SUBJECT:
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW (TRACK NUMBER 201002271)
Dear Mr. Wolfe:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) is reviewing an application submitted by South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) for the renewal of the operating license for South Texas Project (STP), Units 1 and 2. STP is located in Matagorda County Texas. The application for renewal was submitted by STPNOC in a letter dated October 25, 2010, 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 application, 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 10 CFR Part 51, the NRC's regulation that implements the National Environment Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA). The NRC plans to coordinate compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA) with NEPA in accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c).
In the context of the NHPA, the 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. The SEIS will include an analysis of pertinent environmental issues and analyses of potential impacts to historic and cultural resources.
For the purpose of license renewal, STPNOC stated that STP, Units 1 and 2, operating under renewed licenses, would use existing plant facilities and transmission. Please see the enclosed maps and pictures, which show the area under review.
The staff plans to hold two public environmental scoping meetings on March 2, 2011, at the Bay City Civic Center, Main Hall, Room 100,201 Seventh Street, Bay City, TX 77414. The first meeting will convene at 1 :30 PM and will continue until 3:30 PM, as necessary. The second meeting will convene at 7:00 PM with a repeat of the overview portions of the first meeting and will continue until 9:00 PM, as necessary. In addition, during the week of July 11, 2011, the staff plans to conduct a site audit at South Texas Project. 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 publication date for the draft SEIS is scheduled for 2012.
