DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Army

Office of the Secretary of the Army;

Notice of Intent to Prepare a

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Analyses for Disposal and Reuse of

Fort Ord

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare a

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement (SEIS) for the disposal and

reuse of Fort Ord, California, to cover

the additional lands to be made

available for disposal as a result of

downsizing the Presidio of Monterey

(POM) Annex and changes in intended

reuse identified in the December 12,

1994, Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA)

Reuse Plan.

SUMMARY: The action evaluated in the

SEIS is the disposal and reuse of Fort

Ord, California, in accordance with the

legislative requirements of the Defense

Base Closure and Realignment Act of

1990, Public Law 101–510. The SEIS

will cover additional lands to be made

available for disposal as a result of

downsizing the POM Annex located on

the former Fort Ord. Because the

opportunity for supplementation has

arisen, the environmental effects of

changes in land uses between Fort Ord

Reuse Group’s (FORG’s) draft reuse plan

of October 1993 and FORA’s approved

reuse plan of December 1994 that have

not been adequately addressed in

previous National Environmental Policy

Act documentation will also be

considered.

ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives to the POM

Annex and a no-POM Annex alternative

were addressed in the Final EIS. This

EIS addressed a range of alternative

future land uses. These alternatives will

be supplemented with information on

the new smaller POM Annex and final

Reuse Plan of the Fort Ord Reuse

Authority.

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: The public will be

invited to participate in the scoping

process, review of the draft SEIS and a

public meeting. The location and time

of the scoping meeting to be scheduled

during April 1995 will be announced in

the local news media. The release dates

of the draft SEIS for public comment

and the public meeting will also be

announced in the local news media, as

the dates are established.

POINT OF CONTACT: Mr. Bob Verkade,

Scaramento District, U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, (916) 557–7423.

Dated: April 6, 1995.

Army Science Board; Notice of Open

Meeting

In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(P.L. 92–463), announcement is made of

the following Committee Meeting:

Name of Committee: Army Science Board

(ASB).

Date of Meeting: 24 and 25 April 1995.

Time of Meeting: 1300–1600, 24 April

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

[CFDA No. 84.041]

Impact Aid

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice extending the

application deadline date for Impact

Aid fiscal year 1995 section 8002 grants

and fiscal year 1996 section 8003 grants.

SUMMARY: The Secretary extends the

deadline date for the submission of

applications for Impact Aid fiscal year

1995 section 8002 grants and fiscal year

1996 section 8003 grants to May 8, 1995.

Impact Aid regulations at 34 CFR

§ 222.10 specify that the annual

application deadline is January 31 of the

fiscal year for which assistance is being

sought. Because the Impact Aid statute

was reauthorized on October 20, 1994,

as part of the Improving America’s

Schools Act of 1994, new application

forms for those grants had to be

developed and approved. Now that the

approval process is complete and new

applications are available, an extension

is being granted to potential applicants

under sections 8002 and 8003 for

Impact Aid assistance for the respective

years specified. Section 8003 applicants

should use a survey date for their

student counts that is at least three days

after the start of the 1994–95 school year

and before the extended deadline of

May 8, 1995.

The deadline date for the transmittal

of comments by State Educational

agencies is May 23, 1995. The Secretary

will also accept and approve for

payment any otherwise approvable

application that is received on or before

the sixtieth day after May 8, 1995.

However, any applicant meeting the

conditions of the preceding sentence

will have its payment reduced by 10

percent of the amount it would have

received had its application been filed

by May 8, 1995.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Record of Decision; Defense Waste

Processing Facility at the Savannah

River Site, Aiken, SC

AGENCY: Department of Energy, DOE.

ACTION: Record of Decision, Defense

Waste Processing Facility at the

Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken,

South Carolina.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

Energy (DOE) is publishing a Record of

Decision for the Defense Waste

Processing Facility (DWPF). DOE has

prepared and issued a Final

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) (DOE/EIS–0082–S,

November 25, 1994) to assess the

potential environmental impacts of

completing construction and operating

the DWPF, a group of associated

facilities and structures, to pretreat,

immobilize, and store high-level

radioactive waste at the Savannah River

Site (SRS). On the basis of the analysis

of impacts in the Supplemental EIS,

monetary costs, and regulatory

commitments, DOE has decided to

complete construction and startup

testing, and begin operation of DWPF.

The facility will be completed and

operated as designed, which includes

modifications to the conceptual design

originally proposed and evaluated in the

EIS prepared for the DWPF in 1982

(DOE/EIS–0082). DOE also will

implement additional safety

modifications to DWPF that will

substantially reduce or eliminate

potential accidental releases of

radioactive material and chemicals in

the unlikely event of a severe

earthquake. Independent readiness

reviews of DWPF facilities will be

conducted, and any potential concerns

raised in these reviews will be resolved

before DOE proceeds with radioactive

operations.

High-level radioactive waste at SRS,

the result of nuclear materials

production, has been stored in large

underground tanks at SRS since 1954.

This waste now amounts to

approximately 129 million liters (34

million gallons) and exists as sludge,

soluble salts dissolved in water

(supernatant), and crystallized saltcake

formed from evaporation of the

supernatant. DWPF includes facilities to

pre-treat the salt (supernatant and

saltcake) and sludge components using

existing high-level waste tanks. Pretreatment of the salt component will

involve chemical precipitation in a

high-level waste tank followed by

filtration for separation of highly

radioactive constituents (cesium,

strontium, and plutonium) from the salt

solution, yielding two output streams: a

highly radioactive precipitate slurry and

a low radioactivity salt solution. Pretreatment of the highly radioactive

sludge will involve washing it with a

sodium hydroxide solution in selected

high-level waste tanks to remove

aluminum hydroxide and other soluble

salts. The highly radioactive

constituents in the precipitate slurry

and the pre-treated sludge will be

immobilized at DWPF by incorporating

them in borosilicate glass in a process

called vitrification. The highly

radioactive vitrified waste will be sealed

in stainless steel canisters and stored in

vaults at DWPF until a permanent

geologic repository becomes available.

The low radioactivity salt solution

resulting from salt and sludge pretreatment will be immobilized in the

Saltstone Manufacturing Plant (one of

the DWPF facilities) by being blended

with cement, slag, and flyash, which

will harden into a concrete-like material

called saltstone. Saltstone will be

permanently disposed of in large vaults

located near DWPF.

Storage of high-level radioactive

waste in tanks presents continued longterm risk from releases to the

environment, both from normal

operations and potential accidents.

Completion and operation of DWPF will

provide DOE with facilities to

immobilize high-level waste at SRS in a

form that will significantly reduce

potential long-term hazards to human

health and the environment.
