Report of Transition Committee

The Transition Committee, composed of Richard A. Watson, Chair, Warren A.

Bishop, Representative Dick Nelson, Senator Max Benitz, and Nancy Kirner

reported to the Board recommendations regarding the delegation of division

of responsibilities between the Board and the Department of Ecology.

Mr. Watson called upon Rick Olson, Office staff member, to explain the

Proposed Memorandum of Understanding, the Role of the Board, the Bylaws,

and proposed rule "Public Records" developed by the Transition Committee.

During the ensuing discussion Don Moos requested that a draft "Role of

the Radioactive Waste Advisory Council" be prepared.

Mr. Lewis supported Dr. Beare's request for a document defining the role

of the Board and the Department concerning low-level radioactive waste.
Memorandum of Understanding

Nick Lewis moved that the "Memorandum of Understanding"

proposed document, subject to public review and comment

tion at the next regular meeting scheduled for May 18,

following amendments:

be adopted as a

and final adop1984, with the

1. On page 2, before 2 (B) insert

"Provide information and prepare analyses and recommendations

for the Board to enable the Board to carry out its responsibilities to"

2. On page 6, section 9, line 1, after "for the" insert

"approval of the"

3. On page 7, section 10, line 1, after "for the" insert

"approval of the"

4. On page 7, section 12, line 1, strike "oversee."

Representative Nelson suggested, and Mr. Lewis moved, that the MOU be

amended on page 1, second paragraph, by striking "general" on lines 6 and

7 and striking "such reasonable" and "requirements requested by" on line

8 and inserting "to." Motion carried.

Dr. Beare moved to strike "Consultation and Cooperation" from line 4, in

section 3(A) on page 3. Motion carried.

The original motion to adopt the proposed Memorandum of Understanding as

amended subject to public review and comment and final adoption at the

next regular meeting was carried unanimously.

Dr. Beare's suggestion to insert "be" after "yet" on the fourth line in

section 13 on page 7 was accepted by consensus.

Role of Board

Don Moos moved to adopt the Role of the Board as a proposed document,

subject to public review and comment and final adoption at the next

regular meeting scheduled for May 18, 1984.

Discussion was held concerning the use of the term "radioactive waste" as

used in points 8 and 9 on page 5 of the Role of the Board." The question

was raised as to whether radioactive waste would be designated "high-level"

to clarify the responsibility of the Board. The consensus was to leave

this section for further study and action by the Board.

Nick Lewis moved to amend the motion by striking "Consultation and

Cooperation" on line 4, section 3(A) on page 2. Motion carried.

Main Motion, as amended, carried.

Bylaws

Don Moos moved to adopt the Bylaws.

Nick Lewis moved to amend the Bylaws, as follows:

- 2 -
1. On page 3, section 060 (1), line 6, after "unless notice of" insert

"change of time or place,"

2. On page 2, section 060 (6), last line, strike "one week" and insert

a two-thirds vote of the voting members present, provided that the

amendment has been submitted in writing at the previous meeting or

has been sent to the members of the Board by first-class mail at

least ten days prior to the meeting."

Motion carried. Motion as amended, carried.

Questions left for further drafting and discussion include:

1. Provision for the Chair to report to the Board concerning action

taken by the Chair between meetings.

2. Provision concerning opportunity for public comment prior to Board

taking action on agenda items.

3. Provision concerning the necessity for formal action or approval of

certain items listed in the Memorandum of Understanding or Role of

the Board, and/or the degree of formality of such action.

A question discussed, but no action taken, was to amend the proposed

Bylaws dealing with the position of Vice Chair.

Public Records

Nick Lewis moved the Board adopt, as an emergency rule, the proposed

"Public Records" and approved publication of notice of intent to adopt

them as permanent rules. Motion carried. Staff was instructed to

prepare and file the documents.

The Board members were instructed to initiate new letters indicating

their Designees to the Board.

Consultation and Cooperation Agreement Process

David Stevens reported that on April 12 a meeting of the state and

federal C & C negotiating team was held to reactivate negotiation and

address concerns posed by the two pieces of legislation adopted during

the past legislative session. The next meeting with the federal team is

scheduled for May 8, ESHB 1637 added ingredients, plus instructions to

bring an agreement before the Board for early approval, which will then

require at least two public hearings, before legislative review.

The Board agreed an intensive review of the C & C Agreement was needed by

the Board, and a special meeting will be called early in May. The Office

was instructed to set up a special meeting on May 7, 8, or 9, with advice

to the Board members. Mr. Stevens said the meeting with the Federal team

- 3 -
could be slipped to a date following the Board meeting. (Subsequently,

the meeting was scheduled for May 9, 1984)

Well-Logging Proposal

Dr. Brewer asked the Board's approval to request Federal funds to proceed

with the well-logging project with the Civil & Environmental Engineering

Department - Washington State University, as outlined at the last Board

meeting and in his memo to the Board of April 11, 1984. He reiterated

timing was important as the project should begin within a few weeks to

coordinate with the irrigation season.

In response to questions, Dr. Brewer explained no new funds would need to

be requested from USDOE. Reprogrammed funds would be used from the FY 84

grant, which would be available because of the slippage in the Federal

BWIP program. Further discussion questioned the need for the state to

gather this information rather than request the USDOE to obtain it. It

was pointed out there was a need for independent sources for the state's

ability to review the activity of BWIP and interpretation outside USDOE

was in the best interest of the state.

Don Provost moved to give staff permission to present this proposal to

USDOE and initiate negotiations, with a report back to the Board.

Dave Squires of USDOE remarked that USDOE has a regional program in

place, but are not doing any work to the east, but were mostly concentrating in the west and south. He said extensive well logging was done

by Washington State University in the area, but they were looking at only

shallow holes.

The motion was called for and the motion carried. Representative Nelson

asked to go on record as opposing the project.

Consultant Proposal

Don Provost reported the Evaluation Team, composed of members of the

Department of Ecology, a representative from the Council, and one from

the Board, selected four final participants from the proposals submitted

and rated them in three areas: geotechnical engineering, public information, and policy development. At their meeting on April 19, the team

decided to seek the advice of the Board on some identified issues although

the evaluation team felt any one of the four could do the job.

Because the firms have had experience and have conducted work for USDOE or

contractors to the USDOE with varying degrees of participation in the

nuclear field, the team felt the Board should have a complete understanding, perhaps in executive session, before a contractor was selected.

Since there is a time factor involved, the decision was made to ask the

Evaluation Team to supply the Board with a written criteria summary and

recommendation for consideration at the Special Meeting of the Board to

be set up the second week of May.

Actions to Protect State Interest

A written memorandum outlining litigation possibilities under the NWPA

was presented to the Board by Charles Roe and Charles Lean, Assistant

Attorneys General.

Westinghouse Presentation

As a matter of interest to the Board, Nick Lewis announced he had been

approached by the Westinghouse Corporation, which has developed a series

of energy briefings on nuclear energy and nuclear waste. They have presented these briefings across the nation and the EFSEC Executive Board

reviewed the presentation with good reactions. Mr. Lewis suggested the

presentation might be a good agenda item for the Nuclear Waste Board as

it represents some of the concerns of industry. There would be no fee,

and the presentation would take about l1⁄2 to 2 hours. He recommended it

be scheduled by the Board within the next two to four months.

A motion was made and seconded that Mr. Lewis arrange for the Westinghouse

presentation subject to the schedule constraints of the Board within the

next three or four months. Motion carried.

The suggestion was made to invite the members of the Advisory Council to

the presentation.

Compensation Alternatives

Charles B. Roe, Senior Assistant Attorney General, discussed the possibility of compensation for liaison activities and expanded duties and

responsibilities resulting from legislation enacted this year which

created the Nuclear Waste Board. His memo of April 19, 1984, to

Donald W. Moos and Richard Watson documented his statement that language

in the legislation would allow the Department of Ecology to employ or

contract with a person holding the position of Board Chairman to provide

services to the Board.

Don Provost moved the staff and the Attorney General prepare a draft

personal services contract to address the issue of compensation for Board

liaison activities, and have a request document prepared from the Board

to the Department of Ecology to carry out certain functions as embodied

in that personal services contract; these documents to be returned to the

Board for final action. Motion carried.

Office Organization

David Stevens introduced Gary Rothwell of the Office who briefly explained

the Office organization. The 1983 grant authorized eleven positions.

Gary traced the progression of the office positions from the original

1983 grant to the present and charted the proposed organizational

structure.

- 5 -
Of the eleven original positions eight are presently being serviced by

permanent, temporary, and loaned personnel. These are: Program Director,

Technical Director, Administrative Supervisor, Administrative Assistant,

Public Information Officer, Secretary, Reference Librarian, and Program

and Policy Coordinator.

The three positions which will be needed soon are: Hydraulic Engineer,

Policy Analyst, and Word Processing Operator. Following these additions,

projections show eight additional technical and clerical positions may be

needed, depending on the actions of the USDOE.

Steps to implement the 1984 plan require presentation to the Board for

information and reaction, OFM and Department of Personnel approval, and

USDOE approval. The 1985 grant will be renegotiated for October 1, 1984

and the organization will be revisited.

Other Business

Representative Nelson reported that the Radioactive Waste Subcommittee he

chairs is looking at several pieces of legislation concerning strengthening the liability, transportation issue, and a solution to the waste

problems connected with future construction. He advised he would keep

the Board informed on the progress of this legislation.

Charles Roe reported on the two-day meeting on the high-level radioactive

waste disposal issue of the National Association of Attorneys General

held on April 5-6, 1984. All of the six major states involved plus nine

others attended the meeting, which basically studied what determination

could be worked out in terms of possible litigation strategies. Another

meeting will probably be set in late July or early August at the invitation of the Attorney General of Mississippi, to be held in Mississippi.

He said he would keep the Board informed and as ad hoc chairman invited

any interested Board member to attend.

It was moved and seconded the meeting be adjourned.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m.

Mayor Fred Jarrett

Gordon Kunz

Anita Monoian

Jim Worthington

Brian Baird

The meeting was called to order by Acting Chair, Warren Bishop.

Mr. Bishop paid tribute to Susan E. Gould who had chaired the Council and

the Board since their inception. He praised her for her dedication and

outstanding leadership. He also said she would still be available for

consultation should the Council need her.

The minutes were approved as submitted.

Consultant Proposal Progress

David Stevens introduced Don Provost who reported on the progress of the

final selection of the consultant. He said the last meeting of the consultant team, composed of Nancy Kirner, Ed McGuire, Marta Wilder, Warren

Bishop, Don Provost, and Jim Dannenmiller, was held on April 19. Four

participants were selected from the proposal submitted and rated in three

areas: geotechnical engineering, public information, and policy development. He continued all four finalists would be capable of doing the job.

They had all done work in the Hanford area, but none in the policy area.

He said the Board would be presented with the rating information during

the afternoon meeting and their input and advice would be sought. He

indicated that the major issue for the rest of this fiscal year would be

to work with the Council on developing and implementing public information program. He said once the contractor is chosen, the staff would

work with the contractor on a draft program to be brought before the

Council.

Senate Subcommittee on Radioactive Waste Hearing

Donald Provost was asked to give a summary of the Senate Energy and

Utilities Subcommittee on Radioactive Waste hearing held the evening of

April 19 in Seattle. He reported Senators Hurley, Chair, Benitz,

Williams, and Goltz were present, as well as Representatives Long and

Issacson. Mr. Provost gave the Subcommittee a brief review of Nuclear

Waste Board activities. This was followed by testimony. Those testifying included:
Walbridge J. Powell, engineering geologist from Mercer Island

Eileen Buller, Hanford Oversight Committee

Joie Reichlin, Church Council of Greater Seattle

Ted Dzielak, Greenpeace

Norman Buske, Search Technical Services

Sue Krala, WashPIRG

Gerald Pollet, WashPIRG

Mr Provost said Eileen Buller's testimony cited specific increased health

problems occurring in Eastern Washington, and there was concern about

additional problems should a repository be sited at Hanford. Mr. Provost

thought DSHS might want to look at a copy of her testimony which he planned to secure.

Sue Krala of WashPIRG testified on conflict resolution issues in the C & C

document. Mr. Provost said her recommendations would be considered by

the C & C negotiating team.

Representative Ray Isaacson offered an invitation to the Committee to

visit Richland to observe the latest data.

In response to questioning, Mr. Provost explained the Joint Committee on

Science and Technology is a balanced team composed of equal members of

the House and Senate. They are looking for permanent staff to assist the

legislators on the Board. Mr. Stevens added that each body of the Legislature has its own Energy and Utilities Committee, with subcommittees in

each dealing with radioactive waste. The U.S. Department of Energy grant

goes through WDOE directly to the Joint Science and Technology Committee.

Mr. Stevens reported that on Tuesday there was a House Subcommittee on

Radioactive Waste meeting, which reviewed the following issues: Highlevel nuclear waste program status as a result of passage of state

legislation; a briefing by staff attorneys on the C & C Agreement in the

area of transportation; and the question of liability. The last part of

the meeting was devoted to a report by Lee Olson of the U.S. Department

of Energy who traced the development of the BWIP program from its beginning.

Discussion followed on the BWIP program, and the Council requested

Mr. Olson be scheduled for a joint Board and Council meeting to present

an updated overview of the program.

C & C Process

David Stevens reminded the Council that in December a Draft C & C Agreement was released for public and legislative review. It was intensely

scrutinized by the Legislature. The Legislature passed a Concurrent

Resolution giving the Office instructions to ensure that several critical

issues were addressed. Also, ESHB 1637 added ingredients, plus instructions to bring an agreement before the Board for early approval, which

would then require at least two public hearings before legislative

review.

- 2 -
ESHE 1637 also gave the Board the primary responsibility for carrying out

negotiations of this kind. The Board then instructed the existing negotiating team to continue its efforts and bring back a draft it felt would

protect the state's interests.

ESHB 1637 also added additional ingredients: examination of any rights

the state may be waiving, the need to look at remedies in case of breach

of agreement, and continuing to look at the whole area of conflict resolution without giving up our opportunity to go to court.

The question arose as to the dollar amount designated in ESHB 1637 for

socio-economic impacts, and Mr. Stevens replied this was perhaps the most

difficult area to address as no baseline has yet been established. To

establish a dollar amount at this stage of the negotiations without having

all the data needed could be construed at a later time as being the maximum amount available. This could pose a significant problem for the

state.

The Legislature also wants to see if any additional rights and privileges

could be included for the state which are not inconsistent with the

federal law. Mr. Stevens felt that although the issues are not resolved

he believed the negotiations on identified issues are on grounds that

will protect the state. In response to a question about the amounts of

money being given to other states by the USDOE, Mr. Stevens thought Washington might be getting somewhat more. None of the other states have

initiated the C & C process and he said he could ask for an update on

grants for the other states. e Each has its individual requirements and

different attitudes about accepting federal money.

Mr. Stevens concluded by mentioning that the Legislature was originally

troubled about the need for a C & C Agreement. Some felt it was putting

the state into the position of positive attitude concerning the siting of

a repository, while other felt it was necessary to get the federal government on record with a written commitment. He said he felt the Legislature has now reached consensus that the C & C agreement is appropriate and

necessary, and they do want to be involved in the review process. The

next negotiation meeting is set for May 17. When the final draft is

brought to the Board, the Council will also be asked for its input. When

the agreement is approved, it would then be subject to Board, public, and

legislative review.

Film: "Nuclear Waste Isolation: A Progress Report

Mr. Stevens said the film to be shown was made by the U.S. Department of

Energy about two or three years ago. It was neither commissioned nor

recommended by the Office, but it does show some of the aspects of the

waste program, and is an illustration of what could be used in developing

our future public information activities.

U.S. Department of Energy BWIP Presentations

Dave Squires of USDOE commented on the plans for USDOE public meetings

and discussions of BWIP activities at Hanford. Their current schedule

calls for a public information meeting in Richland on May 16. They would

- 3 -
like to make this same presentation to the Advisory Council on May 18 at

the regular meeting. Future meetings would be held in Seattle, Pendleton, and Yakima, with five additional meetings in the state later.

The Council approved the scheduling of the presentation at the May 18

meeting. Mr. Bishop suggested the Board could be invited and perhaps the

contractor selected should the Board make this decision at the afternoon

meeting. The Council agreed.

Legislation Implementation

David Stevens reported the Transition Team had developed a program to

implement the legislation passed at the last session of the Legislature.

He introduced Rick Olson of the office staff who briefly discussed the

four documents prepared for presentation to the Board at the afternoon

meeting: Memorandum of Understanding, Role of the Board, Bylaws, and

Public Records. All of these documents were sent to the Council members

previously. Mr. Bishop invited the Council to attend the Board meeting

that day when the documents would be discussed in detail.

Role of the Council

The question was raised as to whether the Council's activities were diminished because passage of ESHB 1637 delegated the principal authority to

the Board. Both Mr. Stevens and Mr. Bishop said the new law would

strengthen the Council's role by putting more emphasis on their advisory

role, particularly in the public information area. The original written

structure and functions of the Advisory Council were reviewed by Mayor

Jarrett, and the staff was asked to draft an updated Role of the Council

compatible with the new law.

Mission Plan, Environmental Assessment, and Guidelines

David Stevens reported the original Mission Plan draft of USDOE was criticized and has now been substantially revised before its formal release

for public comment. The release date was April 23, but he understands

there has been further delay and it may be the end of April. Copies will

be made available when it is received. Volume I is basically the strategy document, and Volume II contains program details.

Environmental Assessments are in the process of being drafted and the

document for BWIP should be received by the state for review some time in

June. USDOE Program Guidelines are still being examined by the NRC,

although a draft concurrence order was issued in March. There are seven

major changes that need to be addressed before concurrence will finally

be granted. NRC and USDOE are trying to resolve these issues in a series

of weekly meetings. Some progress is reportedly being made, and NRC

could issue a concurrence document the latter part of May, with the

Guidelines being finalized some time in the month of June.

Staff Implementation

David Stevens introduced Gary Rothwell of the Office who briefly

explained the office organization. The 1983 grant authorized 11 positions. Gary traced the progression of office positions from the original

1983 grant to the present and charted the proposed organizational structure.

Of the 11 original positions eight are presently being serviced by permanent, temporary, and loaned personnel. These are: Program Director,

Technical Director, Administrative Supervisor, Administrative Assistant,

Public Information Office, Secretary, and Reference Librarian, and Program and Policy Coordinator.

The three positions which will be needed soon are: Hydraulic Engineer,

Policy Analyst, and Word Processing Operator. Following these additions,

projections show up to eight additional technical and clerical positions

may be needed, depending on the actions of the USDOE and others.

Steps to implement the 1984 plan require presentation to the Board for

information and reaction, OFM and Department of Personnel approval, and

USDOE approval. The 1985 grant will be renegotiated by October 1, 1984

and the organization will be revisited.

Mayor Jarrett requested a table of organization for the office when the

chart is in final form with the names of the persons occupying the positions. The office will plan to make this available to the members when

it is firm.

Reference Center

The members of the Council were provided a list of "Selected New Additions" in the Reference Center, and Jeanne Rensel requested the opinion

of the Council on this type of information. The Council agreed it was a

useful tool to have this on a regular basis, and suggested it might be

numbered in serial form.

Chairman Bishop again invited the Council members to the Board meeting

scheduled that afternoon.

The meeting was adjourned.

TESTIIONY

for

SUBCOMKITrEE ON RADIOACTIVE WASTE

Energy and Utilities Comaittee

Washington State Senate

Presented by Eileen Buller, President

i.
I am Eileen Buller, President of the Hanford Oversight Committee, a

coalition of groups and individuals concerned about the impacts of locating

a High-Level Nuclear Waste Repository at Hanford. Over the past months, we

have testified at hearings and attended meetings to hear the views and ongoing process decisions of those that ultimately hold the fate of the

citizens of Washington in their hands.

The area of concern I wish to address tonight is, "Health Effects of

a Nuclear Waste Repository at Hanford."

Historically, whenever citizens raised questions about health effects

caused by exposure to nuclear sources, there was a scramble by government

and the industry to discredit the question/questioner, or if that didn't

work, to reassure everyone that the doses of ionizing radiation were well

within established limits and not harmful.

When we consider a repository at Hanford, receiving the most lethal

of all nuclear waste which is spent fuel rods from power plants, we must

ask these questions and expect to receive accurate answers.

I will ask only four of the many health-related questions that I hope

you on this panel have asked yourselves and those wishing to promote a

Hanford repository.

1. What is causing Lincoln and Spokane Counties to rank 2nd and

3rd respectively, in world rates for Multiple Sclerosis?

2. Why have birth defects doubled in the last 25 years in the

U.S.?

3. Why has no methodical study ever been done on Hanford's

effect on the region's health?

4. The Eastern Washington Health Systems Agency in its 1982

report noted: "For the past five years, the cancer death

rate in Eastern Washington has been consistently higher

than cancer death rates in the state and nation." Page 3-17

What causes this cancer death rate?

As we contemplate the issue of health effects posed by siting addi_-

tional waste at Hanford, it would be wise to remember how the radiation

standards for the public originated. From the book, Nuclear Barons, we

read:
-2-

Expert knowledge of radiaton effects evolved slowly as

scientists came to understand and measure the different

types of radiation and arrived at standards for

industrial and public exposure. Experts did not easily

agree on what the standards should be. Because radiation

poisoning took so many different forms and also took

so long to produce effects9 there was no hard scientific

evidence of its effects at low level. The consensus

that emerged was that no level was safe. The act of

setting up a standard, like the Atomic Energy Commissionts

decision not to inform the public about the effects of

fallouts was a political judgment, not a scientific one.

Page 184.

I hope we make it a conscious part of the current decision-making process

to remember the very real threat to public health and future generations

that additional waste will pose.

When the Los Alamod Scientific Labs suggest that land be "zoned

into uranium mining and milling districts so as to forbid human habitation"

and the National Academy of Sciences suggest areas of the "arid West"

slated for strip mining be declared "National Sacrifice Areas" or a town

near Seascale in England with its nuclear reprocessing plant like the

PUREX plant at Hanford be dubbed "The Village of the Damned", then the

possibilities of catastrophic human and environmental disasters must

be apparent.

It is a stark picture indeed, to contemplate Eastern Washington with

its budding wine industry and fine farmlands being called a 'sacrifice

area" but that appears to be what we witnessing. We hope that the hard

decision to say "no" to the Federal government and nuclear industry promoters will be made and that in retrospect, it will look like the easy

decision to protect the Columbia River watershed and the citizens of

our region. s
Nuclear Waste Board Special Meeting

May 9, 1984

2614 Library Building

The Evergreen State College

Olympia, Washington

Board Members Present:

Warren A. Bishop, Chair

Ray Lasmanis, DNR Designee

Nancy Kirner, DSHS Designee

Nicholas D. Lewis

Donald W. Moos

Representative Dick Nelson

Representative Nancy Rust

Richard H. Watson

Dr. William Funk

Chair Warren Bishop called the meeting to order.

The morning was spent in a workshop session discussing and analyzing the working draft of the Consultation and Cooperation Agreement

being negotiated by the Negotiating Team between the state of

Washington and the U.S. Department of Energy.

No specific actions were taken by the Board in regard to issues

the Negotiating Team is addressing with the federal team. However,

there was high interest in monitoring the ability of the state to

carry out a comprehensive, independent review program.

The Chair recessed the meeting at 12:40 p.m. until 1:50 p.m.

In his opening remarks at the afternoon session, Mr. Bishop explained that only the business on the agenda for the special meeting

could be considered. Other issues would be taken up at the regular

meeting on May 18. He continued by saying he had accepted the Chairmanship of the Council and the Board because of his strong interest

in the program. He expressed his desire to develop a good public

information program on this complex subject. He also emphasized his

interest in developing a smoothly performing and effective Board.

Consultant Selection

Chair Warren Bishop called upon David Stevens and Donald Provost

to report on the contractor selection process. The Office established a Selection Committee composed of: Warren Bishop, Nancy

Kirner, Marta Wilder, Jim Dannenmiller, Ed McCuire, and Donald

Provost. Mr. Provost reported the Committee's recommendation of

Envirosphere Company to be the technical consultant for the Office.

The Committee undertook a comprehensive rating system which was

utilized in their final recommendation. Because the Board had

expressed a concern at its last meeting about the potential of some
- . -

members of the public perceiving any of the proposed contractors

as being potentially biased because of previous business carried

out for the nuclear industry, the Committee submitted letters

addressing this issue from the contractors rated highest by the

Committee. These responses were discussed by the Board members.

Following extended discussion, Donald Moos moved to adopt Resolution 84-2, as follows: "The Nuclear Waste Board approves of the

selection of Envirosphere Company as prime contractor to perform

technical and review services."

Motion was adopted.

The Chair requested Rick Olson to explain the proposed draft form

Memorandum of Agreement presented to the Board. Following his comments, Nick Lewis moved to adopt Resolution 84-3, as follows:

"The Nuclear Waste Board approves of the draft form Memorandum of

Agreement for technical and review services with Envirosphere Company,

and authorizes Warren Bishop to assist WDOE staff to negotiate

the final Memorandum of Agreement with the contractor and as Chair

to sign such agreement indicating Board approval if agreement is

reached; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Warren Bishop shall withhold Board

approval and seek approval from the entire Board at the next meeting

of the Board if the contractor insists on changes from the form MOA

herein approved, if Warren Bishop deems such changes to be major

changes. The contract should contain a provision for the contractor's

Project Manager and for principal staff involved in the work to be

provided by Envirosphere from its Seattle Office and not actively

involved in projects which might create an appearance of conflict."

Motion was adopted.

Well-Logging Project

The Chair called on Dr. William Brewer to present the backgound and

need for the well-logging project proposed to be conducted by

Washington State University. Dr. Brewer stated the project was an

opportunity to utilize a source of expertise to obtain vital information concerning the hydrology of the region within which the proposed

repository was located.

Ras Lasmanis moved to adopt Resolution 84-4, as follows: "The Nuclear

Waste Board approves of the proposed well-logging project with the

Civil and Environmental Engineering Department of Washington State

University. The Board grants Warren Bishop authority to approve or

disapprove of a contract implementing such project on behalf of the

Board as negotiated by the Department of Ecology."

Motion was adopted.

- 2 -
Memorandum of Understanding with Joint Committee on Science

and Technology

The Chair called upon David Stevens and Gary Rothwell to present

the background and need for the MOU between the Department and the

Joint Committee on Science and Technology. The MOU provides for

the transfer of funds received from the USDOE via grant for use by

the Joint Committee in activities related to the NWPA of 1982.

The proposed MOU, already signed by the designess from the Legislature, was presented.

Dick Watson moved to adopt Resolution 84-5, as follows: "The Nuclear

Waste Board approves of the Memorandum of Understanding between the

Department of Ecology and the Joint Committee on Science and Technology of the state Legislature."

Motion was adopted.

Liaison and Coordination Activities

The Chair called upon Charles Roe, Senior Assistant Attorney General,

and Rick Olson to report on their follow-up on the Board's request

made on April 20 that staff and the Attorney General's Office present

to the Board specific proposals for the Board to act upon. The proposed Resolution and the Memorandum of Agreement were explained.

"Travel expenses" in the last paragraph on Appendix A of the MOA

was intended to include "travel expenses, per diem, and subsistence

payments."

Nick Lewis moved to adopt Resolution 84-6. (See attachment.)

Ray Lasmanis moved to amend the proposed Resolution by inserting

in numbered paragraph 2, line 4, after "Council.": "The Board

requests the Department to investigate alternative means of providing for these services other than by personal service contract

with the Department. The Board further requests the Department

to investigate funding sources for these services other than USDOE

grants. The Department should report to the Board at the regular

August, 1984 Board meeting on its findings."

The amendment was adopted.

Donald Moos moved to amend Appendix A of the Resolution by striking

all material beginning with Item 5 through Item 9, and in the last

paragraph, line 2 after "Board" strike the remainder of the sentence

and insert: .".

Donald Moos stated that he considered Item 6 to be included within

Items 1 through 4.

The amendment was adopted.

- 3 -
The motion as amended was adopted. Chair Warren Bishop abstained.

Nick Lewis moved to adopt Resolution 84-7, as follows:

"The Board approves of the Memorandum of Agreement between Warren

Bishop and the Department of Ecology, and Appendix A modified to

conform with Resolution 84-6."

The motion was adopted. Chair Warren Bishop abstained.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:40 p.m.
