2,1 THER!ML DISCHARGE LIMITa, Monitoring Requirement Objective Reservoir water temperatures used to help show cc pliance The purpose of this speelfication is to with rpplicable standards vill limit the therr al stress en aquatic life be measured at the ote-meter and in Wheeler Reservoir by operating Browns two-meter depths and averaged to Ferry Nuclear Plant so as to meet the give a tc=perature applicable to applicable veter quality temperature the five-foot depth, which is the standards of the State of Alabama.
Point of application of thq current Alabama temperature standards.
Specification Three ther=al monitors spaced across the reservoir in the einity of river mile 293.5 shall be used to The maximum plant-induced temperature measure downstream mixed water te=p-rise and the maximum water temperature cratures. The system.is designed measured downstream of the plant dis-so that the downstream monitors serve charge in Wheeler Reservoir caused by aa backup for one another.

The locations of temper-issued by the Environmental Protection ature monitors are displayed in Agency.*

streamflow by the Erowns Ferry plant.
All necessary plant and reservoir data is transmitted to the Browns Ferry meteorological station. The meteorolocical station vill receive the data and record the readings once hourly. All data are auto-matically recorded and maintained for record keeping purposes.
Calculations necessary to compute parameters for showing co=pliance vith applicable thermal standards

93 F before that limit is implemented by TVA.
In the event the system described is out of service, an alternate method vill be employed three times a day (once each shift) to measure the temperature rise and the maximum river vnter te=perature below the plant. When such a method would result in an imminent and substantial endangerment to the 8007220S U safety of personnel, this paragraph shall not app 1y.
