COMMENTS ON "APPENDIX B TO LICENSE DPR-50/528/529/530 PViVGS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PLAN Section 2.2--Terrestrial Issues Although no terrestrial issues requiring environmental monitoring programs were identified in the FES-OL, the applicant feels that it is appropriate to continue the ecological monitoring program referenced in the FES-CP.
- Further, the appli-cant intends that this program be augmented to determine what, if any, effects are caused by operation of the cooling towers.
The monitoring program will be conducted on-site and off-site out to approximately 5 miles from the cooling towers.
This 5-mile distance corresponds to the max-imum distance beyond which it is.generally accepted that total, salt deposition 1
is not expected to be significant.
It will consist of airborne salt monitoring using existing continuous low-volume samplers which are a part of the PVNGS en-vironmental radioactivity monitoring program.
Filters from these samplers will be analyzed periodically in a laboratory to determine airborne salt deposition.
Further, additional monitoring will be conducted at specific locations which include natural desert and agricultural lands within,5 miles of the PVNGS cooling towers and in areas where maximum total salt deposition values are predicted to occur.. Vegetation and soil monitoring will be conducted seasonally.
This program as described above will be instituted for pre-operational baseline monitoring to determine background airborne salt deposition and salt deposition on vegetation and soils.
This program will be continued for two years after commercial operation of PVNGS Unit 3.
Section 2.3--Cultural Resources Issues It is suggested that the responsibility for cultural resource compliance be dele-gated to the Bureau of Land Management (BLl1) instead of the NRC.
For the Palo Verde-Devers transmission line construction, the NRC and Department of Interior (DOI) had a Memorandum of Agreement which designated BLM as the lead agency for the powerline.
The B01 requirements for construction and monitoring were considered to be adequate to demonstrate compliance with State and Federal archaeological re-quirements.
E.y l
1 l
In Arizona it is virtually inpossible to establish a right-of-way for electric transmission lines without crossing lines owned by the United States Government and managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or some other agency of the U. S. Department of the Interior or U. S. Department of Agriculture..
Accordingly, before a corridor for electric transmission lines can be identified such agency is obligated to comply with the federal laws designed to protect cultural resources in the same manner as the NRC is obligated so to do.
For this reason, it is suggested with respect to the proposed Palo Verde Saguaro transmission line that if in the selection of the corridor for such line, compliance with federal laws protecting cultural resources has been established by another federal
- agency, the NRC should accept the findings and conclusions of such agency without further review.
