SUMMARY
- During the year 2010, a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) was 0conducted for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) to assess the levels of radiation or radioactivity in the environment.
More than 1100 samples were collected (including TLDs) over the course of the monitoring period, with approximately 2300 radionuclide or exposure rate analyses performed.
This report contains results from the operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring
- Program (REMP) for Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) compiled for the period January 1, 2010*through December 31, 2010. This program is conducted in accordance with DCPP Program Directive* CY2, "Radiological Monitoring and Controls Program," and RP .ID 11, "Environmental Radiological
- Monitoring Procedure." 0 The types of samples (matrix ID) collected for this monitoring period are as follows: Air Particulate (AP) Air Cartridges (AC) For Iodine Monitoring, Direct Radiation (TLD's) Milk (MK) Meat (MT) Vegetation (VG)Drinking Water (DW) Ground Water (GW) Surface Water (SW) Aquatic Vegetation (AV)Fish (FH) Mussels (IM) Sediment (SD)*Diablo Canyon REMP collects environmental samples and ships them to General Engineering Labs (GEL) located in Charleston, South Carolina.
All REMP lab sample analyses in 2010 were performed by GEL.The ambient direct radiation levels in the DCPP environs did not change and were within the preoperational range.Site operations had no significant impact on airborne radioactivity in the environment.
Site operations had no significant impact on surface water radioactivity.
0 Site operations had no significant impact on drinking water radioactivity.
Food crops, milk, and meat samples detected only naturally occurring radioactivity; and therefore had no impact from site operation.
Site operations had no significant impact on marine life radioactivity.
Site operations had no significant impact on aquatic or terrestrial vegetation radioactivity.
Ground water monitoring data is collected in accordance with the nuclear industry NEI 07-07 Groundwater Protection Initiative (August 2007). Concentrations of tritium were detected in three 0 0 0 0 0 monitoring wells beneath the DCPP power block (OW 1, OW2, and DY 1). This tritium is attributed to rain-washout of gaseous tritium exiting the plant vent system (via an approved discharge path). It should be noted that studies of the DCPP site indicate that any groundwater (subsurface) flow beneath the DCPP power block is not currently used as a source of drinking water. Due to topography and site characteristics, this subsurface flow discharges into the Pacific Ocean which is approximately 100 yards from the power block.In March 2008, the DCPP Unit Two (U-2) Steam Generators were replaced and the old U-2 Steam Generators (4 total) were stored onsite within the Old Steam Generator Storage Facility (OSGSF)mausoleum.
In February 2009, the DCPP Unit One (U-1) Steam Generators were replaced and the old U-I Steam Generators (4 total) were stored onsite within the OSGSF mausoleum.
In November 2009, the DCPP Unit Two (U-2) Reactor (Rx) Head was replaced and the old U-2 Rx Head was stored onsite within the OSGSF mausoleum.
In October 2010, the DCPP Unit One (U-i) Rx Head was replaced and the old U-I Rx Head was stored onsite within the OSGSF mausoleum.
As of 12-31-10, the OSGSF 0 contains eight old Steam Generators and two old Rx Heads. This OSGSF mausoleum did not cause any changes to the ambient direct radiation levels in the DCPP environs during 2010.The OSGSF building sumps were inspected quarterly by the REMP. Rainwater was found in the U-2 Old Steam Generator vault # 30 sump. This rainwater had tritium concentrations of < 1,000 0 pCi/Liter.
The rainwater from the sump was removed and processed via an approved radwaste discharge pathway.Beginning in June 2009, DCPP began loading of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation 0 (ISFSI) and is discussed in Section 4. The ISFSI had no significant impact to the inner ring REMP TLD station readings.The results of the 2010 REMP showed no unusual findings from site operations.
These results were also compared to preoperational data and showed no unusual trends.The operation of DCPP had no significant radiological impact on the environment.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) consists of two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors.*Unit 1 began commercial operation in 1985, and Unit 2 began commercial operation in 1986.0*Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) samples are collected by DCPP REMP personnel and sent to General Engineering Labs in Charleston, South Carolina for analysis.
Fish (except market fish) and ocean sediment samples are collected by contract divers of Tenera Environmental and given to DCPP REMP personnel for shipment to GEL. Market fish samples are collected by local commercial fishermen and then purchased by DCPP REMP personnel in one of two local fish markets for*shipment to GEL. Direct radiation analyses were conducted by DCPP REMP personnel and the DCPP*Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) Lab.0 DCPP sends replicate samples of milk (5F2), drinking water (DW1), outfall water (OUT), Diablo Creek (5S2), vegetative crops (7G1), fish (DCM), sediment (DCM), and kelp (DCM) to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Radiological Health Branch as part of a State cross check program.0Other pathways monitored independently by the CDPH are direct radiation and air sampling.0 This report summarizes the quarterly findings of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring
- Program (REMP) conducted by the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The remainder of this report is organized as follows: Section 2: Provides a description of the overall REMP design. Included is a summary of the*requirements for REMP sampling and tables listing routine sampling and TLD monitoring locations with distances from the plant. Tables listing Lower Limit of Detection requirements and Reporting Levels (NRC notification if levels are*exceeded) also included.0 Section 3: Consists of the summarized data as required by the Radiological Environmental
- Monitoring Program. The summaries are provided similar to that specified by the NRC Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring.
0 Section 4: Provides a summary of the results for the samples collected.
The performance of the 0program in meeting the requirements is discussed, and the data acquired during the monitoring period is analyzed.
Also included is environmental TLD preoperational data trending.0 Section 5: Provides a summary of groundwater monitoring in accordance with the nuclear*industry NEI 07-07 Groundwater Protection Initiative (August 2007).0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2.0 PROGRAM DESIGN The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) was designed with the following specific objectives in mind. These objectives will continue to be in force, to varying degrees, throughout facility operation.
To provide an early indication of the appearance or accumulation of any radioactive material in the environment caused by facility operation.
Preoperational data is also used in this comparison.
S To provide assurance to regulatory agencies and the public that the station's environmental impact is known and within anticipated limits.To provide standby monitoring capability for rapid assessment of risk to the general public in the event of unanticipated or accidental releases of radioactive material.S 0 The environmental media selected were based on the critical dose pathways of the radionuclides from the environment to man. They included the following:
direct radiation, air, water, fish, ocean sediment, and invertebrates.
Supplemental samples such as algae, kelp, local agricultural crops, recreational beach sand, groundwater, meat, and milk were also collected.
The sampling locations were determined by land use, site meteorology, and local demographics.
Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Radiological Environmental Monitoring, Revision 1, November 1979 0 The detailed sampling requirements of the REMP are given in Table 2.1 of this report. Summaries of REMP sampling for the period are shown in Appendix A of this report. Direct dose (environmental TLDs) results are shown in Appendix B of this report. The REMP sample isotopic results (including 2 sigma total propagated error) are shown in Appendix C of this report. Any deviations from the REMP sampling schedule requirements are documented in section 4.0 of this report.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0* 2.1 MONITORING ZONES The REMP is designed to allow comparison of levels of radioactivity in samples from the areas possibly influenced by DCPP to levels found in areas not influenced by the facility operations.
Areas with the potential to be influenced by facility operations are called"indicator" stations.
Areas with sufficient distance from the plant that are not likely to be influenced by facility operations are called the "control" stations.
The distinction between the two zones is based on relative direction from the plant and distance.
Analysis of survey data from the two zones aids in determining if there is a significant difference between the two areas. It can also help in differentiating between radioactive releases and seasonal variations in the natural environmental background.

2.3 DESCRIPTION
S OF REMP MONITORING
2.3.1 Direct
Radiation SDirect ambient radiation was measured at 31 stations in the vicinity of DCPP using*Panasonic UD814 TLD badges. The TLD badges had valid element correction
- factors (ECF), were calibrated using a NIST-traceable cesium-137 source, were annealed prior to placement, and were sealed in watertight packaging.
These*badges were replaced on a quarterly basis.Direct ambient radiation was measured at 8 stations in the vicinity of the ISFSI*using Panasonic UD814 TLD badges. The TLD badges had valid element*correction factors (ECF), were calibrated using a NIST-traceable cesium-137 source, were annealed prior to placement, and were sealed in watertight packaging.
- These badges were replaced on a quarterly basis.0 The field TLD badge packets were prepared and processed by DCPP personnel and the DCPP TLD Lab. Control badges were carried with the field badges to measure any dose received during transit. The location, date, and time of exchange were recorded on a log sheet which accompanied the field badges. The net exposure was*reported over a standard 90 day quarter.2.3.2 Airborne Radioactivity Air particulate and radioiodine sampling were performed weekly at six indicator stations:
MT1, 0S2, IS 1, 7D11, 8S1 and 8S2. Air particulate and radioiodine
- sampling was performed weekly at one control station: 5F 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Constant flow air samplers were used to draw air through paper filters to collect air particulates and through triethylenediamine (TEDA) impregnated charcoal cartridges to collect radioiodine.
The air samplers were set at a flow rate of 1.5 standard cubic feet per minute. The air samplers were located approximately one meter above the ground. The sample volumes were determined by F&J Corporation model DF- 1 flowmeters (corrected to standard temperature and pressure, STP) which are installed downstream of the sample head. At the end of the sampling period (weekly), the filter and cartridge were collected.
All necessary data regarding the air volume readings, flowrate, sampler time on and off, date of collection, and sampler location were recorded and submitted to GEL along with the samples for analysis.Approximately 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after sampling (to allow for radon and thoron daughter decay), the filter papers collected from the field were placed on individual planchets and counted for gross beta activity in a low background, thin window gas proportional counter. Gamma isotopic analysis was then performed on quarterly composites of the filters (by location) to determine the activity concentration of gamma emitting isotopes.The TEDA impregnated charcoal cartridges were counted for each weekly sampling period at each location for gamma isotopic analyses to determine the radioiodine concentration.
0 2.3.3 Waterborne 0 Water samples (drinking water, surface water, monitor wells, and groundwater) were collected at the frequencies shown in Table 2.1 0 Ocean surface water samples were collected at Diablo Cove (station DCM), Rattlesnake Canyon (station 7C2), and at the plant Outfall (station OUT).0 Drinking water samples were collected from Diablo Creek Weir (station 5S2), Diablo Creek Outlet (station WN2), Blanchard Spring (station 1A2), and from the DCPP drinking water system (station DW1). Drinking water was also collected from a control station located in San Luis Obispo at the Offsite Emergency Lab (station OEL).0 Supplemental groundwater samples were collected from Water Well 02 (WW2)and DCSF96-1 (8S3).0 Supplemental onsite monitoring well samples were collected from Observation Well 01 (OW 1), Observation Well 02 (OW2), and a french drain system labeled Drywell 115 (DY1). These shallow wells are located in close proximity to the facility power block structures and within the protected area.After collection, the samples were securely sealed and labeled with sample type, location, date, time of collection, and the person performing the collection and sent to GEL for analysis.0 0 0 0 0 0 S 0* 2.3.4 Marine Biological, Beach Sand, and Ocean Sediment*The REMP requires sampling of rockfish (family Sebastes ), perch (family*Embiotocidae), mussels (family Mytilus), and ocean sediment from indicator station DCM and control station 7C2. All other marine samples collected are considered supplemental.
These supplemental marine samples included the*following:
intertidal algae, intertidal mussels, kelp, and market fish. The intertidal samples were collected by DCPP personnel during low tidal conditions.
Kelp was collected quarterly by DCPP personnel from the offshore kelp bed in the vicinity of*the plant. Quarterly samples of fish and an annual sample of ocean sediments were collected from the plant environs by contracted divers (TENERA Environmental)..
The Tenera divers fillet the fish and leave a small portion of skin for identification.
- Beach sand was collected by DCPP personnel between the high and low tide boundaries at nearby recreational beaches. Fish caught locally by commercial fishermen were purchased from two local fish markets (Avila Beach Pier-7D3 and*Morro Bay-2F 1).0All samples were subject to unavailability due to seasonal fluctuations or 0unfavorable sampling conditions.
The above samples were sealed in plastic bags*immediately upon collection.
Mussels are sent to GEL in-shell where GEL personnel remove the meat & internal organs for analysis.
Only edible portions*of the fish were analyzed (fish fillets).
The samples were labeled with sample type, location, date, time of collection, and individual performing the collection.
The samples were then frozen (to prevent spoilage odor) before they were sent to*GEL for analysis.2.3.5 Food Crops The REMP requires broadleaf food vegetation to be collected in the nearest off-*site locations of the highest calculated annual average ground level D/Q*(dispersion parameter) within 5 miles. There is no broadleaf food vegetation available that satisfies this requirement.
Because these food products are unavailable, the DCPP REMP conducts additional air sampling in the SE (station*8S2) and NNW (station I SI) sectors. Additional representative samples of food crops in season were collected monthly from supplemental stations:
Cal Poly Farm (5F2), Kawaoka Farm in Arroyo Grande (7G1), Mello Farm (7C1) along*the site access road, and a quarterly household garden (6C 1).The monthly samples were collected by DCPP personnel and sealed immediately
- in plastic bags. The quarterly household garden sample (6C 1) is provided to*DCPP personnel by the land occupant (due to access difficulty and privacy).
The samples were labeled with sample type, location, collection date, collection time, and the individual performing the collection.
The samples were normally frozen*before they were sent to GEL for analysis (to prevent spoilage odor).2.3.6 MilkThere are no animals within the vicinity of the plant that are utilized for milk consumption by humans. However, supplemental samples of cow milk were collected monthly from Cal Poly Farm (5F2) which is approximately 13 miles*from DCPP. Two 1-gallon plastic containers of milk were collected each*sampling period by DCPP personnel.
Forty grams of sodium bio-sulfite preservative were added to each gallon of milk sample. The containers were 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 sealed and shaken thoroughly to distribute the preservative.
The containers were labeled with sample type, location, collection date, collection time, and the individual performing the collection.
The samples were then express shipped to GEL for analysis.0 2.3.7 Meat A rancher routinely grazes cattle, goats, and sheep within three miles of the site boundary.
These livestock meats were offered at local farmer's markets and private distribution.
This meat commodity began at the end of 2007. REMP personnel obtained meat samples of each species directly from the land owner.Gamma spec and strontium analyses were performed on the meat.0 Property owners could hunt deer and wild pig (in season) within 5 miles of the site boundary.
The REMP attempted to obtain meat samples from these property owners when available.
Gamma spec and strontium analyses were performed on the meat (when provided).
No deer or pig meat were provided in 2010.The meat was initially packaged by the livestock owners and turned over to REMP personnel.
The packages were then separated by species and placed in large zip-lock bags. Each bag was labeled with sample type, location, collection date, collection time, and the individual performing the collection.
The samples were then frozen and sent to GEL for analysis.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TABLE 2.1: Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program 0 0 0 0 0 S 0 S 0 0 S 0 0 0 0 0 Exposure Pathway Number of Representative Sampling Collection Frequency Type of Required or and/or Sample Type Samples and Sample Stations Analysis Supplemental Locations'

Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to circumstances such as hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons.If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice at the most desired location or time. In these instances, suitable specific alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, and submitted in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, including a revised figure(s) and table for the ERMP reflecting the new location(s) with supporting information identifying the cause of the unavailability of samples for that pathway and justifying the section of the new location(s) for obtaining samples.2. For the purposes of this table, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is considered to be one phosphor.

Gamma isotopic analysis means the identification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the facility.5. If broadleaf vegetation food products are unavailable, additional air sampling as specified in Table 2.1, Parts 2 & 3 will be done in the SE (Station 8S2) and NNW (station ISI) sectors.6. The Branch Technical Position (Nov 79) states, "Any location from which milk can no longer be obtained may be dropped from the surveillance program after notifying the NRC in writing that they are no longer obtainable at that location".
Although milk sampling performed at 5F2 is outside the 5-mile radius and is supplemental to the REMP, this notification should take place if 5F2 milk sampling ceases.

Table Notations For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:
LLD =4.66Sb E x V x 2.22 x Y x exp(-Xt)Where: LLD = the "a priori" the lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCi per unit mass or volume)Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute)E = the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation)
V = the sample size (in units of mass or volume)2.22 = the number of transformations per minute per pico-curie Y = the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
X = the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide t = the elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting The value of Sb used in the calculation of the LLD for a detection system will be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of the blank samples (as appropriate) rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance.
In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry, the background will include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the samples (e.g., potassium-40 in milk samples).Analyses will be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions.
Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable.
In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Environmental Radiological Operating Report.Typical values of E, V, Y and t should be used in the calculation.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

SUMMARY
OF TABLES This section summarizes the analytical results of the environmental samples, which were collected during the monitoring period. The results, shown in Appendix A, are presented in a format similar to that*prescribed in the NRC's Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring.
The results are ordered by sample media type and then by radionuclide.
Each table is nuclide specific, and the total number of analyses for that radionuclide during the monitoring period, are provided.
Additionally, the number of measurements which exceeded the Reporting Levels (NRC Notification Level) found in Table 2.4 of this report are provided.
The first column lists the matrix or 0pathway sampled during the period. The second column lists the nuclides analyzed and number of samples*performed.
The third column provides the required Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for radionuclides that have detection capability requirements as specified in Table 2.3 of this report. The sixth and seventh Scolumns contain the mean and average results for locations.
The eighth column contains the number for reportable occurrences for the location pathway. Occasionally, the required LLD is not met. An example of this occurrence might be due to hold times between sampling and analysis.
Such cases, if any, are*addressed in Section 4.0 of this report Additionally, the tables of Appendix A provide the mean of all sample results analyzed for the specified radionuclide/
media type, the range, and the number of samples that were considered to have detectable activity of all the samples counted.* The mean value consists of the average of detectable concentrations.
S* The lowest and highest detected concentration values.S 0 The number of detectable measurements and the total number of measurements.
For example, (4/20) would indicate that 4 of the 20 samples collected, for that sample type and that Sradionuclide, contained detectable radioactivity.
S 5A sample is considered to yield a "detectable measurement" when the concentration exceeds three times its associated standard deviation.
5The radionuclides reported in this section represent those that:*1) had an LLD requirement in Table 2.3 of this report, or a Reporting Level listed in Table 2.4 02) were of specific interest for any other reason The radionuclides routinely analyzed and reported for a gamma spectroscopy analysis are: Ac-228, Ag-*1 10m, Be-7, K-40, Ce-144, Co-57, Co-58, Co-60, Cr-51, 1-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140, La-140, Fe-59, Mn-54, Nb-95, Ru-103, Rh-106, Sb-124, Sb-125, Zn-65, and Zr-95.SData from direct radiation measurements made by TLD are also provided in Appendix A in a similar format*described above. Actual quarterly TLD results are listed in Appendix B.S S 0 S S 0 S 0 4.0 ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESULTS 4.1 REMP Sampling Variance / Deviations The DCPP Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program allows for deviations in the REMP sampling schedule "if samples are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, or malfunction of sampling equipment." Such deviations do not compromise the program's effectiveness and are normally anticipated for any radiological environmental monitoring program.The DCPP REMP includes both required and supplemental samples. This section describes the variances with the required samples and describes some of the supplemental sampling during the year.0 DIRECT RADIATION There were no abnormal affects to the station TLD readouts.AIRBORNE RADIOACTIVITY The mean percent availability for all on-site and off-site air samplers was 99.5 percent. This means, on average, all air samplers were up and running 99.5 percent of the time. The remaining 0.5 percent can be attributed to equipment problems, filter exchange, and calibration processes.

Approximately 163 hours0.00189 days <br />0.0453 hours <br />2.695106e-4 weeks <br />6.20215e-5 months <br /> of air sampler lost run time occurred at station 1S I from 5-12-10 to 5-19-10 due to an automatic factory preset pump down power function.
A new pump was placed 0 at 1 2 on 5-12-10, however the technician did not ensure the factory preset was disabled.Therefore, the new pump turned itself off after 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> of runtime. This was the second occurrence of a factory pre-set down power of a new air sample pump. The REMP air sampling procedure was revised to ensure factory pre-sets are disabled.MARINE SAMPLES All marine samples were collected as scheduled (including allowable variation).
The California Department of Fish and Game has issued regulations prohibiting the collection of abalone along the central and southern coast of California.
PG&E considers is unlikely that collection of abalone will be allowed in the DCPP environs in the near future. The REMP has therefore ceased routine abalone sampling.
Note that the sampling of abalone was previously performed and was supplemental to the REMP.0 0 0 0 0 S 0 TERRESTRIAL SAMPLES All terrestrial samples were collected as scheduled (including allowable variation) with the exception of the August vegetation sample from REMP station 7C 1. No vegetation was available t* at 7C 1 during August of 2010. It should be noted that this vegetation sample is supplemental to the REMP.5First, second, and third quarter 3C 1 vegetation samples were not provided by the landowner in 2010.*OCEAN SURFACE WATER, DRINKING WATER, AND GROUNDWATER SAMPLES All water samples were collected as scheduled (including allowable variation).
- REPLICATE SAMPLES*Replicate sampling is conducted within the REMP for program strength and correlation.
Replicate samples were taken from 5F2 Vegetation (March), 5F2 Milk (March and May), DY I(March), OW l (March), OW2 (March), and OEL Drinking Water (September).
The results of the analyses were within expected correlation.
- 4.2 COMPARISON OF ACHIEVED LLDS WITH REQUIREMENTS For each analysis having an LLD requirement, criteria for the calculated "a priori" (before the fact) LLD were met during the sampling and analysis process. Meeting these process criteria satisfies the "a priori" LLD requirements.
The "a posteriori'" (after the fact) Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) for that analysis was also compared with the required "a priori " (before the fact) LLD.Table 2.3 of this report gives the required "a priori" Lower Limits of Detection (LLDs) for 0environmental sample analyses required by the DCPP Radiological Environmental Monitoring 5Program.
Occasionally an LLD is not achievable due to situations, such as hold times between sampling and analysis.
In such a case, a discussion of the situation is provided.Air sampling station 0S2 during the week of 3-24-10 did not meet the particulate nor iodine cartridge a-priori LLDs due to the amount of lost runtime for that week. Air sampling station 1S I*during the week of 5-12-10 did not meet the particulate nor iodine cartridge a-priori LLDs due to the amount of lost runtime for that week. Approximately 163 hours0.00189 days <br />0.0453 hours <br />2.695106e-4 weeks <br />6.20215e-5 months <br /> of air sampler lost run time occurred at stations 0S2 and 1S I due to an automatic factory preset pump down power function.*Therefore, minimum sample volumes to achieve a-priori LLDs were not obtained for 0S2 during* the week of 3-24-10 or for ISI during the week of 5-12-10.S All other REMP samples analyzed met the specific "a-priori" LLD requirements in 2010.54.3 COMPARISON OF RESULTS AGAINST REMP REPORTING LEVELS Notification is required whenever a Reporting Level in Table 2.4 of this document is exceeded.Reporting Levels are the environmental concentrations that relate to the ALARA design dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. It should be noted that environmental concentrations are averaged over calendar quarters for the purposes of this comparison, and that Reporting Levels 5apply only to measured levels of radioactivity due to DCPP plant related effluents.
No REMP Reporting Levels were exceeded during this monitoring period.0 S S S S 4.4 DATA ANALYSIS BY MEDIA TYPE The REMP data for each media type is discussed below. A sample is considered to yield a"detectable measurement" when the concentration exceeds three times its associated standard deviation.
4.4.1 Direct
Radiation Direct radiation is continuously measured at 31 locations surrounding DCPP using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). These 31 locations are made up of 29 indicator stations &2 control stations.
These dosimeters are collected every calendar quarter for readout at the DCPP TLD Lab. The results are trended with preoperational and historical operating values for adverse trends. No adverse trends were noted in 2010 as indicated by the graph that follows.0 Direct radiation is also continuously measured at 8 locations surrounding the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). These 8 locations are located directly adjacent to the ISFSI protected area, with 2 stations on each of the four sides of the ISFSI pad. It should be noted that these stations and the ISFSI are well within the site boundary.
These dosimeters are collected every calendar quarter for readout at the DCPP TLD Lab. The first spent fuel canister was loaded onto the ISFSI pad in June 2009. The small increase in radiation levels at the ISFSI pad prior to spent fuel canister load was due to storage of Radioactive Material (RAM) equipment in seatrains at the ISFSI pad prior to an outage. These seatrains of RAM were removed prior to the first load of spent fuel canisters.
In May 2010, DCPP began the second ISFSI loading of spent fuel canisters.
This second loading of spent fuel canisters is the reason for the increase in ISFSI TLD readings in mid 2010. No adverse trends were noted at the DCPP inner ring stations due to ISFSI for 2010 as indicated by the graphs that follow. It should be noted that the DCPP inner ring TLD results tracked in correlation with normal Environmental TLD outer ring, special interest, and control location fluctuations.
It should also be noted that DCPP inner ring TLD results remain within pre-operational ranges.0 0 S 0 0 0 0 S 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 S 0 0 S 0 0 0 0 0 Trending Of TLD Direct Radiation Results........ Im .... ... ..........

A total of 364 air particulate filters and 364 iodine cartridges were collected and analyzed.
The data collected for the air-sampling program is summarized in Appendix A.Gross beta activity was detected in almost every weekly air particulate sample collected from all indicator and control stations.
Comparison of the data showed that the mean values of gross beta activities for the indicator stations were consistent with those obtained for the control station and historical trending.
Normal background gross beta values range from 2E-3 to 9E-2 pCi/m3. The gross beta activities detected at the air sampling stations are tabulated in Appendix A.Gamma isotopic analyses were performed on quarterly composites of the air particulate filters from each station. All samples collected during the monitoring period contained only naturally occurring radioactivity.
A total of 364 iodine cartridges were analyzed for iodine-131.
Iodine-131 was detected at control station 5F1 in San Luis Obispo (10 miles from DCPP) during the weeks of 3-17-10 and 3-24-10 in concentrations from 1.5E-2 pCi/m3 to 3.3E-2 pCi/m3. At this same time period, no other REMP air sample station detected 1-131. An evaluation was conducted by DCPP and the California Dept of Public Health was notified of the abnormal event. DCPP could not identify the source of 1-131 but concluded the most likely source was due to medical isotopes.No Iodine-131 was detected in any of the remaining station iodine cartridges during 2010.S 4.4.3 Drinking Water, Ocean Surface Water, and Groundwater Drinking Water Drinking water samples were collected from stations DWI, 5S2, WN2, 1A2, and OEL (control location).
The samples were analyzed for gamma emitters, gross beta, tritium, Total Strontium, Iron-55, and Nickle-63.
Of all other samples collected during the monitoring period, no plant related radionuclides were detected in any of the samples.Ocean Surface Water l Ocean surface water samples were collected monthly from stations OUT, DCM, and at 7C2 (control location).
The samples were analyzed for gamma emitters, gross beta, tritium, Total Strontium, Iron-55, and Nickle-63.
No plant related radionuclides were detected in any of the samples.The results of the water samples collected from both the indicator and control stations are summarized in Appendix A.Groundwater As part of the nuclear industry NEI 07-07 Groundwater Protection Initiative (GPI), DCPP began sampling various water sources in 2006. These sources included onsite monitoring wells (OW 1, OW2, DYI, & 8S3), an aquifer well (WW2), a creek (5S2 & WN2), and a water spring (1A2).S Two groundwater aquifer wells are available within the plant site boundary; Water Well 01 and Water Well 02. These wells are located about 115' above and to the east of the power block.S S S o S 0 0 0 0* Water Well 01 is abandoned and the well pump is inoperable.
Water Well 02 was sampled and only naturally occurring isotopes were detected.One shallow (approximately 70 feet deep) subsurface monitoring well is located Southeast at* approximately
0.3 miles
from the power block. This monitoring well is labeled DCS96-1 (8S3).One tritium result indicated 325 pCi/Liter in November which is consistent with rain washout concentrations.
The minimum detectable concentration for that sample was 208 pCi/Liter, so it* was slightly above the detection limit. No other tritium or plant related isotopes were found in the 8S3 monitoring well during 2010.Stations 5S2, WN2, and 1A2 are discussed in the previous Drinking Water paragraph of Section* 4.4.3.Three shallow (approximately 37 to 73 feet deep) subsurface monitoring wells are located within the plant protected area and in close proximity to the containment structures, spent fuel pools, and auxiliary building (plant power block). These monitoring wells are labeled Observation Well 01* (OW 1), Observation Well 02 (OW2), and Drywell 115 (DY1). Due to rainwater washout of gaseous tritium exiting the plant vent system (approved discharge path), these monitoring wells contained low levels of tritium throughout 2010. All three of these monitoring wells were below 0 the maximum concentration level (MCL) established by the U.S. Environmental Protection
- Agency (EPA) for tritium (20,000 picocuries per liter). Further reporting of these monitoring wells is provided in Section 5.2 of this report.4.4.4 Ingestion Marine Biological Samples Fish samples were collected quarterly from stations DCM, 7C2 (control), PON, POS, and a local 0 market (7D3 or 2F1). Mussels were collected quarterly from stations DCM, 7C2, and POS. Mussels were collected annually from station PON. A summary of these samples (required and* supplemental) is described in Table 2.1. A summary of sample results is provided in Appendix A.Marine fish and mussel samples did not detect any DCPP related radionuclides during 2010.0 Marine Aquatic Vegetation Supplemental marine aquatic kelp sampling was performed quarterly at REMP sample stations* DCM, PON, POS, and 7C2 (control).

Each sample was analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides.
Total Strontium, Iron-55, and Nickle-63.
Only naturally occurring isotopes where detected in the ocean sediment and recreational beach sand samples collected for 2010.4.4.5 Food Crops (Vegetation)
Samples of broad leaf vegetation were collected monthly (when available) from two indicator stations (7C1 and 7G1), and one control location (51F2). Samples were collected quarterly from a residence garden at station 6C 1. Samples were collected during the fourth quarter of 2010 from a garden at station 3C1. The samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides and for Iodine- 131 on edible portions.The results for these samples did not detect any DCPP related radionuclides.
A summary of the sample results are provided in Appendix A.4.4.6 Milk There are no milking animals in the vicinity of the plant. In cases where milk sampling is not available, the REMP program permits the collection of broad leaf vegetation from three sample locations in place of milk. Since broadleaf sampling is also not available in the DCPP environs, the DCPP REMP requires additional air sampling at stations 8S2 and IS I.Supplemental samples of milk were collected monthly from Cal Poly Farm (station 5F2). The samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides, Iodine- 131, and Total Strontium.
Milk samples were collected monthly from station 5F2 regardless of the availability of milk stations within 5 miles of the plant.The results of the milk sampling did not detect any DCPP related radionuclides.
A summary of the sample results are provided in Appendix A.4.4.7 Meat Products 5 Meat products are collected quarterly (when available and provided) from landowners.
Samples of livestock meat were collected from the Blanchard Ranch in 2010. These samples were Blanchard cow meat (BCM), Blanchard sheep meat (BSM), and Blanchard goat meat (BGM).No wild deer or wild pig meat samples were supplied by landowners in 2010.A summary of the sample results are provided in Appendix A.Only naturally occurring Potassium-40 was detected in these samples, no DCPP related radionuclides were detected.S S S S S S 0 0 0 0 0 5.0 GROUND WATER MONITORING Diablo Canyon is committed to improving management of situations involving inadvertent radiological releases that get into onsite groundwater that is or may be used as a source of drinking water.This commitment reflects the nuclear industry's high standard of public radiation safety and protection of the environment.

Concentrations of tritium were detected in three monitoring wells beneath the DCPP power block. This tritium is coming from the rain-washout of gaseous tritium exiting the plant vent system via an approved discharge route. It should be noted that hydro geological studies of the DCPP site indicate that any groundwater (subsurface) flow beneath DCPP would flow toward the Pacific Ocean.The specific ranges of tritium detected in these monitoring well samples for 2010 are as follows: Observation Well 01 ( 1,280 -2,120 pCi/L ) of 5 samples collected for tritium analysis.Observation Well 02 ( 1,140 -1,540 pCi/L ) of 5 samples collected for tritium analysis.Drywell 115 ( 5,740 -7,670 pCi/L ) of 5 samples collected for tritium analysis.No other DCPP related isotopes were detected.0 Monitoring Well 8S3 was sampled 4 times in 2010. One of the samples indicated 325 pCi/L of tritium which was slightly above the MDC of 208 pCi/L. This concentration of tritium is consistent with rain washout concentrations.
The other three 8S3 tritium samples were < MDC. No other DCPP related isotopes were detected.All other samples of groundwater at WW2 and WN2 did not indicate the presence of tritium or any other DCPP related isotopes (only naturally occurring radionuclides were observed).

Samples are received on a 0t quarterly basis. GEL's Third-Party Cross-Check Program provides environmental matrices encountered in a typical nuclear utility REMP. The Third-Party Cross-Check Program is intended to meet or exceed the inter-laboratory comparison program requirements discussed in NRC Regulatory Guide 4.15, revision 1. Once performance evaluation samples have been prepared in accordance with the instructions provided by the PT provider, samples are managed and analyzed in the same manner as environmental samples from GEL's clients.S3. Quality Assurance Program for Internal and External Audits 0During each annual reporting period, at least one internal assessment is conducted in accordance with the pre-established schedule from Standard Operating Procedure for the Conduct of Quality Audits, GL-QS-EO01.
The annual internal audit plan is reviewed for adequacy and includes the scheduled frequency and scope of quality control actions necessary to GEL's QA program. Internal audits are conducted at least annually in accordance with a schedule approved by the Quality Systems Director.
Supplier audits are contingent upon the categorization of the supplier, and may or may not be conducted prior to the use of a supplier or subcontractor.
Type I suppliers and subcontractors, regardless of how they were initially qualified, are re-evaluated at least once every three years.0 In addition, prospective customers audit GEL during pre-contract audits. GEL hosts several S external audits each year for both our clients 'and other programs.
These programs include environmental monitoring, waste characterization, and radiobioassay.
The following list of programs may audit GEL at least annually or up to every three years depending on the 0program.0 NELAC, National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program 0

Four findings, one observation, and two recommendations resulted from this assessment.
Each finding was closed and appropriate laboratory staff addressed each observation and recommendation.
The internal audit closed in June 2010.4. Performance Evaluation Acceptance Criteria for Environmental Sample Analysis GEL utilized an acceptance protocol based upon two performance models. For those inter-laboratory programs that already have established performance criteria for bias (i.e., MAPEP, and ERA/ELAP), GEL will utilize the criteria for the specific program. For intra-laboratory or third party quality control programs that do not have a specific acceptance criteria (i.e. the Eckert-Ziegler Analytics Environmental Cross-check Program), results will be evaluated in accordance with GEL's internal acceptance criteria.0 5. Performance Evaluation Samples Performance Evaluation (PE) results and internal quality control sample results are evaluated in accordance with GEL acceptance criteria.
The first criterion concerns bias, which is defined as the deviation of any one result from the known value. The second criterion concerns precision, which deals with the ability of the measurement to be replicated by comparison of an individual result with the mean of all results for a given sample set.At GEL, we also evaluate our analytical performance on a regular basis through statistical process control acceptance criteria.
Where feasible, this criterion is applied to both measures of precision and accuracy and is specific to sample matrix. We establish environmental process control limits at least annually.For Radiochemistry analysis, quality control evaluation is based on static limits rather than those that are statistically derived. Our current process control limits are maintained in GEL's AlphaLIMS.
We also measure precision with matrix duplicates and/or matrix spike duplicates.
The upper and lower control limits (UCL and LCL respectively) for precision are plus or minus three times the standard deviation from the mean of a series of relative percent differences.
The static precision criteria for radiochemical analyses are 0 -20%, for activity levels exceeding the contract required detection limit (CRDL).6. Quality Control Program for Environmental Sample Analysis GEL's internal QA Program is designed to include QC functions such as instrumentation calibration checks (to insure proper instrument response), blank samples, instrumentation backgrounds, duplicates, as well as overall staff qualification analyses and statistical process controls.
Both quality control and qualification analyses samples are used to be as similar as the matrix type of those samples submitted for analysis by the various laboratory clients.

The UCLs and LCLs for accuracy are plus or 0minus three times the standard deviation from the mean of a series of recoveries.
The static*limit for radiochemical analyses is 75 -125%. Specific instructions for out-of-control situations are provided in the applicable analytical SOP.GEL's Laboratory Control Standard (LCS) is an aliquot of reagent water or other blank matrix to which known quantities of the method analytes are added in the laboratory.
The*LCS is analyzed exactly like a sample, and its purpose is to determine whether the methodology is in control, and whether the laboratory is capable of making accurate and precise measurements.
Some methods may refer to these samples as Laboratory Fortified*I Blanks (LFB). The requirement for recovery is between 75 and 125% for radiological analyses excluding drinking water matrix.*Bias (%) = (observed concentration)
- 100 %(known concentration)
Precision is a data quality indicator of the agreement between measurements of the same property, obtained under similar conditions, and how well they conform to themselves.
Precision is usually expressed as standard deviation, variance or range in either absolute or relative (percentage) terms.*GEL's laboratory duplicate (DUP or LCSD) is an aliquot of a sample taken from the same container and processed in the same manner under identical laboratory conditions.
The aliquot is analyzed independently from the parent sample and the results are compared to measure precision and accuracy.*If a sample duplicate is analyzed, it will be reported as Relative Percent Difference (RPD).The RPD must be 20 percent or less, if both samples are greater than 5 times the MDC. If both results are less than 5 times MDC, then the RPD must be equal to or less than 100%.*If one result is above the MDC and the other is below the MDC, then the RPD can be calculated using the MDC for the result of the one below the MDC. The RPD must be 100%or less. In the situation where both results are above the MDC but one result is greater than 5 times the MDC and the other is less than 5 times the MDC, the RPD must be less than or equal to 20%. If both results are below MDC, then the limits on % RPD are not*applicable.

A summary of GEL's quality control for radiological analyses by isotopic analysis and matrix are represented in Table 8. Each LCS and DUP represents a batch of samples for each isotopic analysis.
This summary contains ' 0 the number of reportable quality control results for our clients.8. Summary of Participation in the Eckert & Ziegler Analytics Environmental Cross-Check Program During 2010, Eckert & Ziegler Analytics provided samples for 106 individual environmental analyses.
Of the 106 analyses, 99% (105 out of 106) of all results fell within the PT provider's acceptance criteria.
The only analytical failure occurred with the analysis of Iron-59 in milk. For the corrective action associated with the Iron-59 failure, refer to CARR1 10209-542 (Table 9).9. Summary of Participation in the MAPEP Monitoring Program During 2010, one set of MAPEP samples (MAPEP 22) was analyzed by the laboratory.
Of the 66 analyses, 80% (53 out of 66) of all results fell within the PT provider's acceptance criteria.
Thirteen analytical failures occurred:
Plutonium-238 in water, Uranium-235 in filter, Uranium-238 in filter, Uranium-Total in filter, Americium-241 in filter, Cesium-134 in filter, Cesium-137 in filter, Cobalt-60 in filter, Manganese-54 in filter, Plutonium-239/240 in filter, Uranium-244/243 in filter, Uranium-238 in filter, and Uranium-238 in vegetation.
0 For the corrective action associated MAPEP 22, refer to CARR100617-496 (Table 9). The ICP-MS analysis of Uranium-235 and Uranium-238 failure was attributed to the use of the less vigorous digestion method (EPA Method 3050B). After contacting RESL, GEL discovered that they had used a more rigorous total dissolution process. The failure for Plutonium-238 was attributed to a data reviewer's error and lack of attention to detail to the region of interest that was not included in the data result. Approximately 400 additional counts should have been included.
For the remaining isotopic failures, the error was attributed to analyst error and failure to follow the instructions from the PT provider.10. Summary of Participation in the ERA MRaD PT Program During 2010, the ERA MRad program provided samples (MRAD-12 and MRAD-13) for 175 individual environmental analyses.
Of the 175 analyses, 96% (169 out of 176) of all results fell within the PT provider's acceptance criteria.
Six analytical failures occurred:

- Laboratories LLC 0 P.O. Box 30712, Charleston, SC 29417 2010 ANNUAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT Page 11 of 51 01 For the corrective actions associated with MRAD 12 and MRAD-13, refer to corrective actions CARR100617-497 and CARR101210-527, respectively (Table 9). For MRAD-12, the ICP-MS analysis of Uranium-235 and Uranium-238 failure was attributed to the use of* the less vigorous digestion method (EPA Method 30508). After contacting RESL, GEL discovered that they had used a more rigorous total dissolution process. For Uranium-238 in vegetation, air and water, the failure was attributed to method sensitivity by gamma 0spectroscopy.
Future PT analysis will be performed using a more sensitive method.*1 For MRAD-13, the failure for Bismuth-212 was attributed to a reporting error. The actual*result (1660 pCi/kg) was within the acceptance range. The failure of Iron-55 was attributed to matrix interference.
An additional recount with a smaller aliquot and fresh reagent rinses 0removed the interferant.
0 11. Summary of Participation in the ERA PT Program 0 During 2010, the ERA program provided samples (RAD-80 and RAD-82) for 53 individual
- environmental analyses.
Of the 53 analyses, 77% (41 out of 53) of all results fell within the PT provider's acceptance criteria.
Twelve analytical failures occurred:
Strontium-89 in water, Strontium-90 in water, Barium-133 in water, Cesium-134 in water, Cesium-137 in 0! water, Cobalt-60 in water, Zinc-65 in water, Uranium (Natural) in water, Uranium (Nat) Mass in water, Strontium-90 in water, Cesium-1 34 in water, and Zinc-65 in water: 0For the corrective actions associated with RAD-80 and RAD-82, refer to corrective actions CARR100318-487 and CARR100907-512, respectively (Table 9). For RAD-80, the Gross Alpha failure was attributed to a concentrated iron carrier. The Strontium-89 and Strontium-
- 90 failures were attributed to the associated weights of the carriers utilized during the preparation and analysis.For RAD-82, failures of the Gamma Emitters and the Naturals (Uranium) were attributed to analyst error and failure to follow the instructions from the PT provider.
The failure of*Strontium-89 and Strontium-90 was attributed to analyst error while diluting the sample.12. Summary of Participation in the New York ELAP PT Program 0 During 2010, the NYSDOH ELAP PT program provided 30 individual tests for radiological
- analysis.
Of the 30 analyses, 83% (25 out of 30) of the results were within the PT provider's acceptance criteria.
Five analytical failures occurred:
Cesium-134 in water, Iodine-131 in water (two), Strontium-89 in water, and Radium-226 in water.For the corrective actions associated with NY-337, refer to corrective action CARRI 01203-525 (Table 9). For Cesium-134, Iodine-1 31, Strontium-89 and Strontium-90, and Radium-226, the failures could not be determined.
The laboratory continues to monitor results of internal quality control samples.*I In addition, GEL (Lab ID# E87156, Lab Code# SC00012) maintained primary NELAP accreditation from the Florida Department of Health for the following methods in potable 0water and non-potable water.

Of the 959 internal quality control analyses evaluated for bias, 100% met laboratory 0 acceptance criteria.
In addition, 100% of the 1591 results for precision were found to be acceptable.
The results are summarized in Table 8.0 GEL performs low-level analysis specifically for Tritium in water. A chart of low activity H-3 spike performance is provided in Figure 8. All 2010 analyses were within the acceptance criteria.14. Corrective Action Request and Report (CARR)There are two categories of corrective action at GEL. One is corrective action implemented at the analytical and data review level in accordance with the analytical SOP. The other is 5 formal corrective action documented by the Quality Systems Team in accordance with GL-QS-E-002.
A formal corrective action is initiated when a nonconformance reoccurs or is so significant that permanent elimination or prevention of the problem is required.GEL includes quality requirements in most analytical standard operating procedures to ensure that data are reported only if the quality control criteria are met or the quality control measures that did not meet the acceptance criteria are documented.
A formal corrective action is implemented according to GL-QS-E-002 for Conducting Corrective/Preventive Action and Identifying Opportunities for Improvement.
Recording and documentation is performed following guidelines stated in GL-QS-E-012 for Client NCR Database Operation.
Any employee at GEL can identify and report a nonconformance and request that corrective action be taken. Any GEL employee can participate on a corrective action team as requested by the QS team or Group Leaders. The steps for conducting corrective action are detailed in GL-QS-E-002.
In the event that correctness or validity of the laboratory's test results in doubt, the laboratory will take corrective action. If investigations show that the 0 results have been impacted, affected clients will be informed of the issue in writing within five (5) calendar days of the discovery.

SUMMARY
GEL CORRECTIVE STATUS: ACTION IDENTIFICATION OPEN/ ISSUE Cause and Disposition CLOSED CARR1 10209-542 OPEN Eckert & Ziegler Analytics Monitoring in progress Fe-59 Failure in Milk CARR100617-496 CLOSED MAPEP Series 22 PT The ICP-MS analysis of Uranium-235 Failures and Uranium-238 failure was attributed to the use of the less vigorous digestion method (EPA Method 3050B). After contacting RESL, GEL discovered that they had used a more rigorous total dissolution process.The failure for Plutonium-238 was attributed to a data reviewer's error and lack of attention to detail to the region of interest that was not included in the data result. Approximately 400 additional counts should have been included.
All analysts have been retrained on attention to detail of the ROI.For the remaining isotopic failures, the error was attributed to analyst error and failure to follow the instructions from the PT provider.CARR100617-497 CLOSED MRAD 12 PT Failures The ICP-MS analysis of Uranium-235 and Uranium-238 failure was attributed to the use of the less vigoroug digestion method (EPA Method 3050B). After contacting RESL, GEL discovered that they had used a more rigorous total dissolution process.For Uranium-238 in vegetation, air and water, the failure was attributed to method sensitivity by gamma spectroscopy.
Future PT analysis will be performed using a more sensitive method.CARR101210-527 CLOSED MRAD 13 PT Failures The failure for Bismuth-212 was attributed to a reporting error. The actual result (1660 pCi/kg) was within the acceptance range. The failure of Iron-55 was attributed to matrix interference.
An additional recount with a smaller aliquot and fresh reagent rinses removed the interferant.

0 0 0* 8.0 DCPP 2010 ANNUAL LAND USE CENSUS Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP)*personnel conducted a land use census in the vicinity of DCPP for 2010. The land use census is based on*Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Guide 4.8, "Environmental Technical Specifications
- 1 for Nuclear Power Plants" and 10 CFR 50 Appendix I section IV. B. 3.DCPP Program Directive CY2, "Radiological Monitoring and Controls Program" requires performance 0of a land use census.*DCPP IDAP RP 1 .ID 11, "Environmental Radiological Monitoring Procedure", requires identification of the nearest milk animal, nearest residence, and the nearest broadleaf producing garden greater than 50 square meters (500 square feet) in each of the landward meteorological sectors within a 0distance of 8 kilometers (5 miles) of the plant. The land use census is conducted at least once per year*during the growing season (between Feb 15 and Dec 1) for the Diablo Canyon environs.0The 2010 Land Use Census was conducted via a helicopter over-flight and landowner telephone 0interviews.
The helicopter over-flight was conducted on March 12th, 2010. The telephone interviews were conducted October I1 h through November 30th, 2010. Twelve individual landowners or tenants were contacted.
- Milk: No milk animals were identified within the first 8 kilometers (5 miles) of any sector.0Residences:
The nearest residence, relative to all sectors, is a small trailer located in the NW sector about 1.93*kilometers (1.2 miles) from the plant. Ranch workers occupy this BLANCHARD residence approximately 1 month per year during cattle round-ups.
A total of 17 residences were identified within the 8-kilometer (5-mile) radius of the plant, which 0were confirmed or appear to be occupied during 2010. Two abandoned structures are located in each of the NNW and NNE sectors.A new structure (with miscellaneous equipment) was located during the over-flight at GPS coordinates N35* 13.203, W120* 46.414. This structure is abandoned (non habitable).
The nearest residence in each sector is summarized in Table 1.0 Gardens: The land use census identified two household gardens greater than 50 square meters (500 square*feet) that produce broadleaf vegetation.
The READ garden (REMP 3C 1) is approximately 1/4 acre and*located in the NNE sector at 7.08 kilometers (4.41 miles). The KOONZE garden (REMP 6C1) is approximately 500 square feet and located in the E sector at 7.24 kilometers (4.5 miles). Sampling of the READ garden (REMP 3C 1) began during fourth quarter 2010 (4Q10).MELLO manages a farm in the ESE sector along the site access road coastal plateau. The farm starts at approximately 4.8 km and extends to 7.2 km (3 to 4.5 miles) from the plant. This commercial farm produces no broadleaf vegetation.
The farm area is about 100 acres of land with one planting per year. Commercial crops consist of about 100% cereal grass (oat hay). Less than 10 farm workers*periodically occupy this area during the growing season.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Additional Land Use: Much of the area outside the plant site-boundary is used for rotational cattle grazing by five separate cattle operations.
For purposes of this census, the five cattle ranches are called BLANCHARD, SINSHEIMER, READ, ANDRE, and MELLO.BLANCHARD has about 120 cattle outside the plant site-boundary and utilizes the NW, NNW, N, and NNE sectors. About 80 yearling cattle were sold to mass market in 2010. BLANCHARD slaughtered two cattle in 2010 for personal consumption.
Additionally, BLANCHARD managed about 200 goats that were used for weed abatement in all landward sectors within the plant site-boundary.
During 2010, approximately 100 baby goats were born and then taken to Santa Margarita California where they are grass fed for 1 year. After one year, the 100 yearling goats are then to be sold to mass-market.
BLANCHARD slaughtered one goat in 2010 for personal consumption.
BLANCHARD also managed about 100 sheep outside the plant site-boundary in the NW and NNW sectors. These sheep were allowed to breed and the yearlings were sold to mass market.BLANCHARD slaughtered one sheep in 2010 for personal consumption.
BLANCHARD meats were sampled by REMP personnel.
SINSHEIMER has about 100 cattle outside the plant site-boundary in the NNE sector. These cattle were allowed to breed and about 90 calves were sold to mass market in 2010. SINSHEIMER did not slaughter any cattle for personal consumption in 2010.READ has about 120 cattle and 160 calves outside the plant site-boundary in the NNE sector. No cattle were sold to mass market in 2010. READ did not slaughter any cattle for personal consumption in 2010.ANDRE has about 80 cattle outside the plant site-boundary in the ENE sector. About 80 calves were sold to mass market in 2010. ANDRE did not slaughter any cattle in 2010 for personal consumption.
0 MELLO manages about 800 cattle outside the plant site-boundary in the E, ESE, and SE sectors.Harris Ranch Beef Corporation owned these cattle and sold all of them to mass market in 2010. MELLO did not slaughter any cattle in 2010 for personal consumption.
0 Two landowners (JOHE and ANDRE) take wild game for personal consumption outside the plant site-boundary in the NNE, NE, and ENE sectors. This wild game consists of approximately 2 deer and 4 wild pigs per landowner.
0 There is a California State Park Ranger Office in the NNW sector at 7.483 kilometers (4.65 miles) from the plant. Approximately 3 people occupy this office from 1000 to 1500 each day per week.0 There is a public campground (Islay Creek Campground) located in the NNW sector at Montana de Oro State Park at 7.387 kilometers (4.59 miles). This campground is near Spooner's Cove.Approximately 713,000 people visited Montana de Oro State Park via day use permit.Approximately 22,000 people spent the night at Islay Creek Campground.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 S* There is public access to hiking trails at the north and south ends of the plant property.The Point Buchon Trail is located at the north end of PG&E property and has about 20,000 visitors annually.
It traverses about 3.5 miles of coastline from Coon Creek to Crowbar Canyon. The trail*is open for day hikes Thursday thru Monday from approximately 0800-1600.
Two to three people from California Land Management occupy the trail head booth during operating hours. This trail was opened to the public on July 13, 2007.0The Pecho Coast Trail is located at the south end of PG&E property and has about 2,500 visitors annually.
The trail is approximately
3.7 miles
long and leads to the Point San Luis Lighthouse near Avila Beach. Access is controlled (by permission only) and conducted by docents. This trail is just slightly outside the 5 mile radius of the plant. Pecho Coast Trail hikes are only available on Wednesdays (about* 20 people) and Saturdays (about 40 people). 30-40 Lighthouse keepers occupy the Lighthouse grounds*on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 0800-1600.
The Lighthouse property is owned by the Harbor District.S 5Groundwater Impacts: No Groundwater impacts to report in 2010.Monitoring Well 8S3 was added to the REMP in 2010 for the Groundwater Protection Initiative
