We also feel each action in the disposal process must not preclude further<br />

actions which might be desireabie for other aspects of the entire system. Furthermore,<br />

an adequate tracer and monitoring system should be established which should<br />

extend into the postclpsure period for a long time.<br />

One of our concerns is that the U.S. DOE must use the same environmental<br />

standards as the Nuclear Waste Policy Act intended and not bypass them under the<br />

Atomic Energy Act. Defense waste standards should comply with state and federal<br />

requirements to assure protection of .groundwater quality.<br />

League members agree that the solution should be as cost effective as passible,<br />

but the cast issue should not determine the choice of the disposal alternative. In<br />

that regard, we are gravely concerned about the tone of the draft <strong>EIS</strong> which seems<br />

biased against the geologic disposal alternative due to cost.<br />

In reviewing the draft <strong>EIS</strong>. and co mm ents of others, we concur with the states'<br />

of Oregon and Washington , requesting more information an the four alternatives proposed<br />

and inclusion of discussin g of the other 23 disposal methods not discussed.<br />

For example. Washington's Department of Social and Health Services Office of<br />

Radiation Protection in its draft review paper questions the reliability of the<br />
