Decr ;Ir. Sieverding:

He have revie.ed your letter of December E9, 1973 in v;hich you request certain infarra ion frc:.? the U. S. :'PC relative to proposed oil and gas lease sales ir. the Scuta Atlantic - Gecr;ia Ertament.

Our reseensas to your spacific c,uestions are crevidaJ in the enclosures to this letter.

!!e trust that this inforriation will orove useful to yet:

in the deveio.on!ent of tha envircnnental ir. pact, stater:ent for the prcposto praject.

1.

Identify kinds and amounts of radionuclides prcsent in produced formation waters and the environmental effects of 43($

these discharges.

?id d

Surface releases of radionuclides should present no problems.

d The Liquid Generic Pathway Study (See attached report) provides Wj results and methods which would allow order of magnitude estimates

'M to be made for the type and quantity of the releases.

x.

mN We are aware of the existence of extensive freshwater aquifers did whicn extend off the east coast.

We have no specific informa-tion on the quality, quantity or movement of these waters.

y%:

Hc.;ever, given the location it may be assumed that movenent is from

[

" fresh to salt".

If this can be confirmed, possibly by the U. S.

I Geological Survey, incidental contamination of the aquifer would

(;;;

most likely not impact the use of the aquifer.

Finally, if concern is high, a control and inspection program H

to isolate the aquifer from the drill column could be required as a condition of drilling.

Authorizing action required by law or regulation to complete this proposed action.

qf4 stud'es there would be a 12-14 year elapsed time to bring a

22 nuclear po<!er plant on line.

At that time nuclear power will most probably be serving different users than oil and gas and therefore generation of electricity by nuclear power is not

$d considered an alternative to, or substitute for, base load oil or gas power plants. National policy is to discourage the use M

of oil and gas for electricity generation.* These fuels will hvi mostly be used for peaking units and perhaps some intermediate i%

units.

Currently, there is interest in converting oil and gas

}d base load facilities to coal fired units as well as phasing out

,i oil and gas base load plants before the end of their economic The National Energy Plan, Executive Office of the y"og(fd

However, this

$nMi conversion will have been accomplished well before nuclear W

facilities not now being considered could be brought on 5

line.

It appears that in the future the nuclear power alternative h

would not be in direct competition with oil and gas as a means P.

of satisfying base load electric demands.

The enclosed map and table shows the nuclear power plants by state if;s which are operating or are under construction along with their respective electric generating capacity.

The plants shown by pg (x) on the table would perhaps be germane to your stody.
