H. Regan, Jr., Chief Environmental Projects Branch 2 Division of Site Safety & Environmental Analysis U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissien Washington, D. C.
20556 Refer to: Docket No. 50-471 Draft Supplezaent, Final Environmental Statement, Pilgrim Station Unit No. 2
Dear Mr. Regan:
An important consideration for us in recard to siting Unit No. 2 is the impact on woodland of the transmission line corridors that would have to be built to se.ve each site.
From this standpoint, the "ocky Point location would cause the least ecological damage. Maximum use of existing corridors and other land would occur.
Sites in other States, at Buzzards Bay, or at Montague would require transmission corridors through several miles of valuable woodland.
Because of the unavoidable impact on wetlands, we concur that a site other than the Dunstable site should be used.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this Suppleme:nt.
Sincerely, l
