River Bend Station 5485 U. S. Highway 61 St. Francisville, LA 70775 RE:
Minor modification of Louisiana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (LPDES) permit LA004273 1 issued to Entergy Operations, Inc.'s River Bend Station, located at 5485 U. S. Highway 61 in St.
Francisville, West Feliciana Parish.
Dear Mr. Spell:
Final LPDES permit LA0042731 for Entergy Operations, Inc.'s River Bend Station was effective on October 1, 2011. However, the permit contained errors in the monitoring and reporting requirements language for several of the pollutant parameters at Outfalls 201 and 003. The following modifications have been made to correct the errors:
I.
Outfall 201 - Two new footnotes have been added to clarify the proper monitoring frequency and Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) reporting requirements for TSS, as it relates to maintenance activities. If maintenance activity discharges occur during the quarter, quarterly total suspended solids (TSS) sampling is not required. TSS must be sampled weekly and the results reported on the 201A DMR. A notation shall be made on the 201Q DMR stating the dates maintenance activities occurred and on which month's DMR TSS results were reported.
Changes were made to Part I, Pages 5 and 6 of 17 of the permit. See footnotes 5 and 6.
- 2.
Outfall 003 - Two new footnotes have been added to clarify the proper monitoring frequency and DMR reporting requirements for Flow, Oil & Grease, and pH, as related to low volume wastewater discharges. If low volume wastewater discharges occur during the quarter, quarterly monitoring for Flow, Oil & Grease, and pH is not required. Flow, Oil & Grease, and pH must be monitored monthly and the results reported on the 003A DMR. A notation shall be made on the 003Q DMR stating the dates low volume wastewater discharges occurred and on which month's DMR Flow, Oil & Grease, and pH results were reported. Changes were made to Part 1, Pages 12 and 12A of 17 of the permit. Please note that the footnotes for Outfall 003 were renumbered to accommodate these changes. See footnotes 2 and 3 for changes to the monitoring and reporting requirements.

RE: LA0042731 AI No. 2889 Page 2 Attached are the modified Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements pages reflecting the above changes and a modified title page. Please replace the appropriate pages in LPDES permit LA0042731 with these revisions. All other conditions of the permit shall continue unchanged and remain valid until the expiration date of the permit.
The permit modification fee has been waived because this is an Agency initiated minor modification of LPDES permit LA004273 1.
Monitoring results should be reported on a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) form per the schedule specified. A copy of the form to be used is attached for your convenience.
Should you have any questions concerning any part of the permit modification, please contact Lisa Kemp of the Office of Environmental Services at the address on the first page or by telephone at (225) 219-3195 To ensure that all correspondence regarding this facility is properly filed, please reference your Agency Interest number 2889 and LPDES permit number LA0042731 on all future correspondence to this Department.

During the period beginning the effective date of the modification and lasting through the expiration date the permittee is authorized to discharge from:
Internal Outfall 201, the intermittent discharge of treated sanitary wastewater; also, during maintenance activities, sanitary wastewater may be combined with previously monitored hydrostatic test wastewater, wastewater from floor drains of the control building and the diesel generator oil/water separator (and other low volume wastewaters as defined in 40 CFR 423), and maintenance wastewaters and may be routed to Outfall 002 (*4).
Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the permittee as specified below:
