Administrative Controls t

Section 5.0 of Appendix B Technical Specifications charges the a.

licensee with responsibility for establishment, execution and review of programs to administer the Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS).

The section further requires detailed written operating procedures and the establishment of organiza-j tional and administrative procedures that will provide for h

i management review and independent audit functions to assure implementation of the ETS. The inspector reviewed organizational responsibility for implementation of environmental monitoring, surveillance, and special studies programs defined in Appendix B Technical Specifications. Review of FPC Corporate Environmental i

Department functions and detailed df.scussions with licensee representatives disclosed that program responsibilities appeared consistent with those requirements defined in the ETS.

b.

Appendix B Technical Specification 5.3 requires the licensee to conduct an annual audic which includes the following:

(1)

implementation of environmental monitoring and surveillance programs imposed by the Environmental Specifications; (2)

conformance to procedures and Environmental Technical Speci-fication requirements; (3) contractor operations. The inspector reviewed the licensee's Audit Report No. QP-139. The audit was conducted on September 23, 1977.

Inspection disclosed that the auditors failed to audit implementacion of monitoring and surveillance, conformance of such programs to procedures and technical specification requirements, and contractor activities involved in monitoring and special study requirements.

The inspector discusced these findings with licensee represent-

~

atives.

The inspector informed licensee representatives that failure to inplement audit requirements imposed by the subject specification constituted an item of noncompliance. A licensee representative stated that audit requirements would be reviewed

{

and that corrective actions would be determined.

The inspector reviewed detail written procedures for non-

'.

c.

radiological monitoring and surveillance requirements defined

!

in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of Appendix B Specifications. Assessment of compliance with procedural requirements defined in Appendix 3 disclosed the following findings:

(1) the licensee provided no procedure for Specification 2.1.1 (maximum condenser AT);

(2) failure to review and approve procedures for Specifica-tions 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3 and 3.1.5 (benthos, marsh grass, intake screens impingement, general ecological survey, and waste water treatment system respectively). The latter surveillances and those in Section 4.0 were conducted by licensee contractors and consultants. The inspector discussed

these findings with licensee representatives and informed them that failure to implement procedural requirements constituted an item of noncompliance. A licensee representative stated that these findings would be reviewed and appropriate correc-tive actions would be implemented.

Chemical Industrial Waste Water Treatment System Appendix B Technical Specification 3.1.5 requires monthly monitoring of the two wastewater ponds and adjacent test wells 1, 4 and 5 for i

i Tu and selected chemical parameters (viz., nutrients dissolved solids and trace metals).

Review and audit of monthly analytical

.'

data disclosed that the subject requirement was implemented as defined. The inspector also reviewed and audited analytical and analytical quality control proced".es veilized in implementing the subject requirement. There were no suestions regarding this item.

6.

Environmental Surveillance

i Implementation of Appendix B Technical Specifications 3.1.1 through 3.1.4 during the period December 1976 through November 19, 1977, was audited by the inspector. Operational nonrad surveillance studies included benthos, marsh grass (biomass. productivity, respiration), intake screens impingement, and general ecological survey, respectively.

Inspection disclosed that all studies were implemented as required including surveillance frequency, data

-

reduction and analysis, and reporting. There were no questions regarding this matter.

7.

Special Surveillance Research The inspector audited implementation of special surveillance studies defined in Appendix B Technical Specifications 4.1 through 4.3 for the period December 1976 through November 1977.

The studies included i

thermal plume determinations during Unit 3 operation, intake velocity

]

determinations, and erosion in the discharge system respectively.

Inspection disclosed that the subject specifications were implemented

'

as required. There were no questions regarding this item.

8.

Thermal Discharge and AT Monitoring The inspector audited implementation of continous monitoring of thermal discharge and condenser AT (ETS-2.1.1, 2.1.2) for the

period December 1976 through November 1977.

Inspection included audit of daily temperature summaries, and discussions with cognizant licensee representatives.

Inspection disclosed that the subject specifications were implemented as required.

'

all nonrad events reported to NRC during the period February 1977 through December 22, 1977. The reportable events included the following:

(1) fish impingement - ETS-3.1; (2) thermal discharge -

ETS 2.1.2; (3) thermal plume verification studies. Inspection disclosed that in all cases, appropriate corrective actions were implemented, and efforts to preclude recurrences were taken. These events have been closed out.

There were no furtherquestions regarding these items.
