Gentlemen:
Westinghouse Electric Corporation hereby submits an amendment request regarding additional facilities and equipment to be installed on the i
Columbia Site to support expanded operations.
The facilities include plant, office, cafeteria and kitchen additions.
Attached are general descriptions of each project.
A check for $150.00 is included to cover the costs on adminstrative amendment.
Construction is scheduled to begin as early as December, 1985.
Consequently, your timely attention to this letter is appreciated.
If you have any questions, please write or telephone me at (803) 776-2610, Extension 247.

o ENCLOSURE TO TRANSMITTAL OF OCTOBER 17, 1985 SNM-1107, D0'KET 70-1151 PLANT AND OFFICE EXPANSION PURPOSE I
The purpose of the plant and office expansion projects is to provide additional facilities to support new product lines; to provide increased space for existing operations, storage and offices; to improve facilities j
for decontamination and reduction of low level radioactive wastes; and to f
install additional cafeteria and kitchen space.
SCOPE The plant expansion projects include (1) a Southwest contiguous addition I
(15,000 square feet) to house operations such as scrap recovery, stratification blending, SW storage and rod salvage; (2) a Southeast I
contiguous addition (46,000 square feet) to house operations such as bulk powder blending and storage, additional change rooms, development laboratory, tool room, chemical maintenance, Olem Lab expansion, and Health Physics offices and laboratory; (3) a Southeast detached addition (48,000 square feet) to house the Improved Fuel Processing Operations j
(see Subparagraph 1.9.10 of SW-1107); (4) a contiguous office (25,000 i
square feet) addition adjacent to the existing office building, and (5) a contiguous cafeteria and kitchen (3,000 square feet) adjacent to the existing cafeteria.
All facilities and operations which will be relocated to the plant expansions are currently licensed under SW-1107.
CONSTRUCTION i
Approximately 137,000 square feet will be committed to the plant and office expansion.
Standard construction techniques will be used during site preparation and excavation activities.
All construction will conform to the Southern Building Code.
To the extent possible, the plant and office expansion will complement existing architectural designs.

The environmental effects of construction will be limited to site preparation and excavatici of approximately 137,000 square feet.
Appropriate construction tic 6niques.will be used to minimize the effects 2
of construction such as water 'ru'n-of f and airborne dusting.
Following i
construction, the areas will be appropriately landscaped in accordance with the existing facilities.
Conse,quently, the effects of construction should be minimal.
-.. ~ - - ~
The effects of plant ' expansion operations on the environment should be minimal for the following~ reaso'n'si~(6 Most of the operations in the plant expansion will be relocated'fror6 t!6e existing plant, except for the mi o i
Improved Fuel Processing -- operations which 'are also an extension of existing plant pellet and rod loading operations, (2) Treatment of liquid j
and gaseous effluents will be similar in design to existing operations which have already been licensed and evaluated from an ALARA standpoint, f
(3) The relocations are being conducted to provide space for a second IDR I
process line; however, the total plant load will be. less than 1600 MTU per year. which was evaluated -in the Columbia Plant Update for Environmental Impact Appraisal, April 1983, which was submitted in support of the SNM-1107 license renewal application,- (4) Less than 5% of the site area will be occupied by manufacturing and support facilities as l
described in the Environmental Impact Appraisal.
