Environmental protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund Community involvement program is committed TO PROMOTING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CITIZENS AND THE AGENCY. ACTIVE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IS CRUCIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY PUBLIC PROJECT. EPA'S COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT ACTIVITIES AT THE UNITED NUCLEAR CORPORATION ARE DESIGNED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THE NATURE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SITE, INVOLVE THE PUBLIC IN THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL AFFECT THEM, INVOLVE THE PUBLIC IN THE RESPONSES UNDER CONSIDERATION TO REMEDY THESE ISSUES, AND INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THE PROGRESS BEING MADE TO IMPLEMENT THE REMEDY. 012580 ------- Table of Contents Section Page 1.0 Overview of the Community Involvement Plan 1 2.0 Capsule Site Description 1 2.1 Site History 1 2.2 Site Description/Location 4 2.3 Site Inspections and Cleanup Activities 5 3.0 Community Background 5 3.1 Community Profile 5 3.2 History of Community Involvement 6 3.3 Key Community Concerns 6 3.4 Response to Community Concerns 6 4.0 EPA's Community Involvement Program 7 4.1 The Plan 7 4.2 Time Frame Summary for Community Involvement Activities 13 Appendices: A EPA Regional Contacts 14 B Navajo Nation Officials 15 C Local Officials 16 D State Offi ci al s 17 E F ederal El ected Offi ci al s 18 F Bureau of Indian Affairs/U.S. Dept. of the Interior Contacts 19 G U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Contact 20 H Environmental and Active Groups 21 I Potentially Responsible Parties 22 J Media Contacts 23 K Repository Locations 25 L Meeting Location 26 M Local Schools 27 012581 ------- Section 1.0 Overview of the Community Involvement Plan The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed this Community Involvement Plan (CIP) to facilitate two-way communication between the community surrounding the United Nuclear Corporation (UNC) Superfund Site and EPA and to encourage community involvement in site activities. EPA will utilize the community involvement activities outlined in this plan to ensure that residents are continuously informed and provided opportunities to be involved. This Community Involvement Plan addresses the site history of the United Nuclear Corporation's mill site and the impact to the community and EPA involvement (Section 2.0), provides a background of the community (Section 3.0), presents EPA's community involvement program (Section 4.0), and provides a listing of resources available (Appendices). EPA drew upon several information sources to develop this plan, including community interviews and site files. EPA's Regional Office in Dallas, Texas will oversee the implementation of the community involvement activities outlined in this Plan. In-depth personal interviews with residents, the community and business leaders, and local officials who are interested in site activities form the basis for this UNC CIP. In addition, background information for the plan was obtained through file research and discussions with technical staff from the EPA, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). As work progresses at the site, the plan will be reviewed and revised to reflect the community's changing public involvement needs. Section 2.0 Site Description and Background 2.1 Site History • Mining began in area in 1968. • New Mexico issued radioactive materials license to UNC in May 1977. • Uranium mill opened on July 16, 1977. • Tailings pond dam failed in 1979 releasing 93 million gallons of slurry to Rio Puerco. • November 1979, UNC developed a Ground Water Discharge Plan for NMED to prevent tailings seepage from contaminating ground water at the site. • Mill closed in June 1982. • Site was placed on NPL in 1983. EPA initiated remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) in March 1984 to determine the nature and extent of ground water United Nuclear 1 December 2012 012582 ------- contamination in the Southwest Alluvium and Zones 1 and 3 of the Upper Gallup Sandstone. • New Mexico ceded uranium mill licensing authority to NRC in June 1986. • August 1986, EPA and NRC signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for coordination of UNC's reclamation and ground water remediation activities. NRC is designated the lead federal agency and is responsible for surface reclamation and source control. EPA is responsible for ground water remediation. • UNC submits draft reclamation plan to NRC in 1987. EPA completed RI/FS and issued Record of Decision (ROD) in September 1988. EPA selected ground water extraction and evaporation remedy to address ground water contamination at the site. The remedy incorporated the corrective action plan previously required by NRC. • Reclamation construction activities commence in 1988, three years prior to final approval of reclamation plan. • Remedial Design for tailings seepage remediation was approved by EPA on September 12, 1989. • Remediation of ground water commenced in the fall of 1989. • Reclamation plan was approved by NRC in 1991 • UNC completed mill decommissioning, decontamination, and placement of the interim cover on the tailings site by November 1993. • At the request of UNC, NRC has modified its license to allow the mill site and the buildings area for unrestricted use. The restricted area is now limited to the tailings site. The modification was approved by NRC in April 1995. • The First Five-Year Review was completed by EPA on September 25, 1998. Based on the review, EPA concluded that the reduction of contaminant levels to cleanup standards in ground water had not yet been achieved. EPA also concluded that the continued operation of the ground water remedial systems for the Southwest Alluvium and Zone 1 would not achieve the established cleanup standards within a reasonable time frame due to low water saturations and production at the extraction wells. Further, the operation of the remedial system for Zone 3 would not provide an effective hydraulic barrier to contaminant migration. Such pumping appeared to successfully dewater most of the target area, but may also have pulled contaminated ground water down gradient. • UNC discontinued operation of the remedial systems for Zone 1 in July 1999 due to lack of water production. UNC continues to perform water quality monitoring. United Nuclear 2 December 2012 012583 ------- • A temporary shutdown of the Southwest Alluvium groundwater recovery system was conducted beginning in January 2001 to evaluate the effectiveness of the current remedial system and natural attenuation. Quarterly ground water monitoring was performed as part of this evaluation through June of 2002. • In July 2002, UNC installed four new monitoring wells in Zone 3 to define the leading edge of the contaminant plume and evaluate whether the plume has stabilized or continues to migrate down gradient. UNC continues to collect monthly water quality data from Zone 3 as part of the evaluation. • In November 2002, UNC submits a report on the 18-month natural attenuation test for the Southwest Alluvium and an evaluation of the technical impracticability for attaining cleanup standards. • In January 2003 EPA issued a community fact sheet announcing the start of its Second Five-Year Review. • In September 2003 the Second Five-Year Review was completed by the EPA. Significant decreases in pumping rates have occurred over time for Zone 1 and Zone 3 due to insufficient natural recharge. The volume of water decreased to levels which did not support pumping. Additionally, pumping in Zone 3 was accelerating the movement of contaminants toward the UNC property boundary to the northeast. Therefore, those systems were shut off. For the shallow alluvium, little progress was made in achieving the cleanup standards for some contaminants and the pumps were shut off to evaluate whether contaminant levels would decrease (attenuate) naturally over time. • In January 2008, The EPA issues a Public Notice announcing the start of the Third Five-Year Review. • In February 2008, the EPA issues a Fact Sheet on the status of ground water cleanup for United Nuclear Corporation. • In December 2008, the Third Five-Year Review was completed by the EPA. Based on the review, the EPA concluded that the remedy for the Site is currently considered protective of human health and the environment because there is no evidence that that there is an exposure. • Beginning in 2012 the EPA evaluated disposal options at the UNC Site in support of the Non-Time-Critical Removal Action Memorandum for the Northeast Church Rock (NECR) Site that EPA signed in 2011. In the Non-Time-Critical Removal Action Memorandum, EPA decided to permanently dispose of approximately 1,000,000 cubic yards of mine waste from the NECR Site at the UNC Site. The plan is based on more than two years of work and over 10 public meetings with the local community, the Navajo Nation, and others to ensure that EPA heard, considered and addressed the questions and concerns of all stakeholders. United Nuclear 3 December 2012 012584 ------- • In July 2012, EPA issued a Proposed Plan to dispose of mine waste from the NECR Site within the existing tailings cells at the UNC Site. The Proposed Plan was called The Surface Soil Operable Unit Proposed Plan. • In August 2012, EPA held two public meetings to discuss the Surface Soil Operable Unit Proposed Plan. • The EPA began work on the 4th Five Year Review of the ground-water remedy for the site. The EPA will evaluate the performance of the ground-water remedy to determine if it is still protective. Efforts to enhance the remedial system program through monitoring, natural attenuation, hydraulic injection pumping, updated risk assessment, and feasibility studies are also included and will be evaluated. The EPA's fourth five-year review is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2013. 2.2 Site Description/Location The location of the site is 17 miles northeast of Gallup, New Mexico. It is located on the southern border of Navajo reservation. The surrounding area is sparsely populated, with the nearest residence located 1 % miles from the site. A Navajo Indian Reservation lies Vi mile to the north of the site. There are four water wells that are within a 4-mile radius, the nearest being 2 miles northeast of the site; however, nearby residents generally have used bottled water for drinking, since the well water had a bad taste. The nearest drinking water well is 1.7 miles away. The site is underlain by the Upper Gallup Sandstone Formation and Southwest Alluvial aquifer.

UNC utilizes extraction wells to pump the contaminated ground water and evaporation ponds for water disposal. UNC also monitors the performance of the remedial systems on a quarterly basis to evaluate the effectiveness of those systems in achieving the established cleanup standards and to delineate the current extent of seepage impacts in ground water. Section 3.0 Community Background 3.1 Community Profile Gallup, New Mexico was founded in 1881 and has a total area of 13.4 square miles. Gallup is the county seat of McKinley County. This region of McKinley County, New Mexico is sparsely populated. As of the 2010 Census the population of Gallup is 21,678. The ethnic population of Gallup is shown on the chart below. Gallup, New Mexico is about 17 miles from the site. Navajo Nation Tribal Members makes up the vast majority of residents who live near the site. The Navajo Chapter House nearest to the site is the Pinedale Chapter House. A major concern of both the residents of Gallup and Tribal members of the Navajo Nation has been potential water well contamination, but no actual well contamination has been noted in either the city of Gallup or on the Navajo Reservation. Interest in the Rio Puerco continues with water hookups as the primary request. Ethnicity Population Native American 43% Hispanic 31% Caucasian 22% Asian American 2% African American 1% Pacific Islander 0.09% As of the U.S. census of 2010 United Nuclear 5 December 2012 012586 ------- 3.2 History of Community Involvement • Community Involvement Plan: Developed June 1984, revised May 1989, January 2004, May 2008, February 2009, and December 2012. • Open houses and workshops: August 1988, February 1992, November 1998, and May 2009. • Original Groundwater Operable Unit Proposed Plan Fact Sheet and Public Meeting: August 1988 • Original Groundwater Operable Unit ROD Fact Sheet: October 1988 • Surface Soil Operable Unit Proposed Plan Fact Sheet and Public Meetings: August 2012 • Milestone Fact Sheets: May 1990, June 1991, February 1992, October 1998, January 2003, and August 2012. 3.3 Key Community Concerns 1. The Major concern is the potential impact of site contamination on the health of the residents and their livestock. 2. Legislation to federally fund uranium mining. 3. There is concern that the standard of determining ground water contamination levels will be determined by post mining levels as opposed to pre mining levels. 4. The community is concerned that the Upper Gallup aquifer is contaminated because it lies under the site. 3.4 Response to Community Concerns 1. A Public Health Assessment was conducted for the Site. The ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry), is not aware of any health issues attributable to the Site and there is no evidence of exposure to Site contamination. A barbed wire fence was put up to stop residents and ranchers from allowing their livestock to graze on site property. However, UNC has indicated to EPA that ranchers are cutting the barbed wire fence on the East side to drive their cattle onto the Site for grazing. The Navajo EPA dispatched a Navajo Nation Ranger to the Site when this occurred. The Ranger informed the rancher of the trespassing violation and wrote up a notice with pending fines for continued violations. 2. A Navajo environmental group is advocating that New Mexico's congressional delegation block legislation that would provide $30 million in federal money to further develop a controversial uranium-mining process. United Nuclear 6 December 2012 ------- 3. The aquifers did not contain water below the site prior to uranium mining. With the advent of mine waste water and post-mining pre-tailing discharge there is no standard to determine pre-mining water contamination levels. 4. Upper Gallup in Zone 1 and Zone 3 is contaminated beneath the UNC site. However, currently the water is not being used for a drinking water in the nearby vicinity of UNC. Section 4.0 EPA's Community Involvement Program The overall goal of EPA's community involvement program is to promote two-way communication between citizens and the EPA and to provide opportunities for meaningful and active involvement by the community in the cleanup process. EPA will implement the community involvement activities described below. The following plan is based on the results of the community interviews described earlier; it addresses each issue that was identified as being important to the community. 4.1 The Plan The community at large will be kept informed of all activities relevant to public health and the environment by means of an updated mailing list.
