IITrRODUCTION The ecology of York IInven Fond near the Three Mile Island Nucicar Station (TMINS) has been under investigation since February 1974.

Studies initiated in April 1974 include analysis of arbient water quality, ichthyoplankton (far-field), ichthyoplankton entrainment, macroinvertebrates , fish population dynamics, impingement of fishes, creel survey, and thermal plume capping.

This report discusses the progress of investigations conducted in March 1983.

2 COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (ETS)

Objective: To determine compliance with the nonradiological (aquatic) environmental monitoring programs specified in sections 3.1.1.a. (4), 3.1.2.a. , 4.2, and 4.6.1 of the ETS and to insure that said programs are performed as detailed in the Generation Procedures Manual.

Progress: Compliance with all programs specified in the ETS and detailed in the Procedures Document was achieved in March (Table 1).

1 A program by program summary of the progress for March follows.

MACR 0 INVERTEBRATES Objectives: To describe the diversity and distribution of the benthic cacroinvertebrates occurring at the five benthos sampling stations in the vicinity of TMINS.

Progress: Replicate (4) benthos sampics were taken on 14 and 28 March (Table 1). Enumeration, determination of dry weights, and identification of specimens have been completed through 14 March.

The section for the annual report was' completed and submitted for review.

ICHTHYOPLANKTON Objectives: (1) To determine the species composition, abundance, and distribution of ichthyoplankton in York Haven Pond; and (2) To investigate ichthyoplankton entrained at TMINS Unit 1 and 2 Intakes.

Far-Field Progress: Gear was inspected for the start of the 1983 sampling season in April; repairs and/or adjustments were made where necessary.

Entrainment Progress: The section for the annual report was completed and submitted for review.

3 Gear was inspected for the start of the 1983 sampling season in April; repairs and/or adjustments were made where necessary. The TMINS Unit I and 2 Intake suction bays were examined to facilitate sampling.

TRAPNET Objectives: (1) To determine the distribution and relative abundance of fishes in the Three Mile Island area vulnerable to trapnet; (2) To provide specimens for movements studies; (3) To monitor the occurrence of diseased fishes; (4) To provide specimens for radiation analysis; and (5) To determine reproductive status for fishes throughout the year.

Progress: Samples were taken on 7-9 and 28-30 March (Table 1).

Nineteen fish of eight species were taken on 7-9 March (Table 2). The rock bass was most abundant and comprised 42.1% of the catch. One brown bullhead, one channel catfish, and six rock bass were tagged. Two previously tagged rock bass were recaptured. One channel catfish and one rock bass were parasitized by leeches. No fish were taken in the 8-9 March collection at Station 11A3.

Seven fish of six species were taken on 28-30 March (Table 3). High river stages (> 1.80 m) reduced sampling ef ficiency; nets at Stations 11A2 and 11A3 rolled and were swept inshore. Two rock bass were tagged.

One white catfish was parasitized by a leech. No fish were taken in three collections.

SEINE Objectives: (1) To determine the species composition of fish upstream and downstream of the TMINS Discharge vulnerable to seine; (2) To determine the relative condition factor for important species; and (3) To determine the reproductive status for fishes throughout the year.

r ,

4 Progress: Collections were taken at the 10 stations on 7 and 24 Fhrch (Table 1). A total of 10,714 fish of 12 species was taken on 7 lbrch (Table 4). Most fish (5,764) and greatest biomass (730.3 g) occurred at Station.13B5, while most species (9) were taken at 10A2. The spotfin shiner was the most abundant species at all stations and comprised 99.3% of the catch. Glochidia parasitized 217 spotfin shiner, 8 swallow-tail shiner, 7 mimic shiner, 5 bluegill, 4 rock bass, 3 bluntnose minnow, l I

3 pumpkinseed, 3 tesse11ated darter, 2 redbreast sunfish, I comely shiner, {

and 1 banded killifish. Eighty-three spotfin shiner exhibited slight black spot infestations. Six spotfin shiner and one bluntnose minnow were j pugheaded. One female tessellated darter was gravid.

Collections taken on 24 March yielded 916 fish of 10 species (Table 5).

Sampling efficiency at all stations was reduced due to the high river stage (2.69 m) and increased amount of debris along shore. Most fish (342) and greatest biomass (70.2 g) occurred at Station 16A1; most species (5) were recorded at 13B5 and 10B5. The spotfin shiner was the most abundant species at all stations except 16A5 and comprised 97.5% of the catch.

Glochidia parasitized 101 spotfin shiner, 2 pumpkinseed, 2 bluegill, 1 spot-tail shiner, 1 swallowtail shiner, and 1 rosyface shiner. Fifty-eight spotfin shiner and one bluntnose minnow exhibited slight black spot l

infestations. Seventy-six spotfin shiner exhibited various degrees of pugheadedness.

No pattern of parasite infection or anomaly was observed with respect to the location of TMINS in collections taken on 7 or 24 March.

IMPINGEMENT OF FISH Objectives: (1) To determine the numbers and species impinged on the river water intake screens; (2) To determine day-night differences in

'. 5 impingement frequency; and (3) To determine the extent of mortality of impinged fish.

Progress: Impingement surveys were conducted on 17-18 and 29-30 March at the TMINS Unit 1 and 2 Intakes (Table 1). Unit 1 impinged 5 fish of 4 species weighing 66.7 g (Tables 6 through 9). Most fish were young and dead. More fish were impinged at 2000 h than during any other survey period. Fish numbers and biomass were highest during the 17-18 March and 29-30 March surveys, respectively. The estimated impingement for Unit 1 in March was 78 fish weighing 1,033.8 g (2.3 lb).

Unit 2 impinged 8 fish of 2 species weighing 16.0 g (Tables 10 through 13). Most fish were young and half of the total were dead. Fish numbers and biomass were highest during the 29-30 March survey. The estimated impingement for Unit 2 was 124 fish weighing 248.0 g (0.5 lb).

The total estimated impingement at TMINS in March was 202 fish weighing 1,281.8 g (2.8 lb).

The section for the annual report was completed and submitted for review.

ELECTROFISHING Objectives: (1) To provide specimens for radiation analysis and movements studies; and (2) To determine the relative abundance of fishes vulnerable to electrofishing in various parts of York Haven Pond.

Progress: Electrofishing was conducted on four nights in March (Table 1). Twenty-four collections in 12 zones yielded 455 specimens of 17 species (Table 14). The pumpkinseed (150 specimens), walleye (80),

and rock bass (70) were most abundant. A total of 70 fish was tagged for movements studies.

The section for the annual report was completed and submitted for review.

6 -

i MOVEMENTS OF FISHES j Objective: To determine if fishes in waters receiving the TMINS effluent mix with fishes from other areas.

Progress: A total of 80 fish was tagged and seven previously tagged fish were recaptured in March. Recaptured fishes included the channel catfish (1 specimen), rock bass (3), smallmouth bass (1), and largemouth bass (2). The channel catfish moved 0.3 km downstream. One rock bass moved 0.3 km upstream; the other two were recaptured in the same areas in which they were tagged. The smallmouth bass did not move.

One largemouth bass moved 0.8 km upstream; the other was recaptu:ed in the same area in which it was tagged.

CREEL SURVEYS Objectives: (1) To determine the extent and success of sport fishing; and (2) To determine information on angler residence and use of catch.

Progress: Creel surveys were conducted in all areas on 8, 13, 26, and 31 March (Table 1). The 133 anglers interviewed fished 127.17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> and caught 29 fish (Tables 15 through 18). The actual harvest was 12 fish or 41.4% of the total catch. The mean catch per effort (c/e) was 0.23. Most anglers (49) fished in the General Reservoir. The largest total catch (14), most fish kept (9), and most hours fished (46.93) were recorded at the York Haven Generating Station; however, the highest c/c (1.03) was recorded at the West Dam.

The walleye (16 specimens) was the predominant species caught.

Approximately 85% of the anglers interviewed lived in York or Dauphin counties. Most anglers reported that they eat some of their catch.

The section for the annual report was completed and submitted for review.

\

y AMBIENT WATER QUALITY Objective: To determine concentrations of selected water quality parameters in ambient river areas and the'TMINS effluent.

Progress: Water quality samples were collected on 14 and 28 March at the five river stations (Table 1). Data are currently being analyzed; results will be presented in the April progress report.

The water quality samples collected on 28 February have now been analyzed; results are presented in Table 19. Values for pH and sulfate were highest at Station 1A1 (upstream of the TMINS Discharge); turbidity was highest at 1A2. Values for alkalinity and dissolved copper (11A1),

total dissolved solids (11A2), and water temperature and total copper (9B1) were highest at stations located at or below the Discharge.

Parameters, for which State water quality criteria have been established, were not exceeded at any station on 28 February.
