Mr. J. R. Stroble

U.S. Department of Energy 

P.O. Box 3090 

Carlsbad, NM 88221 

Dcar Mr. Stroblc: 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed the information 

provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) in your 

January 28, 2011 letter reporting the Tier 2(T2) changes made during fiscal year 2011 

(FY11), first quarter (October -December). Transuranic (TRL') waste sites with EPAapproved waste characterization (WC) programs must report their T2 changes on a 

quarterly basis as established in EPA's site—specific baseline approvals. For FY11 first 

quarter, we reviewed the reported T2 changes at the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment 

Project and the Central Characterization Project 

EPA does not object to any of the changes reported in the enclosures to your letters. 

The enclosure to this letter identifies the documents we need, in their entirety, to 

better understand the specific topic, and to be better informed of the exact nature of the T2 

changes made to the approved WC activities. This information will also assist us in 

planning future inspections. We request that CBFO provide the documents in electronic 

format, via the internet or on a CD and then notify EPA by e-mail when they are available. 

Please contact Rajani Joglekar (202-343-9462) or Ed Feltconn (202-343-9422) if 

you have any questions. 

Sincerely, 

e✓ Tom Peake, Director 

Center for Waste Management and Regulations
