Dear Miss Bell:
or
\\
y This is in response to your letter of July 13, 1 rein you requested infomation related to the proposed coal transshipment facility that may be built on property owned by the Port of Kalama near Kalama, Washington, At the present time, there is no infomation related to this proposed facility en the Trojan docket. We are, however, generally infomed of the nature of this proposed project. The infomation we have was gained from discussions with representatives of Portland General Electric Company, the port of Kalama, I
and Pacific Resources, Inc.
We also had an infomal meeting with a representative of the Port of Kalama in April of this year. At that meeting, we were given a brief sumary of the project which we have enclosed for your infomation. We have also enclosed a press clipping from The Daily News (Longview, Washington) for July 28 which describes recent developments in the projett's progress.
<g At the meeting, we discussed and explained the nature of Trojan's exclusion 1
Ma.
area boundary in relation to the proposed location of the project, and the 88 controls for activities within the exclusion area required by 10 CFR Port
(
-o 100. We also discussed emergency planning provisions for evacuation that C$
would need to be considered. No changes to the exclusion area boundary were l
L discussed, although that also is a possibility.
l a@
At this point in time, the project is still at the proposal stage. Numerous 1
!l 4
permits and other arrangements must still be made. Nevertheless, PGE correctly lj a:
understands its obligations to keep us infomed if or when the project is l/
E@z finalized to the extent that its impact, if any, on the operation of Trojan l
can be detemined.
ol~
. As discussed in our letter to you of June 24, the weekly accession lists for Trojan which we are sending your organization will identify any cor-respondence regarding the coal transshipment facility which can then be inspected at the local public document room at the Multnomah County Library.
The problem you have experienced in receiving these weekly lists has been corrected.
Sincerely, Original signed by Robert A. Clark Robert A. Clark Operating Reactors Branch #3 Divisinn of Licensing

SUEiARY OF IIEORMATION OF PORT OF KALAMA COAL PROJECT The Port of Kalama, a municipal corporation 'of the State of Washington, is located in Cowlit: County or the Columbia River.eight' miles South of Longview, Washington.
An elec ed three member commission governs the Port.
The goal of the Port Commission is to encourage capital investment thereby creating employment opportunities. The present,
economic downturn in the forest products industry, upon which the Cowlitz County economy has been dependent, has showrr a need to ' diversify the' industrial base.
~
The Por.: of Kalama has an opportunity to participate in the export of coal to our nations world-Yrading partners.
The Port presently has an agreement with Pacific Resources, Inc., a liawaii corporation, to build a coal transshipment facility.
The estimated cost of the facility is Sixry Million Dollars (S60,000,000)
This long-term cearnitment of land and capital insures economic diversification.
The'information contained in the following pages is a brief summary of the area and proj ect.
The Port will answer any questions or comments.
-<E Y k -sc 1a.< m./ - s A r y LOUIS RASMUSSEN President, Kalama Port Commission

n BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT The project obj ective is the construction of a bulk mineral transshipment. facility on port property near Kalama, Washington *.
The property, designated industrial in the Cowlitz County Comprehensive Plan, is screened from public view.
A loop rail spur served by the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific Railroads will enclose and flood protect 175 of the sites 230 acres.
Storage for bulk mineral products and the associated handling equipment will be contained within the loop rail spur.
Also, within the flood-protected area facilities for handling coal and mineral products will be constructed.
These will consist of one or more rail car dumping facilities and conveyor belt systems for
~ handling coal.
Coal will move from the car dumper via a
conveyor belt to a stacker reclaimer which will
. place the coal on any of approximate 19 eight storage.
piles.
The coal handling area will also include various auxiliary structures, equipment, buildings, and access roads.
~
Two piers will be constructed far encugh from the shore to eliminate the need for substantial dredning yet far' enough from the navigation channel of the. Columbia River to avoid navigation hatards.
The rail route alcng the Columbia River is the most energy efficient way to ship coal from the interior states to deep water.
Unit trains of 100 cars will deliver bulk minerals, principally coal, for shipment to world trading partners.
Each car will carry 100 tons of coal.
Between four and five unit trains will arrive on site per day to meet the rhroughput capacity of 15 million cons per year.
