Messrs. Ziemianski and SharifJanuary 31, 2012Page 2at the facility, and item 3, the request to modify the facility groundwater monitoring plan. TheDepartment approves these modifications in accordance with 20.4.1.900 NMAC (incorporating40 CFR § 270.42(b)). The Department has made some changes to the permit modificationrequest. Changes include revision ofthe ventilation language so that the requirement forventilation in an active remote handled waste room with workers present is not removed. Thisrevision to the proposed language is made several section of the permit so that the requirement isconsistent throughout the permit.Under 20.4.1.900 NMAC (incorporating 40 CFR § 270.42(b )(7)), the Department may deny aClass 2 permit modification request if the modification request is incomplete; it does not complywith applicable requirements; or it fails to protect human health and the environment. During itstechnical review of the modification request for shielded containers, the Department noted thatnumerous sections in Part 3, Attachment AI, A2, Cl, D, E and G must be revised to conform tothe permit modification. In addition, 40 CFR 270.42(b), Appendix I, item F.3.a states changes ofstorage of different wastes in containers that do not require additional or different managementpractices from those authorized in the permit are Class 2 changes. The use of shielded containersdoes not fit this category as the facility will not be using different waste but will be usingdifferent containers.Numerous public commenters identified similar issues with the modification request.Furthermore, the Department does not have sufficient information to correct the technicalinadequacies in the application and approve the modifications "with changes" under 20.4.1.900(incorporating 40 CFR § 270.42(b)(6)(i)(A)). Consequently, the Department is denying thepermit modification request to add provisions for shielded containers.Enclosed are the revised pages of the modified permit in redline-strikeout to help the readerrapidly identify each modification. Also enclosed is an electronic version of the modifiedpermit, dated January 31, 2012. An electronic version of the modified permit has been postedfor the public on the Department's WIPP Information Page athttp://www.nmenv.state.Dm.us/wipp/download.htmlThe enclosed revised permit also includes the two Class 1 permit modifications submitted sinceNovember 2011. A separate letter sent January 18,2012 addressed the specifics of thosechanges.The permit modification shall become effective thirty days after notice of the decision has beenserved on the Permittees pursuant to 20.4.1. 90 1.A(1 0) NMAC. Thus, the effective date is March1,2012.The Department will provide full response to all public comments under separate cover.
