ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PLAN

(NONRADIOLOGICAL)

AUGUST 1987

Beaver Valley Unit 2 B-i Amendment No. 213

1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan

The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of nonradiological environmental values during operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2 (facility). The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:

(1) Verify that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the Final Environmental Statement - Operating License Stage (FES-OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments.

(2) Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State, and local requirements for environmental protection.

(3) Keep NRC informed of the environmental effe cts of facility construction and operation and of actions taken to control those effects.

Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL (September 1985, NUREG-1094) which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's* NPDES permit.

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues

In the FES-OL (NUREG-1094, September 1985), the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2. No aquatic/water quality, terrestrial, or noise issues were identified.

3.0 Consistency Requirements

3.1 Plant Design and Operation

The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perform tests or experiments affecting the environment provided such activities do not involve an unreviewed environmental question and do not involve a change in the EPP*.Changes in station design or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the requirements of this EPP. Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this Section.

Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity. Activities are excluded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environmental effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction. When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activity and obtain prior NRC approval. Such activity and change to the EPP may be implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in Section 5.3 of this EPP.

  • "Licensee" refers to Vistra Operations Company LLC, operator of the facility, and acting as agent for Energy Harbor Nuclear Generation LLC, owner of the facility.
