Background===

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) is evaluating the potential donation of a small parcel of land located north of the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) owner-controlled area.

This parcel lies outside the restricted area, the liquid effluent release boundary, and the exclusion area boundary as defined in Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) Section 2.1.1.3. The WCGS exclusion area is a 1,200-meter radius circle centered on Unit 1 and encompasses approximately 1,100 acres. The exclusion area boundary coincides with the restricted area boundary.

On pages 7, 8, and 9 of this attachment, the following figures are provided:

Figure 1: Portion of WCGS USAR Figure 2.1-6 showing the exclusion-restricted area boundary, the site boundary and the approximate location of the parcel of land to be donated.

Figure 2: Satellite image showing the approximate location of the parcel of land to be donated in relation to the WCGS.

Figure 3: Close-up image showing the location of the parcel to be donated in relation to the existing Stringtown Cemetery.

Public use of Coffey County Lake has been evaluated and is permitted, except in designated restricted zones such as the Ultimate Heat Sink, Circulating Water intake and discharge areas, areas around active bald eagle nests, and regions north of the plant access road. These restrictions are communicated through instructional materials, buoys, and other appropriate markers.

This property has not been impacted by WCGS operations and was evaluated for environmental concerns. No environmental concerns have been identified. This property has not been used for activities that could have radioactively contaminated the property. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.83(b), WCNOC requests approval for the release of this non-impacted property from the jurisdiction of Facility Operating License No. NPF-42 for WCGS.

Description of the Property Stringtown Cemetery Board requested a land donation from WCNOC. Currently, they own 5.11 acres 0.80 miles NNW of Site. They requested 4.46 additional acres to expand the cemetery to the north. The Board had the area surveyed and appraised. The specific parcel of land in question is outside of the WCGS exclusion area, across the Coffey County Lake, located next to an already privately owned cemetery in use. The additional parcel would be located north of the cemetery, and further from the 1,200-meter exclusion area, to allow additional land use for the cemetery. If expanding to create more burial sites, this would likely involve vegetation removal and ground-disturbing activities. Such work typically includes clearing land and grading. While there is no public documentation confirming construction or expansion plans at this time, any effort to increase burial capacity would inherently disrupt the land to some extent. The land is currently outside the WCGS exclusion area and is not impacted by plant operations.

Schedule for Property Release This property is requested to be scheduled for release by December 31, 2025.

Attachment to 001119 Page 2 of 9 Results of 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation 10 CFR 50.83(b) requires for non-impacted areas that the licensee submit the results of the evaluation performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. Accordingly, WCNOC has performed a 10 CFR 50.59 review of the free release of this property.

The property transfer involves approximately 4.46 acres of the approximately 11,882 acres owned by WCNOC. This transfer does not involve property that is actively used for normal operations or that is needed for the site's Emergency Plan. The Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) shows the current land in Figure 2.1-6 (Figure 1 of this attachment) outside the exclusion area and has no other mention of the property.

The 10 CFR 50.59 review assessed the impact of the change in the site boundary on offsite dose calculations and effluent releases and concluded that the change:

• does not adversely affect any design function as described in the USAR,

• does not adversely affect how a design function as described in the USAR is performed or controlled,

• does not revise or replace an evaluation method used to establish design basis or safety

analysis,

• does not involve a test or experiment not described in the USAR, and

• does not require a change to the Technical Specifications or Facility Operating License.

Therefore, this change in property ownership does not require prior NRC approval under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

Historical Site Assessment In accordance with 10 CFR 50.83(a)(2) a historical site assessment was performed to identify potential or known sources of radioactive material or radioactive contamination that may have affected the property to be released.

The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report submitted to the NRC each year includes summaries, interpretations, and analyses of trends of the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). It also includes environmental radiation measurements taken pursuant to the locations specified in the table and figures in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).

This information is used to calculate the offsite dose to the public. The radiation dose to the public in the vicinity of WCGS is calculated by using the concentration of radioactive nuclides from each gaseous effluent release coupled with historical weather conditions. The dose from WCGS gaseous radioactive effluents has been a small fraction of the limit for the maximum exposed member of the public.

Attachment to 001119 Page 3 of 9 Gaseous effluents from WCGS are released via monitored ground-level release points, including the Unit Vent and Radwaste Vent. Each gaseous effluent release point is continuously monitored, and periodic sampling and analysis are conducted as specified in the ODCM.

WCNOC strictly controls effluents to ensure radioactivity released to the environment is maintained as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) and does not exceed federal release limit criteria.

Effluent controls include the operation of radiation monitoring systems within the plant as well as an offsite environmental analysis program.

The Radioactive Effluent Release Report submitted to the NRC each year provides a detailed description of gaseous and liquid radioactive effluents, as well as solid waste released from WCGS.

The material provided shall be consistent with the objectives outlined in the ODCM and process control program and in conformance with 10 CFR 50.36a and 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. These annual reports show that WCGS continues to be operated well within federally required limits for offsite dose to the public.

The REMP is conducted continuously for WCGS in accordance with the ODCM. As reported in the annual Radiological Environmental Operating Reports, during each yearly reporting period, hundreds of analyses are performed on hundreds of samples. Assessments of the data gathered for the yearly reports and comparing the results with preoperational data show there has been no adverse radiological impact on this property.

In addition, a review of corrective action documents was completed for events that could have had a potential for releasing radioactive material to this property. The review identified no recorded events of any spills, leaks, or uncontrolled release of radioactive material on this land.

The findings of this review show the following:

1. The property has not been used for plant operations.

2. The property has not been used for storage of any radioactive material or waste.

3. There are no event records that any spills, leaks, or uncontrolled release of radioactive material have ever occurred on the property.

4. Radiological monitoring of surface water samples from Coffey County Lake and surrounding areas has consistently shown only low-level tritium activity attributable to plant operations.

These levels remain well below regulatory limits, and no liquid radioactive releases have impacted the parcel of land under consideration.

5. No state or local agency has required additional groundwater monitoring or remedial actions on the property.

6. Multiple hydrogeologic studies have been conducted at WCGS. This property does not impact those studies.

7. The Radioactive Groundwater Protection Program (RGPP) conducts periodic monitoring of shallow groundwater. This program shows that shallow groundwater continues to flow predominantly south towards the Coffey County Lake. This property is located north of the plant,

Attachment to 001119 Page 4 of 9 therefore, no contamination of this property through normal groundwater gradient flow occurs from plant discharges.

8. In assessing the data gathered for the REMP annual report and comparing each year's results with preoperational baseline data, it is concluded that the operation of WCGS has had no adverse radiological impact on this property.

WCGS continues to implement a radiation protection program commensurate with 10 CFR Part 20.

This property has no reasonable potential for residual radioactivity in excess of natural background or fallout levels; therefore, this property qualifies as a "non-impacted area" as defined in 10 CFR 50.2.

Based on the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment document, historic and cultural resources do exist in the area surrounding Stringtown Cemetery. The cemetery itself originated as a private burial ground for the Roberds family, with the first deed recorded in 1871. Subsequent deeds expanded the cemetery and transferred ownership to the Stringtown Cemetery Association. These records reflect the long-standing cultural significance of the site. Additionally, the area was historically home to several rural farm families, as confirmed by aerial photographs, a rural directory, and a personal interview with a local resident. The presence of the Santa Fe railroad right-of-way further contributes to the area's historical context. No evidence of environmental contamination or industrial activity was found, reinforcing the area's primarily agricultural and residential heritage.

Evaluation of the Effect of Proposed Property Transfer WCNOC has evaluated the effect of transferring the property in accordance with the criteria in 10 CFR 50.83(a)(1) to ensure that WCNOC will continue to comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements that may be affected by the release of the property. WCNOC has confirmed that the property transfer does not require a change to the Technical Specifications or Facility Operating License.

WCNOC's results of the evaluation demonstrating compliance with each of the areas specified in 10 CFR 50.83(a)(1)(i)-(vi) are presented below:

(i) The dose to individual members of the public does not exceed the limits and standards of 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart D. WCNOC maintains strict control over effluent releases to ensure that any radioactive discharges to the environment remain as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) and fully comply with federal release limit criteria. These controls include the use of radiation monitoring systems within the plant and a comprehensive offsite environmental analysis program. The release of this property does not alter any existing measures in place to meet public dose limits. WCNOC has confirmed that this property has never been used for any radiological activities.

(ii) The impact on the effectiveness of emergency planning and physical security has been evaluated. No credit is taken for this property in either the Emergency Plan or the Security Plan.

Therefore, the transfer of this property has no adverse effect on either plan.

(iii) Effluent releases remain within license conditions. Additionally, because the property is located at a considerable distance from the plant and is not situated downstream of any discharge structures, it is not at risk of being impacted by effluent release. The plants programs to maintain effluent releases in accordance with license conditions remain in effect and the transfer

Attachment to 001119 Page 5 of 9 of this property does not impact those programs. As a result, effluent releases from WCGS will continue to comply with all licensing requirements.

(iv) The transfer of this land does not have any effect on the REMP or the ODCM, and neither requires revision as a result of this property transfer.

(v) The siting criteria of 10 CFR 100 continue to be met. The transfer of this property has been reviewed with respect to the siting criteria in 10 CFR 100 and it has no effect on meeting these criteria. In addition, the limits of 10 CFR 50.67, "Alternative source term," have been reviewed and the transfer has no effect on meeting these criteria.

(vi) Other statutory and regulatory requirements continue to be met. The transfer of this property does not result in any changes to WCGSs policies or procedures, which continue to ensure full compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

In summary, based on the considerations discussed above, this property transfer has no impact on WCNOC's continued compliance with applicable NRC regulatory standards.

10 CFR 50.83 (b)(5)

Under 10 CFR 50.83(b)(5), a request for NRC approval of a release of non-impacted areas must include the reasons for concluding that the environmental impacts associated with the proposed release of property will be bounded by appropriate previously issued environmental impact statements.

The original Final Environmental Statement (FES) for WCGS Unit 1 was issued in June 1982.

WCNOC has reviewed the environmental impacts associated with the proposed release of the subject property and considered those impacts in light of the FES. The review did not identify any significant new environmental impacts or significant changes from the environmental impacts previously assessed by the NRC.

In particular, the review found that:

The land transfer does not result in any measurable increase in offsite radiation dose or changes to effluent releases The ODCM confirms that dose calculations are based on actual isotopic analyses, effluent flow rates and historical meteorological data, using NRC-approved models. All releases remain well below regulatory limits No changes to effluent release pathways are associated with the property. The REMP continues to monitor environmental radiation levels at the revised site boundary and surrounding areas.

The program includes surface water, groundwater, air, and vegetation sampling, and has consistently shown compliance with dose limits and environmental protection standards.

The site boundary definition in the ODCM (as the boundary between unrestricted and restricted areas) remains unaffected by the release of this parcel. The property lies outside the controlled area and has not been used for plant operations or radioactive material storage.

The meteorological model in Appendix B of the ODCM uses the XOQDOQ code and historical weather data to calculate dispersion and deposition parameters. These calculations confirm that the environmental impacts of effluents are bounded and conservative.

Attachment to 001119 Page 6 of 9 The WCNOC REMP accounts for the revised site area boundary, and no increases in effects are anticipated.

Accordingly, WCNOC concludes that the environmental impacts associated with the proposed release of the subject property are bounded by the NRC's previous reviews of the WCGS facility.

Conclusion WCNOC has evaluated the impact of releasing this property, and based on the reviews stated, the release of the property has been properly described as non-impacted. Accordingly, WCNOC requests NRC approval of the release of this property in accordance with 10 CFR 50.83(b).

Stringtown Cemetery Phase I Environmental Site Assessment This document serves as the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for the land owned by Evergy Kansas South, Inc. (an undivided 47% interest), Evergy Metro Inc. (an undivided 47%

interest), and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (an undivided 6% interest) that is being considered for donation to the Stringtown Cemetery District. Throughout the remainder of this document the land being considered for donation with be referred to as Evergys Property.

The focus of this Environmental Site Assessment will include a historic review of Stringtown Cemetery deeds, rural residency in the immediate vicinity of the cemetery, and those historic land use practices that may have resulted in environmental contamination.

Evergys Property is located in Coffey County, Kansas, Hampden Township, in Section6, Township 21 South Range 16 East. The legal description of the land, as surveyed and described by Aaron C. Davis, PS1368, of GeoTech, Inc. on March 4, 2024, is as follows:

A tract in the North Half (N1/2) of Section Six, Township Twenty-one South, Range Sixteen East of the 6th Prime Meridian, Coffey County, Kansas, and being more particularly described as follows:

Commencing at the Southwest corner of the Fractional NW1/4 of said Section Six; Thence North 88° 51' 01" East on the South line of said Fractional NW1/4 for 1848.00 feet (28 chains);

Thence North 01° 51' 56" West parallel with the East line of said Fractional NW1/4 and on the West line of the original cemetery (Deed Book 137 pg. 75) for 470.00 feet to the Northwest corner of said original cemetery and the point of beginning; Thence continuing North 01° 51' 56" West parallel with the East line of said Fractional NW1/4 for 400.00 feet; Thence North 88° 51' 01" East parallel with the South line of said Fractional NW1/4 for 485.30 feet, to a point 44 feet East of the East line of said Fractional NW1/4; Thence South 01 °51' 56" East for 400.00 feet to the Northeast corner of the original cemetery (Deed Book 137, pg. 75);

Thence South 88° 51' 01" West along the North line of said original cemetery for 485.30 feet to the point of beginning. Containing 4.46 acres and subject to road easement.

Stringtown Cemetery Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Stringtown Cemetery Deed History According to the HistoryGeo.com website, (https://www.historygeo.com/v3/viewers/) the first land owner of the NW1/4 of Section 6, Township 21 South, Range 16 East was Elliot James. In 1860, James Buchanan, President of the United States, granted Elliot James a patent for the property as Bounty Land for his military service. Elliot James never registered a deed for this property in Coffey County.

Later, Stringtown Cemetery began as a private cemetery for the Roberds family.

On January 28, 1871, Timothy and Phoebe Roberds recorded the first deed for formation of a unnamed cemetery. (Deed Book L page 574). On November 12, 1887, Sylvanus Roberds recorded a deed that awarded additional acreage to the Wolf Creek Cemetery. (Deed Book 45 page 245). On February 26, 1931, the Trustees of the Wolf Creek Cemetery Association recorded a deed that transferred ownership of the land to Stringtown Cemetery Association.

(Deed Book 102 page 61). On June 2, 1980, W.F. Dreiling, Peoples National Bank and Trust Company, Trustee, recorded a deed granting additional acreage to Stringtown Cemetery Association. (Deed Book 137 page 75).

Copies of each of the Stringtown Cemetery deeds noted above are included as Attachment #2.

Rural Residency This Environmental Site Assessment utilized two aerial photographs, excerpts from a Coffey County Rural Directory and a personal interview to confirm the rural residency of Section 6, Township 21 South, Range 16 East.

A Kansas Geological Survey website (https://www.kgs.ku.edu/Magellan/Aerials/index.html) was utilized to located historical aerial photographs of Coffey County. On August 2, 1944, a photograph captured an image of Stringtown Cemetery and the local farm residents.

Historically, seven rural farm families lived in the immediate vicinity of Stringtown Cemetery. On March 28, 1978, a photograph captured an image of Stringtown Cemetery, but due to construction of Wolf Creek Generating Station, the rural farm residents had been displaced.

The 1944 aerial photograph highlights the Stringtown Cemetery location relative to the farmsteads in the area. Initially, the names of the local farm families were identified by using a Coffey County Rural Directory. Subsequently, Larry Skillman, the Stringtown Cemetery Board President, was interviewed to confirm the accuracy of the Rural Directory. Mr. Skillman was born on March 22, 1941 and as the fourth generation of his family to live in Coffey County, he has strong first-hand knowledge of who his neighbors were and where they lived.

The 1944 aerial photograph also clearly identifies the Santa Fe railroad right-of-way that existed in the vicinity of Stringtown Cemetery.

A markup copies of both the 1944 and 1978 aerial photographs have been included as Attachment #3. The excerpts from the Coffey County Rural Directory have been included as Attachment #4.

Page 2

Stringtown Cemetery Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Historical Land Use Practices Historical land use practices were determined by using the 1944 aerial photograph, the 1978 aerial photograph and the personal interview with Mr. Skillman.

Both the 1944 and 1978 aerial photographs were digitally enlarged and enhanced to allow visualization of exact location of Stringtown Cemetery. This same process was utilized to recognize the exact locations of the surrounding farmsteads and the agricultural practices that have occurred in the vicinity of the Stringtown Cemetery. Only standard family farming practices consistent with planting row crops and livestock management were identified. Mr. Skillman confirmed this conclusion. He also confirmed that no rural markets or retail activities of any kind ever existed in vicinity of the Stringtown Cemetery. Additionally, Mr. Skillman confirmed no other types of business activities, such as blacksmith shops or concentrated animal feeding operations, have existed in the vicinity of Stringtown Cemetery.

Potential Environmental Contamination This Environmental Site Assessment utilized the two aerial photographs, the GeoTech Inc.

survey, the Kurtz Auction & Realty Service appraisal and the personal interview with Mr.

Skillman to address the potential for environmental contamination in the vicinity of Stringtown Cemitery.

Both the 1944 and 1978 aerial photographs only visualized standard family farming practices in the area surrounding Stringtown Cemetery. Neither the GeoTech Inc. survey nor the Kuntz appraisal recognized any type of environmental concerns. The personal interview with Mr.

Skillman provided the strongest evidence that nothing out of the ordinary occurred in this rural community. Mr. Skillman was able to provide first-hand knowledge that no catastrophic events such as train derailments ever occurred near Stringtown Cemetery.

The appraisal prepared by Kurtz Auction & Realty Service has been included as Attachment #5.

It is noted that on August 1, 1975 the Santa Fe Railroad filed a Declaration of Abandonment for their right-of-way in Coffey County. (Deed Book 132 pages 79-85). Also on June 7, 1976, The Peoples National Bank and Trust Company as Trustee, recorded a permanent road right-of way easement to Coffey County. (Deed Book S pages 531-532). This was for the abandonment of a portion of the present-day Native Road west of the cemetery. Neither document acknowledged any environmental concerns associated with the abandonments.

This Environmental Site Assessment did not recognize or uncover evidence of environmental contamination within Stringtown Cemetery or on Evergys Property surrounding the cemetery.

I BEGAN BY RESEARCHING THE RECORDS IN THE COFFEY COUNTY ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPT. AND THE REGISTER OF DEEDS OFFICE. SOME REFERENCE TIES WERE FOUND ON HUBTACK SITE, AS WELL AS AT THE COFFEY COUNTY ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPT. A SURVEY AND DESCRIPTION OF A COUNTY ROAD FROM THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF SEC. 6 TO THE CEMETERY WAS OBTAINED (RESOLUTION #582), AS WELL AS VARIOUS PLATS OF SURVEY ON THE WOLF CREEK ROAD (E. SIDE OF SEC. 6) BY COOK, FLATT & STROBEL, & ALSO A SURVEY BY J. TAYLOR, LS 713, FOR WOLF CREEK ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RANGE LINE BETWEEN R15EAND 16E (ESTABLISHING THE RANGE LINE). THE SOUTHWEST AND S4 CORNERS OF SEC.

12-T21 S-R15E WERE LOCATED BY REFERENCE TIES AND TIED WITH OUR NETWORK ROVER. THE NORTHWEST CORNER AND THE NORTHEAST CORNERS OF SEC. 6 WERE LOCATED BY REFERENCE TIES AND TIED WITH OUR NETWORK ROVER. WE THEN LOOKED FOR THE Pl POINTS THAT WERE SET ON THE CEMETERY ROAD SURVEY (1978 AND 1997) BY COUNTY FORCES. THE ROAD TO STRINGTOWN CEMETERY WAS ESTABLISHED USING THE CURVE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ROAD (1997). MONUMENTS WERE LOCATED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS WITHIN THE CEMETERY (CONCRETE DISCS IN GROUND). THE CENTER CORNER WAS SEARCHED FOR, BUT NOT FOUND, AS WELL AS THE W4 CORNER OF SAID SEC.

THE E4 CORNER WAS RESET AT THE CALL OF 1.5' WEST OF THE CENTERLINE OF THE ROAD AND AT THE DISTANCE NOTED ON THE COOK, FLATT & STROBEL SURVEY. THE SECOR. WAS RESET USING INFORMATION FROM SAID CFS SURVEY, WHICH FITS THE PHYSCIAL EVIDENCE, IE., IN CENTER OF ROADS TO THEN, S, & E. THE RANGE LINE WAS ESTABLISHED BY USING THE INFORMATION FROM THE J. TAYLOR SURVEY BY CREATING THE SW COR. SEC. 7-T21S-R16E (SECOR. OF SEC. 12-T21S-R15E) AT LINE EXTENSION OF THE SOUTH LINE OF THE SW1/4 OF SEC. 12-21S-15E TO THE EAST AND DOUBLE THE DISTANCE FROM THE SW COR. AND THE S4 COR. OF SEC. 12-21-15, PER PRIOR SURVEY BY J.

THE SW COR. OF SEC. 6 (IN THE LAKE) WAS PROPORTIONED USING THE GLO DISTANCES FROM THE W4 COR. SEC. 6 TO THE SW COR. SEC. 7, AND THE S4 COR OF SEC. 6 (IN THE LAKE) WAS ALSO PROPORTIONED USING THE GLO DISTANCES BETWEEN THE SW COR. AND SECOR. OF SEC. 6. THE N4 COR. WAS ESTABLISHED AT THE SAME DISTANCE FROM NE COR.
