Dear Mr. Counsil:

SUBJECT:
DELETION OF FISH IMPINGEMENT MONITORING REQUI EMENTS -
R HADDAM NECK PLANT The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 56 to Facility 1
Operating License No. DPR-61 for the Haddam Neck Plant. This amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications which are in partial
{
response to your applications dated July 23, 1982 and February 15, 1983.
The remaining portions of your applications will be handled by a separate action.
This amendment deletes requirenents for monitoring of fish impingement on i
intake screens from the Appendix B Environmental Technical Specifications l
(ETS). No changes in plant operation will occur as a result of this amendment. This amendment has no impact on water quality or aquatic life.
Any fish monitoring requirements will be in accordance with the plant's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. We have detemined that these monitoring requirements are water quality related, as required by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendment of 1972.
Other water quality related requirements were deleted by Amendment No. 54 l
on March 11,1983.
f We have, also, corrected Section 2.3 of Appendix 8 to delete pages 2.3.2 3
I and 2.3.3 as we intended to do in Amendment No. 54 of March 11, 1983. In p un N/
addition, corrections have been made on pages 5.1-1 and 5.5-1 as indicated gg in the Technical Specification page change instructions.
gun.
8g Your basis for the requested deletion of water quality limits and monitoring 2
programs is that these aquatic requirements are now under the jurisdiction
'O of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as established by the
@g Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendment of 1972 Therefore, water gg quality conditions in existing reactor operating licenses should be removed o.o as a matter of law where the licensee holds, as you do, an effective
$4 NPDES pemit. We concur in the deletion of the aquatic requirements and j
gg will rely on the NPDES permit system which is administered by EPA for 1

Mr. W. G. Counsil May 2,1983 We have detemined that the deletion of fish impingement monitoring requirements is a ministerial action required as a matter of law and will not result in any significant environmental impact. Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendment involves an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and pursuant to 10 CFR 251.5(d)(4) that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environ ental impact appraisal m
need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
Since the amendment applies only to fish impingement monitoring requirements, we have concluded that:
(1) because the amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, does not create the possibility of an accident of a type different from any evaluated previously, and 4
does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety, the amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
A copy of the Notice of Issuance is also enclosed.
Sincerely.
