alternatives carried forward for detailed
study, is disclosed in Chapter 2 of the
Final EIS.
6. Scoping Process: A Notice of Intent
to prepare a Draft EIS for the Proposed
Point Thomson Project was published in
the Federal Register on December 4,
2009. The Corps of Engineers conducted
public scoping, Alaska Native Tribal
consultations, and resource agency
meetings in AK prior to preparing the
Draft EIS. Over 300 issue-specific
comments were identified. Results from
the scoping process were summarized a
Public Scoping Document and are
addressed in the Draft EIS.
7. Draft EIS Review: The Draft EIS
comment period began November 18,
2011 with the publication of the Notice
of Availability in the Federal Register.
It was originally scheduled to end on
January 3, 2012 but was extended until
January 18, 2012 after requests for an
extension were received. Open house
and public comment meetings were
held between December 5–15, 2011 in
Anchorage, Fairbanks, Kaktovik,
Nuiqsut, and Barrow, AK. The Corps of
Engineers received over 240 comment
submissions during the comment
period. Over 660 individual comments
were recorded and responded to. Based
on comments received, errors in the
Draft EIS were corrected and sections
edited for clarity. The Final EIS is the
result of these changes and additions.
Overall impact findings did not change
between the Draft and Final EIS,
although some descriptions did change.

The U. S. Department of
Energy (DOE) announces the availability
of the Draft Surplus Plutonium
Disposition Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SPD
Supplemental EIS; DOE/EIS–0283–S2)
for public comment. DOE also is
announcing the dates, times and
locations for public hearings to receive
comments on the Draft SPD
Supplemental EIS. The Draft SPD
Supplemental EIS analyzes the potential
environmental impacts of alternatives
for disposition of 13.1 metric tons (14.4
tons) of surplus plutonium for which
DOE has not made a disposition
decision, including 7.1 metric tons (7.8
tons) of plutonium from pits that were
declared excess to national defense
needs. It also updates previous DOE
NEPA analyses on plutonium
disposition to consider additional
options for pit disassembly and
conversion, which entails processing
plutonium metal components to
produce an oxide form of plutonium
suitable for disposition, and the use of
mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabricated from
surplus plutonium in domestic
commercial nuclear power reactors to
generate electricity, including five
reactors at two specific Tennessee
Valley Authority (TVA) reactor plants.
DOE is not revisiting the decision to
fabricate 34 metric tons (MT) (37.5 tons)
of surplus plutonium into MOX fuel in
the MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility
(MFFF) (65 FR 1608, January 11, 2000
and 68 FR 20134, April 24, 2003), now
under construction at DOE’s Savannah
River Site (SRS) in South Carolina, and
to irradiate the MOX fuel in commercial
nuclear reactors used to generate
electricity.
TVA is a cooperating agency on this
SPD Supplemental EIS. TVA is
considering the use of MOX fuel,
produced as part of DOE’s Surplus
Plutonium Disposition Program, in its
nuclear power reactors.
DATES: DOE invites Federal agencies,
state and local governments, Native
American tribes, industry, other
interested organizations, and members
of the public to comment on the Draft
SPD Supplemental EIS during a 60-day
public comment period which starts
with the publication of the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Notice of Availability in the Federal
Register and ends on September 25,
2012. Comments received after this date
will be considered to the extent
practicable. DOE will hold public
hearings on the Draft SPD Supplemental
EIS; the dates, times and locations are
listed under SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.
