.s DISCUSSION QUESTIONS PREPARED BY DRE? AND BNL RELATIVE TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL STATEKENT FOR CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 I.
ECCLOGY A.
Terrescial No mention is made of birds particularily of rare end endangered species. What information can be supplied on rare and endangered birds, enmmnis, and reptiles and the expected impact on their environment which might occur at the Crystal River site. Who officially designated the plant site as an Eagle Sanctuary?
3.
Aquatic 1.
References are given to reports of ecological scientists studying the effects of Units 1 and 2, and to data published in the Environmental Status Reports.
Copies of the quarterly Environmental Status Reports as well as the original aquatic ecology (effect studies) reports, where available would be helpful.
2.
Where copies of reports mentioned are not available, it would be helpful to have a list of the names, mailing addresses, major research emphasis, and pertinent reports of the principal investigators involved.
3.
Units 1 and 2, under full load, provide a 12.5 F temperature.
rise in the discharge canal and all units would provide an estimated 15 F increment. Thus geak temperatures in the discharge canal would reach 102 F.
What fish enter the discharge canal during the summer or is there a definite avoidance at this tLae? Are there any on-site data on this phenomenon?
4.
The Florida Department of Natural Resources was said to be conducting environmental studies (effect of heated water on oysters, sampling of plankton in intake canal, fish holding pens in discharge canal, etc.).
Results of these studies were discussed briefly. Details of these studies should be presented, if available.
5.
We should like to have a table or figure providing data on the ambient intake temperature, the estimated tempera-
' tures in the discharge canal from Units 1, 2 and 3 under full load operation, and the percent frequency over the year that these temperature conditions will exist. Calculations at 2 intervals, and correlated with season are suggested.
6.
Table V-8 is-incomplete for effective evaluation.
It should include estimate of numbers and size ranges of the species involved, on a monthly basis. The data should be available for operation of Units 1 and 2 and esticated for operation of
~
Unit 3.
7.
What.is the expected extent and frequency of shutdown of the various units?
8.
The thermal effects of entrainment of planktonic organisms through the plants depend both on the temperature incrcment and the duration of exposure. About how lo n g, on the average, does it take a drifting plankan organism to pass through the plant and discharge canal under projected flowthrough conditions?
9.
What are the durations of the spawning seasons for the commer-cially valuable finfish and shellfish in the vicinity of the Crystal River plant? What is the duration of occurrence of juveniles?
II. HYDROLOGY - HYDRAULICS 1.
Alternate Cooling - Frest Water Cooling Tower a.
What volume of flow would be required for makeup and blowdown?
b.
Could this amount of flow be supplied from a source other than 'the local aquifer system? At what cost?
2.
Has a hold-up pond been considered as a cooling enhancement for the once-through condenser effluent?
If so, what are the conclusions? If not, would such a pond compare favorably with other evaluated cooling enhancements?
3.
If numerical results predict that water quality standards (thermal) cannot be satisfied with the proposed outfall design, what action will be taken?
4.
In the event water quality standards (thermal) are exceeded at some time after the plant start-up what action would be taken:
a.
If this is a chronic condition.
b.
If this condition is occasional (say, 10% of the time)?
w s
c, 5.. Although the receiving water is shallow, the environmental report states that effluent from Units 1 and 2 results in a hot salt wedge to some extent.
Do you feel this will be a chronic effect covering significant bottom area for the proposed operation? What bottom temperature do you expect extending over what areas? How does this density current eventually mix with the receiving water?
6.
In the absence of fresh water influence from the Withlacoochee River, is the receiving water and plume well mixed vertically?
7.
What computational assumptions were used in preparation of the thermal field predictions?
8.
What supporting technology in the way of comparisons of models and field data were used to verify the computational system employed:
9.
Disregarding tidal influences, what is the general circulation pattern in the vicinity of the outfall? Are there local pre-vailing currents?
- 10. What is condenser coolant transit time from condenser entry to ocean discharge point? What are condenser tube coolant velocity and transit thae?
11.
How was the 5 F isotherm area arrived at for the proposed outfall system?
III.
PLANT EFFLUENTS A. - Chemical Wastes 1.
A table of anticipated chemical releases for each source is desired to show average quantities as well as maximum and average concentrations at point of discharge.
Include, among others, chromates and boron.
2.
The Applicant states that hypochlorite will be used to control marine growth in the condenser tubes of Unit 3.
Hypochlorite is currently used for this purpose in Units 1 and 2 (fossil fuel plants) and no chlorine residual is detectable in the circulating water discharge.
Is the chlorine demand of the circulating water always sufficient to prevent significant chlorine residuals in the circulating water discharge? What safeguards are used to prevent an accidental overdose of hypochlorite?
c
. 3.
It is planned to treat chemical wastes by evaporation.
What is planned for the disposal of the waste concen-trates?
B.
Radioactive Mastes 1.
Detailed population data are given for the years 1967 and 2015 in the FSAR.
The 1970 data should be provided for man-rem calculations and extrapolation to 1973 or 75.
2.
Tt.e 1970 population data (above) should be shif ted by 11-1/4 (one-half sector) so that the center of the sectors coincides with the compass directions given for the wind data.
3.
Meteorological data in the FSAR list only the average wind speed per stability class.
Improvement in the accuracy of the air-submersion dose calculations would result if the frequency of occurrence of various wind speeds is
- used, i.e., a joint frequency distribution of wind-speed,
-direction, and -stability class.
4.
More description of sampling locations, frequency, and schedules is desired.
'5.
State the species of fish that are caught in the canals, the number of people that catch the fish, and the pounds per person per year. EstLaates should be made where applicable.
6.
What is known regarding movement of water from the outfall back to the shrimp beds?
-IV.
COST-BENEFIT CONSIDERATIONS 1.
What was the 1960 and 1970 population in the Applicant's service area and what population is estimated for 19807 2.
What is the initial and ultimate net power capacity of Crystal River Unit 3 and what is the appropriate 30-year plant factor?
3.
How complete is over-all plant construction as of this date?
4.
What is the current expendituue of funds on the plant, i.e.,
the walk-away cost?
w
-s s
.~
5.
What generating capacity is due to be retired from 1973 to 1980?
6.
Describe the generating capacity, in addition to Crystal River Unit 3, that is to be added to the system by 1980; e.g.,
gas turbines for peaking?
7.
Provide the following information for years 1960, 1965, 1970 through 1980?

(c less d) 8.
At what distance from the Crystal River facilities are the closer wildlife preserves?
9.
Where is the location of the undeveloped state park describe on page 111-53 of the Environmental Report?
10.
On page 111-53, you state that "A competition between recreational and residential land uses will occur in the Crystal River Area." Are these lands near or similar to those within the Crystal River site?
11.
Can the Crystal River utility facilities be seen frem the Crystal River Indian Ebunds historical landmark?
- 12. - The extension of the two canals to Unit 3 involves excavating 175,000 yards of material. How many acres are involved with the deposit of these spoils?
13.
Identify the acreage of land required for exclusive use by Unit 3 plant features, and identify any additional acreage that would be required by each alternative.
l I
. 14.
Assuming that the alternative heat dissipation methods identifica were associated with Unit 3 operation only, discuss how the benefits and costs of the alternatives may vary from those schemes identified to handle Units 1, 2 and 3.
15.
Are there any plans for a visitor's center at the Crystal River site?
16.
The 1100 acres of land associated with the cooling pond alternative vas assessed to have a 30-year presenc worth of $4,002,700. Please describe the values which make up this figure.

Dear President Nixon:
For as long as I have lived, a grand total of 20 years, I have enjoyed the clear blue skies of the gulf coast of Florida. Now the governemnt has built a supposedly much need nuclear power plant at the end of the barge canal in Yankee town, Florida. This,reat gross machine spewes great clouds of pale yellow smoke in a ne at line for as far as my eyes can see. WHY???
Yours sincerley, i-j j
