APPLICANTS' REPLY TO SCANP'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION DATED SEPTEMBER 27, 1979 On August 21, 1979, SCANP served certain discovery requests on Applicants, seeking information on various aspecto of the plant water systems. Applicants objected to the discovery re-quests as being untimely, as relating to matters on which the record had been closed, and as falling outside the permissible scope of discovery under 10 CFR 2.740(b).

Applicants' written objections were distributed to the Board and parties on August 27, 1.179, which was the first day of the most recent set of evidenti.iry hearings. Two days later, the Board solicited the comments of Applicants and SCANP 1294 293 h'

79 11 080

with respect to the dispute over SCANP's discovery requests.

During that discussion, SCANP's counsel explained that the dis-covery was sought in support of.a motion to reopen the record, which SCANP is considering. He further explained that SCANP would be offering an affidavit containing newly discovered in-formation in support of both its discovery requests and its contemplated motior. to reopen the record. He said that the affidavit would br. filed on August 30, 1979. Tr. 14,587-594.

On August 30, 1979, SCANP's counsel stated that the affida-vit would be circulated not on that day but on the following day, which was August 31, 1979. Tr. 15,043-46. However, 12 more days elapsed without the affidavit being circulated.

Finally, by letter dated September 12, 1979, SCANP served the affidavit of David Stensby (" Af fidavi t") , dated August 30, 1979, on the Board and the parties.

One day after the Stensby affidavit was mailed, the Board issued an order in which, among other things, it sustained Ap-plicants' objections to SCANP's discovery requests dated August 21, 1979. In so ruling, the Board noted that SCANP had twice indicated it would respond to Applicants' objections, but failed to do so.

By its motion dated September 27, 1979, SCANP requested the Board to reconsider its sustaining of Applicants' objections.

SCANP's justification was that the Board's order was issued 1294 294

prior to the Board's receipt of the Stensby affidavit. In this memorandum, Applicants respond to both SCANP's motion for re-consideration and the Stensby affidavit.

The motion for reconsideration should be denied because SCANP was given ample opportunity yet failed to file the Stensby affidavit in a timely fashion. SCANP first promised to file the affidavit on August 30, 1979. Tr. 14,589. That was not done. Next, they promised to file the affidavit on August 31, 1979. Tr. 15,043. That also was not done. The Board postponed issuance of any order on the matter for almost two more weeks, thereby giving SCANP full opportunity to reply to Applicants' obj ections. SCANP has provided no reason why the affidavit was .t filed as promised, even though the af-fidavit was signed on August 30, 1979. Therefore, the Board was fully justified in proceeding to decide the matter as it did.

Nevertheless, Applicants have reviewed the Stenbsy affida-vit and its contentions. The affidavit does not provide a basis for either SCANP's late discove.y request or SCANP's often discussed but unseen motion to reopen the record, which presumedly would relate to the subjects in the Stensby affidavit.

When it was first discussed, the Stensby affidavit was billed as providing " newly learned" and " newly discovered" in-formation. Tr. 14,589, 14,594. Stensby swears trat "in July 1294 295

1979, I felt it my duty to communicate this information to SCANP and its attorney, which I did, since I believed it important." Affidavit, p. 3.

The truth is that the affidavit does not present newly dis-covered information; Stensby's allegations were publicly voiced many months ago. On December 7, 1977, SCANP held a press con-ference to publicize Stensby and his allegations. SCANP's press release 1/ set forth in Attachment A hereto. Stensby made the same charges then that he now repeats in his affida-vit. The newspaper reports of Stensby's press conference in December 1977 are set forth in Attachment B hereto. He al-leged then, as he does nov, that the cooling system was de-signed for 7 cycles of concentration, and not for 12 cycles of concentration as Applicants had represented. Stensby neglected to mention in his affidavit the prior history of his allega-tions. Instead, he would have us believe that it was not until July 1979 that he communicated his "information" on the cycles of concentration to SCANP and its attorney.

The cycles of concentratu 4 question was raised by SCANP c.ven prior to Stensby's December 1977 press conference. More-over, this question has been thoroughly evaluated in this record. In its memorandum to the Department of Agriculture dated June 30, 1977, SCANP alluded to the possibility that a 12 cycle cooling system operation might not be feasible due to 1294 296

higher than expected mineral content in the makeup water. It alleged that the consequences would be an increase in the volume and temperature of the plant ef fluent. SCANP repeated this allegation in a letter dated November 1, 1977, to the As-sistant Secretary of the Department of Agriculture. Applicants replied to SCANP's memorandum and its letter by memoranda dated August 8, 1977, and December 23, 1977. Both the June 30, 1977 memorandum and the November 1, 1977 letter and Applicants' replies thereto were provided to the Board and parties by Ap-plicants at the time.

In response to these assertions by SCANP regarding the makeup water for the plant, the Board requested by its letter dated November 14, 1977, that Applicants and the Staff analyze and comment upon SCANP's assertions. Applicants respon63d by filing affidavits by Frederick C. Mikels and Keith E. Anderson on December 23, 1977. Both affidavits were received into evi-dence at evidentiary hearings held in June 1978, at which both Mikels and Anderson were extensively cross-examined. Follows Tr. 10,688, 10,735. The Staf f responded by filing on Febru-ary 17, 1978, a report by Schreiber, Zussman and Marmer. That report was received into evidence and those three witnesses were cross-examined during hearings held in July 1979. Follows Tr. 12,226.

1294 297

The Ste_sby affidavit raises once again the cycles of con-centration question that has been previously considered.

Stensby alleges that a water quality study by Dames and Moore in 1974 and 1975 established "that silica in the Skagit River exceeded 10 ppm," and as a result of that information, the sys-tem was redesigned f rom 12 to 7 cycles of concentration. Af-fidavit, p. 2. Stensby was referring to water quality data assembled by Dames and Moore f rom a six-month pumping test, which was conducted at the proposed Ranney Collector site between December 1974, and June 1975. The results of that test appear as Attachment B to Applicants' Memorandum dated August 8, 1977, which has previously been referred to. Those results show the mean silica concentration as 12.7 plus or minus 1.9 ppm.1 Stensoy errs, however, in claiming thct this test established silica concentrations for the Skagit River.

As explained by Mr. Mikels, ground water was pumped during the six-month pumping test because the drawdown during the test was not sufficient to overcome the ground water gradient toward the river. Mikels, follows Tr. 10,688, pp. 14, 15. Therefore, the six-month pumping test did not induce a flow of river water and sheds little light on the mineral content of water to be pro-duced by the Ranney Collectors.

1F or comparison, the water quality data collected by the USGS between 1959 and 1970 show that the mean silica concentra-tion for the Skagit River near Mount Vernon was about 6.3 ppm.

Environmental Report, Table 2.5-19.

1294 298 Extensive consideration has been given in this proceeding to the ratio of river water to ground water that the Ranney Collectors will produce. Applicants and Staff have separately determined that the composition of water will be approximately 90% river water and 10% ground water. Mikels, follows Tr.

3041, p. 3; Mikels, follows Tr. 10,688, pp. 2, 12, 13; Schreiber, et al., follows Tr. 12,226, p. 13. Therefore, the water quality of the makeup water should be quite close to that of river water.

Applicants plan to operate at 12 cycles of concentration based upon the conclusion that the makeup water composition will closely resemble that of the river water. Since this con-clusion remains sound, Applicants have made no change in their plans for operation of the Project. Contrary to what Stensby suggests, there has been no redesign for 7 cycles of concentra-tion. Stensby may be confusing the operational plans with the design of the size of the pipes, valves and pumps of the cool-ing water system. The latter have been conservatively over-sized to handle flow rates greater than will be encountered under the projected operating conditions. This is a prudent design practice. The operational plans remain unchanged at 12 cycles of concentration. Moreover, the NPDES permit for the project does not permit operation at less than 12 cycles of concentration. Exh. 57.

h FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS RELEASE - DECEMBER 6,1977

( The Skogit Nuclear Project is inadequately designed at present to meet Puget Power's obligations under its rezone ogreement with Skogit County. Specifically, in all of Puget's submissions to State and Federdi outhorities they have steadfastly, maintained that they con operate their Ronney well system and that the amounts of water to be taken and discharged were firm figures. These numbers are based upon the assumption that the cooling water for the reactors con be recycled up to 12 times without cousing scaling and other, problems in their heat exchange equipment. Based upon the following evidence, it appcors that Puget will not be able to concentrate the water more than 5 to 7 times, and this may cause them to eliminate the Ranney well system and take mere water directly from the river in order to meet the outfall temperature limitations.

Information from the local refineries shows that they con operate their cooling systems, which are very similar to Puget's, of only 8 to 9 cycles of concentration, and they use chemicals for treatment which Puget is not allowed to do, and they utilize purer water, both of which minimize the scaling problem. Therefore, on that basis alone it appears that Puget will not be able to use 12 cycles of concentration as planned. -

Additionally, evidence received in August of 1977 detailing several months of water quality collection also shows that the water quality from the Ronney wells will be different from that from the river, and will probably cause considerabic scaling problems at 12 cycles of concentration. This dato, collected by Puget from December 1974 to June 1975 has never been previously submitted in either State or Federal hearings, and the State hearings occupied 1294 301

o period from early 1975 through early 1976. The only data that Puget has previously submitted is shown in ottoched Table C, which are three grob samples from the Renney wells. It is easy to see wh Puget withheld this information for so long since it shows conclusively that the water quality from the Renney wells has a much higher hardness then the river, increasing the likelihood of scaling problems The fact that this dato existed was brought to our attention by Mr. Stensky, a mechanical engineer whose former job with Puget Power consisted of reviewing the adequacy of the water system for.: ir project. .

To summarize, the data just released from Puget Power now shows that their Ranney well water somptes have hordness and silico contents, etc., roughly double that of the Skogit River itself, which is the sotrce for the Anacortes refineries. The refineries operate on this purer water and utilize some chemical treatment but con achieve only 8 to 9 cycles 6f concentration. Therefore, it is extremely doubtful that Puget will be able to operate at its officially projected 12 cycles of concentra tion. '

This will mean a much larger volume of hot blowdown from the cooling towers, which will raise the temperature of the effluent considerably, probably violating the temperature limitotions set by the' County rezone agreement and raising the possibility of greater fish kills. Puget's alternative is to obondon the Renney well system so they con take purer water directly from the river. However, in that event they would probably be limited to the some figures of concentration as the refineries.

Furthermore, this would mean a massive surface water intake system which would imperil yo fry being drawn into its inlet.

In summary, no matter which method Puget elects to try to solve their problem, it will mean a greater hozord to salmon in the river and will raise the outfall temperature. S.C. A. N. P. has brought these matters to the of tention of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, and a special hearin has been requested by Chairman Jensch.

.L See a Threat To the Skagit By Wayne Jacobi Opponents of Puget Sound Power & Light's proposed twin nuclear power plants in the Skagit Valley charged yesterday that " poor design" of the cooling towers will lower the water quality in the Skagit River.

John Ellis, Puget Power president, said the company is in " full compliance" with all laws governing the discharge of water into the river.

Larry Carstens, president of the Skagitonians Concerned About Nuclear Power, accused Puget of withholding water qualjty data for three years because it Nas very damaging."

Carstens and Dave Stensby, a mechanical engi-neer formerly employed by a consultant hired by Puget to review the design, said the original plans called for recirculating hot water through the cooling towers 12 times before discharging it back into the tiver.

That, Stensby said, waa based on the assump.

tion that the water from a system of wells , from which Puget intends to draw water to cool the hot reactor, was of about the same chemical content as the river itself.

It turns out, he added, that the well water has more minerals in it than the river. Minerals form scale and sediment in the cooling sys'em and could not be recirculated 12 tim (s without flush-ing.

Stensby said he brought this to the eneering staff's attention and that there was " verbal agree-ment" that seven cycles might be the maximum.

He contended that would raise the water tempera-ture of the discharge into the river.

Carstens said that v ould violate Puget's zoning agreement with Skagit County, which calls for a maximum pointof-discharge temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit.

Both the state and federal government licens-ing agencies have water temperature standards for nuclear power plants, with which Puget must con-form, in addition to the county ordinance.

Neither the state nor the federal Nuclear Regu-latory Commission has granted Puget a license for the project, estimated by Puget to cost $2.1 billion but which SCANP now says may cost $4.1 billion.
