STATE OF MICHIGAN GROUNDWATER DISCHARGE AUTHORIZATION APPLICATION for the disposal of wastewater to the ground or groundwater ILL Permits Section Groundwater Discharge Unit Water Bureau Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor Steven E. Chester, Director
PREFACE Th's document contains a set of instructions and the application form necessary to apply for a groundwater discharge authorization. The instructions are organized to allow you to determine what type of authorization is required and how to obtain it.
The instructions first list several types of groundwater discharges that are prohibited, then several types of discharges that are automatically authorized, referred to as exemptions. If the discharge you are proposing is on either of these lists, you will not need to submit an application form. All other discharge authorization requests are required to file an application form. The instructions go on to list several other specific types of discharges that can be authorized short of a full permit. If the discharge is not included among those listed, then you must apply for a pernilt under Rule 2218.
The application form has two parts. The first is general information, which must be filled out by all applicants. The general information section is found on Pages 14-17 of the application. The second half of the application is divided into sections that are specific to the type of authorization being sought.
Authorizations issued under Rules 2211, 2213 and 2216 are for very specific discharges, and are listed in the instructions. All remaining discharges are authorized under Rule 2218. Once you have determined what type of authorization you require and filled out the general information section, you should locate the portion of the application specific to your discharge and fill out the appropriate information. Page 18 of this document contains a detailed index listing the specific pages to be filled out for each specific discharge.
Please note: The Rules require that the applicant must provide all information necessary to make a permit decision. Applications that do not contain all necessary information will be returned as incomplete.

A. GENERAL INFORMATION
- 1. WHO MUST APPLY FOR A PERMIT?
Section 3112(1) of Part 31, Water Resources Protection, of the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act of 1994, PA 451 as amended (Act 451) states that any person discharging any waste or waste effluent into the waters of this state must be in possession of a valid authorization to discharge from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (department).
A "person" is defined as an individual, partnership, corporation, association, governmental entity, or other legal entity.
- 2. PURPOSE The purpose of the Part 22 Rules is to preserve the quality of groundwater for all of its protected uses, both current and potential future uses. Section 3109(1) of Act 451 prohibits the direct or indirect discharge into any waters of the state any substance that is or may become injurious to any protected uses of those waters. The department enforces this prohibition through the 'Part 22" Administrative Rules, contained at M.A.C.
R323.2201 through 2240. These rules are referenced in this document as Rule 2201 through 2240. The protected uses include public health, safety, and welfare; domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational or other uses that may be made of such waters; the value or utility of riparian lands; and the use of the water by livestock, wild animals, birds, fish, aquatic life, or plants or the growth or propagation of those entities.
- 3. INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL DISCHARGERS Rules 2206 and 2217 require that you must provide all information for the Department to make a decision regarding an application for a groundwater discharge authorization. If the information is not provided, the application will be returned as incomplete.
2
- 4. REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL DISCHARGERS Rule 2204 establishes certain requirements for all dischargers. These are:
- 1. The discharge must not become injurious.
- 2. The discharge must not cause runoff to, ponding of, or flooding of adjacent property..
- 3. The discharge must not cause erosion.
- 4. The discharge must not cause nuisance conditions.
- 5. The discharge must be located not less than 100 feet inside the boundary of the property where the discharge occurs, unless authorized by Rule 2210, 2211, 2213 or a lesser distance is approved by the department.
- 6. The discharge must be isolated from water supply wells as indicated in Rule 2204(2)(d).
- 7. The discharge must not create a facility under Part 201 of Act 451.
There are certain operational requirements for each type of discharge that must be met after an authorization is issued. Those requirements are found in Appendix B, Pages 45-46 of the application form.
- 5. DISCHARGE PROHIBITIONS Rule 2205 prohibits:
- 1. A discharge without an authorization under Rule 2204.
- 2. A discharge from a general-purpose floor drain unless authorized under Rule 2210(v), Rule 2215 or 2218.
- 3. A discharge of wastewater originating from a structure within 200 feet of an available public sanitary sewer system, except for a discharge of non-contact cooling water or a discharge from a groundwater remediation activity. For sanitary sewage, an available public sanitary sewer system is defined by section 12751(a) of Act 368 of the Public Acts of 1978, as amended, being 333.12751 (a) of the Michigan Compiled Laws. For any other discharge, the department must make a determination of availability based on the ability of the public sanitary sewer system to treat the wastewater and the costs associated with providing the treatment.
4 E0P5305 (Rev 11/2004)
- 6. WHAT SETBACK REQUIREMENTS MUST I MEET FOR MY DISCHARGE?
If the discharge is authorized under Rules 2216 or 2218, the point of discharge must be at least 100 feet within the property boundary, unless an alternate distance is required or allowed by the department. Also, there are requirements under Rule 2204(2)(d) for isolation distances from existing water supply wells. The following table lists those isolation requirements.
Well Type Permit Authorization - 2218, 2216(3)
All Other Authorizations I, Ila 2000 feet l
200 feet lib, Ill 800feet 75 feet Domestic 300 feet 50 feet
- 7. WHAT IF I HAVE AN EXISTING PERMIT. AND THERE IS A CHANGE IN MY DISCHARGE?
If you anticipate there will be a change in either the quantity or quality of your discharge, you must notify the department prior to making the change. Within 30 calendar days of receiving the notice of modification, the department will notify you whether the modification is considered minor or significant. 'If the department determines the change is minor, you can make the changes you have identified, and the existing permit will be modified to reflect those changes. The department will send you a copy of the amended permit. If the changes are determined to be significant, then you must reapply for a permit by completing the application form and submitting it to the department for review and approval.
- 8. HOW DO I DEMONSTRATE EQUIVALENCY?
In many instances, the Part 22 rules allow you to provide equivalent information or alternative ways of meeting the conditions of the Rules. To demonstrate equivalency, you should provide both a narrative description and technical data to show that the alternative proposed meets the intent and achieve the same purpose as the Rule in question. For example, there arelspecific requirements for source water for Fruit & Vegetable washwater, Rule 2211 (c), including municipal water, a water source meeting state or federal criteria, or water meeting standards of Rule 2222. An alternative water source not specified is surface water. If you wish to use surface water, you need to describe and demonstrate, possibly through water quality testing, how the surface water meets the intent of the Rule and provides equivalent environmental protection to the sources specified in the Rule.
B. IDENTIFYING THE TYPE OF AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED This section lists all of the specific discharges identified in the Part 22 Rules. You should review the list and determine if your discharge is listed, and then follow the directions for how that particular discharge receives authorization.

- 4. RULE 2223 - DISCHARGE MONITORING.
You are required to monitor your discharge in a manner, at a frequency, and for a substance(s) the department specifies are necessary to assess compliance with these Rules. The components of a monitoring program are:
(1) Monitoring of an indicator parameter may be used in monitoring if the technique accurately reflects the effect of the discharge. An indicator parameter must be representative of the environmental fate of a substance or substances in the discharge and must be one of the following:
(a) A substance in the discharge.
(b) A decomposition material of a substance.
(c) A sampling parameter that can be directly correlated to the concentration of another substance in the discharge.
(2) Groundwater monitoring must include the collection of water quality and water level data from a well or group of wells that are specifically designed to adequately assess the impact of the discharge on groundwater. The design of the groundwater monitoring system must be based on all of the following:
(a) The hydrogeologic report.
(b) Considerations of the local geology.
(c) Groundwater conditions specific to each site.
(d) The type of discharge.
.- 10 EQP5305 (Rev 11/2004)
(3) At the time of application for a permit under Rule 2218, an applicant must propose, for department approval, a groundwater sampling and analysis plan that establishes criteria for collecting representative samples of groundwater. The plan must contain all of the following information:
- (a) The number and location of wells to be included in the groundwater monitoring system.
(b) For each well, the depth and screened interval for each monitor well. The'screened interval must be referenced to United States geological survey data.
(c) Well construction materials and installation techniques.
(d) Sampling frequency.
(e) A list of substances to be sampled.
(f) Sampling procedure, including all of the following:
(i) The method and volume of water removed from each well during sampling.
(ii) Steps taken to prevent cross contamination between wells.
(iii) Sample handling and preservation methods.
(iv) Laboratory analysis method.
(v) Laboratory method detection level.
(vi) Quality assurance and quality control program.
(g) A description of the techniques used to present and evaluate groundwater quality monitoring data.
(h) A description of the method used to collect static water levels and present groundwater flow data.
Static water level precision must be to 0.01 foot.
(4) A discharger.must design, construct, and abandon a monitoring well as follows:
(a) A monitoring well must be located at a depth where the screened interval will intercept the path of any discharge from the site in the groundwater.
(b) If the thickness of the aquifer receiving the discharge is more than 20 feet, then at least one hydraulically downgradient monitor well location must contain a cluster well. The separation and length of the screens must be such that discrete groundwater potentiometric surface data can be collected to determine vertical gradients within the aquifer.
(c) Monitor well construction and sampling equipment materials must not influence the sampling results for the substances sampled.
(d) A monitor well must be designed to collect an adequate volume of water to allow analysis for the complete set of substances indicative of the discharge.
(e) Annular space between the borehole and the well must be grouted from the ground surface to two feet above the well screen to prevent vertical leakage of the fluids between the casing and the drill hole. When drilling through confining layers, a discharger must install double-cased wells to prevent the hydraulic connection of fluids between formations above and below the confining layer.
(f) A well must be protected against the introduction of contaminants by means of a locking device or by another method approved by the department.
(g) A well must be vented so that accurate static water levels may be collected, or well caps must be removed a sufficient amount of time before measurement so that representative static water levels can be measured. Care must be taken to prevent the introduction of contaminants through vents.
(h) The well casing must be adequately marked and protected against accidental damage.
(i) A well must be labeled so that the discharger s name, address and the well number can be determined through the life of the permit.
() If a monitoring well is to be permanently abandoned, a discharger must follow the plugging procedures in part 127 of Act No. 368 of the Public Acts of 1978, as amended, being 323.12701 to 323.12715 of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
(k) A discharger must receive department approval before installing, replacing, redeveloping, or abandoning a monitoring well that is part of the discharge-monitoring program.
(5) If necessary to measure compliance with a standard established under Rule 2222, the department may specify the monitoring of media in addition to groundwater.
(6) A monitoring program under this Rule must be evaluated by the department on the basis of the threat the discharge poses to protected uses given all of the following factors:
(a) The substances in the discharge.
(b) The volume of the discharge.
(c) The amount of information related to predicting the impacts of a discharge developed through the hydrogeological report prepared under Rule 2221.

D. APPLICATION PROCESS At this point, you should be aware of the type of authorization that you will need from the department. This section describes the process of filing an application form with the department, formally requesting the authorization.
- 1. WHEN DO I HAVE TO APPLY?-
For new discharges or significant changes to an existing discharge, you must submit the application at least 180 days in advance of the proposed date of discharge or significant change (Rule 2106). Permits are generally issued for five years, at which time an updated application must be submitted. For reissuance of an existing permit, you must submit.the completed application form and the necessary attachments 180 days prior to the expiration date of your current hermit (Rule 2151(1)).
It is strongly recommended, especially prior to submitting an initial application or an application for a Rule 2218 authorization, that you request a pre-application meeting with staff of the Groundwater Section, Water Division.
Technical staff will be available to discuss the proposed discharge, and can answer questions and provide information to you regarding such items as treatment alternatives, hydrogeologic studies, waste characterization, etc. It is recommended that you and/or your consultant be prepared to describe, at least in general terms, the basis of design f6r the proposed or existing wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
To arrange a pre-application meeting, please contact:

517-373-8148 Fax:
517-241-1328
- 2. HOW IS THE FORM ORGANIZED?
The application form is divided into two sections.Section I, pages 14-17, consists of general information that must be filled out by all applicants. (Occasionally, especially for general permits, not every item in Section I will be required, so-please only fill out the applicable portions. For example, if you are applying for a General Permit under Rule 2215 for brine spreading, you would not fill out Item 7 which requests a CMR address).
Section II contains information that must be filled out for specific discharges. An index appears after the general information section of the application, Page 18, which lists all of the specific discharges, Rules 2213 through 2216, and other discharges, covered under Rule 2218, and directs you to the appropriate pages for each particular discharge. Many of the discharges require supporting documentation of one kind or another.
There are guidesheets available, listed on Page 13 as available reference materials, which provide guidance on how to gather and report the information in a manner that is acceptable to the Department. 'This does not preclude you from using alternative methods. It only means that if the guidance is followed very carefully, the methodology for collecting and reporting the information will be acceptable.
- 3. WHO MUST SIGN THE FORM?
The Part 21 Rules have very specific requirements for who must sign an application form. For a corporation, the form must be signed by a principal executive officer of at least the level of vice president, or his/her designated representative, if the representative is responsible for the overall operation of the facility from which the discharge described in the permit application (appropriate documentation must be provided to demonstrate the position and responsibility 'of the designated representative). For a partnership, the form must be signed by a general partner, for a sole proprietorship, by the proprietor. For municipal, state or other public facility, the form must be singed by either a principal executive officer, the mayor, village president, city or village manager or other duly authorized employee.

GeneralInformation,ITEM 11 Cont'd Groundwater and Surface Water Waste Stream Narrative This narrative describes all outfalls discharging to Lake Michigan under NPDES Permit M10005827, and for Outfalls ODD and OOE discharges permitted under Permit M009S8 "Authorization to Discharge."
Flows are based on a review of previous NPDES applications, Plant system descriptions, or previously submitted Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR). The chemical additives described below may include a manufacturer's name as an example of the type of product used in a specific system. Indiana Michigan Power may substitute vendors of chemical additives provided that the chemical ingredients are similar.
Surface water discharge values are based on maximum release rates and volumes, dilution rates are based on a minimum number of pumps running.
OUTFALL 001 - Unit I Circulating Water Discharge Outfall 001 is a non-contact cooling water discharge. The majority of non-contact cooling water (Circulating Water System, -690,000 GPM) is used to condense the steam exhausting from stearm' driven turbines. Non-contact cooling water is drawn from Lake Michigan approximately one-half mile from shore through three 16 ft. diameter tunnels. Water enters the tunnels via intake cribs at an approximate velocity of 1.3 feet per second. The water enters to a forebay where it is screened to remove large debris that may be entrained in the water. It is routed through the Unit I condensers and then discharged to Lake Michigan through a 16 foot diameter tunnel. The water exits the tunnels through high velocity discharges at a rate of approximately 13 feet per second approximately 1/4 mile from shore. Outfall 001 also includes internal Outfalls (as designated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) steam generator Blowdown (OOA, 00B), Plant Heating Boiler (DOC), Reverse Osmosis Unit (OOG), and the Turbine Room Sunmp Emergency Overflow (OOH) described in detail later in this document.
Outfall 001 also may contain the effluent flow from both Units' Essential Service Water (ESW) systems, both Units' Non-Essential Service Water (NESW) system, and monitor tank releases. ESW (-40,000 GPM) is Lake Michigan water taken from the forebay that is used to provide cooling to safety-related equipment. NESW (- I 8,000 GPM) is also Lake Michigan water taken from the forebay used for I
non-contact cooling for various plant systems including oil coolers, a source of water for the demineralized makeup system (MUP), and a water supply for non-safety related equipment. Monitor tank releases
(-15,000 to 20,000 gallons per event) are regulated by the NRC and consist of wastewater fromvarious system and equipment leakage that may be generated within the auxiliary building area. Minor leakage from systems containing lube oil, hydrazine, carbohydrazide, ethanolamine or closed-loop cooling systems containing a maximuim concentration of gluteraldehyde (100 ppm), methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm),
tolyltriazole (60 ppm), M olybdate (1000 ppm), and nitrite (1200 ppm), may be discharged via monitor tank releases.
The non-contact cooling water for the Circulating Water, the ESW and the NESW, and Miscellaneous Sealing and Cooling Water Systems is treated for biological control using sodium hypochlorite. This same water is periodically treated using a non-oxidizing biocide to eradicate zebra mussels from the cooling systems. The biocides (Betz Spectrus CT-1300, Betz CT4, Calgon H-130M, Calgon EVAC and NALCO Macro-Trol 9380) are all polyquats, and are used as required to protect plant systems while meeting water quality based effluent limits. The treatments can be directed to various critical plant systems froni the intake structures through the entire plant cooling systerm, including the Circulating Water System, ESW and NESW systems and other non-contact cooling water. The biocide may be added to the systems via a chemical injection pipeline through a ring header located inside the intake crib, or directly applied at a specific system A chemical injection pipeline is installed inside the intake piping and is designed to feed chemicals from inside the plant. The intake chemical injection header may be stored with chemical inside the pipe to prevent zebra mussel infestation. The header may also be leak checked using approved dyes such as fluorescein, or other indicators such as Nalco Trasar 23299. Non-contact cooling systems biocide treatments are dependent upon zebra mussel infestation. Concentrations and chemical feed points are chosen to minimize the amount of biocide required and to maximize the efficacy on zebra mussels.
Bentonite clay may be added to detoxify the biocide prior to discharge. The plant non-contact cooling water systems may be treated concurrently or individually to allow more efficient use of chemicals. Plant systems are treated to assure safe operation of the nuclear generating units.
The piping used to apply chemicals is regularly cleaned of calcium carbonate scale buildup. A small amount of weak acid cleaner such as Betz FerroQuest FQ LP 7200 may be used to remove accumulated 2
carbonate scale deposits. The accumulated deposits will be discharged via Outfalls 001/003. Circulating water will dilute the weak acid prior to discharge to Lake Michigan.
2
Condensate flushes are performed periodically to purge the plant's secondary water system from layup chemistry specifications during shutdown conditions to startup chemistry specifications prior to startup of the unit. Water containing up to 4 ppm hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H], 10 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent), 100 ppm ethanolarmine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001), is overboarded to Outfall 001 as required to remove contaminants to meet desired startup secondary Chemistry specifications. This flowvrate averages 70 GPM, but may reach 600 GPM for short periods of time. The flowrate is dependent on chemistry specification parameters and makeup water availability. The maximum output from the MUP is approximately 600 GPM or 864,000 GPD. (See Outfalls OA, QOB for further description.)
Monitor tanks receive treated water from the auxiliary building radioactive waste removal system and other sources such as ice production and removal processes from the ice condenser systems and other radioactively contaminated wastes generated at the facility. This system handles wastes generated from the reactor coolant pump seal leakoffs, the refueling cavity water, equipment leaks, floor drains, valve stem leakoffs, system sampling, and waste sample solutions. It also handles laboratory wastes from the radiochemistry analysis in the hot chemical laboratory, system equipment drains, non-contact cooling water, ice production/removal and decontamination processes and any contaminated liquid waste generated in the auxiliary building area. The wastes are collected in one of several tanks and are treated when enough water is collected. The treatment utilizes a dernineralizer system to minimize radioactive contaminants. A small amount of wastewater may bypass the treatment because it cannot be processed by resin.
Other special drains of non-radioactive process water systems such as Component Cooling Water system flushes withl biocides such as gluteraldehyde (100 ppm), methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm), tolyltriazole (60 ppm), Molybdate (1000 ppm) and nitrite (1200 ppm), and borated icemaking/ice removal operations, can be routed directly to the plant's monitor tanks without treatment. For maintenance purposes to prevent microbial growth, Component Cooling Water flushes are performed generating approximately 281,000 gallons per year of flushwater to the monitor tanks.
Borated icermaking/ice removal operations occur for maintenance of the plant's ice condenser systems. This process produces a solution of sodium tetraborate (approximately 2200 ppm as boron) that can be drained to the monitor tanks. This process takes place approximately every 18 months and may produce up to 30,000 gallons of sodium tetraborate solution.
3
Both the treated wastewater and the special drains are accumulated in the monitor tanks and sampled to ensure the waste meets the radiological requirements prior to being discharged into the Circulating Water System.
Periodically, due to equipment leaks and'or system upsets, a waste stream is generated that contains radioactively contaminated ethylene glycol and water. Incidental amounts of ethylene glycol generated from equipment leaks may be drained directly to the monitor tanks or treated by the radwaste processing systemn Small amounts of ethylene glycol may be discharged to outfalls 001, 002, or 003.
Sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) is utilized in the non-contact cooling water systems at the plant to detect leaks in various components such as the condensers. The gas is injected in the cooling water stream and discharged to outfalls 001, 002 or 003 at less than 54 upll.
Aryl sulfate liquid (NALCO Trasar 23299) is utilized in the non-contact cooling water systems at the plant to determine flow through various parts of the system. The liquid is injected into the service water system to reach a target concentration of approximately 2 mg/l The service water is discharged to Outfalls 001, 002, or 003, which would, in turn, discharge at less than 0.15 mg/I. The liquid is also injected into the circulating water system to Teach a target concentration of approximately 2 mg/L.
Control Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) testing: Approximately 1440 gallons/yr. of CRAC water may mix with ESW and then be discharged to the forebay during a monthly test of the system CRAC water is demineralized water, and may contain up to: 2000 ppm nitrite [Calgon LCS 60, Betz Corrshield NT 4205, BETZ CORRSHIED NT 4201, Betz Corrshield NT 4203, or equivalent], 100 ppm gluteraldehyde [from Betz Biotrol 107 (Spectrus NX 1105), Calgon H-300, or equivalent], 60 ppm tolyltriazole [from Calgon LCS-60, Betz Copper-Trol Cu-I, Betz CorrshieldNT 4205, BETZ CORRSHIED NT 4201, Betz Corrshield NT 4203, or equivalent], 10 ppm methyl (bis) thiocyanate (from Betz 3610), 1000 ppm molybdate from Betz Corrshield MD 4103 and 25 ppm aryl sulfate (from NALCO 22199).

Three roadway storm drains route small amounts of storrmwater from a small section of roadway that traverses over the Circulating Water Forebay. The three storm drains are designed to route accumulated stormwater from this small roadway to the forebay below. A small amount of de-icing compound used on this section of road could potentially enter these small (Approximately 8") gratings. Screened material collected from the plant's intakes is also stored in this area in designated trash dumpsters. Fish exudiates are now drained to the forebay as recomnmended by the MDEQ stormwater and NPDES inspection team (M. Fields and J. Molloy 1997).
During upset conditions it is possible to overflow the contents of the Turbine Room Sump (See Outfall 00H) to Outfalls 001, 002 and/or 003 if the flow path to the on-site absorption pond cannot be used.
OUTFALL 002 - Unit 2 Circulating Water Discharge Outfall 002 is a non-contact cooling water discharge. The majority of non-contact cooling water (Circulating Water System, -920,00 GPM) is used to condense the steam exhausting from steam driven turbines. Non-contact cooling water is drawn from Lake Michigan approximately one-half mile from shore through three 16 ft. diameter tunnels. Water enters the tunnels via intake cribs at an approximate velocity of 1.3 feet per second. The water enters to a forebay where it is screened to remove large debris that may be entrained in the water. It is routed through the Unit 2 condensers and then discharged to Lake Michigan through an I S foot diameter tunnel. The water exits the tunnels through high velocity discharges at a rate of approximately 13 feet per second approximately 1/4 mile from shore. Outfall 002.also includes internal Outfalls (as designated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) steam generator Blowdown (OOA, 00B), Plant Heating Boiler (QOC), Reverse Osmosis Unit (OOG), and the Turbine Room Sump Emergency Overflow (OOH) described in detail later in this document.
Outfall 002 also may contain the effluent flow from both Units' Essential Service Water (ESW) systems, both Units' Non-Essential Service Water (NESW) system, and monitor tank releases. ESW (-40,000 GPM) is Lake Michigan water taken from the forebay that is used to provide cooling to safety-related equipment. NESW (-1S,000 GPM) is also Lake Michigan water taken from the forebay used for 5
non-contact cooling for various plant systems including oil coolers, a source of water for the demineralized makeup system (MUP), and a water supply for non-safety related equipment. Monitor tank releases
(-15,000 to 20,000 gallons per event) are regulated by the NRC and consist of wastewater from various system and equipment leakage that may be generated within the auxiliary building area. Minor leakage from systems containing lube oil,.hydrazine, carbohydrazide, ethanolamine or closed-loop cooling systems containing a maximum concentration of gluteraldehyde (100 ppm), methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm),
tolyltriazole (60 ppm), Molybdate (1 000 ppm), and nitrite (1200 ppm), may be. discharged via monitor tank releases.

Fish exudiates are now. drained to the forebay as recommended by the MDEQ stormwater and NPDES inspection team (M. Fields and J. Molloy 1997).
During upset conditions it is possible to overflow the contents of the Turbine Room Sung (See Outfall 00H) to Outfalls 001, 002 and/or 003 if the flow path to the on-site absorption pond cannot be used.
OUTFALL 003 - Deicing Discharge Outfall 003 is a deicing discharge which is used when water temperatures approach freezing temperatures.
A portion of the flow from Outfall 001 and /or Outfall 002 is directed through the center intake tunnel to temper the intake water and prevent ice buildup on the intake structures w~hich could restrict intake flow.
The velocity at the other two intake structures during de-icing mode increases to approximately 1.9 feet per second. Discharge velocity will be less that 13 feet per second since a portion of the discharge is routed out the center intake tunnel.
The Essential and Non-Essential Service Water System (ESW and NESW) may be recirculated wXith a combination of Circulating Water Pumps in service to raise the forebay temperature to prevent frazil ice formation during cold weather periods. During shutdown conditions when normal operating heat addition is not available, portable heat addition units may be placed in the forebay to prevent frazil ice formations that may prevent flow to safety systems in the plant.
OUTFALL OA - Unit I Steam Generator Blowdown The steam generators (part of the secondary water system) require ultra high purity water for operation.
Makeup water used in the steam generators is withdrawn from the intake forebay (or from Lake Township water supply or a blending of both sources) and treated so most natural impurities are removed through sedimentation, filtration, reverse osmosis, and dernineralization. Impurities concentrate in the steam 9
generators as the water is turned to steam and must be removed to protect the steam turbines and heat transfer surfaces of the steam generators. The impurities are removed by continuously draining a portion of the water from the steam generators in a process called "blowdowxn".
In the steam generator, steam is separated from the water, further heated, and then routed to the turbines.
When the steam separates from the water, the impurities remain in the water, concentrating in the steam generator. Blowdown consists of two forms, a liquid portion (700 gpm max) and a wet steam portion, w hicl is exhausted to the atmosphere. The liquid portion of the steam generator blowdowvn is discharged to the screenhouse forebay either directly (Normal Flash Tank), or after processing through nixed bed demineralizers. Impurities in this discharge may consist of small quantities of insoluble iron and copper or inpurities from the Circulating Water System used to cool the condensers should condenser tube leaks occur. Steam generator additives consist of ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UN1001) for pH adjustment, hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OSS01 0, NALCO 19H] and/or carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) for oxygen scavenging.
When the units are not operating, the steam generators are placed in wet layup conditions to protect against corrosion during storage. Layup water is periodically discharged through the outfall to the Circulating Water Forebay. The layup water contains a maximum concentration of 400 ppm hydrazine [Betz Powerline Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H] and/or 40 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent), and/or 100 ppm ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001). The waste strength of this discharge is reduced through mixing with Outfalls 001, 002, or 003.
During the Sludge Lancing Process, demineralized water or secondary water is used to pressure clean the steam generators during outage periods. The water is recirculated through temporary filters to remove entrained solids. The major constituent of the solids is iron oxide from the steam generators. The water is then returned to the steam generators and can be drained to Outfalls OA, QOB, to Outfall 001, 002, 003, OOD or OOH. The suspended solids are analyzed for radioactivity prior to disposal.
OUTFALL 00B - Unit 2 Steam Generator Blowdown The steam generators (part of the secondary water system) require ultra high purity wTater for operation.
Makeup water used in the steam generators is withdrawn from the intake forebay (or from Lake Township 10
water supply or a blending of both sources) and treated so most natural impurities are removed through sedimentation, filtration, reverse osmosis, and dernineralization. Impurities concentrate in the steam generators as the water is turned to steam and must be removed to protect the steam turbines and heat transfer surfaces of the steam generators. The impurities are removed by continuously draining a portion of the water from the steam generators in a process called "blowdown".
In the steam generator, steam is separated from the rater, further heated, and then routed to the turbines.
When the steam separates from the water, the impurities remain in the water, concentrating in the steam generator. Blowdown consists of two forms, a liquid portion (700 gpm max) and a wet steam portion, which is exhausted to the atmosphere. The liquid portion of the steam generator blowdown is discharged to the screenhouse forebay either directly (Normal Flash Tank;), or after processing through mixed bed demineralizers. Impurities in this discharge may consist of small quantities of insoluble iron and copper or impurities from the Circulating Water System used to cool the condensers should condenser tube leaks occur. Steam generator additives consist of ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001) for pH adjustment, hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H] and/or carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) for oxygen scavenging.
\\Wrhen the units are not operating, the steam generators are placed in wet layup conditions to protect against corrosion during storage. Layup water is periodically discharged through the outfall to the Circulating Water Forebay. The layup water contains a maximum concentration of 400 ppm hydrazine [Betz Powerline Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 119H] and/or 40 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent), and /or 100 ppm ethanolarnine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001). The waste strength of this discharge is reduced through mixing with Outfalls 001, 002, or 003.
During the Sludge Lancing Process, demineralized water or secondary water is used to pressure clean the steam generators during outage periods. The water is recirculated through temporary filters to remove entrained solids. The major constituent of the solids is iron oxide from the steam generators. The wvater is then returned to the steam generators and can be drained to Outfalls OA, QOB, to Outfall 001, 002, 003, QOD or OOH. The suspended solids are analyzed for radioactivity prior to disposal.

OUTFALL bOC - Plant Heatins Boiler A heating boiler (150,000 lb/hr capacity) operates to supply plant heating and auxiliary steam when Unit I and/or Unit 2 are out of service. The boiler is also fired periodically for testing purposes to ensure its availability.
During periods when not in operation, the heating boiler may be stored full of treated boiler water containing up to 400 ppm hydrazine {Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS50IO, NALCO 19H] or 40 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) for oxygen scavenging and or 50 ppm etblanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UMOOl) for corrosion protection.
Prior to use, this "wet lay-up" water is drained to Outfall OOC via blowdown, which discharges to the intake forebay. The volume drained is approximately 600 gallons. This boiler may also be occasionally drained for maintenance activities, approximately 6,000 gallons of treated boiler water would be directed to Outfall OOC or OOD/OOH for such purposes.
Impurities from the boiler water consisting primarily of insoluble iron and copper are discharged via blowdown (30 GPM) to the intake forebay during operation as needed for Chemistry control. Boiler water treatment additives consist of up to 15 ppm ethanolarnine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UMOOI) for pH adjustment, up to 150 ppb hydrazine [Betz Cortro] OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H] and/or 150 ppb carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) for oxygen scavenging and 25 ppm aryl sulfate (from NALCO 22199) for flow testing purposes.
Just after boiler shutdown, the boiler may be placed in dry layup. The boiler contents (up to 6,000 gallons) are drained via blowdown to the intake forebay. Boiler water treatment additives consist of up to 3 ppm ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001) for pH adjustment and up to 150 ppb hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H] andfor 150 ppb carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) for oxygen scavenging. The boiler is then dried out and stored empty. This process saves on chemicals and prevents unnecessary discharge of wet layup chemicals.
A smaller boiler may be installed to provide back-up heat if the permanent heating boiler was out of service. This back-up boiler may be located outdoors on the West Side of the turbine building. The 12
blowdown line is directed to the Unit One forebay, near the same discharge point as the permanently installed heating boiler.
The same boiler treatment chemistry will be maintained in the back-up boiler as is used in the permanent heating boiler. The back-up boiler treatment additives consist of ethanolamine (Betz Powverline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001) for pH adjustment, and hydrazine [Betz Powerline Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OSS010, NALCO 19H] and/or carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) for oxygen scavenging. This boiler may be occasionally drained for maintenance activities, approximately 6,000 gallons of treated boiler water would be directed to Outfall QOC for such purposes. Impurities from the boiler water consisting primarily of insoluble iron and copper are discharged via blowdown (30 GPM maximum) to the intake forebay during operation as needed for Chemistry control.
OUTFALL 00G - Reverse Osmosis System The Reverse Osmosis System (RO) is used to assist in the removal of dissolved solids from the lake water prior to demineralization. Reject water flow is directed to the forebay, which leads to Outfalls 001, 002, and 003. Reject water flowr rates may reach up to 0.360 MGD. The RO system must maintain very clean membranes to assure efficient operation and purity of water. 'Several methods are used to maintain this level of cleanliness from scale and biofouling. Hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is fed at approximately 1.3 GPH continually when the RO is in service to lower the pH to reduce the scaling tendencies of the water. The reject water from the RO unit consists of concentrated Lake Michigan water and a small amount of acid that inhibits scale buildup in the membranes.
Approximately once per month, a flush is performed using approximately 1,000 gallons of a nominal 0.05% hydrochloric acid solution. This is followed with approximately 1,000 gallons of a nominal 0.1%
sodium hydroxide solution. This flush will dissolve any scale that deposits on the membranes. The total amount of flushing solution will average approximately 5,000 gallons per evtent. Sodium bisulfite is used to preserve the membranes during long-term shutdown periods. Approximately 15 lbs. of sodium bisulfite per year is used in this manner.
The chemical cleaning involves several steps and may contain citric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium hydroxide, and a neutral pH detergent. The periodic cleaning process averages approximately 10,000 gallons per event, diverted either to the Turbine Room Sump (Outfall OOH!OOD), through the 13
Neutralization Tank to the Turbine Room Surnp (Outfall 00H/OOD), orbto the Circulating Water Forebay (Outfall 0QI, 002, or 003).
OUTFALL 00H - Turbine Room Sump Emergencv Overflow Utility wastewater from within the plant is discharged via the turbine room sump (TRS) into an on-site absorption pond (Outfall 00D). The normal disposition of these wastewaters is to an on-site absorption pond, which eventually vents via groundwater to Lake Michigan. In the unlikely event that the normal flow path to the absorption pond is not available, the overflow line (Outfall 00H) will direct the TRS flow to the plant's intake forebav. The wastewaters associated with this Outfall include:
NA'astes from the makeup water treatment system.
NEST ': (144,000 GPD) The main contributor to this waste stream is the degassifier pump seal water.
Non-Essential Service Water (NESW) from Lake Michigan supplies the vacuum degassifier pumps which utilize up to 100 GPM to remove non-condensable gases (primarily carbon dioxide and oxygen) from the makeup plant water and exhausts them to the atmosphere.
Pre-filter backlwash: (Estimated 98,000 GPD) Six pre-filters are back-washed with Lake Michigan water to remove the suspended matter captured on the filter media. Alum solution (aluminum sulfate 0.5 lb. per gallon) is added to the pre-filter influent as a flocculent. The alum is added via a coagulant feed pump. Approximately 50 lb./day of alum is used in tlis process. The alum contained in the backwash is discharged in the form of insoluble aluminum hydroxide.
Carbon filter backswash: (Estimated 42,000 GPD) Carbon filters are periodically back-washed with Lake Michigan water to the TRS. These filters primarily remove organics, chlorine and small amounts of iron.
Demineralizer regeneration: (Estimated 50,000 gallons per regeneration) occurs 2-4 times per month when the RO is in service and more often when it is not in service. Dilute sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide used by the system to regenerate the resin. Dilute sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, and contaminates from the demineralization process is discharged to the neutralization tank or TRS. The pH is then adjusted to between 5.5 and 9.0 with sulfuric acid, or sodium hydroxide prior to discharge.
14
MUP Neutralization Tank provides a place for demineralization regeneration wastes, and Reverse Osmosis Unit cleaning flushes to be neutralized prior to being discharged to the TRS and ultimately the absorption pond. When the MUP resin beds are regenerated, up to 50,000 gallons of regeneration chemicals, and backwash wloaters are processed in the neutralization tarnk;. The Reverse Osmosis cleaning flushes average approximately 5,000 gallons per event. When the water is neutralized, it is pumped to the TRS via a 2,000 GPM neutralization waste pump.
The Retention Tank is periodically blown down, discharging small volumes of solid material removed by settling. The retention tank contains a mixture of Lake Township water and filtered Lake Michigan water waiting further processing by the Makeup Plant.
The Reverse Osmosis System (RO) Cleaning. Normal reject water flow is to Lake Michigan via Outfall 00G. The RO system must maintain very clean membranes to assure efficient operation and purity of water. Several methods are used to maintain this level of cleanliness from scale and biofouling. Hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is fed at approximately 1.3 GPH continually when the RO is in service to lower the pH to reduce the scaling tendencies of the water. The reject water from the RO unit consists of concentrated Lake Michigan water and a small amount of acid that inhibits scale buildup in the membranes.
Approximately once per month, a flush is performed using-approximately 1,000 gallons of a nominal 0.05% hydrochloric acid solution. This is followed wNith approximately 1,000 gallons of a nominal
- 0. 1% sodium hydroxide solution. This flush will dissolve any scale that deposits on the membranes.
The total amount of flushing solution will average approximately 5,000 gallons per event. Sodium bisulfite is used to preserve the membranes during long-term shutdown periods. Approximately 15 lbs.
of sodium bisulfite per year is used in this manner.
The chemical cleaning involves several steps and may contain citric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium hydroxide, and a neutral pH detergent. The periodic cleaning process averages approximately 10,000 gallons per event, diverted either to the Turbine Room Sump (Outfall 00H),
through the Neutralization Tank, to the Turbine Room Surmp (Outfall OOH), or to the Circulating Water Forebay (Outfall 001, 002, or 003).
15
WN'aste from miscellaneous processes.
During periods when not in operation, the heating boiler may be stored full of treated boiler water containing at most 400 ppm hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H] or 40 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) for oxygen scavenging and/or 50 ppm ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001) for corrosion protection. Prior to use, this "wet lay-up" water is drained to the TRS. The volume drained is approximately 600 gallons.
The Circulating Water System cooling water contained in the condensers during shutdowns are periodically drained to the TRS. (Six condenser halves and 2 feedpump condensers, approximately 37,000 gallons of lake water per half).
The Component Cooling W ater system (CCW) is periodically drained to allow for equipment inspection, maintenance or repair. This system uses demineralized water from the makeup plant as its source of makeup water along with a maximum of: 1200 ppm nitrite [from Calgon LCS 60, Betz CorrshieldNT 4205, BETZ CORRSHIED NT 4201, Betz CorrshieldNT 4203, or equivalent], 100 ppm gluteraldehyde [from Betz Spectrus NX 1105, Calgon H-300, or equivalent], methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm) [from Betz 3610 or equivalent], 60 ppm tolyltriazole (from Betz Copper-Trol Cu-1, Calgon LCS-60, or equivalent)), 1000 ppm molybdate from Betz Corrshield MD 4103, and 25 ppm aryl sulfate (from NALCO 22199). The infrequent drainings release approximately 60,000 gallons of treated water to the TRS per year.
There are four Emergency Diesel Generators that are each cooled by an Emergency Diesel Generator cooling jacket water system (DJW), which employs chemical control for corrosion with a maximum of 2000 ppm nitrite [Calgon LCS 60 or Betz Corrshield NT 4205, BETZ CORRSHIED NT 4201, Betz Corrshield NT 4203 or equivalent], 100 ppm gluteraldehyde [Betz Spectrus NX 1105, Calgon H-300, or equivalent], methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm) [from Betz 3610 or equivalent], 60 ppm tolyltriazole [Betz Copper-Trol Cu-i, Calgon LCS-60, or equivalent] ), 1000 ppm molybdate from Betz Corrshield MD 4103, and 25 ppm aryl sulfate [from NALCO 22199].
This system is drained through the floor drains to the TRS wvlien maintenance is performed. Each system volume is approximately 1000 gallons. Any system leaks would also be directed to the floor drain during normal operations.
16
Control Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) drains:*Approximately 1440 gallons/yr. of CRAC water is drained to the TRS. CRAC Water is demineralized water, and may contain up to: 2000 ppm nitrite
[Calgon LCS 60, Betz Corrshield NT 4205, BETZ CORRSHIED NT 4201, Betz Corrshield NT 4203 or equivalent], 100 ppm gluteraldehyde [1etz Spectrus NX 1105, Calgon H-300, or equivalent], methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm) [from Betz 3610 or equivalent], 60 ppm tolyltriazole (Calgon LCS-60, Betz Copper-Trol Cu-i, or. equivalent) ), 1000 ppm molybdate from Betz Corrshield MD 4103, and 25 ppm aryl sulfate (NALCO 22199). The system may be flushed with demineralized water, and when completed, corrosion control chemicals will be added back to the system. No additions of corrosion controlling chemicals are done during the demineralized water flush.
The Essential Service Water systems (ESW) and Non-Essential Service Wlater systems (NESW) are also periodically drained to allow for equipment inspection, maintenance, or repair. These drains may discharge Lake Michigan water used for non-contact cooling into the TRS. This water may be chlorinated for zebra mussel control. During some special treatment periods, this water may contain zebra mussel biocides, used as a molluscicide for zebra mussel control. Periodically, components of the ESW or NESW systems may be chemically cleaned to remove iron deposits using vendor supplied cleaning solution such as EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) or ascorbic acid, acetic acid and ammonia. These wastes could either be drained to the TRS or Lake Michigan via Outfall 001, 002, or 003.
During wet lay-up, the steam generators are stored full of water with up to 400 ppm of hydrazine from Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H or 40 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) and 100 ppm ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001) are added for corrosion control. The water may also contain up to 20 ppm boron.
This water is normally drained to surface water via NPDES Outfalls OA or QOB, but may be drained to the TRS in some instances. Drain volume will be approximately 32,000 gallons for each of the unit's four steam generators.
The Miscellaneous Drain Tanks can be aligned to discharge to the TRS. As much as 350,000 gallons per day per unit may be directed to the TRS to control the chemistry limitations on the secondary water systems. Water chemistry is primarily the same as in the steam generators. This type of batch drain occurs in concert with condensate flushing activities, or it may occur during normMl operation to adjust 17
system chemistry. The overboarded water is normal secondary water. It may contain a mixture of ethanolamine, hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H], or carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent). Maximum flows may approach 240 GPM as makeup plant water supplies can deliver.
Condensate flushes are performed periodically to clean up the plant's secondary system prior to startup, and can be discharged to the TRS. Water containing up to 4 ppm hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol.OS5010, NALCO 19H], 10 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent), 100 ppm ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001),
is overboard to the TRS as required to remove contaminants. This flow rate averages 70 GPM, but may reach 600 GPM for short periods of time. The flow rate is dependent on water demands in the plant. Maximum output from the MUP is approximately 600 GPM.
Around the plant, miscellaneous sumps collect an estimated 45,000 GPD of water from various equipment drains (ESW pipe tunnel sump). W'ater and condensate leaks from valves and pumps (Circulating Water condenser pit sumps, ESW pipe tunnel surrp, heater drain pump room sump, screen wash pump room sump, acid and caustic room sumps, elevator pit sumps, screenhouse electrical equipment enclosure stunp) will also be drained to the TRS. Steam jet air ejector drains also are directed to the heater drain pump room sump prior to pumping to the TRS. Betz FerroQuest FQ LP 7200 may be added to this sump to prevent scale buildup.
Iliscellaneous floor drains are located throughout the plant to provide a safe working environment by routing spilled or leaked water to the TRS. The major chemical influx into these drains is from general floor cleaning products used to maintain the floors. Also routed to the TRS through the floor drains are fire protection water, chlorinated Lake Township water, drinking water, cooling water (ESW/NESW), and drains from bioboxes used to monitor the zebra mussel control measures and other chemical control monitors. The bioboxes will discharge chlorine and zebra mussel biocides during periods when the Service Water Systems are treated with previously mention biological control agents.
Chemical feed tank drains (drains are limited to emergencies only). There are eight chemical feed tanks that are approximately 200 gallons each that contain hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H] at approximately 2%, ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001), at approximately 5%, carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or 18
equivalent), approximately 2%. Norm-al process will be to collect these tank volumes to be reused whenever possible.
Chemical cleaning tank drains: During refueling and maintenance outages, the chernical cleaning tank, and or temporary tanks may be used to mix borax (sodium tetraborate ( approximately 2000 ppm as boron) solutions for ice making operations. Small portions of the system may be drained to the TRS. In the unlikely event that a full tank is drained, approximately 3500 gallons Nwill be directed to the TRS.
Non-radiological chemical lab sink and floor drains are routed to the TRS for disposal. The drains carry water and the wastes generated while performing analyses and preparing laboratory standard including those on the attached list. Also discharged will be glassware cleaning and normal laboratory cleaning wastes. The average volume directed to the TRS is estimated to be 500 -1000 GPD.
Secondary sample water from continuous analyzers are routed to drains which discharge to the TRS and/or the miscellaneous drain tank. The analyzers are on the cycles that may contain as much as 150 ppb hydrazine from either a direct feed or (as a breakdown product of carbohydrazide, and 2.5 ppm ethanolamine. The analyzers measure corrosion transport at an average flow of 1440 gallons per day Nvwhen in operation.
Miscellaneous sealing and cooling water (MISCWV) supplies cooling and sealing water to the TRS pumps, Condensate Booster Pumps, Circulating Water Pumps, Vacuum Priming Pumps, Drain Seal Reservoir Tanks, MSCW pump sealing water, screen wash pumps sealing water, and Drain Sample Coolers. The flow per day may reach approximately 576,000 gallons; this water is filtered and chlorinated Lake Michigan water.
Non-essential service water supplies approximately 53,000 GPD of non-contact cooling water to various sample coolers throughout the plant's turbine building.
19
Chemical spills that enter the TRS may be'neutralized within the sump to prevent a discharge to the environment. The potential for spills to the TRS exists for the following chemicals wvith the proposed neutralizers listed:
Chemical Associated Neutralizer Sulfuric acid Sodium hydroxide Sodiumhydroxide Sulfuric acid Sodium hypochlorite Sodium thiosulfate Hydrazine/Carbohydrazide NESW (lake watbr), Hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite.
Etbanolanmine Sodium Hypochlorite, Hydrogen Peroxide, or ozone.
Ethylene glycol Hydrogen peroxide Reduction of hydrazine/carbohydrazide and ETA prior to discharge to thle absorption pond may include additions of chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, or ozone to the Turbine Room Swunp in batches, or to the discharge piping as continuous treatment. A downstream treatment system provided by a vendor may be used to break down the hydrazine/carbohydrazide and ETA.

GROUNDWVATER DISCHARGES OUTFALL QOD - Turbine Room SLup Utility wastewater from within the plant is discharged via the turbine room surrp (TRS) into an on-site absorption pond (Outfall QOD). The normal disposition of these wastewaters is to an on-site absorption pond, which eventually vents via groundwater to Lake Michigan. In the unlikely event that the normal flow path to the absorption pond is not available, the overflow line (Outfall OOH) will direct the TRS flow to the plant's intake forebay. The wastewaters associated with this Outfall include:
Wastes from the makeup water treatment system.
- NES\\: (144,000 GPD) The main contributor to this waste stream is the degassifier pump seal water.

The pH is then adjusted to between 5.5 and 9.0 with sulfuric acid, or sodium hydroxide prior to discharge.
22
I* UP Neutralization Tank provides a place for demineralization regeneration wastes, and Reverse Osmosis Unit cleaning flushes to be neutralized prior to being discharged to the TRS and ultimately the absorption pond. When the MUP resin beds are regenerated, up to 50,000 gallons of regeneration chemicals, and back-wash waters are processed in the neutralization tank. The Reverse Osmosis cleaning flushes average approximately 5,000 gallons per event. When'the water is neutralized, it is plumped to the TRS via a 2,000 GPM neutralization waste pump.
The Retention Tank is periodically blowvn down, discharging small volumes of solid material removed by settling. The retention tank contains a mixture of Lake Township water and filtered Lake Michigan water waiting further processing by the Makeup Plant.

Prior to use, this "wet lay-up" water is drained to the TRS. The volume drained is approximately 600 gallons.
The Circulating Water System cooling water contained in the condensers during shutdowns are periodically drained to the TRS. (Six condenser halves and 2 feedpump condensers, approximately 37,000 gallons of lake water per half).
The Component Cooling Water system (CCW) is periodically drained to allow for equipment inspection, maintenance or repair. This system uses demineralized water from the makeup plant as its source of makeup water along with a maximum of: 1200 ppm nitrite [from Calgon LCS 60, Betz Corrshield NT 4205, BETZ CORRSHIED NT 4201, Betz Corrshield NT 4203, or equivalent], 100 ppm gluteraldehyde [from Betz Spectrus NX 1105, Calgon H-300, or equivalent), methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm) [from Betz 3610 or equivalent], 60 ppm tolyltriazole (from Betz Copper-Trol Cu-I, Calgon LCS-60, or equivalent) ), 1000 ppm molybdate from Betz Corrshield MD 4103, and 25 ppm aryl sulfate (fromNALCO 22199). The infrequent drainings release approximately 60,000 gallons of treated water to the TRS per year.
There are four Emergency Diesel Generators that are each cooled by an Emergency Diesel Generator cooling jacket water system (DJW), which employs chemical control for corrosion with a maximum of 2000 ppm nitrite [Calgon LCS 60 or Betz Corrshield NT 4205, BETZ CORRSHIED NT 4201, Betz Corrshield NT 4203 or equivalent], 100 ppm gluteraldehyde [Betz Spectrus NX 1105, Calgon H-300, or equivalent], methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm) [from Betz 3610 or equivalent], 60 ppm tolyltriazole [Betz Copper-Trol Cu-i, Calgon LCS-60, or equivalent] ), 1000 ppm molybdate from Betz Corrshield MD 4103, and 25 ppm aryl sulfate [from NALCO 22199].
24
This system is drained through the floor drains to the TRS when maintenance is performed. Each system Volume is approximately 1 000 gallons. Any system leaks would also be directed to the floor drain during normal operations.
Control Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) drains: Approximately 1440 gallons/yr. of CRAC water is drained to the TRS. CRAC Water is demineralized water, and may contain up to: 2000 ppm nitrite
[Calgon LCS 60, Betz Corrshield NT 4205, BETZ CORRSHIED NT 4201, Betz Corrshield NT 4203 or equivalent], 100 ppm gluteraldehyde [Betz Spectrus NX I]05, Calgon H-300, or equivalent], methyl (bis) thiocyanate (10 ppm) [from Betz 3610 or equivalent], 60 ppmtolyltriazole (Calgon LCS-60, Betz Copper-Trol Cu-1, or equivalent) ), 1000 ppm molybdate from Betz Corrshield MD 4103, and 25 ppm aryl sulfate (NALCO 22199). The system may be flushed with demineralized water, and when completed, corrosion control chemicals will be added back to the system-L No additions of corrosion controlling chemicals are done during the demineralized water flush.
The Essential Service W ater systems (ESW) and Non-Essential Service WNater systems (NESW) are also periodically drained to allow for equipment inspection, maintenance, or repair. These drains may discharge Lake Micliigan water used for non-contact cooling into the TRS. This wvater may be chlorinated for zebra mussel control. During some special treatment periods, this water may contain zebra mussel biocides, used as a molluscicide for zebra mussel control. Periodically, components of the ESW or NESW systems may be chemically cleaned to remove iron deposits using vendor supplied cleaning solution such as EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) or ascorbic acid, acetic acid and ammonia. These wastes could either be drained to the TRS or Lake Michigan via Outfall 001, 002, or 003.
During wet lay-up, the steam generators are stored full of wvater with up to 400 ppm of hydrazine from Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H or 40 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent) and 100 ppm ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM00l) are added for corrosion control. The water may also contain up to 20 ppm boron.
This water is normally drained to surface water via NPDES Outfalls OA or QOB, but may be drained to the TRS in some instances. Drain volume will be approximately 32,000 gallons for each of the unit's four steam generators.
25
The Miscellaneous Drain Tanks can be aligned to discharge to the TRS. As much as 350,000 gallons per day per unit may be directed to the TRS to control the chemistry limitations on the secondary water systems. Water chemistry is primarily the same as in the steam generators. This type of batch drain occurs in concert with condensate flushing activities, or it may occur during normal operation to adjust system chemistry. The overboarded water is normal secondary water. It may contain a mixture of ethanolamine, hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H], or carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent). Maximum flows may approach 240 GPM as makeup plant water supplies can deliver.
Condensate flushes are performed periodically to clean up the plant's secondary system prior to startup, and can be discharged to the TRS. Water containing tup to 4 ppm hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H], 10 ppm carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent), 100 ppm ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM001),
is overboard to the TRS as required to remove contaminants. This flow rate averages 70 GPM, but may reach 600 GPM for short periods of time. The flow rate is dependent on water demands in the plant. Maximum output from the MUP is approximately 600 GPM.
Around the plant, miscellaneous sumps collect an estimated 45,000 GPD of water from various equipment drains (ESW pipe tunnel sump). Water and condensate leaks from valves and pumps (Circulating Water condenser pit sumps, ESW pipe tunnel sump, heater drain pump room sump, screen wash pump room sump, acid and caustic room sumps, elevator pit suumps, screenhouse electrical equipment enclosure sump) will also be drained to the TRS. Steam jet air ejector drains also are directed to the heater drain pump room sump prior to plumping to the TRS. Betz FerroQuest FQ LP 7200 may be added to this sump to prevent scale buildup.
Miscellaneous floor drains are located throughout the plant to provide a safe working environment by routing spilled or leaked water to the TRS. The major chemical influx into these drains is from general floor cleaning products used to maintain the floors. Also routed to the TRS through the floor drains are fire protection water, chlorinated Lake Township water, drinking water, cooling water (ESW/NESW), and drains from bioboxes used to monitor the zebra mussel control measures and other chemical control monitors. The bioboxes will discharge chlorine and zebra mussel biocides during periods when the Service Water Systems are treated Nwith previously mention biological control agents.
26
Chemical feed tank drains (drains are limited to emergencies only). There are eight chemical feed tanks that are approximately 200 gallons each that.cohtain hydrazine [Betz Cortrol OS5035, Betz Cortrol OS5010, NALCO 19H] at approximately 2%, ethanolamine (Betz Powerline 1440, Betz Powerline 1480, NALCO 92UM00I), at approximately 5%, carbohydrazide (NALCO 1250 plus, or equivalent), approximately 2%. Normal process will be to collect these tank volumes to be reused whenever possible.
Chemical cleaning tank drains: During refueling and maintenance outages, the chemical cleaning tank, and or temporary tanks may be used to mix borax (sodium tetraborate ( approximately 2000 ppm as boron) solutions for ice making operations. Small portions of the system may be drained to the TRS. In the unlikely event that a full tank is drained, approximately 3500 gallons will be directed to the TRS.
Non-radiological chemical lab sink and floor drains are routed to the TRS for disposal. The drains carry water and the wastes generated while performing analyses and preparing laboratory standard including those on the attached list. Also discharged will be glassware cleaning and normal laboratory cleaning wastes. The average volume directed to the TRS is estimated to be 500 -1000 GPD.
Secondary sample water from continuous analyzers are routed to drains which discharge to the TRS and/or the miscellaneous drain tank. The analyzers are on the cycles that may contain as much as 150 ppb hydrazine from either a direct feed or (as a breakdown product of carbohydrazide, and 2.5 ppm ethanolamine. The analyzers measure corrosion transport at an average flow of 1440 gallons per day when in operation.
Miscellaneous sealing and cooling water (IMSCN1) supplies cooling and sealing water to the TRS pumps, Condensate Booster Pumps, Circulating Water Pumps, Vacuum Prining Pumps, Drain Seal Reservoir Tanks, MSCW pump sealing water, screen wash pumps sealing water, and Drain Sample Coolers. The flow per day may reach approximately 576,000 gallons; this water is filtered and chlorinated Lake Michigan water.
27
Non-essential service water supplies approximately 53,000 GPD of non-contact cooling water to various sample coolers throughout the plant's turbine building.
Chemical spills that enter the TRS may be neutralized Nvitbin the sump to prevent a discharge to the environment. The potential for spills to the TRS exists for the followving chemicals Nvith the proposed neutralizers listed:
Chemical Associated Neutralizer Sulfuric acid Sodium hydroxide Sodium hydroxide Sulfuric acid Sodium hypochlorite Sodium thiosulfate Hydrazine/carbohydrazide NESW (lake water), Hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite.
Ethanolamine Sodium Hypochlorite, Hydrogen Peroxide, or ozone.
Ethylene glycol Hydrogen peroxide Reduction of hydrazine/carbolydrazide and ETA prior to discharge to the absorption pond may include additions of chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, or ozone to the Turbine Room Sump in batches, or to the discharge piping as continuous treatment. A downstream treatment system provided by a vendor may be used to break down the hydrazine/carbohydrazide and ETA.

Treatment Codes..
Rule 323.22 1 8 Discharge permits Part 4 Treatment Codes Turbine 'Room Sump Outfall OOD The Turbine Room Sump (TRS) provides commingling wastes for neutralization and discharge to Outfall OOD. An on-line pH controller and isolation valve ensures that the effluent discharge is within permit limits for pH (Blb). Dilute acid or caustic is added to the wastewater to achieve a pH level required for discharge. The effluent is discharged to an on-site absorption pond, where it percolates into the ground (A-ID. Non contact cooling water, air compressor condensate also discharges to the TRS. Flow measurement, visual observation and sampling is required under the current permit.
- AIUP Neutralization Tank provides a place for demineralization regeneration wastes, and Reverse Osmosis Unit cleaning flushes to be neutralized prior to being discharged to the TRS and ultimately the absorption pond. When the MUP resin beds are regenerated, up to 50,000 gallons of regeneration chemicals, and backwash waters are processed in the neutralization tank;. The Reverse Osmosis cleaning flushes average approximately 5,000 gallons per event. When the water is neutralized, it is pumped to the TRS via a 2,000 GPM neutralization waste pump.
Demineralizer regeneration: (Estimated 50,000 gallons per regeneration) occurs 2-4 times per month when the RO is in service and more often when it is not in service. Dilute sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide are used by the system to regenerate the resin. Dilute sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, and contaminates from the dernineralization process are discharged to the neutralization tank or TRS. The pH is then adjusted to between 5.5 and 9.0 with sulfuric acid, or sodium hydroxide prior to discharge.
Chemical spills that enter the TRS may be neutralized within the sump to prevent a discharge to the environment. The potential for spills to the TRS exists for the following chemicals with the proposed neutralizers listed:
Chemical Associated Neutralizer Sulfuric acid Sodium hydroxide Sodium hydroxide Sulfuric acid Sodium hypochlorite Sodium thiosulfate Hydrazine/Carbohydrazide
Ethanolarmine Sodium Hypochlorite, Hydrogen Peroxide, or ozone.
Ethylene glycol Hydrogen peroxide
Reduction of hydrazine and ETA prior to discharge to the absorption pond may include additions of chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite; hydrogen peroxide, or ozone to the Turbine Room Sump, in batches, or to the discharge piping as continuous treatment. A downstream treatment system provided by a vendor may be used to break down the hydrazine and ETA.
OUTFALL OOE - Sanitarv Waste Discharges The sequencing batch reactor is maintained by licensed operators under contract to Indiana Michigan Power. The contract manager is also a licensed wastewater operator. The system operates at a designed flow of 50,000 GPD with a maximum flow capacity of 60,000 GPD. The Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) system treats the wastewater using the activated sludge process (C-3a and C-3b). The treated effluent discharges to an effluent tank where it can be filtered (A-2b) prior to discharge to one of two seepage lagoons (A-lf). The lagoons discharge into the groundwater with the ultirate disposition venting to Lake Michigan. The sludge removed from the digester tank basins is taLen to a local POTW (public owned treatment works) for disposal or dewatered and disposed as low level radioactive waste.
To aid in the settling process, flocculents such as ferric chloride, pH controllers such as magnesium hydroxide, or polymers (such as Axchem AF4500) are added to the process. To selectively enhance biosolids, bioaugmentation nutrients (such as Bioprime Dosfolat) are added to the process. This is a nutrient that encourages the growth of beneficial microbes in the activated sludge. -Sodium hypochlorite is added in small amounts to the process to control filamrentous bacteria growth if needed.
Sodium hypochlorite and detergent are also added to the sand filters to clean them periodically. These are then back-washed into the equalization basin to be reprocessed by the SBR treatment process.
Colmliance with rule 2222:
These plant discharges meet the requirement of R323.2222.2.ii by complying with the effluent standards of part 2222, groundwater standards of part 2222, or both. A single exception exists for iron concentration in monitoring well EW13 where iron fouling bacteria are naturally present in the groundwater. Plant effluent is in compliance with the groundwater standard for iron, but naturally occurring iron bacteria shows up in one of the monitoring wells. Upgradient monitoring well EW-8 monitoring history shows Mercury levels at 0.0035 ugfl. The remaining monitoring wells are below the 0.0013 ug/l limit. This is not a permit exceedence since there are no limits on upgradient wells.

History of CNPs Compliance with Effluent and Groundwater Permit Limits and Sampling Frequency.
Cook Nuclear Plant's groundwater discharges are in compliance with the effluent limits established in the Groundwater Permit M00988. There were a few problems dealing with sample contamination in Method 1631 (low level mercury) in the first round of monitoring which resulted in high levels of mercury being detected but these problems did not repeat in subsequent sampling. Iron fouling bacteria has influenced several wells including the background well. However, in general, concentrations of pollutants in the groundwater are far below the effluent limits and there is no indication that the concentrations of pollutants are trending upward. In fact, there are only four parameters that have concentrations near the groundwater effluent limits (iron, mercury, selenium, and silver). The background well EW-8 shows a similar trend for these four parameters, indicating that the natural groundwater has a potential for exceeding the effluent limits and influencing the monitoring wells.
The history of Cook Nuclear Plants groundwater compliance is discussed in greater detail in the following sections:
- 1. Process Wastewater/Turbine Room Sump Discharge (Ouffall D)......................................................................
00.1
- 2. Sanitary Wastewater (Sequencing Batch Reactor) Discharge (Outfall OOE).......................................................................
2
- 3. Groundwater Monitoring (Wells EW-1A, EW-12. EW-13, EW-19, and Background Well EW-8).....................................................3 The observations made are based on a review of the monitoring data for the years 2002 through 2004.
Monitoring data determined to be less than the Method Detection Limit (MDL) were treated as Y2 the MDL for statistical calculations. (ref USEPA SW846)
- 1. Process Wastewater/Turbine Room Sump Discharge (Outfall OOD).
The Turbine Room Sump discharge is regulated by Part I.A.2. of the permit as follows:
Part i.A.2. Process Wastewater.STP. Lagoons and Seepage Beds Measurement Outfall Parameter Limit Units Frequency Sample Type Flow 2.400,000 gpd Daily Total Sodium (dissolved) mg/O Weekly pH 5.5 to 9.0 Su Continuous Grab 00D Sulfate 250 mgWeekly EQ-1 Carbohydrazide/Hydrazine NA Weekly Grab Ethanolamine NA Weekly Grab Oil NA Daily Visual Observation
- = 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> composite samples.
Monitoring data for the Turbine Room Sump Discharge are summarized in Tables I & 2.
Flow is typically less than 500,000 gpd with an average of 0.284 MGD.
Sodium in the discharge ranged from 2.3 to 691 mg/I and averaged 23.7 mg/I. The sodium discharge is the result of regenerating ion exchange resins. Both cation and anion resins are regenerated and the spent regeneration solutions neutralize each other in the turbine room sump, or pumped to the neutralization tank where they are neutralized. The treated effluent is controlled by an in line pH monitor that prevents discharges less than pH 6.3, and greater than pH 8.2 values.
As discussed above, the pH of the turbine room sump discharge is dependent upon the regeneration of the ion exchange resins. The cation resin is regenerated with sulfuric acid and the anion resin is 1
regenerated with sodium hydroxide. The pH of the resultant mixture of spent regeneration solutions in the turbine room sump generally ranges from 6.3 to 8.2 S.U. Sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide to adjust pH prior to pump to TRS or absorption pond.
Sulfate in the discharge ranged from 17 to 840 mg/I and averaged 67 mg/I. As discussed above, the sulfate discharge is the result of regenerating ion exchange resins. The sulfate concentration exceeded 250 mg/I in 8 of 163 observations. 95% of all the observations are below the 250 mg/I effluent limit.
Carbohydrazide is used as a replacement for hydrazine for safe handling reasons. The carbohydrazide converts to Hydrazine, carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the plant's steam cycle. Hydrazine in the effluent ranged from 2 to 18,700 ug/. The average discharge concentration was 389 ug/l and 90% of all the observations are less than 164 ug/l.
Ethanolamine in the effluent ranged from 0.4 to 81.3 mg/I. The average discharge concentration was 2.9 mg/I and 95% of all the observations are less than 7 mg/L.
There is no indication that the concentrations of pollutants are trending upward at GW well 12.
The TRS is designed with the discharge piping outlets/pumps at the bottom of the tank. This configuration will allow spilled oil to remain in the TRS to be recovered instead of being discharged to the environment. The sump has a working capacity of approximately 82,855 gallons.
The absorption pond receives the effluent from the TRS. A solar powered mixing pump recirculates the pond's contents to ensure proper mixing and additional biological treatment.
- 2. Sanitary Wastewater (Sequencing Batch Reactor) Discharge (Outfall OOE).
The sanitary wastewater discharge is regulated by Part l.A.2. of the permit as follows:

Monitoring data for the sanitary wastewater discharge are summarized in Tables 3 & 4.
The maximum flow through the sewage treatment plant was 45,680 gpd which is below the design flow of 60,000 gpd.
The sequencing batch reactors reduce the BOD5 concentration by about 98% (far better than the 85%
reduction requirement). The maximum concentration of BOD5 in the discharge was 13.8 mg/I and the highest monthly average concentration was 6.9 mg/l.
2
The maximum concentration of Total Inorganic Nitrogen (TIN) was 51.0 mg/I compared to the effluent limit of 85 mg/l. The highest monthly average concentration of TIN was 45.6 mg/I compared to the effluent limit of 50 mg/L. There is no upward trend.
The limitation for ammonia nitrogen is an 85% reduction from the influent level. Based on the maximum amount of ammonia, the percent reduction is 87.3%. Based on the monthly average amount of ammonia, the percent reduction is 95.9%.
Total phosphorus is consistently below the 15 mg/I effluent limit. The maximum concentration of phosphorus in the discharge was 9.3 mg/I and the monthly average concentration was 4.8 mg/I.
pH in the sewage treatment plant ranged from 6.9 to 8.8 S. U. No pH adjustments to the effluent are required.
The maximum concentration of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in the discharge was 46.0 mg/I and the highest monthly average concentration was 8.6 mg/I. The limitation for TSS is an 85% reduction from the influent level. Based on the maximum amount of TSS, the percent reduction is 92.6%. Based on the monthly average amount of TSS, the percent reduction is 98.1%.
- 3. Groundwater Monitoring (Wells EW-1A, EW-12, EW-13, EW-19, and Background Well EW-8).
The groundwater is regulated by Part l.B.2. of the permit as follows (limitations are for Wells EW-1A, EW-12, EW-13, EW-19):

Quarterly Grab Ethanolamine 2 mg/I Quarterly Grab The groundwater monitoring data is summarized in Tables 5 through 9.
In general, the concentration of chemical constituents in the groundwater are far below the groundwater limitations (in many cases by more than one order of magnitude). Therefore, only the exceptions are discussed.
Total Inorganic Nitrogen (TIN)
The maximum TIN concentration at Well EW-1A is 4.87 mg/I compared to the effluent limit of 5.0 mgfl.
However, the average maximum concentration is 2.49 mg/. Well EW-1A is the only well with a high concentration of TIN. The well with the next highest concentration is the background well EW-8. There is no upward trend in the data for any of the wells.
Iron Wells EW-13 and EW-19 show high concentrations of iron due to iron fouling bacteria. The highest concentration of iron detected in Well EW-13 was 5.79 mg/I. The highest concentration of iron detected in Well EW-19 was 1.73 mg/I. Both Wells EW-13 and EW-19 are off-gradient wells near the extremities of the plant property. Well EW-8, the background well, also shows a high concentration of iron, although much lower than that of Wells EW-13 and EW-19. The maximum concentration of iron at Well EW-8 is 0.11 mg/I. The natural groundwater appeared to have a tendency to support iron fouling bacteria which has a potential influence on the Cook Nuclear Plant monitoring wells.
Mercury The mercury effluent limit (0.0013 ug/l) was exceeded once at Well EW-1A and once at Well EW-12.
Each of these exceedences was during the first sampling event and may have been due to contamination during sampling. Sampling was performed using a new low level mercury procedure, Method 1631.
Resampling and subsequent sampling at these wells showed that mercury is in compliance with the mercury groundwater effluent limit. In contrast, all samples taken at the background well EW-8 exceed the groundwater standard.
4
Selenium Selenium is generally less that the method detection limit (MDL). However, since the MDL is very close to the groundwater standard, results of the statistical analysis indicate a potential to exceed the standard.
However, because selenium is generally less than detectable and there is no upward trend, selenium should not be a concern. Again, the greatest concentrations were found in the background well EW-8.
Silver Silver was always less that the method detection limit (MDL). Since the MDL is very close to the groundwater standard, results of the statistical analysis indicate a potential to exceed the standard.
However, because silver is always less than detectable and there is no upward trend, silver should not be a concern.
