This report and Volume I described below fulfill these reporting requirements.

II.Sea Turtle Monitorin and Associated Activities A report on aquatic and terrestrial sea turtle monitoring programs as described in EPP Sections 4.2.1 (Beach Nesting Surveys), 4.2.3 (Studies to Evaluate and/or Mitigate Intake Canal Mortality) and 4.2.5 (Capture and Release Program)is concurrently submitted in a separate report (AB-610, Vol.I)prepared by Applied Biology, Inc.of Jensen Beach, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia.Studies to evaluate and/or mitigate intake entrapment required by Section 4.2.2 of the EPP have been previously performed.

A final report was submitted to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation on April 18, 1985.With submittal of that report, the EPP requirement was fulfilled and will not be readdressed in this or future reports.Surveillance and maintenance of the light screen to minimize sea turtle disorientation as required by Section 4.2.4 of the EPP is ongoing.The Australian Pine light screen, located on the beach dune between the power plant and the ocean, is routinely surveyed to determine its overall vitality.The tree line is surveyed for any gaps occurring from tree mortality, which would result in unacceptable light levels on the beach.Trees are replaced as necessary to maintain the overall integrity of the light screen.

III.Other Routine Re orts The following items for which reporting is required are listed by section number from the plant's Environmental Protection Plan (EPP): 5.4.1.(a)EPP NONCOMPLIANCES AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN No noncompliances under EPP Section 5.4.1(a)were determined to have occurred 5.4.1.(b)during 1990.CHANGES IN STATION DESIGN OR OPERATION TESTS AND EXPERIMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH EPP SUBSECTION 3.1 5.4.1.(c)No plant site activities were determined to be reportable under Section 5.4.1(b)during 1990.NONROUTINE REPORTS SUBMI ITED TO THE NRC FOR THE YEAR 1 0 IN 2.3.4.5.ACCORDANCE WITH EPP SUBSECTION 5.4.2: Report concerning a fishkill event in the plant's condenser cooling water system intake canal;reported to the NRC on March 13, 1990.Report concerning failure to conduct the mirumum number of Free Available Oxidant (Residual Chlorine)analyses on once-through cooling water discharge required by the plant's NPDES Permit;reported to the NRC on May 20, 1990.Submittal of an NPDES Permit modification request to EPA for steam generator chemical cleaning;submitted to the NRC on June 18, 1990.Report concerning an exceedance of the NPDES Permit limitation for maximum once-through cooling water system chlorination time;reported to the NRC on August 10, 1990.Report concerning failure to record effluent flow readings from the Unit 1 Sewage Treatment Plant as required by the NPDES Permit;reported to the NRC on November 14, 1990.

I I I The following reports were submitted to the NRC for the year 1990 for informational purposes although not required under provisions of EPP subsection 5.4,2: 1.Sea turtle activities report dated April 17, 1990 for the first quarter 1990.2.Sea turtle activities report dated July 12, 1990 for the second quarter 1990.3.Sea turtle activities report dated November 17, 1990 for the third quarter 1990.4.Sea turtle activities report dated January 24, 1991 for the fourth quarter 1990.Following submission of the 1st quarter 1991 sea turtle activities report to the NRC, the submission of future quarterly reports to the NRC of this type will be terminated.

These reports have been submitted to the NRC in the past for informational purposes, while a summary of this information is submitted in the annual report prepared by Applied Biology, Inc.
