KEWUANEE POWER STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW
Dear Mr. Kazmierczak:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) is reviewing an application submitted by Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. for the renewal of the operating license for Kewaunee Power Station (KPS), which is located on the west-central shore of Lake Michigan in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin, approximately 30 miles east-southeast of Green Bay and eight miles south of the City of Kewaunee. As part of the review of the license renewal application (LRA), the NRC is preparing a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) under the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51), the NRCs regulation that implements the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).
KPS is requesting the renewal of its operating license for a period of 20 years beyond the expiration of the current license term, renewing the license until December 2033. The proposed action would include the use and continued maintenance of existing plant facilities and transmission lines. The KPS site covers approximately 908 acres, of which approximately 60 acres contain structures, facilities, and parking lots associated with KPS. Approximately 450 acres are used for agriculture, and the remainder of the site is a mixture of woods, fields in various stages of succession, small wetlands and watercourses, and open areas. The site also contains approximately two miles of Lake Michigan western shoreline. A site map is enclosed with this letter.
The NRC staff plans to hold two identical public meetings covering the license renewal and environmental scoping process on October 22, 2008, at the Carlton Town Hall, N1296 Town Hall Road, Kewaunee, WI 54216. The first meeting will convene at 1:30 p.m., and will continue until 4:30 p.m., as necessary. The second meeting will convene at 7:00 p.m., and will continue until 10:00 p.m., as necessary. In addition, during the week of January 12, 2008, the NRC plans to conduct a site audit. You and your staff are invited to attend both the site audit and the public meetings. Your office will receive a copy of the draft SEIS along with a request for comments.
The anticipated publication date for the draft SEIS is August 2009.
The KPS license renewal application is available on the internet at www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/kewaunee.html. If you have any questions concerning the NRC staffs review of this LRA, please contact Ms. Sarah Lopas, License Renewal Project Manager, at 301-415-1147 or by e-mail at sarah.lopas@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
