The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), NUREG-2243, "Environmental Impact Statement for the Disposal of Mine Waste at the United Nuclear Corporation Mill Site in McKinley County, New Mexico," for United Nuclear Corporation's (UNC) request for a license amendment to allow the disposition of about 1 million cubic yards of mine waste from the Northeast Church Rock (NECR) Mine Site at UNC's uranium mill site in McKinley County, New Mexico. The NRC is also issuing a final Programmatic Agreement (PA) under section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) that provides requirements for the NRC, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and UNC to follow to ensure that cultural resources are protected during project activities.
