Dear Carl:
The terrestrial ecology construction monitoring program was discussed at our meeting in Rockville on January 23,1980, we suggested that this program should be reduced in scope and that the NRC Se informed of :he reduction.
The current construction monitoring program consist: of three separate programs:
(1) crar.efly orchid, C) -2ptors, and (3) vegetation. 09cause we have sh:'vn no statisticai differences between years,it is concluded chat construction has had no effect en the cranefly orchid populations; therefore, we recom. nend that this program e term nated. As part of a limited surveillance effert in coajunction sith vegetation snonttoring, we can continued to qua:itatively menttar the orchid populations and du'.cct deliterious changes should they occur.
The raptor program should be continued through the 1980 breeding season and then terminated. This would hopefully refute or substantiate a correlation between a declining screech owl population and severe winters.
The vegetation monitoing program consists of annually photographing the site with color infrared film in late summer. Com"r.ed with ground reconnaissance,,
this is a means by which to detect vegetative s: ess and it also provides a permanent record of natural succession / land use conditions. We recommend that this program be continued until the preoperational monitoring program is initiated.
If there are any questions relative to these tasks please let me know.
Sincerely, 9

Dear Carl:
The aquatic ecology construction monitoring program was discussed at our meeting 23,1980 and in your letter of February 15,1980. It is in Rockville on January suggested that this program be reduced in scope and that the NRC be informed of the reduction.
CE! initiated construction at Perry late in October 1974 and initiated construction monitoring in November 1974. The monitoring program was submitted to NRC (then AEC). The general thrust of the monitoring program was to study those water parameters which would indicate deviations from ambient and,if there was unnecessary stress brought about by plant construction, to identify it early enough to allow corrective action to be taken.
Since 1974 to the present the PNPP construction monitoring program included the following physical, chemical and biological parameters:
Monthly pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, total solids, dissolved solids, 1) suspended solids, turbidity, oil and grease, BOD, nitrates, phosphates and bacteria.
2)
Spring, summer and fall benthic macroinvertebrates.
All samples are collected at stations 1,5 and 9. During barge slip construction and dredging, the sampling frequency was increased to weekly. Monthly status reports of the water analysis were submitted to CEI in support of their overall monitoring programs.
..o Mr. Carl Banks March 19,1980 Page Two During the five year monitoring program at the PNPP only slight deviations from ambient water quality were detected. Elevated levels of suspended solids and turbidity in the water column was observed during periods of surface run-off and construction and dredging of the barge slip. These slight deviations from the norm were very localized and temporary, and further, were to be expected. No significant impact would be expected from these slight changes. Occasionally, elevated Icvels of fecal coliform and streptococcus appeared from time to time,
.but these too, were localized and temporary. In a!! cases, the water co umn returned l
to ambient within a month. CEIis to be commended for its rea!Istic attempt to minimize construction impacts to the lake during a period of major construction activities.
In view of the fact that five years of construction monitoring data has indicated no significant construction impacts, and further, that sufficient data has been collected at the site since 1971, we concur with CEI that a reduction in the monitoring program is in order at this time. Therefore, we raccmmend that quarterly benthic sampling be dropped and monthly physical and chemical parameters be reduced to quarterly. These recommendations should remain in affect until the preoperational monitoring phase; at which, time appropriate changes in aquatic monitoring of the lake will be considered.
