Dear Mr. Miraglia:
We are in receipt of the Draft Environmental Statement for the operation of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (Docket STN 50-528-529-530).
Our staff has had the opportunity to review the statement and we encourage further investigation of the following areas:
1)
The Rio Salado as a
otential water source The Rio Salado Development District located at 141 East Palm Lane, Suite 202, in Phoenix, Arizona 85004 is a potential source of cooling water.
The District, which covers 40 miles of floodplain between the Granite Reef Dam and the confluence of the Gila and Agua Fria Rivers, hopes to control water as it flows through the Salt River.
This is a potential source of cooling water which should be fully investigated.
2)
The ultimate dis osition of radioactive wastes The onsite storage and ultimate disposition of radioactive mat-erials are not adequately addressed in the report.
The State of Arizona is presently struggling with the issue of hazardous waste disposal.
Radioactive waste disposal is among the issues that are not resolved.
If the plant begins operation before an accept-able disposal site for radioactive wastes can be found, then pro-visions must be made for the long term on-site storage of radio-active wastes.
The report states that all radioactive wastes will be solid and will be ultimately shipped off-site annually to a licensed burial site.
Where is the site7 3)
Control over nei hborin ro erties The Palo Verde site is a growth generator which attracts new growth and development.
While over 1,500 acres of land have been acquired for the Power Station site most of that land is

Mr. Frank J. Miraglia January 19, 1982 Page Two south of the generating facilities.
Privately owned and controlled lands are found approximately 3,800 feet north of reactor 81.
It is recommended that the project site boundary be expanded to the north and at least one mile in all directions from the reactor.
It also is recommended that the development rights of neighboring properties be acquired to assure compatible land uses.
4)
Com rehensive On oin Ins ections Most large public utilities, including Arizona Public Service, rely extensively on contractors for the construction of their major facilities.
Recent developments such as Diablo Canyon in California and the APS natural gas leak in Arizona suggest that as much attention must be given to construction and maintenance as well as to the planning and design of the project.
A careful pre-operation inspection process coupled with a continuing program of structural and environmental monitoring is necessary to protect the public.
With sizeable government cutbacks on the
- horizon, many people are concerned about the government's ability to conduct thorough inspections of the work performed by private contractors.
I am available to discuss these comments with you.
Sincerely, DON E. McDANIEL, JR.,
DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Dudley Onderdonk Principal Planner Advance Planning Division DO/na
