Boiler Blowdown ,

i

Dear Mr. Zugger:

The pli ; heating boiler, which had not been in use for approximately one month, was started up for steam requirements. A blowdown sample taken April 9,1984, was found to have an iron concentration of 2.9 ppm. The iron level is most likely the result of infrequent boiler use.

An NPDES modification which exempts the plant heating boilers from iron and copper limits was approved at a meeting of the Michigan Water Resources Commission on March 21, 1979, although the staff has never formally modified the permit to reflect this administrative action.

Very truly yours,

[
