Routine radiological surveys to monitor conditions of outdoor sites are performed by Westinghouse Hanford Company's Health and Safety Group. Areas surveyed include the road surfaces, radioactive waste sites (cribs, trenches, burial grounds, stabilized ponds and ditches), and unplanned release sites. A site-wide survey schedule is developed by Environmental Assurance. Environmental Review and Integration reviews the radiological survey reports and files a copy for historical purposes and reference. Radiological conditions are tracked and trends noted. All sites are surveyed at least once each year. The survey frequencies for particular sites are based on site history, radiological conditions, and general maintenance. Special surveys may be requested at irregular frequencies if conditions warrant. Radiological surveys are conducted on sites to detect surface contamination and document changes in vegetation growth, biological intrusion, erosion, and general site maintenance conditions. This report provides a summary of the radiological surveys performed on environmental waste sites near facilities located in the 100, 200, 300 and 600 areas. The First Quarter 1991 survey results and the status of actions required from current and past reports are summarized as follows: There were 117 routine environmental radiological surveys completed during January, February and March 1991. Five Surveillance and Compliance Inspection Reports (SCIR) were issued for sites found out of compliance with standards identified in the Environmental Compliance Manual, WHC-CM-7-5. Four SCIRs were closed as a result of corrective actions taken during the first quarter of 1991. Forty-three SCIRs, had not been resolved. Landlord responsibilities for the unresolved SCIRs are Hanford Restoration Operations (HRO) (29), B Plant(2) PUREX (1) and Tank Farm Operations (TFO)(11). 14 figs., 4 tabs.
