1.0 Introduction This document is the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS)

Annual Environmental Operating Report ( AEOR) for 1985.

It is submitted in accordance with Section 4.5.1 of the Oyster Creek Environmental Technical Specifications (OCETS).

The OCNGS is a single cycle, forced circulation, boiling water reactor of 620 MWe maximum (summer) dependable net capability, owned by Jersey Central Power a Light Company and operated by GPU Nuclear Corporatinn.

The OCNGS is located in Lacey Township, Ocean County, New Jersey.

The plant is subject to Provisional Operating License No. DPR-16 pursuant to Docket No. 50-219. The date of initial reactor criticality was May 3, 1969 and the commercial generation of power began on December 23, 1969.

This AEOR covers the period from January 1,1985 through December 31, 1985. The report is organized such that Sections 2.0 and 3.0 correspond to those same sections in the OCETS.

However, due to differences in the required reporting dates of various studies conducted in accordance with the OCETS, reports of those studies have been or will be submitted under separate cover and will not be duplicated in this report.

In each of these instances, a confirmation of the filing of the required reports is provided in the appropriate section of the AEOR. All data which are otherwise required to be presented in the AEOR are included in this repo rt.

2.0 Environmental Monitoring i

This Section of the AE0R outlines the urtous environmental monitoring programs to be conducted under Section 2.0 of the OCETS, and provides the status of submission of reports on these various programs. The reporting requirements of the studies required in Section 2.0 do not coincide with the required due'date of the AEOR.

Meteorological data are contained in the Semi-Annual Effluent Release Reports which were submitted on August 30, 1985 with addendum dated November 4,1985 covering the first six (6) calendar months of 1985 and on March 1,1986 covering the last six (6) calendt months of 1985.

These data are therefore incorporated by reference into this AEOR and are not duplicated here.

2.1-Biotic - Aquatic Section 2.1.1 of OCETS specifies the following studies:

a)

Impingement of Organisms 1.

Conventional Traveling Screens 2.

Fish Return System b)

Fish Kill Monitoring Program In addition to the above noted studies perfomed in accordance with OCETS Section 2, studies requested by USEPA and NJDEP were perfomed during the 1985 report period in support of the OCNGS Section 316 (a a b) Demonstration. As noted in our July 6,1984 letter, the OCETS Section 2 and additional Section 316 Demonstration studies would be coordinated. Since the additional Section 316 study schedule is somewhat different than the OCETS Section 2 study schedule, the estimated submission date for all data will be the end of May,1986 for the'198S report period rather than March,1986 as would nomally be required by OCETS Section 2.

There were no reportable fish kills during the report period so a separate Fish Kill Monitoring Program report will not be filed for the report period. Any supplemental infomation regarding the Fish Kill Monitoring Program will be included in the above noted May, 1986 report.

3.0 Special Monitoring and Study Activities This Section of the AEOR presents the results of the two special monitoring and study activities required by Section 3 of the OCETS.

3.1 Woodborer Monitoring Program This program has reporting requirements which are different from the other DCETS programs.

During the reporting period the following submittals were made:

a)

The 39th Quarter Report covering the period from November 1, 1984 to January 31, 1985 was submitted on March 14, 1985.

b)

The 40th Quarter Report covering the period from February 1, 1985 to April 30, 1985 was submitted on June 18, 1985 c)

The 41st Quarter Report covering the period from May 1,1985 to July 31, 1985 was submitted on September 27, 1985, d)

The 42nd Quarter Report covering the period from August 1, 1985 to October 31, 1985 was submitted on December 10, 1985.

In addition, as per the OCETS, an annual report for the Woodborer Monitoring Program will be submitted by the end of May 1986.

Therefore, no results of this program are presented herein.

3.2 Unusual or Important Environmental Events There were no occurrences of unusual or important environmental events during this reporting period.

d __

4.0 Additional Information This Section of the AEOR reports any additional information that is required by Section 4.5.1 of the OCETS:

a)

All OCETS non-compliances and the corrective action taken to remedy them.

b)

Changes made to State and Federal permits and certificates which pertain to the requirements of OCETS.

c)

Changes in station design which could involve an environmental impact.

d)

Changes to the OCETS.

4.1 Summary of OCETS Non-Compliances There were no Non-routine Environmental Operating Reports filed with the NRC during this reporting period.

However, included as Attachnent I are copies of non-compliance reports submitted to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection during this reporting period for non-compliances with l

NJPDES Pennit No. NJ 0005550.

These permit non-compliances were i

minor in nature and did not result in a significant impact to public health or the environment.

4.2 Summary of Changes Made to Federal and State Permits And Certificates Which Pertain to the Requirements of OCETS There were no changes to Federal or State permits and certificates which impacted on the OCETS during the reporting period.

i However, on October 8,1985 the New Jersey Department of l

Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued an amendment to OCNGS NJPDES Permit No. 0005550 to include a discharge to groundwater from the hardcoal filter backwash infiltration pit.

The amendment l

was effective January 1,1986.

l 4.3 Summary of Changes in Station Design Which Could Involve an Environmental Impact a)

A stainless steel intake test screen was installed in 1985 to

, test whether intake screens should be replaced with new stainless steel screens to reduce screen maintenance downtime. Test results indicated that screen replacement would reduce screen maintenance downtime and screen replacement for all intake screens is planned. This l

modification when completed should have a positive environmental impact.

4.4 Summary of Changes to the OCETS Amendment No. 83 dated May 30, 1985 to the DCETS authorized changes to marine woodborer exposure panels sites No. 8, 9 and

16. These changes were requested due to tampering and vandalism of the exposure panels in their locations prior to Amendment No. 83. Exposure panel locations appear on Table 3-1 pages 3-5 and 3-6 of the OCETS.

Relocation of exposure panels were as follows:

a)

Site No. 8: Relocated from R.R. Bridge Crossmember - Oyster Creek R.R. Bridge - Discharge Canal to Bulkhead - 1500 ft.

East of Oyster Creek R.R. Bridge-Discharge Canal, b)

Site No. 9: Structure to be used for suspension rack changed from R.R. Bridge Crossmember to Metal Pier.

c)

Site No. 16: Relocated from Berkely Yacht. Basin, J. Street, Seaside Park, N.J. to Bayside Boats, State Highway f35 and Bay Boulevard, Seaside Park, N.J.

Noncompliance with item 9b(1)b, page 4 of the pennit.

CAUSE OF NONCOMPLIANCE:

The circulating water discharge-intake temperature difference exceeded 23.00F.

DESCRIPTION OF NONCDHPLYING DISCHARGE:

As a result of severe icing and low water level at the intake structure, the volume of condenser cooling water being taken in was reduced.

This condition, even with all circulating water pumps in operation, ctused the 230F delta temperature limit to be exceeded from 0845 to 1030 hours0.0119 days 0.286 hours 0.0017 weeks 3.91915e-4 months ,1145 to 1245 hours0.0144 days 0.346 hours 0.00206 weeks 4.737225e-4 months , and 1315 to 2245 hours0.026 days 0.624 hours 0.00371 weeks 8.542225e-4 months .

The maximum delta temperature recorded was 24.30F.

DURATION OF NONCOMPLIANCE:

Total time 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months 15 minutes.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TO REDUCE THE NONCOMPLYING DISCHARGE:

Upon identification of the noncompliance, station personnel worked throughout the day to try and clear the ice from the intake structure in an effort to prevent restriction of circulating water flow in order to bring the delta temperature within the permit limit.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TO PREVENT RECURRENCE:

N/A. As recognized by condition 1S(3) of the permit circumstance beyond the control of the permittee may arise in which effluent limitations are exceeded.

as was the case with the severe icing and low water level at the intake structure.

Initial Telephone Date of Rep;rt Date: February 5,1985 Occurrence: January 22, 1985 REPORT OF NONCOMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS OF NJPDES PERMIT NO. NJ 000 5550 REPORT NUMBER 000 5550/85/02 IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE:

Noncompliance with item 9b(6)b, page 6 o'f the permit.

cal,SE OF NONCOMPLIANCE:

The discharge-intake temperature difference of the cooling water of the Aupented Offgas (A0G)-New Radwaste (NRW) System exceeded the permit limit of 270F. The temperature was 30.10F.

DESCRIPTION OF NONCOMPLYING DISCHARGE:

As a result of the heat load from the New Radwaste System, coupled with the availability of only one heat exchanger and one evaporator for operation, and i

with one heat exchanger out of service for maintenance conditions beyond the permittee's control prevailed; the delta temperature limiting condition was exceeded.

DURATION OF NONCOMPLIANCE:

The duration of the incident could not be determined.

l CORRECTIVE ACTION:

As stated in our March 1,1984 letter, the major heat load on the A0G-NRW discharge is the New Radwaste System; and that there will be instances in which compliance with the 270F delta temperature would not be attainable.

l Consequently, the station will operate the A0G-NRW System as efficiently as l

possible without causing damage to any of the system components.

Noncompliance with item 1, page 2 of the pemit.

CAUSE OF NONCOMPLIANCE:

The discharge of any pollutant not authorized by the pemit constitutes a violation of the tems and conditions of the permit.

DESCRIPTION OF NONCOMPLYING DISCHARGE:

4 During a sampling procedure it was detemined that the level of the Turbine i

Building Closed Cooling Water Chemical Addition Tank was too high which would not allow the addition of new material to the tank.

Consequently, fifteen (15) gallons of diluted Drewgard 4109 (Sodium borate) with a concentration of 176 ppm was inadvertently discharged to the discharge canal, instead of being pumped into the Turbine Building Closed Cooling Water System or to Radwaste per the nom.

In this instance, drainage from the Chemical Addition Tank was emptied into the 1-5 sump which drains into the 30" header with the terminus of its discharge into the discharge canal.

DURATION OF NONCOMPLIANCE:

Unknown, however less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months .

l CORRECTIVE ACTION TO REDUCE THE NONCOMPLYING DISCHARGE:

The discharge occurred before corrective action could be taken.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TO PREVENT RECURRENCE:

Valve V-29-1, wnich controls the drainage flow from the Chemical Addition Tank to the 1-5 sump, has been tagged to restrict use of the valve and cannot be operated without management authorization to do so.
