1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 Project Scope This Project Instruction provides guidelines for compilation of a geosciences database for an Early Site Permit Application for a potential new nuclear power plant to be located at the site of the existing Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS). The database will be formed from compiling and evaluating existing relevant data that may influence the seismic design of the proposed nuclear power plant. The sources of data will include, but not be limited to the existing UFSAR, FER, and NRC Safety Evaluation Report for the existing facility; published articles and maps from professional journals and periodicals; and unpublished reports, data, and maps from previous consultant reports, professional publications, or ongoing investigations.
Additional geological mapping will be conducted to document in more detail the distribution, extent and structure of geological units in the immediate site (1.6 km), site area (8 km), site vicinity (40 km), and site region (320 km).
These investigations will provide the data needed to assess the potential for permanent ground deformation at the site and to assess the suitability of the seismic source models used in development of the EPRI, LLNL, and USGS Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analyses.
1.2 Responsibilities William Lettis & Associates (WLA) will be responsible for compiling and evaluating the Geosciences database. The WLA Project Manager will provide overall direction of the data compilation. He will supervise a staff of Senior and Staff geologists.

, page 6 of 9 Field Data Sheets SOIL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES Hammer Samples:
When hammer sampling, the following data should be recorded:
Delivery system: Cat-head hammer Automatic trip hammer Downhole hammer Weight/drop: ASTM Standard is 140 lb w/30" drop Sampler size:
SPT Sampler: 20-in. O.D., 1.375-in. I.D. split-spoon sampler, may need brass liners 2.5-inch O.D., 2.0-inch I.D. split-spoon sampler with 1 or 6-inch long brass ring liners 3.0-in. O.D., 2.5-in. I.D. split-spoon sampler with 1 or 6-inch long brass ring liners Blow counts: Should be recorded at six inch intervals for a total of 18 inches.
Push Samples:
When push sampling, the following data should be recorded:
Sampler type: Shelby tubes, pitcher tubes, others Downfeed pressure: This is read off of gauges on the drill rig. It should be checked throughout sampling, and a range of values should be given if appropriate. Drillers should be asked about reliability of gauges.
WLA Soil Classification based on ASTM 2488-93 Standards with minor modifications:
