ANNUALENVIRONMENTALOPERATING REPORT Introduction The St. Lucie Unit 2 Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) requires the submittal of an annual report for various activities at the plant site including the reporting on sea turtle monitoring programs, and other matters related to Federal and State environmental permits and certifications.

This report and Volume I described below fulfillthese reporting requirements.

II.

Sea Turtle Monitorin and Associated Activities A report on aquatic and terrestrial sea turtle monitoring programs as described in EPP Sections 4.2.1 (Beach Nesting Surveys), 4.2.3 (Studies to Evaluate and/or Mitigate Intake Canal Mortality) and 4.2.5 (Capture and Release Program) is concurrently submitted in a separate rcport (AB-617, Vol.1) prepared by Applied Biology, Inc. of Jensen Beach, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia.

Studies to evaluate and/or mitigate intake entrapment required by Section 4.2.2 of the EPP have been previously performed.

A final report was submitted to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation on April 18, 1985.

With submittal of that report, the EPP requirement was fulfilled and willnot be readdressed in this or future reports.

Surveillance and maintenance of the light screen to minimize sea turtle disorientation as required by Section 4.2.4 of the EPP is ongoing.

The Australian Pine light screen or other vegetation located on the beach dune between the power plant and the ocean is routinely surveyed to determine its overall vitality.

The vegetation line is surveyed for any gaps occurring from I

t) mortality, which would result in unacceptable light levels on the beach.

Trees, vegetation or shade cloth are replaced as necessary to maintain the overall integrity of the light screen.
