RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes
- Lynnea, Yes that was the information we were looking for and thanks so much for tracking it down.
I noticed the licensee had mentioned the letter from NMFS and their request to be part of the NPDES as a reason for us to step to the side. Just as an FYI, we were aware of the letter as it was actually us in DLR that steered NMFS in that direction. They were requesting that we modify the intake structure but since we don't have the authority to do so we lead them to the agency who could. The water quality reports were the last item on NMFS request for additional information so hopefully providing NMFS with these reports will finalize our consultation.
As far as I know, no official request went out for the Water Quality Reports. I spoke to Dennis Logan, the aquatic biologist, and he did mention he posted his email transmitting those reports to NMFS, onto ADAMS. Perhaps that was the item you saw? Otherwise if it did, it wasn't issued by DLR.
Thanks!

RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes Good afternoon Paula, I have 2 questions for you:
- 1. Was this the information you were requesting?
- 2. I thought I saw an official request for information on this subject last week. Was I mistaken?

RE: REQUEST: Columbia Condenser Tubes Sent on behalf of Zach Dunham -
- Lynnea, The attached National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) provide the requested effluent water quality information following the 2011 replacement of Columbia Generating Station's main condenser.
In a letter dated May 7, 2012, the NMFS Regional Administrator requested that the State of Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) provide the NMFS with the opportunity to evaluate the draft NPDES permit prior to issuance and offer technical assistance regarding federally protected species. Assuming that NMFS has now been provided the opportunity to review and offer technical assistance to EFSEC, I suggest that NMFS work directly with EFSEC to obtain any future NPDES related information requests which may provide a more timely response to their requests.

RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes
- Mohan, Have you by any chance received any information from the licensee on the water quality data?

RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes
- Mohan, I apologize for all the emails.
NMFS has requested additional information regarding the water quality effluent data since the replacement of the tubes. This would be a requirement that the licensee would have as part of their NPDES permit. At this time NMFS is looking for those same quarterly reports. We are attempting to keep the information requests informal and avoid any rigid RAI's.
However, the consultation is no longer part of license renewal so our former EN contact may no longer be appropriate. Do you have a contact at Columbia that I could get in touch with as we go through the last details of this consultation?
I appreciate your assistance and thanks in advance, Paula E.

RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes
- Mohan, You are correct - the replacement tubes are made from titanium.

RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes 3
Zach:
The NRC staff would like to know if the replacement tubes were made from titanium, if not then please describe the tube material. If the information is proprietary, please so indicate.
Thanks.
Mahan
- Mohan, Thanks for the info! Do you by any chance know what material it is made out of?
The replacement jogged the aquatic staffs memory and they seem to recall it being replaced with titanium. Is it possible to confirm this info with the licensee? Unfortunately I can't find any info on the docket.
