Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, June 10, 2024
Section 6 CCR 1007-1-18.8 - Operational Requirements

Each licensee authorized to receive, possess or use source material for milling or byproduct material shall:

18.8.1 Operate in accordance with the requirements of this Part 18, in particular the procedures required by 18.3.2, monitoring required by 18.3.3, and the requirements and objectives of Appendix A to this Part 18.
18.8.2 Submit a report to the Department within sixty (60) days after January 1 and July 1 of each year, specifying the quantity of each of the radioactive materials released to unrestricted areas in liquid and in gaseous effluents during the previous six months of operation, and such other information as the Department may require to estimate maximum potential annual radiation doses to the public resulting from effluent releases. If quantities of radioactive materials released during the reporting period are significantly above the licensee's design objectives previously reviewed as part of the licensing action, the report shall cover this specifically. On the basis of such reports and any additional information the Department may obtain from the licensee or others, the Department may from time to time require the licensee to take such action as the Department deems appropriate.
18.8.3 For any licensed site or facility determined by the Department to have caused a release to the groundwater that exceeds the basic standards for groundwater as established by the water quality control commission, until remediation has been completed, the licensee shall provide annual written notice of the status of the release and any remediation activities associated with the release, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the current address for each registered groundwater well within one mile of the release as identified in the corrective action monitoring program. Documentation of this activity will be retained and made available to the Department upon request.
18.8.3.1 Under no circumstances shall remediation be deemed complete until all groundwater wells affected by any release associated with the site or facility are restored to at least the numeric groundwater standards as established by the water quality control commission that apply to the historic uses of the wells. The licensee shall remediate any release affecting groundwater wells in the most expedited manner reasonably possible using best available active restoration and groundwater monitoring technologies.
18.8.3.2 Prior to the application of any numeric groundwater standard different from the baseline standard contained in 10 CFR Part 40 , the standard must have been approved by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission in accordance with section 274o of the federal "Atomic Energy Act of 1954", 42 U.S.C. sec 2021(o).
18.8.4 For any facility licensed under Part 18, in addition to any reporting requirements provided in the license or rules, the license shall provide notice to the Department as soon as practicable upon discovery of any spill or release involving toxic or radioactive materials and shall provide an initial written report within seven (7) days after any discovery. The department shall post all such written reports on the Department's web site as soon as practicable, and in no case later than seven (7) days after receipt by the Department.
