Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT January 1, 2001 - December 31, 2001 for NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 2 Facility Operating License NPF-69 Docket Number 50-410

ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT Section 5.4.1 of the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP), as contained in Appendix B of the Operating License for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit 2, requires that an Annual Environmental Operating Report be submitted to the Commission prior to May 1 of each year.

The following addresses the requirements found in Section 5.4.1 of the EPP for the submittal of the Annual Environmental Operating Report:

1. Provide summaries and analyses of the results of the environmental protection activities requiredby Section 4.2 (if any) of the EPP, including a comparison with related preoperationalstudies, operationalcontrols (as appropriate),and previous non radiologicalenvironmental monitoring reports,; and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operationon the environment. If harmful effects or evidence of trends toward irreversibledamage to the environment are observed, a detailed analysis of the data and a proposed course of mitigating action shall be provided.

Section 4.2 of the EPP denotes three areas of environmental monitoring:

Section 4.2.1 (Aquatic Monitoring) has no specific monitoring requirements although it is noted that the Commission will rely on the decisions made by the State of New York under the authority of the Clean Water Act for any requirements. Aquatic monitoring is specified in the station's State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (SPDES Permit) which is a site permit applicable to Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit 1 and Unit 2. The SPDES Permit requires a limited Aquatic Monitoring Program (referred to in the permit as a Biological Monitoring Program) which, at the present time, is only applicable to Unit 1. Therefore, no Aquatic Monitoring Program is presently required for Unit 2.

• Section 4.2.2 (Terrestrial Monitoring) does not contain any monitoring requirements.

• Section 4.2.3 (Noise Monitoring) does not contain any monitoring requirements.

2. Provide a list of EPP noncompliances and corrective actions.

A review of the EPP requirements and plant records showed that there were no conditions of noncompliance with the EPP requirements during 2001. Therefore, no corrective actions were required.

3. Provide a list of all changes in station design or operation, tests, and experiments made in accordancewith EPP Section 3.1 which involved a potentially significantunreviewed environmental question (non-radiological).

A review of plant records showed that there were no changes during 2001 in station design/operation that involved a potentially significant unreviewed environmental question (non-radiological).

4. List all non-routine reports that were submitted during 2001 in accordancewith Section 5.4.2 of the EPP.

During 2001, there were no non-routine reports submitted to the Commission in accordance with Section 5.4.2 of the EPP.
