Description
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering renewal of Crow Butte Resources, Inc.'s source and byproduct materials license SUA-1534 for continued in situ recovery (ISR) of uranium at the Crow Butte Project and for construction and operation of a satellite facility and support operations at the Marsland Expansion Area in Crawford, Nebraska, for an additional 20 years. The NRC staff has issued an environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI). The project involves uranium recovery operations, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning activities, with the goal of returning disturbed lands to conditions at least equal to pre-ISR conditions. The NRC has concluded that the proposed action will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and has determined that preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required.
