(BWXT) and is maintained under Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license SNM-2001, which is in suspension during remediation activities. The SLDA site is located in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, about 23 miles (38 km) east-northeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The SLDA site is adjacent to the community of Kiskimere in Parks Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. The SLDA site is bordered by Kiskimere Road to the southwest and State Route 66 and the Kiskiminetas River to the northwest. A seasonal stream called Dry Run meanders along the northeast side of the site. The SLDA site occupies approximately 44 acres (17.8 hectares) and is bounded by the community of Kiskimere to the southwest and vacant undeveloped land to the southeast and northeast. The decommissioned Parks Nuclear Fabrication facility site is located adjacent to and northwest of the SLDA site. Infrastructure currently on the site includes a paved road, a 60,000 square foot material processing building, and a paved, two-acre final status survey pad. Land use within the vicinity of the SLDA site is mixed, consisting of small residential communities, individual rural residences, small farms with croplands and pastures, idle farmland, forested areas, and light industrial properties The radiological contamination at SLDA is primarily the result of disposal of radiologically contaminated waste from the nearby Apollo Nuclear Fuel Fabrication Facility. This facility was operated by the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Company (NUMEC) and used to convert enriched uranium to naval reactor fuel. Waste from other facilities potentially may have also been disposed of at SLDA. Radionuclides of concern include U-234, U-235, U-238, Pu-239, Pu-241, Ra-228, Th-232, and Am-241. 2.
