Subject:
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit No.1 & 2, Docket No. 50-317 & 50-318 Supplementary Information to Request for Amendment
Reference:
BG&E letter dated 4/8/82 from A. E. Lundvall, Jr. to R. A. Clark, Request for Amendment Gentlemen:
The referenced letter contains our request to amend the Calvert Cliffs Environmental Technical Specifications to delete those portions pertaining to water quality monitoring, which have been determined to be under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The purpose of this letter is to provide supplementary support information as requested by our NRC Project Manager and to emphasize the need for prompt NRC action on this request.
The current monitoring program is scheduled to conclude on June 1,1982. In order to preclude the need to arrange for a continuation of the program for the remainder of 1982, we request review and approval of the referenced request prior to May 14,1982. The estimated cost of extending the monitoring program through the end of 1982 is $575,000 with an expenditure of 19,000 man-hours.
(
To facilitate your review of the referenced request, we are enclosing a copy of /,
/
l our current NPDES Permit and a copy of the Yellow Creek decision, upon which our p 00 request is based. The precedent for our request was set in the Yellow Creek Nuclear 5
Plant proceeding in which water quality monitoring requirements, sought by the NRC Staff as an operating license condition, were deemed tn be under the exclusive ff jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency. We understand that NRC has 8
previously moved to eliminate the monitoring requirements in question from a number of other nuclear facilities. We have the names of the parent utilities for those plants and will be pleased to refer them to you if you so desire.

PDR t
Mr. Rotiert A. Cir_rk April 16,1982 e
e Section I.E. of the attached NPDES Permit documents the compliance of the Calvert Cliffs once-through c.ooling system design with applicable regulations. This compliance finding is based on a review of 7 years of preoperational data and 5 years of operational data and concludes that no further biological monitoring is required.
Therefore, Section 3.1, Non-Radiological Surveillance, should be eliminated from the Technical Specifications. Additionally,Section II.A of the NPDES Permit provides reporting requirements. Therefore, and beceuse the monitoring requirements covered by these reports should be eliminated from the Technical Specifications, Sections 5.6.1.a (Part A), Nonradiological Report, and 5.6.2.a, Nonroutine Environmental Operating Reports, shculd likewise be eliminated from the Technical Specifications.
Again, we wish to emphasize the need for your prompt action on this request, and we trust that the above information provides clear guidance as to the justification and precedence for the request. If, for any reason, you determine that you will not be able to grant this change by the requested date (5/14/82), we request that you alert our management immediately.
We have determined that this letter constitutes supplemental information to a previous request and, pursuant to 10 CFR 170, no additional fee is required.
Very truly yours, W

Special Conditions 8.
DEFINITIONS 1.
The " monthly average" effluent limitation by concentration means the arithmetic average of all the daily determinations of concentration made during any' thirty day period. When using a composite sample the monthly average concentration shall mean* the concentration of the composite sample. When grab samples are used the daily determination of concentration shall be the arithmetic average of all the individual samples collected during any 24-hour period.
2.
The " daily maximum" effluent limitation by concentration means the average concentration for a 24-hour period.
3.
" Composite Sample" means a combination of individual samples obtained at least at hourly intervals over a time period.
For flow proportional sampling, the volume of each indivi-dual sample is directly proportional to discharge flow rates.
For constant volume sampling, either the sampling frequency is proportional to tne flow rates over the time period used to produce the composite, or the values of the individual sample analyses are mathematically weighted in proportion to the flow rate at the time of sampling.
4 The " monthly avenage" temperature means the arithmetic average of temperature measurements made on an heurly basis, or the mean value plot of the record of a continuous auto-mated temperature recording instrument, either during any calendar month, or during the operating month if flows are of shorter duration.
5.
The " daily maximum" temperature means the highest arithmetic average of the temperatures observed for any two (2) con-secutive hours during a 24-hour day, or during the operating day if flows are of shorter duration.
6.
" Measured" flow means any method of liquid volume measure-ment the accuracy of which has been previously demonstrated in engineering practice, or for which a relationship to absolute volume has been obtained.

DEFINITIONS,
7.
" Estimated" flow means a calculated volume or discharge rate which is based on a technical evaluation of the sources contributing to the discharge including, but not limited to pump capabilities, water meters and batch discharges volumes.
8.
" Grab Sample" means an individual sample collected in less than 15 minutes.
9.
" Bypass" means the intentional diversion of wastes from any portion of a treatment facility.
10.
" Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is un-intentional and temporary non-compliance with technology-based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee.

D.
WASTEWATER OPERATOR CERTIFICATION Within six months from the date of issuance of this permit, the permittee's facility shall be operated by an industrial wastewater operator duly certified by the Maryland Board of Certification.
At no time during the effect of this permit shall the treatment facilities be operated for more than six months without a certified operator.
E.
THERMAL COMPLIANCE The Permittee has conducted studies in accordance with COMAR 08.05.04.13C(2) to determine. compliance with thermal discharge mixing zone criteria, to determine whether entrainment affects
& spawning or nursery area of consequence, and to estimate impingement losses.
The Plant was found to meet thermal mixing zone recpirments, not to affect spawning or nursery areas of consequence, and to have a modest impingement loss.
The present once-through cooling system is in compliance with COMAR 08.05.04.13 and continued use of the system will be permitted.
Therefore, alternate effluent limitations as put forth in Section 316(a) of the Clean Water Act are not necessary.
