,l Objective

}

The purpose of the general aquatic ecological surveys is to investigate and 1

determine-the effects, if any, of the plant circulating water discharge on

' (1) certain physical'and chemical parameters indicative'of aquatic ecological cenditions in the vicinity of'the plant and (2) the planktonic, nektonic, and

' beathic communities in the vicinity of the plant.

Specifications, 3.1.2.'a(1)

Fish Surveys Fish trawls shall be made once each calendar month at stations KB, PS, and

' RP.

All fish collected will be separated according to: species, counted and measured to the nearest 1/2 centimeter of total length. If more than 100 of any species are present, an estimate of total numbers shall be made,and a random sample of'100 of that cpecies'shall be measured.

3.1.2.a(2)

Crab Studies Crab' pots will be. baited and fished during one' week of each month from May to November at stations KB, PS, and RP.

Each month sample means will be

. calculated 1 for. the number, size, and weight of males-and f emales,- separately.

3.1.2.a(3)

Oyster Tray Studies.

~

L Trays containing various size losses of oysters shall'be located:at-KB, RP,.

length and width of each oyster will be tabulated once each calendar quarter

-(March, June, September and December). Samples shall also be collected from the PS and KB trays for an analysis of copper concentration in the oyster meat.

Reporting Requirements

. Results of these studies will be reported in the Annual Environmental Operating Report as described in Specification 5.6.1.a.

J.

Basis 1L

'In.1968 a program of ecological surveys was begun to gather information i

regarding possible environmental effects of the Calvert. Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.

In. designing this program, sampling stations were selected so that areas influenced'and areas not influenced by plant activities were represented.

Over the years this program has been expanded and modified to reflect changing concerns and-the experience gained-in previous years. This program is still

= evolving in response to the above factors and to changing State and Federal regulatory requirements. The above specifications are considered to be the nucleus of these studies and are not expected to change. Data collected during'these. surveys;shall be evaluated innually and recommendations made to

modify'or continue the program of studies. The approximate location of sampling stations is shown in Figure.3.1.~2.a.-l.

3.1.2.b Impingement of Organisms 9bjective

]

The purpose of this specification is to estimate both the number of organisms I

impinged on the travelling screens and the condition of these organisms when they g

are returned to the Chesapeake Bay.

l-g Specification i

Impingement studies shall be conducted to determine both the number of organisms impinged on the travelling screens and the condition of these organisms when they are returned to the Chesapeake Bay.

The following general specifications shall appiy to any program which is conducted:

1.

Fish'and crabs collected during each sampling period shall be identified to the lowest positive taxonomic group, counted and measured to the nearest 1/2 centimeter.

2.

If numbers exceeding 100 of any species are caught, a random sample of only 100 of that species shall be measured.

3.

Total weight of each species caught during each sampling period shall be tabulated.

4.

A survival study to determine the condition of impinged fish shall be con-ducted'in such a manner as is necessary to determine the average survival of each'specieo whose impingement rates may be important with respect to the local fishery.

' Reporting Requirements Results of these studies shall be submitted in the Annual Environmental Operating Report. Whenever an obviously unusual event occurs with regard to either the number

/.

.of'a fish species or blue crabs being impinged or their survival, a Non-Routine

~ Report shall be made to the NRC.

Report levels shall not be < established for this i

study.

,CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 1 Amendment No. 49 CALVERT CLIFFS UNIT 2-3.1-4 Amendment No'. 33 j

1 B sis

.information on species, quantities, and survival of fish and crabs impinged on the travelling screens during the first year of operation at Calvert Clif fs Unit No. I was obtained during a sampling program specified in the Environmental Technical

- Specifications for Unit No. 1.

Using this information a different study program

~

was designed'for 1976. Since future results and changes in Federal and State r:gulatory requirements may necessitate changes in this program, the exact details i

cf the impingement studies have been submitted to the NRC as a separate document. This

-will enabic changes to be made in this program without changing the Environmental Tcchnical Specifications.

. R:sults of the first year of impingement sampling have shown that the numbers of fish being impinged and their survival at any time are highly variable and are cet only heavily species dependent, but also depend on the temperature and dissolved

- cxygen concentration of the water. 'Because of this, a reporting level which depends en the number of fish of each species impinged during any one sampling period would be relatively meaningless and may result in numerous non-routine reports which may not be indicative of " impending unacceptable environmental stress".

In order to develop a reporting level which is indicative of " impending unacceptable environmental' stress", the effect of impingment and subsequent survival of returned

~ fish on the ~ 1ocal fishery would have to be known. This would require a very complex ccological model.which is not available at the present time.

In fact,'the ultimate d: cision of whether an impact is unacceptable or not lies with the various State and Federal regulatory agencies.

For these reasons a reporting level will not be established for'this study.
