SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering renewing 

License SNM–1107 to allow WEC to 

continue to operate its CFFF for an 

additional 40 years. The license renewal 

period of 40 years would begin once the 

NRC approves the renewal. As required 

by part 51 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Environmental Protection Regulation 

for Domestic Licensing and Related 

Regulatory Functions,’’ the NRC 

prepared an EA (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18120A318). Based on the results of 

the final EA, described as follows, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the license renewal, and is issuing a 

FONSI. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

WEC submitted a license renewal 

application in 2014 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML14352A111), which was updated 

in March 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18087A400) to operate CFFF for an 

additional 40 years. The 40-year 

timeframe would begin upon NRC’s 

approval of the license renewal 

application. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would allow 

CFFF to continue to be a source of 

nuclear fuel for commercial nuclear 

power plants. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC assessed the potential 

environmental impacts from the 

renewal of License SNM–1107 for an 

additional 40 years and determined 

there would be noticeable but not 

significant impacts to the quality of the 

human environment. WEC is not 

proposing any new construction or land 

disturbance activities. Although there is 

existing ground-water contamination on 

site, it has not migrated offsite or into 

the deeper aquifers and there is 

currently no pathway for human 

exposure. WEC’s environmental 

monitoring program will continue to 

provide information on existing groundwater contamination and help identify 

future unintended releases to the 

environment. If needed, WEC will 

implement corrective actions to address 

contamination in the surface water and 

ground water. NRC expects that WEC 

will continue to meet all local, State, 

and Federal requirements, including its 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System permit and its 

obligations with the South Carolina 

Department of Health and 

Environmental Control (SCDHEC) under 

its voluntary cleanup contract related to 

ground-water contamination. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC staff considered denial 

of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). The no-action 

alternative would mean that the NRC 

would not approve the license renewal. 

The CFFF would continue to operate 

under its current license until it expires 

on September 30, 2027. The NRC staff 

previously evaluated the environmental 

impacts of WEC continuing to operate 

the CFFF until September 2027 when it 

approved WEC’s license renewal in 

2007. The NRC staff concluded in the 

2007 EA that the continued operation of 

the CFFF site would not result in a 

significant impact to the environment 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML070510647). 

The impacts of the no-action 

alternative would be similar to those of 

the Proposed Action except the impacts 

of the no-action alternative would occur 

only until 2027, when the current 

license expires, and decommissioning

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 116 / Friday, June 15, 2018 / Notices 28015 

including any site remediation would 

occur sooner. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

On March 27, 2017, the NRC staff sent 

a copy of the draft EA to the SCDHEC 

for their review and comment (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML18088A415). The 

SCDHEC responded on April 27, 2018, 

with no additional comments on the 

draft EA (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18117A130). 

The NRC consulted with the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service (FWS) on listed 

protected species at the CFFF. The FWS 

concurred with the NRC’s determination 

that the proposed activity may affect but 

is not likely to adversely affect the six 

federally listed species (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML15161A543). In 

August 2017, the NRC submitted a 

Biological Evaluation to the National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) with 

the determination that the license 

renewal may affect but is not likely to 

adversely affect the shortnose sturgeon 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML17227A378). 

On April 12, 2018, the NMFS concurred 

with the NRC’s determination (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML18103A020). 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

Based on its review of the proposed 

action, and in accordance with the 

requirements in 10 CFR part 51, the 

NRC staff has determined that renewing 

License No. SNM–1107 for an 

additional 40 years would not 

significantly affect the environment. 

The NRC will require, by license 

condition, that WEC take corrective 

action if ground-water contamination 

exceeds State or Federal levels. The 

NRC staff has determined that pursuant 

to section 10 CFR 51.31, preparation of 

an EIS is not required for the proposed 

action and, pursuant to section 10 CFR 

51.32, a FONSI is appropriate. 

On the basis of the final EA, the NRC 

concludes that the proposed action will 

not have a significant effect on the 

quality of the human environment. 

Accordingly, the NRC has determined 

not to prepare an EIS for the proposed 

action.

of June 2018.
