We have completed an initial review of the environmental information submitted in connection with your license renewal action. Additional information is required to allow us to complete the environmental impact assessment. The required infomation is identified in the attachment. These questions and infomation required had been discussed with members of your staff during our site visit at your facility on April 14, 1982.
Our review schedule requires the receipt of your response by the end of June 1982.
If you cannot meet this target date for your response, please let me know as soon as possible.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT l.
Please provide an update with references concerning James River flood occurrences since 1972.
2.
Has the groundwater withdrawal rate for the total site activities changed significantly since the 1974 Environmental Report (ER)?
If the groundwater supply is analyzed, provide historic (baseline) and current water quality and impurity concentration data.
3.
Please provide opdated information on the water quality of the James River upstream of the site and downstream of the plant discharge confluence with the river.
How often, what are the present sources, and at what rate are effluents released from the site? Please provide updated information on the composition of the effluent discharged under the NPDES permit.
4.
What are the results of the environmental monitoring program for chemicals in the liquid effluent? For benthos upstream and downstream of the site (ER, Sect. 6.2.3.2)?
5.
If possible, provide results of the baseline aquatic study conducted downstream of the site by Sweet Briar College and of the fish samples collected downstream of the site (ER, Sect. 6.2.3.2).
6.
What is the reference for Table D-7 (Benthic Invertebrates - Middle James River, Virginia) in the ER?
7.
Please summarize by Table and Figure your current environmental monitoring program.
Provide monitoring data for each sampling medium for the past 5 years and interpret the results.
8.
Please update the figure showing vegetation types on and in the vicinity of the site (Figure 2.7-1 of the ER, December 1974).
9.
A relatively small portion df the total site (525 acres) is used for the nuclear fuel facilities.
Please indicate the general condition of and the uses made of the remainder cf the site.
- 10. If there are any wetlands on the site (marshes, swamps, ponds), give a brief description of each, including size and dominant vegetation.
- 11. Please provide more recent information for Table 2.2-3, Agricultural activities in Campbell and Amherst Counties.
- 12. Please provide tables of the annual release rates of major non-radiological effluents (if any), e.g., particulates, 50, C0 2
hyd rocarbons, N0x, resulting from operation of the facility).
(including effluents of heating, cooling and other processes How many days / year and hours / day does the plant operate?
,- 13. What precautions are taken to prevent uncontrolled releases (e.g., spills and leaks) of stored liquid solvents and chemicals?
- 14. Page 4-3-1 of the ER (December 1974) states that 2.5 acres are surrounded by a security fence, while Figure 6.2-1 indicates that about 12 acres are fenced.
Please clarify.
- 15. For the criticality accident, please provide the following information:
(a) Air change rate (vol/hr) in the room where the accident occurs.
(b) Building shielding parameters for prompt gamma and neutrons if they are significant.
(c) If it is assumed that the building ventilation continues to operate during the excursion, what is the height, diameter and air flow of the stack? Is the stack filtered by a HEPA filter?
