NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 030–02278; NRC–2023–0147] 

Curators of the University of Missouri; 

South Farm 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact; 

issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a Finding 

of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and 

accompanying Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the unrestricted 

release of the Curators of the University 

of Missouri South Farm site located in 

Columbia, Missouri. Based on the 

analysis in the EA, the NRC staff has 

concluded that there would be no 

significant impacts to environmental 

resources from the proposed 

unrestricted release and, therefore, a 

FONSI is appropriate. 

DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in 

this document are available on October 

27, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

By letter dated November 9, 2018, the 

Curators of the University of Missouri 

requested the removal from License 24– 

00513–32 of the South Farm site located 

in Columbia, Missouri. The South Farm 

site, approximately 60 m by 23 m (200 

ft by 75 ft), was operated as a chemical 

waste disposal facility, including the 

radiological component, between 1969 

and 1972. As required by section 51.30 

of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Environmental 

Assessment,’’ the NRC prepared an EA 

that documents the NRC staff’s 

independent evaluation of the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the unrestricted release of the South 

Farm site. Based on the analysis in the 

EA, the NRC staff has concluded that 

there would be no significant impacts to 

environmental resources from the 

Curators of the University of Missouri 

proposal and, therefore, a FONSI is 

appropriate. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

By application dated November 9, 

2018, as supplemented by letters dated 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices 73887 

May 8, 2020, November 9, 2020, April 

19, 2022, and May 19, 2022, the licensee 

proposed the unrestricted release and 

removal from License 24–00513–32 of 

the South Farm site. The site is 

approximately 60 m by 23 m (200 ft by 

75 ft) and was operated as a chemical 

waste disposal facility between 1969 

and 1972. The chemical waste disposed 

of at the South Farm site also included 

a radiological component. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

Approval of the proposed action 

would permit additional remediation of 

the site (soil) for non-radiological 

constituents at a later time and allow 

the NRC to fulfill its responsibilities 

under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 

as amended (AEA), to ensure protection 

of the public health and safety and the 

environment by verifying that the site 

meets the requirements for unrestricted 

release in 10 CFR 20.1402, 

‘‘Radiological criteria for unrestricted 

use.’’ 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC’s evaluation of the proposed 

action is that the South Farm site will 

have minimal impacts on the 

environment to include future land use, 

geology and soils, water resources, 

ecology, air quality, and noise and will 

comply with NRC’s unrestricted release 

criteria pursuant to 10 CFR part 20, 

‘‘Standards for Protection Against 

Radiation.’’ 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the staff considered denial of the 

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ 

alternative). An alternate approach is 

not to release the area for unrestricted 

use. The consequences could 

significantly limit the ability of the 

Curators of the University of Missouri to 

remediate the site for non-radiological 

constituents at a later time and allow 

the NRC to fulfill its responsibilities 

under the AEA to ensure protection of 

the public health and safety and the 

environment. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The proposed action does not involve 

any different environmental resources 

beyond those considered in the final 

environmental statement. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

Between May 9, 2020, and May 19, 

2022, the NRC staff consulted with the 

State of Missouri’s Radiological Control 

Department regarding the 

environmental impact of the proposed 

action. The State of Missouri’s 

Radiological Control Department made 

comments which were addressed by 

NRC staff. On May 19, 2022, the State 

indicated that they did not have 

additional comments for consideration. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The NRC staff has concluded that the 

proposed licensing action, to release the 

South Farm disposal area as designated 

by the Curators of the University of 

Missouri for unrestricted use, would not 

significantly affect the quality of the 

human environment. The NRC staff 

considered the impacts on land use, 

transportation, geology and soils, water 

resources, ecology, air quality, noise, 

historical and cultural resources, visual 

and scenic resources, socioeconomic 

resources, public and occupational 

health, and waste management and 

concluded that radiological doses to 

members of the public would be below 

applicable limits in 10 CFR part 20. On 

the basis of the EA, the NRC finds that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts from the action, and that 

preparation of an environmental impact 

statement is not warranted. 

Accordingly, the NRC has determined 

that a FONSI is appropriate. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 51.32(a)(4), this 

FONSI incorporates the EA set forth in 

this notice by reference.
