- ~ ~..

Unit 3.

Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license-conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure. adequate protection of the environment.

The Appendix B Environmental Technical. Specifications [(EIS) issued with the license included-discharge restrictions and monitoring programs to resolve the issues.

Prior to issuance of this EPP, the requiremeits remaining in the ETS were:

l'.

.The need to control the release of heat (temperature) and chlorine within those discharge concentrations evaluated.

l 2.

The need for aquatic monitoring programs to confirm that thermal mixing occurs as predicted, and that effects on aquatic biota and water quality due to plant operation are nor greater than predicted.

3 '.

The need for special studies to document levels of intake entrainment and. impingement.

p Aquatic issues arefefs addressed by the effluent limitations, monitoring requirements and the Section 316(b) demonstration requirement contained in.the effective NPDES hpermit f6'riiihly issued by khilEh@f66sisi6fiERF6fidfiW%shifyEPA-Region IV.

question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activities and obtain prior approval from the NRC.

' A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed-environmental question if it concerns CD a matter which may; result in a significant increase in any adverse environment'al

In the FES-Operating License, dated May 1973, NRC staff l

considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of Crystal River Unit 3.

Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to

-resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate' protection of the environment.

The Appendix-B Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS) issued with the. license included discharge l

restrictions and monitoring programs to resolve the issues.

Prior-to issuance'of this EPP, the requirements remaining in the ETS were:

1.

The need to' control the release of heat (temperature) and chlorine within those discharge concentrations evaluated.

1 2.

The need for aquatic monitoring programs to confirm that thermal mixing occurs as predicted, and that effects on aquatic biota and water quality due to plant operation are no greater than predicted.

3.

The need for special studies to document levels of intake entrainment and impingement.

Aquatic issues were addressed by the effluent limitations, l

monitoring requirements and the Section 316(b) demonstration requirement contained in the effective NPDES Permit formerly issued by the Environmental Protection Agency-Region IV.

The FDEP now issues the-Industrial Wastewater Facility Permit under the NPDES.

Numerical limits are established i

by NMFS on live takes, lethal takes causally related to plant operation, and lethal takes not related to plant operations.

4.2.2 NMFS Reasonable and Prudent Measures In order to provide protection of sea turtles, the following reasonable and prudent measures are appropriate to minimize impacts to sea turtles:

a.

Monitor sea turtle activities around the CREC bar racks and rescue sea turtles stranded on the bar racks, and b.

Keep records of sea turtle strandings.

4.2.3 NMFS Non-discretionary Terms and Conditions The' following non-discretionary terms and conditions implement the above reasonable and prudent measures:

a.

Continue iniplementation of the approved Sea Turtle Rescue and Handling Guidelines.

Subsequent revisions shall be submitted for review to NMFS and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
