REQUEST FOR SCOPING COMMENTS CONCERNING THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF SURRY POWER STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION

Dear Governor Butler-Wolfe:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a review of the environmental effects of renewing the operating licenses for Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (SPS).

SPS is operated by Dominion Energy Virginia and is located in Surry, Virginia (see Enclosure 1). Dominion Energy Virginia submitted an application for the subsequent renewal of SPS operating licenses in a letter dated October 15, 2018, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54).

The NRC has defined subsequent license renewal to be the period of extended operation from 60 years to 80 years. The Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, authorizes the NRC to issue 40-year initial licenses, and upon application and approval, renew licenses for nuclear power reactors. The NRCs regulations limit these renewals to 20-year increments. Approval of a renewed license is based on the outcome of a safety and environmental review. The NRC issued renewed SPS, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 operating licenses in 2003; the current Unit 1 operating license expires on May 25, 2032, and the Unit 2 operating license expires on January 29, 2033.

The requested renewals would extend the operating license expiration dates for SPS, Unit Nos.

1 and 2, to May 25, 2052 and January 29, 2053, respectively.

As part of the NRCs license renewal review, a site-specific supplement to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, is prepared in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs environmental protection regulations.

These regulations also implement Section 102(2) of the National Environment Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA). In accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c), the NRC intends to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA),

through the NEPA process. Accordingly, the NRC is inviting parties who may be interested in the proposed action to consult on this matter. The purpose of this letter is to initiate Section 106 consultation with the Absentee-Shawnee Tribe under NHPA.

E. Butler-Wolfe In the context of NHPA, the NRC has determined that the area of potential effects (APE) for this subsequent license renewal is the area at the power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operational activities during the license renewal term (see Enclosure 2). The APE may extend beyond the immediate SPS environs if Dominion Energy Virginia maintenance and operational activities affect offsite historic properties (see Enclosure 3). This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.28 and 36 CFR 800.2(c), the NRC wishes to ensure that Indian Tribes that might have an interest in any potential historic properties in the APE are afforded the opportunity to identify their concerns. The NRC invites you to provide input to the scoping process relating to the NRCs environmental review of the subsequent license renewal application. Please provide any comments that you may have on the scope of the environmental review within a month of the date of this letter. Written comments should be submitted by mail to:

May Ma, Director Program Management, Announcements and Editing Branch Office of Administration Mail Stop: TWFN-7A60M U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Electronic comments may be submitted to the NRC by accessing www.regulations.gov and searching for Docket ID NRC-2018-0280.

The application is available through the web-based version of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The environmental report portion of the application is listed under ADAMS Accession No. ML18291A834. The NRC expects to publish a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement in September 2019. The NRC will forward the draft supplement to you for your review and comment. This draft supplement will include identification of historic properties, assessment of impacts, and a preliminary determination.

After consideration of public comments received, the NRC plans to issue the final supplement, in April 2020.

E. Butler-Wolfe If you have any questions concerning the NRCs license renewal review, please contact Jeffrey Rikhoff, at 301-415-1090 or by e-mail at Jeffrey.Rikhoff@nrc.gov.

The NRCs regulations limit these renewals to 20-year increments. Approval of a renewed license is based on the outcome of a safety and environmental review. The NRC issued renewed SPS, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 operating licenses in 2003; the current Unit 1 operating license expires on May 25, 2032, and the Unit 2 operating license expires on January 29, 2033.

The requested renewals would extend the operating license expiration dates for SPS, Unit Nos.

1 and 2, to May 25, 2052 and January 29, 2053, respectively.

As part of the NRCs license renewal review, a site-specific supplement to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, is prepared in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs environmental protection regulations.

These regulations also implement Section 102(2) of the National Environment Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA). In accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c), the NRC intends to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA),

through the NEPA process. Accordingly, the NRC is inviting parties who may be interested in the proposed action to consult on this matter. The purpose of this letter is to initiate Section 106 consultation with the Delaware Tribe of Indians under NHPA.

C. Brooks In the context of NHPA, the NRC has determined that the area of potential effects (APE) for this subsequent license renewal is the area at the power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operational activities during the license renewal term (see Enclosure 2). The APE may extend beyond the immediate SPS environs if Dominion Energy Virginia maintenance and operational activities affect offsite historic properties (see Enclosure 3). This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.28 and 36 CFR 800.2(c), the NRC wishes to ensure that Indian Tribes that might have an interest in any potential historic properties in the APE are afforded the opportunity to identify their concerns. The NRC invites you to provide input to the scoping process relating to the NRCs environmental review of the subsequent license renewal application. Please provide any comments that you may have on the scope of the environmental review within a month of the date of this letter. Written comments should be submitted by mail to:

REQUEST FOR SCOPING COMMENTS CONCERNING THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF SURRY POWER STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION

Dear Chief Sparkman:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a review of the environmental effects of renewing the operating licenses for Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (SPS).

SPS is operated by Dominion Energy Virginia and is located in Surry, Virginia (see Enclosure 1). Dominion Energy Virginia submitted an application for the subsequent renewal of SPS operating licenses in a letter dated October 15, 2018, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54).

The NRC has defined subsequent license renewal to be the period of extended operation from 60 years to 80 years. The Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, authorizes the NRC to issue 40-year initial licenses, and upon application and approval, renew licenses for nuclear power reactors. The NRCs regulations limit these renewals to 20-year increments. Approval of a renewed license is based on the outcome of a safety and environmental review. The NRC issued renewed SPS, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 operating licenses in 2003; the current Unit 1 operating license expires on May 25, 2032, and the Unit 2 operating license expires on January 29, 2033.

The requested renewals would extend the operating license expiration dates for SPS, Unit Nos.

1 and 2, to May 25, 2052 and January 29, 2053, respectively.

As part of the NRCs license renewal review, a site-specific supplement to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, is prepared in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs environmental protection regulations.

These regulations also implement Section 102(2) of the National Environment Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA). In accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c), the NRC intends to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA),

through the NEPA process. Accordingly, the NRC is inviting parties who may be interested in the proposed action to consult on this matter. The purpose of this letter is to initiate Section 106 consultation with the Shawnee Tribe Oklahoma under NHPA.

R. Sparkman In the context of NHPA, the NRC has determined that the area of potential effects (APE) for this subsequent license renewal is the area at the power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operational activities during the license renewal term (see Enclosure 2). The APE may extend beyond the immediate SPS environs if Dominion Energy Virginia maintenance and operational activities affect offsite historic properties (see Enclosure 3). This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.28 and 36 CFR 800.2(c), the NRC wishes to ensure that Indian Tribes that might have an interest in any potential historic properties in the APE are afforded the opportunity to identify their concerns. The NRC invites you to provide input to the scoping process relating to the NRCs environmental review of the subsequent license renewal application.

SPS is operated by Dominion Energy Virginia and is located in Surry, Virginia (see Enclosure 1). Dominion Energy Virginia submitted an application for the subsequent renewal of SPS operating licenses in a letter dated October 15, 2018, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54).

The NRC has defined subsequent license renewal to be the period of extended operation from 60 years to 80 years. The Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, authorizes the NRC to issue 40-year initial licenses, and upon application and approval, renew licenses for nuclear power reactors. The NRCs regulations limit these renewals to 20-year increments. Approval of a renewed license is based on the outcome of a safety and environmental review. The NRC issued renewed SPS, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 operating licenses in 2003; the current Unit 1 operating license expires on May 25, 2032, and the Unit 2 operating license expires on January 29, 2033.

The requested renewals would extend the operating license expiration dates for SPS, Unit Nos.

1 and 2, to May 25, 2052 and January 29, 2053, respectively.

As part of the NRCs license renewal review, a site-specific supplement to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, is prepared in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs environmental protection regulations.

These regulations also implement Section 102(2) of the National Environment Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA). In accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c), the NRC intends to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA),

through the NEPA process. Accordingly, the NRC is inviting parties who may be interested in the proposed action to consult on this matter. The purpose of this letter is to initiate Section 106 consultation with the Nottoway Tribe under NHPA.

L. Allston In the context of NHPA, the NRC has determined that the area of potential effects (APE) for this subsequent license renewal is the area at the power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operational activities during the license renewal term (see Enclosure 2). The APE may extend beyond the immediate SPS environs if Dominion Energy Virginia maintenance and operational activities affect offsite historic properties (see Enclosure 3). This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.28 and 36 CFR 800.2(c), the NRC wishes to ensure that Indian Tribes that might have an interest in any potential historic properties in the APE are afforded the opportunity to identify their concerns. The NRC invites you to provide input to the scoping process relating to the NRCs environmental review of the subsequent license renewal application. Please provide any comments that you may have on the scope of the environmental review within a month of the date of this letter. Written comments should be submitted by mail to:

The application is available through the web-based version of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The environmental report portion of the application is listed under ADAMS Accession No. ML18291A834. The NRC expects to publish a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement in September 2019. The NRC will forward the draft supplement to you for your review and comment. This draft supplement will include identification of historic properties, assessment of impacts, and a preliminary determination.

After consideration of public comments received, the NRC plans to issue the final supplement, in April 2020.

L. Allston If you have any questions concerning the NRCs license renewal review, please contact Jeffrey Rikhoff, at 301-415-1090 or by e-mail at Jeffrey.Rikhoff@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,
