Section 1.0 - Introduction .

Section 2.0 - Environmental Monitoring Section 3.0 - Special Monitoring and Study Activities Section 4.0 - Additional Information 2.0 Environmental Monitorina This section is intended' to address the results of environmental l monitoring required to be implemented by Section 1.1 of the OCETS during .

the report period.- The Fish Kill Monitoring Program is the only environmental monitoring required by Section 1.1 There were no fish kills during the reporting period and therefore this monitoring program was not implemented.

3.0 Special Monitorina and Study Activities l

Incident reports concerning the capture of four endangered sea turtles were submitted to the NRC on June 21, 1994 and July 26, 1994.

Consistent with Section 7 of the Endangered Species 'Act, GPUN provided the NRC and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)'with an " Assessment of the Impacts of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station on Kemp's Ridley and Loggerhead Sea Turtles" dated December 1994. The purpose of the assessment was to examine the potential impacts associated with the continued operation of the plant. By letter dated January 19, 1995 the NRC agreed with GPUN's conclusion that the continued operation of the plant will not jeopardize the continued existence of. endangered or threatened sea turtles. The assessment is currently being reviewed by NMFS.
