Mr. DonaldW. Moos, Director WashingtonStateDepartmentofEcology Mail StopPV-ll Olympia, WA 98504 DearMr. Moos: This letter is intended to respond to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) request for an assurance that the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) agrees to this State's MemorandumofAgreement with EPA for interimauthorizationof thehazardous wasteprogramin WashingtonState. EFSEC agrees to abide with the terms and conditions of the enclosed Memorandum of Agreement between the State of Washington and EPA as said terms and conditions apply to our regulation of hazardous waste generation activity at energy facilities authorizedby anEFSEC sitecertification. Weexpect our participation in the program, for the foreseeable future, tocontinue to be limited to regulation ofthree Washington Public Power Supply System projects for which generator identification numbers have been obtained. As indicated in the enclosed letter, the Washington Public Power Supply System has already informed EPA ofitsintentandactions tocomply with Stateprogramrequirements. We will continuecooperative efforts in carrying out an interim authorized program and to accomplish actions necessary for Washington to achieve a fully equivalent program for subsequentfinalauthorizationofthe State'sprogram.

### Subject: WNP-l/4 DANGEROUS WASTE GENERATOR
The recently adopteddangerous wasteregulations (WAC 173-303) impose certain requirements on generators of hazardous wastes. From time to time, the various contractor activities on the WNP-l construction site do generate dangerous wastes in sufficient quantity to fall within the scope of these regulations. The regulations are explicit (WAC 173-303-010(3)) in not superseding EFSEC's authority. We intend to fully comply with these regulations and expect that you will coordinate your enforcement role with Ecology. Such coordination is especially important in this 

### area because of the

..cradl e- to-grave" uniform manifest system that is at the heart of controlling the disposal of dangerous wastes. We request that you issue us an identification number, and we have attached the appropriate forms to facilitate yourcoordination with Ecology and our inclusion in their record keeping. We have surveyed our activities and presently predict that there are three principal dangerous waste types: spent solvents, empty containers from any extremely hazardous materials, and unused paints and resin coatings which have exceeded their shelf life or partially empty containers of these coatings. It is our intent to have contractors responsible for proper disposal. It 

### is further in our interest to have all wastes removed from the site within 90 days so that we will not fall under the scope of the regulations for storage f
