Metropolitan Edison Cc=pany Three Mile I's land Nuclear Station Ucncc=pliance Notifications 78-18 and 78-19 I. Descrittien of the Nenec=cliance

a. 78-18 Cn July 2k,1978, a sample was taken frem the Industrial 'iaste Filter -

System (LTS) discharge (NPDES discharge 10k) which yielded a TSS cencentration of 283 =g/1. This result exceeded the : REDES per=it li=itatien of 100 =g/1.

b. 78-19 Cn July 2k, 1978, a sa=ple was taken frem the LTS. ':his sanple had a pH of 9.80. This exceeds the permit limitation which allows a pE range of 6.0 - 9.0.

II. Corrective / Preventive Actions As detailed in Ncncenpliance Notification 78-17, we expect to have the proble=s associated with the pH system corrected by September 1, 1978.

In additien, the problems associated with the LTS have been docu=ented in cur letter of July 20, 1978 to the EPA (enclosed for PaDER culy).

As the EPA is aware frem our letter of June 10, 1977, (enciesed for PaDER

' only), ve are using interim treatment measures for discharge 10h until such time that the treatment system is fully operational. It is believed that an inecmplete settling of solids caused this violation.

III. P-evicus Nence=cliances of the Present Tyne

a. 78-18 NCN 01, 78-10, 78-lk
b. 78-19 NCN 78-17 I7. Envi en= ental I=cact Statement As the degree of both nonec=pliances is not extre=e, it is believed that no significant envirennental i= pact was produced.
