Radioactive waste dump seeking amendment to its license
Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) is seeking several amendments to its Radioactive Material License # R04100 from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Five of the amendments request design changes to the Compact Waste Disposal Facility (CWF) and the Federal Waste Facility (FWF) for commercial and federal low-level radiactive waste disposal. The other two amendment applications set forth new Waste Acceptance Criteria that includes rates and contract considerations and new pavement design considerations.
Just as important, TCEQ is considering revising language and definition for waste of international origin, acceptance criteria, reporting of inventory and liability coverage as well as the issued TCEQ waste water permit.
TCEQ is accepting public comments and requests for a public meeting. These can be submitted by mail to:
the Office of the Chief Clerk
MC 105
TCEQ
P. O. Box 13087
or electronically at www.tceq.state.tx.us/about/comments.html by December 17th.
If you need more information about the license application or the licensing process, please call the TCEQ Office of Public Assistance at 1-800-687-4040.
We will post the link to the amendment applications as soon as we are able to find them. TCEQ recently migrated its database and the links no longer work. Makes finding materials to base written comments on a bit more complicated.
