1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of nonradiological environmental values during operation of the nuclear facility.
The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:
(1)
Verify that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the Final Environmental Statement - Operating License Stage (FES-OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments.
(2)* Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other -
Federal, State and local requirements for environmental protection.
(3) Keep NRC informed of the environmenal effects of facility construction and operation and of actions taken to control those effects.
Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.
1-1
2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL dated January,1983, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of the two unit Catawba 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 specific aquatic issues were raised by the NRC staff in the FES-OL.
Aquatic issues are addressed by the effluent limitations, monitoring require-ments contained in the effective NPDES permit issued by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
The NRC will rely on this agency for regulation of matters inv'olving water quality and aquatic biota.
2.2 Terrestrial Issues (1) Detection of possible changes in or damage to local flora caused by drift deposition due to the operation of the Catawba Station Cooling Towers.
(FES-OL Section 5.5)
(2) A short-term confinnatory program to quantify ambient and operational-phase noise levels and necessary mitigative measures, if any, in the 2-1
vicinity of noise assessment locations 1 and 3.
(FES-OLSubsections 5.12and5.14.4)
NRC requirements with regard to terrestrial issues are specified in Section 4.2 of this EPP.
2.3 Atmospheric Issues A comparison of the results of the preoperational fog monitoring progam, with the results of the operational fog monitoring program, is needed to determine the, frequency and intensity of ground fog induced by plant operation, parti-cularly at the nearby residential community located about 1.6 km east of the station on the eastern shore of Lake W' lie and at the municipal airport located y
about 8 km south of the station and about 3 km south of Lake Wylie.
NRC requirements with regard to atmospheric issues are specified in Section 4.2 of this EPP.
l 2-2
3.0 Consistency Requirements 3.1 Plant Design and Operation The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perfonn tests or experiments affecting the environment provided such activities do not involve an unreviewed environmental question and do not involve a change in the EPP*.
Changes in station design or operation or perfonnance of tests or exper.iments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the requirements of this EPP.
Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this Section.
Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity.
Activities are excluded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environmental effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction.
When the evaluation indicates t' hat such activity involves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activity and obtain prior NRC approval.
When such activity involves a change in the EPP, such activity and change to the EPP may be implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in Section 5.3 of this EPP.
- This provision does not relieve'the licensee of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.
3-1
l A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns:
(1) a matter which may result in a
~
significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the 9
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level or (3) a matter, not previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.
The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and,of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Subsection.
These records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the detennina-tion that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question or constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to meet the objectives specified in Section 1.0.
The licensee shall include as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests and experiments.
3.2 Reporting Related to the NPDES Permit and State Certification Changes to, or renewals of, the NPDES Permit or the State certification shall be reported to the NRC within 30 days following the date the change or renewal is approved.
If a permit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is appealed and stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.
3-2
The licensee shall notify the NRC of changes to the effective NPDES Pemit proposed by the licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the'same time it is submitted to the permitting agency.
The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES Permit at the same time the application is submitted to the permitting agency.
3.3 Changes Required for Compliance with Other Environmental Regulations Changes in plant design or operation and performance of tests or experiments which are required to achieve compliance with other Federal, State, and local environmental regulations are not subject to the requirements of Section 3.1.

4.2.2 Sound Level Surveys Surveys shall be conducted to quantify the ambient (i.e., background) and the operational sound levels that exist at various locations around the site.
The ambient sound level survey shall be conducted, to the extent practicable, during the time period when significant outdoor construction activity has ended, but prior to normal operation of the facility (preoperational phase),
so that measured sound levels are not significantly affected by onsite activities associated with the power plant.
The operational sound level l
4-2
surveys shall be conducted as soon as practicable during the operational phase of the facility, when the cooling towers are operating with their design water flow rates.
Surveys shall be conducted for both one unit normal operation and again for two unit normal operation.
4 For each of the surveys, sound level data shall be collected at several sites, the hxact number and location to be selected by the licensee after consideration of (1) existing onsite and nearby offsite noise sources and barriers; (2) noise sensitive land uses in the site vicinity (e.g., residences, schools, churches, cemeteries, hospitals, parks); and (3) previously conducted noise surveys in the site vicinity.
~
Each survey shall include data collecte3 from each sampling site during the
[
time of year when foliage of deciduous trees is present and also from the time of year when such foliage is largely absent.
Data collected from each sampling site shall encompass both the dayti6e and the nighttime periods.
Sampling shall include the identification of pure tones, if any, emanating from plant equipment during the operational phase.
The selection, calibration and use of equipment, conduct of the surveys, and the analysis and reporting data shall conform to the provisions of the applicable Anerican National Standards Institute Standards.

The results of the surveys conducted under this program shall be summarized, interpreted and reported in accordance with Section 5.4.1 of this EPP.
The results shall include, for each sampling location for each survey, the daytime and nighttime equivalent sound levels, the background and intrusion sound levels (i.e., the L and L10, respectively), and the range of sound levels 90 recorded. A description of the ' pure tones found, if any., and their sources shall also be included in the results.
The final report of this program shall present'a brief assessment by the licensee of the environmental impact of plant operation on the offsite acoustic environment, and shall describe the proposed mitigative measures, if any, to be taken to reduce the impact of' plant noise leveTs on the offsite environment.
This report shall also contain a list of noise-related complaints or inquiries received by Duke Power Company concerning the Catawba Nuclear Station subsequent to issuance of the operating license along with a description of the action taken by Duke Power Company to resolve these complaints or inquiries.
This program shall terminate upon completion of the collection of the specified sound level data for each phase and submission of an acceptable final report.
4.2.3 Fog Monitoring Monitoring of fog at selected locations shall be conducted for the period beginning with the startup and continued operation of Unit I and concluding one 44 J
y
-o year after.startup and continued operation of Unit 2.
Visfometer and surface water. temperature measurements shall be conducted at the following.two locations:
Location 1, about 800m north of the cooling towers; and Location 2, about 250m south of the cooling towers. These locations should coincide wjth the locations for visiometer measurements during the preoperational fog monitoring program 9
conducted during the period August 10, 1977-August 9, 1979.
In addition to the visiometer measurements at the locat; ions described above, daily fog observations shall be conducted by security or other. trained personnel near visiometer location 2 and by trained personnel at the Wylie-Hydro Station (located about 6 km east-southeast of the nuclear power station) as during the preoperational monitoring program.
Using the criteria developed for the preoperational monitoring program, when atmospheric conditions ar'e conducive to the formation of steam fog, meteorologists or other trained personnel shall conduct qualita-tive observations of the horizontal and vertical extent of the fog, as well as transport of the fog off the lake.
A monitoring program consisting of visio-meter measurements or qualitative observations shall be conducted at the residential community located about 1.6 km east of the nuclear power station on the eastern shore of Lake Wylie and at the municipal airport located about 8 km south of the nuclear power station and about 3 km south of Lake Wylie. At the conclusion of the monitoring period (one year after the startup and con-tinued operation of Unit 2), a report shall be submitted as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (discuss'ed in Section 5.4.1 of this EPP) containing the following information:
