St. Peter.< burg, Florida 33733 D. R. Muller, ADEP, REP-PBf2 Rdg. File, REP Gentlemen:
REP Files A site visit to the Crystal River Nuclear Unit 3 was made during the week of March 27, 1972, by representatives of our Division of "adio-logical and Environmental Protection (REP) and the Battelle Memorial Ins +1tute - Pacific Northwest Laboratory to review environmental facwrs related to the construction and operation of the plant.
As a result of this visit and our continued review of your plant, additional infonr.ation will be required to complete our review.
Accordingly, please submit by May 1,1972, the infonnation identifisi in the enclosure to this letter.
Your reply should consist of three signed originals and 297 additional copies as a sequentially numbered supplement to your Environmental Report.
l Sincerely, DISTRIBtITION CONT.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INF0f"% TIC!!
E:IVI70T'EtiTAL I" PACT 0.EVIEll 1.
Provide information on rare and endangered birds, mamals, and reptiles and the expected impact en their environnent which might occur at the Crystal River Site.
Provide documentation on the designation of the plant site as an Eagle Sanctuary.
2.
Provide copies of Florida Power Corporation's quarterly Environmental Status Reports.
3.
Provide i,nfomation concerning fish behavior in the discharge canal during the sunner.
Is there a definite avoidance at this tine?
4 Provide a table and figures showing data on the ambient intake tonperature, the estimated tenperatures in the discharoe canal fron Units 1, 2 and 3 under full load operation, and the percent frequency over the year that these temperature conditions will exist.
5.
Table V-3 should be exnanded to include estinate of nunbers and size ranges of the species involved, on a conthly basis. The data should be available for operation of Units 1 and 2 and estimated for operation of Unit 3.
6.
Provide the expected extent and frequency of shutdown of the varicus units.
7.
Provide inforination on the themal effects of entrainment of planktonic organisms through the plants based on the temperature increment and the duration of exposure showing times associated with various stages in the passage from intake screen to Unit 3 dilution with discharge of the fossil fired units.
8.
Provide infomation on the durations of the spawning seasce; for the l
connercially valuable finfish and shellfish in the vicinity of the Crystal River plant.
9.
Provide infomation on plankton drift along the west coast of Florida.
A discussion of this area of interest should include, but not be limited to, density, types, relative importance cf chyto plankton vs. Other oxygen producing organisms in the area, and expected inpact of increased flows, particularly in the intake canal, due to operation of Crystal River Unit 3.

0 14 Discuss the effect on the aT of 15 F for operation of all three units in the event that Units 1 and 2 should be shutdown.
- 15. Could fresh water requirements for operation of a cooling tewer be supplied from a source other than the local aquifer systen?
- 16. Has a hold-up pond in the discharge systen been considered as a means for lialting the tenperature rise in the discharge water?
- 17. Provide information on how FPC will utilize the mathecatical model results in influencing the design of the Unit #3 cooling systen.
- 18. Provide conputational assumptions used in preparation of the thernal field predictions.
- 19. Provide supporting technology in the way of comparisons of nodels and field data used to verify the computational system enployed.
- 20. Provide infomation on the nature of local ocean currents in the vicini.ty of the plant which would affect the shelf water from the shoreline out to 30 miles offshore.
- 21. Provide a table of anticipated chenical releases showinq estinated concentrations in the discharge canal when all units are in operation.
Include, among others, chronates and boron.
