WVDP Phase 1 CSAP10.6.2 Additional Requirements for Samples Classified as Radioactive MaterialTransportation of radioactive materials is regulated by the DOT under 49 CFR 173.401. Samplesgenerated during project activities will be transported in accordance with procedures that ensurecompliance with regulatory requirements.
