1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan The objective of the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of the environment at the Turkey Point Plant and immediate adjacent areas.

The principle objectives of the EPP are to:

1. Aid in determining that the plant is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by NRC environmental impact assessments.

2. Provide for review of NRC requirements to maintain consistency with other I'ederal and State requirements for environmental protection.

'. Keep NRC informed of any significant environmental impacts due to facility operation and of actions taken in response to any impacts.

Environmental concerns which relate to any water quality and biological monitoring matters willbe regulated by way of EPA through the licensee's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues With assumption of aquatic monitor ing programs by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the NPDES program, NRC will rely on EPA for resolution of issues involving the monitoring of water quality and biological monitoring programs.

3.0 Consistency Requir ements 3.1 Pacility Design and Operation

'he licensee may make changes in facility design or operation or perform tests or experiments affecting the environment provided such changes, tests or experiments do not involve an unreviewed environmental question. Changes in plant design or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do not significantly affect the environment are not subject to this requirement.

Before engaging in construction or operational activities which 'may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall perform an environmental evaluation of such activity.* EUhen the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activities and obtain prior approval from the NRC.

A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns a matter which may result in significant adverse environmental impact.

The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and exper iments carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These records shall include a written evaluation which provides bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question.

• Activities are excluded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological effects are confined to the onwite areas previously disturbed during site preparation, plant constr uction and previous plant operation.

Activities governed by Section 3.3 of this EPP are not subject to the requirements of section 3.1.

3.2 Reporting Related to the NPDES Permit and State 401 Certification

1. Violations of the NPDES Permit or the State 401 Certification Conditions shaO be reported to the NRC by submittal of copies of the reports required by the NPDES Permit or State 401 Certification.

2. Changes and additions to the NPDES Permit or the State 401 Certification shall be reported to the NRC within 30 days following the date the change is approved. If a permit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is appealed and stayed, the NRC shall be no'tified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.

3. The NRC shall be notified of changes to the effective NPDES Permit proposed by the licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the same time it is submitted to the permitting agency. The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES Permit at the same time the application is submitted to the permitting agency.

3.3 Changes Required For Compliance With Other Environmental Regulations Changes in facility design or oper ation and performance of tests or experiments

which are required to achieve compliance with other Pederal, State, or local environmental regulations are not subject to the requirements of Section 3.1.

4.0 Administrative Procedures 4.1 Review and Audit The licensee shall provide for review and audit of compliance with the Environmental Protection Plan. The audits shall be conducted independently of the individual or groups responsible for performing the specific activity. A description of the organization structure utilized to achieve the independent review and audit function and results of the audit activities shall be maintained and made available for inspection.

4.2 Records Retention Records and logs relative to the environmental aspects of facility operation which have significant environmental impact shall be made and retained in a manner convenient for review and inspection. These records and logs shall be made available to NRC on request.

Records of modifications to plant structures, systems and components determined to potentially affect the continued protection of the environment shall be retained for the life of the facility. All other records, data and logs relating to this EPP shall be retained for five years or, where applicable, in accordance with the requirements of other agencies.

4.3 Changes in Environmental Protection Plan Request for change in the Environmental Protection Plan shall include an assessment of the environmental impact of the proposed change and a supporting justification.

Implementation of such changes in the EPP shall not commence prior to NRC approval of the proposed changes in the form of a license amendment incorporating the appropriate revision to the Environmental Protection Plan.

5.0 Facility Reporting Requirements 5.1 A written report shall be submitted to the NRC within 30 days of occurrence of any event having significant environmental impact. The report shall (a) describe, analyze, and evaluate the event, including extent and magnitude of the impact and facility operating characteristics, (b) describe the probable cause of the event, (c) indicate the action taken to correct the reported event, (d) indicate the corrective action taken to preclude repetition of the event and to prevent similar occurrences involving similar components or systems, and (e) indicate the agencies notified.

Events reportable under this subsection which also require reports to other Federal, State or local agencies shall be reported in accordance with those reporting requirements in lieu of the requirements of this subsection. The NRC shall be provided a copy of such report within 10 working days of the time it is submitted to the other agency.

5.2 Unusual or Important Environmental Events Any occurrence of an unusual or important event that indicates or could result in significant environmental impact causally related to facility operation shall be recorded and promptly reported to the NRC within 5 working days followed by a written report within 30 days. No routine monitoring programs are required to implement this condition.
