Dear l'r. Bohn:
DRMuller WHRegan Ue have partially reviewed the report (" Summary Information, Hydrogeologic Evaluation of Construction Dewatering" with Attachment A
" Summary Report Investigation and Testing for Groundwater Pressure Relief During Construction")
submitted by letter dated August 27, 1979, in support of a proposed revision to MIPSCO's devatoring plan.
Based on the information presented, we conclude that the proposed plan consti-tutes a reasonable approach to the dewatering problem; has little potential for adverse offsite effects to groundwater; and that the existing monitoring and nitigation program can detect and interdict any adverse conditions before they affect offsite features (except as noted below).
He are continuing our review to include the portions of the report dealing with pmcedures for preventing and nitigating the effeicts of boils should they occur. This part of the work has been included as a portion of the effo"t currently being undertaken in connection with the pile driving proposal under review. Thos, this portion of our review is not yet complete.
The effect of the ash pond sealing on groundwater levels and monitoring has been considered by both of our staffs. However, while the ash pond seepage issue is not a direct Unit 1 problem, we should at least be aware of the sealing program you intend to implement. Therefore, we request that we be provided a courtesy copy of any reports and plans for sealing the ponds which would naterially improve our understanding of the approach, procedures, inspection, and monitoring to be used, and any potential impacts on the nonitoring and mitigation program.
