- GLear,
Dear Nr. tleyer:
lie have received. your letter of October 23, 1979, regarding the five endangered species which occur in the vicinity of the'iablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCNPP).
In response, telephone contacts were made with fir. Gail Kobetich and Nr. Ralph Swanson of your Sacramento office to set up a consultation meeting on this issue.
In accordance with Nr. Swanson's
- request, we are enclosing copies of the Final Environmental Statement (FES, f/ay 1973) and the Addendum to the FES (Hay 1976) in which one of the endangered
- species, the sea otter, is discassed in some detail.
A meeting is tentatively planned in Sacramento on December 12, 1979, to allow time for the concerned parties to peruse the sections of the FES pertaining to biota.
!le should like to point out three apparent misapprehensions in your letter.
Pacific 0'cean water will not be heated to produce steam and returned at such temperatures to the ocean.
It will be heated about 19'F as discussed in the enclosed Final Environmental State (FES) for DCNPP.
Secondly, this moderate temperature rise is very unlikely to lead to eutrophication.
Thirdly, the condenser material has been changed to titanium, which is not a heavy metal which could result in damage to biota.
By forwarding copies of this letter and enclosures, we are inviting to the consultation meeting representatives of the California Department'f Fish and Game and of the National Marine Fisheries Service.
A representa-tive of your regional office would, of course, be welcome.
l<e shall be in telephone contact with all of the interested parties in early. December to fix a definite time and place of meeting.
