ENCLOSURE 1 Hydrologic Engineering Section Environmental Review Questions Limerick Generating Station 1 & 2 Docket Nos. 50-352/353 E240.29 A.

The water level in the Delaware River at the Point Pleasant (3.4)

Diversion site is controlled primarily by the Lumberville Wing Dam and to a lesser degree by an apparently inoperative gate in the Delaware and Raritan Canal at Bull's Island, hydraulically adjacent to the Wing Dam.

In an inspection of this gate dructure it appeared that water was being held back by wooden stop logs which can be expected to further

~

deteriorate over the life of the plant (40 years).

Please provide an estimate of tne change (if any) in the stage-discharge relationship for the river at Pt. Pleasant if the stop logs should completely fail.

If this change is significant.please discuss the likelihood of prompt repair of this gate structure and state the names of the responsible authorities tha.t would be involved.

B.

The Lumberville Wing Dam also appears to show some signs of deterioration.

Please discuss the ability of the Dumberville Wing Dam to survive flood l flows which can reasonabl'y be expected to occur during the life of the plant. -Al'so discuss the likelihood of prompt repairs should the dam ser.fously deteriorate and state the names of the responsible authorities that would be involved.

C.

Please provide all significant assumptions, calculations and pertinent data used to arrive at the above requested estimates and conclusions.
