Answers to, Interrogatories on Specific Contentions 1(a) - l(a)

My contention is that the ER does not define the extent and impact of chlorine dispersal.

(b)

See f(a)

(c) (d)

I have pointed out that the ER neglects to address a specific effluent and environmental impact of the operation of the Harris plant.

I have made no further allegations and therefore at this point have done no analysis myself.

l(a) - 2(a)

See I A-1(c)(d) above (b)

See 2(a) above (c)

See 2(a) above (d)

See f (a) - (c) (d) above lla) - 3(a) The NPDES permit is for wastewater discharges. My contention deals with vapor effluent.

(b)

See 3(a)

(c)

See 3(a) 1(a) - 4(a)

See 1(a)-(c)(d) above (b)

See 4(a)

(c)

See 4(a) l(a) - S The text of the ER refered to Reference S.3-4-4 by Larson.

lhere was no citation at the end of that section. My point is that this citation is deleted.

l(b) - 1(a)

My contention is that chlororganic compounds dispersed in cooling towers vapor may be toxic to the surrounding biosphere.

(b)

Chlororganic compounds are formed in chlorinated cooling water.

(Jolley, R'.L.', W.W. Pi tts, F.G. Taylor, S.J. Hartmann and G. Jones, Jr. In: Water Chlorination:

Enviromental Impact and Health Effects, Jolley, R.L., H. Corchev, D. H. Hamilton (eds). Proceeding of a conference October 30 - Nov. 4,1977)

o page 3 -

Chlororganic Compounds may be toxic directly, through behavioral effects, and

(

through mutagenesis.

. Jolley, R.L., G. Jones, W.W.Pitts, J.E. Thompson Chlorina-tion of Organics in Cooling Waters and Process Effluents.

In:

Symposium pro-ceedings cited above.)

(c)

See f (a) - 1(c)(d) l(c) - 1(a) My contention is that sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide may be toxic to the surrounding biosphere.

(b) See 1(a) - 1(c)(d)

(c) See (b)

(d) See (b) 1(d) - 1(a) My contention is that "other chemicals" (words from ER) including biocides could be toxic to the biosphere, (b)

See l(a) - l(c)(d)

(c)

See (b)

(d)

See-(b) 1(e)-1 ft did not seem reasonable that'one small creek could replace the water i

lost through cooling tower evaporation for 2-unit operation.

I have done no numerical analysis.

l(e) - 2(a)

It is widely known that the Cape Fear has many industrial waste inputs as well as municipal sewage inputs.

(b)

I have not analyzed the composition of the river.

l(e) - 3(a)

Yes (b)

See 1(e) - I above.

By " dispersed" I meant spread as vapor or aerosol i

in the cooling towers' plume.

i l(e) - 4(a)

I contend that the Cape Fear water, if dispersed, could be toxic to the bio ~ sphere.

(b)

See l(a) - 1(c)(d)

(c)

See (b) i

1(f) - 1(a) As I stoted in the fIrst Prehearing Conference Page i1I my concern is that routine operation of the plant might require more water tnan could be provided by Buckhorn Creek flow. The Reservoir Reanalysis has confirmed that concern.

The point of my contention is that Cape Fear water will be used and that contention 1(e) mus t therefore be addressed.

(b)

See I(e) - I above (c)

See 1(a) 1(f) - 2(a)

I contend that there may be times when Cape Fear River Water may be necessary to prevent unacceptably low water level in the main reservoir.

(b)

See I(e) - 1 above I(f) - 3(a)

No (c)

I clarified my concern in the First Prehearing Conference Page 111.

l(f) - 4(a)

No (c)

I made no mention of the loss of service of cooling towers scenario.

1(f) - 5(a)

No (c)

I made no mention of the Main Reservoir as a back up cooling reservoir.

1(f) - 6(a)

No (c)

It is irrelevant to my contentions.

l(f) - 7(a)

I contend that the method of calculation is not displayed and therefore cannot be evaluated.

l(t) - 0 There is no documentation of the comparison of rainfall in the Buckhorn Creek watershed and the Middle Creek watershed.

The " synthesized" estimate of Buck-horn Creek flow (90 cfs), based on Middle Creek estimates, differed from tne measured flow for the period 1973-1977 (79 cfs).by 12%.

1(f) - 9(a) Their equivalence has not been documented.

(b)

I have not analyzed this question myself.

I(f) - 10 See above only.
