NJPDES Report Explanation of Deviations December, 1997 The following explanations are included to clarify possible deviations from permit conditions.

General - The columns labeled, "No. Ex. " on the enclosed DMR, tabulate the number of daily discharge values outside the indicated limits.

Data reporting and accuracy reflect the working environment, the design capabilities and reliability of the monitoring instruments and operating equipment.

All reported concentrations are based on daily discharge values.

Total residual chlorine is performed three times per week during chlorination unless otherwise indicated.

Analytical values which are less than detectable are reported as zero unless otherwise indicated.

Analytical results for all parameters other than pH, temperature, TSS, TRC and Bioassay results are provided by Raytheon Environmental Services Laboratory. (NJDEP certification 77373) or South Jersey Testing Laboratory (NJDEP certification 06431). Bioassay results are provided by ENSR Environmental Toxicology Laboratory (NJDEP certification 82888).

Net negative discharge values are reported as negative.

489C- Flow thru outfall 489 is calculated based on Oil Water Separator Lift Pump run times.

481-486 - Chlorination of the circulation water system normally does not occur except as otherwise noted. Service water system chlorination is normally continuous and is monitored on the circulating water system outfall.

Chlorination of both systems will be indicated by results reported for both and represents their combined effect upon the circulating water outfall.

NJPDES Report Explanation of Deviations December, 1997 48C - Non-Radioactive Liquid Waste - This system continues to be operated in a batch mode to treat for hydrazine and ammonia by the addition of sodium hypochlorite.

Residual chlorine is monitored at the outfalls of DSN's 481, 482, 484, and 485, and has not exceeded the permit limits at these outfalls.
