Dear Ms. Adensam:

We have conpleted our review of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) related to the operation of Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2, Midland County, near Midland, Michigan. The Final EIS assesses the impacts associated with the operation of the two pressurized water reactors. Heat generated by the two reactors will produce electric energy, and steam for industrial use. Unit 2 will produce 852 megawatts of electricity while Unit I will produce 505 mega-watts of electricity and process steam. It is estimated that the two units will be ready for fuel loading in December and July of 1983, for Units 1 and 2, respectively.

Our conments concerning the environmental impacts of operating the two reactor units at the Midland Plant were sent to you on April 5,1982. Our connents indicated we had no objections to the operation of the two pressurized water reactors, however, we did request that additional infonnation regarding the design of the cooling water intake structure and releases of radiation fran the two units be provided. The responses in the Final EIS have adequately addressed our concerns. We note from one of your responses that the policy regarding the deconnissioning of conmercial reactors is being formulated. We would appreciate being kept appraised of the formulation of this rule. When the final rule is coupleted, please send us a copy.

We appreciate the opportunity to review this Final EIS.

Sincerely yours, Barbara Taylor ley, Chie Environmental Review Branch (
