SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing a license
amendment to Material License No.
SUA–1534, issued to Crow Butte
Resources, Inc. (the licensee), to
authorize an upgrade to the central
processing plant (CPP) and an increase
in the CPP flow rate at its main in situ
leach (ISL) facility near Crawford,
Nebraska. 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 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 an upgrade
to the CPP and increase the plant flow
rate at the licensee’s Crawford,
Nebraska, facility. Specifically, the
licensee is authorized to install a
maximum of six ion exchange columns
and four ancillary tanks that would
support a plant flow rate increase of
4,000 gallons per minute (gpm). The
total allowable plant flow rate will
increase to 9,000 gpm. On October 17,
2006, the licensee requested that NRC
approve the proposed amendment.
The staff has prepared the EA in
support of the proposed license
amendment. The staff considered
impacts to water resources, public and
occupational exposures, socio-economic
conditions, endangered and threatened
fauna and flora, historic and cultural
resources, geology, soils, transportation,
and air quality. This licensing action
involves installing new equipment
within the existing footprint of the CPP.
Consequently, no building construction
or surface disturbance is required to
implement this action. Furthermore, the
licensee will not open any new
wellfields as a result of this licensing
action, beyond those currently
addressed by its license. The staff,
therefore, does not expect the proposed
action to impact geology, surface water,
endangered and threatened fauna and
flora, transportation, and historic and
cultural resources.
NRC staff also does not expect
significant environmental impacts to
groundwater, socio-economic
conditions, soil, air quality, and public
and occupational exposures. The use of
pressurized downflow columns
minimizes the releases of radon, thus,
no significant impacts to air quality or
public and occupational exposures are
expected. Also, the licensee maintains
procedures for cataloging and
addressing system leaks, which
minimizes the impacts of such
occurrences; therefore, no significant
impacts to groundwater and soils are
expected. No significant impacts to
socio-economic conditions are expected
because implementing this action would
not result in significant staff increases.
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

Reading Room at https://www.nrc.gov/
