Notice of Availability of the Final Plant-Specific Supplement 43 to The UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555·0001 January 6, 2011 Mr. Randall K. Edington Executive Vice President, Nuclear Mail Station 7602 Arizona Public Service Company P.O. Box 52034 Phoenix, AZ 85072 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 43 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION Dear Mr. Edington: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the final plant-specific Supplement 43 to NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants," regarding the renewal of Operating Licenses NPF-41, NPF-51 and NPF-74 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS). Enclosed are five copies of the final supplement and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. This notice advises the public that the final supplement is publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/html. The accession number for the final Supplement 43 to the GElS is ML 103560149. In addition, th.e Litchfield Park Branch Library, located at 101 West Wigwam Boulevard, Litchfield Park, AZ 85340 has agreed to maintain a copy of the final supplement. As discussed in Section 9.4 of the final supplement, the NRC's recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for PVNGS are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision makers. This recommendation is based on (1) the analysis and findings in the GElS; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by Arizona Public Service Company (APS); (3) consultation with Federal, State and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's own independent review; and (5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments received during the scoping process and on the draft supplement. R. Edington - 2 ­ A separate notice of filing of the final supplemental environmental impact statement will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the NRC Environmental Project Manager, David Drucker at 301-415-6223, or bye-mail at [email protected]. Sincerely, Trent L.

Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy sources. As discussed in Section 9.4 of the final supplement, the staff determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for PVNGS are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) the analysis and findings in the GElS; (2) information provided in the environmental report (ER) submitted by Arizona Public Service Company; (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) a review of pertinent documents and reports; and (5) consideration of public comments received during scoping and on the draft SEIS.· - 2 ­ The final Supplement 43 to the GElS is publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

  • Geologic Map of the Wickenburg, Southern Buckhorn, and Northwestern Hieroglyphic Mountains, Central Arizona
    Geologic Map of the Wickenburg, southern Buckhorn, and northwestern Hieroglyphic Mountains, central Arizona _ by James A. Stimac, Joan E. Fryxell. Stephen J. Reynolds, Stephen M. Richard, Michael J. GrubenskY, and Elizabeth A. Scott Arizona Geological Survey Open-File Report 87-9 October, 1987 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 This report is preliminalY and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION This report describes the geology of the Red Picacho quadrangle and parts of the Wickenburg, Garfias Mountain, and Wittmann quadrangles (Fig. 1). Geologic mapping was completed between January and April of 1987, and was jointly funded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology as part of the cost-sharing COGEOMAP program. Mapping was done on 1:24,000-scale topographic maps and on 1:24,000-scale color aerial photographs provided by Raymond A. Brady of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. GEOLOGIC OVERVIEW The map area includes the Wickenburg Mountains and contiguous parts of the Buckhorn and Hieroglyphic Mountains (Fig. 1). Adjacent parts of the Vulture Mountains were mapped by Grubensky and oth_ers (1987) and adjacent parts of the Hieroglyphic Mountains were mapped by Capps and others (1986). The overall geologic history of the area is complex, but the regional stratigraphy developed in these reports carries well from range to range. The map area is composed of a metamorphic-plutonic basement unconformably overlain by Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The oldest rocks, assigned to the Proterozoic (1.8-1.7 b.y.) Yavapai Supergroup, consist of amphibolite, schist, and gneiss, intruded by granite, leucogranite, and pegmatite.
