NYSESG ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR INSERTION INSTRUCTIONS mR AMENDMENT 5 Remove old pages and insert Amendment 5 pages as instructed below (amendment pages bear the amendment number and date at the foot of the page) .
Vertical bars (change bars) have been placed in the outside marginr of revised text pages and tables to show the location of any technical changr.a originating with this amendment. Some pages bear a new amendment designation, but no change bars, because revisions on other pages in that section caused a text shift. A few unrevised pages have been reprinted because they fall within a run of closely spaced revised pages. No change bars are used on figures or on new sections, appendices, questions and responses, etc. Change bars from previous amendments have been deleted on pages revised by this amendment.
Transmittal letters along with these insertion instructions should either be filed or entered in Volume I of Part I, in front of any existing letters, instructions, distribution lists, etc.

NYSE&G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 2.5 GEOLOGY AND SEISMOLOGY The site is located near the southern shore of Lake Ontario, approximately 2 mi south of Mexico Bay in New Haven, NY, as shown in Figure 2.5-7. The site is situated in the Central Lowland physiographic province and is in an area of essentially flat-lying undeformed sedimentary rocks of ordovician age. The station structures are underlain by gently southwestward-dipping sedimentary rocks of the Oswego Sandstone. Extensive surface and subsurface geologic investigations indicate that the sedimentary strata at the site have not experienced any major orogenic deformation. Broad, low folds occur areally and trend N 50 deg E. The Demster Beach anticline with associated fault zone over 3 mi long is located 1 1/2 mi northwest of the site (Appendix 2.5I). An earthquake data base was compiled from published catalogs, as well as from original sources such as newspapers, town histories, etc, for a region extending more than 200 mi radially from the site. Prominent trends or clusters of seismic activity were identified, assessed, and, where possible, correlated with other geologic and geophysical data. Based on the spatial distribution of historical activity and also on the locations of the most recent reliable instrumental epicenters, the site is considered to be located in a region of very low seismicity. Considering that the site intensities associated with the largest historical events, both outside and within the site province, do not exceed an Intensity
, VI, the selection of an Intensity VII at the site is considered to be a i conservative assessment of the maximum earthquake potential. From a conservative analytical assessment of the seismicity, a peak horizontal ground acceleration of 0.15 g is adequately conservative under Appendix A to 10CFR100, Seismic and Geologic Siting Criteria. It has been decided by NYSE8G that a value of 0.2 g peak horizontal ground acceleration will be adopted for this site.
There is no known hazard of surface faulting at the site. There has been no mining activity, petroleum, natural gas recovery, or any other subsurface withdrawal activity at the site which would cause settlenent or ground subsidence, nor is any anticipated. The abandantd Pulaski gas field, approximately 8 mi northeast of the site, is the closest occurrence of subsurface withdrawal other than private and municipal vater wells. All safety related station structures will be founded on bedrock. Core borings and Trench I at the site indicated no evidence of significant bedrock weathering, cavities, or faults which might affect the safety or integrity of station structures. There are no steep slopes, unstable ground, or other geologically hazardous conditions which affect the suitability of the site. There are no major aquifers at or near the site; overburden deposits are generally of low permeability and ground water flow occurs primarily at the bedrock-soil interface.

2.5.1.1 Recional GeoloRY The region is defined by a 200-mi radius from the site. 2.5.1.1.1 Regional Physiograohv and Geomorpholony 2.5.1.1.1.1 Introduction The site is situated in the Erie-Ontario Lowland section of the Central Lowland physiographic province. Physiographic provinces and sections which l lie within 200 mi of the site are shown in Figure 2.5-1 and include: PROVINCE SECTION Central Lowland Erie-Ontario Loviands Appalachian Plateaus Catskill Section Appalachian Uplands Allegheny Mountain Section Kanawha Section Tug Hill Upland Mohawk Section Adirondack Valley and Ridge Hudson Valley Section Middle Section Laurentian Highlands St. Lawrence Lowlands Champlain Section New England Connecticut Valley Lowland Green Mountain Section Amendment 5 2.5-3 August 1979 2034 300
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Taconic Section Reading Prong-Hudson Highlands Piedmont Piedmont Lowitnds Section Coastal Plain Embayed Section 2.5.1.1.1.2 central Lowland Province (Site Provinegl The Erie-Ontario Lowlands encompass the relatively low, flat areas lying south of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. From the lake levels of 570 ft and 244 ft, respectively, the land rises gently eastward and southward. The maximum elevation, (1,000 to 1,500 ft) occurs along the Foreage escarpment, the boundary with the Appalachian Uplands to the south (Figure 2.5-1). In the Ontario Lowland, east-west escarpments are formed bv the Onondaga limestone and Lockport dolomite. The province is underlain by a nearly flat-lying (minor southward dip) sequence of shale, sandstone, and limestone of Early to Middle Paleozoic age. The simple erosional topography has been modified by glacial action with deposition of drumlin fields, moraines, and shoreline deposits. 2.5.1.1.1.3 Appalachian Plateaus Province The Catskill Mountain section lies vest of the Hudson Valley and extends as a salient into the Appalachian Plateaus. This area of mountainous relief consists of a maturely dissected, slightly higher plateau which reaches an elevation of approximately 4,000 ft. The underlying bedrock sedimentary formations of Middle and Upper Paleozoic age, are more deformed then those of the uplands to the west. The mountains ove their prominent relief to a resistant coarse sandstone and conglomerate caprock (Catskill Formation). The area has been glaciated, and glacial deposits abound in the deep and prominent steep sided valleys. The Appalachian Uplands (the northern extreme of the Appalachian Plateaus) were formed by dissection of the uplifted but flat-lying sandstones and shales of the Devonian Catskill delta. Relief is moderate to high. Westward, the Uplands surface is represented by flat topped divides. Drainage is generally southwest into the Allegheny, Susquehanna, and Delaware River systems, except for Cattaraugus Creek, the Genessee River, the Finger Lakes, and minor streams along the Catskill front. The northern edge of the province is cut by the Finger Lake troughs, which are glacially modified valleys of preglacial rivers'28 At least two of the lakes (Cayuga and Seneca) have bedrock floors below sea level. Glacial cover is generally thin, although some very thick deposits occur in some north-south valleys. The major east-west drainage divide of central New York- the Valley Heads moraine, is a recessional moraine south of the present Finger Lakes (Tigure 2.5-2). The Allegheny Mountain section in northern Pennsylvania is a dissected plateau on mildly fold-d sedimentary rocks of Middle to Upper Paleozoic ages. Erosion Amendment 5 2.5-4 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW UAVEN-NUCLEAR of the gently folded rocks has resulted in a pattern of crude topographic belts which trend northeasterly. Mountain surfaces rise to el 2,900, assumed to reflect a level of the Schooley peneplain. Lower surfaces cissected into the plateau at approximately el 2,000 may reflect a later peneplain development. The Tug Hill Upland is an isolated section at the eastern end of the Erie-Ontario Lowlands. Elevation is approximately 2,000 ft and relief is very low. The Tug Hill Plateau results from a resistant caprock of Oswego Sandstone (of Ordovician age), resting on a thick series of sandy shales. These shales, in turn, overlie Trenton and Black River limestones (Figure 2.5-6). The low slope of the caprock and the thin cover of ;1acial deposits have caused poor drainage and many swamps which result in r desolate landscape. The Mohawk section, a lowland resulting from erosion along an outcrop belt, lies between the Adirondacks and the Helderberg escarpment. The belt is commonly of low elevation and relief, underlain by relatively nonresistant Ordovician shales which have been exposed by early large scale erosion, stripping away the overlying Silurian and Devonian sandstones, and by Pleistocene glacial action. Mohawk Valley is largely blanketed by deposits of Late Pleistocene ou- ash, deltas, and lake clays'58 2.5.1.1.1.4 Adirondack Provineg The highest mountains within the site region occur in +he Adirondack Province, a glaciated uplift area in which peaks are largely well rounded by erosion and many reach altitudes above 4,000 ft; two peaks are over 5,000 ft in elevation. The province merges into the plains of the St. Lawrence Valley to the north and west, and the Mohawk Valley to the south. Eastward to the Champlain Lowlands, the slope is more abrupt. Ancient Precambrian crystalline rocks of schist, quartzite, marble, and granitic intrusives, similar to the Canadian shield, underlie the Adirondacks. The mountains are transected by long, northeast-southwest lineaments, and some represent shear zones or major faults'"'. The lineaments frequently control drainage and the landforms. Many lakes follow geologic contacts, or are in valleys along weak rock units. Young glacial deposits clog the normal radial drainage and lower areas are dotted with lakes, ponds, and swamps. 2.5.1.1.1.5 Valley and Ridge Province The Hudson Valley section is a lowland resulting from erosion along an outcrop belt of relatively nonresistant shales and slates,. lying _between the mgre_ resistant sedimentary rocks of the Catskill Mountains and Helderberg escarpment to the west (Figure 2.5-1), and the harder metamorphic rocks of the Taconic Mountains to the east. Most of the section has both low elevation and relief, and_is underlain primarily by Ordovician shales which have been exposed by recent glacial action and earlier large scale erosion which stripped off the Silurian and Devonian limestones.

The Middle section in the site region is characterized by a more typical northeasterly-elongate topographic pattern of valleys and ridges resulting from differential erosion of folded sedimentary rocks, commonly with the more resistant sandstones supporting the ridges. Along its southeastern margin, the Middle section is characterized by a lowland underlain by Early Paleozoic limestone and shale, bounded by the abrupt slopes of the Reading Prong-Hudson Highlands. 2.5.1.1.1.6 L3urentian Michlands Province The Highlands within 200 mi of the site are characterized by low relief, with numerous lakes filling the lower ground between gentja northeast-trending ridges of peneplained Precambrian (Grenville) crystallita rocks. Elevations range to about 700 ft. Much of the area is blanketed by a veneer of Late Wisconsinan glacio-lacustrine and glacio-marine silt and clay deposits. 2.5.1.1.1.7 St. Lawrence Lowlands Province The northeastern physiographic province in the site region includes the St. Lawrence River Valley, the low hills south of the river valley, and the Lake Champlain Valley. The underlying rocks, Cambrian and Ordovician sandstones, dolomites, and limestones, dip gently away from the Adirondacks. Relief is approximately 100 ft. Streams draining the northern and eastern slopes of the Adirondacks flow across the province. The shoreline of Lake Champlain is largely controlled by north-south and east-west faults which have broken the l Paleozoic sandstones and carbonates into large blocks'">. Bedrock of the St. Lawrence Valley is blanketed by fine-grained glacio-marine and glacio-lacustrine sediments of Late Pleistocene age. 2.5.1.1.1.8 New Encland Province The physiographic fabric of the land area in the New England region within 200 mi of the site is characterized by a series of subparallel belts, elongate to the northeast, of lowlands, uplands, and mountain ranges or groups. These northeast-trending physiographic belts largely reflect regional variations in the structure or lithology of the underlying bedrock, which ranges in age from Precambrian to Mesozoic. These differences are further accentuated by differential weathering and erosion. The topography has been rounded or subdued by the scouring action of continental glaciation which moved over the region intermittently during the Pleistocene epoch. The New England Upland (Figure 2.5-1) is a maturely dissected plateau ranging in elevation from about 500 to 2,000 ft, underlain largely by Silurian and Devonian eugeosynclinal metasedimentary rocks which were folded, recrystallized, and consolidated in a broad northeast striking foldbelt during the Acadian Orogeny (Devonian time).

The Connecticut Valley Lowland, a distinctive low elevation physiographic and geologic element, trends northward into the New England Upland for about 100 mi through central Connecticut and west-central Massachusetts. The valley, formed by crustal rifting in Early Mesozoic time, contains easily eroded sandstones and shales of Triassic and Jurassic age <58, locally interlayered with resistant diabase flows which form prominent ridges. The narrow belt of the Green Mountain section (Figure 2.5-1) ranges in elevation from about 1,000 to 3,000 ft, and reflects closely the continuous north-trending fabric of fairly open anticlinal folding and west-directed thrust faulting of crystalline Precambrian basement masses and overlying Lower Paleozoic miogeosynclinal sedimentary rocks'68 The Taconic section, some 150 mi east of the site, is characterized by a mountaneous terrane supported by quartzite, schist, and phyllite metamorphic rocks, with a prominent valley on the east underlain by relatively non-resistant marble bedrock. The north-trending alignment of the section reflects the underlying bedrock fold and fault structure which developed in Taconic and Acadian Oroganies (Paleozoic time) by westerly directed crustal compression'r,. The Reading Prong-Hudson Highlands section, a narrow southwestward extension of the upland terrane of the New England province, is underlain mainly by Precambrian crystalline rocks related to those of the Green Mountain and Berkshire Uplands. The section is characterized by elevations ranging to about 1,200 ft, cut by deep, structurally controlled valleys trending parallel to the section. The section boundaries with the middle section to the northwest, and with the Triassic sedimentary rocks of the Piedmont Lowlands to the southeast are abrupt. 2.5.1.1.1.9 Piedmont Province The Piedmont Lowlands in the site region are underlain by relatively non-resistant Triassic shales and sandstones with interlayered .esistant diabase flows. The section is bounded on the northeast and north by a prominent escarpment of the Palisades diabase sill, on the northwest by the Ramapo fault and other border faults of Mesozoic rifting derivation, and on the southeast by the overlap of Coastal Plain sediments of Cretaceous age. The Palisades are the outstanding feature of the section, forming the west bank of the Hudson River from Nyack, NY, southward.

The prcvince is a low elevation section composed of loosely consolidated sediments of Cretaceous and Cenozoic age resting on basement rocks which constitute the on-strike extensions of the Precambrian, Paleozoic, and Mesozoic terranes of the upland areas. Beneath Long Island, Coastal plain cediments underlie locally thick deposits derived from Pleistocene glaciations. The Coastal Plain section is characterized by a series of seaward dipping sedimentary formations which thicken toward the continental slope. 2.5.1.1.1.11 Physiographic Development The development of the physiographic features characterizing the site region was initiated at the close of the Mesozoic era. Following peneplanation, the region was elevated and subjected to subareal weathering, erosion, and dissection of the peneplain surface. Sediments transported from the landmass during this time were carried seaward to form the Coastal Plain sedimentary deposits. Crystalline basement rocks underlying the elevated landmass in New England were deeply weathered, with the fine grained metamorphic rocks generally undergoing more extensive weathering than the intrusive plutonic rocks. Following the long period of Cenozoic weathering and degradation of the landmass, successive advances of continental glaciation occurred during the Pleistocene epoch. The ice shpets removed the residual soils and loose weathered bedrock surface, and upon withdrawal / melting deposited a ground moraine of generally stony till on the scoured bedrock surface. Locally, the morainal deposits are overlain by ice contact and outwash deposits. Depression of the landmass by the weight of thick glacial ice, combined with a rise of sea level due to the melting of the ice shtets, resulted in submergence of wide areas of the lowlands. Rock flour released from the melting ice was deposited on the undulating surface of the submerged lowlands and valleys as a blanket of marine clay-silt, or as lake deposits along the major river valleys. Crustal rebound, following the removal of the last glacial ice, ' elevated the upper surface of the marine clay-silt blanket and lake water-plane deposits above sea level by as much as several hundreds of feeto* . 2.5.1.1.2 Renional Surficial Geolony 2.5.1.1.2.1 Introduction The distribution of surficial deposits in the region is shown in Figure 2.5-2, and throughout the site area is shown in Figure 2.5-18.

NYSERG ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR into two informal sectors, although the deposits, therein, are generally similar. No geologic, seismic, or manmade hazards of significance as to the safety of the site are known or inferred to relate to the regional surficial geologic features. There are no areas near the site that are currently undergoing intense erosion. 2.5.1.1.2.2 New England Sector The surficial deposits throughout the New England sector (Figure 2.5-2), except for a small area of residual soils in New Jersey, are glacially derived and cover the landmass,'2'. They were deposited primarily by the Late l Wisconsinan continental ice sheet and the meltwaters of the receding ice. The upland and mou'tain areas are characterized by a thin veneer of glacial till with interspersed bedrock exposures. Ice contact and outvash sands and gravel, deposited locally along valleys in this sector, are sometimes associated with clay-silt deposits, 9,000 to 10,000 years old. The Seaboard Lowlands are characterized by extensive deposits of glacio-marine clay-silt (rock flour) and by extensive deposits of ice contact and outwash sands overlying till. Seismic reflection surveys in offshore areas indicate that till, ice contact, outwash, and glacio-marine clay-silt deposits are also distributed throughout the northern marine sector. The southern terminus of the last glacial advance is defined along the southern New England coast and Long Island by east-west elongate deposits of terminal moraine tills. To the south of the glaciated region, the continental shelf is bic keted by a veneer of Holocene clastic sediments, with local occurrences of deep channel fillings on an irregular pre-Pleistocene erosion surface. 2.5.1.1.2.3 New York / Great Lakes Sector Surficial deposits in the New York / Great Lakes sector of the site region are glacially derived and cover the entire landmass (Figure 2.5-2), except for the areas of steep relief such as parts of the Hudson Valley, Adirondack Mountains, and Helderberg escarpment (Figure 2.5-1). The depesits were largely deposited by Late Wisconsinan continental ice sheet and associated meltwaters. The following description of features is after LaFleur8'. At maximum extent, the last major continental ice sheet covered most of New York state and New England, north of Long Island and Staten Island. Ice thickness in the site area may have exceeded 3,000 ft, while sea level stood about 350 ft below that at present, exposing much of the continental shelf. The burden of the glacial mass produced regional downwarp of the earth's crust to the extent that the land surface in southern Quebec was depressed to some 1,000 ft below where it stands today. The periphery, or zero isobase of this depressed crustal zone, tended to coincide with the position of the ice margin at maximum extent (i.e., the latitude of New York City). As the glacier backwasted northward, meltwaters drained slowly through the lower Hudson Valley to a rising Atlantic Ocean. A thin glacial till is overlain locally by ice contact and outvash sands and gravels, throughout much of the sector. A series of glacial lakes accompanied the vasting ice margin through the Hudson and Champlain Lowlands. The earliest was Lake Hackensack, confined Amendment 5 2.5-9 *$ h f August 1979

Lake Albany covered most of the Hudson River Valley. The ice sheet broke apart in the St. Lawrence Lowland, as the sea level continued to rise in that depressed basin. Marine waters then invaded much of the Champlain Lowland from the north. Continued crustal aplift of the St. Lawrence Lowland eventually drained the Champlain sea, and the present Lake Champlain came into existence (Section 2.5.1.1.1.7). Since Late Wisconsinan times, the Lake Albany clays have been eroded and redeposited in topographically low areas where they have been subsequently dissected by streams and tributaries. This cycle is common throughout the site area. The surficial deposits of the Adirondacks are b.iaracterized by a thin veneer of glacial till with interspersed bedrock exposures. Throughout the valley areas, such as the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers, ice contact and outvash sands with numerous hanging delta deposits are common, along with a till blanket. The videspread lake clays of ancestral Lake Albany occur within the central Hudson River Valley. In central and western New York State, the bedrock is concealed by thin to thick deposits of glacial till and/or gravels. Surface features such as drumlins, eskers, and glacially-scoured lakes are common. The major east-west drainage divide of central New York, the Valley Heads moraine, is a recessional moraine south of the present ringer Lakes (Figure 2.5-2). The glacial tills and gravelly deposits of northern Pennsylvania were laid down by the earlier Wisconsinan ice sheets. 2 .*5 .1.1. 3 ReRional Bedrock GeoloRY , 2.5.1.1.3.1 Introduction The site is underlain by undeformed Ordovician sandstone and shalos of the Eastern Stable Platform province.

Several north-trending and west trending faults are known in central New York State; all are very old in age (Figure 2.5-5). For example, a number of small faults in Devonian rocks near Syracuse strike N70degW and exhibit a maximum displacement of 40 ft; they were apparently formed during the regional tilting and broad folding of central-southern New York State during mid-to-Late Paleozoic time. The Platform province is the location of many small-scale folds, popups, and anticlinal features that occur throughout the upper St. Lawrence River sector and along the southern and western shore of Lake Ontario in New York State and in the Toronto-Hamilton area of Canada (Appendix 2.5A, 2.1). Most of the f stures are postglacial in origin; some were partly to wholly formed prior to the last ice advance. 2.5.1.1.3.3 Appalachian Elateau Province The main Appalachian Plateau province consists primarily of a gently folded synclinal basin filled with sediments of Cambrian to Permian age that overlie the Grenville-like, Precambrian basement68 East of the site area, the Catskill Basin and Helderberg Highlands are local features within the broad province (Figure 2.5-1 and Section 2.5.1.1.1.3). In the New York State sector, the structure is part of the regional homocline that continues southwa:d f rom the Eastern Stable Platf orm. The northern and northwestern boundary of the Appalachian Plateau province is broadly marVed by the Portage escarpment and, to the south, by gentle folds and some small faults (Figure 2.5-5). These features trend east-west, normal to the regional dip that continues southward from the Eastern Stable Platform (Section 2.5.1.1.3.5). The base of the folded and faulted sequence in central New York State is the Salina Formation (Silurian) consisting of several hun! red feet of interbedded rock salt and dolomite. Pruchat'7' suggests that the f olding and faulting of the overlying strata are due, in part, to sliding or adjustment and decollement slip of the Appalachian Plateau that includes the southern part of New Yerk State as confirmed by structures in the Cayuga Salt Mina in the core of the Fir Tree anticline near Ithaca. Movement within the evaporite beds near the top of the Salina Formation and decollen.nt slip in the Appalachian Plateau Province has been further documented by the investigations of Engelder and Engelder'. The southern and eastern boundary of the Plateau province is the Appalachian Structural Front, the limit of highly deformed rocks in the Northern Valley and Ridge province (Figure 2.5-5 and Section 2.5.2.2.2).

NYSE8C ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR The youngest known tectonic features in the province are Cretaceous mafic dikes and associated structures in central New York State'. Subsequent epirogenic uplift in Tertiary time occurred due to the great removal of sediment from the entire Appalachian system within the Plateau sector. The Ancestral streams were reactivated and began downcutting below the old peneplained surface. The Pleistocene ice sheets further sculptured and carved the surface bedrock into the present topography (Section 2.5.1.1.2.2). 2.5.1.1.3.4 Ad_rondack Mountains The Adirondack Mountains represent a trartitory phase in a geological history spanning at least 1.100,000,000 years. On the basis of the rocks exposed, it is impossible to reconstruct the entire sequence of Precambrian events; much of the record has been obscured or destroyed by many cycles of dynamic geological processes. Only the deep root zone of an ancestral countain system remains, and some are : of critical structures are buried beneath glacial deposits and alluvium. However, from this fragmentary evidence, a reasonable reconstruction of the Precambrian geological history has been formulated'. Sometime earlier than 1,100,000,000 years ago (perhaps much earlier), all of eastern North America was the site of a long, narrow trough covered by a shallow sea. In this geosyncline, sediments were deposited from an adjacent landmass on the west and probably a continental mass on the east (anceetrP Africa before drift). With the passage of time, the ancient geosyncline became loaded with sediments (i.e., submarine lavas and volcanic ash-falls, mand, mud, and cticium carbonate). The growing accumulation of debris cau:9) the geosyncline :o sag slowly, and the sediments gradually were compacted and cemented into rock. The prism of sedimentary rock in the geosyncline ultimately reiched a thickness of perhaps 40,000 ft. At that time, tectonic fccces began brekling and thrusting the wedge of sediments to form a high-standing, deep-rooted mountain system. Throughout the ancestral mountain system, the deformation profoundly folded and disrupted the original sediments. As a result of extremely high temperatures and intense pressures in the mountain root zone, tr e rocks recrystallized into gneisses, marbles, and other metamorphic rock types, while some units became mobile and flowed. Others, such as granite, melted and invaded adjoining rocks. The Precambrian crystalline rocks are s im; lar to those of the Canadian Shield /Grenville province. The early Precambrian mountain range was reduced to sea level by erosive forces. The Adirondack region was subsequently subjected to at least one, and possibly two or more, Precambrian mountain building episodes. The mountains of today represent a rebirth of part of the ancient, bevelled Precambrian root zone as a result of doming in Paleozoic and later time. At the beginning of Cambrian time, some 600,000,000 years ago, the Adirondacks were rather high mountains supplying sediments to the surrounding sectors.

The Adirondack Mountains were strongly deformed in Early and Middle Paleozoic time by the Taconic and Acadian Orogenies of at least 435,000,000 and 350,000,000 years ago, respectively. Many of the large scale faults and regional structures formed during these Paleozoic Orogenies are prominent features today and can be traced several miles into the onlapping sedimentary rocke (Figure 2.5-3) as long, northeast-southwest lineaments; they frequently control drainage and landforms. The Adirondacks are covered in large part by widespread glacial deposits (Section 2.5.1.1.2.2). 2.5.1.1.3.5 Frontenac Arch Sector of Eastern Stable Platform The portion of the Frontenac Arch Sector within the 200-mile region is characterized by a metamorphosed complex of Lower and Middle Proterozoic gneisses and migmatites, quartzites, marbles, and other metasediments that are locally intruded by granites and syenites of Grenville age. The rocks of the Grenville series have rad'.ometric ages of some 1,100,000,000 years, and are the oldest rocks in the region'. The Grenville series was formed by marine deposition of thick deposits of mud, sand, and calcareous materials (over 1,100,000,000 years ago). The sediments were lithified into a sequence of shale, sandstone, and limestone which reaches a maximum thickness of about 9,400 ft in the sector north of Lake Ontario. The rocks subsequently underwent three periods of folding with local intrusions of mafic and felsic igneous rocks snd diabase dikes. One protracted period of regional / dynamic metamorphism occurred. These events represent the last major Precambrian orogeny in northeastern North America'2. The Grenville Orogeny was followed by a long interval of geologic time during which erosion bevelled the Precambrian (Proterozoic) rocks to a low-lying topography. During Paleozoic time, at least part of the terrane was covered by sedimentary rocks which have since been stripped away. 2.5.1.1.3.6 Western Ouebec Seismic Zone The Western Quebec Seismic Zone is characterized by a central, closely faulted sequence of Cambrian-Ordovician sandstones, shales, and limestones and a broad belt of Precambrian Grewrille-age rocks which are bordered to the north and south by highly deformed Grenville-type Precambrian rocks of the Laurentian and Adirondack Mountains'228 Cambrian-Ordovician strata in the Western Quebec Seismic Zone include the following rock units within New York State and Canada: Potsdam Sandstone, Beekmantown Dolomite, Chazy Limestcne and Sandstone, Black River Dolomite, Trenton Limestone, Canajoharie/Utica Shale, and the Lorraine and Queenston Shales and Sandstones.

Grenville-type rocks consist of a series of compositionally and structurally complex Proterozoic rocks, as described in Section 2.5.1.1.3.6. Within the province, the metamorphosed complex of the Laurentian Mountains are variable and consist of anorthosite, gabbro, charnockite, amphibolite, granodiorite, and granite mismatite. The Adirondack uplift sector is also underlain by Grenville age rocks, as described in Section 2.5.1.1.3.4. The Western Quebec Seismic Zone is marked by numerous high angle faults (i.e., Ottawa-Bonnechere graben), including the Winchester Springs and the Gloucester faults (Appendix 2.5A) with maximum displacement of some 1,700 ft<228 Paults trend predominately northwest and swing to the northeast near Montreal. Associated with faulting are numerous deep seated alkaline intrusives, carbonatites, mica peridotite pipes, and diatreme breccias. Alkaline intrusions form a series of alignments subparallel to this fault system. Larger alkaline intrusions are exposed or inferred at many junctions of the alignments. The Western Quebec Seismic Zone is marked by alkaline magmatic activity ranging from Precambrian to Cretaceous in age'25,25* . Widespread normal faults are the youngest known tectonic events, as described in Section 2.5.2.2.11 and are post-ordovician in age. 2.5.1.1.3.7 Northern Valley and Pidve Province The Northetn Valley and Ridge province within the region is characcerized by the main folding and thrust-faulting of the Appalachian system (Figure 2.5-3 and section 2.5.1.1.4.2). The Paleozoic rocks of Cambrian Devonian age (and younger to the south) are deformed into a major northeast- to northward-trending serics of anticlines and synclines and/or thrust ridges. Today, they occur as paralici or subparallel ridges and valleys with 1,000 to 2,000 ft of local relief. The Cambro-ordovician limestones and shales occur beneath the deeply scoured valleys, and the ridges are generally corposed of more resistant Middle and Upper Paleozoic sandstones and conglomerates southward in Pennsylvania. Rocks of the province are part of the series that comprise the Appalachian geosynclinal sedimentary history (Figure 2.5-6). Deposition which began in Cambrian time and continued throughout much of the Paleozoic resulted in the formation of shales, sandstones, coaglomerates, and limestones. Deformation progressed throughout the Paleozoic, beginning with the Taconic Orogeny (450,000,000 to 500,000,000 years) with further activity during the Acadian Orogeny (350,000,000 to 400,000,000 years ago) and Pennsylvanian and Permian time (230,000,000 to 260,000,000 years).

In the Valley and Ridge province final extensional faulting occurred during Early Mesozoic time8 The geologic history of the province within the site area, from the initiation of the Precambrian landmass on the east through the Taconic and Acadian tectonic activity and resulting structural features, is described in Section 2.5.1.2.5.2. Deformation of the near-surface Paleozoic rock sequence and the relationship of the underlying Precambrian basement has been interpreted in two different ways, as described in Section 2.5.1.1.4.7. The province was subjected to prolonged erosion throughout Mesozoic time. Broad up'ift of the Appalachian system in Tertiary time reactivated streams which downcut below the ancient peneplained surface and formed the young topography. The Pleistocene ice sheets scoured and further modified the surface, as described in Section 2.5.1.1.1.2. The dashed zone in Figure 2.5-5 is one interpretation of the boundary between the Piedmont and the Northern Valley and Ridge provinces which, on its northeastern end, essentially coincides with the series of small en echelon normal faults of the Ramapo Fault system in northeastern New Jersey. A second interpretation'26,2's places the province boundary at the base of a steep regional gravity gradient as shown by a solid line in Figure 2.5-5. 2.5.1.1.3.8 New England-Maritime province The New England Foldbelts The fabric of the bedrock structure in the New England province is grossly characterized by a series of elongate belts of folded and faulted metamorphic rocks with included plutonic masses of Early to Middle Paleozoic age. The most western rock groups strike as discrete anticlinoria and sync 11noria from southern Connecticut northerly through Massachusetts and Vermont. The more easterly of these belts are ncrth-trending in eastern Connecticut and central Massachusetts, and swing gradually to the northeast through New Hampshire to Maine. The westernmost of these foldbelts, the Green Mountain anticlinarium, contains a folded / faulted core of Precambrian (Grenville age) basement rocks enclosed by Early Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. It is delimited along its eastern edge by a discontinuous chain of ultramafic intrusive rocks which may rsflect the location of an Early Paleozoic continental edge. Roughly parallel to the western edge of the anticlinorium is a steep gravity gradient (Figure 2.5-5) which defines the boundary between the crustal plate of the New England foldbelts and that of the central craton'26'.

The Connecticut Valley contains shales and sandstones of continental origin, interbedded with diabase flows. These formations were deposited in a rifted basin structure, formed during Triassic and Jurassic time, by continental separation and the final opening of the Atlantic Ocean.

Some of the provinces have undergone major deformational effects from two or more different stress regimes; seme have experienced only minor or localized tectonic modifications in the course of as much as 1,000,000,000 years. Each province appears to have a reasonable degree of consistency relative to specific structural features impressed upon it by ancient compressional or tensional stress regimes (or lack thereof). Although the provinces as shown in Figure 2.5-5 are reflective of ancient stress regimes, they are probably not related to modern, relatively low magnitude crustal stresses in any demonstratable way. Of more importance is the orientation of the present day stress field relative to zones of weakness or other mechanical discontinuities (density, rigidity, geometry) which may resuit in localized stress cor.centrations within a province. 2.5.1.1.4.2 Eastern Stable Platform (Site Province) The Eastern Stable Platform is bounded on the north, east, and south by the Frontenac Arch Sector and the Adirondack and Appalachian Plateau provinces, respectively. The western boundary of the Platform is defined by the subsurface trend of the Grenville Front, which passes southerly from the west end of Georgian Bay, Ontario (300 mi vest-northwest of the site), beneath Lake Huron, through eastern Michigan, west-central Ohio (about 420 mi vest-southwest of the site), and into northern Kentucky'2 where it is apparently displaced to the west on the Kentucky River < lt zone <*o'. To the east of the Front, basement rocks are of Grenville age and to the west, the basement is largely of Hudsonian age (about 1,700,000,000 years), with evidence of further broad deformation in Elsonian time (1,350,000,000 years) and crustal rifting and volcanism in Keweenavan time (about 1,100,000,000 years'2. The buried surface of the Grenville basement in the Eastern Platform is relatively elevated in the northwestern part of the province along the Algonquin axis and Findlay arch, in southwestern Ontario and west-central Ohio, respectively, and slopes gently to the south and east from these topographic highs. Overlying the gently sloping basement surface throughout the province are essentially undeformed, nearly flat-lying sedimentary rocks which range in age from Cambrian to Permian. Faulting is localized, having been identified from surface exposures in northwestern Ohio and southwestern Ontario, and interpreted at depth from drillhole data in western New York, south of Lake Ontario (Figures 2.5-3 and 2.5-5) and exposures in excavations. The principal structural feature of the central New York sector of the Eastern Stable Platform is the southward-dipping homocline which continues uninterrupted into the Appalachian Plateau Province. Origin and characteristics of the regional dip and associated folding / faulting are described in Section :.5.1.1.4.3, as both features have been investigated more extensively with'." the Appalachian Plateau Province. 2034 z;4 Amendment 5 2.5-17 August 1979
NYSERG ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Within 200 mi of the site, normal faulting has displaced sedimentary rocks of the Platform in several areas in New York 88 and one area in southern Ontario, on the south and north sides of Lake Ontaric. In the two areas to the south of Lake Ontario and west-northwest of the site, south-trending normal faults are interpreted to pass beneath, but not displace Lower Silurian rocks. The significant tectonic feature of the Platform approximately 85 mi vest of the site is the Clarendon-Linden structure and a ramber of small faults described in Section 2.5.1.1.3.2. Broad low folds are common in the Paleozoic rocks such as the Demster Point anticline and New Haven syncline of the Auburn-Oswego / Mexico-Pulaski sector (Figure 2.5-5A). Sometimes modest scale faulting is associated with these feactures, such as the Demster Structural Zone (Figure 2.5-5A). Another notable structural feature is the Colton-Carthage mylonite zone of l Precambrian mylonite, augen gneiss, and ultramylonite'828 that extends in a sinuous manner from Carthage to Colton, New York (Figure 2.5-5A). This l northwest-dipping zone is a fundamental boundary and contact / fault zone <88' between contrasting Precambrian rock types: the nor.hwestern lowland of amphibolite-grade, Grenville series and metasediments of the Eastern Stable Platform; and the high grade granulite facies, gneisses, plutonic rocks, and associated metasediments of the Adirondacks. Garnet-cordierite gneiss, marble and cale-silicate of the Grenville Series in the St. Lawrence loviands have undergone four periods of folding while the meta-igneous rocks have undergone three folding phases acrota the Colton-Carthage zone'8"'. There is no major post-intrusive displacement along the Colton-Carthage zone <888; strike-slip and other fault movements occurred in Precambrian time. The Colton-Carthage zone appears as a prominent aeromagnetic linear en the l U.S. Geological Survey aeromagnetic map **68 (Figure 2.5-53). The magnetic signature of the Colton zone dies out north of the site area to the north of Pulaski, New York. The geophysical anomaly is due to the contrasting rock types / structures that comprise the Colton Zone. 2.5.1.1.4.3 Aeealachian Plateau Province The Appalachian Plateau province in the site region consists primarily of a homoclinal structure of southward-dipping Paleozoic rocks that rest on the Grenville-like, Precambrian basement. The main Plateau province in Pennsylvania and southward is a broad synelinal basin feature characterized by a thick mass of red shale and sandstone. The northern and northwestern boundaries of the Appalachian province is broadly marked by the southern limit of the known Paleozoic faults that extend south from the Adirondack Mountains, the Portage escarpment, and the northern extent of gentle folds and small faults that occur on an east-west trend normal to the regional dip (Section 2.5.1.1.3.3); gentle northeast trending folds occur northward in the Eastern Stable Platform.

Origin of Foldinz The general features relevant to the regional dip and the superimposed folding of central-southern New York were recognized many years ago by Vanuxem'878 and Hallin** . Sherwood'898 traced some of the Pennsylvania folds into New York State, such as the Crooked Creek (Pine Creek) syncline, the Sabinsville anticline, and the Cowanesque syneline (Figure 2.5-5A). Williams'*8' I described the parallel folds which decrease in strength northwest from Pennsylvania. The most complete discussion on the folds and geologic structure of south-c".:ral New York is by Wedel'". He located, mapped, interpreted their l PLobable relation, and suggested an origin. His work is the basis for the major fold structures shown in Figure 2.5-5A and is a principal source of information on the folds. Prucha' confirmed decollement slip movement as a principal cause of l deformation for some of the folding in his investigation of structures in the Salina salt beds and in the Cayuga Rock Salt mine located in the core of the Firtree Point anticline (Tigure 2.5-5A). Below the well-defined base of thin-skinned folding within the thick salt beds (Salina Group of Late Silurian) at 1,000 ft underground, the rock units are undeformed and show only a southward regional dip. Rodgers prepared a map of the Appalachian foreland and delineated the folds of New Yori, southwestward across Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Earlier in 1963 Rodgers'428 described the decollement slip movement l responsible for the folding of Burning Springs anticline, a fold in the foreland of the Appalachian Plateau of West Virginia. Furthermore, he speculated that the salient folds of central New York (Figure 2.5-5A) may be due to a similar origin: a shift of large blocks along strike-slip faults. Engelder and Engelder' have investigated the origin of the folds of the l Appalachian Plateau with respect to large-scale decollement slip. They have esiculated a 10-percent shortening of upstate New York normal to the fold trind. Other investigators have yet to accept this explanation for large-scale shortening (Prucha'*8' and Wallick'"">). l An impressive feature of the Appalachian Plateau fold structures is the departure from the general trend of the folding, which may be a reflection of inherent weaknesses in the rock column, localized adjustments at the time af deformation, or structural weaknesses in the basement. The change in trend of the large continuous folds in south-central New York (Figure 2.5-5A) is related spatially and, apparently, in origin to the salients of the appalachians. Amendment 5 2.5-19 bk 5ff August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR The southward-dipping regional homocline of the Appalachian Plateau and Eastern Stable Platform provinces was formed in mid- to late-Paleozoic time by one or more possible causes. Generally, investigators rela *.e the tilting of Paleozoic strata to phases of the folding / faulting of the Alleghenian orogeny. Regional Dio and Foldinz The regional dip of the strata is generally consistent throughout central-southern New York (both the Eastern Stable Platform and Appalact.ian Plateau Sectors). The Paleozoic formations crop out in bands that trend east-west, but in the western part, the younger formations swing southward. The prominent regional dip of Paleozoic beds may have originated in one of three periods relative to the time of the main thin-skinned folding and deformation of mid- to late-Paleozoic:
- 1. Tilting occurred before folding
- 2. Tilting occurred contemporaneous with foldine as a result of the same forces
- 3. Tilting occurred after folding The relatively uniform formational thicknesses and the evidence that tilting did not occur before Devonian time eliminates the concept of the dip originating as a function of sedimentation.
l Kindle <*5' suggested that the first possible origin of regional tilting was produced by the Canadian uplift, presumably near the close of the Devonian. Uplift of the Adirondacks could likewise be suggested as a similar source for tilting in the eastern sector (Hypothesis No. 4, Appendix 2.5I.6.4). The Precambrian basement surface generally dips uniformly southward throughout central-southern New York. If post-Devonian sediments were absent over most of central New York and deposition largely ce: sed at the close of the Devonian, then differential uplift could have cccurred during this period, thereby tilting the strata southward (related to 3ypothesis No. 3, Appendix 2.5I.6.4). This proposed origin of the tilt would physically accentuate the dip to the southwest in New York due to down-sinking of the overall Appalachian basin, the site of continuing sedimentary accumulation on through the Pennsylvanian time southward in Pennsylvania. Formations in the rock column are essentially parallel and of equal thickness over a wide area. Evidence indicates tilting did not occur before the end of Devonian time. Furthermore, if tilting occurred before folding, then the gentle folds of south-central New York (Figure 2.5-5A) were superimposed on a preexisting regional tilt. The folding logically occurred as part of the Alleghenian orogeny (Mississippian-Triassic). Yet, another objection to tilting first concerns the regional dip, which does not increase to the north or northeast Amendment 5 2.5-20 August 1979 3 c034 317
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR as the center of the Canadian uplift or Adirondack uplift is approached. However, there are examples of regional dips on a large ccale with no definite known center of uplift, as the Prairie Plains monocline of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. A second possible origin for the regional tilting is that it occu red at about the same time as the folding. Deposition in south-central New York may have ceased by the end of Devonian time or soon thereafter (Figure 2.5-6); depasition ceased in the Rochester area at the end Devonian time according to Kinsland846', Dott and Batten'478, and Seyfert and Sirkin'"**. However, in I the southwestern part of the basin in New York / Pennsylvania, sediments of Mississippian and even Pennsylvanian ages were deposited. An estimate ' the thickness of overlying Devonian sediments removed in the site area (approximately 5,500 ft) is shown on Figure 2.5-6 and assumes non-depos. tion of some Silurian carbonates that occur in vestern New York. Peneplains developed after the folding; Cretaceous erosion surfaces have been traced from Pennsylvania northward into New York and suggest that a considerable amount of overburden has been eroded'. If the regional dip was impressed on central- l southern New York at the time of the folding, it was by differential stresses, at least part torsional in nature. A third possible time of regional tilting is after the folding. However, if the regional dip was produced after folding ceased, the tilting was completed before the Cretaceous peneplains were developed'"; these peneplains can be l traced into Pennsylvania at an average slope of only a few feet to a mile. Furthermore, the broad folds of the site area (Figure 2.5-9), such as the Demster Beach anticline, do not exhibit features of tilting subsequent to folding. A vestward component in the regional dip causes Paleozoic formations in southwestern New York to dip southwest. Thinning alone is not of sufficient magnitude, nor in the right direction to account for this marked change. The in:rease in the westward component of regional dip becomes evident around the Seneca Lake sector where the marked change in trend of the fold axes occurs (Figure 2.5-5A). An obvious possibility for the southwest dip is irregular doming in the northeastern part of New York. However, this cause alone would nct form the consistent and uniform regional homoclinal structure of central-southern New York. If the tilting of beds and westward component of dip was caused by basin-wide subsidence (Hypothesis No. 3, Appendix 2.5I.6.4), this activity could have contributed to the buildup of stresses ultimately responsible for the widespread folding throughout central-southern New York and northern Pennsvivania (Appalachian Plateau Province). Post-Folding Events Extended erosion bevelled the ancestral Appalachian mountains and reduced the surface to a flat plain in Tertiary time. The removal of the thick cover was Amendment 5 2.5-21 2fjj j August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR accompanied by some norn4al faulting and igneous activity, probably during Jurassic-Cretaceous time (in central New York State). This activity included emplacement of the ultramafic dikes and some small structures. Widespread regional uplift occurred again a few million years ago, and the province has undergone a rejuvenation of the erosion cycle since that time. No tectonic deformation is known to have occurred within the past tens of millions of years in the province. Small-scale, nontectonic deformation associated with the glacial history / features is common (Appendix 2.5A). 2.5.A.l.4.4 Adirondack Mountains Tbs Adirondack Mountains represent only the deep-root zone of an ancestral Precambrian mountain system. Some important structural features are buried beneath glacial deposits and alluvium. The tectonic province is here defined as bounded on the north by the Western Quebec Seismic Zone; on the south by the Northern Valley and Ridge province; and on the south and west by the Appalachian Plateau, and the Eastern Stable Platform and the Frontenac Arch Sector. The geologic history is described in Section 2.5.1.1.3.4 A Precambrian geosyncline became the location of sediment deposition at least 1,100,000,000 years ago and subsequently tectonic forces deformed the wedge of sediments to form a high-standing, deep-rooted mountain system. The early Precambrian mountain range was reduced to sea level by erosive forces and the Adirondack region was subjected to at least one, and possibly two or more, Precambrian mountain-building episodes. The Adirondack Mountains were strongly deformed in Ear.'y and Middle Paleozoic time by the Taconic and Acadian Orogenies of 435,000,000 and 350,000,000 years ago, respectively. Many of the large scale faults and regional structures formed during these Paleozoic v ogenies are prominent features today and some can be traced and inferred many mi into the onlapping sedimentary rocks (Figure 2.5-3) as long, northeast-southwest lineaments; they frequently control drainage and landforms. Studies of recent ERTS-1 imagery have delineated a series of linears and/or joint patterns throughout the Adirendack l damal uplift'588 However, to date, no tectonic features younger than Acadian are known. Some investigators have suggested younger activity and g even that the Adirondack Mountains are risirg'5. However, field data to support this hypothesis and the possibility of Jenezeic faulting in the Lake George sector was analyzed. The Lake George anomaly was not substantiated (Appendix 2.5B) as a young fault. Furthermore, possible evidence for Quaternary seismic events in the northwestern sector of the province and the l St. Lawrence Lowland by Coates'52' was analyzed in the field, and the reported features were determined to be glacial in origin and not seismically induced (Appendix 2.5A.3). The limits of the Adirondack Mountain province along the south and west are arbitrary; some locate the boundary at the outcrop of the Precambrian basement, others at the Helderberg escarpment south of the Mohawk River, and other at known limits of the Paleozoic faults that extend south of the Mohawk River.

Here, the tectonic province is defined as bounded on the northwest by the Grenville Front, about 270 mi northwest of the site; on the northeast by the graben structure of the Western Quebec Seismic Zone; and on the southeast by the Highlands Boundary Fault'2. To the south, Grenville rocks slope gently beneath an increasingly thick cover of essentially undeformed sedimentary 1,rmations of Palaozoic age, and form the basement for the Eastern Stable Platform. 2.5.1.1.4.6 Western Quebec Seismie zone The Western Quebec Seismic Zone is characterized by a central, sequence of Cambrian-Ordovician sandstones, shales, and limestones and a broad belt of Precambrian Grenville age rocks, bordered to the north and south by highly deformed Grenville-type rocks of the Laurentian and Adirondack Mountains. The zone is marked by numerous, high-angle faults (i.e., Ottava-Bonnechere graben), including the Winchester Springs and the Gloucester faults (Appendix 2.5A). Maximum displacement tiong the faults is approximately 1,760 ft'22'. Taults trend predominantly northwest and swing to the northeast near MontrG11. Associated with faulting are numerous mantle-derived alkaline intrusives, carbonatites, mica peridotite pipes, and diatreme breccias. Alkaline intrusions form a series of alignments subparallel to this fault system. Larger alkaline intrusions are exposed or inferred at many junctions of the alignments. Geophysical studies by Diment<268, King'558, and Williams'225, along with investigations reported in Appendix 2.5A have verified the existence of these fault alignments. The Western Quebec Seismic Zone is marked by alkaline magmatic activity ranging from Precambria7 to Cretaceous in age'25,255 Cretaceous, nonorogenic alkaline magnetism and videspread normal faulting are the youngest known tectonic events. Kumarapeli'5"' recognizes three phases of normal movement (i.e., Pre-Ordovician, Ordovician, and Post-Ordovician). However, Beland'55' citing geophysical evidence, indicates no important movement since Ordovician time. Generalized mapping'56' has precluded the possibility of extending the so- l called St. Lawrence rift up the St. Lawrence River to Lake Ontario, which had been postulated by Kumarapeli and Saull'578 l Sbar and Sykes**o' and Saull and Williams' believe that the region is now l in compression with the maximum principal stress otiented east to northeast.

The province is bounded on the east by the New England .'aritime province, on the southeast by the Piedmont province, on the west and ntcthwest by the Appalachian Plateau, the Adirondack Mountains, and the Westerc Ouebec Seismic Zone. The Paleozoic rocks of the province are underlain by the 'recambrian basement rocks similar to those in the adjoining Piedmont provinc~ The prominent northeast-trending folds and thrusted structures have long been described as the result of strong pressure from the southeast which folded the great anticlines and synclines, and in places overturned them toward the northwest. Deformation has been considerably more intense than in adjoining regions, and investigators have long argued over two possible causes:
- 1. Deformation is primarily in the underlying basement and the h structures observed in the overlying strata are merely a reflection of that in the basement'6a,6, ,62,,
l
- 2. The original concept that all deformation is largely confined to the Paleozoic rocks overlying the basement'68'.
l Deformation of the province rocks progressed throughout Early-Middle Paleozoic time beginning with the Taconic Orogeny (450,000,000 to 500,000,000 years), and with further activity during the Acadian Orogeny (360,000,000 to 400,000,000 years)'6*'. The youngest activity occurred during Pennsylvanian l and Permian tims (230,000,000 to 260,000,000 years), in a sector to the south. Final extensional faulting occurred during Early Mesozoic time (190,000,000 to 180,000,000 years). By one interpretation, the Ramapo fault in northeastern New Jersey forms the southeastern boundary of the province. By another interpretation'26,27', the Ramapo fault system lies near the central part of the province. 2.5.1.1.4.8 New EnRland-Maritime Province The gross character of the New England province is that of a series of north-to northeast-trending foldbelts formed by two periods of orogenic compression in Ordovician and Devonian times. From west to east, these major foldbelts are the Green Mountain anticlinorium and the Connecticut Valley synclinorium'65'. The predominant trend of faulting parallels the foldbeits.

Within the basement rocks are structural basins of Triassic sediments (Se tion 2.5.2.2.11). The Piedmont is a relic structural province of Paleozoic-Mesozoic time. The tectonic province is herein defined as Lounded in the east by the Northern Coastal Plain and on the west-northwest by the Northern Valley and Ridge province. The Piedmont province may terminate near the northern New Jersey state line (dashed line in Figure 2.5-5), or near the easternmost corner of Pennsylvania (solid line in Figure 2.5-5) against the southwestern projection of the southern boundary of the New England-Maritime province. The youngest tectonic structures in the province are the Triassic-Jurassic faults associated with the Triassic basin features <bb> . Last movement on the l faults of at least 135,000,000 years has been determined by extensive studies within the Piedmont, south of the region (Section 2.5.2.2).

History 2.5.1.1.5.1 Introduction The bedrock of the site region (Figure 2.5-3) ranges in age from Precambrian Y (roughly 1,000,000,000 years old) to Middle Cretaceous (about 100,000,000 years old), and in lithology from predominantly crystalline metamorphic and igneous rocks in tne Piedmont, New England, Adirondacks, and Precambrian provinces to unmetamorphosed sedimentary rocks lying on a buried Precambrian cratonic basement in the Appalachian Plateau and Eastern Stable Platform areas (Figure 2.5-3). In New England and the Piedmont, Juro-Triassic continental deposits occur in supracrustal rift basins, and on the Southeastern New England Platform, continental deposits of Carboniferous age occur in intermontane and fault-bound basins on a Late Precambrian (550,000,000 to 650,000,000 years ago) Z basement terrain. In southeastern New Jersey and in offshore areas, the basement rock is covered by looself consolidated sediments of Late Cretaceous to Tertiary age (about 100,000,000 to 20,000,000 years old). Much of the northern three-quarters of the region is covered by a Amendment 5 2.5-25 2034 322- August 1979

(The principal references used in developing the historical summary include: Ballard88; Billingsir'*; Bird and Dewey'728; Cameron and NayloriF88; King''; King and Beckman'F"'; Rodgersi; Sicss'78'; WoodwardiF68.) 2.5.1.1.5.2 Paleozoic By the close of Precambrian time in the region surrounding the site, much of the Precambrian craton, including the Canadian Shield and its broad southern extension into the area of middle North America, had been reduced by a long period of subareal erosion to a low, broad landmass. Around the borders of this North American craton, the land was subsiding to initiate the development of geosynclines which were to constitute the mobile belts and the site of major orogenic activity throughout Paleozoic time. Cambrian By the start of the Cambrian period, the northeast-trending Appalachian geosyncline had formed in the proto-Atlantic Ocean which filled the gap between continental plates. The outer miogeosynclinal zone was receiving clastic shelf sediments at this time and fine grained sediments were deposited in the eugeosynclinal deep to the east. Gradual submergence of the interior platform to the west continued through Cambrian time, with deposition of basal quartz sanda, followed by carbonate deposition as the sea deepened across the craton. In upstate New York and Pennsylvania, a shallow sea was receiving sediments from an eastern landmass. Ordovician Depositional patterns of the Late Cambrian continued through Early Ordovician time with the deposition of predominantly calcareous materials in the miogeosyncline and onto the interior platform, and with argillaceous sedimentation in the eugeosyncline to the east. The first sequence of Paleozoic continental submergence ended at the close of Early Ordovician time with the widespread emergence and erosion of the interior landmass. By Middle Ordovician time, orogenic activity and uplift in the eastern geosyncline created a landmass along the eastern edge of t*.e continent. The Taconic Orogeny of this period (435,000,000 to 455,000,000 years ago) was initiated by a convergence of crustal plates in western New England, with development of an island are along the zone of the present Bronson Hill anticlinorium; with the westward-directed compression raising blocks of Precambrian Y basement (1,100,000 to 840,000,000 years ago) upward to the west l on imbricate thrust planes ****; and with the transporting of masses of the overlying eugeosynclinal deposits to the higher areas of the uplift, from which they migrated as submarine gravity slides downslope farther to the west, l thus forming the Taconic allochthon'788 Amendment 5 2.5-26 2034 '23 Au8ust 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR With gradual subsidence of the craton to the west, clastic sediments from the eastern uplift were deposited in shallow seas to the west as sand, shale, and carbonate deposits over the early Middle Ordovician erosional surface of the interior platform. Subsidence of the interior craton at this time was not geographically uniform, and the development of broad basins and intervening arches on the basement in east-central United States was initiated. Throughout Upper Ordovician time, continued erosion of the eastern uplands and gradual subsidence of the interior platform spread shaly sediments vesterly from the eastern uplands to the Mississippi River area. Silurian Carbonate deposition predominated throughout the Silurian, with the development of a wide, shallow sea over the interior platform. In Middle Silurian time, carbonate reef formation was widespread, enclosing broad restricted basins where in Upper Silurian time salt, anhydrite, and gypsum accumulated in areas subject to rapid evaporation. The broad tectonic basins and intervening topographic arches which had begun to form on the inner craton during Ordovician time increased in size and number. By the end of Late Silurian time, the interior seas had shrunk to expose wide areas to subareal erosion. Continued orogenic activity from place to place in the eastern geosyncline maintained discontinuour land areas along the eastern ecge of the continent, which provided clastic sediments to the miogeosynclinal zone during Middle and Upper Silurian time, following Latest Ordovician Early Silurian block faulting in the Mohawk and Champlain Valleys'64'. The eugeosyncline was an l intermittently active zone of volcanism, uplift, and subsidence. Devonian In Early Devonian time, a transgressing sea permitted the deposition of carbonate rocks over the Silurian carbonates of the miogeosyneline and adjacent submerged platform areas. In the interior platform, the first Devonian sediments to be deposited in many areas were Middle Devonian shales, deposited on a widespread erosional unconformity on Middle Silurian rocks. In the New England province during Early Devonian time, thick, predeminantly sedimentary deposits entered a eugeosynclinal trough along the zone of the Merrimack synelinorium. A renewed crustal plate convergence in later Early Devonian time compressed the region toward the northwest, folded and uplifted the island are chain into the Bronson Hill anticlinorium, and culminated with folding, me amorphism, faulting, and widespread plutonic activity in the New England province approximately 380,000,000 years ago. The Acadian Orogeny resulted in the final consolidation of the province as a discrete crustal block, velded to the North American continent. In the eastern part of the site region, the effects of the Acadian Orogeny included metamorphism, folding of earlier-developed Taconic cleavage, overturned folding to the west, and high-angle reverse faulting. Uplift resulting from the orogenic deformation led to rapid erosion, with the Amendment 5 2.5-27 [24 August 1979

At this time in the region's history, the Southeastern New England Platform was not located in its present position to the southeast of the New England province,*os. l Carboniferous In Early Mississippian time, sediment.ry deposition blanketed the interior platform to the Mississippi River area, predominantly in the form of black shales. These clastic sediments were derived from the upland tectonic landmass formed by Devonian orogenic activity along the eastern border of the continent. In Middle Mississippian time, clastic deposition on the interior platform gave way to carbonate deposition as the eastern crystalline landmass was gradually worn down by erosion. By the end of the Mississippian period, the interior platform largely emerged from the sea and was subjected to subareal erosion over wide arcas. In Early Pennsylvanian time, part of the interior platform was elevated above the sea, and sedimentary deposits are mainly restricted to the original eastern miogeosynclinal zone with some deposition westward. Toward Middle Pennsylvanian time, basin areas of the interior platform again were submerged with the deposition of marine limestones and shales as well as nonmarine clastic rocks. Sedimentary formations a the southwestern part of the site region are mostly nonmarine, shales, sandstones, and coal seams, with a few thin limestone members. The long history of geosynclinal subsidence and orogenic activity along the eastern border of the continent was brought to a close in the later part of Early Permian time by the A11eghenian orogeny. Permian sedimentary rocks are restricted to a small area beyond 200 mi from the site, in southeastern Ohio, southwestern Pennsylvania, and northwestern West Virginia, and consist of shales, sandstones, and thin coal seams which reflect the same general nonmarine depositional environment as the underlying Pennsylvanian rocks. Por the region to the east of the site region during this time, the tectonic history of the Carboniferous is characterized largely by southwesterly directed, right-lateral, strike-slip faulting (Middle Devonian to Late l Carboniferous time), involving rocks along the present coastal zone,828 The Southeastern New England Platform is interpreted to have migrated southwesterly into the general location of its present position at this time. Late Devonian to Carboniferous cantinental sediments vete deposited in intermontane basins on the Precambrian and older Paleozoic crystalline and sedimentary basement rocks of the Southeastern Platform. The close of the Paleozoic in the eastern region is characterized tectonically l by the collision of North Africa against the northern Appalachians'*o' and the development of the thrust fault complex along the boundary between the Southeastern Platform and the New England-Maritime foldbelt in Middle Permian l time (Public Service Company of New Hampshire, Seabrook PSAR**38), and Amendment 5 7.5-2A 2034 325 Ausust 1979

In the southern part of the site region and beyond in the region to the south, Cambrian through Pennsylvanian, sedimentary rocks of the miogeosyncline are highly folded in the Valley and Ridge province. These rocks are sometimes overturned to the northwest, and thrust-faulted, with subparallel folds and faults striking northeasterly. The gentle tilting and broad folding of the Paleozoic rocks throughout central New York State and probably the site area / region occurred as part of the main Appalachian system deformation. However, whether the site / area and related fold / fault features were formed earlier than the main Appalachian activity or as part of the Alleghenian orogeny is unclear on the basis of the available information. 2.5.1.1.5.3 Mesozoic During the Mesozoic era, the site area was elevated above sea level and subjected to subareal erosion. There is no record of geologic history for the site area during this time. Along the zone of the old eastern geosyneline on the eastern edge of the continent, a discontinuous series of linear rift basins developed in the uplifted eastern landmass during Triassic time, trending northeasterly from Alabama to Nova Scotia. These basins locally accumulated more than 20,000 ft of terrestrial clastic sediments including coal seams, and basin development was accompanied by extrusions of basalt flows and intrusions of basalt and diabase dikes and sills. During most of Triassic and Jurassic time, the landmass which had been formed along the eastern margin of the continent by Late Paleozoic orogenic events was subjected to erosion and base leveling, and by late Jurassic time, a low platform had been developed along the margin of the continental land area. In Early Cretaceous time, the area of the present Appalachian highlands was subjected to a series of troad arching uplifts aligned parallel to the northeasterly-trending Paleozoic fabric of deformation, while the low Coastal Plain platform subsided with each successive epeirogenic uplift. Clastic sediments of both terrestrial and marine origin were laid down in the gradually subsiding Paleozoic basement to form a thick vedge shaped series of Coastal PAain formations which dip gently seaward. Whitrences' has shown that a period of particularly rapid crustal subsidence l occurred on the Atlantic coastal plain between 102,000,000 and 108,000,000 years ago, continuing less strongly to about 90,000,000 years ago, and has related this to Middle Cre ueous periods of rapid subsidence and marine transgressions on cratonal areas in Siberia, Russia, western Canada, the United States Rocky Mountains and Gulf Coast, and Brazil.

NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR The compressional stress regimes of the older Paleozoic orogenic events and the later Paleozoic strike slip and thrust faulting in the eastern and southern quadrants of the site region gave way to regional extensional stress early in Mesozoic time, as the final separation of Africa from North America l was initiated, about 200,000,000 years ago6'. Rift basins were formed intermittently along the eastern Appalachians from Alabama to the Canadian Maritime provinces, and the region was widely intruded by mafic dikes. McMone'28' has examined data on more than 900 mafic dikes primarily in southeastern Quebec, Vermont, central and northern New Hampshire, and central western Maine. These data suggest most early Mesozoic dikes were emplaced under conditions of least horizontal stress directed southeast-northwest; whereas, later Mesozoic dikes (Middle Cretaceous) may have been emplaced under conditions of least horizontal stress directed approximately 515 deg W-N15 deg E. Kimberlite dikes of Early Cretaceous age in the Ithaca and Syracuse areas l of New York' tend to strike slightly west of north, suggesting an eastwest least horizontal stress for emplacement control in that area at that time. Essentially simultaneously (100,000,000 to 120,000,000 years ago) with emplacement of the younger White Mountain series plutons in south-central New England and with the intrusion of the younger vest-northwest-trending mafic dikes, more than 15 plugs and alkaline complexes of the Monteregian Hills plutonic series were emplaced in southeastern Quebec, 300 km (200 to 220 mi) northeast of the site. The Monteregian intrusives are distinctly more alkaline than the White Mountain series rocks, and are interpreted to have been enplaced much more rcpidly and forcefully than the White Mountain series intrusives. The Monteregian Hills plutons occur along a 120-km (75 mi) zone which trends east-southeasterly through Montreal, and is located near the eastern edge of the Western Quebec Seismic Zone and nearby the steep gravity gradient (crustal boundary) as shown in Figure 2.5-5. The distribution throughout the site region of evidence of Mesozoic extensional stress regimes in the form of rift basins, central complex intrusives, and mafic dikes, coupled with evidence of a synchronous global l goodynamic episode in Middle Cretaceous time', suggests that the earlier stress regimes in the site region must have been dissipated by Late Mesozoic time. 2.5.1.1.5.4 Cenozoic At the close of the Mesozoic era, the landmass of the region is postulated to have been roughly comparable, physiographically, with that of today. For the past 70,000,000 years the region has been subjected tectonically only to broad arching uplifts followed by deep weathering and erosion. Evidence in Coastal Plain deposits of intermittent erosional cycles is indicative of periods of omergence of these formations, possibly related more to fluctations in sea l level than to tectonic uplift'***. The Appalachian Mountains were largely reduced by erosion before Tertiary time (some 65,000,000 years ago). The removal of this great amount of sediment from the mountain system was accompanied by further uplift and doming. In central New York, erosion continued uninterrupted during Cenozoic time and developed a large river system flowing to the south on a featureless plain'25 As a result of a Amendment 5 2.5-30 2[ August 1979

The last episode in the geologic history of the region was a succession of continental glaciations during Quaternary time (the last 500,000 to 1,000,000 years before present). These several periods of glaciation scoured away the older Cenozoic residual soils to fresh bedrock, and replaced them with deposits of till, ice contact = ands and gravels, sandy outwash deposits, and finally, postglacial marine and lacustrine clay-silt deposits. No evidence has been reported to suggest that any tectonic fault displacement has occurred in Quaternary deposits in the region. The landmass of the region has, however, experienced differential upwarping or rebound, as a result of unloading after the melting and removal of the continental ice,$a,,i> , l 2.5.1.2 Site GeoloRY The site area is defined by a 5-mi radius from the station. 2.5.1.2.1 Phys (Q2raDhY of Site Area The site is located in the Ontario Lowlands physiographic province <i' 2 mi south of Mexico Bay-Lake Ontario. The site area is within the limits of continental glaciation and the higher ancestral level of Lake Ontario (Lake Iroquois), which had shorelines south and east of the site area. The site area is generally flat with low relief, but the terrain is interrupted by a number of steep sided, flat-topped hills. Typical of the Ontario Lowland, the land surface rises to the south from a lake shore elevation of +246 ft (ms1) to over +400 ft (ms1) at the southern edge of the site area. The bedrock surface in the site area slopes to the south at 30 ft/mi. The rock surface is rather flat and controls only the general elevations of the area. The detailed landforms at the site result from Wisconsinan glaciation and postglacial erosion (Figure 2.5-7). The most striking feature of the site area is the strong north-northwest orientation of drainage and topography which reflects the direction of glacial advance. South of Route 104, a swarm of flat topped drumlin hills clearly shows the glacial trend. The drumlins rise 60 to 70 ft above the surrounding land and mo.c top out at the 470-ft elevation. The southern part of the site area ir poorly drained with only three through flowing, low gradient streams. The interdrumlin zones are generally swamps that occur at elevations of 400 to 410 ft. An irregular, 5-sq mi, plateau-like feature east of Scriba is the highest sector of the site area. Elevations in the center of this feature increase to 510 ft. North of Route 104, elevations decrease sharply from +400 ft to +350 ft, and from this point, the ground slopes uniformly to the lake shore. The glacial Amendment 5 2.5-31 2034 jpg August 1979
NYSE G ER NEW HAVLN-NUCLEAR trend is subdued, but still evident in several small drumlins. The topography is generally of very low relief with small rolling hills. This subdued glacial trend, below el 400, reflects the influence of a higher ancestral l stand of Lake Ontario. Sutton, et al2' describe some effects of the ancestral Lake Ontario levels as bevelling of glacial features and the distribution of young sand deposits which they call the Dune stage. Consequently, many of the glacial features prominent south of the plant site are masked or modified within parts of the site area and northward. The area north of Route 104 is well drained with more than ten through flowing streams. The streams diverge from the glacial trend and flow more northerly toward Lake Ontario. The streams are incised 10 to 20 ft. The Lake Ontario shore at Nine Mile Point is unprotected and has the erosional character of a high energy shoreline. The rim of Mexico Bay, east of Nine Mile Point, shows features of an inundated shoreline, such as bay mouth bars, beach ridges, and associated estuarian swamps. 2.5.1.2.2 Stratigraphy of Site Area and Site 2.5.1.2.2.1 Introduction The site area (5-mi radius of the site) is underlain at depth by Grenville-like crystalline rocks of the Precambrian basement. These terranes are l overlain by about 2,000 ft' of Cambrian and ordovician strata, the youngest of which are Cincinnatian in age. Several types of glacial deposits, including lake sediments, immediately overlie the glacially scoured bedrock surface; rock exposures are rare. Tigure 2.5-8 illustrates the stratigraphic setting of the site area and that part of the rock column investigated during this study. The sedimentary sequence rests upon a southward sloping basement surface (30 ft/mi). The cembination of a southerly sloping basement surface and a northerly sloping bedrock surface produces an increase in thickness of the homoclinal Paleozoic section of rocks to the south and southwest. None of the major units are krs*n to pinch out or lose their identity within or near the site area. The basement is a complex series of Greiville-like metamorphic rocks, apparently similar lithologically to equivalen: strata exposed on the Canadian Shield and Adirondack dome. The basement probably is mantled by Cambrian Sandstones (Potsdam and/or Theresa), but the .ection consists predominantly of Ordovician strata. The Ordovician units ste, from oldest to youngest, Black River Limestone Trenton Limestone, Utica Ssale Whetstone Gulf Shale, Pulaski Shale, and the Oswego Sandstone (Tigure 2.>-8). The entire succession changes in gross aspect from limestone througa shale into sandstone; its progradational character is complete ith inclusion of the Late Ordovician portion of Queeneton Formation, a sequenca of red beds overlying the Oswego to the south and west of the site area. Within the site area, that part of the Ordovician sequence investigated by direct methods consists of the lower two-thirds of the Oswego Sandstone and the uppermost strata of the Pulaski Shale (Tigure 2.5-8).

Here the lowermost 50 ft of strata are assigned provisionally to the Whetstone Gulf Shale. 2.5.1.2.2.2 Pulaski-OsweRo Formational Boundary The principal purpose of the stratigraphic investigations was division of the site area section into a number of mappable rock units. Because the section represents a continuum of marine deposition, unit boundaries are assumed to have been essentially horizontal as deposited, except on a very local scale, and, therefore, are considered reliable key horizons. Structure contour maps of the unit boundaries, or key horizons, were constructed and examined for evidence of structural trends. The Pulaski-Oswego boundary was selected as the primary key horizon because of its formational rank and established mappability, based on marked lithologic differences with the Oswego. Bcrings R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 were analyzed and compared on the basis of lithologic properties to exposures of the Pulaski on the Salmon River in Pulaski, New York, and along Route 81, east of the village, and to exposures of the Oswego Sandstone above Bennett Bridge in the Salmon River gorge (Figure 2.5-13), and within the site area (Figure 2.5-9). All four borings bottom in rock that correlates with the type Pulaski, on the basis of an association of distinctive properties including: sandstone color, thickness, and bedding characteristics; sedimentary structures; sandstone-shale ratics; and the frequency of occurrence, thickness, and position within the sandstones of faunal zones. The upper boundary of the Pulaski with the overlying Oswego Sandstone does not crop out along Salmon River, but occurs in the covered interval between the village of Pulaski and Bennett Bridge (Figure 2.5-13); intermittent exposures within that interval indicate that the boundary is transitional'. This l description of the boundary is consistent with the shaly aspect of the lowermost Oswego immediately upstream of Bennett Bridge. Westward and southwestward, however, the lower Oswego is predominantly sandstone and the boundary is distinctly mappable, provided that a sufficient section is recovered to firmly establish the identity of the Pulaski shale. Accordingly, each borehole drilled for the purpose of broad stratigraphic control was advanced several tens of f t into the Pulaski in verification of the boundary. Identification and description of the Pulaski and the Pulaski-Oswego boundary are based on an aggregate thickness of 3,200 ft of Pulaski section from 39 boreholes in which an average of 82 ft and a maximum of 286 ft of Pulaski were penetrated. The distribution of these borings is shown in Figure 2.5-9, a site area base map, and in Figure 2.5-14, a structure contour map of the unit. Structurally, the top of the Pulaski Shale is a gently sloping surface consistent with the marine conditions of its deposition, as modified by Amendment 5 2.5-33 2034 <'TO

Within the areal limits of stratigraphic control, from Boring R-6 cn the east to Nine Mile Point on the vest (Tigure 2.5-9), the Pulaski appears to strike west-northwestward and dips to the south-southwest at about 60 ft/mi. The plant site overlies a gently sloping, mildly negative, ramp-like structural element whose south-southwest dip reflects the local New Haven synclinal feature. The contour patterr. northwest of the site (Figure 2.5-14), based on closely spaced Pulaski control points, indicates abrupt changes in the strike, dip, and dip direction of the Pulaski-Oswego boundary. These changes, together with the pronounced lineation and compression of the pattern, are generally accepted as evidence for faulting. Additional inclined borings in the zone of suspected faulting traversed a crushed zone several tens of ft vide, including a number of intervals of gouge and breccia and confirmed the occurrence of a fault zone. The contour pattern and boring data thus define the position and orientation of the northeastward-trending Demster Structural Zone that occurs on the eastern limb of the Demster Beach anticline; the full extent of both features is unknown. Deaster Structural Zone was exposed by Trench II and further investigated by additional borings. The results are discussed in Appendix 2.5I. Southward deflections of the contour pattern occur vest-northwest and east-southeast of the site. To reestablish the regional strike and correlate with stratigraphic control at Nine Mile Point (Borings 314 L-1 L-4, L-8, T-4-12), the structural contours must turn again to the north (rigure 2.5-14). Stratigraphic control vest of the site indicates a repeated pattern somewhat similar to the southwest trending zone, delineated in Figure 2.5-14. The contour pattern is sinous along regional strike. The Pulaski-Oswego boundary has been shaped into a series of broad, low amplitude folds normal to the strike that trend northeastward and plunge southward. The N 50*E trending fault zone associated with the folding breaks this areal contour pattern (Figure 2.5-14). 2.5.1.2.2.3 Pulaski Shale The Pulaski is a monotonous alternating sequence of black fissile, commonly pyritic shales, and mediumgray to pale-gray, fine - to very fine grained well sorted sandstones and coarse grained siltstones. Alternations are thinly laminated to medium bedded, but thin to very thin bedding is characteristic. Individual sandstones thicker than 2 ft are rare. The sandstone-shale ratio of most cycles and the unit in general is <l.0. The predominance of shale and the absence of green coloration in sandstone are diagnostic of the Pulaski; the latter suggests a fundamental compositional difference between the Pulaski and Oswego Formations and most probably corresponds to change in content of chloritic matter and metamorphic rock fragments. Dark gray silty shale and gray to bluish gray siltstone are subordinate rock types. These occur mainly as lenses and laminae within black shales, or constitute transitional intervals between gray sandstones and overlying black shales. O Amendment 5 2.5-34

NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Each cycle described in the boring logs begins at the sharp interface between a prominent gray sandstone, as thin as 0.5 ft, and the black shale top of the underlying cycle. Generally, the interface is planar and near-horizontal, but grooves, load casts, shale rip-ups, shale plumes, disrupted bedding, sandstone intrusions, or washouts mark the base of many cycles. These are all small scale features, reflecting a relative increase in the energy of the system at the time of their formation. The basal sandstone is gray and fine to very fine grained, but ranges to medium-grained with increasing bed thickness; it may be uniformly textured and megascopically structureless, finely laminated, cross laminated, or interrupted by wavy shale laminae. Both basal sandstones and thinner sandstones higher in the cycle are commonly fossiliferous, and extremely fossiliferous sandstones are quite common. Fossils typically are concentrated (? the bases of sandstones, associated with irregular bedding, small shale clasts, and small shale flasers. Beds of closely packed fossi!w. about 0.1-ft thick, occur locally within the black shales. The faunal assemblage includes crinoid columnals, brachiopods, pelecypods, bryozoans, gastropods, and possibly ostracods; the larger forms commonly are recrystallized, and geode-like structures are not uncommon. The basal sandstone of each cycle may grade upward through a finely laminated zone into a thin to very thin bedded alternating sequence of shale, with lenses, laminae, and minute lead structures of sandstone and siltstone. In any case, shale beds increase in thickness and frequency of occurrence up s cycle at the expense of sandstone. Fyrite is ubiquitous in the black shale interval, and commonly occurs as laminae, nodular masses and fossil - replacements. Non pyritized fossils, mainly brachiopods, are present but quite obscure. The top of the cycle is consistently a sharp boundary with the overlying basal sandstone. In summary, the properties upon which identification of the Pulaski is based are:
- 1. Sandstone-shale ratios <l.0
- 2. Gray, finely textured and structured, commonly fossiliferous sandstones
- 3. Pyritic, black, fissile shale 4 Relatively high natural radioactivity This association of properties, together with the cyclic sequence, served to firmly establish the identity of the Pulaski Shale and its boundary with the Oswego Sandste ?.
The lithologic aspect of the Pulaski is relatively constant, both areally and stratigraphically, and no systematic changes or bases for subdivision were discerned. O j}[ Amendment 5 2.5-35 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 2.5.1.2.2.4 Oswero Sandstone Within the site area, all strata between the top of the Pulaski and the base of the glacial sediments are referred to the Oswego Sandstone. Three hundred it of Oswego recovered in Boring R-19 is the thickest sequence known to occur within 5 mi of the site, and is about 80 percent of the estimated total thickness of the formation8 At the site, directly eastward along strike, the section is only slightly thinner, and any of several deep borings there may be considered reference sections (Figure 2.5-10). The southward dip of the strata and northward slope of the erosion surface bring progressively older beds into subcrop from south to north. This combination of geomorphologic and regional structural trends determined the extent of subsurface mapping. North of the site, lower stratigraphic horizons lie at higher elevations, and borings are collared at lower clevations; control on the lower horizons is relatively dense, but the upper units have been removed by erosion. Onsite and southward, most boreholes did not intersect the lower stratigraphic horizons. However, control on the upper horizons is dense because of the expanded section. Therefore, structure contour maps of the upper, more thoroughly documented horizons were prepared for the site, while the more areally extensive lower stratigraphic horizons were selected to illustrate the structure of the site area. A map of the bedrock surface (Figure 2.5-20) or any expression of the external geometry of the total Oswego is of limited value for stratigraphic and structural analyses. of the area. Stratigraphic analysis of the Oswego Sandstone is based on the examination of more than 13,600 ft of Oswego core from 144 boreholes, including the 39 Pulaski penetrations (Section 2.5.1.2.2.2). The formation is divided according to associations of lithelogic and sedimentary propcrties and on the basis of sequential relationships into five mappable rock- stratigraphic units or zones. They are defined by four selected intraformational marker horizons. The following zones are recognized. Osweno Sandstone - Zone 1 This unit conformably overlies the Pulaski Formation throughout the site area and, in turn, is conformably overlain by Zone 2. Twenty-three complete sections of Zone 1 provide a range in thickness of about 60 to 90 ft and an average thickness of about 80 ft; the unit thins gradually to the north and subcrops beneath the till as indicated in Figure 2.5-12. Zone 1 consists of a medium to very thick bedded succession of pale gray to green sandstones, pale green, dark green, and olive siltstones, and dark gray shales commonly arranged as graded beds up to 10 ft or more in thickness. The basal sandstone typically is predominant within a sedimentary cycle, and ratios of sandstone to siltstone + shale average 2.5; these contrast sharply with those of the pulaski which rarely exceed 1.0. Intermediate rock types such as silty shale, shaly siltstone, and sandy siltstone are present as sequential components of many graded cycles but occur also as distinct units bounded by planar surfaces. f

NYSERG ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Zone 1 sandstones are mainly fine to medium grained and commonly become slightly coarser toward the base. Pale gray sandstones tend to be harder and more calcitic than green sandstones, which tend to be soft, clayey, and noncalcitic. Zone 1 sandstones are typically monotonous structurally but are interrupted locally by wavy to broken shale laminae, very thin distinct zones of siltstone, and thin bedding parallel zones of shale intraclasts. Pronounced cross bedding, lenticular bedding, and other structures relatable to high energy levels are uncommon, particularly in the lower part of the zone, while evenly laminated to thinly laminated beds are quite common throughout. Generally, the top of the Zone 1 cycle consists of a thin intervui of siltstone and dark gray to black shale in sharp contact with the sandstone base of the next higher cycle. Sandstone lenses, laminae, load structures, and wavy bedding characterize these intervals. Evidence of soft sediment deformation is atundant in Zone 1. Features observed include slump folds, overturned slump folds, slump blocks and breccia, contorted banding, broken laminae, and large load casts and sandstone pillows. Slumping involved all lithologic typos but is especially prominent in the siltstones. Slump structures occur elsewhere in the Oswego but are prarsistently present in and characteristic of Zene 1 only. Individual beds or intervals of potential stratigraphic significance include a p rominent shale that occurs about 10 ft below tha Zone 2 boundary. This shale is 7 to 8 ft thick and either massive or sands one- and siltstone-laminated; i: is underlain within several feet by twc or three thin intervals of irregularly bedded fossils and shale clasts. The sequence is fairly Farsistent throughout the site area. In several borings, the basal 10 ft of Zono 1 consists, in part, of one or two thick beds of dark greenish-gray, slump folded, shaly siltstone. In core logging downward, the appearance of these siltstones is followed within a very few ft by the disappearance of greenish beds, a marked decrease in the sandstone-shale ratios and bedding thickness, the reappearance of fossils, and, in most borings, a distinct shift in the gamma log (Borings R-1, R-3, R-11, and R-14). These changes indicate the position of the Pulaski shale-Oswego Zone 1 boundary. Northwestward, toward Nine Mile point, the upper part of Zone 1 becomes increasingly shaly presumably reflecting basinward facies change within the rock unit. Correlations of boreholes to the west (R-22, R-23, R-24, and R-25) and logs of Nine Mile point borings (314, L-1, L-4, L-8) (Appendix 2.5I) indicate that this change is accomplished through replacement of siltstone and other intermediate rock types by dark gray to black shale. Bedding thickness, bed-forms, and the overall aspect of the lower part of the unit remain relatively constant throughout the site area. Osweno Sandstone - Zone 2 This zone conformably overlies Zone 1 and is overlain by Zone 3. With the exception of Boring R-6, where an anomalously thin section of 14 ft suggests an eastward thinning of the unit, Zone 2 is quite uniform in thickness, with a ringe of 25 to 38 ft and an average thickness of 29 ft.

NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Zone 2 sedimentary cycles consist basically of a lower sandstone and an overlying black shale. The cycles have an average thiceness of 4 to 5 ft and an average sandstone shale ratio of about 1.5. Siltstone and related transitional rock types are generally more subordinate, except as lenses, laminae, and very thin bands. Zone 2 comprises several such cycles and the Zone 1-Zone 2 boundary is the base of the lowest cycle conforming to Zone 2 criteria. The sequence is obviousiv regressive on Zone 1, but the boundary is conformable on all but a small scale. The base of each cycle coincides with the sharp, erosional contact between a prominent sandstone and an uppermost shale of the next lower cycle or, where cycles are incomplete, between sandstone and siltstone or sandstone and sandstone. Interrupted cycles and abrupt changes in moda of deposition are revealed where sandstone and shale are in sharp contact along steeply inclined, grooved, or rippled surfaces. These features indicate that Zone 2 has a complex internal geometry. Zone 2 sandstones are gray, pale greenish-gray, or yellowish-gray, fine to medium grained, typically hard and slightly calcitic. A high percencage, including thin beds in the upper shaly part of each cycle, are fossiliferous and commonly extremely fossiliferous. Bioclastic deposits are particu1=rly evident at the base of thicker sandstones, associated with inclined lenticular bedding, relatively coarse sandstone matrix, ragged shale clasts, clay galls, and mud flasers. Many sandstones, up to 3 ft thick, are fossiliferous throughout; more commonly, they consist of several zones, alternately fossiliferous and barren. The upper, more finely textured part of the thicker sandstones may be siitstone laminated, gradational through dark gray or greenish gray siltstone into black shale, or contain saveral planar, wavy, or broken shale laminae. The well developed Zone 2 cycle ends in an interval of black fissile shalo with laminae and lenses of gray sandstone and greenish gray siltstone. Bedding is typically wavy to lenticular, and load structures are common. Pyrite is prominent at many sandstone shale boundaries. Diagnostic criteria for Zone 2, in addition to its stratigraphic position, are:
- 1. Sandstone-shale couplets
- 2. Washout structures
- 3. Current-bedded bioclastic deposits The Zone 2-Zone 3 boundary is placed at the top of the highest prominently fossiliferous cycle in this sequence.

Given a section in which Zones 2 and 4 are recognizable, Zone 3 becomes mappable. Zone 3 is lithologically similar to Zone 2, consisting mainly of gray to greenish-gray, fine grained, hard sandstones and black shales, with a sandstone-shale ratio of about 1.5. Bedding and other sedimentary structures are as described for Zone 2, with the exception of features relatable to channel formation which are relatively uncommon in Zone 3. The definition of the base or this zone is approached from down section by determining the top of Zone 2. Borings on the site indicate an average thickness of about 10 ft for Zone 3. The unit maintains this thickness within a 2-mi radius of the site, but could not be differentiated in Boring R-3 and appears to lose its identity southward. The combined thickness of Zones 3 and 2, however, remains constant (about 37 ft) and the loss of the Zone 3-Zone 2 boundary presents no problem in extending correlations southvcrd from the site. To the northeast (Boring R-6), Zone 3 thickens to approximately 25 ft at the expense of Zone 2. Here, too, the combined thickness of Zones 3 and 2 is 37 ft and the Zone 3-Zone 2 interval is the designated unit. Northwestward, at Boring 314 (fitzPatrick Nuclear Power Station), the stratigraphic interval bounded by Zone 4 and Zone 1 is about 55 ft thick and considerably more shaly. Criteria for recognition of the Zone 3-Zone 2 boundary are not applicable and the designated unit is the total interval, as at Boring R-3. North of the site, most borings collar in Zones 1 or 2, as the younger units have been removed by erosion.

Zone 4 sandstone / shale ratios generally lie betucen 1.0 and 2.0, a range similar to that of Zono 3 but considerably less than the majority of Zone 5 ratios. Additionally, the prevalence of burrowed strata and indistinct lithologic boundaries makes this unit identifiable even out of stratigraphic context. P4cause of its distinctive association of properties and high stratigraphic pc51 tion, Zone 4 provides reliable stratigraphic control at relatively shallow depths. The average thickness of Zone 4, based on a large number of complete sections of the unit, is 45 to 50 ft; its range of thickness is quite small, and no systematic variation in Zone 4 thickness is apparent. Consequently, reconstruction of the tcp of Zone 4 beyond the limit of Zone 5 cover is considered valid. Figure 2.5-15 shows the distribution of Zone 4, both in subsurface and subcrop, as well as its absence in the vicinity of Borings R-2, R-5, R-9, and R-16 where a local structural feature has resulted in the removal of Zone 4 by erosion (Section 2.5.1.2.2.2). The vide extent of Zone 4 in subcrop is consistent with its appreciable thickness, high stratigraphic position, and the relationship between regional dip and bedrock slope. Similarly, the shape and position of the Zone 4-Zone 5 boundary in subcrop are consistent with the regional dip, bedrock slope, and structural shape of the boundary. The entire zone may be described in terms of five to ten major cycles of sedimentation, each beginning at the sharply defined base of a prominent sandstone bed. Typically, this sandstone is greenish gray, fine grained, slightly calcitic, and contains one or more very thin zones of bedded shale clasts. Even, wavy, and disrupted laminae of black shale are also common, as are somewhat vider intervals of thin lamination, cross-stratification, and lenticular bedding. Fossils do occur associated with irregular bedding and shale clasts, but are relatively rare. Each najor sandstone passes upward through thinly bedded rhythmic alternations of sandstona, siltstone, and shale to the base of the next higher major cycle. The transition is accceplished through a gradational increase in the thickness and frequency of occurrence of the finer clastics at the expense of the sandstone. Bedding in the upper part of the cycle may be quite distinct, revealing several thin sequences of greenish-gray sandstone, dark gray to dark greenish-gray siltstone, and black fissile shale. Characteristic sedimentary structures include ripple-marked surfaces, broken shale laminae, small shale ripups, load structures, small scale slump structures, and wavy, lenticular, and flaser bedding. The uppermost black fissile shale is typically very thin and in sharp irregular contact with the basal sandstone of the next higher major cycle; obviously some shale and siltstone has been removed from the top of each cycle. The well bedded Zone 4 cycle is less typical than the cycle in which much of the internal detail has been destroyed by burrowing organisms. In this case, the cycle consists of a basal sandstone, as described above, overlain by alternations of sandstone and intervals of burrow mottled and thoroughly mixed sandstone, siltstone, and shale; these mixed zones night well be described as sandy mudstones.

Structure contours on the top of Zone 4 (Figures 2.5-16 and 2.5-17) show a pattern virtually identical to those drawn on the Pulaski boundary and on the top of Zone . (Figures 2.5-14 and 2.5-15).

However, thickness data for this unit have little stratigraphic significance because the unit is incomplete. An average sandstene saale ratio is relatively meaningless for the same reason. Typical ratios for the explored part of Zone 5 range from 5.0 to 10.0 and ratios of 25.0 and greater a:.e not uncommon.

NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR sequence of sandstone beds ends (upward) in an interval, generally thinner than 2 ft, of dark greenish-gray siltstone and black fissile shale or olive blocky shale. The shaly top of the sequence is normally irregularly bedded, with laminae, lenses, and load structures of sandstone; the top of the shale is typically a sharp sculptured boundary with the next higher sandstone sequence. In places, the shale has been scoured out and the sequence ends in siltstone. Zone 5 sandstones show many process related primary structures. Of these, cross stratification of various magnitudes is most prominent, from that which appears as angular planar bedding in core, to microcross laminae and irregular, lenticular bedding. Closely associated with these bed forms, and particularly with lenticular bedding, are increases in grain size to medium or coarse, shale-clast and clay gall accumulatione, rounded pebbles of sandstone and siltstone, and bioclastic deposits. Lag deposits of this description define channels and washout structures which, in turn, define the base of sedimentary cycles. Siltstone laminated to finely laminated sandstone is equally as common as cross stratification; these intervals are fine grained and horizontally bedded to very slightly inclined. Inclined opposed bedding planes are not uncommon and indicate vectoral changes in the process of sedimentation. Slump folding occurs locally, involving siltstone and silty sandstones, as do thin zones of burrowed dark gray siltstone; neither feature is common in Zone 5. Dolomite occurs as pink to tan laminae, wavy bards, and irregular and ovoid masses throughout Zone 5. The irregular and avoid masses are arranged in bedding parallel zones but are transected by bedding; thus, they appear to be secondary in origin. Dolomite is confined to Zone 5 and is diagnostic of the unit. Additional structures observed in the site trench (Appendix 2.3H) and in outcrop include: sedimentary troughs, commonly several ft acrass, with current rippled surfaces; massive sandstone lenses of comparable magnitude; interference ripples and flat-topped current ripples; orthocone cephalopods, both as bioclastic concentrations of small individuals and as soittary forms up to 3 ft in length; large-scale cross stratification; and shale clast conglomerattis and shale pinchouts. The higher points on the Zone 5 bedrock surface are glacially striated, and the till and derivative clayey silt have been injected well into the bedrock along joints, fractures, and bedding surfaces. 2.5.1.2.2.3 Stratiaraphic Surnary The principal aspects of the stratigraphy of the site area and their implications for its geologic history are as follows: The Pulaski Formation, immediately underlain by the Whetstone Culf Shale and at greatt:r depth by a thick sequence of marine shelf carbonates and shales, is the highest major unit in which sandstone is subordinate.

As uplift and marine regression accelerated, the basal strata of the Oswego Formation began to offlap the pulaski, the transition corresponding to the appearance in Zone 1 of thick bedding, green coloration, an overall increase in grain size, and the virtual disappearance of fossils. The prevalence of slump structures and poorly sorted lithologic types indicate that the basal Oswego was deposited rapidly as an influx of terrigenous detritus on the shallow marine shelf. Marine processes were not entirely effective in distributing the materials because of high rates of deposition, and adjustments to the depositional slope were effected by slumping of the unconsolidated deposits. This process generated turbidity flows from which sediment was redeposited as graded sequences, with settlement from suspension as an important mode of deposition. These strata were offlapped in turn by those of Zones 2 and 3. The appearance in the section of this sequence corresponds to a further increase in overall grain size and reflects a substantial increase in energy levels. Current bedded coquinites, shale clast conglomerates, washout structures, and a rarity of siltstone identify the dominant mode of deposition as bed load transport. Intercalaced shale beds possibly are related to periodic advances of the strand, or tu changes in the availability of sand size detritus. Zones 2 and 3 probably were deposited in a shallow subtidal setting characterized by frequent variations in current vectors and velocities. Zone 3 reflect < a somewhat less rigorous setting than Zone 2 and is transitional to and offlapped by Zone 4. Zone 4 consists largely of thin to medium beds of sandstone and burrow-mottled mudstone in cyclic arrangement, with a variety of process related structures to indicate alternating periods of high energy and low energy in which bed load transport alternated with settlement from surpension as the depositional mode. These strata are interpreted as mixed tidal flat deposits on the basis of bedding patterns and biogenic and sedimentary structures. With continued retreat of the shoreline, the mixed tidal flat environment was replaced in the section by a thick sandstone sequence with complex internal geometry imparted by small and large scale primary structures. These include cross stratification, plunging troughs, washouts, scour pits, ripple marked surfaces, shale clast carpets, lensoid channel fillings, and various combinations of these structures; in association, these features describe an intertidal setting characterized by shoaling conditions in which sedimentary materials were acted upon by waves, fluvial currents, and tidal flow. Additional strata of Zone 5 aspect and origin were deposited and then offlapped by the Queenston fluvial sequence, completing the transition from marine to nonmarine sedimentation. The Oswego-Oueenston transition is not preserved in the vicinity of the site area but is well exposed along the lake shore farther to the west. The local section is progradational from bottom to top and records the progressive marine withdrawal from the site area and surroundings in Late Ordovician time.

Project investigations substantiate this interpretation. 2.5.1.2.3 Structural GeoloRY Site Area and Site 2.5.1.2.3.1 Introduction l Earlier studies of the Oswego Sandstone by Patchen,'s' and investigations by Dames and Moore for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Units 1 and 2 and the J. A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Plant (1964-1975) concluded that the geology of the Oswego-Mexico area is essee.ially undeformed, and flat-lying strata of the Oswego Sandstone occur beneath the glacial cover. Locally, minor folds, popups, and small scale faults are known as in the Nine Mile Point area,96,97,. Stone & Webster'97,. Initial regional studies l undertaken for the project included four core borings throughout the site area to provide of an areal stratigraphic correlation, indications of unsuspected bedrock structures, and an aid in placing the site borings in the site area stratigraphic column. A detailed analysis of rock core was the basis for establishing the Pulaski/ Oswego formational boundary in Borings R-2, R-3, and R-4 (Section 2.5.1.2.2). The boundary is a relatively uniform, southerly dipping surface over much of the site area (Figures 2.5-11 through 2.5-13). Stratigraphic correlation of core obtained from the four initial site area borings (R-1 through R-4), combined with mapping of scattered bedrock outcrops (Figure 2.5-9), recognized approximately 120 ft of elevation differential of the Oswego /Pulaski boundary between Borings R-1 and R-2 (Figure 2.5-13); this elevation differential could represent a fault, a fold, or a formational pinchout. Boring R-2 is on the up side of a feature, and further' investigations were desirable. Data on the cooling tower fault zone, located at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Plant', indicated that this small fold and associated fault might extend eastward; if the zone continued on trend, it would occur in the general vicinity of Boring R-2 (Figure 2.5-9). Consequently, to clarify whether this possible fault or an en echelon system traversed the site area, and also to establish additional control points on the Oswego /Pulaski boundary, five additional borings (R-5 through R-9) were drilled south and east of Boring R-2 (Figure 2.5-9). All five borings penetrated the boundary and provided additional data on the areal structure, rock column, and the areal strike and dip of the Oswego /Pulaski beds. These data, combined with information from outcrops in the Tug Hill sector, subsurface borings from the Nine Mile Point project (Borings 314, L-1, L-4, L-8 in Figure 2.5-9), and the site area, provided the basis for the west east Section C-C' snown in Figure 2.5-13. A stratigraphic analysis of all available boring data throughout the site area and site, confirmed an elovation di'!erential between the Oswego /Pulaski boundary in Borings R-1 and R-2. Data from Borings R-5 through R-9 eliminated the possibility of an east-west-trending structure (continuation of Cooling Tower fault or zone at Nine Mile Point), and provided a more comprehensive 2.5-44 August 1979 Amendment 5 {,j g j ,j
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR understanding of the subsurface geometry of the various stratigraphic zones as described in Section 2.5.1.2.2.2. The interpretation of the new data established that a northeast-trending feature must account for the stratigraphic offset. Further confirmation of the feature, trend / origin of the stratigraphic offset, and geometry of this structural zone is under investigation and discussed in Appendix 2.5I. Additional borings (some inclined) and geophysical measurements (gamma logs) have subsequently identified a steep northwestward-dipping fault zone approximately 50 ft wide consisting of two known offsets with the west side up, which together with broad folding has resulted in a net stratigraphic displacement of approximately 120 ft (Figures 2.5-13 and 2.5-16). This deformation is herein designated the Demster Structural Zone associated with the Demster Beach anticline (Figure 2.5-9). 2.5.1.2.3.2 Tectonic Structures Subsurface stratigraphic correlation, coupled with bedrock exposure, indicate a general bedding strike of N60'W to N70'W and a regional dip of about one-half degree to the southwest. This is analogous with strikes and dips reported by Patchen", and Dames and Moore6'. Section C-C' (Figure 2.5- l
- 13) parallels this regional strike, while Section A-A' (Figure 2.5-11) closely parallels the regional dip direction.
An analysis of the Oswego /Pulaski boundary structural contour map (Figure 2.5-
- 14) demonstrates that the regional strike and dip is somewhat variable (Section 2.5.1.2). Contours were also constructed for the top of the Oswego Sandstone Zones 1, 3, and 4. The contour maps of the Oswego /Pulaski boundary and the top of Zones 1 and 4 are included herein (Figures 2.5-14 through 2.5-16).
The structural contour maps indicate the three-marker horizons: Oswego /Pulaski boundary, top of Zone 1, and top of Zone 4 are sinuous and delineate southwestward plunging synclines and anticlines. The New Haven and Nine Mile sites are on similar structural contour embayments. The subsurface contours demonstrate the near-horizontal altitude of the beds beneath the plant site (Figure 2.5-17) on the top of Zone 4 Northwest of the site, in the vicinity of Demster and parallel to the northeast alignment of a portion of Catfish Creek, the Oswego /Pulaski boundary structural contours show a marked deviation from the regional trend. All four marker horizons in the overlying Oswego Sandstone show a similar clustering of the contours. Subsurface data show a marked strike change, i.e., from northwest to northeast, and also a change in dip direction from southwest to southeast. This structural feature, the Demster Structural Zone, is discussed in Appendix 2.5I. Stratigraphic correlation with borehole data from the Nine Mile Point and FitzPatrick Nuclear stations (borings L-1, L-4, L-8, and 314) show that both Amendment 5 2.5-45 ') ( e August 1979 L V )' jf[.
NYSERG ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR the New Haven site and the Nine Mile site overlie approximately the same structural contours for each contoured horizon (Figures 2.5-14 through 2.5-16). Ccnsequently, the northeast-trending Demster Structural Zone was investigated by cored borings for a counterpart structure of similar trend on the west between Nine Mile Point and the New Haven site (Borings R-2, R-5, R-16, and P-5). The resultant structural contour maps and cross-sections (Figures 2.5-13 through 2.5-16) do not indicate the existence of a fault zone on the western limb of the Demster Beach anticline. The site area joint pattern shown in Figure 2.5-9 indicates two primary joint sets: N45degW and N70degE, with ve:tical dips, and a secondary joint set N50degE, also with vertical dip. Mineralized joints are rare and occur only in the core of borings in vicinity of the Demster Structural Zone. At Nine Mile point, two joint sets, similar to the primary joints at the New Haven site are recognized: N25degW to N50degW and N69degE to N80degE, with high angle dips. Joints exposed at the top of Oswego sandstone (Zone 5) in the Trench I Excavation (Appendix 2.5H) exhibit trends of N66degE, NO3degE and N30degW to N50degW; they are predominantly vertical and generally widely spaced. Joints, in general, are videly spaced, and only locally, such as at Pleasant Point and the Mack Road Quarry, does the intensity increase. Joints do not persist with depth; within the Oswego Formation they are usually confined to individual sandstone beds. Rarely do joints traverse shale layers; however, in the shaly zones, horizontal partings are common. Within the Demster Structural Zone jointing commonly traverses individual sandstone, siltstone, and shale beds. In the Pulaski Formation, cropping out along the Salmon River, primary joints trend N44degE and N48degW with high-angle dip. Secondary joint trends were N90degE and N73degW. Joints are generally continuous from sandstone to shale. Calcite mineralization occurs locally, filling. joints and associated small-scale faults. Joints in the site area are generally related to *he areal folding / faulting such as the Demster Point anticline and New Haven syncline (Figure 2.5-9). Joint Set (II) N50degE and Set (III) N45degW are parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the main folding trend and originated due to extensional forces. Joint Set (I) N70degE and Set ( V), NO3degE, (most abundant joints, Trench I) probably originated due to shearing forces. The joint set trending N73degW recognized at Nine-Mile Point and at Salmon River (Pulaski Formation) is a minor trend and apparently unrelated to the main N50degE deformational trend. Cored borings (S- and G- series) throughout the site (Figure 2.5-33) intersect typical joints as known in the Oswego and Pulaski beds.

Mapping of Trench I across the site (Appendix 2.5H) showed no faults, slickensided joint surfaces, mineralized joints, or small-scale nontectonic folds at the rock surface of the Oswego Sandstone. 2.5.1.2.3.3 Minor Geologic Structures Minor tectonic and/or nontectonic structural features are recognized along the southern shore section of Lake Ontario and in the site area. Several such features have been the basis of detailed geological investigations over the past decade. The features have been termed pcpaps, pressure ridges or buckles, folds, and postglacial brittle deformation. The significance and occurrence of the features were reviewed in the Site Confirmation Reports,'co8 and described as structural features requiring further study l in the site area. An explanation of the features and their' probable origin is given in Appendix 2.5A.2. Within the site area, three minor geologic structures are known from earlier investigations at the J. A. FitzFatrick and Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Plants. All of these features in the vicinity of Nine Mile Point trend approximately N78degW and are shewn on Figure 2.5-9. At the J. A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, a Teepee Fold striking N78degW was exposed in the foundation excavation of the Oswego Sandstone <. This l feature predates the last ice advance and has experienced no movement since the retreat of the ice. Evidence of residual stresses was absent or negligible'. The Teepee Fold has also been called the Drainage Ditch fault l (feature, structure) in Dames & Moore's 1978 report, and is categorized as i being similar in age and movement to the Cooling Tower fault'. I The Intake / Discharge fault <*F5 and the Barge Slip fault' are part of the l Same structure or are en-echelon structures located north of the J. A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (Figure 2.5-9). Conclusions resulting from a detailed investigation of the Intake / Discharge fault by Stone & Webster' l are:
- 1. Total displacement on the fault is approximately 17 inches with up to 4 inches of gouge
- 2. The fault displacement dies out within approximately 1,500 ft and resolves into a set of joints Amendment 5 2.5-47 August 1979

- 3. The absence of montmorillonite or halloysite in the fault gauge and adjoining shale strongly suggest that there has been no hydrothermal alteration as would be expected if the fault was associated with deep-seated tectonic activity
- 4. The secondary calcite deposited in joints along the fault is not sheared or crushed l An investigation of the Barge Slip fault by Stone 8 Webster' indicated the following:
- 1. The Barge Slip fault, a normal fault, is part of an en echelon system (70 to 100 ft wide) that trends N73deg-80degW and is at least 2,000 ft long
- 2. The faults have a very minimum of offset (6 inches to 3.5 ft)
- 3. The overlying glacial deposits are not tectonically deformed; 4 The fluid trapped as inclusions in calcite suggest a burial depth of 1.7 km or greater
- 5. The faulting apparently occurred during Middle-Paleozoic time During excavation for the Cooling Tower at Nine Mile Point Unit No. 2 in 1976-1977, Dames 8 Moore reported finding a small scale monoclinal fold with fault displacement along the crestal axis. This fault trends about N77degW and has a displacement of up to 3 ft which reportedly persists to some 200 ft in l depth'. The fold amplitude decreases eastward as does the fault displacement and becomes rather insignificant in a test pit located south of the FitzPatrick plant. This feature, called the Cooling Tower fault zone by Dames 8 Moore, wa? investigated in great detail by borings, trenching, mapping, in situ measurements, and laboratory studies during 1976-1978. The extensive investigations by Dames and Moore on the Cooling Tower fault and l Drainage Ditch fault resulted in the following conclusions':
- 1. Both strike-slip and normal fault movement occurred along the Cooling Tower fault
- 2. Displacements are due to very old geologic processes
- 3. Buckling along the Cooling Tower fault is attributed to changes in the bedrock stress field induced by glacial loading and facilitated by the anisotropy of the bedrock 4 Minor deformation of the young, unconsolidated glacial sediments is attributed to a high fluid pressure in the bedrock related to changes in the level of Lake Iroquois.

None of the geologic structures known at the site represent a seismic hazard All three minor structural features at Nine Mile Point and FitzPatrick Nuclear Plants are concluded to be old, inactive, not capable in accordance with Appendix A, 10CFR100', and of no effect on the plant design'98,. Some l implications of this fault / fold trend (approximately N78degW) were investigated at the New Haven site as described in Section 2.5.1.2.3.1 and Appendix 2.5H. No similiar features or indication of such features (folds / pop-ups, small normal or strike-slip faults) were recognized during the extensive New Haven site investigations nor were any such features exposed in the 982-ft long bedrock inspection Trench I exposing the Oswego Sandstone (Appendix 2.5H). This trench was alitned N38degE, across the trend of the Nine-Mile Poin: featares.
At Pleasant Point on Lake Ontario, unusual crescentic joint patterns and closely spaced joints trending N70degW occur. No effsets or slickensides were observed; some surface blocks of the Oswego Sandstone are tilted. A somewhat similar type of feature occurs along the west side of Little Salmon Creek, south of Arthur, New York (Figure 2.5-9). The sandstone blocks are tilted and closely jointed in a manner similar to those near a popup, however, these features are only partially exposed in stream beds and may not be in place; glacial debris of the bank masks the trend and possible extension. No deformation of the thin overburden is evident at either the Pleasant Point or Arthur site. Both the Oswego and Pulaski Formations contain many primary sedimentary structural features. These structures are well preserved and are excellent indicators of paleoflow and depositional environment'94,958 These data were l referred ta in dividing the Oswego into five zones in the site area (Section 2.5.1.2.2.4). Paleocurrent studies'9"' demonstrate a strong l northward paleocurrently trend for this prograding environment. 2.5.1.2.4 Surficial GeoloRy 2.5.1.2.4.1 Eite Area The distribution of rock and soil materials in the site area is shown in Figure 2.5-18. Bedrock outcrops are rare, and the Oswego Sandstone is concealed by loose to compacted sediments mainly deposited during the latest recession of the continental ice sheet (some 12,000 years ago). These sediments consist primarily of lodgment and ablation till, sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams, and sand, silt, and clay deposited in proglacial lakes. These units are discussed in sequence of deposition. Stratified Sediments Beneath Till Several borings encountered as much as 12 ft of stratified drift lying directly on bedrock and beneath the glacial till. No surface exposures of such material were recognized. In the subsurface, they are presumed to be discontinuous but common, particularly in shallow bedrock basins or otherwise 2034 546 Amendment 5 2.5-49 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR protected locations. The ice sheet readvanced into imponded proglacial lake waters, and erosion of the lake sediments was extensive, but was not complete everywhere. Glacial Till In addition to shaping the bedrock topography, glaciation accounted for most of the drift, either directly as glacial till, or indirectly as stratified drift. The character of glacial till is determined by its grain-size distribution, composition, and mode of deposition. Stratigraphic and sedimentologic studies that relate tills in the nearby region to patterns described in the site area include the work of Kaisero','o2', Salomono** , and Mooreo"> . An extensive cover of lodgment till mantles most of the site area and is widely exposed at the surface. This material consists of rock fragments (mostly local origin) and glacial flour which was deposited beneath actively moving ice. Due to this process of deposition and subsequent glacial loading, lodgment till is typically firm, dense, and impermeable. As revealed in deep exposures, the unweathered till is gray with a sandy, silty matrix and contains about 10 percent clay. Rock fragments in the till reflect the t.errane traversed by the ice shortif before reaching the point of deposition. Consequently, the till variations tend to involve a downflow blurring of bedrock contacts. On the site, fragments of Oswego Sandstone dominate with very minor proportions of red sandstone, carbonate, and metamorphic rocks. In the southern part of the site area, the proportion of red sandstones increases markedly, giving the till a characteristic red color. Postglacial weathering has penetrated 12 to 20 ft producing a characteristic weathering profile. In this zone, the till is oxidized, with a yellow-brown to brown eclor. Calcium carbonate has been leached from the uppermost few ft of the profile by downward circulating ground water. Lodgment till is marked by distinctly drumlinized topography, involving long, parallel, elliptical hills composed primarily of lodgment till. These drumlins are part of a drumlin field in central New York, which has been the subject of studies by Fairchildon', Saltero6', M111eror,'o** , Mullero, and Griecoo'. Drumlin orientations indicate that the last ice sheet to cover the site area spread southeast out of the Ontario basin with flow lines diverging toward the Oneida basin. Subsequent deposition covered the lodgment till in extensive interdrumlin areas. The surficial map pattern (Figure 2.5-18) of lodgment till clearly indicates' the dominance of drumlin topography. Subsequent erosional and depositional processes modified the form of many of the drumlins. Notably, drumlins that stood above the wave base in proglacial Lake Iroquois were subjected to winnowing. The result is that many drumlins in the southern part of the site trea are relatively flat-topped in the elevation range at about 470 ft above sea level, and are fringed by a lee-side skirt of stratified sand and gravel. 2 cts 4 347 Amendment 5 2.5-50 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR A veneer of ablation till was deposited in places upon the lodgment till by melting of the transporting glacial ice.

Areas o. ablation till and end moraine curve obliquely across the drumlinized landscafe in discontinuous arcs that record the oscillatory shifting of the glar.er terminus during wastage of the ice sheet.

Topography is irregular and undulatory, involving scattered low knobs and ridges that tend to be elongate parallel to the former ice margin. Several belts of morainal deposits are shown in Figure 2.5-18. Belts north of the site seem to reflect a minor readvance of the glacier, as indicated by a significant change in the direction of ice flow from that recorded to the south. In these areas of end moraine, throughout the northern part of the site, large blocks of Oswego Sandstone are notable components of the till. This is predictable becausa the ice sheet here flowed over a gently scarped landscape of Oswego Sandstone. In places, however, the abundance of large blocks is abnormal and suggests the possioility that short-lived deglaciation, prior to the final readvance, permitted unloading and dilation of rock joints, thus facilitating quarrying when the ice readvanced. Outwash and Kame Gravel Gravel was deposited by streams flowing from the ice margin throughout the site area. However, due to impounding at the ice margin, no typical outwash plain is developed. Rather, proglacial deltaic gravels are of limited extent, such as south of Jones Corners in Scriba (Figure 2.5-18). Steeply-dipping foreset beds are well developed, consisting of clean, well sorted pebble to cobble gravel, in places interbedded with coarse sand. Locally, ground water has firmly indurated the gravels with calcium carbonate cement. Lake Sediments Withdrawal of the ice sheet from the site area was followed by impounding of proglacial melt water. Until the ice sheet withdrawal permitted escape of melt watert north of the Adirondack Mountains, the outflow was eastward into the Mohawk liver near Rome. The former lake, controlled by this outlet, was one of tr a last in a succession of lake stages ancestral to present Lake Ontario and is called Lake Iroquois. Because of postglacial rebound following removal of the ice sheet, shore features of Lake Iroquois now stand several hundred ft above their original level and rise in elevation northward. The Lake Iroquois shoreline is marked by beach deposits just east of the site area, and by scattered bars ar.d shoal deposits to the south in Volney and Palermo Towns. Except for these features, the entire site area was below the upper limit of Lake Iroquois and, therefore, subject to erosional and depositional modification by wave processes. 2034 54g Amendment 5 2.5-51 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Erosional activity af Lake Iroquois is recorded by surf-winnowed, flat topped, gravel-skirted drum? ins in the southern part of the site area. The Lake Iroquois sediment a cumulation is widely represented by a blanket of well sorted and stratified sand, silt, and clay deposited in the interdrumlin lowlands. This material tends to be sandy on the lower drumlin slopes, while at a distance from the slopes and from former ice margins, sand interfingers with laminated silt and clay. Withdrawal of the ice border, north of the Adirondacks, resulted in an l ephemeral lake stage lower than Lake Iroquois, identified by sutton et al2' as the Sandy Creek stage (12,000 years B.P.). Because of postglacial rebound of the Lake Iroquois outlet, shoreline features of the Sandy Creek stage, which are well above the present Lake Ontario near the outlet, pass below the present Ontario shoreline in .e south. Limited remnants of the Sandy Creek stage are mapped southwest of Pulaski in the northeastern corner of the site area. Other beach deposits comprise baymouth barriers and spits along the present Ontario shoreline and a se iss of parallel beach ridges on the outer margin of Butterfly Swamp (Figure 2.5-18). Wind-deposited Sand Drainage of Lake Iroquois left e/. tensive areas of loose sand exposed to the wind. Consequently, many soil profiles possess a thin cap of structureless silt loess and fine sand deposited by the wind. However, only in the exposed east shore areas bordering Lake Ontario was the sand supply sufficiently enduring or the wind source capable of constructing dunes large enough to be shown in Figure 2.5-18. Because the sand source for some of the dunes at the southeast corner of Lake Ontario seems to have been beyond the present l shoreline, Sutton et al'928 inferred that the older d'.nes record a time of lower lake level in the Ontario Basin (called the Dune stage) before uplift of the outlet to its present level. peat and Muck Upwarping of the Ontario Basin, with uplift of tne outlet in the interval since the Dune stage, has resulted in inundating the mouths of rivers along the south shore of Lake Ontario. The action of long-shore currents has closed off many of these basins and the result is development of estuarine swamps. More extensive, however, are the partly enclosed basins between drumlins isolated by kames and end moraine arcs, which are vestiges of former Lake Iroquois. A few contain small ponds, but most have passed from a lake phase to a muckland phase because of the combination of basin filling and either natural or artificial deepening of outflow channels. Organic sediments overlying lake sediments in these basins range from a few ft to a few tens of ft of peat and muck that record the succession of postglacial environments. Alluvial Deposits Most strervs/ creeks in the site area occupy courses which were deternined by inherited glacial topography. Postglacial time has been adequate for only minor modification of stream patterns. Only the larger streams have developed Amendment 5 2.5-52 4h August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR sufficiently extensive alluvial flats to be shown in Figure 2.5-18. The stream deposits generally reflect the local materials. The courses of most streams have cut into areas of ablation and lodgment till, but only rarely to bedrock (rigure 2.5-9). Consequently, the alluvial deposits tend to be coarse lag gravels derived di?:ectly from the till and transported only under flood conditions. 2.5.1.2.4.2 Site The types and distribution of the surficial deposits on site are shown in Figure 2.5-19. With the exception of embankment fills and recent stream alluvium, the surficial deposits are of glacial origin. Most of the major classes of gincial deposits are represented, including lodgement and ablation tills, ice contact and deltaic sands and gravels, and lacustrine silts and clays as describ.d for the site area (Section 2.5.1.2.4.1). The predominant surficial deposit on the site is glacial till with lodgement and ablation tills about equally represented. Lodgement Till Lodgement till generally overlies bedrock and consists of a very dense, relatively impermeable, skip-graded material ranging from sandy and gravelly silt to silty and gravelly fine sand. It is the principal constituent of several small drumlins and many drumlinoid knobs and ridges. Most of the latter festures, have a core of lodgement till and are blanketed with ablation till. Locally stratified fluvial and lacustrine deposits occur sandwiched between the base of the lodgement tf'l and the top of rock. The origin of these deposits is discussed in Section 2.5.1.2.4.1. At the site, these stratified materials were encountered in Borings S-2, S-8, S-26, B-3, and B-5 and consisted of interbedded fine sand, silt, and silty clay up to 12 ft thick. Ablation Till The ablation deposits overlie ledgement till at lower ground surface elevations and generally underlie lake or kame deposits. Abalation till ranges from 3 to 15 ft thick, and in shallow bedrock areas, such as in the vicinity of the trench, is found directly overlying bedrock (Appendix 2.5H). Ablation till is less dense and more granular than the lodgement till, nonstratified, brown in color rather than gray-brown or gray, and ranges in composition from silty coarse to fine sand with up to 25 percent silt to a sandy gravel with as little as 10 percent silt. Areas of cobble and boulder concentrations are common in the ablation till and locally occur as nests in a sand or silty sand matrix. Boulders and slabs are principally tabular to rectangular blocks of Oswego Sandstone, and their origin is discussed in Section 2.!.l.2.4.1. 4 T90 Amendment 5 2.5-53 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Glacial Lake Deposits Deposits of at least two short lived glacial lakes occur within the site. The relations of these lakes to late glacial, low level stages of glacial Lake Iroquois are discussed in Section 2.5.1.2.4.1. The higher level lake had a wave base in the range of el 350 to 360 (ms1). Stagnant ice occupied much of the site during the high-level stage so that the lake deposits are confined to the borders of the lake basin. These sediments consist of silty fine sand and stiff to hard interbedded silt and silty clay. Shallow water deposits of silt and fine sand were lain down during the melting of the stagnant ice associated with the high level lake stage. The lake level gradually fell to the low level stage during this meltirg, maintaining a shallow pond bordering the ice margin in which the silts and fine sands were deposited. The low level lake depos ts consist of a typical glacial lake sequence of graded sediments. The coarser materials at the top consist of fine sand and silty fine sand, with materials becoming increasingly finer with depth, grading from sandy silt to a soft, silty clay at the base. Kame Deposits Several kame and related ice contact deposits occur on the site, as shnun in Figu e 2.5-19. A special effort was made to locate kame deposits to be util aed as sources of onsite granular borrow materials. Kame terraces occur along the west side of the valley of Butterfly Creek and are associated with the high level lake stage. Although included as lake deposits on the broad site area map (Figure 2.5-18), the materials are partly kame deposits and consist primarily of fine sand with some silt and contain ao clays; the deposits display characteristic kame terrace forms as shown in Figure 2.5-19. Just west of the northern kame terrace is a feature mapped as a kame delta
- Figure 2.5-19), also associated with the high level lake stage. Because the delta was bounded by ice on the south and by an actively melting ice mass on the north during deposition, it was unable to develop into a normal deltaic form. The bottomset beds of the delta merge with the lake depos.ts to the west. Postglacial erosion by the unnamed creek flowing through the site has destroyed the former continuity between these bottomset beds and the foreset beds of the delta proper.
Apparently, the stream that supplied the delta with sediments flowed through the topographic saddle between the northern kame terrace and the delta. Ccarse gravels occur at this location. Several small kames occur at scattered locations in the northern portion of the site. Two were explored by test pits. The kame adjacent to the delta bottomset deposit consists primarily of fine sand. The kame noted in Figure jql

Loess Loess occurs as a nearly ubiquitous layer that blankets most of the site. It consists of a yellow-brown, silty-fine sand or sandy-coarse silt from 2 to 3ft thick (Section 2.5.1.2.4.1). The loess has been significantly altered since deposition. A humus layer (topsoil) has been developed in the upper part in the woods and fields. Locally, frost action has worked gravel and even cobbles and boulders into the lower parts. When saturated, loess experiences a dramatic loss in strength and trafficability. Embankment fill and stream alluvium consti*ute a verv small proportion of the total surficial deposits (Figure 2.5-19). 2.5.1.2.5 Geologic History 2.5.1.2.5.1 Introduction The Ordovician rock units exposed on site are part of a southward-thickening veneer of Cambrian-Ordovician sandstones and shales which unconformably overlies Precambrian Grenville-like gneisses and quartzites. Bedrock is largely concealed by a thin to moderately thick cover of young glacini deposits. Bedrock units were not adversely affected by the Paleozeic Appalachian deformation that formed a regional southward homoclinal dip and a few broad folds with small scale faults. 2.5.1.2.5.2 Site Area The basement gneisses and quartzites of the Canadian Shield, Frontenac Axis, Adirondack Mountains, Green Mountains, and Taconic Mountains were forced during the Grenville Orogeny (1,100,000,000 years ago) of Precambrian time'. The exact nature of this orogenic event is unknown, but it is believed to have involved deep burial and high temperatures resulting in the formation of gneisses, marbles, charnockites, granulites, and monzonites. Erosion combined with isostatic uplift exposed these deep-seated rocks by the start of the Cambrian, creating a surface which sloped radially away from the central uplift. The only Cambrian and Early Cambrian deposition occurred east of the Adirondacks, which provided a source for a eastward-thickening, shelf basin sequence of rocks which are now located in eastern New York and western Massachusetts (Taconic section). This sequence of rocks encroached westward upon the massif and, by Late Cambrian time, marine deposition occurred radially around the Adirondacks throughout the greater portion of present-day New York State. This deposition is recorded north of the site area by the Potsdam sandstone, a beach strand deposit. Continued transgression resulted in the deposition of tae alternating sand dolomite and orthoquartzite sandstone of the Theresa Formation (Figure 2.5-8). Amendment 5 2.5-55 n August 1979 2 352
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR A stable marine environment continued until Early ordovician time, when the region emerged and erosion eliminated part of the sedimentary sequence. This was followed by a period of submergence which initiated a long period of Early Middle Ordovician sedimentation resulting in deposition of the carbonate shelf deposits of the Black River and Trenton formations. In Middle Ordovician time, a period of regional uplift occurred as a result of c7mpression from east of the Adirondacks. This resulted in the rising of the land to the east and southeast. Initially, the site area was an area of deep water, but continued uplift created regression of the strand line in a northwesterly direction. During deposition of the middle part of the Oswego Sandstone, shelf and shallow water conditions prevailed. The upper part of the Oswego consists of near-shore shelf and tidal deposits indicating that the site area was in the immediate vicinity of the pa.'.eo shcreline. Deposition of the overlying Queenston Fp.mation is considered to have been continuous with the sequence consisting of both shallow water lagoonal and/or tidal flat deposits. The culmination of the Ordovician period is marked by the Queenston Formation. By the beginning of Silurian time, the site area was entirely dry land. Eventually, marine deposition resumed and resulted in the Medina delta, recorded in the red, green, and mottled sandstones of the Grimbsy Formation. Through the remainder of Silurian and Devonian time, deposition continued to the south in the form of fine to coarse clastic sediments from exposed lands to the east. This records the effects of the Acadian Orogeny in eastern New York. Through the rest of the Paleozoic, northern N1w York probably received some sediments from the exposed landmass, while, to the south, marine and continental deposition ensued, forming a southward-thickening wedge of sediment. The extent of depth of Paleozoic deposition is conjectural; l Colton outlines an Appalachian Basin of deposition that extends north of Lake Ontario and covered the site area with several thousand ft of Mid to Late Paleo:oic sediments. The Appalachian Orogeny in the Late Paleozoic folded and faulted the rocks in eastern New York (Valley and Ridge Province), and effected the tilting and folding of the rocks of central and western New York l southward into the regional east-west-trending homoclinal structure that l exists today (Section 2.5.1.1.4.3). Erosion has removed all Silurian and younger Paleozoic strata from the site area, leaving the Oswego Sandstone as the youngest rock unit at the site. The most recent geologic events are the several stages of Pleistocene glaciation, which scoured the bedrock and then, in receding northward, contributed a veneer of till, glacio-fluvial, glacio-lacustrian, and other periglacial sedd ents to the site area. 2.5.1.2.6 Site Ennineering GeoloRY The foundation rock at the site has not been adversly affected by deformational events throughout geologic history. These events tilted the Amendment 5 2.5-56 2034 353 ' August 1979
NYSE3G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR rocks gently southward in low dip, and formed a pronounced joint pattern. There is no evidence of faults, shears, folds, or major discontinuties occurring in the rock beneath Seismic Category I structures. Joints below the top few ft of oxidized and frost-wedged rock are generally tight, unweathered and moderately to widely spaced (section 2.5.1.2.3.2). Seismic Category I structures will be founded on fresh rock. The sandy clay / silt glacial lake deposits, any thin zone of weathered bedrock, or any slabs at the top of rock dislodged by ice shove will be removed during foundation preparation. Deep excavation slopes in the glacial deposits (till and lake deposits) which could become unstable will require appropriate design l for stability. The local deposits of relict stratified sediments may be very permeable and unstable in deep cut slopes. Engineering properties of soil and rock at the site are discussed in detail in Section 2.5.4. The coarse to fine grained, silica-cemented sandstone bedrock is not susceptible to solution action. There are no major empoundments in the area which induce loading or unloading effects on the site. The only subsurface fluid withdrawal in the area is by domestic wells which will have no effect on the foundation rock beneath the Seismic Category I structures. The past withdrawal of natural gas frem the old Pulaski field (8 mi north of the site) or the proposed production from three to four wells, located 5 to 6 mi eas:- northeast of the site (Well no. 12447, 12399, 12406, or 12398)'*"*) is not considered a cause for subsidence in the area (Figure 2.5-9). Production from the Trenton beds at around 1,500 ft below the surface is reported to be of short duration. Gas is produced commercially for a few months or 1 to 2 years, and then tails off very quickly to a very low flow. Minor gas seeps are known in the foundation of the nearby Nine Mile Point Nuclear Plant, Unit Fo. 2. The very small natural gas occurrences / pockets in the Oswego Sandstone can be safely controlled by venting. Because the excavation is shallaw and is high in the Oswego section, there is little potential for the occurrence of gas. 2.5.1.2.7 Site Ground Water Conditions The site ground water conditions are discussed in Sections 2.4 and 2.5.4 2.5.1.2.8 Mineral Resources 2.5.1.2.8.1 Site and Local Resources Geologic mapping and subsurface investigations located no unroported mineral resources within the 5-mi area or the site. Glacial materials are videspread (Figure 2.5-18) and fair quality sand and gravel deposits occur within the area. A few pits are operated for local use, such as the Rose Pit south of New Haven, and Phelix, Meany, and Lazarek Pits some 5 mi to the southwest. Natural gas has been and is being produced from the Trenton Limestone (Figure 2.5-8) throughout parts of central and western New York State. Some small Amendment 5 2.5-57 '034 554 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR natural gas reserves are known within 6 mi of the plant site. However, all past production has been of short duration (for months or up to 2 years only), I and then the gas tails off very quickly to a very low flow28 Pockets of natural gas were encountered in Oswego during exploration and the subsequent excavation for the Nine Mile Point No. 2 Unit, located some 5 mi northwest of the site (Figure 2.5-9). The gas is 93 percent methane and is probably generated in the underlying Pulaski and Trenton beds. The gas flows dissipated within a few days. A few cored borings at the site encountered some pockets of gas which dissipated (lost pressure) within a few days (Section 2.5.1.2 and Appendix 2.5C). The wells that supply water for domestic purposes in the site area are normally shallow dug wells in till, or deeper drilled wells in rock. The dug wells are low yield, large diameter installations which rely primarily on well storage. The shallow wells are subject to decreasing yields, or may even go dry during the summer months. The deeper drilled wells also are low yield. The best source of high yielding wells are the glacial outwash sand and gravel deposits. The nearest known deposit capable of producing yields sufficient for public supply is located in Mexico, 4 mi southeast of the site. There are no deposits onsite that are potential sources for high yield wells. Ground water use is discussed in detail in Section 2.4.13 of the PSAR and Section 2.1.3.8 of the Environmental Report. The Oswego Sandstone was quarried for dimension stone prior to the 1960's, but this use is currently uneconomic. Local use of this material for riprap and breakwater stone is common. 2.5.1.2.8.2 Local Mineral Extraction Activities Mineral extraction activities within the area consist of ground water withdrawal for domestic purposes and quarrying a few small sand and gravel deposits for local uses. Construction of the station would have no effect on these operations. 2.5.1.2.8.3 Sunmary and conclusions Geologic mapping and subsurface investigations throughout the 5-mi area and detailed investigations of the site located no previously unreported mineral resources. Small pockets of natural gas are known; a principal ground water aquifer for domestic purposes occurs in the glacial deposits; and the Oswego Sandstone is a potential source for construction / building stone. Construction of the station would have no offect on any of the local mineral extraction activities. 2.5.1.2.9 Geolonic Hazards There is no record of a seismic or aseismic (geologic) event causing damage within 25 mi of the site. 70f0 i Amendment 5 2.5-58 ' August 1979
NYSE&G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 2.5.2 Vibratory Ground Motion 2.5.2.1 Seismicity 2.5.2.1.1 Local and Regional Seismicity The relatively low level of local seismicity at the site is clearly illustrated by the cumulative seismicity map (Figure 2.5-21) compiled for a large region of eastern United States and Canada. Superimposed on this map is the site location and 50 , 100 , and 200-mi radius circles around the site area that show the spatial relationship of the site to the various zones of historical seismic activity. These zones of concentrated activity are clearly distinguishable from the almost aseismic background. The listing of available earthquake parameters describing all plotted events is presented in Table 2.5-1. Recommended thresholds, i.e., magnitudes greater than 3.0 and modified Mercalli (MM), intensities greater than III have been followed. Table 2.5-2 lists all known parameters of earthquakes not well enough defined to be plotted in Figure 2.5-21. There is no historical record of a seismic or aseismic (geologic) event having caused damage within 25 mi of the site. Three symbols are used to plot epicenters: an octagon, a square, and a square with two diagonal lines. The first symbol is used for intensity, the second for magnitude, and the third for magnitudes of events which have occurred since 1968. The size of all symbols is proportional to the size of the events; the proportionality is not linear and attempts to indicate the increasing importance of larger events. All of the preinstrumental era events are plotted with the intensity symbol. Events of the early part of the instrumental era are also plotted with the intensity symbol. From 1928 to 1968, MM intensity values are used when I available; if not, the M values are used, but the size symbol is slightly reduced to correct for the bias signaled by Stevens88 Some larger events l for which the magnitude has been reexamined conclusively are also plotted with the magnitude symbol. From 1968 on, the magnitude symbol is used exclusively. This is done because most of the magnitude values are calculated according to Nutt11's scale (q,lg ), which is more applicable for the eastern region than the Richter local magnitude scale used previously. Such mbig values are considered more characteristic of the events than other magnitude or intensity values. The third symbol (square with diagonals) is used to differentiate the more recent events (last decade) from the others, and to suggest that both epicentral locations and magnitude values are likley to be more accurate for reasons to be discussed later. 2.5.2.1.1.1 Data Base Sources The cumulative historical seismicity, as presented here, is taken from Weston Geophysical's earthquake data base. This data base contains a set of Amendment 5 2.5-59 2034 356 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR parameters for each earthquake, selected on the basis of a comparative review and evaluation of available listings, supplemented by extensive historical research. A parallel compilation was made of all entries contained in major earthquake catalogs and listings. These include the United States Earthquakes Series: The Earthquake History of the United States; the Publications of the Dominion Observatory (Canada) a the Seismological Series of the Earth Physics Branch (Canada); the Bulletins of the Lamont-Doherty Observatory and the New England Seismological Association; as well as listings by Mather and Godfrey, Brigham, Brooks, Pomeroy, etc. This compilation facilitated the detection of typographical errors, and signaled discrepancies to be investigated. By keeping in mind the chronological order of important listings, such as those of Mather and Godfrey, Brigham, Brooks, Eppley, Coffman and von Hake, Smith, Pomeroy, etc., and by returning to quoted references, it was possible, in many cases, to weigh the quality and significance of these listings and also detect some misinterpretations. The investigation of historical sources, such as newspapers, scientific bulletings, town histories, private diaries, etc., has contributed important earthquake information and led to the revision of some older historical events. This is illustrated in the Historical Seismicity of l New England published as part of the PSAR of the Pilgrim II site. Completeness and Reliability The cumulative seismicity presented in this analysis needs to be discussed in terms of completeness and reliability. Its internal value for the seismic risk assessment is tied to these qualities. Even though major historical catalogs carry entries dating back to more than three and one-half centuries, in no way should the coverage of this long period be considered homogeneous. On closer examination of the spatial, temporal, and size distribution of the reported events, it appears that the completeness and reliability of the data set is intrinsically related to the quality of the population distribution and,.later, of the seismographic network coverage. Accuracy of epicentral coordinates and assigned maximum intensities must be cautiously evaluated; focal depth information is simply absent. For many of the earlier historical events, epicenters may have been located incorrectly near dense settisments due to the absence of felt reports from the true epicentral area. Construction practices, especially of chimneys in the earlier centuries, were certainly not those envisaged in the Modified Mercalli scale; if historical damage reports are interpreted vithout due consideration, they may result in overestimated intensities. The tendency of early settlers to build near rivers, where soil conditions amplify ground motion, may have resulted in a biased sampling of the earthquake damages and lead to overestimated intensities. Figures 2.5-22 and 2.5-23 show the progressive migration of the population, in the eastern United States and Canada. These figures indicate that for a long period of the historical record, the population distribution was such that the seismological in:Tormation on events located outside the major concentrations O of population was biased. 2034 357 Amendment 5 2.5-60 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Seismological information for the instrumental era (post-1900) must also be accepted with caution. Seismic instrumentation made its beginning in the early 1900's, both in the United States and Canada, the quality of the earthquake data improved very slowly with time. Epicentral locations were still based on felt reports; they were only complemented and somehow controlled by instrumental data. For much of this era, from the start of the century and up to the sixties, several seismographs operated simultaneously in the northeast, both in the United States and Canada. These few stations were part of regional networks operated by the Jesuit Seismological Association (JSA), the Canadian government, and some American colleges and universities. In these early decades, numerous factors, such as the type of instrumental response, lack of accurate time control, awkward configuration, use of graphical method, and limited knowledge of crustal velocities, were potential sources of errors and large uncertainties in the epicentral coordinates. In the sixties, some improvements in the coverage came about with the operation of the World Wide Standard Station Network (W7SSN), the Long Range Seismic Monitoring Program (LRSM), and the expansion of the Canadian Network for the Upper Mantle Project. The operational characteristics and station distributions of these networks were primarily oriented towards recording large regional and teleseismic events and studying the internal structure of the earth. The uncertainty to be associated with many local epicenters during the sixties can still reach tens of kilometers. Since the 1960's, increased interest in understanding the local seismicity has resulted in the implementation of dense seismograph networks. Presently, seismic data in the northeastern United States are gathered by the Northeastern United States Seismic Network (NEUSSN) and reported in its bulletin. This agency, incorporated in 1975 and funded by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the National Science Foundation (h3T), the New York State Energy and Resource Development Authority, and the New York State Science Services, reports earthquake hypocentral locations and magnitudes determined through cooperation of the following institutions: Weston Observatory of Boston College (WES), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Connecticut (UCT), Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory (LDO), Pennsylvania State University (PSU), Delaware Geological Survey (DGS), and the Maine Geological Survey (MGS). Seismicity data for adjacent eastern Canada are reported in the annual Car.adian Earthquakes Seismological Series of the Earth Physics Branch (EPB) of Canada. A recent configuration of seismographic stations, operating in the area confined by the 39deg and the 50degN parallels and the 67deg ac d 80degW meridians at the beginning of 1977, is presented in Figure 2.5-24. It includes the following numbers of seismograph stations: LDO-29, WES-20, MIT-8, EpB-5, PSU-4, and DGS-1. These 67 seismograph stations, operated by NEUSSN and the EPB, is supplemented by dense micro-networks funded by power utility companies. These arrays include 13 stations in southeastern New York, supported by Consolidated Edison Amendment 5 2.5-61 2034 358 Auguse 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Company, and 5 stations in central New Hampshire, supported by Boston Edison Company. These micro-networks are not shown in Figure 2.5-24 It should be noted that the present seitmograph configuration may be slightly different than that shown, as new stations are being implemented and others moved or deactivated. The cumulative historical seismicity data, interpreted in the light of careful review, yields valuable information on the spatial and temporal distribution of the larger significant events and the location of zones of concentrated seismic activity. It has been pointed out that the distribution of recent l epicenters obtained through a denser networks> appears te be a reliable indicator of the major seismicity patterns. Granting that = correlation of epicenters with surface geologic features is more likely to be made using the more accurate data obtained in the last few years than with the older and less reliable data, it is a fact that only the historical record, complete for more than two centuries at or above a significant threshold, e.g., Intensity VII. HM, can yield information on the temporal continuity of these seismic zones. The understanding of causative mechanisms, based on fault plane su'utions and focal depths, depends on the more accurate data recently acqu. ed. The definition of the upper bounds which characterize major seismic zones and the approximate location of these events can only be obtained through seismic records of a sufficient time span and information on the nature, size, extent, etc. of structure (s) which may cause earthquakes. Another important point to be nade is that all the large historical events are spatially coincident with the few zones of activity revealed by recent networks having a lower threshold of detection. This suggests that tectonic forces relatively homogeneous over large regions of the continent must give rise to stress concentrations and strain releases in those specific areas where seismic activity has been evident for centuries. In this context, the occurrence of large earthquakes becomes spatially predictable. If large earthquakes can not be predicted in time, their occurrence in space is not random but confined to these continuously active areas. 2.5.2.1.1.2 Recent Fevision of Some Historical Events The September 16. 1732 Event This event was the object of additional historical research because of its importance as one of the larger events which occurred within the Western Quebec Seismic Zone. The true intensity and exact location of this event have been often questioned in recent years, both in Canada and United States. In review, the following intensity values were published: Mather and l Godfreyh' assigned a Rossi Forel Intensity IX (Intensity VIII-IX(MM)) to the event; the two references quoted were Brigham, and Lewis and Newhall. Heck and Eppley, in their Earthquake History of the United States, assigned an Intensity VIII(ID!). Brookss> also assigned an intensity VIII(MM). Smith was the first to assign an Intensity IX(MM); his references do not indicate any new research beyond already published sources.

Coffman and von Make28', in theft revised edition of Earthquake History of l the United States, assigned an Intensity IX citing Brigham and Smith as references. No reason was given for the change. All of the above references were based on very limited data to arrive at their conclusions: a few descriptions of damages in Montreal were not written in Montreal. Some descriptions dealt primarily with effects along the coast of New England with only secondary mention of what was heard to have occurred in Montreal. The basic reference used, that of Mother Duplessis of St. Helen, superior of the Hospital Hotel Dieu in Quebec, is a friendly letter to a female friend in France. It is written with the contemporary colorful style of the epoch and a touch of religious piety, particularly evident in the original French text. It is probable that Smith assigned the Intensity IX(MM) to account for the large number of broken chimneys and the dramatic description of the religious fear that resulted both from the main shock and its long sequence of aftershocks. At this point, it should be noted that E. A. Hodgson2, in an appendix to his major study of the La Malbaie 1925 event, (cited Smith <') questioned both the intensity and location of the 1732 event on the basis of the available evidence. He also called explicitly for further research in order to solve the problem (Appendix 2.5F.1). In this present study, the 1732 event is assigned an Intensity VIII(MM) on the basis of new material uncovered and a review of the entire context from which some former evidence had been abstracted. In particular, the description written by Sister Cuillerier, a historian of the religious community in charge of the Hospital Hotel Dieu in Montreal. is given prime consideration. The earthquake effects, e.g., broken chimneys, falling stones, disturbed wells, and fears described in this text are adequately covered by an Intensi'y VIII(MM), as interpreted in the Richter22' commentary of Modified Mercalli scale. A corresponding Magnitude 6 at or very near Montreal the l could account for the described damages, particularly if the soil conditions of the city and the poor quality of masonry are taken into consideration. Clarki'28' states "that the greater part of the Montreal area is covered by l deposits of Pleistocene and Holocene ages. These, in part, are of glacial origin, and, in part, deposits made in the seas of the Champlain submergence." A building inventory taken in 1731 shows that at least one half of the houses were built of wood; in this case, the chimneys were not as well supported as in the case of stone buildings and, thus, are more vulnerable to horizontal ground motion. In addition, the letter of the Montreal Hotel Dieu Superior, Sister Le Vasseur, to the Colony Intendant, Mr. Hocquart, with the object of asking for compensatory monies, does carry clear riferences to damages of the Intensity VIII(MM) range, but has no dramatic overtcte. In fact, reference to previous fires and fear of frost vedging are suggested as potential causes of future structural damages, underlining the urgency of repairs. It should be noted that an Intensity VIII(mi) in Montreal would be in better agreement with the Intensity III-IV(MM) that can te assigned to Quebec City, on the basis of Hocquart's comment that the shock " amounted to not much in Quebec." An Intensity IX(MM) in Montreal would, according to the attenaation curves, Amendment 5 2.5-63 2]}j j August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR account for an Intensity V-VI(MM) report in Quebec, certainly not in agreement with the Hocquart report. Similarly, an Intensity VIII(MM) in Montreal would be in good agreement with the Intensity III-IV(MM) observed in eastern Massachusetts. Appendix 2.5F.1 presents the original texts of some newly uncovered materials used in the reevaluation as well as that of the most pertinent ones already available. As far as the location is concerned, clearly, the present epicentral coordinates should be accepted, with some uncertainty of at least 30 mi, The suggestion of E. A. Hodgson, that the event could have occurred further down the river, is not accepted here for two reasons. First, the felt report for Quebec City and castern Massachusetts would show a greater discrepancy with predicted intensity values. Judging by the census for 1739, as presented by l Suite2*>, it appears that the distribution of settlements around Montreal, down the river, was such that an apicenter substantially outside Montreal would likely have been recognized as such. Second, Hodgson's reasoning that the long duration points to a somewhat distant epicenter is not entirely convincing. Discrepancies on observed duration as well as the possibility of aftershocks immediately after a main shock are arguments that can be made against using duration. The December 18. 1867 Event The epicentral coordinates of 44degN and 73degW as in Smith, Coffman and von Hake2a> , and others following them, placed an event with an assigned Intensity VII(MM) in the area between the Western Quebec Zone and the New England White Mountain Plutonic Series (Zone A, Boston Edison Company, Pilgrim II SER). To a certain extent, this ev'nt, as originally (mis-) located, may explain in part why the Boston-Ottawa trend was conjectured.. Extensive historical research was performed to clarify and improve the data set which supported the original location. Possibly, the earlier researchers were aware of the broad felt area, but could not (or did not) succeed in drawing an isoseismal around an area of distinct highest intensity. From the descriptions of people awakened in Burlington, Vermont, (given as supporting material) it remains hard to understand how an Intensity VII(MM) was assigned. New material gathered from local newsvapers was evaluated and assigned local intensities mapped. Numerous places far apart showed an Intensity V(MM); a single region, centered in Canton, New York, reported a long sequence of aftershocks; also, disturbances of well waters were exclusive to that area. An Intensity VI(MM) is a conservative estimate for this region, considering that no structural damage was reported. The proposed relocation is 44.65degN and 75.15degW, near the center of the aftershocks. Relevant new material is presented in Appendix 2.5F.2. Ihe November 4 1877 Event . This earthquake is listed by Smith and Coffman and Jon Hake20' as an Intensity VII(MM) event located at 44.5degN and 74.0degW.

NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR retaining the Intensity VII(MM) parameter. Considering this uncertainty in the location, numerous original newspaper accounts were collected to reanalyze this event; these are presented in Appendix 2.5F.3. Accounts of the earthquake's effects for localities between Massr.a, "sw York, and Montreal, Quebec, although containing a few references to damaged chimneys, are best evaluated with an epicentral Intensity VI(MM). As in the case of the 1867 earthquake, the characterization of this event as an Intensity VII(MM) by previous authors is not realistic, due to the lack of structural damage. Although the case for a reevaluation of this event to an epicentral Intensity VI(MM) is well justified by the newly uncovered reports, the epicentral location is not as well defined by them. However, several items in an account from Huntingdon, Quebec, suggest that this locality may be situated near the earthquake's source. The report at Huntingdon indicates a short, impulsive duration of shaking in the range of 6 to 12 sec, and also mentions the possible occurrence of two slightly felt aftershocks. Recent instrumental earthquake locations show a cluster of epicenters just northeast of Huntingdon. Based on this fact and the previously-discussed historical data, the following parameters have been adopted for the 1877 event: epicentral . coordinates 45.4degN, 73.9degW, Intensity VI(MM). Some uncertainty should continue to be attached to the revised epicenter. The February 10. 1914 Event The epicentral location (44deg59'N, 76deg55'W), given to this event by Smith and numerous others who have simply copied his catalog, resulted in l an isolated Intensity VII(MM) completely outside of the southwestern boundary of the Western Quebec Zone. Smith discussed nonetheless another location (46degN15'n, 74deg46'W) that Dr. O. Klotz, seismologist at the Dominion Observatory had calculated, at the time of the earthquake. Dr. A. E. Stevens28' indicated that Dr. Klotz's location could be the correct one. Just recently, Basham'26', in a risk analysis for the Gentilly nuclear site, used a revised epicenter, 46degN and 75degW, the position adopted by Weston Geophysical. 2.5.2.1.2 Zones of Concentrated Seismic Activity The cumulative historical seismicity map (Figure 2.5-21) reveals the presence of several distinct areas of concentrated seismic activity. These are addressed individua11 in terms of location, areal extent, level of historical seismicity, and their tectonic framework as inferred from current research. The Western Quebee Zone The largest concentration of seismic activity is located in a northwesterly trending zone, consisting of a large portion of scutt.vestern Quebec and the upper part of northern New York State, located betwet n the St, Lawrence River and the New York-Vermont border. Starting near Kirklaid Lake, Ontario, the southwestern boundary of this zone is almost coincident with the Ottawa River, Amendment 5 2.5-65 71 r- August 1979 L $) J D 00l

From there, it heads towards Cardinal and enters New York State, where it curves to the east at about 44deg20'N. Formerly considered a part of the l Boston-Ottawa trend'5 which was thought to be continuous through New England, the Western Quebec Zone appears now, on the basis of more recent and reliable seismicity data, to terminate in New York, abutting on an apparent I aseismic zone in central and northern Vermont. Bashami'26' has clearly left the Blue Mountain Lake Activity out of the zone. He has estimated the total area of the elliptical zone to be 1.6 x 105 sq km, and dashed its entire boundary to indicate that the definitive tectonic control is not well known. The zone is fairly broad, close to 200 mi to the northwest and more than 100 mi to the southeast. Basham considers the western Quebec zone to be the most active area in eastern Canada, on the basis of the 1971 to 1975 data. Sbar and Sykes'58 have partially corrobrated this in defining northern New York the most active area in state. Horner et al27* have calculated fault plane solutions for the Maniwaki, Quebec, July 1975 event, as the most northerly located event in the zone with a known machanism. The fault planes oriented north-northwest are almost parallel to the zone trend. This is l somewhat similar to the solution for the Altona earthquake of June 19752, located near the southeastern limit. Thrust f aulting arsd nearly horizontal deviatoric pressure axes are consistent with the observacions by Sbar and Sykes'58' of maximum compressive stress, nearly horiztntal, oriented in a l northeasterly direction. Besides the frequent occurrences of relatively sma'.1 earthquakes in the magnitude range of 2 to 4 the zone is characterized in the instrumental era by two earthquakes with magnieedes near 6. The first one occurred near Timiskaming, Quebec, on November 1, 1935, and was given an epicentral Intensity VII(100. It had a rather large felt area, near 1,000,000 sq mi. l E. A. Hodgs on' ' 2 ' , '

In Section 2.5.2.1 and Appendix 2.5F.1, it is suggested, on the 'uasis of additional evidence, that an Intensity VIII (MM) could adequately correspond to the reported observations. Activity in Western New York Historical reports and recent instrumental data from dense seismograph networks, indicate the present of a diffuse zone of seismic activity extending from the Dale-Attica region of western New York to the area of the Niagara Peninsula between eastern Lake Erie and western Lakt Ontario. Surrounding this zone of relatively minor activity is a wide region than can be described as a seismic, based on available data. 2035 002 O Amendment 5 2.5-66 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR The Intensity VIII Attica earthquake of 1929 is the largest known earthquake located in this area. Analysis of the several available seismograms of this event have ylleded a magnitude 5.2 m61g 25 Herrmann' " 8 ' suggests that the l high intensity resulting from this relatively low magnitude can be explained by a shallow focal depth. Fox and Spiker845 have proposed a reclassification of this event to an Intensity VII(MM). The 1929 event, along with other felt earthquakes in 1966, 1967, and 1973, and recently detected microsarthquake evarms, which are apparently related to salt mining, can be spatially correlated to the Clarendon-Linden fault system <iss,its'. Some of the earthquake activity appears to be spatially l correlated only to a segment of the Clarendon-Linden fault. The entire fault extends from near the New York-Pennsylvania border, northward into Lake Ontario888, where activity was recently recorded. The fault appears to be [ the eastern terminus of a weak alignment of earthquakes from the Niagara Peninsula, eastward. Focal mechanism solutions of two Attica earthquakes, by Herrmann*'888, and a l composite focal mechanism solution of earthquake swarms near Attica, by Fletcher and Sykes888, indicate reverse faulting on a nodal plane parallel I to the northerly trend of the Clarendon-Linden system. Focal depths of the analyzed events are restricted to the upper 1 to 3 km of the crust. Activity in Southeastern New York and Northern New Jersey Seismic activity in southeastern New York, eastern Pennsylvania, and New Jersey is characterized by several repeated occurrences of Intensity VII(MM) earthquakes. Three events occurred near New York City in 1737, 1884, and 1927, and two others occurred in southwestern New Jersey in 1840 and 1871. Several Intensity VI(MM) events are also distributed throughout this area of low level activity. Recent investigations by Aggarwal, et al868 and Sbar and Sykes5' propose l a spatial correlation of instrumentally recorded, small earthquakes to the Ramapo fault system, which extends in a northeasterly direction, parallel to the Appalachian trend in this region. Available focal mechanism solutions fer this area, by Aggarwal2**, suggest high angle reverse faulting along planes l that parallel mapped or inferred segments of the northeast trending Ramapo system. Activity in the Adirondack Mountains The more significant historic seismic activity in the region of the Adirondack Mountains is restricted to their margins near or within adjoining physiographic provinces. Activity to the north is associated with the southernmost extension of the previously discussed Western Quebec zone. The Intensity VII, Lake George earthquake of 1931 is located at the southeast margin of the Adirondacks, near the western boundary of the Valley and Ridge province. Two other Intensity VI(MM) events, one near Utica, New York, in 1840 and another near Lovv111e in 1853, are located at the western edge cf the Amendment 5 2.5-67 203S 0013

Since the implementation of recent networks, microearthquake swarms in the vicinty of Blue Mountain Lake, in the central Adirondacks, have been reported878 These events, ranging in magnitudes to 3.6 mbig, have characteristically very shallow focal depths, down to 3.5 km87,'888 Focal mechanisms for the Blue Mountain Lake events exhibit reverse faulting along l planes oriented north-northwest','. l Aggarwal2 suggests that earthquakes in the Adirondacks occur at shallow depths, preferentially along northwest trending faults and not along the predominant northeast striking features known for this region. Activity in Central New Hamoshire and Northeastern Massachusetts The area of central New Hampshire and northeastern Massachusetts, including the Cape Ann area, once considered to be a segment of a continuous Boston-Ottawa seismic trend', is now interpreted as a separate seismic region. Recently, Sbar and Sykes have recognized the presence of a seismicity gap in Vermont and western New Hampshire. Extensive regional investigations, geological and geophysical, conducted for the PSAR of the Pilgrim II Unit, have stressed the individual entity of this seismic zone. The largest events to affect this region are the Intensity VIII, Cape Ann earthquake of 1755, and the three Intensity VII events; one near Cape Ann in 1727 and two near Ossipee, New Hampshire, on l December 20 and 24, 1940. Street and Turcotte828 recommend a magnitude of 5.4 m for the Ossipee events, based on reanalysis of several seism; grams. The larger earthquakes in the Ossipee and Cape Ann areas have been individually correlated to certain plutons of the White Mountain series in combination with anomalous country rock faulting by the Applicant of the Pilgrim II Unit. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has associated these earthquakes with a largtr structural zone of White Mountain intrusives and the United States Geological Survey, following Hadler and Devine8, correlates the earthquakes with the northeastern Massachusetts zone of deformation defined by a series of northeast trending faults. Recent activity in this region, including central New Hampshire and the Cape Ann area, appears to be low. Only several events ranging in magnitudes to just over 3.0 m have been reported in the last decade. Activity in Southern New England Areas of central Connecticut, near East Haddam and Moodus, and the region near Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts have experienced a level of activity lower than that previously described for the central New Hampshire and eastern Massachusetts region, but appreciably above the adjacent aseismic regions as seen in Figure 2.5-21. The largest event for this region is the Intensity VI-VII, East Haddam earthquake of 1791. More O Amendment 5 2.5-68 August 1979

Two Intensity VI(MM) earthquakes, one located at sea off Portland in 1957 and the other near the Maine-Quebec border in 1973, are both assigned magnitudes of 4.8 m . Wetmiller won determined, for the 1973 event, an oblique strike- l slip focal mechanism with nodal planes oriented N40degE and N37degW. This solution is the first available for Eastern Canadian or New England earthquakes. The La Malbrie. Quebec Zone This zone, located northeast of Quebec "ity, is completely outside of the 200-mi radius circle around the site. It is briefly discussed because, of all the zones included in Figure 2.5-21, it is the most important in terms of energy released. Historically, numerous large events have occurred in this zone (Table 2.5-1) with intensities ranging from VIII to X. Some of these events are listed in Section 2.5.2.4 as felt at the site. There are reasons to suggest that the epicentral distribution, as presented on the cumulative map, shows a large scattering of smaller events which are not real, but result from population and network biases'i" . The tighter distributions of microearthquakes located during the 1970 and 1974 field surveys"','"28, coinciding with the epicenters of the larger shocks, are probably more indicative of the true areal dimensions of the seismic activity. A conjunction of the Charlevoix metenritic impact structure and Logan's tectonic structure has been presented as a likely cause of localized strain release <'. Fault plane solutions for some small events agree with l northeasterly-oriented faults present on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, parallel to Logan's line; they suggest, in general, a thrusting motion. The significance of these features for the understanding of the regional tectonics should be minimized until further data from larger shocks are acquired. 2.3.2.2 Geoloeie Structures and Tectonic Activity 2.5.2.2.1 Introduction The site is located in the eastern portion of the Eastern Stable Platform Tectonic Province (Figure 2.5-5).

The prominent geomorphic and northeasterly-trending tectonic features consist of parallel or subparallel ridges and valleys. The province consists of rocks that range from Cambrian to Pennsylvanian in age. The main valleys are due to the weakness of the Cambro-Ordovician limestones and shales, while the ridges are composed of very resistant Middle and Upper Paleozoic sandstones and conglomerates. Two classic theories have been advanced for the origin of the structures:
- 1. Deformation was essentially in the underlying basement and reflected in the overlying sediments
- 2. Deformation is largely confined to the sedimentary rocks The youngest known tectonic structures in the province are mafic dikes of Mesozoic age'F) , and extensional faults of Triassic age. No capable faults have been identified in the province. From several focal mechanism solutions, it appears that the present maximum compressive stress direction is largely l uniform and trends east-southeast2*'.

NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Numerous deep seated alkaline intrusions, carbonatities, mica peridotite pipes, and diatreme breccia (the Monteregian plutonic series) are associated with the faults, and are frequently exposed or inferred at the junction of fault alignmer.ts. Geophysical studies have verified the extent and alignment of the faults (Appendix 2.5A). This zone is marked by alkaline magmatic activity ranging from Precambrian to Cretaceous in age. Widespread normal faults are the youngest known tectonic events and are post-Ordovician in age. Earthquake epicenters may correlate with one or more of the faults vithin the zone. For further details of the bedrock geology, tectonic elements, and geologic history of the province, refer to Sections 2.5.1.1.3.6, 2.5.1.1.4.6, and t.5.1.1.5. The bedrock geology is shown in Figure 2.5-3 and the tectonic elements and province boundaries are shown in Figure 2.5-5. The distribution of earthquake epicenters in the zone is somewhat uniform, is snown in Figure 2.5-25 and the seismicity is discussed in Section 2.5.2.1.2. 2.5.2.3 Correlation of Earthauake Activity with Geologic Structures or Tectonic Provinces 2.f. 2.3.1 Limitations on Possible correlations In Section 2.~.2.1, various concentrations of seismic activity were selected frem a rather aseismic background. The spatial stability through historical ti.ne s of these active zones was presented as indicative of localized strain
.-eleases, likely asser ated with structural inhomogeneities. Logically, this seismic activity car be related to the interaction of the present stress h
regime with tectonic scructures that may or may not be surficially evident. In the latter case, these inhomogeneities of lithology and/or structure can only be inferred through geophysical investigations which can detect the variations of the physical properties in crustal and mantle rocks. On the basis of geological and geophysical data presently available, only a limited number of correlations of earthquakes with goelogic structures can be made. These are enumerated in this section. 2.5.2.3.2 Correlations with structures Many of the larger earthquakes that have affected the site (Table 2.5-1) are located in the La Malbaie, Quebec zone wheru the conjunction of the Charlevoix meteorite impact crater and Logan's line is suggested to constitute a zone of crusts 1 inhomogeneity. In the presence of a regional stress field, this local structure becomes ideally suited to concentrate and periodically release l tectonic strain','"28 The events in the Montreal area, in particular the one that occurred in 1732, which is important in determining the likely upper bound of the Western Quebec Seismic Zone, can be associated with the Mount Royal intrusive, one of the Monteregian plutons.

The possibility exists that this event, as well as some other smaller events apparently located at the periphery of the province, could be related to stresses associated with the pericdic uplifting described in Section 2.5.2.2.4. 2.5.2.3.3 Interpretations of Gravity and Its Possible R_elationships to Earthauakes and Deep Seated Structures 2.5.2.3.3.1 Data Base Variations in the earth's gravitational field can be used for regional tectonic analysis. Gravity data have been excmined for an extensive area in the northeastern United States and the southeastern part of Canada. Gravity interpretations are based on the total Bouguer anomaly map, a smoothed version of the total Bouguer anomaly, and a regional and residual Bouguer anomaly map. Data were obtained from two sources for this study. The Defense Happing Agency (DMA) provided approximately 20,000 stations for the United States and the Earth Physics Branch (EPB) provided appre '.mately 5,000 stations for Canada. No independent check of the data was done for the present study; however, for two other recent studies"',238, it was found that the observed l gravity values at most stations were correct to within 2 milligal. Those stations for which the observed gravity differs significantly from the values of nearby stations can be readily recognized from the resulting defect in the contoured gravity map, and have been blanked out or graphically interpolated. 2035 011 Amendment 5 2.5-75 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 2.5.2.3.3.2 Procedures and Interpretation One method of analyzing gravity data is to ese a uniform grid of observations. The method of least squares was used to produce a regular grid of gravity values from the random spatial distribution of field observations supplied by the DMA and EPB. This grid was used *' produce the contoured gravity maps. The total Bouguer gravity anomaly map is shown in Figure 2.5-26. A smooth version is shown in Figure 2.5-27; it has the effect of removing very local density contrasts and, to a certain extent, topography and noise by averaging values over a 20-km square. The total Bouguer gravity anomaly includes effects from mass distributior at all depths in the earth. In order to distinguish the gravity anom Aies associated with those masses near the surface from the anomalies due to more deeply buried masses, the total Bouguer anomaly map was filtered. The regional Bouguer anomaly map was obtained by contouring average values taken at the center of a square with a side of 80 km. The residual gravity anomaly was taken to be the difference between the total Bouguer anomaly and the regional Bouguer anomaly. The regional Bouguer anomaly map is shown in Figure 2.5-28. It is due mainly to mass distributions that occur at considerable depths in the earth's crust and upper mantle, and it is reflective of regional tectonic structures. The residual gravity anomaly map is shown in Figure 2.5-29. It is due mainly to near surface mass distribution, and it is useful for the interpretation of local features. In Figure 2.5-27, epicenters are shown superimposed on the smoothed Bouguer gravity anomaly maps. In many regions, there appears to be a spatial correlation between certain distributions of epicenters and certain features in the regional gravity field. For example, between Concord, NH, and Madison, Me, the epicenters occur along relatively steep gravity gradients. In the general vicinity of Montreal, Canada, and Massena, NY, the epicenters appear to be correlated with a high in the regional gravity field. The physical I basis for such correlations have been suggested previously' '* * * , namely, the stresses produced by the anomalous masses. In northeastern United States and Canada, the total anomalies are smaller in amplitude than in the state of Washington and adjacent British Columbia. The correlation of epicentral locations and gravity gradients is not as well defined, since the stresses due to gravitaticaal loading are smaller, and it is probable that regional stresses are smaller for the northeastern United States and adjacent Canada. However, the correlation between the number of earthquakes and the azimuthal direction of the gravity gradient is reasonably well defined in the northeastern United States. The form of the relation is: N: A+B sin 20 2035 012 O Amendment 5 2.5-76 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR where: N: the number of earthquakes per increments of 8 0: the trend of the grt.vity measured counterclockwise from east. For 0 : 15deg, A : 35 and B = -20. The trend of the gravity gradient is the direction along which the magnitudo of gravity is changing most rapidly. The largest number of earthquakes occur in the gradient direction of N45degW and the minimum is the gradient direction of N45degE. One physical model with several possible variants appears to account for the observed correlation. The regional Bouguer gravity and its gradient are reflective of large through-going geologic structures. The earthquakes occur on such structures because of several possible mechanism:
- 1. Tne structures are faults, the locations of long continued earthquake activity 2 Stress due to anomalous mass (which is greatest in the region of highest gravity gradient) adds to tectonic stress and localizes the earthquakes to those regions in which the combined stress is greatest
- 3. Tectonic stress is amplified by any mismatch in the elastic moduli of rocks, the amount of amplification depends on the relative direction of the greatest principal tectonic stress and the direction of the interface between pairs of rock masses.
Therefore, for a given tectonic stress direction, some orientation of the interface will be more favorable than other orientation for the generation of the necessary stress for earthquakes to occur. 2.5.2.4 Maximum Earthouake Potential The determination of the maximum earthquake potential at the site is made in two stages. As a first approximation, actual site intensities resulting from larger historical earthquakes are determined. In a second stage, the maximum potential site intensities resulting from hypothetical events are calculated. These events are specified as the largest earthquakes known for a zone of activity, these largest earthquakes are then assumed to potentially occur anywhere zone and specifically at a point of closest approach to the site. Table 2.5-3 lists the locatien, epicentral intensity, distance to the site, and site intensity for the larger historical earthquakes located in the various zones of concentrated activity, discussed in section 2.5.2.1.2. Three methods were used to determine the effects at the site. The first and most reliable method was to infer site intensities from newspaper accounts of earthquake effects at localities near the site. The location of the felt report with respect to the site and epicenter (i.e., whether the reporting locality is aearer to or further from the epicenter than from the site) is noted in the " remarks" column of Table 2.5-3. The documented felt reports are Amendment 5 2.5-77 203S 0l3 Au8use 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR presented in Appendix 2.5F.4 Secondly, site intensities were read from available published isoseismal maps, these are complied in Appendix 2.5F.5. Finally, theoretical site intensities were determined using the conservative I attenuation relationship of Gupta and Nuttli588 This curve is compared in Figure 2.5-30 to four others derviced using eastern North American intensity data. The highest intensity at the site resulting from earthquakes plotted in Figure 2.5-21 is in the range of V to VI. In order to account for the possibility of a large epicentral uncertainty, especially for events occurring in the first two centuries of the histarical record, the largest known earthquakes were attenuated to the site from the points of nearest ipproach of the several zones of concentrated activity, l using the consetrative relationship of Gupta and Nuttli50) . Justification for this procedurt is that, although some individual epl anters within a zone may be mislocated, the zone itself is well defined by repeated historical activity and especially by accurate locations of earthquakes occurring in the past ten years (Section 2.5.2.1.2). The following are theoretical intensities at the site, resulting from hypothetical earthquakes specified c.s the largest earthquake known for a zone of concentrated activity occurring at the zone's nearest approach to the site. An Intensity VIII event in the Western Quebec Zone, 80 to 90 mi from the site, would result in a site intensity of VI; an Intensity VII in the Adirondack Mountains, 30 to 40 mi from the site, would produce a site intensity of V-VI; an Intensity VIII in central New Hampshire, 200 to 210 mi from the site, would result in a site intensity of IV-V; an Intensity VII in southeastern New York, 170 to 180 mi from the site, would produce Intensity III-IV effects at the site. The 1929 Attica event associated with the Clarendon-Linden fault system occurred at a distance of 110 to 115 mi from the New Haven site. A repeat of this event would produce a site intensity of V. Finally, an Intensity X earthquake in the La Malbaie cluster, at a distance of 410 to 420 mi from the site, would produce a site intensity of V-VI(MM). It is reiterated that these extrapolated values are based on a conservative attenuation relationship and a conservative distance. Seismic activity in the Eastern Stable Platform, the province in which the site is located, is at a very low level, with the exception of the activity in western New York (Section 2.5.2.1.2) and activity further to the southwest in Ohio. The concentration of anomalously high activity in vestern New York, relative to the aseismic remainder of the Eastern Stable Platform, is l spatially correlated with tha Clarendon-Linden fault system85,58 Recent seismic monitoring has confirmed the preser' of microearthquake activity in l this area558 Considering that the maximum historical .e intensity from distant earthquakes does not exceed VI(MM), and the fact that historical cata as well as recent instrumental data show no seismic activity near the site, selection of an Intensity VII for the maximum earthquake potential at the site is Amendment 5 2.5-78

From the preceding analysis, it is apparent that no event from the other zones of concentrated activity has resulted in such a site intensity. 2.5.2.5 Seismic Wave Transmission Characteristics cf the Sitg The plant foundations will rest on bedrock consisting of the Oswego Sandstones. Compressional wave velocities of the sandstone materials range from 13,950 to 16,300 fps, and shear wave velocities range from 6,750 to 7,300 fps, indicating a competent bedrock. Table 2.5-4 is a summary of the seismic velocities and the resultant modulus "alues, as determined by Weston Geophysical. The complete report of the in r tu velocity measurements is included as Appendix 2.5E. There are no unusual conditions at this site which would affect seismic wave l transmission. 2.5.2.6 The Safe Shutdown Earthauake The maximum intensity at the site is a VII(MM) with a corresponding l acceleration range of 0.06 to 0.13g (Figure 2.5-32). The larger value of this range is taken from an intensity-acceleration relationship developed by Trifunac & Bradys. From the conservative analytical assessment of l Section 2.5.2.4 above, a peak horizontal ground acceleration of 0.15g is adequately conservative under Appendix A of 10CFR100. It has been decided by NYSE1G that a value of 0.20g peak horizontal ground acceleration will be adopted for this site. The PWR Reference Plant seismic design envele es are defined by the smoothed response spectra given in SWESSAR-P1, Section 3.7. There are no adverse site specific conditions that would influence the shape or the amplitude of these spectra. The duration of the stronger ground motion associated with the Intensity VII earthquake is estimated at 5 sec using an assumed threshold acceleration of 0.05 g525 I Operatinz Basis Earthouake ' 2.5.2.7 An operating basis earthquake (OBE) of 0.lg, will be used for this site. l 2.5.3 Surface Faulting No recent surface faulting has been recognized within the immediate area of the site. Bedrock and structural features were exposed in a 982-ft inspection Trench I across the plant site area. No evidence of faulting / folding was observed (Section 2.5.1.2 and Appendix 2.5H). Within the 5-mi radius, a stratigraphic anomaly in the elevarion of the contact between the Oswego and Pulaski Formations is due to broad folding and an associated Demster Structural Zone (over 3 mi long) located 1 1/2 to 3 mi northwest of site. This structure was investigated by geological / geophysical and core boring techniques and the fault zone exposed in a Trench II and rock pits. A Amendment 5 2.5-79 August 1979 203;t- 0,l3r
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR discussion of the Demster Structural Zone is presented in Section 2.5.1.2.3 and App Tdix 2.5I. Minor tectonic and/or nontectonic structural features are rec 1gnized within the site area or nearby. Three such occurrences have been investigated at the Nine Mile Point and J.A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plants (Section 2.5.1.2.3.3 and Figure 2.5-8). All three structural features are concluded by Dames & l Moore ('6, to be old, inactive, and of no effect on the design. No significant postglacial cz'fsets have been observed within the immediate plant site area. No evidence of offset due to tectonic caunas has been observed along any of the prominent sets of joints in the bedrock. Glacial unloading of the rock column has formed minor rebound features in the bedrock of the region. No evidence of surface faulting was observed in cored borinss or the Trench I exposure at the site. Minor faults in the region last raved during the Allegbt 41an orogeny (250,000,000 years ago). There has been no subsurface mining or natural gas recovery, or other activities that could cause subsidence and/or ground rupture at the site. Ponds / swamps at or near the site are small, and their surface loading effects need not be considered. 2.5.3.1 Geolonic conditions of the Sitg The regional and site geologic conditions are presented in Sections 2.5.1.1, 2.5.1.2, and 2.5.4.1. 2.5.3.2 Evidence of Fault Offset Based on a geologic investigation and a study of Landsat Environment Resources Technology Satellite imagery and low-altitude air photos (scales of 1:24,000 and 1:7,200), there is no evidence of recent fault offset on the site. Postglacial offsets were observed on the ground but are minor, and their origin is probably due to glacial rebound (Sectoin 2.5.1.2). Faults and associated folding within the site area are discussed in Section 2.5.1.2.3 and Appendix 2.5H. 2.5.3.2.1 Lineament and Linear Features - Renion and Site Area 2.5.3.2.1.1 Introduction High altitude ERTS, intermediate-altitude NASA U-2 imagery and low-altitude black and white photographs of the New Haven site area and region were l examined for linetrs. Various workers, Saunders, et al58) , Short5"> , Isachmen and McKendree<5 have demonstrated a relationship between some linears and geologic structure. In certain cases, linear alignments are suggestive of regional lineaments representing near-vertical basement l faults555 In this analysis, linears are defined as: straight / uniform or gently curved alignments of topographic features, glacial effects, and tonal changes, or Amendment 5 2.5-80 August 1979
NYSE&G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR outcrop effects identified on the imagery and probably unrelated to geologic structure. Lineaments are defined as: generally uniform alignments of tonal or fabric changes identified on the imagery, and likely related to geologic structure. Available photographs and imagery were reviewed (Table 2.5-12 and Figure 2.5-67) and the following, area / regional coverage was selected on the basis of quality for this study; black and white aerial photographs (scale 1 in. - 2,000 ft.) of April 1967; LANDSAT (ERTS) imagery of October 25, 1973 (MSS band 4) and October 11, 1972 (HSS band 5); and intermediate-altitude color infrared NASA U-2 imagery (scales of 1:64,135 and 1:128,000) of June 5, 1972 (scene ID 620500290064) and August 20, 1972 (Scene ID 5720006323299), respectively. C. ed cover was always less than 10 percent with imagery quality 8 or greater. Examination of the selected photographs / imagery (Figures 2.5-68 and 2.5-69) provided the data and interpretations compiled on the accompanying maps. Linears interpreted were analyzed with respect to features shown on the topographic maps, the site area bedrock and surficial geology maps. Based on these observations, cultural features such as roads, rail lines, fence lines, transmission lines, and pipelines were eliminated. A statewide study of ERTS imagery by Isachsen and McKendree8 indicated no lineaments in the New Haven site area. 2.5.3.2.1.2 LKam2 nation of Imanery Linears and lineaments interpreted on ERTS/U-2 imagery of the region and site area are plotted on Figures 2.5-68 and 2.5-69. Linear and lineament occurrences can be divided into three broad domains based on the style, crl.entation, and relationship to underlying bedrock. Domain 1 - These lineaments consist :f generally uniform alignments directly related to the complex bedrock structure (folds and faults) of the underlying Precambrian metamorphics of the Frontenac Arch, portions of the Western Quebec Zone, and the Adirondack tectonic elements (Figure 2.5-5). The Fr'ntenac Arch lineaments trend dominantly northeastward, but swing to the northwest near Ottawa in the Western Quebec Zone. The St. Lawrence River follows a procinent northeastward-trending feature which Saanders and Hicks888 termed the St. Lawrence geomorphic lineament (Figure 2.5-68). However, project investigations (Appendix 2.5A), detailed mapping by Dames and Moore568 and published geologic maps of Ontario (Map 2197578, and of New York'4* indicate no evidence to support a geologic structure as the cause of the S;. Lawrence linear. The Colton-Carthage mylonite zone (Lineament No. 2, Figure 2.5-68) is a major contact zone with associated Precambrian faulting (Section 2.5.1.1.4.2). The mylonite zone also appears as a prominent southwest-trending aeromagnetic linear that dies out south of the Amendment 5 2.5-81 } {} } ,fj ^"8" "7' 017
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Adirondacks beneath the Paleozoic cover. Regionally, the dominant aeromagnetic trend follows this northeastward trend over a wide sector east of the site area. However, no significant lineaments parallel this geophysical trend. . Domain II - These linears occur in the sector to the south of the Frontenac Arch (Figure 2.5-5) and in the vicinity of Lake Ontario. Features are primarily straight but of somewhat variable trends. North of Lake Ontario, the features trend essentially northeast and appear to be related to the underlying Cambric-Ordovician sandstones and limestones. However, to the south of Lake Ontario, linears trend to the northwest and are due to the parallel alignments of glacial effects, particularly drumlins. This sector is largely underlain by non-resistant interbedded sandstones and shales. Observed easterly trends, south of Lake Ontario and near Oneida Lake, are lines parallel to the strike of the strata controlled by lithology. Saunders and Hicks55' indicate a major geomorphic alignment to the east of the site area which is coincident with the Salmon River Reservoir. This linear could not be traced eastward across New York State by project investigations and is not recognized by Isachsen and McKendree'3. Also, the continuation southwestward of the St. Lawrence trend, shown by Saunders and Hicks **,s could not be identified. Domain III - Lineaments and linears occur in a sector throughout central New York (Figure 2.5-68). Three lineament trends (N55 deg east, N25 deg vest, and N5 deg vest) are manifested by the dominant drainage pattern (Lineament No. 5, Table 2.5-13). Similar analysis of LANDSAT imagery by Pohn et al58' in south-central New York indicates that the observed alignments are more closely related to the direction of glacial movements rather than to the strike of the major joint sets. Within the limits of Domain III, shown on this imagery, no major-mapped folds or faults are reported'",8. However, an investigation of the Salina salt beds in central New Yorkti reports the existence of two strike-slip faults of Alleghenyan age (Lineament Nos. 7 and 8, Table 2.5-13) as shown on Figure 2.5-68. The site area was investigated utilizing U-2 infrared imagery at two different seales. The 1:128,000 imagery is shown in Figure 2.5-69. Analysis at this scale and of the 1:64,135 imagery delineated three trends of northwest, vest-northwest and northeast orientations. The northwest trend occurs mainly to the west and south of the New Haven site. A correlation of field observations, topographic map data, and black and white photographs indicated that this trend is due to the parallel alignment of drumlias and peat-filled inter-drumlin valleys. North of the site, these features are subdued or absent due to the reworking and bevelling of the drumlins by ancestral hi8her-level stages of Lake Iroquois. Below an elevatior of 300 ft, the glacial features are largely modified and/or buried by a surficial cover of lake sediment deposits of the Sandy Creek Stage'928 The west-northwest trends occur east of Nine Mile Point and are expressed topographically as a series of parallel drainage alignments. No outcrops were observed in these drainages, but alignments are parallel to one set of site area joints (Appendix 2.5I). Amendment 5 2.5-82 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR The northeast trend is very subtle and coincides with jointing and fracturing , of bedrock in the central structural domain of the Demster Structural Zone (Figure 2.5-9). This alignment parallels Catfish Creek for approximately 4,000 ft and appears to continue northeastward as a series of aligned, low-lying, bogs. Beyond the bogs, to the northeast, the trend is indistinct; south of Catfish Creek the alignment is also indistinguishable. Detailed bedrock and surficial and mineralogical studies (Appendix 2.5I) concluded that the Demster Structural Zone is a Paleozoic structure. 2.5.3.2.1.3 Conclusions An analysis and evaluation of both high-altitude ERTS imagery and intermediate altitude U-2 imagery was made throughout both the site area and the region. No major throughgoing regional lineaments are recognized in the site ar9a nor are any projections inferred therein from the surrounding region. A subtle lineament is recognized coincident with jointing and fracturing of bedrock associated with the Demster Structural Zone of Paleozoic age (Appendix 2.5I). Imagery evaluation coupled with surficial mapping (Section 2.5.1.2.4 and Figures 2.5-18 and 2.5-19) and two inspection trenches (Appondices 2.5H and 2.5I) show no evidence of stream, terrace or glacial drift offsets. Minor linears recognized in the site area are related to glacial 9ffects. 2.5.3.3 Earthauakes Associated with Capable Faults There are no known capable faults. 2.5.3.4 Investi2ation of Capable Faults As discussed in Sections 2.5.1.2 and 2.5.2.2, there is no evidence of any capable faults. 2.5.3.5 Correlation of Epicenters with Capable Faults There are no known capable faults. 2.5.3.6 Description of Capable Faults There are no known capable faults. 2.5.3.7 Zone Reauiring Detailed Faulting Investination There are no known capable faults, therefore, no detailed fault investigations, as defined in Appendix A, 10CFR100, are required. 2.5.3.8 Results of Faulting Investination There are no known capable faults. 2035 019 Amendment 5 2.5-83 August 1979
NYSESG ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 2.5.4 Stability of Subsurface Materials The stability of the subsurface materials underlying the site was evaluated using the results of detailed field and laboratory investigations. Descriptions of the various investigations and their results are presented in this section and associated appendices. 2.5.4.1 Geolokie Features Generally, flat lying sedimentary rock and glacially deposited overburden comprise the geologic environment of the site. There are no features to indicat9 uplift, subsidence, or collapse. The coarse and fine grained silica cemented bedrock is not susceptible to solution from changes in level or l composition of groundwater. The only withdrawal of subsurface fluids near the site is for individual domestic water supplies, and this does not cause settlement at the site. The site surficial deposits are discussed in Section 2.5.1.2.4. The basal overburden stratum is lodgement glacial till. This till was subjected to pressure from the overriding ice and is very dense. A younger, less dense, and somewhat permeable ablation till was deposited by the melting ice. Glacial deposits above the tills were deposited in proglacial lakes. These materials were consolidated during drainage of the glacial lakes and fluctuations in the level of Lake Ontario. The compressible surficial deposits on the site, glacial lake silts and clays, loess, and recent alluvium will be removed during foundation preparation, as will all glacial materials beneath Category I structures. Paleozoic and Mesozoic deformational events have jointed and tilted the site bedrock strata similar to the conditions throughout the site area shown in Figure 2.5-9. This deformation has not caused faults, folds, shears, or crushed zones in the site bedrock which would constitute structural weakness. Closely spaced jointing is confined to the top few feet of rock where frost wedging and ice shove have accentuated the site area joint pattern. Weathering is limited to the near surface zone. Highly jointed and broken bedrock will be removed during foundation preparation. Below the top few feet of bedrock, joints are moderate to widely spaced, subvertical, closed, and only slightly weathered. A low to moderate level of in situ stress exists in the bedrock at the site. Average values, interpreted from measurements onsite (Apper. dix 2.5M) are 700 psi and 500 psi, respectively, for the maximum and minimum compressive stresses in the horizontal plane. The average maximum horizontal stress is directed N45 deg W. As discussed in Appendix 2.5M, these stresses will not have a significant effect on station excavations or structures. No pop-up features, small folds, or faults were found onsite during investigations which included detailed mapping of a bedrock trench (Section 2.5.1.2.3.3 and Appendix 2.5H). The compressive strength of the rock at the site (Appendix 2.5J) is more than ten times greater than the largest measured horizontal stress. Reduction of vertical stress during excavation Amendment 5 2.5-84 August 1979 2035 020
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR will be minor (less than 50 psi). Thorefore, pop-up features, or other significant rock deformation, is not anticipated due to excavation unloading. l 2.5.4.2 Properties of Subsurface Materials Detailed field and laboratory investigations were conducted to determine the properties of site subsurface materials. Section 2.5.4.3 discusses the scope of these investigations. Figures 2.5-33 and 2.5-34 show the location of test borings, pits, and trenches completed in the site area. Descriptions of the subsurface materials are presented in the boring logs (Appendix 2.5C). Test Pit Aogs and trench logs and maps are presented in Appendices 2.5G and 2.5H, respectively. Site subsurface profiles (Figures 2.5-35 through 2.5-39) have been developed through proposed locations of Seismic Category I and other major plant structures. Figure 2.5-34 shows the location of the profiles with respect to the plant structures. The f^ ioving subsections summarize the physical and engineering properties of th. major subsurface materials encountered on site: recent alluvium, glacial lake deposits, kame depositt, glacial till, and bedrock. 2.5.4.2.1 Recent Alluvium Recent alluvial soils are deposited in low lying valleys trending north-south along Butterfly Creek and along the unnamed tributary to Catfish Creek (Figure 2.5-19). The alluvium is a minor deposit on site. It ranges from a narrow strip where drumlin ridges abut the creeks to approximately 300 ft in width where the creek beds flatten. Being situated in areas of low topography, the alluvium is relatively thin and usually not more than 15 ft thick. The alluvium is underlain by either bedrock or a thin layer of glacial till. These deposits will not comprise significant slopes in the plant area. No station structures will be founded on the alluvium. Classification and index tests were conducted on split spoon samples recovered from borings taken in alluvial soils (Appendix 2.5K). In general, these soils are interbedded brown and gray silts and silty sands. The silts are non to slightly plastic and soft, with Standard Penetration Test (SPT) blow counts usually less than 10 blows /ft. The silty sands are usually compact with blow counts ranging from approximately 20 to 40 blows /ft. The higher values indicate the effect of both density and gravel content. Compressional wave velocities for these deposits range from approximately 500 to 1,500 fps (Appendix 2.5D). 2.5.4.2.2 Glacial Lake Deposits Glacial lake deposits occur in low lying areas situated extensively though randomly throughout the site (Figure 2.5-19). In the immediate plant area, these deposits are found trending north-south along the unaamed tributary of Catfish Creek. To the west of the plant area, the deposits extend betwaen the high topography of drumlins and kame deposits. Further to the west along several small drainage tributaries, the lake deposits are extensive and Amendment 5 2.5-85 August 1979 2035 02I
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR comprise most of the overburden in this portion of the site. To the northeast encompassing the abandoned railroad, and on both sides of Butterfly Creek to the southeast, these deposits are also ex'.ensive. The lake deposits overlie both bedrock and glacial tills. The maximum thickness of lake deposits in the plant area is about 10 ft. Glacial lake deposits will not . ?? ort any major plant structures but may support roadways, railways, and small swu -byard facilities. Excavated slopes uncovering these deposits in the area of Category I structures will be minor. The degree of such slopes is discussed in Section 2.5.4.5.1. The glacial lake deposits consist primarily of brown-gray soft to very soft silts and clays (Figure 2.5-40). In the lower elevations, the deposits are primarily slightly plastic clays. In the higher elevations, greater percentages of fine sands and silts are present causing increased penetration resistance. The fine sands and silts are sometimes interbedded. Undisturbed samples of the glacial lake deposits were recovered from borings G-36, G-37, G-40, and G-43 (Figure 2.5-34). Representative specimens from these borings were tested for consolidation and strength characteristics. The results are summarized in Table 2.5-5 and shown graphically in Figure 2.5-41.
.The consolidation test results (Appendix 2.5K) show that the glacial lake deposits are overconsolidated with an overconsolidation ratio (CCR) ranging from approximately 20 near ground surface to approximately 2 at depth. The overconsolidation is probably due to dessication. When loaded to a level above its preconsolidation stress, the soil is moderately compressible.
The shear strength characteristics of the glacial lake silts and clays are indicative of past consolidation. The undrained shear strength values decrease with depth at a rate similar to the decrease of maximum past pressures (Figure 2.5-41). The effective angle of shearing resistance, 4, decreases from approximately 35 deg in the upper part of the deposit to approximately 25 deg in the lower part (refer to the triaxial test reports in Appendix 2.5K). The pore pressures generated in the specimens during testing are also indicative of past consolidation. The heavily overconsolidated specimen dilated when subjected to shear stress, resulting in a negative pore pressure parameter. The slightly overconsolidated specimen dilated very little upon loading as evidenced by a minor initial reduction of the pore pressure parameter. The specimen tested under normal consolidation generated pore pressures during loading in excess of the applied shear stress. This effect is typical of a normally consolidated sand-clay matrix undergoing particle rearrangement during shear. Since the glacial lake deposits are overconsolidated throughout the site, particle rearrangement and the l associated high degree of tensitivity are unlikely during loading. The values of sensitivity derived from laboratory vane and penetration testing generally range from 1 to 3 (Figure 2.5-41). Greater percentages of sand are present in the lake sediments deposited in shallower water. The typically flat oedometer plot of boring G-37, Sample 2B, (Appendix 2.5K) is represtntative of such deposits. O Amendment 5 2.5-86 August 1979 2035 022
NYSERG ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 6 Field permeability tests performed in glacial lake deposits indicate low coefficients of permeability (less than 10-4 cm/s). Field permeability test results are summarized in Table 2.5-6. Compressional wave velocities of these deposits range from approximately 500 to 2,000 fps (Appendix 2.5D). 2.5.4.2.3 Kame Deposits The kame features originate from terrace, delta, and outwash plain modes of deposition. They form a narrow strip trending northwesterly through the center of the site (Figure 2.5-19) and are commonly found in areas of high topography surrounded by glacial tills. The kame deposits are rather thick (up to 40 ft) and undarcain directly by bedrock in the higher topography near the center of the site. They are much thinner (5 to 10 ft) and underlain by silty glacial lake deposits in areas of lower topography near Butterfly Creek and the tributary to Catfish Creek. The keme deposits consist predominantly of brown stratified fine sands, silty sands, <nd silts. Immediately north of the plant is a coarser, well graded mixture of sand and gravel. The finer sands are generally medium dense with SPT blow counts ranging from 15 to 25 blows /ft. The coarser sands and gravels exhibit more variable density with SPT blow counts from 20 to 60 blows /ft. Test pits TP-14 and TP-15 were excavated in the latter deposit. This material is a potential onsite source of select granular backfill (refer to the test pit logs in Appendix 2.5G and the gradation curve in Appendix 2.5K). Estimates of the coefficient of permeability are made for the kame deposit soils on the basis of soil particle size. From tbs boring logs (Appendix 2.5C) and grain size analyses of borings and test pit samples (Appendix 2.5K) the coefficients of permeability are estimated to range from 1 x 10-2 cm/s for the coarse clean sand and gravel mixtures to 1 x 10-5 cm/s for the stratified silty sands and silts. Compressional wave velocities of these deposits range from approxicately 1,000 to ?,000 fps (Appendix 2.5D). 2.5.4.2.4 Glacial Tills Glacial tills onsite consist of lodgement and ablation depositional types, and constitute the majority of soil overburden onsite (Figure 2.4-19). Lodgement till is found primarily on the high ridges near Route 104 in the southern portion of the site, on random drumlin features, and on the high topography just east of Butterfly Creek. Ablation till is the slightly more prevalent of the two types and constitutes the hummocky ground moraine found throughout the site. The high density of the lodgement tflis is indicative of the effect of ice pressure and SPT blow counts are commonly over 100 blows /ft. This is a result of both high density and the gravel, cobble, and boulder content of the till. It was often necessary to core the till since boulders up to several feet in Amendment 5 2.5-87 August 1979 203a, U23
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR diameter were encountered. Excavation of the test pits was difficult in this material. The lodgement till is a highly variable, widely graded mixture of coarse and fine grained soil sizes. Often it exists as a group of platey or angular sandstone boulders embedded in a silt and clay matrix. The fine grained soils present in the matrix are nonplastic. The composition of the ablation till is highly variable. Due to its mode of deposition, the ablation till is less dense chan the lodgement till. During excavation of the exploratory trench (Figure 2.5-34), it was noted that the ablation till becomes loose and remolded when saturated and exposed for long durations. This characteristic of the ablation till makes it suitable for use only as random backfill during construction. Ablation tills are located only l benetth nonsafety-related structures at the periphery of the plant area (Figure 2.5-19). Field percolation testing indicated both the lodgement and ablation tills to be of low permeability (Table 2.5-6) with coefficients of permeability ranging from about 10-8 cm/s to 10-8 cm/s. A few tests yielded higher permeabilities and mir.or seepage was noted in several of the test pits within till (Appendix 2.5G). However, this seepage is believed to be a result of localized pockets of coarse material or to the formation of drainage paths within the boulder till. Compressional wave velocities for the tills range from approximately 5,000 to 8,000 fps. The higher velocities correspond to the denser lodgement till. 2.5.4.2.5 ]Ledrock e Bedrock in the site area consists of the Oswego formation, a greenish-gray to light gray, thin bedded, fine grained sandstone interbedded with siltstone and shale. The stratigraphy of this unit is contained in Section 2.5.1.2 and detailed descriptions are given on the boring itgs (Appendix 2.5C). The bedrock surface at the site is fairly regular and slopes gently to the north at a gradient of about 70 ft/mi. Over much of the site, the uppermost 5 to 10 ft of bedrock is moderately to highly jointed. From trench observations (Appendix 2.5H) this zone appears as large blocks and slabs bounded by joints or breaks. It is shown on the boring logs as a zone of low rock quality designation (RQD) (usualty averaging less, than 50 percent) with recoveries significantly less than 100 percent. Although the range of permeability derived from field testing is great, this zone yields the highest permeability l of the major substrata at the site (Iables 2.5-6 and 2.5-11)60,'6','62,'68) . The high permeability is evident also by the loss of drilling fluid at or near the top of badrock in about 10 percent of the site borings. Below this zone the sandstone is more massive. Core recovery ranged from 90 to 100 percent with RQD greater than 80 percent. Seventeen intact rock specimens from vertical cores were tested for unconfined compressive strength, elastic moduli, and slaking resistar:ce. These specimens were chosen from borings in the two reactor containment areas. The test results are presented in Appendix 2.5J and results are differentiated for Amendment 5 2.5-88 August 1979 2, 0 3 S. 0 2 4
NYSERG ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR sandstones, shales, and siltstones. Unconfined compressive strengths and elastic moduli (secant modulus at 50 percent of ultimate strength) of the sandstone are fairly consistent, ranging from 20.5x108 to 31.8x108 psi and 2.36x106 to 4.68x106 psi, respectively. The strengths of siltstone and shale specimens averaging 20.8x108 psi and 18.0x108 psi, respectively, are somewhat lower than those for the sandstone. Young's modulus for biaxial loading in the horizontal plane was determined during the in situ stress measurement program (Appendix 2.5M). These measurements agree closely with the laboratory results and indicate that the siltstones and sandstones are approximately isotropic in three dimensions. Of the rock types tested, only the shales were affected significantly by the cyclic vet-dry slaking tests. The shale structures decomposed along bedding planes into thi n wafer-like fragments. The effect of such slaking on the stability of the rock excavation is discussed in Sections 2.5.4.5 and 2.5.4.12. Unit weights were determined for each specimen. These ranged from 156.2 pcf to 168.3 pcf. The average unit weight of all specimens is 163 pcf. Direct shear tests were conducted on natural and polished joints in shale specimens. The results are included in Appendix 2.5J. The tcsts on the polished joints were intended to minimize the effects of joint roughness and consequently were anticipated to yield conservatively low values of shear strength parameters. The tests on natural joints were intended to yield representative parameters of in situ shear strength. Results of the direct shear tests can be characterized by two types of shear force versus displacement curves. The curves typical of polished joints were flat. During shear, the polished joints contracted normal to the stear plane. The shear strengths of two of the three polished specimens increase 2 slightly with increasing displacement. A particle of rock sliding within the joint of the third specimen caused a high residual strength in that test. The range of values for peak and residual angles of shearing resis tance,$ , for the polished joints was from 23.7 to 26.7 deg, respectively. The mean value for both peak and residual 4 was approximately 25 'e g . Tie curves typical of the natural joints generally showed shear strength peaks at less than 3 mm of displacement. More pronounced peaks and generally greater shear strengths were developed with higher normal pressures. During shear, the natural joints expanded normal to the shear plane. Peak values of & for natural joints ranged from 24.8 to 39.1 deg. The mean value was 29.8 deg. Residual values of 4 for natural joints ranged from 18.2 to 30.1 deg with a mean value of 25.0 deg. The latter value was used in the slope stability analysis (Section 2.5.5) and is conservative since it also equals the average values resulting from the polished joint tests. In situ compressional and shear wave velocity measurements for bedrock at the site are presented in Appendix 2.5E and summarized in Table 2.5-4. Average values of elastic moduli calculated from the seismic velocity measurements are given below: Amendment 5 2.5-89 7n7r qr August 1979 LUJJ d,43

These included geclogic mapping, soil and rock borings, borehole permeability and water pressure tests, observation well installations, seismic refraction surveys, in situ seismic velocity measurements, in situ rock stress measurements, a series of test pits, and an exploratory trench to bedrock. The laboratory testing of site soils (Appendix 2.5K) included classification and index property tests and determination of strength and consolidation characteristics. Rock samples were tested to determine index properties, compressive and shear strengths, elastic moduli, and slaking resistance. Laboratory rock testing results are - presented in Appendix 2.5J. The results of the geologic mapping are presented in detail in Section 2.5.1.2. A total of 162 test borings were drilled in the soil and rock at and near the site. Five of these were drilled offshore along the location of the makeup water tunnel. The boring locations are illustrated in Figures 2.5-33 and 2.5-34. Table 2.5-7 is a listing of all boring coordinates, elevations, and snecial testing performed in the boreholes. Complete boring logs are presented in Appendix 2.5C. The logs include the soil or rock types, the location and type of samples recovered, the standard penetration resistance of the soils, and the core recovery and RQD of the rock. Subsurface profiles (Figures 2.5-35 through 2.5-39) illustrate the horizontal and vertical extent of subsurface stratigraphy together with the SPT blow counts for the soils and the RQD of the rock. The subsurface profile locations are shown in Figure 2.5-34. The relation of plant foundations to subsurface stratigraphy is shown in the excavation profiles (Figure 2.5-42 through 2.5-46). The locations of l groundwater observation wells are indicated in Figure 2.5-48 and Table 2.5-7. A seismic refraction survey was conducted to determine average compressional wave velocities and depths to major soil strata and bedrock. The location of the refraction lines and the report of this field investigation are presented in Appendix 2.5D. Seismic crosshole techniques were employed in order to measure the in situ compressional and shear wave velocities of the site bedrock. The boring locations selected for the crosshole seismic survey are noted in Table 2.5-7 and shown in Figure 2.5-34. The report on this phase of testing is presented Amendment 5 2.5-90 2035 026 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR in Appendix 2.5E. Measurements of the in situ rock stress were made in these three test borings. The report of these tests is presented in Appendix 2.5M. An exploratory trench was excavated through the site overburden to allow detailed examination of the bedrock surface. Figure 2.5-34 shows the trench location. Detailed trench maps and a discussion of the trench bedrock geology are presented in Appendix 2.5H. A series of test pits were excavated into the site overburden to aid interpretation of the site surficial geology, and to locate potential sources of granular backfill. The test pit locations are shown in Figure 2.5-34 and listed in Table 2.5-8. Detailed test pit logs are presented in Appendix 2.5G. 2.5.4.4 Geoohysical Surveys Seismic profiles, including compressional wave velocity values and a bedrock contour map, based on the seismic profiles and test boring data, are presented in Appendix 2.5D. Table 2.5-4 and Appendix 2.5E provide in sitd compressional and shear wave velocity measurements, along with the corresponding elastic moduli values. 2.5.4.5 Excavations and Backfill 2.5.4.5.1 Excavations The extent, depths, and slopes of the excavations for Seismic Category I and other major plant structures are shown in the Excavation Plan (Figure 2.5-47) and the Excavation profiles (Figures 2.5-42 through 2.5-46). Excavation in rock will be accomplished by controlled blasting in a manner consistent with acceptable construction techniques and in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements. The blasting will be monitored to minimize effects on nearby structures during construction, and to limit rock wall overbreak. Local overexcavation or dental work till be required if jointed, weathered, or weak rock zones are encountered at founding levels. ~ The monitoring program will provide data for the development of blast criteria in the form of vibration envelopes. Envelopes will be developed for confined and open-face blasting methods and for both surface and deep excavation blasting. The blast envelope developed at Nine Mile Point - Unit 2 vill be used as a guideline for the initial rock excavation. Upper bedrock stratigraphy is similar at the two sites. The early site blasts will be monitored at variable distances from the blast source in order to develop a site specific envelope. During the later stages of excavation, blasts will be planned using the site envelope such that the maximum particle velocity at a concrete structure will be limited with respect to concrete set time as follows.

In the plant area, the upper 5 to 10 ft of rock is moderately to highly jointed with detached rock slabs occuring randomly at the bedrock surface. Excavations will be through the upper 5 to 10 ft zone of slabs and into sound rock beneath several of the Seismic Category I structures (the reactor containments, annulus buildings, service water cooling towers, fuel oil storage tanks and pump houses, and the solid waste and decontamination buildings). Installation of the foundations for these structures will require the removal of all overburden and up to 35 ft of rock. The deepest excavations will exist beneath the service water cooling towers where founding level is approximately el +296 ft (msi). The largest excavations will exist beneath the containment structures and annulus buildings where excavations will average 20 ft into rock. Excavations will be taken to the top of sound l rock beneath all other Seismic Category I structures and beneath the fuel buii ings, reactor plant tank areas, turbine pedestals, main steam manifolds, and the ultrasonic cleaning and normal switchgear rooms. Excavations beneath the exterior Category I pipelines and ductlines will be taken to sound bedrock or to other stable subgrade. The locations of such pipelines are shown in Figure 2.5-70. Analyses will be performed to ensure that the piping and duc'.3 do not exceed ceceptable limits of settlement or motion relative to fixed structures. The bases for these analyses are given in Section 2.5.4.11. In view of the shallow depth of excavations, low to moderate in situ compressive stresses, and nearly isotropic elastic behavior of the rcck (Appendix 2.5M and Section 2.5.4.2.5); time dependent inward movement of excavation valls is not expected to occur. If any time dependent movement does occur, it will be detected and monitored as discussed in Section 2.5.4.13. As shown in the excavation profiles and the excavation plan, an approximate 5 ft working space will be provided between the excavated rock faces and the walls of plant structures. , I The degree of rock slopes is based on stability analyses discussed in Section 2.5.5. Generally, rock excavations will have vertical side slopes, but wherever thin wedges of potentially unstable rock are found the walls will be cut back to a stable configuration. 2035 028 Amendment 5 2.5-92 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVE:f-NUCLEAR Generally, permanent excavations in overburden will have side slopes of 2.0 (horizontal) to 1.0 (vertical). Temporary slopes during construction and permanent slopes cut in glacial till will be 1.5 (horizontal) to 1.0 (ver :ical) . There are no permanent soil slopes in the area of Category I structures. Slaking test data (Appendix 2.5J) indicate that the shale beds encountered in the excavation will deteriorate when exposed during construction. Although the rock excavations will be predominantly in sandstone, the weathering of shale beds may cause loosenirg of small blocks of rock at the excavation face. Local use will be made of wire mash, steel dowels, and gunite as necessary to protect the rock faces during constructica. The excavations for Category I structures will extend below normal ground water levels. Seepage into the excavations will come primarily from the jointed zone at the top of the bedrock side walle. The quantity of seepage is such that dewatering can be accomplished as needed by pumping from sumps. In the ":.11kely event that this method of pumping is insufficient to dewater the actual seepage encountered, other means will be employed. The NRC will be notified of any such occurrence and significant design changes will be repcrted. Since excavations below the ground water table are relatively . shallow, and the founding rock is characterized by a high compressive strength (Appendix 2.5J), hydrostatic uplift pressures are not expected to cause instability in the exc;vation floors. During the test boring program, natural gas was detected in several holes, some within the Category I structure area usually at depths greater than 50 ft into rock. The borings which encountered ;as are noted in Ttble 2.5-7. As discussed in Section 2.5.1.2.8.1, most of the gas encountered in the site borings is generated in the Pulaski Shale which exists approximately 250 ft below plant founding levels. Although the excavations will be no deeper than 35 ft into rock, the random occurrence of ges in small quantities and at low pressures may be anticipated. Much of this gas will be dissipated quickly through joints opened by blasting. During construction in open excavations the gas will be vented adequately without special measures being required. In confined excavations and tunnels, ventilation systems will be employed as needed. If gas seepage continues and can be detected by personnel at the time that foundation mats are to be poured, a lift of porous concrete will be placed on the excavation floor. This concrete will be used to channel the gas to vents located at the excavation perimeter. All rock excavations for Category I structures and pipelines will be geologically rapped in detail. The mapped surfaces will include the excavation valls and floors. Rock excavations for other than Category I structJres and pipelines will be mapped similarly where warranted and significant for the interpretation of the site geology. All rock excavations will be inspected and evaluated to confirm soundness for bearing. The inspection will be made by a geolcgist or engineer who is familiar with the foundation design criteria and the geologic and engineering properties of the rock mass. Mapped excavations will be subject to appropriate quality control and quality assurance to ensure the accuracy of recorded data. Federa. and Amendment 5 2.5-93 2035 02c) ^ur== 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR state regulatory staffs will be informed of excavation and mapping progress so that they may schedule site visits to observe the mapped surfaces. Any feature that could pose a potential hazard to safe operation of the plant will be reported. 2.5.4.5.2 Backfill Beneath those seismic Category I structures not founded directly on sound rock, lean concrete backfill will be required to bring the excavated subgrade up to designated founding grade. The extent and slopes of the lean mix backfill are shown in the Excavation Profiles (Figures 2.5-42 through 2.5-46). The lean mix concrete vill be designed with a 28-day minimum compressive strength of 1,000 psi. Tba frequency and type of quality control testing of the concrete will be in accordance with ANSI 45.2.5. Around Category I structures, backfill will consist of a lean concrete mix, and a layer of compressible material placed against the outer structural walls (section 2.5.4.10). The thickness and compressibility of this material will be selected to accommodate any time-dependent lateral movement of excavation walls that is predicted from survey mecsurements. As shown in Figures 2.5-42 through 2.5-46, the working space around structures will be of sufficient size to allow altern:te backfill schemes. Exterior Category I pipelines and ductlines will be founded on either lean mix concrete or compacted select granular backfill. Such pipelines are the Units 1 and 2 service water lines and the diesel generator fuel oil lines. The safety related electrical ducts will follow approximately the same paths as those for the pipelines as shown in Figure 2.5-70. To represent the support of these lines and ducts, a typical bedding cross section of the service water pipeline = is provided in Figure 2.5-71. The gradation distribution of the grar.ular pipe bedding vill be governed by pipe manufacturer's specifications. Potential onsite sources of select ba:kfill are encountered in the Yame deposits (test pits IP-14 and TP-23, Appendix 2.5K). Offsite sources are also available within 15 mi of the site. Descriptions of potential offsite borrow and estimates of its availability are provided in Appendix 2.5L. During tim evaluation of offsite sources of borrow, it was noted that several of the area borrow pits were in use. Some of these sources will not be available when site backfill operations begin. Therefore, the selection of offsite sources, if necessary, will b2 made later. A laboratory comparison of compaction criteria vill be performed subsequent to selection of the select material. The criteria vill be based on either relative density oc moisture-density relationships. the fill vill be compacted to at least 75 oercent reistive density as determined by ASTM D2049 or to 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D1557. The test method will be employed which yields the highest value of maximum dry density and yet provides the most appropriate criteria with respect to the specific fill material. The basis for this method will be reported to the NRC prior to backfilling. Backfill placed above bedrock and within 5 ft of structures will be compacted by tampers and hand operated vibrators in 4-inch lifts (loose lift thickness). lf Amendment 5 2.5-94 August 1979 20;7 pa 030
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Backfill placed beyond 5 ft from structures will be compacted by light compaction equipment in lifts not to exceed 10 inches. Field inspection and testing will be performed during placement to ensure proper g'adation, moisture content, and compacted density. Tests for gradation, in place density, and the limits of maximum - minimum density will be performed for each 1,000 cu yd of backfill. Prior to placement of the backfill, the excavated areas will be devatered and cleaned thoroughly. If necessary, the rock surfaces will be scaled of loose rock. Excavated soil and rock will be transported directly to onsite fills or stockpiled for onsite use. The excavated rock will be used for general site grading and for slope protection in designated areas. The glacial tills will be used for random fills and for general site grading. The silts and clays will be stockpiled in spoil areas or used for site grading. 2.5.4.6 Groundwater conditions Site groundwater levels were monitored in observation wells installed z.t the locations listed in Table 2.5-7 and shown in Figure 2.5-48. The observation wells co.sist of a 1 7/8-inch dia porous tip connected to a 2-inch od polyvinyl chloride (PVC) riser pipe. The tips are embedded in sand backfill at or near the top of rock. Two of the observation wells are sealed off from the rock as a check f;; separate aquifers. At ground surface the riser pipe is protected by a steel casing set in concrete. The water level measurements taken in the observation wells were used to prepare a site ground water contour map (Figure 2.5-48). Seasonal variation in ground water level measurements are plotted in Figurea 2.5-49 through 2.5-62. In situ permeabilities of the overburden soils and jointed bedrock were determined from constant and falling head patcolation tests conducted in several borings. Table 2.5-7 lists the borings where these tests were performed. Both the opan-hole and open-end techniques were used. Water pressure flow tests were conducted in rock at approximately 15 tt intervals. The results of field permeability and water pressure tests are given in Table 2.5-6 and 2.5-9, respectively. The permeability, effective porosity, in situ density, and grain size characteristics of the major site aquifers are summarized in Table 2.5-11. The groundvater table at the site slopes to the north and is locally modified by topography with highs occurring under the drumlin ridges. Groundwater flow occurs primarily in the upper 5 to 10 ft zone of broken, jointed rock at the bedrock surface. The rate of flow in this zone is variable and dependent on the extent of openings, type of soil overburden, and the hydraulic gradient. Inflow from this zone inta the exploratory trench at the site was relatively minor due to the dense till overburden which often filled the joint and fracture openings. The groundwater table varies between el +329 and el +340 in the vicinity of the excavations required for the plant (Figure 2.5-48). The deepest Amendment 5 2.5-95 - August 1979 20E 03)
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR excavations will be to approximately el +296. Since overburden onsite is shallow most of the excavation will be in rock. No major devatering problems are anticipated during excavation and backfill operations. Seepage into excavations is expected to occur primarily along joints and fractures, particularly in the upper 5 to 10 ft of rock. Seepage will be removed by sump pumps installed within the excavations. Sediment detention basins will be used for clarification prior to discharge to surface water. Seepage into the excavations will have *.imited effect on ground water levels at the site due to the low permeability of the overburden materials and limited depth of excavation. Section 2.5.4.5 discusses the dewatering and excavation methods to be used. The groundwater level associated with the probable iximum flood (pMT) is taken to be plant grade (el +340) and is the basis for design static water uplift and loadings on safety related structures. Maximum groundwater levels due to seasonal fluctuations (Figure 2.5-48 through 2.5-62) may be modified slightly due to stream diversion and final site grading (Figure 2.5-64). Maximum levels anticipated during the life of the station are less than el +335 and el +340, respectively, beneath Unit 1 and Unit 2 structures. In order to provide a conservative and uniform analysis for equivalent structures of both units, the design basis groundwater level for dynamic loadings is also taken to be plant grade (el +340). There is no requirement for the temporary or permanent control of groundwater during plant operation. Subsurface geologic and groundwater conditions encountered during construction will be documented and compared with original preoperational input. If differences exist, the impact on operational conditions will be evaluated and discussed in the FSAR. 2.5.4.7 Reseense of Soil and Rock to Dynamic Loading The bedrock shear moduli derived from field crosshole shear wave velocity messurements are given in Table 2.5-4. The founding of Category I structures, pipelines, and ductlines are discussed in Section 2.5.4.5. Subgrade - structure interaction analyses will not be performed for those structures founded on bedrock or backfill concrete since both foundation materials are stable under SSE loading. As discussed in Section 2.5.4.5, the pipelines and ductlines founded on select granular backfill will be analyzed to ensure that acceptable limits of settlement or motion relative to fixed structures are not exceeded. Compaction specifications for select granular backfill are discussed in Section 2.5.4.5.2. O Amendment 5 2.5-96 2035 032 August 1979
NYSE4G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 2.5.4.8 Liouefaction Potential All Seismic Category I structures will be founded on bedrock or backfill concrete. The working spaces between these structures and the rock excavation walls will be backf4.11ed with lean concrete and a layer of compressible material (Section 2.5.4.5.1). Select granular backfill used around buried exterior Category I pipelines and duct 11nes will be placed in thin lifts and compacted as necessary to preclude liquefaction under SSE loading. The resistance of a soil backfill to liquefaction is largely a function of the soil gradation and degree of compaction. As shown in Figure 2.5L-2, the soils available for select botkfill are coarse, well graded mixtures of sand and gravel. Laboratory and field studies by others have indicated that such soils typically have a high resistance to liquefaction. Laboratory studies69,'688 show that under cyclic undrained loading, soils with larger grains have higher shear strength. The soil sizes identified648 as most susceptible to liquefaction are uniform medium and fine sands. A study of the 1964 Alaska earthquake 8ibb8 provides evidence of the ability of saturated gravelly soils to withstand earthquake shaking. Wong, b. d, and Chan658 conclude from this study that the capacity to dissipate induced pore pressures is the "... reason for lower susce) . ability of gravelly soils to earthquake-induced liquefaction." The fine grained portion of the New Haven site select granular backfill is less than 8 percent by weight (Figure 2.5L-2) and is such that pore water drainage will not be impeded. It is generally recognized that soil liquefaction is also dependent on in-place void ratio or relative density. Evidence**,'b of well documented earthquakes in Japan has shown that liquefaction was extensive in sandy soils where the relative densities were about 50 percent, and undetected where relative densities exceeded 75 percent. A reviewb'8 of numerous sites of known earthquakes also shows that soils exhibiting relative densities in excess of 75 percent have been sufficiently dense to preclude liquefaction at ground accelerations equal to the SSE for the New Haven site. Accordingly, the select granular backfill used around Category I pipelines, and duct 11nes, will be compacted to at least 75 percent relative density. 2.5.4.9 Earthauake Design Basis The ecrthquake for which the stability of the subsurface materials is evaluated is the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) which corresponds to a maximum horizontal bedrock acceleration of 0.20 g. 2.5.4.10 Static Stability The rebound of the bedrock due to excavation will be essentially elastic. Its magnitude is a function of the weight of overburden and rock removed during excavation. Since excavations for the Cat 9 gory I and other major plant structures will be taken to sound bedrock, will be relatively shallow, and since the bedrock deformation modulus is high, the rebound will be negligible. Amendment 5 2.5-97 5 033 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Calculated rebounds and settlements are based on a modulus of deformation for the site rock mass. Ttds modulus is a reduced value of the modulus of elasticity and is mor6 realistic for static design since it includes the effects of compressing microfissures, joints, and bedding planes. Coon and l Merritt*'788 determined that for sandstones with RQD values greater than 80 percent, the deformation modulus is approximately one-half the elastic tangent modulus calculated at 50-percent compressive strength. The average tangent modulus derived from laboratory unconfined compression tests is l 4.2 x 106 psi. Studies by Deere, et al, indicate that a similar reduction is warranted for elastic modulus derived from seismic crosshole surveys. The average elastic modulus derived from seismic surveys in the upper 100 ft of bedrock is 4.6 x 106 psi. Accordingly, a modulus of deformation equal to 2.1 x 106 psi is used for calculation of heave and settlement. The containment structures and annulus buildings impose the largest pressures (approximatly 8 ksf) en the excavation floor. The net settlements associated with these pressures are calculated to be less than 0.1 inch and are considered negligible. In addition, these pressures at only a small percentage of the ultimate compressive strength of the rock. The minimum value of strength, derived from laboratory compression tests and reported in Appendix 2.5J is 2,045 ksf (14,200 psi). The design hydrostatic loads on Category I structures are based on the site groundwater level associated with the probable maximum flood. This level is taken to be plant grade for each structure (el +340). The distribution of hydrostatic loading is discussed in Section 2.5.4.11. l The lateral earth pressures generated in the backfill around structures will depend upon the allowable structural deflection, backfill materials, compactive effort and adjacent surcharge loads. The basis for and distribution of these pressures is discussed in Section 2.5.4.11. As discussed in Section 2.5.4.13, instrumentation will be installed in and around the walls of the deeper site excavations to monitor horizontal movements of the excavation rock walls. Movements in excess of short-term elastic relief are not anticipated. If continuous rock creep is detected over a period of several months, predictions will be made of the magnitude, distribution, and time rate of long-term movement. The impact of such movement or structural valls and backfill matericis will be assessed. As discussed in Section 2.5.4.5.2, the backfill scheme within the excavation working spaces around Category I structures will consist of loan concrete with a layer of compressible material placed against the outer structural valls. The design of the structural walls and the backfill scheme will accommodate horizontal movements in the compressible material of up to 1 in. The NRC will be notified if movements are predicted to exceed 1 in. (Section 2.5.4.13). If necessary, changes in the compressible material will be implemented. Such changes would likely incorporate the use of a greater thickness or a different type of compressible material. O Amendment 5 2.5-98 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 2.5.4.11 Desinn Criteria The results of static bearing and settlement analyses for Category I foundations are discussed in Section 2.5.4.10. All Category I foundations will bear on sound rock. The settlement analysis is based on elastic theory and uses a reduced value of elastic modulus to account for in situ rock properties. The maximum structural bearing pressures are a small fraction of the shear strength of the rock. The static and dynamic lateral earth pressures gsnerated above the top of bedrock by backfill placed against structural valls are distributed on structures, as shown in Figure 2.5-63. The static pressures are based on Coulomb and Rankine theories. The dynamic earth pressures are computed according to the analysis described by Saed and Whitman <'72', The static and dynamic water pressures acting on structural walls are also distributed as shown in Figure 2.5-63. The hydrodynamic pressur)s are based on Westergaard85785 C:afficients for earth pressures induced on Category I pipelines will be based on studios by Terzaghi798, and Audibert and Nyman. Connected l structural components and piping will be designed to accommodate relative motions corresponding to the SSE and determined by methods given by Christian' " 6 5 I The stability of Category I excavation rock slopes is analyzed using computer methods described by Hendron, et a1878 Permutations of possible rock vedge l tetrahedrons are considered under static, dynamic, and surcharge loads. A more detailed description of the computer analysis is described in Section 2.5.5. The minimum design factors of safety are as follows: Bearing capacity - 3.0 for all loading conditions Sliding and - 1.5 fe all permanent and OBE loading overturning conditions
- 1.1 for SSE loading conditions Hydrostatic uplift - 1.1 for probable maximum flood (pHT) levels and SSE loadings Slope stability - 1.5 for all permanent loading conditions - 1.2 for SSE loading conditions and for construction slopes 2.5.4.12 Technioues to Imorove Subsurface Conditions Bedrock is relatively shallow in the plant area (Figure 2.5-21). Where weak or potentially unstable soils exist beneath non-safety-related structures, the soils will be excavated.
As discussed in Section 2.5.4.2.5, the top of bedrock throughout much of the site is highly jointed to a depth of 5 to 10 ft. Where zones of this or other weak rock exist at the bottom of excavations for Category I structures, the Amendment 5 2.5-99 205 035 Au8ust 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR zones will be removed or cleaned and pressure gro:ted whete practicable. All over excavation will be backfilled to the designated founding grade with lean concrete backfill. Results of the static and dynamic slope stability analyses discussed in Seccion 2.5.5 indicate minor wedges of potential instability. These wedges are long and thin and are formed from the intersection of high angle joints. Field mapping will be performed in the excavations to determine the in situ joint orientations anj the extent of actual wedges. An analysis will then be performed and the wedges determined to be unr ible under temporary loading conditions imposed during construction will be removed and the excavation walls cut back to a stable slope. The wedges determined to be unstable under permanent loading conditions during the plant design life will either be removed or a structural vall vill be designed and constructed to withstand the loads imposed by the wedges. Although the rock excavation walls will be predominantly in sandstone, some thin shale beds will be encountered. When exposed, these beds will deteriorate and minor amounts of rock will become loose. A gunite coating and/or steel dowels and wire mesh will be used locally as required to prevent the loosened rock from falling into the excavations. Rock scaling will be performed prior to placing backfill against the excavation walls. Once sound rock is encountered, the excavation floors will weather only slightly when exposed, and during construction the rock surface will remain suitable for founding. 2.5.4.13 Surface and Subsurface Instrumentation O Approximately two years prior to site excavation, at least four primary monuments will be installed in coreholes outside the plant area for vertical and horixontal survey control. These monuments will provide permanent reference for all secondary monuments and other site instrumentation requiring high orders of accuracy. The monuments will consist of steel pipes grouted into boreholos taken to sound bedrock. The pipes will be installed within larger diameter casing to preclude interference caused by movements in the surrounding soil. Survey traverses will be performed at a frequency sufficient to determine and account for the effects of seasonal variation and construction activity on the monuments. These checks will be made for the duration of plant construction. Secondary monuments will be installed around the deeper excavations to detect and monitor any rock movements due either to slope instability or time dependent creep of excavation walls. These monuments will be installed approximately two years prior to excavation. Survey checks for horizontal and vertical drift will be as frequent as thost for the primary monuments and may be more frequent during the monitoring of excavation instrumentation. Additional secondary monuments may be added, as needed, to monitor features of particular interest or to replace those monuments which become inaccessible during construction. 2035 036 Amendment 5 2.5-100 August 1979
NYSE4G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR Heave monitoring points will be installed in the deeper site excavations prior to blasting. The monitoring points will consist of steel pins grouted into boreholes taken about 10 ft below final excavation grade. Casing vill be installed within the borehole from initial ground level to bedrock. The elevation of the pin will be monitored by inserting a calibrated survey rod into the casing and by using optical survey methods. The heave monitoring points will be read when installed, following removal of overburden, and after completion of rock excavation. Readings will continue es long as changes are measurable or until construction activities interfere with monitoring. As discu: sed in Section 2.5.4.10, values of heave should be negligible. The order of accuracy of optical survey control may indicate zero heave. However, if heave is measurable, the data vill provide the basis for estimates of any recompression settlement expected during structure loading. Settlement monitoring points will be installed to monitor the settlement of all safety-related structures. The initial settlement monitoring points will consist of metal plates embedded within the foundation mat. Vertical rods mounted above the plate and encased within a guard pipe will be used to permit optical survey at a higher elevation. These plates will be located at the level of the bottom of the mat. During construction of the structure walls, the settlement monitoring points will be transferred to metal plates or pins embedded at higher elevation in the structure concrate surfaces. Settlement monitoring points will os surveyed on a weekly basis during concrete placement and on a monthly basis thereafter until major structural loads have been applied and settlement has ceased. As predicted in Section 2.5.4.10, net settlements for major site structures should not exceed 0.1 inch. The order of accuracy of optical survey control vill be sufficient to allow measurement of such movements. Actual values of settlement will be compared to this predicted amount and will be presented in the FSAR. Values of differential settlements will be computed and compared to the acceptable design limits for the plant structures and interconnecting piping. Groundwr.ter conditions during construction will be compared with those conditions encountered during site exploration. The design basis groundwater levels will be assessed to include the new data. Changes in design levels, if observed, will be presented fa the FSAR. Groundwater levels will be monitored monthly to provide general data on site groundwater levels during excavation devatering. Readings will be taken in tnose existing observation wells (Figure 2.5-48) not affected by construction activities. Wells prasently located within the plant structure or construction facility areas will be abandoned. Additional wells will be installed as needed in areas of specific interest in order to determine or verify design groundwater levels and drawdown due to excavation dewatering. In addition to the control provided by the secondary r.onuments, excavation wall movements due either to slope instability or time dependent creep wil] be measured by subsurface instrumentation installed adjacent to the deeper excavations for Category I structure. This instrumentation will consist of multiple point extensometers in horizontal boreholes and/cr bor9 hole slope inclinometers in vertical boreholes. 2035 037 Amendment 5 2.5-101 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR The extensometers will consist of pretensian'd strain cet oring wires anchored at variable locations within a horizontally drilled borehole. Each borehole will be oriented to follow a competent s,.ime- ary bed into the rock wall and to cross high angle joints which may ect slope stability. The extensometers will be insta_isi 8.n tne v _1s at different elevations along a vertical line in order to measure displacement relative to individual beds. Relative movements of the anchors will be transmitted to the seasor head where the strains will be measured electrically or mechanically. Slope inclinometers will be installed in vertical boreholes drilled near the excavation face. These boreholes will be drilled to a depth of at least 10 ft below final excavation grade. The bottom of the inclinometer casing will be grouted into rock. Readings of inclinometers and extensometers will be taken at the time of installation and at minimum monthly intervals thereafter. Results of the monitoring program will be used to confirm predictions (Sections 2.5.4.5.1, 2.5.4.10, and Appendix 2.5M) that long term time dependent rock movements will not occur and that excavation slopes are stable. As discussed in Section 2.5.4.10, if measurements indicate that time dependent movements can exceed 1.0 inch, the NRC will be notified, and the composition of backfill and/or compressable materials surrounding the structural walls will be redesigned to accommodate predicted movements. Table 2.5-14 summarizes the scope of the geotechnical instrumentation program. A manual describt.sg the installation procedures, monitoring frequencies and techniques, and data analysis for all site instrumentation, will be developed prior to the start of installation activities. If the use of other monitoring techniques are indicated during the construction period, the instrumentation manual vill be updated as necessary. 2.5.4.14 Construction Notes To be supplied in TSAR. 2.5.5 Slope Stability The existing site area varies in elevation from +246 ft ms1 at Lake Ontario to +420 ft ms1 at the top of a hill located approximately 0.5 miles southwest of the Unit 2 centerline. The topography (see Figure 2.5-7) is hummocky and characteristic of an area underlain by ground moraine and outwash material (Figure 2.5-18). There are no significant natural slopes in the immediate vicinity of safet; related plant structures. No permanent rock slopes will be created by the plant construction. Removal of bedrock will be limited to foundation excavations. Sections 2.5.5.1.1 and 2.5.5.2.1 discuss the construction slopes resulting from rock excavation for the containment, annulus, and service water cooling tower structures. Figure 2.5-64 illustrates the entire site layout including permanent soil slopes and embankments associated with the switchyard and the site perimeter Amendment 5 2.5-102 2035 038 August 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR landscape landforms. These slopes are sufficiently distant from the main station area that their failure will not affect the seismic Category I structures. 2.5.5.1 Slope Characteristics 2.5.5.1.1 Rock Cuts Figures 2.5-47 and 2.5-42 through 2.5-46 show temporary rock cuts created during construction excavation. The deepest cut (35 ft) is created by the Unit 2 service water cooling tower excavation. The stability of the excavation walls is controlled by discontinuities such as rock joints and bedding surfaces. Joint sets considered in the stability analysis were determined from mapping of the exploratory trench as described in Section 2.5.1.2 and Appendix 2.5H. Figure 2.5-65 is an equal area plot of 103 joints obtained from the exploratory trench. These data are interpreted to show two nearly vertical joint sets. Average orientations for cach set were used in the stability analysis as follows: N60E, 90 degree; and NO3E, 82SE to 85NW. Bedding is essentially horizontal at the site. Six NQ core sections containing natural bedding joints and three saved, lapped surfaces in shale were subjected to direct shear tests to determine the peak and residual angles of shearing resistance (Appendix 2.5J). The data show some scatter with peak values of the angle of shearing resistance ranging from 23.7 to 39.0 deg. The higher (30 deg +> values appear to be associated with larger asperitics on the joint surfaces in some shale samples. For the stability analysis the peak angle of shearing resistance was taken to be 25 deg and all surfaces were assumed to have zero cohesion. 2.5.5.1.2 Soil Slopes and Embankments No permanent or temporary soil slopes or embankments which affect Seismic Category I structures will be created by the plant construction. Figure 2.5-64 shows the location of permanent soil slopes and embankments. Fill material for the site perimeter landscape landforms will be obtained primarily from sands and gravels, glacial tills, and rock excavated in the main plant, natural draft cooling tower, and switchyard areas. Temporary construction slopes exposed during excavations in soil will consist of sands and gravels, glacial lake deposits, and dense glacial tills (Figure 2.5-35 through 2.5-39). These slopes will be constructed to factors of safety consistent with the design criteria given in Section 2.5.4.11. 2.5.5.2 Design criteria and Analyses 2.5.5.2.1 Rock Cuts The stability of rock cuts associated with the containment structure and annulus building and service water cooling tower excavations is analyzed using the SWARS-2P computer program7','P. This program uses methods described by Hendron et al to perform a vector analysis of rock tetrahedrons formed 2.5-103 Amendment 5 2035 039 ^u8ust 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR by the intersection of two planar discontinuities, the excavation face, and O the rock surface. The analysis calculates factors of safety for the various possible rock vedges under static and SSE loading conditions and includes the effects of surcharge and hydrostatic pressure. The input parameters are the oxcavation configuration (Figure 2.5-47), the joint orientations and angle of shearing resistance discussed in Section 2.5.5.1.1, and the ground water elevations for static loading conditions (el +340 - Section 2.5.4.6). Both the static and the dynamic analysis indicate many minor wedges which are potentially unstable. These wedges are generally long and thin due to the high angle joints and will be removed by over9xcavation as they are encountered during construction. Since the SWARS-2P computer program is unable to analyze cases with a low angle bedding plane parameter, a manual calculation was performed to analyze both a narrow and a wide block formed by the intersection of a low angle bedding plane with the excavation face and a near vertical joint. Figure 2.5-66 shows the ca'culation and the input parameters used. The results of this calculation show that there are no stability problems due to blocks formed by low angle bedding planes and high angle joint sets. Slaking test data (Appendix 2.5J) indicate that the shales are highly susceptable to deterioration when exposed to alternate vetting and drying. The shale beds at the site are generally thin and are protected by resistant layers of sandstone which predominate the upper section (Zone 5) of the Oswego formation. Local use will be made >f wire mesh and gunnite as may be necessary to protect rock faces durin; construction. Excavation faces will be mapped in detail during construction and the observed system of joints and bedding will be subjected to a final analysis. If necessary, permanent reinforcement will be designed to meet the criteria for permanent slopes given in Section 2.5.4.11. No significant slope stability problems have been reported at any of the area's numerous quarries and construction excavations in Oswego sandstone. 2.5.5.2.2 Soil Slopes and Embankments Section 2.5.4.11 gives design criteria factors of safety for slope stability. As stated in Section 2.5.5.1.2, there are no permanent or temporary soil slopes that can affect safety related structures. 2.5.5.3 Lors of Core Borines The location of test borings are shown in Figures 2.5-33 and 2.5-34. Boring logs for all soil and rock test borings are contained in Appendix 2.5C. 2.5.5.4 Cpmoaction Specifications Although none of the soil slopes and embankments are safety related, a laboratory test program will be performed on typical fill materials prior to the start of construction activities. This program will be used to establish Amendment 5 2.5-104 2035 040 August 1979

NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 3.6.7 Discharnes to Uater 3.6.7.1 Cooline Tower Blovdown The evaporation of water is the main heat transfer mechanism and results in an increase of the dissolved solids concentration in the circulating water. To control the dissolved solids level in the circulating water, a portion of the circulating water is withdrawn as blowdown. The cooling tcwer blowdown rate varies, such that under normal operating conditions, the makeup to blowdown flow ratio results in an average concentration factor of dissolved solids of approximately 3.0. As the cooling tower evaporation varies during the year, the resulting concentration factor varies from a maximum of 6.0 to a minimum of 2.45. It is estimated that the maximum instantaneous concentration factor (as measured by mass balance of makeup flow and evaporative losses determined from hourly meteorological observations) during the data period will be equalled or exceeded for 3 hr in 10 years, based on 10 years of meteorological data from Syracuse Hancock International Airport (National Weather Service). Table 3.6-1 lists the estimated average and maximum chemical concentrations in the cooling tower blowdown. The average concentration is based on the average concentration factor and average ambient concentration of each parameter. The annual average and maximum ambient water quality is summarized in Table 3.6-6. The maximum composition represeats the estimated worst possible conditions for that particular parameter while the average composition represents the expected normal operating condition. Both the average and the maximum concentrations for iron, chromium, and nickel include the increase in the concentrations of these metals due to corrosion in the circulating water system and the turbine plant and reactor plant service water systems. Cooling tower blowdown complies with 40CTR423. 3.6.7.2 Neutralized Demineralizer Wastes Neutralization is performed on a batch basis. The neutralized wastes are released at a rate of approximately 100 gpm to the cooling tower blowdown system. Table 3.6-2 lists the expected mean and maximum chemical concentrations in the neutralized waste resulting from:
- 1. Carbon filter backwash and rinse
- 2. A cation and anion regeneration cycle
- 3. A cation, anion, and mixed bed regeneration cycle The mean concentration is based on the design regeneration cycle and the maximum concentration of each parameter, except for the trace elements which are based on average ambient concentrations. The maximum concentration is based on the design regeneration cycle and the maximum concentration of all parameters, including the trace elements. It is assumed that the effect of Amendment 3 3.6-7 June 1979
NYSE8G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR carbon filter waste on the total neutralized waste is an increase of suspended solids only. The neutralized waste complies with 40CFR423. 3.6.7.3 Chemical Additions to Plant Water Table 3.6-3 lists all chemicals and corrosion products added to the station water. A brief description of the reasons for their use is included in the table. The table gives estimates of monthly station use, station discharge, and the frequency of use. Table 3.6-4 shows the chemicals used for initial plant startup. The quantities of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide indicated in Table 3.6-4 represent the total requirement for chemically regenerating the ion exchange demineralizers for the makeup demineralizer and the condensate polishing demineralizer systems during initial startup. Of these total quantities, 15 percent are discharged from the neutralized makeup demineralizse regeneration waste. The composition of the neutralized waste is indicated in Table 3.6-2. The remaining acid and caustic quantities, as well as all other chemicals indicated in Table 3.6-4, are not discharged, but are either used in closed systems or evaporated as described in Section 3.5-2. Preoperational cleaning is described in Section 4.1.1.11. l 3.6.7.4 Combined Waste Discharge Cooling tower blowdown is released continuously to Lake Ontario during station operation and serves as dilution water for the release of other treated liquid wastes. The estimated average and maximum chemical concentrations of the combined utste discharge is shown in Table 3.6-5. The expected plant discharge was computed by performing a mass balance based on the flow rate and chemical composition of the blowdown and other plant liquid wastes. Corrosion products were added directly to the cooling tower blowdown. Neutralized makeup demineralizer wastes and low level radioactive vastes were added to the cooling tower blowdown using the following relationship.

NYSE&G ER NEW HAVEN-NUCLEAR 10.2 INTAKE SYSTEM The makeup water intake system diverts water from Lake Ontario to replace water lost due to evaporation, blevdown, and drift in the circulating water system cooling tower and ultimate heat sink, and plant consumptive use. Prorosed Intake System The proposed intake system consists of an offshore submerged velocity cap inlet structure, an onshore pumphouse, and the connecting conduits between the inlet structure and the pumphouse, and between the pumphouse and the turbine building. The inlet structure is located in Lake Ontario as shown in Figure 3.4-4 Section 3.4.3 describes the system. The proposed makeup water intake system is designed to minimize the potential for fish entrapment within the system and impingement of fish on the traveling screens. It is also designed to reduce the potential for entrainment of bed load silt and benthic organisms. To achieve this, the following features have been incorporated into the offshore inlet design:
- 1. Lov uniform approach velocities at the inlet face (less than 0.5 fps) by utilizing a velocity cap
- 2. Submerged inlet located 6 ft above lake bottom
- 3. Inlet located in aa area and at a depth based on biological field studies 4 The inlet base is constructed of solid concrete with the inlet face flush with the sill. This feature and the absence of riprap ensures that the inlet structure vill not create a new habitat Information pursuant to approval of the intake system in accordance with section 316(b) of PL92-500 is provided in the Applicant's 316(b)
Demonstration, New Haven Site, issued January 1979. Consistent with the Development Document for 316(b) published by the EPA, the proposed intake system employs the best technology available commercially at an economically practicable cost for minimizing adverse environmental impact, including that due to fish entrapment and impingement. Alternative intake systems considered are Ranney radial collector wells, shoreline intake structure, and an offshore stationary screen intake. These alternative systems represent typical variations of available generic engineering designs. They were considered promising in terrs of environmental protection or economics. Rannev padial Collector Well System The Ranney radial collector well system consists of large diameter caissons or vet wells excavated into the ground near the Lake Ontario shoreline. The Amendment 5 10.2-1 } {} } } }/8 August 1979
UYSE8G ER NEW HAVEU-UUCLEAR collector system for each well would be comprised of a number of smaller diameter slotted well screen pipes extending radially outward from the caisson. During system operation, ground water would flow through the slotted well screen pipes into the central caisson. Vertical wet pit pumps would withdraw the water and discharge it into the pipeline leading to the station site. Investigations conducted to date near the shoreline area indicate that the low permeability rock is very shallow, typically less than 20 ft below grade. Under such circumstances, the aquifer (which would be recharged by the lake) required to supply the makeup water requirements would not be available. This information indicates that this alternative is not feasible at this site. Shoreline Intake Structure A shoreline intake structure, located on the south shore of Lake Ontario, was considered. The structure would include trash racks, traveling screens, and six 50 percent capacity makeup water pumps. The face of the traveling screens would be directly aligned with the shoreline. The trash racks and remainder of the structure would protrude into the lake. Concrete curtain walls would be provided to prevent surface ice and large debris from entering the structure and damaging operating equipment. An approach channel would be excavated to ensure water availability in the event of the formation of pack ice windrows. A deicing system would also be necessary to insure availability of the makeup water system. The southern shoreline of Lake Ontario is subject to extensive surface water freezing and pack ice problems. Ice loadings on shoreline structures can become severe enough to cause structural failure. A deicing system would not be adequate to ensure syst;m availability during these times, nor protect the intake structure againot wind-blown pack ice. There is no assurance that an approach channel, regard.ess of depth, would remain unblocked by pack ice. For these reasons, the system is not feasible at this site. Of fshore Stationary Screen Intake An offshore stationary screen intake, employing Johnson wedge wire screens, would consist of three sets of screens. Each set would consist of two 4-ft diameter by 6-ft long screens attached to a center tee. The slot vidth would be 10 mm. Based on a total makeur flow of' 36,372 spm, the through-the-slot velocity would be 0.3 fps. Each screening unit (located 3,000 ft offshore) would convey the water through individual pipelines which would be located inside a tunnel (similar to the proposed intake system). The onshore pumphouse would not require trash racks or traveling screens, since the offshore screens would prevent debris from entering the system. The onshore pumphouse would, therefore, be much smaller than the proposed pumphouse. The offshore screens are much more susceptible to blockage by frazil ice (initial stage of ice crystalization) and anchor ice and by biological growth than is the proposed offshore inlet structure. In Lake Ontario, the potential exists for floating mats of Cladophora, an aquatic vegetation, to become 10.2-2

NEW HAVEN Stratigraphic offset between Borings R-29 and R-27 is approximately 6 ft (Figure 2.5I-8) . The true sense of this offset is not determinable due to the intervening folding. However, based on subsurface data (Fig-ure 2.5I-8), the offset appears to be of a reverse sense. Offset across the main fault zone exposed in the trench floor is approximately 12 to 15 ft of normal movement. Offsets t.long the R-5/P-2 boring alignment (Figure 2.5I-10) indiente the same type of structural features and styles of displacement. However, lack of bedrock control limits the subsurface interpretation. Delineation of the structural zone on the R-5/P-2 boring alignment (Figure 2.5I-10) was provided mainly by Boring R-14, which crosscuts the fealt zone from 202 ft to 246 ft downhole. Also, Boring R-13 was collared rt intensely brecciated and gouged strata but entered unbroken rock at a depth of 84.3 ft downhole. Data from these two borings indicate that the fault zone dips approximately 73 0 northwestward. Additional sub-surface control was provided by Borings R-5, R-17, and P-2. The boring data indicate an elevation differential of 94 ft on the Oswego /Pulaski boundary between Borings P-2 and R-5; most of this elevation differential occurs northwest of the fault zone. This major offset is due to broad folding with the Oswego /Pulaski boundary higher to the northwest as on the R-9/R-ll boring alignment (Figure 2.5I-8). Stratigraphic offset between Borings R-14 and R-13 shows approximately 19 ft of reverse displacement. An exact amount of offset at the fault plane is somewhat uncertain due to complex folding in tne fault zone, as determined from the dip analysis (Figure 2.5I-17). The offset, however, appears to be approximately 10 ft with the northwest side down. Detailed mapping indicates the bedrock structures exposed in Trench II can be subdivided into three small-scale structural domains for descrip-tion and analysis. These domains are delineated on the basis of deforma-tion style and structural elements. The southeast domain, Stations 9+48 to 10+40, is characterized by steeply southeast-dipping, Zone 2 strata grading to gentle, southeast-dipping, Zone 3 strata. No faults or folds are observed in the southeast domain. Joints and minor bedding plane slips are the only structural elements recognized, besides the partial limb of the main fold. The joint pattern consisting of five joint sets is plotted on Pi-diagrams shown on Figure 2.5I-21. The central domain bounded at Stations 9+48 and 8+78 by faults with normal movement consists of intensely-fractured, faulted, and folded strata (Zone 1 and two minor amounts of Zone 2). This domain shows the greatest amount of deformation exposed in the trench and characteristically, exhibits bedding plane gouge, flexural slip, folding, and faulting. The northwest domain, Stations 8+78 to 8+00, consists of gentle, south-east-dipping, Zone 1 strata. Small-scale reverse faulting and joints are the predominant structural elements. The joint pattern in this domain is shown on Figure 2.5I-6. Bedding dips recorded in all three structural domains reflect the areal southwest-plunging fold, and appear in cored boring data to continue northwestward to about Boring R-2. 7^ 0 ~5 5 1Jc 4ebruary 1979, Amendment 1 2.5I-17
NEW HAVEN 2.5I.3.4.2 Southeast Structural Domain The southeast structural domain extends from Stations 9+48 to 10+40 and exhibits deformation resulting from folding and reverse faulting in the central structural domain. However, no faults or folds' occur within this domain. Geological details of the trench floor are shown on Figurs 2.5I-6. Mapping shows that from Statior.4 10+40 to 10+20, Zone 3 stra:a are lying sandstones and shales which exhibit an areal structurai dip of 20-l 60SE. Section 2.5I.2.4 gives a detailed description of Zone 3 strata. Joints are well developed, mineralized with calcite, and stained with iron oxides that impart a distinct coloration to the bedrock. Joints are invariably parallel to the main N450 E fault structure and the areal folding trend (Figure 2.5I-21). Between Stations 10+20 and 9+98, Zone 3 strata increase in dip to 60-15 SE. 0 Steepening in the areal structural dip from the observed 2 -60SE is related to folding and 0 subsequent reverse faulting (Figure 2.5I-5). At Station 9+98, Zone 3 strata change to shales and fossiliferous sandstones of Zone 2. The lithologic aspects of Zone 2 and details of the sedimentological cri-teria for this stratigraphic division are discussed in Section 2.5I.2.2 l Zone 2 straga exposed between Stations 9+98 and 9+51 increase in dip from 15 -30 SE. Both jointing and the amount of calcite mineralization increase in frequency. Shales and siltstones in this area are intensely jointed and disintegrate rapidly when exposed. Fractures and joints primarily develop along bedding planes with cross joints subordinate (Figure 2.5I-6). Calcite and associated minor sulfides (pyrite, marcasite, sphalerite, chalco pyrite, and galena) are preferentially developed in sandstones and to a lessor extent in siltstones; shales are invariably barren of calcite. Details of sulfide textures, paragenesis, and occurrence are described in Section 2.51.4.4. The Zone 1/ Zone 2 contact at Station 9+51 is marked by the occurrence of marker Bed B, a thick bedded sandstone finely laminated at the top. This bed dips 350SE. Subsurface data from Borings R-27 and R-12 combined with the Trench II exposure indicate that the underlying strata strike uniformly N45 0E. Between Stations 10+40 and 9+48, structure contours (Figure 2.5I-5) show a similar strike on an areal scale. This bedding strike and dip are at variance with the reported regional dip for this part of New York State (Broughten et al,1966; Patchen, 1968; and McCann et al, 1968). Deviation in trend and dip are due to the low amplitude, southwest-plunging folds outlined by the structure contours on Figures 2.5-14 and 2.5-15. 2.5I.3.4.3 Central Structural Domain The geology and structure of the central structural domain (Stations 9+48 to 8+78) are shown on Figures 2.5I-6 and 2.5I-13. This domain exhibits two phases of faulting, with one phase post-folding of Demster Beach anticline. The principal feature of this domain consists of the main fault zone, between Stations 9+48 and 9+45, that exhibits the maximum amount of movement. Boring R-12 intersects this fault zone at a depth of 173 ft downhole which results in a strike of N450E, and dip of 700NW.

NEW HAVEN Potassium-Argon age determinations were made on clay minerals from the gouge and rock samples. The clay minerals were removed from samples by Dr. B. T. Martin, and these concentrates were checked for purity by x-ray diffraction. Results of the K-Ar dating are listed in Attachment 5. Figure 2.5I-23 shows the time relations of the samples. The siltstone sample has an inferred age of 488+14 m.y.a., which is slightly older than the acknowledged depositional age of the rock. An age older.than the depositional age of the rock indicates that the clay minerals analyzed were not heated in past geologic history to a sufficient temperature that would allow the complete escape of radiogenic argon from the clay minerals. Only when radiogenic argon is completely lost from a sample during an event can that event be dated with certainty. Consequently, the incomplete loss of argon will yield an inferred age that is significantly older than the age of the actual event. The excess age is proportional to the excess pre-event argon that did not escape and can represent an error of tens of millions of years. Since the age of the siltstone sample is older than the age of dia-genesis, it can be concluded that the heat produced during diagenesis was not sufficientay high to completely remove the excess argon produced in the clays prior to deposition. The six gouge samples give ages from 392 m.y.a. to about 430 m.y.a. The sample with the youngest age is from the largest area of gouge and area of greatest movement. This would indicate that at least some resetting and possibly a complete resetting of the clay through argon release may have occurred. The difference of almost 100 m.y. between the control sample (siltstone) and the gouge sample (T-II-26-NH, Figure 2.5I-23) indicates that a significant amount of resetting did take place. Whether enough heat was generated to completely reset the clays of the gouge samples is unknown. 2.5I.4.5 Conclusions An exact age of faulting and last movement cannot be assigned based on the mineralogical studies; yet, the various lines of evidence provide several conclusions. Fluid inclusion studies indicate that the calcite formed at depth, possibly with an overlying rock column of 2 km or more. Sulfur isotope data indicate very high 634S values, and most of the sulfide was produced by bacterial reduction of limited sulfate. Sulfur isotope data eliminate the possibility of a hypothetical igneous mass as the source of the mineralizing fluid for the sulfides and calcite. Since only nonmagnetic sulfides are present in the veins, any explanation of the fluid inclusion temperatures involving unknown magnetic activity must be precluded. Detailed petrographic studies of the vein minerals agree with this hypothesis. All deformational features in the calcite are minor. Deformation occurs in the middle of the one-time mineralized sequence. Furthermore, de-formation was not sufficiently pervasive to cpen new fractures in the preexisting mineralized areas. End stages of the mineral sequence are not deformed. Detritus (see Attachment 1) deposited during this sequence may be related to the stress relaxation interval of the fold / fault structures.

NEW HAVEN Potassium-Argon age determinations yield 6.n age of around 400 m.y. for samples of clays. However, the similarities in the clay mineralogy of the gouge samples and control samples and the probability of partial re-setting of Argon in the clays analyzed prevent a conclusive determin-ation of the age of minerals and time of last movement of *he Demster Structural Zone.
- 2. 5I. 5 Field Geophysical Surveys 2.5I.5.1 Introduction Land seismic refraction and magnetometer surveys and an offshore seismic survey were conducted in the vicinity of the Demster Structural Zone.
Seismic refraction measurements across the Demster Structural Zone showed that the zone of intensa deformation is evidenced by a seismic velocity anomaly. Subsequently, seismic coverage was extended to the southwest to investigate the trend of the structural zone and to the west to determine whether a suspected, mirror-image, structural zone exists. n e results of the seismic investigation showed no evidence of such a structural zone (Section 2.5I.5.2.4). An offshore seismic survey, including seismic refraction and reflection measurements, was conducted in the Mexico Bay area of Lake Ontario to determine whether the Demster Structural Zone could be traced and/or detected along its northeast projection. he results of the offshore seismic survey did not show any evidence of faulting in the study area (Section 2.5I.5.3.4) . A reconnaissance land magnetometer survey was undertaken across the Demster Structural Zone and its northeastern and southwestern projec-tions to determine if magnetic signature could be used to identify near-surface faulting. We land magnetometer survey was not able to accurately locate the intense deformation of the Demster Structural Zone (Section 2.5I.5.4). 2.5I.S.2 Land Seismic Refraction Survey 2.5I.5.2.1 Introduction and Purpose A seismic refraction survey was conducted in the vicinity of the Demster Structural Zone. We seismic work was completed in stages, starting in September of 1977 and ending in July 1978. A total of 23,170 ft of j seismic refraction profiling was accomplished (Figure 2.5I- 1). The overall objective of the seismic refraction survey was to determine depths to bedrock, as well as seismic (compressional) velocities of the bedrock in an attempt to delineate the known structural zone. The study began with a broad reconnaissance survey at a few selected locations in the vicinity of Boreholes R-1, R-2, R-5 and in the vicinity of the quarry (Boring R-15) during the fall of 1977. We purpose of these seismic lines was to investigate possible anomalous geologic conditions in bedrock and outline the fault zone. Amendment 5 2.5I-32 ^"*""' 2 035 155
NEW HAVEN 2.5I.6.3 Possible Causes Folding / Faulting Eastern Stable Platform he origin and possible causes of folding / faulting throughout the Eastern Stable Platform sector of central New York are much less clearly unde.r-stood than structures in the Appalachian Plateau sector to the south. They may be related in origin, yet, there.are limitations to many of the possible correlations involving geologic events, structures, and hy-potheses of origin between the provinces. The shorter-length anticlinal and synclinal structures of the Eastern Stable Platform sector (Figure 2.5-5A) exhibit some of the character-istics of the Appalachian Plateau-type folds and may has e originated due to the causes discussed in Section 2.5I.6.2. However, the folds of the Platform differ in certain critical aspects, such as:
- 1. folds occur in ordovician-Cambrian rocks within 1,000 to 2,000 ft of Precambrian basement throughout the Platform. AP-parently, these early formations are not always folded in the Appalachian Plateau sector where they occur at depth below the many regional folds (Figure 2. 5-5A) ;
- 2. thick salt beds are not a part of the rock column as they are to the south where folds are extensive in Appalachian Plateau sector. However, thick shales do occur beneath the Ordovician/ Oswego Sandstone (Pulaski and Utica Shales) and could act in a similar manner to salt to enhance thin-skin deformation;
- 3. the trend of folds is about S500W (Auburn, New Haven and Pulaski sector and beyond) while the main Appalachian Plateau trend is about east-west in New York. However, the Appalachian trend does bend and approach a southwest direction west of Seneca Lake (Figure 2.5-5A) and particularly southward into Pennsylvania. This sector of southward-trending folds does project northeastward through Auburn, the site area, and the Pulaski folds and beyond (Figure 2.5-5A);
- 4. axial planes of folds in Oswego / Mexico sector dip steeply northwestward.
A number of investigators have advanced hypotheses to account for the folding and faulting of the Eastern Stable Platform sector of central New York. Tensional deformation is recognized in the Mohawk Valley of eastern New York as the Chamhawkian Taphrogeny (Hypothesis No. 2, Sec-tion 2.5I.7.1) by Fisher (1977). This post-Taconic (post-Utica Shale) deformation is expressed principally as normal faults with a maximum displacement of 1,500 ft (Kay, 1942). The deformation is considered mid-Silurian of 430-420 m.y.a. The exact age relationships of this deformation is clouded; mapping does not show any strata younger than mid-Silurian deformed (Fisher et al,1970) . In central New York, structural contour data on the Lockport formation (mid-Silurian) de-lineate apparent northeast-trending fold structures near Auburn (Fig-ure 2.5-5A). Available evidence suggests that tensional forces were 2035 156 Amendment 5 2.5I-39 August 1979
NEW HAVEN greatest in eastern New York (i.e. , asymmetric) and resulted in north-east-trending normal faults around the Adirondack uplift and eastern edge of Tug Hill plateau such as near Utica, at Lowville and Carthage. Broad, low-amplitude folds and minor faults are recognized by Johnson (1971) in the Ordovician Black River and Trenton carbonates, some 50 mi northeast of the site. In central New York, mid-Silurian deformation has not been documented to date, but might conceivably be expressed by the southwest-plunging folds (Demster Beach, New Haven, and Mexico) and associated faulting of the site area including the Denster Structural Zone. Another possible mechanism responsible for the deformation might be asymmetric basin subsidence (related to Hypothesis No. 3, Section 2.5I.7.1); the deformation style would be a function of the existing stratigraphic thickness. For example, one could speculate that, in eastern New York, the folds associated with this deformation have been eroded away while those in Oswego County of central New York are preserved. By early De-vonian, deformation ceased and, if so, would account for the absence of northeast-trending deformation in strata younger than the Silurian. However, this trend occurs southwestward in the Appalachian Plateau. Subsidence of the sedimentary basin on an areal scale might conceivably be associated with at least'the northern part of the Appalachian basin (Hypothesis No. 3, Section 2.5I.7.1). Local folding and faulting would be attributed to forces acting from a variation in sediment thickness and differential loading. Local and areal downwarping was originally suggested by Hartnagel and Russel (1929) as a possible mechanism for the widespread folding of Paleozoic beds throughout central-southern New York. Price (1966) demonstrates that basin subsidence, due to tensional tectonics, can result in structures that are similar to ones caused by compression. Cambrio-Ordovician strata, some 75 miles northeast of the site area, are folded into broad, small-scale, northeast-trending folds (Barber and Dursnall, 1978). At localities 20 mi further to the northeast, near Ogdensburg, in the St. Lawrence lowlands, similar northeast-trending folds have been described by Chadwick (1915) as post-Ordovician. Move-ments in the basement rocks may have occurred due to strain concentrations caused by abrupt changes in basement relief (Barber and Bursnall, 1978). Uplift of the northern part of the Appalachian basin, due to Canadian shield and/or Adirondack uplift, is described in Section 2.5.1.1.4.3 as a possible origin for regional dip. If such an uplift acted differentially on the basement and overlying Paleozoic rocks, conceivably the northeast trending folding / faulting could occur as a result (Hypothesis No. 4, Section 2.5I.7.1).
