NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 3 O^"f f
/. E WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 t %,
gv j September 12, 1979 Docket No. 50-272 Mr. F. P. Librizzi, General Manager Electric Production Public Service Electric and Gas Company 80 Park Place, Room 7221 Newark, New Jersey 07101
Dear Mr. Librizzi:
The Commission has issued e enclosed Amendment No.19 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-70 for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit No. 1.
This amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications in response to your request dated December 21, 1977 as supplemented on May 9,1979.
The amendment makes changes that delete the non-radiological Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS), Appendix B to the license, that are duplicated in the 316(b) Plan of Study required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The amendment request also included changes to the radiological ETS.
These radiological changes are being reviewed separately.
You requasted that the aquatic portion of Section 3.1.2 and alI of Section 4.1 be deleted and that the requirements of these sections be met through the 316(b) Plan of Study now required by EPA. This would relieve you from being required to conduct two similar, but separate, environmental monitoring programs for the two different agencies.
This is in accord with Federal government policy regarding duplication of regulations as outlined in the Second Memorandum of Understanding between NRC and EPA.
We discussed the 316(b) Plan with EPA and the other affected natural resource agencies prior to its approval by EPA. We find that it fully meets the concerns identified during our environmental review. Quarterly inetings among NRC staff, the licensee, EPA, National Marine Fisheries Service, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the States of Delaware and O/f 7910020 @

Mr. F. P. Librizzi Public Service Electric and Gas Conpany September 12, 1979 New Jersey have been scheduled to insure that all interest agencies are fully infomed and actively involved in any changes that may be made to the 316(b) progran. Because the NRC will be directly involved in any decisions that are made concerning the monitoring program, our reliance on the 216(b) Plan and the deletion of the monitoring program currently required by the ETS will not affect our ability to assess the environmental inpacts of plant operation.
The 316(b) Plan is designed to collect data specifically for impact assessnent and in this respect is superior to the monitoring program now required by Appendix B to the ETS. Hence its substitution by reference in the ETS in place of the current monitoring program will not result in increased environmental ;npact and fs therefore acceptable.
This substitution will provide for reporting results of monitoring cond ucted under the 316(b) Plan to NRC in the annual report. The bases for the proposed new section of the ETS describe NRC participation in the interagency review group and indicate how decisions to change the 316(b) Plan will be nade.
ele have deternined that the amendment does not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact. Having nade this determination, we have further concluded that the amendnent involves an action which is insignificant fron the standpoint of environmetal inpact and, pursuant to 10 CFP, 551.5(d)(4), that an environnental inpact statenent or negative declaration and environ-nental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of this anenonent, h have concluded, based on the consideratiors discussed above, that:
(1) because the amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, the anendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed nanner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Conmission's regulations and the issuance of this anendnent will not be ininical to the connon defense and security or to the oealth and safety of the public.
