Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant NPDES Permit No, MI 0005827 Boiler Blowdown

Dear Mr. Zugger:

The plant heating boiler was started on August 5,1984, due to simultaneous outages of both nuclear units. A blowdown sample taken August 6,1984, at 0020 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> was analyzed and found to have an iron concentration of 1.40 ppm. The iron level most likely is the result of infrequent use of the boiler.

A backup sample was taken August 6,1984, at 0755 hours0.00874 days <br />0.21 hours <br />0.00125 weeks <br />2.872775e-4 months <br /> and analysis indicated 0.47 ppm iron concentration.

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 reucct this administrative action.

Very truly yours, b
