1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for pro-tection of environmental values during construction and operatiori of the nuclear facility.
The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:
(1) Verify that the plant is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the FES and other NRC environmental impact assessments.
(2) Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State and local requirements for environmental protection.
(3) Keep MRC informed of the environmental effects of fs-cility construction and operation and of actions taken to control those effects.
Environmental concerns identified ir. the FES which relate i
to water quality matters are regulated by way of the li-censee's SPDES permit.

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL for Unit 2 dated September 1972 and the FES-OL for Unit 3 dated February 1975, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with operation of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Plant.
Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment.
The Appendix B Environmental Technical Specifications issued with the licenses included monitoring programs shd bther requirements to protect water quality and aquatic biota during plant operation with once-through cooling.
As last amended on July 11, 1979, the Appendix B ETS included monitoring and other requirements to address the following non-radiological aquatic protec-tion issues:
(1)
Controlled release of thermal discharges (ETS Sections 2.1, 3.1, 2.2.2, 3.2.2, and 4.1.1.a).
(2)
Controlled release of non-radioactive chemical dis-charges (ETS Sections 2.3 and 3.3).
(3)
Controlled intake flow velocity to limit impingement of organisms on intake structures (ETS Sections 2.2.1 and 3.2.1.
2-1 Amendment No. 35
l l
t (4)
Monitoring of aquatic biota in the Hudson River to evaluate effects of once-through operation (ETS Section 4.1.2).
Aquatic issues are now addressed by the effluent limitations, monitoring requirements and other conditions in or annexed to the effective SPDES permit issued by the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York (DEC).
The NRC will therefore rely on the DEC for regulation of
~
matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.
2-2 Amendment No. 35
o 3.0 Consistency Requirements 3.1 Plant Design and Operation The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perform tests or experiments affecting the environment provided such changes, tests or experiments do not involve an unreviewed environmental question, and do not involve a change in the Environmental Protection Plan.*
Changes in plant de-sign or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the require-ments of this EPP..; AC,tivities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this section.
Before engaging in additional constrr: tion or operational activities which may affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity.
When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activities and obtain prior approval from the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
When such activity involves a change in the Env~ironmental Protection Plan, such activity and change to the Environmental Protection Plan may be i
- This provision does not relieve the licensee of the re-quirements of 10 CFR S 50.59.
3-1 Amendment No. 35
e implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in Section 5.3.
A proposed change, test or experiment shall be, deemed to in-volve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns (1) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the final environmental statement (FES) as modified by staff's testimony to "he Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, supplements to the FES, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions df the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51.5(b)(2); or (3) a matter not previously reviewed and evaluated in the docu-ments specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.
The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried l
out pursuant to this Subsection.
These records shall in-clude r. written evaluation which provides a basis for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does
~
not' involve a'n unreviewed environmental question nor con-l stitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to
~
meet the objectives s[ccified in Section 1.0.
The licensee shall include as part of his Annual Environmental Protection 3-2 Amendment No. 35
3 Plan Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretatio.ns, and evaluations of.such changes, tests and experiments.

Changes and additions to the NPDES Permit or the State cer-tification shall be reported to the NRC within 30 days fol-lowing the date the change is approved.
If a permit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is appealed and stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.
The NRC shall be notified of changes to the effective NPDES Permit proposed by the licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the same time it is submitted to the permitting agency.
The notification of a licensee-3-3 Amendment No. 35
initiated change shall (nclude a copy of the requested re-vision submitted to the permitting agency.
The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES permit at the same d 'ne the application is submitted to the permitting agency.
3.3 Changes Required for Compliance with Other Environ-mental Regulations Changes in plant design or operation and performance of tests or experiments whichtare-required to achieve compliance with other Federal, State, or local environmental regulations are not subject to the requirements of Section 3.1.

Milk Pathway Measurements (a)
If cow or goat milk samples coll.ected l
over a calendar quarter show average concentrations of 4.8 picocuries per liter or greater, and if said radio-activity is caused by operation of Unit No. 3, a plan shall be su6mitted within-30 days advising the Director of Office of Inspection and Enforcement of the proposed action to ensure the plant-related annual doses will be within the design objective of 15 mrem /yr to the thyroid of any individual.

When pasture grass is sampled rather than goat milk, if individual pasture grass samples show I-131 concentrations of 0.022 pieocuries per gram (wet I
