Washington Administrative Code › Title 246 - Health, Department of › RADIATION › Chapter 246-250 - Radioactive waste-Licensing land disposal › TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Section 246-250-340 - Environmental monitoring

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) At
				  the time a new license application is submitted, the applicant shall have
				  conducted a preoperational monitoring program to provide basic environmental
				  data on the disposal site characteristics. The applicant shall obtain
				  information about the ecology, meteorology, climate, hydrology, geology,
				  geochemistry, and seismology of the disposal site. For those characteristics
				  that are subject to seasonal variation, data must cover at least a twelve-month
				  period.
(2) During the land
				  disposal facility site construction and operation, the licensee shall maintain
				  an environmental monitoring program. Measurements and observations must be made
				  and recorded to provide data to evaluate the potential health and environmental
				  impacts during both the construction and the operation of the facility and to
				  enable the evaluation of long-term effects and the need for mitigative
				  measures. The monitoring system must be capable of providing early warning of
				  releases of waste from the disposal site before they leave the site
				  boundary.
(3) After the disposal
				  site is closed, the licensee responsible for postoperational surveillance of
				  the disposal site shall maintain a monitoring system based on the operating
				  history and the closure and stabilization of the disposal site. The monitoring
				  system must be capable of providing early warning of releases of waste from the
				  disposal site before they leave the site boundary.
(4) The licensee shall have plans for taking
				  corrective measures if the environmental monitoring program detects migration
				  of waste which would indicate that the performance objectives may not be
				  met.
