SUMMARY
The Annual Environmental Operating Report (AEOR) provides information and data obtained from implementation of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station's (GGNS) Environmental Protection Plan (EPP), Appendix B to the GGNS Operating License (NPF-29), which only requires terrestrial issues to be addressed, for the period January 1 through December 31,1998.
The GGNS Final Environment Statement did not identify any aquatic issues.
Consequently, the EPP does not address any. The GGNS National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit issued by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) contains effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for aquatic matters. The MDEQ regulates matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.
This report addresses only those issues required by the EPP. In the past, the AEOR included activities associated with the GGNS Construction Permit, and an Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) requirement which involved reporting regional and perched groundwater levels and precipitation data in the AEOR. However, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved cancellation of Construction Permit CPPR-119 for Unit 2 on August 21,1991 (GNRI-91/00176), and GGNS deleted the UFSAR AEOR reporting requirement in 1993 (GNRI-93/00025); therefore, GGNS terminated reporting activities associated with these items.

L avr 1.0 ' INTRODUCTION j
1.1 Impact AsseHm#nt and Summarv GGNS personnel monitored the environmentalimpact of plant operational activities between January 1 and December 31,1998. The monitoring results contained in the following sections indicato no adverse impact on i
the environment due to operation of GGNS. In adoition, GGNS personnel have not observed harmful effects or evidence of trends toward irreversible damage to the surrounding environment at GGNS.
2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES 2.1 Transmission Line Survevs GGNS discontinued this program in 1988.
2.2 Coolina Tower Drift Proaram GGNS discontinued this program in 1992.
2.3 Environmental Evaluati_pra The EPP permits changes in GGNS design or operation and performance of tests or experiments that affect the environment, provided they do not involve a change in the EPP or an unreviewed environmental question.
However, EPP requirements do not apply to changes, tests or experiments which do not affect the environment. Also, EPP requirements do not relieve GGNS of 10 CFR 50.59 requirements, " Changes, Tests and Experiments," which address the question of safety associated with proposed changes, tests and experiments.
. env-wnVAf0R9804
The EPP excludes changes, tests or experiments from the evaluation:
- If all measurable environmental effects cc,nfined to onsite areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction, or
- If required to achieve compliance with other federal, state or local requirements.
3.0 OBSERVATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS 3.1
