Dear Mr. Muller:

This is in response to your letter of 11 September 1972 addressed to Mr. John E. Hirten, Assistant Secretary for Environment and Urban Systems, regarding the draft environmental impact statement, environ-mental report and other pertinent papers on the Crystal River, Unit 3, Nuclear Project, Citrus County, Florida.

The concerned operating administrations and staffs of the Department of Transportation have reviewed the material submitted.

Noted in the review of the Federal Railroad Administration is the following-

"The Federal Railroad Administration notes that the route description of the transmission system gives considerable attention to highway locations but mentions only briefly that railroads are involved in the corridor. Figure III-2 fails to locate these railroads but again emphasizes highway location. While we realize that existing easements will be used, it is felt that the higher voltage of the new lines may

__ alter the situation in the vicinity of the involved railroads.

"The problem of inductive coupling, direct faulting or flash-over with railroad signal and communication circuits is one which should be addressed. Destruction of the integrity of railroad signal and communication facilities is more than an inconvenience as the potential for serious accidents exist."

The Federal Aviation Administration noted:

" Reference is made that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been contacted in relation to this project. No information is identified in the report that states what FAA's action was.

Phone calls were made on 28 September 1972 to Mr. Steve Brill, AS0-600, FAA, Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. Dick Durden, AS0-530, and i

. Mr. James Howes of the Miami Airports District Office. None l of the offices were familiar with the project. Concern was 5848 a

O 5 N, expressed as to local fogging which may-result from this project causing a hazard 'and from the obstruction the facility itself may present to low flying' aircraft. We suggest the following:

1. It' is suggested that airspace review and clearance be made.

2. The FAA office that was contacted should be named as well as the date, the nature of the contact, and the nature and extent of the reply."

The' Department of Transportation has no further conments to offer. We have no objection to this project. We do feel however, that both the concerns of the Federal Railroad Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration should be seriously addressed in the final statement.

The possible problem areas regarding the fogging hazards and airspace clearances must be cleared up to the satisfaction of the Federal Aviation Administration. It is recommended that this aspect be coordinated directly with the FAA regional office in Atlanta, Georgia; address as follows:

Mr. William J. McGill Chief, Airports Division, FAA P. O. Box 20636 i

Atlanta, Georgia 30320 tele 404-526-7224 The opportunity for the Department of Transportation to review and comment on the Crystal River, Unit 3, Nuclear project is appreciated.

Sincerely,

% W f"MG-f
