NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT OF THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL OF PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3

Dear Governor Butler-Wolfe:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a review of the environmental effects of renewing the operating licenses for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and

3. Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 are operated by Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) and are located in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania. 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 September 10, 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 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 subsequent 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 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 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 10, Second Renewal); (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal and local agencies; (3) the environmental report submitted by Exelon; (4) the NRCs independent environmental review; and (5) consideration of public comments received during the scoping process.

E. Butler-Wolfe 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. ML19210D453.

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-2018-0130. 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 September 23, 2019.

The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to discuss the findings of the draft SEIS on September 12, 2019, at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 Delta Road, Delta, PA 17314. The 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.

Dear Council of Chiefs:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a review of the environmental effects of renewing the operating licenses for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and

3. Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 are operated by Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) and are located in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania. 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 September 10, 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 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 subsequent 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 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 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 10, Second Renewal); (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal and local agencies; (3) the environmental report submitted by Exelon; (4) the NRCs independent 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. ML19210D453.

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-2018-0130. 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 September 23, 2019.

The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to discuss the findings of the draft SEIS on September 12, 2019, at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 Delta Road, Delta, PA 17314. The 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.

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 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 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 10, Second Renewal); (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal and local agencies; (3) the environmental report submitted by Exelon; (4) the NRCs independent environmental review; and (5) consideration of public comments received during the scoping process.
