- Attended exit interview 2.
Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on April 22, 1980 with those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 above.
Inspection findings were discussed and the previous enforcement matter regarding erosion control (50-395/77-10-02) was closed out. The inspector also discussed continua-tion of the subject inspections at the licensee's contractor facility
'
regarding the status and management of the V. C. Summer preoperational environmental surveillance and monitoring programs conducted by the con-tractor (paragraph Sb). Following the completion of inspection the inspector contacted a licensee management representative, and informed him j
that inspection disclosed no apparent items of noncompliance or deviations.
Implementation of the programs appeared to be consistent with Construction Permit requirements.

Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings
,
(Closed) Deviation (50-395/77-10-02) Erosion.
Inspection disclosed that corrective actions were implemented to mitigate erosion and institute effective erosion control at the four locations identified in subject notice of deviation. These were no further questions regarding this item.

environment of the land controlled by SCE&G. The program, as defined I
in Section 3.2.6.3 of the Environmental Report, was designed to be fully integrated with overall facility planning, preoperational moni-
!
-toring programs, and other ecological studies that may be implemented j
in.the continued assessment of environmental considerations. At the time of inspection, the program commitment concerning erosion control was in effect.
The program requires construction management to imple-ment effective erosion control measures during plant and transmission line construction which include the following:
(1)? scheduling of clearing and grading operations to minimize the period during which the soil surface is susceptible to erosion; (2) use of temporary or
.
,
permanent ground cover to control erosion during construction and on land areas along access roads and transmission lines. Other program
!
requirements included lake management (i.e., management of Lake Monticello as a multipurpose reservoir - fishery, recreational, etc.),
landscaping, timber and wildlife management.
'
b.
Inspection included discussions with cognizant licensee representatives and a tour of the construction site to assess implementation of erosion
,
control commitments. Particular emphasis however, was directed to verification'and assessment of corrective actions implemented to
- .
mitigate erosion and runoff at the four locations identified in the j
Notice of Deviation (50-395/77-10-02), viz:
(1) equipment laydown d
area due south of Unit 1 plant; (2) L-50 laydown area - uncontrolled runoff to Broad River; (3) spoil storage and borrow areas southwest of
-
Unit 1 plant and parallel to site access road; (4) sector 230KVA Summer-Denny Terrace transmission line parallel to Parr Road.
Inspec-tion disclosed that the subject areas were graded, grassed, and ade-quately' drained to preclude erosion and uncontrolled runoff. This ites was closed out at the exit interview. There were no questions regarding this item.
6.
Implementation of Construction Permit Requirements
a.
Section 2.E.1 of the' Construction Permit required the licensee to conduct preoperational measurements of the physica, chemical and biological environmental parameters to establish baseline conditions
'
upon which possible adverse effects on the station can be evaluated.
'
The major portion of this inspection was confined to a detailed review
and audit of the required preoperational nonradiological programs, j
,
j including management and administrative controls used to assure imple-
mentation of such-programs.

b.-
All of the subject programs are. conducted and coordinated by a licensee l
. contractor. Program inspection was conducted at the contractor's Atlanta facility and included a review of all program procedures, the
,
!
contractor's quality assurance program, and all audits of the preoper-ational-programs conducted by the contractor during the period June,
'1978 through April 25, 1980.
Inspection disclosed that the programs

Preoperational Eavironmental Monitoring Programs The preoperational environmental programs included the following a.
elements:
(1) water quality surveillance, (2) aquatic biological monitoring involving plankton, benthic macroinvertebrates and fish; (3) terrestrial biological monitoring, (4) groundwater monitoring.
'
Inspection included a detailed review of reports, records and data for each program parameter compiled during the period June 1978, through March 1980.
b.
Surface water quality monitoring was conducted on a monthly basis at relected stations in Parr and Monticello Reservoirs, the subimpoundment, and at Neal Shoals Dam. Physical chemical parameters monitored included temperature, conductivity, pH, D0, total solids, alkalinity, and selected nutrients and heavy metals. Review of the above cited data and discussions with contractor representatives verified that the subject monitoring was impleLented as required. There were no questions regarding this item.
Aquatic biological monitoring was confined to the following parameters:
c.
(1) plankton, including zooplankton, phytoplankton, and ichthyoplankton; (2) benthic macroinvertebrates; (3) fish. Fish studies also included stomach analyses on representatives subsamples required by the Thermal Effects Study Plan defined in the NPDES Permit.
Inspection disclosed that all aquatic biological preoperational studies were implemented as required. The inspector had no further questions.
d.
Terrestrial biological monitoring of the nuclear station area was discussed with licensee contractor representatives, and reports, records and data, compiled during the above cited period, were reviewed.
The terrestrial program in progress consisted of the following:
(1) annual aerial surveillance including, multispectral photography conducted during the spring to assess the status of construction and its effect on site erosion and siltation, and selected areas of vege-tation within site environs; (2) quarterly vegetative surveys; (3) avian surveys including water fowl and the interim effects of construction; (4) avian species inventory. Inspection disclosed that a
the subject program was implemented as required. There were no questions regarding this item.
Preoperational Groundwater Monitoring was conducted by licensee con-e.
tractors. Monitoring was conducted on a quarterly basis at eight established observation wells. Review of periodic reports and dis-cussions with licensee contractor representatives confirmed that the subject program was implemented as required. There were no questions regarding this item.
