Draft Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact

Statement

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) announces the availability of

the Draft Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement

(PEIS) for public review and comment. The draft PEIS has been prepared

in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969; Council on Environmental Quality regulations

implementing NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508; and DOE NEPA Implementing

Procedures, 10 CFR Part 1021. The draft PEIS evaluates waste management

strategies and siting alternatives for each of five waste types: high-

level waste; transuranic waste; low-level waste; low-level mixed waste;

and hazardous waste. The public is invited to comment on the draft PEIS

during a 90-day public comment period, which starts on the date of this

Notice.

ADDRESSES: Requests for information about and copies of the draft PEIS

should be directed to: Center for Environmental Management Information,

P.O. Box 23769, Washington, D.C. 20026-3769, 1-800-736-3282 or in

Washington, D.C.: 202-863-5084.

Written comments on the draft PEIS should be mailed to the

following address: U.S. Department of Energy, Waste Management PEIS

Comments, P.O. Box 3790, Gaithersburg, MD 20885-3790.

Availability of the draft PEIS: Copies of the draft PEIS have been

distributed to Federal, State, and local officials, as well as

agencies, organizations and individuals who may be interested or

affected. Copies of the draft PEIS and supporting technical reports are

also available for public review at the locations listed at the end of

this Notice.

DATES: The comment period on the draft PEIS will continue until

December 21, 1995. Comments postmarked after that date will be

considered to the extent practicable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 22, 1990, DOE issued a Notice of Intent (55 FR 42633) to

prepare the Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Programmatic

Environmental Impact Statement. DOE identified the proposed action as

follows: ``to formulate and implement an integrated environmental

restoration and waste management program in a safe and environmentally

sound manner and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and

standards.'' The Notice of Intent identified two separate sets of

alternatives to be evaluated, one for environmental restoration and one

for waste management. The public comment period on the Notice of Intent

extended from October 22, 1990 to February 19, 1991, with 23 public

scoping meetings at various locations across the country.

The availability of a draft Implementation Plan for the PEIS was

announced on February 4, 1992 (57 FR 4193), and after six public

workshops, the Plan was completed in January 1994 and made available to

the public (59 FR 7990, February 17, 1994). Subsequently, DOE concluded

that it would be inappropriate to make programmatic decisions regarding

environmental restoration strategies because such cleanup decisions

primarily reflect site- and/or project-specific conditions. The draft

PEIS now considers DOE-wide management strategies for five types of

radioactive and/or hazardous wastes and analyzes alternative sites at

which the wastes could be managed in the future. This approach is

consistent with the alternatives outlined for waste management in the

PEIS Implementation Plan.

Alternatives Considered

The draft PEIS evaluates treatment, storage and/or disposal

alternatives for five types of radioactive and/or hazardous waste in

DOE's existing inventory and waste to be generated from DOE's

operations over the next twenty years. Due to the complexity and unique

management requirements of each of the waste types, the draft PEIS

contains separate analyses of each waste type as follows: High-level

waste; transuranic waste; low-level waste; low-level mixed waste

(containing radioactive and hazardous components); and hazardous waste.

Four categories of management alternatives are considered. The No

Action (status quo) alternative would provide a baseline for comparing

other alternatives. The Decentralized alternatives would maintain waste

management activities essentially at the sites of generation. The

Regionalized alternatives would provide for fewer locations at which

waste is managed, and the Centralized alternatives would consolidate

waste management activities at one or two sites. Within each category,

there are a number of subalternatives for each waste type. The

alternatives analyzed for each waste type encompass the following

activities.

Storage of high-level waste;

Treatment and storage of transuranic waste;

Treatment and disposal of low-level and low-level mixed

waste; and

Treatment of hazardous waste.

Preferred Alternatives

The draft PEIS identifies DOE's preferred management alternatives

for three of the five waste types, as follows:

The No Action (status quo) alternative is preferred for

the treatment of hazardous wastes, which would continue the extensive

use of commercial facilities for non-wastewater hazardous waste and on-

site treatment of hazardous wastewater at DOE sites.

DOE prefers to continue to store high-level waste on-site

at the Hanford site, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, and the

Savannah River site, pending disposal in a geologic repository. This

preferred alternative can be accommodated under either the No Action,

Decentralized, or Regionalized alternatives. DOE does not yet have a

preference as to where West Valley Demonstration Project high-level

waste, once vitrified, will be stored, pending disposal in a geologic

repository.

The Regionalist Alternatives are preferred for low-level

mixed waste treatment because they most closely approximate DOE's

proposed Site Treatment Plans, under the Federal Facility Compliance

Act. However, ongoing negotiations with regulatory authorities

regarding the proposed Site Treatment Plans may affect this preference.

Invitation To Comment

The public is invited to submit written and oral comments on any or

all portions of the draft PEIS. Example topics on which DOE welcomes

comments include: the technical adequacy of the document; what

alternatives DOE should select upon completion of the document; and

what criteria DOE should use in making these selections.

DOE will hold a series of eleven public hearings according to the

schedule provided at the end of this section. In general, these

meetings will be supported by a televideo link with DOE Headquarters in

Washington, D.C. This approach will allow DOE Headquarters officials to

efficiently participate in the meetings in an interactive forum with

the public. The session format will provide for collection of written

and oral comments and will enable the public to discuss issues and

concerns with DOE managers. Participants who wish to speak at the

hearings are asked to register in advance by calling the following

toll-free number: 1-800-736-3282. Requests to speak that have not been

submitted prior to the hearings will be handled in the order in which

they are received during the meetings. DOE's responses to comments

received during the public comment period will be presented in the

final PEIS.
