SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is issuing an amendment to
Materials License No. SUA–1475 issued
to Rio Algom Mining, LLC (the
licensee), to authorize the consolidating
and transporting of materials associated
with the lined evaporation ponds at its
Ambrosia Lake facility near Grants, NM.
NRC has prepared 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 proposed action is the relocation
of the lined evaporation ponds (Section
4 Ponds and Pond 9) at the Ambrosia
Lake facility. The action includes the
consolidation and removal of byproduct
material, transport of the material to the
disposal site and disposal of material in
accordance with NRC regulations.
In a letter dated November 1, 2004,
Rio Algom Mining, LLC (Rio Algom)
36663
submitted to the NRC, a Closure PlanLined Evaporation Ponds (Relocation
Plan) for its Ambrosia Lake uranium
mill facility. In a follow-up to the
proposed plan, Rio Algom submitted,
under letter dated January 28, 2005, a
response to a request for additional
information and a Revised Relocation
Plan. Rio Algom requested that the
Revised Relocation Plan be considered
initially by NRC so that work can
commence at the site. The staff has
prepared the EA in support of the
proposed license amendment. Staff
considered impacts to the land surface,
water, air, vegetation, public and worker
health and safety, cultural resources,
wildlife, and wildlife habitat. The staff
found that the potential impacts of the
proposed action are limited to the land
surface and are temporary due to
construction activities. The site Health,
Safety and Environment Management
System provides adequate assurances to
control impacts to the environment. The
proposed action will not result in
adverse impacts to cultural and historic
properties or impact any threatened or
endangered species. The overall
aesthetics of the area will improve.
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/
