PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL PROJECTS OF INTEREST FORCUMULATIVE ANALYSIS: EASTALCO ALTERNATIVE SITE

A reconnaissance level search for projects in the vicinity of the Eastalco alternative siteand potentially of interest for the cumulative analysis of impacts was conducted. Thesearch included reviewing information provided in UniStar's Environmental Report (ER),NRC Request for Addition Information (RAI) responses, and review team trip reportsfiled relative to the August 2009 visit to the Eastalco site, and in reviewing the results ofvarious web-based searches.

Based on information obtained during the site visit, the review team was aware that anatural gas fired power plant had been proposed but not developed at Eastalco. Thepublically available Maryland Department of Natural Resources documents"Environmental Review of the Proposed Catoctin Power Project" (available athttp://www.esm.versar.com/PPRP/bibliography/PPSE-CAT-01/Catoctin%20DNR%2012-8112006-156.pdf ) and "Proposed Extension of the Air Quality Permit and Water SupplyConditions for the Proposed Catoctin Power Project" (available athttp://www.esm.versar.com/PPRP/bibliography/PPSE-CAT-01/PPS E_CAT_01 S.pdf)along with the publically available application for a Certificate of Public Convenience andNecessity were obtained and made available to the review team.

Additionally, the review team conducted web searches to identify other projects andactivities of potential interest. The review team queried an U. S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) database for recent Environmental Impact Statements (EISs)within the State of Maryland. This produced a listing of 44 documents, shown in file"Search Results I National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) I US EPA.pdf'. Projects onthis list within approximately 50-75 miles of Eastalco were added to a draft activitiestable. Based on its nearness to the Eastalco site, the web location of the publicallyavailable Monocacy National Battlefield General Management Plan, Implementation EIS(http://parkplanning.nps.gov/mono ) was made available to review team members.Based on its energy focus, the web location of the publically available Sparrows Pointfinal EIS (http://www.ferc.gov/industries/Ing/enviro/eis/2008/1 2-05-08-eis.asp ) also wasmade available to review team members. Based on its relationship to nuclear energyprocesses and its location, the publically available report NUREG-1873, "EnvironmentalImpact Statement for License Renewal of the National Bureau of Standards Reactor"was made available to review team members.

The U. S. EPA database of permits for water discharges in the geographic area ofEastalco was queried to identify water use projects and Superfund sites. This produceda map of discharge locations and sites, such as the one given in the file"EPANEPAssistEastalco.pdf". Hovering over a given location while online produces apopup window that identifies the permit holder.

The U.S. EPA AIRS database (http://www.epa.gov/oar/data/geosel.html) was queried toidentify major air pollutant sources, particularly of NOx and VOCs, in the states ofMaryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia near the geographic area of Eastalco. Thesequeries produced maps such as those shown in the file "mapNOxPA_WV_MD.pdf".Hovering over a location while online produces a popup window that identifies theemitter. Such maps and other information in the AIRS database were useful inidentifying other power plants and similar facilities in the region near Eastalco.

Projects in the Eastalco geographic area funded by the American Recovery andReinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) were reviewed by accessinghttp://www.recovery.gov. The web site of Frederick County, MD(http://www.co.frederick.md.us/) also was searched for information on transportation andeconomic development projects and priorities.

Google Earth was used to identify major parks, historical sites, Class I areas,recreational areas, etc. within 50-75 miles of Eastalco.

Representatives of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were consulted about other projectsthey were aware of in the Eastalco area, particularly those involving wetlands.

Results of procedures such as those identified above were used in generating a draftactivities table. This summary table was provided to review team subject matter expertswho were responsible for determining if a given activity contributed to their cumulative.impacts analysis, and for adding other projects or activities to the table.
