Dear Mr. Morley:
Re:
Cook Nuclear Plant NPDES Permit MI0005827 This notification is provided as required by Part I, Section A.l (a.)
(c.) of NPDES Permit MI0005827.
On September 9,
1999, at 0810 hours0.00938 days <br />0.225 hours <br />0.00134 weeks <br />3.08205e-4 months <br />, unnatural turbidity was observed at Cook Plant Outfall 001 and 002.
(Condenser Cooling Water and Miscellaneous Low Volume Waste) the turbidity was observed during a molluscicide treatment being performed at the Cook Nuclear Plant, in accordance with the conditions of our NPDES permit.
On September 8 -
9 from 1816 hours0.021 days <br />0.504 hours <br />0.003 weeks <br />6.90988e-4 months <br /> to 0540 hours0.00625 days <br />0.15 hours <br />8.928571e-4 weeks <br />2.0547e-4 months <br />, Betz-Dearborn CT-2 was applied for zebra mussel control in plant raw water systems.
The observed turbidity was caused by bentonite clay being fed into the discharge vaults for Units 1 and 2, during the molluscicide treatment.
Clay is used to satisfy the NPDES Permit detoxification requirements.
Clay feed was terminated at 1010 hours0.0117 days <br />0.281 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.84305e-4 months <br /> on September 9.
The turbidity observed during the molluscicide treatment was
- expected, since similar observations have been made during previous treatments.
Preventive actions are not possible due to the detoxification requirements contained in the NPDES permit.
We continue to work with the MDEQ Surface Water Quality permit writer to delete this requirement for this treatment.
Should you have any questions please contact me at (616)465-5901 ext.
