Homestake Mining Company; Notice

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has received, by letter dated December 18, 1996, an application from Homestake Mining Company (HMC) to amend License Condition (LC) 36 of Source Material License No. SUA-1471 to change certain reclamation milestone dates. The license amendment application proposes to modify LC 36 to change the completion dates for two site reclamation milestones. The new dates proposed by HMC would extend completion of (1) placement of final radon barrier on the Large Tailings Pile (LTP) by seven years, (2) placement of erosion protection on the LTP by five years, (3) placement of final radon barrier on the Small Tailings Pile (STP) by eleven years, and (4) shorten completion of placement of erosion protection on the STP by one year. The application cites technical infeasibility as precluding completion in accordance with the present license dates due to incomplete settlement of the LTP and evaporation ponds associated with the groundwater corrective action program located on the STP.
