Firs tEnegy P.O. Box 4, Route 168 ShippingportM PA 15077 November 26, 2002 DMR Clerk Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Water Quality Management 400 Waterfront Drive Pittsburgh, PA 15222 NPDES Permit PA0025615, Notice of Non-Compliance Outfall 211
Dear Sir or Madam:
During the month of October, Outfall 211 (Oil/Water Separator 23) exceeded the monthly maximum pH effluent limit of 9.0 and the daily maximum Oil and Grease effluent limit of 20.0 mg/L. The pH was determined to be 10.16 S.U. and the Oil and Grease determined to be 22.0 mg/L on October 14, 2002.
The oil/water separator receives water from the Unit 2 turbine building and equipment drains. During a cold weather verification test on October 13, 2002, water from a manhole collecting rainwater and groundwater was pumped to the oil/water separator.
The water had a high pH caused by the rainwater passing through gravel containing calcium carbonate. The manhole also contained oil collected in the manhole from a nearby transformer.
Upon discovery of the problem, the pumping was terminated. Corrective action including addition of sodium bicarbonate to the inlet of the oil/water separator was initiated to bring the pH back to within permit effluent limits. Samples collected on October 24, 2002 were all within NPDES permit effluent limits.
Attn: DMR Clerk Page 2 Beaver Valley has initiated corrective actions to prevent future occurrences. All water movement outside of its normal intended flowpath will be sampled and reviewed by chemistry staff prior to discharge. If you have any questions, contact me at 724 682 5113.
Sincerely, DJS C:
