UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 January 12, 2016 Mr. Michael Cordero, Acting Tribal Chair Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation P.O. Box 4464 Santa Barbara, CA 93140-4464

SUBJECT:

LICENSE RENEWAL REVIEW OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANYS DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Dear Chairman Cordero:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a license renewal review of Pacific Gas and Electric Companys (PG&E) Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCPP).

DCPP is located near Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the NRC intends to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) through the use of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, pursuant to Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 800.8(c). In addition, the NRC has also initiated Section 106 consultation with the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP).

Under NRC regulations, a nuclear power plant operating license may be renewed for up to 20 years. As part of the license renewal review, a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) to NRCs Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, is prepared under 10 CFR Part 51, NRCs regulation that implements NEPA. The draft SEIS will identify historic properties at DCPP and evaluate the environmental effects of license renewal in accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c). The NRC expects to publish the draft SEIS in August 2016.

For the purposes of analysis, the NRC has defined the area of potential effects (APE) for the DCPP license renewal undertaking as the DCPP site and the north and south access roads and immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operations activities during the license renewal term (see Enclosure). The APE may extend beyond the immediate DCPP environs if PG&Es maintenance and operations activities affect offsite historic properties. This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.

Extensive archaeological surveys have been conducted at DCPP and the findings are on record with OHP in the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS). The NRC plans to briefly summarize this information in the draft SEIS. Sensitive site location information about cultural resources at DCPP will not be disclosed in the draft SEIS per Section 304 of NHPA that provides protection of information about a historic property that might result in harm to the property. The NRC will also describe ongoing routine maintenance and operations activities at

DCPP in the draft SEIS that could have the potential to affect historic properties and other cultural resources.

Please contact Mr. Jeffrey Rikhoff, Senior Environmental Scientist, at (301) 415-1090 or by email at Jeffrey.Rikhoff@nrc.gov with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this letter and the license renewal review. Any questions regarding cultural resources at DCPP should be directed to Mr. Mike Taggart, PG&E Archaeologist. His e-mail address is Mike.Taggart@pge.com and telephone number is (916) 923-7047.

LICENSE RENEWAL REVIEW OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANYS DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Dear Chief Vigil:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a license renewal review of Pacific Gas and Electric Companys (PG&E) Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCPP).

DCPP is located near Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the NRC intends to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) through the use of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, pursuant to Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 800.8©. In addition, the NRC has also initiated Section 106 consultation with the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP).

Under NRC regulations, a nuclear power plant operating license may be renewed for up to 20 years. As part of the license renewal review, a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) to NRCs Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, is prepared under 10 CFR Part 51, NRCs regulation that implements NEPA. The draft SEIS will identify historic properties at DCPP and evaluate the environmental effects of license renewal in accordance with 36 CFR 800.8©. The NRC expects to publish the draft SEIS in August 2016.

For the purposes of analysis, the NRC has defined the area of potential effects (APE) for the DCPP license renewal undertaking as the DCPP site and the north and south access roads and immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operations activities during the license renewal term (see Enclosure). The APE may extend beyond the immediate DCPP environs if PG&Es maintenance and operations activities affect offsite historic properties. This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.

Extensive archaeological surveys have been conducted at DCPP and the findings are on record with OHP in the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS).

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a license renewal review of Pacific Gas and Electric Companys (PG&E) Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCPP).

DCPP is located near Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the NRC intends to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) through the use of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, pursuant to Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 800.8(c). In addition, the NRC has also initiated Section 106 consultation with the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP).

Under NRC regulations, a nuclear power plant operating license may be renewed for up to 20 years. As part of the license renewal review, a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) to NRCs Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, is prepared under 10 CFR Part 51, NRCs regulation that implements NEPA. The draft SEIS will identify historic properties at DCPP and evaluate the environmental effects of license renewal in accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c). The NRC expects to publish the draft SEIS in August 2016.

For the purposes of analysis, the NRC has defined the area of potential effects (APE) for the DCPP license renewal undertaking as the DCPP site and the north and south access roads and immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operations activities during the license renewal term (see Enclosure). The APE may extend beyond the immediate DCPP environs if PG&Es maintenance and operations activities affect offsite historic properties. This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.

Extensive archaeological surveys have been conducted at DCPP and the findings are on record with OHP in the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS). The NRC plans to briefly summarize this information in the draft SEIS. Sensitive site location information about cultural resources at DCPP will not be disclosed in the draft SEIS per Section 304 of NHPA that provides protection of information about a historic property that might result in harm to the property. The NRC will also describe ongoing routine maintenance and operations activities at

DCPP in the draft SEIS that could have the potential to affect historic properties and other cultural resources.

Please contact Mr. Jeffrey Rikhoff, Senior Environmental Scientist, at (301) 415-1090 or by email at Jeffrey.Rikhoff@nrc.gov with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this letter and the license renewal review. Any questions regarding cultural resources at DCPP should be directed to Mr. Mike Taggart, PG&E Archaeologist. His e-mail address is Mike.Taggart@pge.com and telephone number is (916) 923-7047.
