BACKGROUND The Department of Energy (DOE) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Procedures (10 CFR1021) require careful consideration of the potential environmental consequences of all proposed actions during the early planning stages of a project or activity. DOE policy directs at the earliest possible stage in a project whether such actions will require preparation of an Environmental Assessment, an Environmental hrpact Statement, or a Categorical Exclusion. To comply with these requirements, an Environmental Questionnaire (NETL Form F 451.1,1/3) must be completed for each proposed action to provide DOE with the information necessary to determine the appropriate level of NEPA review and documentation. - -- If the proposed project qualifies for Categorical Exclusion designation, a Categorical Exclusion Designation Form NETL Form F451.1-1/1 (Click Twice to Link) will also be completed in addition to the Environmental Questionnaire. U. INSTRUCTIONS Separate copies of the Environmental Questionnaire and Categorical Exclusion Designation Finn (if required) should be completed by the principal proposer and principal subcontractor(s). In addition, if the proposed project includes activitiesat different locations, an independent questionnaire should be prepared for each location. Supportinginformation can be provided as attachments. In completing this Questionnaire, the proposer is requested to provide specific information and quantities, when applicable, regarding air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid wastes, etc., to facilitate thenecessary review. The proposer should identify the location of the project and specifically describe the activities that would occur at that location. In addition the proposer will be required to submit an official copy of the project's statement of wcrk (SOW) or statement of project objective (SOPO) that will be used in the contract/agreement between the proposer and DOE.

REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY DOE I hereby certify that I have reviewed the information provided in this questionnaire, have determined that all questions have been appropriately answered, and judge the responses to be consistent with the efforts proposed. Based on the information in the questionnaire, I conclude the following (check the appropriate box): ❑ The proposed action falls under one or more of the categorical exclusions (CXes) listed in AppendixA or B of Subpart D of the DOE NEPA Implementine Procedures and would not (1) violate applicable ES&H requirements, (2) require siting of waste transportation, storage and disposal or recovery facilities, (3) disturb hazardous substances (excluding naturally occurring petroleum and natural gas), thus producing uncontrolled or unpermitted releases, and (4)adversely affect environmentally sensitive resources. Additionally, the proposed action (1) would not present any extraordinary circumstances such that the action might have a significant impact upon the human environment, (2)is not connected to other actions with potentially significant impacts, and (3) is not related to other actions with cumulatively significant impacts. Based on the Environmental Questionnaire and these conclusions, Categorical Exclusion of the proposed action would be appropriate. ❑ The proposed action does not qualify as a CX as identified in Subpart D of DOE's NEPA Implementing Procedures; therefore, the proposed action may require further documentation in the form of an Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement.
