| Environmental Review Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS)
| |
| - Addresses environmental issues common to all plants (or a distinct subset of plants) during the license renewal term Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
| |
| - Addresses site-specific environmental issues during the license renewal term
| |
| - Includes any new and significant information regarding generic issues, an evaluation of alternatives, and an evaluation of cumulative impacts
| |
| | |
| SEIS: Environmental Issues Evaluated
| |
| | |
| How Impacts are Defined
| |
| * SMALL
| |
| - Effects are not detectable or are so minor that they will neither destabilize nor noticeably alter any important attribute of the resource
| |
| * MODERATE
| |
| - Effects are sufficient to alter noticeably, but not to destabilize important attributes of the resource
| |
| * LARGE
| |
| - Effects are clearly noticeable and are sufficient to destabilize important attributes of the resource
| |
| | |
| How Impacts are Defined
| |
| * Federally Listed Species and Critical Habitat (Endangered Species Act)
| |
| - No effect
| |
| - May affect but is not likely to adversely affect/adversely modify
| |
| - May affect and is likely to adversely affect/adversely modify
| |
| * Essential Fish Habitat (Magnuson-Stevens Act)
| |
| - No adverse impacts
| |
| - Minimal adverse impacts
| |
| - Substantial adverse impact
| |
| | |
| How Impacts are Defined (continued)
| |
| * Cultural and Historic Resources (National Historic Preservation Act)
| |
| - Would adversely affect
| |
| - Would not adversely affect
| |
| * Environmental Justice (Executive Order 12898)
| |
| - Disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects

| |
| Resource Area Impacts
| |
| * Special Status Species

| Point Beach Draft SEIS Preliminary Results (cont.)
| |
| Resource Area Impacts
| |
| * Historic and Cultural
| |
| * Would not adversely affect Resources known historic properties
| |
| * Environmental Justice
| |
| * No disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects on minority and low-income populations
| |
| * Cumulative Impacts
| |
| * See SEIS Section 3.16
| |
| * Postulated Accidents
| |
| * See SEIS Appendix F (SAMA)
| |
| | |
| Cumulative Impacts
| |
| * Overall impacts to the environment including past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions
| |
| * Actions that were considered include:
| |
| - Other projects at the Point Beach site
| |
| - Electric generation facilities
| |
| - Manufacturing and mining facilities
| |
| - Water supply and treatment facilities
| |
| - Parks and recreation sites
| |
| - Transportation facilities
| |
| - Other construction projects
| |
| | |
| Alternatives
| |
| * Alternative energy sources analyzed (power replacement)
| |
| - New nuclear (small modular reactor)
| |
| - Natural gas combined-cycle
| |
| - Combination alternative (small modular reactor, solar, and onshore wind)
| |
| * No-action alternative
| |
| | |
| Preliminary Conclusion
| |
| * The adverse environmental impacts of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant license renewal are not so great that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
