Veritas DGC Land Inc. (Veritas) has notified the Department of Energy (DOE) through the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) of their intent to conduct a 3D Vibroseis acquisition project in Natrona County, Wyoming. The proposed property is contained in Sections 20, 21, 22, 28, and 28 of T 39 N, R 78 W, at Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 3 (NPR-3). Veritas is the seismic contractor for the Salt Creek 3D Project.
The proposed action is to implement the storage of TPBARs in the K-Area dry storage Transfer Bay for a period of up to two years. The Transfer Bay is proposed for the storage of TPBARs in a 10 CFR 71-certified shipping package that offers a high degree of protection for the tritiated rods. The shipping cask, its outer ISO container packaging, and the trailer portion of the tractor-trailer transporter would be parked in the Transfer Bay. The cask would remain in its assembled transport condition inside a closed ISO container for the duration of interim storage. The K-Area Transfer Bay has been de-inventoried and has been effectively retired. The TPBARs NAC-LWT cask would be placed on and covered with fire resistant canvas for storage.
