These changes i are for various reasons, such an implementation of approved Facility Changes, '
changes in monitoring requirements, personnel reassignments, etc. None of the changes to the Plan were determined to require prior NRC approval. Tne changes have been reviewed and approved by the Operations Review Committee.
The individual pcges requiring revision are incluaed with this letter.
The changes are indicated on each page by a bold bar in the right-hand margin. Ileasons for the changes are as follows:
(1) Page 3-2. The requirement to raintain hourly meteorological data logging for effluent release calculations no longer exists following the approval of a recent license amendment (Amendment 67). This allows the removal of one of the two data collection monitors.

} .
Milwaukee Railroad single track live from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to St.
Louis, Missouri, ia on the opposite side of the Mississippi River from the plant and was abandoned from 1980 to 1981. The line has since been restored to service but is not frequently used. State Trunk Highway 56 originates in the village of Genoa and runs East towards Viroqua, the county seat. The origin point for Highway 56 is approximately 1-1/2 miles north of the reactor plant.
On the Iowa and Minnesota side of the river State Trunk Highway 26 runs within 4 miles of the original exclusion area. All the mentioned highway facilitics are two-lane paved roadways with unlimited access.
The car count on the road (Highway 35) passing through the nuclear facility original exclusion area is 2,950 cars per 24 bours, as determined by the m Vernon County Wisconsin Highway Department in 1984.
There does exist north of the plant, approximately .9 mile, a :).S. Army Corps of Engineers Lock and Dam on the Mississippi River. This lock is not classified as an industrial facility, although it employs approximately 11 Individuals.
3,3 METEOROLOGY 3.3.1 Meteorologieni MeasqLement Program The LACBWR meteorological measurement program consists of onsite equipment located within the Mississippi River valley, Meteorological parameters monitored are wind speed, wind direction, stability (sigma theta), and temperature. Data is also availabic from the National Weather Service (NWS) l station at the La Crosse Municipal Airport, approximately 35 km (21.7 mi.)
north of LACBWR.
3.3.2 General _ Climatolocv The plant site area exhibits a typical continental type of climate.
Temperature extremes in the La Crosse /LACBWR region are more r xked'occause of the river-valley location. Average temperatures vary from -7.1 C (
inthethreamonthsofwinterto21.9C(71.4F)inthesummermonths.}9.2F) A maximum temperature of 42.2 C (108.0 ) was recorded in July 1936, with a minimum low of -41.7 C (-43.0 F) recorded in January 1873, both in La Crosse.
Monthly precipitatien in the area averages between 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) and 10.7 cm (4.2 in.) from March through October and 2.5 cm (1 in.) and 5.1 cm (2 in.) for the t est of the year. Average annual precipitation is-79.2 cm (31.2 in.). Monthly snow and sleet averages between 12.7 cm (5 in.) and 35.6 cm (14 in.) from November through March, the largest amount normally occurring during March. The normal annual amount of snow and sleet is 110. 5 cm (4 3. 5 in. ) .

W 5.2.16 -Well Water System
- Water for this system is supplied from two' deep wells.- Well No. 4 is located 115 feet southeast of the containment vessel center, and Well No; 3 is; located 205 feet northeast of this centerlir.e. The wells are 12~~ inches in diameter, with 8 inch pump casings and piping. The uppor 40 feet. of casing '
is set in concrete, The pumps are sealed submersible pumps. They take suction through stainless steel strainers, and they discharge into pressure tanks.
The system supplies water to the plant and office for sanitary.and drinking o purposes and to the generator, radwaste and containment washdown' stations.
Water supplied by the system is used at personnel and material decontamina-
- tion stations, at five (5) emergency showers, and'at three eyewash stations.
It is used as cooling water for the two Turbine Building air conditioning i
units and in the boiler blowdown flash tank and sample cooler. The well l water system is the source of supply to the LPSW pumps seal water system, -[
'. priming water for the-lube oil purifier and laundry quipment.
System Status
. This system is maintained in continuous operation.

' 5.2.251 FulldFlow Condensate Demineralizer System The Full' Flow Condensate Demineralizer! S ystem consists-of'three service' tanks, each vith one half system capacity and arranged;in' parallel. .Its-purpose was to remove ionic-impurities from the condensate system water before. admitting it to'thefreactor. -Each service tank is capable of .
delivering 700 gpm. With one of the three- tanks on standby, / the system is capable of delivering 1400. gpm to satisfy. primary system requirements. The::
- standby service tank was available for service wheneve'r the effluent conductivity of the inservice tanks rose to an unacceptab}e level. Each of' the three demineralizer tanks normally contained 45-50-ft of - pre regenerated --
mixed resins with a cation / anion' ratio of 2 to 1. The-three-service' tanks-
- are designed for 400 psig operation,. and normal . flow;is suppited by the z
= condensate pumps. A circulating pump is providod to circulate water through the standby demineralizer tank prior to placing it:into. service.
System Status The regeneration portion of this system has been removed and pre regenerated resins are used in this system.
The system is presently maintained operational lwith resins in at-least one service tank for flushing. Eventually, the system will be placed in-layup.

16.1' OBJECTIVES.
- The primaryj objective- of the Decommissioning Program at LACBWR will 'oe to safely monitor -the_ facility And prevent.any unplanned releasef of L l radioactivity to=the environment. Some of the goals'during-the_SAFSTOR-period are as followc:
. To safely store activated fuel until it can oe, removed from-the site,_ d
. To establish a monitoring and surveillance program for comparison toi ,
baseline conditions.
. To maintain systems--Tequired during the SAFSTOR period.
. To lay up non-operating systems.
. To salvage equipment thatfis no longer being used.
. To handle radioactive vaste generated during the SAFSTOR period in accordance with plant procedures and applicable requirements,
. .To reduce general-_ area radiation levels in the vicinity _ of equipment . . -a operated'or_ maintained _during-the SAFSTOR period-t'ilimit. personnel dose. .
to as low as-reasonably achievable.
. 'To start decontaminating and dismantling unused system: while minimizing the generation of-rcdioactive' waste and personnel dose from this activity. -
- L
, Maintain qualified and trained staff to fulfill these goals.
6.2 -Q11pANIZATION AND RESPONSIBII.ITIES The organization of the'SAFSTOR staff at LACBWR is as indicated,in_ Figure
'6-1. The staff may_ change as activities being. performed vary and. staffing _.
needs change. The organization _is directed by a, Plant _ Manager, who. reports:-
directly to the Dairyland Power Cooperative Assistant Cencral Manager for.
