mix together, therefore a 2.2 percent

uprate of DCNPP Unit 1 will tend to

increase the temperature change by 1.1

percent, or approximately 0.2 °F.

DCNPP operates in compliance with a

National Pollution Discharge

Elimination System (NPDES) Permit,

which requires all effluents to be closely

monitored to assure compliance with

the permit levels. DCNPP does not

expect any effluent increases due to the

power uprate of DCNPP Unit 1. With

regards to potential non-radiological

impacts, the proposed action would not

change the method of operation at

DCNPP or the methods of handling

effluents. No changes to land use would

result and the proposed action does not

involve any historic sites. Therefore, no

new or different types of nonradiological environmental impacts are

expected. Accordingly, the NRC

concludes that there are no significant

non-radiological environmental impacts

associated with the proposed action.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

As an alternative to the proposed

action, the staff considered denial of the

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’

alternative). Denial of the application

would result in no change in current

environmental impacts, but would

reduce the operational flexibility that

would be afforded by the proposed

change. The environmental impacts of

the proposed action and the alternative

action are not significantly different.

Alternative Use of Resources

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the FES for DCNPP.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on October 3, 2000, the staff consulted

with the California State official, Mr.

Steve Hsu, of the Radiologic Health

Branch of the State Department of

Health Services, regarding the

environmental impact of the proposed

action. The State official had no

comments.

Finding of no Significant Impact

Based upon the environmental

assessment, the NRC concludes that the

proposed action will not have a

significant effect on the quality of the

human environment. Accordingly, the

NRC has determined not to prepare an

environmental impact statement for the

proposed action.

For further details with respect to the

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter

dated December 31, 1999, as

supplemented by letters dated January

18, July 7, September 22, and September

29, 2000, which may be examined, and/

or copied for a fee, at the NRC’s Public

Document Room, located at One White

Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first

floor), Rockville, Maryland. Publicly

available records will be accessible

electronically from the ADAMS Public

Library component on the NRC Web site

(the Electronic Reading Room).

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 19th day

of October 2000.

information is necessary for the proper

performance of functions of the Office of

Personnel Management, and whether it

will have practical utility;

• Whether our estimate of the public

burden of this collection is accurate,

and based on valid assumptions and

methodology; and

• Ways in which we can minimize

the burden of the collection of

information on those who are to

respond, through use of the appropriate

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.
