Subject:

Catawba Nuclear Station . NPDES Permit No. SC0004278 Request for Maintenance Chemical Approval File: CN-702.13

Dear Mr. Elearer:

Catawba Nuclear Station requests approval to begin using a polyacrylate dispersant for-siltation control. This product will be used in the plants Nuclear Service Water (RN) and Low Pressure Service Water (RL) system and discharged at non-toxic concentrations to Lake Wylie from outfall 001.

A polyacrylate dispersant is presently being used in the cooling towers at Catawba and is being discharged via the blowdown line (outfall 005) to outfall 001. The concentrations to be discharged from outfall 001 from the combined cooling tower blowdown line, RN, and RL systems is estimated to be less than 10 ppm for a worst case scenario.

The information provided in a MSDS sheet for a typical polyacrylate dispersant shows the acquatic toxicity for the product to have a No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) of 1000 ppm for Daphnia magna. Attached please find the MSDS sheet for Nalco 23382 which _

is a typical polyacrylate dispersant. The attached MSDS for the Nalco product is typical of the polyacrylate dispersants which will be used. However, other suppliers or manufacturers for polyacrylate dispersant will also be used.

Should you have any questions concerning this letter please give John Estridge a call at (704) 875-5965.

Sincerely,

/

J'ohn . . Carter, echnic 1 Systems Manager Environmental Division, Water Protection jte/485 a:c: NRC Document Distribution List
