SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is considering issuance of a
license amendment to the Department of
the Army (Army as the licensee) to
amend its License No. SUB–1435 to
authorize an alternate decommissioning
schedule pursuant to 10 CFR 40.42(g)(2)
for its facility at Jefferson Proving
Ground, Madison, Indiana.
License No. SUB–1435 authorizes the
licensee to possess depleted uranium in
the ‘‘impact area’’ of Jefferson Proving
Ground. The license amendment request

administrative review, documented in a
letter to the U.S. Army Garrison at Rock
Island Arsenal on June 15, 2005, found
the license amendment request
acceptable to begin a technical review.
If the NRC approves the license
amendment request, the authorization
for an alternate decommissioning
schedule will be documented in an
amendment to NRC License No. SUB–
1435. However, before approving the
proposed amendment, the NRC will
need to make the findings required by

I. Introduction
The NRC is considering issuance of a
license amendment to the Department of
the Army (Army or licensee) for License
No. 19–10306–02, to authorize
decommissioning for its facility at Fort
Belvoir, Virginia. NRC has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this action 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.
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
II. EA Summary
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The purpose of this proposed
amendment to License No. 19–10306–02
is to authorize the decommissioning of
the licensee’s Building 7304 at Fort
Belvoir, Virginia, for unrestricted use to
allow for license termination. The Army
was authorized by the NRC on March
31, 1989, to use radioactive materials for
research purposes at the site. On May
17, 2004, the Army requested that NRC
approve the decommissioning plan for
the facility which when completed
would permit the site to be released for
unrestricted use. Final approval for
release of the site for unrestricted use
and license termination would be
contingent upon NRC staff’s approval of
the licensee’s final status survey report
and making the findings required by the
Commission’s regulations following
completion of the licensee’s
decommissioning activities. The Army’s
request for the proposed amendment
was previously noticed in the Federal
Register on December 28, 2004 (69 FR
77779), with a notice of an opportunity
to request a hearing. No comments or
request for a hearing were received.
Following a Characterization Survey,
the Army found that there are elevated
levels of radioactivity on the floor of
Building 7304, in the soil beneath the
floor, in the wall storage vaults, and in
the floor vaults. These elevated levels
indicate the need for the removal of the
Building 7304 structure and any soil
that is above the soil screening criteria,
then transport of the contaminated
waste to an authorized disposal facility.
The NRC staff determined that all steps
in the proposed decommissioning could
be accomplished in compliance with the
NRC public and occupational dose
limits, effluent release limits, and
residual radioactive material limits. In
addition, the staff concluded that
approval of the decommissioning of
Building 7304 at Fort Belvoir, Virginia,
in accordance with the commitments in
NRC License No. 19–10306–02 and the
final decommissioning plan, would not
result in a significant adverse impact on
the environment.
If the NRC approves the license
amendment, the authorization will be
documented in an amendment to NRC
License No. 19–10306–02. However,
before approving the proposed
amendment, the NRC will need to make
the findings required by the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and
NRC’s regulations. These findings will
be documented in a Safety Evaluation
Report in addition to the EA.
The staff has prepared the EA
(summarized above) in support of the
Army’s proposed decommissioning. The
NRC staff has concluded that there will
be no adverse environmental impacts
associated with approving the Army’s
license amendment request for
decommissioning Building 7304. The
radiological environmental impacts
from the proposed amendment are
bounded by the impacts evaluated by
NUREG–1496, Volumes 1–3, ‘‘Generic
Environmental Impact Statement in
Support of Rulemaking on Radiological
Criteria for License Termination of NRCLicensed Facilities’’ (ML042310492,
ML042320379, and ML042330385). The
staff has also found that the nonradiological impacts are not significant.
On the basis of the EA, the NRC has
concluded that the environmental
impacts from the action are expected to
be insignificant and has determined that
an environmental impact statement does
not need to be prepared for the action.
