SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL OF TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS.:
3 AND 4 (DOCKET NOS.: 50-250 and 50-251)
Dear Ms. Cody:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed the enclosed final NUREG-1437, Supplement 5, Second Renewal, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants: Regarding Subsequent License Renewal for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4. The final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) is being issued in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as part of the NRCs process to decide whether to issue a renewed operating license to Florida Power & Light Company for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point). The National Park Service (NPS) participated in the environmental review of the subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point as a cooperating agency. The NPS does not have any specific regulatory actions related to the proposed subsequent license renewal. The NPSs participation in preparing this SEIS was primarily centered on data gathering and information sharing regarding the environment in and around Biscayne National Park and does not imply NPS concurrence. Therefore, impact determinations made in this SEIS should only be attributed to the NRC.
In the final SEIS, the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision-makers would be unreasonable. Under the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the NRC staff determined that subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point would not adversely affect any known historic properties. The final SEIS will accompany the final Safety Evaluation Report to be considered in the Commissions license renewal decision making process. A copy of the final SEIS is enclosed. The final SEIS is also available through the web-based version of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html under ADAMS Accession No. ML19290H346.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Ms. Nancy Martinez, Physical Scientist, at 630-829-9734 or via e-mail at Nancy.Martinez@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Robert Elliott, Chief Environmental Review License Renewal Branch Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251
