SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION FOR NOTIFICATION OF LICEK5HiG BOARD i
4 In accordance with present NRC procedures regarding Board Notifications!
the fe,11owing information is being provided as constituting new information relevant and material to the Midland OM/0L proceedings. This information i
deals with the licensee's September 28, 1983, decision to stop all "Q" soil drilling and pile driving imposed as a result of unknowingly drilling into structural concrete. The pertinent facts that relate to the stop work are as follows:
I 1.
On September 20, 1983, the licensee began drilling piezometer BB-1 which is located in the control tower area near the main auxiliary building.
2.
On September 22, 1983, concrete was encountered at El. 594.3. Drilling was temporarily stopped until approval was obtained to resume based on existing borings which indicated a six inch concrete working slab at that elevation.
3.
On September 23, 1983, concrete was encountered at El. 583.5. Drilling was temporartly stopped until approval was obtained to resume based on existing borings which ind4cated ten feet of lean backfill concrete at /
that elevation.
4.
On September 26, 1983 steel was encountered at El. 581.3. Drilling was temporarily stopped until approval was obtained to resuse based on the
+
assumption that the steel in question was scrap.
ii'I 5.
On September 27, 1983 the steel was cored through, retrieved and found to be one #6 reinforcing bar and one #11 reinforcing bar. Cognizant
[.
individuals thought that there was a good possibility that this rebar l:
had been used to reinforce the concrete backfill because of a crans wat H
used during earlier construction at that approvinate location.
6.
On September 27, 1983, more steel was encountered at El. 580.1. Drilling was stopped and this time a more thorough review of drawings was made.
~
It became obvious that they had not drilled into fill concrete with added rebar, but into a' structural strongback attached to the south side of the auxiliary building B-Line wall.

On September 28, 1983, the licensee issued Stop U.prk Order No. FSW-32 which stopped all "Q" soil drilling and pile driving.
e-8.
On September 29, 1983 the NRC was informed of 1;his stop work. At this time all work remains stopped pending adequate corrective action to
' preclude drilling into structural concrete. This action includes revising the procedure to include a review of structural drawings and not just buried utility drawings. Also retraining to the new procedure will be i
accomplished. All completed excavation permits will be reviewed to determine whether structural concrete has been hit in the past and dis-counted as lean concrete.
If you have any questions or desire further information regarding this-matter, please call me.

50-329/330 OM, OL Mr.-- J. W. Cook Vice President Consumers Power Company 1945 West Parnall Road Jackson, Michigan 49201
Dear Mr. Cook:
SUBJECT:
Followup Meeting on Construction Completion Dates My letter of August 9,1983, noted that since the April 19-21, 1983, NRC staff visit to assess construction completion schedules for Midland, Consumers Power Company had requested a followup meeting to review the material previously provided, to provide additional information, and to discuss reconsideration of scheduling priorities between Units 1 and 2 in light of recent actions by Dow Chemica's Company. The letter also noted that at Consumers' request, the
. staff would be scheduling this meeting in September 1983.
On September 2,1983, Messrs. B. Hershe, N. Leech and others from your Company advised us that the week of October 24, 1983, would be the earliest time that Consumers would be prepared to discuss scheduling priorities between Units 1 and 2, and that some months beyond this may be needed to establish a scheduling projection basis.
The staff views this as a significant delay in our efforts to consider your views regarding the schedule for plant completion at Midland. Unless your dates for establishing a firm schedule for plant completion are substantially improved, the staff will consider the estimate it developed based upon the April 19-21,1983 visit to be appropriate for its planning purposes. Please
' advise me of your intent in this regard within two weeks of receipt of this letter.
Sincerely, Thomas M. Novak, Assistant Director for Licensing Division of Licensing sc: See next page
