May 14,1979 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT APPRAISAL BY THE DIVISION OF SITE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS SUPPORTING EXTENSION OF CONSTRUCTION PERMIT CPPR-95 SHOREHAM NUCLEAR. POWER STATION, UNIT 1 DOCCT r!0. ;J-322 ENVIRONMENTALIMPACTAPPRAI,5&
Description of Proposed Act.on By letter dated December 18, 1978, the applicant, long Isl 3nd Lighting Company (LILCC), filed a request with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend the completion date specified in Construction Pemit CPPR-95 for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1.
The action proposed is the issuance of an order providing for an extension of the latest completion date of Construction.Pemit CPPR-95 from May 1,1979 to July 1, 1980. The NRC staff has reviewed the application and found that good cause has been shown for the requested extension of the completion date specifieu in Construction Pemit CPPR-95 for Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (see attached Safety Evaluation by the NRC staff).
Environmental Imoact of the Procosed Action A.
Need for Power The Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 is now scheduled to begin comercial operation in November 1980. As part of the operating license review of this plant, the staff has followed LILCO's need for generating capacity. Examination of the most recent infomation regarding loads and. resources indicates that the conclusion reached in the Final Enviror. mental Statement-Operating License stage (FES-OL) published in October 1977 regarding need for this plant is still valid.
The overall staff's conclusion that the plant should be con-structed is unaffected by the extensier of the construction permits.
B.
Community and Economic Imoact The Final Environmental Statement-Construction Pemit stage (FES-CP) for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 includes an assessment of potential environmental, econcmic and comunity impacts due to site preparation and plant

_2-In addition, the staff did not identify any substantial impacts on the surrounding community resulting from plant construction during a visit to the local area held at the time of preparation of the FES-OL. The only effects possibly resulting from the requested extension would be those due to transposing the impacts in time or extending the total time the local community is subjected to temporary construction impacts. This in the staff's view will not result in any significant additional impact. The staff concludes that environmental impacts associated with construction of the plant described in tt: FES-CP, are not affected by the proposed extensicn. Thus, no significant change in impact is expected to result from the extension.
Conclusion and Basis f r Neoative Declaration On the basis of the foregoing analysis and the NRC staff evaluation, it is concluded that there will be no environmental impact attributable to the proposed action other than that already predicted and described in the Commission's FES-CP issued September 1972 and in the FES-OL issued in October, 1977. Having made this conclusion, the Commission has further concluded thct no environmental impact statement for the proposed action need be prepared, and that a negative declaration to this effect is appropriate.
