i
Dear Sir:
As required by the EPA -Permit No.
PA002 567.5, the following information is provided in regard to a
reportable occurrence at Beaver Valley Power Station.
2 Discharge
- 101, the Chemical Waste
- Sump, exceeded the daily maximum specification of 100.00 mg/l total suspended solids (TSS) on December 30, 1992 when the sample measured 216.80 mg/1.
This sample also affected the monthly TSS average which at 49.12 mg/l exceeded the monthly average specification of 30.00 mg/1.
The source of the elevated TSS was. traced to a container of laboratory glassware soap of which about 1
gallon leaked into a chemistry lab sink.
The soap dissolved in the sump but left a soap film on the TSS filter paper resulting in a high TSS value.
No other solids were observed in the sample or on the filter paper.
This condition affected only one discharge which lasted 17.8 mintues for a total volume of 3560 gallons.
The following discharge on 12/31/92, which was primarily water from the softener, was only 7.78 mg/l TSS and no further occurrences have been experienced to date.

Since the discharge was limited in volume and the soap (Cole
- Palmer, Micro Cleaning Solution) which caused the elevated TSS is j
nonhazordous, phosphate free and completely biodegradable, then no environmental impact or harm is suspected.
All other monitoring j
parameters were in specification throughout the period.

If you have any questions concerning this report, please do not-l hesitate to contact Andrew Dulick.
