DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The NRC has terminated License No. STC–1333, held by Stepan Company (Stepan), for a site in Maywood, New Jersey, and has approved the site for unrestricted release. Maywood Chemical Works processed thorium ore at its Maywood facility in northeastern New Jersey between 1916 and 1956. Radioactive contamination resulted from these processing operations and associated material storage and waste disposal practices. In 1959, Stepan Chemical Company (now Stepan Company) purchased the Maywood facility. In the late 1960s, Stepan took corrective measures at some of the former disposal areas by relocating approximately 19,000 cubic yards of thorium wastes and consolidating the wastes into three onsite burial pits. The three onsite burial pits were subsequently licensed by the NRC under materials license STC–1333. In 1983, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) included the Maywood facility on its National Priorites List for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). In 1984, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) assumed responsibility for remediating the Maywood facility (including the NRClicensed burial pits) and 87 other designated residential, commercial, and government properties that were contaminated by the thorium processing activities at the former Maywood Chemical Works. The Maywood facility was included in the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) along with the other 87 radiologically contaminated properties. In October 1997, the administration of FUSRAP was transferred from DOE to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In September 2003, the Record of Decision (ROD) for Soils and Buildings at the FUSRAP Maywood Superfund Site was issued. In the ROD, the specific concentration-based cleanup criteria for the radioactive contamination in soil for commercial properties (relevant to the Stepan burial pits) was determined to be an average of 15 picocuries/gram (pCi/g) of the combined radium-226 (Ra-226) plus thorium-232 (Th-232) concentrations above background, with an ‘‘as low as is reasonably achievable’’ (ALARA) goal of 5 pCi/g. The ROD also includes a criterion of 100 pCi/g above background for total uranium, which equates to approximately 50 pCi/g of uranium-238 (U–238). On October 21, 2008, the NRC executed a Confirmatory Order to SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [Docket No. 040–8610; NRC–2008–0591] 9517 E:\FR\FM\25FEN1.SGM 25FEN1
