SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL OF TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 3 AND 4, FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
Dear Chairman Cypress:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a review of the environmental effects of renewing the operating licenses for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point). Turkey Point is operated by Florida Power & Light Company and is located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, approximately 25 miles south of the city of Miami. As part of its review, the NRC has prepared a draft site-specific Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to its Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437. The draft SEIS includes analyses of relevant environmental issues, including potential impacts to historic, archaeological and cultural resources from activities associated with license renewal.
As stated in our letter to your tribe dated May 24, 2018, the NRC is conducting Section 106 consultations in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) through the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as outlined in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR) Section 800.8(c). The NRC has determined that the area of potential effects (APE) for this subsequent license renewal is the area at the power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by ongoing routine maintenance and operational activities during the license renewal term.
As discussed in the draft SEIS, the NRC staffs preliminary determination is that subsequent license renewal would not adversely affect any known historic properties. Further, the NRCs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision-makers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on (1) the analysis and findings in the site-specific supplement to NUREG-1437 (Supplement 5, Second Renewal); (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal and local agencies; (3) the environmental report submitted by Florida Power & Light Company; (3) the NRCs environmental review; and (5) consideration of public comments received during the scoping process.
A copy of the draft SEIS is enclosed. The draft SEIS is also available through the web-based version of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html under ADAMS Accession No. ML19078A330.
B. Cypress Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8(c), we are requesting your comments on the draft SEIS and on our preliminary conclusions. Electronic comments on the draft SEIS may be submitted to the NRC by accessing www.regulations.gov and searching for Docket ID NRC-2018-0101. Written comments should be submitted by mail to the NRC at:
ATTN: Program Management, Announcements and Editing Staff Office of Administration Mail Stop: TWFN-7A60M U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Please note that the public comment period for the draft SEIS ends on May 20, 2019.
The NRC plans to hold two public meetings to discuss the findings of the draft SEIS on May 1, 2019, at Homestead City Hall, 100 Civic Court, Homestead, FL 33030. The first meeting will begin with an open house at 12:00 p.m., followed by an NRC staff presentation and opportunity to hear public comments at 1:00 p.m. Similarly, the second meeting will begin with an open house at 5:00 p.m., followed by an NRC staff presentation and opportunity to hear public comments at 6:00 p.m. A Notice of Availability of the draft SEIS will be placed in the Federal Register and will provide more details about this meeting. A separate Notice of Availability of the draft SEIS will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. If you any questions regarding this matter, please contact Nancy Martinez, Physical Scientist, at 630-829-9734 or by e-mail at Nancy.Martinez@nrc.gov.
