Dear Mr. Landau:

COlOradO Department
of Public Health
and Environment
This letter transmits a copy of Amendment No. 7 to your Colorado Radioactive Materials License, 369-02 for
[he Colter Whitewater site, located in Mesa County, Colorado.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Endvnment, Radiation Control Division ("Department') is
issuing this amendment, which amends your license in its entirety. Please note that this action does not reduce
or substantively change your obligations as a Colorado licensee. This site was originally licensed under Part 3
of the Colorado Radiation Control regulations as an "ore transfer facility" based on [he precedent of the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These materials have been regulated under Part 3 of [he Radiation Control
regulations, because no processing or milling of uranium ore occurred a[ [he site.
The Department has determined [ha[ [he disposal alternatives of [he Cotter Canon City mill site and the JD-7
mine spoils pile, for the Whitewater wastes, are acceptable from [he point of view of health protection from
radiation. The wastes may be transferred to [he Canon City site under [he requirements of License Condition
(LC) 24.1 of the Cotter Whitewa[er license. The waste materials from the site may be returned to a source
material mine licensed under Part 3 of the Colorado Radiation Control regulations, as provided in Parts 35.4
and 3.22 of the regulations, and in LC 24.1 of your Whitewater license, provided that you obtain the permission
of the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG). Documentation of the
approval of the DMG needs to be supplied to the Department prior to disposal of the wastes at a DMG
regulated site.
This amendment includes changes [o your license which:
provide conditions for the decommissioning, decontamination and reclamation of the Whi[ewa[er site;
incorporates previously approved license amendments and satisfied license conditions;
corrects and standardizes regulatory citations which have changed;
