l I. INTRODUCTION Special Condition C of the NPDES Permit No. PA. 0047325, requires a 316(b) study program for impingement and entrainment at the Susquehanna SES. To meet this requirement, a predictive model for impingement and entrainment was submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (Pa. DER) by the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company (PP&L) on January 9,1980 (Appendix A).

Additional discussions were held between the Pa. DER and PP&L on March 4, 1980 to elaborate on this model. At this meeting, it was agreed that a 316(b) demonstration program should be only conducted for entrainment. A proposed sampling program for tra demonstration was submitted to the Pa. DER on April 9, 1980 (Apperdix B). Both the Pa. DER and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency app oved the proposed program in.a letter dated April 29, 1980 (Appendix C). The objective of this 316(b) demonstration was to evaluate che estimated annual number of larval fish that would be entrained by the Susquehanna SES as calculated by the predictive model.

The predictive model was based on specific design information for the Susquehanna SES intake structure and larval fish entrainment data from other power plants with similar intakes on the Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers. In addition, the model also incorporated ecological data from a survey conducted in the vicinity of the Susquehanna SES in 1974 (Ref. 1). Results of the model indicated that few larval fish would be entrained by the Susquehanna SES as compared to those in the river. It was, therefore, cencluded that no adverse impact would occur to the river fishes. The following conservative assumptions were used to design the predictive model:

(1) highest number of larval fish collected per unit volume based on data in the vicinity of the Susquchanna SES, (2) maximum intake flows, and (3) 100% mortality of entrained larval.

The demonstration program submitted to the Pa. DER (Appendix B) was revised after the program was in place. Comparisons between the

, proposed demonstration program and the actual 316(b) demonstr< 'on are listed as follows:

11. PROCEDURES All samples and associated field data for the 316(b) demonstration

, were collected by Ichthyological Associates, in the Susquehanna River at the Susquehanna SES intake structure. The intake is of a standard design (Ref. 2) with two 11 x ll-ft bays (Fig. 1). River water which is drawn into either the North or South bay, passes beneath a skimmer wall and then through 1-inch vertical bar screens followed by 3/8-inch mesh traveling screens before entering a wet pit area which houses four make-up se'ction pumps A through D (Fig. 2) . Only three pumps are necessary to produce a maximum intake flow of of thesg/s 8,880 m (39,100 gpm). During sample collection intake flows were limited to about one-third maximum because of other preoperational testing activities and pumps C and D located in the South bay were operated. Therefore, to simulate more representative intake velocities, all sampling was done directly in front of the skimmer wall of the South intake bay. Since it was not possible co isolate both bay channels before sampling, some flow could have entered via the North intake bay. To evaluate the amount of flow which bypassed the South intake,' water velocities were measured.with a Curley Pygmy Current Meter (Model No. 625) in the first three sampling perieds.

Replicate measurements of water velocity were taken in the center of each bay at depths where samples were collected.

Larval fish samples were collected during four, 24-hour sampling periods on 20-21 May, 28-29 May, 11-12 June, and 16-17 July 1951.

Sets of replicate samples were taken'nt 3-hour intervals throughout each sampling period. In each set, three replicate surface (within 1/2 meter below base of skimmer wall) and bottom (within 1/2 meter of river bottom beneath base of skimmer wall) samples were collected.

In all, 48 replicates (24 surface, 24 bottom) were obtained during each of the four sampling period.

Each replicate was collecced by pumping water through a 216-u resh net-for 5 minutes with a high capacity (500 gal / min) trash pump mounted on a pontoon boat as described by Gale and Mohr (Ref. 3).

The 4-inch ' intake pipe of this sampler was modified by dividing it into two, 4-inch sample collection pipes so that surface and bottom samples could be collected without major adjustments for depth while l sampling was in progress. This was accomplished by attaching the i pump's intake pipe to a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) "t-fitting" affixed to the bow of the boat. From this fitting, two 4-inch pipes were I directed downward with 90* elbows and then equipped with gate valves.

! Prior to each sampling period, the length of each of these sample collection pipes was adjusted with various sizes of PVC pipe to within 1/2 meter of the sampling depth as determined by river level.

l The collection of either surface or bottom samples was controlled with the gate valves. For example.-thi' change from surface to botten l ,

collections, the gate valve on the bottom collection pipe was cpened l __

while simultaneously closing the valve on the surf ace collection pipe.

The volume sampled in each replicate was determined by multiplying pumping duration (5 min) by pumping rate. The pumping rate was measured once in May and once in July by timing the filling of a 1,280-liter trough.

During these tests, the pumping rate was checked with a hand-held tachometer (Stewart-Warner Model 757-W). These tachometer readings were compared to those taken at 3-hour intervals during each sampling period to assure that the pump was functioning at near-maximum capacity.

Each sample was preserved in the field with 10% formalin containing rose bengal stain, and transported to the laboratory where larvae were sorted. Identifications and life stages (prolarva or postlarva) of all larvae were determined using a dissecting microscope (10-70X).

Prolarvae were defined according to Hubbs, as fish with yolk and postlarvae were those without yok (Ref 4). After scalation began fish were considered juveniles and not reported. Catfishes were considered juveniles when morphometrics, meristics, and pigmentation patterns resembled those of adults.

Larvae were identif' ed to the lowest taxon possible by comparing them to our reference series of 31 species of laboratory-reared specimens and with developmental information given in Buynak and Mohr (Refs. 5 through 17). We also used keys and descriptions for larval fish identification in Ref. 18 through 39). Severely damaged fish which could not be identified were tabulated as fragments. All specimens were stored in 10% formalin.

Larval fish data were calculated in terms of mean density and mean number.~N

-$rThe mean density of each 3pecies of larval fish was expressed as the nu=ber collected per 10 3 in the raw data tables. The mean number of fish entrained,per m during the entire demonstration perio d was the mean density of the four sampling periods May through July. ~he mean number of fish entrained per day during the demonstration period wgs calculated by cultiplying the mean number of entrained fish per m by the total volume of wateg withdrawn from the river for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> at maximum intake flow (0.82 m /s).

1 111. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION l

Temperature and flow of the river, and pumping rate and velocity in

. the intake were measured while collecting entrainment samples (Table 1). Seasonal warming of the river occurred throughout the four sampling periods and mean river flow decreased continuously until on the last sampling period in July, it was only 15% of the flow measured in the first period in May. 3 The maximum pumping rate of intake pumps C and D was 0.82 m /s (13,000 gal / min). These pumps created velocities up to 0.15 m/s (0.5 ft/s) in the South bay and no measurable velocity in the North bay. It was concluded from these data that essentially all of the river water was drawn through the South bay when entrainment samples were collected.

At least 18 species of larval fish were collected in the entrainment samples (Table 2). Six species composed 82% of the total number captured. Quillback was the most numerous (37%) followed in abundance by carp (22%), tessellated darter (11%), spottail shiner (8%), and spotfin shiner (4%). Game fish larvae such as bullhead catfishes, sunfishes, and walleye composed less than 3% of the total.

A total of 3,374 larval fish (86% prolarvae) was collected in the four sampling periods (Tables 3 through 7). In each sampling period, over 70% of the la'rvae were captured at night in collections f ren 0900 through-0300 hours. Numbers were always greatest at midnight or 0300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br />. Gale and Mohr (1976) documented similar diel variations in the abundance of drif ting larval fish nearby in the river channe (Ref. 1). Af ter 5 June, the densities of larval fish in the river '

decreased substantially (Ref. 40) suggesting that the sampling period 20 May through 17 July was adequate even though the demonstration program initially was to include sampling in Au3ust.

Large fluctuations in the density of larval fish occurred among the four sampling periods (Table 8). In the first period, 24% of the total catch was collected followed by 48% in the second, 26% in the third, and 2% in the last period. As expected, the majcrity of the l

larvae, about 60%, were captured in surf ace samples (Tgble 9 and 10).

l The maximum mean density at-the intake (35.1 fish /10 m ) was found in thesecondsamplingperjodon28-29Maywhichwassimilartothepeak L density (34.4 fish /10 m ) found at a routine monitoring statien located 190 m upriver near the channel on 27 Ma,. (Ref. 40). In general, fluctuations in mean density were similar to those in the river-(Fig. 3). The density, however, was always greater in the intake (x = 34%). This was due in greatjpart to the fact that commen carp, one of the most numerous fishes in the-intake samples, was seldom taken in the river samples. In' addition Gale and Mohr (1976) found that drifting larvae tended to move shoreward at night.

The estimate of the mean number of fish entrained per m derived from data collected in demonstration program agreed closely with the predictive model estimate (Table 11). The projected demonstration ,

that 389.c00 larvae could be entrained per day from May through July compared to the predictive model estimate of 350,000 larvae per day from May through August. The projected demonstration estimate was slightly higher (11%) partially because August data were not included as they were in the predictive model estimate. Moreover, it should be emphasized that even under conditions of maximum design intake flow (Table 13).-less than 1.5% of the overall river flow would have been withdrawn for cooling purposes for the Susquehanna SES during the demonstration program sampling period. It is fortunate for the fishery that natural river flov is usually high during the period of greatest larval fish abundance.

9 IV. $NCLUSION To meet Special Condition C of the NPDES Permit No. PA. 0047325, the Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. developed a predictive model (Appendix A) and conducted this demonstration program to detemine the magnitude of larval fish ent ainment at the Susquehanna SES.

Results of the demonstration program favorably support the estimated values of the predictive model. Therefore, if the magnitude of larvae fish entrainment. as derived from the model (based on entrainment studies at other power generating stations with similar intakes and flows) was acceptable to regulatory agencies, it seems reasonable to conclude that the projected entrainment of larval fishes would also be acceptable at this station. There should be no adverse impact from entrainment to the fish population in the Susquehanna SES from operation of this station.

SOCIAL ECONOMIC QUESTIONS NUMARC STUDY Response to Socioeconomic Questions for Susquehanna Steam Electric Station

1. 2,400 permanent workers
2. 2,400 pennanent workers on average since the issuance of Susquehanna's Operating License. This is average for the total sitet statistics are not available on a per-unit basis.
3. The following attachment sunimarizes the answer to Question #3. It is important to note that each planned outage at Susquehanna SES is a single unit outage and all planned outages include 151 activities. Therefore, the answers to Part A and Part B are the same.

The largest single outage (Part C) was the Unit I first Refueling and Inspection Outage (2/9/85-6/12/85). A significant portion of the work performed during this outage was one-time modification work. A steam dryer crack repair and IHS! accounted for a major percentage of outage man-rem.

Also, outage costs at Susquehanna SES are calculated as the cost above normal 0&M costs for the outage period, esh/ msg 2149c(26)

IMPINGEMENT AND ENTRAINMENT STUDIES POR THE SUSQUEllANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION I. Purpose In response to Special Condition C of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA-0047325, the Pennsylvania Power &

Light Co. (PP&L). is providing a study for projection of impingement and entrainment effects at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station -

(Susquehanna SES) intake. The purpose of this study was to determine impingement and entrainment monitoring requirements for the Susquehanna SES.

II. Study Area The Susquehanna SES consists of two boiling water reactors, each with an electrical generating capacity of 1,050 MVe. It is located on a 1075 acre site in Salem Township, Luzerne County, about 5 miles northeast of Berwick, Pennsylvania. Commercial operation of Unit 1 is scheduled to begin in 1982 and Unit 2 in 1983. Aquatic studies have been conducted on tho Susquehanna River near the Susquehanna SES by Ichthyological Associates, Inc. since 1971. The Susquehanna River will be the source of make-up water for the station cooling system.

The overall objective of these studies has been to establish an ecological baseline of existing conditions in the river and on the site prior to operation of the Susquehanna SES (Ref.1).

Most of the-aquatic studies were conducted within 1.25 miles of the intake structure and discharge diffuser of the Susquehanna SES. The slope of the river bed in this stretch of the Susquehanna River is 1.6 ft/mi and the average width is about 984 ft. Depth is relatively shallow in most areas (less than 6.6 f t.), but some pools may exceed 16.4 ft. even during low river flow. During perieds of low ficw.

which normally occur in late summer and early autumn, abanoooed cel walls help maintain pools, some of which are several kilometers long.

In times of high flow the river level commonly increases 9.84 f t, or more, and its flow characteristics resemble those of an open channel.

Upriver from the site, the " Wyoming Region" of the northern anthracite coal field lies beneath or adjacent to the river. Acid mine drainages from this Area, which enter from abandoned strip and shaft mines, degrade the water quality at the site.

III. River Vater Intake The river intake structure, as shown on Figure 1. River Intake Structure-Velocity Profile, consists of a structural steel superstructure above the operating floor and 4- reinforced concrete

' substructure that extend into rock below the level of the river bottom.

i The superstructure houses the makeup water pumps and l

l 1

associated equipment including switchgear, automatic operating -

equipment for trash handling screens, motor control centers, sc een wash strainers and a debris br,ndling facility. (Ref. 2)

The substructure contains two water entrance chambers that house the traveling screens and two pump chambers. The two intake openings are formed by the floo; and sides of the entrance chambers. The top of the intake openings is formed by an inverted weir that extends one foot below the minimum river water level, elevation 484.0 ft., to intercept floating oil and debris. The front of the intake is at the river bank with flared wing walls extending down the natural slope of the bank to provide for an even and gradual water approach velcrity.

(See Figure 2, River Intake Structure Ving Valls).

A cost-benefit analysis was used in determining the best intake structure type for this station. The standard intake structure was selected for the Susquehanna SES over the alternate infiltratien system (Ranney Collector) since the altnerate could not provide the required water supply for station operation. The staudard intake has also been used without adverse environmental impacts at other PP&L and utility stations. Based on environmental impact, location on the river and economic costs the standard intake structure was considered to be the best technology available (BTA) for the Susquehanna SES by PP&L.

The intake flow velocity (0.37 fps, max) is perpendicular to, and '

considerably less than, the mean river velocity (1.22 fps mean, July 1974 through April 1975), which tends to move submerged aquatic life and floating debris past the intake (Ret 1, 1974, 1975, 1976). Figure 1 shows the average horizontal velocity of the water flowing from the river to the intake punps.

Four nominal 33.3a% capacity intake pumps that have a capacity of 13,500 gpm (30 cis) each are installed in the intake structure. At 100% station load operation of both units maximum intake flow under the least favorable (1%) meteorological conditions is 39,100 gpm (87 cis).

The two water entrance chambers are each equipped with automatically operated trash bar screens and traveling screens. A trash bar screen is provided behind each of thw invetted weir intake openings to prevent large debris from impeding operation of the automatic traveling screen located downstream. The trash bar screens and traveling screens are operated automatically by differential pressure sensors or by a timer for periodic cleaning. Vater spray systems wash debris from the screens into a basin for disposal whenever the trash bar screens or traveling screens operate. The trash bar screens consist of vertical bars with a 1 in, opening between bars. The-traveling screens have 3/B in. mesh wire openings. (Ref. 2).

2

The velocity of water through both intake structure passages when three pumps are operating (39,100 gym maximum) is as follows:

o Through the entrance openings (i.e. under inverted weir) is

. independent of river level: 0.37 fps, o Through the clean bar screen openings at minimum river level 484 ft. above mal: 0.58 fps, o Through the clean trsveling screen openings at the minimum river level 484 ft above mal: 0.64 fps.

4 Under the worst case anticipated (general maintenance and repair) with three pumps operating at a flow of 39,100 gpm and with only one passage open, the inlet velocity would be 0.75 fps (Ref. 2). The worst case situation should occur less than once per year and be of short duration since maintenance of this type it norna11y scheduled during outages.

After passing through the intake structure river water goes through the stations circulating water system. There are two hyperbolic natural draft cooling towers for cooling heated condenser cooling water. Cold air enters the bottom of the tower, mixes with the circulating water in the tower fill (water dispe nal material),

removes best f rom the water and tbc warm air-water vapor mixture rises to leave the tower at the top. The towers are suitable for year-round operation. (Ref. 2). The maximum volume of water withdrawn by the Susquehnna SES from the Susquehanna River as indicated previously will be 39,100 gpm (87 cis) while the annual average will be 32,365 gpa (72 cis).

IV. Hethods for Determining 1mpingement and Entrainment Calculations The equation used for calculating entrainment is as follows:

  1. 1arval fish /ft 3(X) # max. intake flow it /sec(X) 3 E0 sec/ min (X) 60 min / hour (X) 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> / day = # larval fish entrained / day NOTE: (X) = multiply An example of entrainment at Hunlock SES is as follows:

lbs. fish = lbs. fish sampling time day 3

f.w, , -.v W4 -4 4 - g ,m mw , - wq m.9 w w.+y.-e - g a--g- ymw v

An example of an impingement calculation for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station can be shown as follows:

5.4 lbs a lbs fish = 0.3 lb. fish impinged / day 480 hr 24 hr/ day To facilitate comparisons of data collect ed from the various impingement and entrainment studies the data was normalized. See Table 1, Impingement and Entrainment Data from Power Stations, for the appropriate parameters. The calculation for impingement at the Susquehanna SES however, is based on a direct ratio with Hunlock SES impingement data.

V. Assumptions used in Determining Impintement and Entrainment Projection for the Susquehanna SES Since the Susquehanna SES bas a closed cycle heat dissipation system, PP&L conservatively assumes that the mortality of all entrained organisms is 100%. The critical months for development of fish eggs and larvae in 1974 were May through August. The year 1974 was selected since three separate methods (fixed net, push net, and pump) of larval fish collection vete used at the Susquehanna SES (Ref. 1, 1974). By using these methods both drifting and swieming larvae were collected. The nest larval fish were collected with the push net technique (0.0465 larval fish /f t 3), and this data was used in determining entrainment for the station.

Impingement studies between July 1974 and April 1975 at the nearby Hunlock Steam Electric Station, (Junlock SES) indicated that fish werc considered to be the critical organism (Ref. 3). During this period approximately 1.0% of the mean river flow was withdrawn by Hunlock SES. This is similar to the flow to be withdrawn by the Susquehanna SES of 0.6% (87 cis). Based on Hunlock SES impingement data a direct ratio of 0.7% to 0.6% (1:0.6) vas used in projecting estimates for the Susquehanna SES.

VI. Impintement and Entrainment Study Data

1. Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. Units 1 & 2 Susquehanna SES, Units 1 and 2 are two-1050 NVe boiling water reactors operated by PP&L. The station will utilize a closed cooling system with a maximum flow of 87 efs of Susquehanna River water with an intake velocity of 0.37 fps.

Larval fish data have been collected for over seven years in the vicinity of the Susquehanna SES intake structure (Ref. 1).

Larval fish data collected between May and July of 1974 were used for this analysis. There were 275 push net samples (0.0465 Revised July 1982 4

larval fish /f t )8 average about five minutes each 276 fixed net samples (0.0277 larval fish /ft ), 3 and 343 five minute pump samples (0.0177 larval fish /f t3 ). Larvae of 22 species of fish were collected with a majority being suckers, minnows and carp, and perches. The push net data of 0.0465 larval fish /f t3 was

, used in projecting that approximately 350,000 larval fish / day vtuld be entrained. About 1.23% of the mean river flow will be withdrawn by the station during the spawning season. (See Table 1, for additional information.)

Projected impingement data for the Susquehanna SES are based on the nearby data collected at the Hunlock SES between July 1974 and April 1975 (Ref. 3). Seventy six fish were collected during an 80 hour9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> sampling period and it is estimated that approximately 23 fish were impinged per day. Also, the estimated weight per day of these impinged fish was 1.4 lbs. Since the Susquehanna SES withdraws about 86% as much water from the Susquehanna River as does Hunlock SES (0.6% vs. 0.7%) the projected number of fish impinged per day was approximately 20 with a weight of about 1.2 i lbs.

2. Hunlock Steam Elcet ric Station The Hunlock SES is a small one unit coal-fited station (46 MWe) operated by the Luzerne Electric Division of UGI Corporation. It is located about 9.3 miles up river from the Susquehanna SES, and utilizes a once through cooling system that draws in about 145 cfs of Susquehanna River water through two intake canals with velocities up to 0.75 ft/s.

Larval fish were also sampled at the Hunlock SES once per month in May through July 1974 to determine entraitment losses. Mean densities of entrained larvae were less than 0.03 larval fish /ft) or about 375,000 larval fish / day. This was-concluded to be an acceptible loss because less than 2% of the mean river flow van drawn into the station during the r* pling period.

Once each month, from July 1974 through April 1975, impingembat samples were collected. Seventy-six fish were collected in an 80 hour9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> period. Extrapolation of results from these samples showed that 23 fish were impinged per day and approximately 1.4 lbs, of fish were impinged per day. It was concluded that impingement losses would have a negligible affect on the sport fishery of the Susquehanna River (Ref. 3).

3. Martins Creek Steam Electric Station Units, 1 & 2 Martins Creek SES is located about 6 miles north of Easton, Pa. ,

on the Delaware River (Ref 4). Martins Creek SES Units 10 2 are two-150 MWe coal fired units and Units 3 & 4 are two-800 Mi'e 5

oil fired units operated by PP&L. Units 1 & 2 utilize a combined maximum of 268 cfs of Delaware River Vater for once through cooling with an intake velocity of 0.8 fps. Units 3 & 4 utilize 80 cfs for cooling tower askeup and station service water. Since Units 3 & 4 are used only for cycling, impingement and entrainment studies were monitored only on Units 1 & 2.

The water withdrawn by Units 1 & 2 during the entrainment sarpling period of April through June 1976 was 3.5% of the mean river flow.

The number of larval fish entrained was 0.0012/f t 3 About 28,000 larval fish were entrained at Martins Creek per day and the impact of entrainment was not considered adverse for the aquatic environs.

The impingement program was conducted from March 1976 through February 1977. During a sempling period (26 hours3.009259e-4 days <br />0.00722 hours <br />4.298942e-5 weeks <br />9.893e-6 months <br />) it was projected that about 3 fish per day would be impinged or about 4 lbs. per day. Impingement was not considered an adverse impact since so few fish were impinged. .

4. Brunner Island Steam Electric Station.

The Brunner Island SES lorated on the Susquehanna River about 8 miles north of York, Pa. 11 ow4ed and operated by PP&L. Unit 1 is rated at 300 MWe, Unit 2 at 350 MWe and Unit 3 is rated at 790 MWe (Ref. 5). This station has a once through cooling system with a maximum intake flow of 1,154 cf .

The entrainment survey was conducted between April and July oi 1976.

The river watcr withdrawn during the entrainment study was about 3.7% of the nean river flow. The number of larval fi:h entrained per day was about 500,000 and this was not considered to be an adverse environmental impact on the Susquehanna River. -

The impingement study was conducted between March 1976 and February 1977. The data collected for this stuJy was limited bowever 47 fish were impinged over a 267 hour0.00309 days <br />0.0742 hours <br />4.414683e-4 weeks <br />1.015935e-4 months <br /> sampling period.

The number of fish impinged per day was 43 or 7.88 lbs. per day.

It was evident that impingenient losses on the traveling

  • eens were not substantial (Ref. 5).

5.

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (Unit 1)

The Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (Three Mile Islard NS) is located on Three Mile Island about 10 miles Southeast of Harrisburg, Pa. and is owned and operated by Metropolitan Edicen Company (Ref. 6). Unit 1 is 792 NWe pressurized water reactor with an intake flow of 60 cfs and a velocity of 0.2 fps. This station used a closed cooling system with two natural draf t cooling towers.

6 j

An entrainment survey of larval fish was conducted between April and August 1977.

About 0.2% of the mean river flow was used for station, cooling (two natural draft cooling towers). The number of larval fish entrained was 0.075 larval fish /ft3 The nunber of 'arvae estimated to be entrained per day was 388,800 and was not considered an adverse environmental impact.

The impingement studies indicated that raainly diseased or dead l l

fish are impinged while healthy fish avoid the screer.s. During l the period March through 11ecember 19/7, 168 fish were impinged  !

per day (0.27 lbs./ day). This was t4ot considered to be an adverse . impact to the aquatic environs.

VII . Sena ry Impingement and entrainment surveys bave been candocted at several power stations including those mentioned in this study. Iu all cases with the exception of the Mirtins Creek SES the projected estimite for fish impinged and entrained at the Susquehanna SES is similar to the data collectea at the other stations. At Martins Creek which is on the Delaware River the number of organisms entrained 0.0012/f t) was very low and this may be dea to a very small number of larval fish in the vicinity of the station ;r the period in which the larval fish were sampled. Samples collected at Martins Creek were April through June while at other stations the entrained samples were collected in July and some also in August. Table 1, lists both the appropriate impingement and entrainment data.

The intake structure design selected L'e the Susquehanna SES wa; based on environmental as well as economic )st3 meeting BTA requirements (Ref. 7 & 8). The Susquehanna SES i, ake utructure location and type were based on availability of water .d >ography in the vicin:ty surrounding the station. The location c the intake on the river is in an area which has tended to limit the .fpes and quantitles cf organisms present (Ref. 1, 1974).

Comparisons of flow volume, available organisms, flow rates, design of the intake structure, river condition, and sampling data indicate that the Susquehanna SES intake is not uniaue. The projected estimates of impingement and entrainment values for the Susquehanna SES are similar to data collected for studies at Hunlock SES, Martins Creek SES, Brunner Island SES and Three Mile Island NS. Based on data collected from field impingement and entrainment studies at similar electric generating stations which indicated that the impacts are not adverse, an impingement acd entrainment field study at the Susquehanna SES should not be required ts part of the Nat.ional Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit.

Dear Mr. Ulanowski:

During our coeting of March 4,1950 at Wilkus Barre we discussed our sub=ittal of January 9,1930 regarding Special Condition C of our NPDES Perait #0047325. Our subnittal included a predictive model to satisfy this condition. Durin this meeting you requested that FP5L sub=Lt a progran for confiraation of predicted organisa entrainnant values. You also concurred with our conclusion that inpin;ccent losses would be no;11;i';1c and that further nonitoring would not be required. Accordingly, wo are submit *.ing a proposed verification program for entrainment values for fish larvao which we feel cortain will verify our predictive modol. This progran is as follows:

1. Simpling Frequency -

o Fish larvae will be sampled at the intake bay at which :..o pu:ps are operating:*

1. Threo times per 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> day (includin; daylight and nighttico) at approxinately S hour intervals) .* *
2. Approxicately five minutes duration per replicate.
3. Two sample days per conth.

II.. Samplin2 LOVol -

o Samplos will be withdrawn at two lovels

1. Near the botton of tho skinmer wall.
2. Near tho botton of the intako aperture.

4

  • Thoro are two bays with two full capacity pu -ps per bay. Normal two unit station operation requires three of those four pumps to operato. These tests will be consucted with three pumps operating.
    • Current plans are to conduct sampling at 0200, 1400, 2200 hrs.

Page 2 III. Sanplc Volume -

.o A ~14hmted voluce do!,ivery pu=p with a discharge co11cetion II.Itzr will be used wruch delivers approxi=stely 500 gallons por

  • - e. Since the samp17 will be of about 5 ninutes duration, asch sampic volu=c will be about 2300 gallons.

IV. Identifi$ H = - .

o Fish inrrae co11ceted will be identified to the lowest feasible um V. Program Daration -

o Tnis progrra will be conducted for a period of three =enths durin:: the spawning season watch at the Sasq. SES is ::ay, Juno and July.

VI. Reporting -

ife w111 supply you copius of the draft report upon review and ctr.mle tion.

- Final results will be reported to you as an addundun to our routine annus1 report which is completed prior to !by 1st of the year

, following data co11cetion. Copies will be supplied to your offico after preparation.

Although you suggested a sanpling frequency of four hours rather that the eight hour frcquency dascribed above, we have detemined that this cannot be accocplished witnout si;;nificant adverso impact on the intake pu::.ps.

Sinco ~the ecoling tonors' will not be in operation during this sar.pling period thero will be no evaporation and the i.ntake rate will exceed the blowdown rate. As a result it will be necessary to cycle these purps on and off to persit blowdown of water accumulated in the cooling tower basins between sa pl.ing periods. Thoso pu=ps are designed for continuous operation and a linited number of cycles are permitted. Wo have therefore proposed n'oight hour interval between sa: pling periods. -

You suggested a.lso in our recting that wo should consid: ss=plin at i bottom, middle and surface levels. We cannot at this tine deterr.ine a practical s:thod for samplina at three different icvols.  !!e have dotetuince however from our daw .in existing siver concentrations of fish larvao that these organisms tend to group at cithef the bottoa or surfaca lovol. We ceasider that there will be no loss of confidence in verification of the progran with thu described sampling.

l Sinco this is not normal operational raode as described in cur !!PXS pernit and applicatica we also requ,st your appro?5Tfor this pa::, pin;; and releaso concept.

Pago 3 lio trust that this verification prograu as described vill serve to verify our initial program subnittal of January 9,1030. lio request your approval of this pro ran as described at your earliest convenienco sinco we fully intend to proceed during !by of 1930. ,

If you have any questions plcoso do not hesitate to en11 ne at 215-251-4735.

Page 1 AQUATIC RESOURCE QUESTIONS

1. Post-licensing modifications and/or changes in operations of intake and/or discharge systems may have altered the effects of the power plant on aquatic resources, or may have been made specifically to mitigate impacts that were not anticipated in the design of the plant. Describe any such modifications and/or operational changes to the condenser cooling water intake and discharge systems since the issuance of the Operating License.

Response i There have been no post-licensing modifications and/or changes in operation of the intake or discharge systems.

i

Page 2

2. Summarize and describe (or provide documentation of) any known impacts on aquatic resources (e.g. fish kills, violations of discharge permit conditions) or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) enforcement actions

'that have occurred since issuance of the Operating License. How have these been resolved or changed over time? (The response to this questions should indicate whether impacts are ongoing or were the result of start-up problems that were subsequently resolved).

Response

Since receiving an Operating Permit for the Susquehanna SES, there have been no adverse impacts to the environs in the vicinity of the station causing either fish kills or significant impacts to their aquatic biota. There have been several NPDES noncompliances over the years, with seven in 1989 and one to date in 1990.

During the operational period, there were two NPDES enforcement actions.

In 1985, the onsite sewage treatment plant (STP) was unable to process all-the sewage and solids properly to meet NPDES limits. The STP treatment was expanded to increase treatment of these waste streams. The second incident was an acid leal from the circulating water acid injection system. An additional procedure for leak testing, as well as replacement of piping, have been initiated to avoid this problem in the future. In both incidents, impact to the Susquehanna River was minimal with no olservable consequences to the aquatic biota.

Paga 3

3. Changes to the NPDES permit during operation of the plant could indicate whether water quality parameters were determined to have no significant impacts (and were dropped from monitoring requirements) or were subsequently raised as a water quality issue. Provide a brief summary of changes (and when they occurred) to the NPDES permit for the plant since issuance of the Operation License.

Response

Since the early 1970, after Tropical Storm Agnes, the Susquehanna River water quality has improved. There have been decreases in sulfates and iron, while pH has increased, in January 1990, the Susquehanna SES received a new NPDES permit. One major change was deletion of iron as a cooling tower blowdown water quality limit. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources calculations determined that the river water quality standards would not be violated from this additional input to the river.

L:

Page 4

4. An examination of trends in the effects on aquatic resources monitoring can indicate whether impacts have increased, decreased, or remained relatively stable during operation. Describe and summarize (or provide documentation of) results of inonitoring of water quality and aquatic biota (e.g., related to NPDES permits, Environmental Technical Specifications, site-specific monitoring required by federal or state agencies). What trends are apparent over time?

Response

Environmental monitoring studies have been conducted in the vicinity of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (Susquehanna SES) since 1971. These studies have included the collection of both aquatic and terrestrial data'.

Trends in these monitoring data were used to characterize the enviranment before the power station began operation in 1982 (Ichthyological Associates 1972-83). Since then, comparison of trends in preoperational and operational years have been used to evaluate possible effects of the Susquehanna SES on the environment (Ichthyological Associates 1984-8S. Ecology III 1986-89). Results of these evaluations have been summarized for monitoring oata collected in 1987 and 1988 (Ecology !!! 1988,1989). A brief description of the major trends that have occurred during this period is presented in " Ecological Studies in the Vicinity of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station,1988 Summary Report" (Ecology III 1989).

Page 5

5. Sumarize types and numbers (or provide documentation) of organisms entrained and impinged by the condenser cooling water system since issuance of the Operating License. Describe any seasonal patterns associated with entrainment and impingement. How has entrainment and impingement changed over time?

Response

In 1981, a 316(b) entrainment demonstration program was conducted concerning potential entrainment and impingement impacts on the Susquehanna River from operation of the Susquehanna SES. Results of this study (PP&L 1982) were submitted to thc Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PaDER). After careful review, the PaDER concluded that cooling water intake of the Susquehanna SES would not adversely inipact aquatic life in the Susquehanna River. This absolved PP&L from the need to conduct any additional impingement and/or entrainment studies at the Susquehanna SES.

Impingement studies were conducted for approxim0tely 6 weeks (1 September to 15 October) each year from 1983 through 1987, at the request of the Susquehanna Anadromous Fish Committee, to verify the occurrence of juvenile American shad in the vicinity of the Susquehanna SES intake. No shad were ever captured, but a few other fishes were taken, mainly small channel catfish, rock bass, smallmouth bass, and various minnow species. On most days throughout this study, no fish were found on the screens; the largest number captured on one day was eleven.

It is interesting to note that based on the initial study (PP&L 1982), the predicted number of fish impinged per day was twenty, with a total weight of 1.2 pounds

Page 6

6. Aquatic habitat enhancement or restoration efforts (e.g., anadromous fish runs) during operation may have enhanced the biological communities in the vicinity of the plant. alternatively, degradation of habitat or water quality may have resulted in loss of biological resources near the site. Desc-ibe any changes to aquatic habitats (both enhancement and degradation) in t;ie vicinity of the power plant since the issuance of the Operating Licenses including those that may have resulted in different plant impacts than those initially predicted.

Response-As mentioned previously, the water quality of the Susquehanna River has continued to improve in the vicinity of the power station. This higher water quality has undoubtedly increased the chances for success of the ongoing anadromous fish restoration program. American shad returned in record numbers this spring to the base of the Conowingo Dam,10 miles upriver from the Chesapeake Bay.

The improvement in water quality was predicted prior to issuance of the operating license for the Susquehanna SES. The upgrade of several sewage treatment facilities upriver was well underway and natural abatement of acid mine drainage had also been documented. Some groups were more optimistic about improved river conditions than others. For instance, the Susquehanna River Basin Study Coordinating Committee (1970) predicted a much faster improvement than actually occurred.

There was less optimism about the-success of anadromous fish restoration in the Susquehanna River when the operating license was issued. In more recent years, however, the program has shown undeniable signs of success. PP&L remains strongly committed to this restoration effort and will continue to

., support it in the future.

Page 7

7. Plant operations may have had positive, negative, or no impact on the use of aquatic resources by others. Harvest by comercial or recreational fishermen may be constrained by plant operation. Alternatively comercial harvesting may

'be relatively large compared with fish losses caused by the plant. Describe (or provide documentation for) other nearby uses of waters affected by cooling water systems (e.g., swi ming, boating, annual harvest by cohuercial and recreational fisheries) and how these impacts have changed since issuance of the Operating License.

Response

Operation of the Susquehanna SES has had a positive impact on the use of aquatic resources by others. When the power station began producing electricity in 1982, PP&L's recreation areas, the Susquehanna Riverlands and Wetlands, were opened to the public. The Riverlands provide a 24-acre lake, Lake Took-a-while, which was enlarged during construction of the park. The Wetlands features a series of ponds and canals which were restored from an abandoned section of the North Branch Canal. In addition, both the Riverlands and Wetlands are located adjacent to the Susquehanna River. Visits by the public to these facilities have undoubtedly helped to stimulate increased use of the ,iver.

There are no comercial fisheries on this section of the Susquehanna River, but there is an active sportfishery for channel catfish, smallmouth bass, walleye, muskellunge, and other river fishes. Results of an angler survey on a 3-mile stretch of the river near the Susquehanna SES showed that the total estimated hours fished increased from 5,800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> in 1981 to 7,400 hours0.00463 days <br />0.111 hours <br />6.613757e-4 weeks <br />1.522e-4 months <br /> in 1986 (Ecology III 1987). There is little doubt that fishing pressure on the river has increased substantially since this last survey was conducted.

Page 8

8. Describe other sources of impacts on aquatic resources (e.g., industrial discharges, other power plants, agricultural runoff) that could contribute to cumulative impacts. What are the relative contributions by percent of these sources, ir,;iuding the contributions due to the power plant to overall water quality degradation and losses of aquatic biota?

Response

There are literally hundreds of municipalities of various sizes located upriver from the Susquehanna SES. In most instances, sewage from these communities and local industries discharge their waste into public waste treatment facilities. Some of the larger industries have their own treatment plants. Some of the relative contributions of these impacts may be obtained from the Chesapeake Bay Basin Monitoring Program Atlas (U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 1989).

The Final Environmental Statement Operating License Stage Report (U. S. ,

- Atomic Energy commission 1973) estimated that consumptive river water use during normal conditions is less than 1%. The use of such a small quantity of water should not adversely impact aquatic biota'in the river.

Page 9

9. Provide a copy of your Section 316(a) and (b) Demonstration Report required by the Clean Water Act. What section 316(a) and (b) detenninations have been made by the regulatory authorities?

Response

Attached is a copy of the Susquehanna SES 316(b) Demonstration Report required by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources. A 316(a) study was not required.
