Dear Mr. Stall:

From February 28, 2002 through April 30, 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted scoping meetings to determine the extent of the NRC staffs environmental review of the application for renewal of the operating licenses for St. Lucie, Units 1 and 2. The application for renewal was submitted by the licensee, Florida Power and Light Company, (FPL) by letter dated November 29, 2001. As part of the scoping process, the NRC staff held two public environmental scoping meetings in Port St. Lucie, Florida on April 3, 2002, to solicit public input regarding the scope of the review. The scoping process is the first step in the development of a plant-specific supplement to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS), for the St. Lucie plant.

The NRC staff has prepared the enclosed Environmental Scoping Summary Report identifying comments received at the April 3, 2002, license renewal environmental scoping meetings, by letter, by electronic mail and by fax. In accordance with 10 CFR 51.29(b), you are being provided a copy of the enclosed report. The transcripts of the meetings can be found as an attachment to the meeting summary issued on May 7, 2002. The meeting summary is available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document management system (ADAMS) under accession number ML021300604. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room) (Note that the URL is case-sensitive).
