FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOs. NPF-87 & 89 I. INTRODUCTION This report describes implementation of the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) for the calendar year 2017 as required by Appendix B to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-87 & 89 for Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) for Units 1 & 2. During 2017, the CPNPP Non-Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program was effective in implementing and monitoring all CPNPP environmental regulatory commitments. Program effectiveness in 2017 was substantiated by both Luminant Corporate environmental audits/ compliance evaluations and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) inspections concerning the CPNPP Environmental program. IL SCOPE Section 5.4.1 of the EPP requires that CPNPP submit to the NRC an Annual Environmental Operating Report that shall address the following environmental protection activities:
A. Summaries and analyses of the results of the environmental protection activities required by Section 4.2 of the EPP, including a comparison with related preoperational studies, operational controls (as appropriate), and previous non-radiological environmental monitoring reports, and an assessment of the observed impacts of plant operation on the environment.
If harmful effects or evidence of trends toward i rreversible damage to the environment are observed , a detailed analysis of the data and a proposed course of mitigating actions are required.
Section 4.2 of the EPP pertains to results from: 1. Groundwater levels and station water use monitoring.
- 2. Water treatment facility outages impact assessment and reporting. B. The report shall also include: 1. A list of EPP non-compliances and the associated corrective actions. 2. A list of all changes in station design and operation, tests , and experiments made in accordance with Subsection 3.1 of the EPP which involved a potentially significant unreviewed environmental question.
- 3. A list of non-routine reports submitted in accordance with Subsection 5.4.2 of the EPP. 4. A summary list of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit related reports relative to matters identified in Subsection 2.1 of the EPP which were submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) during the report period. Subsection 2.1 of the EPP pertains to aquatic matters that are addressed by the effluent limitations , and the monitoring requirements contained in the TCEQ TPDES station wastewater discharge permit. 2 Ill. RESULTS OF ACTIVITIES A. As required by Subsection 4.2 of the EPP , the following are summaries and analyses of the environmental protection activities during 2017. Based on the results of these activities, there were no observed adverse environmental impacts resulting from plant operation during 2017. 1. Groundwater Pumpage As i ndicated in Table 2, groundwater pumpage during 2017 averaged 0.100 gals /min. (gpm) or 52500 total gallons withdrawn for the year. CPNPP continues to be supplied by Somervell County Water District (SCWD) which started in January 2012. Groundwater withdrawal dropped to <1 gpm after Somervell County Water District (SCWD) became our supplier. Groundwater withdrawn during 2017 was used primarily for potable and sanitary purposes.
No groundwater was used to supplement the station's Surface Water Treatment System. The average annual pumpage rate of 0.100 gpm for 2017 represents
<1 % of the predicted operational pumpage (127 gpm) identified in Section 3.3 of the Station's Environmental Report -Operational License Stage. This rate also represents approximately 0.1 % of the actual average withdrawal rate (158 gpm) reported in the Station's Final Environmental Statement
-Operating License Stage (Section 5.3.1.2) for the period 1975 to May 1979. 2. Groundwater Levels As indicated in Table 1 , the groundwater level in the on-site observation well OB-3 (intersection of Highway 56 and the Plant Access Road) fluctuated during 2017 from a low level in September of 616.87 ft. Mean Sea Level (MSL) to a high level in March of 619.00 ft. MSL. Overall, the water level in OB-3 during the reporting period (January through December) decreased 0.64 ft. = 0.20 m The 2017 annual average groundwater levels in wells OB-3 and OB-4 were 617.69 ft. MSL and 553.45 ft. MSL respectively.

- 3. Surface Water Treatment System Operation The station's Water Treatment System processed 197,327,000 total gallons of surface water during 2017 for plant process use. No outages in 2017 that required reporting in accordance with Section 4.2.2 of the EPP. The following is a summary list of monthly surface water usage: I Month I Gallons Clarified I January 17,090,000 February 15,282,000 March 15 , 340,000 April 15,886,000 May 20,541,000 June 16,037,000 July 15,998,000 Auqust 16,701,000 September 16,593 , 000 October 15,659,000 November 14,993,000 December 17,207,000 Total annual production 197,327,000 B. EPP Noncompliance and Corrective Actions -Subsection 5.4.1(1) There were no non-compliances with the requirements of the EPP during the reporting period. C. Changes In Station Design or Operation, Tests, and Experiments Made In Accordance With Subsection
3.1 Which
Involved A Potentially Significant Unreviewed Environmental Question.
There were no changes in station design, operation, tests or experiments conducted during the reporting period that are reportable under this subsection.
D. Non-routine Reports Submitted In Accordance With Subsection 5.4.2 None 4 E. Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit-Related Reports Relative to Matters Identified In Subsections 2.1 and 5.4.1 1. Routine monthly electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (netDMR) for all wastewater outfalls were submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for each month during 2017. 2. Bio-monitoring was on a Quarterly frequency in 2017. All required test passed satisfactorily for the four test performed in 2017. 3. There were no excursions in 2017 w i th reference to TPDES wastewate r discharge permit. 4. There were eleven (11) incidental spills in 2017 with none being reportable.
