VIOLATIONS A., Condition Re orted Section F(5) of the Construction Permit states, in part, that the applicant shall take the necessary mitigating action, including those summarized in Section 4.6 of the Revised Environmental Statement, during construction of the station, to avoid unnecessary adverse environmental impacts from construction activities.

Contrary to the above, inspection disclosed that, at least during the two week period prior to and including inspection, no mitigating action was implemented to control or otherwise minimize the unacceptable impact of road dust resulting from construction activities at the station power block.

Corrective Ste s Taken and Results Achieved

1. Contractor was remobilized November 15, 1978, to assist in watering roads.
2. Reimplemented dust control measles November 15, 1978. Site roadways are watered as required to keep dust down. Watering is commenced when deemed necessary by either the Site Manager, Environmental Engineer, Construction Manager or General Superintendent.

Corrective Ste s Taken to Avoid Further Noncom liance

1. Additional water truck has been ordered to improve the site's ability to control dust during dry periods.

Date When Full Com liance Was Achieved November 15, 1978 B. Condition Re orted Section 4.6 (4.6.l.l.e) of the Revised Final Environmental Statement, as referenced in Section F(5) of the Construction Permit, requires, in part, that erosion and soil runoff causing contamination of surface waters will be minimized. It further requires, during early construction of the main dam, the use of smaller sediment traps, collection ditches, and intercepts to reduce the silt load to such waters.

Contrary to the above, inspection disclosed that the licensee failed to minimize contamination and silt loading of Buckhorn Creek at the main dam construction site.

Corrective Ste s Taken and Results Achieved Pursuant to North Carolina Administrative Code 15 NCAC 4B .0005a, an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan was submitted to the North Carolina Division of Land Resources on April 7, 1978 for the main dam. The Plan was approved by the Division of Land Resources subject to the condition that modifications could be required to improve the performance and effectiveness of the approved erosion control measures under actual field conditions. Accordingly, the following additional measures have-been implemented:

1. Placed stone filter around standpipe of silt pond loc<<ed south << the cofferdam.
