k The one year delay, primarily caused by the

((

g Calvert Cliffs decisica and AEC regulatory process, .in plant conpletion has already j increased the total capital investment of ,

the unit by approxinetely $14 million. This

{

j capital cost increase vill result in addi-tional revenue requirements to cover fixed l l

charges during the lifetime of the unit, l l

}'

I The additional cost of generatica incurred by the CCD companics. as a direct result of

! delaying the in-service date of the Zimmer Unit from 1975 to 1976 is estimated to be 3

$16.9 million, measured at 1976 cost levels. t

{

This makes the cost to the CCD companies, as )

a result of delays to date, a total of $30.9 million, $14 million of which is additional i

costs to the Zimmer Project and $16.9 million l of which is added operating and other construc-tion costs made necessary by tha delay.

l.

If site activities roguested arc not completed o

during the construction season cf 1972, the in-i service date will be delayed beyond the first quarter of 1977 and the additional costs g resulting from delays vill amount to in excess i

of $2 million a month.

"y Any delay of the in-service date will result in Clermont County, Uashington Township, and the New Richmond Schecl Distric: losing a

& substantial amount of property tax revenues.

I Presently the unemployment late in Clermont County is 14.5 0. The construction schedule indicates that over 1200 craft cnployees will be required during the peak of ccnctructirn.

Man;. of the craf t empicyees will be from .o Clermont County area.
