2 Environmental impacts of the Proposed Action:
[
The proposed amendment does not impact the operation of the Vogtle facility. Specifically, the proposed amendment does not involve features located either within or outside of the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. As a result, it does not affect the potential for or consequences of radiological accidents and does not affect radiological plant effluents in any way. Consequently, the Commission concludes that there are no significant radiological impacts associated with the proposed amendment.
With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed amendment does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no other environmental impact.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that there are no significant nonradiological environmental impacts associated with the proposod amendment.
Alternative to the Proposed Action:
Because the Commission's staff has concluded that there is no significant environmental impact associated with the proposed amendment, any alternative to thir, amentiment will have either no significantly different environmental impact or greater environmental impact.
The principal alternative would be to deny the requested amendment.
This would not reduce environmental impacts as a result of plant operations.
Alternative Use of Resources:
This action does not involve the use of any resources not previously considered in the " Final Environmental Statement related to the operation of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2" dated March 1985.
Acencies and Persons Consulted:
The Commission's staff reviewed the licensee's request thtt supports the proposed amendment.
The staff did not consult other agencies or persons.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Commission has determined not to prepare an environa ntal impact statement for the proposed amendment.
Based upon the foregoing environmental assessment, we conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
For further details with respect to this action, see the request for the amendment dated July 31, 1989, which is available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC and at the Burke County Public Library, 412 Fourth Street, Waynesboro, Georgia 30830.
