Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 1 iii 5 NA Change Supplement 58 to Supplement 59.

2 iii 20 NA Change Entergy Louisiana to Entergy Louisiana, LLC which is the correct legal name.

3 1-6 26 1.10 Change Appendix F to Appendix B since Appendix F deals with SAMA and not Federal statutes.

4 1-6 36 1.11 Change Entergy 2016a to Entergy 2016b to be more specific that the information came from the Applicants Environmental Report.

5 2-5 15 2.2.2 Change WF3 is owned and operated by Entergy Corporation and to WF3, owned by Entergy Louisiana, LLC and operated by Entergy Operations, Inc., since the reference here to Entergy Corporation in this sentence is not appropriate.

6 2-6 N/A Table 2-1 For Cooling System under the New Nuclear Alternative, change the NRC 2014a cited reference to NRC 2014 to reflect how its shown in the list of references in Section 2.5.

7 2-7 5-6 2.2.2.1 Change nuclear generation currently provides approximately 14 percent of electricity generation in Louisiana to in 2015 nuclear generation provided approximately 14 percent of electricity generation in Louisiana since that would be consistent with how its stated in Section 2.2.2 (page 2-5, lines 27 - 30). For installed capacity based on Section 2.2.2 (page 2-5, lines 22 - 25),

the 2015 net summer generating capacity for nuclear is shown as 8 percent.

8 2-11 38 & 44 2.2.2.4 Change Entergy 2015IRP to only Entergy 2015 for consistency with how other references are shown in this chapter.

9 2-12 22 2.3.1 Change the EIA 2016b reference cited here to EIA 2016d based on the list of references in Section 2.5. EIA 2016b is associated with Louisianas profile whereas EIA 2016d is associated with Californias solar generating capacity.

10 2-12 25 2.3.1 Change Bolinger and Seel 2016 to Bolinger and Seel 2015 for consistency with how its listed in the Section 2.5 references.

11 2-13 7 2.3.2 Typo: Change become to became.

Supplement 59 Comments- 1

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 12 2-13 11 2.3.2 There is no EIA 2015b reference listed in the Section 2.5 references. Based on the Section 2.5 references, I believe it be EIA 2015e since this reference is associated with offshore wind.

13 2-14 8 2.3.4 Change Entergy 2015IRP to only Entergy 2015 for consistency with how other references are shown in this chapter.

14 2-14 39 2.3.5 Change the NRC 2013a cited reference to NRC 2013 to reflect how its shown in the list of references in Section 2.5.

16 2-17 39 - 40 2.3.13 Change Entergy 2015IRP to only Entergy 2015 for consistency with how other references are shown in this chapter.

17 2-20 NA Table 2-2 In footnote i change St. Charles County to St.

Charles Parish since Louisiana does not have counties but instead parishes.

18 2-21 15 2.5 Remove this reference as it was not cited anywhere in Chapter 2.0.

21 3-2 NA Figure 3-1 Need to remove the USCB 2014c, USDOT 2014 and USGS 2014a references since they came from WF3s environmental report and are not listed in the Section 3.14 reference list.

22 3-4 26 3.1.3.1 Either change with to within or delete with the river.

23 3-4 27 3.1.3.1 Insert in depth after (10.4 m).

24 3-4 29 3.1.3.1 Delete (16 ft) since it is already shown on this line.

25 3-7 1 3.1.3.1 Need to add the NRC 2017 cited reference to the list of references in Section 3.14 as its currently not shown.

Supplement 59 Comments- 2

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 26 3-8 29 3.1.3.1 Suggest removing discharge since the water is being withdrawn and it creates confusion.

27 3-16 36 3.1.4.3 Based on the 2014 WF3 ARERR, there were 15 shipments made. The number currently being shown is most likely associated with another plant.

28 3-16 36 3.1.4.3 Change DCPP to WF3 since this is not the plant designation for Waterford 3. Also, recommend that two be changed to three since the EnergySolutions facilities in Utah and Tennessee would be separate licensed facilities.

29 3-18 7 3.1.5 Need to add LAC 33:V citation to the Section 3.14 list of references as its not currently shown.

30 3-18 35 3.1.6.2 Since WF3 is a single unit, change The WF3 nuclear units are to The WF3 nuclear unit is.

31 3-19 20 3.1.6.4 Change Section 3.10.6 to Section 3.10.5 as this section does not exist in the WF3 Draft SEIS.

32 3-19 25 & 29 3.1.6.4 Change Entergy 2014FSAR to Entergy 2014a for consistency with how its shown in the Section 3.14 list of references.

33 3-21 NA Figure 3-5 Need to remove the Entergy 2013a, ESRI 2014, USCB 2014c, and WF3 2009 references since they came from WF3s environmental report and are not listed in the Section 3.14 reference list.

34 3-23 5 3.2.1.3 Delete and so the sentence will flow better.

35 3-24 31 3.2.2 Change Waterford 1 and 2 to Waterford 1, 2 and 4 as there are three units.

36 3-25 23 3.3.1 Change Entergy 2016 to Entergy 2016a for consistency with how its shown in the Section 3.14 list of references.

37 3-27 24 3.3.2 Need to add the LAC 33:III.501 citation to the Section 3.14 list of references as its currently now shown.

38 3-29 NA 3.3.2 As an observation, the 81 FR 68110 citation in footnote 2 is not listed in the Section 3.14 list of references.

Supplement 59 Comments- 3

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 39 3-31 5 - 12 3.3.3 In the Section 3.14 list of references, there is a SCP Undated shown that appears to coincide with the reference to Chapter 24 of Code, Parish of St. Charles. The SCP Undated reference shown in Section 3.14 is not cited anywhere in the entire WF3 Draft SEIS. Should it be cited here somewhere in this discussion?

40 3-31 24 3.3.3 Need to add the LP&L 1979 cited reference to the Section 3.14 list of references as its currently not shown.

41 3-31 38 3.4.1 Change Waterford to WF3.

42 3-34 NA Figure 3-7 Consider changing Waterford Site to Waterford 3 Site since Waterford 1, 2 and 4 are also located on this same property.

43 3-35 NA Figure 3-8 Consider changing Waterford Site to Waterford 3 Site since Waterford 1, 2 and 4 are also located on this same property.

44 3-36 3 Figure 3-9 Change Entergy 2016 to Entergy 2016a for consistency with how its shown in the Section 3.14 list of references.

45 3-37 12, 18 & 3.4.2 Change Entergy 2016 to Entergy 2016a for 25 consistency with how its shown in the Section 3.14 list of references.

46 3-37 34 3.4.3 Insert a space between (3,950 km2) and of.

47 3-45 8 3.5.1.2 Change Section 4.16.3 to Section 4.16.3.

48 3-46 26 3.5.1.3 Change EPA 2016 to EPA 2016d since this would be the correct cited reference based on the list of references shown in Section 3.14.

49 3-46 36 3.5.1.3 Change LDEQ 2015a to LDEQ 2015b since this would be the correct reference based on the Section 4.18 list of references. LDEQ 2015a is associated with the Section 401 WQC.

50 3-46 39 3.5.1.3 Delete including 9 internal outfalls (internal monitoring points) since it could be misunderstood that WF3 has 22 outfalls based on the current wording and the fact that WF3 has 10 internal outfalls (refer to Table 3-8 of the Draft SEIS).

Supplement 59 Comments- 4

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 51 3-48 8 3.5.1.3 Change Entergy 2016RAI to Entergy 2016b only since it would be consistent with how its shown in the Section 3.14 reference list.

52 3-50 NA Table 3-8 For the Outfall 1001 Description, move the bottom two lines up to the previous sentence.

53 3-50 17 3.5.1.3 Change EPA 2016c to EPA 2016e since this would be the correct cited reference based on the list of references shown in Section 3.14.

54 3-51 30 3.5.1.3 Change or intake to or discharge.

55 3-51 36 3.5.1.3 Change Entergy 2016RAI to Entergy 2016b since it would be consistent with how its shown in the Section 3.14 reference list.

56 3-52 37 3.5.2.1 There is no Figure 4 in Section 3.4.1. I believe the correct figure would be Figure 3-9.

57 3-53 1 3.5.2.1 Would recommend deleting near since it appears to be out of place in this sentence.

58 3-53 21 & 28 3.5.2.3 Change monitor to monitoring.

59 3-53 30 3.5.2.3 Change radiological environmental operating to radioactive effluent release.

64 3-66 31, 34, 3.7.2.2 Need to add the LPL 1978 cited reference to the 35 & 43 Section 3.14 list of references as its currently not shown. For consistency on how it has previously been shown in other sections, show it as LP&L 1978.

Supplement 59 Comments- 5

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 65 3-67 4, 6, 8, & 3.7.2.2 Need to add the LPL 1978 cited reference to the 14 Section 3.14 list of references as its currently not shown. For consistency on how it has previously been shown in other sections, show it as LP&L 1978. LP&L would be the correct designation for Louisiana Power & Light.

66 3-67 18 & 21 3.7.2.2 Change LPL to LP&L since this would be the correct designation for Louisiana Power & Light.

67 3-67 18 & 21 3.7.2.2 Change WF to Waterford since it is not shown in the Draft SEISs acronym list.

71 3-70 18 & 20 3.7.3 There is no LDWF 2016 reference listed in the Section 3.14 references. Maybe it should be LDWF 2016f since this reference deals with LDWFs list of species by parish.

72 3-70 28 3.7.3 Change WF1 and WF2 to Waterford 1 and 2 since WF is not shown in the Draft SEIS acronym list.

Supplement 59 Comments- 6

Supplement 59 Comments- 9

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 110 4-3 37 - 38 4.2.3.2 Delete the sentence Because of their height, the cooling towers may require aircraft warning lights, which would be visible at night. The cooling towers will be mechanical draft cooling towers based on Table 2-1 of the Draft SEIS and will not be that high, and RBSs mechanical draft cooling towers do not require aircraft warning lights.

111 4-6 34 4.3.1.2 Need to add the NRC 1996 reference citation to the Section 4.18 reference list as its currently not shown.

112 4-8 9 4.3.3.1 The NRC 2013b cited reference is incorrect for construction lead times. Unsure which NRC reference in Section 4.18 would be correct here, maybe IEA/OECD/NEA 2005.

113 4-8 22 4.3.3.1 Change Section 3.2 to Section 3.3 since Section 3.2 addresses land use and visual resources.

114 4-8 31 4.3.3.2 Change Section 3.2.2 to Section 3.3.3 since Section 3.2.2 addresses visual resources.

115 4-14 37 4.3.6.1 Need to add the NREL 1997 reference citation to the Section 4.18 reference list as its currently not shown.

116 4-15 11 4.3.6.2 Change Section 3.2.2 to Section 3.3.3 since Section 3.2.2 addresses visual resources.

117 4-14 2 4.3.6.1 Suggest inserting the following sentence after alternative: The NRC staff does not anticipate air quality impacts from the DSM component of this combination alternative.

118 4-19 33 4.5.3.1 1. Need to add the LAC 33:IX.2515 citation to the Section 4.18 reference list as its currently not shown.

2. The LDEQ 2016 citation appears to be the wrong reference for this sentence as LDEQ 2016 is associated with facilities subject to 316(b) based on the Section 4.18 reference list. Would recommend deleting.

119 4-22 38 4.5.5.1 Change NPDES to LPDES.

120 4-25 23 4.6.1.2 1. Change Table 3-A to Table 3-1.

2. Section 3.6.3 is not correct. It should be Section 3.2.1.1 since Table 3-1 is included in this section.

Supplement 59 Comments- 10

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 121 4-26 35 4.6.2 Need to add the NRC 2002 citation to the Section 4.18 reference list as its currently not shown.

126 4-43 28 - 35 4.7.1.3 Need to delete this paragraph based on the discussion on Page 3-45 (Lines 31 - 36) and replace with the following:

WF3 is authorized to discharge various wastewater (effluent) streams including return circulating water and plant-site stormwater under LPDES permit No. LA0007374, issued to Entergy on August 1, 2017 by LDEQ (LDEQ 2017). The renewed LPDES permit for WF3 was issued pursuant to Entergys submittal of a permit renewal application on March 30, 2015 (Entergy 2015b) that LDEQ accepted as administratively complete on April 15, 2015 (LDEQ 2015a). The permit is valid until September 30, 2022.

Also add the following reference to the Section 4.18 list of references:

[LDEQ] Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. 2015a. Letter from N. Larsen, Environmental Project Specialist 3, Permits Application Administrative Review Group, to M.

Chisum, Site Vice President, Entergy Operations, Inc. RE: Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station Administrative Completeness Determination. April 15, 2015. ADAMS Accession No. ML17037D302.

Supplement 59 Comments- 11

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 128 4-45 6 - 10 4.7.1.3 Revise paragraph as follows since WF3 was issued a renewed permit in 2017 (see Comment 126):

As described above in LOE 1, LPDES permit No.

LA0007374 was issued to Entergy on August 1, 2017 by LDEQ (LDEQ 2017). The renewed LPDES permit for WF3 was issued pursuant to Entergys submittal of a permit renewal application on March 30, 2015 (Entergy 2015b) that LDEQ accepted as administratively complete on April 15, 2015 (LDEQ 2015a). The permit is valid until September 30, 2022. The NRC staff assumes that the 2017 LPDES permit would assure that the discharge meets all State water quality standards and that LDEQ would consider any environmental changes in the river since 1998, such as increases in temperature from climate change.

129 4-46 28 4.7.1.3 Insert a parenthesis close symbol ) after invertebrates.

130 4-47 8 4.7.1.3 Suggest inserting only prior to a to make the sentence clearer.

131 4-47 35 - 38 4.7.1.3 Draft SEIS has already stated that WF3 was issued a permit in 2017 (see Comment 126). The Entergy 2016b reference on Line 36 is also incorrect and shouldve have been Entergy 2015b since its associated with the permit renewal application based on the Section 4.18 list of references.

The suggestion is to delete the following sentences:

In 2015, Entergy submitted an application to renew its LPDES permit (Entergy 2015b). LDEQ has not yet renewed the LPDES permit, and therefore, has not yet evaluated whether and what mitigation measures would be required for compliance with the current Phase II Rule.

132 4-50 35 4.8.1 Change Appendix C.1 to Appendix C to be consistent with how its shown throughout the Draft SEIS. This is the only place in the Draft SEIS where its shown like this.

Supplement 59 Comments- 12

Entergy Comments to Draft Supplement 59 of the GEIS Item Page Line Section Comment 133 4-52 14 4.8.1.1 Would suggest verifying that the FWS and NMFS 2009 reference is correct for this statement since the reference document is associated with Gulf Sturgeon and does not mention spawning for pallid sturgeon.

135 4-57 34 4.8.1.3 Delete cumulative effects since it makes the sentence fragmented.

136 4-58 6 4.8.1.4 Change NRC 1995 to NRC 1981 which corresponds with WF3s FES based on the Section 4.18 list of references.

137 4-61 13 4.8.6 Suggest inserting a statement such as follows:

DSM would have no effect on Federally listed species and critical habitats.

138 4-61 20 4.8.6 Suggest inserting a statement such as follows:

DSM would have no effect on EFH.

139 4-63 23 4.9.2 Need to add the NRC 2002b cited reference to the Section 4.18 list of references as its currently not shown.

155 4-73 21 4.11.1.3 Need to add the 10 CFR 54 citation to the Section 4.18 list of references as its currently not shown.

156 4-74 33 4.11.1.3 Consider changing the number of SAMAs remaining for further evaluation after the initial screening to 74 to be consistent with the conclusions in Section F.8. The total number of SAMAs evaluated became 75 after one was added in response to an RAI.

157 4-77 39 4.11.1.3 Description of SAMA 8 should be, Use fire water system as a backup source for diesel cooling.

158 4-81 24 - 25 4.12.1 Reword sentence as follows since impacts to aquatic resources were also SMALL as shown in Table ES-1 of the Draft SEIS:

The analyses of impacts for all environmental resource areas indicated that the impact from license renewal would be SMALL.

159 4-81 30 4.12.1 Change 4.11.1.2 to 4.11.1.3 since Section 4.11.1.2 addresses microbiological hazards.

160 4-82 29 4.12.1 Suggest deleting annually since it insinuates that samples are collected only once per year.
