50-424, 50-425 Final Report on Potential 10CFR50.55(e)

Dewatering and Erosion of Backfill Gentlemen:

On November 14, 1979, Mr. E. D. Groover, QA Site Supervisor at Plant Vogtle, reported to your Mr. Tom Conlon that a potential reportable item under 10CFR50.55(e) existed at Plant Vogtle concerning dewatering and erosion of backfill.

In January,1980 Georgia Power Company presented a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that described in detail the erosion resulting in Category I backfill from heavy rainfalls. The report outlined steps that had been initiated subsequent to the erosion to facilitate resumption of backfilling operations in the power block area. Also included in the report was an engineering evaluation of the affected and adjacent areas and recommended l

methods of repair. Following the submission of the report to the NRC and concurrence by that agency with the proposed remedial measures, backfill repair work was accomplished in all areas subjected to erosion. Impl ementation of the backfill repair procedures was started in the latter part of January, 1980, and comoleted in August,1980. The repair work was accomplished in a timely manner as the backfill was being placed to prevent any further erosion.

During the period of the backfill repair operation, a Bechtel geo-technical engineer was on site to assist GPC in the interpretation of field test data and repair procedures and to provide other assistance related to geotechnical matters. At this time, it is our judgement that it is no longer l required to have this type of expertise at the site on a full-time basis.

l Therefore, the geotechnical engineer who was at the site on a long-term assign-i ment will return to the Bechtel general office. Periodic trips to the site by l geotechnical engineers, supplemented by the permanent assigned Bechtel employees, should be sufficient to fill this assignment.

. s United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Mr. James P. O'Reilly Page 2 August 29, 1980 In the attached field engineering report it can be seen from the evaluations that there was no undermining of any Category I structures as a result of the heavy rains that occurred last November. The evaluations also established that there was no damage to the existing structures. Per approved procedures, the erosion was required to be repaired before any further backfill could be placed. However, if the erosion were to have remained uncorrected, a highly unlikely and impractical event, future Category I structures located at or near these areas of erosion could have encountered settlement or other structural problems. Additionally, extensive investi-gation and evaluation to establish the adequacy of the structures to perform their intended safety functions was conducted. Also, extensive, although expected, repairs were accomplished.

Therefore, it has been concluded that the erosion of backfill consti-tutes a reportable deficiency under the criteria of Part 10CFR50.55(e).

The erosion of backfill was also evaluated under the criteria of Part-10CFR21 and does not represent a substantial safety hazard because is does not satisfy the defirition of defect as defined in paragraph 21.3 (d) (3); that is, the backfill had not been offered for acceptance.

The attached document was written to describe the actual repair work, the associated testing, and the final engineering evaluation of the integrity of the adjacent structures. Existing and future erosion and ground water control measures are also described. As such, this report plus our previous correspondence to the NRC and on-site documentation are intended to cover all relevant correspondence from the NRC, Region II and NRR, and is intended to address all outstanding concerns.

This response contains no proprietary information and may be placed in the NRC Public Document Room upon receipt.

FINAL REPORT ON DEWATERING AND REPAIR OF EROSION IN CATEGORY I BACKFILL IN POWER BLOCK AREA -

I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Heavy rainfall in early November, 1979, resulted in erosion of Category I backfill and caused a re-evaluation of groundwater centrols. On November 14, 1979, it was reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NCR) that a potential reportable item under 10CFR50.55 (e) existed at Plant Vogtle concerning dewatering and erosion of backfill. Subsequent communications to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission culminated in a summary submittal (Reference 1) en January 9, 1980, and a presentation of the summary to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on January 9, 1980, in Bethesda, Maryland.

The report outlined steps that had been initiated subsequent to the erosion to repair the affected areas and to facilitate resu=ption of backfilling operations in the power block area.

Also included in the report were a preliminary engineering evalurtion of the affected and adjacent areas and recommended methc. of repair. Following submission of the riport to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and concurrence by that agency with the proposed measures, backfill repair work was acccmplished in all areas subjected to erosion. Implementation of the backfill repair procedures was started toward the end of January, 1980, and ccmpleted in August, 1980 During the period of the backfill repair operation, a Bechtel Power Corporation geotechnical engineer was on site to provide surveillance of the overall eresion repair and groundwater program. He also assisted in the interpretation of field test data and repair precedures. In addition, Sechtel engineering personnel and a Bechte; censultant made periodic site visits i to review the repair work.

This document is wrir. ten .to describe the actual repair work, the associated esting, and the final engineering evaluation of the integrity of the adjacent structures. Existing and future erosion and groundwater control measures are also described.

II. EVAIUATION OF TESTING AND RIPAIR A. General All erosien areas identified in the power block were repaired in accordance with the precedures specified in Reference 1, except whera noted in Section II.C. In each case of variation frem Reference 1, a descriptien of the variation and technical justification for it is presented.

Prior to backfilling, field and laboratory testing was performed in each area which provided the basis for determining the depth of disturbed =cne and depth te ccmpetent existing backfill.

3. Field and Laberatorv Testing Field testing included the proving ring penetremeter, dynamic cone penetrometer, and sand cene density tests (ASTM D-1556). Laboratory testing censisted of the Modified Proctor cempaction test (ASTM D-1557). All tests were performed in accordance with the precedures described in the Appendix to this Report.

Prior to testing, the dynamic cene penetrc=eter was calibrated against the Standard Penetratien Test (SPT) for Category I backfill materials. A total of six SPT test berings were drilled in undisturbed Category I backfill to a maxi =um depth of 5-feet. SPT tests were performed centinuously frem the surface dcwn to 5-feet in accordance with ASTM D-1536. Adjacent to the SPT test borings, a total of ten dynamic cone penetrc=eter tests were made at 6-inch intervals in holes drilled dcwn to a maximum depth of 4-feet. The results of these tests are su==arized in Table 1. Test results are shewn in Figures 2 and 3.. Based on these tests, the calibration ratio of the SPT resistance to the Dynamic cone penetrc=eter resistance is roughly 1 for the range of blowccunts recorded. No correlation tests were made for the preving ring penetremeter. The use of proving ring and dyna =ic cone penetremeters was limited only to a qualitative evaluation of the backfill ec=paction. These tests were used cnly to determine the depth of ec=petent fill and were not intended to determine the percent ecmpaction. Final control testing was done using the sand cone test methed in conjuncticn with the laboratory Modified Procter ec=paction test. Ecwever, based en the experience obtained from the use of the preving ring penetremeter, a reading of 2 cr greater indicated that the sand cene, test methed would shew a degree of compactica greater than 97 percent. This criterien was used to determine the depth of disturbed :ene in Category I backfill slopes where it was not p Jible to perform sand cene density tests. .

i C. Evaluation of Specific Areas .

1. Area between Centrol Building Electrical Shafts Units 1 and 2 and Turbine Building:

Ercsion in this vicinity was identified as Areas 1, 2, 3,15,16 and 18 respectively (Figure 1) . Areas 1, 2, 3,15 and 16 referred to eresien areas along the Turbine Building south slepe; Area 18 referred to the area between the toe of the Turbine Building south slepe and the edge of the Control Building shafts'

=udslab. All these areas wera repaired in accordance with the procedures speciiied in Reference 1.

The Turbine Su'ilding slepe was reworked to a minimum of 1.5 heri ental to 1.0 vertical and then gunited for erosion protection (see Section IV) . This involved removal cf a portion of the Turbine Building mudslab and scme Turbine Building base slab steel reinferec=ent bars. After reshaping the slepe, the minimum distance frc= the top of the slope to the nearest edge of the existing Turbine Building base mat was apprxcimately 19-feet. This was consistent with the minimum distance specified in Reference 1.

Figure 4 shows a typical section of the reworked slope.

In Area 18, the depth of disturbed :ene, as determined by proving ring penetremeter and sand cene tests, was apprcximately 2-feet. Sand cone density tests were performed every 20-feet along the perimeter in this area. Test results are su=marized in Table 2 A l

typical cross-section through Area 18, showing the excent of disturbed material re=cved, is presented in Figure 5.

2. Area between Unit 1 Containment Tenden Gallery and Unit 1 Electrical Tunnel:

Eresien areas for repair in this area were identified as Areas 4, 5 and 6 respectively (Figure 1) .

Areas 4 and 6 refer to erosion along the slepe adjacent to the Unit 1 Electrical Tunnel east wall mudslab.

Area 5 refers to erosien in the backfill between the tunnel east wall and the Unit 1 Tendon Gallery.

Along the Unit 1 Electrical Tunnel east wall, dynamic cone penetremeter tests were performed to a maximum depth of 4-feet belcw the bottom of the =udslab.

Prior to the tests, the =udslab was cere-cut at the test locations approximacely 2-feet frcm the edge of the wall. The locations of these tests are shcwn en -

a maximum depth of 1-foot.* The procedure specified that all further stages of sicpe repair work and backfilling be done at height and depth increments of 1.5-feet and 1.0-foct respectively. Subsequent to the erosion last year, the undisturbed Electrical runnel slope surface was protected by polyethylene sheeting, on which a layer of loose fill was placed.

The entire slope was then gunited. Apparently, no bend existed between the existing icese fill and gunite with Category I backfill because of the polyethylene sheeting. Censequently, the protection system became unstab)) when the icwer section was removed, necessitating removal of the full height rather than in 1.5-foot increments.

The intent of the specified repair procedure was to prevent long-term exposure of the undisturbed fill slope prior to backfilling. This was satisfie.d, since backfilling was acecmplished expediticusly in the eest-west direction in slope lengths not exceeding 1G-feet. This involved removing the gunite and icose fill to a height dictated by practical considerations but restricting the working slope to a segment 10-feet long, thus limiting the aren exposed to possible erosien during the repair work.

Hea 7 compaction equipment was b.$t permitted near t.Ee' slope during the remedial work. It was used only after the adjacent 30-fcot width of backfill had been raised to the same elevation as the top of the slope by the use of hand-ccmpaction equipment.

In the other areas east and south of the slope, where erosion had taken place, all disturbed material was

removed pric
to backfilling. The pie:cmeter readings i in the area indicated tre water table to be at least 2-feet below the existing backfill surface.

Backfilling was acccmplished in accordance with the approved procedures.

3. Unit 1 Centainment Area:

Eresien outside the Unit 1 Containment area was identified as Areas 7, 8, 9, 19 and 20 respectively (Figure 1) . Area 7 had been repaired earlier in Nove=ber, 1979 (Reference 1) . Areas 8, 9 and 19 were repaired in accordance with specified procedures. The ~

depth of the disturbed :ene was determined by proving ring penetrcmeter probing. The disturbed fill was excavated to ecmpetent fill material and backfilled.

At least one sand cone density test was made in each ef the above areas pric: to fill placement. Area 20, l i

.j which delineated a washout in the backfill below the expansion joint opening between the Tendon Gallery l Unit 1 and the Auxiliary Building north wall, was backfilled by pumping grout into the void. This work was done in accordance with the approved procedures and the grouting pressure was maintained below 5 psi.

For the inside area between the Tendon Gallery and the Reactor Cavity, no specific erosion areas were identified in Reference 1. However, it was stated in Reference 1 that all d . curbed fill in the area would be excavated and removed by using field density testing and probing procedures. A minimum of three sand cone density tests were specified at equidistant locations around the inside perimeter of the Tenden Gallery mudslab.

The NRC, in a letter to Georgia Power Company , (GPC) ,

directed that for the Unit 1 Tendon Gallery an investigative approach similar to that proposed by GPC for Unit 2 he followed to determine the extent of any erosien around the Tenden Gallery foundation (Reference 2). For Unit 2 Containment, a number of dynamic cone penetrometer and sand cone density tests were proposed around the inside perimeter of the Tendon Gallery--mudslab., Accordingly, a orogram of in situ density testing around tha inside perimeter of the Unit 1 Tenden Gallery mudslab was developed by Bechtel for the purpose of verifying the ccmpetency of the backfill. Dynamic cene penetremeter tests taken at seventeen locations shown in Figure 9 were performed below the mudslab after core-cutting through it. These tests were made to a maximum depuh of 3-feet.

A summary of the test results is in Table 4. Figure 10 represents a plot of the penetremeter blewcounts with depth.

The test data indicate that high blewcounts were obtained at all the test locations. These blewcounts ranged from 14 to 77 blows for 1-3/4 inches penetration and increased with depth except in a few locations.

Sand cone testing, as discussed below, was done in this area and the results cenfirmed that the fill meets the ecmpaction criteria even though lower cone penetration resistance with depth was recorded in a few locatiens.

Based on the correlation ratio obtained between the dynamic col. penet cmeter and standard penetration resistances (Section II .3. ) , the data indicated that high. Standard Penetration Test resistances could be expected below the mudslab.

Attempts were made to extract Shelby tube samples f cm I the penetremeter test holes, so that the in situ density l cf backfill below the mudslab could be determined for i

Tendon Gallery on the inside of the Containment area.

Extensive testing was performed in this area around the perimeter of the partial Tendon Gallery to ascertain whether the base slab had been undermined.

Dynamic cone, proving ring penetremeter, and sand done density tests were carried out as specified in Reference 1. No Shelby tube samples were attempted for the reasons stated in Section II.C.4.

Dynamic cone penetremeter tests were performed below the mudslab at a distance of approximately 1.5-feet frem the edge of the Tendon Gallery. These tests were run at 10-foot centers along the perimeter to a maximum depth of 3-feet. Test locations are shown on Figure 12. The results of these tests are su=marized in Table 5 and shown plotted in Figure 13. As in Unit 1, the cone penetrometer resistances in Unit 2 were consistently high and increased with depth. The' data indicate that the backfill immed3stely adjacent to the Tendon Gallery base slab was dense and, therefore, had not been subjected to erosion.

The Tendon Gallery mudslab extended to approximately 3.5-feet frem the edge of the base slab and was

  • emoved.to within 2-feet of the base slab. By means

_ of the proving ring pene'remeter, it was determined that disturbed material extended (horizontally) to a maximum of 4-inches under the sawed-eff edge of the mudslab. After the mudslab was removed, thirteen sand cone density tests were made immediately at what was previously the interface between the =udslab and the backfill. Results of these tests are su==arized in Table 2. Values of relative ecmpacticn ranging from 102.1 to 107.4 percent were obtained; these values confirmed the results yielded by cone penetrometer -

tests.

Immediately af ter the tests were completed, minor additional erosion occurred as a result of a rainstorm.

The area was retested ar..d repaired in accordance with appreved procedures. The maximum extent of disturbed backfill under the mudslab was increased to about 10-inches. This situation was remedied by the procedure illustrated in Figure 14 and outlined below,

a. All loose material was removed frem belew the mudslab and 1-foot away frem it. Proving ring p.enetremeter tests were made to assure that all disturbed material was removed.
b. A form was placed 1-fcot away frem the edge of the mudslab. .

a ._ _.

c. Cbncrete was placed to within 2 to 3-inches of the bottom of the mudslab.
d. The remaining 2 to 3-inches, as stated in "c" above, was drypacked to assure that no voids remained under' the mudslab.

Dewatering of the bacxfill in thit 2 Containment was achieved by a series of eductor type wellpoints that were extended frcm a line of wellpoinu nurth of the Auxiliary Building. The water table in the backfill was I:cnitored by m3ans of three short-term piezcmeters. At the time backfilling operations were resumed in the area, the water table had been effectively lowered to at least 6-feet below the fill surface.

5. Area between U.it 2 Contai.mant 'Ibndon Gallery and Electrical Tunnel:

Erosion in this area was identified as Areas 10,11, 12, and 13 (Figure 1) . Areas 10 and 11 were repaired in late 1979, as described in Reference 1. Areas 12 and 13 were repaired in February, 1980, in accordance with approved procedures.

Heavy rains on Saturday, March 8, 1980, caused additional erosion alcng tha west wall of Unit 2 Electrical Turmel which was repaired as described in Reference 3.

6. Electrical Tunnel, Unit 2, East Side:

An nMitional erosien area occurred below the mudslab of the Electrical Tunnel, Unit 2, in July, 1980. This erosicn, was caused by construction water due to a hose failure. The m.i- v mum depth of erosion below the basemat was 0.8-feet and it extended approximately 1.8-feet below the turmel base slab for a distance of approxistely 0.8-feet. (See Figure 15) . The area was repaired in accordance with approved procedures.

III. FINAL ENGINEERING EVALUATION CF STRUC'"UF2 FCUNDATIONS A preliminary evaluation of the effects of the backfill erosien en the s eactural integrity of each s'-" -~~e in the pcwer bicek area was submitted in Reference 1. It was concluded that no undermining of Categcry I foundations had cecurred as a result of the erosien caused by the rainfall of early Neve=ber, 1979. This applied to all structures except fer the Centainment Unit 2 Tenden Gallery, where additional information was recuired for an evaluatien of its structural integrity.

During the period of erosien repairs, additional infer =atien was developed to suppert the preliminary conclusions arrived at in Ref erence 1 and to evaluate the structural integrity of Contain=ent Unit 2 Tenden Gallery. This infc==atien censisted of settlement data, field test, data, and visual inspection of backfill surface fellcwing re eval of mudslab. Based on these data, it has been concluded that no undermining of Category I -

foundations had ccetrred as a result of the erosica caused by the rainf all of early November,1979, including the Containment Unit 2 Tenden Gallery.

A final evaluation of the integrity of the foundatien of each structure is presented below.

A. Containment Unit 1 Inside the Centainment area along the inside peri =eter of the Tenden Gallery foundation, extensive field testing revealed that the backfill adjacent to the fcundatien was in a very dense condition. The relative cc=paction of the backfill as obtained fr== sand cene density tests ranged frcm 96.9 to 106.8 percent (Table 2). Dynamic cene penetrc=eter tests indicated high resistance, and these resistances inc;?ased with depth (Table 4, Figure 10) . ,

. These test results were supported by visual inspection of the backfill surface beneath the Tenden Gallery foundatien

udslab. Af ter the =udslab had been re=oved to within 3-feet of the foundation base slab, inspection revealed no evidence of any erosien features in the fill. The fill surface and slepe against the mudslab were devcid of any erosien channels, nor was there any evidence of icss of density. It has been concluded that no piping of fines occurred belcw the Tenden Gallery fcundation. If piping had occurred, it would have manifested itself in the f==

of erosien adjacent to the Tenden Gallery foundation' mudslab.

Two settle =ent markers were installed to menitor settle =ent of the Tenden Gallery foundatien. These markers, designated as Nos. 323 and 324, were 1ccated as shewn en Figure 16. A plot of settle =ent versus time fer the .

peried January 1 through July 1, 1990, is shewn en 6

m---w----- .-w- ., , _ _ _ _ _ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , _

Figure 16-1. The plot indicate.s that the observed settlements to date are small. The maximum settlement recorded is on the order of 0.26 inch, which is reaser.able censidering the current leading and the limits of the survey accuracy.

The effect of the erosien on the outside of the Centainment area en the integrity of the Containment structure was evaluated in Reference 1. All these were localized areas and were repaired as described in Section II.C. As stated in Reference 1, no damage was caused to the Tandon Gallery foundation as a result of erosien in these localized areas.

In su:= nary, the Unit 1 Tendon Gallery wall foundation was not jeepardized by the heavy rainfall cf early November, 1979. It has been concluded from field test data and visual observations that no erosion occurred below the Tendon Gallery base slab.

3. Turbine Building Units 1 and 2 The Turbine Building foundation base slab was not subjected to any erosion. The erosion that occurred was confined to the scuth slege, off the south side of the Turbine Building =udslabs. Erosion gulleys extending to a maximum of 4-feet below the mudslab caused cracking to occur in the mudslab. During repair all cracked sections of the mudslab were removed and the erosion gulleys were cut back to sound material at a slope of 1.5 hcrizontal to 1.0 vertical.

All other sections of the Turbine Building south slepe that were steeper than 1.5 horizontal to 1.0 vertical were rewerked to 1.5 horizontal to 1.0 vertical and then protected from erosien by guniting. The minimum setback distance frem the top of a 1.5 horizontal to 1.0 vertical slope to the edge of the existing Turbine Building base slab was determined by a slepe stability analysis to be approximately 20-feet (Reference 1). This requirement was met even though the nonconforming slope had to be cut back substantially to satisfy the design criteria for temporary Category I fill sicpes.

Settlement of the Turbine Building base slab was =enitored by ts i settlement markers, Nos. 303 and 310 Crigure 16) .

Readings were taken on a weekly basis during the period January 1 through July 1,1980. These readings are shcwn plotted on Figure 16-2. The maximum observed settle =ent is on the erder of 0.16 inch, which is reasonable considering the current leading cendition and the limits of the survey accuracy.

. r In summary, the Turbine Building base slab was not andermined by erosion. The affected sections of the mudslab have been removed and the slope reworked,to conform to the specifications.

C. Centrol Building Shafts Units 1 and 2 Erosien of backfill f.n the Control Building shafts area occurred at least 2-feet away frem the permanent foundations. Visual inspection showed that the foundatiens were not affected by erosien. All disturbed areas in the prcximity of the Control Building shafts were repaired in accordance with the specified procedures.

Settlement in these areas is discussed under Items "D" and "E" below.

D. Electrical Tunnel Unit 1 Along the Unit 1 Electrical Tunnel east wall, the data .

cbtained frem cone penetrcmeter and sand cone density

! tests indicated that the backfill adjacent to the tunnel foundation was in sound condition. The disturbed material in the two eresion areas along the slope adjacent to the foundation was carefully removed by hand excavation and the areas backfilled in accordance with the precedure described in Section II.C.2. A visual inspection made prior to backfill revealed that the zone of erosion in both areas did net extend to belew the tunnel foundation.

Based en a slope stability analysis done earlier for the Unit 1 Electrical Tunnel foundation, it was determined that there was no potential for a deep-seated slepe failure in the backfill (Reference 1). Mincr surface ravelling could have occurred in areas where the slope protection system had been resoved. It was further determined that even if minor sliding should occur close to the fcundation, the integrity of the existing tunnel wculd not be affected because of the rigidity of the foundation slab. Visual inspection showed no evidence of ravelling of undisturbed Category I backfill in areas where gunite protection had been removed. Any potential for sicughing er ravelling of the slepe was precluded by expediticusly backfilling to the top cf the slepe.

prior to backfilling against the slepe, two additienal settlement markers (423-1-A and 423-1-3) were installed along the east wall approximately 30 and 60-feet acrth of an existing =arker No. 423-1 (Figure 16). These two markers were read en a daily basis frem the time the slope protectich system was remcved " *4' "ackfilling to the top of the slepe was completed. In addition, settlement markers 423-1 and 420-1 were read en a weekly basis from

1 i

,s .

l January, 1980, onward. Plots of settlement versus time l for the markers are shown on Figures 16-4A and 16-43. '

The maximum recorded settlement was on the order of 0.2 inch, which is reasonable considering the current leading ,

and the linits of the survey accuracy. 1 In su= mary, both field test data and visual observations indicate that the Unit 1 Electrical Tunnel foundation was not affected by erosion adjacent to the foundation. The erosion was outside the limits of the existing foundation and was successfully repaired to conform to the specifications.

E. Electrical Tunnel Unit 2 The effect of the four erosion areas along the Unit 2 Electrical Tunnel west wall (Figure 1) on the tunnel foundation was evaluated in Reference 1. The erosion was limited to the tunnel foundation mudslab except in one instance (that which occurred in September, 1979) where "

it extended about a foot below the foundation itself. The erosion was subsequently repaired in accordance with the specified repair procedures.

The additional erosion that occurred along the west wall in Marchr 1380, was. evaluated and repaired as described

~

in Reference 3. <

The erosion along the east wall which occurred in July, 1980, was evaluated and repaired in accordance with approved procedures.

A plot of settlement versus time for the Unit 2 Electrical Tunnel foundation is shown on Figure 16-3. Small settlements, on the order of 0.2 inch, were recorded, which are reasonable considering the current leading condition and the limits of the survey accuracy.

It was concluded that the erosion had not affected the permanent foundation.

F. Containment Unit 2 - Partial Tendon Gallery There were two specific areas of erosion in the Containment Unit 2 area. Area 14 was at least 50-feet away from the west end of the partially built Tendon Gallery wall (Figure 1) . This area was repaired as described in Section II.C. 4.

Area 17 pertained to the area surrounding the ccepleted segment of the Tendon Gallery wall foundation. Extensive testing was performed in the area adjacent to the Tendon Gallery foundation. The test data obtained showed that .

13 -

the backfill adjacent to the foundation was dense. Visual inspection revealed that some erosion had occurred at the edge of the mudslab along a few sections of the inside perimeter. A portion of the mudmat was removed and by means of the proving ring penetrometer it was established that the erosion extended to approximately 18-inches from the edge of the foundation. It was concluded that this erosion was caused by run-off flowing along the periphery of the Tendon Gallery wall and flowing away toward the Auxiliary Building. The fill surface and slope against the mudslab were devoid of any erosion channels, nor was there any evidence of loss of density. It has been concluded that no piping of fines occurred below the Tendon Gallery foundation. If piping had occurred, it would have manifested itself in the form of erosion adjacent to the Tendon Gallery foundation mudslab.

Minor additional erosion occurred below the mudmat due tn rainfall that occurred i= mediately after the evaluation tests were complete. However, the zone of disturbed material was at least 1-foot away from the Gallery foundation. The disturbed material was excavated, and the area was backfilled following approved repair procedures.

Three settlement markers had been installed to monitor

! settlement of the Tendon Gallery foundation. These markers, designated as Nos. 425, 426 and 427, were-located as"shown -

on Figure 16. A plot of setticment versus time for the period January 1, 1980, through July 1, 1980, is shown on Figure 16-5. The data indicate that a maximum settlement of 0.17 inch was recorded, which is considered reasonable for the current loading condition and the limits of the survey accuracy. It was concluded from field test data and visual observations that the Unit 2 containment Tendon Gallery was not affected by erosion adjacent to the foundation.

+ G. Auxiliary Buildine and NSCW Towers The Auxiliary Building and NSCW Towers were founded on the marl formation. The Auxiliary Building base mat is approximately 22-feet below the top of the marl. The NSCW Towers are founded approximately 3-feet below the marl surface. Therefore, none of these structures were affected by the erosion in the backfill.

IV. SURFACE WATER CONTROL -

Several steps have been taken to prevent the recurrence of significant erosion due te rainfall. These steps include increasing the protection against externally generated stor=

run-off entering the power bicek excavatien, preventing the uncontrolled-flew cf storm run-off within the pcwer block excavatien by use of temporary ditches and ber=s, increasing the use of slepe protection, and increasing the capacity for pt= ping ster = run-cff cut of the pcwer bicek excavation. As backfill progresses r the ru = =. i n e. sche =e and casacities will be altered to meet any new requirements caused by the changing configuration of the backfill. ,

A. External Run-Off Centrol The effective height of the hers surrcunding the tcp cf the pcwer bicek excavation, including the crests cf ra=ps entering the excavatien, has been raised apprcxi=ately 2-1/2 feet. This has effectively precluded the entrance .

of externally generated ster = run-off into the excavation.

3. Centrol of Storm Run-Off Within the ?cwer 31cek Excavatien All backfill surfaces are sleged so that run-off ficws away frem fill sicpes and away frem buildings to swales which flew to su=ps. Run-eff ecliec-ad ** the sumps is c.u=ced cut of the excavation to existing discharc.e c.it.in-3 and discharge channels which ficw away frem the excavau.icn.

An 18-inch berm is provided at the tcp of the fill slope south of the Turbine Building to prevent run-off frem ficwing to lower elevations.

C. Slece Protection Gunite has been applied to all long-ter= expcsed sicpes in an extensive pregram to prevent eresien in the event of heavy rainfall. Short-term sleges are protected with plastic sheeting.

D. Pum ine Capacity Run-off is re=cved frem the pcwer bicek excavation at three primary lecations. Water collected in the Turbine Building area is pu= ped frem a su=p in the northeast corner of the excavatien. Isclated areas which cannet drain around the Turbine Building are pu= ped to this su=p.

j Run-cff cellected in the scutheast corner area is pumped frem this area. The remaining areas, which cer.stitute a majcrity of the total area, drain to and are pu= ped frem several su=ps in the scuthwest area of the pcwer bicek.

l l

Figure 17, Surface Water Control, shcws the location of the st=ps along with punping capacity. The pumping systen in the rortheast corner is capable of pumping 2000 gpm. Five punping systers located in the southwest area of the power block have a total capacity of 6575 gym. Two syste-s located in the south-east area have a total capacity of 2625 gpn. The total tpacity of all systers is 11,200 gpn. The pump capacities shown en Fig"re 17 are as-built conditions and may be increased.

Calculations were made based on 5-inches of rainfall to deternine the amount of water that would collect in the power block and the length of time necessary to re:cm this run-off frem the power block. A 10-year sto=n with a duration of 12-hours would produce 4.5-inches of rainfall; a 50-year stcrm with a duration of 24-hours wculd crovide 10-irdes of rainfall. Figure 17 shows the amount of rainfall.and the length of time needed to rerove the run-off frcm each area. These figures are based on having approximately 4500 gan of groundwater entering the powar block and show that the existing systen can adequately handle both the 10-year,12-hour storm and the 50-year, 24-hcur ;tonn. Several areas of the ;:cwr block may also be utili::ed to store rainfall for later receval.

The rortheast simp has a capacity of approximately 450,000 gallons, the southwest area has a storage capacity of approximately 1.7-million gallons, and the Auxiliary Building and its simps may store 200,000 gallons without causing any harm to equipnent.

E. Construction Water The arcunt and use of construction water is controlled. Excess -'

water is directed to ccanon collection points and removed frcm the pcwer block excavation by the surface wa.ter pumping systen.

criteria were tested in accordance with AST.v. D-1888 using a 40 to 50 =icron filter to deter =ine the a= cunt of sand particles and a 0.45 =icron filter for total suspended solids.

The criteria used limited the a= cunt of sand particles in the discharge water to 5 ppm and total suspended solids to 50 ppm. Frequen: visual and laboratory testing on wellpoint discharge water indicated that the criteria for sand particles and total suspended solids were satisfied.

3. Dewatering Syste=s
1. Types There are basically three types of dewatering systems utilized to control groundwater in the power block excavation. The three types are edue c: wellpoint syste=s, a vacuum wellpoint system, and trench drai=

systems. The eductor (also called ejector) systems were used for dewatering the fellcwing areas:

(1) the area along the north wall of the Auxiliary Building and later extensien to Centain=ent Unit 2, (2) slepes east of Centainment Unit 1, and (3) slepes adjacent to Centain=ent Unit 2 The eductor type system was chosen for these areas because of its ability to pu=p frem depths exceeding that of the conventional vacuum wellpoint installatien (IS ) .

The eductor system utilizes'a double =anifold, che a supply and the ether a return line, which circulates water through educters which are connected to the wellpoint. This results in the develep=ent of a vacuum at the wellpoint elevatien rather than at the ground surface. Eductor wellpoints were installed in maxi =u= 10-inch diameter holes drilled with rotary

, equipment using Revert. Apprcpriately graded filter material was installed.

A vacuum wellpoint system was installed inside the Centain=ent Unit 1 area to lcwer the grcundwate: in the backfill. This type of system is applicable where the depth of water does not exceed 13'_+, since it empicys the use of a conventiona vacuum wellpcin pc=p which applies the vacuum at the header =anifcid level. Installation of the wellpoints was si=ilar to that used for the educter syste=s.

Trench drains were installed in the =arl in areas where backfill had not yet been placed. Their function is to centrol future groundwater build-up-in the backfill, due to rainfall. Trench drains were installed scucheast

of the Auxiliary Building and are presently being l Planned for installation southwest of it. Attempts to install a trench drain along the toe of the slope directly east of Containment Unit 1 were abandoned in favor of the eductor wellpoint methcd i due to the difficulty caused by wet conditions along the toe of the slope. A typical detail of the trench I I

drains used is shown on Figure 18.

2 Specific Locations  ;

Approximately 30-feet north of the north wall of the Auxiliary Building an eductor system, consisting of 51 eductor wellpoints on 5-foot centers, was installed to dewater the area for backfill operations. This system was later extended into Containment Unit 2 by the addition of 47 eductor wellpoints ,on 5-foot centers.

r Along the inside perimeter of Containment Unit 1 a

~

vacuum wellpoint system, consisting of 52 we11 points on 5-foot centers, was installed. This system satisfactorily lcwered the water level to pemnit backfill to proceed in this area.

Along the top of the slope east of Containment Unit 1 and along the top of the slope west of Containment Unit 2, two additional eductor systems were installed.

These systems consisted of 50 eductor wellpoints on 5-foot centers on the east side and 82 eductor

, wellpoints on 5-foot centers on the west side. These l wellpoints satisfactorily dewatered the east and west l

slopes to permit backfilling against the slopes.

At the southeast corner of the Auxiliary Building a trench drain was installed at the toe of the new l backfill slope. This trench drain will minimize future l seepage from the toe of the slope, so that backfill operations may continue when needed.

At the southwest corner of the Auxiliary Building another trench drain is planned. The toe of the future slope will be pir:ad over the trench. This will permit backfilling against this slope at a later dace.

l The locations of the above dewatering systems are shown on Figure 19.

(

3. System Performance Discharge rates from the various wellpoint installations, both eductor and vacuum types, were quite low, generally less than 5 gym from a system. This was due mainly to

+ . . .

the relatively low perneability of the backfill.

Even though discharge rates were significantly less than originally anticipated, prolonged pumping produced noticeable drawdown in the vicinity of the we11 points.

Permeability of Backfill - A preliminary estimate of backfill permeability based en a consideration of grain size was about 0.01 ft./ min. Pumping rates based on this permeability were estimated to range frcm 36 gpm initially down to 13 gym after prolonged pumping (Reference 1). Actual pumping rates of the various installations were significantly less than these amounts, apparently due to the backfill having a lower permeability than estimated. Later field permeability testing, using falling head tests on previously installed pie:cmeters, indicated typical backfill permeabilities to range frem about 3x10-4 to.

7x10-4 ft./ min. The most reasonable explanation for these relatively low permeabilities is the high degree of compaction of the backfill, notwithstanding that the backfill is generally quite clean (less than 10%

passing a #200 sieve).

Drawdown Influence - Due to the re~atively lcw permeability of the backfill material, the drawdown effected by the we11 point dewatering systems was restricted to the i= mediate vicinity of the wellpoints.

Maximum drawdown along.a line of we11 points, based on observations made on we11 point pie:ometers, was about 10-feet decreasing rapidly with distance from the we11 points. It is doubtful that any drawdown was exerted beyond about 50-feet away from a line of wellpoints. Figure 21 illustrates groundwater elevations, with approximate centours, for 12/27/79,

, 2/5/80 and 5/5/80.

APPENDIX A. FIELD TESTING AND SAMPLING PROCIOURES r

1. Procedure for Dvnamic Cone Penetremeter Test In order to perform dynamic cone penetremeter tests, the mudslab was first cere-cut at the test locations.

A hand auger was then used to auger to a depth of 1-foot, at which depth the cone penetremeter device was icwered into the hole. The cone was driven at least 2-inches into the hole to insure that it was properly seated. The number of blews required to seat the cone was reccrded. After seating, the cone was driven a further 1-3/4 inches into the hole and the number of bicws recorded as the penetrometer resistance value, Driving was accomplished by means of a 15-pound .

steel ring weight drepping a height of 20-inches on an E-rod slide drive (see attached sketch) . The hole was then augered dcwn to depths of 2, 3 and 4-feet and the test repeated at each depth. All tests were run above the water table to insure that the test results were not inf32enced by inflew and soil softening inside the bore hole.

All dynamic cone penatremeter tests were performed by GPC Quality Control personnel.

2. Procedure fer Provine Rine Penetremeter Test Proving ring penetremeter tests were performed at specified locations to determine the depths of disturbed ene in the backfill. The tests were performed at depth intervals of 6-inches as required to reach competent material. Testing was acccmplished by pushing the penetrcmeter into the scil perpendicular to the surface 1 at a uniform rate until the top of the penetremeter cone was reached. At this point the proving ring dial was read. If the reading indicated a disturbed cne, the testing was continued to greater depths. This was done by shevelling away the disturbed material and testing at approximately 6-inch depth intervals until competent material was reached. At this point the penetremeter was moved to another specified test locatien.

All preving ring penetremeter tests were perfcrmed by GPC Quali,ty Centrol personnel, A-1
