1~1 SITE AND ENVIRONMENT The site is on the shore of Biscayne Bay, about 25 miles s 1th of Miami, orida. The area immediately surrounding the site is lo and swampy and is ver sparsely populated, with much of it unsuited for d elopment without raisin the elevation with fill. The nearest farming rea lies in the northwest quarter of a Smile arc from the site.

The area surro ding the site is flat and slopes v ry gently to the west from sea level at the horeline of Biscayne Bay to an elevation of about 10 ft above MSL at a poin some 8 to 10 miles inland. To the east across Biscayne Bay from 5 to 8 miles, is a series of offshore islands running in a northeast-southwest direction bet. en the Bay and the lantic Ocean, the largest of which is Elliott Key.

The site is well ventilated wi air move ent prevailing almost 100 percent of the time. The atmosphere in the rea is generally unstable with diurnal inversions of short duration.

The Miami area has experienced winds f urricane force periodically. During storms the plant may be subjected t flood tides of varying heights. The two nuclear-electric generating units this si are constructed on compacted limerock fill to an elevation of 8 feet abov MLW, and protected against wave runup to an elevation of +2 feet above MLW n the east side (+22.5 MLW at the Intake Structure). The emaining areas are rotected to 20 feet above HLW which is well above any erienced or predictab e flood tides. Hurrican~C "Betsy" in 1965 produced the maximum flooding recorded which was about 10 feet above MSL.

The normal direction of tural drainage of surface and gro d water in t e area of the site is to he east and south toward Biscayne Bay nd will not affect off-site walls A radiological background study of the rkey Point Q

area will be initiated approximately one year prior to initial startup of the Unit 3. This will involve the collection of samples of air; soil, water, marine life', biota and vegetation in" the area. The bed rock beneath the limerock fillis competent with respect to foundation conditions for the nuclear units. The area is in a seismologically quiet region all of Florida being classified Zone 0 (the zone of least probability of damage) by the Uniform Building Code, as 'published by International Conference of Building Officials.
