The Applicants shall maintain suf-ficient records to furnish evidence of compliance with all the environmental conditions herein.
4.
Before engaging in a construction activity not evaluated by the Commission, the Applicants will prepare and re-cord an environmental evaluation of such activity. When the evaluation indicates that such activity may result in a significant adverse environmental impact that was not evaluated, or that is significantly greater than that evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement, the Applicants shall provide a written evaluation of such activities and obtain prior approval of the Director of Site Safety and Environmental Analysis for the activities.
5.
If unexpected harmful effects or evidence of serious damage are detected during facility construction, the Applicants shall provide to the Staff an acceptable analysis of the problem and a plan of action to elimin-ate or significantly reduce the harmful effects or damage.
6.
In addition to the preoperational monitoring programs described in Section 6.1 of the Environ-mental Report, with Amendments, the Staff ret.ommendations included in Section 6.1 of the Final Environmental Statement shall be followed.
7.
The Applicants shall conduct a physical model study of the proposed discharge system and, on the basis of the results of that study, present a final design for the discharge system to the Staff for evaluation and approval prior to commitment to a final design (see Section 5.3.1.2 of the Final Environmental Statement).
8.
The Applicants shall operate the cooling water intake traveling screens continuously for one year beginning with commercial operation of Unit 1.

9.
The Applicants shall be required tci survey, prior to construction, appropriate local, State and Federal agencies to determine if the golden nematode exists along the proposed transmission corridors.
If the result of this survey indicates that the nematode does exist along the transmission corridor, then the Applicants shall be required prior to commencement of construction of these lines to develop a plan for preventing the spread of the nematode during the construction of the Jamesport transmission lines.
In addition, the Applicants shall survey appropriate agencies to determine if the nematode will present a problem during plant construction.
If a survey indicates that the nematode would be spread as a result of plant construction, the Applicants shall be required to develop a plan to control the spread of the nematode.
If either plan becomes necessary, tne Applicants shall develop the plans in close coopera-tion with appropriate local, State and Federal agencies and the plans shall be submitted to the Commission Staff for approval.
10.
A salvage excavation of the Hallock's Pond site will be conducted prior to the start of construction on the Jamesport Nuclear Power Station. Applicants will contract to have the salvage excavation performed by a professional archaeologist.
The choice of archeo-logist and salvage excavation proposal shall % subject to the approval of the Advisory Council on E.storic Preservation.
Upon receipt of the Applicants' excava-tion proposal, the Advisory Council shall have 30 days to notify the Applicants of the acceptability of the proposal.
If the Advisory Council does not respond within 30 days, the Applicants' proposal shall become final.
11.
Applicants will be required to employ reasonable measures to limit further deterioration of the homes in the Northville Historic District.

The Applicants shall consult with the New York State Historic Preservation Office with regard to the available techniques for limiting further deterioration of homes. At the expiration of the resident's life tenancy in the Hallock house (House #65 as identified in the " Report on an Archaeological Reconnaissance" prepared by Messrs. Vetter and Salwen), the Applicants will, at the least, apply the above condition to this home.
The Applicants shall make the homes available to qualified historic preservation groups for restora-tion on the condition that the Applicants shall retain responsibility for seeing to it that further deteriora-tion is controlled in accordance with the above condition.
12.
Any spraying performed at the time of initial clearing of the transmission line corridors shall be done by using the following precautions:
Only those preselected plants deemed a.
undesirable should be sprayed specifically in maintaining the right-of-way.
b.
No spraying shall be permitted within 100 ft. of a body of water or wetland area.
c.
Spray droplets shall be greater than 200 pm for ground spraying.
Formulations with high volatility shall be avoided.
d.
Sprayirg shall not be performed when the wind is greater than 5 mph, when the temperature is greater than 90 F, or during precipitation or when precipitation is likely.
e.
No area of intensive human ute shal' be sprayed.
f.
If pastures or other grazing areas are to be sprayed, the owner or lessee shall be notifi'ed in sufficient time concerning the spraying operation, the nature of the materials to be used, and the potential adverse effects to his livestock (e.g., residues in milk affecting marketability).
g.
All herbicide use shall be in accordance with appropriate local, State, and Federal requirements; specifically, all herbicides shall be used in accordance with registra-tion.
h.
All application of herbicides will be performed by a certified professional individual or under the immediate supervision of such an individual.
13.
If, during dewatering for the base of the reactor contain-ment structure, the chloride concentration in the water of the monitoring well exceeds 250 mg/ liter, the Appli-cants will cease dewatering or take other actions, such as increasing the recharge rate until the situ-ation is corrected.
In addition to on site monitoring, one well east of the site described as well #22 or its equivalent in location shall be monitored in order to detect in a timely manner any adverse effects and to take whatever corrective action is required.
,, 14.
Where severe traffic proolems are encountered as a result of the planned construction, the Appli-cants will take reasonable measures to minimize such adverse impacts.
15.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in the process of clarifying whether or not Section 423, Subpart D (40 C.F.R. 423, Subpart D) of EPA regulations (Area Runoff Category) applies to plants other than operating plants.
Unless and until EPA has ruled on the scope of the applicability of the area rainfall runoff subcategory as not applying to on site construction activities or to off site construction activities (e.g., for construction of the proposed transmission lines and railroad spur), the Staff will require that the effluent limitations established by EPA for construction rainfall runoff or the provisions of an appropri-ate National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit governing the facility be met.
16.
The Applicant shall redesign the non-Seismic Category I portions of Fuel Building (designated as such in the PSAR) to Seismic Category I requirements.
In doing so, the Applicant shall assure that all por-tions of the Fuel Building structure and systems which serve as a low leakage barrier to provide atmospheric isolation of the spent fuel storage pool and associated fuel handling area are designed to Seismic Category I.
