<L l--.. 1.0 Otrjectives of the Erwiiu d.al Protection Plan h Erwiau id Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of nonradiological erwiiu-aal values during operation of the ruclear facility. 'Ihe principal objectives of the EPP are as follows: (1) Verify that the facility is operated in an envisume.ntally acceptable manner. as established by the Final Enviau.w.tal Statament - Operatirg Licensirg Stage (FES-OL) and other NRC eruitu.oeatal impact aaaaaa==nts. (2) Cbordinate NRC requit - 13 and maintain consistency with other Federal, Stata ard local requirements for erwiiu-uti protaction. (3) Faep NRC informed of the envilu /Utl effects of facility u.ixm: tion ard operation and of actio6s taken to control those effects. l Envitussiatl concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's 10 PIES permit. I i i 1-1 l Amendment No. 100
2.0 Dwironmental Protecticus T=== -In the FES, datal April 1973, the staff considered the erwiu ital hapacts meiated with the operation of Salem Generating Station Lhit Nos. 1 and 2.

Charges in station design or operation performance of tests or experiments which do not affect the envimm-4L are not subject to the requirements of this EPP. Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requit-a'us of this Section. Before engaging in additional u 'wxtion or operational activities which may significantly affect the envi[u-,L, the licensee shall prepare and reocrd an envitu dal evaluation of such activity. Activities are excluded from this Inquirement if all measurable nonradiological envitu dal effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plarg u.Laaction. When the evaluation iniioatas that such activity involves an j unreviewed envim dal question, the licensee shall prwide a j writte_n evaluation of sum activity and obtain prior NRC apprwal.
