ronmental justice impacts. The licensee’s dose estimates should be for total effective dose equivalent to workers and the public, including that from releases and transportation. The licensee should briefly describe how these estimates of total effective dose equivalent compare to, or are different from, the estimates in other federally issued environmental review documents. For most resource areas, the Decommissioning GEIS provides generic conclusions about environmental impacts during decommissioning. Licensees should ensure that the predicted site-specific environmental impacts of the proposed decommissioning activities are within the bounding estimates, descriptions, and assumptions stated in the Decommissioning GEIS or are otherwise considered in and bounded by other appropriate federally issued environmental review documents. Licensees should provide adequate justification and discussion to support its conclusions that site-specific decommissioning impacts are bounded by previous environmental review documents. Licensees should pay particular attention to the environmental issues in the Decommissioning GEIS for which the NRC staff was unable to reach a generic impact conclusion. For these environmental issues, the licensee would need to either conduct a site-specific environmental impact assessment or determine whether another federally issued environmental review document provides an adequate site-specific bounding environmental impact assessment. For those activities that will occur in the future such that licensees are not able to make a definitive conclusion that impacts will be bounded at the PSDAR stage, identify those unbounded environmental impacts that will be addressed closer to, but still prior to, the decommissioning activity being undertaken. For example, the NRC staff was unable to reach a generic environmental impact determination for threatened and endangered species in the Decommissioning GEIS. For this resource area, the licensee can obtain
