" Kip sdark Environmental Review' Team Report on l'orthwest Park Windsor, CT" y

Q datec'. December 1980 has been included (See Attachment A.1).

This report des-s

\\

cribet.' the environment of the rearby Northwest Park and contains a decription S

of fMh species in the Rainbow Reservoir, Page 27.

[,

5) The only endangered species listed as residents of Connecticut by the Connec-ticut Department of Environmental Protection Wildlife Unit are:

Mammals:

Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis)

Eastern Cougar (Felis concolor cougar)

, Birds:

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

American Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus anatum)

,~

i Reptiles: Amphibians, Fishes, Snails, Clams, Crustaceans, Insects - None See Attachment A.2 entitled " Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection Wildlife Unit, Threatened and Endangered Wildlife", (1981).

Contact with the Town Park Ranger indicates that none of the above species are known or expected to exist in the vicinity of C-E.

There are no Federal endangered plant species identified as present in the State of Connecticut (per Mr. Les Mehrhoff, Natural Resources Center, State of Connecticut). The state list of rare plant species is, at this point, an advisory list, and carries no legal status.

l A-1 L

6) Attached is a copy of the Connecticut Grouadwater Availability Map (Attach-g mentA.3).

Additional information describing the hydrogeologic structure of the C-E site is contained in the Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin No. 25 (appli-cab'e portions, describing well tests on the C-E site are included, see Attach-mentA.4). Also enclosed is a report on groundwater prepared for the Town of Windsor sanitary landfill (which is directly east of the C-E site.

(See Attach-ment A.5).

This report should provide significant descriptions of the regional groundwater flaw patterns.

Due ts the proximity of the landfill, which handles industrial as well as munici-pal wastes, use of the groundwatec may be limited.

Any further questions should be directed to the U.S. G.S. Water Resources Office in Hartford, CT (203/244-2588).

7) Amaximumpcwerconsumptionrate{heatingand/orcooling)forBuildings5and17 combined is estimated at 1.1 x 10 BTUs/hr.

(Note: This is approximately 76 gallons of #6 fuel oil per hour assuming 1.45 x 105 BTUs/ gallon of fuel oil).

The #6 fuel oil contains a maximum of 0.50% sulphur and 0.20% nitrogen.

The tstal annual fuel consumption for the Windsor site is approximately 30,000 (42 gallon) barrels, which yields an average of 2.09 x 107 BTUs/hr. 7Therefore, when Buildings 5 and 17 are consuming their maximum rate of 1.1 x 10 BTUs/hr (which is <l% of the time) they are approximately 50% of the average site con-Q sumption rate. All calculations are based on maintaining the stack temperature U

greater than 600 F.

8) Combustion Engineering utilizes #6 feel oil to heat and cool the entire Windsor site. As required by the State of Connecticut, 0.5% sulphur cil is used.
9) Figure 3-5 has been included which graphically illustrates the water balance in Buildings 5 and 17 as described in Section 3.1.4 and Table 3-2 Rev.1).
10) The overall efficiency of the sanitary waste treatment plant related to BODS re-moval is 85%.

11)

" Spill Prevention Control" is described in detail for each area at the C-E Windsor site in the " Windsor Site Hazardous Waste Management Plan", dated June 1981. This plan specifically outlines the procedures to be followed for the hazardous chemicals listed in Section 4.1.4.3 and as required by the Resource Conservation and Re-covery Act (RCRA).

?2) All solid wastes generated in the unclad fuel (UO ) handling areas are considered 2

to be radioactive and cannot be released from these areas unless they have been appropriately inspected, surveyed, marked and labeled. These wastes are only considered as solid nonradioactive waste after the inspection and survey has in-d1cated levels below License SNf1-1067 limits for unrestricted release. The wastes generated from other areas cannot contain radioactive materials sirce the only radioactive material in these areas is U09 in zircaloy cladding.

Types and quan-c tities of nonradiological solid waste are listed in Table 4-1, sheets 3 and 4

()

under the following major process steps, " Preparation of Fuel Assembly Companents",

" Fabrication of Fuel Hardware", and " Fuel Bundle Assembly".

As indicated in this table, the solid nonradioactive wastes consist of different types of scrap metal i

A-2

(zircaloy, inconel and stainless) and plastic wrappings. The only other solid nonradioactive waste generated is waste cardboard boxes and packaging materials O

fr= iac-ia9 supplies (aonradioactive).

Ncnradioactive solid waste (i.e., normal trash, etc.) can be picked up by any of the state licensed comercial disposal companies in the area. The C-E Windsor site presently utilizes Sanitary Waste Disposal Incorporated, Hartford, CT.

13) The stock heights, diameter, and velocities for Buildings 5 and 17 are shown in Figure 4-1 A and 4-1B respectively.
14) The average negative pressure maintained inside the unciad fuel processing areas is 0.04" of water.

General Information Due to the proximity of Northwest Park, Attachment A.1 was included. The topography, geology and vegetation of the park land will provide a general description of the un-developed areas on the C-E site. Also, the Town of Windsor's Historic Survey (1981) lists no historic sites in the vicinity of C-E.
