v 1.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PLAN The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of non-radiological environmental values during operation of the nuclear facility.
The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:
(a)
Verify that the Plant is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as esta311shed by the Final Environmental Statement-Operating License Stage * (FES-OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments.
(b)
Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State, and local requirements for environmental protection.
A l
(c)
Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility construction and operation and of action taken to control those effects.
Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality' matters are regulated by way of Illinois Power's (the licensee s) NPDES permit.

y 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ISSUES In the FES-OL dated May 1982, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of the Clinton Power Station.
Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment.
2.1 Aquatic Issues (a)
Effluent limitations and aquatic monitoring requirements are contained in the effective NPDES permit issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IL0036919).
The NRC will Igly on this agency for regulation of these matters as they involve water quality and aquatic biota.
(b)
One specific aquatic issue raised by the staff con'cerned the potential for the establishment of encephalitic human pathogenic thermophilic amoeba in Clinton Lake after power generation begins.
The NRC will rely on the licensee to conduct monitoring in accordance with the recommendations of the Illinois Department of Public Health as stated in the FES-OL.
2.2 Terrestrial Issues Steam fog from the station's cooling lake has the potential of reducing visibility over nearby roads and bridges.
A fog monitoring program shall be initiated to determine the frequency and density of cooling lake-induced fog which could potentially cause highway safety hazards adjacent to the cooling lake.
The NRC shall rely on the licensee to conduct a fog monitoring program in cooaeration with the Illinois Department of Transportation and local :2ighway safety officials as stated in the FES-OL.

Activities governed by Section i
3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this section.
Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which may affect the environment, the licensee shall i
prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity if the activity has measurable environmental effects which are not confined to onsite areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction.
When the evaluation indicates that guch activity involves an unreviewed environmental i
question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activities and obtain prior approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
When such activity involves a change in the EPP, such activity and change to the EPP may be implemented only in l
accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in i
Section 5.3 of this EPP.
A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns (1) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES-OL as modified by staff's testimony to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, supplements to the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level or (3) a matter not previously reviewed and i
i i
This provision does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

September 29, 1986 APPENDIX C ANTITRUST CONDITIONS FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-55 Illinois Power Company (IP) is subject to the following antitrust conditions:
(1) Definitions t
(1)(a)
" Licensee" means IP and includes each present or future wholly-owned subsidiary of IP and any successor to it; (1)(b)
" Neighboring electric system" means (i) a financially responsible business corporation, not-for-profit corpo-ration, rural electric cooperative, municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of Illinois, company, association, joint stock company, finn, partnership, or person owning or operating, or proposing bona fidely and in good faith to own or operate, facilities for the 4
generation, transmission or distribution of electricity 1
for bulk power supply, (ii) whose facilities are or will be located in the State of Illinois, (iii) whose facilities are interconnected, or are proposed to be interconnected, for the purpose of carrying out one or more of the transactions referred to herein with facili-tiesoftheLicensee(providedthatany)proposedinter-connection shall be lawful and feasible, and (iv) which is or will be a public utility under the laws of the State of Illinois or the Federal Power Act and is or will be providing electric service under a contract or rate schedule on file with and subject to the regulation of the Illinois Comerce Comission or the Federal Power Comission. The requirement that a neighboring electric system shall be a public utility does not apply to a rural electric cooperative or a municipal corporation but will apply to a rural electric cooperative or a municipal corporation if at a future date it is included within the definition of "public utility" under the Illinois Public Utilities Act or under a similar act.
(The definition of neighboring electric system includes systems
.which meet the above requirements either now or in the future.);
4 d
(1)(c)
" Costs" means all operating and maintenance expenses, capital costs and a reasonable return on investment
~
which are properly applicable to the particular transaction and the facilities involved in the transaction; (1)(d)
" Neighboring entity" means a neighboring electric system owning or operating, or proposing bona fidely and in good faith to own or operate, facilities for the generation of electricity for bulk power supply; (2) The broad purposes of any interchange or other arrangement for bulk power supply transactions between the Licensee and a neighboring electric system are to improve the reliability and quality of i
service, to avoid the duplication of facilities, and to minimize costs. Any such arrangements will involve planning by the parties and should be technically and economically feasible and practical.
The arrangement should also be reciprocal as nearly as may be although it is recognized that, in any particular arrangement, the benefits may not be equal or identical for each party and that a smaller electric system may realize benefits which are greater than those realized by a larger system. No party should be obligated to enter into an arrangement if it would realize no net benefits from the arrangement, or if the arrangement would result in net burdens to the party. The policies herein expressed cannot be implemented unilaterally by the Licensee.
If an arrangement between the licensee and a neighboring electric system is to be successful and is to operate in the public interest, it must be negotiated and performed in good faith and with full cooperation by the parties to it. No party should capriciously reject a proposal submitted by another party and the Licensee and neighboring electric systemt should giveareasonable consideration i
i to proposals made by each other; (3) The Licensee will interconnect with any neighboring entity in order that the parties may seek and realize all benefits practicable to be effected through the coordination and development of their respective systems and in carrying out various interconnection services and transactions. The Licensee will assist to the fullest extent feasible any neighboring entity in the coordination of reserves through the sale and purchase of emergency energy and mainte'1ance power upon tems that will provide for the full compensation of the Licensee's costs. No party shall be required to provide emergency energy or maintenance power l
if to do so will impair the supplying party's ability to render adequate l
and reliable service to its customers or to discharge its prior comit-ments, if any, to other electric systems.
(4) The Licensee and the neighboring entity shall each provide sufficient capacity (which may include fim contracted-for-capacity) in its system to enable it to carry its planned-for-peak demand plus an adequate reserve. An adequate minimum reserve requirement shall be mutually determined from time to time as a percentage of planned-for-peak demand i
l
y i
(unless other wise agreed) and shall take into account such reserve criteria as the nature of the respective systems and planned-for-peak demand required in order to assure reliability of service and an equitable sharing of reserve responsibility. Each party shall provide such amount of spinning reserve as shall avoid the imposition of an unreasonable demand on the system of the other party. However, such spinning reserve requirement shall not exceed the minimum installed reserve requirement.
If over a reasonable period, a party has failed i
to deliver emergency energy, or if a party has appeared to make excessive calls for emergency energy, the parties shall jointly study the matter for the purpose of detemining the adequacy or inadequacy of the reserve generating capacity and transmission facilities being provided to meet the requirements of the interconnected systems and of determining the manner of correcting any deficiencies; (5) The agreement for the interchange arrangement between the Licensee and a neighboring entity will not include restrictive provisions which would preclude a party from engaging in interconnection and coordination j
arrangements with others, but may include appropriate provisions to assure (1) that the Licensee receives adequate notice of such additional interconnection or coordination, (ii) that the parties will jointly l
consider and agree upon such measures, if any, as are reasonably necessary to protect the reliability of the interconnected systems and to prevent undue burdens from being imposed on any system, and (iii) that the Licensee.will_Je fully compensated for its costs. Good industry practice as developed in the area from time to time (if not unreasonably restrictive) will satisfy this provision; (6)
Interconnections will be available for a neighboring electric system on any of the Licensee's installed transmission and subtransmission facilities if the proposed interconnection is technically and economically feasible and the Licensee is fully compensated for its costs.
Interconnections will not be limited to low voltages when higher voltages are available from the Licensee's installed facilities in the area where the interconnection is desired. Control a'nd telemetering facilities shall be provided as required for the safety and reliability of the interconnected systens; (7) The Licensee will afford an opportunity to participate to any neighboring electric system that makes a timely request therefor in the ownership of, or purchase of unit participation power from, Clinton Power Station Unit 1, and any additional nuclear generating unit which the Licensee may construct, own, and operate and which in the application filed with the Consnission, or any successor agency, is scheduled for consnercial operation prior to January 1,1969, to a reasonable extent and on reasonable tems and conditions and on a basis that will fully compensate the Licensee for its costs incurred and to be incurred and that will not adversely affect the financing of such power station. The request shall be deemed timely with respect to Clinton Power
4-Station Unit 1, if received by June 30, 1974, and with respect to any additional generating unit if received within a reasonable period of time from a planning and operating standpoint after the public announcement by the Licensee of the proposed installation of any such unit. As a part of any arrangement that may be reached with respect to such participation, the Licensee will interconnect with and deliver any power. to which the neighboring electric system may be entitled under such arrangement at a delivery point or points on the Licensee's system on a basis that will fully compensate
~
the Licensee for its costs; t
(8) The Licensee will sell bulk power to any neighboring electric system in accordance with rates,.tems and conditions which fully compensate the Licensee for its costs, and which do not restrict use or resale i
except as may be necessary to protect the reliability of the Licensee's system, and as are accepted or approved by the appropriate regulatory body or bodies. The Licensee shall not be required to make any such sale if the Licensee does,not have available sufficient generation to provide the requested service or if the sale would impair the Licensee's ability to render adequate and reliable service to its customers or to discharge its prior commitments, if any, to other electric systems; (9) The Licensee will work with neighboring electric systems to facilitate the exchange of bulk power by transmission over its transmission facilities between or among two or more neighboring electric systems and between any neighboring electric system and any other electric system engaging in bulk power supply outside the Licensee's service area between whose facilities the Licensee's transmission lines and other transmission lines would form a continuous electrical path, I
provided that -(i) pemission to utilize such other transmission lines has been obtained by the proponent of the arrangement, and (ii) the arrangements reasonably can be accomodated from a functional and technical standpoint.
Such transmission shall be on terms that fully compensate the Licensee for its costs. Any neighboring electric system requesting such transmission arrangements shall give veasonable advance notice of its schedule and requirements. The Licensee shall not be required to enter into any arrangement which would impair system reliability or emergency transmission capacity, it being recognized that i
while some transmission facilities may be operated fully loaded, other i
transmission facilities may be for emergency use and operated either
{
unloaded or partially loaded; (10) The Licensee shall include in its planning and construction programs sufficient transmission capacity as required for the transactions i
referred to in paragraph (9), provided any neighboring electric system gives the Licensee sufficient advance notice as may be necessary to accomodate its requirements from a functional and j
technical standpoint and that such neighboring electric system fully, compensates the Licensee for its costs. The Licensee shall not be required to construct transmission facilities if it finds construction of such facilities infeasible, or if its costs in connection therewith would exceed its benefits therefrom, or if it i
finds such facilities would impair system reliability or emergency transmission capacity;
