Notice of Hearing (Notice of Evidentiary Hearing and Opportunity
To Provide Oral, Written, and Audio-Recorded Limited Appearance
Statements); In the Matter of Crow Butte Resources, Inc. (Marsland
Expansion Area)

July 27, 2018.
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel
Before the Licensing Board: G. Paul Bollwerk, III, Chairman, Dr.
Richard E. Wardwell, Dr. Thomas J. Hirons

The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hereby gives notice that it
will convene an evidentiary hearing to receive testimony and exhibits
in this proceeding regarding intervenor Oglala Sioux Tribe's (OST)
challenge to the May 2012 application of Crow Butte Resources, Inc.,
(CBR) seeking to amend the existing 10 CFR part 40 source materials
license for its Crow Butte in situ uranium recovery (ISR) site to
authorize CBR to operate a satellite ISR facility within the Marsland
Expansion Area (MEA) in Dawes County, Nebraska. The evidentiary hearing
will concern OST's admitted Contention 2, which raises hydrogeological-
related environmental and safety matters regarding the proposed license
amendment. In addition, the Board gives notice that, in accordance with
10 CFR 2.315(a) and the procedures specified below, it will entertain
oral, written, and audio-recorded limited appearance statements from
members of the public in connection with the issues raised by
Contention 2.

A. Matters To Be Considered

As set forth by the Licensing Board in a July 20, 2018 issuance,
OST Contention 2 provides as follows:

OST Contention 2: Failure to Include Adequate Hydrogeological
Information to Demonstrate Ability to Contain Fluid Migration
The application and final environmental assessment fail to
provide sufficient information regarding the geological setting of
the area to meet the requirements of 10 CFR part 40, Appendix A,
Criteria 4(e) and 5G(2); the National Environmental Policy Act; and
NUREG-1569 section 2.6. The application and final environmental
assessment similarly fail to provide sufficient information to
establish potential effects of the project on the adjacent surface
and ground-water resources, as required by NUREG-1569 section 2.7,
and the National Environmental Policy Act.

LBP-18-3, 88 NRC __, __(slip op. at 43) (July 20, 2018). This issue
will be the

[[Page 37829]]

subject matter of the evidentiary hearing and should be the focus of
any limited appearance statements.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ As the Board also indicated in its July 2018 issuance, LBP-
18-3, 88 NRC at __(slip op. at 43), the scope of the safety and
environmental concerns encompassed by this contention include the
following: (1) The adequacy of the descriptions of the affected
environment for establishing the potential effects of the proposed
MEA operation on the adjacent surface water and groundwater
resources; (2) exclusively as a safety concern, the absence in the
applicant's technical report, in accord with NUREG-1569 section 2.7,
of a description of the effective porosity, hydraulic porosity,
hydraulic conductivity, and hydraulic gradient of site hydrogeology,
along with other information relative to the control and prevention
of excursions such as transmissivity and storativity; (3) the
failure to develop, in accord with NUREG-1569 section 2.7, an
acceptable conceptual model of site hydrology that is adequately
supported by site characterization data so as to demonstrate with
scientific confidence that the area hydrogeology, including
horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivity, will result in the
confinement of extraction fluids and expected operational and
restoration performance; and (4) whether the final EA contains
unsubstantiated assumptions as to the isolation of the aquifers in
the ore-bearing zones.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Date, Time, and Location of Evidentiary Hearing

The Board will convene an evidentiary hearing conducted in accord
with the procedures set forth in 10 CFR part 2, subpart L, regarding
the environmental and safety matters specified in section A above on
the following date at the specified location and time:
Date: Tuesday, October 30, 2018.
Time: 8:30 a.m. Mountain Time (MT).
Location: Crawford Community Building, 1005 1st Street, Crawford,
Nebraska.

The hearing will continue from day-to-day until concluded. CBR, the NRC
staff, and OST will be parties to the hearing and will sponsor
witnesses and evidentiary material.
Any member of the public who plans to attend the hearing is advised
that security measures may be employed at the entrance to the room
where the hearing will take place, including searches of hand-carried
items such as briefcases or backpacks, and is reminded to arrive in
sufficient time to allow for security screening. Items that could
readily be used as weapons will not be permitted in the room where the
evidentiary hearing sessions will be held. Also, during the evidentiary
hearing session no signs will be permitted in the hearing room.

C. Date, Time, and Location of Oral Limited Appearance Statement
Session

A 10 CFR 2.315(a) oral limited appearance session regarding the MEA
ISR proceeding will be held on the following date at the specified
location and time:
Date: Sunday, October 28, 2018 (if there is sufficient interest).
Time: 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. MT.

Oral limited appearance statements will be entertained during the
hours specified in section C above, or such lesser period as may be
necessary to accommodate the speakers who are present. In this regard,

made a presentation, the Licensing Board reserves the right to

session scheduled above if there has not been a sufficient showing of
public interest as reflected by the number of preregistered speakers.
Any member of the public who plans to attend the limited appearance
session is strongly advised to arrive early to allow time to pass
through any security measures that may be employed. Attendees are also
requested not to bring any unnecessary hand-carried items, such as
packages, briefcases, backpacks, or other items that might need to be
examined individually. Items that could readily be used as weapons will
not be permitted in the room where this session will be held. During
the oral limited appearance session, signs no larger than 18 inches by
18 inches will be permitted, but may not be attached to sticks, held
over one's head, or moved about in the room.
The time allotted for each limited appearance statement normally
will be no more than five minutes, but to ensure everyone will have an
opportunity to speak, may be further limited depending on the number of
written requests to make an oral statement that are submitted in
accordance with section E below and/or the number of persons present at
the designated times.
