Pursuant to Section 105c (8) of the Act, the Commission has consulted with the Attorney General regarding the issuance of this construction permit. After said consultation, the Commission has determined that the issuance of this permit, subject to the conditions set forth in this subparagraph D, in advance of con-sideration of and findings with respect to matters covered in Section 105c of the Act, is necessary in the public interest to avoid unnecessary delay in the construction permit of the facility.
At the time this construction permit is being issued an antitrust proceeding has been noticed, but antitrust hearings have not commenced. Therefore, the Commission has made no determination with respect to matters covered in Section 105c of the Act, includ-ing conditions, if any, which may be appropriate as a result of the outcome of any antitrust proceeding. On the basis of its finding made as a result of an antitrust proceeding, the Commission may continue this permit as issued, rescind this permit or amend this permit to include such conditions as the Commission deems appropriate.
Consumers Power Company and others who may be affected hereby are accordingly on notice that the granting of this construction permit is without prejudice to any subsequent licensing action, including the imposition of appropriate conditions, which may be taken by the Commission as a result of the outcome of any antitrust proceeding.
In the course of its planning and other activities, Consumers Power Company will be expected to conduct itself accordingly.
E.
The applicant shall comply with the following additional conditions for the protection of the environment:
a.
Modify the cooling water intake structure design to allow a reduction of the intake flow velocity to less than one foot per second to minimize fish loss.
b.
Relocate the 138 kv transmission line from the Dow South Substation so as to utilize the same river crossing as the 345 kv lines.
c.
At least two years prior to plant operations, initiate an ecological (including radiological) study of the site and environs to establish base line values. The study should have a scope and frequency which will:
