'EVIB< STATUS:
Complete On April 12~ 'l979, Florida Power and Light Company (FPLL) submitted a request to delete certain water quality requirements from the Appendix B Environmental Technical Specifications for St. Lucie Unit 1.
The 'licensee's only justifica-tion for deleting these requirements is 'that they are contained in the NPDES permit.-
On September 7, 1979, Region IV of the U.S, Environmental Protection Agency issued for comment changes to the St. Lucie NPDES permit proposed by FP&L and requested NRC review.
0'hese proposed permit changes involve the same parameters proposed to be deleted from the ETS.
The proposed permit changes would result in less restrictive requirements.
The licensee provided EPA with an extensive environmental assessment of mak)g the proposed changes. In responding to EPA's request, we have reviewed the assessment which FP8L sont to EPA. At the same time we reviewed the portions of the NPDES permit which contain restrictions similar to those in the ETS. Me found that we had no objections to the proposed changes to.the permit. $Je found that we could }ely on the NPDES permit for limiting those parameters which the licensee requested to be deleted from the ETS. On December 4, 1979, we sent a letter to the Chief, ilater Enforcement Branch of Region IV EPA, informing him that we did not object to ihe permit modifications and that we intend to rely on the NPDES permit conditions for limiting those parameters to be deleted from our ETS. On February 18, 1980 the permit was modified $ n accordance with the utility!s }'equest. P~ Z E SURNAME& NRC FORM 318 (976) NRCN 0240 + U) S COVCRNMSNT P TS S20,SOAK .IS%,

Robert Reid APR 1 1980 On Harch 4, 1980, we telephoned EPA>>Reg)on IV and they indicated that they had no ob3ections to our relying on the NPDES, permit. We, therefore, are deleting the water quality parameters as requested by the licensee. As we will be relying on the NPDES permit, we have added to Section 6, Special Conditions, a requirement for reporting of violations and changes to the permit> We have also added a requirement for the reporting of unusual events. The licensee's amendment request did not address water quality monitoring
- programs, He note that the ETS aquatic monitoring requirements are referred to in the NPDES permit as the EPA required program.
We plan,to discuss aquatic monitoring with EPA and the licensee to coordinate the transfer of these. monitoring requirements to 'the HPDES permit. When the requirement to rely on the ETS monitoring program is removed, we will then completekgerevise the ETS to rely on tt>e HPDES permit for specifying aquatic monitoring. Enclosure 1 contains an Environmental Impact Appraisal for the license amendment. Enclosure 2 contains the new pages of the ETS 1<ith marginal bars indicating the, changes effected by this action,
