination to the extent practicable of
long-term disposal site maintenance; inadvertent intrusion; occupational
exposures; disposal site monitoring; and adequacy of the size of the buffer
zone for monitoring and potential mitigative measures.
(3) Descriptions of the principal design
criteria and their relationship to the performance objectives.
(4) Descriptions of the natural events or
phenomena on which the design is based and their relationship to the principal
design criteria.
(5) Descriptions
of codes and standards which the applicant has applied to the design, and will
apply to construction of the land disposal facilities.
(6) Descriptions of the construction and
operation of the land disposal facility. The description shall include as a
minimum the methods of construction of disposal units; waste emplacement; the
procedures for and areas of waste segregation; types of intruder barriers;
onsite traffic and drainage systems; survey control program; methods and areas
of waste storage; and methods to control surface water and ground water access
to the wastes. The description shall also include a description of the methods
to be employed in the handling and disposal of wastes containing chelating
agents or other non-radiological substances which might affect meeting the
performance objectives of Rule R313-25
(7) A description of the disposal site
closure plan, including those design features which are intended to facilitate
disposal site closures and to eliminate the need for active maintenance after
closure.
(8) Identification of the
known natural resources at the disposal site whose exploitation could result in
inadvertent intrusion into the wastes after removal of active institutional
control.
(9) Descriptions of the
kind, amount, classification and specifications of the radioactive material
proposed to be received, possessed, and disposed of at the land disposal
facility.
(10) Descriptions of
quality assurance programs, tailored to low-level waste disposal, including
audit and managerial controls, for the determination of natural disposal site
characteristics and for quality control during the design, construction,
operation, and closure of the land disposal facility and the receipt, handling,
and emplacement of waste.
(11) A
description of the radiation safety program for control and monitoring of
radioactive effluents to ensure compliance with the performance objective in
Section
R313-25-20
and monitoring of occupational radiation exposure to ensure compliance with the
requirements of Rule R313-15 and to control contamination of personnel,
vehicles, equipment, buildings, and the disposal site. The applicant shall
describe procedures, instrumentation, facilities, and equipment appropriate to
both routine and emergency operations.
(12) A description of the environmental
monitoring program to provide data and to evaluate potential health and
environmental impacts and the plan for taking corrective measures if migration
is indicated.
(13) Descriptions of
the administrative procedures that the applicant will apply to control
activities at the land disposal facility.
(14) A description of the facility electronic
recordkeeping system as required in Section
R313-25-33.
