Draft Decommissioning and/or Long-Term Stewardship EIS
 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the New York State
Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) are joint lead agencies in preparation of the Draft Decommissioning and/or Long-Term Stewardship EIS,
while the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) are cooperating agencies. NYSDEC and the New York State Department
of Health are involved agencies under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA).
This Draft EIS analyzes alternatives for decommissioning the West Valley site and/or long-term stewardship, as well as a
No Action Alternative as required by the National Environmental Policy Act and SEQRA. The Proposed Action is the completion of the West Valley Demonstration Project and the decommissioning and/or
long-term management or stewardship of the Western New York Nuclear Service Center.
DOE needs to determine what, if any, institutional controls, engineered barriers, or stewardship provisions
would be needed. NYSERDA needs to determine the manner in which facilities and property for which NYSERDA is responsible,
including the State-licensed Disposal Area, will be managed or decommissioned, in accordance with applicable Federal
and State requirements. To this end, NYSERDA needs to determine what, if any, material or structures for which it is responsible will
remain on site, and what, if any, institutional controls, engineered barriers, or stewardship provisions would be needed.
