l NARRATIVE RESPONSES TO THE' SECRETARY OF INTER 10R'S REPORT TO CONGRESS i
Resoonse to C.4: 1 l Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant - While excavating a boat ramp across the lake !
! from the Wolf Creek Nuclear Powe'r Plant. located near Burlington, Kansas, a >
l U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensee conducted an archeological disturbance review. The licensee found no evidence of archeological significance.
River Bend Nuclear Power Plant - An annual flyover was conducted by the NRC l licensee for the River Bend Nuclear Power plant, located near Baton Rouge.
l Louisiana. The flyover, a part of the emergency plan for the nuclear power plant, took place within a five mile radius of licensee controlled area. No l
environmental or archeological disturbances were disclosed.
i Resoonse to D.6: !
Cabot Performance Materials - The Cabot Performance Materials (CPM) facility l near Boyertown Pennsylvania is authorized under source material license SMB-l 920 to process ores and tin slags to extract tantalum (Ta) and Niobium (Nb).
l Through an environmental assessment (EA), conducted in FY96 by NRC in support of the license renewal it was noted that four sites within a 5-mile radius of the CPM facility are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The
, closest historic site is 0.75 miles west of the facility. There is no impact I from operation of the facility on these sites.
Shieldallov Metalluraical Cor3 oration - The NRC prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for t1e on-site disposal of radioactive slag piles at the Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation facility in Cambridge. Ohio.
Sheildalloy obtained a license from NRC to process ores and mineral concentrates containing radioactive materials. These radioactive materials were segregated from the incoming ore during processing at the plant, resulting in slag - a waste byproduct. Shieldalloy proposed to NRC that the ,
slag piles be left in place as part of the decommissioning of the facility. .
rather than shipped offsite to a disposal facility. The DEIS for this project '
includes an analysis of archeological impacts. After NRC staff consulted with the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, it was determined that there were no i
known archeological sites in the project area. The closest site is 0.3 miles from the facility and will not be affected by on-site disposal of the slag.
Portland General Electric Comoany - On November 26, 1996. NRC's Spent Fuel Project Office (SFP0) issued an environmental assessment (EA) and finding of
( no significant impact related to the construction and operation of the proposed Trojan Independent Spent Fuel-Storage Installation (ISFSI). The EA considered the historical and archeological, as well as cultural and i
socioeconomic resources that might be impacted by the proposed ISFSI. The NRC 1
