nt to be used in compacting foundation and embankment materials. 4. The quality control and testing program to provide a high level of assurance that: a. The selected borrow material is as good and as relatively homogeneous as anticipated from the investigation program. b. The compacted foundation soil meets design specifications. 5. The techniques for improving the stability of natural slopes such as drainage, grouting, rock bolting, and applying gunite. 6. The plans for monitoring during and after construction to detect occurrences that could detrimentally affect the facility. Such monitoring includes periodic examination of slopes, survey of settlement monuments, and measurements of local wells and piezometers. 2.5.5-13 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 For standard design certification reviews under 10 CFR Part 52, the procedures above should be followed, as modified by the procedures in SRP Section 14.3 (proposed), to verify that the design set forth in the standard safety analysis report, including inspections, tests, analysis, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), site interface requirements and combined license action items, meet the acceptance criteria given in subsection II. SRP Section 14.3 (proposed) contains procedures for the review of certified design material (CDM) for the standard design, including the site parameters, interface criteria, and ITAAC.43 IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Upon completion of the staff's review of the geotechnical engineering aspects of the material presented by the applicant related to the stability of all earth and rock slopes, both natural and manmade, an evaluation of completeness, accuracy and adequacy is made. If the evaluation confirms that the applicant has met the requirements and regulatory positions of References 1 through 11, the conclusion in the SER states that the investigations performed for slope stability studies and dam and dike analyses are adequate to justify the soil and rock characteristics used in the design, and that
