Description of Site and Environment I found that there were no indications of radiological effects of Monticello on the environment (NMC 2005d). A review of historical data on releases from Monticello and the resultant dose calculations revealed that the calculated doses to maximally exposed individuals in the vicinity of Monticello were a small fraction of the limits specified in the Monticello ODCM (NMC 2004b) to meet 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I design objectives, 10 CFR Part 20 dose limits, and EPA radiation standards in 40 CFR Part 190. For 2004, dose estimates were calculated based on actual liquid and gaseous effluent release data and conservative models to simulate the transport mechanisms. The results are described in the 2004 Radioactive Effluent Release Report (NMC 2005e). A breakdown of the calculated maximum dose to an individual located at the Monticello boundary from liquid and gaseous effluents released during 2004 is summarized as follows: " The maximum whole-body dose to offsite member of the general public from liquid effluents was 1.94 x 10"10 mrem, well below the 3 mrem dose design objective in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I. * The maximum whole-body dose to the likely most exposed member of the general public from gaseous effluents was 0.022 mrem, well below the 5 mrem dose design objective in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I. The applicant does not anticipate any significant changes to the <strong>radioactive</strong> effluent releases or exposures from Monticello operations during the renewal period and, therefore, the impacts to the environment are not expected to change. 2.2.8 Socioeconomic Factors 2.2.8.1 Housing Approximately 414 permanent employees and 105 contract and matrixed employees work at Monticello (NMC 2005a). Approximately 41 percent of these employees live in Wright County, 32 percent live in Sherburne County, 7.5 percent live in Hennepin County, and 7.5 percent live in Stearns County. The remaining employees (approximately 12 percent) live in various other locations (NMC 2005a). Given the predominance of NMC and NSP employees living in Wright County and Sherburne County, as well as the absence of the likelihood of significant socioeconomic effects in other locations, the focus of the analysis undertaken in this supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) are on these counties. I NMC refuels Monticello on a nominal 22- to 24-month cycle. During refueling outages, site employment increases by as many as 600 temporary workers for 30 to 40 days. Many of these workers are assumed to be temporarily located in the same geographic areas as the permanent staff. NUREG-1437, Supplement 26 2-30 August 2006 1
Descfiption of Site and Environment Table 2-6 provides the number of housing unit vacancies for Wright and Sherburne counties for 1990 and 2000, the latest year for which information is available.

Local municipalities provide public potable water service to residents who do not have individual onsite wells. These providers are subject to regulation under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, as implemented by the State of Minnesota Department of Health. • Description of Site and Environment Most water systems in the two-county area are operating below maximum capacity. Portions of both Wright and Sherburne counties are experiencing significant population growth, and several municipal water systems (Elk River, Joint Powers Water Board, and Otsego) are responding by increasing capacity with additional wells (EPA 2005). Table 2-7 provides the details of Wright and Sherburne counties' respective water suppliers and capacities. August 2006 2-31 NUREG-1437, Supplement 26
