The operation of Limerick with dependence on Schuylkill water for l
cooling will enda ger the health and safety of downstream water users by l
l n
l threatening the bi ogical life of the river and drawing upon reserves of l
drinking water,and onsuming water needed by industry to maint,in jobe.
- 1. G.
PEco's. use of Schuylkill water is inimical to family and community l
services and community health and safety because of the threat to publio water i
supply.
Even in this time of drou.tht Mr4V.S. Boyer, PEco V.P. called upon DRVC in his written statement on 5/7/85 for "squitable demands upon all ta-l poundsents" despite PICo's igygesent with DRBC to be limited by flow condi-t tions in the Schuylkill.
This Mn violation of PEco's agreement with DRBC and in violation of the conditions of ge NRC license.
- 1. R. Furthermore, PEco is in violation Appendix B of license NPF-27 i
3 Geot. 31 of thd Appendix requires that 'the licensee shall prepare and re-(
cord an environmental evaluation" before making such an application as this one to change the consumptive dea nds on the Schuylkill river.
f n
Sect. 5 3 requires "an asseessent of the environmental impact" and "NRC ap-proval of the proposed changes in the form of a license amendment incorpora-ting the appropriate revision to the SPP" (2nvironmental Protection Plan)
PEco's application to DRDC violates b*oth of these requirements of Appendix B.
