Dave Lee Kris McKinney (w/o attachment)

Barry Zalcman - NRC Stacey Imboden - NRC ED File: 19.24.01 WPDES Permit No. NVI-0000957-07-0 for Point Beach Nuclear Plant has been re-issued with an effective date of July 1, 2004 and an expiration date of June 30, 2009. Many of the permit conditions are the same as the previous permit. The most significant changes are as follows:

• The permit is organized differently, with the monitoring requirements for the internal sampling points first, followed by the requirements for the final outfalls.

• For Sampling Point 105 (Low Volume Wastewater Effluent), monitoring for potassium permanganate, metals and hardness, and sulfate has been removed since we satisfied the initial potable water treatment system monitoring requirements during the last permit term.

• For Outfalls 001 and 002 (Condenser Cooling Water), monitoring for EVAC has been added. (The same monitoring requirements had previously been stated in a letter from DNR.)

• Outfall 003 (Alternative Outfall for Wastewater Retention Pond) has been removed since the retention pond has been abandoned.

• For Outfall 004 (Intake De-icing), the sample frequency has been changed to "Per Occurrence,"

which means that we will need to report an estimated flow for each day that de-icing is performed.

• Outfalls 007 and 008 (Units I and 2 Nash Pump Service Water) have been removed since the vacuum priming pump discharges have been rerouted to Outfalls 001 and 002.

A schedule of compliance entitled Cooling Water Intake Structure BTA Study has been added. The purpose of this is to address the requirements of Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act concerning cooling water intake structures and the impingement and entrainment of aquatic organisms. The Environmental Department will coordinate this work, and appropriate plant personnel will be involved.

July 7, 2004 Page 2 Other things to note:

• At Outfalls 001 and 002, a total residual chlorine (TRC) sample must be taken during each chlorination event, even if multiple events occur on the same day. Also, the mass limit for TRC applies to the sum of the Outfall 001 anid 002 discharges.

Since sampling conducted in May showed that the source of mercury that had been discovered during the permit application sampling (i.e., Nessler's reagent) has been removed, the DNR omitted a mercury schedule of compliance from the final permit.

As always, please notify the Environmental Department'as soon as possible of any suspected or confirmed exceedances, bypasses, or spills so that we'can make the required notifications. Also, please let us know in advance if you plan to change any water treatment additives (particularly those that could end up in discharges to the lake) so that we can get the necessary approvals.

Attached are copies of the cover letter from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the permit itself. Please keep a copy of the permit in the plant file.. If you have any questions about the permit, please contact me (221-3235) or Dave Lee (221-2158).

NR 290.12(2)(c), Wis. Adm. Code.

A waiver from this limitation is approved and the total residual chlorine limitations outlined in Footnote 2.2.1.4 apply.

2.2.1.3 Chlorine Sampling Procedure One grab sample for total residual chlorine shall be collected during the peak chlorine discharge of each chlorination event. The reported value shall be the maximum of the events. A continuous monitor may be used to determine the peak value as long as it duplicates an approved method. The permittee shall use EPA test method 330.2 or 330.5, or other equivalent test method with a suitable level of detection. Monitoring is only required on days when chlorine is added to the cooling water (may vary from 3 to 7.days per week depending on the lake temperature).

2.2.1.4 Total Resid ual Chlorine Limitations The limit for total residual chlorine at Outfall 001 and 002 is variable. It is 200 jig/L when chlorine is discharged for 160 minutes/day (or less), and 38 pg/L for days when chlorine is discharged for more than 160 minutes. The time of discharge shall be assumed equal to the time that detectable levels (as defined in Standard Requirement) of chlorine are present in the cooling water discharged. Alternatively, continuous chlorine monitoring may be done to document the time chlorine is present in the discharge. The 320 pounds/day mass limit applies to the combined discharge of Outfall 001 plus 002.

2.2.1.5 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing Primary Control Water: Lake Michigan Instream Waste Concentration: 9%

Reporting of test results and compliance with effluent limitations for chlorine residual and total residual halogens shall be as follows:

Sample results which show no detectable levels are in compliance with the limit. These test results shall be reported on Wastewater Discharge Monitoring Report Forms as "< 100 g+/-g/L". (Note: 0.1 mg/L converts to 100 g1g/L)

• Samples showing detectable traces of chlorine are in compliance if measured at less than 100 Itg/L, unless there is a consistent pattern of detectable values in this range. These values shall also be reported on Wastewater Discharge Monitoring Report Forms as "<100 jigfL." The facility operating staff shall record actual readings on logs maintained at the plant, shall take action to determine the reliability of detected results (such as re-sampling andlor calculating dosages), and shall adjust the chemical feed system if necessary to reduce the chances of detects.

• Samples showing detectable levels greater than 100 lig/L shall be considered as exceedances, and shall be reported as measured.

• To calculate average or mass discharge values, a "0" (zero) may be substituted for any test result less than 100 gg/L. Calculated values shall then be compared directly to.the average or mass limitations to determine compliance.

5.3.5 Additives In the event that the permittee wishes to commence use of a water treatment additive, or increase the usage of the additives greater than indicated in the permit application, the permittee must get a written approval from the Department prior to initiating such changes. This written approval shall provide authority to utilize the additives at the specific rates until the permit can be either reissued or modified in accordance with s. 283.53, Stats.
