20 MS. VAN STONE: Hi. My name's Carolina Van
21 Stone and I had a question about the little videos. I
22 guess it's from PG&E. I'm trying to understand all of
23 the spent fuel and in the pools and the cask, but when
24 the video was showing how you would load the spent fuel
25 into those square -- the square grid and then it came
0103
1 above and then it -- you take the water out and then it
2 looked like they have pipes. They said that there were
3 pipes going to these canisters loading fuel into those.
4 Did I totally misunderstand that? I mean, I thought,
5 wait a minute, I am sleepy, but I don't think I got it
6 that wrong. So that's a question I have for you, and
7 that video's not on the little thing out in the front,
8 is it, the new three-minute one that you made?
9 MR. JONES: Yeah, it is.
10 MS. VAN STONE: Okay. I should probably watch
11 that again.
12 And then the other thing about seismic safety
13 and the plant being able to withstand earthquake, that's
14 one thing, but he -- Dr. Budnitz was talking about the
15 tsunami. Well, what's to say if we had an earthquake
16 here that we wouldn't have a subsequent tsunami? That's
17 just a consideration that I had.
18 And then the third thing I think that given all
19 of the controversy with the credibility of casks and if
20 they're corrosive or this or that, I agree with if --
21 the hardened on-site storage would be what I would
22 propose as a public person. Thank you.

Given that there is no good solution to deal with all the waste, I and many others think you should shut down now.

For me the safety for Avila visitors, employees and residents is of PRIMARY IMPORTANCE and involves limiting truck trips for removing radioactive and other materials through Avila to typical times of lowest traffic volume.

The following email was received on 2/25/19 from Justin Cochran in response to questions asked at the Spent Fuel Workshop on 2/22/19. Good day Thomas.

This email is intended to address some of the questions asked by the Panel.

1) Independent Peer Review Panel (IPRP) - The IPRP is still active and the Energy Commission has two staff (engineering geologist, nuclear advisor) that work on IPRP activities. The IPRP is comprised of technical experts from the Energy Commission, California Geological Survey, California Coastal Commission, California Seismic Safety Commission, and the County of San Luis Obispo.

My Ideas for Diablo Canyon I have ideas for the land. I think the land should become a nature preserve with hiking trails, a children's garden, and maybe a lake or pond for birds.Now I will share my ideas for the buildings. I think we should turn some of the buildings into a natural history museum, a rehabilitation zoo, and a welcoming center. I love nature and think this needs to be seen by the people and not destroyed

This website is extremely difficult to navigate! Example: I wanted to compare the views of Alex Karlin and Lauren Brown on the future of the DCDEP. Why isn't there a search box that will use key words to pull up desired information? The only way I was able to find the two documents was by asking a member of the panel for help.

I would like to see the12,000 acres around Diablo Canyon conserved and allow for managed public access and development of multi-use trails, Hikers, mountain bikers and equestrian users. And if possible, create a trail or trails that access to Montana de Oro State Park to allow for connectivity between parks.

Bring it up to date and keep it there it’s been a great plant.

This email exchange (with Tom Luster of the CA Coastal Commission) confirms that the 1200 acres near Point San Luis are protected via an in-perpetuity deed restriction:

Hi Kara,

I just heard back from our legal/property document folks – yes, although that language is confusing, the deed restriction is in perpetuity, as the permit was vested and both the Commission’s adopted findings and the accompanying transcript clarify that PG&E’s offer and the Commission’s approval was based on it being provided in perpetuity.

Hope this helps for now,

Tom L.

Hi Tom – I hope you’re doing well.

On a related question – I just reviewed the Deed Restriction on the 1200 acres adjacent to Point San Luis. The language of the document (see section 2, for example) seems to suggest that the restriction is only in place so long as the steam generator is operating, which I presume closes when the plant does.

But I thought the deed restriction would forever conserve those acres. Am I missing something?

Thanks, Kara

Please make the lands available to public access as soon as possible, particularly multi-use trails for hiking and biking with the input of CCCMB on trail design/construction. Thank you.

I am very excited to see the recommendation for multi-use non-motorized trials connecting to the existing MDO and the Irish Hills trail systems. This is going to be a huge upgrade to our already great local recreation opportunities. The possibility of epic lengths of uninterrupted singletrack, allowing for all day adventures in the backcountry is awesome. Having moved here from Colorado, that is one thing I've missed; the ability to get really deep in the woods on my bike. Glad to see this being proposed! Thank you.

Dear Members of the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel,

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the workshop for re-purposing of the Diablo Canyon lands and facilities. Our presentation to the panel on September 14th provided information about our organization and set out the goals for a potential future home at the Diablo Canyon site. This letter is being submitted to outline the specific needs of our various programs, building square footages, services and land requirements of each to better articulate our vision and goals for your consideration.

The two aspects of our organization’s mission, 1) Wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and release back to the wild, and 2) educational outreach, require shared information, volunteers and staffing so the adjacencies and layout of available existing improvements is quite important. We are open to sharing a building or space for a visitor center and educational outreach with other compatible non-profits and look forward to the opportunity to collaborate and explore options. Ideally, the wildlife rehabilitation clinic and the salt water seabird program would be in close proximity. Because we still need more dialogue about available improvements and lands, we have identified the needs for each program should they need to be in separate locations.

The raptor and mammal housing requires a secluded or isolated area, away from people and traffic but with all weather access. Our goal is to install video cameras for select viewing of animals in care that will be transmitted to both the clinic and the educational outreach location. A large, level land area is needed for a creance field, which is for exercising raptors and owls using falconry techniques (a program we currently utilize at local soccer fields) for body and flight conditioning prior to release.

Following is a listing of our programs and the specific needs for each:

1. COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM
A. 2-3,000 sq. ft. space
1. Possibly shared with other compatible non-profit organizations for visitor center, educational presentations, workshops and wildlife ambassador presentations

2. Community events and volunteer opportunities orientations

3. Video camera connection of enclosures and flight cages for select viewing

2. WILDLIFE REHABILITATION CLINIC
A. 5,000 sq. ft. Clinic Building
1. Reception area for the public to bring in animals, areas for clinic staff offices, training room, break room, restrooms

2. Hospital activities including exam, procedures, surgery suite and recovery rooms

3. Area for baby bird program, including rooms for baby bird enclosures and incubators; isolation room for mammals, raptors, and owls under intensive care

4. Area for oiled birds to be washed per protocals consistant with our affiliation as an OWCN/Oiled Wildlife Care Network (UC Davis) member organization and primary response facility

5. Area for warm water recovery hospital pools and mobile holding cages (called Peli boxes) for seabirds and large raptors (Golden Eagles and Bald Eagles) under intensive care treatment

6. Area for food preperation, food storage and laundry

B. 3 – 5 acres adjacent to clinic building
1. Songbird and bat aviaries; small flight cages to accommodate restricted flight for raptors and owls not yet ready for free flight; flight cages ranging from 6’x8’, 8’x16’, and up to 12’x20’

2. Exterior area for cleaning crates, carriers, and perches with wastewater capability; clothesline area for drying laundry

3. SEABIRD PROGRAM
A. 2,000 sq. ft. Building for seabird rehabilitation
Note: This square footage assumes a location separate from the clinic building. If the two functions can be combined, the overall square footage of them separately could be reduced.
1. Intake exams and procedures, restroom, breakroom/training room

B. 3 – 5 acres adjacent to building
1. Outside pools for ‘Pelagic’ species (ocean living seabirds who must be in water for body support and feeding); multiple 10’ and 12’ diameter above ground pools

2. Access to salt water for seabird pools, perhaps at Area 10 adjacent to the current desal plant. Salt water encourages eating and faster recovery in seabirds, including maintaining hormone and gland strength to process salt water (which decreases when in care with fresh water) and eliminates the need to tube feed salt water solution which is stressful and labor intensive.

3. Enclosed flight cages from 12’x20’ to 16’x100’ with salt water pools for larger housing to promote body conditioning and free feeding

4. Area for recapture/recirculation and process for salt water consistant with all discharge permits

4. MAMMAL/RAPTOR PROGRAM
A. 10 acres
1. Accessible maintenance or storage building

2. Space for multiple raptor (Eagles, Hawks, Falcons) and Owl flight cages from 200 sq.ft. to 1,000 sq. ft for free flight and live hunting

3. Space for mammal caging to accommodate housing in a more secluded area for privacy and separation of species for foxes, coyotes, bobcats and fawns. This would provide increased capacity for larger mammals and a more robust program, which has been requested by California Department of Fish and Wildlife - that we are currently unable to accommodate due to lack of space.

4. Creance Field of level 200’ diameter for exercising raptors and owls for body and flight conditioning prior to release

5. Holding areas for young Bears and Mountain Lions prior to transfer

We appreciate PG&E’s foresight to create the process to solicit public feedback and the hard work the Panel has done to include the community. We recognize that the final decision, fundraising and implementation are many years away but with these long range goals we hope to position Pacific Wildlife Care for a sustained presence into the future.

Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to working with PG&E as the decommissioning process moves forward. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are excited about this opportunity and the generosity of PG&E in exploring options for the repurposing of their site.

Sincerely,

Pacific Wildlife Care Board of Directors

To Whom It May Concern

As Diablo Canyon starts the decommissioning process ,I would hope that this endeavor be put under a PLA ‘project labor agreement ‘. This will insure that the safest and most highly trained local workforce is utilized to its highest potential. It is my sincere belief that PGE owes this to the community to put into place the only mechanism that will insure all of the above

Sincerely

Safety while decommissioning DCPP should be the number one priority. The use of a skilled and trained workforce that has a proven track record for decades at DCPP should be the same workforce used to decommission the facility.

A Project Labor Agreement for the decommissioning of DCPP would ensue that a skilled and experienced local workforce does the job safely.

The Present workforce is trained, reliable and familiar with the plant and procedures. Utilizing this existing workforce would help minimize the economic impact the closure will have on the local economy.

See attached letter of support for making land available to yak tityu tityu yak tilhini - Northern Chumash Tribe.

I understand that there is a RFP for land planning, would you link me to that RFP? I can't find it in the searches I have done. Thanks so much!

I spoke with a couple that are very concerned about the safety of having spent fuel stored on location both in pools and in dry casks. They would like the used fuel relocated away from Diablo Canyon as soon as a storage facility is available, even if it is an interim facility. They have many questions about how the spent fuel is kept secure and question the capability of PG&E to keep the fuel safe.

Notes from meeting on September 14, 2018 with Bob Linscheid representing Cal Poly. Attendees: Frank Mecham, Alex Karlin, Sherri Danoff, Chuck Anders and Lauren Brown. The purpose of the meeting was to follow up on the presentation made during the re-purposing workshop on September 14.

1.) I would like to find out if PG&E can arrange for the panel to meet with the Senior Resident of NRC for Diablo Canyon and ask questions well in advance of the public meeting on Spent Fuel Storage. 2.) I would also like more written details on how PG&E inspects the dry cask storage.
3.) I would also like to know if the panel can have access to the " Holtec inspection manual " for the dry casks. Thank you

I would like to comment on repurposing the marina. The marina is a pristine environment and should remain free of pollutants from boat engines and boat discharges. The marina should be used for educational purposes, day use activities and non-motorized boats. It would be nice if a hiking trail went from Port San Luis to the marina. Restrooms and picnic tables would enhance the visitor experience.
Thank you,
Laura Frank

Will you be meeting with Diablo Canyon’s Emergency Planning Department and the County’s Emergency Planning Office to understand what goes into nuclear power plant planning and response and what capabilities are necessary to retain?

Have you considered having subject matter experts on your panel, even in an advisory capacity?

Why would emergency planning switch to an “all hazards” approach, eliminating emergency plans that are currently in use? Does the local community have robust enough “all hazards plans” and equipment to respond to a zirconium fire?

Will county capabilities to monitor for a radiological release continue after the plant shuts down? These capabilities currently exist through multiple fixed locations as well as with trained county staff and equipment. The county should be able to provide independent monitoring even if only as confirmatory monitoring that no release is in progress.
