<br />Operating License for the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station Draft; Environmental
<br />Impact Statement: Washington, D.C., Submitted to Council on Environmental Quality,
<br />Washington, D,C., 163 p.
<br />
<br />The report concerns a license for an AEC Power Reactor Demonstration Program Plant
<br />located in the South Platte River Valley in the southwest corner of Weld County,.
<br />Colorado. The reactor is of the high-temperature gas-cooled (HTGR) type, with helium
<br />coolant and graphite moderator, The fission energy will be generated at a rated
<br />capacity of 842 megawatts thermal (MWt). The Station will use a closed-cycle,
<br />induced-draft, evaporative cooling tower, The environmental impact will include: No
<br />significant adverse effect on land or water use; There.is reasonable assurance that
<br />State water quality standards will be met; The radiation dose to people is expected to
<br />be about 0.13 mrem/year at the closest boundary; Small quantities of radioactive
<br />materials will be discharged within AEC requirements to keep releases as low as
<br />practicable, There will be no detectable impact due to these releases. There will also
<br />be a small amount of water evaporated, a slight increase in the temperature of the
<br />water, conversion of a small amount of land from agricultural to industrial use, and a
<br />small amount of chemical waste will be released.

<br />VIII, EPA contract 68-01-0734,147 p.
<br />
<br />Field studies and research were conducted to determine the existing institutional
<br />arrangements and financial practices of sixteen wastewater management agencies
<br />within the Denver standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA). Data for each of the
<br />agencies portrayed types and amounts of current revenues and expenditures,
<br />projected revenues and expenditures, and how various classes of expenditures are
<br />financed, A wide range of institutional and financial arrangements are available to
<br />areas and units of government in the provision and operation of wastewater
<br />facilities. No optimum form of institutional or financial arrangements was sought,
<br />but various criteria are suggested by which the selection might be made. Ample legal
<br />authority appears to exist for meeting wastewater management needs within the
<br />Denver SMSA provided that the selection of appropriate arrangements can be made
<br />by the electorate. Policy and administrative considerations in selecting financial
<br />arrangements are more critical to satisfactory solution of needs than are statutory
<br />considerations. The scale and scope of the selected jurisdiction was more critical
<br />than the precise form of institutional arrangement. Strengthened roles for State,
<br />county and municipal governments are foreseen, as well as a continuance of the
<br />important function performed by the Denver Regional Council of Governments.
