Included in the FES is the assessment of the environmental impact of the Point Pleasant Water Diversion Project on the operation of LGS.
The LGS, Units 1 and 2, Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) states that LGS will be operated in an environmentally acceptable manner as establishec by the FES, and that water quality matters will be regulated-in accordance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.
i Section 3.2 of the LGS EPP stipulates that the NRC shall be notified of changes to the effective NPDES permit at the same time the proposed change is submitted to the permitting agency.
By letter dated February 19,

Philadelphia Electric Company (PECo) requested a change to NPDES permit PA-0052221 issued for the Point Pleasant Water Diversion Project.

Philadelphia Electric Ccmpany Thermal Variance Eequest for the Point Pleasant Diversion Project - 316(a) Demonstration Report
Reference:
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. PA-0052221
Dear Mr. Ulanoski:
Enclosed please find the report Thermal variance Recuest for the Point Pleasant Diversion NPDES Permit PA-0052221.
This report is a 316(a) demonstration undertaken in accordance with the Study Plan approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources.
We believe that this report conclusively demonstrates that temperature limits can be removed from NPDES Permit No. PA-005221.
We have demonstrated that deletion of temperature limits:
will not eliminate or impair existing use of the stream for successful reproduction or growth of the warmwater Representative Important Species; will not eliminate the existing trout stock fishery; will not exclude trout from unacceptably large portions of the trout fishing area during the period when the trout are stocked; and will not materially af fect the survival and harvest of trout in the stocked trout fishing area.
On the basis of this report, we request that NPDES Permit
