Effluent flow - Effluent flow is calculated daily as the sum of the circulating water flow and the service water flow. The circulating water flow for each outfall is calculated as the number of operating hours of the circulating water pumps and the flow rates for each pump. The service water contribution is calculated from the service water pump operating hours times the design flow rate of the service water pumps. The flow rates measured over the course of a calendar day shall be averaged on a daily basis consistent with the definition of daily discharge pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2. These daily discharge points shall be utilized for the purposes of completing discharge monitoring reports as well as for calculation purposes.

ii.

Effluent Temperature - Effluent temperature shall be measured at DS',s 481-486 on a continuous basis. Effluent flow for DSN's 481 - 486 is reported on DMR's as indicated in Part I11. The effluent temperature values measured over the course of a calendar day shall be averaged on a daily basis consistent with the definition of daily discharge pursuant to N.J.A.C.7:14A-1.2. These daily discharge points shall be utilized for the purposes of completing discharge monitoring reports as well as for calculation purposes.

iii. Chlorine Produced Oxidants - Option _L The daily maximum limitation of 0.2 mg/L shall apply when predominantly circulating water system water is being discharged through DSN's 481 486. Option 2: The daily maximum limitation of 0.5 mg/L and the monthly average limitation of 0.3 mg!L shall apply when only service water system non-contact cooling water is discharged through DSN's 481 - 486. Under normal operating conditions (i.e. no outage), the permittee discharges under an Option I scenario.

Intake Temperature - Intake temperature shall be measured at the intake to the main circulating water system for Units I and 2 on a continuous basis. The intake temperatures from Units I and 2 shall be averaged to obtain the intake temperature for FAC A (Unit 1) as well as the intake temperature for FAC B (Unit 2). In the event that one of the temperature monitoring devices is out of service (such as for calibration and maintenance) the other temperature monitoring device will be applied to both units for reporting intake temperature.

ii.

Effluent temperature for FAC A and FAC B shall be calculated and reported as follows:

Effluent Temperature for FAC A = [(Eff. Temp. at DSN 481 x Eff. Flow at DSN 481) + (Eff.

Temp at DSN 482 x Eff. Flow at DSN 482) + (Eff. Temp at DSN 483x Eff. Flow at DSN 483)] /

(Eff. Flow at DSN 481+ Eff. Flow at DSN 482+ Eff. Flow at DSN 483)

Effluent Temperature for FAC B = [(Eff. Temp at DSN 484 x Eff. Flow at DSN 484) + (Eff.

Temp at DSN 485 x Eff. Flow at DSN 485) + (Eff. Temp at DSN 486 x Eff. Flow at DSN 486)]

/ (Eff. Flow at DSN 484+ Eff. Flow at DSN 485+ Eff. Flow at DSN 486).

iii. Differential Temperature - Differential temperature shall be calculated by subtracting the daily intake temperature from the daily effluent temperature where the values for intake temperature and effluent temperature values are explained above. The permittee calculates differential temperature on an hourly basis where the daily differential temperature is an arithmetic average of the values obtained during the course of the day.

Intake Flow - Intake flow for the circulating water system is calcualted as the sum of the twelve individual circulating water system intakes and reported as a monthly average in million gallons per day. The flow of each individual circulating water pump shall be calculated as the product of the number of operating hours for that pump for the reporting period and the flow rate for that pump. The flow rate for each respective pump shall be assessed on an annual basis in accordance with the Tracer Evaluation Requirement included as item G. 1. For the purposes of DMR reporting, the intake flow values measured over the course of a calendar day shall be averaged on a daily basis consistent with the definition of daily discharge pursuant to N.J.A.C.7:14A-1.2.

ii.

Thermal Discharge - Thermal discharge in MBTU/Hr is the total heat released from Unit 1 (FAC A) and Unit 2 (FAC B) where it shall be calculated as follows:

Thermal Discharge FAC C (MBTU/Hr) = [M ICp(Teff-Tint)]Unit 1 - rM2Cp(Teff-Tint )]Unit 2

/ 1,000,000 Where:

MI = Mass flow rate of water from Unit I in lbs/hour (includes circulating water flow as well as service water flow)

M2 = Mass flow rate of water from Unit 2 in lbs/hour (includes circulating water flow as well as service water flow)

Mass flow rate is equal to flow in gal/hour x 8.34 lb/gallon Teff = effluent temperature from Unit (e.g. Unit I)

Tint = intake temperature from Unit Cp is the specific heat capacity of water which is I BTU/lb degrees Fahrenheit.

d. DSN 48C and DSN 489: During periods of maintenance, calibration or failure of the flow meter, flow can be calculated using the operating hours of the discharge pumps times the flow rate of the discharge pumps.
