Dear Mr. Sawyko:

Enclosed is the modified and renewed State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES).p.enit issii7dfTo-tr e ioperaToi oT-the subject facility. Please replica the old-permit with -this new permit inits entirety. Please note the effective and expiration daas..,,

This permit modification includes revised effluent discharge limits for Boron frobi 40 to 140 poinds per day, a new entrainment study, and the addition of the reverse osmosis water treatment system including the addition of ETA to the secondary system.

Please review the enclosed modified permit. Please note that under 6 NYCRR Part 621.7() of the Uniform Procedures Act, if a permit for a project is denied, or is. issued with significant conditions attached and an adjudicatory pubic hearing was not held, then iii appiicant may request that one be held. Such a.

request must be made within 30 calender days of the date of the mailing of either the notice.of denial or the permit with conditions.

If any questions arise or if problems develop with the facility during the life of this permitplease contact David Persson with the Division of Water at this office at 585-226-545 1.

6 of 13 DEFINITIONS OF DAILY AVERAGE AND DAILY MAXIMUM The daily average discharge is the total discharge by weight or in other appropriate units as specified herein, during a calendar month divided by the number of days in the month that the production or commercial facility was operating. Where less than daily sampling is required by this permit, the daily average discharge shall be determined by the summation of all the measured daily discharges in appropriate units as specified herein divided by the number of days during the calendar month when measurements Were made.

The daily maximum discharge means the total discharge by weight or in other appropriate units -as specified herein, during any calendar day.

MONITORING LOCATIONS The permittee shall take samples and measurements, to compl) with the monitoring requirements specified in this permit, at the location(s) indicated below: (Show sdmpling locaton.s and outfalls with sketch or flow diagram as appropriate) (see page 7 of 13)

/The permittee shall: submit written. notification,

_which shall

.include detailed descriptions.and appropriate f~igures, to the DEC

.Chief, Bureau of Environmental Protection, Regional. Fisheries Manager and Regional Engineer.at least 60 days in, advanc~eof any change which results in the alteration of the location, design, construction, operations or capacity of the cooling water intake structure.

The permittee shall

3.

Impingement Monitoring Program.

a.

An annual impingement monitoring program-is reqired in'order to document the impact of thia facility on the aquatic environment of Lake-Ontario.

The methodologies described in Ginna Nuclear-.Power Station Imoinoement Plan of Study, RG&E jReport.. NO.-- B-13-293: (July 1985) are -required with the ol1!w~ingmnodificationi:

i i.

The.wire-& mesh collection -basket that fits into the screenwash sluicdway shall be constructed of mesh that is approximately 1/2 of the bar mesh of the traveling screens in order to minimize loss of organisms washed off the traveling screens.

SPDESNo.: NY-000 0493 Part 1, Page.9__9 of 13

b.

At the permittee's option a modified impingement abundance program may be submitted for DEC review and approval.

The goal of the modified program would be to reduce the cost of impingement monitoring while continuing to provide adequate

information-for -the department's determination to 6NYCRR 704 and the Clean Water Act Section. 316.

The impingement program

.identified -in 3.a above-shall continue-in effect until an S*-

alternative'is approved-by the DEC.*

4.

In this

ýregard, the Department has approved the permittee's request for alternative effluent limitations pursuant to-: Section 316 (a) of the Clean Water Act for the 5 year life of the permit-.` The effluent limitations in'--this permit-reflect -this-.appkrova2.-.-The water temperature at the surface of Lake Ontario shall-not -be raised more than three Fahrenheit degrees over the temperature that-ekisted before the addition of heat of artificial origin except that in a mixing zone consisting of -an arei 'of 32_0__'acres from-the point of "discharge, this temperatUre7-may be exceeded;.
