been made from March 1976 through July 1979. Each environmental report lists problem areas noted and corrective action taken.

Aquatic Monitoring The surface water quality monitoring program is designed to identify those chemical effluents which if released during construction activities, may inhibit aquatic organisms and in addition to monitor the discharge flow from the seven site settling ponds. Surface water sampling locations include:
below the outfall of the sewage treatment plant on Mud Creek; above and below the construction crossings on Logan Creek; and above and below the intake and di charge structure and the barge slip on the Missouri River.
Ground water levels are measured quarterly at several well locations on site to assure that adverse draw-down effects do not occur during construction.
Surface water quality asd ground water level monitoring records submitted by the licensee's consultant contractor were reviewed from March 1978 through July 1979. No discrepancies were noted.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were noted in the Environmental Program.
