SUBJECT:
KEWAUNEE POWER STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW
Dear Mr. Banker:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) is reviewing an application to renew 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. KPS is operated by Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. (DEK). The application for renewal was submitted by DEK in a letter dated August 14, 2008, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54).
The NRC has established that, as part of the staffs review of any nuclear power plant license renewal action, a site-specific Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to its Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, will be prepared under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs regulation that implements the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). In accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c), the SEIS will include analyses of potential impacts to historic and cultural resources.
In the context of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, the NRC staff has determined that the area of potential effect (APE) for a license renewal action is the area at the power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by post-license renewal land-disturbing operations or projected refurbishment activities associated with the proposed action.
The APE may extend beyond the immediate environs in those instances where post-license renewal land-disturbing operations or projected refurbishment activities specifically related to license renewal may potentially have an effect on known or proposed historic sites. This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.
On October 22, 2008, the NRC will conduct two public license renewal and environmental scoping meetings at the Carlton Town Hall, N1296 Town Hall Road, Kewaunee, WI 54216.
You and your staff are invited to attend. Your office will receive a copy of the draft SEIS along with a request for comments. The staff expects to publish the draft SEIS in 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 or require additional information, please contact Ms. Sarah Lopas, License Renewal Project Manager, by phone at 301-415-1147 or by e-mail at sarah.lopas@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
