Environmental Impacts of Alternatives an alternate site to bring in equipment during construction. Depending particularly on transmission line routing,siting a new nuclear plant at an alternate greenfield site would result in MODERATE to LARGE land-use impacts. Ecology Locating a replacement nuclear power plant at the Monticello site would alter ecological resources because of the need to convert roughly 500 to 1000 ac of land to industrial use. Some of this land, however, would have been previously disturbed. Table 8-5. Summary of Environmental Impacts of New Nuclear Power Generation at the Monticello Site and an Alternate Site Using Closed-Cycle Cooling Impact Monticello Site Alternate Greenfield Site Category Impact Comment Impact Comment Land Use MODERATE Requires approximately MODERATE Same as Monticello site plus 500 to 1000 ac for the plant and 1000 ac for to LARGE land for transmission line (2500 ac assuming a 60-mi line). uranium mining.

Environmental Impacts of Alternatives Impact Category Waste Human Health Socioeconomics Socioeconomics (Transportation) Impact SMALL SMALL SMALL to MODERATE SMALL to LARGE Mlonticello Site Table 8-5. (contd) Category Waste impacts for an operating nuclear power plant are set out in 10 CFR 51, Appendix B, Table B-1. Debris would be generated and removed during construction. Human health impacts for an operating nuclear power plant are set out in 10 CFR 51, Appendix B, Table B-1. During construction, impacts would be MODERATE. Up to 2500 workers during peak period of the 6-year construction period. Operating work force assumed to be similar to current Monticello plant; tax base preserved. Impacts during operation would be SMALL. Transportation impacts associated with construction workers could be MODERATE to LARGE. Transportation impacts of commuting plant personnel would be SMALL. Aesthetics SMALL No exhaust stacks or cooling towers would be needed. Daytime visual impact could be mitigated by landscaping and appropriate color selection for buildings. Visual impact at night could be mitigated by reduced use of lighting and appropriate shielding. Noise Impacts would be relatively small and could be mitigated. Impact SMALL SMALL SMALL to LARGE SMALL to LARGE SMALL to LARGE Alternate Greenfield Site Category Same impacts as Monticello site. Same impacts as Monticello site. Construction impacts depend on location. Impacts at a rural location could be LARGE. Wright County would experience loss of tax base and employment, possibly offset by economic growth. Transportation impacts of construction workers could be MODERATE to LARGE. Transportation impacts of commuting plant personnel could be SMALL to MODERATE. Greatest impact is from the new transmission line that would be needed. August 2006 8-37 NUREG-1437, Supplement 26
