1.3 CENERAL AQUATIC SURVEILLANCE Objective:
To determine the ef fects of' Oconee Nuclear, Station's oper-ation on the aquatic ecosystem of Lake Keowee and the area of Lake Hartwell influenced by the thermal and chemical discharges.
Specification:
Surveillance programs.shall be conducted to detect and quantify Oconee's ef fects on water quality, fish, periphyton, plankton, and benthos.
Bases:
Requireraents and details of.the aquatic surveillance specifications are describe'd in Sections 1.3.1 through 1.3.5.
A tabular surgmary of the aquatic surveillance program items is included in Table 1.0-1.

_13 1.3.4 PHYTOPLANKTON - ZOOPLANKTON RECEIVING WATER STUDY Objective:
The species composition and numbers of organisms per unit volume obtained by sampling at stations affected by the discharge plume will be compared to similar data collected at control stations.
Specification: Bimonthly sampling (6 times /yr.) shall be done at Statica.1 500, 503, 505, 506, 509.5 (intake structure), 508 (discharge cove),
19 14 6 and 508.5 (approximately midway between 508 and 504).,The latter two stations shall be geographically. fixed points used to examine for cooling water effects.
i Both whole water samples and samples concentrated using a plankton net will be collected. The sampling at stations affected by the discharge shall consist of samples taken at water depths, both affected and not affected by the plume.
At the control stations, samples will also be taken at these corresponding depths.
Basis:
Stations 500 and 506 will serve as controls.
Stations 503, 505, discharge stations as stated, and at the intake serve to detect plant operation effects.
The discharge plume stations and depths sampled will be; selected to determine (1) ef fects due to condenser passage on the species composition and concen-tration of organisms in the' area affected by the plume, and (2) possible recovery and reincorporation effects at points along the discharge plume.
Both determinations can be used to express the net system effects.
~
Sampling at depths affected by the plume and at depths below the plume is an attempt to detect any change in species composition or number of organisms at the greater depths that may result from the inability of condenser entrained organisms to maintain themselves in the plume. This selection of sampling depths in the plume and below the plume will be based on all, or any combination, of the following methods:
temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll "a",
irradiance, or transmissometry profiles.

l.6 PLUME HAPPING FOR TEMPERATURE AND DISSOLVED OXYGEN j
Objective:
To provide temperature and dissolved oxygen dcta for defining the discharge plume and for checking the accuracy of predictions of plume characteristics.
Specification:
At least four times per year, special sampling studies shall l19146 be made to identify and characterize the cooling water discharge plume with respect to dissolved oxygen and temperature. Data shall be collected from a minimum of 30 sampling points, follow-ing a sampling pattern designed to achieve coverage of the plume.
Three of the surveys shall be conducted during periods when the following conditions are expected:
- 1) Maximum condenser cooling water discharge temperature
- 2) Maximum acreage of discharge plume
- 3) Minimum condenser cooling water dissolved oxygen concen.
tration.
Bases:
The mapping program will define the temperature and' dissolved oxygen gradients in the plume, especially in the region near the discharge where ramentum and mixing are the prevalent processes influencing the plume's horizontal and vertical
- dimensions.
This mapping program will effectively complement the surveillance program defined in Section 1.3.
