As required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (TN0020168) for operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN), this report is a composite evaluation of nonradiological preoperational aquatic monitoring conducted from 1973 through 1979 and from 1982 through 1985. Baseline biological, physical, and water quality conditions in Chickamauga Reservoir in the vicinity of WBN are described. The following biological components are included: plankton, periphyton, benthic macroinvertebrates, fish eggs and larvae, and juvenile and adult fish. Because Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) also is located on Chickamauga Reservoir, results of various aspects of preoperational and operational monitoring for SQN are integrated in this report to provide a more comprehensive assessment of reservoir-wide conditions.
