Dear Mr. Priee:

This is in reply to Mr. Boyd's letter of August 11 requesting our cannents on Amandment No. 8 to the application by the Toledo Edison Company and the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Campany for a con-stnction permit for the proposed Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Ottava County, Q11o, AEC Docket No. 50-346.

Amand==nt No. 8 firms up the design criteria for the reactor cooling system by addivg a closed cycle water cooling system, incorporating a natural draft cooling tower and related facilities. Construction of the discharge ch* anal formerly considered will not now be re-quired, since no heated water will be discharged to the lake fras the reactor cooling system. Makeup water would be pumped fras Lake Erie to replace water lost by evaporation, drift, and blowdown. The intake structure would be located about 2,500 feet offshore in about 10 feet of water.

Although no heated condenser cooling water would be discharged to the lake, vaste water fras blowdown and fran other facilities in the staticus may be discharged. Any effluent should confons to the water quality standards established by the State of Chio and approved by the Secretary of the Interior.

We are concerned that the cooling veter systes :may pose a potential haurd to the fish resources of the lake. A substantial number of organisms may be attracted and drawn into the intake structure with the makeup water and destroyed. It may be necessary to install a suitable screening facility to prevent the loss of a significant atmiber of aquatic organisms into the intake structure, and the em-struction pemit should be conditicated accordingly.

• Since the cooling tower will dissipate waste heat from the reactor and thus avoid polluting the lake, and construction and operation i of this project as now planned should not present any unresolvable biological and radiological environmental problems, we hereby 4th-draw our opposition to issuance of the construction permit for this project as expressed in our letter of July 14 4 Sincerely ycurs, 54'L.3113:14S H.
