Specification (General)

~

~

All plant chemical discharges except that from the plant sanitary system shall be diluted by the plant circulating water during release to assure that the stated objective can be achieved. No release of demineralizer waste shall be made without a dilution equivalent to one-half (approximately 383,000 gpm) the full flow of the Unit 1 circulating water pumps.

Any limitation on the quality of plant effluents and requirements for 8

monitoring the same imposed under conditions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act shall be a part of these Technical Specifications. All reports to state or federal agencies regarding compliance with any such limitation shall also be provided to NRC as described in specification 5.6.2.

Total available chlorine residual in the plant effluent shall be less than 0.1 mg/1.

If the total available chlorine residual in the discharge canal exceeds 0.1 mg/1, the chlorine feed rate 'shall be reduced to. a rate at which this specification can be met.

b.

Chlorine (Sanitary Waste System)

The hypochlorinator of the sewage-treatment system shall be maintained so that the free available chlorine residual of the effluent shall not be greater than 0.1 mg/l at point of discharge to the embayment.

Monitoring Requirement a.

Chlorine (Circulating Water System)

Total available chlorine residual in the discharge canal shall be measured twice weekly during periods of chlorination.

8 Analyses will bc made according to Standard Methods Number 114F or 114B or method of equivalent accuracy or precision.

b.

Chlorine (Sanitary Waste System)

The sewage treatment effluent shall be checked monthly to ensure that the total available chlorine residual is not greater than 0.1 mg/l at point of discharge to the embayment.

8 Analysis will be made according to Standard Methods Number 114F or 114B or method of equivalent accuracy or precision.

Bases The once-through circulating water flow taken from the Illinois Bayou arm of the Dardanelle Reservoir will pass through the turbine condenser and will be discharged into an 80-acre embay-ment of the Reservoir.

Analysis of the chlorine demand of the Arkansas River water (i.e., the amount of chlorine required to oxidize substances in the water which reduce free chlorine) range from 2 to 4 mg/l for a contact time of 10 minutes.

Reaction of chlorine with the untreated dilution water during the 4 to 5 minutes required for the flow to reach the embayment should reduce the concentration of total available chlorine residual below 0.1 mg/l in the effluent.

It is estimated that Unit 1 chlorine usage will be 330,000 lb/ year.

When the gross activity release rate exceeds one percent of maximum release rate specified in Specification 2.4.2.3.a and the average' gross activity release rate increases by 50 percent over the previous day, an analysis shall be performed for i.odines and particulates. J (2) A proportional sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid uaste discharged from the plant. (3) The detectability limits for activity analysis are based on the technical feasibility and on the potential significance in the environment of the quantities released. For some nuclides, lower detection limits may be readily achievoule and when nuclides are measured below the stated limits, they should also be reported. (4) For certain mixtin: ; of gamma emitters, it may not be possible to measure radionuclides in concentrations near their sensitivity limits when other nuclides are present in the sample in much greater concentrations. Under these circumstances, it will be more appropriate to <. 4. calculate the. concentration of such radionuclides using observed ratios witie those radio-nuclides which are measurable. a I t

Velocities greater than 2.0 fps are expected to exist at the intake screens. Therefore loss of fish due to impingement against the intake screens is expected to occur. Monitoring specified in 4.1.2 shall permit a quantitative assessment of the impact and an early identification of the need, if any, for corrective action or modifications to the intake system. 3.2 Discharge System There are no design features or operating practices pertaining to the discharge system not covered in Section 2 which would have a significant adverse effect on the environmental impact if changed. 3.3 Chemical Usage To assure that changes in the use of chemicals to treat plant water systems are preceded by consideration of environmental impact, the use of chemicals other than biocides to treat plant water systems of ANO 8 Unit 1 shall be restricted to those chemicals listed in Table 3-1. Short term and annual use rates shall not exceed the limits in the table by more than a factor of 3.0. Records of actual chemical usage shall be maintained and summarized by month in reports filed under Specification 5.6.1. If actual short-teqm or annual use rate exceeds the values in Table 3-1 by more than a factor of 3.0 or if other chemicals must be used, environmental effects of such chemical usage, the expected release concentration and the duration of use shall be reported in accordance with Specification 5.6.2. 3.4 Plant Shutdown The rate of change of the condenser discharge water temperature is limited by Specification 2.1.4 to protect aquatic organisms from thermal shock as a result of plant shutdown. 3.5 Land Management Transmission line rights-of-way have low growing species of cedar, sumac, oak and shrubs as a screen and to assist with erosion control. Planting of grass and clover shall be carried out to further prevent erosion. Further plantings of game food and cover shall be made in cooperation with landowners and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. No herbicides shall be used for land management on transmission line rights-of-way.

-g 3-2 (- The grounds in the immediate vicinity of the plant building shall be i landscaped. Remaining portions of the plant site shall be allowed to remain in their present wild state with the exception of the area on which the visitors center will be located.

') ~ 4-1 (Next Page 4-6) ^ 8 4.0 _ ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE The surveillance program provides an examination of the aquatic eco ' system of Lake Dardanelle in the vicinity of the plant as well as providing information on air, precipitation, ground water, soil, vege-tation and milk by radiological analysis of samples in the area of the plant., Since the aquatic ecosystem is the most likely to be affected both chemically and radiologically by plant operation, more emphasis has been placed on its surveillance. The waters of Lake Dardanelle are subjected to frequent chemical and radiological analyses.' Organisms that live in the lake are studied biologically and subjected to radiological testing. Studies are also made on the effects of impingement and entrainment of organisms in the cooling water system. Provision is also made for temperature monitoring and controlling the rate of change in water temperature (Specification 2.1.4). Results of the program, including the reports submitted in accordance with Specification 5.6, will be reviewed as specified in 5.3,. 4.1 Nonradiological Environmental Surveillance 4.1.1.
