Additionally, the final SEIS analyzes and compares the benefits and costs of the proposed action. In preparing this final SEIS, the NRC staff also considered, evaluated, and addressed the public comments received on the draft SEIS published on November 26, 2012 (77 FR 70486). Appendix E of final SEIS captures the public’s comments and the NRC’s responses. In doing so, the NRC staff evaluated site-specific data and information from the Dewey-Burdock ISR Project to determine if Powertech’s proposed activities and the site characteristics were consistent with those evaluated in the GEIS. The NRC then determined which relevant sections of, and impact conclusions in, the GEIS could be incorporated by reference. The NRC staff also determined if additional data or analysis was needed to assess the potential environmental impacts for a specific environmental resource area. The NRC documented its assessments and conclusions in the final SEIS. In addition to the action proposed by Powertech, the NRC staff addressed the no-action alternative, as well as alternative wastewater disposal options under the proposed action. All the alternatives were analyzed in detail. The no-action alternative serves as a baseline for comparison of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed action. After weighing the impacts of the proposed action and comparing the alternatives, the NRC staff, in accordance with 10 CFR 51.911(d), sets forth its recommendation regarding the proposed action. Unless safety issues mandate otherwise, the NRC staff recommends that the proposed action be approved (i.e., the NRC should issue a source material license for the proposed Dewey-Burdock ISR Project). The final SEIS for the proposed Dewey-Burdock project may also be accessed on the internet at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/nuregs/staff/ by selecting ‘‘NUREG–1910’’ or on the NRC’s DeweyBurdock ISR Project Web page at https:// www.nrc.gov/materials/uraniumrecovery/license-apps/dewey-burdock/ dewey-burdock-app-docs.html.
