1.0 BACKGROUND

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has prepared a preliminary final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) as a part of its review of an application dated November 30, 2007, from Uranerz Energy Corporation (Uranerz) for a'new Source Materials License, under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 40. If authorized, the new license would allow Uranerz to conduct in-situ recovery (ISR) activities for uranium extraction at Nichols Ranch and Hank (a satellite unit to Nichols Ranch), located in Campbell and Johnson Counties, in the State of Wyoming. Activities involved in the proposed set up and operation of the Nichols Ranch project would include the construction of surface and subsurface infrastructures; operation of well fields to recover the uranium from injected solutions; aquifer restoration activities to restore the groundwater quality in the production zone after uranium recovery is completed within a well field; and decommissioning of surface and subsurface infrastructure and reclaiming the surface after uranium production activities at the site have been completed.

Given that the NRC expects to receive a large number of new Source Materials License applications (involving the use of the ISR process) in a relatively short period of time, the NRC prepared a "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Uranium In-Situ Leach Milling Facilities" (GElS) to support an efficient and consistent approach of reviewing site-specific license applications for ISR facilities. The NRC staff used the GElS to identify and evaluate generic environmental impacts associated with the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of the Nichols Ranch project, and as a starting point for its SEIS. Where the conclusions presented in the GElS could be adopted for the Nichols Ranch project (i.e.,

whether they are within the bounds established in the GElS), the SEIS provides justification for adopting the GElS evaluation. For conclusions presented in the GElS that could not be adopted, site-specific features and potential impacts are evaluated in the Nichols Ranch site-specific SEIS.

2.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this task order is to obtain assistance to complete the environmental review through development of a final SEIS as outlined below under Section 4.0 - Scope of Work and

Deliverables.

3.0 STAFFING The Contractor shall ensure that the technical staff performing under this task order possess the necessary experience and expertise in the technical areas assigned to them. The NRC reserves the right to approve the Task Leader and the individual technical staff member assigned to each task from the necessary technical disciplines. The Contractor's Task Leader shall have in-depth expertise in at least one of the issues covered by the SEIS and a general understanding of the range of issues covered by NRC NEPA reviews as outlined in NRC NUREG-1 748. The Contractor's Task Leader shall have extensive experience in the technical and regulatory aspects necessary for evaluating the environmental impacts of the construction, operation, and/or decommissioning of industrial facilities that require reviews under NEPA such as uranium recovery facilities, and should have expertise in methods used to mitigate the impacts on the environment. The Contractor's technical staff shall have expert experience to include greater than 5 years experience in conducting reviews in the specific technical areas assigned and shall have an appropriate combination of education, training, and experience in areas required to complete an SEIS including, but not limited to, health physics, ecology, cultural resources, hydrology, geology, risk assessment, air quality, socio-economics, and cost-benefit analysis as necessary to complete the SEIS. Additionally, the Contractor's technical staff shall have a clear understanding of the depth of review generally required by the NRC and specifically required by the type of activity proposed by the applicant for the disciplines they represent. The Contractor's technical staff shall also have experience presenting technical information and be able to provide written and oral testimony at mandatory or adjudicatory hearings on the proposed actions as needed.

The NRC considers the following personnel to be key for this effort:

1. Project Manager

2. Task Leader

3. Radiation Health Physicist

5. Hydrologist/Hydrogeologist 4.0 SCOPE OF WORK AND DELIVERABLES The Contractor shall revise NRC's DSEIS by addressing stakeholder comments. This would result in a final SEIS, which the NRC would use to support its licensing decision related to the issuance of a new Source Materials License to Uranerz, as described in Section 1.0 of this statement of work (SOW). The work conducted under this task order shall be subject to the project management requirements described in Section 5.0 below. The work required is described in detail below.

4.1 TASK 1: REVIEW INFORMATION The Contractor shall review the NRC's draft SEIS as well as the NRC's RAIs; Uranerz's RAI responses, Environmental Report (ER), and Technical Report (TR)/Safety Analysis Report (SAR); information from NRC's consultations with other federal, state, and local agencies; and any trip report(s) prepared for visits to the Nichols Ranch and Hank sites in order to gain an understanding of the project and to be prepared to respond to comments on the draft SEIS.

Task 1 shall begin immediately upon award of the contract and shall close with the

completion of Task 3.

4.2 TASK 2: REPORT - PUBLIC/STAKEHOLDER COMMENT DISPOSITION REPORT The Contractor shall provide a report of public and other stakeholder comments on the NRC's draft SEIS and responses to those comments within 20 business days after receipt of the comments from the NRC TPM. This task schedule may be extended for a large number of comments (e.g., 1 business day extension for every ten comments over forty with a maximum 30 day extension). Within 5 business days of receipt of the comments from NRC, a meeting with NRC staff will be held to discuss the necessary level of effort and scope needed to respond to comments. The report of comments and responses shall be an appendix to the final SEIS.

Task 2 shall begin immediately upon receipt of comments from the NRC TPM and shall be completed concurrent with Task 3.

4.2 TASK 3: PREPARE AND SUBMIT FINAL SEIS The scope of work under this task shall involve the revision of the draft SEIS provided by.

the NRC staff The Contractor shall review all public, other stakeholder, and NRC comments on the NRC's draft SEIS. The Contractor shall revise the text of the document to address these comments in preparing a final SEIS. The NRC TPM shall also provide any updated documentation regarding Section 7 consultations under the Endangered Species Act and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act that may have transpired since the draft SEIS was issued for public comment.

In addition to the requirements in Section 12.0, the Contractor shall submit one single-sided copy that meets the minimum publication standards provided by the NRC (NUREG-0650, Preparing NUREG-Series Publications). The Contractor shall submit the final SEIS to the NRC no later than 10 business days after receipt of OGC and DWMEP concurrence comments on the preliminary final SEIS.

Subtask 3(a): Identification of GElS Criteria The Contractor shall review the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for In-Situ Leach Uranium Milling Facilities to identify the criteria for making a resource area-specific significance determination (i.e., SMALL, MODERATE, LARGE) and apply those criteria to the resource-area specific determinations in the Nichols Ranch ISR Project draft SEIS.

The discussion of the impacts from implementing the proposed action shall be either revised or clarified as appropriate to clearly articulate whether the potential impacts at the Nichols Ranch site fall within the bounds of that evaluated within the GElS. The significance determinations shall be incorporated into the final SEIS discussions.

Subtask 3(b): Revise SEIS in Response to OGC Comments The Contractor shall revise the internal preliminary final SEIS based on comments received from the Office of the General Counsel. This work shall include drafting responses to OGC comments on the preliminary final SEIS including Appendix B, NRC's response to public comments received on the draft SEIS and providing technical support in the development of responses as requested.

5.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT Maintain Effective Communication with NRC Staff The contractor shall maintain effective communication with the NRC TPM to help coordinate and integrate final SEIS preparation with NRC's technical and decision-making activities. For the duration of this task order, the contractor shall participate in a weekly telephone call with the NRC's TPM to discuss the progress to date. The contractor's Project Manager and NRC TPM may also participate in a quarterly progress meeting either in Rockville, MD or at the contractor's place of business, as may be requested by the NRC TPM.

For All Communications The contractor shall coordinate all necessary NRC communication for the specific task through the NRC's TPM or designee (as may be temporarily established via electronic or hard-copy written communication from the NRC TPM).

NRC Comments The contractor shall resolve NRC comments through the NRC TPM when making revisions to any deliverable under each task in this task description.

Quality Assurance for the Proiect The contractor shall implement and maintain quality assurance requirements for the project in accordance with Section 14.0 below.

Place of Performance: San Antonio, TX Original Task Order Amount: $164,455 Revised Task Order Amount (as of Mod 4): $347,683 New Task Order Amount: $374,322

6.

Background:

At the time of award, it was assumed that no more than 40 comments would be received for each supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) under Task Orders 7, 8 and 9, or 120 comments for all three SEISs. CNWRA staff are working with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to respond to over 1,800 public comments on the three SEIS. Many of these comments are complex, especially several challenging comments from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The current contract language states that, if a larger number of comments or particularly complex comments are received, the NRC technical project manager (TPM) would be contacted to discusspotential changes in the scope and schedule and to obtain the necessary written approval from the NRC Contracting Officer. As a result, CNWRA submitted a proposal dated April 23, 2010 to reflect the additional effort needed to complete the SEIS for Nichols Ranch. Modification No. 2 was executed to increase the task order amount by $96,166, from $164,455 to $260,621. On July 15, 2010, NRC revise the Statement of Work to add Subtask 3-identification of GElS criterion. As a result, the level of effort and task order ceiling was increased by $41,992, from $260,621 to $302,613 on Modification No. 003. Due to the number of comments received from NRC OGC on the SEIS deliverable submitted by CNWRA, an increase in the level of effort was necessary to allow CNWRA to complete the deliverable. Specifically, the increase in level of effort is necessary to allow CNWRA to (1) draft responses to OGC's comments on the preliminary final SEIS including Appendix B, (2) draft responses to public comments received on this draft SEIS and (3) provide technical support in the development of additional responses, as required. Modification No. 4 increased the task order amount to $347,683. Additional LOE was required because of additional OGC comments, therefore this Modification 6 increases the task order ceiling to $374,322
