NRC Issuance of Final Environmental Impact Statement for Surry Subsequent License Renewal Date:
Tuesday, April 07, 2020 4:23:00 PM Ms. Crocker:
The purpose of this email is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a final supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), for the proposed license renewal of Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (Surry) in Surry County, Virginia. The final SEIS is available online at: ML20071D538.
During its NEPA review, the NRC determined that the proposed subsequent license renewal may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect two species under your agencys jurisdiction: shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and Atlantic sturgeon (A.oxyrinchus oxyrinchus). The NRC also concluded that the proposed action may affect, but is not likely to destroy or adversely modify, critical habitat of the Chesapeake Bay distinct population segment of Atlantic sturgeon.
On October 17, 2019, the NRC staff submitted a copy of the draft SEIS to NMFS for review accompanied by a request for NMFS to concur with the NRC staffs ESA effect determinations in accordance with 50CFR402.12(j). On January30,2020, the NMFS concurred with the staffs determinations. The NMFSs concurrence concluded consultation, and the NRC staff has fulfilled its ESA Section7(a)(2) obligations with respect to the proposed Surry license renewal. Sections 3.8.1 and 4.8.1.1 and Appendix C.1 of the NRCs final SEIS address federally listed species and critical habitats and summarize this consultation.
If you have any questions about this email or the final SEIS, please reach out to me by phone at 301-415-1042 or email at briana.grange@nrc.gov.
Thank you,
