Columbia, SC 29218 Gentlemen:

Dear Mr. Bradham:

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 Summer facility.

This program includes split sample collection, analysis, and an annual report to the NRC listing State and licensee environmental results.

During the past year, the State has had coordination difficulties with Summer concerning receipt of Summer environmental data. This letter is written to clarify responsiblities and improve coordination of the environmental 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 Summer Environmental Technical Specifications and does not require additional sampling sites or increased sampling frequency by Sunmer 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 radioiodine data from Summer's control air sampling station. Air particulate data only has been reported from an air sampling station co-located with the State's station.

The NRC requests that Summer report to the State particulate and radioiodine data from a Summer control air station.

This control station does not have to be co-located with the State's.

I The State's environmental report for the calendar year is due 120 days from the end of the calendar year.

The State of South Carolina has had difficulties meeting this deadline, with one reason being that licensee environmental data was not provided in a timely manner. State personnel have requested complete sample analysis data be provided semiannually.

The NRC encourages participation in the environmental monitoring program.

The program provides independent verification of licensee results, promotes i

State / licensee cooperation, and improves public information.

The NRC requests that you provide environmental sample splits and 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.
