1 s Executive Summary / This progress report presents data for field and laboratory work during the period May 21 to August 20,1982. All field work during this quarter was carried out by GPU personnel. Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH were measured and recorded at each of the 20 stations during the three periods of exposure panel exchange. Laboratory analysis of the exposure panels showed the panels removed in June, 1982 to be free of shipworms as in the past six years. The incidence of shipworms in the long-term exposure panels removed in July and August,1982 was very light. Limnoria were present at Stations 1-4A as in previous years. One Limnoria tunnel was also found in the long-term exposure panel removed in August,1982 from Station 11, at the mouth of Forked River. This is the first time since the initiation of this program that any Limnoria have been found in the exposure panels from this location. No unusual deviations in the pattern of gonad development in the various species of chipworms were evident in specimens removed from panels in May, June and July.
L 2 PROGRESS REPORT ( FOR THE TWENTY-NINTH QUARTER on STUDY OF WOODBORER POPULATIONS IN RELATION TO THE OYSTER CREEK GENERATING STATION to GPU NUCLEAR CORPORATION August 31,1982 by R.E. Hillman and C.I. Belmore REPORT NO.15153 May 21 to August 20,1982 from BATTELLE I New England Marine Research Laboratory Duxbury, Massachusetts 02332 I INTRODUCTION I Battelle's New England Marine Research Laboratory is conducting an investignion to determine whether the generating station is affecting the resident marine borer population in Oyst :r Creek to the extent that that population is contributing significantly to marine borer-caused damage in Barnegat Bay. A description of the program and procedures used may be found in the Sixth Annual Report titled, " Study of Woodborer Populations in Relation to the Oyster Creek Generating Station", dated March 15, 1932. This report presents data for the twenty-ninth q iarterly period from May 21, 1932 to August 20,1982.
3 PROCEDURES AND INTERIM DATA Exposure Panels The long-term and short-term exposure panels were retrieved and replaced with new untreated pre-soaked (for two weeks) panels at the 20 exposure sites in Barnegat Bay and adjacent waters (Figure 1) during the periods June 1-2, July 6-7, and August 3-4, 1932. Long-term and short-term panels at all stations were retrieved and replaced by personnel from GPU's Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The exposure panel rack suspended at the Municipal Dock, Seaside Heights was found to be missing at the time of the June,1982 field trip. GPU personnel determined a nearby pier would be mere suitable for the rack and less vulnerable to vandalism. A new exposure panel rack was instal!cd at Bayside Boats, State Highway #35 and Bay Boulevard, Seaside Heights, New Jersey on June 2,1982. This station is designated 16B. Table 1 describes the geographical locations of the exposure sites. The data for the laboratory examination of the panels are presented in Tables 2 through 5. Water Quality Salinity, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH were taken st each site by the GPU field team. The results for June, July and August, 1982 are presented in Tables 6 through S. Teredinid Gonadal Development Studies Table 9 shows the gonad condition of the teredinid borers collected in May, June, and July,1932. Included are results from panels exposed for periods ranging from 6 to 12 months.
