In: addition, there _) are a number of large - industrial plants supplied by the system. / .There are, no significant seasonal fluctuations in demand, and there ~ 'are no plans for further expansion in the near future _ Municipal ( Water Authority of East Liverpool, Ohio 1977). Public water intakes, withdrawal. rates, and -distance from-BVPS-2 are itemized in Table 12.1-6. l 2.1.3.1.4.2 -Recreation The Ohio River. access point closest to BVPS-2 is at the western site boundary. The nearest point that is generally used for fishing is the old lock and dam site about 1.5 radial miles downstream from the plant. The nearest boat launching ramp is.in East Liverpool, -ohio,. over 5 radial miles west of the station (West Virginia Department of f-Natural' Resources 1983a). >~ 2.1.3.2 Land and Water Use Within 50 Miles The area within 50 miles of BVPS-2 contains portions or all of 12 Pennsylvania counties, 10 Ohio counties, and 4 West _ Virginia countie's.. Major urban areas in the 50-mile region include Pittsburgh,. Pennsylvania, and Youngstown,. Ohio. Smaller cities include Canton and Steubenville, Ohio, and Wheeling, West Virginia. I The' urban and' industrialized centers of the region are connected by several state'and interstate highways and railroads. In' addition, ~ the Ohio River serves as a major shipping route for the movement of 4 cargo. Figure 2.1-1 shows major. urban areas,-. waterways, and. transportation routes within the 50-mile region. 2.1.3.2.1 Agriculture l' .The grazing season within this region varies considerably.from' north to south and is largely-dependent-upon the ; farming and land management' practices . employed. Within : Pennsylvania.and West' Virginia, the pasture-season extends from May to late September,1with . some variation in exact dates depending' uponzyearlyf weather-conditions and local topography (Pennsylvania Statef' Crop JReporting- -Service 1978; District Soil Conservation _Offlee 1978a,1978b).. .

BVPS-2 ER-OLS There is substantial variation in the feeding regimes throughout this area; however, there are some general practices that are employed in nearly all counties. Most of the silage, especially corn silage that is used for feed, is grown by the farmer or raised nearby (Pennsylvania State Crop Reporting Service 1978; District Soil Conservation Office 1978a, 1978b; Ohio Cooperative Extension Service

1978a, 1978b).

Some protein supplements fed to the dairy cattle are imported. In some cases, West Virginia farmers import feed, but generally this comes from Ohio which is a net exporter of forage (District Soil Conservation Office 1978b; Ohio cooperative Extension Service 1978a). For the dairy.attle within the 50-mile area, pasture is a source of 25 to 40 percent of feed supplies, with the remainder consisting of hay and silage (District Soil Conservation Office 1978a, 1978b; Ohio Cooperative Extension Service 1978a, 1978b). The feeding of beef cattle varies more substantially. In the southern Ohio counties within the region, pasture accounts for 60 percent of total feed, with hay providing the remaining 40 percent during the winter months (Ohio River Basin Commission 1978). In the northern sector of Ohio, pasture may account for as little as 25 percent of the animals' food (Ohio Cooperative Extension Service 1978b). In both cases, however, a large portion of the remaining hay and silage is grown within the immediate area. Tables 2.1-8, 2.1-9, and 2.1-10 provide statistics for beef, milk, and vegetable production within 50 miles of BVPS-2. 2.1.3.2.2 Water Use 2.1.3.2.2.1 Consumption Table 2.1-6 identifies potable water intakes within 50 miles of BVPS-2. None of these systems experience any significant seasonal fluctuations in use, and only one, Wheeling, anticipates any future expansion or curtailment of services. The Wheeling Water Department has expanded its service area to include West Alexander Township in Washington County, Pennsylvania (Wheeling, W. Va., Water Department 1983). i A report by the Ohio River Basin Commission finds that consumptive water use in the Ohio basin is expected to increase 2.3 times between 1975 and 2000. Half of this increased use will be required by energy l facilities. However, there appears to be adequate water in the r ber to meet all demands through the year 2000 and beyond (Ohio River Basin Commission 1978). I l Within the 50-mile radius of the station, there are locations where residential water supplies are obtained from wells located near the. river. This is particularly true for municipalities along the river that do not have public water supply systems. The closest river bank well is. in Georgetown Borough, approximately 1.8 radial miles from Amendment 6 2.1-8 May 1984

-BVPS-2 ER-OLS -~ - the. station. 'As-discussed in-NRC. Question : Response E240.02, the i ^~ )a. normal ground water flow path is toward the river. ~Therefore, there c [: is little potential for. residential wells near the river to be 4 - impacted by station effluents. ' Locations of. water uses,within 50 miles downstream of.BVPS-2 are identified on Figure 2.1-6. Consumptive water use by BVPS-2 is discussed in Section 3.3. 4 2.1.3.2.2.2 Irrigation The farmlands adjacent. to and downstream of BVPS are generally 'Aot irrigated. In times of extensive drought and extreme emergency, irrigation will be. employed to prevent crop losses. The typical water sources for irrigation are ponds and nearby streams. In nearly all instances, the farmlands.are on high ground many hundreds of feet above _ the Ohio River, and' the river. is _ not a _ practical source of water (U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service - W. Va. State Office. 1983; U.S. Department of-Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service - Ohio State Office. 1983; Soil Conservation Service - Moundsville, W.

Service - Cadiz, ohio, Office. 1983; Soil Conservation Service - l Lisbon, Ohio, Office 1983; Beaver County Agricultural Office 1983; Soil Conservation Service - Beaver,,Pa., Office-1983). i 2.1.3.2.2.3 Recreation Due to poor water quality,' the' Ohio River has not been a major source of recreational activity in the past. However, recreational. activity j F on the Ohio River is increasing. The.new system of'high-lift locks-and dams has provided large _ water areas; suitable for. recreational-boating. Due to this upgrading, recreational boating is projected'to i increase by about 27 percent by the year-2000 -(Ohio tRiver Basin Commission 1978). There are,:at present,uno water-oriented' federal:or state parks along [ - the Ohio ~ River shoreline within 50 air miles of':the station.(Ohio-E River Basin Commission-1978; -ohio Department ;of Natural Resources. 1970; Jefferson County, Ohio, Regional Planning _ Agency'1978; Belmont County,.

BVPS-2 ER-OLS -2.1.3.2.2.4 Transportation The~ Ohio River has always been an important transportation link in this region. In the areas where the topography is very rugged, the river and its banks have provided the only travel path. The waterway wds the prime corridor for the original settlement of the Ohio Valley and the Northwest Territory. Today it continues to provide low cost transportation, especially for bulky cargo. With the construction of high-lift locks, the river now carries more freight than any waterway in the country except the lower Mississippi. The amount of cargo carried on the Ohio River has increased steadily over the years with cargo tonnage exceeding 158 million in 1981 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1983). 2.1.3.2.3 Commercial and Recreational Fishing and Hunting 2.1.3.2.3.1 Fishing Within a 50-mile radius of BVPS-2, the Ohio River runs through the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. No commercial fishing is allowed in the Pennsylvania portion of the river, and commercial fishing licenses have never been issued in the West Virginia portion of the Ohio River within the 50-mile radius of BVPS (Pennsylvania Fish Commission 1983; West Virginia Department of Natural Recources 1983b). There is no indication of any commercial harvest of any other aquatic life or vegetation for use as human food within the portion of the Ohio River 50 air miles downstream from BVPS. Recreational fishing catch statistics _are available. for a la'rge portion of the Ohio River within 50 air miles downstream of BVPS. No recreational . catch data are available for an approximately 8-mile-long portion of the New Cumberland Pool in Pennsylvania. Pierce (et al 1983) provides data on numbers of fish harvested from the Pike Island Pool and the Ohio and West Virginia portions of the New Cumberland Pool. Unpublished length data (Mcdonald 1983) collected during the study by Pierce et al (1983) were used with published accounts of fish length-weight relationships (Carlander 1969; Carla.nder 1977; Scott and Crossman 1973) to estimate total weight of recreational catch by species (Teble 2.1-14). The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife, identifies four public fishing locations on the Ohio River within 50 radial miles of the plant. These are the Wellsville Public Ramp, the Island Creek Boat Ramp, and the Steubenville and Indian Short Creek access points. The fish species caught at these locations include largemouth bass, white crappie, channel catfish, carp,. and suckers (Ohio Department of Natural Resources 1977b). O Amendment 6 2.1-10 May 1984

BVPS-2 ER-OLS j-~; 2.1.3.2.3.2 Hunting 1 5 \\~ The 50-mile area surrounding the station is used quite extensively .fcr hunting. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania game lands (No.

173,

' located.about 4 miles northwest of the station), are regularly stocked with small game and are open for hunting. Other public land and much private property sustains heavy hunting pressure for both big and small game. A review of hunting licenses and game kill data shows that many urban residents are licensed hunters and travel to surrounding rural country to hunt. Although these hunters may travel significant distances, their residences also fall within the 50-mile area. This is true for urban counties with many registered hunters, such as Allegheny County (Pennsylvania Game Commission 1981). Hunting statistics for Ohio and Pennsylvania are presented in Tables 2.1-12-and 2.1-13, respectively. 4 2.1.4 References for Section 2.1 American Automobile Association 1981.

BVPS-2 ER-OLS ~ 2.2-ECOLOGY t-JIntensive terrestrial ecological studies were conducted on the site 4 i - ~ from April.1974 to June 1975. Results. are' detailed in the NUS -Corporation (1976a)~ report on the studies. The material reported in .Section 2.2.1 and the. accompanying tables and figures are primarily new information, collected.after the publication of the Environmental ~ Report . Construction Permit Stage (ER-CPS). Baseline aquatic ecological studies were conducted at the site (Beaver Valley Power Station - Unit.1 (BVPS-1) preoperational studies) and were discussed in the Beaver Valley. Power Station - Unit 2 (BVPS-2) ER-CPS. Aquatic ' ecological information presented in Section 2.2.2 is based on studies conducted from 1976 to the present. 2.2.1 -Terrestrial Ecology. i The Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) site encompasses approximately 501 acres of the Ohio River floodplain and adjacent uplands of Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The county receives about 35 inches or more of rainfall annually, and the frost-free season averages 241 days (FSAR Section 2.3.1.1). Deciduous forest covers more than half of Lne site while existing power plants and associated facilities occupy less than 40 percent. Approximately '7 percent of the site consists largely of scrubland, old fields, and paved roads. (Table 2.2-1, Figure 2.2-1). 2.2.1.1 Soils Most soils on the site have been formed from residual material ~ weathered from sandstone, siltstone, and shale. Notable exceptions are the soils formed from materials transported and deposited by stream action (Table 2.2-2). Depth to bedrock on the ridge 'to the south of the ' facility. varies from 20 inches to greater than 60 inches. Most soils are fine textured loams, silt : loams, or silty t . clay

loams, are well drained, and are moderately permeable (Table 2.2-2).

Much of the site is on steep slopes on which soils ~ are liable' to' erode easily when denuded of vegetation. The soils e underlaying the facility proper are discussed in FSAR Section 2.5. ~With few exceptions, the esoils_ are marginal _for crop' production-j j-because of the steep slopes. Woodland productivity and wildlife potential, however, are fair to good on most soils _(Table 2.2-3).- 1 i

The distribution of various soils on thel BVPS site is shown on

' Figure'2.2-2..The acreages and potential land use :of the soils on i the site _and in the county are presented in Table 2.2-3. 2.2.1.2 ' Vegetation 1 'The ' site has fa proportion of; wooded land similar to that of Beaver: County.

BVPS-2 ER-OLS perturbations. The structure and composition of the site vegetation (Tables 2.2-4 and 2.2-5) have been greatly influenced by spoil banks from coal mining, abandoned road beds, past farming on the more level uplands, maintenance of transmission corridors and pipelines, and selective logging. Natural perturbations which also affect the floral community on the site include the locust leaf miner (prevalent during 1977 and 1978), Dutch elm disease, ice, and wind storms. The ridge tops are dominated by black locust and black cherry, east-to south-facing slopes by mixed oak and sugar maple, south-to southwest-facing slopes by mixed oak and mountain laurel, lower slopes by beech, and the floodplain by silver maple and sycamore. The north-facing slopes are covered by second growth mixed mesophytic forests (Table 2.2-1, Figure 2.2-1). The amount of vegetative cover (Table 2.2-4) varies with slope, aspect, and land use. The tree canopy of slope forests generally shades 60 to 80 percent of the ground. Shrub cover is low (10 to 20 percent) except in more disturbed forests where it increases to 60 percent under a sparse tree canopy. Herbaceous cover is stestantially higher in mixed mesophytic communities than in other upland forest communities. More disturbed areas such as the floodplain and transmission corridors also support a heavy herbaceous cover. No endangered or threatened l plants (U.S. Department of Interior 1983) occur on the site. 2.2.1.3 Mammals l About 48 species of mammals have geographic ranges that include the site (Table 2.2-6). Of these mammals, 27 were seen, captured, or evidence of their presence was noted. No endangered or threatened mammals (U.S. Department of Interior 1983; Pennsylvania Game Commission 1983) are known to occur on the site. Game species and furbearers are discussed in Section 2.2.1.5. Most of the common mammals on the site are characteristic of wooded and shrubby areas in southwestern Pennsylvania. The site provides few open habitats for mammals, except along transmission corridors or adjacent to construction areas. Tables 2.2-7 through 2.2-9 provide information on count and distribution of cows, doe goats, and beef cattle (Porter Consultants 1981). These are the major groups of domestic fauna chat may be involved in the radiological exposure of man via the iodine-milk route. Tlase tables show animal counts by compass direction in one-mile-increments from the midpoint of the BVPS-1 and BVPS-2 reactors. 2.2.1.4 Birds l About 238 species of birds may be expected in southwestern Pennsylvania in habitats similar to those on, or immediately adjacent to, the site (Table 2.2-10). During terrestrial ecological studies on the site (NUS Corporation 1976c), 112 bird species were identified on the site or in the site region (Iables 2.2-10 through 2.2-13).

Land, use patterns ~have influenced bird populations onsite. Transmission lines through the woods-and logging have changed the structure and composition of the vegetation by increasing early seral - stages. These changes inLvegetation have provided habitats for more species-and ' greater numbers.of birds than a closed forest would support. On the other hand, plant construction has reduced habitat ~ i for breeding birds in some areas. 4 Bird. populations on the site are similar to those found-elsewhere in the region. No endangered or threatened species (U.S. Department of t Interior 1983;. Pennsylvania Game Comraission 1983) were found and none are likely to use the site, except as a temporary resting area during migration. a 2. 2.' 1. 5 Game Species and Furbearers About 15 game mammals.or furbearers and at least 29 gamebirds (23 waterfowl' species - Table 2.2-10) occur in Beaver County. 4 ~ comparison of the habitat quality for game ' Table 2.2-14 presents a-species and-furbearers on the site in particular. and the habitat- [ quality in Beaver _ County in general. Table 2.2-14 also presents an estimate of the level of harvest in Beaver County of each species. Good habitat. exists for grouse and fair habitat is found for deer, l' -gray. squirrel, gray fox, opossum, and raccoon. The lack of meadows, pastures, crcolands, ar.d fence' rows makes the site unsuitable for-i many of the other local game species which require the ecotones and j high levels of pioneer vegetation associated with these. conditions. i i 2.2.1.6. Reptiles and Amphibians-p [ Ten amphibian and five reptile-species were observed on the site 4 (Tables.2.2-15'and 2.2-16). The species found' on_ the site are typical' of the region. No endangered reptiles or amphibians'(U.S. Department;of Interior 1983) occur on~the-site. l 2.2.2-' Aquatic Ecology The following' description of the aquatic ecology at BVPS-2-is.an L ~ J. update of information collected since the publication of.the 'BVPS-2' ER-CPS .and summarizes,the changes which have occurred since that g' l' ' time.

BVPS-2 ER-OLS 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981) contain a more detailed descriptian of sampling locations, schedules, and methods. Detailed results of plankton (phytoplankton and zooplankton), benthos, and fish egg, larval, and adult data are also described in the baseline and annual reports. The following discussion presents a summary of the results since the publication of the BVPS-2 ER-CPS. Phytoplankton at the BVPS site continued to be dominated by green algae (Chlorophyta) and diatoms (Chrysophyta). Phytoplankton usually continued to exhibit a bimodal seasonal peak in abundance. Different species dominated the collections each year but some ubiquitous genera such as Navicula and Scenedesmus were abundant nearly every year. The DLC 1976, 1977, and 1978 annual reports indicate higher abundance at the upstream control transect than at downstream transects. The differences in abundance were attributed to natural variation. Zooplankton data collected before July 1974 are not directly l comparable to more recently collected data since the laboratory l preparation methods were changed at that time. Additional changes in laboratory analysis methods in later studies make it impossible to directly compare 1974-1975 data to operational data. The methods used since July 1974 tend to collect more protozoa than previous methods. Since the ER-CPS was published, rotifers and protozoans have dominated zooplankton samples. Zooplankton density continued to peak in summer and early fall. In general, few if any differences exist in seasonal abundance patterns or taxonomic group presence since 1974. When differences were noted, these were not attributable to station operation. Oligochaeta continued to be the dominant benthic group in the river at the BVPS site. However, the Asiatic clam, Corbicula, constituted a portion of the benthos from 1974 to 1977. Graney (et al 1980) reports that Corbicula have invaded many river systems of the Ohio River drainage since the introduction of Corbicula to the Pacific coast in 1938. In 1978 Corbicula declined in abundance in the river at the BVPS site, and in 1979 and 1980 no Corbicula were found in benthos samples. Fish sampling procedures used have changed many times since the issuance of the ER-CPS. No long-term spatial patterns of abundance have been revealed.

However, some general observations of fish population size and diversity have been made. Electroshock sampling has been conducted since 1975. Electroshocking has revealed that Cyprinids including shiners and minnows are the most abundant fish species in the Ohio River near BVPS.

As stated in the ER-CPS, gillnet and piscicide sampling revealed evidence of increased numbers of sport fish in this section of the Ohio River, compared to data collected from 1957 to 1969. Continued sampling with gillnets at BVPS has provided additional evidence of this trend in population size of sport fishes. The increasing incidence of capture of species such as tiger muskellunge, muskellunge, northern pike, sauger, and Amendment 6 2.2-4 May 1984

BVPS-2 ER-OLS-smallmouth bass indicates a' greater ~ diversity of sport fishes as 7- - zwell. No consistent long-or short-term. spatial patterns of abundance have been revealed in sampling. A list of fish species collected frcm 1970 to 1980 is.provided in Table 2.2-17. A list of dditional fish = species with likely or probable occurrence in the a study area lis provided in Table 2.2-18. Operation of - BVPS-1. began in May 1976. Evidence provided in the annual environmental reports (DLC 1977,

1978, 1979,

1980, 1981) indicates that changes-in fish, benthos, phytoplankton, or zooplankton populations are not-attributable to operation of.the power plant. Impingement and entrainment sampling has been condected since start-up of the plant.

Impingement sampling collected smaller. sizes and species-of fish than river samples. Entrainment sampling-showed that Cyprinids constitute the greatest portion of entrained ichthyoplankton and that phytoplankton and zooplankton were entrained } in proportion to their abundance in the river. 2.2.3 References for Section 2.2 American Ornithologists' Union 1957.

BVPS-2 ER-OLS generator coolers, and the containment air recirculation cooling (U) coils. 3.4.2.4 Safeguards Area Air-conditiening Units The safeguards area is divided into two identical areas: south safeguard area and north safeguard area. Two identical 15,000 cfm ventilation systems are provided, one unit for each area. Each ventilation system consists of an air-conditioning unit with fan and service water cooling coil, volume control damper, supply grilles, and distribution ductwork. The unit operates on 100 percent recirculation mode. Service water runs through the coil at all times. Each service water coil has a capacity of 468.64 MBH and requires approximately 300 gpm at 3*F l temperature rise. A room thermostat controls the fan operation j according to desired area temperature. Exhaust for this area is l provided by the supplementary leak collection system. Design maximum room temperature during normal operating conditions is 104*F. Electric unit heaters are installed to maintain room temperature above 65'F in the winter. 3.4.2.5 Hain Steam Valve Area Cooling coils p The main steam valve area ventilation system consists of two V) 100-percent capacity recirculation fans ar.d associated service water ( coils. Approximately 31,400 cfm of recirculated air is drawn through main steam valve area coils and fans and discharged through ductwork throughout the area. Additional ductwork is provided to maintain the main steam valve area under a negative pressure by the supplementary leak collection system. The total heat rejected is approximately 1,108.9 HBH and the required service water flow rate is approximately 240 gpm at 10*F temperature rise. Normal design maximum operating temperature is 120'F in the main steam valve area. 3.4.2.6 Motor Control Center Cooling Units The motor control center cooling units service two identical motor control center enclosures. Each ventilation system consists of a l 2,800-cfm fan and a service water coil. Each service water coil l rejects approximately 52 HBH and requires approximately 15 gpm at 7'F temperature rise. l The unit operates on 100-percent recirculation mode. Service water l runs through the coil at all times. A room thermostat controls the fan operation according to desired area temperature. Design maximum operating temperature in the motor control center is 104*F. Amendment 1 3.4-7 July 1983

\\ BVPS-2 ER-OLS 3.4.2.7, System Design Details and Operational Procedures The primary intake structure is equipped with the traveling screens and trash racks which are part of BVPS-1 equipment. The auxiliary sheet pile intake structure (Figure 3.4-6) serves as a backup to BVPS-1 and BVPS-2 in the event of a loss of the main concrete intake structure. The traveling screens in the auxiliary intake structure are made of 3/8-inch-mesh copper wire cloth fabricated with a minimum of 14 BWG wire gauge units. The screens have a minimum 10-year cloth life under present conditions of water quality in the Ohio River at BVPS-2. The motorized trash rake in the primary intake structure is used intermittently to remove floating debris, ice, and accumulated marine or plant life from the racks, which are placed upstream of the two traveling water screens. The rake operates on the rash rack, which extends from the bottom mat of the screenwell structure to the operating floor of the screenwell. It is a cable-operated raking device employing mechanical hydraulic cor,trols. Of the total service water flow of 27,573 gpm, 19,173 gpm is discharged into the main circulating water system downstream of the main surface condenser after being used in the primary and secondary heat exchang?rs to serve as makeup for the water loss from the cooling tower by evaporation, drift, and blevdown. The remaining service water flow of about 8,400 gpm is discharged directly to the river through the EOS. A portion of this flow, approximately l 755 gpm, is used by the control room air conditioning condensers, redundant cooling coils, and safegua:ds area charging pump lube oil coolers. The remainder of this flow is directed from the primary q component cooling water heat exchangers. The range of temperature rise of this water above inlet temperature is from 5' to 10*F. ( ( Velocity of the discharge of this water from the stilling basin of the outfall structure to the river et normal river pool elevation (664.5 feet) is about 2 fps. During emergency djesel generator g l

testing, an additional 1,170 gpm is discharged to the outfall

[ structure. The service water temperature rise for this circuit is 19.4'F. There are two diesel generators, each of which is tested at least once a month for approximately one hour, / s \\ Trash and any biological slimes are cleaned from bar racks and screens as necessary and deposited offsite at a land disposal site. Section 3.4.8 describes the screenwash system. It is anticipated that silt will collect both inside and in front of the intake structure and also in the cooling tower basin. Periodic dredging will be performed to remove silt from within and in front of the intake structure, and the dredged material will be deposited at an approved disposal location. It is planned to clean silt from the 'g cooling tower basin on a periodic basis. Silt cleaned from the cooling tower basin will be deposited offsite at an approved land disposal site.

BVPS-2 ER-OLS ~' In 1977-1978, a Chlorine Minimization Study was performed on the BVPS-1 circulating water system (Duquesne Light Company 1978). The study showed that under full load conditions.with the chlorination system operating at full rate the maximum allowable free chlorine residual in the cooling tower blowdown was never excee'ed. The d ~ maximum measured free available chlorine concentration was- 0.32 mg/l and the average of the daily maximum concentrations was 0.08 mg/1. The maximum total residual chlorine concentration measured was 0.65 mg/l while the. average of the daily maximum concentrations was 0.20 mg/1. The results of the Chlorine !!inimization Study are a good indication of the chlorine concentrations expected in the BVPS-2 cooling tower blowdown. To prevent the deposition of metal oxides and silt and the formation of calcium scale, a chemical manufactured by. Calgon Corporation, Cl-4000, is added to the circulating water system. The concentration of Cl-4000 is maintained at an average of 2.2 ppm. 4 O 1 s 4 ? s 5j K U Amendment 6-3.6-2a May 1984 ~ _ g ~ UF g g l

'w BVPS-2 ER-OLS> y N, 3.6.2-Floor and Equipment Drainage and Roof Drainage l s l Potentially radioactive floor drainage is processed by the liquid radwaste. treatment system,- as discussed in Section 3.5.2. Nonradioactive floor a.nd equipment drainage is discharged to the yard e i storm sewer system. Potentially oil-contaminated floor and equipment drainage is conveyed to oil separators for removal of, oil prior to being discharged to the storm sewer system. Oil removed by the oil separators is collected and. stored in drums prior to offsite disposal..The floor and equipment drainage discharged to the Ohio-River complies with.the effluent limitations of 40 CFR 423 (suspended 1 solids 30 mg/1; oil and grease 15 mg/l average). The roof drainage and noncontaminated floor and equipment drainage systems discharge to the Ohio River via the yard storm sewer. 3.6.3 Service Water Discharge system 4 Service -water from BVPS-2'is normally discharged to the circulating water system. In addition, a portion of the service water.' will be discharged into the Ohio River through the.' emergency outfall structure-(EOS) approximately 200 feet downstream ~~from the cooling tower blowdown structure. The service water system.is described in Section 3.4. Design and normal operating flows for the:EOS are: Design flow 40,000 gpm Normal continuous flow 8,400Lgpm 1 The normal water flow through the EOS consists of 755 gpm'ofccooling l. water from the heating,' ventilating, and air,' conditioning (HVAC); systems in the safeguards' area. and in the control room area. An i ~ additional 7,645 gpm of' service water,is discharged'through the.two - l -- 30-inch ~ discharge headers ,to. prevent the buildup of. silt in these lines. The chemical composition of this water will be the.-same - as. that of the Ohio River (Table 3.6-2).. 't During. emergency.. diesel generator testing,:an additional-1,170 gpmiof, diesel generator cooling water will be discharged ;through. - the EOS. l' ' There..are two diesel generators provided forLBVPS-2. 1Each generator will be. tested at least once,per month for.approximately 11 hour.

BUPS-2 ER-OLS water system. The chlorinator setting for the service water system will range from 400 to 2,000 lb/ day, depending on the cleanness of the heat exchangers. The chlorine demand of the uater in the remainder of the system is expected to reduce the residual chlorine so that discharge through the EOS will be less than or equal to 0.2 mg/l (average) and 0.5 mg/l (maximum) free available chlorine. The total residual chlorine concentration in the EOS discharge will be somewhat greater than the free available chlorine concentration. The BVPS-1 circulating water system Chlorine Minimization Study (DLC 1978) indicates that the total residual chlorine concentration can be expected to be roughly twice the free available concentration. 3.6.4 Corrosion Products The SVPS-1 and BVPS-2 condenser tubes are fabricated of Type 304 stainless steel. Assuming the corrosion rate of Ohio River water on stainless steel is comparable to the rates found for rivers cited by LaQue and Copson (1963), the corrosion rate should be less than 0.1 mil per year per unit. Based on the surface area of the main condenser tubes in each unit, the corrosion rate has been calculated to be less than 6 fta/ year per unit. Assuming a stainless steel density of 0.29 lb/in3 and an average annual river flow of 1.75 x 107

gpm, the increase in the total metal concentration in the Ohio River is expected to be 0.078 part per billion (ppb) due to the operation of BVPS-1 and BVPS-2.

3.6.5 Water Treatment Wastes Demineralized water, required as makeup to the BVPS-2 feedwater system, is supplied by the BVPS-1 makeup water treatment system. Potable water for BVPS-2 is supplied from onsite wells. The well water is softened prior to use. The following sections describe the wastes generated by the BVPS-1 water treatment and BVPS-2 softener systems. Estimated chemical usage by the plant water treatment systems is presented in Table 3.6-3. 3.6.5.1 Demineralizer System The BVPS-1 makeup demineralizer system provides high quality demineralized water for both BVPS-1 and BVPS-2 feedwater systems to replace steam generator blowdown and other system losses. The treatment system includes pretreatment of Ohio River water by clarification and filtration prior to demineralization. Makeup water from the Ohio River is treated for suspended solids removal in a single clarifier with a design capacity of 1,000 gpm. Hydrated lime and ferric sulfate are added to the clarifier to promote ficcculation, and a coagulant aid and/or clay may also be added to enhance flocculation and settling. Clarified effluent is conveyed to three gravity sand filters to remove any remaining Amendment 4 3.6-4 February 1984

The meteorological data acquisition system consisted of a computerized data processing system which collected and reduced data on a real-time basis. The average wind direction, wind speed, temperature differential ( AT), ambient temperature, dew point, and total precipitation were determined for four 15-minute samples each hour. The sampling rate for each parameter for each level was approximately 10 times per second. Standard statistical equations were -used to compute the 15-minute average values from the instantaneous samples. The standard deviation of the wind direction was calculated every 15 minutes, with 10-second smoothing of the instantaneous wind direction. An analog s stem served as a backup to the digital system. . hen W necessary to supplement digital-data, the strip chart data were manually raduced.

~ BVPS-2 ER-OLS obtained for temperature, dew point, and temperature differential data. The precipitation trace recorded cumulative precipitation amounts and recycled every 15 minutes. Average values of the wind direction were obtained from 15-minute samples of wind data centered on the hour. Hourly averanes of 35-foot wind speed from analog data were electronically digitized to avoid human biases in the wind speed distribution for accident X/Q calculations. Atmospheric stability, based on the temperature differential, was classified according to Regulatory Guide 1.23. Table 6.1-5 presents the USNRC AT stability categories. Monthly and annual meteorological data recovery rates of combined analog and digital data for 35, 150, and 500-foot wind; ambient temperature; 35-foot dew point; AT 35, feet 35 feet, AT,, feet-5 as feet; and precipitation are provided in Table 6.1-6 for the period January 1, 1976 to December 31, 1980.

The data recording and signal conditioning equipment were maintained in three separate locations. The signal conditioning equipment was located in an environmentally controlled trailer shelter located approximately 10 feet east of the base of the tower. The shelter was approximately 8 feet wide, 16 feet long, and 9 feet high. It is not expected that the trailer shelter affected precipitation measurements. The strip chart recorders and TermiNet were located in the BVPS-1 control room. The PDP8 digital computer was located in the DLC offices in downtown Pittsburgh. Both analog and digital data were telemetered to the control room, and the digital data were telemetered to the computer in Pittsburgh. Digital data, outputted at 15-minute intervals on the TermiNet in the control room, were transmitted daily via dialable telecommunications to the project meteorologist to be examined daily for any anomalous conditions or instrumentation problems. The analog data were examined on a weekly basis for any anomalous conditions. The meteorological instrumentation was calibrated quarterly. System surveillance included daily checks of the system by onsite personnel, computer calibration on a real-time basis, and computer annunciation of any malfunctions every 15 minutes. As soon as a malfunction was

detected, field maintenance personnel were dispatched to correct the problem.

Monthly and annual joint frequency distribution tables for the 5-year data period (January 1, 1976 to December 31, 1980) for AT feet-35, as feet and 35-foot wind and ATson feet as feet and 500-foot wind are presented in FSAR Appendices 2.3C and 2.3D, respectively. Amendment 6 6.1-6 May 1984

. - ~. -.. ~ BVPS-2'ER-OLS ~ From the time.of the. collection of the 5-year data base (1976-1980) p ( for the dispersion analyses to the present, several modifications have. been made to.the onsite meteorological program. In December 1981, an alternate set of instruments to measure wind speed and wind direction at -the 35, 150, and 500-foot elevations became operational.. Instruments.to. measure ambient temperature at the 35-foot level and temperature differential between 35-and ISO-foot levels and 35-and 500-foot levels were included with the equipment added to the guyed meteorological tower.

m BVPS-2 ER-OLS immediate area of the tower is currently composed of slag and dirt, O-but a warehouse will be construcced in this area before plant operation commences. This warehouse is not expected to affect the meteorological measurements at the tower. The data recording and signal conditioning equipment were maintained in three separate locations until May 1980. The signal conditioning equipment is currently; contained.in two environmentally controlled shelters (trailers)' located near the base of the meteorological tower, within the enclosed fenced area. Strip chart recorders and TermiNet are located in the BVPS control room. The PDP8 digital computer originally located in.the DLC office building in downtown l Pittsburgh was moved to shelter No. 1 in May 1980. An alternate set of instruments was installed, which includes signal t conditioning equipment, strip chart recorders,.and an environmentally controlled shelter No. 2 to house this equipment. To provide an alternate source of power to shelters 1 and 2 in the event of a loss of power frem the main power source, a diesel generator was installed inside the fenced area. A transfer switch to monitor the main power source and switch to the alternate source during power failure was installed in shelter No. 2. Protection equipment was also included in this shelter. Upgrading the existing meteorological instrumentation was started in 1981, and it became operational in December 1981. O-Analog data from the primary set of meteorological instruments are telemetered to the BVPS-1 control room charts. Before May 1,

1980, digital data were transmitted via microwave telemetry to the computer in Pittsburgh where averages were processed at minute intervals.

After May 1980, the computer was hard-wired to the meteorological sensors. The 15-minute averages are telemetered to the BVPS-1 site, where they are outputted on the TermiNet-in the control room and are transmitted via dialable telecommunication to NUS-Corporation, Rockville,

Maryland, to be examined daily for any anamolous.

conditions or instrumentation problems. The analog data are examined on a weekly basis for any anamolous conditions. Present onsite instrumentation for the 500-foot guyed tower includes: 1.

The specifications for this equipment, which follow the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.23, are summarized in Table 6.1-4a. Meteorological shelter No. 2, which contains the signal conditioning equipment, is located approximately 40 feet southwest of the tower base. Onsite alternate power source includes: 1. One Kohler Co. 30 kW Fast Response Generator set, 2. Kohler Co. weather housing for the generator set, 3. One diesel fuel tank with t 100-gallon capacity, and 4. One Kohler automatic transfer switch (located in shelter No. 2). In addition to the tower equipment, a new computer will be installed with appropriate software to meet the intent of the real-time plume trajectory and dispersion calculation requirements of Appendix 2 to NUREG-0654 (USNRC 1980). 6.1.3.2 Models The atmospheric models used to derive estimates of radiological effluent dispersion are described in detail in FSAR Sections 2.3.4 and 2.3.5. 6.1.4 Land 6.1.4.1 Geology and Soils Preoperational monitoring of geology and soils was not discussed in the ER-CPS.

BVPS-2 ER-OLS 8.2 COSTS This section supplements the costs of operation described in Chapter 8 of the Environmental Report - Construction Permit Stage by providing the latest cost estimates, in 1986 dollars, associated with the operation of Beaver Valley Power Station - Unit 2 (BVPS-2). 8.2.1 Internal Costs The operating plant life of BVPS-2 is 40 years. As summarized in Table 8.2-1, the costs associated with the construction and operation of BVPS-2 include the following: 1. The total cost of the plant and transmission line construction is estimated to be $3,076 million (in 1986 l dollars). 2. The total cost of fuel for the plant over its operating life is estimated to be $772.763 million (in 1986 dollars). i 3. The projected operation and maintenance costs are expected l to be $30.654 million in 1986 and $49.551 million in 1987, the first full year of plant operat;on. The present value l of operation and maintenance costs expressed in 1986 dollars l 1s calculated to be $939.292 million. l 4. There is a one-time U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) fee of $1,069,000 for the construction permit and a one-time fee of $1,024,500 for the operating license of BVPS-2. In addition, under the current schedule, USNRC operating fees amount to approximately S70,000 per year; thus, the total USNRC fees over the life of the facility will be approximately $4.8935 million in 1986 dollars. These fees are in accordance with the current schedules published in 10 CFR 170. 5. Plant decommissioning alternatives and costs are discussed in Section 5.8. The highest cost alternative, mothballing with delayed dismantlement, is used herein. The estimated cost for this alternative for BVPS-2 is approximately $48 million in 1982 dollars. Expressed as a present worth cost in 1986 dollars using the Central Area Power Coordination Group escalation guidelines for the period 1982 to 1986, the estimated cost for decommissioning is $65.8 million. 6. Research and development costs associated with operation and maintenance are included in the overall operation and maintenance costs (that is, Item 3). As shown in Table S.2-1, the present worth in 1986 dollars of the operational costs for the anticipated 40-year operational life of the s Amendment 5 8.2-1 March 1984

BVPS-2 ER-OLS plant is $1,783 million, and the total cost in 1986 dollars is l $4,859 million. 8.2.2 External Costs The principal long-term cost of BVPS-2 is from the allocation of land for power plant use, rather than for existing or alternate uses. Some land in the vicinity had already been dedicated to the operation of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station and Beaver Valley Power Station - Unit 1. This land was not used intensely, and allocating it for power plant use did not significantly reduce the regional amount of land for forest, cultivation, or wildlife habitat. The impact of the plant on scenic views or aesthetic values is not significantly adverse. Design structure and landscaping make the facility as unobtrusive as possible. Also, the land will be returned to its original condition, depending on decommissioning alternatives. l Present forecasts indicate that 465 personnel will be employed at BVPS-2 during its operation. About 20 percent of the operating personnel have already been hired. Duquesne Light Company is responsible for operating the plant, and personnel will be drawn primarily from within the company. It is expected that most of the personnel will be residents of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area which is within a 1-hour driving distance of the site, so there would be little incentive to relocate closer to the plant. It is possible, nevertheless, that some operating personnel may become residents of Beaver County. Since the number of relocations are expected to be

small, and since relocating personnel are likely to be dispersed throughout several towns within the county, no notable impacts to community service, facilities, or housing are e::pected.

BVPS-2 ER-OLS NRC Letter: May 4, 1983 s 4 Question E240.02 (ER Section 2.4.1.2) Figure 2.4-2 shows that the groundwater gradient is toward the Ohio River. Section 2.4.1.2 states, "Use of ground water at the site is not expected to deplete regional or local supplies because the 7 alluvium is hydrostatically connected with the Ohio River which recharges the aquifer and prevents excessive drawdown due to well 1 pumping." There appears to be a contradiction in terms here. Does the river recharge the groundwater or is it the other way around? e t

Response

In a near-river area undisturbed by well pumping, there is a net 34 discharge of ground water to the Ohio River. This behavior is characterized by normal river conditions and depicted by Figure 2.4-2, wherein the ground-water gradient is toward the river. As discussed in Section 2.4.1.2, during periods of rising river 9 level, flow reversal occurs, and the river recharges the aquifer. The amount recharged is then discharged as the river level falls. [ If well pumping occurs, a cone of ground water level depression results. For major river-bank production wells, the ground-water l gradient can be directed from the river to the aquifer, toward the _ 9 well. The water withdrawn will be partly of river origin and partly of aquifer origin, thus diminishing the use of ground water which constitutes regional or local supplies. Private residential wells, typically serving single families, have such small withdrawal rates that local gradients are not significantly affected. These wells may be located close to the rifer and yet draw exclusively from the aquifer. 1 T M Amendment 6 QE240.02-1 May 1984 .7 M' -ee

BVPS-2 ER-OLS NRC Letter: May 4, 1983 1.8 Question E240.03 (ER Section 2.4.2) Discuss the affects of plant features (channel modifications, soil fill, etc.) on erosion and discuss any erosion protection incorporated in piant design and construction.

Response

Design and construction of BVPS-2 has been performed in a manner minimizing the potential for erosion. An erosion and sedimentation control plan which addressed all site work associated with BVPS-2 was approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service in November 1973. Subsequent earth work on the BVPS site which was not considered in the original plan was addressed in a number of supplementary plans. These plans have been part of the standard project procedures in the design and construction of BVPS-2. Erosion protection during construction has included the use of sedimentation basins, early installation of storm sewers, ime of straw bales as sedimentation barriers, etc. These practic 4 have helped reduce the quantity of sediment carried off the site and into Peggs Run and the Ohio River. The channel for Peggs Run has been relocated, and a 1,400-foot section has been enclosed in a 15-foot diameter culvert. This channel modification was intended to minimize the quantity of sediment carried to the lower portion of Peggs Run and the Ohio River. Riprap will be placed at the downstream end of Peggs Run culvert in order to prevent local scour due to possible high velocity discharges during storm runoff. A landscaping specification is being developed. The specification will address long-term erosion and sedimentation control. Amendment 1 QE240.03-1 July 1983

BVPS-2 ER-OLS NRC Letter: October 20, 1983 O - Question 'E310.3 Identify the likely residential location (i.e., names of communities, counties) of the workers. Identify any anticipated impacts on the affected communities' facilities and services (i.e.,

schools, hospitals, water and waste treatment, fire, police) that would. result from the workers' residence. List facilities and services that would require expansion or additions to capacity.

Provide the same information for any BVPS-2 demands on community services.

Response

Of the 800. DLC employees currently working at the site (operating BVPS-1 and constructing BVPS-2) approximately 50 percent live within 10 miles of the site while the rest commute from the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The residential locations of employees already supporting the operation of BVPS-1, with percentages of the total work force in parentheses, follow. The residential locations for BVPS-2 employees should be similar. State: Pennsylvania West Virginia chio County: Allegheny (37) Hancock (1) Columbiana (4) O..

BVPS-2 ER-OLS NRC Letter: October 20, 1983 Question E451.5 (ER'Section 2.3) In the assesssment of long-term (routine) diffusion estimates (which is cross referenced to FSAR Section 2.3.5), a methodology is described. Releases from the process vent, attached to the Beaver Valley Power Station Unit I natural draft cooling tower, are considered to be totally elevated. According to staff review of effluents expected to be emitted from this process vent, radioiodines will be released.- The diffusion models are based on the assumption that all radioactive material is in gaseous form. Provide a transport and deposition assessment of radioiodines captured by the cooling tower drift.

Response

An assessment of the quantity of radiciodines that may be captured by the cooling tower drift and its subsequent transport end deposition has been performed. This assessment leads to the conclusion that less than 0.1 percent of radiciodines leaving the process vent will be captured by drift and that the FSAR analysis of relative deposition (Section 2.3.5) due to gaseous emissions from the process vent is more conservative than that of drift deposition-of O-radioiodines. The details of this assessment are discussed below. The amount of radiciodines. that may be captured by cooling tower drift is proportional to the ratio of the drift volume to exit air volume leaving the tower. Based on a drift loss percentage of 0.05 of the circulating water flow and an exit air volume of approximately 35 x los. cfm at the design condition, this volume ratio is less than 1 x 10.s. Due to the turbulent flow characteristic of the cooling tower / process vent system interface, the contact time between the radioiodines and the drift droplets is unfavorable for sustaining a radioiodine-drift water reaction. Therefore, the maximum amount of radioiodines leaving the process vent and becoming suspended--in the drift droplets is estimated to be less than 0.1 percent of the total iodine released from this vent. It is assumed that once iodine becomes associated with a drift-droplet, it will remain with the droplet throughout its flight path. In order-to assess the transport and deposition of the very small amount of radioiodines that may be captured by the drift, the results of the existing salt drift modeling analysis (ER Section 3.6.9) were. adapated to produce values of normalized deposition rate (D/Q) similar to those in FSAR Tables 2.3-53 and 2.3-54. This was'done by dividing the predicated salt depositon amounts by the quantity. of solids leaving the cooling tower in~the drift. The. solids emission- ' rate was' determined from the drift rate-(0.05 percent of the O Amendment 5 QE451.5-1 March 1984-

BVPS-2 ER-OLS circulating water flow), the circulating water flow rate (507,400 gpm), and the concentration of dissolved solids in the water (412 ppm). This yields an emission rate of 458,278 lbs of salt per year which can be used to transform salt deposition (lbs/ acre / year) to values of D/Q (M.2). These D/Q values are indicative of how drift is transported and dispersed without considering the actual amount of radioiodines being emitted from the vent and captured by drift. The results of this dispersion analysis are presented in Tables E451.5-1 and 2 which give the highest D/Q values for both the annual-average and grazing season periods in each sector for the individual receptors (vegetable garden, milk cow, milk goat, meat animal, and residents), at the site boundary, and at the 10 radial population distances. These tables can be compared directly to FSAR Tables 2.3-53 and 54 which provide D/Q values for gaseous emissions from the process vent in the absence of cooling tower drift. Although two different meteorological data periods were used to generate these tables (1976 for drift D/Q values and 1976-1980 for gaseous D/Q values), year to year variation in meteorological parameters should not significantly affect the comparison of the magnitudes of the D/Q values. The analysis indicates that the magnitude of drift dispersion is scmewhat similar to gaseous dispersion as evidenced by the similarity of the two sets of D/Q values. The highest annual drift D/Q value is 3.75 x IO ' M.2 compared with a gaseous D/Q value of 1.10 x 10 s n.2, The major differences between the two kinds of D/Q values lie in their spatial distribution. The drift D/Q values at the closest set of distances (site boundary) are generally much smaller than the gaseous D/Q values. Although the different meteorological data periods may be responsible in part for the smaller drift D/Q values, the larger plume rise of the warm, buoyant cooling tower effluent, which carries the drift well above the top of the cooling tower before it begins to fall to the grrund, most likely accounts for most of these differences. Although drift D/Q values are higher than the gaseous D/Q values by small amounts, the maximum drift D/Q value for each set of distances is always less than the gaseous D/Q value l (except for grazing season value at 2,412 m). This fact, combined with the low percentage (<0.1 percent) of entrained iodine in the drift, leads to the conclusion that the FSAR analysis of relative deposition (Section 2.3.5) due to gaseous emissions from the process vent is more conservative than an assessment of drift deposition of radioiodines.

Amendment 6-1 of 1 May 1964

BVPS-2 ER-OLS NRC Letter: March 2, 1984 Question E290.7 Provide a scaled plan view sketch of the location of the transformers (main and auxiliary) and their firewalls. Mark on the drawing the distances between transformers and firewalls. Note also the height of the firewalls and height of the transformers. Construction layout drawings for the region around the main and auxiliary transformers are an acceptable alternative to the sketches since the detailed drawings should provide the same information.

Response

Figure E290.7-1 contains a detailed plot plan of BVPS-2 with the locations of the main transformer, the unit station service transformers, and the system station service transformers clearly identified. The figure also shows the locations of the auxiliary boiler building and an adjacent building housing offices and work shops which have recently been added to the BVPS-2 construction plan. The combined barrier effects of the added auxiliary boiler building and the BVPS-2 cooling tower will provide additional reduction of the main transformer noise levels. In addition, the operation of the BVPS-2 cooling. tower will also provide substantial masking of transformer noise. Figure E290.7-1 also shows the locations of the auxiliary boiler building and the BVPS-2 cooling tower relative to the location of the nearest resident at the intersection of Route 68 and Ferry Hill Road. Figures E290.7-2, -3 and -4 show the detailed arrangements of the transformer areas, including the locations of the firewalls. The heights and locations of the firewalls can be obtained from these drawings. Amendment 6 QE290.7-1 May 1984 L

'BVPS-2 ER-OLS ( NRC Letter: March 2, 1984 \\ Question E290.8 For all the transformers: a. Indicate the names of the' manufacturers,'the equivalent two-winding. ratings, the NEMA ratings, and the breakdown insulation levels (BIL). b. Indicate the type of cooling system. c. Indicate whether there is a three-phase transformer system, ' and, if so, whether each phase is in a separate tank. d. Provide the core tone sound power levels if available from the manufacturer. If not known, provide-the sound power level octave band spectra used in your noise analyses.

Response

Table E290.8-1 contains a summary of specific transformer information. Each transformer system is a three-phase system located in a single tank. The main transformer octave band sound power levels used in the noise analysis presented in ER Section 5.6.1 are s shown in Table E290.8-2. Only the main transformer was considered in the analysis since the NEMA sound level ratings of 'the other transformers. were-significantly lower and did not contribute to the overall operational noise levels at' the station. No. additional analysis was performed to evaluate the' transformer' tone levels. f (: . j-~s. ~( ) ~ Amendment '6 -QE290.8-1 -May:1984 .x 1 M 4y -

BVPS-2 ER-OLS NRC Letter: March 2, 1984 Question E290.9 Provide documentation on any noise complaints received during the operation of Unit 1 and any action taken.

Response

There has been only one noise complaint received during the operation of BVPS-1. This complaint was received in September 1983. Action was taken (volume lowered and speakers redirected) with a significant reduction in speaker sound levels off site. A followup phone call was held with the complaintant on October 6, 1983. He was satisfied with the results of the corrective action. O i' N -y Amendment 6 QE290.9-1 May 1984 5)2._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _}}
