5.0 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS Objective To define the organization, assign responsibilities, describe the environmental surveillance procedures, provide for a review and audit function and prescribe the reporting requirements in order to insure continuing protection of the environment and implement the Environmental Technical Specifications.

, 5.1 ORGANIZATION Figure 5.1-1 is a partial organization chart of the Nuclear Division l which includes groups and individuals responsible for environmental protection, environmental monitoring and the implementation of the Environmental Technical Specifications following the issuance of an operating license for Beaver Valley Unit No.1.

5.2 RESPONSIBILITY All activities within the Nuclear Division are the responsibility of the Vice President, Nuclear. He delegates the responsiblity for the radiological and ecological environmental monitoring programs to the Manager, Nuclear Safety and Licensing. He is advised by the l Off-Site Review Committee in matters relating to the environmental impact of station operation which involve proposed changes to the Environmental Technical Specifications, proposed changes to written procedures, proposed changes or modifications to station systems or equipment, evaluations of investigations, and when appropriate, recommendations to prevent recurrence of such violations.

I The Station Superintendent is the individual charged with the respon-sibility for assuring that all releases to the environment shall be limited in accordance with the Limiting Conditions for Operations as described in the Environmental Technical Specifications. Controlled

] releases are made utilizing written procedures under the direction of 1

the Shift Supervisor at the request of the Reactor Control Chemist who specifies the release rate, the station operating conditions, and the monitoring requirements which must be maintained during the release to ,

comply with the technical specifications. These activities are reviewed '

by the Results Coordinatcr and the Station Operating Supervisor and e

audited periodically under the direction of the Manager of Nuclear Safety and Licensing.  !

5.3 REVIEW AND AUDIT The Health Physicist is responsible to the Off-Site Review Committee l for reviewing the results of the Environmental Surveillance Program to determine that the sampling program is being implemented as described to verify that the environment is adequately protected under the exist-ing station operating procedures. He is also responsible for requesting that analyses be repeated or that new samples be obtained from particular locations in the case of anomalous results.

The Health Physicist is responsible to the Off-Site Review Committee l for scheduling audits utilizing various company personnel to verify that station operations including releases to the environment are conducted in such a manner that continuing protection to the environment is provided. The Health Physicist shall also have the responsibility l for reviewing off-site environmental program sampling, analyses and calibration procedures as summarized in Table 3.1-3 and 3.2-1 and described in Sections 3.0 and 5.5.1 of these specifications. The Beaver Valley Power Station Superintendent is responsible for approving I on-site procedures relative to the environent as described in Tables 2.4-2 and 2.4-4 and described in Section 2.0 and Section 5.5.1 of these specifications.

The Off-Site Review Committee functions as they relate to the Environ-mental Technical Specifications are as follows:

a. Review the reports of the Health Physicist on the results of the environmental monitoring program prior to their {

submittal to the NRC in each Annual Environmental Operating Report. See Section 5.6.1.

b. Review and make recommendations on proposed changes to the Environmental Technical Specifications and the evaluated impact of the changes.

c. Review proposed changes or modifications to plant systems or equipment and the evaluated impact which would require a change in the procedures described in (d) below.

d. Review reported instances of violations of Environmental Technical Specifications and abnormal environmental occur-rences. Where investigation indicates, evaluate and for-mulate recommendations to prevent recurrences.

e. Schedule audits of station operation with regard to the I control of releases to the environment.

5.4 ACTION TO BE TAKEN IF A LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION IS EXCEEDED i

5.4.1 Remedial Action Immediate remedial actions as permitted by these technical specifications will be implemented until such time as the limiting condition for operation is met.

5.4.2 Investigation The Manager, Nuclear Safety and Licensing shall direct that an l investigation be conducted to determine the cause of the occurrence and recommend both temporarf and permanent corrective action to prevent a recurrence. The results of this investigation shall be reviewed and approved by the Off-Site Review Committee and the Manager, Nuclear Operations. l 5.4.3 Report The occurrence shall be reported to the NRC as specified in Section 5.6.2.

5.5 PROCEDURES 5.5.1 Written Procedures Detailed written procedures, including check lists and special instructions when required, will be prepared and implemented for all activities involving releases to the environment, described in Sections 2.0 and 3.0, the sampling and monitoring of these releases and the conduct of the Environmental Surveillance Program.

These procedures will include sampling, instrument calibration, analysis, and actions to be taken when limits arc approached or exceeded. Testing and calibration frequencies of effluent alarms and monitoring instruments will be included. These frequencies will be determined from experience with similar instruments in similar environments and from manufacturers' recommendations.

5.5.2 Standard Operating Procedures Plant standard operating procedures will include, when required, sufficient precaution, limitations, and setpoints to ensure that all plant systems and components are operated in ccmpliance with the limiting conditions for operations established in Section 2.0 of these technical specifications.

5.5.3 Reviews All procedures described above, and all changes thereto, will be reviewed prior to implementation and periodically thereafter as described in Section 5.3. Temporary changes to procedures which do not change the intent of the original procedure may be made without the need for review by NRC.
