3200 In your letter of January 27, 1977 you requested, among other things, that we supply you with the "to-go" costs to complete Unit 2 and the com=on facilities required for operation of Unit 2 only. In our reply of February 7,1977 we stated that we had no such nu=bers and that we were not able to develop them in the tilme that you had allowed for our answer. However, in the discussion between our representatives and your Messrs. Brenner and Hoefling in Chicago on February 7,1977, we were requested to provide you with ou: "best approxi-mtion."

We have developed such an approximation (see attachment) and an advanced copy was delivered to Lawrence Brenner, Esq. in Chicago on February 10, 1977.

However, you should keep in mind the preliminary nature of these figures and that they do not reflect the costs that would actually be incurred in con-structing Unit 2, and the common facilities required for Unit 2, as a single-unit plant, since they necessarily contain some Unit 1 common costs.

In order to develop the costs contained in the attachment, the cost of the process steam facilities was subtracted from the total common cost of the Plant and the resultant cost was then added to the specifically related costs for Unit 2.

This simplistic approach overstates the common costs assigned to Unit 2 due to the inclusion of the costs for facilities attributable to Unit 1, since some costs in common would not be necessary if Unit 1 is not built, but it is not possible in this amount of time to identify them.

1 I do not know how you plan to use this information but I caution that any thought of suspending Unit 1 and proceeding with Unit 2 only has severe pit-falls; some that immediately occur to me are:

1.

Obviously the cost of Unit 1 will increase significantly due not only to the delay but also because of re-engineering required and interruptions in the construction sequencing.

2.

Obviously the combination of delay and increased cost makes the process steam that much less attractive to Dow, increases Consumers Power Company risks, and delays a permanent solution to the local air pollution prob-lems.

3.

Some of Unit 1 work will have to be continued in order to continue with facilities necessary'for Unit 2 because the Plant was designed and con-struction planned as a two unit Plant with integrated facilities.

1 Severe dislocation of craft manpower will occur since layoffs will be 4

necessary.

5.

Power required for Consumers' electric sys',em will not be available on time and may require purchased power at additional cost.

6.

This action would work against true energy conservation since the con-siderable efficiency benefits of a dual purpose plant are further de-layed.
