Private Fuel Storage, L.L.C. (PFS), proposes to construct and operate an independent spent fuel storage installation on the Reservation of the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians. The Reservation is located geographically within Tooele County, Utah. Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) would be transported by rail from existing U.S. commercial reactor sites to Skull Valley. To transport the SNF from the existing rail line to the proposed facility, PFS proposed to construct and operate a rail siding and a 51 m (32 mile) rail line from the rail line near Low, Utah to the reservation.

The purpose of this environmental impact statement (EIS) is to provide information on potential environmental impacts that could result from a Proposed Action to construct, operate and monitor, and eventually close a geologic repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at the Yucca Mountain site in Nye County, Nevada. The EIS also provides information on potential environmental impacts from an alternative referred to as the No-Action Alternative, under which there would be no development of a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.
