NUMBER NM4890139088WIPP-ll-OIODear Messrs. Ziemianski <strong>and</strong> Sharif:The New Mexico Environment Department (Department) has received a <strong>Permit</strong> <strong>Modification</strong><strong>Request</strong> <strong>to</strong> Update Ventilation Language, Add a Shielded Container, <strong>and</strong> Revise the WasteIsolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Groundwater Detection Moni<strong>to</strong>ring Program Plan, dated September29,2011, from the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> Energy Carlsbad Field Office <strong>and</strong> Washing<strong>to</strong>n TRUSolutions LLC (the <strong>Permit</strong>tees). The <strong>Permit</strong>tees seek <strong>to</strong> modify the Hazardous Waste Facility<strong>Permit</strong> for the WIPP <strong>and</strong> request that the Department process the request as a Class 2 permitmodification under the regulations at 40 CFR § 270.42(b). For the reasons explained below, Iapprove with changes two items <strong>of</strong> the modification request <strong>and</strong> deny one item.All items in the permit modification request were subject <strong>to</strong> a sixty (60) day public commentperiod, which ran from Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 5, 2011 through December 5,2011. The Department receivedwritten comments on the request from eighty individuals <strong>and</strong> organizations. A large majority(77) <strong>of</strong> public comments addressed item 2, the request <strong>to</strong> add provisions <strong>to</strong> the permit forshielded containers for remotely-h<strong>and</strong>led radioactive waste. The Department received only afew minor public comments regarding item 1, the request <strong>to</strong> modify the ventilation requirements


Messrs. Ziemianski <strong>and</strong> SharifJanuary 31, 2012Page 2at the facility, <strong>and</strong> item 3, the request <strong>to</strong> modify the facility groundwater moni<strong>to</strong>ring plan. TheDepartment approves these modifications in accordance with 20.4.1.900 NMAC (incorporating40 CFR § 270.42(b)). The Department has made some changes <strong>to</strong> the permit modificationrequest. Changes include revision <strong>of</strong>the ventilation language so that the requirement forventilation in an active remote h<strong>and</strong>led waste room with workers present is not removed. Thisrevision <strong>to</strong> the proposed language is made several section <strong>of</strong> the permit so that the requirement isconsistent throughout the permit.Under 20.4.1.900 NMAC (incorporating 40 CFR § 270.42(b )(7)), the Department may deny aClass 2 permit modification request if the modification request is incomplete; it does not complywith applicable requirements; or it fails <strong>to</strong> protect human health <strong>and</strong> the environment. During itstechnical review <strong>of</strong> the modification request for shielded containers, the Department noted thatnumerous sections in Part 3, Attachment AI, A2, Cl, D, E <strong>and</strong> G must be revised <strong>to</strong> conform <strong>to</strong>the permit modification. In addition, 40 CFR 270.42(b), Appendix I, item F.3.a states changes <strong>of</strong>s<strong>to</strong>rage <strong>of</strong> different wastes in containers that do not require additional or different managementpractices from those authorized in the permit are Class 2 changes. The use <strong>of</strong> shielded containersdoes not fit this category as the facility will not be using different waste but will be usingdifferent containers.Numerous public commenters identified similar issues with the modification request.Furthermore, the Department does not have sufficient information <strong>to</strong> correct the technicalinadequacies in the application <strong>and</strong> approve the modifications "with changes" under 20.4.1.900(incorporating 40 CFR § 270.42(b)(6)(i)(A)). Consequently, the Department is denying thepermit modification request <strong>to</strong> add provisions for shielded containers.Enclosed are the revised pages <strong>of</strong> the modified permit in redline-strikeout <strong>to</strong> help the readerrapidly identify each modification. Also enclosed is an electronic version <strong>of</strong> the modifiedpermit, dated January 31, 2012. An electronic version <strong>of</strong> the modified permit has been postedfor the public on the Department's WIPP Information Page athttp://www.nmenv.state.Dm.us/wipp/download.htmlThe enclosed revised permit also includes the two Class 1 permit modifications submitted sinceNovember 2011. A separate letter sent January 18,2012 addressed the specifics <strong>of</strong> thosechanges.The permit modification shall become effective thirty days after notice <strong>of</strong> the decision has beenserved on the <strong>Permit</strong>tees pursuant <strong>to</strong> 20.4.1. 90 1.A(1 0) NMAC. Thus, the effective date is March1,2012.The Department will provide full response <strong>to</strong> all public comments under separate cover.

Addendum ll, Section ll-2a <strong>of</strong> the21 Amended Renewal Application (DOE, 2009) provides more detailed discussions <strong>of</strong> the local <strong>and</strong>22 regional hydrogeology.

Fluid present in the Castile is very restricted2B because evaporites do not readily maintain pore space, solution channels, or open fractures at29 depth. Drill-stem tests conducted in the Castile during construction <strong>of</strong> the WIPP facility ~30 determined its permeability <strong>to</strong> be lOwer than detection limits; however, the hydraulic conductivity31 has been conservatively estimated <strong>to</strong> be less than 10" tI (3 x 10·g m) per day.

The substantial barrier will be constructed from available non·tlammable22 materials such as mined salt (Figure NH).23 The bulkheads (Figure Nl-2) serves <strong>to</strong> block ventilation at the intake <strong>and</strong> exhaust <strong>of</strong> the filled24 panel <strong>and</strong> prevent personnel access. The bulkhead is constructed as a typical WIPP bulkhead25 with no access doors or panels, The bulkhead will consist <strong>of</strong> a steel member frame covered with26 galvanized sheet metal, <strong>and</strong> will not allow personnel access. Rubbor G()fl¥9.YOF beltFlexible27 fla shing will be used as a gasket <strong>to</strong> attach the steel frame <strong>to</strong> the salt, thereby providing an28 effective yet flexible blockage <strong>to</strong> ventilation air. Over time, it is possible that the bulkhead may29 be damaged by creep closure around it.

This plan achieves this objective <strong>and</strong> documents the process by which the <strong>Permit</strong>tees4 demonstrate compliance with the ventilation requirements by:5 • Maintaining an annual running average <strong>of</strong> 260,000 scfm through the underground5 reposi<strong>to</strong>ry7 • Maintaining a minimum <strong>of</strong> 35,000 scfm <strong>of</strong> air through the active disposal-rooms where8 waste disQOsal is taking place <strong>and</strong> when workers are present in the rooms9 This plan contains the following elements: Objective; Design <strong>and</strong> Procedures; Equipment10 Calibration <strong>and</strong> Maintenance; Reporting <strong>and</strong> Record Keeping; Quality Assurance.11 0-3 Design <strong>and</strong> Procedures12 This section describes the four basic processes that make up the mine ventilation rate13 moni<strong>to</strong>ring plan:14 • T~st <strong>and</strong> Balance, a periodic re-verification <strong>of</strong> the satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry performance <strong>of</strong> the entire15 underground ventilation system <strong>and</strong> associated components15 • Moni<strong>to</strong>ring <strong>and</strong> calculation <strong>of</strong> the Running Annual Average <strong>of</strong> the Total Mine Airflow <strong>to</strong>17 verify achievement <strong>of</strong> the 260,000 scfm minimum requirement18 • Moni<strong>to</strong>ring <strong>of</strong> active gisfK)63~ room(s) <strong>to</strong> ensure a minimum flow <strong>of</strong> 35,000 scfm19 whenever waste d!sposalls taking place <strong>and</strong> workers are present in the room20 • Quarterly verification <strong>of</strong> the <strong>to</strong>tal mine airflow21 0-3a Test <strong>and</strong> Balance22 0-3a(1) Test <strong>and</strong> Balance Process23 The WIPP ventilation system <strong>and</strong> the underground ventilation modes <strong>of</strong> operation are described24 in Perm~ Application A2-2a(3). The Permi"ees shall verify underground ventilation system25 performance by conducting a periodic Test <strong>and</strong> Balance. The Test <strong>and</strong> Balance is a26 comprehensive series <strong>of</strong> measurements <strong>and</strong> adjustments designed <strong>to</strong> ensure that the system is27 operating within acceptable design parameters. The Test <strong>and</strong> Balance is an appropriate method28 <strong>of</strong> verifying system flow because it provides consistent results based on good engineering29 practices. The testing <strong>of</strong> underground ventilation systems is described in McPherson, 1993.30 Once completed, the Test <strong>and</strong> Balance data become the baseline for underground ventilation31 system operation until the next Test <strong>and</strong> Balance is performed.32 The ''Tesf portion <strong>of</strong> the process shall involVe measuring the pressure drop <strong>and</strong> air quantity <strong>of</strong>33 every underground entry excluding alcoves or other dead end drifts. In addition, the tests shall34 verify resistance curves for each <strong>of</strong> the main regula<strong>to</strong>rs, measure shaft resistance, <strong>and</strong> measure35 main fan pressure <strong>and</strong> quantity.

From these measurements the frictional resistance <strong>of</strong> the system is2 determined.3 Pressure shall be measured using the gage <strong>and</strong> tube method, which measures the pressure4 drop between two points using a calibrated pressure recording device <strong>and</strong> pi<strong>to</strong>t tubes. Pressure5 drops across the shafts shall be measured by either calibrated barometers at the <strong>to</strong>p <strong>and</strong>6 bot<strong>to</strong>m <strong>of</strong> shafts or the gage <strong>and</strong> tube method. Airllow shall be measured using a calibrated7 vane anemometer <strong>to</strong> take a full entry traverse between system junctions. Fan pressure shall be8 measured using a calibrated pressure recording device <strong>and</strong> pi<strong>to</strong>t tube <strong>to</strong> determine both static9 <strong>and</strong> velocity pressure components.10 Multiple measurements shall be taken at each field location <strong>to</strong> ensure accurate results." Consecutive field values must fall within ±5% <strong>to</strong> be acceptable. These data shall be verified12 during the testing process by checking that:13 • the sum <strong>of</strong> airllows entering <strong>and</strong> leaving a junction is equal <strong>to</strong> zero; <strong>and</strong>.14 • the sum <strong>of</strong> pressure drops around any closed loop is equal <strong>to</strong> zero.15 Once the measurements are taken, data shall be used <strong>to</strong> calculate the resistance <strong>of</strong> every16 underground drift, as well as shafts <strong>and</strong> regula<strong>to</strong>rs using Atkinson's Square Law17 P=R x Q218 where the pressure drop <strong>of</strong> an entry (P) is equal <strong>to</strong> a resistance (R) times the square <strong>of</strong> the19 quantity <strong>of</strong> air flowing (0) through the circuit.20 The "Balance" portion <strong>of</strong> the process shall involve adjusting the settings <strong>of</strong> the system fans <strong>and</strong>21 regula<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> achieve the desired airllow distribution in all parts <strong>of</strong> the facility for each mode <strong>of</strong>22 operation. Particular emphasis shall be given <strong>to</strong> the active disposal room(s) in the Waste23 Disposal Circuit <strong>to</strong> ensure that a minimum airllow <strong>of</strong> 35,000 scfm is achieved. The system24 baseline settings for the current Balance shall be established from the previous Test <strong>and</strong>25 Balance. Adjustments shall then be made <strong>to</strong> account for changes in system resistance due <strong>to</strong>26 excavation convergence due <strong>to</strong> salt creep, approved system modifications, or operational27 changes.28 The <strong>Permit</strong>tees shall use a commercially available ventilation simula<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> process Test <strong>and</strong>29 Balance field data. The simula<strong>to</strong>r uses the Hardy-Cross Iteration Method (McPherson, 1993) <strong>to</strong>30 reduce field data in<strong>to</strong> a balanced ventilation network, including the appropriate regula<strong>to</strong>r settings31 necessary <strong>to</strong> achieve proper airflow distribution for the various operating modes. Once32 balanced, the same simula<strong>to</strong>r shall be used <strong>to</strong> evaluate changes such as future reposi<strong>to</strong>ry33 development <strong>and</strong> potential system modification before they are implemented .34 The Test <strong>and</strong> Balance process culminates in a final report which is retained on site. Following35 receipt <strong>of</strong> the Test <strong>and</strong> Balance Report, the <strong>Permit</strong>tees shall revise the WIPP surlace <strong>and</strong>36 underground ventilation system procedures <strong>to</strong> incorporate any required changes <strong>to</strong> the37 ventilation system configuration.
