Summaries and- Analyses of Results of Activities required by the EPP Section 4.2.1 - Aerial Remote Sensing Pre-Operational infrared photographs were obtained in 1983 and 1984. Operational data was obtained again in 1985 and 1986. The photographs and report are in Attachment 1, Aerial Remote Sensing.

To date, no damage to vegetation in the vicinity of the cooling tower has been observed with infrared photographs. However, some " scorching" or browning of loblolly pines have been observed in stands nearest the cooling towers. The factor (s) which have caused the browning have not been identified.

Section 4.2.2 - Sound Level Survey Operational Sound Level surveys were conducted in 1986 and compared to preoperational data. Noise attributed to cooling tower operation has not exceeded H.U.D. noise level criteria. The Unit 1 operational winter data are within the ranges measured during the preoperational period. The 2 Unit operational data will be collected during the summer and winter of 1987. The Sound Level Report is found in Attachment 2.

The following complaints were received in reference to noise. Note that complaints were not related to cooling tower fans. Two complaints / questions by the public were documented in 1986 (Attachment 3) related to noise at the station. Both of the contacts by the public were related to steam release events.
