The questions were prepared by J. Creeves. It should be noted that these questions are based on our review of Amendment 19. dated June 1975. SER input for foundaticit (engineering did not include infor-astion c.outained in A:aendesnt 19. Until we resolve our concerns r,garding slope stability identified in Amendment 19, we cannot complete
$2R input. We vill provide an SER eupplement at a later date.

r FOUNDATION ENGINEERING QUESTIONS WPPSS NUCLEAR PROJECTS NO. 3 & 5 DOCKET NOS. 50-508, 509 Prepared by:
J. Greeves 323.16.
-(2,5.5)>
Provide cross sections similar to figures 2.5.L.7 thru 2.5.L.10 for.the stability analysis profiles 4 (figure 2.5.79) thru 7 (figure 2.5.82). ' Discuss the lithology, structure, topography, weathering and groundwater conditions for each'of these profiles.
' Explain the basis for your conclusion that the four conditions enumerated in Section 2.5.L.5.1 do not occur in concert for each of these profiles.
323.17 (2.5.5)
As noted in Amendment No. 19, slumping of highly weathered Astoria (termed residual soil) is a mechanism of slope failure t*
of the Astoria Formation at the site. Landslides 2, 5, 7 and 8 occurred in such material. Field evidence indicates these slides occurred on relatively flat slopes. Such evidence leads the staff to conclude. that the shear strength of these residual soils can be less than those properties used in the stability
' analysis (Amendrent No. 4) for proflies 4 thru 7.
Provide an evaluation of the shear strength properties of residual-soil in landslides 2, 5, 7 and 8.
Evaluate the scability of profiles 4 thru 7 using residual soil shear strength properties determined by the shear strength evaluation of the above landslides.
