INTRODUCTION
These Technical Specifications apply to the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear
Generating Station Unit No. 1. These Technical Specifications pertain to
certain conditions governing the operation of this facility, which are
important to protecting the environs from chemical contaminants generated
by virtue of the facilities operation.
These Technical Specifications will not be changed except by express
permission and with the approval of the Atomic Energy Commission.

DEFINITIONS
The following frequently used terms are defined to provide a uniform
basis for interpretation of these Technical Specifications.
1. Slowdown - is that effluent released from the open recirculating
water systems to control the concentration of chemical constituents.
The release is normally made from the hot water side returning to
the cooling towers. Provisions have been made to facilitate release
of the blowdown from the cold water side leaving the circulating
water cooling tower.
2. Commercial Operation - will be the first day following the date the
plant is complete, licensed, tested and has satisfactorily completed
the Full Power 72-Hour Demonstration Run.
3. Non-Radioactive Effluent - is an effluent released from the plant
containing only background radioactivity; effluent not released
from the plant radioactive effluent treatment system.
4. Normal Effluent Discharge Path - is the effluent discharge path
along the Goosequill Ditch, the Jay Thomas Ditch, through the
farm pond into the Platte River.
5. PPM - Parts per million is the milligram of solute per liter of
solution, mg/l.

Non-Radioactive Liquid Effluent Disposal - Limiting Conditions for Operation
Applicability
Applies to the release of non-radioactive liquid effluents from
the plant.
Objective
To ensure that the concentration of chemical constituents , quantity,
or temperature of the effluent released is not harmful to the aquatic
organisms of the river to which it is returned, by defining the maximum
allowable concentrations of chemicals, flow, and temperature of the effluent
returned to the receiving stream.
Specification LCO NR 1.1 - Chemical Concentrations - Limiting Conditions
For Operation
The concentration of the specified chemical constituents in the station
non-radioactive liquid effluents at the diversion box to the Goosequill Ditch
shall not exceed the following:
Maximum Concentration
Constituent or Value
Fe 15 ppm
Cu
1 ppm
Zn
5 ppm
Cr."
0.5 ppm
*Cl2 (Total Residual) **0.5 ppm
P (Nalco 345 + Detergents) 14 ppm
*Nalco 321 1 ppm
Nalco 71-D5 10 ppm (as calculated)
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 2300 ppm
pH
6.0 - 9.0
- 4 -
*To be measured in the Goosequill Ditch as it enters the
Jay Thomas Ditch.
**The desired total residual chlorine concentration in the plant
effluent discharge at the point of monitoring is 0.1 ppm or less.
Because of the uncertainties of the interactions of the chlorine
in the effluent discharge path (chlorine demand) a total residual
chlorine concentration of 0.5 ppm or less will be permitted for a
period of 120 days following the start of commercial operation.
After evaluation of the report described in SR NR 1.1, the limiting
condition for operation for total residual chlorine will be
reconsidered.
The normal effluent discharge path shall be to the Goosequill Ditch
and farm pond to the South Platte River. In the event discharge cannot be
made to the Goosequill Ditch (ditch washout , road construction, etc. ) the
alternate discharge path along the slough to the St. Vrain Creek would be
utilized. At such time as discharge could again be made to the Goosequill
Ditch, discharge to the slough would be terminated.
The regenerant backwash effluent from the makeup and polishing demin-
eralizers shall be ponded in lined evaporation ponds. This effluent shall
not be discharged to the St. Vrain Creek.
If one of the above limits is exceeded, immediate corrective action
shall be initiated to re-establish acceptable concentrations or values.
Such corrective actions as may be employed would be to increase, decrease,
or completely terminate a chemical feed; increase , decrease , or possibly
terminate cooling tower blowdown or reduce plant load.
If corrective action does not return the chemical constituent to
acceptable concentration within 24 hours, notification sha] be given the
Director, Region IV, Directorate of Regulatory Operations by telephone
and telegraph, with an explanation of the circumstances and any proposed
further action to permit continued plant operation.
Basis for Specification LCO NR 1.1
The major sources of non-radioactive liquid effluent from the plant
are the two recirculating cooling water systems - circulating water and
service water. The makeup water to these recirculating water systems are
the St. Vrain Creek, the South Platte River, and shallow well sources,
respectively. The water utilized in these systems is treated with various
chemicals to provide for pH control, algae and biological growth control,
and to control the tendency for scale formation on heat transfer surfaces.
Because the systems are recirculating and use mechanical induced draft cooling
towers as a means for heat dissipation, concentration of the natural occuring
dissolved solids is brought about by evaporation in the towers. The only
source of possible trace metal contamination for these systems would be the
heat exchange surfaces and piping, due to corrosive attack by the cooling
water. Corrosion is controlled by maintaining the proper pH level. The
parameters included in the Technical Specification were selected because
they are accepted indicators of water quality, are possibly introduced into
the system due to corrosion, or are introduced because of the particular type
of water treatment used, with the exception of zinc and chromium. Zinc and
chromium are of particular interest from the standpoint of ecological effects ,
and are two metals which are included in the list of parameters for required
monitoring for the utility industry specified in the instructions for filing
for a permit to discharge. Any measured increase in concentrations of metals
such as these will be due entirely to concentration in the cooling tower,
since they are not added in plant processes.
— 6
The limits imposed upon the concentrations of dissolved constituents, total
dissolved solids, and range of pH were determined on the basis of normal
expected operating concentrations and those concentrations which would be
harmful to aquatic organisms in the rivers. The limits for concentrations of
chemical constituents were developed by the applicant in consultation with
his Thorne Ecological Institute consultants, including an environmental
toxicologist who is also head of the Department of Zoology at Colorado
State University. The limits stated in the Technical Specification are less
than those limits published in the literature as being harmful to the aquatic
organisms present in the South Platte River and the St. Vrain Creek. The
operations of the systems, in excess of the limits stated in the Technical
Specification for short periods of time, would not be harmful ecologically
to the streams due to the conservative limits and the averaging effect of
the farm pond. Because the normal path of discharge to the river is through
the Goosequill Ditch and the farm pond, there would be no change in the
salinity of St. Vrain Creek. To account for unusual circumstances, facilities
are provided to discharge blowdown to St. Vrain Creek. The blowdown would be
discharged into a slough which drains into the creek. Using the limits
stated, the impact of the discharge of cooling tower blowdown on total
dissolved solids content of the stream has been analyzed for low stream flows.
Discharge of blowdown, within the prescribed operating limits for total
dissolved solids during minimum stream flow conditions equal to the lowest 7
day flow period observed in the St. Vrain Creek at the site during the period
1960 - 1970, would not cause the criteria for total dissolved solids in streams
as specified in the Colorado Water Quality Standards to be exceeded. Therefore,
it is concluded that monitoring of total dissolved solids content of blowdown,
as required by these Technical Specifications, will be sufficient to ensure
that stream salinity could not be unduly increased because of the discharge of
cooling tower blowdown.
- 7 -
The sampling stations location for determination of effluent discharge
water quality were specified so as to minimize the influence on the analytical
results from the agricultural activities in the immediate region of the
station. The sampling point locations preclude the introduction of chemical
constituents due to field run off, irrigation tail water, fertilizers , etc. .
Sampling at the diversion box also provides a common point of control
for both the normal and alternate discharge paths.
Specification LCO NR 1.2 - Effluent Temperature - Limiting Condition
For Operation
If the effluent temperature at the overflow from the farm pond to the
South Platte River or at the discharge of the slough to St. Vrain Creek exceeds
80°F, and the effluent temperature exceeds the receiving river temperature by
10°F, the blowdown from the main cooling tower will be transferred to the
"cold side".
Basis for Specification LCO NR 1.2
To minimize the thermal effects of the effluent discharge, and as a
result of the past temperature history of the rivers to which the effluent
is eventually discharged, a temperature of 80°F was established as the desired
upper limit for the temperature of the water overflowing from the farm pond
to the South Platte River or discharging from the slough to the St. Vrain Creek.
Specification LCO .NR 1 . 1 - Effluent Quantity - Limiting Condition For Operation
The total quantity of effluent originating as cooling tower blowdown
shall be limited to less than or equal to 3.75 million gallons per day.
If makeup water quality is such that both flow and quality limits
(LCO NR 1.1) cannot be maintained simultaneously, quality limits (LCO NE 1.1)
shall be maintained and flow will be allowed to exceed the limit stated above.
s
Basis for Specification LCO NR 1.3
The total quantity of water to be released as blowdown from the
cooling towers was determined using the average chemical constituency of
the makeup water to the recirculating water systems from the rivers.
- The quantity of water released is limited to minimize the total quantity
of dissolved solids and chemical constituents that are released to the rivers.
Specification LCO NR 1.4 - Discharge From Turbine Building Sump - Limiting
Condition For Operation
The effluent originating in the turbine building sump and the effluent
originating as cooling tower blowdown shall always utilize the same discharge
path to the rivers.
Basis for Specification LCO NR 1.4
Discharging the turbine building sump effluent to the same path used to
discharge the cooling tower blowdown will assure that any peaks in chemical
concentrations originating in the turbine building sump will be greatly diluted
because of the relative magnitudes of the average flows from these sources.
In addition, the farm pond in the normal discharge path to the Goosequill
Ditch will further reduce any potential peaks in chemical concentrations
to near average levels.
- 9 -
Non-Radioactive Effluent Disposal System - Surveillance Requirement
Applicability
Applies to the sampling and analysis for chemical constituent concentration
and temperature monitoring of the non-radioactive effluent discharge from the
plant and temperature monitoring of the rivers to which the effluent is discharged.
Objective
To establish the minimum frequency and type of surveillance to assure
that chemical concentrations and temperatures are within those limits stated
in LCO NR 1.1 and LCO NR 1.2.
Specification SR NR 1.1 - Chemical Concentrations - Surveillance Requirement
Sampling and analysis of the non-radioactive liquid effluent shall be
as follows:
a) If the analysis for constituent concentrations in the non-
` radioactive effluent discharge indicates less than or equal
to 50% of the limit stated in LCO NR 1.1, sampling and analysis
shall be at the frequency of Action Level I of Table NR-l.
b) If the analysis for constituent concentrations in the non-
radioactive effluent discharge indicates greater than 50%
of the limit stated in LCO NR 1.1 for any constituent, the
sampling and analysis for that constituent shall be at the
frequency of Action Level II of Table NR-1 until such time as the
analysis for the constituent decreases or reaches a new equilibrium
value (as defined by four consecutive daily analyses whose
results are within ± 10%) at which time weekly sampling may be
resumed.
- 10 -
c) The method of analysis for the various constituents shall be
as follows:
1. Fe - Organic extraction , Atomic absorption, or colorimetric
2. Cu - Organic extraction, Atomic absorption, or colorimetric
3. Zn - Organic extraction, Atomic absorption, or colorimetric
4. Cr." - Organic extraction, Atomic absorption, or colorimetric
5. Phosphorous - Colorimetric
6. Nalco 321 - Organic extraction and colorimetric
7. Nalco 71-D5 - No test available - Concentration will
be maintained at or below 10 ppm by usage of the chemical
in proportion to the total quantity in the recirculating
water systems.
8. C12 (Total residual) - Orthotolidine Method
r' 9. TDS - Electrical conductivity
10. pH - pH meter
d) The conductivity and pH meters shall be calibrated using standard
solutions weekly.
e) The conversion constant used to convert electrical conductivity
to TDS shall be verified monthly.
During the first 90 days following the start of commercial operation,
samples will be taken from the Goosequill Ditch at the Jay Thomas Ditch
and at the outlet of the farm pond, to determine the residual chlorine
• concentration at the end of each period of chlorination. Within 120 days
following the start of commercial operation, a report shall be submittea
describing the chlorine monitoring program and shall indicate the lowest
practical total residual chlorine concentration in the effluent discharge
path compatible with plant operation.
- 11 -
Basis for Specification SR NR 1.1
The frequency of sampling and analysis, as specified in conjunction
with the "averaging" effect of the farm pond, will provide adequate
protection against gross changes in the constituency of the plant effluent
discharge to the rivers.
The methods of analysis for the various constituents are accepted
standard water chemical laboratory procedures and have been in use for
many years.
The calibration frequency for both the electrical conductivity and
pH meters is adequate to assure proper readings of pH and conductivity
are obtained.
The addition of Nalco 71-D5 presents no ecological problem even though
no test exists to determine its concentration. Nalco (1-D5 is injected at
the same frequency as the Nalco 321 (once per month) as an anti-foaming
agent to a concentration of approximately 5-7 ppm based on relative volumes
of the system and the quantity added. This concentration level is
approximately a decade below the level at which there would be any harmful
effects observed to the aquatic organisms in the rivers , as determined by
laboratory tests.

._ Specification SR NR 1.2 - Temperature Monitoring - Surveillance Requirement
A temperature monitoring program shall be initiated to determine the
thermal effect of the effluent discharge from the station to the South
Platte River and the St. Vrain Creek.
Stream temperatures shall be monitored upstream and downstream of the
effluent discharge point to the streams. Should a temperature monitoring
device become inoperative, immediate action shall be taken to return it to
service and temperatures shall be taken and recorded manually, once/shift,
until the monitoring device is 'returned to service.
The temperature monitoring program will run for five years following
start of commercial operation. At the end of the five year period, the
results of the study will be reviewed as to the requirement for continuing
the monitoring program.
Basis for Specification SR NR 1.2
The temperature monitoring program is designed to determine the thermal
impact of the station effluent discharge on the rivers. The data taken will
be used to confirm the statements made in the applicant's Environmental
Report concerning the station thermal impact on the river.
Specification SR NR 1.3 - Turbine Building Sump - Surveillance Reouirement
The effluent discharged from the Turbine Building Sump shall be measured
and proportionally sampled on a continuous basis. Analysis of the composite
sample shall be made three times per week for the following:
Fe Zn P pH
Cu Cr+6 TDS
No specific limits have been placed on the total quantity or chemical
concentrations of the effluent originating in the turbine building sump
because of the small total quantity expected and the assured dilution of
- 14 -
the effluent afforded by the cooling tower blowdown flow. (See LCO NH 1.4 ) .
Ideally, the concentrations, or values, for those chemicals and parameters
listed above should be no greater than those listed in LCO NR 1.1.
Within 120 days following the start of commercial operation, a report
shall be submitted based on the data collected during the first 90 days
of commercial operation, concerning the total quantity of effluent dis-
charged from the turbine building sump and its average chemical concentrations.
This report shall be used to review the basis of SR NR 1.3 and to determine
if limits on quantity and/or chemical concentrations of the sump effluent
should be included in these Technical Specifications.
Bast!' for Specification SR NR 1.3
The turbine building sump collects liquids from the floor drainage
system in the turbine building. These drains collect those liquids produced
by cleanup operations, equipment drainage for maintenance, etc. , and direct
them to the sump from which they may be pumped to the Goosequill Ditch
or the slough that drains to St. Vrain Creek.
Continuous measurement of flow and sampling and analysis of a composite
sample three times per week will provide information for reporting, as
required in AC NR 1.1.
- 15 -
Ecological Monitoring - Surveillance Requirement
Applicability
Applies to ecological monitoring in the vicinity of the plant.
Objective
To establish requirements for an ecological monitoring program which
will indicate any measurable effects of plant operation on the ecology of
the area surrounding the plant.
Specification SR NR 2.1 - Ecological Monitoring - Surveillance Requirement
An ecological monitoring program shall be conducted in the vicinity of
the plant as follows :
a) The monitoring program will provide for sampling of the following
ecosystem features:
1. Aquatic ecosystems - algae, invertebrates and fish food
habits, artificial substrate monitoring, and fishes.
2. Vegetation - communities , plant species , ecophysiology,
and soils.
3. Terrestrial animals - invertebrates , birds, and mammals,
amphibians and reptiles.
b) A monitoring program shall be conducted for at least five years
following commercial operation.
c) The sampling schedule shall be subject to annual review and
adjustment, as indicated by the results for the previous year.
Basis for Specification SR NR 2.1
Applicant's plans for continuation of its ecological program were
presented in detail in a document titled "Additional Information Regarding
Applicant's Ecological Study," which was submitted to the Directorate of
Licensing with a letter from Applicant dated May 11, 1972.
- 16 -
The document described the ecological inventory and monitoring program being
conducted for Applicant by the Thorne Ecological. Institute. The plans for
studies by the principal investigators in the fields of aquatic ecosystems ,
vegetation, and terrestrial animals were presented. This Technical Specifi-
cation provides for conduct of the ecological monitoring phase of the study
essentially as outlined in the reference document.
The ecological program is divided into three phases. Phase I, conducted
during the period March 1 - May 1, 1972, provided for initial ecological
reconnaissance and development of preliminary plans for the execution of
Phases II and III. Phase II, scheduled for May 1, 1972 to May 1, 1973,
provides for an intensive dynamic base line ecological inventory. The inventory
conducted during Summer, 1972 was planned to be particularly intense in order
to accumulate as much pre-operational reference data as possible. Phase II
also provides for development of a detailed design and specific plan for the
Phase III monitoring program which is the subject of this Technical Specification.
Phase III will commence with plant start-up.
The key aspects of the ecological inventory program for which specific
monitoring programs will be developed are briefly summarized blow. The program
is intended to be flexible and subject to revision as indicated as the program
progresses. The scope of some specific areas has been broadened beyond
the plans presented in the referenced document in response to specific
comments received during the environmental review.
- 17 -
The topic of aquatic ecosystems is divided into four areas:
1. Algae - Phychological studies will consist of field studies and
laboratory studies. Field studies will deal with collection,
identification, description of community types , heavy metal
concentrations, and primary productivity of algae throughout the
year. Seasonal fluctuations will be determined. Laboratory
studies will be aimed at correlating field data and predicting changes
in algae populations under a variety of conditions.
2. Invertebrates and Fish Food Habits - Diversity of macroinvertebrates
will be studied at six stream sampling stations and in the farm pond.
Sampling will be designed to collect , by a standardized procedure,
invertebrates typical of the diverse habitats of the sampling
stations. The zoological literature and limited studies of gut
contents will be used to ascertain the role of each organism in
the food web. Water chemistry and bacteriological analyses will
be considered.
3. Artificial substrate monitoring, - This phase will be directed
toward location of changes in the plant and animal community colonizing
artificial substrata which will be placed upstream and downstream
of discharge points.
4. Fishes - Species present , distribution (including seasonal variations ) ,
information about population dynamics, and food habits will be
investigated. Index techniques will be used to compare one sampling
period with another. Fish samples will be collected and measured.
Representative analyses of stomach contents will be made.
The aquatic ecosystems program will include observations to
evaluate whether aquatic life is damaged by the traveling screens
- 18 -
at the water pumping stations.
The effect of changes in water temperature which may result
from plant shutdown or from changing the discharge of cooling
tower blowdown from the warm side to the cool side will be
investigated.
The topic of vegetation will include consideration of the areas of
communities, plant species , ecophysiology, and soils:
Permanent exclosures constructed in representative communities
of native riparian vegetation and irrigated farmland will be
utilized for collection of biomass samples of vegetation.
Permanent plots will be marked inside and outside exclosures
so that repeated sampling can be done. The presence, abundance,
and distribution of a species in combination with other species
will be obtained.
Taxonomic collections will be made in the major vegetation
types and in exclosures.
Determinations of radiation load in biomass samples will be
made, field observations and aerial photographic methods , using
black and white and color infrared photos will be used in combination
to obtain a basic vegetation map. Individual tree characteristics
along the rivers will be sampled by core boring and counting
growth rings.
Soil characteristics around the plant, including areas of
potential drift from the cooling towers, will be assessed. Investi-
gations will also be made to determine whether blowdown water used
for irrigation affects crop production.
- 19 -
The topic of terrestrial animals is divided into three areas:
1. Invertebrates - Insects and related arthropods will be collected
using various techniques and sampling devices. The objective
will be to locate several insect or other arthropod species common
to the area that are reasonably stable in location and populations
level from year to year. Population fluctuations of these
organisms would then be monitored by appropriate sampling methods .
2. Birds - Counts of birds will be made in standard North American
breeding bird survey plots in dominant vegetative types. Routine
censuses and surveys to be conducted at regular intervals for
comparison will be established.
3. MAmmAls, Reptiles and Amphibians - Different habitats within two
or three concentric zones around the plant will be delineated.
Species presence, distribution, density and diversity will be
determined.
Mammal species will be identified and inventoried by direct
observations, secondary indicators and trapping. Species densities
will be approximated by determination of relative density indices.
Reptilian and amphibian species will be identified and inven-
toried by both diurnal and nocturnal searches of various habitats
and by trapping. Species densities will be estimated from marking -
recapture data.
A limited number of mammals, reptiles , amphibians and inverte-
brates will be sacrificed for chemical analyses.
Ecological monitoring will be continued for a time adequate to demonstrate
whether there is a measurable impact of the plant on the ecology of the
- 20 _
surrounding area. It is expected that ecological monitoring may be
required to some degree for the life of the plant. It is the Applicant 's
opinion that operation of the program for a few years will identify specific
categories for which continued monitoring would be meaningful, and will also
demonstrate that for other categories the potential for measurable effect
is minimal or non-existent, and monitoring in these categories could be
reduced in scope or discontinued. In any event, the basic monitoring
program which is the subject of this technical specification will be
continued for a minimum of five years of plant operation.
Since monitoring requirements cannot be intelligently defined until
an ecological inventory has first been completed, it seems reasonable to establish
goals for development of the program. As stated before, the Phase III monitoring
program which is the subject of this technical specification will be developed
in detail as a part of the Phase II work. It is expected that experience
will indicate that adjustments to the program would be advisable. One
full year of operating data would seem to be logical base on which to
develop the continuation of the monitoring program. Results of the
program will be reviewed following the first year of operation and the
scope of specific elements of the program may be either increased or
decreased as indicated by the results. It is visualized that periodic
review of monitoring data and adaptation of the monitoring program as indicated
by this data will be a continuing process. A provision for annual review
has been included.
