Dear Sir:
In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.10, PSEG Nuclear has prepared this report confirming the discharge to the Delaware River of approximately 60 gallons of untreated sewage. The discharge resulted from a power failure of the #2 lift station due to localized electrical problems. This failure caused untreated sewage to back up in the collection system and overflow a manway into a storm drain approximetly 20 feet away.
This storm drain lead to a discharge to the Delaware River via DSN 463A.
The discharge was reported to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
("NJDEP") Hotline and assigned Case No. 03-04-28-1546-59.
Operations personnel discovered the discharge at 1413 hours0.0164 days <br />0.393 hours <br />0.00234 weeks <br />5.376465e-4 months <br /> on April 28, 2003. It is unknown when the discharge began. Upon discovery of the overflow to the storm drain, Operations personnel immediately restored power to the lift station and the flow stopped at 1417. A vaccum truck was used to remove excess sewage from the lift station to prevent further overflow In order to prevent reoccurrence, PSEG will evaluate and repair the electrical system to the #2 lift station. As a defense in depth measure PSEG will have the vaccum truck available to maintain normal level in the lift station as the electrical system is repaired.
