Millstone License Renewal - Environmental Scoping To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is submitted in response to the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) proposed to be prepared as part of an evaluation of the license renewal application submitted for the Millstone Nuclear Power Plant. It is my understanding that public comments regarding the scope of the EIS will be accepted through June 4. As such, I submit the following comments for consideration.

  • The EIS should present a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of Millstone's water intake (used for cooling purposes) from Niantic Bay on both nektonic and planktonic species. As well as a consideration of economically important species (ie. winter flounder), the EIS should assess the mortality of species that support ecosystem functions (i.e. trophic dynamics). Such species may be significant to the life cycle of other economically important species.
  • An evaluation of abiotic and biotic interactions may be appropriate if the water intake results in modification of the hydrodynamics of Niantic Bay.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please notify me when the draft EIS is made available.

Sincerely, Kelly L. Streich
