Cook Nuclear Plant NPDES Permit No. MI0005827

Dear Mr. Danneffel:

This notification is provided as required by Part II, Section C.6 "Noncompliance Notification" of NPDES Permit MI0005827.

On April 27, 2005, at 0012, a routine visual observation of Internal Outfall OA Unit 1 Steam Generator Blowdown indicated a very slight turbidity from suspended solids, or "unsatisfactory" condition. This is the first "unsatisfactory" condition since we switched from total suspended solids to visual observation for steam generator blowdown samples in the new permit. This is an expected condition as the plant is returned to service from a refueling outage where the steam generators sit stagnant for a period of time. An additional sample was taken April 27, 2005, at 0330, the result of this test was satisfactory. The condition does not pose a threat to the health and safety of the public. Visual observations of both the plants external outfalls 001 and 002 for April 27, 2005 were satisfactory.

Please contact me at (269) 465-5901 ext. 1153 if you have any questions regarding this information.

Sincerely, ohn P. Carlson Environmental Manager c: Mr. John Vollmer - MDEQ 2005-337
