Post Office Box 1004 Charlotte, North Carolina 28201 Gentlemen:
As a part of the processing of the State Permit for the Claiborne Enrichment Center near Homer, Louisiana, we have been in contact with Phil Hammond of Duke Engineering concerning certain details of the receiving water, Bluegill Pond.
In conversation with Mr.
Hammond on October 18, 1992, we requested the following information and he asked us to put this request in letter form to you.
As a part of the evaluation of the Pond as a receiving stream, 1.
we need inf ormation on the physical configuration of the Pend.
A scale drawing of the Pond, showing depths or contours, would be suitable for our calculations.
Volumetric calculations would also be very helpful.
Please mark the position of the outfall on the drawing.
We understand that Duke Engineering is taking quarterly field 2.
water quality readings of conductance, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and alkalinity on Lake Avalyn.
We request a copy of that data, both past and future (through June 1993),
to be used as an aid in assessing the characteristics of the receiving water.
3.
Our permit considerations include computations involving and TSS characteristics.
There are no hardness or hardness TSS data available for the receiving water or forl nearby and i
similar waters.
We therefore request that samples _ for l
hardness and TSS be taken at Bluegill Pond (vicinity of the cutfall) on a twice a month basis, beginning - as soon as
- possible, and that the results of the analysis of those samples be provided to-DEQ.
Max Forbes, of our Engineering Section, discussed with Mr. Hammond the taking of. quarterly we now feel that a hardness and_TSS data base of samples; suf ficient size (about 10 determinations of each) to permit 15 percentiles of these characteristics must be developed as soon as possible, and that more frequent sampling is therefore called for.
4.
Discussion with the permit writer assigned reveals a concern on your part that concentrations of sulf ate in the groundwater supply could cause concentrations of that element in your effluent to be above the permissable level. To properly

Page Two document the natural sulfate condition, we request that available data on sulfate in the groundwater supply be provided to the Ground Water Protection Division of DEQ; the address is : La. Dept. of Environmental Quality, GWPD, P O.
Box 82 215, Baton Rouge, La. 70884-2215.
If suf ficient data to provide a reasonable picture of sulf ate concentrations are not available, we would suggest a sampling program to establish a data base; that data should also be provided to DEQ.
In paragraph 3 above, we requested that data on hardness and TSS be gathered for Bluegill Pond. Since sulfate may also be a concern in the receiving water, we request that sampling for sulfate in Bluegill Pond be done with the sampling for hardness and TSS; this will provide a background for further considerations.
5.
Representatives of DEQ are likely to be in the Homer area before December; we request your permission to visit Bluegill Pond and Lake Avalyn to take one set of sulf ate, hardness, and TSS samples.
If permission is granted, please furnish conta.
inf ormation f or a local (Homer area) representative of L.E.S.-
L.P..
We appreciate your cooperation in responding to these requests; this information will expedite the processing of the permit.
If you have questions on any of the requests, please contact Cheryl LeJeune at 504-765-0525.

t Of Attention:
P. G. LeRoy, Licensing Manager AtP CU AL Subjects LWDPS Permit WP Draft 4154 for Louisiana Energy Services, L.P.'s claiborne Enrichment Center Dear Mr. LeRoys In reference to the meeting held on September 22, 1992 attended by Mr. Phil Hammond, several concerns were raised regarding Louisiana Energy-Services (LES) operating in the State of Louisiana.
Per LAC 33 IX.303.A, please supply the following additional information:
- 1. There is some question as to the source of the regulatory limits listed in Table 4.4-2 in Attachment 8 of the LWDPS permit application submitted-on July 2, 1992. What is the rationale and specific citation for the limita as listed.
- 2. Uncontaminated stormwater runoff from the facility was overlocked in the application as a source requiring monitoring and sampling.
Please complete Section II of the SCC-2 application addressing this runoff from Outfall 002 to Bluegill Pond.
- 3. Does the possibility of radioactive contamination of the stormwater that exits outfall 002 exist? Please give a detailed explanation of the procedure for transportation and storage of any radioactive material at the site.
- 4. During the meeting, there was some' confusion as to the origin and quantity of carbon tetrachloride actually discharged through Outfall 001.
Please verify the analytical numbers for carbon tetrachloride as presented in Attachment 5 of the application.

Cceplete Section 11 for each discharge outf all.
An external outf all is a discrete discharge point beyond which the waste stream receives no further mixing with othat waste streams prior to discharging into a receiving water, An internal outf all le an outfall for a waste stream that I
ccc.bine s with other waste stream (s) before discharging into an ' external" outfall. Please provide your af ter treatment test results in the units asked for on the application. -For proposed facilities, estimates should be provided for any expected contaminants even though the f acility is not in place yet.
If-you cannot estimate these parameters yourself, obtain the services of a consultant or other knowledgeable individual.
