SUBJECT:

REDRESSING OF THE BAILLY SITE TIN On August 26,1931, tilPS00 indicated that it would no longer seek an extension of the Bailly CP, thereby effectively cancelling the facility.

In a letter to H. Denton dated October 8,1981, NIPSCO submitted its proposal to redress the Bailly site. Following consultations' with the NRC staff and the chief intervenors.(Porter County Chapter Intervenors), NIPSCO modified its proposal to accommodate some, but not all, of PCCI's concerns. This modified redressing' proposal was submitted as an attachnentto a letter dated November 19,1981 (Enclosure 1). While it is not certain whether PCCI will oppose any portion of the latest proposal on this matter, it is most probable that they will not.

The staff suggested to the Licensing Board on September 15, 1981, that the NRC staff should determine the acceptability of NIPSCO's' redressing proposal.

In the staff's latest response to the ASLB dated November 18,1981 (Enclosure 2),

we now suggest that the Board should issue an order terminating the proceedings (i.e., the CP extension request made by NIPS 00), conditioning this order with the provisions proposed in NIPSCO's November 19 letter.

In our November 18 response to the ASLB, we also suggest that I&E enforce the terms and conditions of the forthcoming ASLB order pursuant to Section 2.107(a) of 10 CFR Part 2.

I request that you review the latest NIPSCO redressing proposal. Please provide some minimun documentation of your evaluation even if you find that no comment would ordinarily be required so that we may establish an internal reco d of our r

review for future reference. This documentation will also assist NRR in responding to possible Region III inquiries as the region conducts its inspection of NIPSCO's restoration activities. Under one of NIPSCO's options for filling the excavation (i.e., sand dredged from Lake Michigan), the restoration activities may be delayed until the sumer of 1982.

Dear Mr. Denton:

On October 8, 1981, I forwarded to you a document entitled " Report on the Resolution of All Construction Activities Undertaken at the iailly Site for the Construction of 2ailly Generating Station, Nuclear-1 for Northern Indiana Public Service Company."

That report identified the on-site construction work which had been done and the restoration work which is planned.

The report was also served on all parties to the above-referenced proceeding.

Subsequent to the submittal of the report, the ';RC Staff (Staff) and the Porter County Chapter Intervenors (PCCI) made cor.ments on and suggested changes in the portion of the report covering backfilling of the excavation.

The revised report attached to this letter incorporates those suggested changes and, in NIPSCO's opinion, satisfics all connents of the Staff and PCCI.

The revised report is being served on the Licensing Board and other parties to the construction permit extension proceeding.

Yours very truly, NORTHERN INDIANA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY By:

INTRCDUCTION The site on which : orthern Indiana Public Service Ccapany's (NIPSCO) P.ailly Generating Station, Nuclear-1 (3a i 11y ' -1) was to he constructed was purchased in 1932 for the specific purpose of constructing electrical generating facilities.

The site

. " ;cn t ly co ; ;isi:s o f qq ccxis tely 350 -cas cad is ge'= rally "L"

shaped.

Site development began in 1959 and Unit #7 (coal-fired, }94

" e) cas placed in cc' wrrial operation in 1962.

A second coal -fired unit, Unit 28 ( 4 2 2 M.- e ), oad a conhustion turbine (Unit #10, 33 MWe) became operatio,al at the site in 1968.

There is a large coal st ora.ge pila cn the,astera side i

of the site.

Ash ponds associated with the operation of coal-fired Units #7 and #8 are located along the east-west. leg of the site.

Sepport buildings and transmission lines for the fossil units are located throughout the site and the Dune Acres Substation is located at the extreme southeast corner of the site.

The excavation for Bailly N-1 is located between the existing fossil units on the cast and the coal storage pile on the west, Lake Michigan on the north and Bethlehem Steel Co. on the south.

That portion of the site was cleared and graded to elevation approximately +40' when the site was originally developed in 1959.

The following report identifies the site related construction

__-activities carried out by NIPSCO associated with the construc-tion of Bailly N-1 and NIPSCO's plan for the disposition of' each such item.

(3)

Sand of the type generally found in the area surrounding the Bailly Site, including sand dredged from Lake Michigan.

(4)

Other clean inorganic fill material of a character such as to not produce appreciable differences in hydrologic conductivity or groundwater cuality from the material originally removed from the excavation.

The werk associated with backfilling the excavation will ccm:nence promptly apon zuceipt of necessary approvals of this proposal, and weather permitting, will take approximately 120 days to complete.

However, if the dredging option is elected, actual dredging operations will not begin until the summer of 1982.

I. INTRODUCTION

/

/

On October 1, 1981, Porter County Chapter Intervenors ("PCCI") i a Motion Concerning Excavation, seeking an order from this Scard -

requiring ?!orthern Indiana Public Service Company ("NIPSC0") to submit its plans concerning the excavation at the Bailly site to the Board for its approval.

In its l'.otion, PCCI proposed that all parties should have an opportunity to comment on any plan submitted by NIPSCO, after which the Board should order NIPSCO to fill the excavation in accordance with the plan as submitted or as rodified pursuant to the parties' suggestions.

PCCI would have the Board withhold ruling on NIPSCO's "fiotion to Tenninate Proceeding" (August 26,1981) until the filling of r

the excavation has been accomplished. At that time, PCCI would have the Board terminate the proceedings with prejudice.

On October 12, 1981, NIPSCO filed a Respense to PCCI's Potion.

NIPSCO took the position.that the Motion was mooted by NIPSCO's service

/. CZ u.J1 ;22 ;

e..: 5-.. -.. Qq Osc,soi; o

cn October 8,1981, on the P.ocrd and the parties to this proceeding of copies of a "Refort on the Pesolution of All Construction /ctivities Undertaken at the Bailly Site for the Construction of Bailly Generating Station "uclear 1" NIPSCO, anticipating that the parties guld reach ign i nt en the ' :bs ta.ce of *he rte ^e ra tir.n pl ;ns, ' i nc ! N t in its view there was no need to argue the procedural point concerning whether a detenaination of the acceptability of site restoration plans thould be ade by the Ecard, as O., m sit J ' y KCI, or by the M uf f, as < ugges t ed in Staff's Response of September 15, 1981 to HIPSCO's Motion to Terninate the Proceeding.

For the reastns discussed Lelew, Staff ruggests that the Board should find that PCCI's Motion is moot insofar as it seeks to have the Board require NIPSCO to subnit its plan.

Further, the Soard should deny that portion of the Motion which seeks to ret;uire the Ecard to deteraine that the redress plan has been satisfactorily completed prior to termination of the proceedings. Board action on that part of the !!otion which seeks a Eoard order requiring NIPSCO-to fill the excavation should l

l await a supplementary submittal by the parties.

II. DISCUSSI';fi Insofar as PCCI seeks an Order directing NIPSCO to submit its plans.

l concerning the excavation, Staff agrees with NIPSCO that NIPSCO's submittal of October 8,1981 moots PCCI's request. With respect to PCCI's request that prejudice attach to the termination of these proceedings, Staff would note that the question of termination with prejudice has been recently addressed by the Atomic Safety and Licensing e

Appeal Board.in Philadelphia Electric Company (fulton Generating Station, Uni ts I and 2) ALA3-f357,13 NRC _, ("ove ' er 17,1931), in,vhich the Appeal Board set forth standards to be follcaed in deterainingg whether prejudice sLcuid attach to withc'emial of an application.

Slip op, a t 18.

ased on Sta ff's rtview of the record in t'is proutding, t.e do not believe that these standards have been r.et and therefore it is cur 1alief that Paard action on NIPSCO's request should be without prejudice.

In Staf f's opinion, the only atter properly. raised in PCCI's Motion which has not been mooted or modified by subsequent events is its suggestion that, prior to termination of the proceedings, the Board should determine "...upon notification by "IPSCO and further opportunity for caanent by parties, that the matter of the excavation has been satisfactorily resolved...." (Motion at 2)

As the Staff noted in its Response to the Motion to Terminate, under 10 C.F.R. Q2.107(a) the Licensing Board has the authority to condition the withdrawal of HIPSCO's extension application upon such tenas as it may p.'escribe.

The Staff also suggested that the Licensing Board should require NIPSCO to submit a site restoration plan for Staff approval.

Such a plan has been submitted and NIPSCO and the Staff have reached an agreement concerning revisions to that plan which will be submitted to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation by NIPSCO very shortly. Copies of the revised plan will be served on the Bcard and

e parties. The provisions of the plan should toccme conditions of the order which the hro inues purr.oant to 52.107(a).

Staff sees no r cason for these preu:cdings to continue af ter the issuance of such an crier.

The ::fi's 'u g,titn is *nt i% :t po r

'ent.

In i<r.t, a procedure simil6r to that suggested by Staf f eas folicwed with regard to Toledo Edison's withdrawal of construction pennit applicaticns for Davis-Pe se % clear P.7,,:r Station, Nts 2 - nd 3 and t cqust that 'ha adjudicatory proceedings on those applications be terminated. The Chairnan of the Atcaic Safety and Licensinc appeal Panel detennined that

Le request thdt the prcceediiig t a ten:incied should te address -1 to the Licensing Board.

Toledo Edison Co. et al. (Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3), ALAS-622,12 NRC 667, 669. (1980). The Chairaan instructed the Licensing Board that, before taking action, it was to

" accord the staff a reasonable opportunity to propose any conditions which its inspection of the current state of the site might suggest be attiched to the temination order."

_Id., 12 NRC at 669.

Subsequently, the Licensing Board issued an order which, in pertinent part, granted Toledo Edison's request that its application for construction permits be withdrawn, prescribed conditions pursuant to 10 C.F.9. Q2.107(a) or. the withdrawal, and granted Applicant's motion to terminate the proceedings. Toledo Edison Company, et al. (Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3), Slip op., August 28, 1981.

No party appealed that order and in a !!enorandum of September 3, 1981, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Parml Chairman stated that appellate review sua sponte was not necessary because the conditions were

acceptable to all concerned, ere unexceptional in nature, and scened'cn their face appropriate to the eccc::plid ent of their pui;,ase.

Teltdo Edison Corn ay, et al. (Nvis-Eerse :aclear P-2r Station, Units ?

and 3) ALAB-652,13 NRC ___ (Septerher 3,1931).

W if sees a i.u son for this L M sing 20 rd ta depart frc:a the procedur es followed in Davis-Eesse.

The Staff has previcesly advised the Scard that the parties were discus.aq t!.e t: ' stance of ct -ditions to be imposed u; on N1;5CO's wi thd rawal.

Agree::.er.t has been reached between NIPSCO and Staff on changes propasci by PCCI to NIPSCO's site restoration plan.

It is Staff's understanding that even ti c"gh its propesals !. ave ha accepted.

PCCI intends not to join in a notion seeking a Board order imposing the provisions of the plan as conditions of withdrawal Lecause the parties have not reached agreecent concerning the need for the Ecard to retain jurisdiction over the implementation of the conditions attached to withdrawal.

In Staff's view, conditions attached to a licensing board order granting withdrawal of an application have the sane force and effect as conditions imposed on a construction permit or operating license.

The NRC's Office of Inspection and Enforcenent is available to enforce the terms and conditions of an order pursuant to $ 2.107(a) in i

the same way that it enforces the performance of license conditions.

Even though the Board's jurisdiction will have terminated with the k

issuance of an order pursuant to @ 2.107(a), the Ccr.ission's jurirdiction to enforce the conditions of the cr&r rr ains.3/

III. CD':CLUSICd ir. ic r: Hans din 'od

'm, r',e wd ' O d J aj ;'CCI's.'i&n insofar as it seeks to require Ecard approval of NIE5CO's execution of its site restora tion plea prior to the terninatica of these,"receedings.

I'.e Roa d s h-:Jld i'Ted th6l t!.e {J-'ti a of tN I'StiCa.hiCh ' Ms a Ecurd order requiring NIPSCO to submit a restoration plan is noot and should defer artico en the partion of the ration requesting the -? card to order E SCO to fill the er.cavatico until lIPSCO has su'a.iticd a.

ndatory 1/

This is clear from the full text of 9 2.107(a), which reads:

The Commission may permit an applicant to withdraw an application prior to the issuance of a notice of hearing cn such terns and conditions as it nay prescribe, or may on received a request for withdrawal of application, deny the application or dismiss it with prejudice.

Withdrawal of an application after the issuance of a notice of hearing shall be on such terms as the presiding officer may prescribe.

As the Appeal Board points out in ALAB-657, cited suora, Sectiva 2.107(a) is similar to Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which permits a court to dismiss an action at a plantiff's request "upon such terns and conditions as the court deens proper." Slip op. at 9.
