[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 5 (Wednesday, January 8, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 1099] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-392] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Notice of Wetlands Involvement for Environmental Remediation at Argonne National Laboratory-East AGENCY: Chicago Operations Office, DOE. ACTION: Notice of Wetlands Involvement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: DOE proposes to conduct a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective-action program and other environmental remediation activities at contaminated sites at Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-E). Two of the contaminated sites include small wetlands. In accordance with DOE regulations for compliance with floodplain and wetlands environmental review requirements (10 CFR 1022), DOE will prepare a wetlands assessment for this proposed action. The wetlands assessment will be included in the environmental assessment being prepared for the proposed project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. DATES: Comments are due to the address below no later than January 22, 1997. ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Dr. W. S. White, NEPA Compliance Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, Chicago Operations Office, 9800 S. Cass Avenue, Argonne, IL 60439. (630) 252-2101. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Further information on this proposed action and wetlands assessment can be obtained from Donna Green, Document Manager, U.S. Department of Energy, Argonne Group, 9800 S. Cass Avenue, Argonne, IL 60439. (630) 252-2264. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed action would involve two small palustrine emergent wetlands. One of the wetlands is 0.004 hectares (0.0016 acres); the other is 0.036 hectares (0.015 acres). Contaminant hazards at these wetlands would be reduced by excavation, containment, or phytoremediation. Issued in Chicago, IL on December 18, 1996. Dr. W. S.
