INTRODUCTION
[
The Nine Mile Point (NMP) Nuclear Station Unit 1 is solely owned and operated by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation.
The station is located on a 900-acre site r
in Oswego County, New York, and is approximately 6.8 miles north-northeast of L
the City of Oswego. The power conversion system utilizes a 1,850 megawatt thermal boiling water reactor (BWR) designed and manufactured by the General Electric Corporation, and a 620,000-kilowatt (net) turbine generator.
(
NMP Unit I has been operational since December 1%9. The station is a critical, integral part of the New York State Master Energy Plan and, with the exception of installed hydroelectric capacity, the station is one of the most
{
cost efficient sources of electrical energy within Niagara Mohawk's service area.
p NMP Unit I utilizes a once-through, non-contact cooling water system to dissi-L pate thermal energy from the main condensers and auxiliary cooling systems.
Cooling water is drawn from Lake Ontario by means of two main circulating water pumps rated at 946.25 m3 (250,000 gallons) per minute and two service water y
[
pumps which operate at approximately 68.13 m3 (18,000 gallons) per minute
( total). Usually, one service water pump is operating except during the mid-summer months.
The lake intake structure is an open-sided hexagonal concrete structure located in approximately 5.5 meters (18 feet) of water and approximately 259 meters p
(850 feet) from the existing shoreline.
The lake discharge structure is of a L
design that is similar to the intake structure. This structure is hexagonal with open-sided ports and is located approximately 102 meters (335 feet) from the shoreline and 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) below the surface (lowest expected lake
[
1evel).
Aquatic organisms, detritus, and other debris enter with the water pumped from p
the vicinity of the submerged intake structure.
Organisms, detritus, and L
debris flow through trash racks, which are used for removing large items, such as logs, and are impinged on traveling screens, which are used for screening out smaller materials.
Periodically, the traveling screens are rotated and b
washed to remove any accumulation of impinged organisms or other material into a sluiceway which empties into an impingement collection basket.
The aquatic organisms impinged at NMP Unit I have been monitored yearly since 1972 in order
{
to estimate species abundance and composition.
This report presents the results of aquatic ecological studies conducted by
[
EA Science and Technology, a Division of EA Engineering Science, and L
Technology Inc. during 1985 as required by the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Permit No. NY 000 1015,Section IV (dated 1 July 1983) covering the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporat.icn's NMP Unit 1.
E Impingement catches (Section IV.B) were monitored on a frequency of 4-20 samples per month from January through December 1985 (a total of 78 samples in 1985).
1-1
I I
Impingement sampling at NMP Unit 1 in 1985 resulted in the collection of 34 fish taxa; 2 were identified to the family level and 32 to the species level.
One amphibian (spotted mudpuppy) and two invertebrates (crayfish and clam) were also represented in the 1985 collections.
Alewife was the most numerous (389,394) comprising 95 percent of the total catch. Alewife, rainbow smelt, threespine stickleback, and gizzard shad accounted for 99 percent (404,500) of all fish collected (407,881).
As required by correspondence from Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, all fish impingement samples are checked for the I
presence of the Asiatic clam (Corbicula sp.).
No Corbicula sp. molluses were found in the 1985 impingement collections.

METHODS AND MATERIALS 2.1 SCHEDULE (PERMIT SECTION IV.B.1)
In accordance with permit requirements, 78 impingement collections were scheduled between 1 January and 31 December 1985. Samples were collected over a 24-hour period on randomly selected days (Table 2-1).
Randomly selected sample dates were scheduled such that no more than 10 days occurred between samples. Table 2-2 lists the scheduled sampling dates.
On two dates in the year, samples were rescheduled to accommodate operational or equipment problems (Appendix A).
2.2 SAMPLING PROCEDURE (PERMIT SECTION IV.B.2,3,4,5)
Samples were initiated around 1300 hours0.015 days <br />0.361 hours <br />0.00215 weeks <br />4.9465e-4 months <br /> of the sampling day. At the beginning of the sample collection period, the traveling screens were rotated and washed for five minutes.
The collection basket, with a 9.5-mm (3/ 8-in.) s tretch mesh liner, was then positioned at the end of the sluiceway.
The collection basket remained in place for the duration of the sample, unless high impingement or I
debris loads required that it be emptied, in which case it was removed, emptied, and repositioned.
At the end of the 24-hour period, the traveling screens were rotated and washed I
for five minutes. The impinged organisms were washed into the collection basket; the basket was removed and emptied.
Plant operational data were obtained for each sample date to document cooling water flow rates, intake and discharge temperatures, and power production
( Appendix B).
A subsampling routine was utilized for occasions when high impingement rates or high debris loads were encountered.
The subsampling technique was based on volume, and the total 24-hour catch was estimated using the formula:
Estimated No. of Fish Volume of Total Samnie r No. of Fish in Aliouot in Total Sample Volume of Subsample The volume of the total sample was determined by repeatedly filling a volume-trically graduated container, recording the values, and adding them.
The total I
volume was thoroughly mixed by hand or with a shovel and spread out evenly over a flat surface.
An aliquot (s) of the total sample was randomly selected and this portion of the sample was removed and measured to determine its volume.
During 1985, subsamples constituted at least 25 percent by volume of the total sample.
The fish in the subsample were then processed according to regular laboratory procedures (Section 2.3).
I 2.3 LABORATORY PROCESSING (PERMIT SECTION IV.B.4) l Af ter the impingement sample was collected, it was returned to the laboratory and all organisms were sorted, identified, and enumerated.
Identification was made to the lowest possible taxonomic level, which was usually species.

I the convenience of the reader, common na=es are used in the text; however, a list of common and their associated scientific names are included in Appendix C.
Specimens (to a maximum of 25 individuals) of the following species were analyzed for length and weight: wl.i te perch, alevife, rainbow smelt, small-mouth bass, yellow perch, and each species of salmonid. Any other species present in the collections were enumerated and weighed to obtain a total count and total weight for each species (or lowest taxonomic level).
g Total lengths were measured to the nearest millimeter. For the purposes of g
this report, 100 millimeters were used as a determinant of size class differ-entiation between young of the year and adults based on size range information in Scott and Crossman (1973). Weights were measured to the nearest 0.1 gram for specimens less than 10 grams, to the nearest 1.0 gram for specimens between 10 and 2,000 grams, and to the nearest 25 grams for specimens over 2,000 grams based on the precision of the scales used for measurement. Any unusual I
conditions, abnormalities, or presence of fish tags were noted on the data sheets.
2.4 WATER QUALITY DETERMINATIONS (PERMIT SECTION IV.B.5)
At the onset and completion of each impingement sample, intake and discharge temperatures (d0.5 C) were determined from a bucket of water retrieved at both locations.
2.5 DATA PRESENTATION (PERMIT SECTION IV.C)
Data are presented accotding to the requirements set forth in the SPDES permit Section IV.C.
Monthly "mean" is equal to the total number of fish impinged by species on all sampling days in a given month divided by the total number of sampling days.
I Annual "mean" is equal to the total number of fish impinged by species on all sampling days in the year divided by the total number of sampling days in the year.
Total estimated impingement for each month was calculated using the formula:
D = h (x) where I
D = total estimated impingement c = the number of fish collected during the sampling period v = the volume of cooling water used during the sampling period x = the total monthly volume of cooling water used.
The annual impingement estimate was then calculated by adding the 12 monthly impingement estimates.

RESULTS 3.1 IMPINGEMENT ABUNDANCE AND COMPOSITION (PERMIT SECTION IV.C.3)
Impingement sampling at NMP Unit I during 1985 resulted in the collection of 34 fish taxa; 2 were identified to the family level and 32 to the species I
level.
One amphibian (spotted mudpuppy) and two invertebrates (crayfish and clam) were also represented in the 1985 collections (Table 3-1).
Alewife was the most numerous species, comprising 95 percent of the total I
catch. Alewife (together with rainbow smelt, threespine sticlieback, and gizzard shad) comprised 99 percent of the total catch. Alewife was the only species collected in all 12 months of the year.
Rainbow smelt and sculpins I
were collected in 11 months of 1985.
Spottail shiners, stonecats, and tes-sellated darters were present in 10 months of 1985.
I In 1985, yellow perch were collected in 9 months of the year.
White perch and smallmouth bass were collected during 8 months and 6 months, respectively, of 1985. Four species of salmonids (brown trout, rainbow trout, lake trout, and Atlantic salmon) were impinged in samples collected in 5 months of 1985.
Species diversity in 1985 was highest in the winter (January, February, and March), early spring ( April and May), and late f all (December).
The highest species diversity occurred in the December impingement when 24 species were collected.
The lowest diversity (9 species) occurred in the October impinge-ment samples.
Rainbow smelt dominated impingement samples in January and February primarily as the result of west and northwest winds of 5-15 mph on two samples dates in January (4 and 25 January) and one date in February (21 February). A total of 79 percent of the monthly collection of rainbow smelt were collected in the two January samples and 63 percent of the February collection of rainbow smelt was obtained in a single February sample.
Generally, greater impingement collections occurred during the spring and early summer months as adult fish (particularly alewife and rainbow smelt) migrated I
inshore to spawn.
Impingement rates of adults decreased as the fish finished spawning and moved offshore. Alewife dominated the impingement collections from March through July.
In March, alewife accounted for 58 percent of the total monthly impingement and increased to 97 percent in April and 99 percent I
of the collection in May, June, and July. Impingement abundance dropped through June, July, and August, while most fish sough deeper, cooler water.
I Young-of-the-year fish generally remained in warmer, inshore nursery areas and are predominant in the impingement during the late summer (September) and fall (October and November).
Most of the individuals of both species (alewife and rainbow smelt) impinged from September through December were young of the year (Section 3.2). Alewife young of the year accounted for 99 percent of the fish impinged in October and November.
Rainbow smelt young of the year dominated the impingement collections in September (63 percent) and December I
(46 percent).

I The mean daily impingement rate (Table 3-2) was highest during the spring I
(April and May) and the month of November.
The high spring impingement rates are ceflective of the high impingement abundance seen when fish move inshore to spawn. The collections of November were dominated by two large samples I
(7 November and 12 November) containing young-of-the-year alewife.
A total of 69 percent of all alewife collected in November were collected during the sample of 11-12 November. Both samples were influenced by specific weather I
conditions. As seen in previous samples at NMP (EA 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985),
winds from the west or northwest and corresponding high waves of ten resulted in increased impingement levels.
Lif ton and Storr (1977) found statistically significant correlations between environmental factors (wave height, water I
temperature,' and wind action) and impingement at power plants in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Wave height was correlated at a higher level than either of the other factors.
They hypothesized that wave-induced turbulence and possibly turbidity interfere with a fish's normal ability to detect and avoid an intake structure, resulting in higher impingement.
I Impingement rates based on flow (Table 3-3) are slightly lower for all months than the mean daily impingement rates expressed in Table 3-2.
This is pri-marily due to the dif ferences in the manner of data expression. The mean daily impingement rate can be influenced by short-term meteorological conditions I
which may significantly increase impingement rates for a single 24-hour sample period.
The impingement rate based on flow is expressed by volume (nu=ber of fish per million cubic meters) of circulating water pumped.
Outage conditions when little or no water is pumped and changes in the volume of water pumped during day-to-day plant operations would influence the impingement rate expressed by this method.
The estimated number of aquatic organisms impinged at NMP Unit 1 (based on daily average rate) was 1,543,585 (Table 3-4). The estimate of impinged organisms based on flow was 1,132,485 (Table 3-5).
The differences in the two I
estimates may be attributed to the two bases from which the estimations were made and the influence of plant operating conditions and weather on data collected. Estimated annual alewife impingement for the year was 1.441,953 I
and 1,031,489, respectively, for both methods.
These values represented 93 and 91 percent of the total estimated annual impingements, respectively. Estimated impingement of rainbow smelt was 73,272 and 72,709 (5 and 6 percent), respec-I tively, for the two methods of determination.
Estimated impingement for the RIS collected in 1985 are as follows (estimate by daily average rate precedes estimate by flow in the parentheses): yellow perch (666; 662), white perch (4,430; 4,402), and smallmouth bass (75; 73). Annual impingement of the I
salmonid species was estimated as follows: brown trout - 22; lake trout - 16; Atlantic salmon - 6; and rainbow trout - 8.
Both methods of calculation arrived at identical estimates for each of salmonid species.
The small numbers of salmonids impinged was probably a factor in the resulting equivalent esti-mations.
3.2 LENG111 DISTRIBUTIONS (PERMIT SECTION IV.B.4)
Length-frequency distributions are given for nine representative important t
species (RIS):
alevife, rainbow smelt, smallmouth bass, white perch, yellow I
perch, and for salmonid species (brown trout, rainbow trout, lake trout, and Atlantic salmon) in Tables 3-6a through 3-6f.
Alewife collections were dominated by adults and subadults in the winter (January, February, March),

spring ( April, May, June), and early summer (July). Young-of-the-year alewives increased in the samples in late summer. A total of 80 percent of the alewives measured in September were young of the year.
In October, the young of the year comprised 99 percent of the alewives measured, and in November all of the alewives measured were young of the year.
The numbers of young of the year dropped slightly (88 percent) in December, but still dominated the samples.
Adult and subadult rainbow smelt dominated the smelt collections in 11 months of the year.
No rainbow smelt were collected in July.
In some months of the year, the young-of-the-year rainbow smelt were damaged to an extent that made it impossible to accurately obtain the necessary number of length measurements.
This is particularly true of the length frequency data for August, September, and October.
Ninety percent of the white perch measured were young of the year. White perch young-of-the-year were present in collections made during eight months of the year.
Yellow perch were generally collected as adults and subadults.
A few young-of-the-year yellow perch were collected in 1985, primarily in samples from January through May.
Smallmouth bass were collected as adults, with the exception of one young of the year collected in a sample in December 1985.
None of the salmonids collected were young of the year. The lake trout were subadults and the brown trout, rainbow trout, and Atlantic salmon were all collected as adults.
3.3 BIOMASS (PERMIT SECTION IV.B.4)
Total biomass collected in the 1985 impingement samples at NMP Unit I was 9,304,425 grams ( 9,304 kilograms). Alewife (8,922 kilograms) comprised 96 percent of the total biomas7 Gizzard shad (250 kilograms, 3 percent) and rainbow smelt (52 kilograms, 0.6 percent) were second and third in rank, respectively, by weight (Table 3-7).
The estimated biomass (based on flow) was 20,962,482 grams (20,962 kilograms) of which 18,417,809 grams (18,418 kilograms, 88 percent) was estimated as the l
weight of alewife (Table 3-8). The biomass of gizzard shad was estimated at 1,896,410 grams (1,896 kilograms), or 9 percent of the total estimated biomass for 1985. Rainbow smelt biomass was estimated at 222,115 grams (222 kilograms, or 1 percent of the total).
3.4 WATER QUALITY (PERMIT SECTION IV.B.5)
Intake and discharge temperatures were measured at the beginning and end of each impingement sample.
Intake temperatures were measured in the intake canal (in front of the trash bars). The discharge temperatures were measured in the discharge canal.
Intake and discharge temperatures were also recorded from the plant operational log on sample days.

APPENDIX A EXCEPTIONS TO STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR IMPINGEMENT AT NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 1.1985 27 APR 1985 Loss of Imnincement Samnie - During the collection period, high water levels in the pit area caused the sample basket to overflow when the traveling screens were washed.
High water levels were a result of high water levels in Lake Ontario. An undetermined amount of sample was lost to the surrounding water.
The sample was rescheduled and successfully collected on 30 April 1985.
01 JUN 1985 Loss of Imningement Samnie - During the collection period, high west and northwest winds (25-30 knots) and waves brought large volumes of Cladonhora sp. into the cooling water intake.
The collection basket overflowed and an undetermined amount of sample was lost. Tne sample was rescheduled and completed on 02 June 1985.

APPENDIX D COLLECTION EFFICIENCY AT NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION I

f APPENDIX D COLLECTION EFFICIENCY (PERMIT SECTION IV.B.6)
I To assess the efficiency of the traveling screens in removing impinged organisms from the circulating water intake system at Nine Mile Point Unit 1, a collection efficiency study was conducted on 7-8 November 1984.
Since collection efficiency is a function of species and their respective sizes, and at no one time during the year ore all species and size classes available to the impingement process, representative fish of each of the selected species and size classes to be tested were saved and frozen following routine impinge-ment analysis.
Species tested were alewife, rainbow smelt, white perch, yellow perch, and smallmouth bass ' Table D-1).
The fish to be tested were thawed and marked using a visible dye (Rose Bengal) and a fin clip, then sorted into size classes according to the following ranges:
Size Class I:
less than 10.0 cm II: 10.1 - 15.0 cm III:
15.1 - 20.0 cm IV: greater than 20.1 cm.
~
The marked fish were released in the intake canal prior to the traveling screens and at a point below the surface of the water. The release was made at the beginning of a regularly scheduled impingement sample immediately following the pre-wash.
The results of the efficiency test are presented by species and size class in Table D-1.
The percent efficiency ranged from 67 percent to 100 percent.
Size Class I fish (all species combined) had a mean collection efficiency of 94 percent (range:
88-100 percent).
Size Class II fish had a mean collection efficiency of 89 percent (range: 67-100 percent).
Size Class III fish had a mean collection efficiency of 88 percent (range:
80-92 percent).
Size Class IV white perch were recovered at an efficiency of 93 percent. Overall collection efficiency for all species and size classes combined was 91 percent.
