or process source material at the 

proposed ISR facilities. The license 

review process analyzes the 

construction, operation, and 

decommissioning of ISR facilities and 

restoration of the aquifer from which the 

uranium is being extracted. The ISR 

facilities would be located in Campbell 

and Johnson Counties, Wyoming, 

approximately 46 miles south-southwest 

of Gillette, Wyoming and approximately 

61 miles north-northeast of Casper, 

Wyoming. The applicant would be 

issued an NRC license under the 

provisions of 10 CFR part 40. 

Other alternatives not listed here may 

be identified through the environmental 

review process. 

4.0 Environmental Impact Areas To 

Be Analyzed 

The following areas have been 

tentatively identified for analysis in the 

SEIS: 

• Land Use: Plans, policies, and 

controls; 

• Transportation: Transportation 

modes, routes, quantities, and risk 

estimates; 

• Geology and Soils: Physical 

geography, topography, geology, and 

soil characteristics; 

• Water Resources: Surface and 

groundwater hydrology, water use and 

quality, and the potential for 

degradation; 

• Ecology: Wetlands, aquatic, 

terrestrial, economically and 

recreationally important species, and 

threatened and endangered species; 

• Air Quality: Meteorological 

conditions, ambient background, 

pollutant sources, and the potential for 

degradation; 

• Noise: Ambient, sources, and 

sensitive receptors; 

• Historical and Cultural Resources: 

Historical, archaeological, and 

traditional cultural resources; 

• Visual and Scenic Resources: 

Landscape characteristics, manmade 

features and viewshed; 

• Socioeconomics: Demography, 

economic base, labor pool, housing, 

transportation, utilities, public services/ 

facilities, and education; 

• Environmental Justice: Potential 

disproportionately high and adverse 

impacts to minority and low-income 

populations; 

• Public and Occupational Health: 

Potential public and occupational 

consequences from construction, 

routine operation, transportation, and 

credible accident scenarios (including 

natural events); 

• Waste Management: Types of 

wastes expected to be generated, 

handled, and stored; and 

• Cumulative Effects: Impacts from 

past, present, and reasonably 

foreseeable actions at and near the 

site(s). 

This list is not intended to be all 

inclusive, nor is it a predetermination of 

potential environmental impacts. 

5.0 The NEPA Process 

The SEIS for the Nichols Ranch ISR 

Project will be prepared pursuant to the 

NRC’s NEPA Regulations at 10 CFR part 

51. The NRC will continue its 

environmental review of the application 

and as soon as practicable, the NRC and 

its contractor will prepare and publish 

a draft SEIS. NRC currently plans to 

have a 45-day public comment period 

for the draft SEIS. Availability of the 

draft SEIS and the dates of the public 

comment period will be announced in 

the Federal Register and the NRC Web 

site: http://www.nrc.gov. The final SEIS 

will include responses to public 

comments received on the draft SEIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

standard review plan (SRP) for the 

review of a license application for a fuel 

cycle facility (NUREG–1520) provides 

NRC staff guidance for reviewing and 

evaluating the safety, health, and 

environmental protection aspects of 

applications for licenses to possess and 

use SNM to produce nuclear reactor 

fuel. The licensing guidance revision is 

also intended to provide information 

needed to better risk-inform the 

preoperational readiness reviews. 

Specifically, items or features or aspects 

of the design identified during the 

licensing review as important, will be 

highlighted to verify compliance with 

specific commitments during the 

preoperational readiness reviews. 

The SRP has been updated to improve 

and enhance the guidance by providing 

increased clarity and definition in 

specific areas of the licensing program 

and adding additional guidance in areas 

where information was lacking or not 

suitably addressed. This effort was 

focused on improving both the clarity, 

and also consistency, of the SRP, with 

the Agency positions that support 

compliance with current regulations. In 

addition, this revision has been 

reformatted and reorganized to improve 

the consistency within the document.
