Dear Sirs:
Subject:
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS)
Units 1, 2, and 3 Docket Nos. STN 50-528, 50-529 and 50-530 Amendment No. 1 to License Renewal Application: Revised Environmental Report Figure 3-2 and Table 4-2 for the Hassayampa No. 3 Transmission Line By letter no. 102-05937, dated December 11, 2008, as supplemented by letter no.
102-05989, dated April 14, 2009, Arizona Public Service Company (APS) submitted a license renewal application (LRA) for PVNGS Units 1, 2, and 3. It has been discovered that Figure 3-2 and Table 4-2 of the LRA Appendix E Environmental Report (ER) in the December 11, 2008, submittal did not depict a section of transmission line from the Hassayampa substation to the North Gila substation. This section of transmission line was analyzed for license renewal and is described in Section 3.1.3 of the ER.
Accordingly, Amendment No. 1 to the PVNGS LRA containing the revised ER Figure 3-2 and Table 4-2 that reflect the North Gila transmission line is enclosed.
Figure 3-2 was updated to depict the North Gila transmission line and Table 4-2 was updated to note that the Hassayampa No. 3 induced current analysis includes the North Gila transmission line. As described in ER Section 3.1.3, the North Gila line has been included in the Hassayampa No. 3 analyzed distance because the North Gila transmission line from PVNGS to the North Gila substation was constructed and placed into service in 1984 (prior to issuance of the PVNGS full power operating licenses). A new substation was constructed at Hassayampa in 2001 and the North Gila line was connected to this substation. The short connection between PVNGS and Hassayampa that originally connected to North Gila became identified as Hassayampa No. 3.
