EUR SIX bMIES ENDING OC'CBER 31, 1980 2
At the end of Octcber, 1980, construction of Units 1 and 2 was 87% and 23% cmplete, respectively. The entire construction project is 64% ca:plete.
'Ihe follcwing itms in Unit 1 have received considerable attention since the last report: the permanent warehouse extension was cc:pleted, repair work was carpleted en tha south cooling tcwer, the PSW line was replacal with a steel pipeline and the discharge line was replaced in part with a concrete pipeline, the SIT drywell was carpleted, the RPV backflush was ccrpleted, and construction cn a new office housing Construction, Quality Assurar.ce, and Internal Audit was begun. Construction cn Unit 2 remained stopped.
VEHICLM bOVEbENT There were no "off limit" violaticns during the reporting period.
DUST CON'rPDL There were no cbviously emessive dust control violations during tra reporting period.
SFOKE CCNTFOL There was one smoke control violatien during the reporting period. 'Ihe air curtain destructor blcwer was cbserved cperating inefficiently because of seseral large rusted holes in the bicer pipe. Bechtel was instructed to make necessary repairs.immediately. This was accorplished during Septenter.
EROSICN COTfROL l
Rain occurred an thirty (30) separate cccasions during the reporting period with an accumlated rainfall of 25.41 inches. Runoff samples were collected on seven (7) of these instances and returned to. the laberatory for suspendai solids analysis. Minor instances of addit. tonal erosion were observed; however, the stability of the site has increasal with another growing season. Best previously reported erosion areas have been repaired, the exceptiens bei:q sane areas adjacent to PSW Line labng fran the river to the plant and scrne scattered areas in the spoils areas.
POISE CONTIOL There were no noise control violations during the reporting period.
CHEMICAL AND SOLID WASTE CONTIOL One chemical and solid waste violation was cbserved during the reporting period. A ninar oil spill was evident on Sedirent Basin "A" wtan a hydraulic line ruptured. Bechtel forces cleaned up the oil i: red.tately, 80212p gyo

- Strmary of Envircrrnental Prctection Program For Six Matths Ending Ocehar 31, 1980 Page 2 DNATERING Several significant changes were cbserved in the ground water raadings during the reporting period. OW10 had an increase in the water level of 8.6 1
feet and then a decrease of 9.0 feet. N69A was damaged by a tractor, however, no rework of the well was necessarf. Well P209 had a drf reading, then had a wee reading. W202 had a dry reading. The reportirg period was extremely dry and this undotbtedly contributed to the decrease in ground water and thus the dry readings.
VECE'IATION The site development program was continued during the reporting pericd.
l Clipping of overgrown areas continued. Both fruit trees and sawtooth oak trees 4
were closely cbserved. Survival rate of the fruit trees is greater than the oaks because scme oaks were inundated for a period of time. A corsiderable amount of wild pecan trees were grafted with desirable species during the reporting period. The grown up areas adjacent Gin Lake were leased to an area farmer to clear and grow soybeans. Even though the crop was late a large amount of soybeans was grcwn. A bushhogging contract was also ad-ministered during the reporting period which kept fringe areas frcm beccnung cvergrcwn.
TRANSMISSION LDES Feclearing of the Franklin Line was ccupleted. 'Ihe 115 KV Port Gibson tm s
GCNS Line was recleared on an as-needed basis. The slide area ccntinued to enlarge and scme emergency repair work was necessary in this area. Fernanent repair of the slide area was begun during the reporting i riod. The Baxter T
. Wilson 500 Kv Line had minor erosicn at Tower #24. Several miner erosicn areas were planted with winter grasses to prevent major erosion. A heritage suriey of the 500 Kv Ray Braswell Transmission Line was ccrpleted during the reporting period.
SEDIMENI' BASINS A AND B I
Sediment Basins A and B received considerable -attenticn during the re-
. porting period. Both basins were shcwing advanced rates of siltation. Clean-
- cut of Basin "B" was initiated during February. Cleanout of Basin "A" was begun
. during the March reporting period. Cleanout of both basins was ccupleted during
.the reportirg period.
