2.0 Environmental Protection issues
.In the TES-OL dated August 1982, the staff considered the environmental impacts !
associated with the operation of the two-unit Perry Nuc' ear Power Plant. i Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license l conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection {
of the environment.
2.1 Aquatic Issues l
-(1) No specific nonradiological aquatic impact issues were identified by :
NRC staff in the FES-OL. l (2) The presence of Asiatic clams (Corbicula sp) in western take Erie renders ;
their eventual presence near Perry as likely. Should the presence of :
Corbicula in the vicinity of Perry threaten the operation of a safety l' system, due to biofouling, measures to control Corbicula will be undertaken
~
(FES Section 4.3.6.2). l l
Section 9.2.1 of the SER (May 1982) recognizes the potential safety-related j problem of biofouling by Corbicula, and cites the licensee's monitoring program that consists of: (a) sampling of the lake for the presence of l Corbicula, both at Perry and at one of the licensee's nearby fossil-fueled l powerplants;(b)maintenanceinspections;and(c)surveillancetesting.
This EPP addresses the lake sampling in (a) above. ;
2.2 Terrestrial Issues [
(1) Cooling tower drift was not expected to cause adverse effects but the ,
need for operational data to confirm this conclusion was identified by !
the staff. (FESSection5.5.1.5) ;
l (2) Herbicide use should conform with current Federal and State regulation.

Changes in station design or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the require-ments of this EPP. Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this Section.
Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity. Activities are excluded f rom this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environmental effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction. When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed cnvironmental question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activity and obtain prior NRC approval. When such activity involves a change in the EPP, such activity and change t,o the EPP may be implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in Section 5.3 of this EPP.
A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns: (1) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level; or (3) a matter, not previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.
The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the deter-mination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question or constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to meet the objectives specified in Section 1.0. The licensee shall include as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests and experiments.
- This provision does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

Photography shall be done by aerial overflight during August or September. Monitoring shall include a program of low alti-tude color infrared photography. The scale for full coverage shall be adequate to enable identification of vegetative damage over relatively small areas of terrain. Some circumstances may warrant inspection of photographs discerning individual trees. Such scale should be adequate to resolve impacted features.
Photographs shall be compared with baseline to ascertain changes in vegetation.
Photographic interpretations shall be verified by ground inspection surveys to confirm areas of stress and non-stress. This program shall require aerial photographic monitoring during the first August-September period after the station has been in operation for one year and the program shall be repeated once the following year and alternate years for three (3) additional periods.
A report shall be submitted as part of the annual report following each aerial photographic monitoring period. The report shall contain a description of the program, results, and interpretative analyses of environmental impacts. Results reported shall contain information encompassing but not limited to the following:
sampling date; time of day; film types; and one (1) set of resultant color transparencies encompassing an area within approximately a one kilometer (1 km) radius of the Unit I and 2 towers.
4.2.2.2 Herbicide Use If herbicides are used, their use shall conform to the U.S. EPA regulations printed on the labels. Records of which herbicide was used, date of appli-cation, where herbicide was applied and quantity applied shall be made available for a five year period for inspection by NRC.

(2) Appliconts, and each of it.em, shall of f er interconnections upon reasonable tenns and conditions at the request of any other electric entity (ies) in the Combined CAPC0 Company Territories (CCCT), such interconnection to be available (with due regard for any necessary and applicable safety procedures) for operation in a closed-switch synchronous operating mode if requested by the interconnecting entity (ies). Ownership of trans- ;
mission lines and sv' 'hing stations associated with such interconnection shall remain in tl of the party funding the interconnection subject, i however, to any nect safety procedures relating to disconnection facilities at the point of power delivery. Such limitations on ownership l shall be the least necessary to achieve reasonable safety practices and !
shall not serve to deprive purchasing entities of a means to effect j additional power supply options.
(3) Applicants shall engage in whee 'or and at the request of other entities in the CCCT: :
(a) of electric energy from delivery points of Applicants to the i entity (ies);and, J (b) of power generated by or available to the other entity, as a .
result of its ownership or entitlements* in generating l facilities, to delivery points of Applicants designated by ;
the other entity. f Such wheeling services shall bs available with respect to any unused i
capacity on the transmission lines of Applicants, the use of which will '
not jeopardize Applicants' system. In the event Applicants must reduce wheeling services to other entities due to lack of capacity, such reduction shall not be effected until reductions of at least 5 percent have been made in transmission capacity allocations to other Applicants in these proceedings and thereafter shall be made in proportion to ,
reductions ** imposed upon other Applicants to this proceeding.

entity pursuant to an exchange agreement.
- The objective of this requirement is to prevent the pre-emption of unused capacity on the lines of one Applicant by other Applicants or by entities the l transmitting Applicant deems noncompetitive. Competitive entities are to be !
allowed the opportunity to develop bulk power services options even if this i results in re-allocation of CAPCO (Central Area Power Coordination Group) transmission channels. This relief is required in order to avoid prolongation of the effects of Applicants' illegally sustained dominance. ,

By " disclosed" is meant the giving of reasonable advance notification of future require-nents by entities utilizing wheeling services to be made available by Applicants.
(4) (a) Applicants shall make available membership in CAPC0 to any entity in the CCCT with a system capability of 10 Mw or greater; (b) A group of entities with an aggregate system capability of 10 Mw ,

- The selection of the 12-year period reflects our determination that an ,
adjustment period is necessary since the P/N formula has a recognized effect ;
of discriminating against small systems and forcing them to forego economies '
of scale in generation in order to avoid carrying excessive levels of reserves. 1 We also found the P/N is not entirely irrational as a method of reserve allo- !
cation. We have observed that Applicants themselves provided adjustnent periods and waivers to integrate certain Applicants into the CAPC0 reserve requirement program.

While we grant new member entities the opportunity to participate in CAPC0 it is not our intent to relieve joining entities of responsibilities and obligations necessary to the successful operation of the pool. For those smaller entities which do not wish to assume the broad range of obligations associated with CAPC0 member-ship we have provided for access to bulk power service options which will further their ability to survive and offer competition in the CCCT.

l next 25 years. Such access, at the option of the requesting :
l entity, shall be on an ownership share, or unit participation or contractual pre-purchase of power basis.* Each requesting entity (or collective group of entities) may obtain up to 107 of the capacity of the Davis-Besse and perry Units and 20% of future units (subject to the 25-year limitation) except that once any entity or entities have contracted for allocations totaling 10% or 20%, respectively, no further participation in any given units need be offered.
(b) Conmitrents for the Davis-Besse and Perry Units umst be made by requesting entities within two years after this decision becomes final. Commitments for future units must be made within two years af ter a construction permit application is filed with respect to such a unit (subject to the 25-year limitation) or within two years after the receipt by a requesting entity of detailed written notice of Applicants' plans to construct the unit, whichever is earlier; provided, however, that the time for making the commitment shall not expire until at least three months after the filing of the application for a construction permit. Where an Applicant seeks to operate a nuclear plant with respect to which it did not have an interest at the time of filing the application for the construction permit, the time periods for connitments shall be the same except that reference should be to the operating license, not the construction permit.
I (10) Applicants shall sell wholesale power to any requesting entity in the !
CCCT, in amounts needed to meet all or part of such entity's requirements.
The choice as to whether the agreement should cover all or part of the '
entity's requirements should be made by the entity, not the Applicant or Applicants.
s
- Requesting entities' election as to the type of access may be affected by provisions of State law relating to dual ownership of generation facilities by municipalities and investor-owned utilities. Such laws may change during the ,
period of applicability of these conditions. Accordingly, we allow requesting entities to be guided by relevant legal and financial considerations (including Commission regulations on nuclear power plant ownership) in fashioning their requests.

PY-CEI/NRR-1794L Page 2 of 3 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Proposed Action This proposed action involves the Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP), Unit Number 1, Operating License NPF-58. A license amendment is proposed that would change the operating license to reflect the proposed merger of the Toledo Edison (TE) Company into the Cleveland Electric Illuminating (CEI)
Company. Both companies are presently wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Centerior Energy Corporation. P The company formed from the merger is intended to be renamed; however, the name is yet to be determined. The following discussion utilizes the nomenclature "NEVC0" as a temporary substitute for the name of the combined operating company.
The proposed amendment vould revise the license to replace CEI and TE with NEVC0 as a licensee, to designate NEVC0 as an ovner of the PNPP, and to make other associated administrative changes to the license. These changes are described in detail in the license amendment application. CSC will remain a licensee and is not affected by these proposed changes.
Need for the Proposed Action ,
The proposed changes to the license are required in order to reflect the ,
effect of the merger of TE into CEI, once this merger is consummated. The reason for the merger is to maximize the operating efficiencies for these two affiliated companies.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The technical qualifications of NEVC0 to fulfill its responsibilities under !
the proposed amended Operating License are consistent with the present technical qualifications of CEI because the proposed merger vill involve no !
change in personnel responsibilities. When the necessary regulatory ;
approvals are obtained and the merger is consummated, the present PNPP nuclear organization vill be transferred intact from CEI to NEVCO. The ;
nuclear organization vill continue to report to CSC. All key personnel at l e
PNPP vould remain the same under the change.
i When the merger is consummated, NEVC0 and CSC will continue to operate, manage, and maintain PNPP in accordance with the conditions and i requirements established by the NRC, with the same regard for public and !
personal safety heretofore exemplified by CEI and CSC. The existing and l continued organizational structure provides clear lines of authority and responsibility while ensuring that essential nuclear support functions provided by NEVC0 and CSC are dedicated to PNPP. ,
The effectiveness of the organization vill not be degraded by the merger. l Plant-specific needs vill continue to be addressed. Existing priorities and ongoing plant improvement projects vill be maintained.
l l
~
l
. 1 o Attachment 3 PY-CEI/NRR-1794L Page 3 of 3 In summary, the technical qualifications vill remain equivalent to those currently existing.
The merger vill not affect the corporate financial resources currently l available in support of PNPP operations.
As discussed in the license amendment application, the proposed changes have been reviewed pursuant to the standards provided in 10 CFR 50.92(c),
and has determined that the proposed changes do not involve a significant :
hazards consideration. l The proposed changes do not involve an increase in the amounts, or a change in the types, of any radiological effluents that may be allowed to be released offsite. Furthermore, there is no increase in the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
With regard to potential non-radiological impacts, the proposed changes involve no increase in the amounts or change in types of any non-radiological effluents that may be released offsite, and have no other environmental impact.
Based on the above, it is concluded that there are no significant radiological or non-radiological environmental impacts associated with the >
proposed amendment.
Alternative to the Proposed Actions Since it has been concluded that the proposed action vill result in no significant environmental effects, any alternatives vill have only similar or greater environmental impact. The principal alternative would be to deny the requested amendment. This vould not reduce the environmental impact attributable to the facility.
