Change of Dates and Locations for

Ward Valley Public Scoping

Workshops

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Change to May 17, 1996; notice

of intent.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) in California

announces a change of dates and

locations for the Ward Valley public

scoping workshops. The new dates and

times will change those identified in

BLM’s May 17, 1996 Notice of Intent to

prepare a Supplemental Environmental

Impact Statement (SEIS) for a proposed

land transfer to the State of California

for the purpose of developing a lowlevel radioactive waste disposal facility

at Ward Valley. The site of the proposed

federal land transfer is located in San

Bernardino County, California,

approximately 20 miles west of the city

of Needles.

DATES: Three public scoping workshops

will be held, and each will be open to

the public at the following dates and

locations:

June in Sacramento 2–5 pm and 7–9 pm

at the Red Lion Hotel, 2001 Point

West Way, Sierra Room;

June 15 in San Bernardino from 2–5 pm

and 7–9 pm at the National Orange

Show Grounds, Arrowhead Avenue,

Gate 9, Renaissance Room:

June 26 in Needles from 2–5 and 7–9

pm at Elks Lodge No. 1608, 1000 Lily

Hill Drive.

The purpose of the workshops is to

provide interested parties the

opportunity to give us their views on

the scope of issues to be addressed in

the SEIS. The workshops will be

conducted in an open house format, and

participants may work individually

with a BLM employee to record their

comments on the range of issues to be

considered in the SEIS. Written

comments will also be accepted at the

workshops.

No formal presentations or oral

testimony before the public will be

received during the scoping workshops;

however, BLM is committed to having

formal public hearings, with recorded

oral public testimony, during the public

comment period in the Draft SEIS.

ADDRESS: Any written comments or

requests to be placed on the mailing list

should be sent to Ward Valley Land

Transfer Coordinator (CA–930), Bureau

of Land Management, 2800 Cottage

Way, Sacramento, CA 95825.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Richard F. Johnson or John S. Mills at

(916) 979–2820.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SEIS

will focus on new information and

circumstances, including the May 1995

National Academy of Sciences Report;

the results of tritium and related testing

to be conducted at the site; recent U.S.

Geological Survey information

concerning tritium and other radioactive

materials detected in proximity to a

closed LLRW facility at Beatty, Nevada,

and other evidence of migration of

radioactive and other wastes from the

Beatty facility; the results of

consultation with Native American

Tribes; the possible effect of the

proposed transfer, construction, and

operation of the LLRW facility on areas

of cultural importance to nearby Native

American Tribes and any Tribal rights

recognized by federal law; the

designation of Ward Valley by the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service as critical

habitat for the desert tortoise and a 1995

FWS Biological Opinion evaluating the

potential impacts of the land transfer

and facility on the tortoise and its

critical habitat; a report prepared by the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

concerning release of radionuclides into

the atmosphere and effects on desert

tortoise habitat; a hydrogeologic report

on the proposed facility site

commissioned by the Metropolitan

Water District of Southern California;

and other information submitted by the

public. Issues that were fully analyzed

in the 1991 EIS/EIR and the 1993 SEIS

(which was limited to the changed land

transfer method from indemnity

selection to direct sale), and are not the

subject of new information or

circumstances, will not be addressed in

this SEIS.

A separate public notice will be

issued in the near future regarding

procedures for tritium and related

testing to be done at the site.

Dated: May 29, 1996.
