INTERVENOR THREE MILE ISLAND ALERT, INC.'S BRIEF ON ISSUE OF PREPARING AN EIS PRICR TO TMI-l RESTART I. Introduction.

By briefs dated October 31,1979, and received by Petitioner en November 2 and November 5, respectively, the Licensee and the NRC Staff responded to the contentien of several Petitioners, including that cf Three Mile Island Alert (TMIA),

that a new or revised final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be completed by the NRC concerning all aspects of the restart of TMI-1. On November 9,1979, Joseph Hendrie, Chairman cf the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, anncunced that a comprehensive EIS concerning the cleanup for restart cf TMI No. 2 would be denn i

by the NRC. The existence of this new EIS and the further reasons set forth herein must propel this Board to a finding that a final environmental impac: statement en moe ..uom the restart of Unit No. I must be ccmpleted and ccmplied with prior to any decisien

.uown s

II. The Restart Of Unit I Involves Environmental Factors Net Previously A Part Of An EIS .

The brief cf the Li::ensee relies on the existing environmental reviews cf TMI-l and the r91Mml operational and technical changes made to the plant as a result cf the accident as support for the position that no new ELS is required. It generously provides citations to the regulations cf the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) (40 CFR Section 1502.9(c) (1) which detail the circumstances under which a supplemental EIS must be done, then proceeds to " explain" why the restart falls cutside those requirements. The explanation provided fails entirely to address the reasons why a new or supplemental EIS must now be under:aken. For '

, clarity cf review, those requirements are as follows:

Agencies shall prepare supplements to either draft er final environmental impact statements if:

(1) the agency makes substantial changes in the proposed action that are relevant to environmental concerns; or (ii) there are significant new circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns and bearing en the proposed action or its impacts. ,

'i 3 As to point (1), TMIA concurs that no such changes are implied by the restart. The unit to be restarted is the same in all important technical aspects as it was before. As to paragraph (ii), the Licensee has missed the point entirely.

The Licensee contends that the existing EIS for the plant already ccvers a ,

1. The safety and praticality of cperating a nuclear pcwer station adjacent
to a five-year cleanup cf a damaged station involving levels and volumes cf radio-1 '

. activity never before experienced in the history cf commercial nuclear power.*

2. The safe operatien cf Unit I when a significant portien cf its tankage is required by an Order of the NRC to be kept available for use in conjunction with the !

III. The Restart Of Unit I Is A Maior Federal Action Significantly Affecting The Human Environment Within The Meaning Of NEPA.

The NRC Staff centends, beginning at page 14 cf its brief, that this restart proceeding, as an enforcement action, need not be the subject cf an EIS, as it is not a =ajor action significantly affecting the human environment. Its first argument is that the IEC requiations cf 10 CFR Section 51.5(d) do not require a NEPA state-ment for every enforcement action. That may be so. However, it is IEPA which entrols when a particular situatien requires an EIS, not the NRC regulations. See Isaak Walton League cf America vs. Schlect.nger, 337 F.Supp. 287 (D.D.C.1971) .

Second, the regulation cited at page 18 cf the Staff brief indicates on its face that some enforcement proceedings may require an EIS. Thus the language,  :

  • "unless otheivise determined by the Com.aissicn." ,

Next the Staff argues that enforcement actions are exempt frem CEQ quide-lines. However, in a lapse into candc. , the Staff admits that the rule, as inter-preted by the courts, applies only to filing an EIS before commencing an enforcement:

] action. See Gifford-Hill & Co. v. FTC, 523 F.2d 730 (D.C. Cir.1975); Mobil Oil j Corp. v. FTC, 562 F 2d 170 (2d Cir 1977) . These cases both address the ques-tion of NEPA at the end cf the enforcement proceeding, and both indicate that NEPA considerations are relevant at that time. Here, it is not the enfcrcement action which is the cause for NEPA review. It is the possible restart, with its attendant

  • wtDCFF 4tAGER,
  • U7[

.~. . , . -

environmental impacts, which must be the subf ect on EIS . Thus, the argument on

,,,. ""," j "_ pages 17 through 24 cf the Staff be.ef, in the present context, is meaningless.

._.m_....

j}77 3l7

. f Finally, on page 25, the Staff begins to address the real question, calling it an " additional analytical problem", i.e., the " extent to which the renewal cf operation of the facility can er should be separately identified as a federal action

.... " More precisely, is the renewal of operatien of Unit I, under present cir-cumstances, a major federal actica significantly affecting the human environment?

The Staff predictably says "no." TAHA disagrees.

A. Analysis of NEPA.

After identifying the issue at page 25 of its brief, as noted above, the NRC

' Staff takes cff on another tangent, carefully analyzing whether an engoing federal ti action requires an EIS in the middle of the program. That is also not the issue.

Finally, the Staff brief admits, on page 29, that "where environmentally significant i

changes in the project are contemplated . . . or where significant new environme:aal.

" impacts are discovered, there may be some responsibility cf the agency to determine j whether a new or supplemental EIS should issue." That is the issue here. Once l

1; d again, the Staff riiemieses the need under this test by addressing and discounting

.I the psycholcgical stress claim, ignoring all other potential environmental factors 1 such as those enumerated in Section II above.

The Board cannot accept the argument that it should look oilly to operaticn cf Unit I with some sort of blinders, ignoring the proximity of Unit II. The Commissien I

wieor.- auam. Order establishing this proceeding charges the Board to address this relationship.*

Further=cre, that the restart cf Unit I is itself a major federal ac*.dcn

. significantly affecting the environment is clear from the relevant cases.

As summarized by the courts in Sierra Club v. Bergland, 451 F.Supp.120 (N.D. Miss.1978), quoting City of Rechester v. U.S. Postal System, 541 F.2d 967, 972 (2d Cir.1976):

In ascertaining the significance cf a major federal acticn, the project must be assessed with a view to the overall cumulative impact of the action proposed, related federal acticn and the projects in the area and further actions contemplated.

As the Court reasoned in Bergland, id:

. . . such a statement (EIS), however, is absciutely required where the proposed action may further be said to have a potentially significant adverse effect. (emphasis added)

The Court concluded its reasoning as to the need for an EIS in the Rochester case by stating that:

Considerations of environmental factors "to the fullest extent i possible" and "beginning at the earliest possible point' are necessary. 38 F. Reg.19856,19865 (1973) . As recognised by the Second Circuit in Conservation Society cf Scuthern

! Vermont v. Sec. of Transportation, 508 F.2d 927, 936 (2d q Cir.1974), Congress was quite aware that incremental effects of small, but repetitive, projects could have major long-term effects.

As the Senate report accompanying NEPA expressly warns, one function of

. ths Act is to prevent decision making that affects the environment frem taking place

, , , , , _ , "in small but steady increments which perpetuate rather than avoid the recagnized '

suower= .

^cua ac mistake of previous decades." S. Rep. No. 91, 296, 91st Cong.,1st Sess. 5 (1969) .

.v o- . . , .,

. .. Thus, the federal courts have had no MwMty in requiring impact statements for

...w ... . w

. m, .3. 3 3 1577 5M

f

" major federal actions" which were no more than the cumulative effect cf related minor federal actions. See, e.g., NRDC v. Grant, 341 F.Supp. 356 (1972);

People of Enewetak v. Laird, 353 F.Supp. 811 (1973); Minnescta PIRG v. Butz, 358 F.Supp. 584 (1973) .

The brief cf the Staff acknowledges the line of cases which hold that the subsequent discovery cf now factors involving an engeing project for which an EIS had already been prepared required the filing cf a supplemental EIS. See Aluli v. Brown, 437 F.Supp. 602 (D. Hawaii 1977) cited at page 28 cf NRC brief.

The Aluli decision does not stand alone, as the tone cf the Staff brief would have

., one infer. A further case is very instructive en this point. In Essex City y Preservation Ass'n. v. Campbell, 536 F.2d 956 (1976), the Circuit Court cf Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed the District Court ruling (399 F.Supp. 208)

' that a supplemental EIS was required because cf changed circumstances. In this

] case, the Governor cf Massachusetts declared a moratorium on the further ccustruc-d tion of a portion of a federalinterstate highway after the EIS for that construction f

~

and related construction forther north had already been filed. The Court's i

.. opinion, discussing the District Court requirement of a new EIS based en the moratorium, is as follows:

While declining to decide whether the Sargent moratorium actually would have such an envircnmentalimpact, the court ,

.i o e , .u.... held that a supplemental EIS had to be prepared in order to suceza effectuate the basic aims of NEPA which favor disclosure of

,, ',"*" *, L all relevant factors affecting agency decisiens. See Monree n.. om

"""***=

County Conservation Ccuncil, Inc. v. Volpe, 472 F .2d 693,

.'. Z.7,. .,,,, 697 (2d Cir.1972) . We are inclined to agree with this judq-ment. While we cannot detez nine with certainty what the

. J. . .. . .' 1577 520

ultimate environmental effects of the moratorium will be, it would seem to constitute the type cf "sigraficant new irforma-tion . . . concerning (an) actien's environmental aspects" that makes a supplemental EIS necessary. 23 C.F.R. Secticn 771.15. Such a supplemental statement, which receives the same type of public comment and expcsure as an original EIS, is likely to facilitate the "ccmplete awareness on the part of the actor cf the environmental consequences cf his action

. . . , " National Helium Corp. v. Morton, 455 F.2d 650, 656 (10th Cir.1971), mandated by NEPA. It is this type of cutside review that can mitigate against errors or pcssible bias. See I-291 Why? Association v. Burns, 372 F.Supp, 223, 245-46 (D. Conn.1974) , aff'd, 517 F.2d 1077 (2d Cir.1975) . In view of the fact that the reconstruction project at issue here is not yet completed and that certain agency decisicns may " remain open to revision," see Jones v. Lynn, 477 F.2d 885, 890 (1st Cir.1973), we cannot say it was improper for the district couit to require appellees to prepare and circulate a supple-mental EIS directed to the impact cf the Sargent moratorium.

Surely, if a postponement in a construction prof ect cf a related stretch of highway can trigger a supplemental EIS, then the accident at TMI-2, its pre.t.mity to Unit I, the synergistic impact cf radiation exposures, the need to share facilities with and the unknown plans for the Unit II cleanup must compel a supplemental EIS on the restart cf Unit I.

i l The Board must keep in mind that NEPA requirements are stringent, and that the issue is not resolved merely because the Licensee and Staff conclude that an EIS is not needed.

The National Environmental Policy At . cf 1969, 42 U.S.C. Section 4321, et W1CQ8N. REACEM, seq., has been litigated now for almost a decade. Courts in every circuit have

  • S EL.KCwtT2 &
  • em - c. recognised its strict requirements. Section 102(2) (c) cf NEPA requires that "to

Jones v. District cf Columbia Redevelopment Land Aqcy., 499 F.2d 502 (D.C. Cir.1974) Cert. den.

96 S.Ct. 299 (Bazelon, C.J.)

In Calvert Cliffs Cecrdinating Committee vs. Atomic Energy Commission, 449 F.2d 1109 (1971), a landmark case under NEPA, the Court, per Judge Wright, 1

. discussed how NEPA is to apply. Judge Wright stated that NEPA required the 1

y Federal Government to "use all practical means and =easures" to protect environ-

] mental values. He further went on to say that the " greatest importance cf NEPA is  :

a .

,j the requirement that agencies consider environmental 1scues just as they consider

' other matters within their mandates."

ll In his opinion, Judger Wright states that the procedural requirements cf ti

" NEPA "are not highly flexible . . . they establish a strict standard cf compliance."

j 449 F.2d at 1112; adding that See
1on 102's mandate that agencies prepare environ-11 j mental impact statements:

. . . must be complied with to the fullest extent, unless there is a clear conflict of statutory authority. Considerations cf

,' administrative difficulty, delay, or economic cost will not suffice to strip the section of its fundamental importance."

sidered which would effect the balance of values . . . . The point cf the individualized balaMng analysis is to insure that the optimally beneficial action is finally taken, supra at 1123.

The Ccurt, in Calvert Cliffs, pointed out that impact statements shculd be

, prepared at a tf=e when it is still pcssible to consider alternatives and pcssible approaches to a particular project. h most cases, it is pcssible and reasonable for the courts to insist en strict compliance with NEPA, and actions can, consistently with public interest, be enjcined until such compliance is forthecming. Jones vs.

'D.C. I.and Development Agency, 499 F.2d 502, 513 (D.C. Cir.1974) . In fact, the courts have stated that there is a presumption in favor cf injunctive relief in i, cases cf NEPA non-compliance. This presumption is necessary in order that the

i o courts may preserve the status quo to allow decision makers the opportunity to

.i .

] choose, with the benefit of advice and counsel, from all affected parties, among the

options available to it. NOREU. vs. United States,11 E.R.C.1841 (D.C. Cir.

!1978).

e Thus, not only is an EIS required, but also it is in the interest of efficiency i

d and fairness to all, including the Licensee, that it be done now, rather than at the -

include a new EIS .

9 secpe of that EIS has not yet been determined nor is there a timetable for comple-tien. Without a final decision as to the methods of decentamination, the dispcsal cf water, wastes and resins, for intermediate and high-level radica:tivity and related concerns, one cannot understand, nor assess, de pctential enviren= ental impact cf restarting and cperating Unit I. Thus, even if a new EIS is undertaken for Unit I, it will be premature unless the final decisions and assessments cf the Unit II cperation have been made. Such a premature statement will then have to be supplemented and revised when the Unit II plan is finalized, making it an interim statement at best, on which no restart could properly be allcwed.

.i IV. Harm To The Human Environment Frem Psychological Stress Is Recognis-able Under NEPA.

TMIA and other intervenors have requested that the harm to the pecple of 1 the Susquehanna Valley arising frem the stress engendered by the restart of Unit I y be part of the subject of an EIS. Both the Licensee and the NRC Staff contend 1 otherwise. The NRC Staff allows that certain non-direct "seciological" factors

' can be considered if there are also direct eccicgical impacts. As we have shown q above, there are direct ecologicalimpacts to consider in a supplemental EIS, thus

,. we can consider ncn-direct " sociological" enes. However, TMIA asserts that the

~To,% ."

medica.ly demonstrable harm to the public is a direct injury to the human environ-ACLKM 8' C.

((*] "" ment. Further, if fcund not to be direct, it is certainly one of the indirect effects 2-. ....

c*-- ~

-.m.,,.,, ef the restart to be studied in the EIS that otherwise must be done.

,m .2. .= 1577 324

I As the affidavit of Dr. Barneski attests (Exhibit "B" hereto) , the stresses related to the continuing operation cf TMI are having substar.tive, real, medical consequences. Reducing this real harm to a psycho-socic1cgical metaphor, as the Licensee and Staff would have us do by calling it " distress", elevates

- semantics beyond a reasonable beund.

The Hanly* 1ine of cases so aptly cited by the Ccmmonwealth cf Pennsyl-vania and cthers en this topic make it clear that protecting the quality of the human

, environment under NEPA requires a review of the effects of the federal action on such diverse factors as health care delivery systems, sewerage treatment, ccm-munity mental health capabilities and the like.

The stress related medical consequences of TMI-1 returning to operation are

more directly evident than seme cf the considerations required by Hanly and its U progeny. Although such factors may be somewhat more difficult to measure than 3 conventional environmental woes, such inconvenience is net a sufficient basis to I

deny their inclusion in an EIS. Calvert Cliffs Coordinating Ccmmittee v. AEC,

. 449 F.2d 1109,1115 (1971) . To decide now, before an EIS is done, that such i measurements will prove so difficult as to be cf no value to the decision makers i

9 surely puts the cart before the horse. At this stage, it is cnly to be decided j whether such a review will be done at all, not to deter =nne or predict what the 1 .

gleaned therefrem, rather than forec!csing agency censideration cf important public topics by pre-determining that it will be too difficult to do.

V. Conclusien.

The public policy cf this ccuntry as ccdified in NEPA is clear: environ-mental concerns must be made a part cf the Federal Government's decisien making precess. As demonstrated above, and by the other intervenors, the restart of TMI-l has the pctential for adversely affecting the quality cf the human enviren-ment. Thus, an environmental impact statement concerning this federal acticn must be issued, after full public contact, discussion and participation.
