(Closed) Noncompliance (50-321/77-19-02) Deficiency:
Records Retention.
The licensee failed to implement Appendix B ETS-5.7.1.
The specifica-
tion required that operational information, concerning limiting conditions

4.
Administrative Controls
Inspection included a detailed review and audit of written procedures
a.
for selected activities involved in implementing the Environmental
Technical Specifications (ETS).
Inspection disclosed that the
Environmental Programs Description Document defined in ETS-5.6.1
and describing the monitoring programs required by ETS Sections 3.1
and 4.1, appeared consistent with such requirements.
Inspection
also disclosed, however, that the licensee failed to provide
procedures to assure quality assurance of program results required
by ETS-5.6.2.
This specification required, in part, provision of
procedures assuring the quality of ETS program results, including
analytical measurements.
In addition, the procedures were required
to provide systems to identify and correct deficiencies in monitoring
programs, to investigate anomalous or suspect results, and to
review and evaluate program results.
The inspector informed licensee
representatives that failure to provide the subject procedures, as
required, constituted an item of noncompliance (50-321/78-40-1 and
50-366/78-49-1).
b.
The inspector reviewed annual audit requirements defined in
ETS-5.3.2.
Inspection disclosed that an audit of activities of the
Plant Manager related to compliance with the ETS was performed
July 14 through July 18 (QA Audit 78-ETS-1-1).
Inspection also
disclosed that the required annual audit of activities of the
Manager of Environmental Affairs regarding compliance with the ETS
had not yet been performed.
There were no questions regarding this
item.

5.
Environmental Monitoring
Review and inspection of environmental monitoring was confined to aquatic,
abiotic parameters defined in ETS-3.1.1.1, 3.1.1.2 and 3.1.1.3 ; viz. ,
plant intake and discharge cooling water temperature, pH and residual
chlorine respectively.
Inspection of monitoring data, records and logs
disclosed that the subject requirements were implemented as assigned.
6.
Special Surveillance
The inspector reviewed the special surveillance requirements defined in
ETS-4.1.
The subject specification required semi-annual aerial surveys
of the transmission lines rights-of-way from HNP to the Bonaire Sub-
station for evidence of significant erosion.
Inspection disclosed that
the licensee failed to implement the survey as required. A survey was
conducted on August 22, 1978.
The previous survey was conducted
October 14, 1977. The inspector informed licensee representatives that
failure to conduct the surveys at the specified frequency constituted an
item of noncompliance (50-321/78-40-2 and 50-366/78-49-02).
7.
Terrestrial Surveillance
Inspection included review and discussion of monitoring of vegetative
communities within the site and its environs.
Inspection disclosed that
the annual aerial photographic survey to detect and assess the signifi-
cance of damage related to deposition of cooling tower drift was
implemented as required.
The survey indicated no perceptible damage.
There were no questions regarding this item.

Licensee Event Reports
The inspector reviewed License Event Report No. 78-05 concerning
excursion of the plant cooling water discharge pH above the assigned
limit.
Inspection disclosed that corrective actions were implemented as
assigned. This event was formally closed out.
