INTRODUCTION This 2019, Environmental Station is submitted by required under Section Protection Plan (EPP).
Operating Report for the North Anna Power Virginia Electric and Power Company, as 5.4.1 of Appendix B,
Environmental The objective of the EPP is to verify that the North Anna Power Station is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, consistent with NRC and other
- federal, state and local requirements as well as to keep the NRC informed of any environmental effects of facility construction or operation.
During 2019, no significant adverse environmental impacts occurred as a result of the operation of North Anna Power Station, Uni ts_ 1 and 2.
Aquatic issues are addressed in the licensee's. VPDES permit (number VA 0052451) issued hy the Virginia State*.Jvater Control Board. The VPDES permitting program is administered by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the NRG relies on this agency for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.
Listed below are the summaries and analyses required by Subsection 4.2 of the EPP.
PLANT DESIGN AND OPERATION (SECTION 3.1)
A review of all changes in station design or operation, tests and experiments did not find any potentially, significant, unreviewed, environmental issues.
EROSION CONTROL INSPECTION -
SITE (SECTION 4.2.2.1)
Performance of Periodic Test Procedure, 1-PT-9.3: Erosion Control Inspection-Station Site, and 0-PT-75.12: Visual Inspection of the Service Water Reservoir Dike Crest and Toe, were completed by the Civil/Design Engineering Department. Six (6) areas of concern were identified during the performance of 1-PT-9.3 and one (1) area of concern was identified during the performance of 0-PT-75.12.
The areas identified in both PT's were minor erosion issues. Two
( 2) of the areas identified were due to drainage concerns where there were drainpipes or drainage areas that needed cleaning out.
The areas that were identified as having drainage concerns were near the Security Training building, and a culvert pipe northwest Page 2 of 4

of the switchyard. There were two (2) issues of animal burrows at the ISFSI, which needed to be filled in. There was one (1) area identified which needed vegetation control. The area identified was the east slope on the discharge canal. There was one (1) area identified where the discharge riser at the ISFSI stormwater retention pond was damaged and had to be repaired. There was one
( 1) area identified where vegetation control was needed on the rip-rap slopes of the Service Water Reservoir All issues identified were entered into the station's corrective action system and work orders have been assigned. Four (4) of the issues have already been corrected. All issues identified were minor erosion issues that did not adversely impact site erosion control measures, or station operation.
Construction activities for a third ISFSI pad began in April 2018 and were completed in November 2019. All work was performed in accordance with the VAR-10 construction permit.
Stormwater controls were installed and maintained in accordance with; the accompanying construction stormwater pollution prevention*'.;_** plan
( SWPPP). During construction, there were no instances,. of *failed stormwater inspections or non-compliance with the construction permit. A Notice of Termination (NOT) of the construction permit was submitted to the VA DEQ on November 10th, 2019, after the construction project was completed. The stormwater controls of the ISFSI area were then incorporated into the station's SWPPP.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PROGRAM CORRIDOR RIGHTS-OF-WAY SECTION 4.2.2.2)
During 2019, all transmission line rights-of-way were patrolled to coordinate brush and tree work needed for maintenance of the lines. This work involved the following:
North Anna-to-Gordonsville corridor: The patrol did reveal minor vegetation issues that needed work. Maintenance vegetation activities were completed on 08/10/2019. No significant erosion and sedimentation issues were observed.
North Anna-to-Morrisville corridor: The patrol did reveal vegetation issues that needed work. Herbicide applications began on 08/31/19 and ended on 09/05/19. No significant erosion and sedimentation issues were observed.
