ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUEST POND HILL RESERVOIR EVALUATION SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION UNITS 1

AND 2 DOCKET NUMBERS 50-387 AND 50-388 8)

Your response to item 3 of our October 29, 1979 information request is incomplete.

a)

Indicate the proposed location of the pumping station on the flooding map.

b)

Provide detailed discussions of alternatives to the floodplain location for the pumping station and, if you so conclude, justification for the non-practic-ability of alternatives off the floodplain.

9).

Details of the saddle dike do not appear consistent between plates 3 and 4.

a)

On both figures the top of the dike is stated as at elevation 990 feet and is drawn at that elevation in plate 4.

In plate 3, however, the dike is shown as connecting with the 1005 foot contours.

In that figure the dike is shown as about 450 feet long.

A dike connecting the 990 foot contours of the hills would be only about 150 feet long.

b)

Plate 4 shows the shoreline of the reservoir on the

'ike embankment when at the calculated maximum level of 984.9 feet and about 60 feet from'the axis of the dike when at normal full pool elevation of 981-feet.

Plate 3 shows the shoreline considerably further away

,for both cases.

Please clarify these a'pparent discrepancies.

In addition, it appears from Plate 3 that at the normal

.ful,l pool elevation of 981 feet, the water surface will

~

be below the riprapped dike embankment, but will impinge upon what is labeled "zone 3 - random fill". Discuss how undermining and erosion of the tow of the dike will be prevented during times of wave attack on the random fi 1 1.
