<br />• How would the spill be contained? <br />What impacts could be expected if the spill occurred <br />during a rain or snow storm? <br />What special efforts would be taken to protect the <br />public from excessive exposure? <br />How would the hazardous material be removed? <br />What long-term hazard, if any, can be expected to <br />remain at the spill site, and how would this affect <br />highway maintenance operations? <br />What special emergency response procedures would be <br />required for contaminated or other hazardous materials <br />transported during the decommissioning process? <br />Res onse <br />Except for statement given below, the emergency response <br />procedures are stated in Section 5.3. <br />The emergency response procedures for an accident occurring <br />• during transport of materials accumulated from the decommis- <br />sioning process are the same as those given in Section 5.3. <br />As part of the decommissioning process for the ore sorter, <br />all equipment and material is to be washed. There should <br />therefore, be no radioactive dust. <br />Comment <br />COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF LOCAL AFFAIRS <br />Division of Plannin <br />Philip H. Schmuck, Director) <br />14-1.1 - Although it is not addressed in the application, it would <br />seem that the ore to be hauled after sorting from the <br />Schwartzwalder Mine to the Canon Gity Plant will be more <br />concentrated and more radioactive than normal loads of See Attachment <br />yellowcake. If this is true, the hazard potential in the <br />event of a transportation accident would be increased. <br />While Berta Brothers Trucking apparently had an enviable <br />record of safety in connection with the Schwartzwalder Mine, <br />accidents are always a possibility. For this reason, you <br />may wish to consider restrictions on the route between the <br />mine and plant to ensure that the ore is carried over roads <br />that are less crowded. <br /> <br />CDH-4 <br />
