Tours/Discussions Requested with Ameren:

Aquatic and terrestrial biologists would like to participate in the same tours.

The aquatic ecologists would like a general tour of the project area to include intake structures on the Missouri River, as well as the location of the NPDES discharge back to the Missouri River. They would also like to meet with a staff member or contractor responsible for writing the aquatic communities portions of the ER and who can discuss the project and known aquatic resources.

Both aquatic and terrestrial ecologists would like to see typical wetland and riparian communities especially around the intake and discharge and areas protected by the plant (the ER points out the ecological significance of riparian areas near the plant). In addition, they would like to see the Reform Conservation Area, which is apparently on land owned by the plant and protected for conservation and restoration of plants and wildlife, among other uses. It would be helpful to see any sensitive or important habitats and any ongoing conservation, environmental protection, or educational projects or activities that the plant supports in the Reform Conservation Area.

The cultural resources expert would like a general tour of the archaeological sites and architectural resources within the Callaway property and along the transmission lines, and a tour of any adjacent areas of historical or cultural interest (such as the three NRHP-listed historic properties within 6 miles of Callaway), preferably led by an archaeologist. The ER indicated at least 129 cultural resources have been documented on the Callaway property, but the distribution of these resources and which sites are still present is unclear.

The cultural resources expert would like a meeting with the applicant and member of the grounds maintenance team to review cultural resources management procedures to determine how they avoid impacting historic and archaeological resources and deal with inadvertent discovery of historic and archaeological materials and human remains.

The cultural resources expert would like a meeting with the applicant and transmission line maintenance contractor to discuss right-of-way maintenance and monitoring and the procedures in place regarding protection of historic and archaeological properties along existing transmission line corridors.

The human health reviewer would like a meeting with the applicant to discuss the impacts on public health from microbiological organisms.

The health physics and waste reviewers would like a tour of the low-level radioactive waste storage facility, mixed waste storage facility, radiological waste processing and storage areas, planned independent spent fuel storage installation, radioactive effluent monitoring systems, and radiological environmental monitoring stations (e.g., air monitoring stations, including any co-located State monitoring stations).

The hydrology expert would like to view (1) all NPDES outfall locations, (2) the surface water intake and discharge to the Missouri River, (3) the well that is located at the Missouri River and used to produce water to lubricate the pumps of the intake building, (4) the areas of groundwater contamination, and (5) the onsite well locations that supply potable and utility water.

The hydrology expert would like a meeting with the applicant or contractor responsible for writing the hydrological portions of the ER to discuss the project and hydrological resources within the area of potential effect. We would like to discuss what is being learned from the Site Groundwater Protection Initiative that is part of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative. We would also like to understand the location and concentration of any radiological or non-radiological contaminants detected in groundwater underlying the site. We would like to know about any corrective actions taken or planned to prevent and cleanup groundwater contamination.

The meteorology and air quality expert would like a tour of the meteorological tower site including any backup tower site and permitted emission sources.

The terrestrial and aquatic ecologists would like a tour of the site that includes:

- representative habitats of each type of natural habitat on the Callaway site (grassland, forest, cropland, wooded wetlands, limestone glades, riparian areas bordering permanent, and intermittent streams),

- areas where biological investigations have been done,

- the Reform Conservation Area, and

- the limestone glade, a Missouri natural community of concern, that is mentioned in Section 2.4, page 16 of the Environmental Report.

The terrestrial ecology expert would like a meeting with the applicant or responsible contractor for writing the terrestrial ecology portions of the ER who can discuss the project, known terrestrial resources, and the NRCs site audit need requests. This meeting should also include knowledgeable staff that can discuss Amerens transmission line maintenance procedures, including specific procedures or mitigation measures Ameren takes to reduce impacts to waterbodies, wetlands, and Federally or state-protected species.

The terrestrial ecology expert would like a meeting with knowledgeable staff that can discuss the following regarding transmission line maintenance: (1) Amerens vegetative maintenance plans and procedures, (2) any specific procedures or mitigation measures Ameren takes to reduce impacts to waterbodies, wetlands, and Federally or state-protected species, and (3) any company initiatives that Ameren undertakes and/or the agencies with whom Ameren partners with to promote biodiversity and reduce long-term impacts within and along transmission line corridors.

The waste reviewer would like a tour of the nonradioactive waste storage facility and nonradioactive effluent monitoring systems.

Off-Site Meetings:

Meeting with the State Historic Preservation Office during the week of the audit, May 20, 2012:

NRC will meet with the MO SHPO in Jefferson City at some point during the site audit to discuss the license renewal application and conduct an independent file search. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss NRCs licensing action, schedule, opportunities to participate in the NEPA process; the process for completing Section 106 by coordinating with NEPA (in accordance with 36 CFR 800.8c); and any questions or issues the SHPO may have concerning cultural resources.
