DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Office of Environmental Management;

Proposed Site Treatment Plans

AGENCY:Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

Energy’s (DOE) is delaying submission

of the Proposed Site Treatment Plans

(Proposed Plans) for developing

treatment capacity and technologies for

mixed radioactive and hazardous waste

required by the Federal Facility

Compliance Act (FFCAct or Act). DOE

expects to submit the Proposed Plans to

the State or the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), as

appropriate, at the end of March 1995,

but in any event no later than April 6,

1995. Originally scheduled for

submission in February 1995, DOE is

revising the submission date for the

Proposed Plans with the support of the

affected States and EPA to allow

additional time for further discussions

on schedules for developing treatment

capacity in light of anticipated funding

limitations. This revised date still

provides the States and EPA the six

months allowed by the FFCAct to solicit

public comments and approve the Site

Treatment Plans, and to issue

compliance orders by October 6, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Additional information on

the Site Treatment Plan development

process and related activities can be

obtained from the Center for

Environmental Management

Information at 1–800–7EM–DATA (1–

800–736–3282).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended by

the FFCAct, requires DOE to prepare

Site Treatment Plans for developing

treatment capacities and technologies

for treating mixed waste for each site at

which DOE stores or generates mixed

waste (section 3021 (b)). Mixed waste is

defined by the FFCAct as waste

containing both hazardous waste subject

to RCRA, and source, special nuclear, or

by-product material subject to the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Site

Treatment Plans are being prepared for

approximately 48 sites located in 22

States.

DOE must submit the Site Treatment

Plan to the State or EPA, as appropriate,

for approval, disapproval, or approval

with modification. The FFCAct provides

six months for the regulatory agency to

review the Plan and make it publicly

available. Upon approval, the agency is

to issue an Order requiring compliance

with the approved Plan. Sites that are in

compliance with approved Plans and

Orders by October 1995 will not be

subject to fines and penalties related to

the storage prohibitions under section

3004(j) of RCRA.

After consultation with affected States

and EPA, DOE issued a Federal Register

Notice on April 6, 1993 (58 FR 17875),

which set a schedule for submission of

the Site Treatment Plans in three stages.

The first stage, the Conceptual Site

Treatment Plans, were submitted in

October 1993 and described a wide

range of possible treatment alternatives

for each mixed waste stream. The Draft

Plans were submitted in August 1994,

and included one or two options

identified by the site, with input from

the State, as the preferred treatment for

each mixed waste stream. After further

analysis of the preferred options for the

DOE complex as a whole, discussions

among the States, and consideration of

public comments, DOE planned to

submit Proposed Site Treatment Plans

in February 1995 to the appropriate

regulatory agency (i.e., the State or

EPA).

II. Rescheduling of Proposed Plan

Submittal Date

DOE has worked closely with the

States and EPA, which will approve and

enforce the final Plans, throughout the

Site Treatment Plan development

process. The National Governors

Association (NGA) is facilitating

interactions among the States at the

national level under a cooperative

agreement with DOE. At an NGAsponsored meeting early in December

1994 that included affected States, EPA,

and Tribal governments, several States

asked DOE to consider delaying

submission of the Proposed Site

Treatment Plans to allow additional

time for discussions on funding

availability and the potential impacts of

current and future budgetary constraints

on schedules for constructing new

mixed waste treatment facilities. After

NGA confirmed with the other States

involved in the FFCAct process that

such a delay was acceptable, DOE

postponed submittal of the Proposed

Plans.

DOE expects to submit the Proposed

Plans to the appropriate regulatory

agencies for approval at the end of

March 1995, but in any event no later

than April 6, 1995. This will still allow

the States and EPA the six months

provided by the Act to review the

Proposed Plans and make them

available to the public, and to issue

Compliance Orders by October 6, 1995.

approved Plans and Compliance Orders
