NOTES

1. Population and population distribution are based on the 1970 census.

Population distributions for the year 1980 are based on projections made by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis (Series E Projections) .

2. Average daily attendance at recreational areas and daily industrial transient population is 1977 actual information obtained by contact with individual facilities.

3. Special facility patient load estimates represent current date (March, 1980).

4. Special facility evacuation times are reported for the combined patient load of all special facilities in an area rather than for each separate special facility. Patient loads were combined because of the trans-portation restrictions encountered when dealing with that percentage of patients which could not be evacuated by any means other than an ambulance. By evacuating that percentage of patients requiring ambulance service to shelters within the vicinity of Catawba Nuclear Station, rather than evacuating them to other hospitals or nursing homes, special facility evacuation times could be considered reduced, and in addition, spedial facility evacuation times greater than 240 minutes may be reduced by the utilization of ambulance service capability outside the counties included in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone. At this time specific agreements for this additional cervice have not been made.

5. Evacuation of any area would proceed to predesignated evacuation centers located outside the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone. Evacuation times are calculated to evacuate only the required area (0-2 miles, 2-5 miles, or 5-10 miles for the respective 180 or 90 degree sector) and not for evacuees to physically reach a predesignated evacuation site.

6. Evacuation times are based on studies of population density, road capacity for evacuation of the designated area (i.e. , 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10), nearness of volunteer and municipal agencies responsible for the actual evacuation planning plus experience and comments of the Area E, Emergency Management Coordinator, N. C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, and the County Manager of York County, S. C. Evacuation times for areas ou: side the 2 mile zone incorporate transit time for personnel passing through to reach their predesignated evacuation site, thereby increasing traffic on evacuation routes. The primary mode of transportation within Catawba's 10 mile radius is via private automobile.

7. Evacuation of educational facilities is not included in Special Facility tines. Bus and private auto transportation out of an evacuation zone from the facility in session or during special activities are provided and are close at hand.

o .

8. Notification times are included for each designated area. Present means of notification is via sirens, bullhorns and house-to-house warnings.

Notification times for fishing and recreational boating on Lake Wylie and Catawba River assume that a direct contact search will be made utilizing police and coast guard auxiliary capabilities.

9. Local civil defense agencies were consulted in preparing the above evacuation time estimates. There were no areas of disagreement.
