3.1.3 Ecological Surveill.ince 3.1.3.1 Study Plan An operational ecological surveillance program shall be established to provide fish impingement data at the Beaver Valley Power Station This informatics will be used as an indicator of intake screens.
and aquatic life in the Ohio River in the vicinity of the plant, compared with previous data.
The Terrestrial Ecological Survey program element and soil Chemistry Curtailment revision program element involve long term monitoring.
or any changes to the scope of the survaillsnce program shall be entered as a revision to the BVPS Unit 1 Environmental Technical Specifications. The following is a summary of each program element designed to detect environmental change.
Fish Impingecent Program Element I=pingement of fish on the traveling screens shall be monitored and the data collected shall be co: pared with data obtained previously.
Terrestrial Ecological Survey Frogram Element The Terrestrial Ecological Survey program element shall assess the potential impact of the ccoling tover drift on the terrestrial vegetation of the. site and its vicinity by cocparison and evaluation of infrared aerial photographs taken once every two years. Location, and severity of any stressed areas shall be documented and
- extent, related to meteorological data.
Soil Chemistry Proeram Elesent The soil chemistry program element shall provide data to assess possible changes in soil pH and conductivity resciting from the operation of the cooling tower.

1 3.1.3.7 Fish Impingement Ob$ective To monitor the quantity of impinged fish on the traveling screens.
Specification The number, length and weight of all species collected in the river water tra'sh basket shall be identified for one 24-hour period per week.
If large numbers (>500) of fish should be found, subsampling shall be performed to estimate number, length, and weight of at least 10% of the total impinged population of each species.
Species selected for subsampling shall be representative of the range of lengths collected in the trash basket.
3-14 Amendment No. 25 o
I
During the 24-hour period, the number and length of each species which washes through the holes in the trash basket shall be determined by:
(1) placing a 1/4" mesh net around hnd under the trash basket or (2).
placing a similar net around the discharge pipe returning screen wash water to the river or (3) placing 1/4 mesh net inside the trash basket.
Reporting Requirement An assessment of data collected in this program element shall be reported in accordance with Section 5.6.1.
Bases Collection of impinged fish in the river water trash basket on a weekly basis shall assure that the majority of the fish species being impinged shall be identified and an estimate of fish loss resulting from normal plant operation shall be provided. The significance of these losses shall be assessed by comparing impingement at the intake with data collected in the river.

3.1.3.9 Terrestrial Ecological Survey Objective To determine the effects of cooling tower drif t on terrestrial biota.
Specification Incipient impacts of cooling tower drift on the terrestrial vegetation of the site and its vicinity shall be detected with color infrared aerial photography.
Interpretation of the infrared photographs shall include ground reconnaissance of selected areas.
Aerial phstos shall be taken on color infrared film at a scale of 1 inch = 400 feet.
Photos shall be taken between 11 AM and 2 PM EDT during the middle of the growing season and as close as possible to the same date during alternate years. The flight direction shall remain the same as preoperational flights.
Photographs shall be free of cloud shadows. The film processor will insure that processing methods and conditions shall' remain the same throughout the study.
A flight log shall be compiled when the photographs are taken and processed.
Information to be recorded shall include:
the model and serial number of camera and lens (these should be the same for each flight - exceptions must be authorized):
film and lot number; filter number; altitude at the end of each flight line; time at the end of each flight line; date of flight; and flight map showing flight lines.

The period of the first report shall begin with the date of initial criticality.
The report shall include summaries, interpretations, and statistical evalua-tion of the results of the nonradiological environmental surveillance activities (Section 3.0) and the environmental monitoring programs required by limiting conditions for operation (Section 2.0) for the report period.
A comparison with preoperational studies, operational controls (as appropriate), and previous environmental surveillance reports, and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operation on the environment shall be provided.
If harmiul elfects 1
or evidence of irreversible damage are detected by the monitoring.
the licensee shall provide an analysis of the problem and a proposed course of action to alleviate the problem.
(2) Radiolog. cal Volume #2 A report on the radiological environmental surveillance programs for the previous 12 months of operation shall be submitted to the Regional Director of the Office of Inspec-tion Enforcement (with copy to Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation) as a separate volume (#2; cf the Annual Environ-mental Operating Report within 120 days after January 1 of each year. The period of the first report shall begin with the date of initial criticality.
The report shall include summaries, interpretations, and statistical evaluation of the results of the radiological environmental surveillance l
activities for the report period, including a comparison l
with preoperational studies, operational controls (as appropriate) and previous environmental surveillance reports, j
and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operation on the environment.
If harmful effects or evidence of irreversible damage are detected by the monitoring, the licensee shall provide an analysis of the problem and a proposed course of action to alleviate the problem.
