LUCIE UNIT NO.

2 OL-ER The projections of age distribution for the year 2000 (Sections 2.1.2.1.6 and 2.1.2.2.8) are based on 1970 U. S. data.

However, it is the case that:

- The data were about eight years old when used

'E

- The U. S. population is "aging" as the postwar babies mature.

,- Florida has an o'ader popu1ation than'he U. S.

- Florida's population grew by 28 percent between 1970 and 1977 (2.1.2.2.5)

- 90 percent of Florida's growth is attributable to net mi gration (2.1.2.2.5)

- more relevant bases of age distribution exist such as U. S.

Bureau of Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-25, No. 796, "Illustrative Projections of State Populations by Age,

Race, and Sex:

1975 to 2000,"

U. S.

Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 1979.

Present revised Tables 2.1-2 and 2.1-4 using a more appropriate age distribution base.

310,2,']

In Table 2.1-3 footnote "+" refers to a place having a 1970 population of 5,772.

However, there is no place listed with the "+" nor with the 1970 population of 5,772.

What town does the "+" refer to7 II 3]0.3' Include the estimates of beach usage, in Table 2.1-6, Transient Population:

Attendance at Attractions and Events, while acknowledging "the lack of comprehensive data" concerning beaches.

(2.1.2.P)

v 2 ar 310.4 g The Tourists and Seasonal Visitors Section (2.1.2.3.1) contains no time element to indicate whether the estimates are for yearly, daily, etc.

attendance rates.

One may surmise that the data are daily based on Table 2.1-5.

That information should be presented in the analysis as well as the table.

310.5,>

Peak daily class attendance estimates at colleges (2.1.2.3.4 and 6.1.4.2.3) 1 appear to be about 13 percent of enrollment based on Table 2.1-7.

Even if one assumes an equal distribution of daily attendance, the peak days would be 16 and 20 percent of enrollment assuming 6 day and 5 day school weeks respectively.

How was peak class attendance calculated'he Hutchinson Island Residential Units Section (2.1.3.5.1) reports coristruction of a 203 unit apartment and 32 unit townhouse complex called Sand Gollar Villas to be completed in 1980.

Sand Dollar Villas is 1.4 miles from the pl ant si te.

The 1983 resident population forecasts (Figure 2.1-6, sheet 3 of 8) indicate 36 residents between 1 and 2 miles from the site in sectors SE and SSE.

The 1983 peak daily and seasonal transient population (Figure 2.1-10, sheet 3 of 8) for the same sectors is 0.

Reconcile the inconsistencies between the reported construction and the population forecasts for both resident and transient population w'Ithin two miles of the plant.

The ER-CP for St. Lucie Unit No.

2 states that "studies conducted to 1) date indicate that the land available for development on Hutchinson Island will be almost totally utilized by the end of this decade (by 1980)..." p. 2.2-4 Rev. 6-5/9/75.

Future residential development on Hutchinson Island "which falls within the five mile radius is expected to experience considerable development" (ER-OL 2.1.3.6 part b).

The same section discusses the limited fresh water supply being a constraint; to growth on the island.

Are there plans to expand the supply of potable water to the island7 If so, when and how would residential development'f'his island be affected?

1.

310.8, ',

The FES-'CP presents an estimated 1980 population for 0-5 miles of 1620 and from 5-10 miles of 61,000 (Figure 2.6).

The ER-OL has estimates for 1980 of 12,291 and 70,594 for the 0-5 and 5-10 mile rings respectively.

(Figure 2;1-6)

While the 5-10 mile population estimates are only 15 percent off between the FES-CP and the ER-OL, the 0-5 mile estimates are over 650 percent different.

Are there any additional developments (besides Sand Dollar Villas and Oceana) under construction or being planned on Hutchinson Island7 If so, give location, number of units, estimated date of completion, and revise resident and transient population estimates within five miles of'the plant to be consistent with the available information.

b.

Revise Table 2.1-12, Land Uses and Land Cover within Five Niles of St. Lucie Unit 2, to reflect these new developments.

310 9

>i Tables 2.1-8 and 2.1-9 haVe references to the methodology in Sections 2.1 3 8 2 and 2.1.3.8 respectively.

The tables contain data on transient populations using highways, air and rail.

The sections referenced describe water use.

Provide the correct, references.

310. 10 Explain why the 8 percent growth rate was 'used in projecting transient visitors for the years 1978 to 1985 and the 2.1 percent rate for 1985 to 2030; especial.ly since the 8, per cent figure is based on 1977-1978 data and the 2.1 percent rate is based on 1970-1978 data.

'gp for the operation of't. Lucie Unit No. 2.

State whether the workers

- are employees of FPL or'ontractors.

Also provide an estimate of the average annual operating workers'ayroll for the unit.

310. 12',I Local purchases of goods and services for a nuclear power plant operation may frequently have a signifi,cant impact on the local economy.

(For these purposes local may be defined as either the host county or the host county and one or morecontiguous counties.)

Please provide information on local purchases of goods and services expected to be made by the plant during a typical year of operation.

To the extent possible, identify specifi c types and dollar amounts of these purchases.

If it, appears that there will be no si gnificant local purchases, explain why.

What percent of thedurisdiotions'otal tax revenues are represented by the taxes attributable to the St. Lucie No.

2 plant?

The first paragraph in Section 2.1.2.1.5 confuses growth rates or compound interest and simple interest.

It mentions of an "increase of 123.6 percent over the 52 year period, an average annual rate of growth of 2.4 percent".

Actually, the annual growth rate of a 123.6 percent increase over 52 years is 1.56 percent.

Correct this and other population growth rates which were calculated by simple rather than compound interest.
