Final Environmental Statement, NUREG-0496; LaSalle County Station Units 1 anc 2
Dear Mr. YoungDlooo:
Enclosed for your review are materials related to the environmental reviea of LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2.
A t t a cnmen t I is the proposed Environmental Te chnical Specifications (ETS's - nonradiological) for our LaSalle County Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 ano 2.
Tnese Environmental Technical Specification witn limited ex ception incorporate monitcring requirements either imposed as conditions of the construction permit or as put forth in the NRC'; Final Environmental Statement (Reference 1).
The ex ceptions concern aquatic monitoring, the cooling lake monitoring program with respect to pathogens ( Attachment 2) and monitoring the revegetation of the Armstrong Run ( Attachment 3).
A t t a chment 3 also contains the results of the three-year quantitative dike vegetation study.
l Tne rationale for the aquatic monitoring provisions is the ASLAa's Yellow Creek decision as reflected in the recently issued Sequoia ETS's in which reference alone to the NPOES monitoring and reporting requirements fulfill the NRC's requirements.
The rationale for the pathogen monitoring program are in clud ed in Atta chment 2.
Since the program is underway, we would appreciate a response to the changes as soon as posslDie (within two months of the date of this letter).
The rationale for mocifying the mnnitoring requirements for revegetation of the Armstrong Run as stated in 6.3.4 of the
(,o O l LSCS-FES is contained in At ta cnment 3.
As stated therein, a 5

vegetative cover has been established on the cooling pond dike which
,i limits the rainfall runoff to a flow lower than preconstruction i
levels and inhibits oike erosion.
The Armstrong Run has been cleaned and the banks reshaped and reseeded.
Since the Armstrong Run has oeen repaired and the erosive stresses reduced below preconstruction levels, we request relief from the run revegetation-monitoring requirement.
We also request that the quantitative dike vegetative. study be terminated based on the results of the three year study.
We woulo appreciate an answer to thir request within. two months of the date of this letter.
If you have any questions concerning this letter or the attachments, please address them to this of fice.
As has been our practice with respect to Appendix A Te chnical Specifications,.two (2) copies of the attachments are submitted for your review.
A copy.
t of these materials has also been forwarded to the Region III.Of fice 4
of Inspection and Enforcement.
Very truly yours, po s
