"PSE&G has completed the implementation of the Salt Drift Monitoring Program to assess the impacts of cooling tower salt drift on the environment in the HCGS vicinity.
Results of the study were submitted to the NRC in a report entitled " Operational Summary Report for Hope Creek Generating Station Salt Drift Monitoring Program, January 1987 to March 1989."
This report was submitted on October 10, 1989 (NLR-N89201).
Results of the study indicate that onlv minor, localized effects of cooling tower dritt deposition are M0p occurring.
Higher deposition rates potentially 7
attributable to the cooling tower were measured at only one location, which is on station property at a distance of 0.4 km southeast of the cooling tower.
The 2
salt deposition rate at this site is 113 mg/m / month, which is well below the deposition levels that have been reported to cause vegetative damage of 10.000 2
mg/m / year.
Hope Creek Generating Station is surrounded by extensive areas of tidal salt marsh and the nearest uplands are located approximately three 1
miles to the east, therefore no significant adverse impacts will occur as a result of cooling tower operation.
PSE&G has satisfied the commitments under this requirement. No further monitoring is required."
