under the NEPA and SEPA processes, 

cultural considerations under the 

NHPA, and land-use considerations 

such as consistency with the CLUP are 

considered also in cleanup decisions 

under the TPA framework. This 

Amended ROD clarifies DOE’s finding 

that the use of these other regulatory 

processes is consistent with processes 

established in the HCP–EIS to ensure 

that land-use decisions are consistent 

with the CLUP. 

However, DOE does not believe it is 

appropriate to use these other regulatory 

processes to amend the CLUP (including 

making changes to land-use map, 

designations, and policies). Proposals to 

amend any aspect of the CLUP will 

continue to follow the process outlined 

in Chapter 6 of the HCP–EIS. The 

review process for land-use requests 

that would change or modify the CLUP 

(Figure 5–1 of the Supplement Analysis) 

requires review by the DOE Real Estate 

Officer (REO) and the DOE NEPA 

Compliance Officer. As stated in Section 

6.4 of the final HCP–EIS: 

The REO receives notice (e.g., NEPA 

checklist, SEPA checklist, CERCLA RI/FS 

[Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study] 

review request, CERCLA review request, 

RCRA permit request, etc.) from a proposed 

project or activity and initiates, with the 

NEPA Compliance Officer (NCO), a 

coordinated project review. * * * As an 

initial step in the review process, the REO 

determines whether the project is an 

‘‘Allowable Use,’’ ‘‘Special Use,’’ or 

‘‘Amendment’’ to the CLUP. For projects that 

require Special Use Permits or Plan 

Amendments, the REO obtains comments 

and recommendations from the SPAB [Site 

Planning Advisory Board] on the suitability 

of the proposed ‘‘Use’’ with respect to the 

existing CLUP map, land-use policies, and 

implementing procedures. For CLUP 

Amendments, review includes a final RL 

[Richland Operations Office] Site 

Management Board (SMB) affirmation, or the 

SMB can refer a proposed Plan Amendment 

back to the REO for further review. 

As discussed in the Supplement 

Analysis (Section 5.5), this review 

process may result in additional NEPA 

review. 

IV. Supplement Analysis Determination 

and Amended Decision 

Based on the Supplement Analysis, 

DOE finds no significant new 

circumstances or information relevant to 

environmental concerns and bearing on 

the proposed actions or their impacts as 

described in the HCP–EIS. Therefore, 

DOE has determined that neither a new 

EIS nor a supplement to the existing 

HCP–EIS is needed at this time. 

Based on the Supplement Analysis, 

DOE concludes that using the regulatory 

processes in place at the Hanford Site 

under the framework of the Tri-Party 

Agreement is an acceptable way to 

ensure land use is being implemented 

consistently with the CLUP. DOE will 

continue to follow the provisions of 

section 6.4 of the HCP–EIS for proposed 

amendments to the CLUP. Resource and 

area management plans will continue to 

be developed and implemented with the 

goal of protecting Hanford’s resources, 

maintaining consistency with CLUP 

policies and goals, and honoring 

commitments made in these 

management plans.
