' ATTACllMENT 1 BACKGROUND FOR SUSPENSION OF CERTAIN OCETS STUDIES The biological studies described in Specification EA80-5 (Attachment 2) are desigaed to provide supplementary data for JCP6L's Federal Water Pollution Control Act Section 316 (a) and (b) demonstration for DCNGS. The program, which is designed to last for two years, incorporates certain studies that were specifically recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II and the New Jersey Department of Environ-mental Protection (DEP) staffs in a letter dated April 26, 1979, from

11. Lunenfeld, EPA, to I. R. Finfrock, Jr. , JCP6L (Attachment 3) .

Subsequently, JCPSL proposed the concept of concurrently suspending some of the existing OCETS programs for these two years to the EPA and DEP, Dr.

which gave oral agreement to the concept, subject to NRC approval.

Michael T. Masnik of the NRC's biological staff was then contacted and, on November 14, 1979, the NRC, EPA, DEP and JCP6L met to further discuss this concept. The outcome of this meeting, as well as subsequent conversations and correspondence (Attachment 3) with the various agencies,was to submit this change request, which proposes that the environmental monitoring required under Sections 3.1.2. A(2) and 3.1.2.C of the OCETS be suspended for a period of two years, beginning September,1981.It is JCP6L's opinion that suspension of these sections of the OCETS will not result in environ-mental impacts of OCNGS going undetected (Attachment 4). Upon completion of this two-year study program, the suspended OCETS programs will be resumed.

, i ATTACHfENT 2 Specification EA 80-5 Oyster Creek lepingement and Entrainment Studies introduction -

The studies described in this specification are designed to provide supplementary data for JCP&L's 316(a) and (b) demonstration for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The program is based upon specific studies recommended by EPA Region il and NJDEP staf fs as a result of their review of that demonstration. These studies will be performed in lieu of the environmental monitoring required under sections 3.1.2. A(2 s and 3.1.2.C of Appendix B to the full-term operating license Environmental Technical Specifications for the Oyster Creek Station (OCETS). Studies required by Sections 3.1.2.A(2) and 3.1.2.C of the OCETS wil l be suspended during the two year duration of the present investigations detailed in this specification and will be resumed thereafter.

Program of Study -

Duration - Field and laboratory work, 24 months, September 1,1981 through August 31, 1983.

Reports - Progress Reports are due to JCP&L on May 1, 1982 and May 1, 1983, covering the preceeding September 1 through February 28 period.

The first a nual report covering the Septemt:er 1,1981 - August 31, 1982 period will be due to JCP&L on December 31, 1982. The second annual report will cover the e stire two year investigation and will be due to JCP&L on December 31, 1983.

Detailed quantitative and qualitative ' analyses including pertinent comparisons with data collected in previous investigations must be incorporated into all reports.

Quality Assurance - A Quality Assurance Procedure Manual must be submitted to

,;CP&L bef ore December 1,1981. The manual will include detailed descriptions of the procedures for.all field work, laboratory analysis, instrument calibration, I record management, resumes of all personnel, and will be maintained in a current l

condition should methods, procedures or personnel change.

The consultant is expected to conduct internal audits on 'a regular basis. Monthly Quality Assurance reports, in letter form, will be submitted to JCP&L outlining the work scieduled and completed during the previous month. The results of.the internal aud',ts are to be presented in these monthly QA reports.

Field and Laboratory Studies -

Impingement of Fin and Shellfish -

The objectives of the impingement monitoring program are:

1) to determine the species composition and abundsnce of fin and shellfish impinged upon the modified travelling screens.

_A m i

5

2) to determine the initial condition (live, dead, damaged) of tin and shellfish .

3) to determine the latent mortality rates of selected species of Impinged organisms.

4) to determine the collection etficiency of the modifled traveiIIng screens. <

This monitoring program shall be initiated upon completion of the fish return system and the sampling pool. For bidding purposes contractors should assume that the circulating water intake modifications will be completed by the start date (September 1, 1981) of this program although it is possible these modifications will not be completed by that date.

Two modes of intake screen operation will be experienced. During oaylight hours the screens will be operated intermittently, being tripped by differential pressure across the screens, a timer, or operated manually. During hours of darkness, the screens will run continuously. Sampling methodology will vary depending upon mode of screen operation.

1) Species Composition, Abundance and initial Condition -

Continuous Screen Operation (Night Sampling) - Species composition and abundance of fin and shellfish shall be determined for at least seven three-minute screen wash samples during one 12-hour sampling period (commencing two hours after sunset) each week. Condition shall be determined after a 30-minute wait based upon the following criteria:

Live: Swinsning vigorously; no apparent orientation problems; behavior normal.

i l Damaged: Struggling or swimming on side; apparent orientation problems; behavior abnormal or indication of severe abrasions or lacerations.

Dead: No vital life signs; no body or opercular movement; no response to gentle probing.

i

! Total number, catch weight and initial condition, shall be reported by species for each 12 hour1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months sampling period. Estimates of the total number and total weight of each species impinged per week shall be determined using data collected during the sampling periods.

Water. quality (temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and transparency) measurements shall be taken with each 3 minute sample. Instrumentation shall conf orm to the criteria presented in Addendum 1. Meterological, station cooling water flow and heat rejection data shsil be recorded bef ore and af ter each 12 l

l hour sampling perod.

Intermittent Screen Operation (Day Sampling) - Species composition and abundance of tin and shellfish shall be detere'ned for at least four

! three-minute screen wash samples during one 12-hour sampling period per week.

l

1 1

Total number, catch weight and initial condition shall be determined for each species as described above. Estimates of the total number and total weight of each species impinged per week shalI be deterreined using data collected durIng the tampling periods. Water quality measurements shall be taken with each three minute sample as described above.

In both modes of screen oper:3 tion, samples shall be taken by diverting three minutes of screen wash flow into the sampling pool and partially draining the pool to concentrate the organisms for collection. The proposed location of the sampling pool is illustrated in Figure 1.

Appropriate statistical analyses shall be performed in order to determine the significance of any differences in the data escribable to date, time of day

( screen wash mode), water quality, atmospheric conditions and station cooling water flow and heat rejection.

2) Latent Mortality Studies -

96-hour latent mortality studies shall be conducted on the following organisms, assuming they occur in suf fIclent abundance:

Crangon septemspinosa Alosa aestivalls Brevoort,la,tr annus Anchoa mitchilli Menidia menidia Poma_tomus saltatrix Cynoscion regalis Lelostomus xanthurus Pseudopleuronectes americanus Sphoeroides maculatus Live and damaged organisms taken from the sampling pool shall be maintained for 96 hours0.00111 days 0.0267 hours 1.587302e-4 weeks 3.6528e-5 months under flow through conditions in ambient and heated condenser

' discharge water. Where feasible, non-impinged controls, maintained under otherwise identical conditions, shall be employed. Condition ( live, dead, damaged) shall'be determined at the outset of the holding period and subsequently at 30 minutes and 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 hours0.00111 days 0.0267 hours 1.587302e-4 weeks 3.6528e-5 months .

The number of latent mortality determinations made on each of the above organisms will be dependent upon their availability, however, an attempt will be made to conduct 50 tests on each species during the'2 year study period. The tests will be equally divided between the 2 screen wash modes (continuous and-I n term i t ten t) and will cover the size range connonly inipinjod and the seasons Juring which Impingement occurs.

A minimum of 5 organisms shall be utilized in each latent mortality determination, however, up to 20 individual s wil l be used depending upon size and avail ability. Loading in the test system will not exceed 5 grams per liter at temperatures of 20 C or less or 2.5 grams per liter at temperatures above 20 C. The holding f acility will be designed to minimize holding stress.

The lengths and weights of all test organisms shall be determined at death or

_4 -

1 1

at the end of the test. Water temperature, dissol ved oxygen, salinity and pH shall be monsured wl th each of the 9 condition determinations (soo Addendum I for instrumentation criteria). General observations on such things as erratic s w i mm i ng , loss of reflex, d i scoloration, changes in behav ior, excessive mucus production, hypar-ventilation, opaquo qyos, hemorrhaging and cannibalism should i

be reported.

When suf ficient data are available, the signi f icance of any dif f erences in I atent mortal ity due to screen wash mode, time of year, size of organism water ,

qual ity or other factors shal l be determined. Latent mortality on the modi f ied travelling screens shall be compared with that already determined for the conventional travel ling screens.

3) Collection Ef ficiency of the Travelling Screens -

in an attempt to quantif y the collection et ficiency of the traveiIing screens, known quantitles of marked dead fish shall be released in front of the travelling screens and the number recaptured by the screens shalI be determined.

Collection ef ficiency experiments will be conducted under both i nterm i ttent and continuous (day and night) screen wash conditions four times during the first year of study. Depending upon the results of these studies, additional experiments may be conducted during the second year of the monitoring program.

Each experiment will consist of tagging from 100-1,000 individuals using an appropriate group marking technique and releasing the known number of marked, dead organisms in front of the intake ports. The experimental organisms will be homogeneously distributed across the width of the intake structure just prior to a reg u l ar impingement sampling period. The species composition, total number and range of sizes of released organise.s will then be compared with the species composition, number and size of recaptures taken in subsequent Impingement samples. The actual number and typs of organisms to be used in these studies will depend upon availability, however, as wide a range of sizes and shapes as 4 possible will be included.

Entrainment of Organisms The objective of the entrainment program is to determine the abundance of impingeable and entrainable-sized organisms passing through the dilution pumps and the initial and latent mortality of important forms entrained in the

, condenser and dilution pump flows. The resulting mortality data, used in

conjunction with the abundance data collected since 1975, will then be used to l assess the impact of cooling system and dil Jtion pump entrainment.

Dilution Pump Entrainment - Abundance l

The ab undance of Impingeable and entrainable-sized organisms passing through l

the dilution pumps will be determined using the " flow proportion" technique described in Addendum 2. That analytical technique is based upon actual j abundance data collected at the intake and discharge of the dilution pump and condenser.

Mortality Studies a

initial and 96-hour latent mortality will be determined for the following entrainable-sized forms:

Callinectes sapidus zoeae and megalopae Anchoa mitchiili eggs atd larvae Pseudopleuronectes americanus l arv ae Samples be taken simultaneously in tt.e intake canal and the condenser or dilution pump discharge using a pump and larval table system or sone other sampling device for which sa mp l i ng enor tal i r / is de non s tr.ibl y lower than trajirional plankton aets. The design of the sampl ing dev ice shal l result in ininimization of the following f actors:

al velocities through the fiIter1og mesh b) turbu l ence c) sample retention time if pumps are to be used, pump type, size and operating flow should be specified. Given the fragility of the early life stages of A. mitchilli, a rear draw type larval table, which precludes mortality due to pump passage, may be the most appropriate sampling device. More than one sampling device may be used, it warranted by species specific differences in behav ior, density or susceptibility to sampling mortality.

The rationale for the choice of sampling gear should be presented in detail, including references to the results of previous studies wherever possible.

Sampling will be conducted during all months in which the form is present in suf ficient abundance, at the frequency outlined in Table 1. Condenser mortality studies will be conducted during the Initial year of the sampling program; a similar level of ef fort will be exerted during the second year. The species to be studied and the sampling location (condenser and/or dilution pumps), however ,

will be determined following a review of the previous year's data by USEPA, NJDEP and JCP&L biolog!sts.

A minimum of 50 organi!.ms from both the intake and the discharge stations will consti tute e, v al id sam a le. Sample duration should be as short as possible in order to minimize sampl i ng mortal ity. Temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen shall be measured with each sample (see Addendum 1) . Cooling water biocide measurements shall be made on condenser discharge samples utilizing the emperometric titratior method or its equivalent. Station cooling water f low and heat rejection data shalI be obtained for each sampiing perlod. If pumps are utilized, pump head, flow and rpm should be recorded. Sample duration should also be recorded.

Subsequent to collection, the samples shall be taken to the laboratory and held la intake and discharge flow-through water baths for sorting and initial condition d e term i na t i ons . Live and damaged larvae and live eggs shall be evef ully transferred to aerated containers maintained in the flow-through' water baths. Dead specimens shall be preserved for later identification. Live and stunned organisms shal l be examined at 3, 6,12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours0.00111 days 0.0267 hours 1.587302e-4 weeks 3.6528e-5 months af ter sample collection. Dead organisms shall be removed and preserved at each

1 examlation; all live organisms remaining af ter 96 hour0.00111 days 0.0267 hours 1.587302e-4 weeks 3.6528e-5 months s shalI be preserved.

Condition of larvae shall be based upon the following ca steria:

Live: swimming vigorously; no apparent orientation problems; behavloc apparently norm 3I .

Damaged: struggling or swimming on side; apparent orientation problems; behavior abnormal .

Daad: no vital life signs; no body or opercular movement; no response to gentle probing.

Condition of eggs shall be based upon the following criteria:

Lise: eggs clear and transparent Dead: eggs cloudy and opaque, or chorion ruptured.

The perceniv'e initial and latent mortality shall be determined for each form at each station; entrainment mortality shal l be estimated. The statistical sIgni f Icance of dIf ferences in mortality due to date, water quality and station cooling water flow, heat rejection or other factors shall be determined. The resulting i n f orm at i on , used in conjunction with the abundance data collected since 1975, shalI be used to' compute the Impact of cooling system and dIl u tion pump entrainment on Barnegat Bay populations.

The initial and latent mortality of Impingeable-sized organisms entrained in the dil ution pump flow will be determined from previous studies (Ichthyological Associates, Inc. 1977; 1978) of dilution pump passage. Where sufficient, previously collected data do not exist, initial and latent Impingenent mc/tality rates will be i as conservative estimates of dilution pump mortality.

ADDENDUM 2 ,

Methodology for Determining the Abundance of Impingeable- and Entrainable- Sized Organisms Passing Through the Dilution Pumps.

, The following is a description of the methodology used to establish a relationship between the abundance of organisms passing through the two major pumping systems at the Oyster Creek Station, the condensers and the dilution

pumps. For impingeable sized organisms, the analysis is based upon 210 hours0.00243 days 0.0583 hours 3.472222e-4 weeks 7.9905e-5 months of impingement and d il ution pump samp les which were simultaneously collected between September 1976 and August 1977. The preliminary analyses of these data are discussed below in detail. For entrainable-sized organisms, abundance

estimates from the condenser discharge will simply be multiplied by the

! appropriate f low f actor in order to estimate the abundance of organisms passing throttgh the dilution pumps.

Methods:

A 2

The number and weight of 10 important species was established by tabulating the discrete samples of Imp ingement and dilution pumps. These data were then normalized to a unit time period and the normalized dilution pump data was then

! adjusted for the differential flow (see Appendix 1). The resulting matrix (Table 1) forms tne basis for analysis of organism throughput which will be one graphically and statistically. , Correlatln analysis (Table 2) Indicates that eight of the ten species h ve a predictable relationship between the dilution

- and impingement throughput.

j- Discussion:

4 Organisms that are found in ths intake canal nave three pathways to leave i

the canal: swim out of the canal into Earnegat Bay; move onto the travel l ing screens and into the discharge canal; ' pass through the dilut.on pumps and into the discharge canal . Atlantic menhaden and bluefish are inconsistent in their i

passage through the impingement and d il ution _ pathways. The remaining eight i

species (-see Table 2) are con _sistent enough in their passage to use the

mpingement number as a predictor.

ConcIusion

Ten species of. fin and shellfish were collected from impingement and dilution pump samples for one year. Eight of these species have a consistent pattern of passage thro;gh these systems. Two species do noi . More statistical ana!ysis will be condr cted on all ten species to refine the procedures and produce a pr edictive ' scheme.

ATTACINENT 4 TEGINICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR Tile PROPOSED SUSPENSION OF OCETS PROGRANS 3.1.2. A(2) and 3.1.2.C

.lCPGL raquests to suspend for two years the environmental monitoring program elements required under Sections 3.1.2 A (2) and 3.1.2.C of the Oyster Creek linvironmental Technical Specifications (Omts). During this period, intensive initial and latent mortality studies of impinged and entrained organism, will be conducted in accordance with the recommendations of EPA and DEP and the effort in the area of species composition and abundance sampling will be concomitantly reduced. The environmental monitoring required by these sections of the OCETS will be resumed at the end of the two year period.

1) Outline of Proposed Changes-Section 3.1.2 Biotic - Aquatic A. General Ecological Survey

1) Commercial Landings of Fin and Shellfish This study will be continued without modification.

2) Finfish Species and Abundance Trends JCP6L requests that this section be suspended for the two year duration of the recommended EPA studies.

B. Impingement of Organismr This study will be continued as per the Technical Specifications. flowever, additional studies as recommended by EPA will be conducted to determine the 96 hr. latent mortality of 10 species of impinged organisms and the collection efficiency of the travelling screens. The latent mortality studies will .significantly increase the value of both past an'd future impingement data by allowing a more

> complete assessment of the impact of impin ement.

o These additional studies are described in detail in Specification EA 80-5 (Attachment 2).

C. Entrainment of Organisms JCPSL requests that these studies be cuspended for the two year duration of the proposed EPA studies.

During these two years, entrainment sampling effort will be directed tewards determining the initial and 96 hour0.00111 days 0.0267 hours 1.587302e-4 weeks 3.6528e-5 months latent mortality of important forms entrained in significant numbers. The modified entrainment studies are described in detail in Specification EA 80-5.

D. Fish Kill Monitoring Program This study will be continued without modification.

2) Technical Justification for the proposed revision:

Suspension of Section 3.1.2. A(2)

Section 3.1.2 Biotic-Aquatic A. General Ecological Survey (2) Finfish Species and Abundance Trends The objectives of these studies as described in the existf rg specification are "...to monitor species presence and abundance of finfish to y

compare the resultant data with existing operating and preoperational data, and contemporaneous impingement and entrainment data." The basis for conducting these studies is as follows:

"The Final Environmental Statement of the OCNGS indicated the potential for significant ,

aquatic environmental impact associated with the operation of OCNGS because of impingement and entrainment. Recent studies, however, indicated that significant aquatic impacts were not associated with _the operation of OCNGS (IA,1977 (a); IA, .1977 (b))

. i 3 This study ~i11 produce additional data during OCGNS operation. Since the sampling loc ' ions and methodology employed will be e same or similar to those used during prior investigations (Marcellus, 1972; IA 1976(a); IA 1976(b)), the data can be qualitatively assessed. This study will sample four stations which showed the most dissimilarity during the earlier period (Marcellus, 1972). Gross population changes will be detected by this data base.

It is anticipated that sufficient information will be developed to verify the findings of recent studies (IA,1977(a) and (b)) .

If this is the case, JCP&L shall then notify the NRC to modify or terminate this study."

The suspension of the finfish species and abundance sampling is justified for the following reasons:

1)

The results of nearly five years of sampling (Ichthyological Associates, Inc., 1977, 1978, 1979) have shown that the species composition and relative abundance of the fish community of Westctn Barnegat Bay have not changed significant?.y from that observed by Marcellus (1972) and McClain (1973) in preoperational s irveys. Variations in the abundance of some species have been observed, however, these variations have been well within the range of variability _ reported for estuarine fish i

l populations in other areas and have not been ascribable to the operation of the Oyster Creek Station.

2) The objective of these studies, as described above, is to monitor gross changes in species composition I

and abundance. Ecological studies associated with i

power plants have indicated that power station intakes are far more efficient ampling devices than any scientific fishing devices. In the case of Oyster Creek, this is clearly illustrated ir Table 1. During the September 1975 -

Augut e 1976 period, for example, 65 species were taken at 25 stations using 3 types of gear. A total of 90 species were taken on the traveling screens during the same period. From 1975 through 1978, the tra.' ling screens accounted for 39 to 57% more species than the seine, trawl and gill net sampling combined.

l Considering the above information, the proposed suspension of finfish species and abundance sampling will not adversely affect the continued assessment of power plant-induced fish losses.

Suspension of Section 3.1.2.C Section 3.1.2 Biotic-Aquatic C. Entrainment of Drgen!<ms The objectives of these studies as described in the existing specification are "...to determine the spacies enmposition and abundance of i

planktonic organisms entrained by the Oyster Creek Generating Station l

' and the survival rate of entrained key species of ichthyoplankton." The basis for conducting these studies is as follows:

"The Final Environmental Statement for the OCNGS identified entrainment of fish eggs and larvae and zooplankton as a potentially significant environmental impact. A recent report (IA,1977(b)), based upon one year of intensive entrainment sampling, Barnegat Bay population surveys and historical Bay.

finfish information indicates that entrainment mortality probably had no significant 1

t I impact on Bay populations. This monitoring program will provide additional entrainment data for comparison with the first two year's data and, when combined with the adult fin and shellfish sampling data from the Bay, should provide information to judge the impact of OCNGS operation."

The suspension of the species composition and abundance sampling under the modified plan of study is justified for the following reasons:

1) The results of nearly five years of entrainment sampling (Ichthyological Associates, Inc. 1977, 1978, 1979) have shown that the species composition and relative abundance of the Ichthyoplankton and Zooplankton communites have not been significantly altered due to the operation of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. Further-more, the ichthyoplankton specles to be considered in the modified plan of study (Anchoa mitchilli and Pseudopleuronectes americanus) account for approximately 85% of the entrained larvae and juveniles and approximately 90% of the entrained eggs (Ichthyological Associates, Inc.

1978). Since these species would be intensively sampled in the proposed studies, the abundance of the organisms comprisir; the vast majority of entrained ichthyoplankton would be monitored without interruption.

2) A major objective of these studies is to determine "... the survival rate of entrained key species of ichthyoplankton."

The entrainment mortality studies conducted to date have not accurately determined the percentage >f key species surviving entrainment. This has been largely due to limitations of the sampling methodology which make it difficult to capture eggs-and larvae of many fishes without killing them in the -

4 t

l.

sampling process. The proposed entrainment mortality studies will incorporate a completely new methodology which should solve the problem of sampling mortality and should allow accurate determinations of entrainment survival, even for the most delicate species. The results of these studies may then be applied to past, present, and future entrainment abundance data and used to assess the impact of cooling system and dilution pump entrainment.

The proposed entrainment mortality studies will therefore strengthen the current data base and make cooling system ,

impact assessment more accurate.

i i ATTACHMENT $

T he changes listed below are the minor changes referenced in the cover ictter of this change request. Each proposed change is explained and a proposed I ch nged page is included.

1. Page 2-1, Section 2.1.1, Specification, line 2.

Change requested: Insert the phrase "with all four circulating water pumps operable" af ter the word " operation".

New wording: " . . .shal l not exceed 12.8'C (23.0

F) during normal operation with all four circulating water pumps operable."

Basis: The objective of Specification 2.1.1 is to provide a maximum AT under " normal operation with all four circulating water pumps operable". This proposed change will accomplish this objective more clearly.

2. Page 2-4 Section 2.1.2, Objective, line 2.

Change requested: Add the word " intake" between the words " water" cod "cnd".

New wording: " ... maximum AT between the circulating water intake and discharge..."

Basis: The word " Intake" was inadvertently omitted from this sentence.

3. Page 2-6, Specification 2.1.2, Monitoring Requirements, Paragraph 1, l ine 5.

Change requested: Change "38.7'C" to "48.9 *C."

Basis: This change corrects a miscalculation in the conversion of' F to 'C.

4. Page 2-14, Specification 2.1.4, Monitoring Requirements, l ine 7 Change requested: Change "48.7"C" to "48.9"C".

Basis: This change corrects 5 miscalculation in the conversion of 'F .

to *C. ,

5. Page 2-16, Specification 2.1.5, Specification, line 4.

, Change requested: Insert the words "of f ull rated" between the words "705" and " power."

New wording: " ...upon reaching 70% of full rated power, whichever comes first."

Basis: There is confusion as to whether this specification means 70% of full rated power or 70% of the existing power level at the start of the shutdown procedure. The proposed change will define the specification more clearly.

e

6. Page 2r17, Speci fication 2.1.5, Monitoring Requirement, paragraph 1, line 2.

1 Change requested: Delete the words "every 15 minutes", and replace with the word " continuously".

New wording: ( from line 1) " . . . shall be monitored continuously by temperature sensors...

Basis: This monitoring requirement will now be consistent with that of the Fish Kill Monitoring Program (Section 3.1.2.0), P: 3-19.

I Page 2-17, Specification 2.1.5, Monitoring Requirement, paragraph 1,

7. Iines 1, 3 & 4; paragraph 2, lines 1 & 2.

Change requested: Replace the phrase "the discharge temperature" wi th the phrase "the discharge canal bridge temperature".

Basis: This change will avoid possible confusion. The term " discharge temperature", as defined on page 1-6 of the OCETS, is the temperature of water measured at the discharge outlet, prior to dilution. Clearly, this specification requires the monitoring of the discharge canal bridge temperature which is also def ined on page 1-6.

8. ooge 2-17, Spacifica+1on 2.1.5, Monitoring Requirement, paragraph 1, l ine 6.

Change requesied: Change "48.7 C;" to "48.9 C".

Basis: This change corrects a miscalculation in the conversion of "F d

to "C.

9. Page 2-17, Specification 2.1.5, Manitoring Requirement, paragraph 2, last line.

Change requested: Jelete the words "is shutdown" and repl ace wi th the phrase "has been in cold shutder- for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months ."

New wording: "...shal l be monitored once every hour until such time as the original sensors are returned to service or the Station has been i n cold shutdown for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months ."

Basis: This change will make this specification and the fish kill procedure monitoring requiements consistent.

10. Page 2-18, Speci f ication 2.1.5, Bases, paragraph 3, l ine 4.

Change requested: Change "9.5*C" to "8.5* C".

Basis: This change corrects an apparent typographical error.

11. Pages 3-26 tnrough 3-29, Specification 3.3 Change requested: Delete the entire specification. This includes deletion of this specification fran page il of the Table of Contents and Figure o

i, 3-4 on page iv.

Basis:

a. The meteorological moni hir ing program is dupt icat ive of that found in the Appendix A Technical Specifications

such duplication is unnecessary and produces a double reporting requirement ,

b. The Bases section of this specification (page 3-28) refers solely to radiation dosage calculations. The Appendix B Technical Specifications (OCETS) contain non-rad!ological environmental monitoring programs and, therefore, Specification 3.3 is not appropriate here and should best be included in the Appendix A Technical Specifications, which contain radiological monitoring programs.

Change requested: Change the number "I0" to "30".

New Wording: " ...and within & days by a written report..."

Basis: The written report must describe, analyze, and evaluate the violation, including the extent and magnitude of its impact. Some form of corrective action generally has to be taken, and an evaluation of how to prevent repetition of this event must also be made. Station procedures require that a report of this nature be reviewed by the Plant Operations Review Consnittee.

Ten days is an insufficient period of time to address this spec i f ication's requirement is an adequate and complete fashion. During any 10 day period, there will be only 6-8 working days due to weekends, and possibly

i f ewer due to ho'l idays.

Change requested. Add the word "and" between the word =

"21," and "p!!" on line 3; delete the coma "," after the word "2%" on line 3; delete the words "and tide" on line 4 New wording ... " dissolved oxyge n (accuracy of +2*.) and pil (accuracy of + .2 pli units) shall be measured. . .

Basis:

The goal of the O.C. woodborer project is to determine the species composition, distribution abundance, and amount of destruction of marine borers in Barnegat Bay. Tidal measurements would be important only to the investigation of woodborer larval dynamics which is not an objective of this study.

Dear Dr. Masnik:

As a result of the USEPA Region II. review of the Section 316 demonstrations for Jersey Central Power and Light's Oyster Creek and Forked River Nuclear Generating Stations, several additional studies have been suggested to supplement the existing data base. In accordance with those recommenda-tions (April 26, 1979 letter from H. Lunenfeld to I. R.

Finfrock, Jr.) JCP4L wishes to expand the environmental monitoring program to include intensive initial and latent mortality studies of impinged and entrained organisms and concomitantly reduce the effort in the area of species composition and abundance sampling. h e following is an outline of the proposed modifications.

I 3.1.2 Biotic-Aquatic l

A. General Ecological Survey ,

(2) Finfish Species and Abundance Trends:

JCPGL suggests that this section be deleted. Ecological studies associated with power plants have indicated that .

power station intakes are far more ef-ficient sampling devices than any com-mercial or scientific fishing devices.

H e ongoing impingement sampling program provides tl.e most complete picture of species conposition and abundance trends in Barnegat Bay. -

I' Dr. Michael Masnik November 7,1979 Page Two B. Impingement of Organisms JCP6L suggests the expansion of this program to include 48-hour latent mortality studies on the following organisms, assuming they occur in suf-ficient abundance:

Brevoortia tyrannus Anchoa mitchilli Morone saxatilis Pomstomus saltatrix Cynoscion regalis Menticirrhus saxatilis Paralichthys dentatus Pseudopleuronectes americanus Sphoeroides maculatus Crangon septeaspinosa These latent mortality studies will begin subse-quent to the complete installation of the Ristroph Screens.

C. Entrainment of Organisms JCP6L suggests that species composition and abund-ance sampling be terminated. Alternatively, the entrainment sampling effort should be directed towards determining the initial and latent mor-l tality of important forms entrained in significant numbers . The resulting mortality data, used in conjunction with the abundance data collected since !

1975 may then be used to assess the impact of cool-ing system entrainment.

JCP6L suggests that initial and 48 hour5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months delayed mortality studies be conducted on the following forms, utilizing larval tables in the intake and discharge canals:

SUBJECT:

TRIP REPORT - OYSTER CREEK ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM On November 14, 1979 I attended a meeting at USEPA Region II Headquarters to discuss proposed changes to the operational environmental monitoring programs for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Station as specified in our Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS). Representatives of Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L) their' consultants and the State of New Jersey Department of

Environmental Protection (NJDEP) were present.

The USEPA has requested that the utility perform some special studies at the Oyster Creek Station. These studies would allow for a more accurate interpre-tation of the existing data base. The studies proposed by USEPA require a significant increase in manpower and effort on the part of the utility's .

environmental monitoring staff and consultants. Since the financial resources of the utility. are severely strained due to TMI and the USEPA has minimal monitoring requirements at Oyster Creek, it was suggested by NJDEP and USEPA that the NRC temporarily suspend, for two years, certain monitoring programs l

now required by our ETS beginning sometime during the summer of 1980. Details of the proposed suspension of NRC programs and the initiation of the EPA /NJDEP 3

studies are presented in the November 7,1979 letter to me from T. Tipton (NCP&L).

I have reviewed the studies proposed by the NJDEP and the USEPA and agree

.that such studies should be conducted. The results of these studies would significantly improve our ability to accurately estimate the impact of plant I

operation on nearby fisheries. The far field fisheries sampling program and a portion of the entrainment studies are the two NRC improved monitocing programs that are being considered for temporary suspension. I presented the steps in which such a temporary suspension of monitoring might be accomplished. I stated that an amendment application would have to be submitted and then an appraisal would have to be written justifying the -

break in monitoring. The NJDEP and the USEPA clearly stated that they wanted only a temporary suspension, not a permanent termination of the monitoring p mgrams. The new programs that are proposed during the two-year period would not be included in the ETS. The represetatives from JCP&L and I agreed that further telephonic discussion would be necessary this spring to assure proper phasing of the appraisal for the ETS change.

Dear Mr. Finfrock:

Members of my staff have met on several occasions with your staff, i l New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the~ U.S. Nuclear j Regulatory Commission (NRC) to discuss the additional information and monitoring requirements for the Oyster Creek 316 demonstration. At the last meeting (November 14,.1979). we discussed with Dr. Michael Masnik of the NRC the possibility of temporarily suspending certain portions of the NRC Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS) until completion of the 316 monitoring requirements. The 316 monitoring program is projected to begin in the summer of 1980, and to take approximately two years to complete.

i

, The portions of the ETS program that your consultants suggested be

, temporarily deleted (by letter dated November 7,1979 to Dr. Masnik from

. Dr. Tipton) are (1) the "Finfish Species and Abundance Trends" and

{ (2) the entrainment species composition and abundance sampling. We agree with these deletions and feel that the information collected by the pro-

posed 316 monitoring program should greatly improve our ability to quantify the impact of the Oyster Creek facility on the aquatic population.

Should you have any further questions on this matter, please feel free to contact Dr. Harry L. Allen of my staff at (212) . 264-1463.'

Sincerely yours, i
