DISCHARGE OF DIESEL FUEL PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC AND GAS COMPANY (PSE&G) ARTIFICIAL ISLAND CASE #92-07-15-0829-58 30-DAY CONFIRMATION REPORT As per the requirements of NJAC 7:1E-5.8, PSE&G has prepared a report (attached) confirming the discharge to the ground of 20 gallons of diesel fuel on the access road between Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations on July 15, 1992. The discharge occurred entirely within PSE&G property, and no injuries resulted.

Since there is no "Reportable Quantity" (RQ) for diesel fuel under 40 CFR 302.4, no notification of the release was reported to any other agency other than the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy (NJDEPE) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), as required under 10 CFR 50.72, Significant Events.

PSE&G, in making this notification, believes that it acted in accordance with the intent of NJAC 7:1E, Subchapter 5, which requires all major facilities to notify NJDEPE of discharges of petroleum and other potentially hazardous substances.
