Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to add new health and environmental protection standards to regulations promulgated under the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA). The Act regulates the extraction and management of uranium byproduct materials produced by uranium recovery. The proposed standards will regulate residual radioactivity and uranium byproduct materials produced by in-situ uranium recovery, including both surface and subsurface standards, with primary focus on ground water protection and restoration.
