LIMERICK REVISED CONTENTIONS V-14 Contrary.to the FES,-The project will permanently

' destroy the ambiance and -integrity of

a. eligible National l

Historic District (Point Pleasant), by causing a permanent loss 4

of'the natural' hillside' frame, by intrusions of cleared areas, 1-parking lots, transformer pads and possible walls not disclosed

[

to, or considered by, the Advisory Council and not considered by

~

the Corps, including a major impact on the National Historic 7-

.j.

-Landmark (Delaware Canal) included in the District.

Locational a-and functional alternatives to avoid the harm exist.

A g-Basis:

Studie's of the Bucks County Conservancy; 1

Attorney in Del-AWARE v. Baldwin

.,l.

-j (neither the Corps nor the other parties to the Memorandum of Understanding considered or passed upon the hillside); actual scenery (which can be substantially restored if the project is f

dropped).

Regard'ing alternativest see V-16 and see PECo 1979

Assessment and other PECo documents.

V-16 The diversion will, contrary to the DRBC's i

contention adopted by the staff in the FES (Section - 9 and i

i

- Appendix 0), adversely and unacceptably affect salinity levels and' water quality (dissolved oxygen levels) in the Delaware

River, and receiving waters, causing problems with fish, drinking water and other uses, and requiring major construction, and could 4

be reduced or eliminated to avoid that impact.

The FES j

inappropriately 'gave DRBC, not DOI or NRC, the "last word", and failed to reflect NRC's independent judgment.

Basis:

FES Section 9; DOI

letter, July 1983; Interstate Water Management Agreement of 1983 and DRBC staff review of its Recommendations, including che review and staff comment of.the Basinwide Drought Management Plans, (April 1984),

the New Jersey studies pursuant to the Agreement, (Draft, Summer 1984) and'the plans to reactivate Tocks Island show that there is a significant present and projected salinity intrusion caused by l.

low flow and diversions of which Limerick is a significant part.

Oyster bed problems documented by DOI, use of DRBC contentions

!I

'over DOI studies and conclusions not justified or qualified.

l Blue Marsh flows planned to prevent salinity (FES, D-3) will be l'

less. effective than Delaware River flows would be.

(See Merrill Creek EIS).

Tocks Island and Merrill Creek studies show the extent of construction needed.

(See FES appendix O, showing DRBC reliance on future construction.

Gky studies' f or Bucks County I

j (April, June, 1984) show this can be avoided by eliminating or reducing Limerick, or taking water from the Schuylkill (with Jesser impacts).

Cancellation of Unit II is in the public interest, contrary to FES, in that only $700 million spent, and 1

I no need for energy; cancellation will also reduce risks of accident.

Re: receiving waters, see EHB Decision pp26-27,100-02, (6/18/84) regarding impact on receiving waters.
