Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 20, 2010 / Notices
NRC staff, as part of its review of
Powertech’s application, is preparing a
draft SEIS for public comment that will
tier off of the ISR GEIS (NUREG–1910).
While NRC’s Part 51 regulations do not
require scoping for SEISs, the NRC staff
is planning to place ads in newspapers
serving communities near the proposed
site, requesting information and
comments from the public regarding the
proposed action. NRC staff may also use
relevant information gathered during
scoping for the GEIS to define the scope
of the SEIS. In preparing the SEIS, the
NRC staff is consulting with Bureau of
Land Management; Region 8
Environmental Protection Agency; U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service; U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers; South Dakota
Department of Environment and Natural
Resources; South Dakota State Historic
Preservation Office; potentially
interested Tribes and public interest
groups; South Dakota Game and Fish
Department; and the Forest Service.
The NRC has begun evaluating the
potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposed ISR
facility in parallel with the ongoing
safety review of the license application.
The environmental evaluation will be
documented in draft and final SEISs in
accordance with NEPA and NRC’s
implementing regulations contained in
10 CFR Part 51.

2.0
Dewey-Burdock ISR Facilities
The facilities, if licensed, would
include a central processing plant,
satellite facility, accompanying
wellfields (including injection and
production wells), and ion exchange
columns. The ISR process involves the
dissolution of the water-soluble
uranium from the mineralized host
sandstone rock by pumping oxidants
(oxygen or hydrogen peroxide) and
chemical compounds (sodium
bicarbonate) through a series of
injection wells. The uranium-rich
solution is transferred from production
wells to either the central processing
plant or satellite facility for uranium
concentration using ion exchange
columns. Final processing is conducted
in the central processing plant to
produce yellowcake, which would be
sold to offsite facilities for further
processing and eventual use as
commercial fuel in nuclear power
reactors.
3.0
Alternatives To Be Evaluated
No-Action—The no-action alternative
would be to deny the license
application. Under this alternative, the
NRC would not issue the license. This
serves as a baseline for comparison.

Jkt 220001
Proposed action—The proposed
federal action is to issue a license
authorizing the possession and use of
source material at the proposed ISR
facilities. The license review process
analyzes the safety and environmental
issues related to the construction,
operation, and decommissioning of the
ISR facilities, and the restoration of the
aquifer from which the uranium would
be extracted. The ISR facilities would be
located near Edgemont, South Dakota in
Custer and Fall River Counties. The
applicant would be issued an NRC
license under the provisions of 10 CFR
Part 40.
Other alternatives not listed here may
be identified through the environmental
review process.
4.0 Environmental Impact Areas To
Be Analyzed
The following areas have been
tentatively identified for analysis in the
SEIS:
• Land Use: Plans, policies, and
controls;
• Transportation: Transportation
modes, routes, quantities, and risk
estimates;
• Geology and Soils: Physical
geography, topography, geology, and
soil characteristics;
• Water Resources: Surface and
groundwater hydrology, water use and
quality, and the potential for
degradation;
• Ecology: Wetlands, aquatic,
terrestrial, economically and
recreationally; important species, and
threatened and endangered species;
• Air Quality: Meteorological
conditions, ambient background,
pollutant sources, and the potential for
degradation;
• Noise: Ambient, sources, and
sensitive receptors;
• Historical and Cultural Resources:
Historical, archaeological, and
traditional cultural resources;
• Visual and Scenic Resources:
Landscape characteristics, manmade
features and viewshed;
• Socioeconomics: Demography,
economic base, labor pool, housing,
transportation, utilities, public services/
facilities, and education;
• Environmental Justice: Potential
disproportionately high and adverse
impacts to minority and low-income
populations;
• Public and Occupational Health:
Potential public and occupational
consequences from construction,
routine operation, transportation, and
credible accident scenarios (including
natural events);
• Waste Management: Types of
wastes expected to be generated,
handled, and stored; and
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Cumulative Effects: Impacts from
past, present, and reasonably
foreseeable actions at and near the
site(s).
This list is not intended to be all
inclusive, nor is it a predetermination of
potential environmental impacts.
5.0 The NEPA Process
The SEIS for the Dewey-Burdock
Uranium Project will be prepared
pursuant to the NRC’s NEPA regulations
at 10 CFR Part 51. The NRC will
conduct its environmental review of the
application and as soon as practicable,
the NRC and its contractor will prepare
and publish a draft SEIS. The NRC
currently plans to have a 45-day public
comment period for the draft SEIS.
Availability of the draft SEIS and the
dates of the public comment period will
be announced in the Federal Register
and the NRC Web site: https://
www.nrc.gov. The final SEIS will
include responses to public comments
received on the draft SEIS.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day
of January, 2010.
