20555 SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1, 2, 3, AND 4 DOCKET NOS. 50-400, 50-401, 50-402, AND 50-403 IN-PLACE 'TEST PILL'PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Denton:
In response to your staff's questions of March 20, 1979, concerning the strength of the weathered rock foundations and in-place gradation of random rockfill embankment material for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant's (SHNPP) auxiliary dam and separating dike, the following information and commitments are provided:
l.
Ebasco Specification CAR-SH-CH-4, Embankments, Dams, Dikes, and Channels,"
has been revised to require a)
The minimum allowable dry density of the in-situ residual soil where the dam and dike embankments will be placed on suitable soil shall be 98 lb/ft.
The expected'verage dry density should be 109 lb/ft3.
(Design parameters See PSAR Appendix 2E).
b)
The dam and dike residual soil foundation shall be proof rolled to identify wet or soft material.
The proof rolling shall consist of slow travel with a loaded pan over 100 percent of the soil surface in both the longitudinal and transverse axis.
In areas where the width is restrictive, the proof rolling will be completed only in the longitudinal direction.
Any soft or wet material identified shall be removed and replaced with suitable material in accordance with Paragraph 104.
c)
The minimum dry density for the in-place random rock fillzone shall be 130 lb/ft.
The average dry density for the in-place random rock fillzone shall be 135 lb/ft3.
d)
A site geologist and soil engineer will map and classify the foundation in accordance with ASTM visual classification methods to verify that the foundation conditions conform to the boring data.

Mr, Harold R. Denton 2.
SHNPP Technical Procedure TP-08, "Soil Control Program Class I Dams, Fill and Backfill," has been revised to require:
a)
After excavation of unsuitable material where the dam or dike embankment material will be placed on in-situ residual soil, field density tests shall be performed on the prepared surface at a frequency of one test every 5000 ft2.
The density tests shall be completed prior to proof rolling.
b)
Proof rolling of residual soil where embankment material will be placed shall be monitored by a qualified inspector to assure any wet or soft material. zones are removed and replaced with suitable material in accordance with Ebasco Specification CAR-SH-CH-4.
c)
An in-place density test and gradation analysis of the rockfill and random rockfill material shall be performed for every 20,000 cubic yards of material placed.
If the first two tests for both density and gradation indicate results consistent with test fill criteria, the frequency can be reduced to every 40,000 cubic yards.
Carolina Power 6 Light Company believes that the above information will allow your staff to approve the in-place test fillprogram for the SHNPP auxiliary dam and separating dike.
Yours very truly, M. A. McDuffie Senior Vice President Engineering
