IHTRODUCTION The WNP-2 Environmental Protection Plan (Appendix 8 to Operating License Ho.

NPF-21) addresses the protection of nonradiological environmental values dur-ing plant operation.

Section 3.0 of the EPP requires that changes in plant design and operation be assessed for environmental impacts against the impacts which were projected by the NRC at the time the plant was licensed.

Changes which involve an unreviewed environmental question (defined in the EPP) must be approved by the HRC.

Section 4.0 requires the reporting of events which may result in significant environmental impacts and also requires a soil and vegetation monitoring program to evaluate cooling tower drift impacts.

Section 5.0 addr esses administrative matters and requires an annual report on several EPP conditions including the monitoring program.

This Annual Environ-mental Operating Report is submitted per Section 5.4.1 of the EPP.

UNREVIEWED ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONS A proposed

change, test, or experiment is deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question, if it concerns:

(1) a matter which may result in sig-nificant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the environmental licensing documentation; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level; or (3) a matter not previously evaluated in the environmental documentation which may have a significant adverse environmental impact (EPP Section 3.1).

Ho changes in WNP-2 design or operation, or tests or experiments in 1986 involved an unreviewed environmontal question.

COOLING TOWER DRIFT STUDIES Section 4,2.1 of the EPP requires a monitoring program to assess the effects of cooling tower drift.

As in previous years, soil and vegetation samples were collected in Hay at four grassland (G01-G04) and five shrub (S01-S05) sites (see Figure 1) and analyzed for relevant chemistry parameters.

Analyt-ical methods were described in the Environmental Operating Report for 1985.

The results for 1986 and comparisons with previous years are sumnarized below.

Soil Chemistry Results The results of the 1986 soil chemical analyses are presented in Table 1 and are shown graphically in Figures 2 through 18.

Soils at all sample sites range from sandy to sandy loam and contain a low percentage of clay.

Soil pH values were well within the range of measurements in previous years.

Other than a three-year decline at site

G03, no trends were apparent (Figure 2).

Soil conductivity ranged from 13.6 microsiemens/cm at site S05 to 50.8 at G04.

The large increases noted in 1985 at sites

GOl, G02, and C43 were not evident in 1986 (Figure 3).

Soil sulfate concentrations at all sites were low (Figure 4).

Calcium (Figure 5) and magnesium (Figure 6) values were near the means for previous

ears.

Site G02 experienced a marked increase in calcium concentration etween 1985 (0.27%) and 1986 (0.57%).

Sodium (Figure 7) and potassium (Figure 8) measurements were generally lower than in previous years.

Soil bicarbonate at all sites was within the range of previous measurements.

Fluo-ride and chloride (Figures 10 and 11) were also within the range of concentra-tions previously recorded.

Soil copper was measured at levels generally exceeding previous measurements (Figure 12).

However, at site G03, which is closest to the cooling towers, the concentration (10.6 ug/g) was near the median for previous years.

Lead and cadmium concentrations (Figures 13 and 14) were at the lower end of the historical data.

Chromium measurements were near the means of previously recorded data (Figure 15).

Nickel concentrations showed increases over the past three years at sites

G01, G02, G04, and S01 (Figure 16).

Several values were the highest recorded since the study began in 1980.

Soil mercury and zinc were within the ranges previously recorded.

Ve etation Chemistry Results The results of the 1986 vegetation chemical analyses are presented in Table 2.

tectorum are shown in Figures 19 through 24.

Copper concentrations were similar to measurements for previous years with some exceptions.

The copper in Sisymbrium al tissimum at site G04'as approxi-tions in Poa sandbergii were markedly elevated at sites

G02, G04,

S02, and S05.

Bromus tectorum exhibited a large increase in copper at site G03.

With very ew excep

~ons, concentrations of chloride and sulfate in all species were near the means recorded for previous years.

b hi Soil and Ve etation Stud Summary Although some stations show departure from means of historical data for some chemical constituents, no trends or adverse impacts are apparent.

The cooling tower drift study may be modified in 1987 to allow for better evaluation of spatial relationships and time trends.

NONROUTINE REPORTS During 1986 there were no nonroutine reports required by Section 5.4.2 of the EPP nor were there any EPP noncompliances.

NPDES PERMIT-RELATED REPORTS monthly discharge monitoring reports are submitted to the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC).

A summary of the reported data is shown in Table 3.

They were no instances of noncompliance in 1986.
