Pathfinder Mines Corp.; Amendment of Source Material License

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has amended Pathfinder Mines Corporation's (PMC's) Source Material License SUA-442 to include reclamation milestone dates. This amendment was requested by PMC by its letter dated March 26, 1996, and the receipt of the request by NRC was noticed in the Federal Register on April 5, 1996. The license amendment adds License Condition 50 to include completion dates for various site-reclamation milestones. The schedule proposed by PMC and accepted by the NRC staff is as follows: (1) Windblown tailings retrieval and placement on the tailings pile, December 31, 1997. (2) Placement of an interim cover over tailings, December 31, 1997. (3) Placement of final radon barrier, December 31, 1999. (4) Placement of erosion protection, December 31, 2000. (5) Completion of groundwater corrective actions, December 31, 2005. An environmental assessment is not required since this action is categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11), and an environmental report from the licensee is not required by 10 CFR 51.60(b)(2).
