SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is issuing an amendment to
Materials License No. SUA–1350 issued
to Kennecott Uranium Company (the
licensee), to authorize the reclamation
of contaminated soil and ground water
at its Sweetwater Uranium Project near
Rawlins, Wyoming. NRC has prepared
E:\FR\FM\23MYN1.SGM
23MYN1
29544
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 98 / Monday, May 23, 2005 / Notices
an Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this amendment in
accordance with the requirements of 10
CFR Part 51. Based on the EA, the NRC
has concluded that a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is
appropriate. The amendment will be
issued following the publication of this
Notice.
II. EA Summary
The purpose of the proposed
amendment is to authorize the
remediation of soil and ground water
contaminated with diesel range organics
(DRO), radium-226, and minute
amounts of volatile organic compounds
at the licensee’s Sweetwater Uranium
Project. Specifically, the amendment
will allow the licensee to excavate
contaminated soils and extract
contaminated ground water from the
catchment basin area and dispose of
these contaminated materials (11e.(2)
byproduct material) within the existing
tailings impoundment.
On May 12, 2004, Kennecott Uranium
Company requested that NRC approve
the proposed amendment. The staff has
prepared the EA in support of the
proposed license amendment. Staff
considered impacts to land use, geology
and soils, water resources, ecology,
meteorology, climatology, air quality,
socioeconomics, historical and cultural
resources, public and occupational
health, and transportation. The staff
found that the impacts of the proposed
action were not significant because
these actions would remove
contamination sources and residual
contamination, and they will occur
within a small portion of the NRClicensed area that was previously used
as part of the milling process.
Consequently, these actions will prevent
the spread of contamination to
environmental resources without
causing significant impacts to historical
and cultural resources, local economy
and social resources, and transportation
networks.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the EA, NRC has
concluded that there are no significant
environmental impacts from the
proposed amendment and has
determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
IV. Further Information
Documents related to this action,
including the application for
amendment and supporting
documentation, are available
electronically at the NRC’s Electronic
Reading Room at https://www.nrc.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an amendment to
Materials License No. SUA-1350 issued to Kennecott Uranium Company (the
licensee), to authorize the reclamation of contaminated soil and ground
water at its Sweetwater Uranium Project near Rawlins, Wyoming. NRC has
prepared
[[Page 29544]]
an Environmental Assessment (EA) in support of this amendment in
accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 51. Based on the EA,
the NRC has concluded that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
is appropriate. The amendment will be issued following the publication
of this Notice.
II. EA Summary
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to authorize the
remediation of soil and ground water contaminated with diesel range
organics (DRO), radium-226, and minute amounts of volatile organic
compounds at the licensee's Sweetwater Uranium Project. Specifically,
the amendment will allow the licensee to excavate contaminated soils
and extract contaminated ground water from the catchment basin area and
dispose of these contaminated materials (11e.(2) byproduct material)
within the existing tailings impoundment.
On May 12, 2004, Kennecott Uranium Company requested that NRC
approve the proposed amendment. The staff has prepared the EA in
support of the proposed license amendment. Staff considered impacts to
land use, geology and soils, water resources, ecology, meteorology,
climatology, air quality, socioeconomics, historical and cultural
resources, public and occupational health, and transportation. The
staff found that the impacts of the proposed action were not
significant because these actions would remove contamination sources
and residual contamination, and they will occur within a small portion
of the NRC-licensed area that was previously used as part of the
milling process. Consequently, these actions will prevent the spread of
contamination to environmental resources without causing significant
impacts to historical and cultural resources, local economy and social
resources, and transportation networks.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the EA, NRC has concluded that there are no
significant environmental impacts from the proposed amendment and has
determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement.
