TRISO-X Special Nuclear Material License Docket ID: NRC-2022-0201 Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), Division of Remediation
- Oak Ridge Office (DoR-OR)
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Division of Remediation in Oak Ridge (DoR-OR) submits the following scoping comments to the NRC for consideration in preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement for the TRISO-X Special Nuclear Material License.
Questions concerning these comments may be directed, by email, to Courtney Thomason at courtney.thomason@tn.gov or Christine Thompson at chris.p.thompson@tn.gov.
Comments
- 1. The EIS should present a review of any ongoing Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) activities occurring or planned to occur within or around the site and discuss potential impacts of ongoing remediation.
- 2. If excavation of the site will be required, coordination with the Department of Energys (DOE) Excavation/Penetration Permit (EPP) program may be a requirement for site redevelopment and should be discussed in the EIS. The EPP program is in place for many sites in this area as a land use control for excavations at a depth greater than 2 ft below ground surface.
NEPA Review
- 3. Groundwater remediation is ongoing in the area and may include remediation at this site. As such, the EIS should include discussion of impacts to groundwater from TRISO-X activities, a discussion of baseline monitoring for current conditions, and a discussion of water management and treatment plans if necessary.
- 4. Groundwater is shallow in this area. If site excavation is planned that will encounter groundwater and may require dewatering, the EIS should include a discussion of plans to manage potentially contaminated groundwater, including associated permitting, and a discussion of coordination with the DOE EPP program as necessary.
