Re[2]: Status of NRC/EPA 25 vs 15 mrem criteria

[joseph_guido@radian.com (joseph guido)]

     We are in the process of negotiating cleanup criteria withen region 9 
     epa and they are telling us that the 15 mrem is not applicable for the 
     CERCLA site we are working on.  Funny thing is that the OSWER 
     directive that referances 15 mrem as 'generally protective ... " came 
     out of region 9 epa ... go figure.

I have a copy of  EPA's OSWER No. 9200.4-18,  signed August 22, 1997. 
Subject:  Establishment of Cleanup Levels for CERCLA Sites with Radioactive 
Contamination 
     
This document presents guidance and applies only to CERCLA sites, the 15 
millirem per year EDE is stated as "..should generally be the maximum dose 
limit for humans...".  
     
Does anyone have other references?
