September 8,1980 Mr. Calvin W. Moon Licensing Project Manager Division of Licensing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555
Dear Cal:
Environmental Contentions For Allens Creek Hearings Attached is a sumary list of contentions (Attachment A) for which the Laboratory has agreed to prepare testimony and to defend at the hearing.
Please inspect this list for completeness and inform us as soon as possible if changes are deemed necessary. We plan to transmit to you an initial draft of testimony for each contention by November 3.
We also emphasize that NRC staff, namely Dick Froelich, should have lead responsibility for contentions dealing with analyses of alternative sites and transportation of the reactor pressure vessel (Nos. 3,10 and 11 of Attachment A). The Task Group is prepared to provide irrut to the designated principal author as per your instructions.
Meanwhile, we are reviewing our files to determine if additional information is needed from the applicant or from others to prepare definitive testimony.
So far we have nothing in our files on the Marrack-2(c) contention (No.
4 of Attachment A). Specifically, we need Marrack's responses to our interrogatories (see Attachment B), his disposition (Reference TR, pp 1280-1281), and all other correspondence among Marrack, the Commission and HL&P.
In any event, we hope to have identified all remaining information requests in a couple of weeks.
To facilitate preparation of the subject testimony and to provide you and Steve Schinki with an opportunity to meet the Task Group, we

1 Attachment A Allens Creek Hearings -- Environmental Contentions and ORNL Witnesses Intervener Sumary of Contention Witngss 1.
- TexPIRG2, The smaller cooling lake size and changed F. S. Sanders McCorkle 2; location will render the lake useless as a Griffith 4 viable fishery.
2.
TexPIRG 4 If a cooling lake is approved, it should be F. S. Sanders redesigned (increased in size) to be more of an environmental benefit.
3.
TexPIRG A-1 Waterway barge transportation of reactor NRC* (Froelich, components has not been considered, and Romano, and Bykoski) will result in unacceptable environmental and R. M. Reed impacts.
4.
Marrack 2(c)'
FES and FES Supplement do not properly R. M. Reed consider transmission line impacts to waterfowl.
5.
TexPIRG 5; Consideration of the combustion of solid J. W. Dick Cumings 6 (B) waste as an alternative energy source is inadequate.
6.
TexPIRG 7(D);
Passive solar techniques have not been J. W. Dick Cumings 6(C) considered in assessing energy conservation as an alternative.
7.
TexPIRG A-8 Natural gas is a viable alternative energy J. W. Dick source, and has not been adequately considered.
8.
TexPIRG A-12 Nationwide system interconnection will obviate J. W. Dick the need for additional HL&P generating capacity.

TexPIRG(a, Investment in conservation equipment, self-J..W. Dick b,c) generation, and rate structure are energy conservation measures that have not been adequately considered as alternatives to Allens Creek
- 10. Hinderstein The possibility of a site on the Texas NRC* (Froelich) 5; Bishop 23 Coast using salt water should be explored and ORNL (J. B. Cannon, (c)
S. A. Carnes, R. M. Reed, and F. S. Sanders)
- 11. TexPIRG 1:
The South Texas site is an obviously superior NRC* (Froelich) and Bishop 23(a);
alternative to the Allens Cro "c site.

%M sd INTERROGATORIES FOR MARRACK 2(c) 1.
Provide a map which shows the route of the alternative transmission line "to follow the Brazos River to the south of the site, then east and then north to the O'Brien substation."
2.
Describe land use along the alternative transnission line route.
3.
Describe the types and amounts of floodplain forest that would be affected by the alternative transmission line route.
4.
Describe those areas along the alternative transnission line route that are used by (a) waterfowl and (b) threatened or endangered species.
5.
Provide a map which shows the proposed Allens Creek transnission line corridors and those areas along the corridors where migratary waterfowl will be affected by the transnission lines.
6.
Describe those areas along the proposed transmission line corridors where irpacts to nigratory waterfowl are expected to occur.
7.
Quantify the predicted impacts to migratory waterfewl at each of the described areas, (e.g., fatalities per year), and indicate the amcunt of mitigation that would be provided by the alternative transmission lines.
8.
Provide copies of those documents relied on to predict the impacts to migratory waterfowl. Do these documents refer to the specific areas to be crossed by the proposed transnission lines? If they do not refer to these areas, describe how these documents can be used to predict impacts at these specific areas.
9.
Provide a map which describes the continuous, diurnal nigratory waterfcul
