NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 40–9073; NRC–2009–0364] 

Uranium One Incorporated; Moore 

Ranch In-Situ Recovery Project; New 

Source Material License Application; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: Uranium One Incorporated 

(Uranium One) submitted an 

application for a new source material 

license for the Moore Ranch In-Situ 

Recovery (ISR) Project to be located in 

Campbell County, Wyoming, 

approximately 50 miles south-southwest 

of Gillette, Wyoming and approximately 

45 miles north-northeast of Casper, 

Wyoming. The application proposes the 

construction, operation, and 

decommissioning of ISR, also known as 

in-situ recovery, facilities and 

restoration of the aquifer from which the 

uranium is being extracted. Uranium 

One submitted the application for the 

new source material license to the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

by a letter dated October 2, 2007. A 

notice of receipt and availability of the 

license application, including the 

Environmental Report (ER) and 

opportunity to request a hearing was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 25, 2008 (73 FR 4642). 

The purpose of this notice of intent is 

to inform the public that the NRC, as 

part of its process to determine whether 

Uranium One’s license request should 

be granted, will be preparing a sitespecific Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (SEIS). The SEIS will 

tier off of the Generic Environmental 

Impact Statement for In-Situ Leach 

Uranium Milling Facilities (ISR GEIS). 

In addition, as outlined in 36 CFR 800.8, 

‘‘Coordination with the National 

Environmental Policy Act’’ (NEPA) the 

NRC plans to use its environmental 

review process to coordinate 

compliance with Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information on the NRC NEPA 

or the environmental review process 

related to the Moore Ranch ISR Project 

application, please contact the NRC 

Environmental Project Manager, Behram 

Shroff, at (301) 415–0666 or 

Behram.Shroff@nrc.gov. 

Information and documents 

associated with the Moore Ranch ISR 

Project, including the license 

application, are available for public 

review through our electronic reading 

room: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ 

adams.html and on the NRC’s Moore 

Ranch Site Web page: http://

also be obtained from NRC’s Public 

Document Room at the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission Headquarters, 

11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), 

Rockville, Maryland. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1.0 Background 

Uranium One submitted the 

application for the new source material 

license to the NRC for ISR facilities by 

a letter dated October 2, 2007. A notice 

of receipt and availability of the license 

application, including the ER, and 

opportunity to request a hearing was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 25, 2008 (73 FR 4642). No 

requests for hearing were submitted. 

Relying on the ISR GEIS, the NRC 

originally planned to document its sitespecific environmental evaluations by 

publishing draft Environmental 

Assessments (EAs) for comment. 

However, during the development of the 

final ISR GEIS, NRC decided to prepare 

an SEIS that will tier off of the ISR GEIS 

for applications to license new ISR 

facilities. Accordingly, draft and final 

SEISs will now be prepared for the 

Moore Ranch ISR Project. NRC staff met 

with Federal (Bureau of Land 

Management—Cheyenne, Casper, 

Buffalo; Bureau of Indian Affairs—Fort 

Washakie; Fish & Wildlife Service— 

Buffalo), State (Wyoming Department of 

Environmental Quality—Cheyenne, 

Sheridan; State Engineer’s Office; 

Governor’s Planning Office; State 

Historic Preservation Office) and local 

government agencies (City of Casper 

Planning Office; City of Gillette 

Planning Department, Town of Wright, 

and City of Douglas) and public 

organizations (Campbell County 

Economic Development Corporation; 

Wyoming Community Development 

Authority; Converse Area New 

Development Organization) in January 

2009 as part of a site visit to gather sitespecific information to assist in the 

preparation of the Moore Ranch ISR 

Project environmental review. NRC also 

contacted potentially interested tribes 

and local public interest groups via email and telephone to gather additional 

information. 

The NRC has begun evaluating the 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed ISR 

facility in parallel with the safety review 

of the license application. The NRC is
