1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

**In accordance with 40 CFR 194.8(b), the U.S. Enviro nmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency)** 

**conducted two baseline inspections of waste charact erization (WC) programs for remote-handled (RH)** 

**transuranic (TRU) wastes at the following Departmen t of Energy (DOE) sites:** 

• **EPA Baseline Inspection No. EPA-INL-CCP-RH-6.06-8 of the Central Characterization** 

**Project’s (CCP) RH WC program at DOE’s Idaho Nationa l Laboratory (INL) in June and** 

**August 2006, reported in Docket No: A-98-49, II-A4-6 9; and** 

• **EPA Baseline Inspection No. EPA-ANL-CCP-RH-9.06-8 of the CCP RH WC program at the** 

**DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in September 2006, reported in Docket No: A-98-** 

**49, II-A4-70.**

**As a result of these two baseline inspections, EPA approved the INL-CCP and ANL-CCP RH TRU** 

**WC programs based on a demonstration of the sites’ capabilities, with conditions and limitations as** 

**documented in the INL Baseline Final Inspection Rep ort and the ANL Baseline Final Inspection** 

**Report, (see EPA Docket Nos: A-98-49; II-A4-72, Jan uary 12, 2007 and A-98-49, II-A4-73, January** 

**16, 2007, respectively). The January 2007 baseline approvals of the CCP programs at INL and ANL** 

**for RH TRU wastes did not include the WIPP Waste In formation System (WWIS). EPA’s proposed** 

**approval (Federal Register, Volume 71, Number 216, No vember 8, 2006, Pages 25488 to 25493)** 

**stated that the WWIS would be evaluated independent ly and subject to evaluation and review through** 

**a Tier 1 (T1) change. CBFO subsequently requested a T1 change for WWIS that would apply to both** 

**sites and this evaluation was performed by EPA’s pa rticipation in an interactive demonstration** 

**organized by CCP on November 21, 2006.**

**This report serves as EPA’s evaluation of the WWIS for RH TRU wastes at INL-CCP and ANL-CCP** 

**as a T1 change. Using the information provided in this report, EPA has determined that the WWIS is** 

**adequate for tracking RH TRU waste components. Thi s report, in conjunction with the INL Baseline** 

**Final Inspection Report and the ANL Baseline Final Inspection Reports (see EPA Docket Nos: A-98-** 

**49; II-A4-72, January 12, 2007 and A-98-49, II-A4-7 3, January 16, 2007, respectively) completes** 

**EPA’s initial evaluation of INL-CCP and ANL-CCP for RH TRU wastes for the WC systems included** 

**in the respective inspection reports and allows for the disposal of RH TRU waste at WIPP, contingent** 

**upon all other approvals that are required for DOE. Note that so far only one RH waste type, debris** 

**waste (S5000) from INL and ANL, has been evaluated and approved by EPA. Today’s approval will** 

**allow the disposal of debris waste (S5000) from INL and ANL at WIPP, contingent upon DOE** 

**receiving all other required approvals.**

**Additionally EPA is adding a Tier 2 element for WWI S as a result of this evaluation and is reflected i**  **n**

**the attached tables for INL-CCP (approved January 1 2, 2007) and ANL-CCP RH (approved January** 

**16, 2007).**

2.0 PURPOSE OF TIER 1 CHANGE EVALUATIONS

**Certain changes to the WC activities from the date of the site’s baseline inspection must be reported**  **to,**

**and, if applicable, approved by EPA according to th e tiering requirements set forth in 40 CFR 194.8,** 

**regulation and incorporated in the INL and ANL Base line Final Report cited above.** 

# 2

**Under the changes to 40 CFR 194.8 promulgated in th e July 16, 2004,**  Federal Register **notice, EPA**

**must perform a single baseline inspection of a TRU waste generator site’s WC program. (Vol. 69,** 

**No.136, pages 42571–42583, July 16, 2004). The purp ose of the baseline inspection is to evaluate the** 

**site’s WC program based on the demonstration that t he program’s components, with applicable** 

**conditions and limitations, can adequately characte rize TRU wastes and comply with the regulatory** 

**requirements imposed on TRU wastes destined for dis posal at the WIPP. An EPA inspection team** 

**conducts an onsite inspection to verify that the si te’s system of controls is technically adequate and** 

**properly implemented.**

**Following the EPA’s approval of WC processes evalua ted during the baseline inspection, EPA is** 

**authorized to evaluate and approve, if necessary, c hanges to the site’s approved WC program by** 

**conducting additional inspections under the authori ty of 40 CFR 194.24(h). Changes requiring EPA** 

**notification and approval prior to implementation ( Tier 1 Change) and those requiring post** 

**implementation (Tier 2) notification are identified in the site-specific baseline inspection reports.**  **EPA**

**may conduct a site inspection to observe, first-han d, the implementation of the change or can opt to** 

**conduct “desktop” review of information provided sp ecific to a change. Under 40 CFR 194.24, EPA** 

**has the authority to conduct continued compliance i nspections (both announced and unannounced) to** 

**verify that the site continues to use only the appr oved WC processes to characterize the waste and tha**  **t**

**those WC processes remain in compliance with all th e applicable regulatory requirements.** 

3.0 PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT

**This report presents the results of the EPA’s evalu ation of a T1 change to the initial baseline approv**  **al**

**of RH TRU WC programs at INL-CCP and ANL-CCP. Spec ifically, this report addresses the** 

**technical area of tracking waste components using t he WWIS. The Baseline Final Inspection Reports** 

**referenced above describe the conditions that EPA h as approved and document the basis for EPA’s** 

**approval decision of the WWIS.**

4.0 SCOPE OF REVIEW

**This T1 change review included the evaluation of in formation supporting the technical area of the** 

**WWIS.**

# 6.0 PERFORMANCE OF THE W WIS REVIEW

**On November 21, 2006, EPA participated in an on-line interactive audio/visual demonstration of the** 

**WWIS process for RH waste.**

**Procedure CCP-TP-530, Revision 3 was used by CCP to enter RH data into WWIS. EPA reviewed the** 

**procedure and determined that it was complete and t echnically adequate for this purpose. Note that at** 

**the time of the demonstration, CCP did not have com plete characterization data for any RH container** 

**and only Dose-to-Curie (DTC) and Visual Examination (VE) data were used. Sufficient and complete** 

**characterization data were not available, because, in the absence of an EPA baseline approval, a Waste** 

**Stream Profile Form (WSPF) had not yet been approve d by CBFO. Therefore, CCP chose to enter** 

**data into the test instance of the certification mo dule for the demonstration.** 

**The DTC and VE data for container No. 00789 were ent ered into WWIS prior to the demonstration.** 

**EPA was able to review both the Summary spreadsheet and Waste Container Data Form for this** 

**container. All the required data fields were prese nt in the RH module of WWIS reviewed. Appendix** 

**H, Remote-handled TRU waste, from the Qualification Cards for one (1) Waste Certification Assistant** 

**and one (1) Waste Certification Official (WCO) were reviewed and found to be complete. The RH** 

**training was dated June 6, 2006 for the WCA and Oct ober 10, 2006 for the WCO. The enclosed** 

**inspection checklist provides additional informatio n on EPA’s evaluation of the WWIS.** 

7.0 SUMMARY OF RESULTS

**During this desktop evaluation, the EPA did not ide ntify any findings or concerns related to the use o**  **f**

**the WWIS for entering and tracking waste RH TRU com ponents at INL-CCP or ANL-CCP.** 

**Changes to WWIS tiering for RH waste characterizati on at INL-CCP and ANL-CCP** 

**Tier 2:**

**The following Tier 2 element is added as a result f rom this evaluation:** 

**DOE must report and submit documentation discussing changes include the following:** 

• **Changes made to WWIS procedure(s) that require CBFO approval** 

**Both the INL-CCP and ANL-CCP RH WC programs will pr ovide information concerning T2 changes** 

**to EPA on a quarterly basis. EPA will evaluate the changes and will inform the INL-CCP and ANL** 

**CCP RH programs whether the changes raise any conce rns and require an INL-CCP and/or ANL-CCP** 

# 4

**RH response, or whether the INL-CCP and ANL-CCP RH WC programs can continue to implement** 

**the proposed changes.**

7.1 Conclusions

**During this T1 evaluation, EPA evaluated the use of the WWIS for tracking RH TRU waste** 

**components at INL-CCP and ANL-CCP. Based on the de monstration provided by CCP, EPA** 

**approves the use of WWIS for RH waste for both INL and ANL as a T1 change. This approval allows** 

**RH waste to be disposed of at WIPP, contingent upon all other approvals that are required for DOE.** 

**EPA will evaluate the submission of actual/complete RH WC data into the WWIS soon after the first** 

**shipment of RH waste containers from INL.**

**Additionally EPA is adding a T2 element for WWIS as a result of this evaluation which is reflected in** 

**the attached tables for INL-CCP (approved January 1 2, 2007) and ANL-CCP RH (approved January** 

**16, 2007).**
