1.0 Objectives of the Envirencental Protection Plan The Environmental Prctection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of nonra:iological envireneental values during operation of the nuclear fa cil i ty., The principal objectives of the EPP are as fo11cws:  !

t i '

.'(1} Veriff that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable s manner, as estabitshed by the Final Environmental State ent Operating l

License Stage (FES OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments. ,

l (2) Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State and local requirements for environ ental protection.
