E. State and Local Regui rements
- 1. Hazardous Waste Management The permittee shall store, transfer, and dispose of its hazardous wastes in coJll>liance with the 11 Manifest 11 provisions pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-1 et seg.
- 2. Radiation*
- a. The permittee shall COIJl>lY with all regulations set forth in N.J.S.A. 26:20-1 et~* in regard to Radiation Protection.
- b. All radioactive wastes shall be collected, removed, and disposed of in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:28-11.1 et~*
F.1. Total residual chlorine may not be discharged from any single generating unit for more than two hours per day. However, since the permittee has demonstrated that the service water system, a nuclear safety related system, has a macro invertebrate fouling problem, TRC discharges in excess of two hours per day are allowed to accommodate continuous chlorination of the service water system, provided that TRC discharges resulting from the main condenser cooling water chlorination do not exceed two hours per day.
- 2. If chlorination of the main condensers is required, the permittee shall notify the Department and monitor total residual chlorine at the permitted outfalls DSN 481 through 486 three times per week*,
each during a two (2) hour period of chlorination. Monitoring for Total Residual Chlorine {TRC) from continuous chlorination of the Service Water System shall be performed three (3) times per week at each permitted outfall DSN 481 through 486. The amount of TRC discharged from each permitted outfall DSN 481 through 486 shall not exceed a monthly average of 0.3 mg/1 or a daily maxirrum of 0.5 mg/1 when non-contact cooling water is not being discharged through the associated permitted outfalls, DSNs 481-486.
- 3. The permittee shall maintain a log noting the time and duration of chlorination of the main condensers.
G. There shall be no discharge of polychlorinated bipenyl compounds such as those commonly used for transformer fluid.
H. The permittee is licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and responsible to that agency for compliance with radiological effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, and other licensing conditions.

- 3. ACUTE TOXICITY BIOMONITORING REQUIREMENTS The permittee shall conduct definitive £low-through or definitive static renewaI acute toxicity tests (bioassays) on its wastewater discharge. ~he first acute toxicity test sha11 be initiated no later than three months from EDP, unless otherwise specified by the NJDEP.
A. All toxicity tests shall be conducted in acco~dance with the following:
(1) Acute toxicity test procedures shall conform to the "Regulations Governing Laboratory Certification and Standards of Performance" (N.J.A.C. 7:18).
Subchapter 6 of the regulations contains the criteria and procedures for acute toxicity testing and analysis. The laboratory performing your acute toxicity testing wil~ have to be within the laboratory certification program included within those regulations.
(2) Test results shall be expressed in terms of the mortaJ.ities in each effluent concentration and, if they can be calculated, the median lethal concentration (LCSO) with confidence interval.
B. Test Species and Test Duration (1) The test duration shal.l be 96 hrs.
(2) The appropriate test species shall be ~esignated in accordance with N~AC 7:9-4.S(f).
- c. Monitoring Frequency (J) The initial monitoring frequency shall be:
one test every three months (2) If the permittee completes four tests which show no measurable acute toxicity, the permittee may petition the Department for modi f:_ca ti on of the biomoni to ring requirements.
(3) If the control mortality in any acute toxicity test is greater than or equal to 10% for a fish species or greater than or equal to 15% for an invertebrate species, the test is invalid and the permittee shall begin an additional definitive acute toxicity test no later than 30 days after the completion of the invalid test in accordance with NJAC 7:18-6.

(1) A fully completed "Methodology Questionnaire for Acute Toxicity Tests" form, which includes an identification of the certified acute toxicity testing laboratory responsible for the testing.
Copies of this form are provided to certified laboratories.
(2) A schematic diagram which depicts the loca~ion that the effluent samples will be taken; the_ diagram shall indicate the location of effluent sampling in relation to any wastei:.,1ater treatment facilities and all Discharge Serial Numbers (DSN's).
(3) A photocopy of a county map or USGS quad with the loca~ion of the dilution water sampling site relative to the effluent discharge point marked (unless the use of an artificial water has been approved) .
E. Acute toxicity test results shall be reported on the "NJPDES Biomonitoring Report Form - Acute Bioassays," copies of which are provided to certified laboratories.
(1) TWO COPIES of each completed report :':om shall be submitted within 60 days of test completion to; Industrial Biomonitoring Program Bureau of Industrial Discharge Permi~s Division of Water Resources CN-029 Trenton, New Jersey 08625 The test results shall also be reported on the permittee's Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the monitoring period during which the test was conducted.
(2) All other required submissions shall also be submitted to the ahove address.
