Dear Mr. Zugger:

Richard C. Menge Senior Vice President 219 425 2103 RE: Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant NPDES Permit No. MI 0005827 On June 2, 1988 at 1655 hours0.0192 days <br />0.46 hours <br />0.00274 weeks <br />6.297275e-4 months <br />, an oil spill was discovered at the Cook Nuclear Plant and was reported to the Pollution Emergency Alert System shortly afterward. The latest estimate is that 300 gallons of No 2 diesel oil was discharge'd from

~

an underground storage tank to the ground.

The spill became apparent after the associated tank piping was overfilled during tank testing then lost oil dramatical'ly.

Cleanup and recovery measures began immediately and 150 gallons of oil has been .recovered from a dry well located in the immediate vicinity of the discharge. Forty-two cubic yards of contaminated soil have been removed as of June 13, 1988.

Cleanup measures are still underway, and investigations continue to locate the leak area. Repairs will be made immediately to the leak area. It is expected that the cleanup will be completed by June 17, 1988.

By copy of this letter, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is notified pursuant to the requirements of Appendix .B, Part II, Nonradiological Environmental Protection Plan, Section 3.2.

If you have any questions about this matter, please call Donald L. Baker, Environmental Affairs Manager at 219/425-2118.

Very truly yours,
