Background

The MML FUSRAP Site is in a highly developed area of New Jersey, approximately 30 miles west of New York City. Radioactive contamination at the MML resulted from receiving several thousand cubic yards of soil contaminated with radiological material generated at the Former Middlesex Sampling Plant (MSP) FUSRAP Site, which is located approximately a half mile from the MML. The MSP was a facility operated by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC; predecessor agency for the U.S. Department of Energy [USDOE]), which handled crushed uranium ore during its operation, and is designated as a separate site under FUSRAP. Between 1947 and 1948, the MML received approximately 6,000 cubic yards of soil contaminated with radiologic material generated at the MSP. The soil contained small quantities of uranium ore and was dispersed over approximately 3 to 5 acres of the MML as fill and cover material for sanitary landfill operations. At the time of MML’s operation, the current waste management regulations did not exist; it was not until 1976 that the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) was established to regulate the transport, management, and disposal of waste material.

Requirements

  • A pre-construction radiological survey to establish baseline Site conditions.
  • Excavation of soil and debris containing average concentrations of radium (Ra)-226 greater than 5 picocuries per gram (pCi/g) above background (i.e., FUSRAP-related materials). Background for this Site is 1.0 pCi/g for Ra-226. Therefore, the cleanup criterion is 6 pCi/g. Scanning and sorting excavated soil and debris to separate material greater than their respective unrestricted use Derived Concentration Guideline Level (DCGL; i.e., Ra-226 at concentrations greater than 5 pCi/g above background) from material less than their respective unrestricted use DCGL.
  • Sampling and analysis of sorted materials and transportation and off-site disposal of FUSRAP-related soils and debris at an approved facility.
  • Placement of non-radiologically impacted sorted soils and debris with concentrations below the unrestricted use DCGL within the excavated areas.
  • Backfilling and re-grading the remaining excavation areas with clean fill from off-site sources.
