OBJECTIVES,

The Licensee submitted an Environmental Report-Operating License Stage forthe Susquehanna SES to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inMay 1978. This report reviewed the results of the preoperational impacts ofconstruction and described the'preoperational and proposed operational

'nvironmental monitorin'g programs: The NRC and other agencies reviewed thisreport and made recommendations for operational environmental monitoring

, programs which were listed in the Final Environmental Statement (FES) relatedto the operation of the Susquehanna SES, Unit 1 and 2, NUREG-0564,June 1981. In addition, the Licensee developed procedures and guidelines toensure that operation of the Susquehanna SES does not adversely affect theenvironment in the vicinityof the station.

Procedures were developed to allocate responsibilities and interfaces necessaryto monitor environmental impacts.'hese include coordination of NRCrequirements and consistency with other federal, state, and local requirementsfor environmental protection. To keep the NRC informed of other agencyactivities, copies of environmental correspondence are routinely provided. In

addition, this 1994 Annual Environmental Operating Report (Nonradiological)provides a summary of both environmental programs and procedures asrequired in the FES and Appendix B - Environmental Protection Plans (EPP) toOperating Licenses,'o. NPF-14 and No. NPF-22. The 1994 report is the 13thAnnual Environmental Operating Report (Nonradiological) submitted to meetEPP requirements.

2.0 ENVIRONMENTALISSUES

2.1 A~tiI

The aquatic monitoring program for operation of the Susquehanna SES isdivided into two phases. Phase 1 includes effluent monitoring required by .

a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitissued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources(PaDER). Monthly discharge monitoring reports are submitted to thePaDER as part of the permitting requirements. The station operationalNPDES permit No. PA-0047325 was reissued on January 22, 1990, andwas to expire on January 21', 1995, however, it was administrativelyextended by the PaDER. Phase 2 of the aquatic monitoring programdeals with programs listed in the FES involving environmental monitoring.

The PaDER,in Phase 1 is responsible for regulating the water qualitypermit for the Susquehanna SES. The NPDES permit deals withdischarge parameters for the Susquehanna SES sewage treatment plant,cooling tower blowdown, and miscellaneous low volume wastedischarges. The cooling tower blowdown also includes in-plant process

— streams which discharge to the Susquehanna River. Various low volume,waste sumps discharge to the storm sewers which flow into Lake Took-a-while, and eventually into the Susquehanna River.

The parameters monitored in the sewage treatment plant effluent limitsare as follows:

FlowpHTotal Suspended Solids (TSS)Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD-5)Fecal Coliforms

In-plant process effluents combine with the cooling tower blowdownbefore being released to the Susquehanna River. These process.effluents are monitored for flow, TSS, and oil and grease. Parametersmonitored in the combined cooling tower blowdown to the SusquehannaRiver are:

FlowpHChromiumZinc

2-1

The parameters monitored in the various low volume waste sumps anddrains that discharge to storm sewers leading to Lake'Took-a-while are:

FlowpHTSSOil and Grease

I

The Licensee has replaced gaseous chlorine at the Susquehanna SESwith Betz Clam-Trol CT-1 as a microbiological control treatment.Approval of the use of this product is included in the station's NPDESpermit. Also, zinc and sulfuric acid are no longer used for treatment ofcirculating water.

Phase 2 of aquatic monitoring progiams, identified in the FES andAppendix B of the Operating License for the Susquehanna SES, includedmonitoring algae and benthic macroinvertebrates both above the intakeand below the discharge to the Susquehanna River. Requirements forthese activities 'were completed in 1988.

The Susquehanna Anadromous Fish Committee administered the captureof a record high 32,330 American shad in the two fish lifts below theConowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River from April22 th'roughJune 12, 1994. Of these, 28,681 shad were transported and stockedupstream of all major dams (Ref. 2.1-1). After these stockings, largenumbers of adult shad were observed in the Juniata,River, but none wererecorded near Sunbury, Pennsylvania, or farther up the Susquehanna

- River. In addition, inflation of the Sunbury fabridam in mid-May wouldhave blocked shad migration beyond Sunbury to the Susquehanna SES

- which is 45 miles farther upriver. Consequently, Mr. Richard St. Pierre,,Susquehanna River Coordinator for the U.S. Fish and WildlifeService,canceled autumn monitoring for impinged juvenile American shad at the-

intake of the Susquehanna SES (Exhibit 1). Monitoring will resume ifthere is any likelihood that substantial numbers of juveniles will out-

" . migrate past the intake in autumn'1995. '.The 1993 agreement to return American shad and other migratory fish,including the American eel, to the Susquehanna River. by the year 2000stipulates the following:

1. Pennsylvania Power 8 Light Company will construct two lifts at theHoltwood Hydroelectric Dam. These lifts are scheduled for completion

by 1996 in time for the spring 1997, migration of American shad.

2. Baltimore Gas and Electric Company and Pennsylvania Power & LightCompany will complete one liftat Safe Harbor during construction ofthe Holtwood lifts.

3. Metropolitan Edison willcomplete one liftat the York HavenHydroelectric Station by 1999 for service by 2000.

4

The lifts at Holtwood and Safe Harbor will reopen shad and eel migrationto 35 miles of the Susquehanna River within the next five years. The YorkHaven passage will reopen an additional 200 miles of river for thesefishes three years later. These projects are all on schedule.

The biofouling mollusk monitoring program continued at the Susquehanna9991 1994. Th hh*h 1 (9 1 ~ll )h 9

found repeatedly in samples near Johnson City, New York, about 150miles upriver, and Asiatic clams (corbicula ~fluminea have been confirmed40 miles downriver at Northumberland, Pennsylvania, neither of thesespecies have yet been found in the vicinityof the Susquehanna SES.

The monitoring program currently involves a biweekly schedule ofwater'nd

artificial and natural substrate sampling in the river in the vicinityofthe Susquehanna SES River Intake Building from May through November.Artificialsubstrates are also maintained in side-stream samplers locatedin the Intake Building and on the plant site. In addition, scuba diversperformed inspections of natural substrates in the river on 10 dates inJune through October, and in the Emergency Service Water Spray Pondon August 23 and 24, 1994.

2.2 Terrestrial Issues

2.2.1 Studies Previousl Com leted

Terrestrial environmental studies completed prior to 1989 included .

cooling tower bird impaction and sound level surveys.

2-3


During 1994, trees and brush in the transmission line corridorswere maintained with herbicides and by manual clearing. Theterrestrial monitoring program for the Susquehanna SES.transmission lines was initiated in response to commitments inSection 5.3.5 of the FES. Three major transmission lines areassociated with the Susquehanna SES: 1) Stanton-SusquehannaNo. 2-500 kV line, 2) Sunbury-Susquehanna No.-2-500 kV line and3) Susquehanna-Wescosville 500 kV line (former Susquehanna-Siegfried line). These lines may be operated at either 230 kV or500 kV. The maintenance program for transmission line corridorsis discussed in detail in subsection 4.2.1 of this report. ~

The schedule for conducting periodic erosion control inspections ofthese lines and access roads is based on the age of the line.Susquehanna's tr'ansmission lines are inspected twice per year byfoot patrols and three times per year by helicopter patrols. Acomprehensive overhead inspection is performed once every five'years.

'I

In 1994, the three transmission lines and corridors were inspectedby helicopter and foot patrols. Areas of minor soil erosion alongthese corridors identified during these inspections have since beenrepaired.

2.3 'ultural Resources Issues \

I I

Environmental Pro(ection Plan actions required to satisfy Title'36, Code of,Federal Regulations Part 800, relating to archeological sites, werecompleted in 1987. The Advisory,Council on Historic Preservation(ACHP), in accordance with 36 CFR 800.6 (a)(1),'approved the NRC'sdetermination of "no adverse effect" for archeological sites SES-3, SES-6,SES-B, and SES-11 located on the Licensee's property (NRC letter dated'October 28, 1987, to ACHP).

As part of the determination of effect process, the Licensee'committed'toand is taking appropriate measures to mitigate impacts from plantmaintenance and operation to sites SES-3, SES-6, SES-8 and SES-11.=

There was no impact to these sites from plant maintenance and operation.in 1994.

3.0 CONSISTENCY REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Plant Desi n and 0 eration

In accordance with the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP), theLicensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation ofproposed changes in plant design, operation, or performance of any testor experiment which may significantly affect the environment. Beforeinitiating such activities, the Licensee shall provide a written evaluationand obtain prior approval from the Director, Officof Nuclear ReactorRegulation. Criteria for the need to perform an environmental evaluationinclude: (1) a significant increase in any adverse environmental

impact'reviouslyevaluated by the NRC or Atomic Safety and Licensing Board,

(2) a significant change in effluent or power level, or (3) a matter notpreviously evaluated which may have a significant adverse enyironmehtal,impact.

The EPP requires that ifan activity meets any of the criteria to perform anenvironmental evaluation, the NRC willbe notified. Ifthe change, test, orexperiment does not meet any of these criteria, the Licensee willdocument the evaluation and allow the activity to occur.

During operation of the Susquehanna SES in 1994, there were threeproposed activities which the Licensee reviewed as part of theunreviewed environmental question program. None of these threeactivities were determined to be an unreviewed environmental question.These were:

An environmental evaluation of the discharge of 450,000 gallons ofwater from the Clarified Water Tank to the storm drains wasconducted. Since the free available chlorine level in the water was<0.05 mg/I, it was determined that any chlorine in the water shouldbe dissipated in the storm drains prior to reaching thesedimentation or recreation ponds.

An evaluation for removal and/or cutting trees around the site's300-foot meteorological tower was conducted. A small grove oftrees approximately 25 to 30 feet high were thought to beinterfering with instruments at the 30-foot level. To minimizeerosion, the trees were to be cut leaving the stumps. Also, thetrunk and branches were to be chipped for mulch. This activity wasconducted in March 1995.

3-1

3. Discharge of Condensate Storage Tank. berm rain water wasevaluated. Options included 1) discharge to the storm drains, '8nd,

-2) collection by tanker and discharge into the Cooling Tower Basinand eventually to the river via cooling tower blowdown. OptionTwo was selected and the water was analyzed for radioactivitybefore being discharged.

3.2 Re ortin Related to NPDES Permits and State Certifications

All reports and information required by the NPDES Permit were submittedto both the NRC,and PaDER. Pennsylvania is a NPDES PermittingAgreement State with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,therefore, state certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean WaterAct is not required.

Y

, 3.3 Chan es Re uired for Com liance with Other Environmental Re ulations1

During 1994, a renewal application was submitted to the PaDER for .,

NPDES permit no. 0047325. A permit-is expected in 1995.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTALCONDITIONS

4.1 Unusual or Im ortant Environmental Events

During 1994, three operating occurrences were reviewed as part of thepotentially significant environmental event evaluation.

These events were as follows

1. There was a discharge of halon from the Security Control Ce'nter fireprotection system. Approximately 200 lbs. of this ozone-depletingchemical was discharged into the atmosphere. This discharge wasnot reportable under the Clean AirAct, Superfund, or CommunityRight-to-Know regulations.

f2. An automatic pressure relief valve discharged about 400 lbs. of R-12,

a chlorofluorocarbon, from the Turbine Building Chiller into theatmosphere. The discharge was below regulatory reportingrequirements and, like the halon release, was not considered to besignificant.

3. Approximately 520 lbs. of 50% ethylene glycol solution was spilled intoa bermed area. The solution then leaked through a joint into thesurrounding soil. Since this was a reportable spill, the NationalResponse Center, PaDER, Luzerne County Emergency ManagementAgency, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency, was contacted.The area affected was approximately 45 square feet. Even thoughthis event was reportable, it was of negligible environmentalsignificance. Ethylene glycol is used as a commercial de-icing agentfor the road.

The joints of the bermed areas have been refurbished and re-caulked.

Dear Mr. Fields,

During late Aprilthrough ear!y June, 1994, about 32,300 American shad were collected atConowingo Dam and most ofthese were transported to release sites at Middletown andColumbia, PA. Large numbers ofshad were observed in the Juniata River, but I received norecord offish being taken near Sunbury or points further north. Also, with the inflation oftheSunbury fabridam in mid-May, few shad released below Harrisburg would have had time to reachNorth Branch waters before damming.

Considering these limitations, and the likelihood that little spawning could have occurred nearPPAL's Susquehanna SES at Beach Haven, I do not recommend sampling for shad at that site thisfall. Please call ifwe need to discuss this further.

Sincerely,

Richard St. PierreSusquehanna River Coordinator
