,. . e 4. 13 NON-RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRbNMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The non-radiol_ogical environmental monitoring program applies to the monitoring of the temperature-salinity distribution and the biological variables in the 10-mile segment of the James River Estuary centered at Hog Island. The program is conducted in order to (1) further characterize the relationship between the thermal discharge and the physical-chemical characteristics of the water mass within the 10-mile tidal segment of the James River; (2) further verify the continued efficiency of the Ristroph traveling fish screens; and (3) monitor the fish populations in the James River utilizing the data collected from the haul seine and otter trawl samples. Reporting of data from the Ristroph traveling fish screens is required only in the event of mortality exceeding 25% and then directly to the Region I I Office of Inspection

(_ 4.13.A.1 4.13.A.1.1 e TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY MONITORING METHODS This program is conducted at monthly intervals using boat cruises along the scheme illustrated in Figure 4.13.A-1.

Sampli~g starts along the lntakes-Skiffes Creek transect just before low slack water, proceeds upstream, and concludes with the Jamestown Island-Crouches Creek transect.

At each station temperature and salinity are measured at two-meter intervals from surface to bottom. 4.13.A.1-1 RESULTS Temperature and salinity measurements are shown in Figure 4.13.A-2 through 4.13.A-25.

Temperatures are recorded continuously on Taylor circular chart recorders located at each point. Charts are changed weekly and temperatures digitized using a Hewlett-Packard 9864A digitizer.

Monthly means of daily mean intake temperatures were within or near 0 0 0 1.4 C except for March (-2.6 C) and November (-2.4 C). Discharge temperatures (monthly means of daily means) followed no discernable pattern. Temperatures were lowered as much as 8.8°c (from the overall postoperational mean) during February, March, and April when the station was off line. Otherwise, the means were within or close to 2°c except for September and October when they were raised about 3°c. September intake temperatures were about l.5°c warmer in 1980. The October discharge temperatures differed slightly more but were within allowable limits.

e e 4.13.A,3 CONDENSER-COOLING SYSTEM CHLORINATION Chlorine was not used in condenser cleaning and therefore no monitoring was performed.

  • 4.13.A*.4 CHEMICAL RELEASES TO THE COOLING SYSTEM These data are reported monthly.

4.13.B 4.13.B.1 4.13.B.1.A e I FISH SAMPLING MONTHLY BEACH SEINE AND OTTER TRAWL SAMPLING METHODS Sampling is conducted monthly at one otter trawl station located off the low level intakes and at two beach seining stations located immediately upstream (Intake N) and downstream (Intake S) of the low-level intakes (Figure 4.13.A.2-2).

The trawl sample is taken by towing a 3.1 m (diameter at mouth) trawl of 6.4 mm bar mesh in the cod for 10 minutes starting just off the low-level intake structure with an ENE heading. The beach seine samples are taken using a 15.2 m wide x .1.8 m deep x 6.4 mm bar mesh seine that is first stretched perpendicular to the shore, hauled 100 m and then brought ashore. Samples are usually preserved immediately and then taken to the laboratory for identification and measuring.

Occasionally, when large or unusual fishes are caught, their catch is noted on the field sheet and they are immediately released.

4.13.B.1.B RESULTS Data for the monthly seine and trawl samples are shown in Tables 4.13.B.2.B-1 to 4.13.B.2.B-12.

A total column for the two seine stations is provided also. The tables show the catch for each species, the total catch of all species, the number of species for each station, and the diversity estimates H-Prime, Evenness, and Richness.

'\,../ ,,, ',.,. ,, * / ' e 4. 13, B. 3 The data collected in the seine and trawl samples may probably best be analyzed by inspection of preoperational, earlier postoperational, and current samples from the stations now monitored.

Tables 4,13-IA and B show the relative abundance of each species for each gear type during the preoperational period, during the postoperational period prior to 1980, and during 1980. As might be expected, the data show considerable variation among the minor species. Among the major species caught in the seine samples, Anchoa mitchilli, Brevoortia tt.rannus, and Menidia menidia increased while Menidia beryl] ina and tlotropis hudsonius decreased.

In the trawl samples, Microe_ogonias undulatus and lct~lurus .e!:!_~ctatus decreased while Trinectes maculatus increased.

At most, these variations can be considered to reflect normal estuarine variability coupled both with the effects of the recent severe winters of 1977, 1978, and 1980, and the drought of 1980. Power station operations do not appear to have had a noticeable effect.
