1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of nonradiological environmental values during operation of the nuclear Facility. The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:

1) Verify that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the Final Environmental Statement- Operating Licensing Stage (FES-OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments.

(2) Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State and local requirements for environmental protection.

(3) Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility operation and of actions taken to control those effects.

Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.

1 -1 Amendment No.180,

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL dated April, 1984, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of the two unit Limerick Generating Station. Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment.

2.1 Aquatic Issues (1) During operation, the station blowdown temperature will exceed the maximum permissible temperatures set by the applicable water quality standards. However, the affected area of the Schuylkill River is expected to be smaller than the maximum area permitted by the Delaware River Basin Commission. (FES Section 5.3.2.2)

(2) The water quality of the station discharge, after initial mixing with the Schuylkill River, is predicted to, at times, exceed the applicable quality criteria for some constituents, based on source water maximum constituent concentrations. These exceedances are expected for con-stituents whose maximum river concentrations also exceed the applicable criteria. (FES Section 5.3.2.3) 2-1

(3) Chlorination of station cooling waters for condenser and cooling tower biofouling control may result in some adverse impacts to Schuylkill River biota in the vicinity of the station discharge (FES Section 5.3.2.3)

(4) Operation of the Point Pleasant Diversion will alter the hydrology, aquatic habitats, and water quality of the headwater section of the East Branch of Perkiomen Creek but the diversion waters are expected to provide beneficial dilution of waste loads entering the stream in its middle and lower reaches. (FES Sections 5.3.2.3 and 5.2.2)

(5) The supplemental cooling water withdrawal from Perkiomen Creek using state-of-the-art technology will result in localized effects from entrainment of fish larvae. (FES Section 5.5.2) 2.2 Terrestrial Issues No specific terrestrial issues were identified by the NRC staff in the FES-OL.

2.3 Noise Issues (1) Tones from the Point Pleasant pumphouse transformers are predicted to be audible and may cause annoyance at a nearby residence. Noise monitor-2-2 Amendment No.180,

ing and, if necessary, mitigative measures to make the tones inaudible have been mandated by the ASLB. (FES Sections 5.12.1 and 5.14.4.1)

(2) Noise from transformers and pumps in the Bradshaw Reservoir pumphouse may be audible at nearby residences. The licensee has committed to ambient and operational noise level monitoring and implementation of identified mitigative measures, if necessary, to reduce noise levels below those likely to cause annoyance and complaints. (FES Sections 5.12.2 and 5.14.4.2)

(3) Offsite noise levels in the vicinity of the Limerick site during station operation are not expected to be high enough above ambient levels to annoy nearby residents. But because of uncertainties in the assessment, a confirmatory noise monitoring program and implementa-tion of mitigative measures, if necessary, will be undertaken. (FES Sections 5.12.3 and 5.14.4.3)

NRC requirements with regard to noise issues are specified in Section 4.3 of this EPP.

3.0 Consistency Requirements 3.1 Plant Design and Operation The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perform tests or experiments affecting the environment provided such activities do not involve an unreviewed environmental question and do not involve a change in the EPP*. Changes in station design or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the requirements of this EPP. Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this Section.

Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity. Activities are excluded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environ-mental effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction. When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activity and obtain prior NRC approval. When such activity involves a change in the EPP, such activity and change to the EPP may be implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in Section 5.3 of this EPP.

  • This provision does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

3-1

A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns: (1) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level; or (3) a matter, not previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.

The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Sub-section. These records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question or constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to meet the objectives specified in Section 1.0.

3.2 Reporting Related to t.he NPDES Permit and State Certification Changes to, or renewals of, the NPDES Permits or the State certification shall be reported to the NRC wii:hin 30 days following the date the change or renewal is approved. If a permit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is appealed and stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.

3-2 Amendment No. 180

3.3 Changes Required for Compliance with Other Environmental Regulations Changes in plant design or operation and performance of tests or experiments that are either regulated or mandated by Federal, State, and local environmental regulations are not subject to the requirements of Section 3.1. However, if any environmental impacts of a change are not evaluated under other Federal, State, or local environmental regulations, then those impacts are subject to the requirements of Section 3.1.

3-3 Amendment No.180

APPENDIXC ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-39 Exelon Generation Company, LLC shall comply with the following conditions on the schedule noted below:

Amendment No. Additional Conditions 230 Exelon is approved to implement 10 CFR 50.69 using the processes for categorization of Risk-Informed Safety Class (RISC)-1, RISC-2, RISC-3, and RISC-4 structures, systems, and components (SSCs) using: Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) models to evaluate risk associated with internal events, including internal flooding, and internal fire; the shutdown safety assessment process to assess shutdown risk; the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (AN0-2) passive categorization method to assess passive component risk for Class 2 and Class 3 SSCs and their associated supports; and the results of non-PRA evaluations that are based on the IPEEE Screening Assessment for External Hazards, i.e.,

seismic margin analysis (SMA) to evaluate seismic risk, and a screening of other external hazards updated using the external hazard screening significance process identified in ASME/ANS PRA Standard RA-Sa-2009; as specified in Unit 1 License Amendment No. 230 dated July 31, 2018.

Exelon will complete the implementation items listed in Attachment 2 of Exelon letter to NRC dated April 23, 2018 prior to implementation of 10 CFR 50.69. All issues identified in the attachment will be addressed and any associated changes will be made, focused-scope peer reviews will be performed on changes that are PRA upgrades as defined in the PRA standard (ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, as endorsed by RG 1.200, Revision 2), and any findings will be resolved and reflected in the PRA of record prior to implementation of the 10 CFR 50.69 categorization process.

Prior NRC approval, under 10 CFR 50.90, is required for a change to the categorization process specified above (e.g., change from a seismic margins approach to a seismic probabilistic risk assessment approach).
