Section RH 14.7 - Specific Technical Information

The specific technical information shall include the following information needed for demonstration that the performance objectives and the applicable technical requirements of this part will be met:

14.7.1 A description of the natural and demographic disposal site characteristics as determined by disposal site selection and characterization activities. The description shall include, but not be limited to, geologic, geotechnical, geochemical, ecologic, archeological, hydrologic, meteorologic, climatologic, and biotic features of the disposal site and vicinity.
14.7.2 A description of the design features of the land disposal facility and the disposal units. For near-surface disposal, the description shall include those design features related to infiltration of water; integrity of covers for disposal units; structural stability of backfill, wastes, and covers; contact of wastes with standing water; disposal site drainage; disposal site closure and stabilization; elimination to the extent practicable of long-term disposal site maintenance; inadvertent intrusion; occupational exposures; disposal site monitoring; and adequacy of the size of the buffer zone for monitoring and potential mitigative measures.
14.7.3 A description of the principal design criteria and their relationship to the performance objectives.
14.7.4 A description of the design basis natural events or phenomena and their relationship to the principal design criteria.
14.7.5 A description of codes and standards which the applicant has applied to the design and which will apply to construction of the land disposal facilities.
14.7.6 A description of the construction and operation of the land disposal facility. The description shall include as a minimum the methods of construction of disposal units; waste emplacement; the procedures for and areas of waste segregation; types of intruder barriers; onsite traffic and drainage systems; survey control program; methods and areas of waste storage; and methods to control surface water and groundwater access to the wastes. The description shall also include a description of the methods to be employed in the handling and disposal of wastes containing chelating agents or other non-radiological substances that might affect meeting the performance objectives of this part.
14.7.7 A description of the disposal site closure plan, including those design features which are intended to facilitate disposal site closure and to eliminate the need for ongoing active maintenance.
14.7.8 An identification of the known natural resources at the disposal site, whose exploitation could result in inadvertent intrusion into the waste after removal of active institutional control.
14.7.9 A description of the kind, amount, classification and specifications of the radioactive materials proposed to be received, possessed, and disposed of at the land disposal facility.
14.7.10 A description of the quality assurance program developed and applied by the applicant for the determination of natural disposal site characteristics and for quality control during the design, construction, operation and closure of the land disposal facility and the receipt, handling, and emplacement of waste. Audits and managerial controls must be included.
14.7.11 A description of the radiation safety program for control and monitoring of radioactive effluents to ensure compliance with the performance objective in RH 14.19 and occupational radiation exposure to ensure compliance with the requirements of Part IV of these regulations and to control contamination of personnel, vehicles, equipment, buildings, and the disposal site. Both routine operations and accidents shall be addressed. The program description must include procedures, instrumentation, facilities, and equipment.
14.7.12 A description of the environmental monitoring program to provide data to evaluate potential health and environmental impacts and the plan for taking corrective measures if migration is indicated.
14.7.13 A description of the administrative procedures that the applicant will apply to control activities at the land disposal facility.
14.7.14 A description of the facility electronic recordkeeping system as required in RH 14.33.
