A. PURPOSE OF THE INDEX

Under the proposed action in this DEIS, the owners of Bowline Point, Indian Point Units 2 and 3, and Roseton will operate their respective power plants to assure levels of protection for Hudson River fishes at least equal to the levels ensured by the 198 1 and 1987 SPDES permits on average for five taxa (striped bass, white perch, Atlantic tomcod, bay anchovy, and river herring) during the 1 0-year period from 200 1 through 20 10. The 1981 and 1987 SPDES permits did not specifL levels of fish protection. Rather, they stipulated outages and flow limits during certain months. Therefore, an index of fish protection was developed for this DEIS to: 1) convert the outage days and flow limits into equivalent (target) levels of fish protection and 2) create an accounting system for meeting those target levels.

B. DESClpIPTION OF THE INDEX i

I . DeJnifion of Fish Protection

Fish protection, for the index, is defined as a reduction in the conditional mortality rate (CMR) due to entrainment of fish. Entrainment CMR is the probability of fish dying from passage through the cooling water system of a power plant. It is expressed as the fractional reduction in the number of fish in the Hudson River at the end of the first year of life.

2, Selection of the Fish Taxa in the Index

The five taxa of fish included in the index are intended to represent the fish community susceptible to entrainment. The taxa were jointly selected by technical staffs representing the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Hudson River utilities, Natural Resources Defense Council, Scenic Hudson, and Riverkeeper. Collectively, these taxa cover the entire 32-week period of entrainment, Le., from week 8 (late February) through week 39 (mid September).

3. Derivation of The Target Levels of Fish Protection

The target levels of fish protection are based on both the outages and flows stipulated by the 198 1 and 1987 SPDES permits over the 10-year period beginning in May 198 1. The 198 I and 1987 SPDES permits stipulated that the total number of unit outage days to be taken were:

0

0

42 each year on average at Indian Point between May 10 and August 10. 30 days each year at Bowline and Roseton between May 15 and June 30 3 1 days each year at Bowline in July.

The flows stipulated in the SPDES permits (Table IV-1) for Bowline and Roseton were the same as the flows required to efficiently operate these plants. However, the flows stipulated in the SPDES permit for Indian Point were below those required for efficient operation at full power. Therefore, the target level for Indian Point includes fish protection associated with the lower-than-efficient flows stipulated in its SPDES permit as well as fish protection associated with outages.

The target levels of fish protection are expressed as the annual number of fish protection points (FPP) summed over 10 years. The annual FPP number was determined using the equations:

where

CMR,&,, = the weekly entrainment G M R for a taxon at efficient flow and full power, using estimated through-plant mortality rates

EZFZowwd =the average flow for the week required to operate the station at maximum efficiency and fbll power during 2-unit operation;

PI Flow-k =the average flow for the week allowed under the 198 1 and 1987 SPDES permits during 1-unit operation ;

P Z F l o u l , ~ =the average flow for the week allowed under the 198 1 and 1987 SPDES pesmits during 2-uxGt operation;

DWed = the number of days in a week that are within the specified outage period under the 1981 and 1987 SPDES permits and during which only 1 unit is operating.

equals the number of outage days stipulated under the 198 1 and 1987 SPDES C D M W&

pemi ts.

Weekly entrainment CMRs were estimated using a modified Empirical Transport Model (See DEIS Appendix VI. 1 .A). The entrainment CMRs were based on spatial and temporal distribution data for the years 199 1 through 1997 because these years are more likely to represent future conditions than previous years (See DEIS Section V).

For calculating the annual FPPo,,~,, the outage days stipulated in the 198 1 and 1987 SPDES permits were assigned to weeks, within their associated outage period, that had the lowest fish protection point values, totaled across taxa. Week 1 is defined as the first week in January with a Monday. The starting date of week 1 can vary from January 1 through January 7. For the index, January 4 was selected as the starting date for week 1 because it is midway between January 1 and January 7.

The fish protection index accords greater importance to those weeks that have a higher total entrainment C M R value, regardless of the contribution of individual taxa. Thus, it is intended to provide greater protection for those taxa that make a greater contribution to the total entrainment CMR.

4. The Target Level of Fish Protection by Plant

a. Indian Point

The 42 unit outage days each year on average stipulated for Indian Point equal 6 weeks. Weeks 19 through 32 occur partly or completely within the outage period of May 10 through August 10 for Indian Point. Of those weeks, the six with the lowest total FPP potential are weeks 19,20,29,30,31, and 32 (Appendix Table IV-2. However, only two days in week 32 fall within the May 10 through August 10 period. Therefore, five days are needed &om the week with the next lowest total FPP total (week 21). The total number of fish protection points for a 6-week, 1-unit outage at Indian Point based on weeks 19,20,21,29, 30,31, and 32 is 37.6.

The potential FPPs totaled across all weeks and taxa for both Indian Point units is 527.40 using efficient flows and 502.89 using SPDES permit flows. The difference, 24.5, represents the fish protection points afforded by the SPDES permit flows.

The annual number of fish protection points for outages (37.6) plus those for SPDES permit flows (24.5), result in a target level of fish protection for Indian Point of 621 over the 10-year period &om 2001 through 2010, Le., an average of 62.1 fish protection points per year.

The 1981 and 1987 SPDES permits stipulated that a minimum of 20 outage weeks shall have been taken at the end of four years, i.e., 83% of the 24 outage weeks that would be taken if an average of 6 outage weeks were taken over the four years, and that a minimum. of 45 outage weeks shall have been taken at the end of eight years, i.e., 94% of the 48 outage weeks that would be taken if an average of 6 outage weeks were taken over the eight years. Therefore, the index of fish protection at Indian Point will be at least 206 (4 x 62.1 x 0.83) at the end of four years and at least 467 (8 x 62.1 x 0.94) at the end of eight years.

b. Bowline

The 30 unit outage days each year stipulated for Bowline between May 15 and June 30 require four full weeks and two days from a fifth week. Weeks 19 through 26 occur partly or totally within the outage period of May 15 through June 30. Of those weeks, the five with the lowest total potential FPP are weeks 19 through 23 (Appendix Table IV-3). However, only two days from week 19 fall within the May 15 through June 30 period. Therefore, the two days from week 19 plus the 28 days from weeks 20 through 23, equal 30 days. The total number of fish protection points for a 30-day, 1-unit outage at Bowline based on weeks 19 through 23 is 7.68.

The 3 1 unit outage days each year stipulated for Bowline in July require four fill weeks and three days &om a fifth week. Weeks 26 through 30 occur partly or totally within July. Four days from week 26,21 days from weeks 27 through 29, and 6 days from week 30 equal 31 days. The total number of fish protection points for a 3 1-day, 1-unit outage at Bowline based on weeks 26 through 30 is 14.42.

The annual number of fish protection points for a 30-day outage between May 15 and June 30 (7.68) plus those for a 31-day outage in July (14.42), result in a target level of fish protection for Bowline of 221 over the 10-yeas period from 2001 through 2010, i.e., 22.1 fish protection points per year.

e. Roseton

The 30 unit outage days each year stipulated for Roseton between May 15 and June 30 require four full weeks and two days from a fifth week. Weeks 19 through 26 occu partly or totally within the outage period of May 15 through June 30. Of those weeks, the five with the lowest total potential FPP are weeks 19,23,24,25, and 26 (Appendix Table IV-4). However, only two days from week 19 fall within the May 15 through June 30 period. Therefore, four days are needed from week with the next lowest potential FPP (week 22). The total number of fish protection points for a 30-day, 1-unit outage at Roseton based on weeks 19,22,23,24,25, and 26 is 17.59. The target level of fish protection for Roseton is 175.9 over the lO-year period &om 2001 through 2010.

RE: State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits for Bowline Point, Indian Point 2 & 3, and Roseton Steam Electric Generating Stations

Dear Ms. Rusanowsky, i

Lawler, Matusky & Skelly Engineers LLP (LMS) is conducting an inventory of the natural

resources in the vicinity of Roseton, Indian Point Units 2 and 3, and Bowline power plants. The plants are

located in Orange, Rockland and Westchester Counties. The areas of study are identified on the enclosed

topographic US. Geological Survey (USGS) maps labeled the following: Map 1: Location of the Roseton

Generating Station -USGS quadrangle map, Wappingers Falls, W, Map 2: Location of the Indian Point

Generating Station - USGS quadrangle map, Peekskill, Ny; and Map 3: Location of the Bowline Point

Generating Station - USGS quadrangle map, Haverstraw, W.

We ask you to please provide us with any information on any rare or significant species and

communities in the indicated area of study.

If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at (914) 735-8300 Ext.294. Thank

you very much for your assistance.

Dear Ms. Sprague:

We have reviewed the New York Natural Heritage Program files with respect to your recent request for biological information concerning the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits for Bowline Point, Indian Point 2 and 3, and Roseton Steam Electric Generating Stations, sites as as indicated on your enclosed maps, located in the Towns of Newburgh, Haverstraw and Cortlandt, Counties of Orange, Rockland and Westchester.

Enclosed is a computer printout covering the area you requested to be reviewed by our staff. The information contained in this report is considered sensitive and may not be released to the public without permission fkom the New York Natural Heritage Program.

Your project location is within, or adjacent to, a designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat. This habitat is part of New York State's Coastal Management Program (CMP), which is administered by the N Y S Department of State @OS). Projects which may impact the habitat are reviewed by DOS for consistency with the CMP. For more information regarding this designated habitat and applicable consistency review requirements, please contact:

Greg Capobianco or Steven C. Resler - (51 8) 474-6000 N Y S Department of State Division of Coastal Resources and Waterfkont Revitalization 162 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 1223 1

Our files are continually growing as new habitats and occurrences of rare species and communities are discovered. In most cases, sitespecific or comprehensive surveys for plant and animal occurrences have not been conducted. For these reasons, we can only provide data which have been assembled from OUT files. We cannot provide a definitive statement on the presence or absence of species, habitats or natural communities. This Wormation should for on-site surveys that may be required for environmental assessment.

This response applies only to known occurrences of rare animals, plants, natural communities andor significant wildlife habitats. Please contact the appropriate N Y S DEC Regional Oflice, Division of Environmental Permits, at the address enclosed for information regarding any regulated areas or permits that may be required (e.g., regulated wetlands) under State Law.

If this proposed project is still active one year from now we recommend that you contact us again so that we can update this response.

Dear Ms. Sprague:

This responds to your letter of March 9, 1999, requesting information on the presence of endangered or threatened species in the vicinity of the following locations:

1. The Roseton Steam Electric Generating Station in the Town of Newburgh, Ulster County, New York.

2. The Indian Point Steam Electric Generating Station, Units 2 & 3, in the Town of Peekskill, Putam County, New York.

3. The Bowline Steam Electric Generating Station in the Town of Haverstraw, Rockland County, New York.

The information will be used in application for New York State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits for the above steam electric generating stations.

Except for occasional transient individuals, no Federally listed or proposed endangered or threatened species under our jurisdiction are hown to exist in the respective project impact areas. Therefore, no Biological Assessment or M e r Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act (87 Stat. 884, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is required with the US. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Should project plans change, or if additional information on listed or proposed species becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered.

The above comments pertaining to endangered species under our jurisdiction are provided pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. This response does not preclude additional Service comments under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act or other legislation.

F e d d y listed endangered and threatened marine species may be found near the respective project areas. These species are under the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service. You should contact Mr. Stanley Gorski, Habitat and Protected Resources Division, &ea Coordinator, National Marhe Fisheries Service, James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory, 74 Magruder Road, Highlands, NJ 07732, for additional information (telephone: [908] 872-3037).

Waste Streams

IV-4. INDIAN POINT NON-COOLING WATER WASTE STREAMS

OOlB - Steam Generator Blowdown

Water fiom the nuclear steam generator containing various impurities - e.g., chlorides, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, and some organic acids. This water is sent to a flash tank where it is cooled before release to the river.

OOlC and OOlD - Primary Wastes

These are intermittent discharges of treated (filtratiodion exchange) primary (nuclear system) wastewater. The source of the waste is generally primary wastewater and floor drams fkom the primary side of the plant. The discharged water in these streams may contain boron and low ppb concentrations of lithium, chromium, and other ionic impurities. These wastes are treated by filtration and ion exchange systems prior to their discharge .

OOlE - Make-up Ion Exchange Plant Wastes

The ion exchange plants treat feedwater for the steam generators by removing ionic impurities. These wastes consist of acidic (H2S04) and caustic (NaOH) rinse wastes and rinse water fiom the cation and anion resin regenerations. The regeneration wastes are neutralized prior to discharge.

OOlG - Service Boiler Blowdown

The house service boilers supply steam for heating and auxiliary equipment. Blowdown of the boilers is necessary to prevent the accumulation of solids. This is a continuous discharge when a service boiler is in operation.

001 J - Secondary Floor Drains

This is typically a continuous discharge of city water, river water, and condensate kom floor drains on the secondary side of the plant. There are no chemicals added or disposed

~ ~ e ~ ~ E I ~ ~ - A ~ ~ V - B - 2 - 2 B.2.2-1 Indian Point Non-Cooting Water Waste Streams

of through this outfall. This discharge is monitored to ensure that there is no visible oil sheen present.

001K - Unit 1 & 2 Make-up Filter Backwash

This is an intermittent discharge. City water is treated by carbon filters and sand filters before it goes through the ion exchange plant (see 001E). Each of the two carbon filters and the two sand filters are backwashed and rinsed to the filter backwash pit, which overflows to the discharge canal. Carbon filters remove raw water impurities and sand filters remove flocculated (aluminum sulfate) raw water impurities.

OOlL - Unit 3 High and Low Total Dissolved Solids Tank (TDS)

TDS tank water has been used to either flush, rinse, or regenerate resin for the Condensate Polisher Facility (CPF), which pretreates feedwater for the steam generators by removing ionic impurities, and also acts as a filtration device. TDS water is first pumped to sumps, and then pumped to one of two holding tanks. It contains trace levels of boron, iron, copper, and fluorides.
