Provide a reference if this information is contained in a previous analysis and a discussion as to whether impacts are bounded by previous environmental impact statements.

Basis The regulation 10 CFR 50.83(b)(2) requires a description of the part of the facility or site to be released and 10 CFR 50.83(b)(5) requires a discussion that provides the reasons for concluding that the environmental impacts associated with the licensee's proposed release of the property will be bounded by appropriate previously issued environmental impact statements.

The application (ADAMS Accession No. ML23158A262) contains the following statement. The last liquid radioactive release from the plant was in 1992 in the circulating water discharge canal which is on the north side of Salt Fork. This property is located on the south side of Salt Fork and not in the groundwater gradient of the discharge canal. (pg-4, Attachment - Supporting Information for Request for Partial Site Release). Describe any monitoring and or sampling that was performed in this area [Clinton Lake Marina] to demonstrate it was not impacted and thus a justification for concluding, The review identified no recorded events of any spills, leaks, or uncontrolled release of radioactive material on this land. (pg-3, Attachment - Supporting Information for Request for Partial Site Release).

(pg-1, Attachment - Supporting Information for Request for Partial Site Release)

Basis The regulation in 10 CFR 50.83(b)(4) requires that the licensee submit the results of the evaluation performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 for non-impacted areas.

RAI-5

Discussion Clarify whether there would be any vegetation removal, ground disturbing activities, or construction associated with the partial site release.

Basis NRC is required to consult under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 USC 1531 et seq.) if actions authorized by the NRC may affect species protected under the ESA. Similarly, NRC is required to conduct consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA, 16 USC 470 et seq.) for if actions authorized by the NRC may adversely affect historic and cultural resources, as defined in NHPA. Construction, vegetation removal, and other ground disturbing activities have the potential to affect ESA-protected species and cultural and historic resources.
