The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, or the Agency) has approved the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE, or the Department) planned change request to dispose of defense transuranic (TRU) waste in replacement panels 11 and 12 in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). This decision is based on a thorough review of information submitted by DOE, independent technical analyses, and public comments. EPA found that DOE demonstrated that the use of two replacement waste panels to replace lost waste disposal volume in panels 1, 7, and 9, would provide a reasonable expectation of the WIPP remaining in compliance with the 10,000-year release limits set by the "Environmental Standards for the Management and Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level and Transuranic Radioactive Wastes" at 40 CFR part 191.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) New Mexico State Office announces its intent to prepare a PEIS for the HPCC Burn Scar Project, in Mora, Colfax, Taos, Rio Arriba, Santa Fe, Guadalupe, and San Miguel Counties, New Mexico. The PEIS will examine alternative solutions to address flooding, sedimentation, erosion, water quality impairments, and agricultural water management on private lands due to loss of land cover and the overall burn severity of the HPCC fire. The project area is approximately 500 square miles and includes 33 Hydrologic Unit Code-12 watersheds within nine Hydrologic Unit Code-10 watersheds (nine watersheds). The primary purpose for the PEIS is to provide improvement to increase the flood resilience to protect the communities that have been affected by the HPCC fire and restore the project areas' function that is essential to healthy streams and clean water; healthy forest, soil, and ecosystem; and healthy flora and fauna on private lands and in conjunction with other restoration efforts on National Forest System (NFS) lands. NRCS is requesting comments to identify significant issues, potential alternatives, information, and analyses relevant to the Proposed Action from all interested individuals, Federal and State agencies, and Tribes and Pueblos.
