Robert Martinez
Director, Environmental Law Division
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Filed: August 20, 2012
Notice of Minor Amendment
Radioactive Material License Number R04100
APPLICATION. Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) applied to
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for various
amendments to Radioactive Material License R04100 on January
25, 2011, August 2, 2011, and January 4, 2012, submittal which was
revised and resubmitted on July 20, 2012, and two submissions on
April 30, 2012. Radioactive Material License R04100 authorizes
commercial disposal of low-level radioactive waste. WCS currently
conducts a variety of waste management services at its site in Andrews
County, Texas and is the licensed operator of the Compact Waste
Disposal Facility (CWF) and Federal Facility Waste Facility (FWF)
for commercial and federal low-level radioactive waste disposal.
The land disposal facility for low-level radioactive waste disposal
is located at 9998 State Highway 176 West in Andrews County,Texas. The following link to an electronic map of the facility's general
location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the appli-
cation or notice: http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/hb610/in-
dex.html?lat=32.4425&ing=-103.063055&zoom= 13&type=. For an
exact location, refer to the application. The Executive Director has de-
termined that the amendment requests constitute a minor amendment.
The amendments to the license are as follows. License Condition 27
is amended to specify maintenance requirements for access roads.
License Condition 97 is amended to authorize receipt of waste by rail.
License Condition 143, Table 2 is amended to authorize disposal of
both utility and non-utility decommissioning waste streams. License
Condition 144 is amended to authorize the use of wastewater treatment
plants at both the CWF and FWF for collected contact water. License
Condition 186 is amended to reflect the previously noted submittals,
including the August 2, 2011, and April 30, 2012 requests for design
changes to the FWF which did not necessitate amendment to other
license conditions. The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the
technical review of the amendment application and supporting docu-
ments and has prepared a draft license. The draft license, if approved,
would refine and add detail to the conditions under which the land
disposal facility must operate with regard to existing authorized receipt
of wastes and does not change the concentration limits of wastes to be
received. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that
this license, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements.
The license amendment application with supporting documents, the
Executive Director's technical summary, and the amended draft license
are available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ's central office in
Austin, Texas and at the Andrews Public Library in Andrews, Texas.
PUBLIC COMMENT/PUBLIC MEETING. The purpose of a public
meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask
questions about the application. The TCEQ holds a public meeting if
the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of
public interest in the applications or if requested by a local legislator.
A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. After the deadline for
submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all
timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material,
or significant public comments.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The application is subject to
Commission rules which direct the Executive Director to act on
behalf of the Commission and provide authority to the Executive
Director to issue final approval of the application for amendment after
consideration of all timely comments submitted on the application.
