Charlotte, NC 28242 Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM COORDINATION WITH THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA The State of South Carolina, as part of an NRC contract, performs environmental monitoring around the Catawba facility.
This program includes split sample collection, analysis, and an annual report to the NRC listing State and licensee j
environmental results.
During the past several years, the State has had coordination difficulties with Catawba concerning collection of split environ-mental samples, and receipt of Catawba environmental data.
This letter is I
written to clarify responsibilities and improve coordination of the environmental l
monitoring activities between the State of South Carolina and the licensee.
The State's environmental monitoring program required by the NRC contract is based upon the Catawba environmental technical specifications and does not require additional sampling sites or increased sampling frequency by Catawba personnel.
The NRC contract sampling program is listed in the Enclosure and defines sample type, location, collection frequency, and required analyses. In the past, the State has not received certain sample splits and data required by i
the contract.
The State's environmental report for the calendar year is due 120 days from the end of the calendar year.
The State of Soutn Carolina has had difficulties meeting this deadline, with one reason being that licensee environmental data was i
not provided in a timely manner. State personnel have requested complete sample analysis data be provided semiannually.
The NRC encourages participation on the environmental monitoring program.
The program provides independent verification of licensee results, promotes State /
licensee cooperation, and improves public information. The NRC requests that Catawba provide environmental sample splits and complete analysis data on a timely basis to the State of South Carolina. The State contact for program coordination is Mr. N. Bivens, Director, Division of Radiological Environmental Monitoring.
