Dear Mr. suntzing:

following comments on Amendment No. 21 to the Final Safety Analysis 1 (50-313). The con =cnts of Report for Arkensas Unclear One, Unit the Naticnal Marine Fisheries Service are incorporated herein.
The environtantal monitoring program described, in the amendment is inco:..plete and is not responsive to recommendations contained in former Commissicner pautzke's letter dated May 29, 1968, concerning the construction pcmit; and the monitoring program vill not result in adequate surveillance of the radiological impact of the project on fish and wildlife resources and the environment.
The pre-operational radiological surveys completed thus far include camples of water and silt collected at an undisclosed distance from These sampics shculd be taken within 500 feet the effluent outfall.
of the outfall.
Other than for mussels, the surveys do not include adequate sampling of aquatic plants, fish, or bottom organisms. Aquatic biota should be campled as near as possible to the outfall structure and analyzed for both beta and gamma radioactivity. The samples should' include a herbivorous fish such as carp, a carnivorous fish such as bass, and Also, waterfowl, preferably resident aquatic insects or crayfish.
A species, and their food supply should be sampled semi-annually.
permit from the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife is required for the sampling of unterfowl.
We would be pleased to assist the Arkansas Power and Light Company in developing a monitoring program that would adequate]y provide for the protection of the envirorment.
Sincere 3.y yours, A,
