Dear Mr. Cook:

Viloore ACappucci WKreger bec: NSIC/ TIC / TERA SUPJECT: DECISION kiCARDING ADDITIONAL SOIL BCRINGS AND TEST's ACRS (16)

We have reviewed your recent submittal of September 14, 1980, ~

t of our evaluation of your verbal request to James P. Knight, Assistant Director for Caponents and Structures Engineering, Division of Engineering and to Richard H. Vollmer, Director of the Division of Engineering of August 29, 1980, for relief from making additional borings and asscciated tests of soils in eighteen (13) areas on the Midland Plant site. We have also consulted with the U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers in reaching our decision. The results of the review and our extensive discussion on the merits of your position support a relaxation of certain requirements for six (6) Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) in the vicinity of plant 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 ,

inmediately adjacent to the submerged emergency cooling water reservoir. The requirements for the remaining SPT borings, with the potential for up to eighteen (18) undisturbed sample borings, as described in our letter of June 30, 1980, remain unchanged. We will provide the details of this relaxation, including the changed boring locations, in a separate connunication in the near future.

In view of the foregoing information, we shall expect the receipt of information in response to our earlier requests, unless you wish to request relief from the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Contact our project manager, Darl Hood, if you wish to discuss this further.
