MONTICELLO PROJECTS FEDERAL FACILITIES AGREEMENT REPORT
September/October 2004
STATUS
Report Period: September 1- October 31, 2004 DOE Project Coordinator: Art Kleinrath
Operable Units I and II
EPA signed the Preliminary' Closeout Report for the Monticello Mill Tailings (USDOE) Site, Operable Units I, II, and!!!, on September 29, 2004, thereby providing a designation of "construction complete" for the MMTS.
The annual inspection of the Monticello Mill Tailings Site and the Monticello Radioactively Contaminated Sites was conducted September 15-17. With the exception ofmillsite restoration, both of these CERCLA sites are in good condition. Inspection of the monitoring wells in the ground water monitoring network was completed the week of October 4 during the fall sampling event.
DOE is continuing discussions with the City of Monticello concerning adequate restoration of the former millsite. DOE requested that this issue be placed on the agenda for the November 10, 2004, City Council meeting so that DOE can discuss plans by the City concerning restoration and maintenance of the former millsite. The request was granted by the City.
A preliminary analysis was conducted of the data collected during the 2004 revegetation monitoring of the Monticello repository cover. Recommendations for improving the success of the revegetation effort were discussed. DOE will address these issues in the forthcoming repository cover monitoring report.
Chapter 5, Project Scheduled and Milestones, of the Monticello Site Management Plan was submitted via email to EPA and UDEQ on October 4, 2004. EPA provided an extension to the original deadline of September 30 for this document due to the accelerated schedules of remedial action reports that were required to obtain construction complete status for the MMTS.
The pump and power supply cords on Leak Detection Sump 2 were replaced and tested. The pump is working; however, the water is muddy, which causes the pressure sensitive level indicators to read erroneously high. A measured amount of water has been added to the sump to clean out the mud but the problem has not been resolved. The Monticello crew will continue to address the problem. The annual telemetry calibration test was also conducted at this time since it also requires a known amount of water to be added to the sumps.

MONTICELLO SURFACE- AND GROUND-WATER PROJECT (MSG)
STATUS
All required signatures (DOE, EPA, and UDEQ) were obtained on the Remedial Action Report for the Interim Remedial Action Record of Decision, Operable Unit Ill, Swface Water and Ground Water, Monticello Mill Tailings (USDOE) Site, Monticello Utah by September 28, 2004.

All required signatures (DOE, EPA, and UDEQ) were obtained on the Interim Remedial Action Report, Monticello Mill Tailings (USDOE) National Priorities List Site, OU IIISwface Water and Ground Water Monitored Natural Attenuation Remedy by September 28, 2004. This document is complete and has been placed in the Information Repository.
A Biological Technical Assistance Group (BTAG) meeting was held October 5 and 6. The purpose of the BTAG, consisting of members of DOE, DOE's contractor, EPA, UDEQ, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was to determine how to monitor biological receptors of selenium at the MMTS. BTAG members concurred. on the sampling protocol for sediment and co-located water samples in the wetland areas. Discussions were held concerning the wildlife survey and benthic macro invertebrate sampling for. selenium that will be conducted in 2005. It was agreed that a P.fOgram directive specifying details of the wildlife survey would be completed by January 15, 2005. Another program directive that identifies how benthic macro invertebrate sampling will be conducted is due on February 1, 2005.
A program directive (MSG-04-0 1) was issued for sampling of sediment and surface water in Wetlands 1, 2, and 3, and the sediment pond. This program directive, which was approved by the BTAG, augments the OU III Post-ROD Monitoring Plan. The samples were collected on October 6.
The first post-Record of Decision for OU Ili ground and surface water sampling event was conducted during the week of October 4.
