Dear Mr. Giambusso:
Re:
Turkey Point Plant Units 3 and 4
Docket Nos.
-2 and 50-25l Environmental echnical S ecifications In accordance with paragraph 4.A.3 of Appendix B, Environmental Technical Specififcations (ETS), issued with Facility Operating License DPR-4l on April 10, l973, Florida Power s Light Company herewith submits in three signed originals and l9 additional copies, the proposed Alternative Aquatic Environmental Surveillance 6 Assessment Program for Turkey Point Plant Units 3 and 4.
The Turkey Point Plant cooling system has continued to operate satisfactorily in the closed
- mode, and the attached Alternative Program is designed for application to closed-mode operation.
In accordance with paragraph 4.A.3 of the ETS, the Alternative Program would supersede the requirements of paragraphs 4.A.l.a, b, c, d, e, f and 4.A.2d.
In view of the deadline provided in paragraph 4.A.3 of the ETS, your expeditious review and approval is requested so that the actions required to implement the program can be completed as soon as possible.
Yours ver
- truly, Robert E. Uhrig Director of Nuclear Activities REU:rp Enclosure 2

Technical Specifications Section 4.A TITLE Alternative Aquatic Environmental Surveillance 6 Assessment.
Program for Closed Mode of Operation AUTHOR N.
W. Walls
~Fur ose:
The purpose of surveillance and special study programs is..."to provide information to be used in assessment of effects of plant operations upon the environment."
The Turkey Point cooling canal system is unique and therefore offers an opportunity to contribute new and constructive information on the biological evolution that will occur in an artificially created aquatic system that repres'ents a different approach to environmental control.
To this end, a one-year program has been designed to monitor effluents discharged from the plant for their chemical and physical characteristics, the relationship of this to the aquatic biota of a cooling canal system, and the differences this system may develop compared to an adjacent estuary ecosystem for which three (3) years of baseline data are available.
The objectives of the program are:
(1) to compare chemical and physical characteristics of water after its pa'ssage through the plant with water in the adjacent estuary.
(2) to compar'e the chemical characteri;sti:cs of sediments i:n the canal system with those of the adjacent estuary.
(3) to follow the biological succession that occurs in the Turkey Point cooling canal system and investigate correlations between this and the physicochemical characteristics of the aquatic system-Procedure:
A biological monitoring program will be conducted to document the ecological succession in the plankton, fish, and benthic components of the aquatic community of the Turkey Point cooling canal system.
The results obtained will be compared with condenser cooling water data and sediment chemistry data to detect any biological changes that may be the result of operation of the Turkey Point power plant units.
This information will be further compared with the three years of baseline data on the biological characteristics of the adjacent. Biscayne Bay/Card Sound estuary system already collected by the University of Miami in a program jointly funded by the AEC and FPL.

a)
Plankton:
Water samples for plankton analysis will be collected monthly at each of eight stations.
lively in terms of sample volume to establish the dominant, genera of the community, biomass, and pigment (chlorophyll "a") content.
Primary productivity will also be determined monthly.
in terms of sample volume to determine taxonomic groups present, their relative abundance,
- biomass, and life history stage.
b)
Fish:
Samples will be collected monthly by seining or trawling at the same stations as plankton.
These will be analyzed for species present, their relative abundance, life history stage,
- biomass, and size distri-bution.
In the event of exceptional kills in the cooling system canals, notifi-cation shall be made within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> by telephone or telegraph to the Directorate of Regulatory Operations.
c)
Benthic biota:
Sediment samples will be collected monthly at the same locations as plankton and analyzed for:
Characteristics of the Soil:
Samples will be analyzed for pH, salinity, conductivity, and the presence of selected nutrients.
These data will be compared with samples collected from three aquatic control areas outside the cooling canal system itself.
Microbial Activit in Sediments:
Aliquots of sediment soil will be placed in enrichment media to determine the presence or absence of microorganisms responsible for nutrient turnover of organic materials trapped in sediments.
The data obtained from the above programs (paragraph l.a through l.c) will be analyzed as they are collected and compared with preoperational data collected in Biscayne Bay/Card Sound.
A report to the AEC of the results of this evaluation will be submitted within 60 days after each anniversary of the start of the program.
At the end of each year, the direction of the program and the need for its continuance will be reevaluated.
