Dear Mr. Kaplan:
Item 2 of the enclosure to the February 15, 1979, letter to you from H. G. Moore, Jr. concerning the proposed chlorine limitations, stated i
that TVA was investigating alternatives to our proposed chlorination j
practices to meet the NPDES permit discharge limitations for chlorine l
residuals.
k Th investigation has been completed, and TVA has determined that l
tne chlorination practices as described in the enclosure to this letter should assure compliance with the discharge limitations for chlorine residual.
If you have any questions concerning this report or need additional i'
information, please let ce know.
f Sincerely, I

- Attachment S,U: DIARY OF CitLORINATION PRACTICES AT SEOUOYAll NUCf. EAR PLANT Condenser Circulatine Water System (CCW)
No chlorination.
CCW Cooling Towers No chlorination.
Essential Raw Cooling Water System (ERCW)
This systes will be chlorinated continuously during the entire clam spawning period, usually from late May or early June to late October.
When the auxiliary ERCW cooling towers are tested, chlorination will be discontinued and verification of no chlorine residual will be accomplished before the test begins. Also, chlorination will be dis-continued if necessary during closed mode operation of the cooling towers in order to be in compliance with the current NPDES permit.
Raw Cooling Water (RCW) System and Raw Service Water (RSW) System The RCW and RSW systems will be chlorinated continuously for two 3-week periods per year, once at the beginning of the clam spawning season and then again at the end. Continuous treatment during the entire clam spawning period may be required if periodic treatment does not result in ef f ective control. Chlorination of the RCW and RSW systems will be discontinued if necessary-during closed mode operation of the cooling towers in order to be in compliance with the current NPDES permit.
