Dear Mr. Thomas:

Re:

PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY Application No. 425 The California Pollution Control Financing Authority is required by Health and Safety Code Section 44533(b) to obtain certificates from various pollution control agencies before it sells Bonds to assist companies with financing their projects.

Section 44533(b) reads:

"No project relating to the improvement of air or water quality or solid waste control shall be eligible for financing under this division unless, prior to the issuance of bonds or notes, a local, regional, state, or federal environmental authority exercising jurisdiction over the project certifies that the project, as designed, will further compliance with federal, state or local pollution control standards and requirements...

We sent an application to you on December 21, 1984 for Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Diablo Canyon.

The Authority has received the enclosed supplemental application for financing.

We are asking your agency to review the description of the original project plus the additional projects proposed, and to provide us with any comments or reservations you may have.

Section 44533(c) reads:

"No certification issued pursuant to sub division (b) shall be admissible in evidence, constitute an admission, or bind any certifying authority in any proceeding in which the compliance of a participating party's facilities with any applicable pollution control, land use, zoning or other similar law is an issue or in any application or proceeding for a permit to locate or construct facilities."

We will require certification for the entire project before the Authority can proceed with the financing.

Thank you for your attention to these matters.

1984 Mr. Douglas Chandler Executive Secretary California Pollution Control Financing Authority 915 Capitol Mall, Room 110 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re:

Amendment No. 2 to the Application of Pacific Gas and Electric Company for Financing of Air and Water Pollution Control, Solid Waste Disposal and Sewage Disposal Systems at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plants Units No.

I and 2.

Dear Mr. Chandler:

Enclosed for filing are four copies of the above referenced Amendment No 2.

On November 1, 1983 PGandE filed an application with the California Pollution Control Financing Authority requesting a preliminary inducement for certain pollution control, solid waste disposal and sewage disposal facilities at the Company's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units No. 1 and 2. As amended on December 2, 1983, this application asked for a $107 million preliminary inducement.

Since this application, as amended, additional qualifying pollution control and solid waste disposal facilities have been identified. Parts 2, 3, and 4 of the application are being amended to reflect these additional facilities.

Part 2 of the original application, as amended, is being further amended to provide the Authority with the Company's year-end 1983 financial statements. Part 3 of the original application as amended, is being further amended to provide a description of a Chemical Waste Holding Pond, the Fuel Handling Building and planned modifications to the Solid Radwaste Storage Building. Part 4 of the application, as amended, is superceded in its entirety by a revised Part 4 to reflect an increase in the requested maximum size of the financing to $204,455,000. This increase reflects costs of these additional facilities, and increased costs for certain facilities described in the original application, as amended.

Mr. Douglas Chandr 2 -

August 30, 1984 We respectfully request that this Amendment No. 2.be acted upon by the Authority at its September 19, 1984 meeting. If any questions arise or any additional information is needed, please contact Mr. Jack F. Jenkins-Stark at (415) 972-2619, or Mr. Mark A.

Mendel at (415) 972-1428.

Sincerely, G rdon R. Smith Vice President Finance and Treasurer MAM:mol

Amendment No. 2 to Application of Pacific Gas and Electric Company for Financing of Air and Water Pollution Control, Solid Waste Disposal and Sewage Disposal Systems at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Units No.

I and 2 Dated: August 30, 1984

PART 2.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION 2.1 Financial statements from the three most recent fiscal years, including the following:

2.1.1 Balance Sheet See Attachment 1.

2.1.2 Income (Profit and Loss) Statement See Attachment 2.

2.1.3 Analysis of sources and application of funds.

See Attachment 3.

PART 3. POJET INFORMATION 3.2 (3.2.1 -

3.2.4)

Chemical Waste Holdina Pond The basic function of the Chemical Waste Holding Pond is to support operating plant maintenance activities by providing capacity for liquids from acid cleaning or other maintenance activities. The facility will include a 300,000 gallon capacity primary pond with a 5,000 cubic foot sludge pit, and a 600,000 gallon capacity secondary pond, separated by a manually operated gate. The pond will hold the wastes so they can be analyzed and treated prior to being discharged or trucked off-site.

(See Attachments 4.1 -

4.3)

Each fuel handling building houses facilities to offload and store incoming fuel, handle irradiated fuel assemblies removed from the reactor, temporarily store irradiated fuel assemblies

that are not yet spent but are waiting to be returned to the reactor, store irradiated spent fuel assemblies prior to shipment to a final storage/disposal facility, and load irradiated spent fuel assemblies into casks for shipment.

Inside the fuel handling building are two spent fuel pools, one for each unit. These are designed and will function, 'in part, to dispose of irradiated spent fuel assemblies by storing them submerged in a pool of circulating water. Each pool currently contains racks capable of storing 270 irradiated fuel assemblies. These racks will be replaced by new stainless steel high-density racks with neutron-absorbing material capable of storing 1,220 irradiated fuel assemblies.

The fuel handling building also is equipped to remove radioactive particles in the air prior to its release or recirculation.

(See Attachment 5)

Modification of the Solid Radwaste Storage Building The existing Solid Radwaste Storage Building provides space for storage of (1) radioactive spent ion exchange resins solidified in concrete, inside of steel containers, and (2) radioactive trash (dry active waste) compacted into steel boxes or steel drums. The Solid Radwaste Storage Building will be modified to provide additional storage capacity by (1) adding a sheet metal building on top to be used for storage of dry active waste, and (2) revising the existing lower portion of the building by removing some of the interior concrete walls, filling some of the existing doorways with concrete and providing equipment (travelling bridge crane, shielded rail car and a forklift) to facilitate moving the waste into and

out of storage. The lower portion will be used for storing radioactive spent ion exchange resins solidified in concrete, inside of steel containers.

(See Attachments 6.1 -

6.2) 3.2.5 An engineering certification based on a review by a qualified engineer will be provided prior to the adoption of a final resolution by the CPCFA.

3.3 Estimated Construction Period 3.3.1 Starting Date Chemical Waste Holding Pond:
