Nashville, Tennessee - December 10, 2009
OutlineOutline
• DOECAP Overview
• Contractual Agreement Background
• Preliminary Contractual Agreement Requirements Review
• Path Forward / FY10 TSDF Audit Schedule
DOECAP Overview
• Audited facilities hold multiple DOE contracts
• 40 Annual qualification audits (30 analytical laboratories/10 TSDFs)
• TSDF audits led by DOE Federal employees
• Voluntary auditor pool – multiple DOE sites
• TSDF audits comprise 7 audit disciplines
• Annual Report / Annual ASP Workshop
Why HSS Performs“Consolidated” Audits
• To support Field Missions
• To provide valuable information to DOE field managers relative to waste treatment/disposal options for commercial waste vendors
• To minimize Departmental risks and liabilities
• To help assure accountability, tracking, and proper disposal of DOE waste
• To assist in keeping the pipelines open
Contractual Agreement Requirements
• Observed differing sets of contractual requirements and expectations
• Value in periodic contractual requirements review
• Assure audit scopes are consistent with contract requirements and not outside DOE expectations or requirements
• Program has expanded to non-radiological TSDFs– DOE risks/liabilities also exist for non-radiological TSDFs– NQA-1, Part 1, Basic Requirements apply
TSDF Contracts Review
• Program historically reviewed TSDF contract information in 2004-2005 in relation to existing audit checklists
• At least one facility expressed concern that the extent of the current audit scope exceeded the bounds of their contract obligations
• The Program is starting to incorporate non-radiological TSDF operations in the audit process
DOECAP Course of Action
• Collect contract and SOW information from DOECAP POCs and contractor POCs and perform an internal review and comparison
• Distribute DOECAP audit checklists to a focused group of DOECAP POCs and contractor POCs, requesting their review of contracts and SOWs against the audit checklists, and provide feedback
• Distribute the checklists to the TSDFs themselves, requesting them to review versus their contracts, and provide feedback
Initial Inquiry to the DOECAP Community
Received Substantial Responses From:

Quality Assurance Requirements
• “For work performed by the Subcontractor at its facilities, the Subcontractor shall have a DOECAP approved quality assurance program or other Quality Assurance Program (QAP) as part of its overall waste certification program. If the Subcontractor has other than a DOECAP approved QAP, the QAP shall implement the requirements of ASME NQA-1-2000.”
• “The Supplier shall maintain and implement a quality management system that has been evaluated and accepted by the DOECAP specifically for TSD Facilities.”
• “The Subcontractor shall have a QA program (Reference NQA-1) in place and shall provide the Company with a copy of such.”
Treatment & Storage
• “Ensure all material is treated/disposed within 90 days from the date the waste was shipped”
• “Treatment shall occur within 12 months of waste being received at the treatment facility.”
• “shall be notified, immediately by phone and follow up in writing, of any waste not treated/destroyed within one year of receipt for RCRA waste or within one year of the generation date for PCB waste”
• “The Subcontract shall notify in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to exceeding any storage limit.”
Sampling & Analyses
• “All sampling, sample handling, analysis, data management, QA/QC procedures shall be in accordance with the EPA document, “Test Methods for Evaluation of Solid Waste. Physical/Chemical Methods,” SW-846 unless applicable state law or permit provisions impose different requirements that are inconsistent with SW-846.”
• “Laboratories that the Subcontractor intends to use for analytical services must be audited by the Department of Energy Consolidated Audit Program (DOECAP).”
