The USEC EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts of DOE leasing facility K-101 and portions of K-1600, K-1220 and K-1037 at the ETTP to USEC for a minimum 3-year period, with additional option periods consistent with the Oak Ridge Accelerated Clean-up Plan (ACP) Agreement. In July 2002,USEC notified DOE that it intends to use certain leased equipment at an off-site facility at the Centrifuge Technology Center (CTC) on the Boeing Property. The purpose of the USEC Gas Centrifuge R&D Project is to develop an economically attractive gas centrifuge machine and process using DOE’s centrifuge technology.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is in the process of selecting a ground water compliance strategy for the Gunnison, Colorado, Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project site. (Figures 1 and 2). This Environmental Assessment (EA) discusses two alternatives and the effects associated with each. The two alternatives are (1) natural flushing coupled with institutional controls and continued monitoring and (2) no action. The compliance strategy must meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ground water standards defined in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 192, Subpart B, in areas where ground water beneath and around the site is contaminated as a result of past milling operations. It has been determined that contamination in the ground water at the Gunnison site consists of soluble residual radioactive material (RRM) as defined in the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA).
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed construction of the Missouri Alternative & Renewable Energy Technology (MARET) Center.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing three ground water compliance strategies for the Shiprock, New Mexico, Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project site. These proposed strategies were derived through consultation with representatives of the Navajo UMTRA Program, the Navajo Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies. The strategies are designed to minimize risk to human health and the environment that result from mill-related constituents in ground water and surface water.
This Environmental Assessment (EA) presents the associated environmental impacts from the candidate energy conservation standards for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) prepared this environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with proposed and alternative actions to achieve permit compliance at selected industrial wasatewater outfalls located at the Savannah River Site.
The United States Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (USDOE/NNSA) is preparing to implement proposed corrective measures for perched groundwater, underlying and in the vicinity of Pantex.
DOE prepared this Energy Conservation Standard Technical Support Document for the Final Rule stage of its energy conservation standards rulemaking on packaged terminal air conditioners and packaged terminal heat pumps.
Platte River is proposing to add additional generation at its Rawhide Energy Station, located approximately 18 miles north of Fort Collins, to serve increasing demands for electricity. In order to deliver the additional power generation to customers, the electric transmission system in the Fort Collins area needs to be upgraded. These upgrades require adding new wires to existing power poles or, in some areas, rebuilding the existing transmission line (see Figure 1-1). The proposed upgrades and rebuilds will be within the rights-of-way (ROW) of existing lines. The ROW width of the existing lines are 75-120 feet. The ROWs for the proposed lines will be 75- 100 feet within the ROWs of the existing lines. Some of the transmission lines that need to be improved are owned by the U.S Department of Energy (DOE), Western Area Power Administration (Western).
The proposed Federal action is to provide funding, through a cooperative agreement with the University of Kentucky Research Foundation (UKRF), Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER), for the design, construction, and operation of an advanced coal ash beneficiation processing plant at Kentucky Utilities (KU) Ghent Power Station in Carroll County, Kentucky.
