DSAR-2.8 Information Use Page 5 of 8 Demography Rev. 0 2.8 Demography The plant site is located on the alluvial plain of the Missouri River in a predominantly agricultural region roughly ten miles north of the Omaha metropolitan area. The distribution of population around the plant site as of 2010 are shown in EP-FC-1001 Addendum 249 and as of 1980 in Figures 2.8-1 and 2.8-2.
There are no residences within one-half mile of the reactor location. The seven nearest residences are from 3,000 to 4,000 feet distant. These are located generally along Highway 75, the western boundary of the site. There are no schools, hospitals, prisons, or motels/hotels in the immediate vicinity of the site. An industrial park is located north of the plant property. Industries include a large corn processing facility, agricultural fertilizer storage facilities and various other light industrial plants.
The DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge occupies approximately 7,821 acres east of the plant site. This area is open to the public for day use year round. Visitors to the refuge generally use areas from two to five miles from the plant. Estimates by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service place annual usage of the facility at approximately 120,000 for the Visitors Center and 400,000 for the refuge. The expected maximum daily usage of the facility has been placed at 2500 visitors for a Winter weekday and 5000 on a Summer weekend. The Boyer Chute Federal Recreation Area is a day use facility occupying approximately 2000 acres southeast of the plant site. Visitors to the recreation area generally use areas seven to ten miles from the plant. The estimates for annual usage of this facility is approximately 50,000 visitors.
The State of Nebraska operates the Fort Atkinson State Historic Park 5.5 miles southeast of the plant site. This day use facility is mostly seasonal and estimates place annual usage at 60,000. The State of Iowa maintains Wilson Island State Park with 275 camping spaces south of the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge and four miles southeast of the plant site. The estimates for usage of this facility range from 500 on winter weekday to 1000 on a summer weekend.
Two private facilities lie to the north of the plant along the Missouri River. The Cottonwood Cove Marina & RV Resort is located approximately 4.5 miles from the plant. Estimates place summer weekend usage at 200 people. River View Park Resort & Marina is a private campground lying directly to the south of Cottonwood Marina and ranging from 4 to 4.5 miles from the plant. The campground has approximately 235 campsites and is open from April to October.
The nearest municipality is the city of Blair, about three miles northwest, with a population of 7,990 per the 2010 census.
Fort Calhoun is about five miles southeast of the plant site. The 2010 census reported a population of 908 in Fort Calhoun and 167 in Kennard Village, about seven miles from the plant site. The 2010 population of Washington County is 20,234.
Missouri Valley, Iowa, about 11 miles east, has a 2010 population of 2,838 as compared to the 2000 population of 2,982. In St. Johns Township, of which the city is a part, population has steadily decreased.
DSAR-2.8 Information Use Page 6 of 8 Demography Rev. 0 The Omaha metropolitan area includes the cities of Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa, and the adjoining areas of Douglas, Washington, and Sarpy Counties, Nebraska, and Pottawattamie County, Iowa. The area lies 10 to 25 miles southeast of the site, with the main concentration of population beyond the 15-mile radius. Population studies have been undertaken by the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency. Population information is as follows:

DSAR-2.8 Information Use Page 8 of 8 Demography Rev. 0 The U.S. Census data shows an increase in population in the Omaha metropolitan area and in most of the nearby cities but a decrease in the rural and farm population.
While it is probable that the area around the plant site outside of the Omaha metropolitan area will remain largely agricultural and that the population will increase slowly, a general decline of the rural population will continue, reflecting the movement of people into towns and cities. The expansion of the Omaha metropolitan area has been generally south and westward, coinciding with the interstate highway. It is expected that future growth of the metropolitan area will continue south and west and also northwestward. Thus it is probable that the area surrounding the plant site will continue to remain largely agricultural.
Additional information concerning area population and its influence on Emergency Planning can be found in EP-FC-1001 and associated addendums.
