NON-RADIOLOGICAL NPDES PERMIT VIOLATION REPORT NOVEMBER 1992 THROUGH APRIL 1993 During the period of November 1, 1992 to April 30, 1993, there were no NPDES violations reported to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR).
In the same reporting period there was one incident of a sewage overflow which occurred on January 5, 1993 at 1425 hours0.0165 days <br />0.396 hours <br />0.00236 weeks <br />5.422125e-4 months <br />.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources - Plainwell Office was notified of this incident. A loss of power to the sewage lift pumps resulted in a loss of 50 gallons of clear liquid sewage to a storm drain which discharges to the Lake Michigan shore.
Immediate inspection of the storm drain after the occurrence indicated no presence of solids or sewage odor.
Other activities that may be of interest in regards to water quality are summarized below:
- 1. Submitted request to MDNR to evaluate the following:
- a.
A request to use a new circulating water system treatment chemical Betz PAL-02, in place of Calgon Thrugard 700 has been ongoing since August, 1992.
- b.
In April, 1993, a request was made to MDNR to discharge Component Cooling Water (CCW) System water containing sodium nitrites.
Periodically during maintenance activities on the CCW heat exchangers it may be necessary to drain the contents of the CCW system.
In the past this request was made on an as needed basis. The company is seeking permanent approval for the discharge of this waste stream.
- 2. Submitted a permit renewal application to MDNR for renewal of Palisades NPDES Permit #MI 0001457. This permit renewal application was submitted to MDNR on April 2, 1993.
In the same letter the company requested an extension of the due date for submittal of the storm water characterization information. Storm water runoff characterization information was to be submitted with the NPDES permit renewal application.
