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 experiements carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the deter-mination that the change, test, or experiement 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. The licensee shall include as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests, and experiments.
3.2 Reporting Related to the NPDES Permit and State Certification Changes to,-or renewals of, the NPDES Permit or the State certification shall be reported to the NRC within 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.
The licensee shall notify the NRC of changes to the effective NPDES Permit proposed by the licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the same time it is submitted to the permitting agency. The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES Permit at the same time the application is submitted to the permitting agency.
3.3 Changes Reauired for Compliance with Other Environmental Regulators Changes in plant design or operation and performance of tests or experiments which are required to achieve compliance with other Federal, State, and local environmental regulations are not subject to the requirements of Section 3.1.
4.0 Environmental Conditions 4.1 Unusual or Important Environmental Events Any occurrence of an unusual or important event that indicates or could result in significant environmental impact causally related to plant operation shall be recorded and reported to the NRC within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> followed by a written report per Subsection 5.4.2 of the EPP.
This provision does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

NPF-73 No routine monitoring programs are required to implement this condition.
4.2 Environmental Monitoring 4.2.1 Aquatic Monitoring The certifications and permits required under the Clean Water Act provide mechanisms for protecting water quality and, indirectly, aquatic biota.
The NRC will rely on the decisions made by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under the authority of the Clean Water Act for any requirements for aquatic monitoring.
4.2.2 Terrestrial Monitoring DELETED.
4.2.3 Noise Monitoring Noise monitoring program during first year of plant operation (Section 5.14.4 of FES).
5.0 Administrative Procedures 5.1 Review and Audit The licensee shall provide for review and audit of compliance with the EPP.
The audits shall be conducted independently of the individual or groups responsible for performing the specific activity.
A description of the organization structure used to achieve the independent review and audit function and results of the audit activities shall be maintained and made available for inspection.
5.2 Records Retention Records and logs relative to the environmental aspects of station operation shall be made and retained in a manner convenient for review and inspection.
These records and logs shall be made available to NRC on request.
Records of modifications to station structures, systems and components determined to potentially affect the continued protection of the environment shall be retained for the life of the station.
All other records, data and logs relating to this EPP shall be retained for five years or, where applicable, in accordance with the requirements of other agencies.
3 Amendment No. 65 JAN 5 1995
5.3 Changes in Environmental Protection Plan Requests for changes in the EPP shall include an assessment of the environmental impact of the proposed change and a supporting Justification.
Implementation of such changes in the EPP shall not commence prior to NRC approval of the proposed changes in the form of a license amendment-incorporating the appropriate revision to the EPP.
5.4 Plant Reporting Requirements 5.4.1 Routine Reports An Annual Environmental Operatina Report describing implementation of this EPP for the previous year shall be submitted to the NRC prior to May l of each year. The period of the first report shall begin with the date of issuance of the operating license, and the initial report shall be submitted prior to May 1 of the year following issuance of the operating license.
The report shall include summaries and analyses of the results of the environ-mental protection activities required by Subsection-4.2 (if any) of this EPP for the report period, including a comparison with related preoperational studies, operational-controls (as appropriate), and previous nonradiological environmental monitoring reports, and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operation on the environment.
If harmful effects or evidence of -
trends toward irreversible damage to the environment are observed, the licensee shall provide a detailed analysis of the data and a proposed course of mitigating action.
The Annual Environmental Operating Report shall also include:
(1) A list of EPP noncompliances and the corrective actions taken to remedy them.
(2) A list of all changes in station design or operation, tests, and experi-ments made in accordance with Subsection 3.1 which involved a potentially significant unreviewed environmental question.
(3)
A list of nonroutine reports submitted in accordance with Subsection 5.4.2.
In the event that some results are not available by the report due date, the report shall be submitted, noting and explaining the missing results. The missing results shall be submitted as soon as possible in a supplementary report.
5.4.2 A written report shall be submitted to the NRC within 30 days of occurrence of a nonroutine event. The report shall: (a) describe, analyze, and evaluate the event, including extent and magnitude of of the impact, and plant operating characteristics; (b) describe the probable cause of the event; (c) indicate the action taken to correct the reported event; (d) indicate the corrective action taken to preclude repetition of the event and to prevent similar occurrences involving similar components or systems; and (e) indicate the agencies notified and their preliminary responses.
4
Events reportable under this subsection which also require reports to others Federal, State, or local agencies shall be reported in accordance with those reporting requirements in lieu of the requirements of this subsection. The NRC shall be provided with a copy of such reports at the same time it is submitted to the other agency.
