Amendment No.: 56, 66, 107 1
INTRODUCTION The bases, which provide technical support for the OCETS, are included for informational purposes in order to clarify the intent of the specification.
These bases are not part of the OCETS nor do they constitute limitations or requirements on the licensee.

4 11 Amendment No.: 66, 107 O
O 1.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 1.1 Nonradiological Monitoring 1.1.1 Biotic - Aquatic A. Fish Kill Monitoring Program Objective l
The objective of this program is to determine the species composition, abundance and distribution of station-induced fish kills due to winter shutdowns.
L:
Specifications After each Station shutdown, when the intake water temperature is below 8.5 C (47.3 F), visual inspections for fish shall be made along the shores of the discharge canal and the lower reaches of Oyster Creek within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the initiation of the shutdown in accordance with the procedures prepared by the licensee per Section 3.4.
A continuous temperature record shall be maintained through the 24-hour period after reaching cold shutdown.
1 -1 Amendment No.: 56, 66, 107
O Reporting Requirements For planned shutdowns with the temperature of the intake 0
water below 8.5 C (47.3 F) the NRC Region I office will be notified at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> in advance of such shutdown.
This notification shall not be given for unplanned, automatic, or manual station trips.
If the shutdown results in greater than 100 fish killed and/or stressed, this event shall be reported to the NRC in accordance with Section 3.5.2.
The results of this program shall be included with the Annual Environmental Operating Report submitted in accordance with section 3.5.1.
L:
Bases The Fi.dl Environmental Statement for the Oyster Creek ~
Nuclear Generating Station documents cold shcck fish kills associated with rapid temperature decreases caused by plant shutdown during the winter.
1-2 Amendment rio.:66,107
i.
Station shutdowns during winter months are, on occasion, i navoidable. Due to the physical configuration of the station and the discharge canal, some nnrtality to organisms may be experienced during winter shutdowns.
Mortality infonnation associated with a winter shutdown will provide the empirical bases on which to judge the impact of these fishkills on Barnegat Bay, Oyster Creek, and Forked River.
d 1-3 Amendment No.: 66, 107 l
l
i 2.0 SPECIAL MONITORING AND STUDY ACTIVITIES 2.1 Unusual or Important Environmental Events Environmental Monitoring Requirement Unusual or important events are those that cause potentially significant environmental impact or that could be of public interest concerning environmental impact from station operation. The following are examples: on-site plant or animal disease outbreaks; unusual mortality of any species protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973; fish kills in the vicinity of the site; unusually high impingement mortality episodes.
Action Should an unusual o{. 'important event occur, the licensee shall make a r
non-routine prompt report to the NRC in accordance with the provisions of l
Subsection 3.5.2.
Bases Prompt reporting to the NRC of unusual or important events as described above is necessary for responsible and orderly regulation of the nation's system of nuclear power reactors. The information provided may be useful or necessary to others concerned with the same environmental resources. Prompt knowledge and action may serve to alleviate the magnitude of the environmental impact.
2-1 Amendment No.: 66, 107 l

3.0 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS This section describes administrative and management controls established by the Applicant to provide continuing protection to the environment and to implement the environmental technical specifications.
3.1 Responsibility Corporate responsibility for implementation of the Oyster Creek Environmental Technical Specifications and for assuring that plant operations are controlled in such a manner as to provide continuing protection of the environment has been assigned by the Office of the President to the Vice President and Director Oyster Creek.
The responsibility for conducting the studies as set forth in Section 1.1 (Non-Radiological Monitoring) and all of Section 2.0 (Special Monitoring and Study Activities) rests with the GPUNC Industrial Safety &
L:
Environmental Controls Director.
Administrative measures are defined in Section 3.3 which provide that the l
individual or group responsible for auditing or otherwise verifying that an activity has been correctly performed is independent of the individual or group responsible for performing the activity.
3.2 Organization The organization of the personnel responsible for implementation, audit, and review of the OCETS is shown in Figure 3-1.

3.3 Review and Audit l
Independent audit and review functions for environmental matters are the responsibility of the GPUNC Industrial Safety & Environmental Controls 1
Director. This department reports directly to the Vice President and l
Director Radiological & Environmental Controls and is independent of line responsibility for the operation of the plant. The independent reviews and audits of the OCETS will be carried out by personnel from the Environmental Controls Department or by other personnel from GPUNC, GPUSC, outside contractors or consultants at the request of the 1
Environmental Controls Department.
i
]
When individuals in the Environmental Controls Department of GPUNC perfom any function relating to the OCETS other than independent audit and review, the Vice President and Director of Oyster Creek will ensure l
6:
l that an independent review and audit of that work is perfomed by another individual in the Environmental Controls Department or some other who is not directly responsible for the specific activity being reviewed and audited.
r The audits and reviews will be performed as required or requested but in no case less than yearly. The results of all reviews and audits will be documented in report directly to the Vice President and Director Oyster Creek.

3.5.3 Change in Environmental Technical Specifications A.
A report shall be made to the NRC prior to implementation of a change in plant design, in plant operation, or in procedures described in Section 3.4, only if the change would have a signif'icant adverse effect on the environment or involves an environmental matter or question not previously reviewed and evaluated by the NRC. The report shall include a description and evaluation of the changes and a supporting benefit-cost analysis.
3-7 Amendment No.: 56, 66, 107 l
E.
t B.

The Request shall include an evaluation of the environmental impact of the proposed change and a supporting benefit-cost analysis.
C.
Changes or additions to required Federal, and State permits and certificates for the protection of the environment that pertain to the requirements of OCETS shall be reported to the NRC within 30 days.
In the event that the licensee initiates or becomer aware of a request fer changes to any of the water quality requirements, limits or values stipulated in any certification or pennit issued purusant to Section 401 or 402 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (PL 92-500) which is also the subject of an OCETS reporting requirement, NRC shall be notified concurrently with the authorizing agency.
The notification to the NRC shall include an evaluation of i- :
the environmental impact of the revised requirment, limit or value being sought.
If, during NRC's review of the proposed change, it is determined that a potentially severe environmental impact could result from the change, the NRC will consult with the authorizing agency to determine the appropriate action to be taken.
3-8 Amendment No.:56, 66, 107
3.6 Records Retention 3.6.1 Eighty (80%) percent data recovery annually for each l
environmental monitoring requirement is considered satisfactory for the purposes of the OCETS. The variability and uncertainty of environmental conditions demand allowance for some missed data in order to preclude an excessive reporting burden. This provision for missed data does not permit deliberate omission of sample collection or analyses but rather is meant to cover data missed due to circumstances beyond the control of the licensee, its representative or subscontractor.
Records of the reasons for all missed data shall be retained with the data reports.
3.6.2 Records and logs relative to the following areas will be retained for the life of the plant.
A.
Records and drawings detailing plant design changes made to systems and equipment as described in Section 3.5.3.
B.
