Comments of the.State of New York on the U.S.Nuc'lear Re ulator Commission's Draft Environmental m act Statement DEIS Related to the eration of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit No.2 October ll, 1984 2~Section 5.3.1 indicates that only 1,000 gallons per day of City of Oswego water will be needed at the facility for potable and sanitary purposes.This figure seems very low.The sanitary waste water treatment plant at Nine Mile Poi.nt No.1 typically discharges over 10,000 gallons per day, and the new.waste water treatment plant for Nine Mile Point 1 and Nine Mile Point 2 has a design average flow of 120,000 gallons per day.The discrepancies in these figures should be explained.

Dear Mr.Schwencer:

Re: Draft Environmental Impact Statement:

Operation of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No.2 The attached comments are based on review by the appropriate New York State Agencies of the U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission's July 1984 Draft Environmental Impact Statement related to the operation of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No.2 (Docket No.50-410, NUREG-1085).We recommend incorporation of our concerns into the Final Environmental Impact Statement.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your Draft Environmental Impact Statement.

Diesel engines greater than 400 horsepower must obtain construction and operation permits pursuant to NYCRR 201.Niagara Mohawk should submit a list of al l diesel engines and their sizes to the Department of Envi ronmental Conservation, Regi on.7 office, P.O.Box 5170, Fi sher Avenue, Cortland, NY 13045 (Attention:

Applicant should con-tact the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (address abo-ve)to obtain a Scientific Collectors License for such a program.The results of the study should also be sent to that office.The Emergency Preparedness section 5.9.4.4(3) should include local five districts, ambulances, and emergency services, since they would be directly involved in an emergency.
