Forked River Generating Station, Unit 1 Construction Permit No. CPPR-96 Docket No. 50-363 Termination of Construction Fernit GPU Nuclear Corporation hereby surrenders Construction Permit No. CPPR-96 issued for the Forked River Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1. This Construction Permit was issued on July 10, 1973. GPU letter dated July 30, 1979 previously advised the NRC that any further action on our request for an extension to the completion dates for the Station be deferred until future notification. Construction activities at this site were discontinued in 1979. However, environmental conditions of the construction permit have been maintained, flo other USNRC licenses, permits or applications for such are active or pending for the Forked River project.
The attachment summarizes the Forked River site restoration activities. All pertinent state, county and local approvals for the restoration of the Forked River site have been obtained. Permanent site restoration and stabilization activities are in process and are being completed in accordance with the approved Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.
Forked River site restoration work is scheduled to be completed during the Summer of 1988. Commitments contained in the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for the site and the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and Water Din m Permits will govern future activities.

Attachment Forked River Site Restoration Summary Initial construction activities on the site included clearing native vegetation from several hundred acres as well as extensive site grading and excavation in preparation for building the plant structures. The site excavation measured approximately-870 feet.across in a north-south direction and approximately 915 feet across in an east-west centerline, and had an average depth of over 30 feet. Prior to suspension of construction activities
.in 1979, concrete structures for the turbine building pedestals, turbine building wall, and other building foundations had been constructed.
Prior to backfilling the excavation with soil from adjacent areas of the site, soil samples were analyzed from approximately 40 test pits to determine . oil types, quality, suitability as backfill material, and feasibility of achieving the required 95% compaction of the excavation backfill. Groundwater samples from within the' excavation as well as outside the slurry wall were analyzed.
Chemical analyses were performed on sediments from each on-site detention basin, as well as on soil from borrowed areas and soil to be used as revegetation seed bedding to ensure soils were free of chemical contamination.
The backfilling of the excavation consisted of placing approximately 3,000 cubic yards of compacted soil into the reactor building cavity and pumping water into the voids of various other structures and then capping the openings with reinforced concrete. The turbine pedestals and turbine building wall were demolished.to a level of approximately 10 feet below grade.
Approximately 250,000 cubic yards of soil from the existing soil stockpile (originally. removed from the excavation during construction activities) were placed back into the excavation and compacted in several lifts. An additional 250,000 cubic yards of soil were obtained from adjacent areas in the process of achieving final site grade. As final grading of the site was completed, areas were prepared for seeding and an appropriate seed mix and mulch was applied. A total of approximately 100 acres have been revegetated to achieve permanent soil stabilization.
Five of seven construction-stage sedinent detention basins have been closed.
The site has been graded to convey stormwater runoff to nearby streams without causing significant erosion or transport of sediment to the receiving streams. The two remaining basins serve a drainage area on which activities 6ssociated with the Oyster Creek Nuclear Station take place. The attached site plan shows the completed site restoration.
Ocean County Soil Conservation District (SCD) approval was obtained prior to initiating movement of soils. New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection approval was obtained for elimination of the sediment detention capability of certain site basins. The New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elinination System Permits are being amended by the state environmental regulatory agency to reflect this eliaiaation. The Water Diversion Pernit renewal application has been filed and incorporates wells at both sites.
Lacey Township issued building permits have been or will be surrendered upon final completion of the SCD work.

e 2-Presently there are no planned future uses of the Forked River site that have any bearing on the restoration work. A combustion turbine (CT) electric generating facility is planned for the Forked River site. The planned CT facility will occupy an approximately 8-acre, previously cleared and graded site which is part of the Forked River site. The planned CT facility has no influence on the overall site restoration work.
