f CPSES Clarification Questions on the Responses and Amendments to the ER

}

Water Quality 1.

Question 62: Please provide copper concentration estimates in Squaw Creek Reservoir (SCR) following the initial release of 32,900,000 grams and the average concentration in SCR when the release is 3,290,000 grams per year. include soluble copper estimates as well as the copper which precipitates out.

We are concerned about the copper toxicity, not only to the fish, but all aquatic organisms in Squaw Creek Reservoir.

2.

Question 64: Using the construction phase records of sanitary sludge removed from the sanitary waste treatment system, please provide an estimate of sludge expected during operation.

Identify where the sludge will be disposed.

3.

Amended Table 3.6-1 lists the chemical consumption of sodium hexa-metaphosphate, polymer, formaldehyde, and powdex resin; please provide source of use.

Identify the chemical composition of powdex resin and polymer.

Aquatic Ecoloqy 4.

In the absence of information on the environmental. impact of CPSES on SCR, impact assessments at De Cordova SES, located on Lake Gran-bury, could be useful in assessing those at CPSES. The final biotic composition of SCR should resemble that of Lake Granbury, plus the game fish recently added by the State Fish and Wildlife Agency.

I

_2 Please provide information on the circulating water in the De Cordova intake structure, especially with respect to intake flow rates and structure of the traveling screens and the information on impingement and entrainment available from annual reports.
