Dear Sir:
~
Will~ County is concerned'with the impact the water withdrawal from, and disenge of cooling water into the Kankakee River from the Braidwood Station will have, on.$he proposed Will. County Public Water Supply System planned to be' located downstream of the Braidwood Station. The Will County Development Department is currently conducting the-Will-County Public Water Supply Study., The study considersde Kankakee River a prime source for possible water supply and the costs.to construct
'and operate a system from the river will be identified in the study.
s The impacts of most concern on the proposed water supply' system discussed
~
in the:Decembei 1983 draft Environmental Statement (NUREG-1026) are as follows:
5 t
1... Degradation of water quality from cooling water discharge
.to the river.
9
" 72. ' Long-term human health effects and risks associated with effluents entering the river containing low levels'of radioactive'dischai~ge.
bl. ~ Inadequate volume of river flow downstream to support the water supply system. Specifically, page 5-2, item 5.3.1 of. the statement does not include the Will County Public Water Supply System as a potential downstream water user.
4 Risk of possible contamination of the water supply in the case of power plant malfunction and emergency.
5.
Increased costs to the proposed water system due to mitigating me'asures that may be required to address the effects of the Braidwood Station upstream.
Please consider and incorporate where apnropriate these comments in prepara-tion of the final Environmental Statement.
Sincerely y l
