Dear Dr. Uhrig:
^
/h' I g[
The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No.5 0 to Facili Operating License No. DPR-67 for St. Lucie Unit No.1.
The amendmen consists of changes to the Technical Specifications in response to your applications dated October 27, 1980 and ffarch 12, 1981.
The amendment pertains to the Environmental Technical Specifications (Appendix B to the Facility Operating License). The amendment (1) deletes all water quality requirements, (2) allows termination and deletion of endangered sea turtle programs, (3) changes and deletes organization titles in the section on administrative controls, and (4) makes minor revisions to locations of sample collection sites for the radiological monitoring program. The amendment also divides Appendix B Technical Specifications into two parts: Part I-Radio-logical Environmental Technical Specifications, and Part II - Environ-mental Protection Plan (Non-radiological) Technical Specifications.
Your basis for the requested deletion of water quality limits and monitoring programs is that these aquatic requirements are now under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency as established by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board's ruling on December 27, 1978 (Yellow Creek). ALAB-515). The NRC has taken the position that water quality conditions in existing reactor operating licenses should be removed as a matter of law where the licensee holds, as you do, an effective National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
In place of such requirements, an Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) has been adopted in a standard format for all new plants, and existing plants on a case-by-case basis. The EPP is designed to keep the NRC aware of environmental effects of plant operation, while recognizing that the regulation of non-radiological aspects of aquatic matters lies with the appropriate NPDES pemitting agency.
We concur in the deletion of the aquatic requirements and will rely on the NPDES permit system which is administered by the U. S. Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) for regulation and protection of the aquatic environment. We have informed the EPA of our action and it hae unienA n,

m We have determined that the deletion of these water quality requiremeints is a ministerial action required as a matter of law and that therefore no environmental impact statement or environmental impact appraisal-and negative declaration need be prepared in connection with this action.
~~
The acceptability of the termination and deletion of the endangered sea turtle programs is addressed in the enclosed Environmental Impact Appraisal (EIA). Special Condition 6.1 of.your Appendix B Technical Specifications.
before this amendment, which required maintenance of a light screen, is u
now included as Section 4.2 of the EPP.
We have also reviewed your proposed changes to administr'ative controla, or,
ganizational titles and locations of sample collection sites for tne' radio-logical monitoring program and find them acceptable. as presented. We have detemined that these changes do not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level _and will not' result in any significant environmental impact. Having made this determination, ve have further concluded that these changes involve ar. action which is insignif-icant from the standpoint of environmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR g51.5(d)(4), that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the approval of these changes.
3 The implementation of the Environmental Protection P'an and.the division'of l
your Appendix B Technical Specifications into two parts, have been discussed l
with and agreed to by your staff.
~
i Since the amendment applies only to aquatic, terrestrial and radiological monitoring programs and administrative controls, it does not involve significant new safety information of a type not considered by a previous i
Ccmmission safety review of the facility.
It does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident, does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, and therefore does not involve a significant hazards consideration. We have also concluded that there is a reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public willsnot 1
be endangered by this action.
A copy of the Notice of Issuance and hegative Declaration is also enclosed.
