Wetland and Other Waters Surveys Natrium Project 1

INTRODUCTION TerraPower LLC (TerraPower), proposes to demonstrate the ability to design, license, construct, startup and operate a Natrium reactor, referred to as the Natrium Reactor Demonstration Project (Project), in Lincoln County, Wyoming. In support of Project planning and permitting requirements, Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech), conducted a formal wetland delineation June 20th - 25th; September 1st - 2nd, and October 19th - 20th, 2022, within the 1,475-acre Project Area. The purpose of the delineation was to document current site conditions and determine the extent of wetlands and waters within the Project Area pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 U.S.C.

1344) or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 U.S.C. 403). This Wetland Delineation Report summarizes the methodology and results of the field survey.

1.1 Project Background The Project will feature a 345-megawatt sodium-cooled fast reactor with a molten salt-based energy storage system that are intended to replace the aging coal-fired units in Wyomings PacifiCorp system. The Project will also include an approximately 6-mile-long transmission line and a water supply pipeline that will connect the Natrium plant to existing infrastructure at the Naughton Power Plant.

1.2 Project Area The Project area is located in Lincoln County, Wyoming, generally southeast of the existing Naughton Power Plant (Figures 1 and 2). The Project area, which encompasses approximately 1,475 acres, includes the Project site and the Transmission/Water Line Corridor. The Project site, located in Township 20N Range 116W Sections 19 and 20, includes the proposed reactor, energy storage system, and support facilities. The Transmission/Water Line Corridor extends north and northwest of the Project site. This corridor was sized to capture the full range of feasible options for the final route and encompass the extent of potential impacts that could occur during construction of this transmission line and water supply pipeline once the final route is determined.

The Project area is located within the Rolling Sagebrush Steppe (Level IV) sub-division of the Wyoming Basin Level III Ecoregion of Wyoming (Chapman et al. 2004). This vast region is dominated by shrubland communities. Typical plant species or plant associations in this region include Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), western wheatgrass (Pascopyrun smithii),

needle-and-thread grass (Hesperostipa comata), rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa), silver sagebrush (Artemisia cana), and Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda) (Chapman et al. 2004).

The Project area is situated in the gently rolling terrain of the Cumberland Flats of Wyoming at elevations ranging from about 6,735 feet to 6,770 feet above mean sea level. The area is covered by the Elkol, Wyoming and Kemmerer, Wyoming, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles (Figure 3).

The climate in the Project area is arid and windy, with warm summers and cold winters. Nearby monthly average temperatures range from about 16 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) in December and January to about 61°F in July and August, and maximum and minimum recorded temperatures of 99°F and -39°F, respectively (USDA 2022; NOAA 2022).

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 2.1 Federal Regulations Section 404 of the CWA and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act established programs to regulate the discharge of dredged or fill material and other work in Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS),

including wetlands and other special aquatic sites. These federal laws are administered by the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), with the oversight of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The laws regulate different types of WOTUS, but certain features are regulated by both statutes. The proposed Project is located within the boundaries of the USACE-Omaha Regulatory District.

Several classes of waterbodies are subject to federal jurisdiction under the CWA, including traditional navigable waters (TNWs); non-navigable tributaries of TNWs that are perennial or intermittent streams; and wetlands that directly abut streams (USACE 2008). In the absence of adjacent wetlands, lateral jurisdiction over nontidal waters extends to the ordinary high-water mark (OHWM). The definition of the OHWM is that line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas (33 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 328.3[e]). Wetlands with "jurisdictional status" are WOTUS as defined by Section 404 of the CWA.

The EPA and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works published the new WOTUS rule on December 30, 2022, which will take effect February 28, 2023. The rule is similar to the pre-2015 regime in that under most circumstances, wetlands, surface waters, and waterbodies that are relatively permanent with a continuous surface water connection or significant nexus to a relatively permanent waterbody, including traditional navigable waters, the territorial seas, and interstate waters, will be considered jurisdictional (USEPA 2022a; USEPA 2022b). A significant nexus exists when a waterbody is determined to significantly affect the chemical, physical, or biological integrity of traditional navigable waters, the territorial seas, or interstate waters. It is highly likely all the current jurisdictional features will remain jurisdictional under the new rule.

2.2 State Regulations 2.2.1 Wyoming Wetlands Act The Wyoming Wetlands Act [W.S. §§ 35-11-308 through 35-11-311] was passed by the Wyoming Legislature in 1991 and amended in 1994 (WJVSC 2010). Section 309(a) of the Act declares that all water, including collections of still water and waters associated with wetlands within the borders of this state are property of the state. The Act acknowledges that wetlands provide important habitat for waterfowl and endangered species; aid in flood control; trap, filter, and store sediments and other pollutants; and serve as groundwater recharge areas. Section 309(e) of the Act stresses the importance of balancing wetland preservation and the interests of private property owners and industry. The two key provisions of the Wyoming Wetlands Act are (1) a requirement for individuals or entities intending to drain a wetland of 5 acres or more to notify the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) in advance of any such action [Section 310], and (2)

TP-LIC-LET-0362 SUBJECT TO DOE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. DE-NE0009054 Copyright © 2024 TerraPower, LLC. All Rights Reserved

Wetland and Other Waters Surveys Natrium Project 3

the creation of a mitigation credit banking system based on ecological functions and values of wetlands that is to be administered by WDEQ [Section 311].

2.2.2 General Permit for Wetland Mitigation The WDEQ Water Quality Division (WQD) is responsible for isolated wetlands (wetlands not under CWA Section 404 jurisdiction) and may require a general permit if isolated wetlands are disturbed by Project construction. Under the Wyoming Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WYPDES),

this general permit for isolated wetlands mitigation authorizes the discharge of fill or dredge material into (1) naturally occurring isolated wetlands or (2) man-made isolated wetlands used to mitigate the loss of naturally occurring wetlands. This permit applies to the loss or destruction of greater than 1 cumulative acre of isolated wetland habitat for a total project. Coverage under this general permit requires a mitigation plan to offset the loss of wetland functions and values such that project activities result in no net loss of wetlands.

METHODOLOGY 3.1 Desktop Review Tetra Tech biologists conducted a desktop analysis to identify potential wetlands and other waters relying mostly on readily available, existing information that was obtained through a search of publicly available sources. The datasets accessed for the study included the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic Database, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps. In addition, Tetra Tech reviewed available geospatial data, aerial photographs, and topographic maps of the Project area to identify any potential wetlands or other waters that should be visited on the ground.

3.2 Wetland Delineation Wetland delineations were conducted in the field using the standard determination method following the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West, Version 2.0 (USACE 2008). This manual and supplement incorporate a three-parameter approach using hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrology indicators to identify wetlands and WOTUS.

During the delineation, potential regulatory boundaries of wetlands and other surface waters were identified through visual assessment of wetland vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrology indicators.

Paired USACE wetland and upland sample plots were established along the delineated boundaries to further document soil characteristics, presence of hydrology indicators, and vegetative communities within the wetlands and adjacent upland areas.

Vegetative communities were evaluated based on the presence of dominant plant species and their estimated percent ground cover by four strata: tree (30-foot radius), shrub (15-foot radius),

herbaceous (5-foot radius), and woody vine (30-foot radius). The wetland indicator status was identified within the National Wetland Plant List classification system (Lichvar et al. 2016). Based on this classification system, species are classified as obligate wetland (OBL), facultative wetland TP-LIC-LET-0362 SUBJECT TO DOE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO.

(FACW), facultative (FAC), facultative upland (FACU), or upland (UPL) (Table 1). Vegetation that has an OBL, FACW, or FAC indicator status is considered a wetland plant.

Table 1. Wetland Indicator Status and their Percent Occurrence within Wetlands Indicator Status Percent Occurrence within Wetlands OBL: Occur almost always under natural conditions in wetlands.

99 FACW: Usually occur in wetlands but occasionally found in non-wetlands.

67-99 FAC: Equally likely to occur in wetlands and non-wetlands.

34-66 FACU: Usually occur in non-wetlands but occasionally found in wetlands.

1-33 UPL: Occur in wetlands in another region but occur almost always under natural conditions in non-wetlands in the region specified.

1 Source: Reed 1988 Soil profiles collected at each sample plot were dug to a depth of approximately 20 inches. Soil characteristics, including coloration, redoximorphic features, depth of saturation, and depth to the ground water table, were noted, in accordance with the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (NRCS 2010). Hydrology was determined through observations of surface conditions as well as observations of saturation and presence or absence of a high-water table in the soil pit. Surface indicators include presence of surface water, evidence of recent flow, water deposited debris, and aquatic macroinvertebrates. Field-observed data were collected with the USACE Wetland Determination Data Sheets (Appendix B), in accordance with the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:

Arid West, Version 2.0 (USACE 2008).

The boundaries of delineated wetlands and waters and the locations of paired upland/wetland sample plots were recorded using a submeter accuracy GPS receiver interfaced with the ArcGIS Field Maps application. Representative photographs were taken of each aquatic feature and points of interest. Photographic documentation is included in Appendix C.

3.3 Wetland Functional Assessment Tetra Tech used the Montana Wetland Assessment Method (MWAM; Berglund and McEldowney 2008) to do a functional assessment of the wetlands in the Project area (Appendix B). Depending on the specific wetland being evaluated, up to 11 functions/values can be evaluated for each Assessment Area (AA) using MWAM, including the following:

Habitat for federally listed or proposed threatened or endangered plants or animals; General wildlife habitat; General fish habitat; Flood attenuation; Long-and short-term surface water storage; Sediment/nutrient/toxicant retention and/or removal; Sediment/shoreline stabilization; Production export/terrestrial and aquatic food chain support; Groundwater discharge/recharge; TP-LIC-LET-0362 SUBJECT TO DOE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO.

Uniqueness; Recreation/education potential.

Functions are self-sustaining properties of a wetland ecosystem that exist in the absence of society and relate to ecological significance without regard to subjective human values. Flood attenuation is an example of a wetland function. Values are benefits that derive from either one or more functions and the physical characteristics associated with a wetland. The value of a given wetland function is based on human judgment of worth, merit, and importance (Berglund and McEldowney 2008).

The MWAM ranks wetland functions and values in four categories, from I through IV. Category I has higher functional value than Category IV. Descriptions of the categories are as follows:

Category I - Wetlands are of exceptionally high quality and are generally rare to uncommon in the state or are important from a regulatory standpoint. Category I wetlands can provide primary habitat for federally listed species or species proposed for listing; represent a high-quality example of a rare wetland type; provide irreplaceable ecological functions (i.e., not replaceable within a human lifetime, if at all); exhibit exceptionally high flood attenuation capability; or are assigned high ratings for most of the assessed functions and values.

Category II - Wetlands are more common than Category I wetlands and are those that provide habitat for sensitive plants or animals, function at very high levels for wildlife/fish habitat, are unique in a given region, or are assigned high ratings for many of the assessed functions and values.

Category III - Wetlands are more common and generally less diverse than Category I and II wetlands. They can provide many functions and values, although they may not be assigned high ratings for as many parameters as are Category I and II wetlands. To be rated as a Category III site, the site must not qualify as a Category I, II, or IV site.

Category IV - Wetlands are generally small, isolated, and lack vegetative diversity. These sites provide little in the way of wildlife habitat and are often indirectly disturbed. To be rated as a Category IV site, the AA must not qualify as a Category I, II, or III site.

3.4 Stream Delineation All stream features and other waterbodies, including drainage ditches and ponds, were identified and mapped based on the presence of an OHWM. Stream channel duration was assessed using the Streamflow Duration Assessment Method (SDAM) (Nadeau 2015). The SDAM uses indicators of streamflow duration such as presence of macroinvertebrates and wetland vegetation to classify streams as perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral. Perennial streams typically flow year-round and have a defined bed and bank. Intermittent streams have a defined stream bed and bank with a clearly defined ordinary high-water mark but do not have continuous flow. These streams flow seasonally in response to ground water height or snowmelt. In some cases, pooled water or fringe wetlands supported by shallow ground water are associated with intermittent features.

Intermittent streams stop flowing when water losses from infiltration or evaporation exceed the input. Ephemeral streams flow occasionally and in response to rainstorms. These streams may not have defined bed and banks and may be referred to as washes or gullies (IDEQ 2016).

The North Fork of Little Muddy Creek flows south through the Project area, joining Little Muddy Creek approximately eight miles to the south. Little Muddy Creek flows east into Muddy Creek and ultimately Blacks Fork and the Flaming Gorge Reservoir.

Review of the USFWS NWI data identified several palustrine emergent (PEM) wetlands (11.1 acres),

riverine (12.0 acres), and freshwater ponds (16.8 acres) to be located within the Project area (USFWS 2022; Figure 5). The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) identified several tributaries (approximately 32,339.3 feet) of the North Fork Little Muddy Creek (3,941.6 linear feet) (USGS 2022; Figure 5).

4.1.3 Floodplains The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map panels 56023C2015D, 56023C2230D, and 56023C2235D (effective November 16, 2011), indicate that 113.3 acres of the Project area are classified in Zone A, a Special Flood Hazard Area without determined base flood elevations and a one percent annual chance of flooding. The remaining 1,361.6 acres are classified in Zone X which includes areas of minimal flood hazard located outside of the 100-year flood (Figure 6).

4.2 Field Delineation Results 4.2.1 Wetlands Results of the wetland delineation identified a total of 54.8 acres of PEM wetlands, which generally occurred along streams that flowed through sagebrush steppe and greasewood flats. Greasewood flat wetlands are characterized by white alkaline soils and very sparse vegetation (Appendix A Figure 7-5, Wetland 10). In the northern portion of the Project area, some wetlands were fed by waters that flowed out of the Kemmerer Mine (just west of the Project area) and through culverts underneath the road (Appendix A Figure 7-2, Wetland 1); other wetlands were fed directly by water that flowed out of the Naughton Power Plant (Appendix A Figure 7-2, Wetland 5).

The wetlands were largely dominated by Baltic rush (Juncus balticus), common reed (Phragmites australis), creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera), meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis), Nuttall's alkali grass (Puccinellia nuttalliana), Rocky Mountain glasswort (Salicornia rubra), sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), sedge (Carex spp.), and Utah arrowgrass (Triglochin concinna). The wetlands exhibited hydric indicators including surface water (A1), high water table (A2) saturated soils within the upper six inches (A3), and soil surface cracks (B6), and consisted of hydric soils with redoximorphic features that met the depleted matrix (F3), redox dark surface (F6), redox depressions (F8), and sandy redox (S5) indicators.

Table 3 below provides a list of all delineated wetland features, their classifications, and their areal extent within the Project area. Table 4 provides the Four Assessment Areas (AAs) that were analyzed for wetland function and value in the Project area.

DISCUSSION Under the new rule for the Revised Definition of Waters of the United States, published December 30, 2022, it is Tetra Techs opinion that most delineated wetlands and waters are likely considered jurisdictional WOTUS (USEPA 2022a), though many waters in the Project area have been manipulated or impounded potentially making jurisdictional determination difficult. Streams that are intermittent or perennial and wetlands that are adjacent to or whose waters are sourced from those streams are likely jurisdictional waters. Examples of these features are Stream 8 and Wetland

13. These features have perennial waters that appear to have connectivity to larger tributaries.

These classifications are preliminary and only the USACE can make the final jurisdictional determination on the delineated features.
