Dear Permittee:
The Department issued your final New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) permit renewal on December 31, 2002. As you know, a clarification was issued on February 24, 2003 to change the expiration date from February 31, 2008 to February 29, 2008. It has come to our attention that certain other permit conditions need clarification. Therefore, this administrative modification serves to change the following permit conditions:
Delete the storrnwater monitoring requirements indicated on page 1 of 16 of Part III. Although these requirements were included in the draft permit issued on November 7,2002, it was clearly the Department's intent to delete these requirements in any final permit action and the inclusion of these requirements was clearly an error. This is discussed on page 8 of the Response to Comments document included in the December 31, 2002 final permit action.
Delete Attachment 1. Specific stonnwater requirements are included in Part N where the language in Part :rv is either identicai to Attachment j or, in instances where the language is slighdy reworded, the intent is the same. It is redundant to include both the stonnwater conditions of Part N and Attachment 1 and serves to complicate the permit. As a result, Attachment 1 has been deleted.
Please replace Pllrt III, pa.ge 1 of 16 and Attachment 1 with the enclosed "placeholder" sheets. Questions or comments regarding the final action should be addressed to Susan Rosenwinkel at (609) 292-4860.

I.
Gabor Salamon, Manager-Nuclear Safety and Licensing, PSE Nuclear LLC in a letter dated December 24, 2002.
A summary of the timely and significant comments received, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection'S (Department) responses to these comments, and' an explanation of any changes from the draft action have been included below:
Comments on Chemical-Specific Conditions (orOut(alls DSNs 461A, 461C, and 462B Fact Sheet, Section 5, page 5 0(28 - Station Outfalls and Discharge Components Comment 1: The draft permit states that "[While] the permittee's storm water discharges are currently regulated under Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan requirements, the Department has determined it appropriate to regulate the stormwater discharges under the General Stormwater Permit NJ0088315 which will be issued upon finalization of this draft renewal permit.". PSEG Nuclear LLC ("hereafter PSEG") believes it is not appropriate to regulate the stormwater discharges under the General Stormwater Permit concurrent with the stormwater requirements contained in this individual NJPDES permit. The permit application requested continued regulation under the Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan requirements and those requirements appear to be continued, though modified, in the Draft permit. PSEG requests the sentence quoted above be deleted.
Response 1: The Department agrees that the inclusion of this sentence was made in error. The permittee is correct in that this subject permit contains individual stormwater requirements as noted throughout the rest of the permit.. This clarification is hereby noted for the Administrative Record.
Fact Sheet, Section 5, page 7 of 28 - Yard Drains (DSN's 463A, 464A, 465A)
Comment 2: The Department has renamed outfall DSN 462A as outfall DSN 465 because the NJEMS database will not accept both DSN 462A and DSN 462B. DSN 462B has been retained because it has a regulatory history where limits and monitoring conditions have been set and data have been collected.
PSEG reminds the Department that DSN 462A also has a regulatory history where limits and monitoring conditions were set and data have been collected for the period October 1985 through March 1997.

Environmental Report Appendix B NPDES Permit Hope Creek Generating Station Page B-13 License Renewal Application Response to Comments Page 2 of8 Permit No. NJ0025411 to the reason noted above. Therefore, no changes to the final permit have been made as a result of this
. comment, although the Department notes this information for the Administrative Record.
Fact Sheet. Section 8.B. page 10 oi28 - DSN 461A Comment 3: The Department has changed the frequency for monitoring Chlorine Produced Oxidants (CPO) from three times per week to continuous monitoring. The data collected during the three times per week monitoring conducted by PSEG during the term of the existing permit demonstrates that CPO is not normally present in the discharge as indicated in the Permit Summary Table at page 18 of 28. PSEG believes continuous monitoring is not warranted and periodic grab sampling is more appropriate.
PSEG has responsibly performed an evaluation to determine the CPO concentration when there was a reason to believe unmonitored CPO may have been discharged. In June 2000, a discharge occurred that contained sodium hypochlorite at a time that no eftluent monitoring was in progress. PSGEG notified the Department, conducted an internal investigation, and performed calculations to determine the concentration of CPO in the eftluent. CPO was determined to be within the limitations of the NJPDES Permit. Although a continuous monitoring device would have precluded the need for PSEG to calculate the effluent CPO concentrations, a continuous monitoring device would not have changed the eftluent concentration.
Continuous chlorine analyzers were installed to monitor the cooling tower blowdown (DSN 461 A) until 1997, when the Department modified the requirement for CPO monitoring to three times per week. The inherent difficulty of maintaining analyzer operations in this region of the Estuary was demonstrated during this period of continuous monitoring. The two primary methods for continuous chlorine analysis are amerometric and specific-ion electrode. The high suspended solids and silt concentrations present in the Estuary tend to clog instrument flow pats and specific ion electrode membranes. The abrasiveness of the silt also causes excessive wear on moving components such as pumps and valves. These factors limit the effectiveness of continuous chlorine analyzers because of the extensive routine and corrective maintenance.
PSEG requests the continuous monitoring requirement be deleted. If the three times per week current sampling program is inadequate, PSEG recommends modifying the sample frequency to daily (seven days per week).
Response 3: The Department maintains that a continuous sampling frequency is appropriate for DS1'J 461 A. This discharge is continuously chlorinated and is of a significant volume. In addition, the Department notes that there was a unanticipated discharge of chlorine produced oxidants in June 2000.
Although the Department agrees that the installation of continuous chlorine monitors may not have prevented this discharge. the presence of continuous chlorine monitors could have better evaluated the amount of chlorine produced oxidants in the discharge in comparison to an evaluation by calculations.
No changes to the permit have been made as a result of this comment.
Fact Sheet, Section 8.B, page 11 of28 - DSN 461A Comment 4: The last paragraph indicates that effluent limitations for oil and grease have been included at DSN 461A. For clarification, the parameter limited at DSN 46lC equivalent to oil and grease is total petroleum hydrocarbons.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.B, page 11 of28 - DSN 461A Comment 4: The last paragraph indicates that effluent limitations for oil and grease have been included at DSN 461A. For clarification, the parameter limited at DSN 46lC equivalent to oil and grease is total petroleum hydrocarbons.
Environmental Report Appendix B NPDES Permit Page B-14 Hope Creek Generating Station License Renewal Application Response to Comments Page 3 of8 Permit No. NJ002S411 Response 4: The permittee is correct in noting that total petroleum hydrocarbons is limited at DSN 461 C; therefore, this sentence on page 1 1 erroneously identifies oil and grease as opposed to total petroleum hydrocarbons. The Department has correctly noted that total petroleum hydrocarbons is limited at DSN 461 C as indicated on page 5 of Part III as well as on pages 12 and 19 ofthe Fact Sheet.
TIle Department hereby notes this clarification pertaining to page II for the Administrative Record.
Because the correct parameter is included on page 5 of Part III, no changes to the final permit are necessary as a result of this comment.
Fact Sheet. Section S.h., page 13 of28 - DSN 462B Comment 5: The Department has incorporated a monthly average concentration limit for BODS of 30 mgIL and a weekly limit of 45 mgIL as DSN 4628. PSEG believes these new limitations are not appropriate for this discharge. The reference to N.J.A.C. 7: 1 4A-12.2(b) is not appropriate since DSN 462B discharges to DSN 461A and, therefore, DSN 462B is not a "direct discharge". NJ.A.C.7:14A-12.2 is only applicable to a direct discharge. Upon completion of the rerouting of the DSN 462B discharge to DSN 461A, this is an internal monitoring point and not a direct discharge (1997 Permit Fact Sheet, page 60 of 86).
The Department indicates these limitations are particularly appropriate where the flow volumes fluctuate over time. The effluent flow from DSN 462B for January 2001 through February 2002 was an average of 0.01 MGD and a maximum of 0.03 MGD, and for the period of April 1997 through March 2001 the effluent flow was an average of 0.02 MGD and a maximum of 0.07 MGD (Permit Summary Table, page 200f28). The maximum effluent flow during that five year period was only 25% of the design flow of the sewage treatment plant (0.28MGD) and the range of values does not indicate a highly variable flow that would warrant imposition of additional limitations. The monthly minimum Percent Removal of BODS limitation of 87.5% (more stringent than NJ.A.C. 7: 14A-12.2(b) and the monthly average loading limitation for BODS of8 kg/day (based on the DRBC allocation) have been adequate since the 1985 NJPDES Permit and new limitations are not warranted at this time.
Response 5: The Department has determined that the intent ofNJ.A.C. 7: 14A-12.2(b) is that the limitations contained in this regulation pertain to direct discharges to surface water as opposed to discharges to a municipal utilities authority which then discharge to surface waters. Therefore, the Department does not agree that N.J.A.C. 7: 14A-12.2(b) should be interpreted to mean that these limitations are not appropriate for. this internal monitoring point. These secondlY)' treatment limitations set t.~e standard for the level of treatment appropriate for sanitary discharges and the Department maintains that they are appropriate for DSN 461 C since it is a sanitary discharge.
The Department also maintains that concentration limits are particularly appropriate for this discharge given the variable flow rates of influent sanitary wastewater. It is the Department's understanding that the amount of personnel present at the plant can widely fluctuate during refueling outages given the fact that the facility makes use of this time to maintain Station operations which result in the presence of additional Station personnel. Therefore, the Department has determined that both concentration and mass limitations are appropriate for this discharge.
The Department recognizes that the permittee typically discharges well below the design flow rate; however, N.J.A.C. 7: 14A-12.2 does not make exception for this circumstance. The Department also recognizes that the mass limit of 8 kg/day for BODS may be more stringent than the concentration limits at N.l.A.C. 7: 14A*12.2 given certain flow circumstances; however, the Department has determined that it is required to apply these concentration limits.
Response to Comments Page 3 of8 Permit No. NJ002S411 Response 4: The permittee is correct in noting that total petroleum hydrocarbons is limited at DSN 461 C; therefore, this sentence on page 1 1 erroneously identifies oil and grease as opposed to total petroleum hydrocarbons. The Department has correctly noted that total petroleum hydrocarbons is limited at DSN 461 C as indicated on page 5 of Part III as well as on pages 12 and 19 ofthe Fact Sheet.

Fact Sheet, Section S.b, page 13 or28 - DSN 462B Comment 6: The Fact Sheet states that there is a weekly average TSS limitations of 45 mg/L at DSN 4628 in the current permit and thus this limitation was retained. The weekly average TSS limitation was deleted from DSN 462B upon rerouting DSN 462B to discharge to DSN 461A (see 1997 NJPDES Permit, Part HI-B/C,Section I.C.2). The Fact sheet for the 1997 NJPDES Permit states that "the seven-day average limitation of 45 mg/L will be deleted since this will be an internal monitoring point and there will not be a direct discharge". Since the limitation is not retained from the current Permit and DSN 462B is not a direct discharge, PSEG requests the weekly average limitation for TSS be deleted.
Response 6: The Department recognizes that it has incorrectly stated that the weekly average limitation for TSS has been retained from the existing permit. Nonetheless, based on the rationale indicated in Response 5 above, the Department maintains that inclusion of this limit is appropriate based on the secondary treatment standards.
No changes to the permit have been made as a result of this comment.
Fact Sheet, Section 8.K, page 16 or28 - DSN 461A Comment 7: Consistent with the comments above regarding continuous CPO monitoring, if the Department determines that continuous CPO monitoring is not required, the schedule of compliance would not be required.
Response 7: Please refer to Response 3.
Fact Sheet, Section 13, page 20 of 28 Comment 8: The pennit summary table for DSN 462B indicates that there is a 45 mg/L TSS weekly average limitation. As discussed above, the current permit does not contain a weekly average limitation of reporting requirement for TSS.
Response 8: The Department agrees that the 45 mg/L TSS weekly average limitation was deleted in the February 14, 1997 NJPDES Permit as noted in Section I.C.2, Part III-B/C. Nonetheless, the Department has determined it appropriate to include this limitation at this time for the reasons discussed in Response

The weekly average TSS limitation was deleted from DSN 462B upon rerouting DSN 462B to discharge to DSN 461A (see 1997 NJPDES Permit, Part HI-B/C,Section I.C.2). The Fact sheet for the 1997 NJPDES Permit states that "the seven-day average limitation of 45 mg/L will be deleted since this will be an internal monitoring point and there will not be a direct discharge". Since the limitation is not retained from the current Permit and DSN 462B is not a direct discharge, PSEG requests the weekly average limitation for TSS be deleted.

Environmental Report Appendix B NPDES Permit Page B-16 Hope Creek Generating Station License Renewal Application Response to Comments Page 5 of8 Pennit No. NJ00254 I 1 Comment 10: The Quantification Limit of20 micrograms per iiter for Ammonia Nitrogen (as:N) is not achievable using approved analytical methodologies by the New Jersey Certified Laboratories contacted.
The Department has recognized the challenge of meeting the Recommended Quantitation -Levels (hereafter "RQLs") at the Fact Sheet, Section 8.E., page 14 of28 in stating that "the quantitation levels listed therein can be reliably and consistently achieved by most state certified laboratories for most of the pollutants" (emphasis added). Ammonia Nitrogen appears to be one of the exceptions. The Delaware Estuary in the vicinity of the Station has a background ammonia nitrogen concentration of approximately five to.ten times the proposed RQL. PSEG recommends the RQL for Ammonia Nitrogen be changed to 100 micrograms per liter. Additionally, PSEG requests clarification that the tenn Recommended Quantitation Level as used in this section has the same meaning as the tenn QuantificationLimit as used in Part III of the Penn it, or the Department provide a description of the difference and how these would be applied.
Response 10: The Department agrees that inclusion of the RQL of 20 ug/L was made in error in this section which pertains to the Wastewater Characterization Requirements for DSN 461 C. The Department has deleted the RQL for DSN 461C in this fmal penn it action and has not specified an RQL for ammonia.
For purposes of clarification, the tenn "quantification limit", as used on page 14 of28 of the Fact Sheet, is used interchangeably with the term "recommended quantitation level'; as used on page 6 of 16 of Part III as well as in other areas of the permit.

Permit, Part IV, Section E.l.e, page 3 of 12 Comment 13: PSEG believes the parenthetical limitation following the authorization to utilize sodium hypochlorite is inappropriate. The parenthetical limits sodium hypochlorite usage by stating "although not in excess of two houl'S per day". Sodium hypochlorite is normally continuously added to the systems. PSEG is limited to discharging chlorine produced oxidants to two hours per day from the addition of sodium hypochlorite and meets this requirement by dechlorinating the effluent of the cooling tower blowdown using ammonium bisulfite before discharge. This limitation is contained in Part IV, Section G.l. PSEG request deletion of the parenthetical following the words "sodium hypochlorite".
Response 13: The Department has reviewed the condition in Section B.t.e. and agrees that the parenthetical reference to "although not in excess of two hours per day" is unnecessary given the Response to Comments Page 5 of8 Pennit No. NJ00254 I 1 Comment 10: The Quantification Limit of20 micrograms per iiter for Ammonia Nitrogen (as:N) is not achievable using approved analytical methodologies by the New Jersey Certified Laboratories contacted.
The Department has recognized the challenge of meeting the Recommended Quantitation -Levels (hereafter "RQLs") at the Fact Sheet, Section 8.E., page 14 of28 in stating that "the quantitation levels listed therein can be reliably and consistently achieved by most state certified laboratories for most of the pollutants" (emphasis added). Ammonia Nitrogen appears to be one of the exceptions. The Delaware Estuary in the vicinity of the Station has a background ammonia nitrogen concentration of approximately five to.ten times the proposed RQL. PSEG recommends the RQL for Ammonia Nitrogen be changed to 100 micrograms per liter. Additionally, PSEG requests clarification that the tenn Recommended Quantitation Level as used in this section has the same meaning as the tenn QuantificationLimit as used in Part III of the Penn it, or the Department provide a description of the difference and how these would be applied.
Response 10: The Department agrees that inclusion of the RQL of 20 ug/L was made in error in this section which pertains to the Wastewater Characterization Requirements for DSN 461 C. The Department has deleted the RQL for DSN 461C in this fmal penn it action and has not specified an RQL for ammonia.

. Permit effluent limitations, non-numeric effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other conditions are authorized by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 ~
~.), and the New Jersey State Water PoI\\ution Control Act (N.J.S.A.
58: lOA-I ~
~.). These statutes are implemented by the National Po\\lutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) (40 CFR 122) and the New Jersey PoI\\utant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES)
(N.l.A.C. 7:14A) permit program.
Concerning the permit renewal, the NJDEP is authorized under the federal regulations (40 CFR 122.4) and under NJPDES rules (N.J.A.C. 7: 14A-6.2(b>> to impose BMPs to control and abate the discharge of pollutants. The NJDEP may impose BMPs when BMPs are reasonably necessary to achieve effluent limitations and standards to carry out the purposes and intent of the State and Federal Acts.
Additionally, the NJDEP believes that it is not feasible at this time to establish water quality based effluent limits (WQBEL) for this stormwater discharge. The proposed limitations incorporated in the SPPP are consistent with the NJDEP's and USEPA's Stormwater permitting philosophy of reducing the amount of pollution created and to prevent pollution from occurring in the first place (see 24 N.J.R 2352).
The primary method used in NJPDES Stormwater Permits, since the formation of the Stormwater Permit Program, has been the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Since the inception ofNJDEP's Stormwater Permit Program the approach to the abatement ofpoI\\utants in sto11Dwater has focused on po\\lution prevention rather than end of pipe treatment. The SPPP requirements and monitoring requirements operate as limitations and control on stormwater effluent discharges to prevent stormwater contamination and are intended to achieve Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT). The SPPP focuses on several areas of control, such as inventory, mapping, inspections, schedules and very importantly Best Management Practices (BMPs).
The BMPs incorporated in any facility's SPPP are the primary mechanism used in stormwater management to eliminate the discharge ofpo\\lutants into the State's receiving waters. It has been the position of the NJDEP that in the circumstance when the elimination of contact with source material is not an economically viable option for a facility the NJDEP may require the reduction of the pollutant load using BMPs. This is done through an individual facility permit and would also include a determination that the receiving water quality is not being adversely impacted. This difference between the elimination of pollutants and the reduction of pollutants entering a facility's stormwater runoff is how the NJDEP approaches permitting a facility.

Environmental Report Appendix B NPDES Permit Page B-18 Hope Creek Generating Station License Renewal Application Response to Comments Page 7 ofS Permit No. NJ00254 1 1 The State's Basic industriai Stormwater Discharge Generai Permit ("the General Permit" NJ00883 is) regulates a facility towards achieving the goal of eliminating contact of source material with stormwater runoff, which has been informally referred to as the "no exposure" requirement. The belief being that the greatest environmental benefit would be derived from the complete elimination of exposure of source material. Therefore, the NJDEP Stormwater Permitting Program has structured permits, which are available to the regulated community, with an incentive to apply for the General Permit by having reduced fees and administrative costs, and by eliminating requirements for monitoring/sampling. The reason behind eliminating monitoring in the general permit goes to the premise that if you eliminate the source you eliminate the need to monitor.
Those facilities for various economic reasons who can not comply with the "no exposure" performance standard in the general permit must apply for an individual permit. Individual permits require sampling and monitoring. The main purpose for including sampling and monitoring requirements in an individual stormwater permit is to verify that BMPs are effective in controlling and abating pollutants in the facility's stormwater runoff, and to evaluate whether the discharge is negatively impacting the receiving water.
After review of the facility's SPPP and prior to drafting today's final permit NJDEP contacted the Permittee, PSEG Nuclear LLC ("PSEG"), regarding the option of applying for an authorization under the General Permit. PSEG declined to apply for the General Permit Authorization and requested that storm water continue to be permitted under its individual permit. Based on PSEG's request NJDEP concluded that the Hope Creek facility still has exposed source material that contacts its stormwater runoff and therefore must be regulated based on the policies outlined above. This would include sampling and monitoring of its stormwater discharge, which is why this was included in the proposed permit.
PSEG, has commented that, "The Department reviewed the stormwater study in the October 31, 1996 Draft NJPDES Permit Fact Sheet ("1996 Fact Sheet") and stated that the "stormwater study demonstrated that representative monitoring of stormwater could not be achieved with the existing conveyance system elevations due to tidal intrusion in the system by Delaware River water" (1996 Fact Sheet, Page 6S of 86). The Department further determined that modifications to the existing conveyance system elevatigns were not practical (1996 Fact Sheet, page 65 of86)."
This statement made in the 1996 Fact Sheet was a summary of the conclusions made by PSEG in its stormwater study dated July 13, 1990 and did not represent the opinion of the NJDEP. The opinions expressed by NJDEP regarding the stormwater study and the implementation of capital projects by PSEG actually began with the final paragraph of page 66 of 86 Pages and stated, "As a result of the implementation of the capital projects and the BMP required under the ACO, the average TSS values reported on Hope Creek Generating Station's DMRs since 1992 have consistently been iower than the vaiues reported prior to the instaiiation of the capital projects and the BMP. The NJDEP's Bureau of Stormwater Permitting and the Bureau of Standard Permitting have inspected the site and have determined that the continued use ofBMPs instead of numeric limits is the most appropriate means of regulating the discharge of pollutants from this site in stormwater runoff' (Page 67 of86 Pages)."

Environmental Report Appendix B NPDES Permit Hope Creek Generating Station Page B-19 License Renewal Application Response to Comments Page 80fR Pennit No. NJ0025411
.s the NJDEP's position that the DMR data was representative since the decision to remove the numeric limitations was in part based on the evaluation of the perfonnance of the BMPs using the DMK data as stated in the aforementioned paragraph. As indicated by PSEG, the NJDEP did replace the numeric effluent limitations and monitoring conditions in the existing pennit for the stonriwater outfalls with BMPs and Page 67 of 86 of the fact sheet stated this; "The Department finds that the continuance of the numeric effiuent limitations and monitoring conditions is unwarranted and infeasible based on the following: 1) the tidal intrusion of the Delaware River into the stonnwater conveyance system reported in the stonnwater study submitted by the pennittee in 1990; and 2) the material and substantial changes at the facility implemented between 1989 and 1992 through its capital improvement projects and implementation of the BMPs such as minimization and elimination of contact of source materials with stonnwater runoff.. "
As PSEG noted in its comments, this paragraph does state and confinn PSEG's conclusion that the numeric limitations are unwarranted and infeasible based in part on the tidal intrusion of the Delaware River in the stonnwater conveyance system. However, it does not specifically identify representative sampling as the basis for it being unwarranted and infeasible. The statement does not go into detail as to how the writer arrived at this decision. Notwithstanding, the NJDEP's position rs that the samples collected must have been representative if the numeric limitations were in part removed and replaced with BMPs using "DMR data. In retrospect the NJDEP believes that the statement should have been documented further. In addition, due to the capital project instituted at the facility, which resulted in changes in the management of stonnwater runoff, new representative sample locations and continuous monitoring could have been included in the 1997 final pennit, as per the January II, 1990 Administrative Consent Order (ACO) that states in paragraph 23:
" PSE&G shall develop and implement a Best Management Practices Plan ('BMPP") to control the discharge of suspended solids in stonnwater runoff from the site and a plan of study ("the Study") to detennine the most feasible method by which representative monitoring of stonnwater outfalls 462A, 463A and 464 may be perfonned to account for all applicable sources of stonnwater originating from the site in accordance with the enforcement compliance schedule in paragraph twenty -five (25)."
Additionally, the Draft Fact Sheet noticed on November 19,2002, did state that the stonnwater drainage systems may contain Delaware River water. In consideration of the above mentiened facts, and based on the comments received by PSEG, NJDEP is renewing today's pennit with t\\Ij) stonnwater requirements contained in the 1997 fmal permit. The NJDEP wi!! re-evaluate the infonnation submitted by PSEG regarding the intrusion of water from the Delaware River and representative sampling of the conveyance system; and will inspect the site with PSEG to specifically identify new representative sample locations for the stonnwater discharge from the areas of industrial activity. The pennit will then be modified to include the appropriate sampling and monitoring requirements used for individual pennits to verifY the perfonnance of the BMPs based on the current NJDEP policies outlined in the statements above.

HCH-2007 -107 OPSEG Nuclea:r LLC CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED ARTICLE NUMBER: 7003 0500 000344693860 Ms. Annette DeBlois, Program Technician Bureau of Permit Management Division of Water Quality New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection PO Box 029, 401 East State Street Trenton, New jersey 08625-0029 HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION NJPDES PERMIT NJ0025411 APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL COMPLETED FORM RF
Dear Ms. DeBlois:
I am in receipt of your letter dated September 20, 2007, in which you request that PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG Nuclear) submit a Form RF in supplement to the Hope Creek Generating Station (Hope Creek), NJPDES Renewal Application dated August 30, 2007 (Application).
PSEG Nuclear believes that it was appropriate not to include the Form RF as part of the Application because stormwater discharges at Hope Creek are mixed with industrial nonstormwater discharges that require a NJPDES-DSW permit. The Hope Creek NJPDES Permit has always allowed certain combined stormwater and industrial nonstormwater discharges. Based upon the Instructions for Form RF, that form is not required to be submitted with the Application, instead submit Form C. The stormwater outfaiis are identified in the initial renewal application as Tab uYard Drainsll. The information provided demonstrates that there is a potential for industrial nonstormwater to mix with the discharge and that the primary contributor to the discharge is river water which enters the drainage system through tidal action. Based on the predominance of the tidal influence on the discharge as discussed in the preapplication for thi~ renev,/al application, analytical requirements on the discharge were not required.
Without limiting the foregoing, in order to continue processing the Application in a timely manner, PSEG Nuclear has subrrlltted the enclosed Form RF, v'v'hich continues to identify combined discharges of both stormwater and industrial nonstormater. The submission of this Form RF should not in any way be read to limit or amend PSEG Nuclear's request, as stated in the Application, to renew the Hope Creek NJPDES 95*2166 REV. 7199 PSEG Nu,ciear L[.C P.O.
