SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is issuing a license amendment to 

source Materials License No. SUA–1341 

issued to Cogema Mining, Inc. 

(COGEMA) (the licensee), to authorize a 

return to uranium production 

operations and the recovery of uranium 

by in situ leach (ISL) extraction 

techniques as previously licensed by the 

NRC at its Christensen and Irigaray 

Ranch Facilities, Johnson and Campbell 

Counties, Wyoming. NRC has prepared 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) in 

support of this amendment in 

accordance with the requirements of 10 

CFR Part 51. Based on the EA, the NRC 

has concluded that a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) is 

appropriate. The amendment will be 

issued following the publication of this 

Notice. 

II. EA Summary 

On April 3, 2007, COGEMA requested 

that NRC approve an amendment to 

authorize a return to uranium 

production operations and the recovery 

of uranium by ISL extraction techniques 

at the licensee’s Christensen and 

Irigaray Ranch facilities in Johnson and 

Campbell Counties, Wyoming. 

Specifically, COGEMA’s source 

materials license will be amended to 

allow for the resumption of uranium 

recovery operations by the injection of 

lixiviant with license conditions that are 

essentially the same as those contained 

in the last operational license, SUA– 

1341, Amendment 3. COGEMA’s 

request for the proposed amendment 

was noticed in the Federal Register on 

March 17, 2008, with a notice of an 

opportunity to request a hearing. The 

Federal Register notice of an 

opportunity to request a hearing was 

also posted on NRC’s public Web site 

under ‘‘Hearing Opportunities and 

License Applications.’’ No hearing 

requests were received. 

The staff has prepared the EA in 

support of the proposed license 

amendment. The NRC staff found that 

the type of impacts would be similar to 

those that already exist and that have 

been evaluated in previous 

environmental reviews. The staff 

reviewed impacts to land use, 

transportation, geology and soils, 

ecology, air quality, noise, cultural and 

historical resources, visual and scenic 

resources, socioeconomic resources, 

public and occupational health, and 

waste management. All impacts were 

found to be low with the exception of 

some moderate short-term visual 

impacts to the Pumpkin Buttes which 

have been determined by the Bureau of 

Land Management to be a Native 

American traditional cultural property. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the EA, NRC has 

concluded that there are no significant 

environmental impacts from the 

proposed amendment, and that 

preparation of an environmental impact 

statement is not warranted. 

IV. Further Information 

Documents related to this action, 

including the application for 

amendment and supporting 

documentation, are available
