Impoundment Neosho River Basin is authorized to discharge from the waste treatment facility described herein, in accordance with effluent limitations and monitoring requirements as set forth herein.

This permit shall become effective April 24,1985

, will supersede all previous permits and/or agreements in effect between the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the permittee, and will expire January 17, 1989 FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

The station consists of a pressurized nuclear reactor steam supply system and a turbine

- generator used for generation, transmission an:1 distribution of electrical power.

The nuclear steam supply system is comprised of a reactor vessel and four primary coolant loops, each with a reactor coolant pump and steam generator.

SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE None D.

SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS 1.

There shall be no discharge of polychlorinated biphenyl compounds.

2.

All samples and flow measurements required for permit monitoring shall be taken on the same day except for miscellaneous discharges related to stormwater runoff, oil storage area runoff, etc.

3.

Miscellaneous discharges related to runoff are regulated by Water Quality Criteria.

Runoff contained in the oil storage dike area (s) shall be visually inspected to determine if removal of oil and grease is necessary prior to discharge.

4.

(a) Neither free available chlorine nor total residual chlorine may be discharged from any unit for more than two hours in any one day and not more than one unit in any plant may discharge free available or total residual chlorine at any one time unless the utility can demon trate to the State that the units in a particular location cannot operate at or below this level of chlorination.

(b)(1) Any plant with a total rated electric generation capacity of 25 or more megawatts is subject to the following stipulation.

Total residual chlorine may not be dishcarged from any single generating unit for more than two hours per day unless the discharger demonstrates to the State that discharge for more than two hours is required for macroinvertebrate control.

Simultaneous milti-unit chlorination is permitted. Multi-unit chlorination must be designated in the monitoring reports.

(b)(2) Any plant with a total rated electric generation capacity of less than 25 megawatts is subject to the following stipulation.

Neither free available chlorine nor total residual chlorine may be discharged from any unit for more than two hours in any one day and not more than one unit in any plant may discharge free available or total residual chlorine at any one time unless the utility can demonstrate to the State that the units in a particular location cannot operate at or below this level of chlorination.

This permit'shall be modified, or alternatively, revoked and reissued, to comply with any applicable effluent standard or limitation issued or approved under Sections 301 (b)(2), (C), and (D), 304 (b)(2), and 307 (a)(2) of the Clean Water Act, if the effluent standard or limitation so issued or approved:

Contains different conditions or is otherwide more stringent than any effluent a.

limitation in the permit, or b.

Controls any pollutant not limited in the permit.

The permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also contain any_ other' requirements of-the Act then applicable.

I (1) One hundred micrograms per liter (100 pg/1);

(2) Two hundred micrograms per liter (200 pg/1) for acrolcin and acrylonitrile; five hundred micrograms per liter (500 pg/l) for 2,4-dinitrophenol and for 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol; and one milligram per liter (1 mg/l) for antimony;

Page 7 Kansas Permit No. I-NE07-P002 D.

SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS (Cont. )

(3) Five (5) times the maximum concentration value reported for that pollutant in the permit application.

b.

That any activity has occurred or will occur which result in any discharge,

.on a non-routine or infrequent basis, of a toxic pollutant which is not limited in the permit, if that discharge will exceed the highest of the following "notifi-cation levels":

(1) Five hundred micrograms per liter (500 pg/l);

m (2) One milligram per liter (1 mg/l) for antimony; (3) Ten (10) times the maximum concentration value reported for that pollutant in the permit application.

12.

Each ~outfall will need to be tested in accordance with the EPA Consolidated Permits

. Program Application Form 2C to either confirm or supplement the information in the addendum submitted prior to the facility becoming operational.

The outfalls are to be sampled during the first year of operation when the wastestreams are representative of the operational mode. The results are to be submitted to the Bureau of Water Protection as soon as they are available.

13.

Kansas Surface Water Quality Standards will be enforced in the Neosho River, below the confluence with Wolf Creek and a reasonable mixing zone.

Discharges to waters of the State shall be guided by both the primary and secondary drinking water regulations promulgated pursuant to P.L.93-523 and by criteria for water quality published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Section 304a of P.L.92-500.

The release rate from Wolf Creek Cooling Impoundment (WCCI) will be regulated so as to comply with the State Water Quality Standards of 500 mg/l for. total dissolved solids (TDS), 250 mg/l for sulfates (SO ), 250 mg/l for chlorides 3

(Cl) and a maximum S*F temperature rise above natural coHditions not to exceed 90*F in the Neosho River after the mixing zone. WCCI release rate shall be calculated from the following equation:

(1)

Q,C, + Q C * (9

  • O) C 7 r w

r c

where Q

- WCCI release rate (cfs)

CW :- WCCI parameter concentration (mg/l) or *F Q"= 1/4 (John Redmond Release rate minus pump rate to WCCI),

r (cfs)

C[ = County bridge parameter concentration (mg/l) or (*F)

C = Water Quality Standard (mg/l) or (*F)

Solving equation (1) for Q, yields:

(2)

Q,=Qr (C -C) c p

SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS (Cont. )

where; C is equal to 500 mg/l for total dissolved solids sTDS), 250 mg/l fo9 sulfates (SO ), 250 mg/l for chlorides (Cl) and 5 F for temperature.

F8r ambient temperatures below 85 P C

+5P and above 85*F C = 90.

AQ value shall be calcufated for each parameter. The nSinimum Q, vaYue shall constitute the authorized release rate.

C values for parameters TDS, SO, C1 and temperature are to be obtained from 3

simpling the Neosho River at the cbunty road bridge,1/4 mile East of U.S. 75 in Burlington, Kansas.

The legal description of this sampling point is SE 1/4,

NW 1/4 of Section 21, Township 21S, Range 15E Coffey County.

C values for parameters TDS, SO, Cl and temperature are to be representalYve of the water quality in the WCdl discharge.

When Q i

conditioEs:s negative then Q" will be restricted accordingly depending on the following 1.

If John Redmond concentrations (C ) for the parameters exceed the water quality otherwise thef)e,shall be"no discharge.is not reftricted so long as C, does n standards (C then Q r

2.

If Wolf Creek cooling impoundment concentrations (C ) for the parameters are less than the water quality standards (C ), then Q, is n%t restricted.

c Information used to determine the WCCI release rate (Q"o)nitoring requirements un is to be reported in the monitoring reports each time a discharge occurs.

See m Outfall 004.

this permit, and unless specified, at the outfall(s) before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other body of water or substance.
