20 4.0 Environmental Surveillance and Special Study Programs 4.1 Biological 4.1.1 Aquatic a.
Lake Survey Discussion large scale, intensive aquatic ecological sampling has been perfomed in the vicinity of Nine Mile Point since 1972. Plankton, benthos, periphyton, and nekton were collected during well-designed surveys, identified, counted, and analyzed accord-ing to appropriate methods. No significant impact of the FitzPatrick Plant in conjunction with the Nine Mile Point Plant on these trophic levels was found.
Nekten Samolino Procram Monthly bottom gill nets shall be set at the 30' depth at all four transects (see Figure 4.1.1-1).
See Table 4.1.1-1 for sampling schedule.
On each sampling date, nets shall be set at night for a period of approximately 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> during the April through December period.
In order to provide comparative data between impingement collections and the Lake Program, each gill net collection shall be scheduled for tne night preceeding an impinge-ment collection. All fish collected shall be separated by species. A random sample of 40 fish per species shall be analyzed for length and weight from collections with more than 40 fish of a species only. Lengths and weights of each fish shall be taken for species with less than 40 individuals in the collection.
Water Quality Temperature and dissolved oxygen shall be measured in conjunction with each gill net set.
2215 137 Amendment No. 46
21 Reportina Recuirements At the end of each year of study, the results from the Lake Program shall be summarized in the Annual Environmental Operating Report.
Bases The information obtained will provide an adequate index of the condition of the aquatic ecosystem of the NMP vicinity.
b.
Impingement of Organisms Objective To estimate the number and weight and to determine the species of fish impinged on the traveling screens in the intake screenwell.
Soecification The species and numbers of fish removed from the traveling screens during a 24-hour period shall be recorded.
Sampling days each month shall be designated using the stratified random program outlined in Table 4.1.1-1 All fish collected shall be separated by species. A random sample of 40 fish per species shall be analyzed for length and weight from collections with more than 40 fish of a species only.
Based upon the mean weight of individuals of each species, an estimate of the numcer of fish by species shall be calculated.
When the number of fish collected during a 24-hour period exceeds 20,000, sampling shall be continued until the number af fish is diminished to less than 20,000 in a 24-hour period.
Reportino Recuirements When the number of fish collected during a 24-hour period exceeds 20,000, the NRC Regicnal Office shall be notified by telephone within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after sampling collections are completed.
When the number of fish collected during a 24-Amendment No. 46 hour5.324074e-4 days <br />0.0128 hours <br />7.60582e-5 weeks <br />1.7503e-5 months <br /> period is reduced to less than 20,S0$ a 2215 1
22 licensing event report shall be prepared.
In the event that collection exceeds 20,000 for more than 7 days, an LER shall be filed at the end of the seventh day and every seventh day thereafter.
Table 4.1.1-2 shows the monthly maxima exper-ienced during 1975-1978.
In the event that the total monthly number of fish im6inged exceeds the number indicated by 50%, the NRC Regional Office shall be notified by tele-phone within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of determining such, and an environmental impact assessment will be conducted and a report of the assessment will be included in the Annual Environmental Operating Report.
A report of impingement sampling results shall be included in the Annual Environmental Operating Report, submitted to the Director of the NRC Regional Office, in accadrance with Section 5.6.1.
Bases The program in the Specification will monitor the magnitude of fish impingement at the FitzPatrick Plant.
