40 CFR Part 191 Subparts B and C, and 40 CFR 194 Monitoring Implementation Plan (Rev. 2)
Implementation of monitoring activities at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is important to ensure the predicted behavior of the repository. The Department of Energy (DOE) Compliance Monitoring Program (CMP) described in this Monitoring Implementation Plan meets the requirements of the radioactive waste disposal regulations in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 191, Subparts B and C, and the criteria in 40 CFR Part 194. The final monitoring activities selected to identify deviations from predicted long-term repository performance are as described in the Compliance Baseline. The Compliance Baseline includes; the WIPP Compliance Certification Application (CCA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Compliance Application Review Documents (CARDs), the Technical Support Documents (TSDs), and the EPA's Response to Comments regarding the certification of the WIPP. The long-term performance expectations for the disposal system are derived from conceptual models, scenarios, and assumptions developed for the WIPP Performance Assessment (PA), which was used to predict performance of the disposal system over a 10,000 year period. This plan describes the CMP, the requirements governing the program, the responsible organizations, and the reporting function used to inform the EPA of monitoring data that deviates from the expected values. The CMP monitors ten compliance monitoring parameters (COMPs) identified through PA and sensitivity analyses.
