'Monitoring Requirement Only.

a.

The intake temperature for this designated outfall shall be considered that temperature existing after intake waters have been tempered. Tbe Intake-Discharge Temperature Difference limit may be exceeded during periods when plant safety is at issue, during periods when the circulating water system (CWS) is experiencing an emergency situation that is outside the normal operating envelope or during routine maintenance of the system, such as, but not limited to, the following situations: debris blockage of a CWS component, an emergency steam release, pump breakdown, etc. In the event of such an emergencylbreakdown, the permittee shall take corrective action to bring the temperature parameter within the permit limit as soon as possible. The permittee, whenever possible, should take action to avoid temperature parameter exceedance from June through September.

In the event that the facility is experiencing inlet icing conditions during the winter season, the Intake-Discharge Temperature Difference limit may be exceeded by 35%, or 12.25-F, for no more than one hour during each reverse flow or return to normal flow operation. The facility may exceed the 35% criteria for a period of fifteen (15) minutes when the facility returns to normalo flow configuration. This momentary increase during return to normal flow configuration is accepatable.

The permittee shall indicate in the Discharge Monitoring Report the reason for operating outside. of the permit limit, and the dates and times of the associated event. In no case shall the permit limitation be exceeded for more than 5% of the operating time during the operating year.

b.

These limits and monitoring requirements shall not apply if this wastewater is discharged upstream ofthe sewage treatment plant influent.

c.

There shall be no discharge of heat from the main condensers except heat may be discharged in blowdown from recirculated cooling water systems provided the temperature at which the blowdown is discharged does not exceed at any time the lowest temperature of recirculated cooling water prior to the addition of the makeup water. Outfall 040 includes cooling tower blowdown as well as service waterflow.

d.

pH range of 4.0 - 9.0 is allowable for wastewater having a conductivity of less than 10 pmholcm.

e.

Discharge from the two switchyard oil separators will be sampled before combination with waste stream 020.

f.

Computer data, logged at least hourly, may be utilized for this parameter in order to verify compliance during normal operating conditions. During unusual operating conditions or in situations where the hourly data is near the outfall limitation, chart recorder data will be reviewed and utilized to demonstrate compliance.

g.

Total.copper samples should be obtained from the CWS blowdown line or the cooling tower basin. The total copper concentration for Outfall 040 will be based on a calculated value taking into consideration the flow from the service water system. The equation and parameters for performing this calculation are as follows:

Total copper concentration at Outfall 040 =

[CWS]c, X CWS Blowdown Flow

[CWS]c, X Tempering Flow Total Flow for Outfall 040 Total Flow for Outfall 0040 Where:

[CWS]c,, = Copper concentration of Circulating Water System (CWS) Blowdown Total Flow for Outfall 040 = CWS Bl6wdown Flow & Service Water Discharge Flow Tempering Flow = The amount of service water (discharge effluent) used to temper the service water influent during winter months.

Permit outfalls with this designation may include wastewater sources of HVAC condensation, chlorinated city water, fire protection water, circulating (lake) water, service (lake) water, groundwater, precipitation water, demineralized water and

SPDES NO.: NY 000 1015 Part 1, Page 6 of 18 surface runoff water. These sources are approved for discharge from the permit listed outfalls.

Changes in Service Water System flowrates should be made in a manner that minimizes the rapid discharge of deposited sediments during periods of normal operation above 5% power load.

j.

High purity wastewater discharges that have a conductivity of 10 pmho/cm or less are permitted for an oil and grease and total suspended solids measurement frequency of once per calendar quarter.

k.

The use of sand separators at the Unit I Seal Water System and associated wastewaters are approved for discharge.

I.

Total residual oxidant applies only to treatments of Service Water System.

m.

During tempering of service waters with cooling water, a portion of the tempering waters will be discharged via this outfall.

Furthermore, during drainage of the cooling tower system, a portion of these drainage waters will also be discharged via this outfall.

n.

The Free Available Chlorine sample shall be obtained prior to combination with Service Water.

o.

Discharge allowed when Inhibitor AZ8104 concentration is at 8.8 mg/I or less (whole product) and CUPROSTAT PF concentration is at 19.5 mg/I or less (whole product).

p.

In no case shall the temperature limit be exceeded more than 5% of the time-during the operating year.

q.

Permit outfalls with this designation include the discharge of uncontaminated precipitation storm water and/or groundwater from containment systems and other similar structures to the surrounding grounds, including stoned areas. Contaminated water from said structures will be managed per NMPNS spill procedures, the Spill Prevention' Report (SPR) and the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan.

r.

Outfall 040A has two contributing sources, each originating from an individual sump located in the Circulating Water Pump pits.

Calculated flows are based on the 'Adams Strainer" pressure reading, which is indicative of lake level.

Weekend/holiday calculated flows are based on the 'Adams Strainer' pressure reading from the previous surveillance. Calculated flows for Monday through Friday are based on the respective lake level for the calcuation date.

t.

The use of barley straw for pH control in the Unit 1 Oil Retention Basin is acceptable.

u.

Decay Heat Cooling Tower Blowdown discharges into Outfall 040. Total Residual Chlorine is monitored at the discharge of Outfall 040.

SPDES NO.: NY 000 1015 Part 1, Page 17 of 18 SPECIAL CONDITIONS - BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES The permittee shall develop and implement a Best Management Practices (BMP) plan, within one year of EDP to prevent, or minimize the potential for, release of significant amounts of toxic or hazardous pollutants to the waters of the State through plant site runoff; spillage and leaks; sludge or waste disposal; or drainage from raw material storage.

If a plan exists, a letter indicating that all requirements addressed in this section must be submitted to this Department within one year of EDP.

2.

The permittee shall Preview all facility components or systems (including material storage areas; in-plant transfer, process and material handling areas; loading and unloading operations; and sludge and waste disposal areas) where toxic or hazardous pollutants are used, manufactured, stored or handled to evaluate the potential for the release of significant amounts of such pollutants to the waters of the State. In performing such an evaluation, the permittee shall consider such factors as the probability of equipment failure or improper operation, settlement of facility air emissions, the effects of natural phenomena such as freezing temperatures and precipitation,-fires, and the facility's history of spills and leaks. For hazardous pollutants, the list of reportable quantities as defined in 40 CFR, Parti 17 may be used as a guide. in determining significant amounts of releases. For toxic pollutants, the relative toxicity of the pollutant shall be considered in determining the significance of potential releases.

The review shall address all substances present at the facility that are listed as toxic pollutants under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act or as hazardous pollutants under Section 311 of the Act or that are identified as Chemicals of Concern by the Industrial Chemical Survey.

3.

Whenever the potential for a significant release of toxic or hazardous pollutants to State waters is determined to be present, the permittee shall identify Best Management Practices that have been established to minimize such potential releases. Where BMPs are inadequate or absent, appropriate BMPs shall be established. In selecting appropriate BMPs, the permittee shall consider typical industry practices such as spill reporting procedures, risk identification and assessment, employee training, inspections and records, preventive maintenance, good housekeeping, materials compatibility and security. In addition, the permittee may consider structural measures (such as secondary containment devices) where appropriate.

Development of the BMP plan shall include sampling of waste stream segments for the purpose of toxic 'hot spot" identification. The economic achievability of technology-based end-of-pipe treatment will not be considered until plant site 'hot spot" sources have been identified, contained, removed or minimized through the imposition of site specific BMPs or application of internal facility treatment technology.

5.

The BMP plan shall be documented in narrative form and shall include any necessary plot plans, drawings or maps..

Other documents already prepared for the facility such as a Safety Manual or a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan may be used as part of the plan and may be incorporated by reference. A copy of the BMP plan shall be maintained at the facility and shall be available to authorized Department representatives upon request. As a minimum, the plan shall include the following BMP's:

a. BMP C6mmittee

f.

Preventive Maintenance

b. Reporting of BMP Incidents

g. Good Housekeeping

c. Risk Identification and Assessment

h.

Materials Compatibility

d. Employee Training

i.

Security

e. Inspections and Records

6.

The BMP plan shall be modified whenever changes at the facility materially increase the potential for significant releases of toxic or. hazardous pollutants or where actual releases indicate the plan is inadequate.

A "hot spot' is a segment of an industrial facility; including but not limited to soil, equipment, material storage areas, sewer lines etc.; which contributes elevated levels of problem pollutants to the wastewater and/or storm water collection system of that facility. For the purposes of this definition, problem pollutants are substances for which end of pipe treatment to meet a water quality or technology requirement may, considering the results of wastestream segment sampling, be deemed unreasonable.. For the purposes of this definition, an elevated level is a concentration or mass loading of the pollutant in question which is adequately, higher than the end of pipe concentration of that same pollutant so as to allow for an economically justify removal and/or isolation of the segment and/or B.A.T. treatment of wastewaters emanating from the segment.
