i Other (specify)

X emp l Neutralizing tank was draining in the discharge flume at time of sampling.

9.

Analysis of Occurrence:

The neutralizing tank, which contains water impurities remaining after

-regenerating condensate demineralizers and plant. makeup water deminera-lizers, was being drained into the discharge fiume when samples were taken. No other liquid releases were in progress at time of sampling.

Corrective Action:

We are reviewing our ETS chemical limits with the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology.

It has been determined that there is no i

. basis-for many of our ETS. chemical discharge limits and that our water sampling and testing program does not verify that we are or are not meet-ing the conditions of our permits to discharge issued by the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control.and' Ecology or the EPA.
