PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY PUGET SOUND POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY THE WASHINGTON WATER POWER COMPANY WASHINGTON PUBLIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM NUCLEAR PROJECT NO. 3 DOCKET NO. 50-508 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Comission) is censidering l issuanceofanextensiontothelatestconstructioncompletiondatespecified i in Construction Permit No. CPPR-154 issued to Washington Public Power Supply l
I System (applicant or WPPSS) for Nuclear Project No. 3 (WNP-3). The facility is located on the applicant's site in southeastern Grays Harbor County, 1
l Washington, about 26 miles west of Olynpia, Washington, l
Environmental Assessment ,
Identification of Proposed Action: The proposed action would extend the latest construction completion date of Construction Permit No. CPPR-154 to l
July 1, 1999. The proposed action is in response to the applicant's request dated November 2,1984, as modified by letter dated March 10, 1986.
l The Need for the Proposed Action The proposed action is needed because the construction of the facility is not yet fully completed.
Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action: Since the proposed action involves extending the construction permit, radiological inpacts are not affected by this action. There are no radiological impacts associated with 8805190155 a80516 0 PDR ADOCK 050

4 this action. The impacts that are involved are all non-radiological and are associated with continued construction, i Based on the foregoing, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed extension of the construction pernit would have no significant environmental impact.
Alternatives Considered: A possible alternative to the proposed action would be to deny the request. Under this alternative, the applicant would not be able to complete construction of the facility. This would result in denial of
) the benefit of power production. This option would not eliminate the i environnental impacts of construction already incurred.
If construction were halted and not completed, site redress activities would restore some small areas to their natural state. This would be a slight environmental benefit, but much outweighed by the economic losses from denial of use of a facility that is nearly completed. Therefore, this alternative is rejected.
Another alternative is to *.ke no action on the request for extension.
I The censtruction permit would not be deemed to have expired ur.til the 1
1 application has been finally processed (10 CFR 2.109). In effect the construction permit could be in effect as long as no action was taken on a timely application for an extension. To take no action on the applicant's request wculd not be responsive; therefore, this alternative is rejected.

Alternative Use of Resources: This action does not involve the use of resources other than those evaluated in the FES prepared as part of the NRC staff's review of the construction permit application, NUREG-1033, May 1985.
Agencies and Persons Consulted: The NRC staff reviewed the applicant's request and applicable documents referenced therein that support this extension. The NRC did not consult other agencies or persons.

Finding of No Significant impact: The Comission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact gtatement for this action. Based upon the environmental assessment, we conclude that this action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
