INTRODUCTION A permit for the construction of Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit No. 1 (WCGS) was issued to Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KG&E) and Kansas City Power and Light Com-pany (KCPL) in 1977. As a condition to issuance of the per-mit (Item 3.f.(2)], the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established a requirement that KG&E/KCPL monitor the impinge-ment of fish during the lake-filling phase of' construction.
This report presents the results of a one-year impinge-ment study which fulfills the NRC requirement outlined in Section 6.1.3.2 of the Final Environmental Statement (FES),
NUREG-75/096. The objective of this study was to document species composition and abundance, size distribution and seasonality of fish impinged at the WCGS Makeup Water Screenhouse (MUSH) located in the tailwaters of John Redmond Reservoir (JRR).
The MUSH is situated on the east side of the Neosho River downstream of JRR dam. The MUSH houses three pumps, each with a maximum capacity of apprcximately 38,000 gallons per minute (gpm). Trash bar grills and 0.375 inch mesh ver-tical traveling screens are placed in front of each pump.
l The screen wash system is activated manually, by a timer or automatically from a high differential pressure switch. In-take velocites at the MUSH are quite low with calculated l
t
_- . ___ __m._m._____a__.. . _ _ .
2 velocities at the traveling screens ranging from 0.19 to 0.57 feet per second (fps) at 1007.5 MSL.
An intake channel supplies makeup water to the screen house during normal flow conditions. During low flow con-ditions, the channel deadends at the MUS H . However, when moderate to high flow exists, the channel is contiguous with the river. A more detailed description of the JRR discharge system and the MUSH can be found in the WCGS Environmental Report - Operating License Stage (ER/OLS), Section 3.4.3.1.

METHODS The study was initiated in November 1980 and continued through October 1981. Sampling frequency followed the schedule specified by the NRC in the FES and was as follows:
two 12-hour screen counts twice weekly from April to July and twice monthly from August to March; one screen count for e
the period beginning at 0800 and ending at 2000; the other for the period beginning at 2000 and ending at 0800 the following day. Traveling screens were washed starting about 30 minutes before the beginning and end of a sample period.
All debris and fish washed from the screen were collected in an aluminum basket or nylon bag net. The mesh size of both collection devices was 0.375 inch.
A program was written to permit the random choice of sampling dates within intervals specified by the NRC. A Hewle tt-Packa rd Model 41-C calculator was programmed and
! sampling dates recorded as they were produced. The random-i ized schedule of sampling dates is given in Table 1. The I schedule of dates produced was utilized as a rigid schedule throughout the study. Impingement was monitored on any scheduled day when makeup pumps were operating. If MUSH l
pumps were not in operation on a scheduled sampling date, that sampling effort was dropped from the study. In August, one exception to this system occurred due to erratic pumping.
In this case, a single additional sampling date was incor-l porated into the study to replace the missed dates.

5 Fish collected during a 12-hour period were enumerated by species, making a full count of those species represented by 30 individuals or less. If the total number of a given species (N) was over 30 but less than 100, 50 percent of the group or a minimum of 30 individuals were processed. If N was greater than 100, 30 fish plus one percent of N-100 were processed. -
This system was used during the initial portion of the study, however, an alternative method was utilized when it became apparent that this method required the handling of excessive numbers of fish. Ef fective February 1, 1981, the system for enumeration of collected fish was changed to require full enumeration of those species represented by 25 individuals or less. If the actual or calculated total number of a given species (N) was greater than 25, an addi-tional cne percent of the total (N) were processed, up to a maximum of 40 fish.
! Throughout the study, when species were present in num-bers greater than 100 individuals, the number and weight of the individuals of that species in the representative sub-sample was recorded. These values were then compared with the total weight of all the individuals of that species in I
the sample to permit extrapolation of the total number.
Extremely high impingement rates were encountered on l
February 1, 1981, and forced the reduction of the 12-hour I collection period to four 10-minute subsamples within each 12-hour period. Times for these subsamples were selected l
6 using the Random Number Generating Program. A separate run of the program was made for each of the sampling periods (Table 2). The 10-minute subsamples were taken at the be-ginning of each scheduled hour. Even with the time reduc-tion, limited resources made it impossible to completely sort each subsample. Only a representative portion of each 10-minute subsample was sorted. Results of these sortings were then used to estimate the total number for each respec-tive subsample.
All fish enumerated were characterized by length, weight, size and maturity on a field data sheet (Figure 1).
In addition, the following physical conditions were also recorded at the end of each sample period: water tempera-ture, air temperature, cloud cover, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, sample date, start and finish times.
WCGS Operations personnel provided daily flow rate informa-tion for the duration of the study period.
Data accumulated during the study were compiled into a l program developed on a Sperry Univac Series 1100 Computer l
l System. These results were then extrapolated to estimate various paramete rs of total impingement using equations modified from appropriate portions of EPRI EA-1402 (1980).
Additionally, KG&E Environmental Assessment personnel per-formed calculations of diversity (Lloyd et al, 1968).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Monitoring Schedule Impingement at the MUSH was monitored when makeup pumping to WCCL was occurring according to the schedule in Table 1. However, shut-downs of MUSH pnmping occurred perodically and sampling was not performed during these pe riods . Intermittent pumping resulted in deletion of a single monitoring date in both January and February. Pump-ing was stopped to permit modification / maintenance of the pump control system for a prolonged period in early spring from April 1 to May 21. This resulted in a total of 15 sampling dates being dropped from the study. Additionally, in August intermittent pumping caused both scheduled dates to be missed. In this case, a single sampling date was added to the study on a non-random basis. This wss done to provide data for a month when significant pumping occurred that otherwise would not have been included in the study.
Impingement was monitored at the MUSH on a total of 33 dates. A list of actual dates sampled for the study appears in Table 3.
General A total of 19 species representing 15 genera and eight f amili es were collected during this study (Table 4). The calculated estimate of the total impingment for the study

38 January, February, and September were not available since sampling occurred on only one date in each of these months.
Impingement was not consistently higher during either diur-nal or nocturnal periods throughout the study. Diversity values were highest during the mid-summer months, peaking in July at 2.83 while the lowest value, 0.01, occurred in January (Table 7). A discussion of various parameters as they relate to the taxa collected plus the mechanisms affecting impingement follows for each family occurring in the study.
Clupeidae This family was represented by only the gizzard shad, which comprised over 99.5% of the total impingement during the study. Length-frequency data indicated that over 90% of gizzard shad processed during the study were less than 125 mm total length (TL). The data would therefore indicate that these fish fall within the average first year growth for mid-western gizzard shad (Purkett, 1958). The rate of impingement indicates that the largest numbers of young-of-the-year (YOY) gizzard shad were impinged during the winter (Table 8).
i Impingement of gizzard shad increased from December through February, peaking at over 63,000 fish per million gallons. On several occasions during this period, substan-i tial numbers of YOY gizzard shad were observed being swept ,

39 flow channel. These fish were unable to maintain their orientation in the current and appeared to be in a stressed condition.
When monitoring resumed in May, the rate of gizzard shad impingement had dropped to its lowest rate observed during the study. Although gizzard shad continued to be impinged throughout the remainder of the study, their rates were similar to other species.
Cyprinidae During the study, several members of this family were impinged including common carp, goldfish, red shiner, ghost shiner, golden shiner, Notropis sp. and Pimephales sp. As a Camily, cyprinid taxa comprised a minor portion of the total impingement.
Only two members of this family, Notropis sp. and golden shiner, were impinged at a rate exceeding 0.015 fish per million gallons (Tables 9 - 15). Notropis sp. and golden shiner impingement both peaked in March at 0.024 and 0.016 fish per million gallons, respectively. Common carp l
were never a large component of sampled daily impingement.
i l They occurred in June, July and October, peaking in October at a rate of 0.013 fish per million gallons.
Catostomidae Two species of this family, river carpsucker and small-l mouth buffalo, were collected during the study (Tables 16 -
l l
l
l 40 17). River carpsucker were not a major component of total impingement but smallmouth buffalo were the sixth most com-mon taxa impinged during the study (Table 5). Despite the number six ranking, total smallmouth buffalo impingement was calculated to be only slightly over 2,000 fish for the entire study period.
Ictaluridae Channel catfish, blue catfish and flathead catfish represented this family during the study. Channel catfish' occurred consistently throughout the study. This species ranked fifth in total impingement with a calculated estimate of 5,429 fish (Table 5). Throughout the study the majority of channel catfish impinged were less than 150 mm TL al-though individuals up to 465 mm were collected in March (Table 18). Monthly mean lengths of impinged channel cat-fish never exceeded 162 mm throughout the study.
Only one blue catfish was processed during collections at the MUSH. This individual was 135 mm in length and was collected in May (Table 19). The collection of this indi-vidual coincided with the harvesting of a Kansas Fish and Game Commission (KF&G) rearing pond which contained blue catfish and drained into the Neosho River. This individual was within the size range of fish harvested from this pond and probably escaped during draining operations.
Flathead catfish occurred during the summer months but were never numerous (Table 20). October was the peak month
41 for impingement of this species with a calculated total of 60 individuals.
Percichthyidae Only one member of this family, white bass, occurred during the study. Although this species was the second most commonly impinged taxa, it comprised less than 0.25% of total impingement (Table 5). Throughout the study white bass impingement was confined to early age groups with the monthly average length never exceeding 210 mm TL (Table 21).
Over 98% of total white bass impingement occurred in February and during that month their mean length was approx-imately 102 mm.
Centrarchidae The six taxa of this family which occurred during the study were bluegill, orangespotted sunfish, longear sun-fish, green sunfish, Lepomia sp. and white crappie. Of these taxa, only white crappie ranked in the top six in terms of total impingement, ranking number four (Table 5).
Mature white crappie in ripe condition were impinged during March but comprised only 5% of all crappie processed for that month (Appendix II). Other members of the sunfish family were observed in spawning condition. Bluegill, orangespotted sunfish, longear sunfish and green sunfish were impinged in ripe and running ripe condition. These spawning individuals coeprised significant portions of
42 impingement for their respective species. However, none of these species ranked high in terms of total impingement.
Percidae Impingement of this family was limited to one species, the walleye. Only one individual was collected during sampling and the total annual walleye impingement was cal-culated to be three fish (Table 28).
Sciaenidae The only member of this family impinged was the fresh-water drum. Although freshwater drum ranked third in impingement, they comprised slightly less than 0.25% of the total catch (Tabla 5). This species was impinged throughout the study with peak numbers occurring in February. The monthly mean length ranged from 65 to 129 mm (TL) and monthly mean weights never exceeded 37 grams (Table 29).
Additionally, over 98% of all drum which could be sexed were classificd as immature (Appendix II).
SUMMARY
Data collected during monitoring at the MUSH reveals a pattern typical of impingement at many other facilities (Edwards et al, 1976: Freeman and Sharma, 1977). This pattern shows impingement dominated by the major clupeid species present, peaking during winter months and composed of young-of-the-year (YOY) fish, with sportfish occurring at low rates.
Throughout the study gizzard shad were the dominant component of impinged fish, comprising over 99% of the calculated total. Field observations plus impingement study data supports a hypothesis that during peak impingement, shad were being discharged from JRR in a stressed condition and were unabl'e to avoid tha low intake velocities present at the MUSH.
Gizzard shad, along with white bass and freshwater drum, comprised more than 99.9% of total impingement. Peak impingement for all three of these taxa occurred during January and February and was predominantly YOY fish.
Neither blue sucker ( Cycleptus elongatus) or Neosho madtom ( Noturus placidus) individuals were impinged during the study. No impingement of Neosho madtoms was expected since this species has not been collected during prolonged monitoring in the area of the MUSH. Additionally, no other rare, threatened or endangered species were impinged at the MUSH.
44 The data compiled and circumstances observed during the monitoring period indicate that a worst case situation has been monitored. Low rainfall resulted in discharge rates from JRR which were low enough to consistently isolate the intake channel from the Neosho River throughout late 1980 and early 1981. Additionally, lake filling activities necessitated maximum pumping efforts throughout the study.
These factors combined to cause the high impingement ob-served during the winter months.
Normal rainfall patterns will typically provide more favorable flow conditions and completion of lakefill will substantially reduce demands for makeup water. The combin-ation of these circumstances will ameliorate the contri-butory factors of the observed impingement thereby moderat-ing long-term impingement at the MUSH.
