3.0 Consistency Requirements j
3.1 Plant Design and Operation The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perform tests or experiments affecting the environment provided such activities do not involve an unreviewed environmental question and do involve a change in t-the EPP*.
Changes in station design or operation or per formance of tests or i
experiments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the requirements of this EPP. Activities governed by Subsection 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this Section.
{
Before engaging in additional construction or operational activitics which may i
significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity.
Activities are excluded from this requiremcnt if all measurable nonradiological environmental effects are confined to the onsite areas previously disturbed during site preparation and 4
j plant construction. When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a writt.,
evaluation of such acti ity and obtain prior NRC approval. When such activity v
l 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 Subsection 5.3 of this EPP.
A proposed change, test, or experiment shall be W. W to involve an 4
unreviewed environmental question if it concerns:
el' a matter which may i
result in a significant increase in any adverse m..onmental impact previously evaluated in the 8 a; in envircamental impact appraisals, or in 4
I any decisions of the Atomic Sateiy and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level; or (3) a matter, not previously reviewed l
3 i
and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may j
have a significant adverse environmental impact.
The licensee sha' intain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and riments carried out pursuant to this Subsection.
These records shall incluue written evaluations which provide bases for the determination 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 shasi include as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, j
and evaluations of such changes, tests, ard experiments.
3.2 Reporting Related to the NPDES Permit and State Certification i
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 chancs or renewal 1
is approv?d.
If a permit or certification, in part or in its ent nety, is i
appeale1 aad stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.
- This provision does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.
