Please refer to paragraph 2 on page 9 of 12 (pdf page 9 of 377) for Coastal Commission’s conclusions regarding groundwater contacting the bottom of the ISFSI. Here it concluded that “Increases in the water table elevation related to sea level rise could potentially lead to intermittent ... groundwater contact with the base of the ISFSI toward the end of the proposed 35-year life of the project. However, the design of the ISFSI is such that there are multiple barriers, including the 3-foot thick foundation pad and the steel cavity enclosure container (CEC), between the groundwater and the fuel storage casks, and limited contact with groundwater would not undermine the structural integrity of the ISFSI during the proposed project life.”

Document should be referenced for special condition #2, which requires SCE to return to apply for an amendment to retain, remove or relocate the ISFSI. This condition requires, among other things, a review of current and future coastal hazards in year 2035.

Letter from SCE to the California Coastal Commission discussing the H++ sea level rise scenario, an extreme prediction model.

The purpose of this position paper is to explain how spent nuclear fuel stored at the San Onofre site (at the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation and Units 2&3 Spent Fuel Pools) is protected against a potential tsunami hazard.

Use, maintenance, and decommissioning of existing offshore improvements associated with the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Units 2 and 3, consisting of two offshore intake conduits and two offshore discharge conduits and associated
appurtenances, five navigational and monitoring buoys, one fish return conduit, four Large Organism Exclusion Devices, and riprap.

Contains lease provision #14, which requires among other things, that SCE shall provide annual SLR vulnerability report, using OPC 2018 H++ and medium-high projections. Lease provision #14 also requires quarterly groundwater elevation data collected from onsite monitoring wells.
