SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is considering issuance of
amendments to Renewed Facility
Operating License Nos. DPR–70, DPR–
75, and NPF–57 issued to PSEG for
operation of Salem and Hope Creek,
located in Lower Alloways Creek
Township, Salem County, New Jersey.
Therefore, as required by Section 51.21
of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC
performed an environmental assessment
(EA) to document its findings related to
the proposed license amendments. The
PSEG submitted its license amendment
request by letter dated December 9, 2014
(ADAMS Accession No. ML14343A926),
and subsequently supplemented its
application by letter dated April 9, 2015
(ADAMS Accession No. ML15099A766).
A notice of consideration of issuance,
proposed no significant hazards
consideration determination, and
opportunity for a hearing for the
proposed license amendments was
issued in the Federal Register on April
14, 2015 (80 FR 20024). Based on
information provided in PSEG’s
application and associated supplement
and the NRC staff’s independent review,
the NRC did not identify any significant
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed license amendments.

Based on the results of the EA
documented herein, the NRC has
determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed license amendments and is
issuing a finding of no significant
impact (FONSI), in accordance with 10
CFR 51.32.
II. Environmental Assessment
Plant Site and Environs
Salem is a two-unit station with
pressurized water reactors that use a
once-through cooling system that
withdraws water from and discharges
heated water to the Delaware Estuary.
Hope Creek is a one-unit station with a
boiling-water reactor that uses a closedcycle cooling water system that includes
a natural draft cooling tower and intake
and discharge structures on the
Delaware Estuary. Both facilities also
withdraw water from the estuary for
their service water systems.
Salem and Hope Creek lie at the
southern end of Artificial Island along
the east bank of the Delaware River in
Lower Alloways Creek Township,
Salem County, New Jersey. Artificial
Island is a 1,500-acre (ac; 600-hectare
[ha]) man-made island consisting of
industrial lands, tidal marsh, and
grassland. The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers created the island by
depositing hydraulic dredge spoil
material atop a natural sand bar. The
average elevation of the island is about
9 feet (ft; 3 meters [m]) above mean sea
level (MSL), and the maximum
elevation is approximately 18 ft (5.5 m)
above MSL. The PSEG owns
approximately 740 ac (300 ha) at the
southern end of the Artificial Island, of
which Salem occupies 220 ac (89 ha)
and Hope Creek occupies 153 ac (62 ha).
The remainder of Artificial Island is
owned by the U.S. Government and the
State of New Jersey; this portion of the
island remains undeveloped. The
northernmost tip of Artificial Island
(owned by the U.S. Government) is
within the State of Delaware boundary.
Artificial Island lies approximately 8
miles (mi; 13 kilometers [km])
southwest of the City of Salem, New
Jersey, 17 mi (27 km) south of the
Delaware Memorial Bridge, 35 mi (56
km) southwest of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission
(AEC), the NRC’s predecessor agency,
and the NRC have previously conducted
environmental reviews of Salem and
Hope Creek in several documents, and
the descriptions therein continue to
accurately depict the Salem and Hope
Creek site and environs. Those
documents include the AEC’s April
