22-7 Traffic

Water Supply Plan - Johnston

22-7 Under the water plan, is it correct that you have assumed an oil run event duration for 3 days? What if there is an extended run of this power plant for more than 3 days while running on oil? Do you agree that this would increase the number of truck trips to and from the site during a week's time or longer? Please explain.


RESPONSE 22-7

The quantity of water and oil stored on site would only allow for 3 days of continuous oil fired operations.  It is not possible to replenish the tanks at a rate to support continuous oil operations beyond 3 days.  Therefore, an extended run for more than 3 days on oil is not possible and the number of truck trips required for replenishment has been correctly addressed in the traffic study.
