Dear Sir or Madam:

Attached is the Discharge Monitoring Report for the Hope Creek Generating Station for the month of May 2018. Included also are the results for Semi-annual sampling for DSN-461 A, 461 C and 4628.

This report is required by and prepared specifically for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). It presents only the observed results of measurements and analyses required to be performed by the above agencies*. The choice of the measurement devices and analytical methods are controlled by the EPA and the NJDEP, not by the company, and there are limitations on the accuracy of such measurement devices and analytical techniques even when used and maintained as required. Accordingly, this report is not intended as an assertion that any instrument has measured, or that any reading or analytical result represents the true value with absolute accuracy; _nor is it an endorsement of the suitability of any analytical or measurement procedure.

If you have any questions concerning this report, please feel free to contact Tom Adams at (856) 339-1715.

• The Discharge Monitoring Report for Hope Creek Generating Station is now submitted

• and certified electronically to the NJDEP. This document contains a copy of the Monitoring Report Submittal Forms.

HCH-2018-028 3 NJPDES DMR EXPLANATION OF CONDITIONS May2018 The following explanations are included to clarify possible deviation from permit conditions.

General - The columns labeled "No. Ex" on the enclosed DMR tabulate the number of daily discharge values outside the indicated limits.

Data reporting and accuracy reflect the working environment, the design capabilities and reliability of the monitoring instruments and operating equipment.

Deviations from required sampling, analysis monitoring and reporting methods and periodicities are indicated on the respective transmittal sheet with explanations below.

Results reported on the Discharge Monitoring Report forms are consistent with permit limits, data supplied from contract laboratories, the 2013 revision of the NJDEP Monitoring Report Form Reference Manual, the 2016 revision to the NJPDES Reference Manual for Online Form Submittal and specific guidance from DEP personnel.

River and Cooling Tower Slowdown Total Organic Carbon samples were obtained on a day other than the normal sampling day due to the Cooling Tower Basin being drained for maintenance. Samples were obtained on the Tuesday following the Cooling Tower being placed in service.

Also, Cooling Tower Slowdown flow instrumentation continuous feed was out of service from the time the Cooling Tower was placed in service on 5/13/18 through the end of the month. Flow data was substituted from the flow recorder once per four hours.
