  2. UniStar - Constellation joint venture with EdF • Applications • State permit – Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Maryland PSC) • Case 9127 – CPCN issued June 2009 • Case 9218 – CPCN issued August 2010 • Federal permit – Combined Construction and Operating License (NRC/USACE); PPRP – State lead for NRC review; Maryland participating as an “Interested State.”

  3. Barge Slip New UniStar Unit (CC3) New Intake Existing Intake Structure CC3 Hybrid Cooling Tower Existing 2 Units CC3 Switch Yard If constructed, CCU3 would be one of the largest nuclear plants in the world. Benefits would include ~350 new jobs and ~$20M annual property tax payments. Artist’s rendering

  4. Case 9127 - Impacts • Critical Area • Forest • Streams & Wetlands • Habitats • Oyster • Bald Eagle • Threatened/Endangered Species • Tiger Beetle • Showy Goldenrod • Archaeological/Historical/Cultural • Water • Air • Traffic ~ 100 recommended CPCN conditions

  5. Other Case 9127 CPCN Conditions: • Site Redress Plan • Significant reduction or elimination of ground water use from CCNPP 1 & 2 from CCU3 Desalination Plant (excess capacity) • Analyze alternatives for the unanticipated event of the unavailability of the desalination plant • CPCN reopened if Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conditions conflict with CPCN conditions • Draft EIS issued 04/2010: Consistent with CPCN Case 9217; did not address changes stemming from Case 9218. PPRP submitted comments to NRC 07/2010 (no major issues).

  6. Case 9127 CCU3 Air Permit Apply Best Available Control Technology: Cooling Towers (minimize salt drift by drift eliminators & limits on total dissolved solids) Emergency and Station Blackout Diesel Generators (minimize emissions by use of low-sulfur diesel fuel & limits on operation) Artist’s rendering

  7. Case 9218 Changes to the Air Permit: • minor changes to the layout or stack design of the air emissions • add two types of new air emission sources – two emergency fire water pumps and two sponge media blasting units

  8. USACE & MDE Ongoing Evaluations: Streams & Wetlands ~12 acres wetlands, 30 acres of wetland buffers and 8,000 linear feet of stream beds impacts will be mitigated by in-kind creation, restoration or enhancement elsewhere on the property.

  9. CPCN/CAC Approvals – done • USACE/MDE Review on Tidal & Nontidal Wetlands – in sync with NRC schedule • NRC process • Design Certification • Final EIS (02/2011) • Final SER (07/2012) • COL w/ITAAC NRC jurisdiction: Nuclear Waste Disposal Radiological Emergency Planning Decommissioning Risk Assessment Design Safety Analysis Site Specific Safety and Security Analyses
