60 Day Notice of Intent to Sue Over DOE’s Failure to Comply with the Resource Recovery and Conservation Act, (42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq); the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.); the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.); Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300 F, et seq.); the National Environmental Policy Act ( 42 U.S.C. § 4332 et seq.); the floodplain/wetlands requirements of 10 CFR 1021 et seq.; DOE Orders 5400.1, 5400.5; Plaintiffs’ rights to Due Process under the U.S. Constitution and the Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 701-706 (APA) in operation of facilities at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) including the High Level Liquid Waste Evaporator (HLLWE), the Process Equipment Waste Evaporator (PEWE), the Liquid Effluent Treatment and Disposal facility (LET&D), New Waste Calcining Facility (NWCF), Tank Farm Facility (TFF), the Service Waste System (SWS), the two Percolation Ponds, ancillary equipment and injection well at located at INTEC.
Dear Sirs/Madame ,
The Environmental Defense Institute, Inc. (EDI), Keep Yellowstone Nuclear Free, Inc. (KYNF), both non-profit public interest organizations, and David B. McCoy, resident of Idaho Falls, ID, (collectively “Plaintiffs”) hereby give Notice of Intent to Sue to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) , the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to the above statutes.
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires permitted operations for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. None of the above cited INEEL facilities located at the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Environmental Center (INTEC) operate with a RCRA permit. As shown below, the above cited INTEC facilities present an imminent and substantial danger to the public health and environment. With respect to the cited INTEC facilities, DOE has knowingly and systematically violated RCRA, the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Clean Air Act (CAA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Executive Orders and DOE Orders.
I. Summary of Issues
Construction for the High-Level Liquid Waste Evaporator (HLLWE) at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) was initiated in 1993 and operation of the HLLWE as a new facility began in 1996. The HLLWE has processed over 4 million gallons of high level radioactive liquid and mixed hazardous wastes without a RCRA permit. DOE is required but has failed to submit an application for a RCRA permit for the HLLWE. The HLLWE has operated at all times without a RCRA permit and without interim status.
The whole purpose of obtaining state and federal permits for a new facility in advance of construction and operation is to protect the public and environment from the operations of facilities which have not received proper scientific and regulatory scrutiny. The HLLWE has failed to comply with the RCRA requirements for new facilities. DOE failed to obtain a prerequisite RCRA permit 180 days before beginning construction.
Moreover, DOE has never complied with the statutory requirements to have obtained interim status for the HLLWE because the HLLWE was not “in existence” by July 3, 1986, i.e., under construction, in operation, or with unavoidable contractual commitments. Interim status is granted only by statutory compliance. Interim status cannot be conferred by a permitting agency, consent order or by merely listing a facility on the Part A application as DOE did for the HLLWE.
The LET&D was also a new facility that required a RCRA permit prior to its construction and operation. The LET&D never met statutory requirements to qualify for interim status because the LET&D was not in existence by 7/3/86. DOE failed to obtain a RCRA permit in advance of construction and operation of the LET&D.
The public has been denied opportunity for notice and meaningful hearings for the HLLWE and LET&D, prior to their construction and operation as new facilities, including the right to review plans, comment, receive written responses, review a draft permit and challenge the draft.
DOE failed to provide proper notice in the Federal Register for the HLLWE, the LET&D and the PEWE, required because they are actions within the floodplain. 10 CFR 1022 et seq. Floodplain requirements mandate an environmental impact statement and consideration of alternatives to constructing hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities in the floodplain above the Snake River Plain aquifer.
