1.0 Obje,ctives of the Environmental Protection Plan The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of non-

. rddiological environmental values during operation of the nuclear facility.

The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:

I i

(1) Verify that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable

!~

manner, as established by the Final Environmental Statement - Operating Licensing Stage (FES-OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments.

[ _ __ _

(2) Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal,

[

State and 1.ocal requirements for environmental protection.

t i

(3) Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility construction and of actions taken to control those effects.

l

> IV :.

~

Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.

2.0 Envi,ronmental Protection Issues

.n Iri the FES-OL dated December,1984, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of Millstone Nuclear Power S,tation, Unit No. 3.

No environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure ade-quate protection of the environment.

3.0 Cons,istency Requirements

, 3.!1 Plant Design and Operation 4

1 l

The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perform tests

!'i or experiments affecting the environment provided such activities do not in-1 I

volve an unreviewed environmental question and do not involve a change in the

I EPP*.. Changes in station design or operation or performance of tests or ex-pdriments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the require._

l ments of this EPP. Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the l

requirements of this Section.

i

,I il Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which

~

may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and re-cord an environmental evaluation of such activity. Activities are excluded

[.

from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environmental effects __

are confined to the onsite areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction. When the evaluation indicates that such activity in-

! L volves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a This provision does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of

~+

10 CFR 50.50.

3-1

P written eval,uation 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

.adsetforthinSection5.3ofthisEPP.

A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question it it concerns:

(1) a matter which may result in a I

i significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in_the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the 6m-I 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 f

documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.

I-The licensee shal1 maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These

~

N

- records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the deter-mination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed i

environmental question or constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to meet the objectives specified in Section 1.0.

The licensee shall in-clude as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (pre Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests and experiments.

f 3.2 Reporting;Related to the NPDES Pemit and State Certification l

i

  • Cdanges to, or renewals of, the NPDES Pemits or the State certification shall be reported to the NRC within 30 days following the date the change or' renewal is approved.

If a pemit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is ap-pealed and stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.

I h The licensee shall notify the NRC of changes to the effective NPDES Pemit

j proposed by the licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the same time it is submitted to the pemitting agency. The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES Pemit at t

the same the application is submitted to the pemitting agency.

4.0 Environmental Conditions

.l' 4J1 Unusual or Important Environmental Events Any occurrence of an unusual or important event that indicates or could result in significant environmental impact causally related to plant operation but not included in the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72, shall be recorded and reported to the NRC within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> followed by a written report per Sub-

  • l section 5.4.2.

The following are examples: excessive bird impaction events, I~

ons'ite plant or animal disease outbreaks, mo.tality or unusual occurrence 6f any species protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, fish kills, in-crease in nuisance organisms or conditions, and unanticipated or emergency i

discharge of non-radioactive waste water or chemical substances.

No routine monitoring programs are required to implement this condition.

4.2.1 Aquatic Monitoring The certifications and permits required under the Clean Water Act provide mechanisms for protecting water quality and, indirectly, aquatic biota. The NRC will rely on the decisions made hy the State of Connecticut, under the authority of the Clean Water Act, for any requirements for aquaticmonitoring.

5.0 Administrative Procedures

  • 5.51 Review The licensee shall provide for review of compliance with the EPP. The reviews shall be conducted independently of the individual or groups responsible for perfoming the specific activity. A description of the organ:zation structure

{

utilized to achieve the independent review function and results of the review l

activities shall be maintained and made available for inspection.

f i

i 5.2 Records Retention Records and logs relative to the environmental aspects of station operation 6

I shall be made and retained in a manner convenient for review and inspection.

.?

4 Records of modifications to station structures, systems and components deter-mined to potentially affect the continued protection of the environment shall l

be retained for the life of the station. All other records, data and logs re-lating to this EPP shall be retained for five years or, where-applicable, in accordance with the requirements of other agencies.
