Response to Comments Page 1 of 8 Permit No. NJ0025411 New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Water Quality Bureau of Point Source Permitting - Region 2 RESPONSE TO COMMENTS Comments were received on the draft NJPDES Permit Renewal No. NJ0025411 issued on November 7, 2002. The thirty (30) day public comment period began on November 19, 2002, when the Public Notice was published in the Today's Sunbeam. It was also published in the DEP Bulletin on November 13, 2002. It ended on December 19, 2002. The following person[s] commented during the public comment period:

1.

Gabor Salamon, Manager-Nuclear Safety and Licensing, PSE Nuclear LLC in a letter dated December 24, 2002.

A summary of the timely and significant comments received, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) responses to these comments, and an explanation of any changes from the draft action have been included below:

Comments on Chemical-Specific Conditions forOutfalls DSNs 461A, 461C, and 462B Fact Sheet, Section 5, page 5 of 28 - Station Outfalls and Discharge Components Comment 1: The draft permit states that "[While] the permittee's stormwater discharges are currently K>

regulated under Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan requirements, the Department has determined it appropriate to regulate the stormwater discharges under the General Stormwater Permit NJ00883 15 which will be issued upon finalization of this draft renewal permit.". PSEG Nuclear LLC ("hereafter PSEG") believes it is not appropriate to regulate the stormwater discharges under the General Stormwater Permit concurrent with the stormwater requirements contained in this individual NJPDES permit. The permit application requested continued regulation under the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan requirements and those requirements appear to be continued, though modified, in the Draft permit. PSEG requests the sentence quoted above be deleted.

Response 1: The Department agrees that the inclusion of this sentence was made in error. The permittee is correct in that this subject permit contains individual stormwater requirements as noted throughout the rest of the permit.. This clarification is hereby noted for the Administrative Record.

Fact Sheet, Section 5, page 7 of 28 - Yard Drains (DSN's 463A. 464A, 465A)

Comment 2: The Department has renamed outfall DSN 462A as outfall DSN 465 because the NJEMS database will not accept both DSN 462A and DSN 462B. DSN 462B has been retained because it has a regulatory history where limits and monitoring conditions have been set and data have been collected.

PSEG reminds the Department that DSN 462A also has a regulatory history where limits and monitoring conditions were set and data have been collected for the period October 1985 through March 1997.

Response 2: The Department agrees that DSN 462A has a regulatory history although the Department maintains that it is appropriate to rename DSN 462A as outfall DSN 465 in this subject permit action due

Response to Comments Page 2 of 8 Permit No. NJ00254 I1 to the reason noted above. Therefore, no changes to the final permit have been made as a result of this comment, although the Department notes this information for the Administrative Record.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.B, page 10 of 28 - DSN 461A Comment 3: The Department has changed the frequency for monitoring Chlorine Produced Oxidants (CPO) from three times per week to continuous monitoring. The data collected during the three times per week monitoring conducted by PSEG during the term of the existing permit demonstrates that CPO is not normally present in the discharge as indicated in the Permit Summary Table at page 18 of 28. PSEG believes continuous monitoring is not warranted and periodic grab sampling is more appropriate.

PSEG has responsibly performed an evaluation to determine the CPO concentration when there was a reason to believe unmonitored CPO may have been discharged. In June 2000, a discharge occurred that contained sodium hypochlorite at a time that no effluent monitoring was in progress. PSGEG notified the Department, conducted an internal investigation, and performed calculations to determine the concentration of CPO in the effluent. CPO was determined to be within the limitations of the NJPDES Permit. Although a continuous monitoring device would have precluded the need for PSEG to calculate the effluent CPO concentrations, a continuous monitoring device would not have changed the effluent concentration.

Continuous chlorine analyzers were installed to monitor the cooling tower blowdown (DSN 461A) until 1997, when the Department modified the requirement for CPO monitoring to three times per week. The inherent difficulty of maintaining analyzer operations in this region of the Estuary was demonstrated during this period of continuous monitoring. The two primary methods for continuous chlorine analysis are amerometric and specific-ion electrode. The high suspended solids and silt concentrations present in the Estuary tend to clog instrument flow pats and specific ion electrode membranes. The abrasiveness of the silt also causes excessive wear on moving components such as pumps and valves. These factors limit the effectiveness of continuous chlorine analyzers because of the extensive routine and corrective maintenance.

PSEG requests the continuous monitoring requirement be deleted. If the three times per week current sampling program is inadequate, PSEG recommends modifying the sample frequency to daily (seven days per week).

Response 3: The Department maintains that a continuous sampling frequency is appropriate for DSN 46 1A. This discharge is continuously chlorinated and is of a significant volume. In addition, the Department notes that there was a unanticipated discharge of chlorine produced oxidants in June 2000.

Although the Department agrees that the installation of continuous chlorine monitors may not have prevented this discharge, the presence of continuous chlorine monitors could have better evaluated the amount of chlorine produced oxidants in the discharge in comparison to an evaluation by calculations.

No changes to the permit have been made as a result of this comment.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.B, page 11 of 28 - DSN 461A Comment 4: The last paragraph indicates that effluent limitations for oil and grease have been included at DSN 461A. For clarification, the parameter limited at DSN 461C equivalent to oil and grease is total petroleum hydrocarbons.

Response to Comments Page 3 of 8 Permit No. NJ002541 1 Response 4: The permittee is correct in noting that total petroleum hydrocarbons is limited at DSN 46 1C; therefore, this sentence on page 11 erroneously identifies oil and grease as opposed to total petroleum hydrocarbons. The Department has correctly noted that total petroleum hydrocarbons is limited at DSN 461C as indicated on page 5 of Part III as well as on pages 12 and 19 of the Fact Sheet.

The Department hereby notes this clarification pertaining to page 11 for the Administrative Record.

Because the correct parameter is included on page 5 of Part III, no changes to the final permit are necessary as a result of this comment.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.b., page 13 of 28 - DSN 462B Comment 5: The Department has incorporated a monthly average concentration limit for BOD 5 of 30 mg/L and a weekly limit of 45 mg/L as DSN 462B. PSEG believes these new limitations are not appropriate for this discharge. The reference to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2(b) is not appropriate since DSN 462B discharges to DSN 461A and, therefore, DSN 462B is not a "direct discharge". N.J.A.C. 7:14A 12.2 is only applicable to a direct discharge. Upon completion of the rerouting of the DSN 462B discharge to DSN 461A, this is an internal monitoring point and not a direct discharge (1997 Permit Fact Sheet, page 60 of 86).

The Department indicates these limitations are particularly appropriate where the flow volumes fluctuate over time. The effluent flow from DSN 462B for January 2001 through February 2002 was an average of 0.01 MGD and a maximum of 0.03 MGD, and for the period of April 1997 through March 2001 the effluent flow was an average of 0.02 MGD and a maximum of 0.07 MGD (Permit Summary Table, page 20 of 28). The maximum effluent flow during that five year period was only 25% of the design flow of the sewage treatment plant (0.28MGD) and the range of values does not indicate a highly variable flow that would warrant imposition of additional limitations. The monthly minimum Percent Removal of BOD 5 limitation of 87.5% (more stringent than N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2(b) and the monthly average loading limitation for BOD 5 of 8 kg/day (based on the DRBC allocation) have been adequate since the 1985 NJPDES Permit and new limitations are not warranted at this time.

Response 5: The Department has determined that the intent of N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2(b) is that the limitations contained in this regulation pertain to direct discharges to surface water as opposed to discharges to a municipal utilities authority which then discharge to surface waters. Therefore, the Department does not agree that N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2(b) should be interpreted to mean that these limitations are not appropriate for this internal monitoring point. These secondary treatment limitations set the standard for the level of treatment appropriate for sanitary discharges and the Department maintains that they are appropriate for DSN 461C since it is a sanitary discharge.

The Department also maintains that concentration limits are particularly appropriate for this discharge given the variable flow rates of influent sanitary wastewater. It is the Department's understanding that the amount of personnel present at the plant can widely fluctuate during refueling outages given the fact that the facility makes use of this time to maintain Station operations which result in the presence of additional Station personnel. Therefore, the Department has determined that both concentration and mass limitations are appropriate for this discharge.

The Department recognizes that the permittee typically discharges well below the design flow rate; however, N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2 does not make exception for this circumstance. The Department also recognizes that the mass limit of 8 kg/day for BOD 5 may be more stringent than the concentration limits at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2 given certain flow circumstances; however, the Department has determined that it is required to apply these concentration limits.

Response to Comments Page 4 of 8 Permit No. NJ00254 11 No changes to the permit have been made as a result of this comment.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.b, page 13 of 28 - DSN 462B Comment 6: The Fact Sheet states that there is a weekly average TSS limitations of 45 mg/L at DSN 462B in the current permit and thus this limitation was retained. The weekly average TSS limitation was deleted from DSN 462B upon rerouting DSN 462B to discharge to DSN 461A (see 1997 NJPDES Permit, Part III-B/C, Section 1.C.2). The Fact sheet for the 1997 NJPDES Permit states that "the seven day average limitation of 45 mg/L will be deleted since this will be an internal monitoring point and there will not be a direct discharge". Since the limitation is not retained from the current Permit and DSN 462B is not a direct discharge, PSEG requests the weekly average limitation for TSS be deleted.

Response 6: The Department recognizes that it has incorrectly stated that the weekly average limitation for TSS has been retained from the existing permit. Nonetheless, based on the rationale indicated in Response 5 above, the Department maintains that inclusion of this limit is appropriate based on the secondary treatment standards.

No changes to the permit have been made as a result of this comment.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.K, page 16 of 28 - DSN 461A Comment 7: Consistent with the comments above regarding continuous CPO monitoring, if the Department determines that continuous CPO monitoring is not required, the schedule of compliance would not be required.

Response 7: Please refer to Response 3.

Fact Sheet, Section 13, page 20 of 28 Comment 8: The permit summary table for DSN 462B indicates that there is a 45 mg/L TSS weekly average limitation. As discussed above, the current permit does not contain a weekly average limitation of reporting requirement for TSS.

Response 8: The Department agrees that the 45 mg/L TSS weekly average limitation was deleted in the February 14, 1997 NJPDES Permit as noted in Section 1.C.2, Part III-B/C. Nonetheless, the Department has determined it appropriate to include this limitation at this time for the reasons discussed in Response

6.

Permit, Part III, Section A, Table Ill-B-l, page 2 of 16 Comment 9: As discussed above, PSEG believes continuous monitoring is not warranted and periodic grab sampling is more appropriate. The continuous monitoring requirement identified as "final" should be deleted and the three times per week grab sample identified as "initial" should be retained for the term of the Permit.

Response 9: Please refer to Response 3.

Permit, Part III, Section A, Table III-C-2, page 6 of 16

Response to Comments Page 5 of 8 Permit No. NJ00254 11 Comment 10: The Quantification Limit of 20 micrograms per liter for Ammonia Nitrogen (as N) is not achievable using approved analytical methodologies by the New Jersey Certified Laboratories contacted.

The Department has recognized the challenge of meeting the Recommended Quantitation Levels (hereafter "RQLs") at the Fact Sheet, Section 8.E., page 14 of 28 in stating that "the quantitation levels listed therein can be reliably and consistently achieved by most state certified laboratories for most of the pollutants" (emphasis added). Ammonia Nitrogen appears to be one of the exceptions. The Delaware Estuary in the vicinity of the Station has a background ammonia nitrogen concentration of approximately five to ten times the proposed RQL. PSEG recommends the RQL for Ammonia Nitrogen be changed to 100 micrograms per liter. Additionally, PSEG requests clarification that the term Recommended Quantitation Level as used in-his section has the same meaning as the term Quantification Limit as used in Part III of the Permit, or the Department provide a description of the difference and how these would be applied.

Response 10: The Department agrees that inclusion of the RQL of 20 ug/L was made in error in this section which pertains to the Wastewater Characterization Requirements for DSN 461C. The Department has deleted the RQL for DSN 461C in this final permit action and has not specified an RQL for ammonia.

For purposes of clarification, the term "quantification limit", as used on page 14 of 28 of the Fact Sheet, is used interchangeably with the term "recommended quantitation level" as used on page 6 of 16 of Part III as well as in other areas of the permit.

Permit, Part Il, Section A, Table II-D-I1, page 7 of 16 Comment 11: As discussed above (see comments regarding Fact Sheet, Section 8.B., page 13 of 29),

PSEG believes imposition of these new BOD 5 limitations are not appropriate for this discharge.

Response 11: Please refer to Response 5.

Permit, Part II, Section A, Table 111-D-I, page 8 of 16 Comment 12: As discussed above (see comments regarding Fact Sheet, Section 8.b., page 13 of 28),

PSEG believes imposition of this new TSS limitation is not appropriate for this discharge.

Response 12: Please refer to Response 6.

Permit, Part IV, Section E.l.e, page 3 of 12 Comment 13: PSEG believes the parenthetical limitation following the authorization to utilize sodium hypochlorite is inappropriate. The parenthetical limits sodium hypochlorite usage by stating "although not in excess of two hours per day". Sodium hypochlorite is normally continuously added to the systems. PSEG is limited to discharging chlorine produced oxidants to two hours per day from the addition of sodium hypochlorite and meets this requirement by dechlorinating the effluent of the cooling tower blowdown using ammonium bisulfite before discharge. This limitation is contained in Part IV, Section G.I. PSEG request deletion of the parenthetical following the words "sodium hypochlorite".

Response 13: The Department has reviewed the condition in Section E..e. and agrees that the parenthetical reference to "although not in excess of two hours per day" is unnecessary given the

Response to Comments Page 6 of 8 Permit No. NJ0025411 referenced in this same condition to item G.1.

This parenthetical phrase has been deleted in the final permit action. This change affects item E.i.e, page 3 of 12 in Part IV.

Clarification to Final Permit Initiated by the Department Item 9.b., Part TV Please note that as per a request from the Delaware River Basin Commission, the Department has slightly modified the language in item 9.b. of Part IV in this final permit action where this language pertains to the applicable DRBC document.

Conditions Related to Part IV. Section Stormwater Permit effluent limitations, non-numeric effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other conditions are authorized by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and the New Jersey State Water Pollution Control Act (N.J.S.A.

58: 1 OA-1 et seq.). These statutes are implemented by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) (40 CFR 122) and the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES)

(N.J.A.C. 7:14A) permit program.

Concerning the permit renewal, the NJDEP is authorized under the federal regulations (40 CFR 122.4) and under NJPDES rules (N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.2(b)) to impose BMPs to control and abate the discharge of pollutants. The NJDEP may impose BMPs when BMPs are reasonably necessary to achieve effluent limitations and standards to carry out the purposes and intent of the State and Federal Acts.

Additionally, the NJDEP believes that it is not feasible at this time to establish water quality based effluent limits (WQBEL) for this stormwater discharge. The proposed limitations incorporated in the SPPP are consistent with the NJDEP's and USEPA's Stormwater permitting philosophy of reducing the amount of pollution created and to prevent pollution from occurring in the first place (see 24 N.J.R 2352).

The primary method used in NJPDES Stormwater Permits, since the formation of the Stormwater Permit Program, has been the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Since the inception of NJDEP's Stormwater Permit Program the approach to the abatement of pollutants in stormwater has focused on pollution prevention rather than end of pipe treatment. The SPPP requirements and monitoring requirements operate as limitations and control on stormwater effluent discharges to prevent stormwater contamination and are intended to achieve Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT). The SPPP focuses on several areas of control, such as inventory, mapping, inspections, schedules and very importantly Best Management Practices (BMPs).

The BMPs incorporated in any facility's SPPP are the primary mechanism used in stormwater management to eliminate the discharge of pollutants into the State's receiving waters. It has been the position of the NJDEP that in the circumstance when the elimination of contact with source material is not an economically viable option for a facility the NJDEP may require the reduction of the pollutant load using BMPs.. This is done through an individual facility permit and would also include a determination that the receiving water quality is not being adversely impacted. This difference between the elimination of pollutants and the reduction of pollutants entering a facility's stormwater runoff is how the NJDEP approaches permitting a facility.

Response to Comments Page 7 of 8 Permit No. NJ0025411 The State's Basic Industrial Stormwater Discharge General Permit ("the General Permit" NJ0088315) regulates a facility towards achieving the goal of eliminating contact of source material with stormwater runoff, which has been informally referred to as the "no exposure" requirement. The belief being that the greatest environmental benefit would be derived from the complete elimination of exposure of source material. Therefore, the NJDEP Stormwater Permitting Program has structured permits, which are available to the regulated community, with an incentive to apply for the General Permit by having reduced fees and administrative costs, and by eliminating requirements for monitoring/sampling. The reason behind eliminating monitoring in the general permit goes to the premise that if you eliminate the source you eliminate the need to monitor.

Those facilities for various economic reasons who can not comply with the "no exposure" performance standard in the general permit must apply for an individual permit. Individual permits require sampling and monitoring. The main purpose for including sampling and monitoring requirements in an individual stormwater permit is to verify that BMPs are effective in controlling and abating pollutants in the facility's stormwater runoff, and to evaluate whether the discharge is negatively impacting the receiving water.

After review of the facility's SPPP and prior to drafting today's final permit NJDEP contacted the Permittee, PSEG Nuclear LLC ("PSEG"), regarding the option of applying for an authorization under the General Permit. PSEG declined to apply for the General Permit Authorization and requested that stormwater continue to be permitted under its individual permit. Based on PSEG's request NJDEP concluded that the Hope Creek facility still has exposed source material that contacts its stormwater runoff and therefore must be regulated based on the policies outlined above. This would include sampling and monitoring of its stormwater discharge, which is why this was included in the proposed permit.

PSEG, has commented that, "The Department reviewed the stormwater study in the October 31, 1996 Draft NJPDES Permit Fact Sheet ("1996 Fact Sheet") and stated that the "stormwater study demonstrated that representative monitoring of stormwater could not be achieved with the existing conveyance system elevations due to tidal intrusion in the system by Delaware River water" (1996 Fact Sheet, Page 65 of 86). The Department further determined that modifications to the existing conveyance system elevations were not practical (1996 Fact Sheet, page 65 of 86)."

This statement made in the 1996 Fact Sheet was a summary of the conclusions made by PSEG in its stormwater study dated July 13, 1990 and did not represent the opinion of the NJDEP. The opinions expressed by NJDEP regarding the stormwater study and the implementation of capital projects by PSEG actually began with the final paragraph of page 66 of 86 Pages and stated, "As a result of the implementation of the capital projects and the BMP required under the ACO, the average TSS values reported on Hope Creek Generating Station's DMRs since 1992 have consistently been lower than the values reported prior to the installation of the capital projects and the BMP. The NJDEP's Bureau of Stormwater Permitting and the Bureau of Standard Permitting have inspected the site and have determined that the continued use of BMPs instead of numeric limits is the most appropriate means of regulating the discharge of pollutants from this site in stormwater runoff' (Page 67 of 86 Pages)."

Response to Comments Page 8 of 8 Permit No. NJ002541 I It is the NJDEP's position that the DMR data was representative since the decision to remove the numeric limitations was in part based on the evaluation of the performance of the BMPs using the DMR data as stated in the aforementioned paragraph. As indicated by PSEG, the NJDEP did replace the numeric effluent limitations and monitoring conditions in the existing permit for the stormwater outfalls with BMPs and Page 67 of 86 of the fact sheet stated this; "The Department finds that the continuance of the numeric effluent limitations and monitoring conditions is unwarranted and infeasible based on the following: 1) the tidal intrusion of the Delaware River into the stormwater conveyance system reported in the stormwater study submitted by the permittee in 1990; and 2) the material and substantial changes at the facility implemented between 1989 and 1992 through its capital improvement projects and implementation of the BMPs such as minimization and elimination of contact of source materials with stormwater runoff.."

As PSEG noted in its comments, this paragraph does state and confirm PSEG's conclusion that the numeric limitations are unwarranted and infeasible based in part on the tidal intrusion of the Delaware River in the stormwater conveyance system. However, it does not specifically identify representative sampling as the basis for it being unwarranted and infeasible. The statement does not go into detail as to how the writer arrived at this decision. Notwithstanding, the NJDEP's position is that the samples collected must have been representative if the numeric limitations were in part removed and replaced with BMPs using DMR data. In retrospect the NJDEP believes that the statement should have been documented further. In addition, due to the capital project instituted at the facility, which resulted in changes in the management of stormwater runoff, new representative sample locations and continuous monitoring could have been included in the 1997 final permit, as per the January 11, 1990 Administrative Consent Order (ACO) that states in paragraph 23:

" PSE&G shall develop and implement a Best Management Practices Plan ('BMPP") to control the discharge of suspended solids in stormwater runoff from the site and a plan of study ("the Study") to determine the most feasible method by which representative monitoring of stormwater outfalls 462A, 463A and 464 may be performed to account for all applicable sources of stormwater originating from the site in accordance with the enforcement compliance schedule in paragraph twenty -five (25)."

Additionally, the Draft Fact Sheet noticed on November 19, 2002, did state that the stormwater drainage systems may contain Delaware River water. In consideration of the above mentioned facts, and based on the comments received by PSEG, NJDEP is renewing today's permit with the stormwater requirements contained in the 1997 final permit. The NJDEP will re-evaluate the information submitted by PSEG regarding the intrusion of water from the Delaware River and representative sampling of the conveyance system; and will inspect the site with PSEG to specifically identify new representative sample locations for the stormwater discharge from the areas of industrial activity. The permit will then be modified to include the appropriate sampling and monitoring requirements used for individual permits to verify the performance of the BMPs based on the current NJDEP policies outlined in the statements above.

HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION, Lower Alloways Creek Permit No NJ0025411 PER020001 Consolidated Renewal Permit Action a

Given a coincident occurrence of a wet bulb temperature that exceeds 76 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity below 60 percent during a given day for a period equal to or greater than 60 minutes, the daily maximum temperature limit does not apply and monitoring only is required. If these two conditions for wet bulb temperature and relative humidity occur, as well as an exceedance of the temperature limit of 97.1 degrees Fahrenheit at DSN 461 A, the permittee is required to submit a chart with columns for the following data for each hour of that day: (1)

Cooling Tower Blowdown Flow (gpm), (2) Intake Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit), (3)

Blowdown Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit); (4) Change in Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit),

(5) MBTU/Hour; (6) Dry Bulb Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit); (7) Dew Point Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit); (8) Wet Bulb Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit); and (9) Relative Humidity (percent).

b. Dry bulb temperature, dew point, barometric pressure and wind speed and direction are measured at 15-minute intervals at Hope Creek's meteorological Station. Wet bulb temperature and relative humidity are computed using measurements of dry bulb temperature and dew point with a numerical algorithm that relates the dependence of wet bulb temperature and relative humidity on dew point, dry bulb temperature, and atmospheric pressure. In the event that data are not available from the Hope Creek meteorological Tower, then PSEG may utilize data collected at the Wilmington meteorological Station (Wilmington). The use of another alternative source (other than Hope Creek meteorological Tower data or Wilmington metorological Station) must be approved in advance by the Department and duly noted on the monitoring report form. The permittee must retain records of the Wilmington data or any other data in its monitoring report form back up file for the term specified by the applicable provisions of the NJPDES regulations

11. Proper Operation and Maintenance of Cooling Tower

a. The Department reserves the right to revoke the alternate temperature condition at DSN 461A, which is conditional on the occurence of extreme meteorological conditions, if it is determined that the cooling tower is not being properly operated and maintained.
