DATE: February 20, 2008
SUBJECT:
License Renewal of Shearon Harris.Nuclear Power Plant, Wake County OLIA No. 08-0179 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission reviewed the project information in the December 10, 2007 Draft Supplement 33 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants and Public Meeting for the License Renewal of Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, Docket No. 50-400 (Draft Supplemental EIS) prepared by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These comments are provided under provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), the North Carolina Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.), and the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)).
Progress Energy proposes to continue operating Unit 1 at Shearon Harris under the operating regime for an additional 20 years beyond the current license expiration date of October 24, 2026.
We do not object to the project as proposed and concur that renewal of the license for an additional 20 years is the least damaging alternative to fish and wildlife resources and game lands in the vicinity of the Harris plant. However, we provide the following additional comments regarding the Draft Supplemental EIS (DSEIS).
In two places in Section 2.1.3 of the DSEIS the approach velocity of water to the debris screens is reported as "9 m/sec (0.5 ft/sec) and 9.1 m/sec (0.5,ft/sec)." These values are not equivalent.
We assume that the approach velocity is 0.5 ft/sec, which equals 0.15 m/sec. Please provide the correct velocity values.
The gross and net. (consumptive) amount of water used by Unit I is not clear. Section 2.1.3 states that "900 L/min (240 gpm) of water in the cooling loop are lost due to evaporation from Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries

SUBJECT:
License Renewal for Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant for an Additional 20 Years of Operation; Wake County.
REFERENCE:
Project No. 08-0179 The Natural Heritage Program is unable to review this project for failure to obtain a suitable map or maps of the project area. No maps are provided with the ProjectReview, and a perusal of the website listed on the Project Review Form does not provide easy access to maps or other pertinent material for our agency's review. For example, we are aware of a proposal by Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., to raise the water level of Harris Lake, which would impact several significant natural areas identified by our Program. It is not clear after some review of documents on the website whether this license renewal involves the raising of the water level of Harris Lake. Without such information made available to us, we are unable to comment on the project at the present time.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 919-715-8697 if you have questions or need further information.
