DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Floodplain Statement of Findings for

Operable Unit 2 Removal Action No. 30

at the Fernald Environmental

Management Project

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Floodplain statement of

findings.

SUMMARY: This is to give notice of DOE’s

planned actions for the Fernald

Environmental Management Project

(FEMP), located approximately 18 miles

(29 kilometers) northwest of downtown

Cincinnati, Ohio. The subject of this

Floodplain Statement of Findings is

Operable Unit 2 Removal Action No. 30.

DOE proposes to protect human health

and the environment by excavating

contaminated sediments and

constructing a seepage collection system

to prevent leaching and infiltration of

contaminated sediments into the Great

Miami Aquifer. Excavation and

construction activities associated with

implementation of this action would

involve a small portion of the floodplain

along Paddys Run in Hamilton County,

Ohio. In accordance with Executive

Order 11988 and 10 CFR 1022, DOE

prepared a floodplain assessment

describing the effects, alternatives and

measures designed to avoid or minimize

potential harm to or within the affected

floodplain. The assessment found that

the proposed action would have

minimal temporary or long-term

impacts on the floodplain.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by the DOE at the following

address on or before May 17, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments and/or

requests for further information,

including a site map, to: Mr. Wally

Quaider, Acting Associate Director,

Office of Safety & Assessment, U.S.

Department of Energy, Fernald Area

Office, P.O. Box 538705, Cincinnati,

Ohio 45253–8705, Phone: (513) 648–

3137, Facsimile: (513) 648–3077.

FURTHER INFORMATION: For further

information on general DOE floodplain

and wetland environmental review

requirements, contact: Ms. Carol

Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA

Policy and Assistance, EH–42, U.S.

Department of Energy, 1000

Independence Avenue, SW,

Washington, D.C. 20585, Phone: (202)

586–4600 or 1–800–472–2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

Floodplain Statement of Findings for

Operable Unit 2 Removal Action No. 30

at the FEMP has been prepared in

accordance with Executive Order 11988,

‘‘Floodplain Management,’’ and 10 CFR

Part 1022, ‘‘DOE Regulations for

Compliance with Floodplain/Wetland

Environmental Review Requirements.’’

A Notice of Floodplain Involvement was

published in the Federal Register (FR)

on April 13, 1995 (60 FR 18805) and a

Floodplain Assessment was

incorporated in the Removal Action No.

30 Work Plan. DOE is proposing to

protect human health and the

environment by excavating

contaminated sediments (in the low area

in the southeast corner of the South

Field) to prevent leaching of

contaminated sediments into the Great

Miami Aquifer, and by constructing a

seepage collection system to prevent

infiltration of contaminated sediments

into the Great Miami Aquifer. In order

to eliminate the threat of a release to

Paddy’s Run, limited excavation would

occur in the floodplain. Direct physical

impact to the floodplain would result

from the operation of heavy equipment

during excavation of contaminated

sediments and construction of a sump/

pump station and portion of a discharge

line within the floodplain. Potential

indirect impacts to the 100- and 500-

year floodplain, as a result of removal

activities involving the Inactive Flyash

Pile and South Field, include surface

water runoff and sedimentation loading

into the floodplain. Several alternatives

were considered and evaluated in

making this determination, including

no-action, removal of sediment/

construction of a seepage interceptor

system, and sediment removal/

construction of a seepage collection

system (i.e., the preferred alternative).

Direct and indirect impacts would occur

during the implementation of any action

alternative considered. However,

minimal or no change in flood

elevations would be expected. The

proposed removal action has been

designed to conform to applicable

Federal and State regulations, including

floodplain protection standards. Before

this action begins, approval would be

obtained from the Federal and State

agencies having jurisdiction.

DOE has determined that there is no

practicable alternative to the proposed

removal action and that this action has

been designed to minimize harm to the

100- and 500-year floodplain of Paddys

Run. Engineering controls (e.g., silt

fences, straw bales) will minimize any

indirect impacts such as runoff and

sediment deposition to the floodplain.

Backfilling activities following the

Operable Unit 2 Removal Action will

eliminate any long-term adverse

impacts.

1995.

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project Nos. 10822–000 10823–000–CT]

Summit Hydropower [Upper and Lower

Collinsville Projects]; Notice of

Intention To Prepare an Environmental

Assessment and Conduct Public

Scoping Meetings

April 26, 1995.

The Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (Commission) has received

applications for two original licenses for

the construction and operation of the

Upper Collinsville Project No. 10822;

and the Lower Collinsville Project No.

10823. The projects are located on the

Farmington River in Hartford County,

Connecticut.

The Commission staff has determined

that licensing these projects would not

constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment. Therefore, the staff

intends to prepare an environmental

assessment (EA) on the hydroelectric

projects in accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act. The staff’s

EA will objectively consider both site

specific and cumulative environmental

effects of the projects and reasonable

alternatives, and will include an

economic, financial and engineering

analysis.

A draft EA will be issued and

circulated for review by all interested

parties. All comments filed on the draft

EA will be analyzed by the staff and

considered in a final EA. The staff’s

conclusions and recommendations will

then be presented for the consideration

of the Commission in reaching its final

licensing decisions.

Scoping Meetings

The Commission staff will conduct

two scoping meetings. The evening

scoping meeting is primarily for public

input while the day-time meeting will

focus on resource agency and nongovernmental organization (NGO)

concerns. All interested individuals,

organizations, and agencies are invited

to attend and assist the staff in

identifying the scope of environmental

issues that should be analyzed in the

EA.

To help focus discussions, a

preliminary scoping document outlining
