SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Split Rock site is approximately 

2 miles northeast of Jeffrey City, 

Wyoming, in southeastern Fremont 

County. The Split Rock site is regulated 

under title II of the Uranium Mill 

Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 

(title 42 United States Code section 

7901 [42 U.S.C. 7901]). 

II. Discussion 

On October 30, 2023, the NRC 

concurred with the State of Wyoming’s 

determination that applicable standards 

and requirements for the protection of 

public health, safety and the 

environment had been met for the WNI 

Split Rock uranium mill tailings 

disposal site. WNI and the U.S. Bureau 

of Land Management transferred 

ownership of land at the Split Rock site 

to the DOE, as required by part 40 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), appendix A, 

criterion 11, prior to termination of 

WNI’s Source Material License by the 

State of Wyoming. By letter dated 

August 11, 2023, the DOE submitted the 

final Long-Term Surveillance Plan 

(LTSP) for the Split Rock disposal site 

for review and acceptance by the NRC. 

The NRC staff completed its technical 

review of the LTSP and determined that 

the LTSP satisfies the long-term 

surveillance requirements in 10 CFR 

part 40, appendix A, criterion 12, and 

10 CFR 40.28, for the Split Rock tailings 

disposal site. Additionally, the NRC 

prepared an environmental assessment 

(EA) for this LTSP in accordance with 

its regulations. Based on the EA, the 

NRC has concluded that a finding of no 

significant impact (FONSI) is 

appropriate. The FONSI was noticed in 

the Federal Register on October 30, 

2023 (88 FR 74211). 

III. Notice of Approval 

Accordingly, notice is hereby given 

that the NRC has accepted the LTSP for 

the Split Rock site. As documented in 

NRC’s letter dated November 7, 2023, 

acceptance of this LTSP established the 

DOE as the long-term custodian and 

caretaker of the Split Rock site under 

the general license specified in 10 CFR 

40.28. The State of Wyoming terminated 

WNI’s Source Material License No. 

WYSUA–0056 for the Split Rock site on 

October 31, 2023, and notified WNI by 

letter dated October 31, 2023. The NRC 

finds these actions complete all 

requirements for closure of the Split 

Rock site under the Uranium Mill 

Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978, 

as amended.
