Paul Bollwerk, III In the Matter of: POWERTECH USA, INC., (Dewey-Burdock In Situ Uranium Recovery Facility) Docket No. 40-9075-MLA ASLBP No. 10-898-02-MLA-BD01, April 29, 2019. ORDER (Granting NRC Staff Motion and Scheduling Evidentiary Hearing) On April 3, 2019, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff (NRC Staff) filed a motion to set a schedule for an evidentiary hearing in the abovecaptioned proceeding.1 Responses to the NRC Staff’s motion were filed on April 17, 2019, by licensee Powertech USA, Inc. (Powertech) and the NRC Staff,2 and on April 18, 2019, by intervenor Oglala Sioux Tribe.3 The Licensing Board conducted an all-parties telephone conference call on April 23, 2019, where issues raised by the NRC Staff’s April 3, 2019 motion were aired.4 1 [NRC Staff] Motion to Set Schedule for Evidentiary Hearing (Apr. 3, 2019) [hereinafter NRC Staff Motion]. 2 [Powertech] Response to NRC Staff’s Motion for Evidentiary Hearing (Apr. 17, 2019); NRC Staff Response to the Board’s April 5, 2019 Order (Apr. 17, 2019). The NRC Staff’s response was authorized by the Board to permit the NRC Staff to answer two questions about which the Board indicated it wished to have party responses. See Licensing Board Order (Setting Procedures to Address Motion to Set Schedule for Evidentiary Hearing) (Apr. 5, 2019) at 2 n.6 (unpublished). 3 Oglala Sioux Tribe’s Response in Opposition to NRC Staff’s Motion to Set Schedule for Evidentiary Hearing (Apr. 18, 2019) [hereinafter Oglala Sioux Tribe Response]. Although Consolidated Intervenors did not file a responsive pleading, the NRC Staff reported that Consolidated Intervenors opposed the motion. See NRC Staff Motion at 2. 4 Tr. at 1628–73. PO 00000 Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. Background The Oglala Sioux Tribe first raised its concern about the protection of cultural and religious resources in a proposed contention filed in 2010.5 This contention challenged the adequacy of the NRC Staff’s assessment of the impacts to Native American cultural, religious, and historical resources from Powertech’s Dewey-Burdock In Situ Uranium recovery facility. Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the NRC Staff issued its Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) on November 26, 2012, and its Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) on January 29, 2014. The Board then held an evidentiary hearing in Rapid City, South Dakota, from August 19–21, 2014, on this contention and six other admitted contentions.6 On April 30, 2015, the Board issued a Partial Initial Decision on the merits of those contentions.7 As relevant to this contention (now Contention 1A), the Board found that the NRC Staff failed to fulfill its NEPA obligation because the FSEIS did ‘‘not contain an analysis of the impacts of the project on the cultural, historical, and religious sites of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. . . .’’ 8 The Board concluded that ‘‘[w]ithout additional analysis as to how the Powertech project may affect the Sioux Tribes’ cultural, historical, and religious connections with the area, NEPA’s hard look requirement ha[d] not been satisfied, and potentially necessary mitigation measures ha[d] not been established.’’ 9 The Commission affirmed the Board’s Partial Initial Decision.10 On October 30, 2018, the Licensing Board issued LBP–18–5, which denied both the Oglala Sioux Tribe’s and NRC Staff’s motions for summary disposition of Contention 1A. LBP-18-5 presented the parties with the choice to either resume efforts to implement the site survey approach that had been previously agreed-upon by all parties (March 2018 Approach) or proceed to an evidentiary hearing.11 On November 30, 2018, the NRC Staff informed the Board that it chose to renew its efforts to implement the March 2018 approach.12 In periodic status calls, the parties 5 Petition to Intervene and Request for Hearing of the Oglala Sioux Tribe (Apr. 6, 2010) at 12–17. 6 LBP–15–16, 81 NRC 618, 633 (2016). 7 Id. at 708–11. 8 Id. at 655. 9 Id. 10 CLI–16–20, 84 NRC 219 (2016). 11 See LBP–18–5, 89 NRC 95, 134–37 (2018). 12 Letter from Lorraine Baer, NRC Staff Counsel, to Licensing Board (Nov. 30, 2018) (ADAMS Accession No. ML18334A295).
