September 17, 2004 Mr. Mano K. Nazar Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Indiana Michigan Power Company 500 Circle Drive Buchanan, Michigan 49107
SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 20 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (GEIS) REGARDING LICENSE RENEWAL FOR THE DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, (TAC NOS. MC1221 AND MC1222)
Dear Mr. Nazar:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the draft plant-specific Supplement 20 to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-58 and DPR-74 for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (Cook), Units 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years of operation. Enclosed is a copy of the draft report and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. This notice advises the public that the draft report is available for public inspection at the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). In addition, the Bridgman Public Library, 4460 Lake Street, Bridgman, Michigan and the Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library, 500 Market Street, St. Joseph, Michigan, have agreed to make the draft supplement available for public inspection.
As discussed in Section 9.3 of this report, the preliminary recommendation of the staff is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) the analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by Indiana Michigan Power Company; (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staffs own independent review; and (5) the staffs consideration of public comments.
M. Nazar A separate notice of filing of the draft environmental impact statement will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the NRC Environmental Project Manager, Mr. Robert Schaaf, at (301) 415-1312 or via email at RGS@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
