SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF INTENT TO REINITIATE THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING PROCESS FOR THE REVIEW OF THE DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION
Dear Ms. Dettmer:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is reviewing an application submitted by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) for the renewal of the operating licenses for Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP), Units 1 and 2. The application for renewal was submitted in a letter dated November 23, 2009, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 54. If approved, the NRCs issuance of renewed licenses would authorize PG&E to operate DCPP, Units 1 and 2 for an additional 20 years beyond the current licensing periods, which expire on November 2, 2024 and August 26, 2025, respectively.
The NRC has established that, as part of the 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 pursuant to 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs regulation that implements the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. The SEIS documents the NRC staffs independent analysis of pertinent environmental issues, including endangered or threatened species and impacts to fish and wildlife.
In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 51.29, the NRC staff conducted a public scoping process to aid in the identification of issues to be considered in preparation of the SEIS.
The scoping process was completed on April 12, 2010. By letter dated May 31, 2011, prior to issuance of a draft SEIS, the NRC delayed all further milestones associated with the environmental review of the DCPP license renewal application to allow PG&E time for the completion of certain seismic studies to address concerns raised during the State of Californias Coastal Zone Management Act consistency review. On December 22, 2014, and February 25, 2015, PG&E amended its environmental report to incorporate additional information necessary for the NRC staff to complete its review of the DCPP license renewal application.
A. Dettmer On April 29, 2015, the NRC staff issued a revised schedule for the completion of the DCPP license renewal application review. Because of the length of time since the completion of the original scoping period, the NRC staff has prepared a Notice of Intent advising the public that the NRC intends to reopen the scoping process to aid in the identification of issues that may have emerged since completion of the last scoping period. You and your staff are invited to participate in the environmental scoping process. As discussed in the enclosed Federal Register notice, the NRC staff is providing the public with the opportunity to participate in two environmental scoping meetings to be held on August 5, 2015. The meetings will be held at the Courtyard by Marriott San Luis Obispo, 1605 Calle Joaquin Road, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405.
The first session will be held in the afternoon, and the second session, covering the same subjects, will be held in the evening. The afternoon session will be from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
and the evening session will be from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. In addition, the NRC plans to hold a one-hour open house prior to each meeting.
The anticipated publication date for the draft SEIS is August 2016. Your office will receive a copy of the draft SEIS along with a request for comments.
If you have any questions regarding the scoping meeting, please contact the NRCs Environmental Project Manager, Mr. Michael Wentzel, at 301-415-6459, or by e-mail at michael.wentzel@nrc.gov.

Because of the length of time since the completion of the original scoping period, the NRC staff has prepared a Notice of Intent advising the public that the NRC intends to reopen the scoping process to aid in the identification of issues that may have emerged since completion of the last scoping period. You and your staff are invited to participate in the environmental scoping process. As discussed in the enclosed Federal Register notice, the NRC staff is providing the public with the opportunity to participate in two environmental scoping meetings to be held on August 5, 2015. The meetings will be held at the Courtyard by Marriott San Luis Obispo, 1605 Calle Joaquin Road, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405.
The first session will be held in the afternoon, and the second session, covering the same subjects, will be held in the evening. The afternoon session will be from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
and the evening session will be from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. In addition, the NRC plans to hold a one-hour open house prior to each meeting.
The anticipated publication date for the draft SEIS is August 2016. Your office will receive a copy of the draft SEIS along with a request for comments.
If you have any questions regarding the scoping meeting, please contact the NRCs Environmental Project Manager, Mr. Michael Wentzel, at 301-415-6459, or by e-mail at michael.wentzel@nrc.gov.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 July 1, 2015 Larry Allen Air Pollution Control Officer San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District 3433 Roberto Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF INTENT TO REINITIATE THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING PROCESS FOR THE REVIEW OF THE DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Allen:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is reviewing an application submitted by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) for the renewal of the operating licenses for Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP), Units 1 and 2. The application for renewal was submitted in a letter dated November 23, 2009, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 54. If approved, the NRCs issuance of renewed licenses would authorize PG&E to operate DCPP, Units 1 and 2 for an additional 20 years beyond the current licensing periods, which expire on November 2, 2024 and August 26, 2025, respectively.
The NRC has established that, as part of the 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 pursuant to 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs regulation that implements the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. The SEIS documents the NRC staffs independent analysis of pertinent environmental issues, including endangered or threatened species and impacts to fish and wildlife.
In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 51.29, the NRC staff conducted a public scoping process to aid in the identification of issues to be considered in preparation of the SEIS.
The scoping process was completed on April 12, 2010. By letter dated May 31, 2011, prior to issuance of a draft SEIS, the NRC delayed all further milestones associated with the environmental review of the DCPP license renewal application to allow PG&E time for the completion of certain seismic studies to address concerns raised during the State of Californias Coastal Zone Management Act consistency review. On December 22, 2014, and February 25, 2015, PG&E amended its environmental report to incorporate additional information necessary for the NRC staff to complete its review of the DCPP license renewal application.
L. Allen On April 29, 2015, the NRC staff issued a revised schedule for the completion of the DCPP license renewal application review. Because of the length of time since the completion of the original scoping period, the NRC staff has prepared a Notice of Intent advising the public that the NRC intends to reopen the scoping process to aid in the identification of issues that may have emerged since completion of the last scoping period. You and your staff are invited to participate in the environmental scoping process. As discussed in the enclosed Federal Register notice, the NRC staff is providing the public with the opportunity to participate in two environmental scoping meetings to be held on August 5, 2015.
