Storks Face Habitat Loss Over Reactor Cooling Plan
Wildlife officials blame wetlands destruction and altered water levels in Florida breeding areas for declines in about 9 600 wood storks. The Savannah River Project faces a conflict over cooling water from the L reactor in South Carolina with proposals to use a pond or cooling towers. Environmental groups and state officials oppose moving water via Steel Creek, fearing harm to the storks feeding grounds. The pond plan costs 40 to 50 million dollars and would keep water under 90 degrees while high flow threatens the rookery. The Energy Department rejected cooling towers, citing startup delays. The feeding lake must stay while the reactor operates or the storks abandon the rookery.
