M!DINLLCOLOGY MSNITORING R[tATED TO CPERAtlDN Of PILGR!M STATION UNIT NPDES FFPMli EPOGRAwS In at:ordante eith NPDES Permit requirements for Pilgrim Statien Permit '4o. MA0003557 presented for(Federal) 1991. and No. 359 (State), the following modified programs are The 1978 through 1990 programs were submittet to tne Regional Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ano Director, Pass. Olvision of Water Pollution Control (M0WPC), in Decemt'er 1977 through December 1989, respectively. 1, [NVIRONMENTAL MONITODING The Environmental Monitoring Program represents a continuation of previous monitoring. Pre-operational studies for Pilgrim Unit I commenced in 1969, almost four years before initial operation in December 1972. In accordance with environmental monitoring ana reporting requirements of the Unit 1 Operating License, OPR-3E, issued by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (now the Nuclear Regulatory Commission) Boston Edison carried out a post-operational Marine Ecology Program. This program was designed to investigate the Cape Cod Bay ecosystem, with emphasis on the Rocky Point area, in order to determine whatner the operation of Pilgrim Station resulted in measurable effects on the marine ecology and evaluate the significance of any such effects. The Marine Ecology Program for Unit I continued for five years from initial full power operation (that is, through December 1997) and was replaced by this NPOES Permit Program (with NRC concurrence). Amendment #67 (1983) to the PN05 Technical Specifications deleted Appendix B non-radiological water quality requirements since the NRC believed they were incorporated in the NPDES Permit. The post.-operational moMtoring for Pilgrim Unit I and the collected data are incorporated ano analyzed in the Marine Ecology Semi-Annual Reports (#1-36), Marine Ecology Final Report (1978), and the Section 316 Demonstration Document (1975) and Supplement (1977) pursuant to the Feceral Water Pollution Control Att Amendments of 1972. The NPDES Program includes the following elenents: A, ,Pilarim Administrative - Technical Committee The Pilgrim Administrative - Technical Committee (PATC) is an ( advisory cornittee that was established to ensure the Pilgrim marine studies have the benefit of cualified, outside scientific and technical advice, and are responsive to regulat;ry agency concerns. The PATC recommends improvement to ongoing monitoring based on the latest results with tne approval of the U.S. EPt :.n : Mass. Div. of Hater Pollution Control. It nas nele 74 neetings ( _______-__--_--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -- - -~

Division of Marine Fisheries) The Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF), an agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, conducts field monitoring (modified in 1981) pertinent to Pilgrim Station. listed below will be continued in 1990. The monitoring efforts Elih-The OHF monitors the occurrence and distribution of fish around Rocky Point and at sites in the area of discharge temperature increase. Groundfish will be collected using a 32-foot Shrimp trawl (1/2 inch mesh-liner) bi-weekly from April-December and monthly from January-March. Four stations will be sampled (including replicates), at 2 reference and 2 surveillance locationseffluent. thermal which include the PNPS intake embayment and discharge Figure i shows sampling station locations. - A finfish observational dive survey (Figure 1) will continue in 1990 for the Pilgrim Station thermal plume area. will involve bi-weekly diving from May through November toThis monitoring document fish behavior and condition at six stations. mid-August to mid-September, weekly diving will be done toDuring document potential thermal plume-related mortalities. In June-November 1990, a 150-foot and 20-foot beach seine (3/16 inch mesh bag) survey (Figure 2) will be performed bi-weekly at four stations, including one in the Pilgrim Station intake embayment. This monitoring will record fishes which are most - susceptible _to large impingement mortalities that have occurred in previous years. An initial cunner tagging effort will be commenceo to-determine the feasibility of occumenting this resicent species relation to the thermal plume. 2-1 e u- -+,,,m., - , m, -w_.r_.or .._,%'..m. ~ . , , . ..,_ym_,_...,,<,._, m.m.v .m..,.,,..mm,. .w . . _ , - .....y ,,m.. a.~,- .,-4 ..., ,w.. , . , . , .. - , . ~, _ . . _ .

The DMF has collected lobster Catch statistics bi-seekly through each fishing season (May-November) by sampling comercial ' icbstermen's pot hault. this effort will continue with one lobsterman as a measure of the Pilgrim Station effect on the local lobster population (Figure 4 shows the sampling grid). Ggs Saturation in 1990,-saturated gas analyses will be conducted only during ^ periods of potential discharge-related mortalities (as occurred in August 1985). A Heistof total partial pressure saturometer dissolved will be used in situ to measure of total gas, nitrogen, and oxygen, gases, and percent saturation

9t m ement e nit:rina (Marine Research, Inc./BECo) The main objective of the impingetent study is to calculate imoingement rates of marine organisms by gathering and analyzing data on numbers streens at Pilgrimaed species carried onto the four travelling water Station. In 1990 the weekly collection time will be twenty-four hours (three 8-hour periods). Supplemental fish survival data datathe and prepare willreports. also be recorded. BECo will analyze the \ D. Benthic monitorina The benthic flora and fauna will be monitored at three sampling stations at depths of approximately 10 feet (MLW) (Figure 1). The 1 dominant flora and fauna in each plot are recorded, and quantitative samples are collected from rock surfaces. Sampling will continue two times.a year (March and h otember) to determine power plant-related effects. o In addition.- transect monitoring to map t' o'ent of stunted and denuded areas imediately off the discha al will be continued 4 times a year (March, June. . L- and December) in 1990. E. Entrainment wenitorina (Marine Research, Inc.) l.
-Entrainment monitoring in 1989 emphasized consideration of ichthyoplankton, as it_will in 1990.
The 1990 entrainment studies will consist-of routine monitoring of L

WR1 will analyze the cata and prepare the reports.
E. Reoortino of Environmental Monitorina Semi-annual anc annual reports with results of the above (Items A-E) will be submitted to the EPA and MDWPC on October 31, 1990 and April 30, 1991 covering the periods January-June and January-Decemper 1990. respectively. li. IWERMal DISCHARCE__Fl!H SQ3R[lllaNCE The Thermal Discharge fish Surveillance Program for Pilgrim Station has the fellowing primary parts: A. Overflichts ' Periccic aerial overflights of western Cape Cod Bay and the Ptigrim-vicinity will be conducted to alert Boston Edison to the presence of large schools of-fish in the area. These overflights will be conducted weekly from March-November 1990 and results summarized by BECo in each annual monitoring report. B. Qbservation of the Ditcharae Canal Boston Edison personnel will make frequent visual observations of-the Pilgrim discharge canal during periods of fish migration. i C. Dive Surve:gs Dive inspections of the discharge canal and fish barrier net will determine fish presense and condition, and barrier net performance._ BECo will report dive survey findings in each annual monitoring report. Also, fish sampling and diver observation in the plume area will-be conducted bi-weekly from May through November by Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries personnel ! as part of the Environmental Monitoring Program. The dive and observation elements of the Surveillance Program monitor' compliance with the NPDES Permit barrier net condition, by providing a check on the adequacy of the net in preventing fish passage into the discharge canal.- If these elements indicate that the barrier net is not functioniog adequately and the Permit's 1151 surface nitrogen limitation is triggered by the EPA the overflights, as well as the canal observations and dive surveys, will indicate when fish susceptible to gas bubble disease mortality are- sufficiently near Pilgrim Station to warrant action t

[ to recute surface nitrogen saturation level to less than 115%. Boston Edison will notify the EPA Regional Administrator anc Wassachusetts DHPC Director of the presence of large schools of
'ish eithin 1/2 mile of the discharge canal concurrent with water
- llity concitions potentially harmful to the fish.
I ! .* 2 ELE.2 nllEIOL'UAIL'RAIld MllI.3 The plan for recuting dissolved nitrogen surface saturation levels to less than 11$% in the discharge canal mill involve a power reduction or outage should a school of fish susceptible to gas bubble disease mortality be in the immediate vicinity of Pilgrim Station. The procedure for determining the need, feasibility and request for a cower reduction or outage is as follows: , 1 Responsible regulatory / agency personnel familiar with fishery statistics (e.g. Nass. Division of Marine Fisheries) will estimate the magnitude of the fish school and, based on measured water Quality and other pertinent environmental data, make a determination as to the likelihood and tffect of a gas bubble disease mortality.
