1.1 INTRODUCTION

This* report is submitted in accordance with Section 5.4.1 of the Salem Generating Station, Unit No. 2, Environmental Technical Specifications, Part II-Non-Radiological, (Appendix B to Facility Operating License DPR-75, Docket No. 50-311).

Included are the results of non-radiolog~ca~ environmental monitoring programs required by Section 3.1.2 of the Salem Generating Station, Unit No. 1, Environmental Technical Specifications, (Appendix B to Facility Operating License DPR-70, Docket No. 50-272).

Much of the equipment and resources utilized by Salem Unit No. 1 are shared by Salem Unit No. 2.

Although differences in Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS) reporting requirements for both units exist, no distinction is made for the purpose of assessing environmental impacts.

This report covers Salem Unit No. 1 and Salem Unit No. 2 for the period from January 1 through December 31, 1986.

1.2

SUMMARY

During 1986, Salem Unit No. 1 generated 7,079,276 megawatt-hours of riet electrical energy, while Salem Unit No. 2 generated 5,312,561 megawatt-hours.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.3 o~ the Salem Unit No. 2 ETS, all 19.86 recommended design changes for Salem Generating Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2 were reviewed for potential environmental impact.

None would involve a change in the applicable ETS if implemented, or pose an unreviewed environmental question.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued a revised final New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES)/Discharge to Surface Water (DSW) Permit Number NJ005622 for Salem Generating Station on December 1, 1985.

The final NJPDES/DSW permit imposes several additional monitoring requirements and contains 1tems that Public Service Electric and Gas Company believes are excessively restrictive.

. ;._... :.,:,. ~.:..

. :... ~

Accordingly, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-8.6, a request was filed with the NJDEP, Division of Water Resources, for an adjudicatory hearing.

No *response has been received to date.

Both the NJPDES/DSW permit and the request for adjudication have been forwarded to the NRC in accordance with Section 5.4.1 of the Salem Unit No. 2 ETS.

Copies of monthly NJPDES Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were also submitted to the NRC for the year 1986 in accordance with Section 5.4.2.d of the Salem Unit No. 2 ETS.

No changes to, or exceedances for the other Salem Generating Station environmental permits occurred in 1986.

One (1) environmentally related non-routine report was submitted to the NRC during 1986.

It involved the impingement of a Kemp's Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempi) on the circulating water intake trash bars.

The animal was found dead and evidence of postmortem autolysis was apparent.

The Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) was notified and the animal was transported to their facilities in Absecon, N.J.

The proper authorities were notified of the event initially by telephone and a written report followed.

Meteorological monitoring data for 1986, as required by Section 3.1.l.6 of the Salem Generating Station, Unit No. l ETS, was submitted to the NRC as part of the Radio-logical Effluent Release Report, (Regulatory Guide 1.21 Report), in September 1986 and March 1987.

1.2 CONCLUSION

No significant environmental impacts attributable to the operation of Salem Generating Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2 were observed during 198~.

The required biotic monitoring (i.e., for diamondback terrapin and osprey/eagle) was conducted in accordance with the Salem Generating Station, Unit No. 1 ETS.

No apparent changes in terrestrial ecology in the vicinity of the Salem Generating Station were observed.

Section 2.0 of this report contains the details of *the terrestrial ecology studies and results.

SECTION 2.0 BIOTIC MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE PROGRAMS 2.1 DIAMONDBACK TERRAPIN NESTING STUDY (ETS Section 3.1.2.1.)

The study objective is to monitor nesting by diamondback terrapin at typical beaches in the vicinity of Artificial Island.

Northern diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin terrapin, inhabit brackish water along the Atlantic Coast from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras.

Nesting usually begins by early to mid June and continues through July.

Hatching usually begins in mid to late August and may continue through November.

Cold weather may cause the young to hibernate in or near the nest and emerge the following spring (Carr, 1952; Lawler and Musick, 1972).

In 1986, diamondback terrapin nesting activity was monitored at two beaches on the Delaware River within 4.8 km of Salem during the period May 28 through November 10.

Nesting was recorded from May 28 through late July and evidence suggests greatest activity in June and early July.

The level of activity varied greatly between sites but remained within the range recorded annually since 1975.

Number of females estimated to utilize each beach was 463 at Liston Point beach and 106 at Sunken Ship Cove beach.

One female was marked at Liston Point beach and none were marked at Sunken Ship Cove beach.

Age of the marked turtle probably exceeded 20 years.

No previously marked turtles were recaptured.

Tracks of hatchlings from nests laid in 1986 were noted in late-August, September, and late October.

The occur-rence of hatchling tracks at Sunken Ship Cove beach in May and June is evidence of eggs and/or hatchlings over-wintering in or near nests laid in 1985.

Track evidence indicated a similar assemblage of predators as recorded in previous years, with raccoon and red and/or gray fox accounting for most nest depredation.

\\" '*.*. ~.

Study Area Observations were made from May 28 through Novem-ber 10, 1986 at Sunken Ship Cove beach, New Jersey, and Liston Point beach, Delaware (Fig. 2.1-1).

For a description of these locations see Volume 2

of the 1977 Annual Environmental Operating Report (PSE&G, 1978).

Materials and Methods Searches for evidence of nesting were conducted during daylight hours weekly from late May through July, bi-weekly in August, September and October and once in November.

Effort was made to minimize site disturbance and to allow females to finish nesting before being examined.

Nesting females were caught by hand, and the length and width of the carapace and plastron were measured.

Each turtle was marked with an individual binary-code which consisted of holes drilled in one or more of the 10 post-dorsal marginal laminae.

These plates are situated so that they can be easily drilled with little or no injury to the turtle.

The marking program provides information on nesting-beach fidelity, growth, and movements.

For further description of the study methods see Volume 2 of the 1977 Annual Environmental Operating Report (PSE&G, 1978).

Data Reduction The following formula was developed to provide a relative estimate of the number of nesting females (N) utilizing each site:

N = [(S+(R-S) -

2)D] -

3V where S is the number of turtles sighted, R is the number of pairs of tracks counted, D is the estimated number of days of nesting activity, 3 is the estimated mean number of nests laid per female during the nesting season (based on Hildebrand, 1932), and Vis the number of times the beach was visited over the nesting period.

Results and Discussion Nesting, as inferred from the presence of adult tracks, in 1986 at Sunken Ship Cove beach was

. *.......... :.,; *. *.... :_*. '-: *~ *...... ;*~ -~-*

first noted on June 6 and last noted on July 10 (Table 2.1-1).

At Liston Point beach, adult tracks were first noted on May 28 and were last noted on July 29 (Table 2.1-2).

Nesting activity, also inferred from the number of adult tracks, varied over time but generally was highest in June and early July.

Daily and seasonal nesting activity remained within the range recorded in previous years.

The annual estimate of nesting terrapins was, as in previous years, higher at Liston Point beach, with 463, while at Sunken Ship Cove beach it was 106.

These estimates are, by nature of the program, conservative (low).

The data collected on nesting activity at Sunken Ship Cove beach is quite sparse.

Sunken Ship Cove beach is a popular fishing spot and this activity probably disturbed normal nesting behavior and may have deterred some turtles from nesting.

An indication of egg production at each site can be inf erred from egg shell counts from depredated nests and counts of eggs from viable nests.

A total of 475 nests were recorded during 1986; these contained approximately 3,676 eggs and/or remnants.

Liston Point beach had the higher egg counts, with approximately 3,666 from 474 nests, while Sunken Ship Cove beach had approximately 10 from one nest.

Depredated nests, which are much easier to detect than viable nests, accounted for 98.7 percent of the observed nests at Liston Point beach.

The nest observed at Sunken Ship cove beach was viable.

Track evidence in 1986 indicated an assemblage of predators similar to previous years.

At Liston Point beach, raccoon, Procyon lotor; red fox, Vulpes fulva and/or gray fox, Urocyon cinereoargenteus were common.

Raccoon and Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus were common at Sunken Ship Cove beach.

Other probable hatchling predators include gulls, Larus spp.; crows, Corvus spp.

and herons (Ardeidae).

One terrapin was marked with a binary-code in 1986; this turtle was captured at Liston Point beach.

The turtle was female, with a carapace length and width of 18.4 cm and 15.1 cm, respec-tively, and plastron length and width of 17.1 cm and 10.2 cm, respectively.

This terrapin was probable more than 20 years old.

Exact determin-ation of age in older specimens is difficult since the ridged annuli on the carapace scutes become less distinct with age.

Eventually, the shell becomes completely smooth which may indicate age to perhaps 40+ years (Hildebrand, 1932).

A total of 41 sets of hatchling tracks were noted from May 28 to October 23; 13 at Liston Point beach and 28 at Sunken Ship Cove beach.

The hatch-ling tracks noted in late May and early June at Sunken Ship Cove beach came from hatchlings which overwintered in nests laid during the 1985 nesting season (Table 2.1-1).

Tracks of terrapin hatched from nests laid in 1986 were first noted on August 26 at both beaches and last noted on October 23, again at both beaches.

Incubation period for a nest laid at Sunken Ship Cove beach on July 10 was ca. 62 days.

A nest laid at Liston Point beach on July 10 was still viable but had not hatched when last checked on November 10.

This nest will probable overwinter and hatch in 1987.

2.2 OSPREY AND BALD EAGLE SURVEY (ETS Section 3.1.2.1)

The study objectives are to record the occurrence. of osprey and bald eagle and to monitor nesting of osprey in the vicinity of Artificial Island.

The North American osprey, Pandion haliaetus carolinensis, had been federally classified as "status undetermined" (USDI, 1973) but has since been deleted from the list.

It was listed as endangered by the State of New Jersey but was down-listed to threatened in 1985 (NJAC 7:254.17 as amended May 6, 1985).

The State of Delaware does not include osprey on its Endangered and Threatened species list (DEDNREC 1981).

The southern bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus leucocephalus, is federally classified as "endangered" (USDI, 1979).

Osprey were observed in the study area from March 24 through August 26.

Twelve nests were_ occupied and appeared active, five of which fledged a total of 9 young.

Due to the absence of bald eagle nesting in the study area, no special study program was established.

Records were kept of sightings, which in 1986 was one.

2.2.1 2.2.2 Study Area Observations were made at and in the vicinity of actual and potential. osprey nesting sites in the general area shown in Figure 2.1-1.

The region extends roughly 16 km north, 13 km south, and 8 km east and west from Salem Generating Station.

The area features bay, riverine, marsh, upland field and wooded habitats.

Duck blinds, pilings, navigation range markers, and powerline towers are common features.

Materials and Methods Known osprey nests were observed by helicopter monthly in March, April, June, July and August and twice in May.

During flights the ar~a was surveyed for new osprey nesting sites.

The numbers of adults and eggs or young in each nest were recorded.

To avoid undue. stress on the birds, the helicopter approached to a discrete distance

(>50 yds) from the nest and paused only briefly to allow the nest to be viewed with binoculars.

Bald eagle sighted during the course of osprey nesting flights were recorded.

Sightings of osprey and bald eagle were also recorded in the course of other field work throughout the year and are included in this report.

Results and Discussion In 1986, osprey were sighted in the area from March 24 through August 26, typically on or near nesting structures.

The greatest numbers of adults sighted during monthly flights were in April (n=20) and July (n=21) at the height of the egg laying and fledging periods, respectively.

Twenty-three nests were located; 12 were occupied and appeared active, two were occupied by nesting great horned owls with a total of 3 young, while the remainder may have been constructed as house-keeping nests by sexually irrunature birds or as secondary nests by adjacent breeding adults (Table 2.2-1).

Of the total number of nests, 21 were in electrical transmission-line towers, one was in a navigational rangelight tower and one was in a dead cedar tree (Fig. 2.1-1).

Of the 12 active nests, it is estimated that 5 were successful and fledged a total of 9 young.

This compared with 23 fledged in 1985, 12 fledged in 1984, 13 fledged in 1983 and five fledged in 1982.

The nine osprey fledged in 1986 was sub-stantially below the record number fledged in 1985 but was within the range (4 to 23) and close to the mean (9.9) for the previous 12 years of study (1974 through 1985).

The first osprey nest to be built on a tower in the new Salem-Deans Lines (completed in 1984) was noted on July 18 in tower 4/1.

One bald eagle was sighted in the study area during 1986.

The eagle was irrunature and was perched in a tree located along the bayshore just north of Woodland Beach, Delaware on October 17.
