This Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) contains an assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the construction and operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) for the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) fuel debris at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental laboratory (INEEL). US Department of Energy-Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) is proposing to design, construct, and operate at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP). The TMI-2 fuel debris would be removed from wet storage, transported to the ISFSI, and placed in storage modules on a concrete basemat. As part of its overall spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management program, the US DOE has prepared a final programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) that provides an overview of the spent fuel management proposed for INEEL, including the construction and operation of the TMI-2 ISFSI. In addition, DOE-ID has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) to describe the environmental impacts associated with the stabilization of the storage pool and the construction/operation of the ISFSI at the ICPP. As provided in NRC's NEPA procedures, a FEIS of another Federal agency may be adopted in whole or in part in accordance with the procedures outlined in 40 CFR 1506.3 of the regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). Under 40 CFR 1506.3(b), if the actions covered by the original EIS and the proposed action are substantially the same, the agency adopting another agency's statement is not required to recirculate it except as a final statement. The NRC has determined that its proposed action is substantially the same as actions considered in DOE's environmental documents referenced above and, therefore, has elected to adopt the DOE documents as the NRC FEIS.

The purpose of the Proposed Action is to privatize MFH at Langley AFB. Privatizing MFH includes conveying 1,496 existing units to a privatization contractor and leasing the property on which the units are located to the contractor. This EA evaluates the No Action Alternative, the Proposed Action, the Maximum Development Alternative, and cumulative impacts of other actions. Under the No Action Alternative, the 1,496 existing MFH units would not be conveyed to a privatization contractor and the units would continue to be used to house military personnel and dependents. The Proposed Action and Maximum Development Alternative include conveying 1,496 units and associated infrastructure and leasing 350 acres associated with the MFH to a privatization contractor. Under the Proposed Action Alternative, the contractor would demolish 1,104 units in the Bethel Manor area and construct 1,049 replacement units, construct two units in the HTA area, renovate 109 units (47 units in the LTA and 62 units in the HTA area), and convey?as is? 270 units (148 units in the 2000 area of Bethel Manor, 72 units in the LTA area, and 50 units in the HTA area). The contractor would operate, maintain, and manage an MFH inventory totaling 1,430 units. Under the Maximum Development Alternative, the contractor would demolish all 1,252 units in Bethel Manor and construct 1,211 replacement units. No units would be renovated at Bethel Manor under the Maximum Development Alternative. Construction and renovation activities in the LTA and HTA housing areas would remain the same as the Proposed Action. The privatization contractor would manage an inventory totaling 1,444 units. The privatization contractor would manage the housing development for a minimum of 50 years under the Proposed Action or Maximum Development Alternative. Resources considered in the impact analysis were: noise, land use, coastal zone, air.
