In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 4.8.D.l. requires that the environmental monitoring program be conducted in accordance with Table 4.8-4.
Table 4.8-4 requires that one downstream sediment sample and one fish sample be collected annually and semiannually, respectively, and indicates that sample locations are described in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).
The ODCM in Table 11-1 (revision February 1991) describes a sediment sample at Q-23 Lock and Dam No. 14 and a fish sample at Q-24 Davenport Fish Market (Pool fio.14 of Mississippi R.).
Contrary to the above, the environmental monitoring program was not conducted in accordance with Table 4.8-4.
Specifically:
1.
between about 1980 through April 1992, a downstream sediment sample was not collected at location Q-23 Lock and Dam No. 14 and 2.
between early 1975 through 1992, fish samples were not collected at Q-24 Davenport Fish Market.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
B.
Technical Specification 3.8.D.2. requires the licensee to provide a description of the reasons for not conducting the environmental monitoring program as required by Technical Specification Table 4.8-4 and to state the plans for preventing recurrence in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
