PSEG Nuclear LL*C - Salem Generating Station NJPDES Permit No. NJ0005622" NJDEP Case No. 12-0326-171251 Follow up Report
Dear Sir/Madam:
As a follow up to the call made to the NJDEP hotline at 5:12 pm on 03/26/2012 and assigned case 12-0326-171251, PSEG Nuclear LLC ("PSEG Nuclear") is submitting this update concerning a reported release of approximately 1,500 to 2,000 gallons of raw sewage via outfall DSN 487 which discharges stormwater to the Delaware River. This release was also reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to that agency's reporting requirements.
PSEG conducted an investigation in accordance with our problem identification and resolution process. The summary result of this investigation indicates that the volume of raw sewage that was released via DSN 487 to the Delaware River was < 300 gallons and not 1,500 to 2,000 gallons as originally estimated. The raw sewage overflowed from sewage manhole 22A and traveled to Storm Drain Manhole #8 located approximately 10 feet from Sewage Manhole 22A. Storm Drain MH8 drains to DSN 487 which discharges to the Delaware River.
The discha'rge was secured with a combination of sand bags and absorbent boom to block the flow into MH8.. The approximate start time of the discharge was 13:20 on 03/26/2012.. Th*e discharge stop time was 15:20 on 03/26/2012.
