SUSQUKDLNNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION APPLICATION FOR NPDES PERMIT GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The Susquehanna Steam Electric Station is being built in Salem Township, Luzerne County on the west bank of the Susquehanna River, four miles south of Shickshinny and five miles northeast of Berwick.

,The plant wiU. be operated by 'the Pennsylvania Power

& Light Company for the )oint

'wner, Pennsylvania Power

& Light Company (90%)

and the.Allegheny.Electric Cooperative (10%).'ach of the two nuclear units.will have a nominal rating of 1050 megawatts with steam supplied from boiling-'water type nuclear reactors.

Unit 1 is scheduled for commercial operation in

February, 1981 with Unit 2 scheduled for May, 1982.

A hyperbolic natural draft cooling tower will serve as the primary heat sink for each unit.

The station will draw a maximum of 39,121 gpm of water from the Susque-hanna River for cooling tower make-up and low volume uses such as process and potable water.

Up to 28,700 gpm will be evaporated in the cooling towers with;the remainder being returned to the river (see Water*Use Diagram

'SK-M-1209).

There will be three types of effluent discharges from the station:

~ (1),treated sanitary, wastes from the sewage treatment plant, (2).treated low volume-wastes from three low volume waste basins and (3) cooling tower blowdown containing small amounts of treated radwastes.

Each of these streams will be treated to assure that the discharges are in compliance with all the applicable limitations specified in the Effluent Guidelines and Standards.for the Steam Electric Generating=Point Source Category (40 CFR 423).

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources

.has issued Sanitary Waste Permit No. 4074418 for the sewage, plant effluent and.Industrial Waste Permit No. 4076203 for the low volume waste and cooling tower blowdown discharges.

Sewa e Treatment.Plant Dischar e

The sanitary wastes from the station,will be treated in a package-type extended aeration sewage treatment plant.

The plant has a nominal capacity of'5;000,gpd, consisting of three aeration tank-clarifier units operating in parallel:

Although all the units are being used

==

during construction, the use.of on'ly,one is anticipated during normal

.plant -operation.

Low Volume Waste Dischar es Low Volume Wastes from the non-radioactive areas o'f the plant*will be collected in three separate

systems, showa'chematically in the Liquid Waste Management

Scheme, SK-M-1329.

In each system, all the low volume wastes from -a non-radioactive area are collected in a separate

=piping system and routed to a dissolved air flotation oil separator.

The effluent from the separator is collected in a duel-cell holding and sedimentation basin.

Here a batch of wastes can be held up in one cell for any additional treatment which may be required while the other cell is used to collect the next batch of wastes.

Treated low volume wastes will be discharged to the storm sewer.

Low volume wastes from areas of the plant where there is a significant possibility of chemical contamination are collected in a separate collection system.

They are combined with wastes from the water treatment processes such's clarikier underflow andh demineralazer

-regeneratione wastes.

All these wastes are treated with acid or caustic in a neutral-ization basin.

The effluent from the neutralization basin is filtered and then routed to the circulating water system, where it it reused.

The Liquid Waste Management Scheme (sketch SK-H-1329) shows the collection and treatment scheme for all.the wastes mentioned above.

Coolin Tower Blowdown Dischar e

The cooling tower blowdown discharge will be by far the largest and most significant of the station discharges.

This discharge willbe composed mostly of cooling tower blowdown which will have a design flow rate of 10,000 gpm.

The blowdown discharge will also contain 0-200 gpm of radwaste building discharge which has been extensively treated in accordance with NRC regulations.

The blowdown discharge will also contain any overflow.from the Spray Pond, which is a water storage area for the station emergency cooling system.

The Spray Pond overflow will consist of only stored river water and rain water which may have fallen on the pond.

The primary pollutant in the cooling tower blowdown stream will be heat.

Although the blowdown will be taken from the coldest point in the cir-culating water system (the tower basin), it is expected to have a design maximum temperature of 90'P.

The impact of the discharge will be minimized by the installation of a submerged multi-port diffuser in the river.

The

.diffuser will create a dynamic mixing zone which will confine the immediate effects of the discharge to a small area about 100 feet wide and 200 feet only at the worst conditions.

A more detailed description of the heat dissipation system and its effects is contained in Appendix A.

The cooling tower blowdown will also contain xesidual chlorine resulting from chlorination of the circulating water system for control of biological fouling.

The residual chlorine concentration will be reduced to almost undetectable levels before discharge by means of a sulfur dioxide dechlorination system.

The cooling tower blowdown discharge will contain dissolved river solids concentrated by a factor of up to 3.8, but the environmental effects of the discharge

-are negligible from this aspect'.

The discharge diffuser will create a dilution factor such that the concentrations of dissolved materials at the border of the mixing zone will only be about 62% higher than ambient concentrations in the worst case.

Additionally, sufficient sedimentation is expected to occur in the cooling tower basins -that the concentrations of suspended solids and total iron in the discharge are

'ot expected to exceed those of the river.

SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION APPLICATION FOR NPDES PERMIT ATTACHMENT A:

HEAT DISIPATION SYSTEM Each of the two units at Susquehanna is provided with a circulating water system which provides cooling water to the main condensers and some auxiliary heat exchangers.

The heated water from these systems is cooled in two large natural draft cooling towers and then rerouted to the plant to be used again.

In the cooling process some of the circulating water is evaporated, causing a concentration of di'ssolved solids in the water which remains in the towers.

In order to limit this buildup of

'olids by concentration, a portion of the circulating water is withdrawn from the towers and discharged.

Makeup water is required from the river to replace the water that is evaporated or discharged.

At Susquehanna, che design circulating water flow rates are 448,000 gpm for condenser cooling and 30,000 gpm for auxiliary cooling for'ach unit.

At full load and design conditions this water is increased in temperature from 87'F to 122'F.

Each cooling tower is designed to cool 478,000 gpm of circulating water back to a temperature of 87'F at an ambient wet bulb temperature of 73 F and a relative humidity of 65%.

Cooling tower performance is further described in table 3.

Cooling tower blowdown will be discharged to the river with a design rate of 5000 gpm per tower.

The discharge temperature will be the same as the cold-side temperature in the cooling tower.

A comparison of the expected average cooling tower blowdown temperature and the ambient river temperature at different times of the year is shown in figure 4.

As can be seen, the normal temperature difference varies from about 5'F in the summer to about 27'F in the winter.

The maximum difference, obtained by comparing the maximum blowdown temperature with the minimum river temperature is about 14 F in July and 41'F in December.

The impact of the discharge on the river is minimized by the installation of a multi-port diffuser at the end of the discharge pipe.

The diffuser consists of a 42-inch steel pipe located on the river bottom which extends 150 feet from shore.

Discharge from the diffuser takes place through 72 ports, 4 inches in diameter, at 3.5 ft centerline spacing, discharging at a 45'ngle with the horizontal in the direction of the river flow at an estimated velocity of 6 ft/sec.

The orientation of the ports was selected so that jet action will not cause scouring of the river bed.

Table 4 presents the results of a study to predict the thermal plume characteristics using the method of Jirka and Harleman As can be

seen, the mixing region will extend downstream a distance of up to 10

times the water depth at the diffuser, about 150 ft.

At the edge of the mixing zone the temperature rise will be small, in most cases less than 2'F above the ambient river temperature.

In all gases, the temperature limits of the"Pennsylv'anna'ad'er'uaih'yr" te""""a w'J'1'1ot'e" e'~cee'de" outside the mixing zone.

In addition to heat, the cooling tower blowdown may contain chlorine, which is added to the circulating water system for biological fouling control.

Chlorine Mll be added to the system for 20-30 minute intervals three times a day.

This program will cause total chlorine residuals in the neighborhood of 0.1 mg/L to occur in the cooling tower blowdown stream during chlorination periods.

These residuals will be reduced to undetectable levels by the addition of a dechlorinating chemical, sulfur dioxide (S02).

As a result of dechlorination, the cooling tower blowdown discharge is not expected to contain more than 0.01 mg/L chlorine residual at the diffuser.

A small residual of sulfur dioxide will oxidize to sulfate ion and will not have any significant impact on the discharge or the river.

,As mentioned previously, the evaporation.which occurs in the cooling towers will cause a concentration of dissolved and suspended solids in

,the circulating water system.

For:suspended solids and metals, this effect will be compensated by settling of material in the cooling tower basins and consequently.

the concentrations of these items in the blowdown will usually be less than the ambient river levels.

There will be no reduction of dissolved solids however, and these materials will be discharged in concentrations of up to 3.8 times the ambient levels in the river.

The action of the diffuser will create a dynamic mixing zone which will greatly enhance the dilution of the blowdown in the river and consequently any local environmental impact will be confined within the small.area of the mixing zone.

The overall impact will be minor since the river at normal conditions is easily able to absorb the extra dissolved solids load without a significant increase in the concentration of any dissolved material.

As can be seen from the above discussion, all technologically reasonable steps have been taken to minimize the effect of plant operation on the river ecology.

Cooling towers will reduce the-heat content of the discharge by more than 99%.

A diffuser is being installed at the end of the discharge pipe so that any effect from the remaining heat is confined

'to a very small area.

A dechlorinator is being installed to eliminate any adverse impact due to chlorine in the discharge.

With these environmental safeguards in operation, PP&L has estimated that any effect of the discharge on the river outside the mixing zone would be insignificant.

INTAKE STRUCTURE t

The Susquehanna SES river intake structure is located on the west bank of the river as shown on the Location Plan (Section I, Figure 2). It consists of a steel superstructure located above a reinforced concrete substructure that extends into rock below the level of the river bottom.

The two structures are separated by an operating floor located at elevation 526 ft., which is 1 ft. above the design flood level.

The superstructure houses the makeup water pumps and associated equipment including switchgear, automatic operating equipment for trash handling screens, motor control

centers, screen wash strainers, and a debris handling facility.

The substructure, shown in Figure 5, contains two water entrance chambers that house the, traveling screens and two pump chambers.

The intake openings are formed by the floor and sides of the entrance chambers.

The top of the intake opening is formed by an inverted weir that extends 1 ft. below the design minimum water level.

The front of the intake is at the river-bank with flared wing walls extending down the natural slope of the bank to provide for an even and gradual water approach velocity.

The intake flow velocity is perpendicular to, and considerably smaller

than, the river velocity which will tend to move submerged aquatic life and floating debris past the intake.

The two water entrance chambers are each equipped with trash removal screens.

A bar screen is located behind each intake opening which prevents larger debris from impeding the operation of the traveling screens.

The traveling screens'remove smaller debris from the intake water stream.

The bar screen trash rakes and traveling screens are operated automatically for periodic cleaning by differential pressure sensors or by a timer.

Water spray systems wash debris from the screens into a pit for disposal whenever the trash rake or traveling screens operate.

The bar screens consist of vertical 1-1/4 in. bars with a 1 in. opening between bars.

The traveling screens have 3/8 in. mesh.

Stop log slots are provided in front and behind the screens so that the stop logs may be lowered and the chamber dewatered for repair of the screens.

Another set of stop logs may be used to close the slot in the center wall for the purpose of dewatering one of the pump chambers.

The insertion of these barriers requires the effort of heavy portable equipment and a several-man maintenance crew.

The scheduling of such an effort will normally be during a period of reduced station load when less water is required and design intake velocities will not be exceeded.

Page 2

Four nominal 33-1/3X capacity intake pumps that have a total pumping capacity of 54,000 gpm (120 cfs) are installed in the intake structure.

As shown in Figure 113.3-211 and Table 113.3-111, 100% station load operation of both units can be supported with three pumps providing 39,300 gpm (87 cfs) intake flow under the least favorable (1 percent) meteorological conditions.

The horizontal velocity of the intake water as it enters and passes through the intake structure is shown in Figure 5.

As can be seen, the velocity of water through the intake structure passages with three pumps operating (40,500 gpm) is 0.38 fps through the entrance openings (independent of river level), 0.58 fps through the bar screen openings (at minimum river level 484 msl the worst case) and 0.64 fps through the travelling screens (at minimum river level).

There is a potential for increased velocities since the capability exists to operate the intake structure with one of the intake passages blocked.

This would not occur unless an emergency problem developed in the intake structure during a period of extended station operation at full load during a period of least favorable meteorological conditions.

It is highly improbable that all of these unlikely events would occur at once and even if they did the intake velocity would not exceed 0.75 fps.

The intake structure trash handling screen willprevent debris removed from the screens from being dumped back into the river.

The amount of trash collected by this screen is estimated to average 150 ft.3 per

month, a quantity which would fillone dumpster.

The type of trash is primarily sticks and leaves and other river debris.

The trash will be removed by a local contractor for offsite disposal.

Start-u Phase No cleaning operations other than velocity flushing are anticipated during the start-up phase of the project.

The majority of velocity flushing water is expected to be re-used to a significant extent by using the condenser hot well as a catch basin, cleaning up the flushing water with the condensate demineralizers and then storing the flushing water in the condensate storage tank.

Minimal amounts of flushing water are expected to be discharged.

Such water will be analyzed and treated/neutralized prior to any discharge.

Dis osal Methods, A.

Off-Site Offsite disposal will involve collection of the cleaning solution and removal from site by a licensed disposal service.

B.

S-l Basin Solutions and rinse waters will be diverted to the S-l holding basin.

When the level of this basin approaches a height where it may overflow, the water will be removed from the basin and discharged on jobsite roads, and other areas authorized by PL, to promote evaporation.

SUSQKKQQTA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION UNITS 1 AK) 2 MD 230 kV TRANSMISSION PACILITIES

This Final Environmental Impact Statement describes the exoected.

environmental effects of construction and. operation of t¹ Suscuehanna Steam Electric Station and. associated 230 kV transmission facilities.

This Statement represents the independent determinations made by the Rural Electrification Administration based. upon information from various sources.

It is my judgment that the proposed. action by REA in providing financial assistance for a portion of the construction will be consistent with the policies set forth in the National Environ-mental Policy Act.

Admin"strator Rural Electrification Administration

Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Inc., (Allegheny) has applied to the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) for a guarantee by REA of a loan to finance a ten percent ownership interest in the Susque-hanna Steam Electric Station, Units No. 1 and 2 (Susquehanna),

pres-ently under construction by Pennsylvania Power and Light Company in Salem Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and, to finance 42.3 miles of the 128 miles of associated 500 kV transmission lines.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, REA prepared this Final-Environmental Impact State-ment covering Susquehanna and. the associated.

230 kV facilities.

REA's Statement consists of:

1.

The attached Environmental Statement prepared in 1973 by the Atomic Energy Commission (now the Nuclear Regulatory Commis-

'ion (INC)), which is adopted in full by REA, except for the portion relating to the 500 kV transmission facilities, and 2.

Independent determinations by REA described herein or on the topics covered by the NRC Final Environmental Statement.

REA has prepared.

a separate 33raft Environmental Impact Statement for the 500 kV transmission facilities.

REA is aware that environmental laws have changed., in certain

respects, since the preparation of the NRC Fina1 Environmental State-ment, but believes that the conclusions stated therein continue to be valid.

The NRC Final Environmental Statement does not discuss Rare and Endangered Species.

However, REA review discloses that no critical

habitat, as determined by the U.

S. Department of the Interior (Interior),

exists in Pennsylvania and no Rare or Endangered Species listed by Interior is known to be affected by the project.

REA concludes, based upon its independent evaluation of Susque-hanna and the associated.

230 kV facilities, that environmental impacts to date have been of minor consequence and. that potential environmental impacts associated, with the project willbe satisfactorily mitigated.

REA has specifically considered, two alternatives to Allegheny's participation in the project.

Allegheny could continue to purchase power from existing power suppliers, or instead, could construct a

separate 200 KV coal-fired plant.

Neither these alternatives, nor any others of which REA is aware, appear to be economically acceptable.

There is no reason to believe that an HEA decision to provide financial assistance for Allegheny to participate in Susquehanna, or to withhold such financial assistance, will change the environmental impact of the project.
