ENCLOSURE Iten A of the Motice of Violation Cection II.B.3 of Attachnent D to the Construction Permits required that detailed records of all construction monitoring data vill be maintained for use by fiRC cornliance inspectors and technical staff. The records vill cor.tain quarterly summaries documenting the detection of impacts (instances where feedback criteria vere exceeded) and, if necessary, the resulting mitigating action and subsequent recovery in water quality.
1.
Contrary to t' above, pH of the east holding pond discharce to Dixon Creek was reported to have exceeded the maximun assigned limit of 9.0 on February lb,15, and 20,1978; however, no mitigating action subsequent to the release was defined.
2.
Contrary to the above, on March 20, 1978, the licensee failed to report excursion of the east holding nond discharge pH above the maximum assigned limit of 9.0.
The pH recorded was 9.6.
TVA Response 1.
The corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved:
The excursions of February lk,15, 20, and March 20, 1978, were identified in the quarterly summary for January fiarch 1978. However, the quarterly summary was deficient in doeunenting the resulting miticatinc actions. At the time of the inspection, this deficiency had been identified in TVA's managenent audit for the responsible organization. These excursions vill be discussed in the Hartsville Nuclear Plants Special Construction Effects fionitoring Study, Peport for the Second Year of Constructian, which will be submitted in January 1979 to the Nuclear Regulatory Connission ('i3C) in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B of the construction permits.

Corrective steps which vill be taken to avoid further nonconoliance:
A work procedure detailing the -
ncibilities of the proper TVA personnel with regard to pH variance reporting has been prepared. This procedure, which vill be formally reviewed by the appropriate TVA management before final approval, vill be issued and implemented by March 1979 3.
The date when full comnliance vill be achieved:
Full compliance vill be achieved in January 1979 when the Hartsville Nuclear Plants Special Construction Effect Monitorinc Study, Report for the Second Year of Construction is submitted to NRC for their review and comment.
