By application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated January 9,2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 12023A026) as supplemented by letters dated July 30 and November 14,2012 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML 12220A548 and ML 12334A379, respectively), Energy Northwest (the licensee), requested an amendment to the Facility Operating License and Technical Specifications (TSs) for Columbia Generating Station (Columbia). The supplemental letters dated July 30 and November 14, 2012, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the NRC staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on July 24,2012 (77 FR 43374). The proposed amendment implements formatting changes to the Operating License and TSs resulting from a change in the word proceSSing programs and the adoption of TSTF-GG-05-01, "Writers Guide for Plant-Specific Improved Technical Specifications," Revision 1. In addition to these administrative changes, the amendment implements editorial changes which do not result in any changes to the technical or operating requirements.

This formatting error corrected to conform to the guidance in TSTF-GG-05-01 Section This is an editorial change. 
-3.2.16 TS 5.3.2 As the licensee stated in the January 9,2012, submittal: The acronym "TS" is not defined in Section 5.3 and is not standard usage. This acronym is replaced with the word "Specification" to conform to standard language in other places in Chapter 5. This is an editorial change. 3.2.17 TS 5.7.1.e and 5.7.2.e As the licensee stated in the January 9, 2012, submittal: The final sentence in both specifications contains a typographical error in that the word "dose" in the following sentence "and pre-job briefing dose not require documentation." should be replaced with the word "does". This error is corrected. This is an editorial change. 3.2.18 TS 5.7.2 As the licensee stated in the January 9,2012, submittal: The phrase "radiation source" in the title should be plural to conform to the language in TS 5.7.1.

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 Columbia Generating Station facility. The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:
(1)    Verity that the plant is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the 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 effects of facility construction and operation and of actions taken to control those effects.
Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.
1-1                    Amendment No . .:t-e9 225
 
2.0      Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL dated December 1981, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of Columbia Generating Station. Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment.
2.1      Aquatic Resources Issues The one aquatic issue raised by the staff in the FES-OL was that the disposal of chlorinated effluents in the river could have significant impacts on Hanford Reach biota if chlorine content were not carefully controlled (Section 5.5.2.2). This matter is addressed by the NPDES permit issued by the State of Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC). Also, in the FES-OL (Section 5.5.3.2), the staff acknowledged that entrainment and impingement studies might be performed in accordance with special conditions of the water withdrawal permit, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The NRC will rely on these agencies for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.
2.2      Terrestrial Resources Issues There is uncertainty in predicting the potential impact of cooling tower drift on vegetation surrounding the site (FES Section 5.5.1.1). To resolve the uncertainty, the staff recommended a monitoring program to detect any effects of cooling tower drift on vegetation (FES Section 5.5.3.1 ).
NRC requirements with regard to the terrestrial issues are specified in Subsection 4.2 of this EPP.
2-1                      Amendment No. .:tOO 225
 
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 plant 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 unauthorized construction or operation 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 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. When such activity involves a change in the EPP, 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.
A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns: (1) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level or (3) a matter, not previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.
The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question or constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to meet the objectives specified in Section 1. O. The licensee shall include as part of its Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests and experiments.
3-1                      Amendment No.    ~    225
 
3.2      Reporting Related to the NPDES Permit and State Certification Changes to, or renewals of, the NPDES Permit or the State certification shall be reported to the NRC within 30 days following the date the change or renewal is approved. If a permit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is appealed and stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.
The NRC shall be notified of changes to the effective NPDES Permit proposed by t.he licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the same time it is submitted to the permitting agency. The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES Permit at the same time the application is submitted to the permitting agency.
3.3      Changes Required for Compliance with Other Environmental Regulations Changes in plant design or operation and performance of tests or experiments which are required to achieve compliance with other Federal, State, and local environmental regulations are not sUbject to the requirements of Section 3.1.
3-2                        Amendment No. 225
 
4.0      Environmental Conditions 4.1      Unusual or Important Environmental Events Any occurrence of an unusual or important event that indicates or could result in significant environmental impact causally related to plant operation shall be recorded and reported to the NRC within 24 hours followed by a written report per Subsection 5.4.2. The following are examples: excessive bird impaction events, onsite plant or animal disease outbreaks, mortality or unusual occurrence of any species protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, fish kills, increase in nuisance organisms or conditions, and a significant, unanticipated or emergency discharge of waste water or chemical substances.
No routine monitoring programs are required to implement this condition.
4.2      Environmental Monitoring 4.2.1    Cooling Tower Drift Study A terrestrial monitoring program shall be conducted to verify the level of effect from cooling tower drift. Soil and vegetation samples will be collected at locations subject to drift deposition and at control stations and analyzed for relevant chemical and physical parameters. Samples will be collected once per year during the seasonal peak of plant growth commencing no later than 18 months after issuance of a full power (100%) license. This program shall be terminated when data from three growing seasons after commencement of full power operation have been collected, provided the data support hypotheses of no adverse effects. Results and interpretation shall be included as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (Subsection 5.4.1).
4-1                          Amendment No. 225
 
5.0    Administrative Procedures 5.1    Review and Audit The licensee shall provide for review and audit of compliance with the Environmental Protection Plan. The audits shall be conducted independently of the individual or groups responsible for performing the specific activity. A description of the organization structure utilized to achieve the independent review and audit function and results of the audit activities shall be maintained and made available for inspection.
5.2      Records Retention Records and logs relative to the environmental aspects of station operation shall be made and retained in a manner convenient for review and inspection. These records and logs shall be made available to NRC on request.
Records of modifications to plant structures, systems and components determined to potentially affect the continued protection of the environment shall be retained for the life of the plant. All other records, data and logs relating to this EPP shall be retained for five years or, where applicable, in accordance with the requirements of other agencies.
5.3    Changes in Environmental Protection Plan Request for change in the Environmental Protection Plan shall include an assessment of the environmental impact of the proposed change and a supporting justification. Implementation of such changes in the EPP shall not commence prior to NRC approval of the proposed changes in the form of a license amendment incorporating the appropriate revision to the Environmental Protection Plan.

==4.0    STATE CONSULTATION==
 
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Washington State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.
 
==5.0    ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION==
 
The amendment changes a requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding
 
                                                  - 6 published in the Federal Register on July 24,2012 (77 FR 43374). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
 
==6.0    CONCLUSION==
 
The Commission has concluded, based on the descriptions and changes discussed above, that:
(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors. Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Required Actions, Completion Times, Surveillances, and Frequencies. The only logical connectors that appear in TS are AND and OR. The physical arrangement of these connectors constitutes logical conventions with specific meanings. BACKGROUND Several levels of logic may be used to state Required Actions. These levels are identified by the placement (or nesting) of the logical connectors and by the number assigned to each Required Action. The first level of logic is identified by the first digit of the number assigned to a Required Action and the placement of the logical connector in the first level of nesting (Le., left justified with the number of the Required Action). The successive levels of logic are identified by additional digits of the Required Action number and by successive indentions of the logical connectors. . When logical connectors are used to state a Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of logic is used, and the logical connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance. or Frequency. EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of logical connectors. 1.2 Logical Connectors EXAM PLE 1.2-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 Verify . .. A2 Restore ... In this example, the logical connector AND is used to indicate that, when in Condition A, both Required Actions A 1 and A.2 must be completed. Columbia Generating Station 1.2-1 Amendment No. +49,.te9 225

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.2 Logical Connectors EXAMPLES (continued) EXAMPLE 1.2-2 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 Trip ... A.2.1 Verify ... A.2.2.1 Reduce ... A.2.2.2 Perform ... A.3 Align ... This example represents a more complicated use of logical connectors. Required Actions A.1, A.2, and A.3 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed as indicated by the use of the logical connector OR and the left justified placement. Anyone of these three Actions may be chosen. If A.2 is chosen, then both A.2.1 and A.2.2 must be performed as indicated by the logical connector AND. Required Action A.2.2 is met by performing A.2.2.1 or A.2.2.2. The indented position of the logical connector OR indicates that A.2.2.1 and A.2.2.2 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed. Columbia Generating Station 1.2-2 Amendment No. 449,4-69 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.3 Completion Times PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use. BACKGROUND Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) specify minimum requirements for ensuring safe operation of the unit. The ACTIONS associated with an LCO state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action(s) and Completion Time(s). DESCRIPTION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to the time of discovery of a situation (e.g., inoperable equipment or variable not within limits) that requires entering an ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the unit is in a MODE or specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO. Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time. An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until the Condition no longer exists or the unit is not within the LCO Applicability. If situations are discovered that require entry into more than one Condition at a time within a single LCO (multiple Conditions), the Required Actions for each Condition must be performed within the associated Completion Time. When in multiple Conditions, separate Completion Times are tracked for each Condition starting from the time of discovery of the situation that required entry into the Condition. Once a Condition has been entered, subsequent divisions, subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be inoperable or not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition unless specifically stated. The Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply to each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition. However, when a subsequent division, subsystem, component, or variable expressed in the Condition is discovered to be inoperable or not within limits, the Completion Time(s) may be extended. To apply this Completion Time extension, two criteria must first be met. The subsequent inoperability:

a. Must exist concurrent with the first inoperability; and
b. Must remain inoperable or not within limits after the first inoperability is resolved.

Columbia Generating Station 1.3-1 Amendment No. 449,4$ 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times DESCRIPTION (continued) The total Completion Time allowed for completing a Required Action to address the subsequent inoperability shall be limited to the more restrictive of either:

a. The stated Completion Time, as measured from the initial entry into the Condition, plus an additional 24 hours; or
b. The stated Completion Time as measured from discovery of the subsequent inoperability.

The above Completion Time extension does not apply to those Specifications that have exceptions that allow completely separate re entry into the Condition (for each division, subsystem, component, or variable expressed in the Condition) and separate tracking of Completion Times based on this re-entry. These exceptions are stated in individual Specifications. The above Completion Time extension does not apply to a Completion Time with a modified "time zero." This modified "time zero" may be expressed as a repetitive time (Le., "once per 8 hours," where the Completion Time is referenced from a previous completion of the Required Action versus the time of Condition entry) or as a time modified by the phrase "from discovery ... " Example 1.3-3 illustrates one use of this type of Completion Time. The 10 day Completion Time specified for Conditions A and B in Example 1.3-3 may not be extended. EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of Completion Times with different types of Conditions and changing Conditions. EXAMPLE 1.3-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME B. Required B.1 Be in MODE 3. 12 hours Action and associated Completion Time not met. B.2 Be in MODE 4. 36 hours Condition B has two Required Actions. Each Required Action has its own separate Completion Time. Each Completion Time is referenced to the time that Condition B is entered. Columbia Generating Station 1.3-2 Amendment No. 449,469 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES (continued) The Required Actions of Condition B are to be in MODE 3 within 12 hours AND in MODE 4 within 36 hours. A total of 12 hours is allowed for reaching MODE 3 and a total of 36 hours (not 48 hours) is allowed for reaching MODE 4 from the time that Condition B was entered. If MODE 3 is reached within 6 hours, the time allowed for reaching MODE 4 is the next 30 hours because the total time allowed for reaching MODE 4 is 36 hours. If Condition B is entered while in MODE 3, the time allowed for reaching MODE 4 is the next 36 hours. EXAMPLE 1.3-2 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One pump A.1 Restore pump to 7 days inoperable. OPERABLE status. B. Required B.1 Be in MODE 3. 12 hours Action and associated AND Completion Time not met. B.2 Be in MODE 4. 36 hours When a pump is declared inoperable, Condition A is entered. If the pump is not restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the inoperable pump is restored to OPERABLE status after Condition B is entered, Conditions A and B are exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated. When a second pump is declared inoperable while the first pump is still inoperable, Condition A is not re-entered for the second pump. LCO 3.0.3 is entered, since the ACTIONS do not include a Condition for more than one inoperable pump. The Completion Time clock for Condition A does not stop after LCO 3.0.3 is entered, but continues to be tracked from the time Condition A was initially entered. Columbia Generating Station 1.3-3 Amendment No. .:t49,+e9 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES (continued) While in LCO 3.0.3, if one of the inoperable pumps is restored to OPERABLE status and the Completion Time for Condition A has not expired, LCO 3.0.3 may be exited and operation continued in accordance with Condition A. While in LCO 3.0.3, if one of the inoperable pumps is restored to OPERABLE status and the Completion Time for Condition A has expired, LCO 3.0.3 may be exited and operation continued in accordance with Condition B. The Completion Time for Condition B is tracked from the time the Condition A Completion Time expired. On restoring one of the pumps to OPERABLE status, the Condition A Completion Time is not reset, but continues from the time the first pump was declared inoperable. This Completion Time may be extended if the pump restored to OPERABLE status was the first inoperable pump. A 24 hour extension to the stated 7 days is allowed, provided this does not result in the second pump being inoperable for> 7 days. Columbia Generating Station 1.3-4 Amendment No. 44B,4W 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES (continued) EXAMPLE 1.3-3 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One A.1 Restore Function X 7 days Function X subsystem to subsystem OPERABLE status. AND inoperable. 10 days from discovery of failure to meet the LCO B. One B.1 Restore Function Y 72 hours Function Y subsystem to subsystem OPERABLE status. AND inoperable. 10 days from discovery of failure to meet the LCO C. One C.1 Restore Function X 72 hours Function X subsystem to subsystem OPERABLE status. inoperable. OR AND C.2 Restore Function Y 72 hours One subsystem to Function Y OPERABLE status. subsystem inoperable. When one Function X subsystem and one Function Y subsystem are inoperable, Condition A and Condition B are concurrently applicable. The Completion Times for Condition A and Condition B are tracked separately for each subsystem, starting from the time each subsystem was declared inoperable and the Condition was entered. A separate Completion Time is established for Condition C and tracked from the time the second subsystem was declared inoperable (I.e., the time the situation described in Condition C was discovered). Columbia Generating Station 1.3-5 Amendment No. 449,499 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES (continued) If Required Action C.2 is completed within the specified Completion Time, Conditions Band C are exited. If the Completion Time for Required Action A.1 has not expired, operation may continue in accordance with Condition A. The remaining Completion Time in Condition A is measured from the time the affected subsystem was declared inoperable (i.e., initial entry into Condition A). The Completion Times of Conditions A and B are modified by a logical connector, with a separate 10 day Completion Time measured from the time it was discovered the LCO was not met. In this example. without the separate Completion Time, it would be possible to alternate between Conditions A, B, and C in such a manner that operation could continue indefinitely without ever restoring systems to meet the LCO. The separate Completion Time modified by the phrase "from discovery of failure to meet the LCO" is designed to prevent indefinite continued operation while not meeting the LCO. This Completion Time allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the Completion Time "clock". In this instance, the Completion Time "time zero" is specified as commencing at the time the LCO was initially not met, instead of at the time the associated Condition was entered. ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One or more A.1 Restore valve(s) to 4 hours valves OPERABLE status. inoperable. B. Required B.1 Be in MODE 3. 12 hours Action and associated AND Completion Time not met. B.2 Be in MODE 4. 36 hours A single Completion Time is used for any number of valves inoperable at the same time. The Completion Time associated with Condition A is based on the initial entry into Condition A and is not tracked on a per valve basis. Declaring subsequent valves inoperable, while Condition A is still in effect, does not trigger the tracking of separate Completion Times. Columbia Generating Station Amendment No. +49,469 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES (continued) Once one of the valves has been restored to OPERABLE status, the Condition A Completion Time is not reset, but continues from the time the first valve was declared inoperable. The Completion Time may be extended if the valve restored to OPERABLE status was the first inoperable valve. The Condition A Completion Time may be extended for up to 4 hours provided this does not result in any subsequent valve being inoperable for> 4 hours. If the Completion Time of 4 hours (pi us the extension) expires while one or more valves are still inoperable, Condition B is entered. EXAMPLE 1.3-5 ACTIONS

                   --------------------------------------------NOTE-------------------------------------------

Separate Condition entry is allowed for each inoperable valve. CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One or more A.1 Restore valve to 4 hours valves OPERABLE status. inoperable. B. Required B.1 Be in MODE 3. 12 hours Action and associated AND Completion Time not met. B.2 Be in MODE 4. 36 hours The Note above the ACTIONS Table is a method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked. If this method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked was applicable only to a specific Condition, the Note would appear in that Condition rather than at the top of the ACTIONS Table. Columbia Generating Station 1.3-7 Amendment No. -149,+SB 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES (continued) The Note allows Condition A to be entered separately for each inoperable valve, and Completion Times tracked on a per valve basis. When a valve is declared inoperable, Condition A is entered and its Completion Time starts. If subsequent valves are declared inoperable, Condition A is entered for each valve and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each valve. If the Completion Time associated with a valve in Condition A expires, Condition B is entered for that valve. If the Completion Times associated with subsequent valves in Condition A expire, Condition B is entered separately for each valve and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each valve. If a valve that caused entry into Condition B is restored to OPERABLE status, Condition B is exited for that valve. Since the Note in this example allows multiple Condition entry and tracking of separate Completion Times, Completion Time extensions do not apply. EXAMPLE 1.3-6 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One channel A.1 Perform SR 3.x.x.x. Once per 8 hours inoperable. OR A.2 Reduce THERMAL 8 hours POWER to

50% RTP.

B. Required B.1 Be in MODE 3. 12 hours Action and associated Completion Time not met. Columbia Generating Station 1.3-8 Amendment No. 449-,-lS9 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES (continued) Entry into Condition A offers a choice between Required Action A.1 or A.2. Required Action A.1 has a "once per" Completion Time, which qualifies for the 25% extension, per SR 3.0.2, to each performance after the initial performance. The initial 8 hour interval of Required Action A.1 begins when Condition A is entered and the initial performance of Required Action A.1 must be completed within the first 8 hour interval. If Required Action A.1 is followed and the Required Action is not met within the Completion Time (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2), Condition B is entered. If Required Action A.2 is followed and the Completion Time of 8 hours is not met, Condition B is entered. If after entry into Condition B, Required Action A.1 or A.2 is met, Condition B is exited and operation may then continue in Condition A. EXAMPLE 1.3-7 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One A.1 Verify affected 1 hour subsystem subsystem isolated. inoperable. AND Once per 8 hours thereafter AND A.2 Restore subsystem 72 hours to OPERABLE status. B. Required B.1 Be in MODE 3. 12 hours Action and associated AND Completion Time not met. B.2 Be in MODE 4. 36 hours Columbia Generating Station 1.3-9 Amendment No. 449,4(3.9 225

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES (continued) Required Action A.1 has two Completion Times. The 1 hour Completion Time begins at the time the Condition is entered and each "Once per 8 hours thereafter" interval begins upon performance of Required Action A.1. If after Condition A is entered, Required Action A.1 is not met within either the initial 1 hour or any subsequent 8 hour interval from the previous performance (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2), Condition B is entered. The Completion Time clock for Condition A does not stop after Condition B is entered, but continues from the time Condition A was initially entered. If Required Action A.1 is met after Condition B is entered, Condition B is exited and operation may continue in accordance with Condition A, provided the Completion Time for Required Action A.2 has not expired. IMMEDIATE When "Immediately" is used as a Completion Time, the Required Action COMPLETION TIME should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner. Columbia Generating Station 1.3-10 Amendment No. 449,469 225

Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements. DESCRIPTION Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified Frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the associated Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO). An understanding of the correct application of the specified Frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR. The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0, "Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability." The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR, as well as certain Notes in the Surveillance column that modify performance requirements. Sometimes special situations dictate when the requirements of a Surveillance are to be met. They are "otherwise stated" conditions allowed by SR 3.0.1. They may be stated as clarifying Notes in the Surveillance, as part of the Surveillance, or both. Situations where a Surveillance could be required (Le., its Frequency could expire), but where it is not possible or not desired that it be performed until sometime after the associated LCO is within its Applicability, represent potential SR 3.0.4 conflicts. To avoid these conflicts, the SR (Le., the Surveillance or the Frequency) is stated such that it is only "required" when it can be and should be performed. With an SR satisfied, SR 3.0.4 imposes no restriction. The use of "met" or "performed" in these instances conveys specified meanings. A Surveillance is "met" only when the acceptance criteria are satisfied. Known failure of the requirements of a Surveillance, even without a Surveillance specifically being "performed," constitutes a Surveillance not "met." "Performance" refers only to the requirement to specifically determine the ability to meet the acceptance criteria. Some Surveillances contain notes that modify the Frequency of performance or the conditions during which the acceptance criteria must be satisfied. For these Surveillances, the MODE-entry restrictions of SR 3.0.4 may not apply. Such a Surveillance is not required to be performed prior to entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the associated LCO if any of the following three conditions are satisfied:

a. The Surveillance is not required to be met in the MODE or other specified condition to be entered; or Columbia Generating Station 1.4-1 Amendment No. 4$,:wa 225

Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency DESCRIPTION (continued)

b. The Surveillance is required to be met in the MODE or other specified condition to be entered, but has been performed within the speci'fied Frequency (Le., it is current) and is known not to be failed; or
c. The Surveillance is required to be met, but not performed, in the MODE or other specified condition to be entered, and is known not to be failed.

Examples 1.4-3, 1.4-4, 1.4-5, and 1.4-6 discusses these special situations. EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified. In these examples, the Applicability of the LCO (LCO not shown) is MODES 1, 2, and 3. EXAMPLE 1.4-1 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Perform CHANNEL CHECK. 12 hours Example 1.4-1 contains the type of SR most often encountered in the Technical Specifications (TS). The Frequency specifies an interval (12 hours) during which the associated Surveillance must be performed at least one time. Performance of the Surveillance initiates the subsequent interval. Although the Frequency is stated as 12 hours, an extension of the time interval to 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency is allowed by SR 3.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met per SR 3.0.1 (such as when the equipment is inoperable, a variable is outside specified limits, or the unit is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the unit is in a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the LCO, and the performance of the Surveillance is not otherwise modified (refer to Examples 1.4-3 and 1.4-4), then SR 3.0.3 becomes applicable. Columbia Generating Station 1.4-2 Amendment No. 4S9,2Q& 225

Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency EXAMPLES (continued) If the interval as specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the unit is not in a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the LCO for which performance of the SR is required, then SR 3.0.4 becomes applicable. The Surveillance must be performed within the Frequency requirements of SR 3.0.2, as modified by SR 3.0.3, prior to entry into the MODE or other specified condition or the LCO is considered not met (in accordance with SR 3.0.1) and LCO 3.0.4 becomes applicable. EXAMPLE 1.4-2 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify flow is within limits. Once within 12 hours after

                                                                            ;::::25% RTP 24 hours thereafter Example 1.4-2 has two Frequencies. The first is a one time performance Frequency, and the second is of the type shown in Example 1.4-1. The logical connector "AND" indicates that both Frequency requirements must be met. Each time reactor power is increased from a power level
                   < 25% RTP to ~ 25% RTP, the Surveillance must be performed within 12 hours.

The use of "once" indicates a single performance will satisfy the specified Frequency (assuming no other Frequencies are connected by "AND"). This type of Frequency does not qualify for the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2.

                   "Thereafter" indicates future performances must be established per SR 3.0.2, but only after a specified condition is first met (Le., the "once" performance in this example). If reactor power decreases to < 25% RTP, the measurement of both intervals stops. New intervals start upon reactor power reaching 25% RTP.

                      ~ 25% RTP.

Perform channel adjustment. 7 days The interval continues whether or not the unit operation is < 25% RTP between performances. As the Note modifies the required performance of the Surveillance, it is construed to be part of the "specified Frequency." Should the 7 day interval be exceeded while operation is < 25% RTP, this Note allows 12 hours after power reaches ~ 25% RTP to perform the Surveillance. The Surveillance is still considered to be within the "specified Frequency." Therefore, if the Surveillance were not performed within the 7 day interval (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2), but operation was < 25% RTP, it would not constitute a failure of the SR or failure to meet the LCO. Also, no violation of SR 3.0.4 occurs when changing MODES, even with the 7 day Frequency not met, provided operation does not exceed 12 hours (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2) with power

                   ~ 25% RTP.

Once the unit reaches 25% RTP, 12 hours would be allowed for completing the Surveillance. If the Surveillance were not performed within this 12 hour interval (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2), there would then be a failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency, and the provisions of SR 3.0.3 would apply.

The interval measurement for the Frequency of this Surveillance continues at all times, as described in Example 1.4-1. However, the Note constitutes an "otherwise stated" exception to the Applicability of this Surveillance. Therefore, if the Surveillance were not performed within the 24 hour interval (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2), but the unit was not in MODE 1, there would be no failure of the SR nor failure to meet the LCO. Therefore, no violation of SR 3.0.4 occurs when changing MODES, even with the 24 hour Frequency exceeded, provided the MODE change was not made into MODE 1. Prior to entering MODE 1 (assuming again that the 24 hour Frequency were not met). SR 3.0.4 would require satisfying the SR. Columbia Generating Station 1.4-5 Amendment No. ~,~ 225

Only required to be performed in MODE 1. Perform complete cycle of the valve. 7 days The interval continues, whether or not the unit operation is in MODE 1, 2, or 3 (the assumed Applicability of the associated LCO) between performances. As the Note modifies the required performance of the Surveillance, the Note is construed to be part of the "specified Frequency." Should the 7 day interval be exceeded while operation is not in MODE 1, this Note allows entry into and operation in MODES 2 and 3 to perform the Surveillance. The Surveillance is still considered to be performed within the "specified Frequency" if completed prior to entering MODE 1. Therefore. if the Surveillance were not performed within the 7 day (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2) interval, but operation was not in MODE 1, it would not constitute a failure of the SR or failure to meet the LCO. Also no violation of SR 3.0.4 occurs when changing MODES. even with the 7 day Frequency not met, provided operation does not result in entry into MODE 1. Once the unit reaches MODE 1, the requirement for the Surveillance to be performed within its specified Frequency applies and would require that the Surveillance had been performed. If the Surveillance were not performed prior to entering MODE 1, there would then be a failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency, and the provisions of SR 3.0.3 would apply.

Verify parameter is within limits. 24 hours Example 1.4-6 specifies that the requirements of this Surveillance do not have to be met while the unit is in MODE 3 (the assumed Applicability of the associated LCO is MODES 1, 2, and 3). The interval measurement for the Frequency of this Surveillance continues at all times, as described in Example 1.4-1. However, the Note constitutes an "otherwise stated" exception to the Applicability of this Surveillance. Therefore, if the Surveillance were not performed within the 24 hour interval (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2), and the unit was in MODE 3, there would be no failure of the SR nor failure to meet the LCO.

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 Columbia Generating Station facility. The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows: (1) Verity that the plant is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the 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 effects of facility construction and operation and of actions taken to control those effects. Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit. 1-1 Amendment No . .:t-e9 225

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL dated December 1981, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of Columbia Generating Station. Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment. 2.1 Aquatic Resources Issues The one aquatic issue raised by the staff in the FES-OL was that the disposal of chlorinated effluents in the river could have significant impacts on Hanford Reach biota if chlorine content were not carefully controlled (Section 5.5.2.2). This matter is addressed by the NPDES permit issued by the State of Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC). Also, in the FES-OL (Section 5.5.3.2), the staff acknowledged that entrainment and impingement studies might be performed in accordance with special conditions of the water withdrawal permit, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The NRC will rely on these agencies for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota. 2.2 Terrestrial Resources Issues There is uncertainty in predicting the potential impact of cooling tower drift on vegetation surrounding the site (FES Section 5.5.1.1). To resolve the uncertainty, the staff recommended a monitoring program to detect any effects of cooling tower drift on vegetation (FES Section 5.5.3.1 ). NRC requirements with regard to the terrestrial issues are specified in Subsection 4.2 of this EPP. 2-1 Amendment No. .:tOO 225

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 plant 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 unauthorized construction or operation 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 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. When such activity involves a change in the EPP, 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. A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns: (1) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level or (3) a matter, not previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact. The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question or constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to meet the objectives specified in Section 1. O. The licensee shall include as part of its Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests and experiments. 3-1 Amendment No. ~ 225

3.2 Reporting Related to the NPDES Permit and State Certification Changes to, or renewals of, the NPDES Permit or the State certification shall be reported to the NRC within 30 days following the date the change or renewal is approved. If a permit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is appealed and stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted. The NRC shall be notified of changes to the effective NPDES Permit proposed by t.he licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the same time it is submitted to the permitting agency. The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES Permit at the same time the application is submitted to the permitting agency. 3.3 Changes Required for Compliance with Other Environmental Regulations Changes in plant design or operation and performance of tests or experiments which are required to achieve compliance with other Federal, State, and local environmental regulations are not sUbject to the requirements of Section 3.1. 3-2 Amendment No. 225

4.0 Environmental Conditions 4.1 Unusual or Important Environmental Events Any occurrence of an unusual or important event that indicates or could result in significant environmental impact causally related to plant operation shall be recorded and reported to the NRC within 24 hours followed by a written report per Subsection 5.4.2. The following are examples: excessive bird impaction events, onsite plant or animal disease outbreaks, mortality or unusual occurrence of any species protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, fish kills, increase in nuisance organisms or conditions, and a significant, unanticipated or emergency discharge of waste water or chemical substances. No routine monitoring programs are required to implement this condition. 4.2 Environmental Monitoring 4.2.1 Cooling Tower Drift Study A terrestrial monitoring program shall be conducted to verify the level of effect from cooling tower drift. Soil and vegetation samples will be collected at locations subject to drift deposition and at control stations and analyzed for relevant chemical and physical parameters. Samples will be collected once per year during the seasonal peak of plant growth commencing no later than 18 months after issuance of a full power (100%) license. This program shall be terminated when data from three growing seasons after commencement of full power operation have been collected, provided the data support hypotheses of no adverse effects. Results and interpretation shall be included as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (Subsection 5.4.1). 4-1 Amendment No. 225

5.0 Administrative Procedures 5.1 Review and Audit The licensee shall provide for review and audit of compliance with the Environmental Protection Plan. The audits shall be conducted independently of the individual or groups responsible for performing the specific activity. A description of the organization structure utilized to achieve the independent review and audit function and results of the audit activities shall be maintained and made available for inspection. 5.2 Records Retention Records and logs relative to the environmental aspects of station operation shall be made and retained in a manner convenient for review and inspection. These records and logs shall be made available to NRC on request. Records of modifications to plant structures, systems and components determined to potentially affect the continued protection of the environment shall be retained for the life of the plant. All other records, data and logs relating to this EPP shall be retained for five years or, where applicable, in accordance with the requirements of other agencies. 5.3 Changes in Environmental Protection Plan Request for change in the Environmental Protection Plan shall include an assessment of the environmental impact of the proposed change and a supporting justification. Implementation of such changes in the EPP shall not commence prior to NRC approval of the proposed changes in the form of a license amendment incorporating the appropriate revision to the Environmental Protection Plan. 5-1 Amendment No. 225

5.4 Plant Reporting Requirements 5.4.1 Routine Reports An Annual Environmental Operating Report describing implementation of this EPP for the previous year shall be submitted to the NRC prior to May 1 of each year. The initial report shall be submitted prior to May 1 of the year following issuance of the operating license. The period of the first report shall begin with the date of issuance of the operating license. The report shall include summaries and analyses of the results of the environmental protection activities required by Subsection 4.2 of this Environmental Protection Plan for the report period, including a comparison with and related preoperational studies, operational controls (as appropriate), and previous non-radiological environmental monitoring reports, and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operation on the environment. If harmful effects or evidence of trends toward irreversible damage to the environment are observed, the licensee shall provide a detailed analysis of the data and a proposed course of mitigating action. The Annual Environmental Operating Report shall also include: (a) A list of EPP noncompliances and the corrective actions taken to remedy them. (b) A list of all changes in station design or operation, tests, and experiments made in accordance with Subsection 3.1 which involved a potentially significant unreviewed environmental question. (c) A list of nonroutine reports submitted in accordance with Subsection 5.4.2. (d) A summary of NPDES permit related water quality reports sent to EFSEC during the report period. In the event that some results are not available by the report due date, the report shall be submitted noting and explaining the missing results. The missing results shall be submitted as soon as possible in a supplementary report. 5-2 Amendment No. 225

5.4.2 Nonroutine Reports A written report shall be submitted to the NRC within 30 days of occurrence of a nonroutine event. The report shall (a) describe. analyze, and evaluate the event, including extent and magnitude of the impact and plant operating characteristics, (b) describe the probable cause of the event. (c) indicate the action taken to correct the reported event, (d) indicate the corrective action taken to preclude repetition of the event and to prevent similar occurrences involving similar components or systems, and (e) indicate the agencies notified and their preliminary responses.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 225 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-21 ENERGY NORTHWEST COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-397

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated January 9,2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12023A026) as supplemented by letters dated July 30 and November 14,2012 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML12220A548 and ML12334A379, respectively), Energy Northwest (the licensee), requested an amendment to the Facility Operating License and Technical Specifications (TSs) for Columbia Generating Station (Columbia). The supplemental letters dated July 30 and November 14, 2012, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the NRC staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on July 24,2012 (77 FR 43374). The proposed amendment implements formatting changes to the Operating License and TSs resulting from a change in the word proceSSing programs and the adoption of TSTF-GG-05-01, "Writers Guide for Plant-Specific Improved Technical Specifications," Revision 1. In addition to these administrative changes, the amendment implements editorial changes which do not result in any changes to the technical or operating requirements.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act requires applicants for nuclear power plant operating licenses to include TSs as part of the license. The NRC's regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.36, "Technical specifications." The TS requirements in 10 CFR 50.36 include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings and control settings, (2) limiting conditions for operation (LCOs), (3) surveillance requirements (SRs), (4) design features, (5) administrative controls, (6) decommissioning, (7) initial notification, and (8) written reports.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Washington State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendment changes a requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding

                                                  - 6 published in the Federal Register on July 24,2012 (77 FR 43374). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the descriptions and changes discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
