Decommissioning of the Depleted Uranium Impact Area of the Jefferson Proving Ground, Madison, IN; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and To Conduct a Scoping Process

Resumo

The NRC intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the decommissioning of the depleted uranium (DU) impact area (the Delta Impact Area) of the Jefferson Proving Ground (JPG), Madison, Indiana. The DU impact area was used by the U.S. Army, during the period of 1983-1994, to perform testing of DU projectiles and munitions in accordance with NRC License No. SUB-1435. The U.S. Army has requested an exemption (under 10 CFR 40.14) from NRC requirements in 10 CFR 40.4 to allow termination of the license with land use restrictions on the Delta Impact Area. This notice is to inform the public and any concerned parties of NRC's intent to prepare an EIS in conjunction with this proposed action and to conduct a scoping process that will include a public scoping meeting.
