The sampling regime was based on the ecological information available at the time.Sample locations were selected in relation to the predicted plume direction and extent (Ref.4), and the major macrohabitats known to exist.off Hutchinson Island.Stations 1, 2 and 3 were located in'the projected thermal plume area while 4 and 5 were established as, n orth and south controls located in the same macrohabitats as Station 2 (Ref.5).Since 1972, extensive data on the biological communities near the St.Lucie Plant have been obtained (Ref.1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16).Additional physical data has been gathered on winds (Ref.13), currents (Ref.14)and the thermal plume (Ref.15).These biological and physical studies indicate that effects of the St.Lucie discharge may be limited to surface areas near the point of discharge.

Statistical comparison of phytoplankton density at the offshore stations has generally shown significantly higher surface and bottom phytoplankton densities at Station 1.Chlorophyll"a."-concentration has also been generally elevated at Station 1 (Ref.3, page D-22).The increases may have resulted from phytoplankton from the discharge canal and/or enhanced phytoplankton growth due to increased water temperature.

Surfa'ce zooplankton densities at Station 1 have been significantly greater than those at Stations 0, 2, 3, and 4 (Ref.3, page E-15).Xt is likely that herbivorous zooplankters became concentrated through emigration into the area of Station-1 in response to in-creased phytoplankton abundance.
Xndeed,theETSthemselves containaprovis'on.for modification oftheprogrambaseduponthedataaccumulated aftertwoyearsofoperation.
The proposed sampling stations in the discharge plume will facilitate assessment of possible thermal effects on the zooplankton community.
Thesechangesandtheir.basesaredescribed below.A.Plankton-Stationlocations andanalytical techniques havebeenrevised.13 Justification Except,forStation1intheimmediate discharge area,nomajor~~differences intheplanktoncommunities havebeennoted(Ref.3,pageD-17).Stationsshouldberelocated toassess-the degreeofinfluence intheplumearea.Stationlocations orientedinrelationtotheplumewillprovidedatatomakethisassessment.
Zooplankton mortality has been estimated based on major.physical damage to the organisms.
Statistical comparison ofphytoplankton densityattheoffshorestationshasgenerally shownsignificantly highersurfaceandbottomphytoplankton densities atStation1.Chlorophyll "a."-concentration hasalsobeengenerally elevatedatStation1(Ref.3,pageD-22).Theincreases mayhaveresultedfromphytoplankton fromthedischarge canaland/orenhancedphytoplankton growthduetoincreased watertemperature.
A more sensitive method is to use vital dyes.Vital dye tests should be made on zooplankters collected from selected stations during alternate collection periods.The proposed station locations and analytical techniques would.provide a more accurate determination of plant impact.B.Nektonic Or anisms-Collecting of samples by trawling and seining has been deleted and station locations have been revi.ed.Justification The ETS allows collection of samples by"trawling, seining, or other suitable method." Trawling and beach seining are sampling techniques that are highly selective for bottom dwelling and surf zone dwelling forms.During over three years of study, neither of these communities appears to be influenced by the thermal discharge (Ref.3, page B-40 and B-43)., Offshore gill netting obtains samples in the water column and is an effective methodology for collecting sport and commercial fish species.The proposed'schedule emphasize's collections during the period of the year when migratory species such as-bluefish, Spanish mackerel and king mackerel are in the vicinity of the St.Lucie Plant.Station locations re-located to the immediate plume area will better assess the influence of the plume on the movements of fishes in the area.vegetation has been deleted.Justification The highest diversity of algae, 88 species, was collected"-during the third year of the study.The.number of species collected was lowest, in early spring and highest in summer and early fall.
Surfa'cezooplankton densities atStation1havebeensignificantly greaterthanthoseatStations0,2,3,and4(Ref.3,pageE-15).Xtislikelythatherbivorous zooplankters becameconcentrated throughemigration intotheareaofStation-1inresponsetoin-creasedphytoplankton abundance.
This seasonal pattern was typical for subtropical marine vegetation.
Theproposedsamplingstationsinthedischarge plumewillfacilitate assessment ofpossiblethermaleffectsonthezooplankton community.
Diversity was higher near shore because drift (unattached) algae were the predominate forms and these were ca ried inshore by the prevailing winds'and currents (Ref.3, page F-4).~Vegetation distribution and growth at all offshore stations'urveyed seems to be limited by a lack of appropriate substrate for vegetation attachment.
Zooplankton mortality hasbeenestimated basedonmajor.physicaldamagetotheorganisms.
Well developed macrophyte communities may occur on isolated offshore rock outcroping but the chances of the collecting dredge encountering these outcropings is remote.Because the offshore macrophyte community seems to be limited, it is probably not important as a food source or habitat for organisms living in the St.Lucie area.Since, based on the above, the sampling provides little useful data, there is no need for further~~monitoring of macrophytes.

Where appropriate, engineering type activation analyses may be applied.Since each of the above methodologies involves to some extent qualitative parameters, the total curie quantity is considered to be an estimate.The composition of radionuclides in the waste is determined by both on-site analyses for principal gamma emitters and periodic of f-site analyses for other radionuclides.

Dear fair.Eisenhut:

Re: St.Lucie Unit No.1 Docket Ho.50-335 Proposed Am ndment to Facility Operating License DPR-67 i~1y letter to you dated April 12, 1979 (L-79-88), requested the deletion of cer-tain Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS)for St.Lucie Unit ho.1 on'he basis of the ruling given in Yellow Creek (ALAB-515).

These ETS included limitations and monitoring requirements for non-radiological efflu nis which fell under the jurisdict'.on of the U.S.Environmental Protectioni Agency (EPA)under the Federal'I!ater Pollution Control Act (FlJPCA).A subsequen't;'review of'he St.Lucie 1 ETS has uncovered another specification which was inadvertently omitted from the April 12 submittal.

le request that this proposal be modified to include Specification 4.2,"Ninimu."

Effective Chlorine Usage." The existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)permit for St.Lucie 1, issued by EPA on Jure 14, 1978, (NPDES No.FL0002208) contains provisions dealing with this subject on page 2 of Part I.The aim of'his request, as with the earlier one, is to eliminate overlapping and duplicative regulatory requirements.

In accordance with"lJPCA, regula-tion of these matters falls to EPA.'He believe that the continuation of those ETS requirements for which we have requ sted deletion is not consistent with the guidance provided to the Commission in ALAB-515.1Je the.efore reiterate our earlier request for expedited consid ration.This proposed amendment has been reviewed by both the Company Environmental Re-view Group and the Company Nuclear Review Board of FPL, and hey have determined that the proposed amendmient is administrative in nature and will result in no adverse effects to the environment.

This request is.to be incorporated into our earlier request.The license amendment fee for that request has already been submitted.

Five offshore sampling stations were established (Figure 1), and sampling was conducted from July 19/1 to August 1974.The last portions of the data analyses and report preparation for this baseline study are being completed.

Following the sampling for baseline study, the Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS)for the operational monitoring program, contained.

in the operating license for St.Lucie Unit.No.1 issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), were written.These specifications

~~~~delineated the biotic communities to be studied and stated that sampling was to be conducted at the same five stations established for the baseline study.The objective of the operational monitoring study has been to gather data for comparison with data obtained during the baseline study.Xn March 1976, sampling for the operational monitoring program was begun by Applied Biology, Inc.(ABI).In addition to the five stations established for the baseline study, a nearshore sate south of the plant was selected as a control station.This control station was located distant from the plant and therefore away from possible~~~influence from warm water discharges.

Xn accordance with the ETS, collections were made to assess benthic organisms, plankton, nekton,

macrophytes, water quality and migratory sea turtles.The results and analyses of these collections have been reported annually (Re'f.1, 2, 3, 16).~~The five offshore stations were established by the Florida Department of Natural Pesources (FDNR)before a comprehensive evaluation of the offshore currents was available.

More recently, water current.data (Ref.14)has been obtained which indicates that if the stations were relocated they could better represent the biological conditions in areas of potential plume impact,.As shown in Figure 2, the predominant surface currents, and sub-sequent plume orientation from the point of discharge (Station 1), are to the north.Based on water current evaluation and the results of the biological monitoring program to date, FPL believes that, 1 certain revisions to the program prescribed in the ETS are appropriate.

The program described herein reflects these revisions and would be used by both St.Lucie Unit No.1 (operational monitoring) and St.Lucie Unit No.2 (preoperational and operational monitoring).

Xn the regulatory scheme established by the Federal Nater Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA), 33 USCA 55 1251 et sece, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)was given jurisdiction over all water quality matters relating to non-radiological liquid effluents.

EPA..On the basis of ALAB-515, and the water quality effluent limitations and monitoring requirements contained in the National t t Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)permit issued by EPA pursuant to PWPCA for St.Lucie Unit No.1, FPL has petitioned the NRC for the deletion of similar conditions contained in the ETS for St.Lucie Unit l.However, this request, to the NRC did not address the aquatic biological monitoring requirements also contained in the St.Lucie Unit No.1 ETS.In order to remove this state of implicit dual regulation, FPL proposes to incorporate appropriate aquatic biological monitoring requirements into the NPDES permit for St.Lucie Units 1 and 2 and to request their deletion from the Unit.1 ETS.(The NRC operating license and accompanying ETS for St.Lucie Unit.No.2 have not yet been issued).The program described below is herewith submitted to~,~4 EPA for that purpose.I II.PROPOSED BIOLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAM populations of the Atlantic Ocean near the plant discharge to determine the extent that.plant operations may be influencing the offshore ecosystem.

XIX.XMPLEMENTATXON OP PROPOSED BIOLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAM A.INTRODUCTION The monitoring program study design originated and was implemented in 1971 by the Florida Department.

of Natural Resources Marine Research Laboratory.

The sampling regime was based on the ecological information available at the time.Sample locations were selected in relation to the predicted plume direction and extent (Ref.4), and the major macrohabitats known to exist.off Hutchinson Island.Stations 1, 2 and 3 were located in'the projected thermal plume area while 4 and 5 were established as, n orth and south controls located in the same macrohabitats as Station 2 (Ref.5).Since 1972, extensive data on the biological communities near the St.Lucie Plant have been obtained (Ref.1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16).Additional physical data has been gathered on winds (Ref.13), currents (Ref.14)and the thermal plume (Ref.15).These biological and physical studies indicate that effects of the St.Lucie discharge may be limited to surface areas near the point of discharge.

The study design should therefore evaluate the biological conditions in the near-field area of potential plume impact.The proposed study design to implement the program described in II above is herein given.B.Benthic Or anisms To assess the potential that there are thermal effects on the less frequently encountered species, quarterly samples will be taken at a control station, Station 1, and at a station to be located just north of the thermal plume's warmest spot (Figure 3).~Four or more replicates will be taken.Station 2 will be retained'to help integrate the modified program with the existing data.All other benthic stations.at the offshor'e stations established by FDNR will be terminated.

C.Plankton Ph toolankton Thre'e."replicates from five offshore stations will be collected monthly from surface and bottom depths for analysis of phytoplankton abundance and species composition.

Dao replicates from each station and depth will be collected for chlorophyll"a" analysis.Existing offshore stations will be relocated and concentrated in the immediate area of the offshore discharge.

Station locations, oriented with respect to plume configuration, will be.in the thermal plume's warmest spot (existing Station 1)and at 100 m and 450 m from this warmest spot in the plume (Figure 4).A control station will be located 200 m upcurrent from this warmest spot.Existing Station 2 will be retained to help integrate the modified program with the existing data.All other offshore phytoplankton stations will be deleted.5

All other offshore stations will be eliminated.

Vital dy'e tests will be carried out at the three plume stations and at the control station.D.Nekton The sampling program will consist of offshore gill netting.Two sampling stations will be established near the intake structure and three in the discharge area (Figure 5).The discharge station samples vill provide data on near, intermediate and distant effects of the plume on fish distribution.

Stations will be located in the thermal plume's varmest spot and 200 m and 450 m from this warmest spot.These stations will be sampled as follows: once per month during April through September when.the commercially important.

Station locations, oriented with respect to plume configuration, will be in the thermal plumes warmest location (existing Station 1)and 100 m and 450 m from Station l.A control station will be located 200 m upcurrent from Station 1.Station 2 will be retained to help integrate the data with previous operational monitoring results~IV-SIGNIFXCAI'7T CHANGES FROM THE ETS NOHITORXilG PROGRAN The program proposed in II above differs significantly from that prescribed in the St.Lucie Unit.No.1 ETS in several respects.Xndeed, the ETS themselves contain a provis'on.for modification of the program based upon the data accumulated after two years of operation.

These changes and their.bases are described below.A.Plankton-Station locations and analytical techniques have been revised.13 Justification Except, for Station 1 in the immediate discharge area, no major~~differences in the plankton communities have been noted (Ref.3, page D-17).Stations should be relocated to assess-the degree of influence in the plume area.Station locations oriented in relation to the plume will provide data to make this assessment.

Statistical comparison of phytoplankton density at the offshore stations has generally shown significantly higher surface and bottom phytoplankton densities at Station 1.Chlorophyll"a."-concentration has also been generally elevated at Station 1 (Ref.3, page D-22).The increases may have resulted from phytoplankton from the discharge canal and/or enhanced phytoplankton growth due to increased water temperature.

Surfa'ce zooplankton densities at Station 1 have been significantly greater than those at Stations 0, 2, 3, and 4 (Ref.3, page E-15).Xt is likely that herbivorous zooplankters became concentrated through emigration into the area of Station-1 in response to in-creased phytoplankton abundance.

The proposed sampling stations in the discharge plume will facilitate assessment of possible thermal effects on the zooplankton community.

Zooplankton mortality has been estimated based on major.physical damage to the organisms.

A more sensitive method is to use vital dyes.Vital dye tests should be made on zooplankters collected from selected stations during alternate collection periods.The proposed station locations and analytical techniques would.provide a more accurate determination of plant impact.B.Nektonic Or anisms-Collecting of samples by trawling and seining has been deleted and station locations have been revi.ed.Justification The ETS allows collection of samples by"trawling, seining, or other suitable method." Trawling and beach seining are sampling techniques that are highly selective for bottom dwelling and surf zone dwelling forms.During over three years of study, neither of these communities appears to be influenced by the thermal discharge (Ref.3, page B-40 and B-43)., Offshore gill netting obtains samples in the water column and is an effective methodology for collecting sport and commercial fish species.The proposed'schedule emphasize's collections during the period of the year when migratory species such as-bluefish, Spanish mackerel and king mackerel are in the vicinity of the St.Lucie Plant.Station locations re-located to the immediate plume area will better assess the influence of the plume on the movements of fishes in the area.vegetation has been deleted.Justification The highest diversity of algae, 88 species, was collected"-during the third year of the study.The.number of species collected was lowest, in early spring and highest in summer and early fall.

This seasonal pattern was typical for subtropical marine vegetation.

Diversity was higher near shore because drift (unattached) algae were the predominate forms and these were ca ried inshore by the prevailing winds'and currents (Ref.3, page F-4).~Vegetation distribution and growth at all offshore stations'urveyed seems to be limited by a lack of appropriate substrate for vegetation attachment.

Well developed macrophyte communities may occur on isolated offshore rock outcroping but the chances of the collecting dredge encountering these outcropings is remote.Because the offshore macrophyte community seems to be limited, it is probably not important as a food source or habitat for organisms living in the St.Lucie area.Since, based on the above, the sampling provides little useful data, there is no need for further~~monitoring of macrophytes.

D.Water Qualit-Collection of samples at the bottom and mid-depth levels has been deleted.Justxficatxon Data from the control station, located distant from the St.Luc'e Plant, were compared with results from station-specific water parameter analyses.Literature data for marine waters of nearshore coastal environments adjacent to the plant were also compared with the present, study.Data comparisons (Ref.3)indicated.

a.Nearly all parameters measured varied signif icantly during different months of the year.

I b.There were no significant differences in physicaland chemical parameters between offshore stations or at different depths.These results indicate that.the operation of the St.Lucie Plant has no significant effect on the selected nutrients in this study.Accordingly, primary monitoring for physical and chemical parameters should be required only at the surface.This will provide representative data which can be used to assess any relationship that might exist between the chemical properties of the water and the character of the biological community.

E.Ni rator Sea Turtles-Various requirements relating to the determination of species, numbers, nesting characteristics, effects~~~of the discharge thermal plume,and temperature stress, hatching and rearing factors for migratory sea turtles have been deleted.Justification The requirements of the specification have been satisfied.

Surveys of the species numbers and nesting characteristics of sea turtles that nest along PPL shoreline property and selected adjacent control areas in 1975 and 1977 were completed.

A report of this was prepared (Ref.2)and submitted to the NRC by PPL letter IL-78-109, dateQ Harch 30, 1978.This report also described studies performed to determine the effects of the discharge thermal plume on turtle nesting patterns anQ turtle hatchling swimming.Additionally, control studies on temperature stress, hatching and rearing factors conducted using turtle eggs from displaced nests were reported.The nesting studies showed the following:

l.There are three species of turtles nesting on E1utchinson Island.The most.common is the Atlantic loggerhead turtle, followed by the green turtle and the leatherbacj turtle.2.In 1975 a decline in crawl activity was observed near the St.Lucie Plant which was most probably due to the construction of the offshore intake and discharge systems, but nesting activities returned to normal patterns in 1977.3.Site specificity of nesting/renesting intervals, and timing of nesting appeared to not be affected by plantoperation during 1977.4.An estimated population of 1491 nesting females was determined for 1977.The results of the studies of turtle hatchlings show no evidence that potential offshore surface temperatures from the plant will cause permanent impairment or mortality (Ref.2).Based on the above, no apparent harm is being caused to sea turtles by the St.Lucie Plant.Therefore, the required studies and monitoring need'not be included.in the operational monitoring program.P.Entrainment of A uatic Or anisms (ETS 4.1)-Various require-ments relating to assessment.

of the effects on planktonic organisms of passage through the plant condensers have been deleted.'Justification The results of the ichthyopla'nkton and zooplankton sampling have been presented in the Annual Non-Radiological Environmental.

~v II Monitoring Reports for 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979 (Ref.1, 2, 3, 16).These studies show that the offshore waters in the vicinity of the St.Lucie Plant are not typical of a fish nursery area and have representative zooplankton populations.

Physical character-istics needed in a nursery=area are low or fluctuating salinities, silt-sand-mud-bottom, and extensive beds of rooted aquatic vege-tation.Chemically, the offshore waters in the St.Lucie Plant area are homogeneous throughout with little seasonal variations.

Physically, the offshore areas are characterized by the presence P of relatively constant salinities, shell-hash sediments and.the absence of significant macrophytic grassbeds.

Impo'rtant sport fish were not found to be spawning offshore in the area of the St.Lucie Plant.In general, low concentrations of fish eggs and larvae have been recorded in the intake canal which confirms that entrainment is not significant.

Zooplankton losses through entrainment are not significant.

Based on the above, the required Entrainment Studies need not be included in the operational monitoring program.19 vr v+I LITERATURE CITEDi.2.3~4~Applied Biology, Inc.1977.Ecological monitoring at the Florida Power h Light Co., St.Lucie Plant, annual report, 1976-Report to Florida Power 5 Light Co., tliami, Fla..1978.Ecological monitoring at the Florida Power g Light Co., St-Lucie Plant, annual report, 1977.Report to Florida Power 5 l ight Co., miami, Fla.Applied Biol ogy, Inc.1979-Florida Power 8 Light Company, St-Luci e Pl ant annual non-radi ol og i ca 1 environmental moni tori ng report, 1978.Yol-I'I and III.Biotic monitoring.

'wk I FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY ST.LUCIE PLANT SEMIANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 1, 1989 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1989 UNITS 1 AND 2 TABLE 3.9 (CON'T)SOLID WASTE SUPPLEMENT Note 1: The total curie quantity and radionuclide composition of solid waste shipped from the St.Lucie Plant, Units 1&2 are determined using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques.

In general, the St.Lucie Plant follows the guidelines outlined in the Low Level Waste Licensing Branch Technical Position (BTP)on Radioactive Waste Classification (5/ll/83)for these determinations.

The most frequently used techniques for determining the total curie quantity in a package are the dose to curie methods and the (concentration) x (volume or mass)calculations.

Where appropriate, engineering type activation analyses may be applied.Since each of the above methodologies involves to some extent qualitative parameters, the total curie quantity is considered to be an estimate.The composition of radionuclides in the waste is determined by both on-site analyses for principal gamma emitters and periodic of f-site analyses for other radionuclides.

The on-site analyses are performed either on a batch basis or on a routine basis using reasonably representative samples as appropriate for the waste type.Off-site analyses are used to establish scaling factors or other estimates for radionuclides such as 3H, 14C, 99Tc, 129I, TRU, 241Pu, 242Cm, 63Ni, 55Fe, and 90Sr.Note 2: "Principal Radionuclides" refer to those radionuclides contained in the waste in concentrations greater than.01 times the concentration of the nuclides listed in Table 1 or.01 times the smallest concentration of the nuclides listed in Table 2 of 10 CFR 61.Note 3: "Type of Waste" is generally specified as described in NUREG 0782, Draft Environment Impact Statement on 10 CFR 61,"Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste".Note 4: "Type of Container" refers to the transport package.Note 5: The volume and activity listed for Dry Compressible Waste represent the quantity of material that to date has been sent to the Barnwell, South Carolina burial facility.This material was shipped to a contracted vendor f or volume reduction prior to f inal disposal at the Barnwell, South Carolina burial facility.During the reporting period, seven shipments of Dry Compressible Waste (6532 cubic feet, 1.306E+Curi es)were made from the St.Lucie Plant to the volume reduction facility.This material was shipped via"Sole Use Truck" in non-specification strong tight packages.19 4

t Note 6: The volume and activity listed for non-compressible metal represent the quantity of material that during the reporting period could not be recycled by the contracted vendor and required disposal.Note 7: During the reporting period, four shipments of dewatered secondary bead resin (2400 ft., 8.76E Ci)were made from the St.Lucie Plant to the volume reduction facility.Thus far none of the resin has been disposed of at the Barnwell, South Carolina burial facility.20
