. GL r "PSE&G has completed the implementation of the Salt Drift Monitoring Program to assess the impacts of cooling tower salt drift on the environment in the HCGS vicinity.
This study was completed by the submission of two reports: " Pre-operational Summary Report for Hope Creek Generating Station Salt Drift Monitoring Program, August 1984-December 1986" and " Operational i
Summary Report for Hope Creek Generating Station Salt i
Drift Monitoring Program, January 1987-March 1989".
The pre-operational report was submitted to the NRC on April 30, 1987 (NLR-E87144) as an Appendix to the 1986 Annual Environmental Operating Report.
The operational report was submitted to the NRC on October 10, 1989 (NLR-N89201).
i C@
The " Operational Summary Report" contained information that fulfilled the requirements of a final report, and therefore will be considered the " Final Report".
This report discusses salt deposition data, native vegetation studies, comparison of estimated salt drift and deposition with actual c ata, environmental effects of salt drift and pre-and post-operational data comparison.
The study indicated that only minor, localized effects of cooling towee drift deposition are occurring.
Higher deposition rates potentially attributable to the cooling tower were measured at only one location, which is on station property at a distance of 0.4 km southeast of the cooling towey.
The salt deposition i
rate at this site is 113 mg/m / month, which is well below the deposition levels that have g/ year.
een reported to cause vegetative damage of 10,000 mg/m Hope Creek Generating Station is surrounded by extensive areas of tidal salt marsh and the nearest uplands are
.tacated approximately three miles to the east, therefore no significant adverse impacts will occur as a result of cooling tower operation.
PSE&G has satisfied the commitments under this requirement. No further monitoring is required."
