43584 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 143 / Wednesday, July 25, 2012 / Notices 

Site Building 235–F Safety, issued on May 9, 

2012, and I accept the Recommendation. 

DOE agrees with the Board that action 

must be taken to reduce the hazards 

associated with the material at risk that 

remains as residual contamination within 

Building 235–F. 

The Board acknowledged in its letter that 

DOE has taken action to de-inventory 

Building 235–F of special nuclear material. 

DOE has also taken action to remove the 

transient combustible material within 

Building 235–F and to limit access. In 

developing an Implementation Plan (IP), DOE 

will address all sub-recommendations with 

the ultimate goal of reducing, to the extent 

feasible, the radiological hazards from 

residual contamination and the fire hazards 

due to excessive combustible materials and 

electrical ignition sources. Operability and 

safety basis related concerns on fire detection 

and alarm systems will be addressed in the 

IP. Emergency response posture predicated 

on a potential radiological release from 

Building 235–F will also be evaluated to 

ensure its adequacy, including improvements 

in conducting drills necessary to demonstrate 

the overall effectiveness. 

DOE is committed to the safe design and 

operation of its nuclear facilities consistent 

with the principles of Integrated Safety 

Management, and values the Board’s input 

on how DOE can improve its activities. We 

look forward to working with the Board as 

we work to reduce the hazards posed by 

Building 235–F. 

I have assigned Dr. David C. Moody, 

Manager, Savannah River Operations Office, 

to be the Department’s responsible manager 

for this Recommendation. He can be reached 

at (803) 952–9468. 

Sincerely, 

Steven Chu

l. Project Description: The project 

would be located at an existing dam 

owned and operated by the Corps (St. 

Louis District). The existing Lake 

Shelbyville Dam was constructed in 

1963 for the purposes of flood control, 

recreation development, water supply, 

navigation release, and fish and wildlife 

conservation. In August of 1970, the 

Corps closed the gates to start the initial 

filling of the lake. The West Okaw and 

Kaskaskia rivers were inundated for 17 

miles upstream of the dam. 

The Lake Shelbyville Dam is an 

earthen embankment with an elevation 

of 643 feet above mean sea level (MSL). 

The dam is 3,025 feet long and rises 108 

feet above the river bed. The concrete 

spillway is located at 593 feet MSL and 

is topped by three Tainter gates that are 

approximately 45 feet wide by 37 feet 

high. The two regulating outlet 

structures release water through the face 

of the spillway. The impoundment 

above the Lake Shelbyville Dam, 

referred to as Lake Shelbyville, varies 

according to flood control operations 

controlled by the Corps. Lake 

Shelbyville has a maximum storage 

capacity of 684,000 acre-feet. Of the 

684,000 acre-feet of storage, 474,000 

acre-feet have been designated for flood 

control. The average depth of the 

reservoir is 16 feet and the maximum is 

67 feet. 

The proposed Lake Shelbyville 

Project would consist of: (1) A trash rack 

with 4-inch spacing integrated into the 

Corps’ existing west intake structure; (2) 

a steel liner installed in the Corps’ 

existing west outlet chamber 

transitioning to a bifurcation; (3) a 13- 

foot-diameter bifurcation and a river 

release valve installed at the west outlet 

structure; (4) a 13-foot-diameter 

penstock at the bifurcation after which 

it reduces to a 12-foot-diameter, 575- 

foot-long steel penstock; (5) a 60-footlong, 50-foot-wide, 68-foot-high 

concrete powerhouse containing a 6.8- 

megawatt Kaplan turbine-generator with 

a flow of 130 to 1,500 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) at a net head of 33 to 77 

feet; (6) an approximately 24.5-footwide, 30-foot-long, 6.7-foot-tall draft 

tube; (7) a 25 to 105-foot-wide, 49-footlong tailrace; (8) a 12.47-kilovolt, 407- 

foot-long buried transmission line 

connecting the project to an existing 

Shelby Electric Cooperative substation 

located 900 feet downstream of the dam; 

and (9) appurtenant facilities. The 

project boundary would include 3.24 

acres of federal lands owned by the 

Corps. The annual average energy 

production is estimated to be 20.3 

gigawatt-hours. 

The project would operate in a run-ofrelease mode utilizing releases from 

Lake Shelbyville as they are dictated by 

the Corps, with no proposed change to 

the Corps’ facility operation. Power 

generation would be seasonally variable 

as flow regimens and pool levels are set 

forth by the Corps. The project would 

generate power using flows between 130 

and 1,500 cfs. When flows are below 

130 cfs, all flows would be passed 

through the Corps’ existing outlet
