*....... I l INTRODUCTION This 2015, Environmental Operating Report for the North Anna Power Station is submitted by Virginia Electric and Power Company, as required under Section 5.4.1 of Appendix B, Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) . The objective of the EPP is to verify that the North Anna Power Station is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, consistent with NRC and other federal, state and local requirements as well as to keep the NRC informed of any environmental effects of facility construction or operation. During 2015, no significant adverse environmental impacts occurred as a result of the operation of North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2. Aquatic issues are addressed in the licensee's VPDES permit (number VA 0052451) issued by the Virginia State Water Control Board. The VPDES permitting program is administered by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the NRC relies on this agency for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.

The objective of the EPP is to verify that the North Anna Power Station is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, consistent with NRC and other federal, state and local requirements as well as to keep the NRC informed of any environmental effects of facility construction or operation.
During 2015, no significant adverse environmental impacts occurred as a result of the operation of North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2. Aquatic issues are addressed in the licensee's VPDES permit (number VA 0052451) issued by the Virginia State Water Control Board. The VPDES permitting program is administered by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the NRC relies on this agency for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.
Listed below are the summaries and analyses required by Subsection 4.2 of the EPP.
PLANT DESIGN AND OPERATION (SECTION 3.1)
A review of all changes in station design or operation, tests and experiments failed to reveal any potentially, significant, unreviewed, environmental issues.
EROSION CONTROL INSPECTION - SITE (SECTION 4.2.2.1)
Performance of Periodic Test Procedure, l-PT-9.3: Erosion Control Inspection-Station Site, and 0-PT-75.12: Visual Inspection of the Service Water Reservoir Dike Crest and Toe, were completed by the Civil/Design Engineering Department. Seven (7) areas of concern were identified during the performance of 1-PT-9. 3. One (1) area of concern was identified during the performance of 0-PT-75.i2.
The areas identified in 1-PT-9. 3 were minor erosion issues. Two (2) of the areas identified were due to minor erosion concerns near the Fabrication Shop and Warehouse 5, where grading or additional gravel was needed due to rutting observed in gravel areas. Two (2) of the areas identified were due to excess gravel Page 2 of 4

build-up in concrete drainage ditches adjacent to the warehouse road and main access road, that needed to be cleaned out. There were two (2) issues of animal burrows near Warehouse 5 and the I SF SI area, which needed to be f i 11 ed. There was one ( 1 ) area identified where gravel and sediment had clogged a culvert pipe near Warehouse 6, which needed to be cleaned out. The one (1) area identified during the performance of 0-PT-75.12 was animal burrows observed near the Service Water Reservoir's horizontal drain gallery, which needed to be filled. All of the issues identified were entered into the station's corrective action system and work orders were assigned. All of the work that was assigned to correct the identified issues was completed by April :1,3th, 2016. All of the issues identified were minor erosion issues that did not adversely impact site erosion control measures, or station operation.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PROGRAM CORRIDOR RIGHTS-OF-WAY SECTION 4.2.2.2)
