THE CAAK WAL7ON LEACU2 OF I.T.5R!Cl, e.w: .

e ew November 2, 1971 Honorable James R. Schlesinger, Chairman Atomic Energy Commission Washington, D.C. 20545 -

Dear Chairman:

After our fruitful and interesting meeting last week, I did not believe we would need to contact you again so soon. However, as you will note from the enclosed correspondence from the Citizens for Clean Air and Water to the Corps regarding the David-Besse Plant, we apparently do, i

Our membership in Ohio is supporting this Coalition and its position and has asked us to look into the situation. Any advise or comment you can

provide us with respect to the specific points made by the Coalition 1 would be very much appreciated.

Sincerely, 4

Col.1lyron D. Snoko October 21, 1971 District En31near .

Petroit District, Ccrac of Engincors P. O. Cox 1027 Detroit, Pichigan h8231 IFS: NCECC-O 71-01-C Process !!o. 711063

Dear Col. Snoke,

Citicons for Clean Air C.1:ator, Inc., strannously objects to the iscuance of a permit by the Corps cf rnsinocra to Ioledo Edison Co pany for a bargo channel as a part of the Davic-13csco Guclear Poucr Plant Station, in Lako Erio, at Ottawa County, Chio. Cur rossono for objecting cro as follows:

1. % construction licenso which Tclado Fdison Cc=pany rccsivod from the Atomic Energy Oc:rission is obviously 111ogol..Thu Atomic Enorgy Co=nission and Toledo Edison have not conolied with the rcquironents of tho ::ational Environnental Pol-icy t.ct, of Janucry,1970, and thoro uill havo to be a no.i hearing. (Calvert Cliffs locicion, Jodcral District Ceutt, Washington).

2. The Coalition for Safe Unclocr Pouer, of which Citizens for Clonn Air & Water in a conber, has filcd a ccco in District Court in '.:ashington, asking for an injunction to halt construction, and for a now hearing.

3. AlthouCh Tolodo Edison cubr.ittcd an environ =cntal report into the record of the AEC hearing, we, as intarvorcrs, in the hearin3 were not allowed to question thil repert, nor Woro wo allowed to question the authors of the repert. The report is incocolete, inadequato in secna, cnd hcs been edited by the power coc-

. panics. 3.is report also contains no infor.mation on the onvirencental irpact of

the barco channel.

h. The *.later Quality I:::>rovement Act of 1970 rcquired staten to cortify that dicchargos frcn fedcrclly licenced cperatione, such as nuclear power plants, will ncct ths water qcality standards of the st te. Tnc htate of Chio has not certi-fiod that tha dicchar ;oc frc= tic plant will neot the unter quality standards of Ohio. It is the contention of the Walition and CCM;, that they will not acot the standards for the follosing reasons

c. They violate the non-degradation clauco of cur liator Quality Standards

, by not incorporating highest degrou of treatment.

b. They violate the minimum conditions apnlicable to all waters, at all tires, at cM. places, that nothin;: harnful or toxic to hu lan, enigal, plant, or aquatic life shall be in the wotor.

c. AM tests on the Emer6cncy Coro Cooling Systen for the plant havn shown

. the failure of '.he s/' cten to operate. Since this is one of the enfe-guards of the plant, it is obvious that t!v: pinnt connot be safo until such ryotem can be prcved to onarcto. Linco cny accident will violcte the water quality standards of Chio, it is obvious that thero is no assurance that the plant will not violate cuch standards.

For those frou reasons, we feel that the Stato of Ohio canr.ot corLify the diccharcos tha plant.

is because h Atcaic Enorgy Ccmission Honring Board rached t 1971, could continue.

or else the plant would have required certification be It would soca to be extro=oly contrary to the public interont to nllou the dredgint; of a barca chan..cl, uhich obviously uirl. have a <tet&cntG effect on fish in that area, and could hava a very serious effect on noarby spmming groundo, when Wzu has never boon an enviromentnl irnnet stator ont prepared on this portion of the wori:, to daterr.ine if Wre would bo harnfal effects.

In addition, any additional work nerferned by Tolodo EdisSn, might cause further dicraption of the ecolo;g of the norsh arua, and it has novar been legally dotor:ainod ht such plant can be constructed at linvarro ffarsh.

6.

Since the Stata of Ohio has not cortifiod that tha discharges fron the plant vill caot the wator quality standards, and is current normit until the stato ;d.vos such certification. t.o uould also question whether the Corps has auhrity to give a paznit uhon such cortification is also ro-quizud for Corps paraits by the kator Quality Icprove=cnt Act of 1970.

'Je would rogaoct that the Corps adviso us moro ccnnlotoly why an F.nviromental Irmact Statement has not bcon required frca t.ho Toledo Edison Company. Our organization has just recontly recoivod an Eny:Lror.cntal I= pact btatoment from the Buffalo District Offico with rogard to tho dredging of Vermillion harbor, c

. Very truly yours, Evelyn Stobbins, Chairwn cca Chief of Engineers, k' ash. l I
