'Definitions (1)

The "daily average" discharge means the total discharge by weight during a calendar month divided by'he number of days in the month that the production or commercial facility was operating.

Where less than daily sampling is required by this permit, the daily average discharge shall be determined by the summation of all the measured daily discharges by weight divided by the number of days during the calendar month when the measurements were made.

(2)

(3)

The "daily maximum" discharge means the total discharge by weight during any calendar day.

The "daily average" concentration means the arithmetic average of all the daily determinations of concentration made during a calendar month.

Daily determinations of concentration made using a composite sample.

shall be the concentration of the composite sample.

When gr'ab samples are

used, the daily determination of concentration shall bc the arithmetic'average of all the samples collected during that calendar day.

The "daily maximum" concentration means the daily dctcrmination of concentration for any calendar day.

The "instantaneous maximum". concentration means the concentration not to be exceeded at any time in any grab sample.

~ ~'gr. -Envtror~enta3.'~~t. Attaclment c-.i-.. Richard, L. Constricinm ? i9:EZi4 i ~ ~ ~ Purpose I IMPINGEMENT AND ENTRAINMENT STUDIES FOR'HE SUSqmmmA STEAM ELECTRIC STAT'I'ON In response to Special Condition C of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA-0047325, the Pennsylvania Power 8, Light Co. (PPGL). is providing a study for projection of impingement and entrainment effects at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (Susquehanna SES) intake. The purpose of this study was to determine impingement and entrainment monitoring requirements for the Susquehanna SES. Study Area The Susquehanna SES consists of two boiling. water reactors, each with .an electrical generating capacity of 1,050 MWe. It is located on a 1075 acre site in Salem Township, Luzerne County, about 5 miles northeast of Berwick, Pennsylvania. Commercial operation of Unit 1 is scheduled to begin in 1982 and Unit 2 in 1983. Aquatic studies have'een conducted on the Susquehanna River near the Susquehanna SES by Ichthyological Associates, Inc. since 1971. The Susquehanna River will be the source of make-up water for the station cooling system. The overall objective of these studies has been to establish an ecological baseline of existing conditions in the river and on the site prior to operation of the Susquehanna SES (Ref. 1). Most of the aquatic studies were conducted within 1.25 miles of.the intake structure and discharge diffuser of the Susquehanna SES. The slope of the river bed in this stretch of the Susquehanna River is 1.6 ft/mi and the average width is about 984 ft. Depth is relatively shallow in most areas (less than 6.6 ft.), but some pools'may exceed 16.4 ft. even during low river flow. During periods of.low flow, which normally occur in late summer and early autumn, abandoned eel walls help maintain pools, some of which are several kilometers long. In times of high flow the river level commonly increases 9.84 ft. or

more, and its flow characteristics resemble those of an open channel.

Upriver from the site, the "Wyoming Region" of the northern anthracite coal field lies beneath or adjacent to the river. Acid mine drainages from this Area, which enter from abandoned strip and shaft mines, degrade the water quality at the site. River Water Intake The river intake structure, as shown on Figure 1, River Intake Struct'ure-Velocity Profile, consists of a structural steel superstructure,ab'ove the operating floor and a reinforced concrete ~ substructure that extend into rock below the level of the river bottom. The superstructure houses the makeup water pumps and 1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ associated equipment including switchgear, automatic operating equ'ipment for trash handling screens, motor control centers, screen wash strainers and a debris handling facility. (Ref. 2) The. substructure contains two'ater entrance chambers that house the traveling screens and two pump chambers. 'he two intake openings are ~ formed by the floor and sides of the entrance chambers. The top of the intake openings is formed by an inverted weir that extends one foot below the minimum river water level, elevation 484.0 ft., to intercept floating oil and debris. 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. (See Figure 2, River Intake Structure Wing Walls); A cost-benefit analysis was used in determining the best intake structure type for this station. The standard intake structure was selected for the Susquehanna SES over the alternate infiltration system (Ranney Collector) since the altnerate could not provide the required water supply for station operation. The standard intake has also been used without adverse environmental impacts at other PPGL and utility stations. Based on environmental impact, location on the river and economic costs the standard intake structure was considered to be the best technology available (BTA) for the Susquehanna SES by PPGI. l The intake flow velocity (0.37 fps, max) is perpendicular to, and c'onsiderably less than, the mean river velocity (1.22 fps mean, July '1974 through April 1975), which tends to move submerged aquatic, life and floating debris past the intake (Ref.'1,

1974, 1975, 1976).

Figure = 1 shows the average horizontal.velocity of the water flowing from the river to the intake pumps. Four nominal 33.33/ capacity intake pumps that have a capacity of 13,500 gpm (30 cfs) each are installed in the intake structure. 'At 100/ station load operation of both units maximum intake flow under the least favorable (1%) meteorological conditions is 39,100 gpm (87 cfs). The two water entrance chambers are each equipped with automatically operated trash bar screen's and traveling screens. A'rash bar screen is provided behind each of the inverted weir intake openings to prevent large debris from impeding operation of the automatic traveling screen located downstream. The trash bar screens and traveling screens are operated automatically by differential pressure sensors or by a timer for periodic cleaning. Water spray systems wash debris from the screens into a basin for disposal whenever. the trash bar screens or traveling screens operate. The trash bar screens consist of vertical bars with a 1 in. opening between bars.. The traveling screens have 3/8 in. mesh wire openings. (Ref. 2). I t 1 4 t The velocity of water through both intake structure passages when three pumps are operating (39,100 gpm maximum) is as follows: o Through the entrance openings (i.e. under inverted weir) is independent of river level: 0.37 fps. o Through the clean bar screen openings at minimum river level 484 ft. above msl: 0.58 fps. o Through the clean traveling screen openings at the minimum river level 484 ft. above msl: 0.64 fps. Under the worst case anticipated (general maintenance and repair) with three pumps operating at a flow of 39,100 gpm and with only one passage

open, the inlet velocity would be 0.75 fps (Ref. 2).

The worst case situation should occur less than, once per year and be of short duration since maintenance of this type is normally scheduled during outages. 0 After passing through the intake structure river water goes through the stations circulating water system. There are two hyperbolic natural draft cooling towers for cooling heated condenser cooling water. Cold air enters the bottom of the tower, mixes with the circulating water in the tower fill(water dispersal material), removes heat from the water and the warm air-water vapor mixture rises 'o leave the tower at the top. The towers are suitable for year-round operation. (Ref. 2). The maximum volume of water withdrawn by the Susquehnna SES from the Susquehanna River as indicated previously will be 39,100 gpm (87 cfs) while the annual average will be 32,365'pm'(72 cfs). ~ ~ ,IV.

See Table 1, Impingement and Entrainment Data from Power Stations, for the appropxiate parameters. The calculation for impingement at the Susquehanna SES however, is based on a direct ratio with Hunlock SES impingement data. V. Assum tio'ns used in Determinin Im in ement and Entrainment Pro ection for the Sus uehanna SES Since the Susquehanna SES has a closed cycle heat dissipation system, PPSL conservatively assumes that the mortality of all entrained organisms is 100/. 'The critical months for development of fish eggs and larvae in 1974 were May through August. The year 1974'was selected since three separate methods (fixed net, push net, and pump) of larval fish collection were used at the Susquehanna SES (Ref..l, 1974). By using these methods both drifting and swimming larvae were collected.'he most larval fish were collected with the push net'echnique (0.0465 larval fish/fthm), and this data was used in determining entrainment for the station. 'mpingement studies betwe'en July 1974 'and April 1975 at the nearby gunlock Steam Electric Station, (Hunlock SES) indicated that fish were considered to be the critical organism (Ref. 3). During this period approximately 0.7/ of the mean river flow was withdrawn by Hunlock SES. This 'is similar to the flow to be withdrawn by the Susquehanna SES of 0.6'/, (87 cfs). Based on Hunlock SES impingement data a direct ratio of 0.7% to 0,6'/ (1:0.86) was used in projecting estimates for the Susquehanna SES. VI. Im in ement and Entrainment Stud Data 1. Sus uehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 6 2 Susquehanna SES, Units 1 and 2 are two-1050 FNe boiling water reactors operated by PPSL,. The station will utilize, a closed cooling system with a maximum flow of 87 cfs of Susquehanna River water with an intake velocity of 0.37 fps. Larval fish data have been collected for over seven years in the vicinity of the Susquehanna SES intake structure (Ref. 1). larval fish data col'lected between May and July of 1974 were used for this analysis. There-were 275 push net samples (0.0465 J ~ 1, ~ ~ ) I larval fish/ft ) average about five minutes each 276 fixed net samples (0.0277,larval fish/ft~), and 343 five minute pump samples (0.0177 larval fish/ft ). Larvae of 22 species of fish were collected with a majority being suckers, minnows and carp, and perches. The push net data of 0.0465 larval fish/ft was used in projecting that approximately 350,000 larval fish/day would be entrained. -About 1.23$ of the mean river flow will be withdrawn by the station during the spawning season. (See Table 1, for additional information.) Projected impingement data for the Susquehanna SES are based on the nearby data collected at the Hunlock SES between July 1974 and April 1975 (Ref. 3). Seventy six fish were collected during an 80 hour9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> sampling period and it is estimated that approximately 23 fish were impinged per day. Also, the estimated weight per day of these impinged fish was 1.4 lbs. Since the Susquehanna SES withdraws about 86/ as much water from the Susquehanna River as does Hunlock SES (0.6/ vs. 0.7$ ) the projected number of fish impinged per day was approximately 20 with a weight of about 1.2 lbs. 2. Hunlock Steam Electric Station The Hunlock SES is a small one unit coal-fired station (46 tee) operated by the Luzerne Electric Division of UGI Corporation. It is located about 9.3 miles up river from the Susquehanna

SES, and utilizes a once through cooling system that draws in about 145 cfs of Susquehanna River water through.two intake canals with*

velocities up to 0.75 ft/s. larval fish were also sampled at the Hunlock SES once per month in May through July 1974 to determine entrainment losses. Mean densities of entrained larvae were less than 0.03 larval fish/fthm or about 375,000 larval fish/day. This was concluded to be an acceptable los@ because less than 2% of the mean river flow was drawn into the station during the sampling period. . Once each month, from July 1974 through April 1975, impingement samples were collected. Seventy-six fish were collected in an 80 hour9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> period. Extrapolation of results from these samples showed that 23 fish were impinged per day and approximately 1.4 lbs. of fish were impinged per day. It was concluded that.i'mpingement losses would have a negligible affect on the sport fishery of the Susquehanna River (Ref. 3).. 3. Martins Creek Steam Electric Station Units 1 8, 2 T"c g Martins Creek SES is located about 6 miles north of Easton, Pa. on the Delaware River (Ref. 4). Martins Creek SES 'Units 1 8 2 are two-150 MWe coal fired units and Units 3 8 4 are two-800 MWe I ~ ~ 4 ~ oil fired units operated by PP&L, Units 1 & 2 utilize a combined maximum of 268 cfs of'*Delaware River Water for once through cooling with an intake velocity of 0.8 fps. Units 3 & 4 utilize 80 cfs for cooling tower makeup aad station service water. Since Units 3 & 4 are used only for cycling, impingement and entrainment studies were monitored only on Units 1 & 2. The water withdrawn by Units 1 & 2 during the entrainment sampling period of April through June 1976 was 3.5'j of.the mean river flow. The number of larval fish entrained was 0.0012/ft About 28,000'arval fish were entrained at Martins Creek per day aad the impact of entrainment was not considered adverse for the aquatic environs. The impingement program was conducted from March 1976 through February 1977. During a sampling period (26 hours3.009259e-4 days <br />0.00722 hours <br />4.298942e-5 weeks <br />9.893e-6 months <br />) it was projected that about 3 fish per day would be impinged or about 4 lbs. per day. Impingement was not considered an adverse impact since so few fish were impinged. Brunner Island Steam Electric Station. The Brunner Island SES located on the Susquehanna River about 8 miles north of York, Pa. is owned and operated by PPGL. Unit 1 is rated at 300 MVe, Unit 2 at 350 MWe and Unit 3 is rated at 790 MWe (Ref. 5). This station has a once through cooling system with a maximum intake flow of 1,154 cfs. The entrainment survey was conducted between. April and July of 1976. Tb[e river water withdrawn during the entrainment study was about 3.7g of the mean river flow. The number of larval fish eatrained per day was about 500,000 and this was not considered 'o be an adverse environmental impact on the Susquehanna River. The impingement study was conducted between March 1976 and February 1977. The data collected for this study was limited. however 47 fish were impinged over a 267 hour0.00309 days <br />0.0742 hours <br />4.414683e-4 weeks <br />1.015935e-4 months <br /> 'sampling period. The number of fish impinged per day was 43 or 7.88 lbs. per day. It was evident that impingement losses on the traveling screens were not substantial {Ref. 5). .Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (Unit 1) The Three Mile Island Nuclear Statioa (Three Mile Island NS) is located on Three Mile Island about, 10 miles Southeast of ~ Harrisburg, Pa. and is owned and operated by Metropolitan Edison Company (Ref. 6). Unit 1 is 792 MWe pressurized water reactor with an intake flow of 60 cfs and a velocity of 0.2 fps. This station used a closed cooling system with two natural draft cooling towers. ~ g ~ 4 An entrainment survey of la'rval fish was conducted between April a'nd August 1977. About 0.2$ of the mean river flow was used for

station, cooling {two natural draft cooling towers).

The number of larval fish entrained was 0.075 larval fish/ft. The number of larvae estimated to be entrained per day was 388,800 and was not, considered an adverse. environmental impact. The impingement studies indicated that mainly diseased or dead fish are impinged while healthy fish avoid the screens. During the period March through December

1977, 168 fish were impinged per day (0.27 lbs;/day).

This was not considered to be an adverse impact to the aquatic environs. VII. ~Summar Impingement and entrainme'nt surveys have been conducted at several power stations including those mentioned in this, study. 'n all cases-with the exception of the. Martins Creek SES the projected estimate for fish impinged and entrained at the Susquehanna SES is similar to the data collected at the other stations. 'At Martins Creek which is on. the Delaware River the number of organisms entrained 0.0012/fthm was very low and this may be due to a very small number of larval fish in the vicinity of the station or the period in which the larval.fish were sampled. Samples collected at Martins Creek were April through June while at other stations the entrained samples were collected in July and some also in August. Table 1, lists both the appropriate impingement and entrainment data. The intake structure design selected for the Susquehanna SES was based on environmental as well as. economic costs meeting BTA requirements (Ref...7 S 8). The Susquehanna SES intake structure location and type were based on availability of water and topography in the vicinity surrounding the station. The location of the intake on the river is in an area which has tended to limit the types and quantities of organisms present {Ref. 1, 1974). Comparisons of flow volume, available organisms; flow rates, design of the intake structure, river conditions and sampling data indicate that the Susquehanna SES intake is not unique. The projected estimates of 'mpingement and entrainment values for the Susquehanna SES are similar to data collected for studies at Hunlock SES, Martins Creek

SES, Brunner Island SES and Three Mile Island NS.

Based on data collected from field impingement and entrainment studies at similar electric generating stations which indicated that the impacts are not adverse, an impingement and entrainment'field study at the Susquehanna SES should not be required as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit. 7 VIII References \\ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1'.

Dear llr. Ulanowski:

During our meeting of March 4, 19SO at lYilkcs Barre'we discussed our submittal of January 9,

19SO regarding Special Condition C of our NPDES Permit &0047325.

Our submittal included a predictive model to satisfy this condition.

During this meeting you requested that PP/L submit a program for confixnation of predicted organism e>>trainment values.

You also concurred with our conclusion that impingement losses would bo >>egligiblo and that further monitoring would not be required.

Accordi>>gly, wc are submitti>>g a proposed verification program for cntrainmont values for.fish larvae which wc reel certain will verify our predictive model.

I1 program is as follows:

Sampling Frequency-

.o Fish larvae will be sampled at the intake bay at which t>>o pumps arc operating: >>

1.

Threo times per 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> day (including daylight and nighttime) at approxinatcly S hour intervals).**

2.

Approxinately five minutes duration per replicate.

3.

Two sample days pcr month.

Sampling Level-o Samples will bc withdrawn at two levels 1.

Near the botton of tho shimmer wall; 2.

Near the botton of thc intake aperture.

• There are two bays with t>>o full capacity punps pcr bay.

Normal station operation rcquircs three of these four >>umps to operate.

III. Sample Volume-0 A calibrated volume delivery pump with a discharge collection filter.will be used >>'hich delivers approximately 500 gallons per minute.

Since tho sample will bo of about S minutes duration, each sample.volumo will be about 2500 gallons.

IV.

Identification-o Fish larvae collected will bo identified to the lowest feasiblo taxon.

V.

Program Duration-o This program wil'1 be conducted for a period of three months during the spa>>ming season which at the Susq.

SES is Hay, Juno and July.

VI.

Roporting-1'le >>ill supply you copies of'tho draft report upon review and completion, Final results >>ill bo reported to you as an addendum to our routine annual report which is completed prior to May lst of the year following data collection, Copies will be supplied to your office after preparation.

Although you suggested a sampling frequency of four hours rather than the eight hour frequency described

abovo, we have determined that this cannot be accomplished without significant adverse impact on the intake pu>ops.

Since tho cooling towers will not be in operation during this sampling period there will be no evaporation and the intake rate will exceed the blowdown rate.

As a result it will be necessary to cycle the'so pumps on and off to permit blowdown of water accumulated in the cooling tower basins between sampling periods.'hese pumps are dosigned for continuous operation and a limited number of cycles are permittod.

Ne have therefore.

proposed a eight hour interval bet>>een sampling periods.

You suggested also in our meeting that wo should consider sampling at bottom, middle and surface levels.

4'e ca>not at this time d termine a practical method for sampling at thxee different levels.

Ne have deteminod howovcr from our data on existing river concontrations o* fish larvae that these organisms tend to group at either the bottom or,surfaco lovel.

1'ie consider that thoro will be no loss of confidence in verification of the program with tho d'cscribed sampling.

Since this is not, normal operational

>>'o also request your approval or this puzj7 lg nd release'oncept.

Page l)o trust that this verification program as described will servo to verify our initial program submittal of January 9, 1980.

Ne,,request your approval of this program as described at-your earliest convenience since we fully intend to proceed during lay of 1980.

Dear 1& Ulanoski:

~

~

ter considerable consideration, it has been determined that Susquehanna SES operations cannot support our proposal for an entrainment verification program.

r The impending Integrated Flush of the Unit 1 Reactor Pressux'e Vessel and associated testing will require large quantities of water and reliable opera-tion of the service water and circulating.water systems.

As a result, PP6L intends to conduct the approved verification program during the spring of 1981 We will report results as described in our proposal of January',

1980.

This program was approved in your letter of April 29, 1980.

Sincerely,

'> '0 K.R, BURINg
