Communications between our staffs has resulted in identifying specific items to be addressed.

Reference 2 informed the ASLB that the questions will be answered in an Environmental Report (Site Stabilization Plan) to form the basis of the Staff's environmental review and ultimately of its Environmental Assessment.

The enclosure to this letter, the Midland Site 0C0986-001OA-ILP02

References 3, 4 and 5 provided information relevant to the Staff's six questions.

We have just recently reached an agreement in principle with Dow Chemical Company to convert the Midland Energy Center to a combined-cycle, gas-fired cogeneration facility.

The responses in the Site Stabilization Report which address questions as to what happens if the conversion option does not come to pass should not be construed to mean that we expect any other outcome other than a successful completion as a combined-cycle, gas-fired cogeneration plant.From 9 to 12 September, 1986, Central Michigan experienced heavy rains, resulting in widespread flooding.

The Tittabawassee River crested on 13 September with the waters reaching approximately the 614 foot elevation at the Midland Site. Other than the Outage Building, the Site facilities experienced no significant damage. Some storm-related erosion corrective measures will be necessary.

Consumers requests that if your review of the report identifies any areas where clarification or additional information is necessary, the Staff should feel free to directly work with our staff to conclude the review. We ask that these matters be expedited to the extent possible to support our 1986 nuclear plant abandonment activities.

SCOPE This report addresses the actions taken by CPCo relative to the Midland Energy Center (MEC) following suspension of construction in July 1984.The activities associated with the plans to convert the NEC to a natural gas combined-cycle plant, the abandonment of nuclear facilities and the related Construction Permit/Operating License application termination are described.

Specifically addressed is the "Request for Additional Informa-tion for Environmental Review of Applicant's Request to Withdraw the Midland Plants, Units 1 and 2, Operating License Application" in H N Berkow's letter to J W Cook dated August 21, 1986.2. GENERAL SITE STABILIZATION On July 16,1984, the Board of Directors of CPCo ordered shutdown of design, construction and testing activities for the Midland Plant.Initial activities were to secure the remedial soils work, place the plant systems and equipment in a long-term layup mode, implement a preventive maintenance and storage program and demobilize the construction forces.The purpose of these activities was to maintain the plant in such a way as to preserve the option to restart the project.Initial site stabilization actions included draining the cooling pond, filling open excavations, improving site drainage, grading and seeding and placing riprap in vulnerable areas. No additional actions are presently necessary for the environmental protection of the site in the shut down condition.

Some activities of a maintenance nature continue and are described in following report sections.

Future actions associated with other industrial site use would fall under the purview of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). Donald L Inman, Chief, Environ-mental Enforcement Division, MDNR is responsible for assuring compliance with state environmental laws. His office telephone number is (517)373-3503 and his address is Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Box 30028, Lansing, Michigan 48909.3. SITE STATUS On April 8, 1986, the Company's Board of Directors authorized conversion of Unit 1 of the Midland Project to a natural gas-fired, combined-cycle generating plant. On June 18, 1986 the Board authorized abandonment of the nuclear steam supply systems and other buildings and components of the Midland Project which are not usable for the gas-fired, combined-cycle plant. An environmental report was submitted on July 11, 1986 to the Department of Energy Economic Regulatory Administration in support of an exemption from the Fuel Use Act of 1978 requested for the plant conver-sion. Site construction (eg, demolition of unnecessary buildings, exten-sion of fill area for gas turbines) would begin no earlier than 1987. On September 17, 1986 the Dow Chemical Company and Consumers Power Company announced that they had reached an agreement in principle to work together RP0886-0047A-NP02 2 to convert the plant into a natural gas combined-cycle cogeneration plant (see Form 8-K, Attachment 6).The gas conversion and nuclear abandonment is specifically addressed for the various site areas in later report sections.

As this effort moves forward, or should some other plan be developed for future use of the site, it will be necessary to secure appropriate approvals and authoriza-tions or modifications to existing approvals from federal, state and local agencies prior to implementation.

Precise identification of future site land uses, and resultant erosion and runoff control measures, and soil stabilization activities are not possible at this time.Overall, the currently existing facilities will remain in place. Figure 1 is an aerial view of the site taken in August 1983. As can be seen, construction utilized nearly all of the available area. Figure 2 is an April 1986 aerial view looking northeast toward the Power Block Area with the Dow industrial facilities in the background.

Salvage activities will continue through the end of 1986 and beyond. Many of the non-permanent buildings will continue to be used as warehousing for salvageable equipment.

These facilities are also usable in support of future construction.

Facilities not normally occupied are locked if there are hazards associated with unauthorized entry. A security force has remained in place to control site entry and to maintain routine site security inspections.

A. Power Block Area Description The power block area described in the Environmental Report as 10 acres, included the land north of the cooling pond at a nominal 634 foot elevation (ER-OLS Section 2.1.3.1).

This area contains the reactor buildings, turbine building, diesel generator building, auxiliary building and miscellaneous permanent and temporary ancil-lary, support and warehousing structures.

For the purpose of this report, however the term "Power Block Area" refers to all of the area"on the hill," and the property north of this area to the river, comprising a total of about 52 acres. Construction has utilized nearly all of this property.FSAR Figure 1.2-1; Station Arrangement (provided as Figure 3) shows the constructed facilities in the power block area. This area is zoned industrial and is adjacent to Dow Chemical's facilities, includ-ing a brine pond.Status Structures currently remaining which are in addition to those shown in Figure 1.2-1 are listed in Table 1. For construction of the Gas Conversion Option, the Project Field Office, Change House, Welders Test Shop, Site Access Control Building, and Support Services Building RP 0886-0047A-MP02 3 would all be removed and the gas turbines would be placed in the area these structures occupy. Consumers Power does not plan to dismantle any of other structures.

To do so would be costly and not to the advantage of the Company or its customers.

The structures do not represent a hazard or other adverse condition.

The following structures will be abandoned regardless of the final site disposition:

Unit 1 and 2 reactor buildings Auxiliary Building North of Column Row "G" Radwaste Building Calibration Building Cooling Tower The remaining structures shown on Figure 1.2-1 will be utilized in the gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant.At the time of Project shutdown, the underpinning work in progress was reviewed and a plan was developed to stabilize the structures.

This plan was implemented.

The activities required for stabilization were concurred with by Region III and verified by site inspections as documented in Inspection Reports (50-329/84-22

& 84-26 and 50-330/84-23 & 84-27). Monitoring of the area since that time has confirmed the adequacy of the building underpinning in its present configura-tion. The plans for plant conversion will require that the soils remedial program be completed in a manner which assures suitability of the structures for their use in the converted plant. Presently physical barriers are in place to prevent unauthorized access. In the unlikely event that the facility is not completed as a gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant, then suitable physical barriers and administrative controls will remain in place to prevent unauthorized entry into the underpinning areas.Following the termination of construction, trailers and some other temporary construction support buildings were removed. Environmental protection measures included grading and assurance of proper drainage.Salvage of equipment and construction facilities remains as an ongoing effort. The wells and freezewall vertical elements remain in place although the surface piping has been removed. Some construction utilities (power, natural gas, compressed air) and equipment (shoring, cribbing), parking piers, support slabs and foundation of removed structures remain in place. Debris has been and will continue to be disposed of in a licensed landfill.

Hazardous wastes were disposed of by utilizing licensed contractors.

The temporary Heater Boiler Structure is in use to provide winter heating for the plant buildings.

The remaining structures listed in Table 1 currently serve as warehousing for materials being salvaged.They represent a future resource as construction support facilities for the gas conversion option or other site power plant or industrial RP0886-0047A-M1P02 4 use. When and if they are removed, debris will be disposed of in a licensed landfill.Summary Site stabilization work in the power block area is complete.

The area is served by a storm drainage system, to which a program of routine maintenance applies. Riprap is in place in areas subject to erosion.Seeding or indigenous vegetation covers the embankments.

Grading and other specific measures are being employed, as necessary, to address specific conditions resulting from the ongoing salvage operations.

Facilities currently in place will remain except as specifically mentioned above.B. Access Road and Parking Areas Description Included in this 95-acre area is all the site property north of the cooling pond dike and west of the Power Block Area. Except for extreme westerly end, all the area between the pond dike and Bullock Creek has been utilized for parking and roads. Within this area are the Outage Building, Zack Storage Building, Warehouse No 2, the Support Services Building, Meteorological Tower and miscellaneous construction support temporary structures.

The construction and miscellaneous structures are listed in Table 1. A drainage system is in place for this area.Status The parking areas consist of a hard packed surface. Concrete parking piers and fencing remain in place. Some indigenous vegetation is taking hold in areas where there is no current traffic. These parking areas will be useful for future plant construction and operation.

The 100-meter meteorological (Met) tower is located on the edge of the site boundary directly west of the power block area. Met tower routine maintenance includes assurance of structural integrity and obstruction marking. The Met tower is not required for gas-fired, combined-cycle conversion since preconstruction air quality monitoring is not required.

If a coal conversion project is undertaken, pre-construction air quality monitoring is a requirement.

The Met tower represents a future resource for low band frequency (two-way radio)support of Company operations in the Central Region. Regardless of final plant disposition, there are no plans to remove the Met tower.The buildings remaining in the parking areas are to be kept for support of the gas-fired, combined-cycle plant construction and for ongoing salvage efforts. The exception is the Support Services Building as mentioned in A, above. At such time it is determined that it is in the Company's best interest to remove the temporary build-ings, the debris will be disposed of in a licensed area landfill.RP0886-0047A-MP02 5 The site access road is contained in a narrow corridor of land bounded by Dow Chemical property to the north and private lands to the south.A stockpile of fill material remains on the south side of the road.These materials will be used for the gas-fired, combined-cycle plant.There is also an adjacent stockpile, not owned by Consumers, on private property.

This stockpile area is surrounded and contained by heavy indigenous vegetation.

An intermittently flowing old Dow brine well is located on the south edge of the parking lot area. Some erosion was recently found where the water flows to a drainage ditch. This has been corrected.

Summary The access road and parking lot areas are environmentally stable and no further actions are required.

The structures within these areas will be kept for ongoing and future site purposes.C. Poseyville Laydown Area Description This approximately 68-acre area is located off but adjacent to the site. Tt extends from the west side of the cooling pond to Poseyville Road. An underground drainage system was installed during its con-struction.

The surface consists of a 4 to 12-inch thick limestone layer.Status The laydown area contains cribbing and temporary storage structures for construction materials and plant equipment.

Significant consoli-dation and/or material removal has taken place because of the ongoing salvage efforts. The area will continue to be used for storage and represents a resource for the future gas-fired, combined-cycle plant construction.

When, and as the temporary facilities are removed, resulting debris will be disposed of in a licensed land fill area.The Midland Training Center is located within the laydown area. The Center and the approximately 6-acre parcel on which it is situated do not belong to the Company. A major tenant in the building is Great Lakes Junior College. The Company currently occupies part of the building.The laydown area is environmentally stable.Summary No remaining stabilization activities are necessary in the laydown area. It is our current intent that the area be preserved as a future resource, irrespective of the disposition of the Midland Site proper.RP0886-0047A-MPO2 6 D. Cooling Pond Area Description The Cooling Pond Area (see ER Figure 2.1-1, provided as Figure 4)consists of the 880-acre cooling pond, the strips of land outside of the west and south pond dikes (about 90 acres), and the 148-acre Tittabawassee River floodplain east and northeast of the cooling pond.The narrow strips of land bordering the dike perimeter contain pond and dike ditches and the rerouted agricultural drains which formerly flowed through the cooling pond area. The floodplain area contains several transmission line towers and start-up line poles (see Section 4.E), the cooling pond dikes, the railroad bridge, the pond outlet structure (formerly, the superseded outlet structure, now NPDES Permit Outfall 003), and the emergency access road.The railroad bridge crossing the Tittabawassee River, the widening of the River, and the construction of the cooling pond and associated structures were accomplished under Michigan Water Resources Commission and US Corps of Engineers permits issued in 1969. The River was widened to compensate for loss of floodplain resulting from Plant construction and the railroad bridge was constructed so as not to interfere with floodwater flow. (Environmental Report-OLS, Sections 2.1.1.2, 2.1.3.3.2, 2.2.1, 12.1, Q&R FPM 1)Status Following the July 1984 determination to halt construction of the Midland Nuclear Plant, Consumers Power Company obtained Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) approval of a Cooling Pond Dewatering Program. Dewatering of the cooling pond was necessary to allow for the demobilization of the temporary dewatering wells and the freezewall system associated with the auxiliary building underpinning activities during the caretaker/layup status of the project. The main objective of the program was to control the potential environmental impacts associated with the dewatering and the ongoing maintenance of the cooling pond and related site water runoff.The major program elements included initial dewatering of the pond at discharge rates which were environmentally acceptable and that would not exceed State water quality standards for the Tittabawassee River, to the extent practicable relocating cooling pond fish to the river, and providing for the collection and appropriate disposal of organic materials from the pond.Staff of the MDNR Environmental Enforcement, Surface Water Quality, Fisheries, Groundwater Quality, Wildlife and Air Quality Divisions, and a representative of the Michigan Department of Public Health were designated to review various aspects of the Company's dewatering proposal for approval. (Attachment 1)RP08 86-0047A-MPO2 7 The Company received, from the Michigan Water Resources Commission (MWRC), NPDES Permit modifications to completely dewater the cooling pond and to discharge stormwater runoff and site dewatering from the dewatered pond. Notice of the revised Permit was published in Septem-ber 1984. The revised Permit was discussed before the Michigan Environmental Review Board in October and was issued by the MWRC on October 18, 1984. (Attachment 2)The revised NPDES Permit authorizes pond dewatering and contains a number of special conditions designed to address environmental mat-ters. The Cooling Pond Dewatering Program Summary Report (Attachment

3) describes the pond water discharge, water quality, fish relocation, residuals management and avifauna observations from the 1984 dewatering program. These activities were conducted in accordance with the requirements of NPDES Special Conditions 30, 31, 32 and 33.Special Condition 29 of the Permit required the submittal and approval of a Cooling Pond Maintenance Program to control stormwater runoff and site dewatering discharges.

The Company continues to implement this MDNR approved program. While the site remains in caretaker/layup status, the Cooling Pond Maintenance Program controls site stormwater drainage, site dewatering and pond area runoff. Attachment 4 includes a copy of the program including a sketch of the site showing the location of the water discharge.

Following the initial dewatering, several small dams and a settling basin were built internally in the cooling pond and the banks of an internal drain were seeded with grass. The MDNR District Supervisor approved the Cooling Pond Mainte-nance Program and the Cooling Pond Dewatering Program Summary Report (Attachment 5). After a site visit in early September 1985, he found"the Maintenance Program to be satisfactorily implemented.

In fact, the runoff control measures were very successful in controlling erosion and sediment discharges after approximately eight inches of rain in three days just prior to the visit" (Ibid). No additional federal, state or local approvals are necessary at this time for site layup.The 880-acre cooling pond comprises over 70% of the 1235-acre plant site. Additionally, stormwater drainage from the power block area drains into the cooling pond. The Cooling Pond Maintenance Program continues to control erosion and sediment discharge from the cooling pond as storm water is discharged in accordance with the NPDES Permit.All measures of that program have been implemented.

As of early fall 1986, the pond appears to have about an 85% vegetative cover.There are no plans to remove or add any structures in the Cooling Pond Area. They will all be used in the gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant. There is an ongoing program to control vegetation along the security fence and to monitor dike integrity.

Regrading was done on the north dike area just west of the access road where a large clay stock pile was removed. Some further work in this area will be required as a result of storm damage the week of September 7, 1986.RP0886-0047A-MPO2 8 Summary Site stabilization work has been implemented under the Cooling Pond Maintenance Program. Stormwater releases from the dewatered cooling pond are regulated under the NPDES Permit. The pond dike embankments have a good vegetation cover. Perimeter ditch slopes are vegetated and kept maintained.

Facilities currently in place will remain.E. Transmission Corridor Description 138 kV Start-Up Lines Two lines are involved (Environmental Report-OLS, Section 3.9.4.2 and Figure 3.9-2))One line terminates at one of the start-up transformers and extends approximately 950 feet to tap an existing circuit at a tower on the Plant site.The other line terminates at the other start-up transformer and extends to a single circuit type TH tower utilizing intermediate wood poles. The remainder of this line adjacent to the dike to Gordonville Road utilizes single wood poles, davit arm structures.

From there along Gordonville Road to the Tittabawassee substation the line is supported on steel towers. The area disturbed by construction (com-pleted in 1980) for the 138 kV lines is minimal.345 kV Lines Two 345 kV bus tie lines originate at the turbine building wall of the plant and extend across the north pond area with structures located adjacent to the dikes. The lines parallel an existing 138 kV tower line and go to the Tittabawassee Substation.

The area disturbed by construction (completed in 1982) for these towers is approximately 0.05 acres. (Environmental Report-OLS, Section 3.9.4.3 and Figure 3.9-2)The Tittabawassee to Kenowa/Thetford line is located in an existing corridor that was purchased prior to 1982. Double circuit towers were utilized.

The corridor, excluding the wider, 1 mile long exit at Tittabawassee will accommodate two 345 kV tower lines. The first 8.0 miles south from the Tittabawassee exit also accommodates two 138 kV tower lines and the next 7.6 miles accommodates one 138 kV tower line.A 138 kV line was built in the north 8.0 miles of the corridor in 1972. The 345 kV line (construction completed in 1983) Is located 100 feet east of the existing 138 kV line.The length of the line is 27.3 miles. The average area disturbed for installation of each set of tower anchors is a 40-foot square. A total of 153 towers required for the entire line caused the RP0886-0047A-MPO2 9 disturbance of 5.6 acres of land, exclusive of any compaction by construction vehicles along the tower centerline. (Environmental Report-OLS, Section 3.9.4.4 and Figures 3.9-2, 3.9-3A through 3.9-3H, and 3.9-9.)Status There is no current evidence of erosion or other adverse conditions in the transmission corridors.

The 27.3 mile 345 kV double circuit line is now being utilized and CPCo has filed with the MPSC, separately from Midland, to include these in the rate base. They are an integral permanent part of our overall transmission system.Right-of-Way Maintenance (Environmental Report-OLS, Section 5.5.3) is an ongoing activity.

Consumers Power Company's methods of maintenance comply with existing Federal and State guidelines pertaining to approved maintenance practices of transmission line rights-of-way.

Tree and shrub screens established during construction clearing are preserved and maintained by selective manual trimming or removal.Only selected tree species are removed either manually or with herbicide.

All herbicide application is performed only as directed by Federal and State laws by commercial applicators licensed by the State of Michi-gan. Only those herbicides approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for utility right-of-way application are used and they are applied in strict compliance with manufacturer recommendations.

Field operations are supervised by trained foresters certified by the State of Michigan to assure compliance with the Consumers Power Company Tree Clearing Specifications and Job Methods Manual.Summary Regardless of the final disposition of the Midland Plant, Consumers Power Company intends to keep the transmission line facilities from the plant to the Tittabawassee substation in the present configura-tion. They are necessary for the proposed gas conversion or other power plant project and enhance the value of the property's use as an industrial site. As noted above, the 345 kV lines to Kenowa/Thetford lines are currently in use. Their future use is in no way dependent on final disposition of the Midland site.4. CONCLUSION The Midland Energy Center Site has been environmentally stabilized.

Ongoing stabilization activities will be of a maintenance nature appropri-ate to any industrial facility and will be covered by State permits as necessary.

Future activities on the site will be conducted in accordance with applicable regulation of the governmental agencies having jurisdic-tion over such activities.

Doeaor August 28, 1984 Mr. Paul C. Hittle Director of Environmental Activities Consumers Power Company 212 West Michigan Avenue Jackson, Michigan 49201 Re: Midland Cooling Pond Dewatering Program

Dear Mr. Hittle:

This is to provide the Department's response to two issues which were raised at our August 20, 1984 meeting and to identify staff contacts who are reviewing your proposal.Prior to discharging, the NPDES permit needs to be modified to authorize the complete dewatering of the cooling pond. The company must up-date its permit application by formally requesting authorization to dewater the pond, Including a request to discharge via the pond outlet structure.

That request should be submitted in writing to Paul Zugger, Executive Secretary of the Water Resources Commission.

The proposed modification will be processed and placed on public notice in accordance with Commission rules. We currently intend to schedule this for Commission action at the October 18, 1984 meeting. The current permit authorizes an intermittent discharge of cooling pond blowdown, hydrostatic test water, auxiliary boiler blowdown, system flush waters, site dewatering and stormwater runoff, and the dewatering discharge may be commenced pursuant to the terms of the permit. However, the intermittent discharge must cease on October 18, 1984, unless the Water Resources Commission grants authorization for the continued dewatering of the cooling pond.The Groundwater Quality Division has determined that the organic material removed from the lagoon (dead fish and vegetation) is subject to the disposal regulations of the Solid Waste Management Act, 1978 PA 641, as amended. This means that the material must be disposed of at a licensed Type II landfill.

Consumers' proposal to dispose of the material on-site is unacceptable, unless the Company obtains the necessary license. Departnent staff who are reviewing and/or coordinating the review of the various aspects of the dewatering proposal are listed below.Overall Coordination:

SUMMARY

REPORT Prepared By Consumers Power Company June 1985 MI0585-0023A-ENO3 1 INTRODUCTION In July 1984, Consumers Power Company commenced the shutdown of the Midland Nuclear Plant. The orderly shutdown process placed the Plant in a caretaker/

layup status. To allow demobilization of dewatering wells and a freezewall system required to support underpinning construction activities, the shutdown included dewatering of the Midland cooling pond. Pond dewatering also allowed the Company to efficiently maintain the integrity of auxiliary building excavations and to avoid potential safety hazard, soil stability and building monitoring equipment maintenance concerns.The Midland cooling pond was an artificially created water body with a surface area of 880 acres and a design volume of 12,600 acre feet (Figure 1). The main purpose of the cooling pond was to provide a closed loop to supply and receive cooling water from the circulating and service water systems of the Midland Plant. The pond was filled with water pumped from the Tittabawassee River during the spring of 1978 and winter of 1978-79. The top of the imper-vious cooling pond dikes are at elevation 632 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL).Water elevation at design full pond conditions is 627 feet MSL. On the average, pond bottom is at elevation 615 feet MSL. The lowest area of the pond is at elevation 601 feet MSL. The northeast corner of the Midland pond includes a 39 acre area with pond bottom elevation to 593 feet MSL. At elevation 604 feet MSL, the northeast pond corner contained 272 acre feet of water.During Midland Plant operation, discharge from the Midland pond was to take place from outfall 001, the blowdown discharge structure (Figure 1). Using Outfall 001, the pond could be lowered to an elevation of about 618 feet MSL, the centerline of the pond discharge pipes. At elevation 618 feet MSL, the cooling pond contained approximately 4800 acre feet of water. Since this outfall was only useful for partial pond dewatering, use of the pond outlet structure (Outfall 003) to completely dewater the pond (Figure 1) was neces-sary. Therefore, on September 6, 1984 a request to modify NPDES Permit No MI 0042668 was submitted.

On October 18, 1984, the Michigan Water Resources Commission (MWRC) issued a modified NPDES Permit which authorized complete dewatering of the Midland cooling pond through Outfall 003 and the continued discharge of stormwater runoff and site dewatering from the dewatered pond.Pond dewatering was initiated on October 19, 1984 and completed on December 19, 1984. This report summarizes dewatering program activities and provides a tabulation of data collected as required in NPDES Permit Parts I.A.1, 30, 31, 32 and 33. The report consists of two sections, results and summary. The results section includes the following:

pond water discharge, water quality, fish relocation, residuals management and avifauna observa-tions.

NI WfR OR 0 S CALE IN FIECT 3 RESULTS Rond Water Discharge Cooling pond discharge through Outfall 001 was conducted during the first 18 days of October 1984 in accordance with the effluent limitations and monitor-ing requirements of NPDES Permit MI 0042668 issued November 2, 1982. During this period, pond elevation dropped from 625.4 feet MSL to 619.3 feet MSL.Cooling pond dewatering using Outfall 003 commenced at 0130 hours0.0015 days <br />0.0361 hours <br />2.149471e-4 weeks <br />4.9465e-5 months <br /> on October 19, 1984 in accordance with the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements of modified NPDES Permit MI 0042668 issued October 18, 1984.Appendix A summarizes pond discharge from Outfall 003.By NPDES Permit definition, complete dewatering was achieved on December 19, 1984 when the elevation of water first decreased to a level of 600 feet MSL in the emergency cooling water reservoir and to a level of 601 feet MSL at Outfall 003. During the 62-day dewatering period (October 19 to December 19), pond water was discharged on 48 days with continuous discharge (24 consecutive hours) on 29 days. To.meet NPDES effluent limitations, maintain dike stabili-ty and construct interior dikes and settling basins as required in the Cooling Pond Maintenance Program (NPDES Part I.A.29), discharge was limited on 19 days and terminated on 14 days of the 62-day dewatering period (Appendix A).Pond water discharge flows ranged from 241.6 cfs (156 million gallons) on October 7 to 17.1 cfs (11 million gallons) on November 19. The outfalls were observed daily during discharge.

Erosion of the discharge channel, Tittabawassee River banks or stream beds did not occur. Additionally, flood conditions did not occur in the Tittabawassee River during the cooling pond discharge period.Water Quality A list of water quality parameters, methods and monitoring frequency required per Parts I.A.1 and I.A.30 of the modified NPDES Permit is provided in Table 1. Sampling was conducted in the pond prior to initiation of dewatering (Appendix B), and in the Tittabawassee River and discharge effluent during the dewatering period (Appendix C). River and effluent sample collection loca-tions are illustrated in Figure 2. Tittabawassee River samples were collected at two locations immediately upstream (Locations 1 and 2), at four locations in a transect approximately 300 feet downstream (Locations 3, 4, 5 and 6), and at the effluent channel (Location 7).As required, when the pond elevation fell below 610 feet MSL (October 31, 1984) effluent sampling was conducted with an ISCO Model 1680 composite sampler. Each composite sample was comprised of collections taken at three-hour intervals over the discharging period.

6 solids and ammonia nitrogen.

In addition, daily effluent grab samples were collected and analyzed for pH, temperature, oil and grease, sulfide and molecular hydrogen sulfide (Appendix C). On days when river samples were collected, effluent grab samples were also analyzed for total dissolved solids, total phosphorous and fecal coliform bacteria (Appendix C).All NPDES permit water quality monitoring requirements were fulfilled except that one grab sample was not collected on November 28 and a composite sample was lost on December 12 due to sample line freezing.

Also, mass loading limits for BOD were apparently exceeded on October 26 and October 30 and documented in Notification" Incident No MID-84-12-AD01 (see Appendix D).Comparing results of effluent grab samples to upstream river grab samples (Appendix C), the effluent generally consisted of higher dissolved oxygen, total suspended solids, BOD 5 and slightly increased pH, as anticipated.

Effluent temperatures and total phosphorous were lower, overall. Values for sulfide, molecular hydrogen sulfide, total dissolved solids and ammonia nitrogen were similar in the river and effluent.

Fecal coliform values were also quite similar except when compared to the highest river values in October when effluent fecal coliform counts were much less. Water quality analysis laboratory control results are provided in Appendix E.Fish Relocation The Midland pond was filled with water pumped from the Tittabawassee River during the spring of 1978 and the winter of 1978-1979.

During pond fill, small aquatic organisms such as fish eggs and larvae passed through the 3/8-inch traveling screens on the pond intake system and survived to inhabit the pond. Some Juvenile fishes were also carried over the traveling screens and became pond inhabitants.

Semiannual pond fish collections indicated a diverse and abundant fishery inhabited the pond. Part I.A.31 of the NPDES permit required an effort to release unharmed fish to the Tittabawassee River.In compliance with this permit requirement, a fish relocation program was initiated on September 21, 1984. During the dewatering period four trap nets were set continuously and tended as necessary.

In an attempt to reduce fish mortality due to crowding, following completion of pond dewatering in Decem-ber, two trap nets were fished from January through March in the emergency cooling water reservoir.

The relocation program was very successful.

A total of approximately 25,000 fish weighing about seven tons were released unharmed into the Tittabawassee River (Appendix F). In addition, an undetermined number of fish were dis-charged during the dewatering process. During therelocation program, only about 1350 pounds of fish were either selectively removed (600 pounds of carp)or injured and removed for disposal.

Of the 1350 pounds, 1000 pounds were taken during January when weather conditions precluded transfer.M10585-0023A-EN03 7 Residuals Management To minimize the potential for water quality deterioration, pollution of air and nuisance conditions due to oxidation of organic material, pond dewatering was conducted during cool water temperatures when the water was most saturated with oxygen and the process of organic deterioration was minimal. In addi-tion, Part I.A.33 of the NPDES permit required a program for effective residu-als management (PERM). Monthly PERM reports detailing residuals management were prepared and submitted to the MDNR from October through April.Prior to initiation of dewatering, between September 20 and 27, 1984, mechani-cal harvesting of aquatic macrophytes (vegetation) was accomplished.

Harvest-ing resulted in the removal and disposal of approximately 240 cubic yards of aquatic vegetation.

This material was disposed of at the City of Midland landfill.

Vegetation removal helped maintain discharge water quality, aided the collection of fish, and helped minimize avifauna disease and nuisance conditions.

Fish which were not collectable by trap net during the fish relocation effort were collected by commercial seine. At the completion of dewatering in late December and following ice-out when bottom conditions allowed (April), seines were used to collect fish in the deepest remaining pond water (the former emergency cooling pond). Approximately 32,000 pounds of fish were removed in December and 24,000 pounds in April. The vast majority of these fish (approx-imately 98%) were carp and gizzard shad. All were disposed of at the City of Midland landfill.In addition, about 6,835 pounds of dead fish were hand-dipped, double bagged and disposed of at the City of Midland landfill.

These fish were mainly gizzard shad and juvenile sunfish that experienced winterkill.

Including seine collections (56,000 pounds), fish relocation program losses (1,350 pounds) and winterkill losses (6,835 pounds), approximately 64,185 pounds (80.3 cubic yards) of fish were disposed of at the City of Midland landfill.Finally, daily pond- perimeter observations were conducted to detect obnoxious odors. No odors were detected or citizen's complaints received.

The PERM and fish relocation program proved highly successful.

Avifauna Observations Although the collection and disposal of organic material and cool weather helped to reduce the potential for avifauna disease, a program of field observations was conducted daily, beginning October 1, 1984, per NPDES Part I.A.32 requirements to monitor pond avifauna for disease symptoms and identify situations conducive to disease development.

No evidence of disease potential or unusual disease incidence was observed.

The avifauna monitoring log is provided in Appendix G. At the completion of logged observations on December 15, 1984, daily observations by Plant personnel continued through April 1985 with similar results.MI0585-0023A-EN03 8

SUMMARY

During Midland pond dewatering, close contact was maintained with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources regarding dewatering flow rate, water quality sampling, fish relocation, collection and disposal of organic material, odor observations and avifauna disease monitoring.

Compliance was achieved with NPDES permit Parts I.A.1, 30, 31, 32 and 33. The objectives of the cooling pond dewatering program, to dewater the pond and to manage the potential environmental effects, were met in a timely and cost effective manner.MI0585-0023A-EN03 APPENDIX MIDLAND POND DEWATERING PROGRAM

10/26 & 30/84 2. Identification of specific effluent limitation or monitoring requirement affected: Daily maximum BOD5 mass load limit of 2205 lb/d.3. Description of Incident: The BOD grab sample collected on 10/26/84 at 1130 hours0.0131 days <br />0.314 hours <br />0.00187 weeks <br />4.29965e-4 months <br /> measured 2.0 mg/l. The analytical results were received 10/31/84 at 1600 hours0.0185 days <br />0.444 hours <br />0.00265 weeks <br />6.088e-4 months <br />. The daily average discharge flow rate on 10/26/84 measured 240.1 cfs. Therefore, the calculated BOD load for 10/26/84 was 2593 lbs/d. The BOD grab sample collected on 10/10/84 at 1150 hours0.0133 days <br />0.319 hours <br />0.0019 weeks <br />4.37575e-4 months <br /> measured 2.2 mg/l. The analytical results were received 11/5/84 at 1230 hours0.0142 days <br />0.342 hours <br />0.00203 weeks <br />4.68015e-4 months <br />. The daily average discharge flow rate on 10/30/84 mea-sured 199.6 cfs. Therefore, the calculated BOD load for 10/30/84 was 2371 lbs/d. Although samples were neither required nor taken during the period 10/27/84 to 10/29/84 it is possible that the daily maximum BOD5 load limit may have been exceeded during this interim period.4.. Apparent Cause: The combination of discharge flow rate and BOD5 concentration resulted in the apparent exceedances of the daily maximum BOD5 load limit. Also due to the nature of the BOD analysis, the results are not received until five days after the sample was taien by which time the incident had already occurred.5. If not immediately corrected, the anticipated time the condition is expected to continue: NA 6. Corrective Action -The following corrective action was taken or will be taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent recurrence:

Nothing could be done about the lag time in receiving the BOD5 analytical re-sults. However, when the BOD results of the 10/26/84 sample were received on 10/31/84, the daily average discharge flow on 10/31/84 was reduced to 48.6 cfs.RP1184-0055A-TJO1 2 of 2 File No P10.2.1 APPENDIX D Incident No: MID-84-10-AD01

7. Additional Comments: Although there were no observable adverse impacts to the Tittabawassee River water quality or the aquatic biota in the river as a result of the elevated BOD5 discharge, the pond discharge flow rate was greatly reduced.Additionally' the discharge was terminated about 1320 hours0.0153 days <br />0.367 hours <br />0.00218 weeks <br />5.0226e-4 months <br /> on 11/01/84 because of increasing pond turbidity, resulting from heavy rainfall on exposed pond bottom.8.

Attached is a copy of the revised program. This revision is based on the comments provided by Terry L Walkington in his November 20, 1984 letter and during his site visit on December 12, 1984.All components of the program have been implemented, except those described below, which will be implemented shortly. Pond dewatering discharges (Permit Part I.A.1) will be completed in December 1984. The dam on the former Stewart Road culvert and the dam on the trench to the Service Water Intake will be installed during December 1984 or as soon as freezing conditions allow. Pumps will be used during non-freezing weather and removed during freezing weather.Grass seeding of the banks of the former Waite-Debolt Drain will occur in the spring of 1985.We would appreciate your approval of this program. If you have any questions about the program, please call P B Latvaitis at (517) 788-1975.Yours very truly PCH/RFG/fmh CC JDBails, DNR BWMarguglio, JSC-220A TWalkington, DNR 1 COOLING POND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM After complete dewatering of the cooling pond, the Cooling Pond Maintenance Program is conducted to control the suspended solids concentration in storm-water runoff and site dewatering discharged from the cooling pond. The program is designed to collect and discharge stormwater and associated de-watering well discharge.

There are three primary areas of water accumulation; the emergency cooling water reservoir (ECWR), the circulating water discharge (CWD) structure area and the area near Outfall 003.Site storm drainage (as identified in the NPDES Application, Revision 3, submitted November 11, 1981) and water from rainfall and associated site dewatering well discharges accumulates in the ECWR and CWD areas. The area near Outfall 003 contains water pumped from the ECWR and CWD, rainfall and pond area runoff. Most of the 880 acre cooling pond either slopes toward Outfall 003 or is drained to the former Waite-Debolt Drain which conveys water to the area near Outfall 003. Discharge will be conducted from Outfall 003 in compliance with Part I.A.2 of NPDES Permit 0042668.The attached sketch of the cooling pond shows the location of the former Waite-Debolt Drain on the pond bottom and the location of a drainage ditch from the ECWR to the area near Outfall 003. Also shown are the pump loca-tions, the settling basin for ECWR pumped discharge, the backwater areas along the drainage ditch from the ECWR to the outfall, the aggregate dam above the former Stewart Road culvert, the backwater area behind this dam, and the pooled area near Outfall 003. Water accumulating near the CWD structures is pumped over the baffle dike into the emergency cooling water reservoir.

Water MI0984-6867A-ENO2

' *2 accumulating in the ECWR is pumped to a settling basin and then flows to the backwater on the ditch leading to Outfall 003. This backwater area formed by high points on the ditch slows velocities and reduces suspended solids concen-trations.

Outfall 003 is normally closed. The discharge gates are opened when visual inspection of accumulated water indicates the effluent will be acceptable.

Several additional features maintain low total suspended solids concentrations in the collected stormwater discharged from Outfall 003. The inner slopes of the cooling pond dike and the baffle dike are protected with riprap. The riprap extends from the dike crest (632 ft MSL) to the toe of the dike or to elevation 615 ft MSL, whichever is higher. The 18 in thick riprap layer rests on a 12 in thick crushed rock bedding layer. Where the dike slope extends below elevation 615 ft MSL it is protected by a 12 in layer of crushed rock to the toe of the dike. Therefore, rainfall and runoff are not expected to cause erosion of these dike slopes. Water pumped from the CWD structures area is released directly onto the riprapped east slope of the baffle dike, using this surface as a controlled spillway into the ECWR. A small dam across the trench connecting the ECWR with the Service Water Intake (SWI) prevents water accumu-lating in the ECWR from seeping into the plant area. The small pool between this dam and the SWI is pumped as needed, onto aggregate into the ECWR. In the emergency cooling water reservoir the water depth is maintained at a minimum of about 2 ft by pumping. This depth minimizes the possibility of pumping water with high suspended solids concentrations.

Localized sumps for the pumps maintain desired pumping levels while minimizing suspended solids releases.

Water pumped from the ECWR is released to a 75 ft diameter, 4 ft MI0984-6867A-ENO2 3 deep, riprap lined settling basin adjacent to the ECWR and about 1550 ft from the Outfall 003 structure.

The suction points of pumps in the ponded areas are in cages off the bottom of the sump to minimize suspended solids concen-trations in the pump discharge.

An aggregate dam just above the former Waite-Debolt Drain culvert under the former Stewart Road forms a backwater along the lower portion of the former drain to slow water velocity and reduce any suspended solids concentrations.

Additionally, with the discharge gates on Outfall 003 normally closed, a backwater pool forms to about elevation 602-603 ft MSL at the outlet. Again, this pool reduces velocities from all contributing sources and allows any suspended solids to settle.The cooling pond bottom is expected to revegetate naturally.

Additionally, grass seeding of the banks of the former Waite-Debolt Drain will also form a sediment filter and help to stabilize the banks.The discharge gate at Outfall 003 will be opened periodically (after suspended solids have settled) to allow discharge of the stormwater to the river.12/17/84 M10984-6867A-ENO2 N\51 S 35000 S 7000 PLANT SSTEtf.!n i " SW!63 :C1 IE T DISJG -TUflm SRU SCALE 000 F CHID S 30 1.1 Settling Aggregate Dam -- ft..m..

Dear 2Mr. Hittle:

This documents approval of the Midland Cooling Pond 1aintenance Program submitted to the Chief of our Divion on December 17, 1984, and the Midland Cooling Pond Dewatering Program Summary Report submitted June 12, 1985.The December 1984 submittal included revisions we requested in Novo-mber 20, 1984, correspondence and a December 12, 1984, site visit. All prior review comments ware satisfied in the revised Program. This approval has been delayed because of questions regarding the operators' certification which were discussed exten-sively w;ith rA. Ron Fobes during the period December 1984 through February 1985. Part II.A.3. of INPDES Permit No. M1-0042668 re-quires, "The permittee shall have the waste treatment facilities under the direct supervision of an operator certified by the Michigan Water Resources Commission, as required by Section 6a of the M-lichigan Act." The facilities are classified Ald and A2f.Another site visit was made by the Nriter on September 6, 1985, whereby a tour was provided of the pond by company representa-tives. We found the Maintenance Program to be satisfactorily implemented.

In fact, the runoff control measures were very successful in controlling erosion and sediment discharges after approximately eight inches of rain in three days just prior to the visit./

.. un --rstand that the issue of operator certification will be ralol-vcd by sufficient numbers of operators taking the Induýt--ia!

o'-ti-ication Exam this November to have qualified cartified personnel on site at Midland in the future. We request your response at a later date to list the personnel so certified who arc designated responsible for the Cooling Pond Maintenance Program.The Dewatering Stu=uary Report was complete and very oatirfactory and :natii:fies Opecial Conditions 30, 31, and 322 :,f the NPDES Permit.IWe will be making routine inspections of the Cooling Pond in the L:.ture as with other armittcd discharges.

Other Events.On September 17, 1986, the Dow Chemical Company and Consumers Power Company (the "Company")

announced that they had reached an agreement in principle to work together to convert the Company's Midland plant into a natural gas-fueled combined-cycle cogeneration plant, and issued the fol-lowing press release.

DOW CHEMICAL, CONSUMERS POWER TO JOIN IN EFFORT TO CONVERT MIDLAND PLANT IANSING, Mich., September 17, 1986 -7he Dow Chemical Corpany and Consumers Power Ccupany today announced that they have reached an agreement in principle to work together to convert the idled Midland nuclear plant into a natural gas cambined-cycle cogeneration plant.Under terms of the agreement, Dow would became an equity participant in the project and would receive the steam and electrical needs of its Michigan Division Midland Plant fram the new facility.

Dow and Consumers Power have also agreed to seek a recess of their current legal proceedings concerning the Midland nuclear plant while the two cacpanies complete a final agreement.

Such an agreement would resolve all differences between the two carpanies.

The natural gas ccmbined-cycle project is expected to qualify under the federal Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act (PURPA) as a cogeneration facility.

PURPA was enacted by Congress to encourage development of electrical generating plants that could produce steam as well as electricity.

The Dow plant uses large anmunts of steam, thus making the proposed generating plant more efficient and leading to conservation of natural gas.
