NPDES Report 1/23/84

.. £xplanation of ex~ions December, 1983

.f The following exclusions are included in the attached report .and explained below. Exclusions have not endangered nor significantly impacted health or the environment.

DMR NO. EXPLANATION 481-486 Free Chlorine - Chlorination terminated on first indication of chlorine re-siduals.

481-483 Differential Temperature - Investiga-tion has indicated that the circulat-ing water system is experiencing a loss of flow capacity causing higher than normal temperatures.

FAC Heat Release - The computer program designed to calculate this value assumes the maximum design flow .. for the system. Elevated differential temperatures due to increased coolant residence times was not expected.

Investigation into this is still c*ontinuing.

481-486 pH - Abnormally low river pH is the apparent cause of this exceedence.

This was experienced on all sampled circulator influents.
