Egoort Details The facility was being maintained in preparation for termination of the construction permit (CP) and for transfer of the facility to the Satsop Redevelopment Project (SRP). Further, the CP holder's activities are being directed to ensure that all applicable regulatory requirements are satisfied and will continue to be satisfied after transfer of the facility.
1. Plans for the Site a. Scope From discussions and record review, the inspectors determined whether the plans for site transfer were acceptable for CP termination.
b. Observations and Findings The CP holder is finalizing an agreement to transfer the facility after the NRC CP is terminated. The agreement is planned to be completed in December 1998. The current agreement is to maintain the necessary functions (e.g., fire protection, q
lighting, access control, etc.) to ensure continued safety.
,
Under the agreement,22 acres (with an option for an additional 20 acres) are to be maintained under the ownership of the CP holder for the combustion turbine project.
This will be regulated by the Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC).
Currently, the agreement is to transfer the remainder of the site to the SRP after the CP is terminated. The SRP is an inter-local organization consisting of Grays Harbor County, Port of Grays Harbor, and Grays Harbor Public Utility District. Selected buildings, structures and facilities will be stabilized and transferred to the SRP The
,
remaining buildings, structures and facilities will be removed or demolished by the CP holder. The SRP indicated that the transferred portion of the site will be J
maintained in accordance with applicable county and State requirements.
j l
To provide additional, generalinformation on current site status, the CP holder plans to send the NRC a copy of the Scope of the Restoration Project agreement signed in May 1998. However, the CP holder indicated that the minor details could change on this Scope of the Restoration Project and the NRC will be informed of significant changes.
c. Conclusions The site is to be maintained in a safe condition by the CP holder until the CP is j
terminated. Also, regulatory responsibilities once the CP is terminated were understood.

l 2. Sources, Byproduct and Special Nuclear Materials i
a. Scope The inspectors determined if possession of source, byproduct or special nuclear materials was controlled as authorized.
b. Observations and Findings The inspectors reviewed records to verify the disposition of the sealed neutron sources for this facility. By letter dated September 19,1984, the CP holder requested that the sealed neutron sources be shipped to their Washington Nuclear Project (WNP) Unit 2 facility under the authorization of the license for that facility.
The acceptability of that transfer was confirmed by CP holder letter dated September 18,1984, to the NRC, and reconfirmed by letter dated February 13, 1987. The inspectors verified that possession was authorized under the WNP Unit 2 license. Further, observation of site facilities found no source, byproduct or special nuclear material at the facility.
c. Conclusion No source, byproduct or special nuclear material was at the facility under the authorization of the CP.
3. Site Controls a.
Scope The inspectors determined whether site controls were acceptably maintained for CP conditions, b. Observations and Findings The inspectors observed selected portions of the Ranney wells, barge slip, cooling towers, containment, auxiliary, warehouse and other site buildings. These facilities include all the remaining Unit 5 structures that have been subsumed in the Unit 3 CP authorization. The inspectors observed security was consistent with CP conditions.
The inspectors also observed that additional barriers to control access had been added since the last NRC site visit. The inspectors observed that erosion controls were being maintained. The inspectors observed that lighting and access controlin the buildings had ensured personnel safety. Further, the inspectors observed that fire protection controls were being maintained consistent with the facility condition.
I'
c. Conclusions The facilities were being maintained in a stable, safe condition.
