l - . -

has not performed any analyses, for any purpose, which utilize accident sequences contained in WASH-740, and the Commission's regulations do not require such analyses. Furthermore, in accord-ance with the Commission's regulations, Applicant has not con-sidered evacuation beyond 10 miles of the ACNGS. However, Applicant has answered some of the questions in the various subparts of Interrogatory 1, based upon generally relevant information in its preliminary plans for coping with emergencies.

Applicant has made no estimates of the number of short-term deaths that might occur from " accidents like those in WASH-740."

Interrogatory 1.b.:

b. How many serious injuries would probably occur?

What medical facilities and personnel will be available for care and treatment of injured?

What special training is planned or anticipated for such personnel? What specialized equipment and supplies will be available for treatment of injuries expected from such an accident? Iden-tify individuals and agencies responsible for care and treatment of injured. Describe their qualifications and training.

Response

Applicant has made no estimates of the number of serious injuries that might occur from accidents like those in WASH-740.

The final ACNGS emergency plan will detail provisions for first aid, decontamination, transportation, and treatment of injured individuals at the ACNGS in accordance with NRC regula-

tions. First aid and decontamination areas with trained per-sonnel will be available on-site. Preliminary arrangements have been made with Polly Ryan, Memorial Hospital in Richmond, Texas and with the University of Texas - M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston for the treatment of contaminated and significantly exposed individuals. Descriptions of these on-site and off-site facilities, the equipment at their disposal and personnel training will be discussed in detail in the final ACNGS cmergency plan prepared with the operating license appli-cation.

This task will be the responsibility of the local authorities and will be discussed in each local emergency operations plan.

Interrogatory 1.h.:

h. Please identify individuals or agencies who will be responsible for determining if and when evacuation is necessary. On what criteria will such decisions be based? What information, from what source will be used?

[usponse:

The Texas Department of Health, Division of Occupational Health and Radiation Control is responsible for the assess-ment of any radiation threat to the general public.

The Texas Department of Health plans to utilize the Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Action Guides when they become finalized. In the absence of finalized Federal guidance, the State will assess any actual or poten-tial offsite releases of radioactivity using Part 21 of the Texas Regulations for Control of Radiation.

The State's source of information about any potential or actual release of radioactivity to the public will be the plant and the State's own environmental monitoring.

Interrogatory 1.i. (1) :

i. Should evacuation be deemed necessary:

(1) Describe the types of vehicles considered, their availability, reliability and capac-ities. What problems have been anticipated in this regard and how will they be resolved?

Response

A preliminary analysis of evacuation for areas around the ACNGS assumed the utilization of automobiles with a

capacity of 2.5 persons per vehicle. More detailed vehicle deccriptions and any special problems noted will be discussed in the final ACNGS emergency plans and in the local emergency plans.

Interrogatory 1.1. (2) :

(2) What mode of transportation will be avail-able for evacuation of elderly and handi-capped living in residences, schools, hos-pitals, jails and prisons, rest and conva-lescent homes, homes for aged, and other such centers? What studies have been done to assess the magnitude of this problem?

Please produce data.

Response

A preliminary analysis of evacuation assumes that special facilities such as schools, parks, hospitals, and nursing homes could be evacuated using automobiles and buses. Actual transportation modes for these facilities will be discussed in the final ACNGS Emergency Plan and in the local emergency plans.

In preliminary discussions with the Applicant, the local county sheriffs offices have indicated they perceived no difficul-ties in evacuating these special facilities.

Interrogatory 1.i. (3) :

(3) Descibe plans and arrangements made, or to be made, for providing for evacuees. Where will they go? What shelter'will be provided?

Will they be removed to other urban areas, or are tent-city type facilities to be pro- ,

vided? If the later, what arrangements l have been made for sites and equipment? If 1

l

V

. the former, name urban areas, facilities and persons or agencies with whom arrangements have or will be made.

Response

The plans and arragements for the provision of evacuees will be discussed in the final ACNGS emergency plan and in the local emergency plans.

Interrogatory 1. i . (4) :

(4) What estimates have been made as to minimums and maximums of necessary length of evacuation period?

Response

In the aforementioned preliminary evacuation analysis, a minimum evacuation time of 15 minutes was estimated for an area of about 2-miles in radius around the ACNGS, assuming good weather conditions and the permanent population. A maximum evacuation time of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and 40 minutes was estimated in a 10-mile radius around the ACNGS, assuming heavy rain or foggy weather conditions, the permanent population and a peak transient population.

Interrogatory 1.i.(5):

(5) What estimates have been made as to timely safe return to evacuated areas?

Response: .

The Applicant has made no estimates of the timely safe return to evacuated areas, and no such estimate is required by NRC regulations.

Interrogatory 1.1.(6):

(6) Identify planned evacuation routes. What studies have been made to determine suita-bility and adequacy of these routes? Are they, and will they be, accessible? Are they to be made one-way routes? If so, will they prevent or hamper counter flow of emergency traffic? Are they free of possible flooding in storm conditions? [ Consider worst likely weather and traffic conditions, what is estimated to be time required for evacuation of given population groups?)

Provide estimated carrying capacities of pro-posed evacuation routes under a variety of possible conditions, including but not limited to, direction, time, weather, etc.

Response

The analysis referred to in the Response to Interrogatory 1.1. (1) preliminarily identifies the planned evacuation routes from the ACNGS area. These routes include Route 36, Inter-state Highway 10, Route 1093 and Route 60. Applicant believes, based upon preliminary analysis, that the evacuation routes identified are suitable for evacuating the population. The precise suitability, adequacy and accessibility of proposed evacuation routes will be discussed in the final ACNGS emergency plan. The evacuation analysis relates the estimated time of evacuation of parts of or the entire 10 mile radius around the ACNGS, under four postulated cases, including the worst case of adverse weather. Under the worst population conditions and adverse weather, the time of evacuation of the entire 10 mile radius was estimated to be 100 minutes.

, P. O. Box 1700 Houston, Texas 77001

Dear Mr. McCuistion:

3 is letter confirms discussions I have had with HL&P representatives concerning e.ergency planning by the Austin County Sheirff's Department in support of the Allens Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

The Sheriff's Department is the primary organization for providing protection for the public in Austin County and will help to coordinate the emergency planning activities of local organizations within the county. We understood that detailed emergency planning is required to a distance of about ten miles from the nuclear plant. This area would encompass portions of Fort Bend, Waller, Wharton and Colorado Counties, as well as Austin County. We have discussed this me.tter with the Sheriff's Departments of these other counties and stand

cady :: coordinate emergency planning with them.. We understand that the primary i State organization for radiological emergency planning is the Texas Department of Health and we look forward to working with them in further development of our emergency plans.

The main center of emergency communications in the county is operated by the

! Austin County Sheriff's Department. Telephone, radio and teletype communica-tions systems are available to ensure that communications can be established to local agencies, surrounding counties and State emergency organications.

We understand that direct communications will be provided between the Allens Creek station and the Austin County Sheriff's Deparment.

V2 understand that the Allens Creek Emergency Plan will cover a wide range

{

of emergency conditions classified according to their actual or potential severity. Our offsite emergency plan will relate to the same classifications ,

as contained in the Allens Creek plan. We understand that the Texas Depart-f ment of Health will also have those same emergency classifications. The emergency actions which we will implement will be commensurate with the emergency classification and will be based on recommendations received from liL.W and/or the Texas Department of Health. The actions for which we will plan range from simple acknowledgment that we have been notified of an unusual event, up to and including evacuation of the public. We will cooperate with HL5P, local orgaizations and surrounding counties in the development of detailed evacuation plans.

a We presently have the capability to make pronpt notification to the population of Austin County in the event of an emergency. Uc understand that additional notification criteria are being evaluated. We will cooperate with HL&P in specific plans for public notification.

We will participate in the radiological emergency training provided by HL&P as well as emergency drills and exercises that may be required.

This Sheriff's Department stands ready to work with HL&P, the State of Texas and other response agencies in the development and implementation of our emergency plans relative to the Allens Creek facility.

Very truly yours,-

" ACNGS-?SAR 2.1 GEOGRAPHY AND DESOGRAPHY s _/ 2.1.1 SITE LOCATION The site of the Allens Creek Nuclear Generating Station (ACNGS) is located in southern Austin County, Texas, icnediately west of the Brazos River and about 45 miles west of the center of Houston (Figure 2.1-1). The site consists of a nominal 11,000 acres of land and includes those areas to be occupied by the station, the restricted area, the cooling lake, and adjacent areas owned by Hourton Lighting & Power Company (HL&P) (Figure 2.1-2).

The reactor coordinates are:

UNIT 1 UNIT 2 Latitude 29' 40' 43" 29' 40' 45" Longitude 96* 06' 15" 96* 06' 17" Texas Coordinate System 682,280 f t N 682,440 ft N (South Central Zone) 2,919,430 ft E 2,919,310 ft E Universal Transverse 3,286,501 m N 3,286,549 m N Mercator System 780,254 m E 780,216 m E 2.1.2 SITE DESCRIPTION O

(,) The station will be located on uplaEds about four miles northwest of Wallis, and seven miles south-southeast of Sealy, between State Highway 36 and the Brazos River floodplain. Elevations at the station range from 120 to 146 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) . The station will occupy about 300 acres of agricultural land, most of which is range of varying quality; some of the area is presently used for cropland and improved l pasture. In general, the area is less productive than the adjacent floodplain. A few farm residences are located in the area.

The cooling lake will be located on a portion of the Brazos River flood-plain between State Highway 36, Farm to Market Road (FM) 1458, FM 1093, and Mixville Road (Figure 2.1-2). Elevations within the floodplain range from 98 to 105 feet P3L. The cooling lake will have a no=inal ef fective cooling area of 7,600 acres, although the existing basir s and a:;uatic breeding areas will bring the total lake area to approximately 8,250 acres (exact acreages are shown on Figure 2.1-2).

The tajority of the area has been cleared of the native hardwood vegetation, and an extensive systes of drainage ditches has been constructed, allowing much of the area to be used for row-crop farming. Majer crops grewn include corn, cotton, sorghu=, hay and i=pr:ved pasture. In sc e cases, the native b

pecan trees were spared during clearing operations; these trees now con-j, tribute to agricultural incere. The pecan orchard areas also serve as pastures, as do other partially-cleared and uncleared areas.

Due to occasional flooding f ro= the Ira:cs River, very f ew structures have been built within the lake area; cost of the ferrer property evners live in surrounding upland areas, or in Sealy or Wallis. As a result, there are only about 16 occupied residences within the entire site area.

Most of these are within the upland areas to be included within the restricted and park areas (Figure 2.1-2) .

Plans are being formulated for two recreational areas to bc developed for public use. The larger recreational area will be located south of the restricted area (Figure 2.1-2), between the cooling lake and State Highway 36. The smaller recreational area will be located along the southern portion of the dam, between the lake and FM 1458. Activities available to the public will include picnicking, camping, fishing, boating and wa ter-skiing. A visitors' facility will provide infor=ation and brochures describing the ACNGS, the cooling lake and the recreational areas to interested visitors.

Most of the area owned by HL&P, but not included in the station, park, restricted or cooling lake areas, may be leased for grazing purposes. This includes most of the area located between the cooling lake and the Brazos River (Figure 2.1-2).

Q 2.1.2.1 Exclusion Area Control Houston Lighting and Power Cc=pany is purchasing in f ee the surface estate of the 11,150 acre ACNGS, which includes the 2,850 acre exclusion area. No land is to be leased. The mineral estate has not been purchased unless the sur-face owner requested that both estates be conveyed to the Company. In all cases where the mineral estate was not conveyed, but retained by the granter, a reservation was placed on the grantors, their heirs and assigns to the 0 effect that these grantors, their heirs and assigns shall not be permitted 02.1 to drill or operate for =inerals on the property, but will be permitted to extract oil and other minerals froc under the property by directional drill-ing or other means, so long as the Company's use of this property is not interfered with, disturbed or da= aged. The Co=pany thus retains the right to exclude renoval of minerals from under the total ACSGS property.

By reason of having full and legal surface title tc the land, Houston Lighting & Power Company has the authority to regulate ans and all activities within the exclusion area, including the exclusion ef personnel and property.

The implerentation of this authority is the responsibility of the plant supervisory staff, who will be aided by (1) a barbed % ire fence arcund the land portien cf the exclusier area, and (2) ficating bu es arounf the lake portion. Both the fence and the buoys will be clearly f esignated as the litits cf the exclusien area. In additien, the bueys will be connected by nylon rcpe and illurinated at night.

2.1.3 POPULATION AND POPULATION DISTRIBUTION It is planned that the proposed nuclear power facility will go on-line in 1980 and have a projected life of 40* years. Population studies were directed toward estimating the population distribution within 50 miles of the site by decade from 1980 to 2020. Data from the 1970 U. S. Census were used to determine a base-date distribution for comparison with pro-jected population estimates.

2.1.3.1 Population Within Ten Miles The site is located in a sparsely populated rural area. Wallis, the nearest com= unity, lies about four miles southeast of the station and had a population of 1,028 in 1970 (Ref. 2.1-2) . The only other connunity of over 1,000 within 10 miles of the site is Sealy, with a population of 2,685 in 1970 (Ref. 2.1-2). All co== unities with more than 100 residents in the area are listed in Table 2.1-1.

. The area within 10 miles of the site includes portions of five counties:

Austin, Colorado, Fort Bend, Waller and Wharton. Census districts within 10 miles are listed in Table 2.1-2. Population densities are low in each Q of the five counties, ranging from 18.6 persons per square mile in Colorado County to 60.2 persons per square mile in Fort Bend County. The area in the immediate site vicinity (the rural Wallis Census Division) has an esti-mated density of only 14 persons per square mile.

A clear growth pattern emerged in the five-county area during the 1960's, with significant increases in the population of counties to the east (Fort Bend and Waller) and declining populations in counties to the west (Colorado and Wharton). The population of Austin County was stable, with only a 0.4' percent growth during the decade. The historical growth pattern is depicted on Figure 2.1-3, which shows the growth rates and the population densities of all counties within 50 miles of the site. This pattern indicates that counties to the east, bordering the Houston Metropolitan Area, began to share in Houston's growth, while counties to the west, removed from the influences of Houston, continued to show the population decline that is characteristic of many rural areas in the United States. This basic pattern is expected to hold in the future, although the Houston Metropolitan Area's sphere of influence is expected to extend farther west, causing moderate population gains in Austin, Colorado and Uharton Counties.

The 1970 populations and population densities in sectors within 10 miles of the site are depicted on Figures 2.1-4 and 2.1-5, respectively. While these sector populations are based upon 1970 census data', extensive refining of the census information was necessary in order to obtain the accurate, small-scale population distributions shown on these figures. This was Q acco=plished through house counts in the rural areas and in towns too small to be recorded separately in census data. The number of houses in a given segment was estimated through interpretation of aerial photo-graphs combined with field checks. The number of houses was then converted to a population estimate by multiplying the number of housing units by the average number of persons per household within the appropriate census district, as listed in Table 2.1-2.

Population projections for the census tracts were taken from a report published by the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) entitled, "A Special Report, Population Projections, 1970-2020, for the Gulf Coast Planning Region" (Ref. 2.1-9). These projections are the most thoroughly researched projections presently available.

Distribution of the projected populations for a census division to the sectors shown on Figures 2.1-4 and 2.1-5 was made by assigning each sector i

the percentage of the total census division population that it had in 1970.

This method of apportionment channels most of the projected growth into i the sectors already developed. Using this method, no sector is projected to have i population large enough for space to beceme a limiting factor; p 2.1-4

ACNGS-PSAR

. also, the areas that are presently more heavily populated are recognized fg as the more desirable areas for future housing.

b The area within five miles of the site had a 1970 population of about 1,850, corresponding to an average density of about 24 persons per square mile.

This population is projected to increase to 2,200 in 1975 (at start of plant construction), to 3,000 in 1980 (at the start of plant operation), and to 6,700 in 2020 (at the end of anticipated plant life), corresponding to average densities of 28, 38, and 85 persons per square mile , respectively.

The projected 2020 population is less than the current population within five miles of many nuclear power plants now licensed (Ref. 2.1-30) .

Detailed prcjections of sector populations by decade to 2020 are listed in Table 2.1-3 and Figure 2.1-4, while 1970 and 2020 sector densities are depicted in Figure 2.1-5. Data presented in these tables and figures are considered to be the most accurate available.

Sector populations for the area within one mile of the plant have not been incitded in Table 2.1-3, or Figure 2.1-4, since all property with-in one mile of the site, except for a small portion of land to the west of State Highway 36, has been acquired by Houston. Lighting & Power Compan". Approximately 50 persons presently reside in the 16 presently occupie, residences on the land purchased by Houston Lighting & Power Company. The nearest presently occupied residence outside of the site boundaries is about 1.5 miles west of the plant site, although there is a small chapel located about one mile west-southwest of the plant site

~~ (see Figure 2.1-2).

Population Between Ten and Fifty Miles 2.1.3.2 Population distributions and densities for sectors up to 50 miles from the site are shown in Figures 2.1-6 and 2.1-7, respectively. These distributions are based on 1970 census data for the population of the county census divisions; in addition, the finer delineations (census tract or enumeration districts) presented in the HGAC population report (Ref. 2.1-9) were used. The population was assumed to be uniformly dis-tributed within each division.

To calculate the 1970 population distribution for each sector within the 50 mile radius, the percentage of each enumeration district or census division within the sector was estimated. This percentage was multiplied by the division (or district) population to obtain the population in the sector. Inis procedure was repeated for all land areas within a sector, and the sum of these computations for each sector yielded its 1970 population.

Projected district populations were taken directly from the HGAC population report (Ref. 2.1-9), except in those counties which are not part of the

>ouston-Calveston area. For these counties (Fayette, Grimes, Jackson, 1

, Lavaca and Washington), all of which are rarel counties with Icw populations

(

\-- ) lying to the west or north of the site, the census survival method

• of pop-ulation projection was used. The small portion of Brazos County which lies within 50 miles was assumed to have a population growth tidway between that of the adjacent counties of Washington and Grimes.

• The basic projection formula employed is the following:

Ph=(Px-10xP[)/Ph-10 where:

Pk.=populationofagegroupx P[=populationofagegroupx in 1980, 1970, Px-10 " Population of age group Ph=populationofagegroup x-10 in 1970, x-10 in 1960.

This formula implies that the combined effects of mortality and migration will remain at about the same level from the 1960-1970 decade to the 1970-1980 decade.

In terms of procedure, for each of the counties and cities, the population of 65-69, 70-74, and 75+ are the age groups

[,_}

N-age groups 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, .. . .

employed. The basic groups are projected forward to 1980 with the formula.

A separate projection is executed for the males, another for the females. Thus, for each county and city, populations for age groups 10 and over in 1980 have been projected. The " child-woman fertility ratio" is then computed according to the ratio in existence in 1970, but the denominator (the number of women between the ages of 15-49) is taken from 1980; the soletion presents the number of children in the 0-4 age group; the " child-woman fertility ratio" is then modified by computing one for the number of children in the 5-9 age group; again, the ratio from 1970 is used, but the denominator (the number of women between the ages of 25-59) is taken from the projected figures for 1980. These computations present the number of children between the ages of 0-9 for 1980; they are, in turn, distributed by sex adcording to the sex ratio of the age group in 1970.

By sunning the sex-specific age groups , a projected population value for the county or city for 1980 is determined.

Taking the 1980 figures as given, projections to 1990 are made in precisely the same manner just discussed. The same applies for the subsequer.t proj ection to 2000,*2010, 2020.

The Allens Creek site cuculative populaticn (within 50 miles of the site) is compared in Figure 2.1-8 with similar nuclear power plants, either in operation or under construction. As shown, the preposed site has a very low cumulative population in comparison with other sites.

2.1.3.3 Low Population Zone The definition of the low population zone, as stated by the AEC in 10 CFR Part 100, is "the area immediately surrounding the exclusion area which contains residents, the total number of density of which are such that there is a reasonable probability that appropriate protective measures could be taken in their behalf in the event of a serious accident."

(Ref. 2.1-31).

The low population zone was selected in accordance with the above criteria and includes the area within three and one-half (3.5) miles of the site as shown on Figure 2.1.2. The total 1970 resident population of the low population zone was 375 persons and the projected 2020 population is 1,600.

There are no significant transient populations in the low population zone at present.

2.1.3.4 Transient Population (3 i

\- / There is no significant shift of population within five miles of the site during the working day, during weekends, or during vacation periods. There are no large employers in Wallis, the only community within five =iles, and the students and teachers in the Wallis School District represent the only noticeable transient population. Enrollment was 386 in the fall of 1972 (Ref. 2.1-27). There are a number of individuals in Wallis and the surrounding area who com=ute to work outside of Austin County, but their numbers are not large enough to cause significant population shifts.

Visitors to Stephen F. Austin State Park, which has had a maximun of 1,810 daily and 438 overnight visitors, comprise the only transient population of regional significance within 10 miles of the site. There were about 180 daily and 85 overnight visitors on an average during 1971 (Ref. 2.1-32).

The approxicately 440 acres of planned recreational areas (see Figure 2.1-2)'

to be located adjacent to the ACNGS cooling lake will draw significant transient populations into the site area. Planned activities will include picnicking .ca: ping, fishing, boating and water skiing. A preliminary estimate of visitation rates indicates that a total of about 50,000 to 75,000 annual use activity days will be provided; this is comparable to present visitation rates at Stephen F. Austin State Park.

A method of esti=ating the peak day recreational activity days for the two site recreation areas is provided by the State's, "Co=prehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, 1965-1970". Section 14 of the " Plan" has ratios in it that allow deduction of the peak activity day from esti=ated annual activity days. Table 2.1-9A shows this deduction.

2.1.3.5 Population Center The population center, or the city closest to the site with a population greater than 25,000 persons (as defined in 10 CFR Part 100), is the Eouston Metropolitan Area, which is centered about 45 miles east of the site, and had a 1970 population of 1.24 million. Low residential areas begin approxi=ately 33 miles east of the site (see Figure 2.1-6) . Residential areas cf Houston are expected to extend to within about 20 niles cf the si:e by 2020 (Ref. 2.1-12); this is reflected in the pcpulagien pr:jectiens for 2020 shown in the east-ncrtheast, east and east-southeast sectors in the 2C- :c 30- ile zones of the populatien wheel (Figure 2.1-6).  :.c pcpulatien cen:er of 25,000 cr greater is projected fer areas within 20 miles cf the site during the life of the plant.

.The vast =ajority cf land within 50 miles of the site is used for agricultural purposes, as shown in Figure 2.1-10, a regional land use map. Although urbanization is progressing at a rapid pace in the Houston Metropolitan Area, agriculture is, and will probably remain, the. predominant land use in the site vicinity.

Esticated 1970 cash receipts from farm marketings for the area within j 50 miles of the site are listed on Table 2.1-7, and indicate the regional

! economic importance of agriculture. The remainder of this section contains a discussion of the land use of the five counties within 10 miles of the site.

Land use data provided by the Soil Conservation Service (Ref. 2.1-41) show that over 94 percent of the land within the five-county area (Austin, Coloraao, Fort Bend, Waller and Wharton) is used fo,r agricul-tural purposes. A breakdown of land uses is shown below:

Rice irriga: ion accoun:s for over 90 percent cf all irrigation in the region.

Inventories of irrigation, presented by the Texas Water Development Leard (Ref. 2.1-42) and shown in Table 2.1-10-for the five-county area, show i that irrigation (and therefore rice production) has increased about 19 percent from 1958 to 1969. This substantial increase has occurred even though the general trend has been away from croplands.

Future land use patterns are projected to vary somewhat from the present pattern. As previously mentioned, the Houston Metropolitan Area is grow-ing rapidly and can be expected to encroach upon areas in Fort Bend and

, Waller Counties, especially those areas along major transportaticn routes.

The present trend toward pasture and rangelands at the expense of cropland and woodland is expected to continue; however, this trend should slow, as much of the more marginal cropland has already reverted to casture, and many of the more desirable woodland areas have already been cleared.

Also, wooded areas are more desirable as possible sites for housing developments, which should preclude additional clearing in areas with a high potential for future development.

2.1.4.2 Vicinity Land Use A

(s Almost all land in the site vicinity is agricultural, and the area is expected to remain predominantly agricultural in the foreseeable

, future; for this reason, the following discussion is primarily concerned with the agricultural aspects of land usage.

Variations in land use within 10 miles of the site are primarily a function of soil capabilities, since other facters (such as rainfall, temperature, relief and length of growing season) are sLnilar.in all areas within 10 miles of the site. The areal extent of the predominant soil associations (Ref. 2.1-42) is shown in Figure 2.1-11. The various associations are briefly described below (Ref. 2.1-40 and 2.1-43) :

Edna Bernard (EB) soils: Texture ranges fro = sandy lcar to clay loac. Slopes are nearly level (0 percent te 1/2 percen slopes). Fertility ranges from Icw te high.

sloping (0 percent to 3 percent slepes). Native vegetation consisted of the tall'and mid-grasses. Most Heckley soils in the site vicinity are presently used for pasture and range.

Katy-Edna (KI) soils: Texture ranges from sandy loam to clay loam. Slopes are nearly level (0 percent to 1 percent slopes). Fertility ranges from low to_ moderate. Native vegetation censisted of the tall and mid-grasses. Much of the KE soil area in the vicinity was formerly used for row-crops, but row-crops have been largely discontinued, as they proved to be only marginally successful due to the low fertility of the KE soils. Most KE soils in the site vicinity are presently-used for pasture and range; howtver, slowly increasing portions of the KE soils are being used for rice-pasture rotations, which is considered to be the optimal land usage.

Katy-Kenny-Fordtram (KKeF) soil: Texture ranges from sandy loam to loamy sand. Slopes range from nearly level to sloping (0 percent to 4 percent slopes). Native vegetation consisted of tall and mid-grasses. Most KKeF soils in the site vicinity are presently used for pasture and range.

Kenny-Hockley (KeH) soils: Texture ranges from loamy sand to sandy loam. Slopes range from nearly level to sloping (0 percent to 4 percent slopes). Native vegetation consisted of tall and mid-grasses. Fertility is low, although KeH soils will respond to good management. KeH soils in the site vicinity are used primarily for pasture and range.

Lake Charles-Bernard (LB) soils: Texture ranges from clay to clay loam. Slopes are nearly level (0 percent to 1 percent slopes). Native vegetation consisted primarily of tall and mid-grasses. Fertility ranges from moderate to high.

LB soils are locally referred to as "blacklands," and are considered to be the best upland soils in the area. L3 soils

, are well-suited to row-crops (primarily cotton, corn and sorghun in the vicinity) and rice, and pastures produce gcod forage. Most LB soils in the site vicinity are used for rou-

! crops, hay and pasture.

Miller-Norwood-Pledger (MSP) soils: T'exture ranges fror clay to silty clay loam. Slopes are nearly level (0 rercent to 1 percent slopes). Native vegeta: ion consisted cf pe:an, ash, pin cak, ele and hackberry trees, and c understtry ef i shrubs, vines and coarse grasses. Fertility ranges free roderate

. to high. The MSP soil association consists entirely ef alluvial soils , and is- locally referred to as "bettomlands." These soils

. ACSCS-PSAR MNP soils aie presently used for rew-creps , hay, pasture, forested

, range and pecan orchards.

Aerial photo interpretation and field checkine in the site vicinity confirm that land use patterns correlate well with soil association areas; most LB and EB soils are used for row-crops, most KE soils are used for rice, pasture or range, mest F. soils are used fer range, and most MNP soils are used for row-crops, pasture, pecan orchards, or forested range. There is a distinct difference between uses of MNP seil areas, however, as the Allens Creek bottomland area (Figure 2.1-11) is used primarily for row-crops, while the area to the east of the Brazos River is used primarily for pasture and pecan orchards.

The major reason for these differences appears to be the preference of landholders found in the two areas. Allens Creek bottomland was primarily held (before purchase of much of the area by Houston Lighting & Power Company) by small landowners whose primary source of income came from farming. By contrast, much of the land to the east of the Brazos River is held by large and/or absentee owners who often find it easier to manage pasture and pecan orchards than to manage cropland.

While the soil map is useful in describing the type of land use and the land capabilities in the site vicinity, a detailed land use map is necessary to show small area land use patterns. In developing a detailed land use map, it is useful to define a number of land use categories which describe the agriculture of the area. The seven categories described below 3

are considered appropriate for the site vicinity. ,

i Cropland -- land presently used for crops other than rice.

The majority of cropland in the site vicinity is used for grow-ing cotton, corn, sorghum and hay.

Riceland -- land presently used for rice production. Some of the land designated as riceland may be in the pasture cycle of a rice-pasture rotation.

Pasture -- grazing lands which are largely free of brush and trees. Some of the pastureland has been used for Erops or rice in the past, and much of it could be converted to cropland or riceland in the future with very little capital outlay. .

Brushy range -- grazing lands with substantial brushy crow ths . Most cf the brushv areas near the site consisf ef huisache and mequite-infested upland range.

Forested range -- grazing lands with light to fairly dense stands of trees. Forested. range near the site consists largely of partially cleared bettenland forests. In many areas, the 2.1-11

ACNCS-PS AR only trees remaining are natural or grafted pecans, which produce additional agricultural income.

Heavily forested range -- lands which show some of the properties of the native bottomland vegetation, which consisted largely of pecan, oak, ash, elm and hackberry trees, with an understory of shrubs, vines and coarse grasses. These areas now exist primarily along creeks and are of severely limited use as grazing lands, but provide excellent wildlife habitat. In most areas, the understory has been largely destroyed due to cattle grazing.

Developed lands -- lands upon which roads or urban develop-ments have been located.

The distribution of land usage for the area within fise miles of the site is presented in Figure 2.1-12. This figure shows that the areas to the north, south and east of the site are largely devoted to cropland, while the' area to the west is used primarily for pasture and rice. Developed areas are limited to the townsite of Wallis, highways and railroads. A breakdown of the land usages shown in Figure 2.1-12 is presented below:

Percentage Approximate Land Use Category of Total Acreage Cropland 32%

16,000 Riceland 6% 1,000 Pasture 41% 21.000 Brushy Range 4% 2,000 Forested Range 5% 2,500 Heavily Forested Range 10% 5,000 Developed Lands 2% 1,000 Totals 100% 50,500 The livestock in the site vicinity consist primarily of beef cattle.

Beef breeds predominating include Angus, Brahman, Charolais, Hereford and various mixed breeds. The only large feedlot operation observed with-in 10 miles of the site is located north of Sealy. A sale barn is aise located north of Sealy. Dairying within 10 miles of the site is limited to one dairy west of Sealy, about seven miles northwest of the plant, where approximately 50 cows were being milked in 1972 (Ref. 2.1-52). Although no other dairy cattle were located during site reconnaissance, it is possible that a very f ew cows are milked for private censumption. Other livestock observed in the area include swine, poultry and sheep. Small nutbers of swine and poultry were observed on a number of farms, but no large producers were in evidence. Sone sheep were observed a few riles i west of the site.

Rural Development Committee data (Ref. 2.1-46). These data were developed for the Allen Creek watershed (which included both the Allens Creek bottomland and Allens Creek upland are~as designated on Figure

, 2.1-11), and are presented below: ,

A few minor changes' are in evidence, however.

The Valley Lodge development, five miles east of the site, has been under construction since 1956. Valley Lodge is a 960-acre development tract located on the floodplain of the Brazos River (Figure 2.1-4). The tract includes a lodge, a golf course, a riding stable and a number of lots.

There were approximately 110 houses constructed or under constructicn in 1972 Approxi .ately 350 residences are expected te be built before 1950, at 2.1 ._. - . ._ ._

ACNCS-PS AR which tima the development should be comple:e. No additional development is planned (Ref. 2.1-28). There were approximately 50 residences in valley Lodge in 1970 (Ref. 2.1-2S), so the 1970 population and projections presented in Section 2.1.3.1 reflect the influences of Valley Lodge.

A few fields used for row-crops to the east of the Brazos River have reverted

, to pasture. This trend should be virtually cotplete, since nearly all betten-land within 10 miles af the site to the east of the Brazos River is presently used for pasture or pecan groves. A few young pecan groves are also located east of the Brazos River, indicating the continued and perhaps gradually increasing importance of pecans in the area.

Acreage used for riceland, to the west and southwest of the site, has re -

mained relatively constant since 1956. However, there is.a potential for conversion of pasture into riceland throughout the level portions of the KE soil area designated on Figure 2.1-11.

The area around Sealy and San Felipe, and along Interstate Highway 10, has been subject to a small degree of development since 1956. This area, located to the north of the site (Figure 2.1-4), is expected to grow substantially in the future, primarily due to the convenient access to Houston provided by Interstate Highway 10.

In summary, land use in the site vicinity is expected to remain largely rural, although a moderate increase in housing density is expected. The areas near Sealy, San Felipe, Wallis, and perhaps near Simonton and Valley Lodge, are the only areas which are expected to lose a distinctly rural aura. -

2.1.4.5 Groundwater Use Groundwater usage in the site vicinity is largely' limited to domestic, irrigation and livestock watering purposes. Viturally all water used within a few miles of the site is drawn from wells tapping the Evange-line Aquifer, s

The only municipal water withdrawal in the vicinity is in Wallis, in amounts on the order of 80 gallons per capita day (gped) (Ref. 2.1-26).

As the population of Wallis is projected to increase from 1,028 in 1970 to 3,000 in 2020 (Ref. 2.1-9), total amount of withdrawal should remain relatively low; even if withdrawal increases to 100 gped by 2020, the total usage will increase only 0.09 to 0.3 million gallons per day (egd)

(or from about 100 to 330 acre-feet per year).

There are numerous domestic wells in the vicinity (see Section 2. ' .13.1),

but total withdrawal is quite low due to the small pcpulations involved.

Since rural domestic water usage in Texas averages about 50 gped (Ref.

2.1-54), and there are only about 850 persons (excluding Wallis residents) 2.1-15 i

. , , . . .-- n

ACNGS-PSAR within five miles of the site, total domestic withdrawal is estimated to be about 0.04 mgd (or about 44 acre-f eet per year) . Using a projected population of nearly 3,700 rural residents (see Figure 2.1-4E) by 2020, and projected rural domestic withdrawals of 60 gped in 2020, tctal with-drawal will increase to only about 0.2 mgd (or about 220 acre-feet per year).

There are also nu=erous livestock wells in the site vicinity (see Section

2. 4.13.1) . Based on an esti= ate of 10,000 animal units (one cow or the equivalent) in the vicinity, and an average daily consumption of eight gpd per animal unit, only 0.08 mgd of water would be required, even if the total livestock consenption came f rom, groundwater sources. This amount of withdrawal is insignificant in comparison with domestic and irrigation needs.

Irrigstion accounts for about 90 percent of the water withdrawal in' the vicinity; riceland, used in rotation with pasture, accounts for nearly all irrigational water used, even though it acc er.cs for only about six percent (3,000 acres) of the area. Estimates of irrigational water use (see Section 2.4.13.1) indicate that about 1,400 acre-feet per year of water is used for irrigation in the vicirity.

2.1.4.6 Surface Water Use Potential surface water users in Texas must obtain permits from the Texas Water Rights Commission to use such water. A summary of the ,

0 1972 listing of applications, claims, and certified filings in the site l

' Q2.47 rcgion is presented in Section 2.4.1.2.l(e) . In general, there is no surf ace water use for any purpose other than irrigation and livestock  :

watering within 20 miles of the site. In the immediate site vicinity, i surface water use is limited to small stock-watering ponds in pasture and range areas. Field checking was performed to confirm the use of surface water in the site vicinity. ,

Beyond 20 miles and out to 50 miles, surface water is predominantly used for irrigation and industrial purposes. Most of the industrial use is concentrated along the Brazos River downstream of the site. The irrigation use is primarily along the Brazos River, but some use is made of other rivers. Surface water is also used for recreational, mining and municipal purposes.

The only surface water source which could be affected by plant effluents is the Brazos River; all downstream users are identified, alcng with associated populations and distance downstream, in Table 2.1-11.

2.1.4.7 Fish Species - Era:es River The potential sources of edible aquatic food in the Bra:cs River are cray-fish, colluses, turtles and fish. No data concerning the population size 2.1-16 Amendment Nc.0 11/13/73

ACNGS-PSAR or utilization of crayfish, molluses or turtles are available. There are presently no commercial fisheries in this area, althcugh there is a small co==ercial fishery over 50 river miles downstream on an off-river reservoir which utilizes Brazos River water.

The fish species likely to be utilized for food are smallmouth buffalo, gar, several species of catfish, and the centrarchid species (sunfish family). A co=plete species list is given in presented in Table 2.1-12.

Data available are not adequate to give a precise estimate of fish productivity (Ref. 2.1-55); however, the Brazos River is not considered to be a highly productive stream by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (Ref . 2.1-56) . An estimate of standing crop bio = ass of 150 pounds per surface acre is a reasonable estimate for the Brazos River and is discussed further in the ACNGS Environ = ental Report (Ref. 2.1-57). For the conservative purposes of calculation of radiation doses, a high estimate of 300 pounds per surface acre may be utilized and the assumption made that this standing crop could be harvested, and would be renewable on a twice-yearly basis.

Utilization of fish by human populations will depend on the particular species and the size of the fish. A conservatively high estimate of the amount of fish available for human consumption would be two-thirds of the biomass of 300 pounds per surface acre, harvested twice yearly, or approximately 400 pounds per surface acre per year.

2.1.4.8 Fish Species - Proposed Cooling Lake The potential sources of edible food in Allens Creek Pond are crayfish, molluscs, turtles and fish.

At present, no population estimates are available for crayfish, molluscs or turtlee. Crayfish and turtles are expected to be more abundant than those in the Brazos on a shoreline mile comparison, but molluscs may be less abundant because of the generally steep sides and riprap al.cng the dam. The cooling lake is anticipated to be used for non-commercial sport or food uses.

The fish species that are expected to be present and consumed by people include the following species from the Brazos River: smallmouth buffalo, gar and several species of catfish and sunfish. In addition, other species of sport fish such as black bass, white bass,'and possibly tilapia =ay be introduced into the cooling lake.

It is anticipated that the cooling lake will be more productive than the Brazos River (Ref. 2.1-57) and that fishing pressure will be greater on the lake than in the river. This may be particularly true during the colder months of the year.

The standing crcp biomass of fish in the lake has been estimated at 200 pounds per surface acre (Ref. 2.1-57). For the conservative purpose.=

. .of calculation of radiation doses, a high estimate cf 400 pounds per surface acre may be utilized and the assd=ptien made that this standing
