NOTICE OF UPSET NPDES PERMIT TN0020168 WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT February 16, 2003 Outfall 111: Treated Sanitary Wastewater According to the criteria found in NPDES permit No. TNO020168 Part II C 4, an upset occurred at the Sewage Treatment Plant on February 16, 2003 due to heavy rain and flooding conditions. According to operator logs, rain totaled approximately 7 inches over the February 14th weekend and flooding conditions occurred at Plants A & B but no "washout" occurred. The heavy rains also caused flooding conditions for the Construction Runoff Holding Pond, OSN 112. Flood waters backed up into the Sewage Treatment Plant effluent box. During the time of the upset, the facility was operated in a prudent and workman-like manner and was in compliance with proper operation and maintenance procedures. Conversations with the licensed operator indicate that this was beyond the reasonable control of WBN and no actions could have been taken to stop the flooding of the effluent box.

The upset lead directly to a high Total Suspended Solids (TSS) concentration for the sample collected on February 19, 2003 at 09:50 a.m. Sample results reiealed a Total Suspended Solids (TSS) concentration of 66 mg/L. The daily maximum permit limitation is 45 mg/L. Another sample was collected on February 25 at 07:20. The result of that analysis showed TSS was back within permit limits with a result of 3.9 mg/L. All other discharge and operating parameters during that time frame were well within permit limitations. This was an isolated event due to the heavy flooding conditions at WBN and not caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.

A phone call was made to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Chattanooga Field Office about the high TSS value and plant conditions the working day after WBN became aware the plant upset. A follow up letter was mailed within 5 days to the Chattanooga field office.
