Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Ground Water Project

The Department of Energy (DOE) announces the availability of the final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Ground Water Project. The proposed action is to conduct the UMTRA Ground Water Project using appropriate Ground Water compliance strategies at 24 uranium processing sites based on a health and environmental risk-based framework designed to provide a consistent and flexible approach. The three other alternatives analyzed in the PEIS are: no action, active remediation to background levels, and passive remediation. Separate site-specific National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation will be prepared to address site-specific ground water conditions, human and environmental risks, participation of the Tribes, States, and local communities, and costs.
