Positive Declaration Extension of Scoping Period
Cattaraugus County -
The New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYS ERDA),
as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Phase 2
Decommissioning of the West Valley Site may have a significant adverse
impact on the environment and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement
must be prepared.
On
February 21, 2018, the New York State Energy Research and Development
Authority (NYS ERDA) and the United State Department of Energy (US DOE)
announced their intent to jointly
prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for
Decommissioning and/or Long-Term Stewardship at the West Valley
Demonstration Project and Western New York Nuclear Service Center
(DOE/EIS-0226-S1) (SEIS) and to conduct a public scoping process. The
SEIS will assess the range of reasonable alternatives for Phase 2
decommissioning of the West Valley Site.
NYS
ERDA and US DOE invited public comments on the scope and content of the
SEIS for the West Valley Site during a public scoping period through
April 23, 2018. NYSERDA and DOE
have determined to extend the public comment period deadline from Monday, April 23, 2018, to Friday, May 25, 2018.
Written
comments on the scope of the SEIS, requests to be placed on the SEIS
mailing list, and requests for information may be submitted by U.S. mail
