Dear Mr. Nathanson:

As I indicatec in our phone conversation, the announcement by the utilities in 1974 that the Rudolph area was under consideration as a possible site for an atomic-fueled electrical generating facility led to a number of both pro and con activities in the area. Pro activities included pr.ssing resolu-tions favoring the project by the aren Chamber of Commerce, the Wood County board, and the Town of Rudolph. The Town of Rudolph later res-cinded its resolution under political pressure from the local antinuclear organization LAND (League Against Nuclear Danger). The Chamber of Commerce and the county board resolutions have been sustained a few times against similar political pressure by LAND. They remain active and seem to me to follow the party line of all the antinuclear groups around the world.

Other pro activities included the establishment of SAFE (Secure Adequate Future Energy), an organization of labor, business, agriculture, and professional individuals in support of economic and business development and adequs.te energy availability. Over 100 people attended SAFE's organizational meeting in June of 1974. SAFE was organized as a non-profit organization and is supported by dues from its members. Significant projects by SAFE in 1974 included door-to-door survey on July 11-15, 1974, in the Rudolph area which showed a majority for the project and a town hall meeting on October 17, 1974, in Rudolph to air the issues. The meeting featured a panel of experts who answered questions from the floor and one of our local judges as moderator. It was well received. Early in January,1975, SAFE initiated an effort to create a statewide coalition that led to the organization on June 16, 1975, of the Wisconsin Energy Coalition. SAFE later joined WEC as one of its dues-paying members.

The objectives of WEC are similar to those of SAFE. I have attached a number of items that will serve to summarize the main points.

Since 1975 the scene of the action has been in other areas of the state, including the state capital, so Wood County has been relatively quiet.

Should the utilities decide to return to Wood County with plans to build, O f6 QjC

Mr. Michael Nathanson Argonne National Laboratories Page 2 August 2,1979 it's my guess the situation would be the same as before; i. e. , an active, very mile. ant minority blocking action in the courts.

Good luck with your study.

Very truly yours, T. O. Norris, Member SAFE Executive Committee TON:SN i

LET'S ALL TURN OUT AT THE LABOR TEMPLE, 7:30 P.M., MONDAY, JUNE 17 Friends:

Our org'anizational meeting is Monday at the Labor Temple, 7:30 P.M. Please be there. Bring a friend, if you will, who is interested in telling the true story-of Central Wisconsin future energy needs and how we can best guarantee safe energy for our future.

A slate of officers will be submitted. A name for our organization will b- chosen. " People for Safe Energy" was proposed June 6th, uut no final decision made.

I believe our group of labor, management, business, education people and interested citizens can do a service to Portage and Wood Counties. We can see that the many legitimate questions of energy needs and power supply here are factually answered.

And, if a Central Wisconsin nuclear energy plant is the best answer for our needs, we can let the world know that such a power source is welcome.

See you Monday, 7:30 -

June 17 Organizational Meeting - People For Safe Energy Lacor Temple - 7 : 30 P.M.

A Possible Program:

Open: Welcome by Temporary Chairman, Lloyd Mitchell I. Why We're Here:

A) The Winter Energy Crunch scared us all. Don't want any 2 day weeks like paper industry had out East this

• winter.

B) Took it for granted if Wood County was best site for Nuclear Energy Plant, it would be built herg .

C. Now realize we let a small, but loud, emotional leader-ship group represent us in their shrill opposition to the plant. Group is led by many of the same unreasonable environmentalists who wanted to close the paper mills and turn the Tomorrow River into a hatchery for carp and other rough fish. We here in Wood County don't u n w a ,.Y A.f f g-tf ,ih

_vilmum e.vfmsev_. cit-need U'; S L- . _ 7- ...;--

ting w. -.. a c'r-o M itier^4 E irac 'riti c mbe telling us how we don' t need a local energy source for our factorics and our homes.

D? ~Now, it appears because of this emotional opposition to the Rudolph Energy Plant, we may lose it to South-eastern Wisconsin, where they really want the plant and are asking the utilities to build there, rather than telling them to go away as a small group here has done. . , ,

\

it / G t, . \ I$

E. So, we're here to organize.our own citizen. group which .

can do two things....

1) See that honest, factual answers are given by learned sources to the legitimate questions being asked of this energy plant.

2) And, if a Central Wisconsin nuclear energy plant is the best answer flor our future needs here, then

- our group has got to tell the people about it and let the utilities, politicians and news media know that such an energy source is welcome here.

II. What Has Been Done:

A. Labor decided enough is enough. Last Monday we invited a group of about 40 to meet with us. We wondered why management at the paper companies, Sentry Insurance, the University had been so quiet. We found great support for our own belief that the majority of business-industry-labor here is not opposed to an. energy plant. .

.B. The group decided to organize, then go out and work toward getting the guaranteed energy we need...and to assuring ourselves it would be a safe source of energy.

Here we are tonight.

III. Any Questions So Far? Discussion?

~

(We will not, of course, be trapped into any emotional dis-cussions about nuclear energy. This meeting is for those either uncommitted on the issue and seeking answers from experts, or those totally committed to getting a future source of local power right at our doorstep.)

J. H. McLean Release 9:00 AM CDT 414 - 273-1234 June 26, 1974 Wisconsin Rapids: Representatives of four Wisconsin Utility Companies, who announced the building of a nuclear plant in Jefferson County Monday, predicted here today that selection of a site for a similar plant at the Town of Rudolph in Wood County, Town of Haven in Sheboygan County or Town of Glen Haven in Grant County would be made not later than Spring, 1975.

Paul Ziemer, president of Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, told a group of Wood and Portage County leaders that the morning meeting was not a consolation breakfast. "Those of you who have been actively trying to bring a new source of energy to Central Wisconsin should not give up," he advised.

Ziemer complimented the Wood / Portage County labor, business and university leadership who recently organized a group directed toward

" rational, scholarly dialogue about Wisconsin's future energy needs and the best ways to meet those needs.

"Your group may well be a prototype for concerned citizen groups everywhere interested in factual, unemotional discussions about nuclear energy, rather than permitting the dialogue to reduce itself to shouting, superstition and fear," Ziemer added.

"We have asked you here to discuss our present plans and to keep you informed of our future plans," he continued.

Q\gI oi6

, o .

Wisconsin Electric Power Company Add 1 Sol Burstein, exequtive vice president of Wisconsin Electric Power Company, which is acting as agent for the four utilities, said that the Jefferson County site gave the best chance of getting the first unit into operation in time for the summer of 1981.

Or the sites evaluated, Jefferson is closest to the highly populated and industrialized southeastern and south central parts of the State, he added.

Buratein explained, however, that only two 900 megawatt units will be placed ct Jefferson. The des'.gn there is conceived as a standardized two-unit plant. "The same design can be located on any of the sites we have been' studying," he said. This standard design has been filed with the Atomic Energy Commission for construction permits. Tile application can cover the same design built at any of the other locations.

"We will have to decide -- and not later than next spring -- where we will locate the next nuclear plant. That plant is scheduled for operation in 1984-1985," Burstein said.

He noted that one of the advantages of the site in the Town of Rudolph is the underlying rock formations which provide the best nuclear plant foundation. "In analyzing the several hundred borings, however, we discovered a discontinuity in the rock which required further study.

We had to know precisely what was there," he explained.

Burstein said that three different teams of geologists examined the site independently. The geologists report no movement of the rock structure within the past several hundred thousand years. The report o/6 020

,- Wisconsin Electric Power Company Add 2 states that there probably has been no movement since the rock was formed originally more than 200 million years ago.

" Testing, analyzing and cataloging of core samples will require another three months. A delay we could not accept in our need to get power to people by 1981. The Jefferson site permits us to file our environmental impact statement three months earlier," he added.

Burstein stated that the proximity to the industrialized southeast part of the state would be less of a factor when the second plant site is selected.

He said that out of the 80 sites originally considered for nuclear development, five received an intensive two-year study. The five are Town of Rudolph, Wood County; Town of Haven, Sheboygan County; Town of Gler Haven, Grant County; Town of Paris, Kenosha County; Town of Kcshkonong, Jefferson County.

The site in the Town of Paris was effectively ruled out when Wisconsin Electric announced last week that a coal-burning plant would be built nearby. Also last week, three of the four public utilities announced that they were considering the site in Grant County for a coal-burning plant.

"That leaves Haven in Sheboygan County and Rudolph in Wood County as the prime sites for the next nuclear plant," Burstein said.

The Haven site is ideally situated on Lake Michigan. He said it would be less expensive to build there if 1ake water could be used for cooling. The cost of cooling towers could be saved. " Lake water cooling c76 02i

Wisconsin Electric Power Company Add 3 would also result in a more efficient plant," he added.

"But criteria on the use of Lake Michigan water for cooling are still indefinite. "We can't design a plant when we don't know the rules," he said.

Burstein added that the Haven site would also require more excavation than the one at Rudolph, possibly adding a year to the construction schedule.

He said that work on environmental impact statements is underway for both the Haven and Rudolph sites. He expects the environmental study to be completed by about October of this year.

Possible Remarks - Tom Fogarty, SAFE Chairman, January 9, 1975 before the AFL-CIO Central Labor Council Open. .ntroduce yourself - with the union identification and as SAFE Chairman Introduce - Terry Norris, Monica, Hal Holtz, Max Andre, Ken Willett, Leo Wergin, Rita Bemke, Bill Cownie and John Koutre. These are the Executive Committee of SAFE - a group representing Industry, Business, Chamber of Commerce, Industri al Development, UW - Stevens Point 'in Wooc and Portage Counties.

WHY SAFE? Secure Adequate Future Energy was formed.in self defense. The Wisconsin utilities had indicated they might build a large nuclear energy power plant at Rudolph, Wisconsin. Anti-energy forces in Central Wisconsin had organized an intensive campaign against the plant, in fact against any new energy plants. We were aware of the planned industrial growth of Central Wisccasin's major industries, and that the energy supply would have to be enlarged to facilitate that growth.

The anti-energy forces, led by emotional environ-mentalists at UW-Stevens Point, had created the local attitude that everyone was against any building of energy plants. Their arguments were short on facts, long on emotion. Especially fear tactics were being used to frighten local people. They were

. ') $

~

being told many untruths, one of which was that a nuclear plant would kill people in the area.

We believed another force for sanity and reason was needed. Labor took the leadership to create SAFE to do just that.

SAFE'S ACTIVITIES

- Over 100 at first organizational meeting in Wisconsin Rapids in June.

- The Town of Rudolph Door-to-Door Survey in July Report.

- The Town Hall Meeting in Rudolph with experts addressing themselves to the Survey questions - 175 attending.

- Dick Fairbanks from Mel Laird's Energy Task Force.

- Dr. Long - Ur.iversity of New Mexico

- John McLean, the utilities

- Other Activities - Lobbying County Boards; Speakers at clubs, Labor resolutions.

WHERE Ff ."tRE : We have come to realize the battle is not whether or not an energy plant is built in Rduolph - or Koshkonong - or anyplace else. The issue is really jobs in Wisconsin and this ; tate's continued economic development.

An energy crisis exists today - right now - in Wi.sconsin because the energy plants we need in the early 1980's must be started building now.

And, the anti-energy forces statewide have de-clared war - a war they are winning - to prevent O 'l 6 02b

i s those plants being built.

And, that's why we've asked to speak with you.

Wisconsin is at an economic crossrcads. Dr.

Terry Norris will tell you something about it.

"This winter SAFE was invited by both the AFL-CIO and the Wisconsin Manuracturers' Association to explain how labor, business and university forces in CentraA Wisconsin.had joined to present counter arguments to the anti-business growth forces."

Dr. Norris said.

The result of these sessions was the " Statewide SAFE" announced laat werk which the local organization will now work with in developing an action program, according to Norris.

';2he SAFE executive committee met this week at the Mead Inn here to hear Dr. Norris's report. In approving the move to unify with the statewide energy group the SAFE group ndopted a statement of purlase which stated, in part:

"The issue is no longer whether Rudolph or Koshkonong or any other state areas will see new atomic or coal fired energy plants built.

"The real issue now is future jobs in Wiscosnin and whether anti business-labor growth forces will be permitted through legis'ation and public opinion. pressures to plateau the state's economic growth. This would do great harm to our university and vocaticnal school systems, to our state environmental protection programs and to all the other state services pcwered by the taxes that economic growth generatas."

Tom Fogarty, Wisconsin Rapids, SAFE's Chairman, said that the imm)diate goal will be " defeat of the five-year nuclear moratorium bill now before the legislature and three other pieces of legislation which, if passed, will practically prohibit building new electrical energy plants in the state."

[2

"To be in operation by the early '80's a coal or atomic plant must be under construction now," Fogarty said. "Any more delay for these plants now can only result in a desperate energy shortage then, a signal to Wisconsin industry that it should pian plant expansion elsewhere."

The July 9 SAFE meeting is planned for 7:30 P.M. The public is invited to attend, Fogarty said.

.9d ]b _ IU _a LAUD, L3AGU3 AGAI:IST UUCL3AR DANGERS, IUC., is concerned about low-level ionising radiation. It can affect humans, animals, plants and the whole living cycle.

1945 and the testing of atomic bombs.and dropping of bombs en Hiroshima and Nagasaki began a period of vast amounts of canmade radiation being released to the environment with uhich life had no previous contact. The process of radio-activity seeping and creeping into the food chains and the air we breathe began.

There is no safe level of radioactivity. A cell killed by radiation will ba discarded, but a cell vounded can go on to cause cancer, leukemia, life shortoning and make us more susceptible to diseases, and genetic damage."

We have been assured by governmental bodies at t others promotin; nuclear power that we shculd not norry i 2r the little amounts of radioactivity. Assurances were also given to natives who lived on Rongelap and Utirik atolls in 1954 cnd nou some k0 islanders have undergone surgery for cancer-and potentially cancerous nodules. Bikini Islanders were told 9 years ago that Bikini was safe for reoccupation, and within 6 years they began to show higher than normal amounts of strontium, cesin and plutonium in their bodies from food grown in contaminated soil -- so the natives vare again moved off in 1978. "The government's cover-up and the government's ability to control expert vitnesses prohibited us from establish-ing that radioactivity uns the cause of the deaths" said 9b

Page 2 - Argonne attorney Dan S. Bushnell who is representing sheep ranchers who lost 4200 sheep in 1953 The atom bombs that struck Hiroshima and Nagasaki are taking a toll among US servicemen who helped clean up the destroyed cities, but the VA maintains that GIs stationed there received " negligible" radiation. Federal health officials had evidence as early as 1965 that excessive leukemia deaths were occurring among Utah residents exposed to radioactive fallout from US atomic bomb tests. A public health official has charged that an atomic bomb factory, Rocky Flats, has caused 500 cases of cancer in the Denver metropolitan area by polluting the air and soil with deadly radioactive plutonium.

Radioactivity is present in our milk, and thus other foods, continually in Uisconsin since the State Health Department started keeping records of it in 1963 Reactors and other nuclear facilities routinely give off low levels of radiation, and they also have accidental releases.

At Three Mile Island for 30 days during the fall of 1979 there will be planned releases.

Radioactivit'/ can reconcentrate in the food chain. In some cases the radioactive s.aterials are similar to natural materials a body needs, and the body cannot teil the difference. Radioactive strontiin 90 is similar to ct.lcium, radioactive cesiun 137 is similar to potassium and radioactive iodine 131 is like regular iodine. If the body needs calcium anr* radioactive strontiun 90 is present, it can absorb the strontiun 90 and build it into the bones or teeth.

The LM D/LIAF. 3esearch Team has found during the period 1963-1976 that the growing child abscrbed about tuice as much radioactivity as an adult in Wisconsin from their diet.

l year, and that included the cost of scrubbers.48 He said the I typical nuclear plant today costs $1050 per kilowatt, while the typical coal plant cost is $675 per kilowatt or about a $$$

difference.4"" He estimates the typical nuclear plants finished after 1985 will cost J2,000 per kilowatt, compared with 31,000 48 per kilowatt for a typical ccal plant -- or a 100% difference.

their rate base is much greater and they can nake a larger profit.

A typical reactor core consists of about 200 fuel assemblies 68 totaling 50,000 fuel rods. After the first several years of operating, about 1/3 of these are pulled annually. About 32 metric tons of spent fuel are removed' each year from a reec tor during refueling.

The findings p j show that radioactive vaste containers would heat salt, the salt would then expand and move upuard around the containers and eventually the containhrs vould plumnet through the salt "like lead into water," and no longer be protected.

Fresh studies have also found that salt invariably contains tiny traces of unter that combine with impurities like calcium and magnesium chloride in the salt to form a corrosive liquid that cats through stainless steel in a matter of veeks. O "76 045

In any event, it would be at least 1988 to 1995 before 81 any burial of high-level vaste could take place.

Although the government originally promised to allow states a veto of nuclear waste sites, that option seems to have been taken away. 2Ven in New Mexico where many people are on the government payroll and cay be afraid to speak out because o' their jobs, there is a movenent opposing nuclear waste storage.

With u anium supplies unknown in the long run, fast breeder reactors have been proposed. They are suppose to make enough fuel to supply other reactors. The Clinch River Breeder reactor that is proposed would have a doubling time of more than 20 years o

to make enough fuel to fuel another light water reactor.'h A fast braeder would have 1 to 3 tons of plutoniun in its d core when it only takes 4 to 159 to make a bomb. It would Q G use liquid sodiuu for coolant which is explosive on contact b %

dith air or rater. Fast breeder are said to be inherently bb more dan:;crcus than light water reactors. g;aa

~

The Fast Flux T3st Facility is a sort of prototype for a @

fast breeder. Annual operatin; costs are 350-70 million, and 76 049

Page 20 - Argonne although in 1969 its cost was estimated at $87 million, that 94 has now risen to 0647 million. Another taxpayer cost of nuclear pouer.

Plutonium is one of the most toxic things known to man.

One milligram ever so much smaller than a pinhead would cause you to be dead of massive fibrosis of the lungs within hours.

If you were to inhale one thousandth of that amount, one microgram, there is a good chance that you would eventually get lung cancer. The smallest amount from which a bomb can be made is 4 y's. To make a Hiroshima-sise bomb would take about 17#s.9 The floating nuclear plant idea seems to have fiszled for the time being as the orders for 8 have not materialised.

Dismantling, entombing or mothballing nuclear plants aftar their 30-year lives vill be costly in money and could be costly in vorker health. Costs of dismantling range from 331 million to G100 million if the job were done today.

Several isotopes like Nickel 59 are captured by the reactor's stainless steel parts and vill take $O0,000 years to decay to safe levels. Workers may have to take parts of the structure apart under water to protect themselvas from radioactivity.

Even the crane used to dismantle a reactor becomes nuclear vaste. Some argue to wait 100 years before trying to dismantle a reactor.

A Consumers Pouer plan to charge ratepayers nearly G1 billion over the next 28 years for the cost of dismantling Big Rock in 2000 and Palisades in 2007, has stirred a controversy that could affect nuclear pcuer's future in Michigan.98 p

situation.'9 Hospitals vould not be equipped to take care of hundreds of accident victims. The 1965 Price-Anderson study estimated 45,000 deaths and 100,000 injuries. State o'.'ficials responsible for Indian Point's evacuation planning say they could not evacuate even if there was an accident. ,

Sites uith one reactor are prime targets for additional units because of the difficulty in siting reactors due to public opposition. Iluclear energy parks with 9 or 10 plants l

i on one site are being studied by the Federal government.100 A South Carolina project would contain 12 reactors generating M li more than 14,000 131 sf electricity near Lake Hartuell on the M c&,  ;-,

Georgia border.

100 The other site is ct Green River in Q C>~5 eastern Utah.100 The largest existing facility puts out R (26 100

@c 3,200 IEl at Decatur, Alabama. Thus a site, like Rudolph, uhich is known as an alternative site could someday be con-sidered for an energy park as the study talked of "For some o ther use. "

I!uclear workers are at special risk. At levels of exposure the Governnent has considered safe has caused a $$

101 increase in cancer of workers at Hanford, '.!ashington. IGO statistics shou that although the average exposure per individual has fallen from 1100 millirems to 300 millirens per year over the period 196$ to 1975, the avera;e number of p?rsonnel receiving a measurable dose increased from 141 to 102 573 per reactor.

that they can give rise to large volunas of vaste that arc O i --

The residue uhen evaporated and mixed with cenent, will fill 600 to 890 55-gallon drums.

Health problets associated with transmission lines are still being debated. Costs of the lines and farmland taken out of productivity need to be considered as nuclear plants built in heavily populated areas could support co-generation and not require the land use or the extra expense of new lines to carry th2 load.

Job Service 618 - 6th Street Racine, WI 53403 August 2nd, 1979 5b Argonne National Laboratory 9700 S. Cass Avenue Argonne, IL 60439

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

I am responding to your inquiries as listed in your letter dated July 18th,1979.

1. The availability of a suitable labor force in your area for such a plant.

The civilien labor force annual averages have increased from 1960 to 1978. The labor force in 1960 was 52,000, 66,500 in 1970 and estimates for 1977 and 1978 were 85,500 and 88,900, respectively. See the attached labor force information.

Two public high schools are planning to build additional educational facilities for industrial arts classes to increase the number of skilled workers and prepare more people for the trades occupations. This building proposal will go before Racine voters in the fnrm of a referendum.

2. The number and kind of workers you believe would be connuting from home and the number who would relocate in the area.

I believe about 5 to 10 percent of the labor force would connute from their homes, given the incentives. Relocation into the area is hard to determine. No figures are available on relocation patterns. Publicity steming from Three Mile Island and oil prices will be factors to consider when relocating. In my opinion, the kind of workers who would normally consnute or relocate are professional, managerial and technical personnel.

3. Where will the primary labor market draw from?

Paris, WI is located in Kenosha Co. and Kenosha Co. is considered the local labor market. The plant will probably draw workers from within a 30 or 40 mile radius.

4. Is the project feasible from a labor availability viewpoint or will other businesses be adversely affected?

Yes, the project is feasible from a labor availability viewpoint. I do not feel other businesses will be adversely affected.

5. What is the labor market in your trea like as regards to skilled and unskilled workers and unemployment rates?

Skilled workers are always at a premium and Racine is currently experiencing a shortage of skilled personnel. Unskilled workers make up the largest number of unemployed people. Our applicant file indicated 29 percent are unskilled. The current unemployment rate is 3.8 percent. 3,500 people are currently unemployed.

o 7. 6 060

6. Any other information which you feel we should take into account in our analysis.

No.

Dear Mr. Brandel:

Wisconsin Utilities may at a future unspecified time apply to NRC for a license to put up a nuclear power plant near Paris, Wisconsin, and we are interested in a number of matters which could influence the NRC decision.

The construction period would last nine years and peak employment would be 2200 workers - 1800 manual and 400 skilled.

Could you please tell me:

1. The availability of a suitable labor force in your area for such a plant.

2. The number and kind of workers you believe would be c;mmuting from home and the number who would relocate in the area.

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

I have been able to obtain a few facts for you concerning the construction of the power plant at Lansing, Iowa. I spoke to Mr. Michael Chase, Production Department of the Interstate Power Company in Dubuque. Mr. Chase said that the Lansing plant took four years to complete (1973-77).

Fegles-Power Service Corporation out of Minneapolis was responsible for the project. Employment ranged from 180 to more than 700. The construction company brought along their own supervisory personnel, but recruited most of the other workers from the local area. Some of the electricians caue from Dubuque. A large number of workers commuted from Lacrosse, Wisconsin.

Mr. Chase does not recall any difficulty experienced in recruiting the unusually large number of workers that were needed for the project.

Overtice may have been an incentive, since the project started one ur late with no changes made in the scheduled completicn date.

My conversation with Mr. Chase 'eads me to believe that a similar project could be undertakan in the Glen Haven, Wisconsin area. Skilled labor could probably be recruited from the larger cities such as Dubuque, Lacrosse, and Madison.

Dubuque Job Service currently has 22i applicants on file who are occu-pationally coded in the construction trades. See the breakdown provided on the attachment.

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

It is my opinion that the actual building of the proposed nuclear power plant at Haven, WI would not have an adverse impact on the con-struction industry in the Manitowoc-Sheboygan Lakeshore area.

Haven is located between Manitowoc and Sheboygan, and the project would attract skilled construction workers from both areas. Although these two areas may not be able to supply the full number of approximately 400 skilled workers needed, Haven is commuting distance to four other large cities that should have sufficient numbers of skilled workers to fill any shortages. Milwaukee to the south, Green Bay to the north, and Fon du lac and the Fox Cities to the west are all within an hour to.an hour and one half driving distance of Haven. Workers employed at the proposed project from these four cities could either conmute daily, or live near the site during the weekdays and commute home weekends.

Also, in my opinion, the existence of such a large project as a nuclear power plant would not impede the completion of any other con-current local construction projects.

Sincerely, f f y gsg 0 Thomas A. Kuchenbecker Job Placement Supervisor Manitowoc Job Service O'

934 Michigan Avenue j P.O. Box 848 Sheboygan, WI 53081 August 21, 1979 Mr. Michael Nathanson Argonne National Laboratory Building Number 10 Argonne, Illinois 60439

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

This letter is in response to your request for labor force information for the most recent few years for Sheboygan County and immediate adjoining area which is within a commuting distance. In considering a reasonable commuting distance consideration has ;o be given to current highways and the fact that Interstate 43 is complete south of Sheboygan. We believe up to 45 miles is reasonable that direction, but only about 30 miles west and north due to poorer roads. However, some sections of I-43 are completed and in use between Sheboygan and Green Bay and additional sections are under construction or planned for the next few years, so commuting distance from the north will be extended in the future.

This commoting area includes Two Rivers, Manitowoc and Reedsville on the north; New Holstein and all Sheboygan County on the west; West Bend on the southwest and south to about Milwaukee County line. The total population for this area is about 270,000 and an average civilian labor force of about 140,000. Included in these totals is the 100,900 population and 54,900 civilian labor force in Sheboygan County.

The average unemployment rates for the whole area were 3.6% for 1977, 3.8% for 1978, and 3.3% for the first six months of 1979, with Sheboygan County slightly less than the entire area for each of the periods listed.

We believe there will be a sufficient work force available to meet the employment needs you outlined to me, provided the wages would be attractive enough to give an incentive to commute to the Haven work site after considering rising trans-portation costs. This is particularly true for the manual untkilled positions.

It will be more difficult to recruit skilled craftspeople in sufficient numbers from within this area, but experience has shown that any major construction project of any great duration will draw skilled workers from out of the area.

A project of the size and duration you described to me certainly would have some effect on area business and industry. It would have the greatest effect on the low paying, entry level manual labor force worker and those employers whc use these workers. Any such effect on the individual communities in the area would be beneficial overall and would result in an improved economy for the entire area.

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

The following is information you requested concerning an interest in the Central Wisconsin labor market area:

The 2200 construction workers, consisting of 1800 =anual laborers and 400 skilled workers, would consist of all union construction workers which are avaihble in Central Wisconsin. The skilled and supplemen-tary personnel could be normally drawn as needed from the adjoining area and stater, through usual union hiring pro mdures. The 150 per-manent local workers should pose no problem upon construction of the facility.

As far as housing is concerned, the 150 "outside" specialists would find a buyers market in Central Wisconsin. Both rentals and houses are available for sale in all price n nges.

As you can imagine, because of the nature of the facility currently under consideration (i.e. public opir. ion, etc., etc.) no guarantee can be made that a labor source would be readily available.

Yours truly, I i  ?

Dear Mr. Nathason:

This letter is in response to our telephone conversation on July 19, 1979, regarding the available labor force in the Lake Koshkonong area in Wisconsin. As I mentioned to you, I am currently the District Job Service Director of both the Watertown District and the GROW (Janesville) District. Lake Koshkonong is located within the Watertown District while Janesville is in: mediate adjacent to the Watertown District.

I do not anticipate any shortage of construction labor during the fourth and fifth year of construction. I firmly believe the construction unions will fully cooperate as the construction workers are union affiliated.

Within a 50 mile radius of Lake Koshkonong there is an estimated population of approximately 2.6 million people and an estimated labor force of 1.4 million. The 50 mile radius, or up to one hour travel time, is considered to be the norm for construction workers in this area. Please note attachment "A" which lists the estimated population and estimated labor force, and "B" which is a map of the area. Also attached is the 1979 Rock County Area (Janesville/Beloit) Annual Planning Information.

If there is any further information you may need, feel free to contact us.

Dear Mr. Mathanson:

The Wausau District Job Service Office covers Marathon and Lincoln Counties.

The statistics that are enclosed are basically for that area.

The chart showing the applicants available and job openings may give you some indication of the activity and the labor force in our area. These figures are total accumulative figures from October 1978 through June of 1979. The table showing structural applicants available for this same period of time are indi-viduals who have registered with our office and were available at some time during that 9 a.onth period.

As I mentioned in our telephone conversation, the Weston power plant, which is located just to the south of Wausau, is in the process of expanding their facili-ties. This Wisconsin Public Service Corporation facility is expanding their coal generating capacity. For the past year they have been in the process of building a generating plant that will utilize western coal. At present, they are averaging approximately 200 employees on this construction site. They have been mainly utilizing local labor thus far. However, within a year, they expect their peak employment to rise to approximately 450 workers. They have indicated to me that they have had no problem in finding qualified workers for their job. Even the truck strike which we experienced recently did not delay their project at all. They plan on testing their new plant in December of 1981, and they plan on going operational in 1982.

I hope this information is useful to you. If you have any questions per-taining this information, or need any additional information, please let me know.

Dear 'tr. Mathanson:

Enclosed are informational materials about the Lancaster Labor

'farket Area. Ve have included several copies of the Enclovnent P.eview for Southwest 91sconsin. One is the February report civinn January 1979 statistics, and the other is the most current report with '!ay 1979 statistics. Both have been included so you night connare the differences during periods of high unemplovment and low unemployment.

Ne have also included the Lancaster Labor Area Civilian Labor Force Report for the year 1978. This includes the four counties of Crant, Iowa, Lafayette, and Richland. This report gives a running account of unemployment and ennlovment for the yeat of 1973.

ESARS report M6 gives information on broad occupational codes for the entire district consisting of the four counties previously mentioned. The column headed "annlicants available" includes cumula-tive fi<ures for the current fiscal year beginning October 1,1978. he other columns pertain to applicants actively registered with the Job Service offices at the end of June 1979.

~he tuo lines with red checks pertain to experienced worhers in (3) Structural Occunations and (9) '!iscellaneous Occupations. Please see attached breakout for 9 and 9 occunations. The entry colums pertain to uorkers without exnerience in the broad occupational grounings.

Several power plants have been built in the Cassville area.

Vorkers for these construction projects were provided at the time.

If this area were chosen as a construction site, sone skilled workers might have to be recruited but the increased emnloyment would be beneficial to the econonv of the area.

JOHN E. LUSSERS, OrRECYom DIAL 459-3200 SHEDoYGAN. WISCONSIN 53081 August 8, 1979 Mr. Michael Nathanson Argonne National Laboratories Building 10 Argonne, Illinois 60439

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

This is a follow-up to our phone conversation late in July when we discussed the environmental impact of building a nuclear power plant in the Sheboygan area.

You are interested in what impac. approximately two hundred construction workers could have on a community lika Sheboy-gan. My feeling is that the most obvious impact would be upon housing, particularly rental units, which are already in short supply. Also, this kind of worker of ten brings a house trailer and there could be problems in that area be-cause of local township zoning requirements, and so forth.

Depending upon whether the majority of these workers would be single or not, I would surmise that there also could be problems in the area of law enforcement and police services, given the fact that these people are " nomadic", and often do seek much of their recreation and spare time activities in

' local bars and taverns.

Those are the two areas that come to mind that could be affected.

If you have any questions about this, I would be happy to discuss them with you.

V .y truly y rs, 4

Dear Mr. Nathansons:

Following is the statement you requested concerning the law enforcement problems as they relate to the proposed nuclear construction site at Haven.

I believe that to say an influx of 1,300 to 1,500 construction workers in a community our size is no problem, would be an understatement. I do not believe, however, that the problems are insurmountable. Housing in our area, especially rental property, appears to be at a premium. However, real estate, while rather high, is not out of line compared to other areas if purchase is considered. I am assuming that many of these employees may commute from Port Washington, Fond du Lac, or Manitowoc , and therefore, I believe housing should be available.

Traffic patterns in the immediate area may need some modifications.

The site is readily accessible through the use of CTH LS (old STH 141), present STH 141, and it is anticipated that I-43 shall be extended well beyond Sheboygan, if and when construction commences. Our departanent has had considerable experience in the last 20 years with traffic in the Elkhart Lake area during three weekends a year when Road America draws spectators and participants from throughout the United States. These events draw from 15,000 to 45,000 people each weekend and has not caused us any serious problems.

We discussed on the phone possible social disruptions. Here again, I see no major upheavals in our society locally. One potential trouble spot during construction would be the possibility of a major demonstration by opponents to the project such as at Seabrooke. Any long, drawn out demonstration would MEMBEA 4."..... / ;

NM

Argonne National Laboratories July 27, 1979 Page 2 create a serious problem for local law enforcement. In Wisconsin, however, the statutes provide for mutual aid in which one county or several may assist another on a temporary basis. It is anticipated that for short term duty, we may be able to muster between 200-300 police officers from surrounding communities.

In closing, I have had conversations with law enforcement officers from Manitowoc County during their construction period of the Two Creeks plant and have been informed that there appears to be no insurmountable obstacles as far as law enforce-ment is concerned. Be advised that if you desire any more information and/or in greater detail, do not hesitate to contact this office.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. 'iathanson:

In resconse to your question regardine the ability of the City of Shehoygan Falls to handle the potential population crowth expected because of the Haven Power Plant. The City of Shebovean Falls is presently reviewing plans for the addition of 250 esidential lots within the corporate limits of the city. The potential areas for annexation and further residential crowth are really unlimited.

The city presently has a 150 lot mobile hone park with aanle room for expansion.

I reali::e that I cannot speak for the rest of Sheboyean County, but as for the ability of the City of Sheboygan Falls to handle any possible population crowth because of the Haven Power Plan *,

it is quite evident that the city would experience no problems with regard to providine areas fo- buildinc and elocation.

Very truly yours, Corby D.' Felsher City Clerk-Treas.

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

In your review of the proposed Haven nuclear site one should consider the impact on the City of Sheboygan which is a short distance away. The city would be able to abso6 a few hundred people either on a permanent or temporary basis during the construction period. Furthermore, any increase in employees after construction could be accomodated without any undue stress on the services we provide.

We have a tight housing situation here insofar as oportments and single family units are concemed. Our yearly housing starts overage 150 which is about all local contractors and the availability of land con handle.

Our employment rate is now 2.6% and may very up to 3.5% which is considerably less than the national overage.

The city has one mobile home site available on the south side and no other sites within the city limits are available. I believe the Village of Cleveland has a mobile home park with sewer and water available.

Any traffic could be accomodated by 1-43 and the town roads and would not directly offect the City of Sheboygan.

Respectfully,

^^ .

Dear Mr. Mathanson:

I am writing this letter in response to your phone call concerning the affect of the Haven Nuclear Power Plant construction crews and the possible affect on our school enrollment.

You have indicated there could be a possible 1500 workers for a period of four to five years, if the Haven plant is constructed, which may mean an increase of two hundred students in the area.

The Sheboygan Falls School District has had a gradual decline in enrollment and therefore classrooms would be available in the district. We have four available elementary classrooms in the Waldo Elementary School and two available classrooms in the high school. We feel that the Sheboygan Falls School District could absorb up to one hundred fifty students without any adverse cost or affect to the local taxpayer.

Since I am no prophet, it is difficult to know whether the present conditions would prevail five years hence, since we have noticed that our enrollment decline is tapering off.

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

Reference is made to your telephone call of last week requesting information pertaining to the long range outlook of the Sheboygan Area School District and whether or not the district could accommodate enrollment of additonal students.

Dr. Jerald Schoenike, Director of Administrative Services and Chairman of the Long Range Planning Committee has provided the following information.

Should further information be required, please contact this office.

The 1972-73 enrollmentl of the Sheboygan Area School District was 11234 pupils.

Since then a steady decline in student enrollment has been experienced. The 1978-79 enrollment was 9439. It is projected that by 1982-83, 8211 students will be enrolled; 7631 by 1985-86.

If broken down by elmentary and secondary groupings, the data would appear as follows:

K-6 7-12 EC-5 6-12 1972-73 5277 5957 1978-79 4148 5301 1982-83 3401 5010 1985-86 3457 4374 The school district's current inventory of available classroom space2 is for 4374 elementary students and 5847 secondary students. In 1982-83 it is expected that space will be available for only 4079 elementary students. The reduction of elementary space will be accomplished by the projected closing of two small elementary schools, (Lincoln School and Lyman School) replacement of an elemen-tary school (Pigeon River School) and remodeling of an elementary school (Maple-dale School).

The inventory of space for secondary classrooms will probably remain at the current level although revisions in special education programming may reduce the inventory somewhat. A study is underway regarding the additon of space for physical education and vocational education at both of the senior high school facilities.

Plans are being implemented for a voluntary early childhood program to be fully operational by 1982-83. It is estimated that this will add 200 FTE students to projected enrollments. Unknown factors, of course, may change this estimate. (Already included in the above table.)

Recent Board of Education action calls for implementation of an Early Child-Hood-5, 6-8, 9-12 plan or organization changing from the current K-6, 7-9, 10-12 plan of organization. The impact of this enange on facilities vill be to better utilize the secondary facilities to a greater degree and to make better use of the school district's capital imvestment. The ultimate result of this change will be an improved instructional program.

The district policy on pupil-teacher ratio is 20.8 pupils for each teacher on the elementary level and 21.0 pupils for each teacher on the secondary level.

The ratios do not include administrators, support staff (psychologists, social workers, guidance counselors, reading specialists, etc.) or special education teachers. We feel the ratio is favorable to good instruction. The school district has had no unique problems in obtaining professional staff.

An increase in enrollment for the duration of the construction of the Haven plant would not cause any difficulty in hiring additional staff. A problem may be created when tha construction is ccepleted and a major drop in enroll-ment takes place. Add 4 costs for unemployment compensation for laid-off teachers would be expected.

It would appear that the school district could absorb 400 students into the district with minimum difficulty. This would, of course, assume reasonable distribution of the students throughout the school district. If a temporary housing area (trailer park) is established in a single school attendance area, an elementary school may be strained unless transportation is arranged. Assum-ing reasonable distribution of students by grade, the district could absoro up to 700 students without major facility problems.

Recent investigations by the Long Range Planning Committee of the school district indicated a severe housing shortage in Sheboygan. If the sewage plant is fully operational, and if the Town of Sheboygan Sanitary District No. 2 is funded, it appears that adequate building sites will be available. However, the current housing shortage, especially low income, is expected to continue.

It is important for planners to recognize the relationship of other school districts to the proposed construction site of the Haven plant. The school districts of Howards Grove, Kiel, Sheboygan Falls and Manitowoc also have the possibility of absorbing an influx of students to the immediate area.

It would appear that the community with the most housing available would receive the greatest amount of students.

As one would expect, much of the above data are subject to the change. However, the information represents our best estimate at this time. The Long Range Planning Committee will be making a major report to the Board of Education in the fall of 1979 which may have some impact on your study. Please feel free to contact us for further updated data.

Sincerely, f

Enrollment for the purposes of this letter is defined as full time equivalent (FTE). This means that a student attending school half time is considered .5 of a pupil. Example: Thirty kindergarten students attending school half-time would be counted as 15 students on enrollment reports.

2 Inventory of school space is based on a full-time equivalent basis, cc: J. Schoenike p ' j h,

Dear Mr. Nathanson:

As a result of our telephone conversation yesterday, I am submitting the following information for your records. There are three general hospitals in Sheboygan County, two located in the City of Sheboygan and one in the City of Plymouth. Sheboygan Memorial Hospiral has a bed capacity of 250 beds, St. Nicholas Hospital operates with 185 beds and the Plymouth Hospital is a 48 bed f acility. Although we are in the midst of a major renovation project and Sc. Nicholas has just completed a totally new building program I am reasonably certain that none of the hospitals plan any change in their bed capacity within the next five years. Therefore in response to your question there should be no bed expansion in these hospitals in tne near future.

As f ar as orthopedic surgeons practicing in the area at the present time, there are six sho practice almost exclusively at the two Sheboygan hospitals. They are all on active status at the present time. Arrangements hire also been made for the addition of one more orthopedic surgeon who will be arriving in Sheboygan approximately October 1st of this year. Therefore before the end of the year we will have seven practicing orthopedic surgeons barring retirements and/or moves out of the community.

I hope this will provide you with all of the information which you requested. If anything further is needed please contact me.

Sincerely, James W. Scheel Associate Administrator JWS:df
