Dear Mr. Clark:

Reference is made to your letter of 26 September 1972 regarding Docket No. 50-410, the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report and subsequent Amend-ments 1 through ll thereto, for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation's Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 2.

In accordance with our arrangement, an engineer from the CERC staff has reviewed pertinent information in the (PSAR) report leading to the esta-blishment of the maximum and minimum design water levels at the plant site.

It is his opinion with which I concur, that for design purposes the Probable Maximum still water level, exclusive of wave runup and over-topping action, should be elevation 254.0 feet (U.S.

Lake Survey Datum, 1935) at the shoreline and a Probable Minimum low water level should be elevation 236.3 feet (U.S.

Lake Survey Datum, 1935).

These are the same design water levels required at the nearby James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant.

Analysis of the factors involved for the preliminary design of plant grade and flood protection facilities determined that overland flooding can occur as the result of wave runup and overtopping of the dike fronting the plant site during the Probable Maximum event.

The rate of wave over-topping of the dike exceeds the capacity of the drainage ditch to prevent overland flooding.

I concur with the AEC staff position that the appli-cant should be required to modify the design to provide for adequate facilities for preventing this condition from adversely affecting safety related structures.

The following Safety Evaluation Summary should. be considered as our final report under Work Dizective L-1N.

HYDROLOGIC ENGINEERING SAFETY EVALUATION

SUMMARY

for NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR POWER STATION - UNIT 2 DOCKET NOe 50"010 1.

The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station - Unit 2, is located on the western portion of the Nine Mile Point peninsula on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario in New York, and is approximately seven miles northeast of the City of Oswego, New York, and 36 miles northwest of Syracuse, New York.

2.

The lake levels of Lake Ontario are controlled. by dams operated on the St.

Lawrence River under regulation plans of the International Joint Commission (IJC) ~

The lake levels under the regulation plan are to be controlled. between elevations 243 and 2L)8 feet LSD (Lake Survey Datum 1935),

and the annual average lake level has been 245.2 feet LSD under the regulation plan.

3.

The unit will be protected. by a dike extending east=west along the present shore line.

The dike with one on two slopes and a top elevation of 263 feet LSD will be extended. along the lake front from the existing dike in front of Unit 1 on the west to a point where the ground. rises natuzally to elevation 263 feet LSD on the east.

Ditches are to be provided. behind. the 3000-foot length of dike, which includes 900 feet in front of Unit 1, for intercepting site runoff and dike overtopping flow, and conveying it to the lake.

The Plant buildings are located.

about 300 feet back of the dike structure with a surrounding ground. grade elevation of 260 feet LSD.

4, Me will consider the design basis for the Plant's flood. protection and. water supply adequate if the applicant will design for or adequately demonstrate that no adverse effects of the safety-related. facilities willresult from the hydrologic engineering criteria for the following conditionst a.

The applicant has stated. that he will document that one-hour rainfall amounts up to and including 8.4 inches used. for basis of drainage design for roofs of the safety-related.

structures and. the site drainage system will not adversely affect safety-reland. facilities or structures.

Me conclude this design basis is adequate.

b.

The applicant should. provide assurance that coincident wave action and. wave overtopping rates on the lake-front dike with surging up to and including the probable maximum surge elevation 254.0 feet LSD, will not flood. or adversely affect the Plant's safety-related. facilities.

He should. demonstrate the integrity of the protective shore line dike or show that the dike is not, required. for pro-tection of the Plant by showing the resultant effects of their failure.

The probable maximum surge elevation of 2+.0 feet"LSD (based on available information) should. be used with 'appropriate overtopping rates as the flood. design basis, for flooding on the plant side of,,the,,dike and which would require a stable 13-ton armor stone to provide assurance of the protective dike's integrity.

There is no flooding potential for the probable maximum surge and associated wave action if the applicant can verify the protective dike's integrity and. that the drainage ditch behind. the dike can carry off the wave overtopping and/or that sufficient storage is available during the probable maximum event, without the water surface exceeding plant gzade of 261 feet LSD or that the minimum elevation of all openings and. safety<<related facilities is not exceeded or can be made water tight.

The ice ridges building up along the lake shore are not expected. to result in any flooding of the safety-related.

structures.

6.

Cooling water is to be taken from an intake structure about 1300 feet from the shore line and. conveyed, to the screenwell structure through 1650 feet of tunnel with a cross-sectional azea of 238 squaze feet to keep the tunnel velocity to about 5 feet per second..

In addition, there will be two intake tunnels for Unit 1 that aze interconnected to Unit 2 by means of a crossover between the individual screenwell structures.

The top and bottom of the invert of the lake's circulating water intake drop inlet are to be at elevation 232.0 and. 222.$ feet LSD respectively.

Discharge from the cooling system will be via a 1700-foot long discharge tunnel to be shared. with Unit 1 with a terminal tee diffuser tunnel having 12 pairs of heads, each head. having two diffusers.

The 12 outlets are split by a tee, 6 on each tee branch, with a distance of 45 feet between each of

I I

the heads.

The total length at the top of the tees is 555 feet.

The operating floor of the screenwell structure is to be at elevation 261.0 feet LSD and. each pump will be mounted. on a pedestal above the floor.

Me conclude that there is no potential flooding of the screenwell and associated.

safety-related facilities through the proposed, intake and. discharge tunnels.

Xt is also concluded that there is no potential loss of cooling from the zemote possibility of flooding through the intake tunnel for the proposed. design.

7, Heating elements will be installed in each of the zack bars at the intake to prevent ice forming on the intake bar,racks.

These separate heating elements on each bar rack aze to be sufficient to'eep the temperature of the bazs at, least 30 deg. F. during periods of subcooling.

Me conclude that design basis of the cooling water (and. a primary portion of the Ultimate Heat Sink) is adequate.

8.

The applicant has estimated. that lake levels could. gradually decline to elevation 240.6 feet LSD in the event of failure of the St. Lawrence River dams befoze natural controls would prevent further decline.

By superimposing the negative effects of lowering the lake by an additional 4.3 feet due to a postulated.

pzobable maximum wind. field blowing the water away from the site, the applicant has estimated. that the minimum design lake level should. be 236.3 feet LSD.

Comparison of this lake level with the top and. bottom elevations of the proposed.

lake intake structure openings (elevations 230.0 and 222.5 feet LSD, respectively) indicates that an adequate water supply should. be available from the lake at the intake.

The applicant's proposed. design for the pit floor of the screenhouse is elevation 221.0 feet LSD, which is 15.3 feet below the postulated.

minimum lake level of 236.3 feet LSD.

The circulating water pump is to be designed to operate with a minimum water level of 232 feet LSD.

Me conclude the loss of cooling water is unlikely.

The ultimate heat sink water supply will consist of Lake Ontario, the lake water intake structure and. intake

tunnel, ancl we conclude the system is capable of providing sufficient cooling water for 30 Says anC beyond..

9.

The heated. water and. processed.

liquid. radwaste will be disposed. of via the 12 multi-outlet submerged. diffuser headers at the end. of the discharge tunnel.

The submerged. discharge jets, with a high initial velocity and oriented in a lakeward. horizontal direction, will be deflected. toward. the water surface due to the buoyancy of the jet and, will flow lakewazd. horizontally from the point of intersection, with the water surface.

The dominant current pattern in the lake is counterclockwise, i. e.,

fzom west to east at the site.

The total flow of cooling water effluent from Units 1 and 2 is about 1800 cubic feet pez second. (cfs) and.

is expected. to be dispersed, and. diluted. with the water carried. past the site by the lake currents.

10.

The ground water table at the site slopes toward. Lake Ontario at an average gradient of 2 feet per 100 feet.

The applicant has reported.

16 public water supplies within 30 miles of the site, two of which obtain water from the lake; the others obtain water from wells and springs.

The two neazest public water supplies are located about seven miles from the site and. both use water from the

~ ~

~l t

~

lake, The shallow domestic wells in the general vicinity are located. up gradient (ground. water slopes upstream) from the plant site, mine relatively minor amounts of water, and. therefore, no ground water contamination affecting these wells is likely.

a peaL bundle power of 5.22 Hv and axial, radial and local'eaking factors of 1.57, 1.5, 1.3 respectively.

I don't knotv the specifics for an 8x8 reload of HNP, but presume the radial peaking would remain the same (i.e., 1.5).

The axial and local peaks ave unknown, except GE indicates that the maximum LHGR vill be 12.75 kw/ft.

The rod-to-rod peaking within a bundle will probably not be too different-since the water gaps are still unequa].

~H'r~olo y 2.4.1 H drolo ic Descri tion The site is located.

on the western portion of Nine Mile Point on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario and is approximately 300 feet east of Unit No. 1 and about 2500 feet west of the James A. FitsPatrick Nuclear Power Plant.

Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes having a surface area of 7,520 square miles and a drainage basin of 30,800 square miles, The average annual Lake Ontario level is elevation 205.2 feet LSD (Lake Survey Datum of 1935) and. the specified control is between elevations 203 and. 248 feet LSD by dams operated.

on the St.

Lawrence River under a regulation plan of the International Joint Commission (IJC) for Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.

The Unit will be protected. by a dike extending east-west along the present shore line.

The dike with one on two slopes and a top elevation of 263 feet LSD will be extended along the lake front from the existing dike in front of Unit 1 on the west to a point where the ground rises naturally to elevation 263 feet LSD on the east.

Ditches are to be provided. behind. the 3000-foot length of dike, which includes 900-foot area in front of Unit 1, for intercepting site zunoff and. dike over-topping flow, and, conveying it to the lake.

The plant buildings are located. about 300 feet back of the dike structure with a suzrounding ground. grade elevation of 260 feet LSD.

V i"

2.4. 2 Floods There are no perennial streams on or adjacent to the site.

Precipi-tation falling on the site is discharged into Lake Ontario by surface runoff and ground water flow.

Variations in Lake Ontario levels are caused.

by both runoff and. wind-generated waves and surges.

Superimposed on the long-range and seasonal fluctuations resulting from the change in quantity of water in the lake, there are daily and even hourly fluctuations resulting from surges and. tilting of the lake's water surface induced. by winds and differential barometric pressure.

These short period fluctuations reach a maximum, especially at the easterly end of the lake, where the water surface may rise 3 feet or greater, due to the effects of the winds.

The level at a specific shore location on the lake is not considered to fluctuate as greatly from runoff and rain on the lake as it is from wind'generated waves and surges.

The monthly mean lake high water level elevation of 24/.3 feet LSD occurred in June 1952 when Lake Ontario was (pre-project) unregulated.

This high lake level resulted primarily from snowmelt and rainfall runoff through the Great Lakes system.

However, under present IJC regulation plan there would be no difficultyin retaining this 1952Zflow condition to a con'trolled, level elevation of 248 feet or below.

However, this year, 1973, the lake level is expected. with IJC,regulation to reach about 249 feet LSD.

Under pre>>project conditions (without regulation) the elevation would. be about 250 feet.

The highest flooding at specific shore locations occurring from severe storms with associated high winds which produce surges at the down-wind components are not uncommon to most of the Great Lakes.

One of the most severe lake storms of record occurred November 7-10, 1913 with winds above 80 mph over Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

'I I

k

'I

High winds and heavy snow covered. the entire lake region and winds over Lake Ontario and. Lake Erie were above 60 mph for about 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />, resulting in high surges at various locations.

2.4.g Probable Maximum Floods There aze no streams in the vicinity that could cause site flooding.

Yaziations in Lake Ontario levels are caused.

by both runoff and. wind.-

generated.

waves and surges.

Although PMF runoff was considered, the level of the large lake is not considezed to fluctuate as greatly due to runoff as it is to wind-generated, waves and surges.

Therefore, probable maximum floods are not site applicable, except for the local and interior drainage system to effectively protect the safety-related.

facilities.

The safetymelated facilities would. include the roofs of safety-related structures and. exterior penetrations, which must safely store or pass runoff resulting from the local probable maximum precipi-tation without a loss of functions of the safety-related facilities.

The applicant states the facilities and drainage system are designed to handle the water quantity of 6 inches per hour, which he estimated to be the maximum houz during the probable maximum precipitation.

The applicant has previously been informed that the staff's independent analysis resulted in a maximum hour rainfall of 8.4 inches during a PMP estimate.

The applicant will be required to assure that the maximum one-hour rainfall of 8.4 inches would. not adversely affect any safety-related facilities and will be required to document this in a future amendment.

2.4.4 Potential Dam Failure There are no dams so located or dam failures that could. result in any flooding of the site.

The only effects of dam failures could be the

~

~

~

~

F

St. Lawrence power project dams located. in the St. Lawrence River, and.

their failure could. only result in lowering the lake level.

The applicant has estimated. in the event of such an unreasonable catastrophe as simultaneous failure of the dams, the lake level would. declin'e I

1I gradually and might fall to minimum elevation of 240.6 feet 'LSD.

2.4.5 Probable Maximum Sur e Floodin The applicant estimated maximum lake level at the site which could. occur due to wind.-generated, surges and, waves,.'utilizing the January 1972 surge for calibration of his one-and two-dimensional models.

His estimates of the probable maximum surge by the three different computations and.

extrapolations resulted. in surges (stillwater levels) ranging from eleva<<

tions of 254.0 feet LSD for the one-dimensional model and 252.7 feet LSD, and. his most recent estimate of 251.0 feet LSD, both from the two&imensional model.

The 251-foot elevation was estimated. using the January 1972 winds with the maximum of 52 mph wind. velocity at Kingston, Canada on the northeast shore of the lake, and then ratioed this maximum wind. of 52 mph to the probable maximum 100 mph wind. to represent the maximum possible conditions at the site.

Apparently this was without consideration for the wind. conditions that could. be from a more critical direction, and. velocities which would be more favora'ble in producing a larger surge at the site.

The staff and our consultants'ndependent analyses resulted in the probable maximum surge (stillwater level) at the site to be elevation 254.0 feet LSD.

This is the same probable maximum surge level required at the nearby James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant.

The applicant was informed. that maximum surge (stillwater level) elevation 250.0 feet LSD should be used. as the basis of design.

5 oo the applicant has evaluated. the safety-related.

structures by superim-posing the wind-generating wave action on the stillwater elevation of e

II 2+.0 feet LSD.

I i

The applicant presented.

the analysis based.

on the stillwater level elevation of 254.0 and. also provided the analysis on his most recent stillwater elevation of 251.0 that he believes is appropriate for the site.

This is 1.7 feet lower than his previous proposal of 252.7 feet LSD, which he used in the PSAR as a basis of his design analyses.

The applicant estimated. the wind,-generated.

wave action and. forces at various water levels and. for a broad. range of wave periods on the intake structure at the proposed. location approximately 1/4 mile from the shoreline with a depth of 34,5 feet at a maximum stillwater level elevation 250.0 feet.

The applicant estimated. that the wave forces (breaking on the intake) would. be approximately 1000 kips acting on the entire gross projectional area of the intake structure, ancL a maximum upward force of 325 kips would. occur with a water level of 254 feet LSD.

Accordingly, the staff and our consultants conclude that the wave design forces on the intake structure are conservative and. ad.equate.

The lake water is to 'be conveyed. through intake and discharge tunnels to the screenwell structure located.

on shore.

The screenwell structure's operating floor level is to be at elevation 261.0 feet LSD and. each pump will be mounted on a pedestal above the floor.

The lake-front dike with a crown elevation of 263 feet LSD ancL the intercepting drainage ditch at the back side toe of the dike are for protection of the plant (about 300 feet farther inland,) from the wind.

and wave action associated.

with surges up to anci including the probable maximum.

f I

I

The applicant estimates integrity of the dike (rubble dike structure) based.

on maximum wave runup on the dike, maximum deep-water breaking wave and the maximum wave breaking at the toe of the dike.

He estimated.

the stability of the rubble dike structure from a 11.2 foot wave height associated.

with his designated appropriate water (stillwater) level elevation of 251.0 feet would require armor stone weight of 6 ton.

He further presents that the stability of the dike structure for a still-water elevation of 2+.0 feet and. the associated.

wave height of 14.5 feet would require an armor stone of 13 ton.

Me concur with the applicant's estimate of the armor stone weights for the two conditions;

however, we are not sure of his proposed. design.

Based, on the staff's and. our consultants'ndependent analysis of the probable maximum surge 250.0 feet and. the associated.

wave height of 14.5 feet, the 13'ton stone will be required. to insure the integrity of the rubble dike structure.

The applicant will be required to design the dike to withstand the forces of the 10.5 foot wave associated.

with the stillwater elevation of 254.0 feet where any or all of the dike structure is essential to protect any safety-related structures.

With the crest of the dike at elevation 263.0 feet, the applicant esti-mates the overtopping xate for the lake water level of 2+.0 feet would TS be about,2.0 cfs per linear foot of the 3000-foot dike.

He also estimates the total overtopping flow based.

on the stillwater elevation 250.0 feet is 60,000 cfs.

He concludes that a ditch capacity of 200,000 cubic feet is more than adequate to intercept the overtopping flow and. assurance of lt the ability of the safety-related structures to function is provided.

The staff and our consultants disagreed with the applicant's rate of overtopping.

Based.

on our and our consultant's (CERC) independent

analyses, the overtopping would. exceed.

3 cfs per lineal foot of dike

I I

d El I

I

for wave periods ranging from 12 to 20 seconds with a maximum overtopping of ll cfs for a breaking wave of 13.3 feet and, a period. of 16 seconds.

The total overtopping for this average condition (say 7 cfs per lineal I

foot average) would be in excess of 200,000 cfs.

The applicant will be required. to substantiate the capacity of interceptor ditch to effectively discharge the wave overtopping during the storm period. so that the back shore flooding will not adversely affect the safety-related.

structures.

The stillwater level during the probable maximum storm at elevation 250.0 feet LSD would result in essentially no hydraulic gradient in the total length of the ditch, thus probably allowing water to exceed. the bank of the ditch on the plant side and. possibly accumulate to elevation greater than the plant grade of 260 feet LSD.

The applicant will be required. to verify that the design of the cU.tch has enough capacity to adequately prevent flooding of the safety-related.

facilities with an overtopping rate ranging from 3 to ll cfs per lineal foot of dike or that other residual means (such as emergency procedure covered. by technical specifications) will be taken in such an event to prevent adverse effects to the safety-related. facilities.

The ice ridges building up along the lake shore are not expected. to result in any flooding of the safety-related structures.

Cooling water is to be taken from an intake structure about 1300 feet from the shore line and. conveyed. to the screenwell structure through 1650 feet of tunnel with a cross-sectional area of 238 square feet to keep the tunnel velocity to about 5 feet per: second..

In addition, there

uh.

~

~

~

~

will be two intake tunnels for Unit 1 that are interconnected. to Unit 2 by means of a crossover between the screenwell structures.

The top and.

bottom of the invert of the lake's circulating water intake inlet is to be at elevation 232 and. 222.5 feet LSD respectively.

Discharge from the cooling system will be via/discharge tunnel shared, with Unit 1.

There is one discharge tunnel 1700 feet from the Unit 2 screenwell structure out into the lake, and through a,discharge diffuser with 12 pair of heads with two diffusers on each head..

The 12 outlets are split by a tee, 6 on each tee branch, with a distance of 45 feet between each of the heads.

The total length at the top~ of the tees is 555 feet.

The operating floor of the screenwell structure is to be at elevation 261.0 feet LSD and. each pump will be mounted.

on a pedestal above the floors The staff concludes that there is no potential loss of cooling from the remote possibility of flooding through the intake tunnel or loss of water during the probable minimum lake level.

Heating elements will be installed. in each of the rack bars at the intake to prevent ice forming on the intake bar racks.

These separate heating elements on each bar rack are to be sufficient to keep the temperature of the bars at least 30 deg. F. during periods of subcooling.

The staff has concluded, that the cooling water (and. a primary portion of the Ultimate Heat Sink) is adequate.

2.4.10 Floodin Protection All safety>>related, structures and equipment are located. above eleva-tion 260 feet LSD.

The applicant has evaluated the potential flooding that may occur from three major sourcest (a) flooding from the local probable maximum precipitation~

(b) exterior flooding from probable maximum surge and associated.

wave action; and (c) interior flooding through the intake conduit with surging and associated wave action.

The staff's evaluations of these are as follows'.

The applicant will be required.,

as discussed, in Section 2.4.3, to assure that the local probable maximum precipitation will not adversely affect any safety-related. facilities.

b.

There is no flooding potential for the probable maximum surge and associated.

wave action if'he applicant can verify that the drainage ditch behind the dike can cazry off the wave overtopping during the probable maximum event, without the water surface exceeding plant grade of 260 feet LSD or that the minimum elevation of'll openings and safety-related facilities is not exceeded.

or can be made watertight.

(See Section 2.4.5) c.

As cited in Section 2.4.8 there is no potential flooding of the screenwell safety-related. facilities through the intake and discharge tunnels.

2.4.11 Low plater Considerations The applicant has estimated that lake levels could gradually decline to elevation 2K.6 feet TSD in the event of,an arbitrarily assumed failure of the St, Lawrence River dams before natural controls would

e

'll prevent a further decline.

By superimposing the negative effects of lowering the lake by 4.3 feet due to the probable maximum wind. field blowing the water away from the site, the resulting water level has been considered by the applicant to result in a minimum design lake level of 236.3 feet LSD.

Comparison of this lake level (236.3 feet LSD) with the top and. bottom elevations of the lake intake structure openings (elevations 230.0 and 222.5 feet LSD respectively) indicates that an adequate water supply should, be available, from the lake.

1 The applicant proposed. design of the pit floor elevation 221.0 feet LSD of the screenhouse, which is 15.3 feet below the postulated.

minimum lake level of 236,3 feet LSD.

The applicant also estimated. that a normal head loss of approximately 4 feet would occur through the intake tunnel and. across the trash rack and. traveling screen, thus the sump elevation is to be at 232.5 feet LSD.

He proposes the circulating water pumps be designed to operate with a minimum water level at elevation 232 feet LSD.

He also states the service water pumps will be specified. to have at least a 10 percent margin over the minimum pump submergence requirements at the design (236.3 feet) mi.nimum water level.

Therefore, the loss of cooling water is unlikely in the event at the minimum low water (236.3 feet LSD).

The heat sink water supply consists of Lake Ontario, the lake water intake structure and. intake tunnel, and is capable of providing sufficient cooling water for 30 days and beyond..

Therefore, we and. our consultants concur with the applicant that the loss of cooling water to the safety-related.

equipment, is unlikely in the event of the minimum low-water elevation of 236.3 feet LSD.

2.4.12 Environmental As ects of Effluents The heated. water and processed. liquid zadwaste will be disposed. of via the 12 multi-outlet submerged diffuser headers (two tee branches 6-headers on each branch) with a double nozsle arrangement on each diffuser header some 1700 feet from the screenwell building and in a northwesterly direction from the intake.

The submerged. discharge jets, with a high initial jet velocity, oriented in a lakeward direction, will be deflected toward the water surface due to the buoyancy of the jet and, willflow lakeward horisontally from the point of intersection with the water surface.

The dominant current pattern in the lake is counter-clockwise, i. e., from west to east at the site.

Stozm conditions can, however, reverse the current pattern.

Mater travel times have also been estimated. to vary from a minimum of about 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> to more than 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> between the (nearby James A. FitzPatrick Plant) site and. the Oswego Public Mater Supply intake and. Selkizk Shore State Park.

The total flow of cooling water effluent fzom Units 1 and 2 is about 1788 cubic feet per second (cfs) and is expected to be dispersed and diluted with the water carried past the site by the lake currents.

2.4.13 Ground. Water The ground water table at the site slopes toward Lake Ontario at an average gradient of 2 feet per 100 feet.

The site area is underlaid by a layer of glacial soil overlaying Oswego sandstone.

The sandy glacial tillis interspersed with silts and clays which result in low permeabilities.

There aze no ground. water users down-gradient from the site.

The applicant has reported 16 public water supplies within 30 miles of the site,'wo of which obtain water from the lake; the others obtain

water from wells and, springs.

The two nearest public water supplies are located about seven miles from the site and both use water from the lake.

The applicant has surveyed private ground water use in the area and has found approximately 102 wells within a two-mile radius of the site.

Approximately 29 of these wells are not presently in use.

The estimated daily pumping rate of the wells in use varies from about 50 gallons per day to about 10,000 gallons per day with an over-all average rate of about 650 gallons per day.

The shallow domestic wells in the general vicinity are located up gradient from the plant site; therefore, no ground. water contamination affecting these wells is possible.
