1.0 Introduction 1.0 Introduction The Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) is a nuclear power plant located on the central coast of California between Avila Beach and Morro Bay (Figure 1). The facility uses seawater from the Pacific Ocean for cooling. The seawater enters the plant through a shoreline intake structure in the Intake Cove and is discharged via a shoreline outfall in Diablo Cove. Monitoring of the marine environment near the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) is required by WDR Order No. 90-09 (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. CA0003751),

as revised in a letter from the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board in December 1998. The monitoring is conducted under the Receiving Water Monitoring Program (RWMP) in accordance with the NPDES Permit.

1.0 Introduction This report presents the seawater temperature and biological data collected for the 2022 reporting period from the RWMP intertidal and subtidal monitoring tasks (Table 1). The sampling methods for each task are described in the report, and summary statistics from the 2022 sampling are presented in the report appendices.

Table 1. Tasks, stations, and frequency of surveys for the DCPP RWMP, 2022. (See text for sampling method descriptions and station locations).

Task and Sampling Frequency Stations Temperature Monitoring Intertidal (recorded every 20 min) NC 2, FC 1, FC 2, FC 3, NOC 1, NOC 2, NOC 3, SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, SOP 1, SOP 2, SC 1, and SC 1-V Subtidal (recorded every 20 min) NC 1 -3m, FC 1 -3m, NOC 2 -3m, NOC 3 -3m, NOC 4 -4m, SOC 1 -3m, SOC 4 -4m, SC 1 -3m, and SC 2 -6m Intertidal Horizontal Band Transects (algae, seagrasses, invertebrates, substrate) 4 surveys per year NC 1, NC 2, FC 1, FC 2, FC 3, NOC 1, NOC 2, NOC 3, SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, SOP 1, SOP 2, and SC 1 Intertidal Vertical Band Transects (fishes) 4 surveys per year NC 1V, FC 1V, NOC 1V, SOC 2V, and SC 1V Subtidal Benthic Stations (algae, invertebrates, substrate) 4 surveys per year FC 1 -3m, NOC 2 -3m, NOC 3 -3m, NOC 4 -4m, SOC 2 -3m, SOC 3 -4m, SC 1 -3m, and SC 2 -6m Subtidal Fish Observations (fishes) 4 surveys per year FC F0-1 , FC F0-2, FC F0-3, NOC F0-1 , NOC F0-2, NOC F0-3, SOC F0-1 ,

SOC F0-2, SOC F0-3; SC F0-1, SC F0-2, and SC F0-3 Habitat-Forming Kelp Survey (bull kelp, giant kelp) 1 survev oer vear Oiablo Cove Intertidal and subtidal stations included in the RWMP are located in six areas: South Diablo Cove (SDC), North Diablo Cove (NDC), South Diablo Point (SDP), Fields Cove (FC), South Control (SC), and North Control (NC). Two sites (SC and NC) are sufficiently far from the plant that they do not experience increased seawater temperatures due to the discharge.

The sampling was completed during 2022 in accordance with the NPDES permit. Habitat-forming kelp surveys were conducted once in 2022. Sampling for the remaining five tasks in Table 1 occurred during four discrete time-periods (surveys) in 2022. The specific date a station was sampled within each survey was influenced by logistics, staffing resources, weather, sea state, and tide conditions. The survey date of each task listed in the appendix tables represents the mean date for the time period within which the task was completed.

All monitoring tasks and surveys were completed in the 2022 reporting period. This report does not include analysis or discussion of the results of the biological and temperature monitoring.

Comprehensive analyses of changes in the marine environment resulting from the DCPP discharge have been presented in Tenera (1988, 1997, 1999a, 1999b, and 2002).

2.0 Temperature Monitoring 2.0 Temperature Monitoring Intertidal and subtidal seawater temperatures were recorded at permanent stations located along the Oiablo Canyon coastline. Temperature units at the intertidal stations shown in Figure 2 were located along the rocky shore at the +0.6 m (+2 .0 ft) mean lower low water (MLLW) elevation.

The temperature recorders at the subtidal locations shown in Figure 3 were located at depths of-3 m, -4 m, or-6 m (- 10 ft, -13 ft, or-20 ft) MLLW. The naming designation for each station reflects the area location and station number. The station depth is indicated for the subtidal stations e.g., NDC 1 -3 mis North Diablo Cove subtidal Station 1 at a depth of -3 m (-10 ft)

MLLW (see Table 1).

There were 13 stations in Diablo Cove regularly contacted by the discharge plume:

Intertidal: NDC 1, NDC 2, NOC 3, SOC 1, SDC 2, SOC 3, SDP 1, and SDP 2.

Subtidal: NDC 2 -3m, NDC 3 -3m, NDC 4 -4m, SDC 1 -3m, and SDC 4 -4m.

2.0 Temperature Monitoring There were four stations in Field's Cove, approximately one kilometer upcoast from Diablo Cove, contacted intermittently by the discharge plume:

Intertidal: FC 1, FC 2, and FC 3.

Subtidal: FC I -3m.

There were six control stations outside the influence of the discharge, which measured ambient ocean temperatures:

Intertidal: NC 2, SC I , and SC IV Subtidal: NC I -3m, SC 1 -3m, and SC 2 -6m The intertidal stations in South Control (SC 1) and Stillwater Cove (SC 1V) use the same acronym but are located in different locations as shown in Figure 2.

2.0 Temperature Monitoring Each temperature instrument synchronously logged temperatures every 20 minutes throughout its deployment period. Instrument precision was 0.025°C with an accuracy of+/- 0.05°C.

Temperature units were deployed at a station for approximately 60-90 days and then exchanged with a serviced, calibrated unit. Data from the intertidal temperature units were deleted prior to analysis when tide levels were less than the height of the sensors (+0.6 m [+2.0 ft] MLLW). Tide levels were determined using data from NOAA tide gauges at Morro Bay and Port San Luis.

Monthly statistics on the seawater temperatures recorded at the intertidal and subtidal temperature monitoring stations in 2022 are presented in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively. Below is a summary of seawater temperatures recorded in 2022, based on data from temperature recording stations in the control areas, North Diablo Cove, South Diablo Cove, and Field's Cove.

Based on mean monthly temperature data, seawater temperatures throughout the study area are generally coolest from February through May and warmest from August through November.

Measured seawater temperatures are coolest in the control areas, and warmest in Diablo Cove.

Intertidal monthly mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures recorded in 2022 at the +0.6 m

(+2.0 ft) (ML WW) elevation at stations in North Control (NC2), South Diablo Cove (SOC 2),

North Diablo Cove (NDC 2), and Field's Cove (FC 2) are shown in Figure 4a. Monthly mean ambient seawater temperatures at the North Control station ranged from a low of 10.9°C (51.6°F) in April to a high of 15.0°C (59.0°F) in September. Intertidal seawater temperatures are usually warmest at the Diablo Cove stations from late summer to early fall. Compared to the control station, intertidal seawater temperatures averaged 3.6°C (6.5°F) warmer in South Diablo Cove and 3.9°C (7.0°F) warmer in North Diablo Cove. Intertidal seawater temperatures at the Field's Cove station were l.2°C (2.2°F) warmer than the control station, on average. One of the intertidal temperature units at South Diablo Point (SDP 2) malfunctioned during a deployment and data were not recoverable from October 28 at 5:20 PM PST through the remainder of the calendar year (Appendix A, Table AS).

Subtidal monthly mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures recorded in 2022 at -3 m MLL W in South Control (SC 1 -3m), South Diablo Cove (SDC 1 -3m), North Diablo Cove (NDC 2 -

3m), and Field's Cove (FC 1 -3m) are shown in Figure 4b. The subtidal temperature unit at the Field's Cove (FC 1-3m) station malfunctioned during a deployment and data were not recoverable from January 28 at 12:00 PM PST through June 22 at 10:20AM PST. Since the majority of measurements were recovered from January, those data are included in Figure 4a, but insufficient data were collected in June to represent temperatures for the entire month.

Monthly mean ambient seawater temperatures at the South Control station ranged from a low of 10.5°C (50.9°F) in April to a high of 14.4°C (58.0°F) in September. Subtidal temperatures are usually warmest at the Diablo Cove stations in summer to early fall. Compared to the data from the control stations, subtidal temperatures averaged 2.9°C (5.2°F) warmer in South Diablo Cove and 4.2°C (7.6°F) warmer in North Diablo Cove. There were insufficient data to calculate an annual temperature difference between subtidal temperatures at the Field's Cove station and the control station.

2.0 Temperature Monitoring DCPP typically operates at full capacity; however, there were multiple periods in 2022 when one or two of the four main circulating water pumps (CWPs) were not in service due to scheduled or emergent unit outages and curtailments. This resulted in lower daily discharge volumes during these periods. The effects of four outages or curtailments during 2022 on daily discharge volumes can be seen in Figure 5. A brief description of each CWP outage or curtailment period is listed below.

  • February 23 -25, 2022: Emergent Unit 1 curtailment to remove debris from unit main steam condenser that accumulated due to ocean high swells. One Unit 1 CWP removed from service.
  • March 26 - April 24: Scheduled Unit 1 refueling outage (1R23). Two Unit 1 CWPs removed from service.
  • April 25-26 (1-1) and April 28-29 (1-2): Emergent Unit 1 forced outage (1X24) for equipment repairs. One Unit 1 CWP removed from service.
  • October 16- November 24: Scheduled Unit 2 refueling outage (2R23) which was extended due to emergent equipment repairs. Two Unit 2 CWPs removed from service.

3.0 Intertidal Algae and Invertebrates 3.0 Intertidal Algae and Invertebrates Intertidal algae, seagrasses, and invertebrates were sampled using the horizontal band transect (HBT) sampling method at the locations shown in Figure 6. Most HBT stations consisted of two 30 m long transects oriented parallel to the waterline, one at the +0.9 m (+3 ft) MLL W tide level and the other at the +0.3 m (+ 1 ft) MLL W tide level. Stations SDP 1 and SDP 2 each consisted of one transect at the +0.9 m (+3 ft) tide level. The substrate at the +0.9 m (+3 ft) MLL W level at station SDC 1 was mainly uncolonized cobble. Therefore, the upper transect at that station was located at a lower elevation at the +0.6 m (+2 ft) MLLW tide level on bedrock where intertidal species were more abundant. The sampling area of each transect consisted of ten 1.0 m2 (10.8 ft2) permanent quadrats. The quadrats were mainly located on bedrock and boulders, but various amounts of cobble and sand that occurred seasonally were also sampled. Data from temperature sensors indicate that three control stations were located outside the influence of the DCPP thermal discharge, while the remaining 11 stations in Field ' s Cove, Diablo Cove, and on South Diab lo Point (south headland of Diab lo Cove) had varying levels of contact with the warm water from the discharge.

3.0 Intertidal Algae and Invertebrates Percent cover for each algal and seagrass species was estimated visually. Coverage of overstory species were estimated first, and then the overstory branches and blades were moved aside to allow estimation of coverage for each understory species. Coverage of bare substrate was also recorded at this stage. Species that occupied less than 0.7% of the area of the quadrat were recorded as "present". Due to the overlapping layers of taxa, the total percent cover typically exceeded 100% in a quadrat.

The number oflarge mobile invertebrates (greater than 2.5 cm [l in], largest dimension) were counted in each of the ten quadrats for each transect. In five of the ten station quadrats ("count" quadrats ), select species of invertebrates were counted regardless of size. Species smaller than 2.5 cm (1 in.) not part of the select group were recorded as "present". The percent cover of sessile invertebrates, such as sponges and tunicates, was estimated using the same methods used for the intertidal algae. All black abalone, regardless of size, were counted in the ten permanent quadrats on each transect. In addition, black abalone in five additional quadrats on each transect that were previously sampled as part of the monitoring program were also counted.

The survey mean abundance or percentage cover, and the annual mean and standard deviation for each taxon at each transect level are presented in Appendix C. Survey means for algae and substrates were calculated from all ten quadrats along the transect, while the means for invertebrates were calculated from the five count quadrats. Before calculating the summary statistics in the appendices, taxa that were recorded as "present" in a quadrat were assigned a value of 0.01 if recorded as percent cover and a value of 1 ifrecorded as a count.

4.0 Intertidal Fishes 4.0 Intertidal Fishes Intertidal fishes were sampled using the Vertical Band Transect (VBT) sampling method. At each of five stations (Figure 7), either two or three transects were positioned perpendicular to the shoreline at fixed locations. Each transect originated in the high intertidal zone (approximately

+ 1.5 m [4.9 ft] MLL W) and terminated in the low intertidal zone (approximately -0.2 m [0.6 ft]

MLL W). Transects at each station were separated by approximately 3 m (9.8 ft). Each transect was used as a reference line to position twelve 1.0 m 2 ( 10.8 ft2) permanent sampling quadrats, for a total of thirty-six quadrats per station. Two control stations were located beyond the influence of the DCPP thermal discharge, while the remaining three stations in Field's Cove and Diablo Cove had varying levels of contact with the warm water from the discharge.

4.0 Intertidal Fishes Intertidal fishes were sampled within quadrats by lifting any moveable rocks and searching foliose algae. Fishes were captured in small hand nets, identified to the lowest practical taxonomic level, measured, and returned to the quadrat following sampling. Newly settled juvenile fishes were not identified to the species level but were grouped into composite taxa. The survey total, annual mean, and standard deviation for each taxon encountered at each station are presented in Appendix D.

5.0 Subtidal Algae and Invertebrates 5.0 Subtidal Algae and Invertebrates Eight permanent subtidal benthic sampling stations are located at depths of -3 m, -4 m, or -6 m (-

10 ft, -13 ft, or -20 ft) MLL W (Figure 8). Two control stations are located in Patton Cove, beyond the influence of the DCPP thermal discharge, while the remaining six stations had varying levels of contact with the warm water from the discharge. Stations were circular with a radius of 3.1 5 m (10.33 ft), and a sampling area of28.0 m2 (301.4 ft2) . The center 3.1 m 2 (33.4 fi2) of each station nearest to a mooring anchor (railcar wheel) was not sampled in order to avoid any unnatural algal and invertebrate growth associated with the mooring. Each station was divided into four equal sections, or "arc quadrants", 7.0 m2 (75.3 fi2) in area. All stations were established primarily on substrates of mixed bedrock and boulders with varying amounts of cobble and sand.

5.0 Subtidal Algae and Invertebrates Divers used three sampling methods at each station to sample the benthic algae and invertebrates. The first sampling method, the subtidal arc quadrant (SAQ) method, involved counting both kelp and macroinvertebrates. Kelp plants and select invertebrate taxa were counted regardless of the size. Individuals of other non-encrusting invertebrates were counted if they were larger than 2.5 cm (1.0 in) (length or width). Juvenile kelp plants that could not be identified to the species level were counted and recorded as "Laminariales". Five common species that generally occurred in numbers too high to accurately count in a large area were sampled in the same one-third area (2.33 m2 [25.l ft2]) of each quadrant. The count for each of these species was multiplied by three to provide an abundance estimate for the entire quadrant.

The second sampling method, the subtidal line contact (SLC) method, involved identification of understory algal species, habitat-forming sessile invertebrates, and substrates at randomized points within each arc quadrant. Fifty randomly selected contact points from the possible 100 points were sampled within each quadrant (a total of 200 points per station) using a marked reference line. The same set of sampling points was used at all stations during a survey, and a new set of randomized points was selected at the start of each survey. The occurrence of all algal species, sessile invertebrates, kelp holdfasts, and substrates observed directly under or over the sampling points was recorded. In each quadrant, algal species which were present but not contacted by any of the sample points were also recorded as "present". The percent cover of each taxon and substrate type at a station was calculated using the number of points contacted for each taxon and the total number of points sampled at that station.

The third sampling method, the subtidal fixed quadrat (SFQ) method, recorded the abundance of invertebrates in four permanent circular 0.25 m 2 (2. 7 ft2) quadrats. A quadrat was located within each of the four SAQ quadrants, generally on bedrock or boulder substrate. Depending upon the degree of topographical relief available at each station, two of the quadrats were located on horizontal-aspect surfaces and two quadrats were located on vertical-aspect surfaces. All non-encrusting taxa were identified and counted. The coverage of encrusting taxa (e.g., colonial/

social tunicates) was quantified in square inch units if the total equaled or exceeded 6.5 cm2 (1 square inch). Otherwise, the encrusting taxon was recorded as "present". The coverage estimates were converted to percentage cover for analysis.

The survey mean for each taxon at each station from the four surveys completed during the year are presented in Appendices E (SAQ), F (SLC), and G (SFQ). The survey means were calculated from the four quadrats or quadrants at each station. The annual mean and standard deviation for each taxon at each station was also calculated from the surveys sampled during the year. Algal taxa in the SLC study were given a value of 0.01 if recorded as present.

Additionally, encrusting taxa in the SFQ study, and invertebrates in the SAQ study recorded as present (no numeric value) were given a value of 0.1 if recorded as cover, or a value of 1 if recorded as a count for calculating abundance statistics.

6.0 Surface Canopy Kelps 6.0 Surface Canopy Kelps The locations and extent of the surface kelp canopies of Nereocystis luetkeana (bull kelp) and Macrocystis pyrifera (giant kelp) in Diablo Cove - (Figure 8) were surveyed and mapped from direct observations. This task has been completed annually since the 1970s to document long-term changes in the annual maximum extent of the surface kelp canopies in Diablo Cove. Near the end of the annual growth cycle in October, nearly all bull kelp plants have reached the surface and can be counted. Surface canopies of giant kelp also tend to be abundant during this period. Two observers at the headland of North Diab lo Cove and two observers at the headland of South Diablo Cove (South Diablo Point) counted and mapped the distribution of individual bull kelp plants and mapped the spatial extent of giant kelp canopies (Figure 9). Bull kelp plants with bare bulbs only and no attached fronds, indicating senescence in the plants, were noted when observed.

The 2022 annual habit-forming kelp survey was conducted on October 26, 2022. Scattered beds of giant kelp were observed in Diablo Cove. Scattered bull kelp was observed in Diablo Cove (Figure 9). There are no appendix figures or data tables associated with this survey.

7.0 Subtidal Fishes 7 .0 Subtidal Fishes Visual counts of fishes were conducted by divers at 12 permanent subtidal stations (three stations in each of four areas) located within and outside of Diab lo Cove (Figure 10). Temperature sensor data indicated that three stations located in Patton Cove were beyond the influence of the DCPP thermal discharge. The temperature data indicated that the remaining nine stations in Field's Cove, North Diab lo Cove, and South Diablo Cove had varying levels of contact with the warm water from the discharge.

Each station consisted of a benthic and a midwater transect. Each transect was 50 m (164 ft) long by 4 m (13 ft) wide. The benthic transect was located 1 m (3 ft) above the bottom, and the midwater transect was located above and parallel to the benthic transect approximately midway between the surface and the bottom. A station was sampled by first deploying a fiberglass measuring tape along a pre-determined compass course. The tape delineated the centerline of the benthic and midwater transects for that station.

7.0 Subtidal Fishes The transects on the three stations in each area crossed one another, resulting in a small overlap among the sampling areas for the transects. The small overlap did not affect the data summaries because the numbers of fish counted were averaged by area, and the mobility of most fish added to the independence of the transects.

A survey team consisted of two divers. Each diver counted fish at the benthic and the midwater transect, alternating the direction of sampling along the transect lines. This sampling technique allowed a more thorough inspection of potential fish habitats from all angles of view than would have been possible by a single diver progressing along a transect in only one direction. The data recorded for each transect was the average of the counts from both divers. Fish were identified to species, if possible, but juveniles of some species with similar appearances were combined into broader categories if necessary. During each survey, the stations (midwater and benthic transects) were usually sampled twice.

The mean abundance for each taxon by survey and area for benthic and midwater transects are presented in Appendix H for each of the four sampling areas. The tables also list the annual mean and standard deviation for each taxon. The survey dates shown for each area in the tables represent the average date of the combined stations sampled.
