1.0
Introduction:
This report provides the information required by Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Appendix B Technical Specification, from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003.
2.0 Special Study Programs:
The annual fish out-migration study was conducted during the fall of 2003.
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.
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 Permits Obtained:
A limited duration Emergency Operation Permit (No. 6703501 E) was issued on January 10, 2003 from PADEP. This permit allowed for the addition of Bentonite to the clarifier to aid in re-establishing a bed for filtration. Since Peach Bottom produces its own drinking water, this permit was required prior to the addition of the Bentonite.
A temporary approval was also granted on December 22, 2003 from PADEP for Title V Permit # 67-05020 to install and operate a temporary boiler. The need for this approval was so that the station could successfully set up and run a temporary boiler in the event the A or B boilers became inoperable.
