LLRW - Colorado state permit granted for Clean Harbors' Deer Trail RCRA site

Recently the state of Colorado, under its NRC Agreement State authority, issued a radioactive materials permit to Clean Harbors to allow for limited disposal of certain low-activity waste at its Deer Trail facility. The decision by the state regulator to issue both a RCRA permit and a radioactive materials permit is one example of the potential of RCRA sites to safely accept some radioactive waste.

[Source: Gregory B. Jaczko (NRC Commissioner), "Can we expand low-level radioactive waste disposal to Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Hazardous Waste Facilities?", prepared statement for ACNW&A meeting, February 13, 2008, NRC No. S-08-006 -- ML080440417]
