The response to Appendix A of Reference (1) is contained in this letter.

Violation A. Technical Specification 6.8 requires, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained that meet the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A.

'. ..N .

Contrary to the above, since January 1, 1986, chemical and radiochemical procedures did not prescribe all the sampling and analysis f requencies for continuous liquid releases to the environs.

Corrective Action Several surveillance procedures (SUR 5.4-18, SUR 5.4-22 and SUR

~

5.4-27) are being revised to include correct sampling f requencies and to clarify required analyses. These revised procedures will be in place by August 30,_1986. Chemistry department tracking programs have insured frequency and analytical compliance since May 22, 1986.

Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence A review of RETS implementing procedure has been completed, and all RETS requirements are specified in surveillance procedures.

A Nuclear Review Board Ef fluents Audit will be conducted semi-annually to verify continued compliance.

Violation B. Technical Specif'ication Section 8.1.1.1.1 requires that radioactive liquid waste shall be sampled and analyzed in accordance with Section I of the REM 0DCM.Section I of the REMODCM, Table C-1 requires daily grab sampling and weekly analysis of composite samples for continuous releases f rom steam generator blowdown and service water effluent.

Contrary to the above, daily grab samples were not collected and weekly analyses were not performed for continuous releases f rom steam generator blowdown f rom January 1 through 3,1986, and f rom service water effluent f rom January 1 through May 22, 1986.

Corrective Action Daily grab sampling and weekly analysis of service water and steam generator blowdown has been performed since May 22, 1986.

. .4 Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence The applicable procedure and tracking program have been revised to specify correct sampling and analytical f requencies, and will insure compliance. In addition, Nuclear Review Board Ef fluent Audits will be conducted semi-annually to verify continued compliance.
