Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
prior to any permit action. The Corps
may ultimately make a determination to
permit or deny the proposed project or
a modified version of the proposed
project. The primary Federal concerns
are dredging, dredged material disposal,
addition of permanent structures in and
over navigable waters of the U.S., and
transport of dredged material for the
purpose of ocean disposal.
Pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the
LAHD will serve as Lead Agency in
preparing an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for its consideration of
development approvals within its
jurisdiction. The Corps and LAHD have
agreed to jointly prepare a Draft EIS/EIR
to optimize efficiency and avoid
duplication. The Draft EIS/EIR is
intended to be sufficient in scope to
address the Federal, state and local
requirements and environmental issues
concerning the proposed activities and
permit approvals.
1. Project Site and Background
Information. The project site is located
on Terminal Island within in an
industrial area of the East Basin region
of the Port of Los Angeles. The site is
within the Port of Los Angeles
Community Plan area in the City of Los
Angeles, adjacent to the communities of
San Pedro and Wilmington, and
approximately 20 miles south of
downtown Los Angeles. The purpose of
the project is to improve marine
shipping and maritime commerce by
optimizing the container-handling
efficiency and capacity at Berths 212–
224, accommodate berthing and
loading/unloading the largest container
ships, and increase on-dock rail
facilities to accommodate projected
peak increases in container movement
into and out of the terminal at Berths
212–224 resulting from the handling of
larger ships.
2. Proposed Action: The LAHD has
proposed to redevelop the existing
container terminal at Berths 212–224.
Yusen Terminals Inc. [YTI] operates the
existing 185-acre container terminal
under a lease agreement (LAHD Permit
No. 692). The proposed project would
result in dredging of approximately
25,000 cubic yards of sediment from
Berths 212–224 to increase depth at
existing berths; disposal of dredged
material at either an offshore site
(LA–2), confined disposal facility (CDF),
or other approved location; wharf
improvements including installation of
new subsurface sheet pile and king piles
to stabilize the existing wharf prior to
dredging, installation of four new 100gauge and modification (i.e.,
heightening, additional boom length) of

six existing gantry cranes for a total of
14 operational cranes at full build-out;
and backland improvements such as
additional on-dock rail, paving, coldplaning, etc., on approximately 160
acres of the site.
3. Issues: Potentially significant issues
associated with the project include:
Aesthetics/visual impacts, air quality
emissions, biological resource impacts,
environmental justice, geologic impacts
related to seismicity, hazards and
hazardous materials, hydrology and
water quality, noise, traffic and
transportation, and cumulative impacts
from past, present and reasonably
foreseeable future projects.
4. Alternatives. The Draft EIS/EIR will
include a co-equal analysis of several
alternatives. Project alternatives will be
further developed during this scoping
process. Additional alternatives that
may be developed during scoping will
also be considered in the Draft EIS/EIR.
5. Scoping Process. The Corps and
LAHD will jointly conduct a public
scoping meeting for the proposed
project to receive public comment
regarding the appropriate scope and
preparation of the Draft EIS/EIR.
Participation by Federal, state, and local
agencies and other interested
organization and persons is encouraged.
This meeting will be conducted in
English and Spanish.
6. Electronic Access and Filing
Addresses: Comments may be submitted
by electronic mail (email) to:
theresa.stevens@usace.army.mil.
Electronic mail comments should
include the commenter’s physical or
electronic mailing address, the project
title and the Corps file number.
7. The Draft EIS/EIR is expected to be
available for public review and
comment in the fall 2013, and a public
meeting will be held after its
publication.

(78 FR 11632). The publication
concerned notice of a hearing and
meeting on March 14, 2013, regarding
safety culture, emergency preparedness,
and safety issues at the Pantex Plant.
The Board stated in the January 22,
2013, hearing notice that the hearing
record would remain open until April
15, 2013, for the receipt of additional
materials.
Extension of Time: The Board now
extends the period of time for which the
hearing record will remain open to June
15, 2013, to further accommodate,
among other things, submission of
answers to questions taken for the
record during the course of the public
hearing.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Spent Nuclear Fuel Management at the
Savannah River Site
U.S. Department of Energy.
Amended Record of Decision.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is amending its August 7,
2000, Record of Decision (ROD)
pursuant to the Savannah River Site
Spent Nuclear Fuel Management Final
Environmental Impact Statement,
Aiken, SC (DOE/EIS–0279, 2000; SRS
SNF EIS). In the 2000 ROD, DOE
decided to develop and demonstrate the
‘‘melt and dilute’’ technology to manage
approximately 28.6 metric tons of heavy
metal (MTHM) of aluminum-clad SNF,
consistent with its preferred alternative
identified in the SRS SNF EIS.
DOE now amends that decision and
will manage approximately 3.3 MTHM
from the currently projected inventory
of 22 MTHM at SRS using conventional
processing 1 at the H-Canyon facility at
SRS, as described and evaluated under
the Conventional Processing Alternative
SUMMARY:
1 Conventional processing is a chemical
separations process that involves dissolving spent
fuel in nitric acid and separating fission products
from uranium using solvent extraction.
