Therefore, staff’s preferred alternative is 

to revise the 2001 Order with additional 

conditions. These include adding a perbatch, mass limit for stabilization not to 

exceed the concentration limits in 

Condition 1 of the exemption times 600 

kg of waste and continuing to restrict 

WCS from using magnesium oxide in 

stabilization, per Condition 2 of the 

exemption. The staff has concluded 

that, with these revised conditions, the 

conclusion in the 2001 EA associated 

with the 2001 Order remains valid. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

A draft copy of this EA was provided 

to officials from the State of Texas 

Department of Health (TDH). By an email dated August 11, 2004, the TDH 

recommended certain editorial changes. 

The NRC staff has modified the EA to 

address the TDH comments. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the EA, NRC has 

concluded that there are no significant 

environmental impacts from the 

proposed amendment and has 

determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement.
