II FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY September 29, 1978 L-78-314 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attention: Nr. Victor,Stello, Director Division of'Operating Reactors U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Yir. Stello:

Re: St. Lucie Unit No. 1 Docket Nos. 50-335 Revision to Environmental Technical Specifications 0 eratin License DPR-67 1n accordance with 10 CFR 50.30, Florida Power 6 Light Company submits herewith three (3) signed originals and forty (40) copies of a request to modify St. Lucie Unit No. 1 Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS).

This request supplements our proposed ETS changes submitted by letter dated August 1, 1977, (L-77-244) . Pages 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, ynd 5-4 contain changes to Section 5.0, Administrative Controls,"

which reflect individual title changes and department name changes, and replace the respective pages contained in our pre-vious submittal in their entirety. Also included is a proposed change to Section 3.1.B.e, "Water Quality," which is described below. All of the changes are shown on the attached revised ETS pages bearing the date of this letter in the lower right hand corner.

The revision of ETS 3.1.B.e is administrative in nature and clarifies the intended frequency for monitoring of selected nutrients in the ocean water. Our sample collection schedule currently consists of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen content, and turbidity samples at bottom, mid-depth, and surface levels at the, same time biological samples are collected. Selected nutrients are collected at all three depths at the same time the phytoplankton and zooplankton are sampled. This nutrient sampling regime was established based on Florida Power 6 Light's interpre-tation of the existing ETS. The change will make this sampling frequency clear.

The sampling regime currently in practice is consistent with potential data usage since only phytoplankton productivity studies and correlations would be related to the nutrient levels in the ocean. Benthos, macrophytes, nekton and migratory sea turtle II II I I I ~+studies have little direct dependence on nutrient levels in the BF-~Bs P 78+>9 PEOPLE... SERVING PEOPLE

Victor Stello, Director Division of Operating Reactors U. S. Nucleai Regulatory Commission September 29, 1978 Page 2 The Company Nuclear Review Board and the Company Environmental Review Group have reviewed the proposed revisions and have determined that they do not affect the environmental assessment of the licensed facility nor do they involve an unreviewed safety question. PPL has determined that this is a Class XI amendment per the criteria of 10 CPR 170.22 and accordingly encloses a check in the amount of $ 1,200.00.

Very truly yours, R. . Uhrig Vice President REU:NLR:cf Attachment cc: J. P. O'Reilly, Region XX Harold Reis, Esq.

3-4 S ecification The biological conditions shall be assessed, 1) in terms of abundance and compositions of the marine biotic community, and 2) the relationship between certain chemical and physical properties of the waters and the character of the biological community.

The five sampling locations established during a pre-operational baseline biology program will be utilized for plankton, trawl, and benthic collec-tions. The sampling schedule will be as follows:

a. Ben't6ic Or anisms Benthic organisms will be collected quarterly and inventoried as to type and abundance of major taxonomic groups present.

b. Plankton - Plankton samples will be collected monthly. Both zooplankton and phytoplankton species will be identified as to kind and abundance.

Chlorophyll "a" analysis will be performed as a measure of primary productivity.

c ~ Nektonic Or anisms - Samples will be collected monthly by trawling, seining, or other suitable method. Types and numbers of organisms present will be determined, including species of migratory fish of commercial and sports'isheries value such as blue fish and mackerel.

and identified as to species and abundance.

mid-depth, and surface .levels at the same time as the biotic samples are collected. Parameters studied will be temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen content, turbidity. Mater samples 'for selected nutrient analyses will be collected at the time of plankton sampling.

f. Ili rato Sea Turtles The species, numbers, and nesting chaiacteristics of sea turtles that migrate in from the sea and'nest along the east coast of Florida will be determined on the FPL shoreline property and selected adjacent contxol areas in 1975 and 1977.. A study shall be conducted to determine the effects of the discharge thermal plume on turtle nesting patterns and turtle hatchling migration. Xn addition, control studies on tempeiature stress, hatching, and rearing factors will be conducted using turtle eggs from displaced nests.

Based on the data obtained, predictions will be made on the impact of the plant's opexation on baseline biological conditions and current uses of the waters.

Florida Power and Light will review the data after two years of plant operation.

lf effects attributable to the plant are found acceptable, the results shall be reviewed by NRC to determine should be terminated.
