1.0

Introduction:

This report provides the information required by Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Appendix B Technical Specification, from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001.

2.0 Special Study Programs:

The annual fish out-migration study was conducted during the fall of 2001.

This study characterizes the number and species of fish collected by the intake screens. The results of this study are in Table 1. This data collection fulfills two objectives. It supports the Susquehanna River American Shad restoration program and also provides American Shad specimens to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission for otolith analysis to compare contribution of hatchery and wild fish.

The adult American shad movement study was conducted in the spring of 2001. The purpose of the study was to estimate the proportion of American shad released at Conowingo that reach the Holtwood tailrace and eventually enter the Holtwood fish lift. Of the 204 radio tagged fish leaving the Conowingo fish lift exit flume, 136 (67%) reached Holtwood tailrace. Of these, 85 (62.5%) entered the Holtwood fish lift and 46 of the 136 (33.8%)

subsequently passed Holtwood.

3.0 Plant Changes:

There were no changes to the plant or plant operations, which affected the environmental impact of the facility.

4.0 Environmental Permit Changes:

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit PA0009733 was amended in October 2001 to incorporate a chemical name change. The chemical, formerly named PEC03, a sodium salt of methyl benzotriazole was renamed Inhibitor AZ81 00. This was a name change only.

5.0 The Title V Operating Permit 67-05020 was revised in December 2001. The revision changed the compliance monitoring for the Auxiliary Boilers from an annual 3500 hours0.0405 days <br />0.972 hours <br />0.00579 weeks <br />0.00133 months <br /> of operational time per boiler to a fuel use limit of 2,580,300 gallons total fuel use for both boilers on a 12-month rolling average.
