THE SITE AND' ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFACES , 2 2.1 GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHY-2.1.1 ' SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION 2.1.1.1 Specification of Location The Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit No. 1 (WCGS) is located in eastern Kansas approximately 75 miles southwest of Kansas City, 53 miles south of Topeka, and 100 miles east-northeast of Wichita, Kansas. The plant site is near the center of Coffey. County in Hampden Township, 3.5 miles northeast of the city of Burlington and 3.5 miles east l of the Neosho River and the main dam at John Redmond Reser-voir. ~ Figure 2.1-1 shows the location of.the site in Kansas, and Figure ~2.1-2 locates it in Coffey County. l The plant site is located in Townsnip 21 South, Range 16 j East of the Sixth Principal Meridian, and~ Townships 20 and 21 South, Range 15 East of the Sixth Principal Meridian. The reactor is located 4,235,500 meters north and 264,600 y'"N meters east within zone 15 at Universal Transverse Mercator
) Coordinates Latitude 38 14'20" North aad Longitude 95 41'20" x- '
West. The WCGS is a Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant System (SNUPPS) plant, which locates the reactor centerline at hypothetical SNUPPS coordinates Latitude 100 ^90 North and Longitude 100,000 East. The Kansas State plane coordi-
. nates corresponding to these hypothetical coordinates are Latitude 584,670 North and Longitude 2,807,250 East.
2.1.1.2 Site Area /.
?
Of the 11,882 acres owned by the applicant on and near to the WCGS site, 9,818 acres are occupied by the site, and 1,976 acres lie outside of the site boundary. The acreage beyond the site boundary is leased as farmland and pastureland. The railroad right-of-way to the site boundary occupies about 148 acres, 88 acres of which are owned by the applicant. Figure 2.1-3 shows the lands owned i by the applicant. The station property lines include both the land inside the site boundary and the leased land out-side the boundary. Areas modified by construction of the plant include 135 acres for the station, 60 acres for the cooling lake dams and dikes, and 5,090 acres for the cooling [ lake at a normal elevation of 1,087 feet above mean sea level (MSL). Figure 2.1-4 shows the location and orienta-tion of principal plant structures, and Figure 2.1-5 shows [\j the layout for the cooling lake, dams, dikes, and spillways.

WCGS-ER(OLS) The plant exclusion area, shown on Figure 2.1-6, lies within the site boundary and encompasses approximately 1,118 acres, which are owned by the applicant. This area is traversed only by the access road to the plant. There are no residential, commercial, or industrial struc-tures within either the exclusion area or the plant site area. The effects of the Wolf Creek cooling lake are dis-cussed in Section 2.8. (see note below) ! The transportation network in the site vicinity is shown on Figure 2.1-7. The main highway artery in the plant site area is U.S. Highway 75, which runs in a north-south direction about 0.25 mile west of the site boundary and 2.8 miles west of the reactor location at its closest point. The four other major roads within a 5-mile radius of the plant are the federal-aid secondary routes 10, 149, 153, and 1472. There is no commercial water traffic on the Neosho River or the John Redmond Reservoir. The nearest existing railroad to the site is the Missouri Pacific Railroad located 9.5 miles southeast of the site boundary. l A spur connecting the site with this track was constructed to provide rail access to the site. Another railroad, (Santa Fe Railroad) and right-of-way, running in a north-south direction, located 0.3 mile west of the plant site is abandoned. By Interstate Commerce Commission Order in Finance Docket No. 26591, dated February 4, 1972, caption-ed Atchinson, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad Company Abandonment, B.H. Junction and Gridley, Franklin and Coffey Countics, it was ordered that the branch line of the rail-road extending between milepost 0.0 at B.H. Junction, Kansas, and milepost 52 plus 1,518 feet at Gridley, Kansas, be abandoned. With this abandonment, title of the right-of-way property reverted to the fee simple title owners. Of fsite activities which may be considered as possible con-tributors to the risk associated with WCGS are transportation, mining and mineral exploration and operations, industrial activities and military activities. Air transportation does not pose any undue risk to the safe operation of WCGS (FSAR Addendum Section 3.5.1.6). Water transportation poses no hazards to WCGS since there is no commercial water traffic Note: For consistency the term " cooling lake" is used in this Environmental Report to designate the entire body of impounded cooling water and its related structures and appurtenances. This use is not necessarily consistent with the definition of
" cooling lake" found in 40 CPR 423.11 or any sub-sequent specialized definitions, but is used in the context of prior WCGS documentation as portrayed in that context.

Section 2.2.1.5). Land transportation routes are of a sufficient distance from WCGS that they do not pose any hazard to the plant (FSAR Addendum Sections 2.2.1.4, 2.2.3.1, and 2.2.3.2). Gas pipelines and petroleum storage facil-ities were evaluated and determined not to present a hazard to WCGS (FSAR Addendum Sections 2.2.1.6 and 2.2.3). Indus-trial and military activites do not pose a hazard to WCGS operation due to the distance between WCGS and any indus-trial or military facility (FSAR Sections 2.2.1.1, 2.2.1.2, and 2.2.3). FSAR Section 2.2.1.2.3 discusses mining activities which are small and pose no hazard to WCGS. In summary, no external activities pose a threat or hazard to WCGS operation. ' 2.1.1.3 Boundaries for Establishing Effluent Release Limits The restricted area, which is used for establishing effluent release limits, enable the applicant to fulfill their obligations with respect to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20. This area and the distance from the station vent stack to the boundary line of the restricted area is shown on Figure 2.1-6. The restricted area boundary coincides with the exclusion area boundary. (

) continued to 2020 for each MCD. County sums derived from \_ 4 these divisions were then reproportioned to county totals derived from the step-down procedure (Greenberg and others, 1973). Thus, if .an area had grown in the past, it was assumed it would continue to grow. The MCD projections were allocated to variots segments in the 0- to 50-mile area with the area-distribution method previously described.
In casec where new residential developments occurred within the 0- to 5-mile area and historic population trends were not reliable, projections were based on the number of planned home sites within each development. An occupancy f actor of i 2.9 people per dwelling (determined from a field survey and verified by the 1970 census data) was.used to derive a total population for each new residential area. This approach provides a conservative or high population projection for these areas. It is assumed that no permanent residents would live within < 1 mile of the plant site or within the area occupied by the cooling lake beyond 1980. Demographic surveys' performed in
; 1980 have confirmcd these assumptions.
2.1.2.1 Population Within 10 Miles s The total 1970 population within the 10-mile area was 4,059, [ T which results in a density of 13 people per square mile (_,/ and clearly depicts the area's rural nature (Table 2.1-2). Within 5 miles of the plant site, the 2,537 residents provide a density of 32 people per' square mile. However, when Burlington with its population of 2,099 is excluded, the area within 5 miles of the plant site then has a density of six people oer square mile. The 2020 population projection for the area within 10 miles of the plant site indicates a decline in nearly all segments except 'in those which encompass Burlington and New Strawn. These communities are located principally in the 3- to 4- and-4- to 5-mile segments described in Table 2.1-2 and on Figure 2.1-8. However, the 2020 projection is not the maximum. As shown in Table 2.1-2, the 10-mile population increases very slowly from 4,059 in 1970 to 6,120 in 2000. After the year 2000 the 10-mile population declines to 5,370 in 2020. The increase and decline is related to the age-structure of the
- population and the out-migration history of the area. Figures 2.1-9 through 2.1-14 present the projected populations in the 0- to 10-mile area from 1970 to 2020.
The only incorporated communities within 10 miles of the pl an t site are at Burlington, 3.5 miles to the southwest, and New Strawn, 3 miles to the west-northwest of the plant )
N r site (Table 2.1-1). \ Rev. 2 2.1-5 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) Burlington had a 1970 population of 2,099, a January 1979 populat ion o f 2,511, and is expected to undergo only mod-erate g rowth by 2023. New Strawn was created when the U.S. Army Co rps o f Engi-neers relocated Strawn (an unincorporated settlement) from the area to be inundated by the John Redmond Reservoir, and was incorporated in 1971 (Brown, 1979). The town did not appear in the 1970 U.S. Census. Therefore, in the absence of historic population trends, estimates for the future have been based on the r umber of planned lot sites. New Strawn is currently g rowing, and has the capability to accommodate significant new residential development. Within New Strawn 668 home and trailer lots have been subdivided, with approximately 150 single family homes and 63 trailers presently occupied within the town (Jones, 1979, Boyce, 1979). Present growth in New Strawn is estimated at 12 to 15 single family homes per year (Jone s , 1979). Assuming development of an additional 30 single family residences and 22 trailers (remaining capacity in the Arrow-head Park Trailer Camp) , the 1980 population of New Strawn could be as high as 800 residents (assuming about 2.9 people per dwelling unit) . As New Strawn occupies parts of two of the geographic sectors, approximately 534 of these people would live in the west-northwest segment from 3 to 4 miles from the site, and 266 residents would live in the northwest segment from 3 to 4 miles from the site. In addition to incorporated New Strawn, there are two adjacent d ev el o pm en ts , Remer's Point and Hillview, in an unincorporated area west of New Strawn. Presently, there are a total of 11 homes and 2 mobile homes in the two developments - 7 homes and 2 trailers in Hillview, and 4 homes in Remer's Point. It is estimated that there exists space for approximately 40 addi-tional dwelling units within the two developments (Remer, 1979; Harris, 1979). Full development of these two areas would result in a total population of approximately 150 residents (assuming 2.9 persons per dwelling unit). However, this development is unlikely to occur until well after 1980 (Remer, 1979; Harris, 1979). Of this potential total of 150 residents in Remer's Point and Hillview, 10 would locate in the west-northwest segment, 5 to 10 miles from the plant, and the remainder would locate in west-northwest segment, 4 to 5 miles from the site.

The midpoint of station' operating life, rounded to the nearest census date, is 2000. The distribution for age categories 0 to 12, 12 to 18, and over 18 is shown in Table 2.1-3. The U.S. . projected age distributon for 2000 was used because the 1970 age distribution for Coffey County did not dif fer signif-
. icantly f rom the 197010.S. age distribution. Appendix D o f
, Regulatory Guide 4.2' Revision 2, Preparation of Environmental-Reports for Nuclear Power Stations, defines a "significant difference" as more than a 10 percent difference of the age distribution of the county in which,the proposed station is'to be located from the U.S. age distribution in the 1970 decen-nial census. The 10-percent difference cri'.erion is to be applied to any^ of the three age g roups . Table 2.1-3 shows the 1970 age distribution for the U.S., Coffey County (the county in which the plant is located), and the counties in which all
-or a pcrtion are located within 50 miles of the plant. None of the age categories differ significantly f rom the 1970 U.S.
age distribution. The year 2000 age distributions for 0 to 10 miles from the site and 10 to 50 miles are the same. 2.1.2.2 Population Between 10 and 50 Miles [( ) _,,1 Cities and towns within 10 to 50 miles of the plant site are shown on Figure 2.1-8 and their 1960 and 1970 census popu-lations are listed in Table 2.1-1. Many of these incorporated places experienced a decline in population from 1960 to 1970. Emporia, Kansas, with 23,327 residents in 1970 and 26.174 l residents in 1978 is the largest city in the 10- to 50-mile region, while the next largest is Ottawa with 11,036 people in 1970.and 10,693 people in January 1978 (Kn ig ht , 1979). The majority of the incorporated places contain less than 1,000 peo pl e . The population rose for the area from 10-to-50 miles is divided into 64 segments ranging in size from 59 to 177 square miles. The current and projected population distri-bution from 10 to 50 miles is listed in Table 2.1-4. The 1970 ' through 2020 population distributions are compared on Figures 2.1-15 through 2.1-20. The total cumulative 1970 population within the entire 50-mile area surrounding the site was 163,834 or about 21 persons per square mile. In the region within 10 to 50 miles of the plant site, the projections clearly depict a decline in the rural areas with moderate growth occurring only in the vicinities of major j e~' cities and towns (Figure 2.1-8 and Table 2.1-1).

r-WCGS-ER (OLS ) population decline of 4 percent over the entire 0- to 50-mile area is projected for the 50-year period from 1970 to 2020. The year 2000 age distribution for the 10 to 50 mile area around the site is shown in Table 2.1-3. The means by which this distribution was generated is discussed in Section 2.1.3.1. 2.1.2.3 Transient Population Transient population within 10 miles of the site is low. Most seasonal or daily shifts in population are associated with public facilities such as the John Redmond Reservoir, schools, and parks. Figure 2.1-21, Public Facilities and Institutions, illus-trates the geographic location of the transient population centers within 5 miles. Tables 2.1-5 through 2.1-8 provide a description of the faci.ities shown on Figure 2.1-21. The Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge (Table 2.1-8) is pri-marily outside the 10-mile study area. By comparing the population statistics (enrollment and usage) on Tables 2.1-5 through 2.1-8 with the geographic locations (Figure 2.1-21), current transient concentrations can be identified in relation to the plant location. Fo r , future projections, there were no anticipated expansions to public facilities within 5 miles of the site. There is presently no commitment by the Applicants to public uce of the WCGS cooling lake or surrounding land (see Section 2.8). If this commitment is made in the future, an increase in the transient population within 5 miles of the site would result. One Federal-Aid Primary highway (FAP 75) and four Federal-Aid Secondary highways (FAS 10, FAS 149, FAS 153, and FAS 1472) occur witnin 5 miles of the site (Figure 2.1-21). Based on the 1978 annual average daily traffic (ADT) count for FAP 75 and the 1975 ADT counts for the secondary highways, the following ranges of traffic volumes were recorded within 5 miles of the site (Ijans, 1978): Range o f ADT Route Orientation (vehicles per day) FAP 75 N-S 2810 - 3800 FAS 10 E-W 485 - 875 FAS 149 N-S 95 - 110 FAS 153 E-W 75 - 225 FAS 1472 E-W 90 - 125 1 2.1-8 01 '

WCGS-ER(OLS) ( ) The most' important source of transient seasonal population in
. is_,,/ the general area is the recreational usage of John Redmond Reservoir. The conservation pool of John Redmond Reservoir ex tends 3. 5 to 7.2 miles west of the site. The facilities that attract a transient population are boat launching ramps, fishing, picnic facilities, and campgrounds. The peak monthly
-usage was 79,400 during July 1978 (Duncan, 1979). The yearly visitation at John Redmond Dam and Reservoir averages about 380,000 (yearly change in visitation is largely dependent on weather conditions [Chester, 1979]). Actual 1972 visitation was r epo r ted to tue 692,300 (Kansas Park and Resources Author-
- ity, - and ~ 0bl inger-Smith Co rpo ration , 1975, Table IX.1). The recreational season is year round, but the peak months are during the summer. Major . sources of transient or seasonal populations, sucn as that experienced during recreational use of John Redmond Reservoir, have established visitor trends which can be utilized as a guide for future usage of these areas.
With the exception of visitation at-Kansas reserviors and state parks, transient populations at distances of 5 to 50 miles are miniral due to the absence of major industrial facilities or recreational attractions. The Pomona , Melvern , Toronto , and Fall River reservoirs and state parks are located within 50 miles of'the site. The s
'-) - recreational f acilities available at each of ttese reservoirs consist o f. boat launching ramps, picnic shelter s, sanitary facilities, campgrounds and swimming beaches. Location and actual 1978 visitation for each of these reservoirs are given below (Herndon, 1979):
f Reservoir and State Park Location 1978 Visitation Pomona 29 miles north 885,380 Malvern 19 miles north 896,054 Toronto 34 miles south- 419,900 southwest Fall River 45 miles south- 433,500 southwest The two largest cit! , althin 50 miles are Emporia (28 miles wes t-no r th wes t) and -awa (32.5 miles northeast). The 1978 populations of the 3e cities, 26,174 and 10,693, respectively, l reflect the absence of a large population-industrial source in the 16-county area surrounding the site. Transient population in the area is-not expected to increase due to the projected 2.1-9 Rev. 2 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) population decline (4 percent, Section 2.1.2.2) in the next 50 years. 2.1.2.4 Low Population Zone The low population zone (LPZ) is defined as the area within 2.5 miles (4,023 meters) from the reactor center as shown on Figures 2.1-6 and 2.1-21. The LPZ meets the requirements as stated in 10 CFR Part 100. The LPZ does not include Burling ton, New Strawn, or Highway 75, nor does it contain any areas of heavy residential use. The 1970 population of the 20-square mile area of the LPZ was 101 people. By 1980, the permanent resident population should be about 130 people. Table 2.1-9 presents the estimated distribution of noculation in 1970 and 1980 within the LPZ. All exit routes sithin the LPZ are presently unsurfaced two-lane county roads. Some of these roads may be impassable during periods of rainy weather except for tracked vehicles, four-wheel drive vehic1cs, and farm tractors. Detailed evacuation provisions will be . ; dressed in the detailed emergency procedures (Section 13.3 of the Final Sa fety Anal-ysis Repor t) . Two improved access roads (one all-weather) will be constructed which will provide exit routes within tha site property boundary and from the .PZ area. There are no sources of transient population within the LPZ. [There is presently no commitment by the Applicants to public use of the cooling lake or surrounding land (Section 2.8)] With the exception of residential traffic, there is na transient population in the LPZ, neither during the working day nor seasonally. No data are available on the frequency of residential traffic within the LPZ. The roads are not i major highways but are unsurfaced country roads which serve scattered residences. The ra lroad passing through the site i area was abandoned, and the rails have been removed. There are no commercial facilities within 2.5 miles of the site. 2.1.2.5 Population Center The population center or city closest to the site with a population g reater than 25,000 persons, is Emporia, Kansas, 28 miles west-northwest of the site. In 1975 its popula-tion was estimated to be 26,145 persons (DeMott, 1979). The next city eligible for designation as a population center is Topeka, Kansas, 53 miles north of the site. To pe k a 's reported populations for 1970 and 1978 were 155,322 and 144,221 persons, respectively (Schlicher, 1979). 2.1-10 O

14 - Osage silty clay 22B - Summit silty clay loam, 1 to 4 percenc slopes 12 - Verdigris silt loam. This has been changed to also include the Mason silt loam tha: was mapped previously 31 - Woodson silt loam These prime farmland designations are subject to change prior to publishing the Coffey County Soil Survey, which , is expected to be completed in 1981. There are no designated unique farmlands or farmlands of state or local significance in Coffey County (Swanson, 1979). b =V l 2.1-21

WCGS-ER(OLS) 2.1.3.3.4 Projected Land Use and Visitors Center A lake use study was conducted to determine the feasibility of allowing public use of the WCGS cooling lake for recreational purposes. Currently, there are to plans for public use of the cooling lake or lands within the site boundary adjacent to the cooling lake not needed during operation of the station and related facilities (see Section 2.8). At present the only area of the site which will be open for public use will be the visitor center. The visitors center is locatea in the Emer-gency Operations Facility Complex. (See Figure 2.1-6) 2.1.3. Water Use Within 50 Miles 2.1.3.4.1 Municipal, Ind us t r i al , Irrigation and Recreation Uses This section discusses the regional ground-water use and the principal surface-water users of the Neosho River downstream of the WCGS site to the Kansas-Oklahoma state line (approxi-mately 170 river miles) . Regarding surface-water use, only users downstream of the plant discharge are described since these are most likely to be affected by plant effluent relecses. Descriptions of the Neosho River and its major tributaries, streamflow gauging stations, major reservoirs and g round-water g radients are presented in Section 2.4. The effects of regional consumptive water use by the plant on water supplies are discussed in Sections 2.4, 3.3 and 5.7. Water and sewage treatment processes of the plant are d isc us sed in Sections 3.6, 3.7, 5.3 and 5.4. The water use estimates presented herein are based primarily on unpublished data which consisted primarily of estimated annual totals. Little information was available for monthly or seasonal variations, or for past and proj ec tcd water use. The principal water withdrawal from the Neosho River down-stream of the site is for municipal use, followed by indus-trial, irrigation and recreational uses. Listed in Tables 2.1-19 and 2.1-20 are the major water users and dischargers on the Neosho River downstraam of the site. The locations of the major water users are indicated on Figure 2.1-25. The City of LeRoy is the nearest municipal water user downstream o f Wol f Creek (13.5 miles). More detail regarding the incorporated municipal water supply systems downstream of the site is presented in Table 2.1-21. These municipal systems supply water for domestic, commercial, industrial and public-water requirements. Rural water districts (RWD) utilizing the Neosho River, either directly or indirectly, are also listed in Table 2.1-21. 2.1-22 Rev. 2 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS)
,m The RWDs have been formed in those areas where ground-water

flunicipal ground-water supplies within a 20-mile radius of the site are listed in Table 2.1-22; their locations are shown on !/igure 2.1-26. Many rural residences rely on individual w<,lls for domestic needs and livestock watering. There is no commercial water traffic on either the Neosho River or on the John Redmond Reservior. 2.1.3.4.2 Commcreial and Recreational Fish Harvest The principal fishing waters that are contiguous with the WCGS discharge and that may be influenced by the station effluents include the Neosho River downstream from the John Redmond Daa and tributary streams to the Neosho River. Within 50 miles of the plant site this includes approximately 100 anglable river miles of the Neosho River and approximately 24 tributaries with 240 stream miles of anglable waters. Fish cannot move upstream on the Neosho River past the John Redmond Dam. Therefore, fisheries upstream of the John Redmond Dam would not be influenced by station effluents. Although numerous city and county lakes, farm and ranch ponds, and other small lakes may also be considered contig-uous with waters receiving station effluents (since their / % waters eventually flow into the Neosho River) , they are ( ) not considered in the following discussion since many small dams block continuous flow during dry seasons and are also barriers to fish moving upstream. Commercial Fishing - Commercial fishing on the Neosho River and John Redmond and other reservoirs in Kansas began in 1978. This Kansas Fish and Game Commission controlled program only allows the hIrvesting of large rough fish. The catch in the John Redmond vicinity in 1980 was 421,000 pounds. Mussels are also commercially harvested from the Neosho River, l but none of the catch is used for human consumption. The shells are exported for seeding pearls in clams. The most recent annual mussel harvest estimate was for the 1969-1970 season and included both the Neosho and Verdigris rivers; total harvest was 600,000 pounds (272 metric tons) and was valued at $21,000. The annual harvest for the three previous seasons was 32,000 pounds (14.5 metric tons) in 1966-1967, 24,000 pounds (10.9 metric tons) in 1967-1968, and 8,750 pounds (3.9 metric tons) in 1968-1969 (Hartmann, 1979). Recreational Fishing - The Neosho River and many of its tributaries within 50 miles of the WCGS provide good sport-fishing, primarily for panfish and catfish. The species l 7e'y of fish caught by anglers in these waters are listed below l g j (Ray, 1976): Rev. 2 2.1-23 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) channel catfish bullheads walleye l flathead catfish largemouth bass spotted bass carp white bass paddlefish white crappie sunfish blue catfish freshwater drum buffalo The principal fishing areas on the Neosho River are generally restricted to adjacent towns, road crossings, low water or overflow dams and reservoir tailwaters. The most popular areas within 100 river miles downstream of the John Redmond Dam are the John Redmond Dam stilling basin area and dams at the cities of Burlington, LeRoy, Neosho Falls, Iola, Humboldt, Erie and Chanute (Jirak, 1979; Ray, 1976). Although recreational fish harvest estimates for the Neosho River and its tributaries are not available, angler utiliza-tion of these waters has been reported (Ray, 1976). The estimated angler use for the 100 miles of the Neosho River below the John Redmond Dam and for the 24 anglable tributaries is estimated to be approximately 54,0 ) man-days per year. The catch rate from these waters is expected to be similar to the regional lake harvest objective of approximately two fish per man-day, each weighing 1/2 pound (Brunson, 1979). Based on these estimates the annual harvest from these waters was determined to be approximately 54,000 pounds (24.5 metric tons). No data were available concerning the amount of sport fish cons um ed locally. Fishermen residing beyond the 50-mile radius area from the WCGS will likely fish within the area and, therefore, only a portion of the harvest would be expected to be consumed locally. 2.1.3.5 Water Use Within 5 Miles 2.1.3.5.1 Municipal, Ind us t r i al , Irrigation and Recreation Uses All sur face wa ter rights within 5 miles of the site, except for two, are located on the Neosho River upstream.of the confluence with Wolf Creek. Of the two remaining water rights, one is located on Long Creek, in the adjacent water-shed east of the site; the other water right is held by the Applicants for storage of natural flows on Wolf Creek. The water rights on the Neosho River between Wolf Creek and the John Redmond Dam are held for municipal, ind us t r ial , irrigation and recreation use. The municipal water rights are for the City of Burlington and Coffey County Rural Water Districts 2 and 3; the industri.. water rights are held by 2.1-24

WCGS-ER(OLS) ) V The total costs for the various scenarios and the benefits derived from the use of the lake are summarized in Table 2.8-1. The benefit-cost ratios developed in that table show - that the public would benefit from the use of the WCGS cool-ing lake for only scenario three. 2.8.3 USE OF WCGS LAND The applicants have purchased 11,882 acres in association with the WCGS project. Property actually necessary for the project within the site boundary totals 9818 acres. Several farmers would only sell their property within the site boundary by selling their entire farm or. would only allow right-of-way access if the entire acreage through which right-of-way was desired was purchased. The acres outside the site boundary are being utilized to the extent possible
- as they were prior to their purchase.
2.8.3.1 Exclusion Area The applicants own all land within the 1200 meter exclusion l area surrounding the WCGS reactor and have the authority to determine all activities inside the area. The majority of x the 1118 acre exclusion area is water surface extending over the cooling lake and station structures occupy a large portion of the remainder.- See Figure 2.1-6. The ' balance of the land within the exclusion a,ea will not be utilized for agricultural purposes. Selective land management practices will be utilized as necessary to con-trol vegetation growth for plant security areas and the remaining land in the exclusion area. 2.8.3.2 Land Outside of the Exclusion Area
! Approximately 4200 acres are within the WCGS site boundary but outside of areas occupied by the lake, dam and exclusion area. To the extent practical, this land will be used for agricultural purposes.
A buffer zone of natural vegetation will be retained eround the lake. The remaining 3700 acres of cropland and range-land will be continued in agricultural production if prac-tical. 2.8.4 WCGS LAND USE
SUMMARY
AND CONCLUSIONS The 9818 acres of Coffey County, Kansas land within the WCGS site boundary is comprised of 5090 acres of water at the cooling lake normal pool elevation of 1087 feet and 4728 l (, / acres of land. 1 Rev. 2 2.8-5 6/81
WCGS.En(OLS) 2.8.4.1 Cooling Lake Public use of the WCGS cooling lake hnd evacuation, security and operational considerations for the use of the lake are discussed in Section 2.8.2. The henefit-cost ratios devel-oped for public use of the lake show that it is beneficial to develop the lake into a recreational facility for only one of the evaluated scenarios. This scenario assumes public boating is allowed on the lake and also assumes the fishery is developed with State assistance. A significant portion of that benefit (42%) is derived from using the lake as a fishery with State stocking of trophy fish increasing use by the public. Only about 33% of the benefit of the lake use is derived from uses for which there is a demand in the region-swimming, boating, camping, and picnicking. As stated in Appendix 2A there is a surplus of fishing opportunities in the region surrounding WCGS, as well as for the state, and this surplus will persist well into the fu-ture. Additionally, although the Appendix 2A citing of a Kansas fish preference survey says the results must be interpreted with caution, there is an apparent low prefer-ence for trophy fishing in Kansas. Consequently, the Appli-cants will not commit to a long term use of the cooling lake whose main benefit will be derived from fishing by the Kansas public that already have an abundance of fishing available and exhibit a low preference for the additional trophy fishing that would develop in the lake. The Applicants are continuing with their fish stocking program to establish desirable fish species in the lake. 2.8.4.2 Land Land outside the exclusion area and above the cooling lake normal pool level, but inside the WCGS site property, will be utilized to the extent practical as it was prior to its pur-chase for the WCGS site.

Figure 3.1.1 is an oblique aerial photograph of the site looking to the east'and Figure 3.1-2 is an overhead aerial photograph of the site. These photos were taken in April 1979. Figures 3.1-2a and 3.1-2b are aerial photographs taken in February 1981. Lake filling began in November 1980 and Figure 3.1-2b shows an impoundment of about 1200 surface acres of water. The main vertical element in the composition of the power
~
block is the reactor building. The reactor building houses a pressurized water reactor (PWR) and associated reactor coolant and ventilation systems. Interconnecting structures include the fuel building, control building, auxiliary
-~s building, the diesel generator building, and the turbine
( )
\s_,/ building. The radwaste building is located nearby, facing the fuel building. The turbine building, a horizontal structure, has a lower profile than the reactor building.
Its steel structure has metal siding. Also included among the power block structures are the condensate storage tank, the refueling water storage tank, the reactor makeup water storage tank, the demineralized water tank, the emergency fuel oil storage tanks, and several transformer vaults which are located around the power block structures as shown in Figure 2.1-4. The major non-power block structures include the ad-ministration building, the Technical Support Center, the switchyard, the shop building, the security building, the sewage treatment plant, the warehouse, the circulating water pumphouse, the circulating water discharge structure, and the essential service water pumphouse. Also located around the site complex are several storage tanks and small buildings for storage of acid, compressed gases, water, and fuel oil. These items are shown on Figure 2.1-4. The Emergency Operations Facility, Simulator, Vistors Center complex is located about 2 3/4 miles northwest of the station as shown in Figure 2.1-6. Railroad sidings are installed to serve the fuel and turbine buildings. The main access rail-
/T road leads into the site from the north and branches into i\- 'j several spurs which provide access to the outlying structures and encircle the principal building complex. Designations of the plant perimeter and exclusion area boundary are shown in Figure 2.1-6 Rev. 2 3.1-1 6/81
l wCcS-rR(Or.S) 3.1.2 ARCHITECTURAT. FEATURPS AND AESTHPTIC CONSIDPRATIOFS The layout of the facility was planned to achieve a blend of functional and aesthetic considerations. The plant arrangenent and structural design are coordinated to establish continuity and to provide both a balance and symmetry of design and a pleasing appearance. The various site components such as structures, equipment, parking, and railroad spurs are organized in a neat, functional nanner with a minimum of visual clutter. Land-scaping is planned where possible, to complement plant appearance. In summary, this is an industrial facility whose plant facilities and grounds have been designed to be visually pleasing and compatible with the surrounding environment. 3.1.3 GASEOUS AND LIOUID PELEASE POINTS There are two potential rel ea se points for radioactive gaseous effluents from the station: the reactor building and the radwaste building. The vents fo r these buildinos through which the ef fluents exhaust extend 10 feet above the roofs of these buildings and stand 218 feet and 64 feet above the plant grade elevation. Liquid radioactive wastes disch arged from the plant are released from the station into the cooling lake via the circulating water discharge structure. The locations of the release points are shown in Figure 3.1-3. O 3.1-2

) 3.4.1 GENERAL The Wolf Creek Generating Stat. ion, Unit No. 1,(WCCS) coolinq l system is designed to support two 1150-MWe pressurized water reactors (PWR) operating at a 100 percent average annual load factorg for normal conditions. At this rate, a maximum of 8.0 X 10 Btu of beat per hour per unit will be dissipated g in the cooling lake. The heat will be dissipated through evaporation, convection, and radiation for the systems shown on Figure 3.4-1.
3.4.2 COOLING LAKE The station cooling lake is formed by one main earth-rolled dam across Wolf Creek and five perimeter saddle dams. The cooling lake, peripheral dams, dikes, intornal canals, and outlet works are shown on Figure 2.1-5. Llans cf the service spillway and the outlet works are shown on Figures 3.4-2 and 3.4-3. The top of the main dam is at elevation 1100 feet above mean sea level- (MSL) . Each dam has a 3 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) slope on both the upstream and downstream faces. The upstream slope of each dam is riprapped for /N protection against wind-generated wave erosion while the downstream slope is seeded. The top of the main dam is l (N -) riprapped to prevent erosion. A service spillway and an auxiliary spillway on the east abutment of the main dam are designed to accommodate the probable maximum flood. The service spillway is an uncon-trolled, concrete, ogee-crested semicircular spillway. The auxiliary spillway is located about 1500 feet east of the service spillway and is an open-cut type. A low-level outlet works is located near the west abutment of the main dam. The outlet works is provided with a 60-inch diameter outlet pipe. A 30-inch diameter blowdown pipe branches from the outlet pipe. The low-level outlet works is designed to blowdown water (from 0 to 60 cfs) to regulate the water quality of the cooling lake. In addition, the low-level outlet works enable drainage of the cooling lake to permit inspection and repairs of the main dam. 3.4.3 INTAKE AND DISCl!ARGE STRUCTURES 3.4.3.1 Makeup Fater s Makeup water for the WCGS cooling lake is drawn from the j Neosho River immediately downstream from the John Redmond y ,/ Reservoir. A makeup water screen house is situated on j Rev. 2 3.4-1 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) the east bank of the river downstream of John Redmond Reservoir and contains one bar grill, three vertical travel-ing screens, and three vertical wet-pit pumps, each with a normal operation capacity of 40 to 60 cfs. The three pumps in parallel have a maximum capacity of 170 cfs when the river elevation at the pumphouse is at flood stage. Two auxiliary raw water pumps, each with a capacity of 400 gpm, are located in the makeup screen house to provide makeup to the plant, potable water and demineralizer water systems when the makeup water pumps are not operating. A general arrangement of the makeup water screen house is shown in Figures 3.4-4 and 3.4-5. The existing Corps of Engineers low-flow channel located on the west side of the river has not been altered and will continue to function as it does at the present time. A recently excavated channel downstream of the stilling basin (see Figure 3.4-6) on the east side of the river suptties makeup water to the screen house during normal coniitions. This channel can be fed by a 42-inch diameter pipe connected with John Redmond Dam during times the still-ing basin is under repair. The screen house bar grill, located at the inlet of the intake bays, is composed of 1-inch vertical bars spaced at 3-inch intervals. Each intake bay is approximately 11 feet 2 inches wide. Each screen is 10 feet wide. The intake structure floor is located at an elevation of 995 feet MSL. The vertical screens, operated intermittently, are back-washed with water drawn from the Neosho River. This screen wash system is activated normally by a timer or automatically from a high-differential pressure switch. Screen mesh size is 0.375 inch. Trash collected on the traveling screens is backwashed to a trash basket where it is strained and collected. The trash is manually disposed of offsite. There are no provisions for returning fish that survive impingement to the Neosho River, but the intake velocity of 0.5 feet per second at the low water-level minimizes fish impingement. Makeup water from the screen house is pumped through a 54-inch diameter pipe and discharges into the Wolf Creek cooling lake at the makeup water discharge structure located on the western shore of the cooling lake (see Figure 2.1-5). A plan and section view of the discharge structure is shown on Figure 3.4-7. Two raw water pumps located in this dis-charge structure supply water to the steam cycle makeup system and the potable water system. O 3.4-2 1
WCGS-ER(OLS) [ } 3.4.3.2 Circulating Water NJ The locat. ion of the circulating water screen house at the WCGS is shown on Figure 2.1-5. Plan and elevati~on' drawings of this structure are shown on Figures 3.4-8 and 3.4-9. The circulating water screen house structure for Unit 1 houses three circulating water pumps. Under normal con-ditions all three pumps will be operating at a total capacicy of 1114 cfs. Three service wrter pumps are also housed in the circulating water screen house structure. Normally, two service water pumps will be operating at a total capacity of 90 cfs, with one pump serving as a standby. A low-flow and startup pump with a capacity of 14.5 cfs is also provided for the service water system. The Circulating Water screenhouse sump floor is located at an elevation fo 1058 feet MSL. A steel plate is provided at the sump inlet of the Screenhouse as a weather protection device (Figure 3.4-9). This steel plate extends from elevation 1075 feet MSL, upwards to the operating floor, 1092 feet MSL. The velocitics of circulating water and service water flow downstream of
/'"N the steel plate are essentially independent of cooling lake water level. %( /)
Based on a total (circulating water and service water combined) flow rate of 1204 cfs for one unit, the average inlet water velocities are calculated to be: Approach velocity to the 0.87 feet Screenhouse: per second Velocity through the bar 1.06 feet grill: per second Approach velocity to the 1.06 feet traveling screens: per second Velocity through the 1.95 feet traveling screens: per second The circulating water screen house contains a bar grill, conventional traveling screens, strainers, and fire pumps (one diesel and one electric motor driven). The traveling screens will operate the same as the makeup water screen house traveling screens described _in Section 3.4.3.1. l

WCC.S-ER(OLS) takes approximately 38 days to travel from the discharge to tiie intake, based on an effective cooling volume of 91,000 acre-feet and a total flow rate of 1204 cfs (the total volume of circulating water and service water required for one-unit operation at 100 percent average annual load factor).

- 3.4.4 THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The1 temperature rise across the condenser for each 1150 MWe unit'is.31.5.F based on9 the circulating water heat rejection. rate of 7.87 x 10 Btu /hr and circulating water flow rate of 1114 cfs at 100 percent average ar.nual load
' factor. The condenser has three sections: low pressure, i
intermediate pressure,.and high pressure. Total effective tube length for the-three sections in series is approx-imately 140 feet.- With a tube flow velocity of 8.0 feet i per second, the travel time for water across the condenser is about 18 seconds. Sargent & Lundy's LAKET computer model has been used to calculate the cooling lake temperature distribution. This-model simulates the effects of varying weather conditions and plant heated-water discharge on the surface temperature and evaporation rates of a lake. The time-varying tempera-4 .ture distribution along the water body's central axis is [ computed against time, and the natural and forced evaporation (, rates and the variation in the lake level are also computed. !~ At the normal operating pool elevation of 1087 feet MSL, the gross surface area of the cooling lake is 5090 acres, and the' effective cooling area is 4330 acres. Elevation / area-capacity information for the Wolf Creek cooling lake 4 is shown on Figure 3.3-2. Hy'draulic and thermal balances are used together with the
- energy budget method to determine evaporation from the lake. The energy budget method takes into account such factors as solar radiation, reflected solar radiation,
~ andlenergy transferred from the lake to the atmosphere. i Maximum temperatures at various locations in the cooling lake with one unit operating at 100 and two units operating at 88.5 percent average annual load factor are shown in Figures 3.4-11 and 3.4-12. The location points are shown in Figure 3.4-13 along with the distances from the plant discharge point along the circulating water flow path line to 'each location point. These maximum temperatures corre-4 spond to lake temperatures that occurred less than 1 percent of the time during the 16 years of analysis (1949-1964). A cumulative profile of temperature distributio.. for various 1 O locations in the cooling lake is presented in Taale 3.4-1. For each location, the table gives the maximum temperature i ! 3.4-4
1 WCGS-ER(OLS) l l and the temperatures that occurred at a frequency of 1, 5 and 50 percent of the time based on the 16 years of calculated data. The temperature provided at N percent (where N is 1, 5, or 50) frequency is interpreted as a base temperature where N percent of all temperatures calcu-lated were higher than this temperature. (For example, at 5 percent occurrence, 5 percent of all temperatures calculated were higher than the base temperature.) Con-versely, 95 percent of all temperatures recorded were lower than the base temperature. Seasonal upper 1 percentile and 50 percentile temperature distributions in the cooling lake at the locations identified in Figure 3.4-13 are given in Tables 3.4-2 and 3.4-3. Table 3.4-1 shows that the maximum plant nlet temperatur^s for one-unit operation at 100 percent average annual load factor do not exceed the design maximum plant inlet temper-ature of 95 F established by essential service water intake requirements. Table 3.4-1 also shows the same result for two-unit operation at 38.5 percent average annual load factor. The maximum natural cooling lake temperature simulated for the 16-year data period is 87.2 F for one-unit operation and 87.4 F for two-unit operation. Natural temperatures are the cooling lake temperatures that would exist at zero load and are assumed to be constant throughout the cooling lake. They differ for one- and two-unit operation because the water mass following 16 years of operation differs. Because natural temperatures are dependent on the total mass of water in the cooling lake, the natural temperatures on an aggregate time basis are indirectly dependent on load, and the recorded maximum natural lake temperatures for one- and twc-unit operation are not identical. Figure 3.4-14 presents the simulated natural ter perature variation in the cooling lake for one-unit operation. The total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration in the cooling lake increases as the water evaporates. Tables 3.4-4 and 3.4-5 show the evaporation rates for one- and two-unit operation. A balance between consumptive water losses (such as evaporation) and replenishment sources (such as
- makeup, rainfall, and runoff), which vary with seasonal l and operational characteristics, determines the extent of the TDS buildup and reduction. A complete discussion of total dissolved solids is presented in Section 3.6.

;- The following sections discuss the chemicals.used in these
- water treatment-systems.
T . 3. 6. 3.1. Pretreatment System The pretreatment system for the potable. water and demineral-ized water systems consists of'one chlorinator,la chlorine 4- retention tank, two ferric sulfate pre-mix tanks, two lime softeners (one.a spare), one acid feed (pH adjustment) system, one clear well', three' sand-filters (one-a. spare), three carbon' filters (one a spare), and one filtered water storage tank.
- During normal plant operation, the system operates inter-1 .mittently.
~
The chlor'inator, lime' softener, and acid feed system operate u at 1000 gpm'for approximately 30 min / day.- The two carbon I filters (one a spare) and two sand filters (one a spare) ! each operate at 167.to 250 gpm for approximately180 min / day. i- Blowdown from the lime softener and the carbon and sand filter 1 produces all of the waste generated in the pretreatment system. The lime-softener blowdown rate is 50 gpm for 4 minutes for
- each 20 minutes of operation. Blowdown consists of 3 percent solids by' weight. Solids are composed of 97.8 percent' calcium
- carbonate (CACO ), 0.36 percent magnesium hydroxide
- 3 and 1.8_ percent ferric hydroxide (Fe [OH] . The blowdown (Mg[OH)2)'l 1 is discharged-into the lime sludge pond, w$)ich is sized to , contain all the influent for one-unit operation. l l .The carbon and sand filters are backflushed for about 10
- minutes once every 7 days. Each carbon filter requires 5660 - ;
j- gallons of backwash water, and each sand filter requires ! 3410 gallons of backwash water. The backwash is discharged [ into the lime sludge pond. i L 3.6.3.2 Demineralizer System The demineralizer system consists of two parallel deminer-l alizer~ trains (one a spare), each designed to produce a min-4 imum of 216,000 gallons of demineralized water in a 24-hour . period. Each' train operates at 150 gpm and requires regen-eration every 13 days. During normal operation, one train l . is used approximately 2 hr/ day. Each demineralizer train consists of a strong acid cation unit, weak base and strong base anion units, and a mixed bed polisher. The mixed bed polisher requires one regener-ation for every 14 regenerations of the train. The chemicals Rev. 2 3.6-5 6/81 l l p ---,-m , ,-,.nn-,.,,--w,--,. - -- , -,.e --n., v ,r,,,.e.,w-wm- -r,.,,,.,re-,,,w, ,,,-,-a,-,., _-...wnv,..- -,,,--,-,-r,-e-v--
WCGS-E R (OLS ) used to regenerate a train and a mixed bed polisher are given in Table 3.6-2. The amount of water used to regenerate the primary unite is 35,600 gallons per regeneration. The mixed bed units require 7,523 gallons per regeneration. Impurities removed by the demineralizers are listed in Table 3.6-6. Waste produced during regeneration (regenerates anC impuri-ties) is discharged to the lime sludge pond. 3.6.4 SERVICE WATER SYSTEM Service water used to cool plant equipment is withdrawn from the cooling lake at a flow rate of 90 cfs per unit. Of the total flow, 83 cfs is circulated through the plant, and re-turned to the cooling lake; the remaining 7 cfs is used as backwash water for traveling screens and strainers and is also returned to the cooling lake. The service water is chlorinated in the same manner and for the same reasons as the circulating water (see Section 3.6.2.1). The feed rate is carefully monitored so that the amount of chlorine added is only slightly greater than the chlorine demand of the water. The free chlorine residual concentra-tion is maintained between 0.1 and 0.5 mg/ liter at the service water discharge. Free chlorine residual dissipates rapidly when discharged to the cooling lake and will therefore have little effect on the lake. The predicted chlorine usage for the service water system is approximately 100 lb/ day per unit 3.6.5 ESSENTIAL SERVICE WATER SYSTEM Essential service water is withdrawn from the cooling lake at a flow rate of 33.5 cfs per unit, circulated through the plant, and returned to the cooling lake. There is no chem-ical treatment of the essential service water. 3.6.6 SANITARY WATER SYSTEM Water used for plant sanitary purposes is treated in a sewage treatment system, and the effluent is treated with sodium hypochlorite. The sodium hypochlorite is added as a 15% solution with water with a maximum free chlorine residual of 1 mg/ liter. 3.6.7 AUXILIARY STEAM SYSTEM Blowdown from the auxiliary steam system is discharged to the oily waste system sump. The typical chemicals added for boiler water treatment of the auxiliary steam system are described in Table 3.6-3. t 3.6-6

Chemically treated water in the p1 ant ~ decontamination' system is not -directly discharged to the -' lake but. treat'ed in the radwaste system and then discharged. _ Typical chemicals.used inithe' decontamination system are Turco Decon 4521, and Turco.
- Decon 4502 (see Table'3.6-3) The resulting decontamination solutions are sent.to the' chemical waste tank. -These wastes are then' transferred to the solid radwasteJsystem and solidified for burial.

- 3. 6 .~ 10.1 Oily Wastes i
. Wastes leaving the' power block, collectively known as the oily waste. system effluent, are discharges to the site oil
- separator. These wastes consist of a mixture of the follow-LO \ i ing liquids:
G a. IIVAC condensates; j
- b. lube oil (vapor extractors);
- c. radiation monitor effluent (circulating water) ;
{ 1 !- d. ~ miscellaneous sources (valve stem leakoffs, com- [ pressed air condensate, equipment seal leakage); i e. ~ domestic water (washdown); I
- f. fire protection; and-
]' - g. auxiliary boiler' blowdown. The actual amount of effluent from any one liquid source is dependent on equipment condition .(seals, packing, etc. ) i and power block operation phase (plant shutdown, normal oper- _ ation, maintenance, etc.). These effluents are discharged
- , from power block sumps to the oil separator via-centrifugal
. sump pumps. They have a batch flow rate of approximately 100 gpm. The average duration and frequency of discharge
- is 1 minute, 9 times per hour during normal operation and l 15 times'per hour during plant shutdown. The effluent could 3 f. consist of all, a combination of, or a single component of

WCGS-ER (OLS) these liquids. The oily waste separator receives these ef-fluents, along with drainage frcm various yard and equip-ment drains. The oily waste separator separates the oils from the water using their density difference. The condensate /feedwater leakage is normally routed to the secondary liquid radwaste system for internal processing and recycling. In the event of a fire and subsequent fire protection system actuation, the sprinkler discharge water and a condensate / feed-water mixture will be discharged to the cite collection system, but 10 hours of flow (approximately 2000 gpm) can be held if it is not possible to discharge to the site collection system immediately. The fire protection water discharged during a fire will contain an increased amount of contam-inants (solids and dissolved products of combustion), the composition and quantity of which are general.ly undeter-minable. The domestic water source (washdown) is normally zero but may increase to as much as 10 to 50 gpm during power block shutdown-maintenance operations. Closed cooling uater has not been included because all pumps have mechanical seals (zero leakage anticipated) and all drains are capped. Any closed cooling water maintenance drainage is collected ir, portable containers for recycling or disposal. The amounts of effluents during normal, design, and worst conditions are indicated in Table 3.6-7. Worst condition refers to occurrences such as tank overflows. The miscellaneous sources previously mentioned are approxi-mately 75% c.irculating water and 25% domestic water. To prevent corrosion in the power block system, potassiuna chro-mate is added to the component cooling water and closed cool-ino water systems. A similar inhibitor is added to the chilled water system. With good maintenance and housekeeping, none of the corrosion inhibitor fluid will be discharged (see Table 3.6-3). 3.6.10.2 " ansformer Vault Effluents Transformer ffluents could be discharged from the service station ano engineered safety feature (ESP) transformer, the main and unit auxiliary transformer, and the start-up transformer. Normally, effluent release will be due to rainwater accumulation in the vaulta and is controlled by normally closing a manual valve. Should an oil spill occur, the oil can be pumped out with a portable pump in lieu of draining it out through the valve. The amounts of effluents during normal, design, and worst conditions are indicated in Table 3.6-7. 3.6-8

3.9.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION -
+ c Except for minor modifications noted in the following dis- !
cussions, the routes, stru;tures and clearing methods are as originally described. in Section '3.9 of the Environmental Report - Construction Permit Stage (ER(CPS)). The transmis-sion lines described herein are the preferred routes defined in that original document. The WCGS required construction of transmission line inter-connections to +he.KG&E and KCPL systems (Figures 3.9-1 and 3.9-2). The connection to the KG&E system is'a 345-kV line extending 97.6 miles in a west-southwest direction from the generating station substation to the existing KG&E Rose Hill Substation. The interconnection!to the KCPL-system is a 345-kV line extending northeast 49.2 miles to where it enters an l l existing transmission line' corridor which was widened to ' accomodate the additional line. The' transmission line then continues along this dual corridor for 7.2 miles 'to ~ West I Gardner Substation. ( The KEPCo system will continue to be served by existing 'O interconnections at KG&E an'd' KCPL- substations with the F/ exception of the construction'by-the Coffe'y County REC of a' [, V 69-kV line from WCGS to the Phillips Petroleum Company pipeline pumping station near Sharpe, Kansas, KG&E constructed a four mile long 69-kV tap from the Athens-Burling, ton line to the WCGS. 3.

OF TRANSMISSION RIGHTS-OF-WAY 3.9.2.1 Wolf Creek-Rose Hill Transmission Line The right-of-way for the Wolf Creek-Rose Hill transmission line shown in Figure 3.9-1 extends 97.6 mile's from the Wolf Creek Substation to the Rose Hill Substation. The 345-kV the single circuit line is carried for the maj ority of transmission route on wooden H frame structures. Transmis-sion line structures are discussed in more detail in Section
~~
3.9.3. The width of 'the Wolf Creek-Rose Hill right-of-way required to accomodate the 345-kV line is 150 feet. To construct the Wolf' Creek-Rose Hill line, right-of-way agree-ments for access to 1775 acres are required. The total acreagc required for the Wolf Creek Substation is 10.3 acres. T T %. . Cs) Rev. 2 3.9-1 ' 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) l 3.9.2.2 Wolf Creek-West Gardner Transmission Line l The right-of-way for the Wolf Creek-West Gardner .transmis-sion line shown in Figure 3.9-1 extends 49.2 miles from Wolf Creek Substation in a 160 foot wide right-of-way corridor where it enters a dual transmission line corridor 260 feet wide with the LaCygne-Craig 345-kV transmission line for 7.2 miles. The 7.2 mile dual transmission line corridor was widened from 160 feet to accommodate the additional line. The 345-kV single circuit line will be carried on wooden H frame structures for the majority of the transmission route. Transmission line structures are discussed in more detail in Section 3.9.3. To construct the 56.4 mile Wolf Creek-West Gardner transmission line, right-of-way agreements for access to 1041 acres are required. 3.9.2.3 Wolf Creek Tap of Athens-Burlington Transmission Line The right-of-way for the 69-kV Wolf Creek tap of the Athens-
.Burlington line (F.igure 3.9-2) extends east out of the Wolf Creek Substation, then south and east along the cooling lake to connect to the existing Athens-Burlington line. The total length of this line is 4.05 miles. The width.of the right-of-way to accommodate -the 69-kV line is 50 feet. Only one-quarter mile of the line is outside the site property boundary requiring right-of-way agreements for access to 1.51 acres.
3.9.2.4 Wolf Creek to Coffey County REC Transmission Line The right-of-way for the 69-kV line from Wolf Creek to the Coffey County REC extends east out of the Wolf Creek Substa-tion, then north to connect with the ahillips Petroleum Company pipeline pumping station near Sharpe, Kansas. The total length of this line is .approximately three miles. The width of the right-of-way for :the 69-kV line is 100 feet. Right-of-way agreements were obtained with KG&E and other property owners along the line right-of-way. 3.9.2.5 Land Use Classifications l The land classification types crossed .by the transmission lines are those described in the :ER(CPS) . . Additional land classification has been accomplished since then by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service-(SCS) for the national program of inventorying prime and unique farmland .(SCS, .1979) . Transmission lines from WCGS pass through seven counties of Kansas. Soil types classified as prime farmland by the Rev. 2 3.9-2 6/81

Creek-West Gardner'right-of-way. Only land that is required for the foundations of the trans-mission towers will be removed from production. Therefore, the majority of the transmission corridor 'will continue to ~
- be used for agricultural-purposes and no significant removal

- 3.9.3' GENERAL DESIGN AND SELECTION OF STRUCTURES i
l Transmission tower structures are planned for use as de-scribed in the ER(CPS) Section 3.9.3. The wooden H frame ' structures are used to support nearly all of the transmis-sion lines and are treated with pentachlorophenol oil in l lieu of cellon asfdescribed in theThus, ER(CPS). The oil treated I structures age less rapidly. the potential for en-vironmental disturbance is reduced due to less required tower repair and replacement after the lines are initially put into service. Cellon was originally chosen because it was felt that the structures treated with cellon, which -age f' to a natural gray, would more readily - blend into the sky-line. However, the actual difference in the ability of either pole to blend into the environment is not markedly l different. The visible impact of the transmission lines ! has, however, been reduced where feasible ' by routing the lines so that they are screened by trees and hills. ! 3.9.4 GENERAL TREATMENT OF RIGHTS-OF-WAY Access, treatments at highway and river crossings and main-tenance practices for the. transmission lines are as dis-cussed in the ER(CPS) Section 3.9.3 except as noted below. Herbicides used to maintain transmission rights-of-way will be only those herbicides approved for use at the time of such maintenance by the EPA and the Kansas Weed and Pesticide Division of the Kansas State Department of Agriculture.

Substantially more biological data are available now from our aquatic ecology monitoring programs (Section 2.2.2) to evaluate what biota will inhabit the cooling lake. The effects of station operation discussed in Section 5.1 of the ER (CPS) were reexamined because the cooling lake temperature distributions pre-sented in Section 3.4.4 of this report vary from temperatures presented in the ER (CPS). The new temperature distributions resulted from higher plant capacity factors used in Sargent & Lundy's LAKET computer program (Section 3.4.4). The following sections discuss the effects of various operational features of the heat dissipation system on aquatic biota in the cooling lake, Wolf Creek, and the Neosho River. The effects of biocide and chemical discharges are discussed in Section 5.3. The discussions are based on current literature and available information on the biological composition of the cooling lake, Wolf Creek, and the Neosho River. 5.1.3.2 Effects of Released Heat 5.1.3.2.1 Cooling Lake The cooling lake will have an area of 5,090 acres of which 4,330 acres will be thermally altered.

WCGS-ER(OLS)- ( 5.2 RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT FROM ROUTINE OPERATION L- .
. Normal operation of. the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) will result in the release of only very low level liquid and gaseous . radioactive discharges. In order to evaluate any potential impact from these releases, the dose contribution i of the radioactive materials in the environment was predict-ed on the basis of terrestrial and aquatic pathways dis-cussed in this section and in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Environmental . Repo rt-Cons truction Permit Stage (ER(CPS)).
In summary, negligible radiological impact is expected on man and the aquatic biota or terrestrial mammals as a result of .the quantity of radionuclides to be released from the WCGS. A detailed discussion of important dose pathways and resultant exposure rates was presented in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 ~ of the EF(CPS) and is updated below. An update of this section was necessitated to reevaluate the potential impact from liquid and gaseous radioactive effluent discharges using the -NRC computer codes GASPAR and LADTAP II. This i update is based on a full three years of meteorological data collected at WCGS and a revised set of liquid source terms which are being incorporated into Section 3.5 at this time. The NRC computer codes used in this revision are based on
/Q the methods and model s outlined in Regulatory Guides 1.109, 1.111 and 1.113.
5.2.1 EXPOSURS PATHWAYS 5.2.1.1 Exposure Pathways for Radiation Exposure of Biota Other Than Man Dose rate estimates to biota as herein presented should be considered extremely conservative since they are predicated on the following assumptions:
- 1. Liquid discharges are diluted only by the circulating cooling water. No credit was 4
taken for further reduction of radionuclide i concentrations in the cooling lake;
- 2. Buildup of the radionuclides in the cooling lake over the period of the life of the plant; i
- 3. Aquatic organisms are continuously submerged at the point of discharge to the cooling lake;
- 4. Predatory species obtain their entire diet
( ) from primary organisms in equilibrium with water at effluent concentrations. Rev. 2 5.2-1 6/81 i

WCGS-ER(OLS) Liq uid and gaseous releases will result in radiation coses to aquatic and terrestrial biota through pathways summarized in Figure 5.2-1. Many of the pathways of exposure for biota are similar to those for man. These pathways include inges-tion of water and aquatic foods, submersion in air, immer-sion in water and exposure to sediments and shorelines. Other pathways such as inhalation and direct radiation from air deposition of radionuclides on soils are not considered significant fo r inclusion in the total dose to such organ-isms. Pathways of expoaure from liquid ef fluents are gener-ally the most significant contributors Because to radiation aquatic dosecan organisms to organisms other than man. actively concentrate some radionuclides, these food chain components are potentially the most important contributors The impact to radiation dose to terrestrial animals. through the food chain pathway is expected to reach a maxi-mum in predatory species such as muskrats, raccoons and herons which could conceivably obtain their total diet from aquatic organisms in equilibrium with water at ef fluent con-centrations. The dose rate estimates for biota other than man are discussed in Section 5.2.3. 5.2.1.2 Exposure Pathways to Man Radioactive effluents from the WCGS will become distributed throughout the
- 3rrestrial ecosystem by dispe rsion of gas-cous releases, deposition of radioactive particulates and dilution of liquid radioactive discharges. Liquid and gas-cous releases will result in radiation doses to man through pathways summarized in Figure 5.2-2.
Gaseous exposure pathways to man include:
- 1. Submersion in the cloud of gaseous effluents;
- 2. Inhalation of gaseous effluents;
- 3. Direct radiation exposure from radionuclide deposition on vegetation, soil and exposed surfaces; and
- 4. Ingestion of contaminated food chain compon-ents.
The annual individual dose from nob le gases was evaluated in each of the 16 directional secto rs around the plant at the Exclusion-Restricted Area Boundary (.75 miles), to evaluate cloud subme rsion and air dose from beta and gamma radiations. Also the calculated population dose rates from subme rsion in gaseous effluents were evaluated within a 50 mile radius of the plant. Radioactive iodine and pa r-ticulate gaseous pathway doses were evaluated for a hypo-thetical wors t case and fo r the controlling existing resi-dont in the prevailing X/O sector which is north. The l Rev. 2 5.2-2 6/81 l

-miles) with members of each age group present and all path-ways present. The controlling existing resident lives 1.4 miles north of the plant and was evaluated as the maximum existing case. The dose rate estimates for man are pre-sented in Section 5.2.4.
Liquid exposure pathways to man include: 1
- 1. Internal exposure from ingestion of water or contaminated food chain components;
- 2. External exposure from contaminated water or shoreline sediment.
Dose rate estimates to maximum individuals from liquid effluent concentrations were evaluated at the circulating
' water discharge point.
Water is not available for public consumption at the plant site and no population or individual exposure is expected from this pathway. Although recreational uses of the cool-ing lake are not planned it is conservatively assumed that individual exposures from swimming, boating, fishing or ps ingestion of fish could result. t ) (/ Discharge water concentrations, bioaccumulation factors, and ingestion rates were used to estimate internal dose rates. Although such activities may not be allowed on the lake, external dose rates were estimated for individuals boating or swimming in the vicinity of the discharge. The exposure rate from contaminated shorelice sediments was also calcu-lated. Evaluation of each pathway is based on maximizing condi-tions. No credit was taken for dilution of the effluents in the cooling lake; buildup of the radionuclides in the lake over the life of the plant is assumed; all interactions are assumed to occur with radionuclido concentrations as they will occur at the point of discharge. Aquatic food chain elements are assumed to be in equilibrium with discharge concentrations prior to consumption. Since any swimming, boating, or fishing activities, if allowed, would be expected to be conducted in places in the cooling lake other than at the discharge point, evaluation of this path-way provides an upper estimate of the potential dose. Dose rate estimates to maximum individuals and the popula-tion of the town of Le Roy were also evaluated for exposure from liquid ef fluent concentrations. I t / Important aquatic pathways for consideration are summarized V in Figure 5.2-2. Rev. 2 5.2-3 6/81
WCGS-CR(OLS) 5.2.2 RADIOACTIVITY IN TiiE ENVIRONMENT Estimated gaseous and l iquid effluents from the WCGS are l presented in Section 3.5. On-site meteorological data collected over three full years l was used to predict gaseous effluent distribution in the environment. Both the PUFF and straight-line Gaussian dis-persion models, described in Regulatory Guide 1.111, were used for determination of ground level and mixed mode annua) average diffusion estimates. Resultant CllI/Q values are summarized fo r each sector in Table 5.2-1. For estimation of offluent dispersion a combination of both a mixed mode and ground-level release was assumed. The meteorological data indicates that maximum concentrations would Im expected to occur in the north sector. Gaseous dose calculations were done using GASPAR computer code. Dose calculation models used in GASPAR are outlined in Regulatory Guides 1.109 and 1.111. Assumptions used were either site specific or default values taken from the Regulatory Guides. These assumptions are presented in Appendix 5A. Liquid dose calculations were done using LADTAP II computer code. Dose calculation models used in LADTAP II a re out-lined in Regulatory Guides 1.109 and 1.113 for doses to man and USAEC Report WASII-1258 for doses to biota other than man. Site specific va lues were used when available. Default values used were either recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.109 or taken from HERMES USAEC Report HEDL-TME-71-168. The assumptions used in LADTAP II are presented in Appen-dix 5A. Liq uid radioactive releases will be diluted by cooling water with a flow rate of 1114 cfs and service water with a flow rate of 90 cfs for a total discharge of 1204 cfs. This is the only dilution assumed for dose calculations to the max-imum individual interacting with the cooling lake environ-ment. Buildup or reconcentration of the radionuclides in the cooling lake and at the circulating water discharge is taken into consideration over a 40 year plant life expect-ancy. The last five of these years are conside red to be during a drought. The model used for calculating buildup of the radionuclidea in the lake is presented in Appendix SA. The models were taken f rom Regulatory Guide 1.113 and USEPA EPA-520 Radionuclide Accumulation in a Reactor Cooling Lake. The town of Le Roy, Kansas, is the nearest downstream water user intake from WCGS. Dose rates to an individual residing in Le Roy and to the population at Le Roy have been eval-uated. These dcse rates take into consideration a 40 year buildup of radionuclides in the lake and then a further dilution in the Neosho Rive r.

Bioaccumulation factors used to predict uptake of radionuclides by fish and invertebrates I are listed in Table 5.2-3. 5.2.3 DOSE RATE ESTIMATES FOR BIOTA OTIIER TIIAN MAN The 1athways for radiation exposure of biota other than man were discussed in Section 5.2.1.1. For calculation of these dose rates it was assumed that aquatic organisms and terres-trial species live at the circulating water discharge point. Buildup of radionuclides was considered over the 40 year plant life. All food consumed has been grown or has lived in the liquid ef fluent at discharge concentrations. Inter-nal and external dose rates to biota are summarized in Table 5.2-4. The primary aquatic organism, fish, receive an estimated maximum internal exposure of 13.6 mrad /yr and a maximum external exposure of 9.41 mrad /yr. The muskrat is a terrestrial animal which could receive an estimated maximum internal exposure of 51.6 mrad /yr and a maximum external exposure of 6.42 mrad /yr. According to information presented in USAEC report WASil-1258 doses to biota at WCGS are well within expected annuc1 doses / when assuming the organisms live at the discharge point in (v]/ effluent concentrations. While these doses may be experienced by a few organisms which live at the discharge point of the station, the doses received by an entire impulation of aquatic or terrestrial organisms would be significantly less. 5.2.4 DOSE RATE ESTIMATES FOR MAN 5.2.4.1 Liquid Pathways Radionuclide concentrations in the discharge water were calculated based on a total discharge of 1204 cfs. Release rates and resultant radionuclide concentrations are listed in Table 5.2-2. Dose rate estimates to maximum individuals from liquid effluent concentrations were evaluated at the circulating water discharge point. No credit was taken for dilution of the effluents in the cooling lake; buildup of the radionuclides in the lake over a 40 year life expectancy are assumed to occur with radionuclide concentrations as they will occur at the discharge point. Pathways to man are discussed in Section 5.2.1.2. Assumptions used in dose cal-culations are given in Appendix SA. Dose rate estimates were calculated for maximum individuals ' [m) and to the population residing at Le Roy. No credit was (,/ taken for the radionuclides decay during transition between discharge from the lake and Le Roy. Rev. . 5.2-5 6/81 l l
WCGS-ER(OLS) Dose rates to maximum individuals from liquid of fluents are listed in Tables 5.2-5 and 5.2-6. Population doses at Le Roy are listed in Table 5.2-7. The maximum organ and total body doses to individuals re-siding in Le Roy were calculated to be 1.96E-001 mrem /yr to the liver of a child and 1.49E-001 mrem /yr to the total body of an adult, Tab le 5. 2-5. The most significant intern-al doses will be from eating fish (1.29E-001 mrem /yr to the liver of a teenager and 8.92E-002 mrem /yr to the total body of an adult). The most significant external dose rate will be to the skin of a teenager from exposure to radionuclide deposits in shoreline sediments 5.19E-004 mrem /yr. Estimated dose from liquid effluents to the population of Le Roy are presented in Tabic 5.2-7. The maximum organ and total body doses to individuals at the circulating water discharge point were calculated to be 4.27 mrem /yr to the liver of a teenager and 2.95 mrem /yr to the total body of an adult, Table 5.2-6. The most signifi-cant internal doses will be from eating fish (4.19 mrem /yr to the live r of a teenager and 2.90 mrem /yr to the total body of an adult). The most significant external dose ra'.e will be to the skin of a teenager from exposure to radio-nuclide deposits in shoreline sediments 2.52E-002 mrem /yr. 5.2.4.2 Gaseous Pathways The doses from gaseous effluents were calculated assuming intermittent purge operation. Intermittent purge mode re-lease rates were taken from Table 3.5-3. The values of the dispersion and deposition coefficients, X/Q (non-decayed), X/Q (depleted and non-decayed) and D/Q used in the calcula-tions are listed in Table 5.2-1. The north sector was determined to be the prevailing X/O sector for calculating annual dose from noble gases as well as from particulates and iodines. Exposure pathways to man are discussed in Section 5.2.1.2. Assumptions used in these dose calculations are given in Appendix 5A. The annual doses due to normal gaseous effluents from WCGS are listed in Tables 5.2-9a, b and 5.2-10.

) Results of calculdtions Restricted Area Boundary (.75 miles) show the cloud submer-V sion dose to the total body to be 2.2E-002 mrem /yr and 7.24E-002 mrem /yr to the skin in the north sector. The air dose resulted in exposure rates of 3.55E-002 mrad /yr gamma and 1.00E-001 mrad /yr from beta.
Doses attributable to radioactive particulates and iodines-were evaluated at the north sector Exclusion-Restricted Area Bounda ry. A hypothetical worst case assumed members of each age group were present and all pathways were present at the boundary. Members of each age group were assumed - to ingest goat milk rather than cow milk to consider the worst case milk ingestion pathway. The maximum organ and total body dose was 6.51 mrem /yr to the thyroid of an infant and 4.66E-001 mrem /yr to the total body of a child. Doses attributa-ble to the actual controlling existing resident (1.4 miles north sector) for the maximum organ and total body dose were 3.07 mrem /yr to an infants thyroid and 1.94E-001 to the total body of an adult. Calculated population dose rates from submersion in gaseous effluents were predicted based on the population in the year 2000- The results of these calculations are presented in Table 5.2-8. A I 5.2.4.3 Direct Radiation From Facility This_ subject was discussed in Section 5.3.4 of the ER(CPS). Although the source strengths involved have changed slight-ly, the conclusion reached-that negligible annual population exposure would be received in direct radiation from WCGS-has not changed. 5.2.4.4 Annual Population Doses Population dose rates at radial distances are summarized in Table 5.2-8. From these calculations, the average person within_p0 miles of the site would receive an annual dose of 2.9x10 mrem. The actual doses would be much lower due to shielding effects of housing. 5.2.5
SUMMARY
OF ANNUAL RADIATION DOSES Tne design of the WCGS will assure that gaseous and liquid ef fluent concentrations are within the guidelines stated in 10 CPR 20. During reactor operation, actual radionuclide concentrations in the environment will be determined by continuous environmental monitorino. A series of previously discussed tables from Sections 5.2.3 i
\ and 5.2.4 estimate individual, population and biota annual l\j doses from liquid and gaseous ef fluents. A brief summary of Rev. 2 5.2-7 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) calculated total body and thyroid dose rates from liquid and gaseous effluents is presented in Table 5.2-11 for max-imum individual exposures and population exposures. The exposure pathways considered for calculation of doses to man and biota are outlined in Sections 5.2.1.1 and 5.2.1.2. A conformance summary with 10 CPR 50, Appendix I, is out- I lined in Table 5.2-12. 5.

Creek Generating Station -(WCGS) is not expected to cause an
-irreversible commitment of resources beyond that resulting from construction of the plant.- Loss of habitat and effects on the terrestrial community are detailed in Section 4.3 of the Environmental Report-Construction Permit Stage (ER(CPS))
and the impact of thermal and chemical discharges on fish and other forms of aquatic biota is discussed in Section 5.1 and 5.3. Operation of the WCGS will involve irreversible consumption of a certain amount of uranium ore which represents a small fraction of the current- reserves and potential resources of the United States. Fuel consumption for Unit No. 1 of WCGS (operating at a 75 percent load factor) will total approxi-over the 30-year economic life of mately 7328 tons the plant. . Initial 16aof U,0[Ing and the first year of operation will require 545 tons of U O Annual fuel consumption in subsequent ~ years is estimade$. at approximately 219 to 238 tons of U 0 3 8* As of October 1, 1980, the estimate of the U.S. uranium ore l s reserves and potential resources recoverable at $50.00 or less per pound of U 038 is as follows (DOE, 1980): l Tons U 38 0

By conside ring more expensively mined ore the reserves and potential resources of the U.S. are also in-creased.

When this system is in continuous service at 50 percent load, 325,000 gallons per month of No. 2 distillate fuel oil will be committed. Assuming a 15 per-cent plant outage rate, the total yearly consumptive use at 50 percent load is not expected to exceed 585,000 gallons. 5.7.3 REFERENCE DOE, May/ June 1979, Update, Nuclear Power Program Informa-tion and Data: Division of Nuclear Power Development, U.S. Department of Energy.

WCGS-ER(OLS) f O s APPENDIX 5A DOSE CALCULATION MODELS AND ASSUMPTIONS All dose calculations have been revised by means of the NRC computer codes GASPAR and LADTAP II. Computer programs ARRG, CRITR,~GRONK, and FOOD developed at the Pacific North- 4 west Laboratory of Battelle Memorial Institute are no longer being used. The models and assumptions used in LADTAP II and GASPAR are identical or similar to those suggested in NRC Regula tory Guide 1.109. A list of assumptions and paramete rs used for the Wolf Creek site are presented in Table SA-1 for liquid ef fluents and Table SA-2 for gaseous effluents. 5A.1 INTERNAL DOSES TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS Doses to aquatic and terrestrial organisms other than man were calculated using NUREG/CR-1276 LADTAP II "A Computer Program for Calculating Radiation Exposure to Man from Routine Release of Nuclear Reactor Liquid Ef fluents. " The models used by this program are taken from Regulatory Guide 1.113, 1.109 and USAEC publication, WASH-1258. SA.2 DOSE TO HUMANS ( ,) Doses to man from liquid effluents were calculated using NUREG/CR-1276 LADTAP II computer program. The models used by this program are taken from Regulatory Guide 1.113 and 1.109. Doses to man from gaseous effluents were calculated using NUREG-0597 GASPAR - "A Computer Program for the Eval-uation of Radiological Impacts Due to the Release of Radio-active Material to the Atmosphere During Normal Operation of Light Water Reactors." The models used by this program are taken from Regulatory Guide 1.111 and 1.109. SA.3 RECONCENTRATION FORMULA USED TO CALCULATE RECONCENTRA-TION FACTORS FOR LIQUID EFFLUENTS ACCUMULATING IN A REACTOR COOLING LAKE Reconcentration models were based on Reg. Guide 1.113 and USEPA EPA-520 -
"Radionuclide Accumulation in a Reactor Cooling Lake." Calculated reconcentration factors for the lake and at the circulating water discharge are presented in Table SA-3, Reconcentration was determined as follows:

WCGS-ER (OLS ) fN 7.3 0THER' ACCIDENTS
} \s / 7.3.1 EXPLOSIVE AND TOXIC MATERIALS Accidents that do not involve radioactive materials could have consequences that af fect the environment. Such~ accidents include chemical explosions or fires, and leakage or rupture of vessels 'containing oil or toxic materials. The ef fects o f accidents on the normal operation of the plant are discussed in Section 2.2.3 of the Wolf Creek Generating Station Final Safety Analysis Report (WCGS FSAR). The fire protection system is described in Section 9.5.1 of the FSAR.
The principal criterion established for this facility for the storage of toxic or explosive material is that the impact o f accidents involving any significant quantity of materials will be confined within the site boundary. The ef fect of chemical explosions or fires on the environment beyond the site boundary is minimized by the fire protection system and the relative isolation of these potential sources of explosions or fires. If an explosion or fire were to occur, the offsite environmental effect would occur from airborne emissions such as sulfur dioxide carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulates. At worst, 7- g the effects from this accider.t would be short-term. Two (v; examples of combustible materials are as follows: Heating Fuel Oil - a maximum of 470,000 gallons of No. 2 grade fuel oil is stored at the site approximately 380 feet from the power block. The storage tank is confined by a berm which prevents the release of fuel oil if failure of the tank should occur. The berm has the capacity to hold the entire contents of the tank. Any spillage is handled according to the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan and will have no adverse environmental impact. No. 2 grade fuel oil has a relatively low volatility since its vapor pressure is usually less than 0.1 pounds per square inch (psi). At normal storage temperatures explosive mixtures are not i formed; thus an explosion hazard should not exist. No. 2 grade fuel oil will sustain combustion if its ignition temperature is reached by an outside heat source. The airborne combustion products from such an event would be diffused at the site boundaries, thereby reducing concentrations. Hydrogen - a maximum of 120,000 standard cubic feet (scf) of hydrogen is stored on the site. It is stored in modular high pressure (2450 psig) bottles outside and approximately 650 feet from the power block but not near i p)
\d 7.3-1
WCGS-ER(OLS) the site boundaries so that neither the offsite environs nor the power block would be endangered by an explosion involving hydrogen. Any leakage from the hydrogen bottles would be rapidly diluted with atmospheric air thus preventing an explosive mixture from forming in any area other than the immediate area of any postulated leak. Leakage of hydrogen into the atmosphere is not harmful since it merely adds an insignificant quantity to the existing inventory. The hydrogen header serving the power block is provided with a mechanical check valve which would isolate flow in the event of a postulated pipe rupture. The storage of material which could cause offsite toxic concentrations high enough to have adverse environmental consequences are provided with a confinement barrier. The following are examples of such toxic materials: Sulfuric Acid (H,SO 3 ) - A maximum of 61,000 gallons of a 66 6 Baume soluEion of sulfuric acid is stored outdoors at the nite. The sulfuric acid is stored in a lined carbon steel tank located above a pit filled with limestone to confine and neutralize releases to the immediate area. The pit has the capacity to hold the entire contents of the tank. A maximum of 11,000 gallons of a 66 Baume solution of sulfuric acid is also stored indoors at the shop building. The acid is stored in a lined carbon steel tank which is confined by a berm. This berm will preclude the possibility of an uncontrolled release of sulfuric acid. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) - A maximum of 16,000 gallons of 50-percent colution of sodium hydroxide is stored in a lined carbon steel tank indoors at the shop building. This tank is confined by the same berm used to confine the sulfuric acid tank. Since the simultaneous rupture of the sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid tanks is considered highly unlikely, the berm is not designed to hold the entire contents of both tanks. The postulated mode of failure of these tanks is a slow leak condition. A drain is provided within the berm to remove and neutralize any accidentally released material. Each of the tanks can be independently monitored and controlled. Chlorine (C19 Liquid) - Up to 21 1-ton liquid chlorine containers are onsite either installed in the clorination system in the circulating water screen house, or in the chlorine storage facility located approximately 150 feet north of the circulating water screen house. (See Figure 2.1-4) In addition, four 150-pound storage vessels will be stored near the shop building in the chlorine house. Because potentail accidental releases of chlorine from these containers would be considerably less than these Rev. 2 7.3-2 6/81
'WCGS-EC(OLS) s CHAPTER 10.0 /
i ( / STATION DESIGN ALTERNATIVPS During the construction permit review, a variety of station design alternatives were considered in Chapter 10.0 of the Environmental Report Construction Permit Stage (FR(CPS)). The designs selected were approved by the NRC in the course of granting a construction permit. for Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit ' No. 1 (WCGS) as _ discussed in the following se ct ions'. In some cases no alternatives were presented in the ER(CPS) when there was only one clear design choice. *he implementation of the selected design is discussed in tais' chapter. 10.1 CIRCULATING WATER SYSTEM It was concluded by the Applicants in the ER(CPS) and the NRC staff in the Construction Permit Final Environment Statement (CPPES) that a 5090 acre cooling lake was superior to all alternatives considered for the dissipation of heat from WCGS. The cooling lake is described in Section 3.4. 10.2 INTAKE SYSTEM The preferred design alternative of the intake structure for .s the WCGS circulating water system as proposed by the Appli-
\ cants in the ER(CPS) and approved by the NRC in the CPFFS utilizes a conventional screenhouse with vertical travelling screens.
The design selected for the WCGS makeup water system by the Applicants in the ER(CPS) and approved by the NRC in the CPFES utilizes a similar screenhouse with travelling screens ' located on a deadend channel constructed along the east bank of the Neosho River just downstream of the John Redmond Dan. The plant intake systems are described in Section 3.4. ~ 10.3 DISCHARGE SYSTEM No alternative desig u were proposed by the Applicants in the ER(CPS) for the discharge structures in the circulating water and makeup water systems. The NRC concurred with the use of concrete outfall structures for these systems in the CPFES. The discharge structures are described in Section 3.4. l v ; 10.0-1
WCGS-ER(OLS) 10.4 CHEMICAL WASTE TREATMENT The chemical waste treatment processes to be implemented for WCGS are those proposed by the Applicants in the ER(CPS). The systems which involve chemicals are the circulating water system, steam cycle system and domineralized water system as described in Sections 3.3 and 3.6. 10.5 BIOCIDE TREATMENT The alternative chcson by the Applicants in the ER(CPS) to control biological growth and slime buildup in the cooling water which passes through the main condenser an' auxiliary heat exchanger tubes at WCGS is an intermittent chlorination program utilizing chlorine gas. A description of the chlor-ination program is given in Section 3.6. and ER(CPS) Section 3.6. 10.6 SANITARY WASTE SYSTEM The sanitary waste treatment system implemented for WCGS uses the treatment method proposed by the Applicants in the ER(CPS). The water treatment system is described in Section 3.7. Effluent water quality requirements are imposed on the facility by the State of Kansas under the NPDES permit program. 10.7 LIQUID RADWASTE SYSTEMS As discussed in Section 5.2, the liquid radwaste systems for WCGS described in Section 3.5 conform to the "as low as reasonably achieveable" (ALARA) criteria of 10 CPR 50 Appen-dix I. Consequently, no discussion . of alternative liquid radwaste systems was presented in the ER(CPS) or is war-ranted herein. 10.8 GASEOUS RADWASTE SYSTEMS As discussed in Section 5.2, the gaseous radwaste systems for WCGS described in Section 3.5 conform to the ALARA criteria of 10 CFR 50 Appendix I. Consequently, no dis-cussion of alternative gaseous radwaste systems was pre-sented in the ER(CPS) or is warranted herein. 10.9 TRANSMISSION PACILITIES l The major 345-kV transmission line construction associated with WCGS will be along the preferred routes proposed by the Applicants in the ER(CPS) and concurred with by the NRC in the CPPES with the following exception:
- a. The Wolf Creek-Craig transmission line will be shortened by approximately 14 miles and will terminate at the West Gardner Substation Rev. 2 10.0-2 6/81

An additional 69-kV transmission line, not identified in the
. ER(CPS), was constructed by a Kansas Electric Power Coopera-tives member between the WCGS substation and the nearby Phillips Petroleum Company pipeline pumping station at Sharpe, Kansas. Because of the shortness of this line (less than three miles) and there being only one practical route for the line, no alternatives are postulated.
See Section 3.9 for a discussion of the WCGS transmission facilities. 10.10 OTiiER SYSTEMS No other systems have been identified for which potential environmental effects warrant consideration of design alter-natives. O i i i ) I O l Rev. 2 l 10.0-3 6/81 ,

WCGS-ER(OLS) s CHAPTER 12.0 ENVIRONMENTAL' APPROVALS AND CONSULTATIONS The design, construction and operation of Wolf' Creek Gener-ating Station, Unit No. 1 (WCGS) is subject to a number of licenses, permits and conditions resulting from the review and approval of numerous local, state and federal agencies. Pursuant to these requirements the Applicants have made contacts with and have secured the appropriate approvals, licenses, permits and certificates from the various govern-mental agencies as described in the Environmental Report-Construction Permit Stage (ER(CPS)) and as updated below: 12.1 STATUS OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSULTATIONS 12.1.1 FEDERAL AGENCIES 12.1.1.1 Nuclear Regulatory Commission The Nuclear Regula tory Commission's Atomic Safety and Li-censing Board conducted public hearings concerning the WCGS 3 construction permit application. The hearings were held on November 12 and 13, 1975, ' at Burlington, Kansas, January
- f 26-28, February 2-6, February 23-26, March 2-5, April 26-30, June 24-25, 1976, March 5 22-23, 1977 at Kansas City, Missouri, and May 4, 1976, at Bethesda, Maryland.
On January 19, 1977, the Board issued a Partial Initial Decision in which it made all the findings required by 10 CFR Part 51 with respect to NEPA matters, and determined that there is reasonable assurance that the proposed site is a suitable location for a nuclear power reactor of the size and type proposed. Subsequently on January 24, 1977, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission granted a Limited Work Author-iza tion permitting certain activities at the site which might be characterized as site construction preparatory activities. On April 18, 1977, an amendment was granted to the Limited Work Authorization permitting the initiation of construction of specific structures at the site. On May 17, 1977, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued construction permit CPPR-147 authorizing the constructon of

WCGS-ER(OLS) 12.1.1.2 Environmental Protection Agency The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implements provi-sions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) as amended that requires the licensing and certification of effluent water discharges from federally licensed indus-trial projects. The EPA has granted the Kansas Department of Ilealth Environment (KDIIE ) authority to certify activities as provided by FWPCA Section 401 and to issue permits through the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program as provided by Section 402 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KG&E) has kept the EPA in-formed of its intentions relating to proposed discharges from WCGS through official meetings, correspondence, and telephone conversations, and has discussed the conditiona and standards relating to the NPDES permit which was subse-quently issued by the KDIIE. 12.1.1.3 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act authorizes the Army Corps of Engineers to regulate the discharge of dredge and fill material, including construc-tion materials in the waters of the United States. In accordance with the provisions of thia act the Applicants have secured 404 permits for all applicable structures: Permit for construction of issued May 27, 1976 two highway bridges Permit for construction of 8 ' issued January 29, 1977 raw water pipeline.

For one 1150 MWe (ER) unit operating at a 100-percent average annual (3.4) load factor, will the yrculating water heat re-jection rate be 8.1 9x 10 Btu /hr as stated in Sec. 3.4.1 or 7.87 x 10 Btu /hr as indicated in Sec. 3.4.4? R240.2 The circulating water heat rejection rate for one 1150 MWe unit operating at ig0 percent average annual load factor is 7.87 x 10 Btu /hr. 9 The 8.1 x 10 Btu /hr heat rejection rgte mentioned in Section 3.4.1 should be 8.0 x 10 Btu /hr and represents the heat rejection rate fpr the circu-lating water system plus 0.13 x 10 Btu /hr heat rejection rate for the service water system. Q240.3 ER-OL, p. 3.4-3, Sec. 3.4.3.2. The calculated (ER) velocities of the water approaching and within the (3.4) circulating water intake structure do not seem to be accurate.

WCGS-ER(OLS) 0240.7 Describe the effects of plant consumptive water (ER) use on existing and projected downstream water (2.4) users under low flow conditions up to and includ-
- ing the 2 percent chance drought. The description l
should include current information on water use and current projections of future use. R240.7 A discussion of the effects of plant consumptive water use on downstream water use rs during the period of record drought of 1952-1957 was discuss-ed by the NRC staff in the Supplemental Testimony, dated January 6, 1976, on contention I-1 during the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hearings. This period-of-record drought is estimated to have a recurrence interval of fif ty years (2% chance drought). The NRC staff in their discussion con-cluded that even if all the water rights, senior to Kansas Water Resources Board's right to John Redmond Reservoir storage, set out in Kansas De-partment of Agriculture list, are included as downstream users, there is sufficient storage availab le in John Redmond D.esetvoir to provide 41 cfs to the WCGS and to satisfy rights of down-stream users through the period-of-record drought.

WCGS-ER(OLS) 0240.8 Provide a flow-duration curve for the Neosho River l (ER) at Wolf Creek reflecting regulation by the John (2.4) Redmond Rese rvoir. Also provide an estimate of the 7 consecutive day once in 10 year low flow for the river at Wolf Creek under the same conditions. Discuss the effect of plant operation on these parameters. Provide in your discussion your as-sumptions regarding reservoir release rates and plant withdrawals. R240.8 The nearest U.S. Geological Survey gaging station on the Neosho River downstream of John Redmond Reservoir and near the confluence of Neosho River and Wolf Creek is at Burlington, Kansas. This gaging station at Burlington, Kansas, is approxi-mately five miles downstream of John Redmond Pes-ervoir and the confluence of Neosho River and Wolf Creek is approximately 4 miles downstream of this gaging station. The flow-duration information for Neosho River at Burlington, Kansas, for the period October 1964 to September 1979 is presented in Figure 240.8-1. The 7-day 10-year low flow for the same period is 17.3 cf s. During low flows, the flows in Neosho River below
- John Redmond Reservoir would constitute the re- /
i leases from the reservoir for water rights and
/ water quality purposes. Even with plant operation at WCGS, the releases for water rights and water quality will be made from the Reservoir and, hence, the flow-dr'ation for the low-flow range would not be af';c ed at Burlington nor at Wolf Creek.
The Attachment M to the supplemental testimony by NRC staff dated January 6, 1976 on contention I-1 during Atomic Safety Licensing Board hearings (Construction Permit Stage) gives average monthly flows in the Neosho River below John Redmond Res-ervoir with WCGS operation for the period 1951-1959. Attachments A and B to the above testimony tabu-late the water quality and water rights releases below John Redmond Reservoir. The plant makeup water rates (withdrawal from John Redmond Rescr-voir) are discussed in Section 3.3.6 of WCGS, i ER(OLS).

WCGS-ER(OLS) 0240.10 Provide a description of the analysis used to de-(ER) termine the runoff into Wolf Creek Cooling Lake (2.4) for the cooling lake simulation study. Describe the gaged basins used to extrapolate flows for Wolf Creek including location, size, period of record, whether the streams are effluent or influ-ent, and any adjustments made other than for drain-age area. R240.10 Since Wolf Creek is ungaged, no records of stream flows are available. Streamflow data for Wolf Creek were synthesized from the U.S. Geological Survey records for the following gaging stations: Drainage Area Period of Gaging Station (sq. mi.) Record Used
- 1. Neosto River at Council Grove, Ms. 250 1938-1977
- 2. Neocho River at Anericus, Ks. 622 1963-1977

- 6. Virdigris River at Madison, Ks. 181 1955-1976 All the above stations are located adjacent to the Wolf Creek drainage area and the available data is adjusted to correlate with the creek's drain-age area. The average intensity of streamflow at the gaging stations was applied to the drainage area of Wolf Creek to obtain the runof f into Wolf Creek cooling lake. No adjustments are made other than for drainage area.

e WCGS-ER(OLS) r3 0240.11 Justify the conservatism of the estimates of Wolf ( } (ER) Creek Cooling Lake seepage, evaporation, and in-
'w/ (3.3) flow that have been used as input.to the consump-tive water use analysis and cooling lake drawdown studies.
R240.11 Seepage The maximum seepage estimated from the cooling lake and through the cooling lake dam is 0.102 cfs, when the lake level is at the normal operating level of 1087.0 feet MSL. . (See Section 2.4.2.4.2 and Table 2.4-10 of ER(OLS) and Section 2.5.6.6.1 of FSAR.) A seepage of 3.5 cfs at the lake level of 1087.0 feet MSL was used in the cooling lake analysis. The use of the higher _ seepage of 3.5 cfs is conservative because, during drought con-ditions (August 1952 through May 1957), the higher seepage would force the cooling lake to operate at more severe conditions, greater lake drawdown and higher lake temperatures. Evaporation The evaporation predicted by LAKET are based on the most accurate predicted method available from published sources and experimental studies listed below: (~\ ( Patrick Ryan and Donald Harleman, "An Analytical and Experinental Study of Transient Cooling Pond Behav-ior," MIT Report No. 161, 1973. D. K. Brady, W. L. Graves and J. C. Geyer, "Sur-face Heat Exdlange at Power Plant Cooling Lakes", Cooling Water Studies for Edison Electric Institute, Report No. 5, John Hopkins University, November 1969. B. A. Ticheror and A. G. Christianson, " Cooling Pond Temperature vs. Size and Water Loss", presented at ASCE National Water Resources Engineering Meeting, Phoenix, Arizona, January 1971. Inflows The inflows into Wolf Creek cooling lake are esti-mated as described in response to Q240.10 (2.4). The estimated flows are shown in Table 2.4-22 of the FSAR. During the historic drought period of 1952-1957, for a period of six consecutive months (September 1956 to February 1957), the flows are negligibly small. Also for the 7 month period, from August A 1953 to Februa ry 1954, the flow is less than 0.2 ( j)

WCGS-ER(OLS) R240.14/240.15 These two Questions (240.14 and 240.15) are inter-related. Therefore, a common response is provided. A description of the Neosho River basin and Wolf Creek watershed is given in Section 2.4.1.2 of the ER(OLS) and Section 2.4.1.2 of the FSAR for the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS). The flood prone area, the area flooded due to a 100-year flood, in the vicinity of the site prior to the construction of the WCGS and its facilities is shown in Figure 240.14/240.15-1. The flood prone area is taken from Flood llaza rd Bounda ry Maps for Cof fey County, developed by the Federal Insurance Administration, U.S. Department of Ilousing and Urban Development, dated August 1977. Maps showing the area flooded by a 500-year flood are not developed by the FIA and, hence, are not available. However, a S tanda rd Project Flood (SPF) was developed for the Wolf Creek cooling lake and is presented below. The facilities for WCGS, which may potentially alter the flood plains of the streams in the site
, area are the cooling lake dam, the makeup water e
' screenhouse on the Neosho River below John Radmond j dam, the circulating water screenhouse and dis-charge structure, the makeup discharge structure and the offsite roads and ra ilroad track. All these facilities are identified in Figure 240.14/ 240.15-2. The circulating water screenhouse, dis-charge structure and the makeup discharge struc-ture are built along the shoreline of the cooling lake and will have negligible of fect on the Wolf Creek flood plain. A description of other facil-ities and their potential effects on the flood plains of the streams is given below. Floods in Cooling Lake A cooling lake was developed for WCGS by con-structing a dam across Wolf Creek. The 100-year flood level in the cooling lake is estimated to be 1089.8 MSL. The flood prone areas above the dam due to a 100-year flood before and after the con-struction of the dam are shown in Figure 240.14/ 240.15-2. The boundaries of the property owned by the applicant are also shown in Figure 240.14/ 240.15-2. The area covered by the 100-year flood in the cooling lake is well within the prope rty boundaries (Figure ^40.14/240.15-2). Beyond the [' ' prope rty bounda ry in the upper reaches of Wolf
! Creek, the 100-year flood in the cooling lake does Rev. 2 240-14 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) R240.14/R240.15 (continued) not affeet the flood prone area which existed prior to construction of the main dam. The 500-year flood was not generated for the Wolf Creek cooling lake. Ilowever, a standard project flood (SPF) was developed for WCGS and is dis-cussed in Section 2.4 of the WCGS FSAR addendum. The cooling lake level during a SPF is estimated to be at an elevation of 1091.7 feet MSL and the area potentially flooded due to SPF would be with-in the property boundaries. The complete description of the development of flood hydrographs (100-year flood, and SPF) with and without the cooling lake is given in Section 2.4 of the FSAR addendum. These flood hydrographs are presented in Figures 2.4-17 and 2.4-19 of the FSAR addendum. Floods in Wolf Creek Below Cooling Lake Dam The peak flood flows in Wolf Creek below the cooling lake will be conside rably smaller, com-pared to the peak flood flows prior to the con-struction of the cooling lake due to the storage capacity of the cooling lake available above the lake normal operating level of 1087.0 feet MSL. The peak flood flows in Wolf Creek below the cool-ing lake for 2-year, 10-year, 100-year and stand-ard project floods were obtained by routing the respective flood hydrographs through the cooling lake and over the service and auxiliary spillways. The description of the spillways and the flood routing proceduro are described in detail in Section 2.4 of the FSAR addendum. The starting elevation in the cooling lake was assumed to be at the service spillway crest level of 1088.0 feet MSL though a part of the flood could be absorbed by the storage capacity available between the nor-mal operating level of 1087.0 feet MSL and spill-way crest level. Table 240.14/240.15-1 presents the peak flood flows in Wolf Creek downstream of the cooling lake dam together with peak flows during preconstruction condition without the cool-ing lake. The table clearly shows that the po6t-construction peak flood flows are much lower than the corresponding preconstruction flood peaks. Ilence, the flooding of the areas below Wolf Creek dam due to Wolf Creek flood flows is much reduced after the construction of the cooling lake. Rev. 2 240-15 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) h [~N R240.14/240.15 (continued) L Makeup Screenhouse The makeup screenhouse was built downstream of the stilling basin for John Redmond dam spillway, and on the east bank of the discharge channel. Fig-ures 3.4-4, 3.4-5, and 3.4-6 ER(OLS) show the gen-e ral arrangement and location of the makeup screenhouse. The screenhouse is built on the east bank of the discharge channel and as can be seen from Figure 240.14/240.15-2, its encroachment into the 100-year flood zone is very little. IIe nce , the additional flooding in the Neosho River below the John Redmond dam, due to the makeup screen-house, is negligible. Offsite Roads and Railroad Track The offsite roads and railroad track are shown in Figure 240.14/240.15-2. The offsite railroad track crosses Long Creek, Scott Creek, Crooked Creek and Taucket Creek. Suitable bridge and cul-vert openings are provided wherever the roads and track cross the creeks. l l i Rev. 2 240-16 6/81 ; 1

\ ~ (V Q290.1 Describe any changes in the routing of the trans-(ER) mission line corridors since the ER-OL (Sec. 3.9).
(3.9) What is the current. state of completion (ER-OL Sec. 3.9)? R290.1 Wolf Creek-Rose Hill Transmission line (345-kV) -- No changes to route, to be completed in 1983. Wolf Creek'-Craig Transmission line (345 kV) -- The
. Wolf Creek-Craig line has been changed and will terminate at a new substation --
West Gardner. The La Cygne-Craig transmission line will be inter-cepted and brought through the West Gardner sub-station where a ring bus arrangement will be used to connect these lines to the Wolf Creek 345.kV line. The West Gardner Substation will have three e' 345 kV lines (Wolf Creek-West Gardner, West Gardner-Craig, and West Gardner-La Cygne). Term-inating the 345 kV Wolf Creek line at West Gardner will result in saving approximately 14 miles of. 345 kV line. The transmission line corridor from-Wolf Creek to West Gardner has not changed. Wolf Creek-West Gardner is to be completed in 1983.
/ Wolf . Creek-Benton transmission zline -
no change. (/ Completed in 1976. Wolf Creek-La Cygne transmission line - no change. Completed in 1976. Wolf Creek tap of Athens-Burlington transmission line no change. Completed in 1975. Wolf Creek to Coffey County REC transmission line - no change. Completed. Q290.2 Give details on the present status of the railroad (ER) spur routing and have there been any changes since (3.9) the FES-CP Sec. 3.9? R290.2 l
- a. Railroad Spur Route: The route of the completed railroad spur is shown on drawing S-300 (copy provided with formal response).
- b. Changes since FES-CP Section 3.9: The right-of-way ~for the offsite railroad spur varies from a
) width of 60 feet to 180 feet. ,

I WCGS-ER(OLS) 0290.3 Ilas the water pipeline been completed and have (ER) there been any changes in the proposed route (FES-(3.9) CP Sec. 3.9)? R290.3
- a. The construction of the makeup water pipeline is complete.
- b. The route of the existing pipeline varies from the proposed route shown in FES-CP Section 3.9 at the makeup water screen house (Corps of Engineers property) and at the makeup water discharge struc-ture (KG&E property). The existing route of the pipeline is shown on drawings S-1, M-84, M-85, M-86 and M-87 (copies provided with formal response).
Q290.4 What are the current plans for recreational and (ER) agricultural land use on site when WCGS becomes (3.9) operational? R290.4 No changes will result in recreational land use when WCGS becomes operational because there are no plans to open the lake for public recreational use as described in Section 2.8. Land owned by the Applicants is presently being utilized for agricultural purposes. It is the Applicants' policy to lease such lands when such leasing is consistent with prior commitments and does not interfe re with the future operation of WCGS. No change from this policy is anticipated when WCGS goes into ope ra tion . Section 2.8 also describes this land use policy for land adjacent to the cooling lake and inside the WCGS site boundary.

.. /'N 0290.5 What mitigative measures will be taken by the ! ) (ER) > applicant (or other agencies) for the protection V of bald and golden eagles that may be attracted to the cooling lake? This is in regards to both pro-tection from plant operation and structures and from recreational use rs of the cooling lake.
R290.5 Because the construction of the WCGS cooling lake will - create habitat f avorable 'for wintering Bald Eagles, mitigative measures have been taken for the protection of 'these endangered raptors. The Golden Eagle, since it occurs only rarely in this part of the state (Schwilling, Pers. Comm) would be of lesser concern. Management considerations and their corresponding mitigative measures for- Bald Eagles include:
- 1. Potential Hazards A. Human disturbance -
The WCGS ' cooling lake is closed to the public and-there-fore human disturbance of Bald Eagles roosting' or feeding _ on the cooling lake will be minimized. [) B. Shooting - Shooting is the most preva-( ) lent single cause of death among Bald Eagles (Coon et al. 1970). Restriction of public access will minimize the inci-dence of _ eagle shootings on the WCGS cooling lake. C. Electrocution - Electrocutions occur when an opgle, or other bird, with a wide wing span makes simultaneous con-tact with any two phase conductors or with a phase conductor and a ground wire. Powerlines with electrical ratings over 69 kv do not present a hazard because of wide line spacing. On powerlines with ratings of 69 kv or less, crossarm type distribution poles are the most likely to be involved with electrocutions (Ansell et al. 1980). The distribution poles used on the 69 kv line near the WCGS cooling lake are not the crossarm type.

)v ) pled or healthy wate rfowl and winter-killed Rev. 2 290-3 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) R290.5 (continued) or live fish. They also feed on other water-birds, upland game and small mammals. All of these food sources are available on or near the WCGS cooling lake.
- 3. Vegetative Habitats - Wintering Bald Eagles usually perch in large trees that are adja-cent to foraging areas and provide protection from the wind (Griffin et al. 1980, Steenhoff et al. 1980). Modifications of the initial cooling lake basin clearing plan were made to increase the amount of standing timber left in the upper portions of the lake. Such areas will probably be utilized as perch sites. In addition, small stands of trees left at various locations around the lake will also provide excellent perch sites. It is also quite likely that Baf fle Dikes A and B will be utilized for perching and foraging.
This variety of potential perch sites should reduce usage of power poles for perching.
- 4. Avifauna Surveys - Surveys of the WCGS cool-ing lake have been initiated by the Applicant to determine the amount of Bald Eagle usage and identify any developing problems. Sur-veys are conducted on a semi-monthly basis during the months of January-April and Sep tembe r-Decembe r. Three ground surveys (each at a different time of day) are con-ducted during each half-month period. Aerial surveys of both the WCGS cooling lake and John Redmond Reservoir will be conducted on a monthly basis beginning in September, 1981.

If so, are there other preferred habitat areas within the area that currently maintain a localized popula-tion of this species? R290.6 Records exist which document the occurrence of the northern crayfish frog (Rana areolata) for twelve eastern Kansas counties, including Coffey County. Although there was a single cbserva tion of this species in 1976 on the mudflats of John Redmond Reservoir, there have been no observations made of the crayf;3h frog on the WCGS site. While the lack of observations for this species on site does not entirely rule out the possibility of their occurrence, it does indicate that no large colon-ies, similar to those referenced by Collins (1974), exist on site.

QJ . l R290.8 The site boundary was changed in a few minor ways between that described in the Environmental Report Construction Permit Stage (ER[ CPS]) Tnd the Environmental Report-Operating License Stage (ER[OLS)). Figure 2.1-8 of the ER(CPS) and 2.1-6 of the ER(OLS) should be compared to show the changes'. The changes. resulted in less property being purchased for WCGS proper. The nominal acreage within the site boundary in the ER(CPS) was 10,500 acres and the actual amount purchased was 9,818 acres. The specific changes are:
- Sections 13 and 24, T21S-R15E -- Boundary moved cast to section line;
- Section 30, T21S-R16E -- Boundary moved north to half-section line (See revised ER(OLS) Figure 2.1-6);
Section 17, T21S-R16E -- Boundary excludes NW 40 acres (See revised ER(OLS) Figure 2.1-6); Section 9, T21S-R16E -- Boundary moved west to f section line; and b - Section 36, T20S-R15E -- Boundary moved west to follow lake contour. 4 Q290.9 How many hectares on site are grazed prairie and (ER) how many are old farmland? R290.9 In answering this question, grazed prairie was understood to be grasslands in which the sod has never been tilled, and old farmland was interpret-ed asreturned been land that' to was once cultivated and has since grass. There are an estimated 626 hectares of grazed prairie and 72 hectares of old fa rmland that are above elevation 1087 and l within the site boundary.

!, f 0290.12 (ER) ovide a discussion on the potential short-term
.id long-term effects of. electric fields on humans V (5.5) and describe - the grouading procedures to be util-ized to prevent primary and secondary shocks.
R290.12 Electric utilities commonly employ various ground-ing practices and techniques as simple and highly ef fective methods for keeping induced voltages and currents from having harmful effects. All trans-mission lines associated with Wolf Creek are 345 kV or less. Transmission at these voltages is called EHV (extra high voltage) transmission. When electric utilities began building UHV (ultra high voltage) transmission lines (greater than 500 kV) in the 1960's the potential for increased effect on humans was recognized and studied. One study condwted by American Electric Power during 1962-1992 with the assistance of the John Hopkins medical group studied electrostatic field effects on the human body (Scherer, et al. un-dated). One of the objectives of the study was to determine if the electric field could cause either short or long-term effects on human health. Medical examination was made on 11 linemen who performed live line maintenance at 345 kV using V' both barehand and hot-stick methods. The medical study consisted of opthamological, otolarynogo-logical, urological, and neuro-psychiatt _al as well as physical and laboratory examinations. The nine year continuous study revealed no effects in their health resulting from exposure to high volt-age lines. No evidence of any malignancy, or changes in physical, mental, or emotional states were found. Numerous other studies have also been completed or are ongoing. EPRI collected and reviewed this information and published two reports summarizing 4
' the biological effects of high-voltage electric fields (EPRI RP381, 1975; EPRI EA-1123, 1979).
The 1975 report concluded and the 1979 report con-
+
firms the conclusion that it is highly improbable that electric fields from transmission lines have - i any signi ficant biological effects on healthy in-dividuals who encounter such fields in a normal way under normal conditions. However, the reports alao relate that there may be subtle and as yet un-d 0.ected effects of such electric fields. Further studies to determine if other effects exist are presently being conducted. Rev. 2 290-11 6/81
WCGS-ER(OI9) R290.12 (continued) Years of operating experience have indicated that with proper grounding ElIV and UIIV transmission lines pose no hazard to the health and well being of humans. Grounding techniques employed by KG&E and KCPL include for 345 kV lines:
- 1. Static wir s overhead of the lines;
. Ground wires on wooden structures;
- 3. Ground rods on wooden or steel struc-tures, if required, to limit ground resistance to 10 ohms or less;
- 4. Fences grounded at 1/4 mile intervals that run parallel to the line or within 200 feet of the center line;
- 5. Fences that cross the line grounded 50 feet on each side of the center line for KG&E and 80 feet for NCPL; and
- 6. Minimum ground clearance of 30 feet in open country and higher elsewhere.
These features limit the potential shock hazard to secondary or imperceptible shocks well below the painful shock or let-go shock threshold.

,m - Q290.13 Provide a discussion of the potential problems of
[ ') U'R) seasonal waterfowl impacting the proposed trans-
\ j (5.5) mission lines bordering the Wolf Creek Cooling !
Lake. R290.13 There is no doubt that birds collide with trans-mission lines and that populations utilizing Wolf Creek Cooling Lake (WCCL) will be susceptible to such collisions. However, the potential for such collisions can be greatly reduced through a wide varie ty of mitigative measures (Thompson, 1978). Preventive measures taken by the Applicant to reduce the potential for transmission line colli-sione include siting of lines, tower design and prevention of fright / flight collision pctential.
- 1. Initial siting of lines Only a small percentage of the existing 345 and 69 kV transmission lines pass ove r WCCL.
In the areas where crossings occur standing timber should help to reduce the potential hazard. Standing timber will reduce the clearance between lines and the land config-uration, thereby channeling the birds over the lines. In some cases, existing lines A) (V paralleled each other thereby clustering the corridors to reduce collision potential. Two additional 345 kV lines are to be con-structed to transmit power from WCGS. Both enter the area from the east, with one tra-veling to the West Gardner substation in a NNE direction and the other going down the east side of WCCL then west to the Rose Hill substation. The Wolf Creek-Rose Hill line is positioned close to the existing 69 kV line. Paralleling these lines should reduce colli-sion potential.
- 2. Tower Design By reducing the number of horizontal planes formed by powerlines, the collisions involv-ing flocks flying through the lines will be reduced. The existing 345 kV lines at WCGS l
have both two plane and three plane sections. The new 345 lines will have two horizontal planes. 1 o Rev. 2 290-13 6/81

R291.1
- a. The lime sludge pond is located north of the switch yard and west of the meteorological tower x' (see Figure ~ 2.4-14 ) . With the cooling lake at normal operating pool level (elevation 1987.0 ft),
the distance from the base of the lime sludge pond to the cooling lake will be approximately 50 feet.
- b. The lime sludge pond has two diversions, a sluice structure and an emergency spillway. The spill height for the sluice structure is at elevation 2003'5" and for the emergency spillway at 2004'.
- c. The lime sludge pond is unlined and has been con-structed by excavating the existing grade of the pond area to a maximum height for the bottom of 1997.5' elevation. The excavated soil (inorganic cohesive soil) was used to build the dikes around the pond. The dike slopes are 3:1, vertical to horizontal. Dike slopes are cove red with either four inches of seeded topsoil or twelve inches of ;
filter type II covered by twelve inches of riprap l class facing. I

- e. The seepage rate from the lime sludge pond is ex-pected to be less than 10 gpm assuming upper bound permeability values for underlying soil and rock formations and will probably be less than 1 gpm.
The runoff into the lime sludge pond will be neg-ligibly small due to dikes on three sides and a intercepting drainage ditch on the fourth ride,
- f. At the end of 40 yea rs of plant operation, the sludge accumulated in the lime sludge pond for 2 units ir. operation is estimated to be 19 acro-ft and approximately 1 ft deep (for the influent val-ues listed in Figure 3.3-1 of the ER(OLS); values are doubled for 2 units in operation). The re-mainder of the lime sludge pond (161 acre-ft and 6.8 ft depth) at the end of 40 years will still have sufficient capacity to accommodate the worst rainfall. The 100 year-24 hour rainfall in the vicinity of the Wolf Creek Station is only 8 r inches (U.S. Commerce Weather Bureau, Technical Paper No. 40). Also, the lime sludge pond volume will have sufficient capacity to accommodate the worst recorded wet years (from the Chanute, Kansas weather data used in the LAKET analysis) from 1949 to 1951 (typically, on an annual average basis, the precipitation rate in the Wolf Creek Station area is lower than the natural evaporation rate).
These three consecutive wet years would increase the sludge pond water level by only 2.5 ft, leaving 4.3 ft margin in the lime sludge pond (the 1 ft sludge accumulation included). The spillway in the lime sludge pond was origin-ally designed for use during heavy rainfalls. How-ever, with reduced demineralized makeup water design demand and thus, the corresponding reduc-tion in pretreatment and demineralizer wastes (reduced lime sof teners blowdown, carbon and sand filter backwash, and regenerative waste), the spillway is no longer required even during the heaviest of rainfalls as discussed previously.

- c. The data given in the OLER _ imply t_ hat the
! concentrations of the TDS, SO} and C1 in the blowdown are the same as in tMe cooling lake. However, such factors as incomplete diffusion or mixing of solutes or concentration strati-fication in the cooling lake might make the blowdown solute concentration different from that of the lake as a whole. Indicate wheth-er such factors have been considered and, if so, what analysis has been made;
- d. Provide the. bases of gr the so_urce(s) for the criteria for TDS, S0 and C1 cited for the
,O > 1 Neosho River.
R291.2 a., b. The following is a brief description of the anal-ysis and results for the dispersion of blowdown discharge from Wolf Creek Lake in the Neosho River. The TDS concentration distribution in the Neosho River is analyzed with a steady state dispersion model assuming the effluent discharge as a point continuous source on one of the banks of the river. The dispersion in the vertical and trantverse di-rections of the river is conside red . The longi-tudinal dispersion is neglected as it will be lower in comparison with the convection due to the ambient velocity of the river. The velocity in the river cross-section is assumed constant and an equivalent rectangular cross-section of the river is assumed for computation. The following equation is used to find the concen-tration under steady state conditions: CQ

The 25 per-cent flow area is designated as a mixing zone according to Kansas Water Quality Criteria f for interstate and intrastate waters of Kansas. The following is used as input for the dispersion calculations:
- 1. An average section of the two surveyed cross-sections, one at the confluence with Wolf Creek and the other 600 feet downstream, is assumed downstream of the confluence of Wolf Creek with Neosho River. The rectangularized
-cross section adopted for computation has a width of 92 feet and depth of 9.0 feet for a discharge of 1335 cfs.
- 2. The average velocity through the river for a discharge of 1335 cfs is computed as 1.6 ft/
sec. The bottom slope of the river is obtained from the USGS (Burlington and Le Roy
) Quadrangle Sheets, 7.5 minute se ries) topo-V graphic maps. A Manning's 'n' of 0.05 is-assumed in the velocity computations.
- 3. The concentrations are computed at intervals of distances both laterally and ve rtically.
- 4. The point of injection for this computation is assumed to be at 5 feet from the bottom.
- 5. The values of dispersion coefficients used for a river discharge of 1335 cfs are cal-culated from equations (2) and (3) and they are:
D = 0.101 f+2/sec I 2 0 = 0.00031 ft /sec 7
- c. The cooling lake water quality calculations were based on complete mixing in the cooling lake.
This issue of using complete mixing in the cooling lake water quality calculations has been discussed previously during the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hearings (Construction Permit Stage). In this testimony, the NRC staff agreed that the use of complete mixing in the water quality calcula-tions was valid. Rev. 2 291-5 6/81

Q291.3 . Outline the derivat. ton of the concentrations given (ER) in Tabic 3.6-1. Are the values for the cooling y/ (2.4) lake averages over the whole lake - are they steady state ' values? Discuss why the normal val-ucs for the Redmond Reservoir are so much higher than those riven in Tabic 2.4-11. R291.3 Table 3.6-1 lists the chemical constituents of the water in the John Redmond Reservoir and the Wolf Creek cooling lake (for one and two' units in oper-ation) covering a period of 1949 through 1964 which includes a 2 percent chance drought. Since the regulated storage of the John Redmond Reser-voir did not begin until September 1, 1964, the John.Redmond Reservoir water quality data in Table 3.6-1 were developed on the basis of published + Neosho River water quality data (obtained from
" Water Resources Data for Kansas," U.S. Geological Survey and Kansas State Board of Health, Division of Sanitation). With these Neosho River data as input,- the LAKET program was used to predict the total dissolved solids (TDS) levels in the John 4
Redmond Reservoir. The predicted TDS levels in the reservoir provided data for the calculation of the cycles of concentration (the cycles of concentration is defined as the ratio of the con-(])
/ centration of TDS in the circulating water to that in the makeup water and represents the ef fect of evaporation on the concentration of dissolved minerals). The concentrations of the other con- ,- stituents in the water, listed in Table 3.6-1, were then determined by simply increasing these constituents concentrations for the Neosho River by the cycles of concentration, i.e., cycles of concentration times the concentration of the constituents.
The cooling lake water quality data listed in Tabic 3.6-1 were developed in a similar fashion. The John Redmond Reservoir water quality data were used as input into LAKET to predict the TDS IcVels in the cooling lake. The cycles of concentration were then determined which was used to cycle up the other water quality constituents. However, the cooling lake data includes sulfuric acid addi-tion (for scale control in the condenser). This means that, with the added acid, the TDS and sul-fate levels are increased by more than the cycles of concentration value, while the alkalinity is reduced due to a lower pH. The effects of acid addition are described in ER(OLS) Section 3.6.2. The Wolf Creek cooling lake water quality data V tabulated in Tabic 3.6-1 were predicted by the I Rev. 2 291-7 6/81

LAKET ' progtam based on the conservation of total dissolved solids and water .as a function of time. For a given time interval, the' cooling lake water quality is assumed constant over the entire lake
- (i.e., complete mixing).
The John Redmond Reservoir water quality data given in Tabic 3.6-1 are different than those
- given in Tabic 2.4-11 because the water quality data in Table 3.6-1 are based on a longer time
- intertal' (the TDS data are for a period of 1949 to l 1964) th.nn just the three years tabulated in '
. Table 2,4-11.- This difference in data base results in higher water quality data values for. the John Redmond' Reservoir and represents - the ! record period of water quality data. For the , cooling lake design, a record period of water quality data is essential and the use of these
- higher values are conservative.

WCGS-ER(OLS) l Q291.4 Indicate whether essential service water is with-(ER) drawn continuously or only during an accident or shutdown? R291.4 Essential service water (ESW) is not withdrawn continuously or used during shutdown. ESW is used during accident conditions and for testing. Q291.5 Provide estimates of the maximum total residual (ER) chlorine concentration (including that combined as chloramines and chloroorganics) to be expected at the circulating water discharge outlet to the cooling lake. R291.5 Chlorination of the condenser cooling water is designed for three 30-minute applications per day. The chlorine dosage will be varied to maintain a free residual chlorine between 0.1 and 0.5 mg/l at the condenser outlet during each chlorination period. The total chlorine residual (including chlorine combined as chloramines and chloro-organics) will depend on the chlorine demand of water.- However, during Atomic Safety Licensing Board hearings (Construction Permit Stage) in 1976, it was reported that the total chlorline residual would range between 0.68 mg/l and 1.08 mg/l et the circulating water discharge outlet to the cooling lake. O Rev. 2 291-9 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) qO -Q291.6 Where is the service water discharged? Is sulfur-ic acid added to the service water? If so, how (\ (ER) much is added?
- R2 91. 6 The service water is discharged into the circulat-ing water (CW) system downstream of the condensors prior to CW system leaving the power block. Sul-furic acid is not added to the service water system. <
The principle expected corrosion products from
, water passage through the .irculating and service water systems will be from..the piping and heat exchange rs . . The concentrations of these corrosion products will be low, on the order of ppb or less.
The potential chemical species are summarized below: Carbon Steel - Fe 23, 0 Fe34 0 , Fe(OH)3' F 2 03.31120 90-10 Cupronickel - Cu2 0, Cu0, Nicu0 2' Ni 34 0 Stainless Steel - Fe 0 , Fe U 23 3 4' Fe(OH)3' Fe 02 3 3H2, e 0 , Cr Fe0 4, 24 2 NiCr 24, 0 Ni 0 , Cr 0 34 34 The concentration of the species will depend upon the ratios of metals present in the system, temp-crature and chemical composition of the water. The underground service water piping will have cathodic protection which will reduce corrosion in this pipe. Rev. 2 291-10 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) f Q291.7 According to the OLER, Ammonia, Hydrazine, Potas-(ER) sium Chromate, and Turco Decon 4521 and 4520 are used in the power block system. Provide estimates of the usage of these chemicals. Also discuss the ultimate fate of these chemicals. Identify the pathways to the environment from the plant and indicate the amount and concentrations of these chemicals in the pathways. R291.7 Ammonia Expected blowdown from normal operations should not exceed .25 ppm Nil FSAR Table 10.3-4). The blowdown from Hot Skan(See dby is less than 10 ppm. All other conditions should have Nii 3 n entration of less-than-or-equal-to .5 ppm. Hydrazine FSAR Table 10.3-4 shows hydrazine concentration as 75-100 ppm during cold hydro and cold wet lay-up. Otherwise the hydrazine content should not exceed the 0, by 5 ppb. The maximum 0 3 concentra-tion in blowdown and feedwater is lets than 100 ppm. The path / to the environment for NH, and hydra-zine would be from condenser tube ledkage to the circulating water. Potassium Chromate Potassium Dichromate is used in the component cooling water system. Pathways to the environment would be from heat exchanger leakage to the ser-vice water system. Normal operational levels of K 2 Cr0 4 in the CCW are . 175-225 ppm (Cr03). Initial system conditioning will require 1000 ppm (Cr04) for the first week after filling the system The initial filling residue and any subsequent system drain down would be collected, tested and disposed of in an approved manner, e.g. wastes treated to bring the chromium concentrations to less than 5 ppm, or the waste would be removed to a disposal facility. Turco Decon 4521 and 4502 (not 4520) Turco Decon is used to decontaminate parts / equipment and its usage is dependent on the work being done. When used, Turco Decon 4521 is mixed with water, 8 oz to the gallon; and 2 lbs of Turco Decon 4502 is mixed with a gallon of water. Turco Decon is disposed as drummed solid waste via the chemical waste tank. Rev. 2 291-11 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) b Q291.8 Indicate the coracontration and types of chemicals
\ (ER) discharged in the rad-waste system ef fluent into the cooling lake.
R291.8 The reactor coolant system is the normal source of chemicals which may be discharged, after treatment by the liquid radwaste processing system, via the radwaste effluent to the lake. Maximum releases are provided in Table 291.8-1. Each concentration is based on an average expected flow rate of 1,394 gals / day. t 4 i i 4 i i I i l Rev. 2 291-12 6/81

WCGS-ER(OLS) k Q291.9 According to the OLER Section 3.6.3.2 cach domin-
/^^I (ER) eralizer train will be regenerated once every 26 (d (3.6) days, and only one will be used at any given time with the other train kept as a spare. Explain why the relevant entries of Table 3.6-2 are calculated for twice the above regeneration rate.
R291.9 Soo revised Section 3.6.3.2. Each domineralizer train will be regenerated once overy 13 days. Q291.10 According to Table 3 of the OLER about two (ER) mole equivalents of II 6-2 are used in regeneration of (3.6) the domineralizers for each mole equivalent of 011. As a result, during each regeneration, one-half the acid is discharged unused into the alkaline lime sludge pond. Please verify or correct the above entries in the Table.

I R291.10 See Tablc 3.6-2 corrections to sodium hydroxide entries. This table provides the quantity of chemicals going into the primary and mixed bed demineralizers, but the effluent from the domin-cyalizers, may contain different proportions of s II and Oli . 0291.11 Provido details on the derivation of the numbers (ER) given in Tabic 3.6-6 of the OLER. (3.6) R291.11 . Table 3.6-6 of the OLS-ER lists the impurities removed by one domineralizer train in the treat-ment of 216,000 gallons of makeup condensate. Based on the specified influent water quality and the design of fluent water quality, the domineral-iter manufacturer's guaranteed this removal of impurities. 10 Rev. 2 291-13 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) 0291.12 Describe the program for monitoring TDS, So", and (ER) C1 concentrations in the Neosho River or in the blowdown to ensure that discharge criteria are met. H291.12 Blowdown discharges from Wolf Creek Cooling Lake (WCCL) will comply with Kansas water quality cri-teria. The monitoring program which will document compliance with the criteria will be delineated by the requirements of the operating NPDES permit issued by the State of ransas. At this time the NPDES permit has not been modified to cover WCCL discharges, See the response to Question 291.15 for additional discussion concerning the Wolf Creek NPDES permit. 0291.13 Indicate whether discharged fluids, including oil (ER) spills in the transformer vault discharged through the oily waste separator system. If not, describe the discharge system where the effluents go and the amount of oily discharge to be expected. De-scribe the oily waste separator system and the fate of the separated oil and aqueous wastes af ter 1 caving the system. R291.13 Any potentially oily waste, including oil spi:Is in the transformer vaults, can be dircated to the oily waste separator where oils and liquids are separated by their density differences. Should an oil spill be well contained, the oil could instead be cleaned up and drummed for reclaiming. Table 3.6-7 gives a summary of oily waste dis-cha rge rates. Separated oil is reclaimed from the sepa rator and aqueous wastes are routed to the cooling lake. A drawing showing the site drainage plan and routing of piping to the oil separator was in-cluded with formal response. O Rev. 2 291-14 6/81

l WCGS-ER(OLS) 0291.15 Please supply a list, and copies if available, of (ER) all permits needed to discharge effluents during station operation. The OL-ER, Section 12, states that the discharge permit No. 1-NE07-R002 will be modified as WCGS becomes operational. Describe the expected modifications. If availabic give pollutant limits for the modifications. Identify and describe effluent discharges into the cooling lake or the lime sludge pond that will not be covered by a permit. R291.15 A copy of the present NPDES pe rmit (No. I-NE07-P001) issued by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is attached. This pe rmit controls effluents at three onsite locations: 001 Domestic warte treatment plant discharge 002 Stormwater runoff from the construction site 003 Concrete batch plant holding pond discharge S ince closure of the Wolf Creek Cooling Lake (WCCL) dam in November 1980, all plant effluents are being contained in the WCCL impoundment of water and there have been no discharges from Wo1f Creek. Consequently, monitoring of the NPDES pa rame te rs is presently not required. The re-sponse to Question 291.17 discusses the range of time intervals which are projected to be required to fil1 the WCCL. Prior to discharging from the lake the present NPDSS permit will be modified to reflect the dis-charge point being the WCCL outlet. DiscusElons with KDilE personnel indicate that pollutant limits required in the present pe rmit would be typical of those required to be in compliance with Kansas Water Quality Criteria if the operating NPDES per-mit were issued today. All ef fluent discharges from Wolf Creek are either into the cooling lake or the lime sludge pond. (See Question 291.I concerning discharges from the lime sludge pond.) All drainage in the vicinity of the plant is into the cooling lake so monitor-ing at the outlet of the cooling lake means that all effluent discharges will be cove red by a pe rm '. t . l O Rev. 2 ' 291-16 6/81

WCGS-ER(OLS) 0291.19 Provide details of the monitoring program on WCCL (ER) during filling and as planned af ter station oper-ation begins. This should include information on icthyoplankton and young-of-the-year fishes, espe-cially in the area of cooling water intake. R291.19 The Applicants have initiated the lake filling phnse environmental monitoring program on Wolf Creek Cooling Lake (WCCL). Cooling lake monitor-ing includes limnological and fis' y studies de-signed to investigate the cooling .c as it fills. Lake monitoring will ::haracte rizu the chemistry and biology of the cooling lake while providing information on the success of the fish stocking program. The sampling schedule for this phase of monitoring is outlined in Tables 291.19-2 and 291.19-3. Details of the lake filling phase are outlined as follows: WATER QUALITY Surface waters will be collected six times por year in the cooling lake at Locations 2 and 6 (Figure 6.1-1). Duplicate water samples will be collected from a depth of one meter using non-metallic water camplers with the exception of bac-teriological and oil and grease sampics which will be collected at the surface of the water. Water quality parameters are presented in Tabic 291.19-1. Preservation and analytical methods for water quality appear in ER(OLS) Table 6.1-5. PilYTOPLANKTON Water samples fo r phytoplankton analysis will be collected six times per year at Locations 2 and 6 (Figure 6.1-1; Table 291.19-2). Tge samples will be stored in bottles containing m preservative. The inverted microscope method will be used to determine phytoplankton species composition and abundance. Oil immersion will be utilized for identification and enumeration using the following reporting units: Algal Form Reporting Unit units /ml) Diatoms Each frustule Unicel lu la r Each cell Colonial 4 cells (colonial blue-greens like Microcystis are reported in 50 cell units) Filamentous 100 m lengths Rev. 2 291-18 6/81
WCGS-ER(OLS) f R291.19 (continued) Biovolume determinations will be made using the geometrical configuration that best suits the species and will be expressed as microliters per liter ( 1/1). Appropriate taxonomic keys will be used as identification aids. Carbon fixation rates and chlorophyll a concentrations will be determined and used as indices of phytoplankton primary productivity. ZOOPLANKTON Duplicate zooplankton samples will be collected s ix times per year at Locations 2 and 6 in the cooling lake (Figure 6.1-1; Table 291.19-2). The zooplankton community will be sampled with a conical plankton nct. At each location, two bottom to surface hauls will be collected, com-bined, and preserved. Samples will be examined qualitatively to generate a checklist of zooplank-ton occurring in the cooling lake. Replicates will be collected at each location to determine mean zooplankton standing crop (mg/1). PERIPIIYTON
~ Periphyton collections in WCCL will not be initi-ated until the cooling lake reaches operating pool s '~
' Icvel (1087 MSL) or one year prior to station operation. Sample analysis, upon initiation of collections, will be similar to analytical methods utilized on Neosho River samples.
MACROINVEPTEBRATES Duplicate bottom samples will be collected six tirnos per year from Locations 2 and 6 in the cool-ing lake (Figure 6.1-1; Tabic 291..'9-2). Samples will be collected using a Ponar grab quantitative collecting device. All quantitative samples will be sieved and the organisms that are retained will be fixed and stained. All organisms will be identified to spe-cies, if possible, or to the lowest positive taxo-nomic level. Identifications will be made using appropriate taxonomic keys. All benthic data will be reported as the numbeg of organisms per square meter of substrate (no./m ). PISil The fishery study will provido data useful to KG&E's management effort.

WCGS-ER(OLS) H291.19 (continued) follows recommendations made in The Kansas Fish and Game Commission manual of survey techniques for reservoir management. The sampling schedule for fishe ry studies during lake-fill appears in Tabic 291.19-3. Specifications for gear to be utilized is shown in Tabic 291.19-4. Catch data will be expressed in units of ef fort. Additional parameters measured in the cooling lake will include conductivity, secchi disk readings, and temperature profiles. Physical data (depth, secchi disk and tempe ra tu re ) will be recorded at the beginning and end of each not set. Sampic locations will be established and identified with land marks to ensure consistency over time. A semi-balloon trawl will be used to sample young-of-year (YOY) fish during summer and fall months (Tabic 291.19-3). No la rval fish sampling is scheduled for WCCL during the lake filling phase. The planned ope rational monitoring program will be designed to assess the effects of station dis-charges on the environment. The operational stud-los will be continuations of the pre-operational lake filling phase studies with modifications based on study findings, lake use, and other fac-tors. Changes to sampling frequency and addition-al studies as described in Section 6.2.1 of the ER(OLS) will be implemented. The proposed schedule for operation monitoring is shown in Tabic 291.19-5. La rva l fish sampling will be included in the operational phase monitor-ing of WCCL. Larval fish will be collected on a twice a month basis from April through July at Location 8. YOY and adult fish sampling will fol-low the methodology used in the last year of lake filling phase monitoring. O Rev. 2 291-20 6/81

InJicate the parameters to be monitored, the fro-quency and timing of sampling, the date(s) of pro-gram initiation, its duration and the location of the sampling stations. R291.22 The aquatic monitoring program for the area of the Neosho River near the makeup water intake began in 1973. The results from that monitoring phase un-til the present can be found in the consultant's annual reports and in the ER(CPS), Sections 6.1.1.3.2 and 6.1.1.3.1.1, plus ER(OLS), Sections 2.2.2 and 2.4.3.1.1.1. In 1981, the monitoring in this area will include the following parameters: water quality, phyto-plankton, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates and fish. The schedule of sampling is enclosed and begins on January 1, 1981. The location of the sampling is the Neosho River directly below the stilling basin at John Redmond Reservoir. All fish impingement work is performed at the makeup water screen house (MUSH) which is located on the cast side of the Neosho River about 150 yards below the John Redmond Reservoir dam. The impingement study is pe rfo rmed exclusively by KG&E and was committed to by the utility in the PCS, Section 6.1.3.2. Sample dates within the months are randomly selected. Collection work is performed twice por month from August to March and twice per week from April to July. This impinge-ment monitoring is a one year program which was started in Novembe r, 1980.

WCGs-En(ots) 0291.24 Describe any stocking of fish in WCCL that has al-(ER) ready taken place, including date introduced, species and number introduced. Also provide a de-scription of future plans for stocking fish in the WCCL. H291.24 stocking activities on WCCL, both past and future, are desi'jned to establish a desirable fishery in the lake. A fishery dominated by predator species will reduce negative impacts on plant operations due to impingement of forage and roughfish species. Stocking activities will additionally maintain options concerning future use of the lake. The WCCL stocki.ng program was initiated in 1978 and continued in 1979 with the renovation of so-1ected ponds in the lake area followed by restock-ing with forage and gamefish. In 1980 that por-tion of Wolf Crock owned by KG&E and all ponds on KG&E prnperty not previously renovated were treated to remove roughfish. Major stockings of forage and game species have followed renovation during prelimina ry filling of the cooling lake in 1980 and into 1981. All stocking activities to date are outlined in Tabic 291.24-1. Table 291.24-2 outlines scheduled stocking of fish into the WCCL for 1981 and proposed stocking for 9, the next seve ral years. The numbe r and species outlined in Table 291.24-2 after 1981 are based on a typically developinc fishery. Iloweve r , long-term stocking plans will be modified based on the success of va rious species and may result in increased or decreased rates for a given species. O Rev. 2 291-25 6/81

.the vertical travelling screens' (VTS) into a col-Icction-' pit which drains into the makeup channel.
During low flow, the channel dead ends but still remains contiguous with the reservoir stilling basin. The channel becomes a flow-through system whencycr John Redmond Reservoir releases large amounts of water. Some fish fall back into the channel from the pit. However, because the makeup channel dead ends during the winter months, the fish will either be (A.
^
- recycled on the VTS or caten by the large groups of gulls which visit the area. Decay is slow be-cause of the cold temperatures, thus allowing the gulls ampic time to clean up the dead fish in a couple of days. The slow decay rate of the fish would also minimize any limnological effects which might occur due to the dead fish.
During the winter months, the la rge number of im-pinged fish are pumped from the collection pit into a dumpster and then disposed of onsite. From April to November, the impingement is less than one percent of the number of fish impinged during the winter. These fish will be allowed to drain back into the channel via the collection pit unless a significant number is present. Whereby, the fish will be collected in a 4 foot deep buc-ket not and disposed of in an onsite landfill according to state and local regulations. A sig- , nificant number of fish is that which impedes the i flow of water through the VTS to such a degree as to endanger the operation of the pumps. The ef fect of these fish being returned to the i Neosho River would be minimal. The numbe rs in- [ volved a re small, usually less than 100 per 24-lI\ hour period.

In conclusion, there will be no material returned to the Neosho River f rom the plant intake screens. Material from the MUSII screens could be returned to the Neosho River but the effects should be minimal. O l O Rev. 2 291-27 6/81

( V) (ER)_ the future demand increase in case WCGS does not come on line. Please provide the portion of total incremental . demand satisfied by in-house genera-tion and the purchase from powerpool. R320.10 It is assumed that this question refers to charges that are based on pool obligations . Therefore, the capacity deficiencies used are those' shown in Tables 1.1-1 and 1.1-2 which contain data reported to the MOKAN pool. If WCGS were delayed, KG&E and KCPL . would have to make capacity purchases from outside their systems to cover projected deficien-cies In capacity responsibility. These capacity deficiencies are based on each utility's expected
" capacity responsibility" which includes its sys-tem demand plus firm purchases and sales, etc.
On this basis the projected capacity deficiencies will be as follows, in the event of a delay: Capacity Deficiencies in MW Delay in Years KG&E KCPL O One 37 178 k Two 97 285 x KCPL's deficiencies are based on 20 percent re-serve margin while KG&E's are 15 percent. . KG&E estimates the capacity charge would be
$156.30/KW per year through 1984, calculated as follows:
Capacity charge = $610 per KW x fixed charged rate of approximately .23 = $140.30 plus fixed operations and maintenance (O&M) costs-of $16/KW per year = $156.30 Through 1985 the capacity charge would be
$140.30 plus fixed O&M costs of $17.60/KW per year = $157.90 KCPL estimates that the capacity charge in the time frame 1985-1987 would range between $125 and
$l.50/KW per year.
If the capacity charges estimated by KG&E are ap-plied to the capacity deficiencies above, the fol-lowing total capacity charges are obtained. Rev. 2 320-5 6/81 ! l

In the event of a delay for WCGS, KG&E would use all available coal capacity but then purchase as much outside coal capacity as possible before burning more expensive oil or gas in KG&E plants. It is assumed that the full capa-city deficiency would be purchased about 60 per-cent of the time. On this basis the costs would be as follows: For a one year delay: 37,000 x 8760 x .60 x 1.470 per KWii = $2,858,738 For a two year delay: 97,000 x 8760 x .60 x 1.62C per KWii = $8,259,278 If for the purpose of illustration KCPL's energy costs are computed on the same basis, they would be for one year: 178,000 x 8760 x .60 x 1.47C/KWll = $13,752,850 For two years: 265,000 x 8760 x .60 x 1. 62 C/KWII = $24,266,952 The total capacity charges and energy costs would then be: Total Cost in Thousands Delay Cost Elenent KG&E KCPL One year Capacity charge $ 5,783 $27,821 Energy cmt 2,859 13,753 Total S 8,642 $ 41,574 Two Years Capacity charge $15,316 $45,002 Energy cost 8,259 24,267 Total 23,575 69,269 l Two Years Total Cumulative $32,217 $110,843 l Costs Any delay of WCGS would cause KG&E to burn large quantities of gas and oil.

"D Includes KG&E system demand plus firm transactions.
[3 The 57 MW increase in capacity responsibility in 1984 and 1985 without WCGS is due to KG&E's power (v' ) supply obligations to REC's which are different with and without WCGS. If the " total incremental demand" is defined as the increase in capacity responsibility without WCGS for the years 1984 over 1983 and 1985 over 1984, then the following situation would exist: In 1984 without WCGS, there would be a 98 MW in-creeae in demand, 37 MW of which would have to be purchased outside KG&E. The remaining 61 MW would be satisfied by existing generation. In 1985 there would be an additional 60 MW increase in de-mand, all of which would have to be purchased out-side KG&E. On a cumulative two year basis the increase would amount to 158 MW of which 97 MW would have to be purchased outside KG&E. KCPL will have to make up any deficits through purchases outside the utility (based on a 20% reserve). I m Rev. 2 320-7 6/81 l
WCGS-ER(OLS) 0320.11 What fixed charge rate has been us<d to calculate (ER) the capital cost portion of the total cost of gen-erating electricity by nuclear fuel? Please refer to Table B.2-2. Why is fixed charge into year 1986 higher than the year 1983 (269.10 vs. 217.58 million dollars)? What inflation rates have been used to arrive at 1986 numbers in this table and other places? R320.11 Fixed cha rge rates used to calculate the capital cost portion of the cost of generating electricity by nuclear fuel are as follows: 1984 (Applied for 9 months) 1987 KG&E 23.0% 24.0% KCPL 27.23 21.63 KEPCo 13.82 12.71 The dif ferences in the calculated amounts shown in Table 8.2-2 are due to the facts that the fixed charge is applied for 9 months in 1984 and that taxes and costs of money are different for the individual owners year by year. Inflation rates vary by year but in general are those estimated by Data Resources, Inc. For 1980 and future years they are as follows: INFLATION RATES BY YEARS 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 Materials 9.5 9.9 10.0 9.0 8.6 9.8 9.6 Labor 10.0 10.9 10.6 10.5 10.5 11.4 10.4 The composite escalation rate over the life of the project is estimated to be 8.3 percent.

The response to Question 3 may be extended to answer Question 6. R320.12 Both KG&E and KCPL use computer runs to estimate future system consumption of fuels and to optimize station .use so as to achieve lowest total cost. Unit fuel costs projected to exist in future years are applied to the quantities obtained to deter-mine the costs for additional fossil fuels. In comparing costs with and without WCGS, a credit is taken for nuclear fuel not burned in the without WCGS case.

If so, provide details of the ple If not, explai.n why such a study will not be undertaken. R450.1 A pre-operational fog monitoring program is being planned. The purpose of the study is to document the frequency of occurrence of natural fog (as opposed to fogs induced by the operation of the cooling lake) along Highway 75 which is located from 0.5 miles to 2.0 miles west of the cooling lake. Tab le 2.3-29 of the WCGS FSAR Addendum Revision 1 2/81 shows that the predominant frequency of light wind (less than 3 meters per second) is from the sectors scutheast through south. This corre-s[>onds with the Dames & Moore Program FOGALL enal-yses which shows the maximum increase in ling lake induced fogging frequency alont Highway 75 to occur approximately 3 miles south through 2 miles north ot New Strawn, Kansas. ,~ While the details of the fog raonitoring program are not completely defined at this time, it is anticipated that a transmissometer and continuous analog recorder will be installed along Highway 75 at a point within 2 to 3 miles of New Strawn, Kansas. The instrument will continuously monitor visibility at an elevation of 1.5 to 2 meters above ground level. Maximum visibility resolution will be at least 100 meters. The fog monitoring program will be initiated in An 1981 and will continue through plant startup. annual analysis will be pe rf o rmed to categorize fogging occurrences by visibility classes and to correlate fog occurrences with the meteorological data acquired at the WCGS meteorological tower. A detailed description of the specific fog moni-toring program will be provided in forthcoming revisions to the WCGS ER(OLS) and FSAR Addendum. I

R450.4 Tl procedure used to validate the FOGALL model is de- -ibed in the ca rt ification/use rs manual pro-videu in response to Question 450.3. The verification of FOGALL was performed by exc-cuting two test cases and manually calculating the expected results. One test case utilized source water tempe ratu re constant with time and area. The second case varied the source water tempera-ture over the source area cach hour. In addition, hand calculations were performed to ve ri fy that the results of each cubroutine conformed with the respective applied theoretical model or mathmeti-cal equation. The model design is based upon accepted principles of atmospheric physics; computed values were hand verified; and the test cases were designed to detect fog, no fog, ice, and no ice conditions at defined receptors. The validation procedure, therefore, provides a high degree of confidence that the FOGALL results are representative of actual conditions. O Rev. 2 ' 450-3 6/81 l
