Dear Ms. Harrison:

Please excuse my delay in returning your letter of October 18, 1978 with my concurring signature (Enclosure 1).

The delay was partly because of our desire to have a commitment from the applicant that your suggestions regarding additional conditions to the mitigation plan for Archeological Site 12 JE 119/120 would be followed (see ).

We also wanted assurance from the Indiana State Historic Preservation Officer that the conditioned mitigation plan was satis-factory and that the applicant's archeological consultant was qualified (see Enclosure 3).

Thank you for the excellent cooperation we have received from your office.

Sincerely, taeX W / lbl4 /

okld L. Ballard, Chief Environmental Projects Branch No.1 Division of Site Safety

DIRECTOR December 13, 1978 Mr. Ronald L. Ballard, Chief Environmental Projects Branch 1 Division of Site Safety and Environmental Analysis U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Connission Washington, D.C.

20555

Dear Mr. Ballard:

I am writing in reply to your letter of November 8th regarding the proposed archaeological mitigation to be done at the Marble Hill Nuclear Generating Station in Jefferson County, Indiana.

Although not specifically stated, our letter of September 1,1978, implies that it is our opinion that in-place preservation of archaeological site 12 JE 119/120 is not necessary to fulfill the purposes setforth in the State Historic Preserva-tion Plan. Furthermore, we believe that the recovery of the scientific material at the site will not impair any community, ethnic, or social group.

We have on file a resume for Dr. John Dorwin of the Blocmington, Indiana, Office of Soil Systems, Inc.

Dr. Darwin meets the minimum qualifications for an archaeo-logist as established by the Department of the Interior.

Please advise us should you have any further questions regarding this project.

Very truly yours, 1
