All the work was not completed as indicated above and that which was has had little environmental effect on the site beyond those areas affected by Davis-Besse Unit 1 activity.
8.
As a result of the cancellation of the Davis-Besse Units 2 and 3, the Applicants propose to undertake the following work (which is described in the Inspection Reports) on the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station site:
1 a.
The temporary construction office facilities (separate and connected trailers) will be removed from the site.
The temporary above ground electric service will also be removed.
(The area between N9,500 and N10,000 around E9,500 on drawing 6670TP-P-C002 of the attachment to Applicants' letter of November 26,1980.)
b.
The existing construction material stockpiled throughout the material storage area and the construction equipment will be removed from the site when dispositioned.
(This may extend beyond the fall of 1981.)
c.
The west side of the wave protection dike will be seeded.
d.
Throughout the site, wherever earth mounds or trenches occur, they will be contoured as necessary and covered with topsoil to enhance the wildlife habitat.
e.
The eight ponds created by construction excavation will remain as waterfowl and wildlife habitat. The banks of the ponds will be graded as required.
f.
The existing topsoil stockpile will be utilized throughout the site in strategic areas as ground cover for vegetation restoration purposes.
g.
Landscaping and vegetation restoration will enhance the site's natural environment. In developing the details of this effort, compatibility with wildlife areas adjacent to the site will be considered. The details will be.
finalized by the. Environmental Activities Division of the Toledo Edison Company.
h.
Approximately 100 grout pipes remaining from.the remedial grouting would be cut off and plugged prior to backfilling the excavation.
. 9.
We agree with the conclusion stated in the Inspection Reports that the Applicants' plan for redress of the site, incorporating the activities described above, is acceptable.
In particular, as indicated in the Inspection Report:
a)
The intended impact of the plan on the natural environment will be positive, b)
The definitive reconditioning plan will be based on con-siderations such that the site will be improved to encourage wildlife in the area.
If the plan is satisfactorily carried out, the plan will maintcin the integrity of the site, considering that there is an operating nuclear plant (Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1) on the site.
