NHPA Section 106 Consultation Correspondence for Indian Point Proposed License Renewal Attachments: IP SHPO Ltr_08-09-07.pdf; IP SHPO Ltr_12-22-08.pdf Ken -
Thanks for taking the time to speak with me this afternoon regarding Section 106 consultation for the proposed license renewal of Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Numbers 2 and 3. I've attached both the scoping letter from NRC to Ruth Pierpont from August of 2007 and the draft EIS comment solicitation letter from NRC to Carol Ash in December of 2008. It appears that the SHPO review number for this project is 06PR06720.
As I indicated on the phone, I will also send a hard copy of the draft EIS to you via regular mail. The draft EIS is available electronically at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1437/supplement38/
should you wish to review anything prior to receiving the hard copy. Volume 1 contains the main body of the report.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything additional that I can provide to you. I look forward to your review and comments.
Best regards, Drew

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 & 3 (INDIAN POINT)
LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW (SHPO NO. 06PR06720)
Dear Ms. Pierpont:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is reviewing an application to renew the operating license for Indian Point, which is located in Buchanan, NY, approximately 24 miles north of the New York City boundary line. Indian Point is operated by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy). The application for renewal was submitted by Entergy by letter dated April 23, 2007, and supplemented by letters dated May 3, and June 21, 2007, 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 September 19, 2007, the NRC will conduct two public NEPA scoping meetings at the Colonial Terrace, located at 119 Oregon Road in Cortlandt Manor, NY. 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 July 2008.
R. Pierpont If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Ms. Jill Caverly, Environmental Project Manager, by phone at 301-415-6699 or by email at jsc1@nrc.gov.

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW
Dear Ms. Ash:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is reviewing an application to renew the operating licenses for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 (IP2 and IP3), which are located in Westchester County in the village of Buchanan, New York, approximately 24 miles north of New York City. IP2 and IP3 are operated by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (the licensee).
As part of its review of the proposed action, the NRC staff has prepared a site-specific Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to its AGeneric Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants,@ NUREG-1437. The SEIS includes analyses of relevant environmental issues, including potential impacts to historic and archaeological resources from extended operation and refurbishment activities associated with license renewal.
In accordance with our letter to you dated August 9, 2007, a copy of the draft SEIS is enclosed.
Pursuant to Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 800.8(c), we are requesting your comments on the draft SEIS and on our preliminary conclusions regarding historic properties.
As stated in our letter dated August 9, 2007, 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 operation or projected refurbishment activities associated with the proposed action. The staff views the APE for the IP2 and IP3 license renewal as including the IP2 and IP3 site and the immediate environs.
The NRC staff has conducted an environmental audit at the site and has reviewed historic and archaeological records. The NRC staff also contacted 15 Native American Tribes identified as having potential interest in the proposed undertaking. The NRC staff is transmitting a copy of the draft SEIS to the Delaware Nation for their review and comment.
In the context of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, under which the draft SEIS was prepared, the NRC staff=s preliminary determination is that the impact of license renewal on historical and archaeological resources is small. Under the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the NRC staff=s preliminary determination is that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed action.
