1. INTRODUCTION AND

SUMMARY

An extended shutdown of Vermont Yankee's operation in 1980 (from September 27 through December 27) for refueling, repairs, and maintenance reduced plant availability to 71.5%, the lowest level since 1973 when generation occurred only 61% of the time.

The open cycle mode of condenser cooling was used on 137 days of operation in 1980; closed cycle cooling was used on 133 days.

The plant operated at an average power level of 93.8% during the 6280 hours0.0727 days <br />1.744 hours <br />0.0104 weeks <br />0.00239 months <br /> of generation in 1980. But the prolonged shutdown reduced the average capacity for the year to 67.0%. Figure 1.1 is a graph of the plant's record of power production in 1980.

This is the tenth report in a series (Webster-Martin 1971, Aquatec 1973-78, 1979a, 1980) that have presented the results of environmental studies conducted under the conditions of Vermont Yankee's discharge permits, from the States of Vermont and New Hampshire, and the Appendix B Technical Specifications of Vermont Yankee's operating. license. In amendment No, 56 to the operating license, dated February 22, 1980, the Appendix B Technical Spec-ifications.were deleted. Some studies mandated by the Tech Specs, but not required under Vermont Yankee's NPDES discharge permit, were continued until early July and are reported here.

Eight sampling stations in the Connecticut River near Vernon, Vermont were-used in earlier studies. The approximate locations of these stations are shown in Figure 1.2. Collections were made at only six of these stations in the 1980 studies. The locations of these six in river miles north and south of Vernon Dam are shown below.

SUMMARY

OF RESULTS Water Quality Studies-The annual peak river flows of spring run-off occurred at Vernon in April, as is usually the case. But the mean discharges in April and in all other months of 1980 were less than the 16 year average discharges for the corresponding months in the period October 1964 through 1979.

The relatively low river flow rates in 1980 resulted in mean monthly temperatures at Station 3, downstream of Vermont Yankee, that were higher in the first nine months of 1980 than the mean river temperature for. those months in the years 1968-1979. The maximum hourly temperature observed at Monitor 3 in February, 41.8 0 F, was greater than the previous maximum for that month, 41.5 0 F in 1977. All other maximum and all minimum temperatures observed at Station 3 were within previously recorded extremes.

At Station 7, upstream, mean monthly temperatures were -higher than 1970-1979 means in April, May, July, August, and September.

No record maximum or minimum hourly temperatures occurred at Station 7 in 1980.

Vermont Yankee operated in 1980 within the three thermal criteria imposed upon such operation by its NPDES permit. These conditions require that Vermont Yankee's discharge not effect a temperature at Monitor 3 greater than 65 0 F; the maximum hourly mean temperature observed there during open cycle operation was

- 57.0*F on May 6. The maximum allowable rate of temperature change between successive hourly average temperatures at Monitor 3 is 5 0 F per hour; the maximum observed was 2.9 0 F per hour in February and March. The maximum allowable increase in river temperature effected by Vermont Yankee's discharge is 13.4 0 F; the maximum difference observed between downstream Monitor 3 temperature and upstream Monitor 7 temperature was 10.4 0F on March 2.

No record monthly maximum or minimum dissolved oxygen concen-trations were observed in 1980 at either Station 3 or 7. The pH maximum of 7.7 at Station 3 in January was 0.2 pH units greater than the January maximum previously observed there, but all monthly minima were greater than those previously recorded.

Grab samples at Stations 3 and 7 were collected on four dates in 1980 - two during open cycle operation, one during closed cycle cooling, and one when Vermont Yankee was not operating - and analyzed for sixteen water quality parameters.... The concentrations of all parameters were found to be within ranges observed in earlier years. .-

Biological Studies Diatoms predominated, as in earlier study years,. in the phyto-plankton samples of 1980. Of these, the more commonly observed species were again Asterionella formosa, Fragilaria capucina and F. crotonensis, Melosira italica and M. varians, and Tabellaria fenestrata. Also, as in prior years, the more commonly observed flagellates were Dinobryon spp., the more common green algae were Pediastrum spp., and the more common blue-greens were Oscillatoria spp.

Algal concentrations in the phytoplankton samples of 1980 were generally low relative to concentrations observed in the years 1970-1974. Only the January counts at Stations 3 and 7 were greater than the mean counts for the years 1970-1974. These TJanuary counts were within two standard deviations of the mean January counts observed in 1970-1974. The September 17 phytoplankton concentra-tion at Station 3 was greater, however, than that predicted by application of a statistical analysis of the 1970-1974 data to the September Station 7 count.

No zooplankton concentration observed at downstream Station 3 in 1980 was outside the 95% confidence limits for'a concentration predicted from upstream counts by statistical analysis of 1970-1974 zooplankton data. However, zooplankton concentrations observed in February and April at Station 7 and in March at Station 3 were more than two standard deviations greater than the corresponding mean concentrations *in the years 1970-1974.

Protozoans, particularly Campanella sp. and.Vorticella sp.,

were the predominant organisms in the samples of late fall and winter. In the samples of the warmer months of the year, rotifers predominated. The more commonly observed rotiferswere, as in earlier years, Keratella cochlearis, Philodina spi., Polyarthra.sp.,

and Synchaeta sp. Copepods, adults and nauplii, were found in all seasons.

Eighty-six genera of benthic fauna were observed in the thirty-eight samples of benthos collected in 1980, twenty-eight by Ekman dredge and ten by Henson trap. The number of genera found in Ekman dredge samples from Stations 2, 3, and 4, locations which-might be affected by Vermont Yankee's heated discharge, were greater than had-been found in earlier years when a comparable sampling effort had been made. Chironomid and caddis fly larvae were found, as has been observed in earlier years, to be the pre-dominant forms in the spring and summer samples' Planarians, fingernail clams, and oligochaetes Were dominant in fall samples.

All fish impinged'on the traveling screens at Vermont Yankee's intake structure during open cycle operation in January through May 1980 were collected, identified, weighed, and measured. Fifty-nine percent of the fish impinged in 1980 were spottail shiners.

Nineteen different species were impinged, but all had been observed in earlier Vermont Yankee studies. The daily mean numbers and weights of fish impinged in each month of.open cycle operation in 1980 were all within two standard deviations of the daily means observed for those months in the five phases of open cycle testing

-in 1974-1978.

Ninety-six collections of finfish were made in the 1980 survey. Sixty-eight collections were made by trap net, twenty-seven by gill net, and one by seine haul. The collections were made at Vermont Yankee Stations 3, 4, 5, and 8 and 1602 fish were captured. Nineteen species of-fish were collected in 1980, four-teen in collections north of Vernon Dam and sixteen in collections south of the dam. All species, except northern pike, had been found in earlier surveys. One specimen of northern pike was collected near Vermont Yankee Station 3 on 16 September 1980.

The percentage by number of white perch in the 1980 survey:

was greater than the percentage of this species in any prior survey. This increase is due primarily to the capture in 1980 of relatively fewer pumpklnseed and bluegill than in earlier surveys.

The percentage by weight of "all other species" in 1980 was also larger than in prior surveys. This is attributable to the rela-tively large biomass of.walleye taken in the 1980 survey, 7.7% of the total weight of all fish captured.

The age-growth data of 1980 for yellow perch, white perch, and smallmouth bass were not significantly different from the i969-1973 data for these species. However, again-in 1980, as in the years 1977-1979, the age-growth data for walleye indicate an enhanced growth rate relative to the data of 1969-1973.

In conclusion, the 1980 studies do not indicate that Vermont Yankee's operation has had a significant adverse effect on the water quality or.aquatic biota of the Connecticut River.

2. CONNECTICUT RIVER DISCHARGE Connecticut River discharge in 1980 at Vernon, Vermont, computed from the records of the Vernon Hydroelectric Station at Vernon Dam, is summarized in Figure 2.1. The mean flow rate, the maximum daily average flow rate, and the minimum daily average flow rate are shown for each month.

The annual maximum discharge rate in 1980 occurred, as is usually the case at Vernon, in April. Mean discharge for that month was 20,380 cfs. The maximum mean daily discharge was 50,480 cfs on 11 April and the maximum hourly discharge, 52,090 cfs, occurred at 1600 on that date.

Connecticut river flow rates have been reported for the years 1967-1979 in previous volumes of this series of reports. Flow rates throughout.1980 were low relative to the discharges that occurred in those years. Mean flows for all twelve months of 19-80 were smaller than the corresponding 16 year means for 1964-1979.

However, in no month of 1980 was the mean flow rate smaller than the record mean minimum for that month in one of the previous 16 years.

Also, the maximum daily average flow rates for all twelve' months were less than maxima that had been observed previously in the years 1964-1979 and the minimum daily discharges for the months April and May 1980 were smaller than had been recorded for those months in the preceding 16 years. The April 1980 minimum was 7350 cfs; the smallest daily mean observed in 1964-1979 was 7780 cfs in 1971. The May 1980 minimum daily discharge of 1360 cfs was less than the record low for that month of the previous 16 years, 1880

_cfs in 1977.

FIGURE 2.1 When river flow rates are less.then 10,000 cfs the Vernon Hydroelectric Station is operated as a peak load facility. Often at such times, only one hydroelectric unit is utilized during off-peak hours. Operation of this one unit meets a condition of the operating license issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on June 25, 1979 to the Vernon Hydroelectric Station.

This license requires the maintenance of a continuous minimum flow of 1,250 cfs in the river. The requirement that Vermont Yankee be responsible for providing a sustained minimum flow of 1,200 cfs when operating, set forth in the.Appendix B Tech Specs of its operating license, was deleted in February 1980.

Periods of minimum flow occurred in all months of 1980, even in April when 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> of minimum discharge occurred on April 22.

Minimum discharge occurred during more than 50% of the hours of the months February, June, July, August, and September.

On 108 days of the first six months of 1980, 124 periods of minimum flow occurred in a total of 1386 hours0.016 days <br />0.385 hours <br />0.00229 weeks <br />5.27373e-4 months <br />, 31.9% of the time.

3. RIVER TEMPERATURE Temperatures of Connecticut River water are measured continu-ously by two automatic water quality monitoring systems, installed in buildings on the Vermont shore of the river at Sample Station 7, upstream of Vermont Yankee, and at Station 3, downstream of the plant. The temperature data of 1980, reduced to hourly, daily, and monthly means, are shown in Tables 3.1, for Station No. 3, and 3.2, for Station No; 7, at the end of this section of the report.

These data are summarized graphically in Figures 3.1 and 3.2. The maxima and minima in those figures are hourly means.

Temperature data have been collected continuously since 1968 at Station 3 and since 1970 at Station 7. Figures 3.1 and 3.2 also show. in shaded areas, the maximum and minimum hourly mean temperature that has been observed for that month in any of the previous years of study. The shaded area is divided by a line that connects the points of mean monthly temperatures computed from the data of all previous years for that month.

Monthly mean temperatures observed at the downstream location, Station 3,.for the first nine months of .1980 were greater than the l9.68-1979*month~y.means. The February mean temperature, 37.1 0 F, was higher than the previous record February mean of 36.2 0 F, which occurred in 1977. The record March mean, 35.90 in 1977, was also exceeded by the 1980 mean of 37.1 0 F. The maximum hourly tempera-0 ture in February, .41.8 F, was greater than the previous maximum for that month, 41.5 0 F in 1977. All other monthly maximum temperatures and all monthly miminum-temperatures at Station 3 in 1980 were within extremes previously recorded.

Monthly mean temperatures in 1980 at the upstream location, Station 7, were higher than the means for the years 1970-1979 during five months - April, May, July, August, and September.

All Station 7 monthly means were within extremes of previous years except the December mean of 32.50F. The lowest previous December mean was 33.3 0F in 1972. The hourly maximum and minimum tempera-tures observed at Station 7 in 1980 were all within extremes recorded in earlier years.

In 1980, Vermont Yankee operated in the open cycle mode of condenser cooling in the periods January 1 through May 15 and December 28 through December 31. Such operation is permitted in the period October 15 through May 15 under thermal effluent limita-tions set forth in Vermont Yankee's NPDES permit and the revised Technical Specifications of its operating license. These criteria, which define the maximum allowable thermal impact on the Connecti-cut River, are as follow:

A. The temperature at Monitor 3 during open cycle operaton shall not exceed 65 0 F*;

B. The rate of change of temperature at Monitor 3 shall not exceed 50 F per hour; and C. The increase in temperature above ambient at Monitor 3:shall not exceed 13.46F.

The temperature records at Stations 7 and 3 show that these thermal limitations were not exceeded during open cycle operation in 1980. The maximum hourly average temperature observed at Monitor 3 was 57.0 0 F on May 6. The maximum rate of change of temperature at-Monitor 3, the difference between successive hourly average temperatures there, was. -2.9 F/hour, observed once in February and once in March. The greatest rate of temperature increase was +2.6 0 F/hour in January. Tabulations of the hourly rates of change in Monitor 3 temperatures during the months of open cycle operation are given in Table 3.3. These data are summarized, for the dates of open cycle operation, as a frequency distribution in Table 3.4. For the rate of temperature change data during open cycle operation in 1980, three measures of central tendency, the mode, median, and mean, were all O.0 0 F.

4. WATER QUALITY STUDIES Four water quality parameters, in addition to temperature, have been monitored continuously by Honeywell W-20 Water Quality Data Collection Systems since 1968 at Station 3, downstream of Vermont Yankeei and since 1970 at Station 7, upstream of the plant. Summaries of the dissolved oxygen and pH data collected in 1980 are shown in Table 4.1 for Station 3 and 4.2 for Station 7.

The dissolved oxygen data are reduced to daily means and daily maxima and minima with times of occurrence; the pH data are shown as. daily maxima and minima.

The amendment of Vermont Yankee's Appendix B Technical Specif-ications in February 1980 deleted the requirement that conductivity and turbidity be monitored continuously. To complete the record on these parameters, data collected in January and February 1980 are summarized in Table 4.3.

The tabulated dissolved oxygen and pH data of Tables 3.1 and 3.2 are presented graphically in Figures 4;l through 4.4. The shaded areas in those figures show the largest maximum and smallest minimum observed in that month in any one of the years of record prior to 1980. The shaded areas in the dissolved oxygen graphs are divided by lines connecting the mean DO observed for each month in all the previous years of observations.

The maximum hourly average DO observed at Station 7 in June, 9.9 mg/l, was equal to the maximum previously observed there in 1973. All other monthly DO maxima and minima at both stations in 1980 were-within the ranges previously observed for each month.

Monthly average DO concentrations in 1980 were also within extremes

-of the earlier years. Station 3 monthly means in January through March and October through December were higher than the means for those months computed from the data of all prior years of observa-tions. For Station 7, the January through March, June, November, and December 'means were greater than the means in those months for the years 1970-1979.

The pH maximum of 7.7 observed at Station 3 in January 1980.

exceeded the previous record there of 7.5 observed in 1975 and 1979. All other pH maxima and minima of 1980 were-within the pH extremes that have been previously observed.

Grab samples of water quality analysis were collected once each quarter in 1980 at the two monitor stations and from Vermont Yankee's cooling water discharge to the river on the three sample dates on which the plant was operating. These samples were analyzed for sixteen parameters by the procedures of'Stanard *ai Methods for the Xxamination of Water' and'Wa'stewater,. 14th edition (APHA *_E al. 1976),; The analytical results are shown in Table 4.4.

Concentrations observed in 1980 at both Station'3 and 7 for all parameters were well within extremes that had been observed in earlier study years.

On occasion Vermont Yankee adds the following chemicals to its cooling water discharge to the Connecticut River: sodium sulfate, as demineralizer regenerant; sodium hypochlorite, to control biological fouling of the condenser 'cooling system;.and sulfuric acid, for pH control. The amounts'.'of these chemicals-discharged to the river are relatively small and not likely to significantly alter the river's water quality. However, to provide a quantitative basis for assessing the impact of Vermont Yankee's operation on Connecticut'River water quality, data on the concentrations of sodium ion,.chloride ion, sulfate ion,.and alkalinity concentrations were subjected to statistical analysis.

The statistical methods used with 'these four parameters have been detailed in Reports WV and V of this series (Aquatec" 1975, 1976). Data 'collected forthese four-parameters at Stations 3'and

-7 before Vermont Yankee began operation and during the times of closed cycle operation through '1974 were combined and subjected to'

i linear regression analysis. These analyses, Using Station 7 con-centrations as the independent variable, resulted in the statistics summarized in Table 4.5.

Each figure also shows, -,agdashed lines, the.*95% confidence limits for Station 3 concentrations predicted by the regression equation from new observations at Station 7. These confidence limits were drawn from limits calculated for the minimum, mean, and maximum Station 7 concentrations used for each parameter in the regression analyses. The applicable range of Station 7 con-centrations'for each regression equation is indicated on the figure by the vertical dashed lines at the minimum and maximum value of Station 7 concentrations used to develop the equation.

On each of the figures, points for the data from samples collected in September, during closed cycle operation, and December, when Vermont Yankee was not operating, ard plotted as filled circles.

Points for the data of February and May, when Vermont Yankee was using open cycle cooling, are plotted as open circles. The plotted points for all four parameters are.well within the 95% confidence limits for Station 3 concentrations predicted by the regression equations.

5. PLANKTON STUDIES Plankton samples were collected once each month in 1980 at Station 3, downstream of Vermont Yankee and at Station 7, upstream of the plant (Figure 5.1). All samples were collected via the water quality pumping systems at those locations except the Sep-tember and December samples at Station 3. On the sample collec-tion dates in those months the water quality monitor pumps were inoperative, so the samples were collected by bucket from the Vermont shore of the river. Subsurface samples from the river at Vermont Yankee's condenser cooling water intakestructure were collected also on the thirteen dates in 1980 on which entrainment studies were conducted.

Samples were collected with a No. 20 mesh Wisconsin plankton net and preserved in 5%,formalin. Subsequently an aliquot of the sample was examined in. a Sedgewick-Rafter counting cell. Plankton were identified to the lowest feasible taxonomic level and were counted as their normally occurring unit, i.e., phytoplankters as cells, colonies, or filaments and zooplankters as individuals or colonies. The results of these analyses are presented below.

5.1 Phytoplankton Studies A summary of the counting results of the analysis of the 1980 phytoplankton samples is given in Table 5.1. This table shows for each sample the dominant species observed, when one taxon was found in greater numbers than any other one, the concentration in units per liter of that dominant organism, and the total count in units per liter of all algae in the sample.

The concentrations of phytoplankters found in the 1980 monitor samples are also shown graphically in Figures 5.2 and 5.3. To permit ready comparison of the 1980 monitor sample data with that

of earlier years, Figures 5.2 and 5.3 also carry plots of the monthly mean phytoplankton counts observed in the years 1970-1974, excluding data collected in 1974 during Vermont Yankee's open cycle testing. Variability of algal concentrations about these means is indicated on the graphs by points which are two standard deviations greater than each monthly mean.

Algal concentrations in all the Station 3 and 7 samples except those of January were less than the mean concentrations observed in the years 1970-1974. The January counts at both locations were just two algal units per liter above the 1970-1974 means. Phyto-plankton counts observed in all the late summer and early fall samples were small relative to mean concentr~tion', observed for the corresponding months in 1970;-1974.

In earlier reports of this series (Aquatec 1975k 1976), a statistical analysis of the phytoplankton data collected prior to Vermont Yankee's operation and during closed cycle operation at the two monitor stations was presented. This analysis developed linear regression equations which predicted Monitor 3 counts from three ranges of observed Monitor 7 counts. All Monitor 7*counts observed in 1980, except the 793 found in July, lie within the low range, 0-772 units per liter, for which the regression equation has an intercept of 29.3, a regression coefficient of 0.802, and a standard error of estimate of 193. A comparison of the phyto-plankton counts observed at Monitor 3 in 1980 with counts predicted by this regression equation from counts observed at Monitor 7 is shown in Table 5.2.

The data of Table 5.2 are shown graphically in Figure 5.4,

• in which the regression equation is plotted as a solid line and the 95% confidence limits for Monitor 3 counts predicted by this equation are shown as dashed lines. These-confidence limits were calculated for minimum, mean, and maximum Monitor 7 counts used in the regression analysis. Vermont Yankee-was utilizing closed cycle cooling at the time of collection of the May through September samples and was not operating when the October and November samples

The September sample at Station 3 was collected by bucket from the river's surface, because the monitor pump was inoperative on the sample date. 'Data reported in earlier volumes'-of this series have shown that algal concentrations hear the surface at Station 3 are usually greater than in samples collected via the monitor pump from near the river bottom.

The phytoplankton concentration observed, at Monitor 7 in July fell within the middle range of counts used in the statistical analysis of preoperational and closed cycle data. The linear regression 'equation developed for this middle range, Monitor 7.

The difference :etween the predicted and observed concentrations is much less than the standard error of estimate (2443) for the regression equation.-

Thirty-four species of phytoplankton were identified in the samples collected at Stations 3 and 7.in 1980. Seventeen additional taxa were found in small numbers in the samples of river water collected at Vermont Yankee's intake structure during entrainment studies. A checklist of the phytoplankton identified in these samples is shown in Table 5.3. Following the name of each taxon in the list are three numbers in parenthesis. The first is the number of Station 3 samples in which the alga was observed;. the second is the number of Station 7 samples in which it was found; the third is the number of entrainment sample dates on'which the taxon was found in a river intake sample.

The average.numiber of identified species found in the twelve downstream Station 3 samples of 1980 was 7.7; in the upstream Station 7 samples .it was 7.3. Thjnumber per sample at Station 3 ranged from a minimum of two identified species, in February and December, to a maximum of 17 in the September sample. At Station 7, a minimum of three was observed in February and a maximum of 12 *in July.

In 1980, as in all prior-years of Vermont Yankee phytoplankton studies, species of diatoms again predominated in most samples.

Diatoms constituted less than half the algae observed in only one Monitor 7 sample and in three of the Station .3 samples. More than fifty percent..of the phytoplankters observed in all the entrainment intake samples were diatoms. A summary of the percentages of diatoms, flagellates, green, and blue-green algae found in the 1980

.phytoplankton samples is given in Table 5A4.

5.2 Zooplankton Studies The results of the analysis of zooplankton samples in 1980 are summarized in Table 5.5 and in Figures 5.5..and 5.6. Table 5.5 shows the concentration, in units per literi of zooplankters observed in each sample and the name and concentration of the predominant taxon in the sample, when one taxon was observed in' 7 greater concentration than any other.- In the figures, total zoo-plankton counts observed in 1980 at the two monitor stations are plotted,.along with monthly mean counts observed at these stations in the years 1970-1974, excluding times of open cycle testing. To show variability about the means, the figures also carry plots of the means plus two 'standard deviations.

ZOoplankton concentrations observed in the latter half of

• 1980 were. generally small relative to counts in those months in.

the years 1970-1974. But in February and April at Station 7 and in March at Station 3, zooplankton counts more than two standard deviations greater than the 1970-197.4 means were observed. The concentration observed in June at Station 7 was also greater than the 1970-1974 mean, but was within two standard deviations of that mean.

Statistical analysis of zooplankton data collected at the two monitor stations in the years 1970-1974, prior to Vermont Yankee's operation and during closed cycle operation, has provided a basis for comparison of zooplankton counts observed at Monitor 3, down-stream of Vermont Yankee, with counts predicted from the zooplankton concentrations observed at Monitor 7 upstream. This analysis, analogous to that used for phytoplankton, resulted in a linear regression equation relating Monitor 3 count, as dependent variable, to:the observed Monitor 7 count. For Monitor 7 counts ranging from 0.5 to 418.5, the equation has a regression coefficient of 0.918, an intercept of 15.7, and a standard error of estimate of 83.8. A comparison of the Zooplankton concentrations observed in 1980 at Monitor 3 with those predicted by this equation is given in Table

The average number of taxa observed in the twelve Station 7 samples was 7.2, in the Station 3 samples the mean was 6.7. The smallest number of taxa per Station 7 sample was 4 in January and November; the lakrgep.t number there was 16 taxa-in the June sample.

At Station .3, only one organism, Keratella cochlear is was found in the December sample; a maximum of 14 taxa was observed in the September sample.

Relatively large percentages of the organisms present in the samples of late fall and winter were protozoans, particularly Campanella sp. and Vorticella sp. More than half the organisms.

observed in the January through March and the Norember samples at Stations 3 and 7 were protozoa. They predominated also in the Station 7 samples of April and May.

Adult copepods were found in all seasons of the year. Nauplii were present in 81% of the samples collected in 1980 and were found in some samples all twelve months of the year.

Rotifers were the dominant organisms in the warmer months of.

the year. They constituted at least 50% of the zooplankters found in 6 of the 13 entrainment samples, in 6 of the 12 Station 7 samples, and in '5 of. the 12 Station 3 aamples, The more commonly observed rotifers were ratllacoc:hlearis and Philodina sp.,

which were found in at least half the samples collected at each location, Polyarthrasp., and Synchaeta .sp. These four organisms were also the most prevalent rotifers in the zooplankton samples of the previous two years.

6. ENTRAINMENT STUDIES 6.1 Phytoplankton and Zooplankton Entrainment Amendment No. 56 to Vermont Yankee's operating license, dated February 22, 1980, deleted its Appendix B Technical Specifications.,

which required Vermont Yankee to conduct entrainment studies twice a month while the plant was operating, in either open or closed cycle cooling modes. Vermont Yankee's commitment to entrainment studies was thus reduced to the once monthly requirement during open cycle operation specified in its NPDES discharge permit.

However, Aquatec was not notified of this change until July 1980, so entrainment studies were conducted under the old schedule until July 8, 1980.

On 13 dates in 1980, samples of Connecticut River water at Vermont Yankee's cooling water intake structure and of the plant's cooling water discharge to the river were taken to assess the impact on phytoplankton and zooplankton due to entrainment. Dupli-cate samples were collected at approximately two week intervals.

Entrainment studies were not conducted during closed cycle opera-tion after July 8, 1980. The plant resumed open cycle operation at low power levels the last four days of December.' Entrainment samples were not collected in that period.

For each sample, 40 liters of water, collected by bucket, were poured through a No. 20 mesh plankton net. A portion of the fresh sample concentrate was examined within the hour to determine the identity and relative numbers of living and dead organisms. Zoo-plankters were tabulated as living if they were observed to move or showed internal movement within one minute. Phytoplankters were listed as living if they had normal pigmentation and no signs of plasmolysis. The remaining portion of each sample was preserved with formalin for subsequent identification and enumeration of the organisms present.

-125-

The taxa of phytoplankton and Zooplankton found in the entrain-ment intake samples are indicated in the two'checklists, Tables 5.3 and 5.7, of the previous section of this report. In those lists, the third number in parenthesis after each taxon is the number of' sample staes, of a total of 13, on'which the taxon was observed in an intake sample. in general, the same taxa were observed in dis-charge samples as were found in river intake samples. However, eight algal species were found in small numbers in 1980 discharge samples that were not observed in intake entrainment samples.

These were Diatoma sp.,, Tabellaria .flocculosa, Closterium acutum, Oedogonium sp., Scerfedesmus dimorphus, Staurastrum sp., Treubaria sp., and Lyngbya sp. Four zooplankton species - Tchlalis alata,

.Mon'ostyla sp., Chydorus bicornutus, and Daphnia pulex - were observed in discharge samples, but not in the intake samples.

The counting results of the analysis of the fresh and the preserved entrainment samples were summarized in Table 6.1.. The -

data of Table 6.1 have been-used to calculate the percent changes in live plankton concentrations between intake and discharge samples shown in Table 6.2.

In all previous years. of Vermont Yankee entrainment studies, greater .'plankton concentrations have been observed in some dis-charge samples than were present in the river samples collected at the intake structure. This is attributable to the sloughing off into the circulating cooling water of aufwuchs, algal growth attached to the walls of the cooling water system that supports a .community of microinvertebrates. Greater concentrations of live organisms in discharge samples than in intake samples were observed for phy-toplankton on 6 and for zooplankton on 3 of the 13 sample dAtes.

The impact of Vermont Yankee's entrainment of plankton on the river's concentration of live plankton is dependent upon the pro-portion of river flow, QR,* which is utilized as condenser cooling water.. Calculations.of the percent changes in river plankton con-centrations due to entrainment on the 13 study dates of 1980 are

-126-

shown in Table 6.3. These calculations assume uniform distribu-tion of river plankton at the intake structure and complete mixing of plant discharge into the river.

During open cycle operation, plant discharge flow rate, QD' equals the rate of intake from the river, thus percent change of plankton concentration in the mixed river is the percent change through the plant, Table 6.2, multiplied by the ratio of QD to QR" During closed cycle operation, some water withdrawn from the river is lost by evaporation in the cooling towers. The closed cycle calculations in Table 6.3 have assumed a concentration factor of 2 due to evaporation, which would reduce river flow by an amount equal to plant blowdown discharge, estimated conservatively at 15 cfs. Percent change in river plankton concentration is calculated, then, by multiplying percent change through the plant by the ratio of 15 cfs to (QR- 1 5 cfs).

The largest calculated decrease in live phytoplahkton concen-tration in the river was -8.8% in the samples of 6 May; that for live zooplankton concentration was -15% in the samples of 6 March.

Percentage decreases in live plankton concentration on Other open cycle dates were much smaller and, as noted above, calculated increases occurred on 6 dates for phytoplankton and 3 for zooplank-ton.

Calculated changes during closed cycle operation are very low because such a small portion of total river flow is used then as condenser cooling water. It is because the entrainment impact of Vermont Yankee's closed cycle operation is so minimal that the requirement to conduct entrainment studies at such times has been deleted from their environmental monitoring requirements.

6.2 Ichthyoplankton Entrainment Previous studies, in the years 1977-1979, of the entrainment of larval fishes.in Vermont Yankee's cooling water have been con-ducted in the months March, April, and May.. No ichthyoplankters were collected in those three years during March or April, so the 1980 study was limited to the 15 days of open cycle operation in May.

Once each day a sample was collected with a 0.5 meter diameter plankton net with a T.S.K. flowmeter positioned in the net's mouth.

The net was mounted in an aluminum frame and lowered by ropes to collect intake bay samples.

The results of the 1980 studies are summarized in Table 6.4, in which the data have been reduced to the number of larvae entrained per hour. The table also shows, as a measure of the impact on river larval populations, the percentage of river flow being utilized as cooling water at the time of sampling.

Ichthyoplankters were first observed in the sample of 5 May, when a single larva was collected, and river temperature was 51.8*F.

In all four years of study the first collection of ichthyoplankton has been observed at river temperatures of about 51 0 F. First observation in 1977 was on 2'May at a .tmperature of 51..20 F; in.1978 on 15 May at 50:.80F; and in 197.9 on 5 May at a temperature 6f 51.20F.

Rates of entrainment of ichthyoplankton observed in 1980 were comparable to those found in the previous thriee years. Few larvae were collected and relatively small proportions of river flow were being used for cooling water.

In late May, ri-ver flows usually decrease and river concentra-tions of. larval fish increase, But Vermont Yankee's reversion to closed cycle cooling mode on May 15 serves to minimize the plant's impact on ichthyoplinkton.

7. BENTHIC FAUNA STUDIES Samples of Connecticut River benthic fauna were collected in 1980 at the four Vermont Yankee sample station locations shown in Figure 7.1 Samples were collected monthly, from May through November, with a 9" Ekman dredge from each of the four stations.

Each sample consisted of organisms collected in 30 dredge hauls, 10 from each river quarter point. Henson traps, wire cages filled with 2 to 3 inch diameter rocks, were set at each location in May, July, and September and left in place for 8 to 10 weeks before retrieval. The traps set at Station 2 in May and June were lost or vandalized before the retrieval date.

The material collected by either sample method was washed through a set of standard sieves and organisms retained by a No.

25 mesh sieve were preserved in 70% alcohol for subsequent analy-sis. Identification was made to the lowest practicable taxonomic level, usually to genus.

Ninety-six taxa of bottom fauna were identified in the 1980 samples. A checklist of these macroinvertebrates, Table 7.1, appears at the end of this section of the report.. The number of samples in which a listed taxon was found is shown in the table for each sampling technique at each sample station.

Of the total of 86 genera observed in the 1980 samples, 72 genera were found in the 28 Ekman dredge samples and 40 were found in the .10 samples collected by Henson trap. Twenty-six genera were found in samples collected by both methods, 14 were found only in Henson trap samples, and 46 were observed only in Ekman dredge collections.

The number of samples collected by Ekman aredge in 1980 was comparable to the numbers collected at Stations 2 through 5-in the years 1969 and 1977-1979. A comparison of the number of genera collected by Ekman dredge in these years with the results of the 1980 collections is shown in Table 7.2.

TABLE 7.2 COMPARISON OF NUMBER OF SAMPLES AND NUMBER OF GENERA OF BENTHOS COLLECTED BY EKMAN DREDGE Station Number of Samples/Number of .Genera Number 1969 T977 . .1978 1979. 1980 2 6/33 8/20 8/22 7/27 7/36 3 6/24 8/25 8/13 7/26 7/39 4 7/16 8/19 8/17 7/26 7/30 5 8/18 8/20 6/14 7/28 7/25 The numbers of genera found in samples from Stations 2, .3, and 4 were greater than in earlier years; the number at Station 5 was greater than in 'all prior years except 1979. More dredge hauls were used in the collection of the 1979 and 1980 samples (30.hauls/

sample for all collections except May 1979) than in the previous years. That this increased effort disclosed greater numbers of genera indicates that Vermont Yankee's operation has not adversely affected the river's benthos diversity.

Another measure of diversity is shown in Table 7.3, a summary of the results of the analysis of the 1980 benthic fauna samples.

The summary shows for each sample the number of organisms and taxa observed and lists the predominant type of benthos in the sample and the percentage of that form in the sample. A diversity index is also tabulated for each sample. The index was calculated with the following equation:

C.

(Nlog 1 N.- Z ni log 1 0 ni)

-135-

where C is a constant which converts logarithms from base 10 to

'base 2; N is the number of organisms; and ni is the number of organisms in the i' taxon.

In general, diversity indices are larger for samples collected by.Ekman dredge than for the-Henson trap samples. In all the Ekman dredge sample sets, except that collected in October, the diversity index at one or more of the sample stations (2, 3, or 4) which might have been affected by Vermont Yankee's discharge was greater than at Station 5, upstream of Vermont Yankee. This was the case also for the July and September Henson trap collections. The number of taxa and the number of organisms per sample were also usually greater at one of the downstream locations than at upstream Station 5.

As has been found in earlier years, caddis fly and chironomid larvae were the predominant organisms in most of the spring and summer .samples. Fall samples showed a greater variety of dominant forms - fingernail clams, planarians, oligqchaetes. Chironomids and caddis flies were again dominant in the November Henson trap samples. The very low Station 2 and 3 diversity indices in that sample set were attributable to large percentages of a single chironomid species, Tanytarzsus sp., which accounted for 90% of the Station 2 sample and 94% of the Station 3 sample. Large percentages of the chironomid, Gl~yptcteindipes sp,,:,in-.all three Henson trap samples of July and the Station 5 sample of September are evidenced in the relatively low diversity indices of those samples.

8. FISH STUDIES 8.1 Fish Impingement Studies During all five phases of the special open cycle testing conducted in the years 1974-1978, fish impinged on Vermont Yankee's traveling screens at the intake structure were collected each day and identified, counted, weighed, and measured. The results of these :studies, summarized in the Phase V report (Aquatec 1979b),

provided the basis for the schedule of impingement studies, set forth in Vermont Yankee's current NPDES permiti to be conducted during open cycle operation. However, the Appendix B Technical Specifications to Vermont Yankee's operating license, which required that all impinged fish be collected, was not amended until February 1980. This amendment (No. 56) deleted the require-ment that impingement studies, other than by the NPDES schedule, be done. However, Aquatec was not aware of this change until mid-summer, so all fish impinged during open cycle operation through May 1980 were collected.

• A summary of the weight extremes and the extremes in total length of the fish species impinged during open cycle Operation in January-May 1980 is given in Table 8.1. In Table 8.2, the numbers and total weight in grams of each impinged species are shown for each of these months. The fish-species are listed in order of the decreasing number of the species collected.

The table also shows, for each month and for the period January-May, the mean number and mean weight of fish impinged per day of open cycle operation in 1980. At the bottom of the table are listed the daily means and standard deviations, for both

.. number and weight of fish impinged, that-were observed for those months in the five phase open cycle test program.

All.daily.means, both number and weight, observed in each open cycle month of 1980 were within the two standard deviations of the Phases I-V daily means for the corresponding months. In fact, only

.the mean number'of fish impinged in May, 23.1 per day, exceeded the corresponding Phases T-V mean plus one standard deviation, 19.0 per day. Both the'dailymean number and weight of fish impinged during 133 days of open cycle operation were less than the daily means plus one standard deViation for corresponding months during the Phases I-V studies, 8.2 Resident Finfish Studies In 1980, 1602 fish were collected at Vermont Yankee Sample Stations 3, .4, 5, and 8. The locations of the sample stations are shown in Figure 8.1. The fish were taken in 96 collections by three capture methods - trap net, gill neto and seine haul. A summary by sample station and capture method of the fishing effort made and the'numbers and weight of.fish collected 'is shown in Table 8.3.

All fish collected were identified and their weight and total length were measured and recorded. Of the nineteen species observed in 1980 collections, eleven were captured both upstream and down-stream of Vernon Dam. Three species -- spottail shiner, silvery minnow, and American eel -- were observed only in collections north of the dam; five species - fallfish, brown bullhead, yellow bull-head, northern pike, and chain pickerel -- were found only in the collections south of Vernon Dam. Northern pike is a species that has not been collected previously in-Vermont Yankee fish studies, which were begun in 1968. A single specimen, weighing 400 grams with a total length of 400 mm, was taken on 16 September 1980 in an experimenta .gill net set near Stebbjn Island., .about 1,25 miles downstream from Vernon Dam.

The data of the 1980 fish collections are summarized by species in Tablesl 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6. Table 8.4 shows for all collections the number, the total weight, and the extremes in weight and total length observed for each species. Tables 8.5

and 8.6 summarize - by sample station, capture method, and number of collections in which the species was taken - the numbers and total weights of the species captured north and south of Vernon Dam. Frequency distributions by total length for nine species are shown in Table 8.7.

The. species compositions, by weight and by number, of the 1980 collections are graphed in Figures 8.2 and 8.3. These compositions are reduced to a percentage basis and shown in Figures 8.4 and 8.5, along with percentage compositions of earlier surveys to permit comparison with previous studies.

The percentage by number of white perch in the 1980 collec-tions (30.8%) was greater than the previous maximum for this species (29.0%) in 1974. This increase is attributable chiefly to the relatively low numbers of pumpkinseed and bluegill captured in 1980. The percentage by.weight of Le'ionais *spp. in the 1980 survey (4.0%) was smaller than for any prior survey except that-of 1976 when these species constituted 3.4% of the weight of all fish taken.

The percentages by weight that are shown in Figure 8.4 for 1980 are all within ranges that had been observed in earlier surveys except the percentage by weight for "all other species."

The 12.2% by weight for "All other species" results from relatively greater weights of brown bullhead, chain pickerel, and walleye captured in 1980. in particular, the biomass of .walleye in the 1980 survey was significantly greater than in earlier years. The 48 walleye collected in 1980 weighed 30,.522 grams, 7.7% of the weight of all fish taken. The previous maximum percentage by weight of !'all other species" was 9.4% in 1978. This was due also to walleye, which constituted 6.7% of the weight of all fish in that year'ls survey.

Scale samples for age determination were taken from all white perch, yellow perch, walleye, and smallmouth bass collected in

-1980 that had a total length of:more than 50 mm. The results of the reading of these scales, along with the age-growth data

-151-

collected in years prior to Vermont Yankee's operation with open cycle cooling, are shown in Tables 8.8 through 8.1i. The data on number of annuli and mean total length from these tables are shown graphically in Figures 8.6 through 8.9.

The age-growth. data for white perch, yellow perch,.and small-mouth bass in 1980 are not significantly different from the data.

of the years 1969-1973. Small differences are found when few specimens in an annulus group were captured.

The.age-growth curves for walleye in each of the years 1977 through 1979 had indicated an increased growth rate relative to the 1969-1973 curve.. To confirm this, the scale samples from walleye collected in 1969-1973 were reread. Based on this re-examination, revised age-growth data for the years 1969-1973 are shown in Table 8.10. The plots of these revised 1969-1973 data and that of 1980 (Figure 8.8) also indicate-an enhanced walleye growth rate in 1980 relative to the years 1969-1973.
