ATTACHMENT PALISADES NUCLEAR POWER PLANT 9/25/84 FUEL OIL LOSS REPORT Clean-up Activities Initially, approximately 80 yards of sand containing the spilled fuel oil was removed for disposal at Orchard Hill Landfill.

Through visual observation of the excavated area it was determined that the vertical dispersion of fuel oil either from this loss or a previous loss or losses.resulted in the presence of oil at deeper depths.

Additional excavations made on Monday, October 1, 1984 and Tuesday, October 2, 1984 resulted in an additional 120 cubic yards of soil removed from the south, north and west sides of the tank.

On the south side excavation, oil removal was halted when the water table was encountered approximately 1-lh fact above the tank bottom. After several minutes, a visible layer of fuel oil was observed on the free surface of the water in the excavation.

The north side excavation resulted in fuel oil being observed down to the water table; however, very little oil was seen on the surface water.

All soils with visual signs of oil have been removed. Absorbent pads were used to absorb fuel oil on the free surface of the water in the excavations.

This was discontinued int Friday, October 5,1984 due to an observed lack of oil. We are also evaluating methods for preventing recurrence of this event and necessary equipment and/or operating modifications.

NPDES NOTIFICATION REPORT PAL-83-08-AD86 Through an internal review process it was recently determined that NPDES Notification Report PAL-83-08-AD86 submitted September 15, 1983 was incom-plete. The report should have addressed the exceedance of the daily maximum effluent limit of 20 mg/l oil and grease for the turbine sump oil separator discharge (Outfall 000) on August 15 and 18, 1983. Through an oversight, the August 18, 1983 excursion was not included in the submitted report. The original September 15, 1983 report has been revised to include the August 18, 1983 excursion (attached). Please replace the old incomplete September 15, 1983 report with the attached, revised report.

Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please let me know.
