Efforts by Uranerz Energy is expected increase the supply of nuclear fuel to meet the increasing demand for electricity.
To prepare permit applications for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality/Land Quality Division (WDEQ/LQD), TRC will collect environmental information and data, and will prepare reports on climatology, land use, visual resources, soils, vegetation, wildlife, socioeconomic conditions, and cultural resources for the new project area.
In addition, TRC will incorporate hydrology and health physics information into the permit applications collected by other consultants. TRC also will coordinate responses to NRC and WDEQ/LQD comments and ensure that the permit applications are complete and properly managed.
TRC has previously performed similar work for Uranerz related to its Nichols Ranch ISR project in Campbell and Johnson Counties, Wyoming.
Chris Vincze, chairman and CEO of TRC, said: “TRC is pleased to support Uranerz in their environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach to energy development.
“Our environmental experts are dedicated to delivering successful results to help Uranerz achieve their goals and support nuclear energy development. This essential project extends our ongoing relationship with Uranerz and we look forward to partnering with them on future opportunities.”
