NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 40-8912]
Grace Estate
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of opportunity for hearing concerning termination of
source materials license SUA-1480 and release of the three grace sites
in New Mexico for unrestricted use.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has accepted the Final Reclamation Report, submitted
by the firm of Comeau, Maldegen, Templeman & Indall, LLP (CMT&I),
representing the estate of Michael P. Grace, documenting the
reclamation of the three Grace sites in New Mexico. Site 1 is located
approximately 20 miles northeast of Gallup, New Mexico. Site 2 is
located near Bibo, New Mexico. Site 3 is located approximately 20 miles
northwest of Magdalena, New Mexico. An Environmental Assessment (EA)
was performed by the NRC staff in support of its review of the Grace
Estate's reclamation plan, in accordance with the requirements of Title
10, Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 51. The conclusion of the
EA was a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the proposed site
reclamation.
The NRC staff has determined that reclamation of the sites was
performed in accordance with Amendment No. 1 to Source Materials
License SUA-1480, which authorized the licensee, the estate of Michael
P. Grace (CMT&I), to perform radiological cleanup and surface
reclamation of three non-operating uranium extraction sites in New
Mexico. Based on this determination, and in accordance with the
licensee's request, Source Materials License SUA-1480 is hereby
terminated and the three sites are released for unrestricted use.
