2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ISSU1ji In the FES-OL dated September 1981, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.
Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment.
2.1 Aquatic-Issues No aquatic issues were identified in the FES-OL.
Effluent limitations and monitoring requirements are' contained in the effective NPDES permit issued by the Mississippi Departinent of Natural Resources.
The NRC will rely on this agency for regulation of these matters as they involve water quality and aquatic biota.
2.2 Terrestrial Issues (1)
Poitntial erosion along transmission line corridors during and immediately following their construction.
( 2 ) -~ Potential' impact of cooling tower drift _ on vegetation surrounding the sites.
In the FES the staff recommended an aerial remote sensing program.
The applicant opted to do a more detailed surveillance program.
NRC requirements with regard to the terrestrial issues are specified in Subsection 4.2 of this EPP.

by the aerial surveys, and walking patrols will be directed to the problem areas to evaluate the extent of the problem to be corrected, The Erosion Control Inspectisn Prog iall begin upon commencement of normal transmission line inspecticn procedures, Semi-annual surveys shall continue until stabilization of soil and vegetation (i.e., ground cover establishment) is achieved.
i A summary of the field inspection program and any procedures implemented to control abnormal erosion conditions associated with transmission line maintenance activities shal', be reported in the Annual Environmental Operation Report in accordance with Subsection 5.4.1, Field logs indicating locations of erosion damage and measures taken to rectify erosion problem areas and estimation of the time 'o achieve effective stabilization will be maintained and available for inspection for a period of five yaars.
Results reported shall contain information encompassing but not limited to inspection date, estimated size of erosion problem area, probable cause of erosion, type of stabilization program, and date of effective stabilization, as appropriate.
4.2.2 Coolina Tower Drift Proaram Seven sampling sites were utilized to measure cooling tower drift-deposition.
At least two of the sampling sites had duplicate sampling devices.
Six of the seven sites were located in areas where maximum salt deposition was predicted.
These areas were extrapolated from the Bechtel Salt Deposition Model developed for the GGNS Final Environmental Report.
The seventh sampling site was a I
control-site located south of Raymond, Mississippi. An eighth offsite control site was added in 1985 in Port Gibson, Mississippi, Tallout samples were collected on a quarterly basis and analyzed for ten specific constituents.

analysis were submitted to the NRC's Environmental Ensineering Branch for review and approval prior to plant operation above 5% power. An evaluation of the
[
results.of the Cooling Tower Drift Program indicated that the operation-of the GGNS cooling sower produced no statistically significant effect upon the salt deposition raf e for those chemical species evaluated, lhe cooling tower drift program was therefore terminated.
