SECTION 1 GENERAL

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This report is submitted in accordance with the Environmental Technical Specifications ( Appendix B to Operating Licenses DPR-70 a and DPR-75) for Salem Nuclear Generating Station. Included are the results of non-radiological environmental monitoring programs required by the Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS). The reporting requirements of Appendix B to Operating License DPR-70 became ef f ective on December 11, 1976, and those of Operating License DPR-75 on August 2, 1980, when the respective units reached initial criticality. Much of the equipment and resources utilized by Salem 1 are shared by Salem 2. Although differences in ETS reporting requirements for both units exist, no distinction is made for the purpose of assessing environmental impacts. This report covers Salem 1 and Salem 2 for the period from January 1 through December 31, 1985. i 1.2

SUMMARY

During 1985, Salem Unit 1 generated 9,007,510 megawatt-hours of net electrical energy, while Salem Unit 2 generated 5,017,008 megawatt-hours. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.3 of the Salem Unit 2 ETS, all 1985 recommended design changes were reviewed for i l potential environmental impact. None would involve a change in i the ETS if implemented or pose an unreviewed environmental j question. l l The New Jersey Department ot Environmental Protection (NJDEP) l issued a revised final New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES)/ Discharge to Surf ace Water (DSW) Permit Number l NJ005622 to Salem Generating Station on December 1, 1985. The final NJPDES/DSN permit imposes several additional monitoring requirements and contains items that the Company believes are excessively restrictive. Accordingly, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-8.6, a request was filed with the NJDEP, Division of Water Resources, for an adjudicatory hearing. No response has been i received to date. Both the NJPDES/DSW permit and the request for adjudication have been forwarded to the NRC in accordance with Section 5.4.1 of the Salem Unit 2 ETS. No changes to the other Salem environmental permits occurred in i 1985. i j i \\ 1 Page 4 of 16

Copies of monthly NJPDES Dicchargo Monitoring R0porto (DMRD) waro 2 submitted to the NRC for the year 1985. Construction of the non-radioactive liquid waste disposal system was completed and 1 Stage III Treatment Works Approval was received on May 30, 1985. The compliance date for discharge of the non-radioactive liquid waste disposal system was attained and notification was sent to USEPA on July 12, 1985. This item satisfied the final condition of the May 27, 1983, Consent Order between PSE&G and USEPA. l Eight environmentally related non-routine reports were submitted to the NRC during the 1985 year; six concerning the impingement l of Atlantic loggerhead turtles on the Circulating Water System (CWS) trash bars, and two concerning the impingement of Atlantic ] ridley turtles on the CWS trash bars. Five Atlantic loggerhead turtles and one Atlantic ridley turtle were found dead. In three cases the animal was freshly dead and resuscitation attempts proved unsuccessful. In all cases, the Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) was notified and the animals were transported there; the live animals were fed, observed for a few days, and released. Dead specimens were autopsied and disposed by MMSC. The proper authorities were notified of each event initially by telephone and written reports followed. 1 l

1.2 CONCLUSION

l No significant environmental impacts attributable to the operation of Salem Nuclear Generating Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2 were observed during 1985. The required biotic monitoring (i.e., diamondback terrapin and osprey studies) was conducted in accordance with the ETS. No significant changes in terrestrial ecology in the vicinity of the Salem Nuclear Generating Station were observed. I i 1 l l l l Page 5 of 16

1 SECTION 2.0 BIOTIC MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE PROGRAMS 2.1 DIAMONDBACK TERRAPIN NESTING STUDY (ETS Section 3.1.2.1.2.1) The study objective is to monitor nesting by diamondback terrapin at typical beaches in the vicinity of Artificial Island. Northern diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin terrapin, inhabit brackish water along the Atlantic Coast from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras. Nesting usually begins by early to mide-June and continues through July. Hatching usually begins in mid-to late August and may continue into November. Cold weather may cause the young to hibernate in or near the nest and emerge the following spring (Carr, 1952; Lawler and Musick, 1972). l In 1985, diamondback terrapin nesting activity was monitored at I two beaches on the Delaware River within 4.8 km of Salem during l the period May 31 through November 5. Nesting was recorded from j May 31 through mid-July and evidence suggests greatest activity j in late June through early July. The level of activity varied greatly between sites but remained within the range recorded I annually since 1975. Number of females estimated to utilize each beach was 408 at Liston Point beach and 20 at Sunken Ship Cove beach. Four females were marked at Liston Point beach and none were l marked at Sunken Ship Cove beach. Age of captures ranged from 15 years to well over 20 years. No previously marked turtles were recaptured. t l Hatchlings from current-year nesting typically occur from mid-August through September, but tracks of hatchlings from eggs j laid in 1985 were noted only on October 9 at Sunken Ship Cove beach. There was evidence of overwintered (1984) eggs hatching j in May and June 1985. l Track evidence indicated a similar assemblage of predators as recorded in previous years, with raccoon and red and/or gray fox accounting for most nest depredation. 2.1.1 Study Area l Observations were made from May 31 through November 5, 1985, at Sunken Ship Cove beach, New Jersey, and Liston Point beach, Delaware (Fig. 2.1-1). For a description of these locations see. Volume 2 of the 1977 Annual Environmental Operating Report (PSE&G, 1978). l Page 6 of 16 i i

2.1.2 Materials and Methods Searches for evidence of nesting were conducted during daylight i hours weekly from late May through August, bimonthly from September through October and once in November. Effort was made to minimize site disturbance and to allow females to finish nesting before being examined. 4 Nesting females were caught by hand, and the length and width of a the carapace and plastron were measured.. Each turtle was marked with an individual binary-code which consisted of holes drilled in one or more of the 10 post-dorsal marginal laminae. These plates are situated so that they can be easily drilled with little or no injury to the turtle. The marking program provides information on nesting-beach tidelity, growth and movements. For further description of the study methods see Volume 2 of the 1977 Annual Environmental Operating Report (PSE&G, 1978). l 2.1.3 Data Reduction 1 j The following formula was developed to provide a relative estimate of the number of nesting females (N) utilizing each site: (S+R-S) D 2 N= i 3V where S is the number of turtles sighted, R is the number of 7 pairs of tracks counted, D is the estimated number of days of nesting activity, 3 is the estimated mean number of nests laid per female during the nesting season (based on Hildebrand, 1932), and V is the number of times the beach das visited over the nesting period. j 2.1.4 Results and Discussion Nesting, as interred from the presence ce tracks, in 1985 at Sunken Ship Cove beach was first noted on May 31 and last noted on July 2 (see Table 2.1-1). At Liston Point beach, tracks were j tirst noted on May 31 and were last noted on July 18 (see Table 2.1-2). ) Nesting activity, also inferred from the number of tracks, varied l over time but generally was highest in late June through early 1 July. Daily and seasonal nesting activity remained within the i range recorded in previous years. l l The annual estimate of nesting terrapins was, as in previous years, higher at Liston Point beach, with 408, while at Sunken j Ship Cove beach it was 20. These estimates are, by nature of the program, conservative (low). i Page 7 of 16

Tha date collected on nsating activity ct Sunken Ship Covo b20ch is quito sparse. Sunken Ship Cove beach is a popular fishing spot and this activity probably disturbed normal nesting behavior and may have deterred some turtles from nesting. An indication of egg production at each site can be inferred from egg shell counts from depredated nests and counts of eggs from viable nests. A total of 421 nests were recorded during 1985; these contained approximately 3,347 eggs and/or remnants. Liston Point beach had the higher egg counts, with ca. 3,319 from 418 nests, while Sunken Ship Cove beach had ca. 22 from three nests. Depredated nests, which are much easier to detect than viable nests, accounted for 99.5 percent of the observed nests at Liston Point beach and 0 percent at Sunken Ship Cove beach. Track evidence in 1985 indicated an assemblage of predators similar to previous years. At Liston Point beach, raccoon, l Procyon lotor; red fox, Vulpes fulva and/or gray fox, Urocyon cinereoargentous were common. Raccoon and Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus were common at Sunken Ship Cove beach. Other probable hatchling predators include gulls, Larus spp.; crows, Corvus spp. and herons (Ardoidae). 1 Four terrapins were marked with binary-codes, all at Liston Point beach. All captures were female, with mean carapce longth and width of 17.8 cm and 14.2 cm, respectively, and mean plastron length and width of 16.1 cm and 9.3 cm, respectively. The youngest female was approximately 15 years old; the oldest appeared well in excess of 20 years. Exact age determination of older specimens is dif ficult since the ridged annuli on the carapace scutes becomo less distinct with ago. Eventually, the shell becomes completely smooth which may indicate age to perhaps 40+ years (Ilildebrand, 1932). A total of eight sets of hatchling tracks were noted from May 31 to October 9; I at Liston Point beach and 7 at Sunken Ship Cove beach. The hatchling tracks noted on May 31 at both beaches and on June 7 at Sunken Ship Cove beach came from overwintered eggs probably laid late in the 1984 nosting season (Tables 2.1-1 and 2.1-2). One set of hatchling tracks was noted on October 9 at Sunken Ship Cove which came from eggs laid during the 1985 season. No hatchling tracks were found at Liston Point beach from nests made during 1985. Page 8 of 16

2.2 OSPREY AND BALD EAGLE SURVEY ( ETS S:ction 3.1.2.1.2.2) The study objectives are to record the occurrence of osprey and bald eagle and to monitor nesting of osprey in the vicinity of Artificial Island. The North American osprey, Pandion haliaetus carolinensis, had been federally classified as " status undetermined" (USDI, 1973) but has since been deleted from the list. It was listed as endangered by the State of New Jersey but has been down-listed to threatened in 1985 (NJAC 7:25-4.17 as amended May 6, 1985). The State of Delaware does not include osprey on its Endangered and Threatened species list ( DE DNREC 1981). The southern bald eagle, Halacetus leucocephalus leucocephalus, is federally classified as " endangered" (USDI, 1979). Osprey were observed in the study area from March 22 through September 26. Fourteen nests were occupied, 12 of which fledged a total of 23 young. Due to the absence of bald eagle nesting in the study area, no special study program was established. Records were kept of sightings, which in 198 5 totaled 16. 2.2.1 Study Area Observations were made at and in the vicinity of actual and potential osprey nesting sites in the general area shown in Figure 2.1-1. The region extends roughly 16 km north, 13 km south, and 8 km east and west from Salem Generating Station. The area features bay, riverino, marsh, upland field and wooded-habitats. Duck blinds, pilings, navigation range markers and powerline towers are common features. 2.2.2 Materials and Methods Known osprey nests were observed by helicopter monthly in March, April, May, July and September and twice in June. During flights the area was surveyed for new osprey nesting sites. The numbers of adults and eggs or young in each nest were recorded. To avoid undue stress on the birds, the helicopter approached to a discrete distance (>50 yds) from the nest and paused only briefly to allow the nest to be viewed with binoculars. Bald eagle sighted during the course of osprey nesting flights were recorded. Sightings of osprey and bald eagle were also recorded in the course of other field work throughout the year and are included in this report. Page 9 of 16

2.2.3 R;culta rnd Dircuenion In 1985, osprey were sighted in the area from March 22 through September 26, typically on or near nesting structures. The number of sightings of adults per day was greatest in April (n=27) at the height of the nesting season. Seventeen nests were located; 14 were occupied and appeared active, one was occupied by a nesting great horned owl with 2 young, while the remainder may have been constructed as housekeeping nests by sexually immature birds or as secondary nests by adjacent breeding adults (Table 2.1-3). Of the total number of nests, 15 were in electrical transmission-line towers, one was in a navigational rangelight tower and one was in a dead cedar tree (Figure 2.1-1). Of the 14 active nests, it is estimated that 12 were successful and fledged a total of 23 young. This compared with 12 fledged in 1984, 13 fledged in 1983, five fledged in 1982 and six fledge in 1981. The number of osprey fledged in 1985 represents a near two-fold increase of 1984. This is the most young observed to fledge in a single year since the survey began in 1974. Prior to 1985, the most young fledged in a season was 16 in 1979. A total of 16 bald eagle sightings were made from April through August 1985; all were observed along the Delaware shore (Table 2.1-4). Sightings were made in each month with most in June (6) and August (5). Bald eagle were sighted at a total of five locations from the Smyrna River Jetty area north to a beach just south of Silver Run ( Fig. 2.1-1). Most sightings were of bald eagle perched in trees along the Delaware River and upper Bay shoreline, while on two occasions eagles were also observed soaring over marshy areas just inland. All but one of the sightings were of a mature bird. The number of bald eagle sightings in 1985 was the largest in a single year since reporting began in 1971 and approached the cumulative total of 22 for the period 1971-1984. Page 10 of 16
