1.1 INTRODUCTION
i Attached algae data gathered during it /7 represented the ninth year of the program with seven operational years and two preoperational years of data. The periphyti..: flora of large rivers is found on or near the substrate of the river-bed, aquatic macrophytes, and various types of debris. Algal colls sloughed or abraded off their natural substrates are available for colonization onto glass microscope slides utilized in the monitoring program. This report it
- Stigates seasonal trends of the periphyton community in response to natural environmental factors and ths addition of thermal plant effluent.
The interaction of seasonal data', based on current velocities and temperatures, allows statistical analysis to indicate the presence or absence of significant environmental impact. Species composi-tion and cell biomass estimates, coupled with the statistical analysis, provide the basis for interpreting the periphyton community. 2.1.2 , MATERIALS AND MET!!ODS 2.1.2.1 Field Procedurou Five periphy'.on monitoring stations are located within the study area sFigure 2.1-1). Stations 2 and 7 represent ambient locations, vnereas Stations 3, 37., and 11 are affected by the thermal plume. Field sampling procedures remained consistent 2.1-3
Q n i with previous years. Nine glass microscope slides were j placed in a stainless steel and acrylic plastic sampler and allowed to colonize in the river for 14 days (Figure 2.1-2). Af ter the colonization period, one slide was removed from each rung, the side not facing the current scraped clean, and then placed in a bottle containing approximately 10 ml of I i magnesium carbonate saturated 90 percent aqueous acetone solution. The remaining slidns were placed in order in an j appropriately labeled slide box. All samples were placed in an ice chest and returned to the laboratory. 2.1.2.2 laboratory Procedures 2.1.2.2.1 Pigment Analyses Pigment analysis procedures for chlorophyll a remained consistent with previous yearst samples were scraped, macer-ated, diluted to a known volume (25-100 ml), and centrifuged for ten minutes. Pigment extract was decanted into a four-centimeter cuvette and analyzed at 665 nm and 750 nm before and after acidification using a Beckman Model DB-GT spectro-photometer. Chlorophyll a concentrations and Phaeophytin 3, the primary degradation product of calorophyll a,, were deter-mined by computer program utilizing the Lorenzen (1967) equations Chlorophyll a ug/cm = 26.7 E(665-750)" - (665-750)*3x V (18.0 cm / slide) (4 cm light path) Phaeophytin a ug/cm = 16. 7[1.7 (665-750)" -(665-750)"] x v. (18.0 cm / slide) (4 cm light path) 2.1-4
y 0 1 l 4 where u = unacidified a = acidified 665 = Chlorophyll a_ absorbance 750 = turbidity blank absorbance V = acetone & chlorophyll a_ extraction volume (ml) Results of above computer analysis are expressed as micro-grams of chlorophyll,a,and phaeophytin a per square centi-meter, and as percent chlorophyll a (chlorophyll a_ x 100/ chlorophyll a + phaeophytin a_). As in previous years, a three-way arr.lysto of variance on chlorophyll a data evaluated the significance of interaction between ambient Stations 2 and 7, and heated Stations 3 and 11 (Knutson 1976). Stations 2 and 11 woro paired as medium current velocity; and Stations 3 and 7 were paired as having fast current velocities. The F-test values consider tempera-ture (ambient versus heated), time, and habitat. 2.1.2.2.2 Taxonomic Identification and Enumeration Periphyton enumeration was carried out utilizing two methods, one method for non-diatom species and another method for analyzing diatoms. Non-diatom species were mounted using the setme'methnd employed by Knutson (1976). Diatoms were prepared by scraping the algal film from the slide into a 250 ml beaker and cleaned using nitric acid and potassium dichromate. Cleaned frustules were placed in a vial and diluted to ten milliliters with distilled water. This sample was then shaken, and a known aliquot pipetted onto a 2.1-5
e C 22 mm No. 1 cover glass. The cover glass was heated on a hotplate to evaporate all moisture and a permanent mount made using Hyrax. The finished slide was labeled and categorized until identification and enumeration analyses. Enumeration procedures were done using an American Optical Phase Star phase contrast microscope and 1000 x oil immersion. etendard taxonomic keys were used to identify algal species observed on 30 random fields or until 100 of the most dominant species were tallied. Raw data were then extrapolated to determine algal density (cells /squore entimeter). 2.1.3 RESULTS 2.1.3.1 Physical Parameters The 1977 sampling year ran from April 13 through November 10 with 15 sampling periods averaging 14 days each. Table 2.1-1 shows the sampling schedule, mean river water discharge, mesn ambient river water temperature, and plant off-line times. River _ water temperrture data were taken at each station on each sampling date. Temperatures ranged trom 7.0 C to 27.5 C at ambient stations, whereas heated stations had a temperature range from 8.0 C to 33.0 C. Extended' periods of plant off-line time resulted in heated station temperatures approaching ambient river water temperatures. Current velocity measurements were taken at each station on all dates, with the exception of periods of instrument mal-2.1-6
0 function. Current velocity, related to river water discharge, exhibited a range from 0.0 meter per second at Station 3A in the discharge canal during periods of plant off-line to a maximum of 1.2 meters per second at Station 2 on April 26 and June 7. Seasonal mean current velocities were 0.9 and 0.6 meters per second for ambient Stations 2 and 11, respectively, while heated Stations 3 and 11 exhibited a acasonal mean of 0.6 meter per second for both stations. 2.1.3.2 Chlorophyll a Analyses Tablo 2.1-2 shows chlorophyll a concentrations (micrograms per square cantimeter) for all stations on all sampling dates. Ambient stations had a chlorophyll a range from 0.17 ug/cm at Station 2 on October 12 to 7.89 ug/cm at Station 2 on April 26. Heated stations had chloropi.yll a ranges from 0.07 pg/cm at Station 11 on October 26 to 7.59 ug/cm at Station 7 on April 26. nigh spring chlorophyll & concentra-tions at both heated and ambient stations are associated with the spring diatom community of Diatoma vulgare, Navicula salinarum var. _ intermedia, and Gomphonema olivaceum. Figure 2.1-3 shows the seasonal chlorophyll a concentrations for all stations. Spring maxima are followed by irregular summer trendJ. Fall chlorophyll a concentrations drop before the onset of the late fall / winter community. Figures 2.1-4 through 2.1-8 indicate chlorophyll a concentrations related to river water temperature and current velocity. Table 2.1-3 shows seasonal percent chlorophyll a values for all stations. Ambient stations exhibited a range from 54 2.1-7
i n e a percent at Station 7 on May 24 to 100 percent at Station 7 f on April 26. Heated stations had a percent chlorophyll a i range from 39 percent at Station 3A on June 7 to 100 percent at Stations 3 and 11 on November 9. Seasonal means for per-i cent chlorophyll a values were 87 percent for ambient Stations 2 and 7 and 76 percent for heated Stations 3, 3A, and 11. l I I i Table 2.1-4 shows phaeophytin a corqentratione for all sampling periods at all stations. Ambient stations had a range from 0.00 ug/cm at Station 7 on April 26 and November 9 to 1.31 ug/cm at Station 7 on May 24. Heated stations had a phaeophytin range from 0.00 ug/cm at Stations 3 and 11 on November 9 to 1.85 ug/cm at Station 3A on June 7. 2.1.4 DISCUSSION The attached algae community of the Mississippi River near Monticello, Minnesota has had considerable investigation since 1969. During this time the species composition and chlorophyll a biomass estimates have defined the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the periphyton assemblage. -Addition of thermal effluent han been the area of major interest in relation to possible adverse environmental impact. A three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted on chlorophyli a biomass estimates relative to time, temperature, habitat,- and their interaction components. No significant dif ference was shown with respect to all statistical components of the ANOVA with the exception of time. Th.s is an expected response due to the population fluctuations from one season to another. This does not mean that heat has no effect on the algal community, but rather the effect is below the -2.1-0
4 1 e statistical level of significance. Seaconal trands of chlorophyll a biomass during 1977 are representative of previous years with comparable flow and tamperature regimes. The high spring peak in chlorophyll a corresponds to the spring diatom community of Diatoma vulgare, Navicula salinarum var. intermedia, and Gomphonene olivaceum. This peak, found only in ambient stations, was followed by a small uummer peak. The onset of the fall-winter diatom assen;blages is evident in a rise in chlorophyll a biomass shortly before the termination of the study. Species cotaposition data gathered during 1977 reflected close-similarity with those of previous years' data, indicating no change in species dominance from the thermal effluent. Cocconcis placentul.a, Diatoma vulgare, Gomphonoma olivacnum, Gomphonema parvulum, and Navicula salinarum var, intermedia remained the most stable elements of the diatom cor.cuunity. Chroococcus minimus and Phormidium faveplarum were dominant members of the Cyanophyta (see Table 2.1-5 for species list). The periphytic community studied for the last nine yt*Crs represents an important elemene in the trophic structure of l the river. Any severe impact to the algal community would probably,be evidant in successive elements of trophic levels. The ability of these primary producers to recover in a short period of time has resulted in a stable population since 1969. During this time, there has been no evidence of detri-mental environmental impact on the periphyton community. The lack of adverse effects supports the deletion of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Periphyton Program. 2.1 9

SUMMARY
1. Three-way ANOVA statistics showed no significant effect on chlorophyll a biomass resulting from thermal effluent addition. 2. Species composition of the Mississippi River near Monti-cello, Minnesota remained unchanged in 1977 with respect to species dominance and seasonal population trends. 3. Chlorophyll a biomass trends during 1977 were representa-tive of previous years of comparu le temperature and flow. 4. During the nine years of periphyton monitoring, no adverse environmental effects have been detected. 2.1-10
