October 8,1992 Mr. W;lliam L Kregloe Virginia Water Oontrol Board Valley Regional Office 116 North Main Street P. O. Box 268 Bridgewater, VA 22812 RE: NORTH ANNA POWER STATION Olt RELEASE 10/2/92

Dear Mr. Kreglos:

An oil release to the discharge canal occurred at North Anna Power Station on October 2,1992. This letter confirms our report of the incident to the Department of Emergency Sendees at 2102 hours0.0243 days <br />0.584 hours <br />0.00348 weeks <br />7.99811e-4 months <br />, and to the National Response Center at 2105 hours0.0244 days <br />0.585 hours <br />0.00348 weeks <br />8.009525e-4 months <br />, on that date.

Notification was also made to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission at 2144 hours0.0248 days <br />0.596 hours <br />0.00354 weeks <br />8.15792e-4 months <br />.

At approximately 1900 hours0.022 days <br />0.528 hours <br />0.00314 weeks <br />7.2295e-4 months <br /> on 0;:tober 2, station personnel discovered an oil sheen on the discharge canal. Upon investigation it was determitted that oily water being pumped to the oil / water separato for treatment hcd been !nadvertently puniped to the outlet sids of the separator rather than the inlet side as intended. Therefore, the oily water bypassed the treatment unit and was discharged into the canal at Outfall 004.

It has been determined that a total quantity of less than 5 gallons of oil was involved in this event, most of which was captured by absorbents at the 004 out'all structure and at the permanent oil booms in the discharge canal. A small amount, estimated at less than one pint, escaped the oil booms into the Waste Heat Treatment Facility (WHTF). Most of this oil was contained by a temporary boom and captured by absorbents. No oil from this release wedd be expected to reach the discharge to state waters from the WHTF to Lake Anna (Outfall 010). No evidence of environmental damage was found, in order to preclude future recurrence of this incident, a procedure will be developed to provide instructions for the discharge of oily water ta the oil / water separator system.

Also, the manholes in the system have been clearly labeled to prevent introduction of.

wastewater to the wrong part of the system.
