DECISION REGARDING ADDITIONAL S0IL BORINGS AND TESTING y j y %,,

SUBJECT:

{',,

,&fi

.'y.

We have reviewed.your recent submittal of September 14, 1980,'as part of our

,M;i evaluation of your. verbal request to James P. Knight, Assistant Director'for +W Components and Structures Engineering, Division of Engineering and myself t. M.-

'i, of August 29, 1980, for relief from. making additional borings and associated. ~. i,g.

tests of soils in eighteen (18), areas on the Midland Plant. site..We have 4 J.g also consulted with the U.S. Army Corps of. Engineers.in reaching our.

M.-

i decision. The results of.the review and our extensive discussion ort the merits.of your position support a relaxation of certain requirements for f-six (6) Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) in the vicinity of plant i11/'.(

structures. In addition, we have reconsidered our request for sampling and testing along portions;of the cooling pond embankments and have determined that certain borings should be relocated to areas of the' dike ~..

vh imediately adjacent to the submerged emergency cooling water reservoir. '

ih The requirements for the remaining SPT borings, with the potential for

.. ; e J.* y'.k up to eighteen (18) undisturbed sample borings", as described in our.

?#T 1etter of June 30, 1980, remain unchanged. We will provide the details N:51l of this relaxation, including the changed boring locations, in a separate y

communication in the near future, t

i In view of the foregoing information, we shall' expect the rece~ipt of

,y 2

.i information in response to our earlier requests, unless you wish to request'

,.C h.

relief from the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
