Notice of Intent To Prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Remediation of Area IV and the Northern Buffer Zone of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory and Conduct Public Scoping Meetings

概要

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces its intent to prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to evaluate additional alternatives for cleanup of soils in Area IV, including the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC), as well as the Northern Buffer Zone (NBZ) of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) (DOE/EIS-0402- S1) in eastern Ventura County, California, adjacent to Los Angeles County. DOE's operations bordered the NBZ. DOE is responsible for soil cleanup in Area IV and the portions of the NBZ where DOE's activities impacted the soils. This SEIS, prepared to supplement the "Final Environmental Impact Statement for Remediation of Area IV and the Northern Buffer Zone of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory and Conduct Public Scoping Meetings" (Final SSFL Area IV EIS) (DOE/EIS-0402; November 2018), will include additional soils remediation alternatives not previously evaluated. DOE is initiating a 60-day public scoping period. DOE plans to hold two public scoping meetings.
