SUBJECT:

PROCEDURE FOR CANCELLING CP'S FOR HARTSVILLE B,1&2, AND PHIPPS BEND 1&2 NPP i

4 As you requested by note dated November 9,1982, we have reviewed your 4

memorandum related to procedures for cancelling the captioned TVA facilities and have the following suggestions.

J Based on our experience at Bailly and Black Fox, we believe NRC's responsibility 7 under NEPA can be met by assuring that an applicant proposing cancellation of a CP take the steps necessary to avoid future offsite environmental impacts

! resulting from construction activities and that any detrimental visual' impact be reduced to a minimum. The procedure should be written in such a way that lI an applicant execute the required measures in a timely manner for NRC's

': final inspection and disposition. . -r -

11 During the recent Black Fox exercise, we provided criteria from which the

! applicant devised a site disposition plan. The applicant's plan for with-O drawal of CP was evaluated by personnel from EEB's terrestrial ecology section l- for adequacy. A site visit ensured that all potential environmental impacts were addressed and that proposed mitigative actions could be executed in a J timely manner. .

l- With regard to Hartsville and Phipps Bend, a disposition plan should be i prepared for each site. The plans should identify all disturbed areas and

• provide specific corrective measures that will be taken. For example, all disturbed areas should be stabilized to prevent soil erosion; solid waste and any toxic materials should be disposed of according to EPA regulations and local ordinances; and temporary structures should be dismantled unless they will be part of the future use of the site. Details of the plan should

. include, but not necessarily be limited to the following:

(1) Provide the actuil hectares or acres for each land use/ land cover type. Disturbed areas should be described in terms of land use/ land cover type and the hectares or acres pialledB9 Xk ag- _

displaced, e.g., um nu:r.bc: of scrcs of fannland used for  !

, temporcry facilitiu;; the number of acres of pasture used to construct a cooling pond or toucrs; the number of acres of woodland cut to build a railroad spur, etc. Specify the i stage of construction by plant component if appropriate, e.g.,

percentage completion of power block, transmission system, switcityard and rights-of-way cleared, water supply system installed and operational, etc. Identify those modifications which, by their nature, preclude other land uses, e.g., a -

rip-rapped barge slip, a large cooling pond, the creation of a reservoir by damning a river, etc.

(2) Describe how the site will be redressed to control offsite environmental impacts. This should be done for each disturbed portion of the site, e.g., the disposition of

, piled topsoil, restoration of laydown areas, and reseeding to control soil erosion. If plans include future utiliza-

_. tion ~of disturbed areas for other purposes, they should be des'cribed.

(3) Describe plans for future use of the site. Spe~cify those site modifications which are compatible with the planned use, e.g., the excavation for the containment building may be used in the construction of a fossil fuel electric generating plant, and those which are not, e.g., the engineered drainage system may have to be modified to accommodate a planned industrial complex, etc. Also, state what will. be done with those modifications not compatible with future use, e.g., the cement plant will be diynantled, the area will be graded and seeded.

We reconnend that this procedure be adopted for all subsequent CP withdrawal actions.
