S'.IMARY OF ENVIR0!N. ENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAM RESPECTING CONSTRUC* ION OF GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STA!!?'.

FOR SIX MONTHS ENDING QCTOBER 31, 1979 At the end of October, 1979, construction of Units I ind !! was 91.9% and 15.67. comple te , respect ively. The entire construction project is 64.17, complete. The following items in Unit I have received considerable attention since the last report: the generator rotor has been repaired in Germany and is in route back to the jobsite, repair work is underway on the south cooling tower, Ranney well work resumed with pump tests underway an wells 3 and 5, foundation work is underway on the north cooling tower, and Unit II reactor was set in place.

,'JHICULAR MOVDE!.7 There were no "of f limit" violations during the reporting period.

DUST CONTROL There were no obviously excessive dust control violations during the reporting period.

SMOKE CONTROL There were no smoke control tiolations during the reporting period.

EROS!0N CONTROL Rain eccurred on thirty-ei;ht (33) separate occasions during the reporting period with an accumulated rainf all of 19.99 inches.

Runoff samples were collected on ten (10) of these instances and returned to the laboratory for suspended solids analysis. Minor instances of additional erosion was abserved; however, the stability of the site has increased with another growing season, Most previously 1738 032

Sumr.ary of Environmental ?rotection Program For Six Months Ending October 31, 1979 reported erosion areas have been repaired, the exceptions being the areas adjacent to PSW Line leading from the river to the plant. Grass has been planted around the MP&L Administration 3uilding and shrubbery was recently set out ad j acent the building.

NCISE CONTROL There were no noise control violations during the reporting period.

CHEMICAL a SOLID WASTE CONTROL Four (4) chemical and solid waste violations were observed during the reporting period. The air curtain destructor was replaced at the barn pit because it was operating inef ficiently due to severe rusting of the blower. A minor ?C3 spill occurred in the 3echtel Warehouse when a transfo rmer leaked. The area was cleaned up af tar consultation with state and federal authorities. All contaninated material was disposed of according to U.S. Government regulations. A large fuel spill in the upper northwest laydown area was contained and cleaned up with no release into Sediment Basin "A". A thirty gallen 'larsal, mineral spirits, spill was washed out of Sedinent Basin "3" by a heavy rainfall. The spill was reported to the National Spill Response Center.

No adverse environmental eff ects were observed in Hamilton Lake. An additional minor oil 9p111 was observed en the top bank of the Mississippi River at Ranney Well 11. No oil was allowed into the Mississippi River.

Summary of Environmental Protection Program For Six Months Ending October 31, 1979 DEWATERING Several changes were observed in the ground water readings during the reporting period. 0W29A had a decrease in the water level of 3.5 feet and a decrease of 3.2 feet. In bo th instances, the Mississippi River was rapidly f alling. cwa, ?4, O'i4A and OW69A were not read in May because of floodwater ch the Mississippi ?.iver. CW5 and ?5 were destroyed in May; however, ef forta by 3echtel were successful in re-claiming the two wells.

VECETATION Two pecan trees, belonging to an adjacent prope rty owner , we re damaged by 3echtel during the reporting period. The damaged trees were repaired as soon as dressing material was acquired. An extended site development program was presented to the Site Manager as well as representatives of MPSL in Jackson. Portions of the plan are underway at this t ime. Clipping of overgrown areas is well underway.

Other items will be developed as need arises.

TRANSMISSION LINES An aerial survey, conducted in June, revealed considerable erosion at tower 193 on the 50CKV Franklin Line and the slide area on the 115KV line fran Port Gibson to GGNS. The Baxter Wilson 500K'l line is 99% complete with only cleanup of several areas lef . No E??

violations were observed during the reporting period. The pre-17138 034

Sunmary of Environmental ?rotection Program For Six Months Ending October 31, 1979 construction survey of the 300KV Ray 3raswell Trans.nission Line was concluded during the reporting period. Environnent al considerations were included concerning major highway crossings, the Big Black River crossing, minor strean crossings and aesthetic areas.
