Subject:

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS)

Docket No. 50-219 Final Environmental Statment (FES)

The Final Environmental Statement for the OCNGS issued by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Directorate of Licensing in 1974 stated in Section 3.7.1 page 3-35 that domestic and sanitary wastes from the unrestricted nonradioactive areas of the plant are discharged to a packaged sewage treatment facility located at the station.

The effluent from the station's packaged sewage treatment facility was subsequently regulated by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency in the OCNGS National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) pe rmit (Permit No. NJ 000 5550).

The FES goes on to estimate the volume of raw wastewater treated at the packaged sewage treatment facility at 1000 gallons per day.

Since the issuance of the FES the normal plant workforce has increased considerably resulting in a concurrent increase in the amount of raw wastewater generated.

The amount of raw wastewater presently generated is approximately 10,000 gallons per day, but even this number may increase to approximately 25,000 gallons per day during station outages when the station workforce is further increased.

However, the source of the domestic and sanitary waste remains the unrestric ted nonradioactive areas of hO the plant, g

By way of this letter GPU Nuclear is requesting confirmation j g from the Commis sion that this increase in volume of domestic and V

interest to the US NRC from a radiological standpoint.
