IMR 2.1979 Docket l;o. 50-341 Detroit Edison Company ATTil:
Dr. Wayne Jens,ttanager Engineering and Construction 2000 Second Avenue Detroit, >!ichigan 48226 Gentlemen:
In our letter of !iovember 30, 1978 the staff indicated it was evaluating the technical adecuacy of the proposed pre-operational and operational
' aquatic monitoring programs for the Fermi Unit No. 2 Atomic Power Plant.
The evaluation was based upon material submitted by Detroit Edison during the October 31, 1970 site visit and a subsequent revision to the pre-operational nrogram which was telecopied to Mr. Clifford A. Haupt on December 18, 1978.
We have completed our evaluation and conclude that the proposed pre-operational aquatic monitoring program as presented in both the December 18 telecopy message and the response to Question 10 provided in your letter of December 26, 1978 is adequate provided the changes shown in the Enclosure to this letter are incorporated into the program.
With regard to the operational aquatic monitoring program, the staff finds it would not be prudent to finalize the structure of these program elements at this juncture since they may be modified to reflect the findings of the pre-operational study.
It would be expected that the details of the operational prograa would be formulated by Detroit Edison during the latter phases of the ore-operational study.
In general the operational program should be structured such that it would be consistent with the elements of the pre-operaticnal program e.g., sampling location, so as to permit valid statistical correlations to be drawn between the operational and pre-operational phases of the programs.
With respect to your February 23, 1979 letter which includes an interpretation of ALAB-515, the staff is currently developing a position and procedures to reflect the integrated responsibilities of the fiRC, the U. S. EPA and the states in formulating effective environmental monitoring programs for the operation of nuclear power plant facilities.
Ycu will be informed when these procedures have been finalized.

Detroit Edison In the interim we recommend that ycu maintain your previcusly established schedule for the implementation of the pre-operational aquatic monitoring program.

Enclosure NRC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FERMI II PREOPERATIONAL ACUATIC MONITCRING PROGRAM Introduction This section should be modified to reflect that the purpose of the study is to permit statistical correlations to be drawn between operational and pre-operational phases so as to ascertain the degree of impact to aquatic organisms from Fermi II operation.
Samoling Location
~ Stations No. 2 and 6 should be located such that they are out of the zone of influence of the plant thermal plume.
Water Chemistry Determinination of the direction of water currents should be part of the water chemistry monitoring program..
Water samples and aquatic species should be taken at the same specific Station locations. Water samples should not be a composite sample along each of the three transects.
Fisheries Peculation Studies These studies should in general emphasize the correlation of data i
relative to important species of fish e.g., forage species.
Station flo. 7A (at the intake screen) should be sampled during the pre-operational j
and operational phases when the plant is operational.
If the plant is not operating, samples should be taken in the intake canal (Station No. 7) l Ichthycolankton Lake ichthyoplankton samples should be taken only at stations Nos. 5 & 6.
Sampling at Station No. 7A (intake screen should include three (3) 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> samples /wk with each 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> sample being taken 3 times per day and 3 times per night during the spawning season and one (1) 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> sample /wk 3 times per day and 3 per night during the non-spawning period.
Fish Imoincement Impingement data should be collected for three (3) continucus 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> samoles/wk during the spawning season and two (2) continucus 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> samples /wk during the remainder of the year at the intake screen (Station 7A).
