INTRODUCTION The WNP-2 Environmental Protection Plan (Appendix 8 to Operating License No.

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 NRC.

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 addresses 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 UESTIONS 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).

No design or operational

changes, tests, or experiments in 1987 involved an unreviewed environmental 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 (SOl-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 1987 and comparisons with previous years are summarized below.

Soil Chemistr Results The results of the 1987 soil chemical analyses are presented in Table 1

and ar'e 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 generally lower than measurements in previous years (Figure 2).

Soil conductivity was higher at all stations over 1986 and was the highest ever measured at Station S03 and S05 (Figure 3).

oO OO As in 1986 soil sulfate concentrations at all sites were low (Figure 4).

Calcium (Figure 5) was within the range of measurements for previous years except at Station 601 which was lower than ever recorded.

Magnesium (Figure

6) was within the range of previous measurements and showed little station-to-station variability.

Sodium (Figure 7) and potassium (Figure 8) measurements were generally higher than in 1986 but still lower than the preoperational period.

Except for Station

S05, measurements of bicarbonate (Figure 9) were within the range of previous measurements.

Soil fluoride and chloride (Figures 10 and

11) were general.ly. higher in. 1987 than in 1986.. The, highest.

chloride concentrations since commencement of the monitoring program were recorded at Stations

G03, G04, and S04.

Relative to the 1986 data, soil copper (Figure 12) was higher at four stations (603,

S01, S03, and S05) and lower at the other five.

The highest copper measured by the program was at Station S01.

Lead (Figure 13) was higher at all stations in 1987.

Soil cadmium, chromium, nickel, and zinc (Figures 14-17) were within the range of concentrations previously recorded.

Soil mercury (Figure 18) was lower than ever recorded at several stations.

Ve etation Chemistr Results The results of the 1987 vegetation chemical analyses are presented in Table 2.

1f, d

I1 i

<<i i ~b tectorum are shown in Figures 19 through 24.

With a few exceptions, vegetation copper concentrations were similar to f

elevated slightly at Station G01 and lower than previous years at Stations G02, S01,

S02, and S03.

Extractable sulfate concentrations in all species were within the ranges of measurements for previous years.

Extractable chloride concentrations, with a few exceptions, were also within the range of concentrations measured in previous years.

Chloride in Poa sandber ii (Figure

23) was the highest ever recorded at Stations

G03, S04, and SOS.

In Bromus tectorum (Figure 24) chioride was the highest ever measured at Station G03 but was within the range of previous measurements for this species at all other stations.

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

NONROUTINE REPORTS During 1987 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.

There were no instances of noncompliance in 1987.
