Draf t Environmental Statement related to the operation of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2
Dear Sir:
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) has completed review of the above statement. At this time the Agency has no comments which would result in changes in the content of the doct..nnt.
The Agency will have a major responsibility for this project in the determination of the effluent limits for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
The use of closed-cycle cooling systems at Perry will most likely be considered as Best Available Technology for the reduction of thermal discharges.
The Agency presently believes that there should not be any need for operational monitoring of the thermal discharge, i.e. a 316(a) demonstration, at this f acili ty.
As stated in the DES, the Perry Nuclear Power Plant will use an off-shore intake to provide make-up water for its closed-cycle cooling systems. An intake of this design generally results in minimal impact to aquatic biota.
However, Ohio EPA is considering requirement of a one-year 316(b) study to verify the extent of the operational impact of the cooling water intake.
All non-radiological monitoring requirements for discharge parameters and the status of 316(a) and 316(b) requirements for the Perry Nuclear Power Plants will be addressed in the NPDES permit. Any questions regarding the NPDES Permit for Perry should be addressed to Mr. Robert E. Phelps, Manager, Industrial Wastewater Section, Division of Wastewater Pollution Control.
Very truly yours
