SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION This Preoperational Summary Report presents the results of Woodward-Clyde Consultants (WCC) investigations conducted for Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) under Purchase Order PI-128433. These investigations were conducted in accordance with WCC's proposal dated April 16,1984 for performing a salt drift monitoring program for the Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) in Salem County, New Jersey. The monitoring program was developed pursuant to Conditions No. 5 and No.17 of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory. Commission (NRC) Construction Permit No. CPPR-120 issued to PSE&G for the HCGS. The NRC
~
permit conditions for HCGS require a preoperational and operational monitoring program to determine salt deposition rates resulting from operation of the station's hyperbolic natural draft cooling tower. The report is subdivided into 7 sections as follows: Section 1 - Introduction Section 2 - Salt Deposition Studies Section 3 - Native Vegetation Studies Saction 4 - Soil Studies Section 5 - Summary and Conclusions Section 6 - Recommendations Section 7 - References Sections 2,3, and 4 present the results of salt deposition, native vegetation, and soil studies, respectively. Correlations with other environmental factors (e.g., weather data) are also evaluated in each of these sections. Section 5 summarizes and presents conclusions of these three sections. Section 6 presents recommendations for the operational monitoring program. CN87-050-1 1-1 83C4351-8
SECTION 2 SALT DEPOSITION STUDIES
2.1 INTRODUCTION
~
A year-round sampling program was conducted to determine the monthly sodium !(Na+), chloride (Cl-), water insoluble -particulate, and water soluble particulate (i.e., total dissolved solids) deposition rate: in the vicinity of the HCGS - over the period 1984 through 1986. While thece are no recognized - standardized methods or procedures for determination of atmospheric salt deposition rates, deposition rates of dustfall in air poilution studies have been determined for many years with the use of dustfall samplers. These samplers are static collectors which have been used as part of the Interstate Air Pollution Surveillance Program Effects Network originally operated by the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Division of Air Pollution (3utze, et al.,1967; Cavender, et al., .1971). A standardized method for use of dustfall collectors, including sampling and analysis, has been adopted by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and is designated as Method D-1739. This method was utilized and is designed to measure particulates settling from the atmosphere which are considered settleable particulates. The sampling sites for salt deposition collectors were-selected based on a review of the results of the dispersion modeling for salt deposition rates from the HCGS cooling tower. This model utilized January through, December 1977-meteorology data from the site,1977 Delaware River salinity data, and HCGS cooling tower input data as described in the PSE&G Applicant's Environmental Report-Operating License Stage for the HCGS. Additional site selection considerations included site accessibility, site security, free exposure,- and avoidance of potentiallocal sources of sample contamination. CN87-050-2 2-1 83C4351-8 i

A total of eight sites were initially selected for salt deposition monitoring. The locations are generally situated along a transect extending east of the HCGS cooling tower at approximate distances of 0.4 km,1.5 km, 4.0 km, 5.5 km, and 8 km; along a transect extending northwest from the cooling tower at approximate distances of 0.3 km and 0.5 km; and at the Shirley Control Site, Site 8, located 27 km northeast of the site. For the purpose of estimating sampling variance, one co-located (replicate) collector was also placed at each of the 0.4 km and 1.5 km locations on the eastern transect. In May of 1986, an additional collector was placed at a distance of 0.8 km southeast of the cooling tower. This collector was installed because of inconsistent data obtained from the co-located samplers situated 0.4 km from the cooling tower. In this way, an additional measure of deposition in the potentially high impact area was provided. The sampling locations are shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2 (the Shirley Control Site) and listed in Table 2-1. Detailed site descriptions are provided in the following paragraphs. Included is a diagram of each site area indicating the approximate location of each collector. These are presented in Figures 2-3 to 2-11. Site No.1. This site is located approximately 0.5 km from the HCGS cooling tower along a bearing of 303 (I) (Figure 2-3). The area surrounding the site is primarily fill material which is vegetated with various herbaceous pioneer plant species. Dense stands of Phragmites australis occur to the north, while barren fill occurs to the south. The Delaware River shoreline lies approximately 500 ft to the west. Site No. 2. This sample site is located approximately 0.3 km from the HCGS cooling tower along the same bearing as Site No.1,303 (Figure 2-4). The area to the north is recently deposited / graded fill material. The sample site occurs along the southern boundary of this area. A sedimentation pond is located immediately southeast of the site. (1) Bearings given in Figures 2-3 through 2-11 are from the site to the cooling tower, and thus differ from the bearings given in this section by 180 . CN87-050-2 2-2 83C4351-8
Site No. 3. This site is located approximately 0.4 km from the HCGS cooling tower along a bearing of 95 , which corresponds to the northwest corner of the PSE&G Nuclear Department Administration Building roof (Figure 2-3). Two samplers are located at this site. Site No. 4. This site is located approximately 1.5 km from the HCGS cooling tower along a bearing of 117 , which corresponds to the PSE&G meteorological tower site (Figure 2-6). Two samplers are located at this site. Site No. 5. This site is located near Tower 3/1 of the Salem-New Freedom transmission line, approximately 4.0 km from the HCGS cooling tower along a 0 bearing of 104 (Figure 2-7). The area surrounding the site is tidal wetlands, with the HCGS access road located approximately 300 f t to the south. The actual site is in an area vegetated with Spartina patens. Site No. 6. This site is located within the Mad Horse Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA) approximately 5.5 km from the HCGS cooling tower along a bearing of 92 (Figure 2-8). The area surrounding the site is primarily open agricultural land, with mature woodlands occurring to the east. Site No. 7. This site is located along the Salem-New Freedom transmission line right-of-way approximately 8 km from the HCGS cooling tower along a bearing of 85 (Figure 2-9). The area to the west of the site is open Phragmites australis wetlands and open waters of Silver Lake Meadow. Site No. 8. This site is located approximately 27.5 km from the HCGS along a , bearing of 68 (Figure 2-10). The site it within the PSE&G materials storage yard along the Salem-New Freedom transmission line, near the Town of Shirley. Site No. 9. This site is located approximately 0.8 km from the HCGS cooling tower along a bearing of 137 (Figure 2-11). The area surrounding the site was previously used as a laydown area.

The salt deposition sampling system utilized for this study consisted of three major components. The three major components are the dustfall collector, collector holder and bird ring assembly, and stanchion system. A diagram of this sampling system is presented in Figure 2-12. Each component is discussed separately in the following paragraphs. Dustfall Collector The sampling device utilized for determination of dustfall and salt deposition is a dustfall collector as described in ASTM method D-1739-70. The collector (Bel-Art Products Stock Number H17205)is an open-topped cylinder with vertical sides and flat bottom. Each one-gallon capacity removable cylinder is 6 in. in diameter and 12 in. high. ASTM specified collector dimensions are based on minimizing potential for dust reentrainment associated with aerodynamic effects. The collectors are made of polyethylene and include lids which snap on to prevent contamination after cleaning as well as during transportation to and from the laboratory. Collector Holder / Bird Ring Assembly The dustfall collector is placed in a holder (Research Appliance Company Model No.190-12) to secure in place and ensure proper positioning during sample collection. A bird ring is integrated into the holder, which is designed to minimize the effects of birds perching on the rim of the collector while in p! ace. The collector holder and bird ring assembly utilized are constructed of aluminum and in accordance with ASTM specifications. Stanchion System The stanchion system to support the collectors was developed by WCC. Supports were required which would be durable and stable for a long period of CN87-050-2 2-4 83C4351-8
time, and also be suitable for mounting in some of the areas with extremely soft marsh ground conditions. The stanchion is constructed of 3/4 NPT pipe and is fastened together with various combinations of slip-on pipefittings with allen set screws. The fittings used are called Kee Klamps and are manufactured by Kee Industrial Products, Inc. (Buffalo, NY). The stanchions are supported by four pipes which are driven into the ground approximately 3 ft. For sites in which pipes could not be driven into the ground, a modification is used where the stanchion is mounted on wood planks. Salt deposition sampling collection for Sites 1 through 8 began in August 1984 and continued through December 1986. Sampling at Site 9 began in May 1986. Af ter being in the field for a one-month period, each sampler was analyzed in the laboratory to determine the amount of Na+, Cl~, total dissolved solids (TDS), and particulates which had been deposited within it during the sampling period (2). The results were then expre: sed as deposition rates in units of mg/m2/ month. These data are presented in Appendix A and are summarized in Table 2-2. This table shows the minimum and maximum deposition rates reported for each of the four parameters at each of the nine sites. In addition, mean monthly deposition rates on an annual basis are also shown in this table for each site. These values were calculated using the two complete years of data (1985 and 1986). Deposition rates shown in Table 2-2 for Sites 3 and 4 are averages of the two co-located samplers at each of these sites. As indicated in Table 2-2, monthly Na+ deposition rates ranged from a low of 2 10.4 mg/m / month to a high of 513.7 mg/m2 / month. Monthly Cl deposition rates 2 ranged from 9.1 to 594.8 mg/m / month. Particulate and TDS deposition varied considerably throughout the study period, ranging from 11 to 5,419 mg/m2/ month and 124 to 12,937 mg/m2/ month, respectively. (2) Laboratory methods are provided in Appendix D. CN87-050-2 2-5 83C4351-8
A variety of statistical analyses were performed on the data to evaluate seasonal trends, spatial trends, and correlations with meteorological data from the site. Because Site 9 had limited available data, it was not included in these analyses. The results of the analyses are presented in the following sections. 2.2 SEASONAL TRENDS In order to evaluate seasonal trends in deposition, average monthly deposition rates were calculated for each month at each site using data from all three years of the study. Mean monthly deposition rates for Na+, Cl , particulates, and TDS are presented in Tables 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6, respectively. As indicated in Tables 2-3 to 2-6, maximum deposition of Na+, Cl , particulates and TDS generally tends to occur in the warmer months. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the data to determine if seasonal differences in monthly deposition at each site are statistically significant. The resulting " seasonal F-ratios" are shown in Tables 2-3 to 2-6. For Na+, Cl , and TDS, seasonal variations in deposition are not significant at any of the sites. There were, however, significant seasonal differences in monthly deposition of particulates at Sites 6,7, and 8. As indicated in Figures 2-1 and 2-2, these sites are located farthest from the HCGS, with Site 8 being the control site. Multiple-range tests (MRT) were used to group those months in which particulate deposition at Sites 6, 7, and 8 was not significantly different at the 0.05 level of significance. Tukey's MRT was used for Sites 7 and 8. Duncan's MRT was used for Site 6 because Tukey's test was not sensitive enough to distinguish any differences at this site. The results of this analysis are presented in Tables 2-7, 2-8, and 2-9 for Sites 6,7, and 8, respectively. In these tables, months are listed in order of decreasing average particulate deposition with lines indicating values which are not significantly different. CN87-050-2 2-6 83C4351-8
1 As indicated in Table 2-7, the highest deposition of particulates at Site 6 occurred in the months of April, May, June, and August. At Si+ 7, highest deposition rates also occurred in these months. At the control s'?e (5u 8), the highest deposition of particulates occurred from March to June .s.d +.le m. nths of August and September. In conclusion, deposition rates of Na+, Cl , and TDS did not vary significantly throughout the year at any of the sites. Particulate deposition rates varied significantly throughout the year only at Sites 6, 7, and 8. At these sites, particulate deposition was significantly higher in the spring and summer months. 2.3 SPATIAL TRENDS Mean mcnthly deposition rates at each of the sites for the three years of the study are presented in Tables 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6 for Na+, Cl , particulates, and TDS, respectively, as described in Section 2.2. As indicated in Tables 2-3 to 2-6, deposition of all four parameters tended to be highest at Site 3, particularly in the case of particulates and TDS. Sodium depcsition rates at Site 8 (the control site) also tended to be high. An ANOVA was performed on the data to determine if, on a monthly basis, sites differed significantly in deposition rates. The resulting " spatial F-ratios" are shown in Tables 2-3 through 2-6. For Na+, Cl , and TDS, spatial variations in deposition are not significant in any month. However, particulate deposition does vary significantly by site in the months of January, March, April, ;Iuly, September, October, and November. Tukey's MRT was used to determine which sites were not significantly different with respect to particulate deposition during the above months. Table 2-10 presents the results of this analysis. Site 3 was consistently in the group with the highest deposition rate. This higher deposition rate at Site 3 may result in part from the location of the collectors on the roof of a building or the proximity to dirt / gravel parking areas. CN87-050-2 2-7 83C435 t-8 1
In conclusion, deposition rates of Na+, Cl , and TDS did not vary significantly at the eight sites in any month. Particulate deposition rates did vary significantly in 7 months. Site 3 generally had the highest deposition rates. 2.4 CORRELATIONS BETWEEN DEPOSITION RATES AND METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS In order to evaluate what effect meteorological conditions have on deposition, meteorological data for Artificial Island were compiled from the on-site meteorological tower for the study period. Data collected include monthly joint distributions of the 300-ft wind speeds and directions, total monthly precipitation, and average monthly dew point temperature, relative humidity, and 33-ft temperature. In order to evaluate correlations with wind speed, the percent of time wind speeds exceeded 25 mph each month was determined. In evaluating wind direction during the preoperational period, the goal was to determine if winds coming off the brackish water of the Delaware Bay had an effect on deposition. Thus, a calculation was made of the percent of time each month that winds came from off the water. Each of the meteorological factors was correlated with deposition at each of the sites to determine if any relationships existed. Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficients were calculated and tested for significance at the 0.01 and 0.05 levels. Tables 2-11, 2-12, 2-13, and 2-14 present the results of this analysis for Na*, Cl , particulates, and TDS, respectively. The most consistent correlation was that between precipitation and both Na+ and Cl . Each of these tables is discussed briefly below. 2.4.1 Sodium Na+ was significantly positively correlated with precipitation at the 0.01 level at 5 sites (Sites 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8). Na+ deposition was correlated CN87-050-2 2-8 83C4351-8 l
significantly at the 0.05 level with dew point temperature, humidity, and temperature at only one site each. No other significant correlations were found. 2.4.2 Chloride Cl was significantly positively correlated with precipitation at the 0.05 level or above at all eight sites. No other significant correlations were found between Cl deposition and meteorological conditions. 2.4.3 Particulates As indicated in Table 2-14, significant correlations between particulate deposition and meteorological conditions were not consistent among sites. Particulate deposition was significantly positively correlated at the 0.05 level or above with temperature at three sites, dew point at two sites, and southwest winds at one site. Particulate deposition was significantly negatively correlated with humidity and precipitation at one site each. 2.4.4 Dissolved Solids Few significant correlations were found between TDS deposition and meteorological conditions. TDS deposition was significantly positively correlated with dew point at two sites and with temperature and precipitation at one site each. CN87-050-2 2-9 83C4351-8

SECTION 3 NATIVE VEGETATION STUDIES i
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Salt marsh and open water areas occur over much of the area surrounding the HCGS, with the nearest stands of woody vegetation occurring along the marsh / upland border approximately 6 km to the east. The occurrence of wooded areas is sparse even within an area extending up to 12 km from HCGS. Most of this land beyond the salt marsh / upland interface is either agricultural or other wetlands (e.g., Phragmites australis) which have been created as a result of water i flow controls (e.g., diking) which were implemented as part of an effort to manage these areas as muskrat habitat. Isolated small uplands also occur southeast of the site within the salt marsh, but none of these are closer than those along the marsh / upland border. The native vegetation study conducted as part of the salt drift monitoring program involved the collection and analysis of foliage from several tree species
- common in the vicinity of the HCGS. Locations at which native vegetation was i
collected in the vicinity of HCGS over the period of study were selected based upon the predicted salt deposition rates, the distribution of woodland areas, the availability of suitable woody species in these areas, and accessibility. Foliage was sampled at two locations in the site area as well as a control location near the Town of Shirley, New Jersey. These locations are shown in Figures 3-1 and 3-2 and identified as follows: Location No. Location Name i Mad Horse Creek 2 511ver Lake Meadow 3 Shirley Control CN87-050-3 3-1 83C4331-8
i i i ! The species sampled were as follows: ! Black CherryII ) Blackgum j Flowering Dogwood i Loblolly Pine j Pin Oak ' i Sassafras i Sweetgum These species were selected primarily on the basis of their distribution at each of j the sampling areas. Black cherry, blackgum, pin oak, and sweetgum are present at j all three sample locations. All species except loblolly pine occur at the two ; locations in the vicinity of HCGS. Flowering dogwood was also included because j previous studies have shown this species to be fairly salt-sensitive. Loblolly pine ; l was selected as a representative of coniferous species. Brief descriptions of the I vegetation at each of the locations sampled are provided belows i i
- i
! Mad Horse Creek Location. The Mad Horse Creek location (which corresponds to deposition sampling Site 6) is situated within the New Jersey { Department of Environmental Protection's Mad Horse Creek Wildlife Management ! { Area (WMA). This WMA contains the largest block of woodlands occurring in the j l Immediate HCGS area (i.e., within 8 km). A variety of woody species occur in l } these woodlands, with the following being components over much of the areas i < l (!) Common names from the Society of American Foresters (1980). See Table 3-1 for scientific names. CN87-030-3 3-2 83C43518
Overstory Understory , 1 Pin Oak American Holly White Oak Dangleberry Sweetgum Southern Arrowwood Blackgum Sassafras Black Cherry Flowering Dogwood Red Maple Black Cherry Two sample co!!ection sites (IA and IB) were established at this location. Location I A is situated along the northern boundary of the WMA within a portion of the woodland dominated by deciduous trees (Figure 3-3). Location IB is within a stand of conifers which occurs approximately I km to the south-southeast. Silver Lake Meadow Location. The Silver Lake Meadow location (which corresponds to deposition sampling Site 7) is situated along the southern edge of the Salem-New Freedom transmission line right-of-way approximately 8 km from HCGS. To the west, the site adjoins Silver Lake Meadow-a Phragmites australis dominated wetland /open water area which is separated f.om the adjoining salt marsh areas by a dike system and has been managed for many years as muskrat habitat. A wooded strip extends along the southern edge of the right-of-way. Like the Mad Horse Creek location, a variety of woody species occur in this
- woodland, including the following
Overstory Understory Pin Oak Flowering Dogwood Sweetgum Sassafras Blackgum Black Cherry Southern Arrowwood Dangloberry 1 CN87-050-3 3-3 83C4351-8
The actual sample site is located near the exposed westernmost portion of the strip (Figure 3-4). Shirley Control Location. The Shirley Control location (which corresponds to the air sampling control Site 8) is located adjacent of PSE&G's materials storage yard near the Town of Shirley, approximately 17 miles northeast of HCCS. A wooded block extends from the south edge of the storage area on the Daretown-Deerfield Road toward New Jersey Route 77. This woodland is wetter 1 than the sampling sites in the vicinity of HCGS and supports a less diverse assemblage of trees and shrubs. Those present include the following: Overstory Understory Sweetgum Dangleberry Pin Oak Southern Arrowwood Black Cum Black Cherry The sampling site is located along the northern portion of this woodland (Figure 3-5). Foliage of black cherry, blackgum, pin oak, and sweetgum was sampled at all j three locations. Flowering dogwood and sassafras were sampled only at Mad florse Creek and Silver Lake Meadows while loblolly pine was sampled only at Silver Lake Meadow. Sampling was limited for these species because comparable foliage was not available at all locations. Figures 3-6,3-7,3-8, and 3-9 show the distribution of sample trees at sampling Locations I A, IB,2, and 3, respectively. Foliage sampling was initiated during the summer of 1984. Samples were collected during August, September, and October of that year. In 1985 and 1986, samples were collected monthly from May through September. CN87-050-3 J-4 83C43SI-8 i
i f Foliage from three trees of each species were sampled at each location to (
- provide a measure of species variability. Each sample was then analyzed in the
{ laboratoryI2) to determine the concentrations of Na+ and Cl* present. These data j are presented in Appendix B and summarized in Tables 3-2 and 3-3 for Na+ and Cl-l respectively. For purposes of analysis, the three concentrations (i.e., for 3 trees } at each location) for each sampling event were averaged together to provide a
! single representative concentration. Tables 3-2 and 3-3 show minimum and j maximum values for Na+ and Cl* over the 1984 through 1986 study period by J species and location. In addition, mean monthly foliar concentrations on an annual l basis are also shown in this table for each site. These values were calculated j using the two complete years of data (1985 and 1986). Because of the potential ,
] for seasonal variability in the 1984 samples, these data were excluded from the ' l computation of annual means. ! l l
) 3.2 SPECIES REl.ATIONSHIPS I Analyses of foliage from the seven species sampled indicate that species differences in Na+ and Cl content exist. Discussions of these differences are provided in the following sections.
t : I a 3.2.1 Sodium i 1 The mean species concentrations of Na+ in foliage collected during 1985 ! through 1986 are shown in Table 3-2. An ANOVA was performed on this data to 4 determine if differences in follar Na+ concentrations among species are statistically significant. The results indicate that the differences are significant ; at the 0.05 level of significance. To evaluate these species differences, data for ' j individual sampling locations were tested for algnificance using Tukey's MRT. ] These analyses (presented in Tab!c 3-4) indicate that only two significant j dif ferences exist among the species sampled - loblolly pine (637.5 ppm) is higher in i j j (2) Laboratory methods are provided in Appendix D. I ! CN87-050-3 3-5 83C4351-8
I Na+ content than all other species, and black gum (137.2 ppm) is higher than sweetgum (50.1 ppm) at Location 3. All other means at a given location are not significantly different. 3.2.2 Chloride The mean concentrations of Cl in foliage collected during 1985 through 1986 , are shown in Table 3-3. An ANOVA test indicated that the species differences are significant with alpha equal to 0.03, as was the case for Na+. To evaluate the significance of apparent species differences, data for individual sampling locations were tested for significance using Tukey's MRT. These analyses (presented in Table 3-5) indicate that three significant differences exist among the species , sampled: o Flowering dogwood (3486.0 and 3724.7 ppm)is significantly higher in Cl-content than all other species at Locations 1 and 2: 1 o Loblolly pine (1909.2 ppm) is significantly higher in Cl* content than sweetgum (417.6 ppm), blackgum (394.9 ppm), pin oak (369.8 ppm), and ! black cherry (183.2 ppm) at Location 1 i o BlackEum (272.7 ppm) is significantly higher in Cl* content than black cherry (116.6 ppm) at Location 3. l All other means at a given location are not significantly different. 3.3 SEASONAL TRENDS ! Analyses of foliage from the seven species sampled indicate that seasonal (phenological) differences in Na+ and Cl" content exist. Discussions of these i dif ferences are provided in the following sections. l i i l CN87-050-3 36 83C43)l-8 i I
3.3.1 Sodium The mean monthly concentrations of Na+ in foliage collected at the three sampling locations during 1984 through 1986 are tabulated by species in Table 3-6. A seasonal ANOVA was made based on these data and is represented by the " seasonal F-ratio" for each species and location presented in this table. Sased on this ANOVA, no significant seasonal differences (alpha equal to 0.05) exist among the data presented, indicating that no seasonal variation exists for foliar Na+ content for a given species at any given location. i 3.3.2 Chloride l The mean monthly concentrations of Cl* collected at the three sampling locations during 1984 through 1986 are tabulated by species in Table 3-7. A seasonal ANOVA was made based on these data and is represented by the
" seasonal F-ratlo" for each species and location presented in this table. Based on this ANOVA, significant seasonal differences (alpha equal to 0.05) exist for foliar Cl content for all species except black cherry. For those species and locations where significant differences are indicated on the basis of the " seasonal F-ratio",
the data represented by their monthly means was tested for significance using Tukey's MRT. These analysca (presented in Table 3-8) indicate the significance of the general trend which is evident--increasing CI' content with leaf age. ! Discussions of the seasonal differences found for each species are provided in the following paraEraphs. Black Gum. At all three locations a significant difference exists between foliar Cl* content in the early season (May through June) and late season (September). Means for the May through June period ranged from 120.1 ppm to 211.5 ppm, while those in September ranged from $33.8 ppm to 824.7 ppm. No significant differences are indicated at any glven location during the May through July period. Likewise, the follar Cl* content during the August through September period did not dif fer significantly at any location. CN87-050-3 37 83C4331-8 i
Flowering Dogwood. At the two locations where flowering dogwood was sampled, a significant difference exists between the foliar Cl content in the early season (May through June) and the late season (September). Means for the May through June period ranged from 962.6 ppm to 2,405.4 ppm, while those in September ranged from 6,974.0 ppm to 8,062.0 ppm. No significant differences are indicated at either location during the May through July period. Likewise, the foliar Cl content during the July through September period did not differ significantly at either location. Pin Oak. Only at Locations I and 3 do significant differences exist between early (May through June) and late (September) season Cl content in pin oak foliage. Means for the May through June period ranged from 268.7 ppm to 148.9 ppm, while those in September ranged from 431.8 ppm to 573.5 ppm. No significant differences are indicated at either location during the May through August period. Likewise the foliar Cl contents during the August through September period did not dif fer significantly at either location. Sassafras. At the two locations where sassafras was sampled, a significant difference exists between the foliar Cl content in the May through August period and that found in September samples. Means fcr the May through August period ranged from 299.7 ppm to 852.1 ppm, while those in September ranged from 1,351.8 ppm to 1,823.7 ppm. No significant differences are indicated at either location for the May through August period. SweetRum. At all three locations, a significant difference exists between foliar Cl content in May and September. Means for May ranged from 82.8 ppm to 144.6 ppm, while those in September ranged from 281.7 ppm to 884.3 ppm. At Locations i and 2, the means for the month of June (207.2 ppm and 190.5 ppm, respectively) were also significantly lower than those for September (884.3 and 730.7). At Location 1, foliar Cl content in July (373.3 ppm) was also significantly lower than in September. No significant differences are indicated at any location CN87-050-3 3-8 83C4351-8 )
during the May through August period. Likewise, the foliar Cl content during the August through September period did not differ significantly at any location. As can be seen from the data presented in Table 3-3, a spatial difference in foliar Cl content is also evident for sweetgum over the May through June period. This relationship is evaluated more thoroughly in the next section. 3.4 SPATIAL TRENDS Analyses of foliage from the seven species sampled indicate that spatial differences in Na+ and Cl content exist. Discussions of these differences are provided in the following sections. 3.4.1 Sodium The mean monthly concentrations of Na+ in foliage collected at the three sampling locations during 1984 through 1986 are tabulated by species in Table 3-6. An ANOVA was made based on these data and is represented by the
" spatial F-ratio" presented in this table. Based on this ANOVA no significant spatial differences (alpha equal to 0.05) exist among the data presented, indicating no spatial variation exists for foliar Na+ content for a given species during any given month.
3.4.2 Chloride The mean monthly concentrations of Cl* in foliage collected at the three sampling locations during 1984 through 1986 are tabulated by species in Table 3-7. An ANOVA was made based on these data and is represented by the
" spatial F-ratio" presented in this table.
This ANOVA indicates that significant spatial differences exist only for sweetgum in September with alpha equal to 0.05. To further evaluate these i CN87 050-3 3-9 83C4351-8
differences, the data representing the monthly means were analyzed using Tukey's MRT. Results of these analyses indicate that Cl concentrations at Locations I and 2 are significantly higher than at Location 3. 3.5 CORRELATIONS BETWEEN NATIVE VEGETATION SALT CONCENTRATIONS AND METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS t The relationship between the concentrations of Na+ and Cl in foliage samples co!!ected during the study and meteorological factors was evaluated by I calculating Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficients. Correlation
- coefficients were calculated between the 1984 through 1986 Na+ and Cl-concentrations in foliage collected at the three sample locations and Artificial Island meteorological data summaries for the same months. The meteorological
; factors evaluated were the same as those used in the salt deposition study (Section 2.4) and includes j o monthly frequency at which wind was from the southwest (i.e., from 1
Delaware Bay); o total precipitation for the month; o monthly average dew point;
- o monthly average relative humidity; o monthly average temperature; and
- o monthly frequency at which wind speed exceeded 25 mph.
I The results of these analyses are presented in Tables 3-9 through 3-11 for Na+ ) and Tables 3-12 through 3-14 for Cl'. The significant correlations which were calculated are discussed below. 1 CN87-050-3 3-10 83C4351-8 I i i i i
3.5.1 Sodium Relatively few significant correlations were found between foliar Na+ concentrations and meteorological conditions. Sweetgum Na+ concentrations were positively correlated with high wind speed at Locations 1 and 2. Flowering dogwood Na+ concentrations were negatively correlated with southwest winds at Location 1. The only other significant correlations were between pin oak Na+ concentrations and both dew point temperature and temperature at Location 3. No significant correlations were found between foliar Na+ concentration and either precipitation or humidity at any location. i 3.5.2 Chloride Foliar Cl concentrations were negatively correlated with southwest wind in four species at Location 1 (blackgum, flowering dogwood, sassafras, and sweetgum), and three species at Location 2 (flowering dogwood, sassafras, and sweetgum), but not at Location 3. Follar Cl concentrations were positively correlated with humidity in black cherry at Location 1 and in blackgum and flowering dogwood at Location 2. Follar Cl concentrations were negatively correlated with temperature in sassafras at Locations 1 and 2. At Location 3, black cherry Cl content was also negatively correlated with temperature. No significant correlations were found between
- foliar Cl content and precipitation, dew point, or wind speed. ,
3.6 CORRELATIONS BETWEEN NATIVE VEGETATION SALT CONCENTRATIONS AND SALT DEPOSITION The relationship between the concentrations of Na+ and Cl in foliage samples collected during the study and deposition of these salts during the same period as reported in this study was also evaluated by calculating Pearson Product Moment correlation coef ficients.

SECTION 4 Soll STUDIES
4.1 INTRODUCTION
A summer (May through September) sampling program was conducted to determine the Na+ and C1' concentrations in surface soils occurring in the vicinity of HCGS over the period 1985 through 1986. Surface soll samples were co!!ected at the four G) sampling locations (I A, IB, 2, and 3) selected for the native vegetation program (see Figures 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5). These locations are described in Section 3.1. Surface soil was sampled at each collection location on a monthly basis during the period May through September of each year. Three replicate soil samples ] were obtained at the same time that foliage samples were collected from these locations to provide a measure of variability. The samples were analyzed in the laboratory for Na+ and Cl and reported as parts per million (ppm) dry weight (I) . i The results are presented in Appendix C. For purposes of analysis, the three concentrations for each sampling event were averaged together to provide a single representative concentration. A summary of these data is shown in Tables 4-1 and 4-2 for Na+ and Cl , respectively. Each table shows the minimum, maximum, and average concentration at each location. As indicated in the tables, Location IB had the highest concentrations of both Na+ and Cl~. A variety of statistical analyses were performed on the data to evaluate seasonal relationships, spatial relationships, correlations between soil salt (1) Laboratory methods are provided in Appendix D. 1

concentrations and meteorological conditions, and correlations between salt concentrations in soil and nearby foliage. The results of these analyses are presented in the following sections. 4.2 SEASONAL TRENDS In order to evaluate seasonal trends in soil sodium and chloride concentrations, average concentrations were calculated for each month at each location as shown in Tables 4-3 and 4-4. An ANOVA was performed on the data. The resulting " seasonal F-ratios" are shown in Tables 4-3 and 4-4. No significant differences (alpha equal to 0.05) in surface soil concentrations of either Na+ or Cl were found throughout the months sampled. 4.3 SPATIAL TRENDS An ANOVA was also performed on the data to determine if different locations had significantly different soi! Na+ or Cl concentrations. The results of this analysis, presented in Tables 4-3 and 4-4, Indicated that there were significant differences at the 0.05 level of significance in certain months. For Na+, significant site differences were found in the months of August and September. For Cl , significant differences among locations were found in May and June. Tukey's MRT was used to determine which locations had significantly different soll sodium and chloride concentrations during the above months. The results of these analyses are presented in Tables 4-5 and 4-6 for Na+ and Cl , respectively. Location IB, located at Mad Horse Creek in a pine woodland, had significantly higher soil concentrations of both Na+ and Cl than all other locations in all cases. Soils at the remaining three locations (Locations I A,2, and
- 3) did not differ significantly from one another in either Na+ or Cl content.

4.4 CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SOIL SALT CONCENTRATIONS AND METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS In order to evaluate what effect meteorological conditions have on soi! Na+ and Cl concentrations, meteorological data for the site area were compiled for the study period as described in Section 2.4. Data compiled include wind speed and direction, precipitation, temperature, dew point temperature, and relative humidity. Each of the meteorological factors was correlated with soil Na+ and Cl concentrations at each of the sites to determine if any relationships existed. Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficients were calculated and tested for significance at the 0.01 and 0.05 levels. The results of these analyses are presented in Tables 4-7 and 4-8 for Na+ and Cl , respectively. As indicated in Table 4-7, the only meteorological factors significantly correlated at the 0.05 level with soil Na+ concentrations were wind speed at Location IB and precipitation at Location 3. No significant correlations at the 0.05 level were found between soil Cl concentrations and any meteorological factor (Table 4-8). 4.5 CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SOIL SALT CONCENTRATIONS AND VEGETATION SALT CONCENTRATIONS To determine if any correlation exists between foliar salt concentration and surface soil salt concentration, Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficients were calculated for each species. The results are presented in Table 4-9. As indicated in this table, significant correlations between foliar salt concentration and surface soil salt concentration were not found in any species except loblolly pine. A significant negative correlation was found in pine for both Na* and Cl". This correlation is due to two factors. The Na+ and Cl concentrations found in soil from Location IB were higher in 1986 than 1985. Conversely, the Na* and Cl-concentrations in loblolly pine foliage were lower in 1986 than 1985. CN87-050-4 4-3 83C4351-8 i
Location IB is located on a peninsular upland area immediately adjacent to the tidal wetlands et Delaware Bay. The pines sampled in 1985 are located on this peninsula. Soil samples were also collected at this location in both 1985 and 1986. While no specific hydrologic studies have been conducted at this site, it is likely that intrusion of brackish water into the surficial aquifer is occurring and has an influence over the Na+ and Cl concentrations found in any given soil sample. The fact that the soit levels in 1986 were consistently higher than in 1985 was most likely related to variation in the salinity of the adjacent wetlands and/or the extent of the intrusion which occurred. The differences found in the Na+ and Cl content of loblolly pine foliage are believed related to a change in sample trees made in 1986. Beginning in this year, sampling was conducted a short distance to the west of the sampling site used in 1985. The reason for this change was the unavailability of sufficient foliage at the 1985 site. The trees at the 1985 site occur in a relatively dense stand with limited low-level foliage. A number of smaller trees occur along a dike / roadway which separates the tidal wetlands of Delaware Bay from Silver Lake Meadow. Beginning in 1986, these smaller trees were used as the source of sample material. For undetermined reasoi.s, the Na+ and Cl content of foliage from these trees was lower than the larger trees located on the peninsula which were sampled in 1985. The difference observed could be related to higher soil concentrations at the 1985 sampling site or the age of the individual trees. As noted above, soll samples have been collected at the 1985 site for the entire study period (i.e., no samples were collected from the dike / roadway site). The decrease in foliar Na+ and Cl and increase in soll Na+ and Cl from 1985 through 1986 resulted in the negative correlation. CN87-050-4 4-4 83C4351-8

SUMMARY
AND CONCLUSIONS The goal of this study is to report baseline concentrations of salt in the air, vegetation, and soils in the vicinity of the Hope Creek Generating Station and to provide an analysis of seasonal and spatial trends as well as correlations with meteorological and other factors. Sections 2, 3, and 4 discuss the baseline concentrations as reported in the Appendices and present the results of statistical analyses. This section provides a summary of the significant findings and relates the results of all three studies. This section also contains a discussion of uncontrolled variables affecting the data collected. In all three studies (air deposition, native vegetation, and surface soils), consistent trends in deposition or concentration either by site or by season were relatively uncommon. Thus, the variability was sufficiently high such that few significant differences by season or site were apparent. A discussion of seasonal or phenological and spatial differences follows. Seasonal Trends Conclusions which can be made based on the Na+ and Cl data analyses presented in the previous sections are as follows: o In the air deposition study, no significant seasonal differences in Na+, Cl , and TDS deposition were found. o in the native vegetation study, no significant seasonal differences in foliar Na+ tests were found although foliar Cl concentrations were found to increase significantly with age (i.e., through the growing season). l l l CN87-050-5 5-1 33C4351-8 l l [ l
o In the surface soils study, neither Na+ nor Cl were found to vary significantly by season. Particulate deposition varied throughout the season only at Sites 6,7, and 8. At all three sites, deposition was higher in the warmer months (spring and summer). These three sites correspond to the three vegetation sampling Locations 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Increased deposition of particulates in the spring and summer months may be due to contamination by algal growth, pollen, insects, or bird excrement. The higher particulates deposition rates at these three sites may be explained at least in part by the presence of nearby wooded habitat. The remaining six sites are located within primarily herbaceous marsh vegetation or, in the case of Site 3, no vegetation. More insects and birds might be expected in the more diverse woodland habitat. In all but one species (black cherry), a statistically significant increase in Cl-content occurred during the growing season at all locations except one. Pin oak Cl concentrations at Location 2 did not vary significantly with time. Since the air deposition at these three sites (air monitoring Sites 6, 7, and 8) did not vary significantly with time, it is unlikely that the increased Cl levels can be attributed to increased deposition. Spatial Variations In the air deposition study, no significant spatial differences in deposition rates were found for Na+, Cl , or TDS. Consistent with these findings, Na+ and Cl concentrations did not vary significantly by location in the native vegetation study except in one species (sweetgum). Both Na+ and Cl soil concentrations did j vary significantly by location in some months.
)
Particulate deposition varied by site in seven of twelve months of the year. In general, Site 3 had highest particulate deposition rates. CN87-050-5 5-2 83C4351-8
- In the months in which Na+ and Cl soil concentrations varied significantly by location, Location IB had significantly higher concentrations than all other locations. The other three locations did not differ significantly from one another. The higher soil salt concentrations at Location IB are believed to be j related to this site's proximity to tidal wetlands of Delaware Bay.
^ Based on the available data, the Delaware River does not appear to have a [ strong influence on Na+ and Cl levels at the distances studied. In the air studies, neither Na+ nor Cl varied significantly by site (i.e., by distance from the river) during any month of the year. Furthermore, no.significant correlations were j found between Na+ and Cl deposition and the monthly frequency of southwest ! winds (from the bay).- In the vegetation studies, Na+ did not vary.significantly with location in any species and Cl varied with location only in one species. In
- the soil studies, both Na+ and Cl were significantly higher at Location IB in some I
months, but did not differ significantly at Locations IA,2, and 3.
~
Species Variations 1 i Significant species differences were found in both Na+ ' and ' Cl foliar content. Na+ content in loblolly pine is significantly higher than in all other species. All other species means at a given location are not significantly different i with one exception - black gum is higher in sodium content-than sweetgum at l Location 3. Cl content is significantly higher in flow., ring dogwood than in all other ! species. At Location 1, loblolly pine is significantly higher in Cl content than all ' l other species except flowering dogwood and sassafras. The only other significant species difference is at Location 3 where blackgum is higher in Cl content than: black cherry. CN87-050-5 5-3 83C4351-8 o n
Correlations Of the correlation coefficients calculated, the most significant and consistent correlation found was that between deposition was precipitation. Precipitation was positively correlated with Na+ at five sites and with Cl at all eight sites. This suggests that rainfall may wash out more airborne Na+ and Cl than would y otherwise be deposited. Few or no significant correlations were found with the f other meteorological factors. Also, correlations between foliar salt concentration and either deposition or soil salt concentrations were not consistently significant. Uncontrolled Variables There are a number of uncontrolled variables potentially affecting the data. One of the more significant of these variables is contamination of deposition samplers by algal growth, pollen, insects, and bird excrement. Contamination of this type was noted several times during the sampling period. As discussed above, such contamination may explain the significantly higher particulate deposition rates recorded at air sampling Sites 6,7, and 8. Another uncontrolled variable which may affect the data is the amount of precipitation. Since there is a significant positive correlation between sait deposition and rainfall, any local variations in precipitation at the different sites could result in differences in measured deposition rates.

1 o SECTION 6 RECOMMENDATIONS i This report presents the results of the preoperational salt drift study l' conducted in response to monitoring requirements established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the HCGS under Permit No. CPPR-120. Appendix B to Facility Operating License No. NPF-57 of the Environmental Protection Plan 1 1 permit also requires PSE&G to continue this monitoring program.. during
; operation. Data provided by PSE&G indicate that the HCGS became operational ] (at sustained 100 percent power) in mid-December 1986. The data presented in . ,
j the preceding sections, therefore, represent the complete preoperational and low power testing period. i This section presents specific recommendations for the operation monitoring j which is to be conducted. This monitoring is currently ongoing as part of the scope of work WCC is conducting under Purchase Order 921745, which expires l 7 May 1987. The recommendations presented relate to the continuation of this
) operational monitoring program and are as follows:
) o Air deposition sampling should continue at the original eight sites as well as Site 9. As discussed in Section 2, Site 9 was added in May of 1986 to provide additional data on the potentially high impact area. o Sampling of native vegetation should continue at Locations 1,2, and 3. l During the preoperational study, three replicate samples from each species were collected at each site and analyzed for Na+ and Cl-l content to provide a measure of within species variability. The results j of these analyses indicate that variability in the Na+ and Cl content of foliage from a given tree exists. Replicate sampling should be continued during operational period monitoring in order to evaluate increases in the foliar Na+ and Cl content of these individual tress. ! l l 4 CN87-050-6 6-1 83C4351-8 l 1 l
o Sampling of native vegetation during the preoperational period included seven species which were found to vary significantly in Na+ and Cl-content. Sampling during the operational period should include the
.same species.
o Sampling of loblolly pine should continue at the roadway / dike site initiated in 1986. The trees at this site are smaller in size than at the . site sampled in 1985 and will provide a continued supply of sample material. i
, o Soil sampling should be expanded to include the roadway / dike location where loblolly pine foliage is to be collected. Sampling should also
- continue at Site 1B, the peninsular upland area.

APPENDIX D LABORATORY METHODS This appendix contains a description of laboratory methods as outlined the Hope Creek Generating Station Salt Drift Monitoring Plan (WCC,1984). SALT DEPOSITION STUDIES Dustfall collectors were thoroughly cleaned before being taken to the collection stations. Cleaning consisted of washing with Alconox soap, followed by rinsing with hot tap water, a rinse with 10 percent HNO3 , and rinsing with distilled deionized water. A conductivity measurement was made of the final rinse water. Rinsing continued until a reading equivalent to the distilled deionized water was obtained. After one month, the dust buckets were tightly capped and returned to the laboratory for analysis. The liquid (if any) in the buckets was removed and the buckets rinsed to remove any residual material for analysis. Particulate Analysis The contents of each collector was filtered through both a 1 mm screen and pre-weighed Whatman Number 41 filter paper. The screen removed larger solids (e.g., insects) which may have accumulated in the bucket. The filter (which contained water insoluble material less than 1 mm in size) was dried in a 0 forced-air oven at 70 C overnight and then reweighed. The difference in weights represents the insoluble fraction and was expressed as grams of mass per bucket per month. CN87-050-D D-1 83C4351-8
TDS Analysis A 50 ml aliquot of the solute from the collector (which passed thorugh the filter paper) was pipetted into a clean, dry, and pre-weighed 100 mi teflon evaporating dish. The evaporating dish was placed in a convection oven overnight at 180 C. Upon removal from the oven, the dish was placed in a desiccator, cooled, and a final weight obtained. The difference in dish weight divided by the volume of solute determines the concentration of dissolved solids in the solute in units of milligrams per liter. The total mass of dissolved solids deposited in the collector during the month was calculated using the measured volume of water in the bucket. Sodium Analysis An aliquot of the solute was analyzed by direct aspiration using an Instrumentation Laboratory Model 151 atomic absorption spectrophotometer and sodium lamp. A standard curve was generated through regression analysis. Results were reported as the mass of Na+ deposited in the collector during the month. Chloride Analysis An aliquot of the solute was titrated with AgNO3 using a dichromate indicator solution to determine the end point of the titration. The amount of Cl-in the sample was determined by the volume and normality of the AgNO3 required for titration. NATIVE VEGETATION STUDIES Foliage collected for laboratory analysis was dried in a forced-draft oven for 48 hours at 95'C. The collected leaves were not washed prior to drying. Curtis, et al. (1976) found no difference in the results of Cl analyses from washed and CN87-050-D D-2 83C4351-8
unwashed flowering dogwood leaves. The dried leaves were ground in a laboratory grinder, passed through a 20-mesh screen and analyzed for Na+ and Cl-concentration. Sodium Analysis A 0.50 g leaf sample was weighed into a teflon capped pyrex tube. Three ml of distilled and deionized H2O and 3 ml of concentrated HNO3(metals grade) was added to the tube. The tubes were capped and heated in a Technicon Model BD-40 block digester for 2 hours at 150*C. The digested samples were then cooled, washed through Whatman Number 40 ashless filter paper and the filtrate diluted to 100 ml with distilled water. Na+ concentrations in the resulting solution were determined using an Instrumentation Laboratory Model 151 atomic absorption spectrophotometer and sodium lamp. A standard curve was generated through regression analysis. The Na+ concentration was reported as ppm Na+. Chloride Analysis A 0.50 gram leaf sample was shaken in 23.75 ml of distilled and deionized water for 5 minutes. Then,1.25 mis of dilute (1:9) HNO3 and 0.5 ml of ionic strength adjuster (5M NANO 3
) were added and mixed. Cl concentrations in leaf tissues were determined using an Orion chloride ion electrode and double junction reference electrode used in combination with an Orion Model 701A digital pH meter. The ion electrode was inserted in the solution and the potential in mV recorded. The chloride concentration of the solution was obtained from a calibration curve constructed by plotting the potential of chloride standards versus concentration on semi-logarithmic paper. The Cl concentration was expressed as ppm Cl .
CN87-050-D D-3 83C4351-8
SOIL STUDIES Soil samples were analyzed in the laboratory to determine the concentrations of water soluble Na+ and Cl present. Soluble Na+ and Cl were removed from each sample by teaching with distilled and deionized water. The teaching process consisted of the mixing of the soil sample and water at a 1:4 ratio followed by continuous agitation (i.e., shaking) over a period of 18 2 hours. After shaking was completed, the suspended soil was allowed to settle for 1 hour before the aqueous phase was decanted and filtered through Whatman Number 41 paper. The solute was then analyzed for Na+ and Cl using atomic absorption and AgNO 3 titration techniques, respectively (as described for dustfall bucket samples). CN87-050-D D-4 83C4351-8
APPENDIX E QUALITY ASSURANCE SALT DEPOSITION STUDIES Quality control measures for each of the four parameters were developed. For particulates, quality control consisted of calculation of percent differences of the co-located samplers. For TDS, in addition to calculation of percent differences of co-located samplers, one sample per month was analyzed in triplicate and the precision of analysis expressed in terms of its relative standard deviation. Na+ and Cl quality control measures included calculation of percent differences of co-located samplers, a triplicate analysis which was evaluated using the relative standard deviation, and a percent recovery analysis of two spiked samples (one Na+ and one Cl-) per month. The percent difference of co-located samplers is given by: percent D= X-C x 100 0.5 (X+C) where percent D= percent difference of field sampler data and co-located sampler data for same given time period. X= individual results of a given sample from field sampler. C= individual results of a given sample from corresponding co-located sampler. The percent difference is expected to be within 16 percent based on collaborative testing (ASTM DS-55-54). Tentative control limits are suggested at 12 percent and 16 percent, respectively, for warning and control limits. CN87-050-E E-1 83C4351-8
The precision of the triplicate analyses is shown in terms of its relative standard deviation. By this system, the standard deviation of the analysis is expressed as a percentage of the mean. Higher values are indicative of greater variation or lower quality control. The results of quality control analyses for each of the four parameters is presented below. Particulates Table E-1 shows the percent differences of co-located samplers 3/3R and 4/4R for particulates. The values for particulates ranged from 0.0 percent to 178.8 percent, with a combined average precision of 40 percent. Co-located sampler 3/3R was within the 16 percent control limit 45 percent of the time (13 of 29 months). Co-located sampler 4/4R was within the control limit 36 percent of the time. TDS Table E-1 shows the percent differences of co-located samplers 3/3R and 4/4R for TDS. The values for TDS ranged from 1.4 percent to 136.7 percent, with a combined average precision of 41 percent. Co-located sampler 3/3R was within the 16 percent control limit 35 percent of the time while co-located sampler 4/4R was within the control limit 32 percent of the time. Table E-2 presents the relative standard deviation for the replicate samples for TDS. As indicated in this table, the relative standard deviation ranged from 1.5 percent to 20.6 percent. CN87-050-E E-2 83C4351-8
Sodium l l Table E-1 shows the percent differences of co-located samplers 3/3R and 4/4R for Na*. The values for Na* ranged from 0.0 percent to 163.6 percent, with a combined average precision of 19 percent. Co-located sampler 3/3R was within the 16 percent control limit 76 percent of the time while co-located sampler 4/4R was within the controllimit 61 percent of the time. Table E-2 presents the relative standard deviations for the replicate samples for Na+. As indicated in this table, the relative standard deviation ranged from 0.0 percent to 7.1 percent. Table E-3 presents the percent spike recovery results. Percent spike recovery ranged from 86 to 118. Chloride Table E-1 shows the percent differences of co-located samplers 3/3R and 4/4R for Cl~. The values for Cl ranged from 0.0 percent to 98.0 percent, with a combined average precision of 23 percent. Co-located sampler 3/3R was within the 16 percent control limit 62 percent of the time while co-located sampler 4/4R was within the control limit 32 percent of the time. Table E-2 presents the relative standard deviation for the replicate samples for Cl~. As indicated in this table, the relative standard deviation ranged from 0.0 percent to 20.0 percent. Table E-3 presents the percent spike recovery results. Percent spike recovery ranged from 92 to 126. CN87-050-E E-3 83C4351-8
NATIVE VEGETATION STUDIES For the Na+ and Cl concentrations in leaf samples, quality control consisted of five replicates of a National Bureau of Standards (NBS) leaf sample which were digested prior to the running of a batch of samples. The NBS samples were analyzed for Na* and Cl concentrations and the relative standard deviation was calculated. The percent accuracy relative to the standard was then determined. These quality assurance tests were run in August, September, and October of 1984, November of 1985, and November of 1986. The results are presented in Table E-4. For Na+, the relative standard deviation ranged from 4.5 percent to 15.3 percent while the percent accuracy ranged from 90 to 98. For Cl , the relative standard deviation ranged from 3.5 percent to 10.4 percent and the percent accuracy ranged from 86 to 103. SOIL STUDIES , For the Na+ and Cl concentrations in soil samples, quality control consisted l of the analysis of two replicate samples from composite samples collected and a spiked sample. The selection of samples for replicate analysis was done randomly. The months analyzed include May, June, August, September of 1985 and September of 1986. The results were evaluated by calculating the relative standard deviation of the replicates and the percent recovery of the spiked samples. The results are presented in Table E-5. The relative standard deviation for Na+ ranged from 2.0 percent to 21.8 percent while the percent spike recovery ranged from 92 to 108. For Cl , the relative standard deviation ranged from 1.1 percent to 14.7 percent and the percent spike recovery ranged from 83 to 135. CN87-050-E E-4 83C4351-8
