NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL OF NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, FOR PUBLIC COMMENT (DOCKET NUMBER 50-338 and 50-339)
Dear Governor Johnson:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a review of the environmental effects of renewing the operating licenses for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (NAPS). NAPS is operated by Dominion Energy Virginia and is located primarily in Louisa County, Virginia, with a portion of the site extending into neighboring Spotsylvania County, Virginia. As part of its review of the proposed action, the NRC has prepared a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) that includes analyses of potential impacts to historic properties at NAPS from activities associated with license renewal.
As stated in our letter to your office dated October 30, 2020, the NRC is conducting Section 106 consultations in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act through the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, as outlined in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 800.8(c). The NRC has determined that the area of potential effects for this license renewal action is the NAPS power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operational activities during the subsequent license renewal term.
As discussed in the draft SEIS, the NRC staffs preliminary determination is that subsequent license renewal would not adversely affect historic properties. Further, the NRCs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision-makers would be unreasonable. In support of these conclusions, the NRC conducted an environmental site audit and reviewed historic and archeological records. The NRC also initiated consultation with 17 Federally recognized American Indian Tribes, notifying them of the proposed action and requesting comments on the scope of the environmental analysis. Documentation of Tribal consultation is presented in Appendix C of the draft SEIS.
A copy of the draft SEIS is available via the following link: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1437/supplement7-slr/index.html. The draft 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. ML21228A084.
J. Johnson Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8(c), we are requesting your comments on the draft SEIS and preliminary conclusions. Written comments should be submitted by mail to:
ATTN: Program Management, Announcements and Editing Staff Office of Administration Mail Stop: TWFN-7A60M U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Electronic comments on the draft SEIS may be submitted to the NRC by accessing www.regulations.gov and searching for Docket ID NRC-2020-0234. Because there are limited personnel in NRC buildings at this time due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 public health emergency, the preferred method for providing your comments is electronically through regulations.gov; directly to NorthAnnaEnvironmental@nrc.gov; or using the NRC staff email contact listed below.
The NRC plans to hold a public meeting webinar to discuss the findings of the draft SEIS on September 28, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. eastern time. The webinar will be held online (for the video presentation) and by telephone line (for audio and for members of the public to submit comments). The public webinar information is as follows:

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL OF NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, FOR PUBLIC COMMENT (DOCKET NUMBER 50-338 and 50-339)
Dear Principal Chief Sneed:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a review of the environmental effects of renewing the operating licenses for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (NAPS). NAPS is operated by Dominion Energy Virginia and is located primarily in Louisa County, Virginia, with a portion of the site extending into neighboring Spotsylvania County, Virginia. As part of its review of the proposed action, the NRC has prepared a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) that includes analyses of potential impacts to historic properties at NAPS from activities associated with license renewal.
As stated in our letter to your office dated October 30, 2020, the NRC is conducting Section 106 consultations in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act through the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, as outlined in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 800.8(c). The NRC has determined that the area of potential effects for this license renewal action is the NAPS power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operational activities during the subsequent license renewal term.
As discussed in the draft SEIS, the NRC staffs preliminary determination is that subsequent license renewal would not adversely affect historic properties. Further, the NRCs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision-makers would be unreasonable. In support of these conclusions, the NRC conducted an environmental site audit and reviewed historic and archeological records. The NRC also initiated consultation with 17 Federally recognized American Indian Tribes, notifying them of the proposed action and requesting comments on the scope of the environmental analysis. Documentation of Tribal consultation is presented in Appendix C of the draft SEIS.
A copy of the draft SEIS is available via the following link: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1437/supplement7-slr/index.html. The draft 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. ML21228A084.
R. Sneed Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8(c), we are requesting your comments on the draft SEIS and preliminary conclusions. Written comments should be submitted by mail to:
ATTN: Program Management, Announcements and Editing Staff Office of Administration Mail Stop: TWFN-7A60M U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Electronic comments on the draft SEIS may be submitted to the NRC by accessing www.regulations.gov and searching for Docket ID NRC-2020-0234. Because there are limited personnel in NRC buildings at this time due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 public health emergency, the preferred method for providing your comments is electronically through regulations.gov; directly to NorthAnnaEnvironmental@nrc.gov; or using the NRC staff email contact listed below.
The NRC plans to hold a public meeting webinar to discuss the findings of the draft SEIS on September 28, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. eastern time. The webinar will be held online (for the video presentation) and by telephone line (for audio and for members of the public to submit comments). The public webinar information is as follows:

As stated in our letter to your office dated October 30, 2020, the NRC is conducting Section 106 consultations in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act through the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, as outlined in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 800.8(c). The NRC has determined that the area of potential effects for this license renewal action is the NAPS power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operational activities during the subsequent license renewal term.
As discussed in the draft SEIS, the NRC staffs preliminary determination is that subsequent license renewal would not adversely affect historic properties. Further, the NRCs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision-makers would be unreasonable. In support of these conclusions, the NRC conducted an environmental site audit and reviewed historic and archeological records. The NRC also initiated consultation with 17 Federally recognized American Indian Tribes, notifying them of the proposed action and requesting comments on the scope of the environmental analysis. Documentation of Tribal consultation is presented in Appendix C of the draft SEIS.
A copy of the draft SEIS is available via the following link: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1437/supplement7-slr/index.html. The draft 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. ML21228A084.
