1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of nonradiological -
environmental values during operation of the nuclear facility. The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:
(1)
Verify that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as j
established by the Final Environmental Statements (FES) and other NRC environmentalimpact assessments.
(2)
Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State and local requirements for environmental potection.
(3)
Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility construction and
]
operation and of actions taken to control those effects.
Environmental concerns identified in the FES which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the Final Environmental Statements dated October,1972 and March,1978, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP) Units 1 and 2. Certain environmental issues were identified which required study, or license conditions to resolve concerns and assure adequate protection of the environment.
2.1 Aquatic Issues Initial post-operational studies to evaluate impacts of station intake and discharge effects are complete. No additional aquatic monitoring requirements are w-=y.
2.2 TerrestrialIssues Initial post-operational studies to evaluate terrestrial impacts are complete. No additional l
terrestrial studies or monitoring requirements are necessary, HATCH - UNITS 1 AND 2 2-1 Amendment No. 199 Amendment No. 140

3.0 Consisteney Requirements i
i 3.1 Plant Design and Operation 1
The licensee may make changes in plant design or operation or perform tests or j
experiment:, affecting the environment provided that such activities do not involve an unreviewed environmental question and do not involve a change in the EPP*. Changes in j
plant design or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do not affect the
)
environment are not subject to the requirements of this EPP. Activitici governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this Section.
4 Before engaging in additional construction or oMonal activities which may significantly l
affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation j
of such activity. Activities are excluded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environmental effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction. When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall j
provide written evaluation of such activity and obtainprior NRC approval. When such activity involves a change in the EPP, such activity and change to the EPP may be j
implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in j
Section 5.3 of this EPP.
i A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question ifit concerns: (1) a matter which may result in a signi6 cant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES, i
environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing j
Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level; or (3) a matter, not i
previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, l
which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.
)
The licensee shall maintain records of changes in plant design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These records shallinclude written evaluations which provide bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question or constitute a decrease in the i
effectiveness of the EPP to meet the objectives specified in Secti u 1.0. The licensee shall include as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief l
descriptions, analyzes, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests and experiments.
j i
- This provision does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

If a pennit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is appealed and stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.
The licensee shall notify the NRC of changes to the effective NPDES Permit proposed by the licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the same time it is n.bmitted to the permitting agency. The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES Permit at the same time the application is submitted to the permitting agency.
3.3 Changes Required for Compliance with Other Environmental Regulations Changes in plant design or operation and performance of tests or experiments which are required to achieve compliance with other Federal, State, and local environmental regulations are not subject to the requirements of Section 3.1.
