Environmental Affairs Re: Comments on NJPDES Draft Permit NJ0025411 Hope Creek Generating Station Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County

Dear Mr. Shissias:

~

a We have reviewed your comments on the draft permit for the Hope Creek Generating Station and have.the following responses to the issues raised in your letter: .

1. The wording of the Statement of Basis regarding composition of the cooling tower will be modified to state that portions .

1 of the cooling tower are composed of asbestos. We will also note that ammonium bisulfite is to be used as a dechlorinating agent rather than sulfur dioxide, and, that caustic soda or Sulfuric acid will be used. for pH adjustment if necessary.

2. We believe that the BODS /FSOD allocation question has been

~ resolved by the Delaware River Basin Conunission (DRBC) i decision of June 6,1985 increasing the allocation granted to

' Hope Creek from 3.4 pounds / day of BODS to 15 pounds / day with a corresponding increase of FSOD from 4.0 pounds / day to 18 pounds / day. We understand that this increase was necessary --

l due to expadsion of the Hope Creek Generating Station Sewage !

- Treatment Plant from a design capacity of 0.051 MGD to 0.086 l MGD.

l

3. Phease note that Condition B of Part IV of the draft NJPDES-DSW permit includes a requirement specifying that DMRs :

shall be sent to EPA and DRBC as well as the NJDEP.

w .

____r-

. p .

4.

As stated in N.J. A.C. 7:14A-3.13 (a) 7 exceedance of only '

those parameters regulating discharge of toxic or hazardous .

substances must be reported within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months , unless I specifically noted in the permit. For the Hope Creek Generating Station these parameters are the metals; copper, cadmium,. chromium, arsenic, lead, mercury, selenium, zinc, nickel and the toxicity (LC50) value.

5.

COMMENTS - NJPDES DRAFT PERMIT NJ0025411 HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION .

PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC AND GAS COMPANY The Company's staff has reviewed the Hope Creek NJPDES - DSW draft permit NJ 0025411 which was published on April 16, 1985. hie appreciate the Department's expeditious and tiimely issuance of the draft permit. As we have previously discussed, a timely final per-mit is essential for Hope Creek to meet its startup schedule.

1) Page 5 of 13, Description of Limitations and Conditions, DSN 461A -

Only the fill, drift eliminator components and distribution piping of the tower contain asbestos. A comment concerning monitoring for asbestos is made under the permit limitation section.

Also, it has been determined in. consultation with the cooling tower manufacturer and Betz Laboratories that a better dechlor-inating agent is ammonium bi* sulfite rather than sulfur dioxide ,

as originally described in the Company's application. In

~

addition, pH adjustment of the cooling tower water may require the injection of caustic soda 'rather than sulfuric acid.

2) Page 6 of 13, Description of Limitations and Conditions, DSN 462B -

The relationship of FSOD to BOD 5 has been previously considered in existing NPDES permits. The application of a 1.2 -ratio in .-

effect reduces the station's BOD allocation. Hope Creek needs .,

the full allocation. Furthermore, Hope Creek needs to retain the BOD allocation made by DRBC. In a letter from the DRBC's Director, Mr. J. Wright, to PSE&G on February 21, 1975, Hope Crekk's sewage treatment system was given a waste load allocation of 13 pounds per day for the construction phase of the project. Although our

1975 NJPDES permit reflected only 4 lbs/ day, a permit modification was not requested because the plant loading was minimal.

The Enir:;y deede

. A. Schiffman Page 2 May 2,1985 As Hope Creek goes through start-up operations, a greater number of site personnel and system appurtenances are putting increasing demands on the system. This is evidenced in our 1984 renewal application, in _which a maximum BOD (mass) of 8.7As Kga(19.1 lb.)/

result, day was described for the sewage treatment plant.

we find that the DRBC's original allocation to Hope Creek is needed. We request that DSN No. 462B in our new NJPDES permit reflect this provision. Once Hope Creek becomes operational, PSE&G will submit a permit modification reflective of those new conditions.

~

1h believe that the 13 lb./ day waste load allocation for BOD-5 may be used to develop a value for FSOD as well. However, employing FSOD as a viable limitation should only be done if the specific, first-order rate constant (K') for Hope Creek's sewage effluent is determined and used to reflect the areater value associated'with the 'FSOD/ BOD ratio. That is, if the FSOD/ BOD

ratio is'l.2'(a'ssuming K' proves this'out", the new FSOD for

RE: NJPDES-DSW Draf t Pemit Renewal NJ0025411 Public Service Electric and Gat Company Hope Creek Generating Station Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County

Dear Mr. Meyer:

This letter is in respense to your letter dated June 11, 1985, providing coments on the NJFDES-DSW Draft We have the following responsesto.Pemit for the Hope Creek Generating Station.

these comments:

General Cements 1.

The Statement of Basis states that the basis for the COD and petroleum hydrocarbon limitations at DSN 461A and the C00 limitation at 461C is Best Professional Judgment (BPJ), and that the EPA Regional Guidance was considered in making this judgment. Furthermore, the EPA Effluent Guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source do not address these parameters and, therefore, could not be applied.

. . 2. DSN 460, noted in the pennit modification issued en October 10, 1984, has become 4638 at PSEAG's request. A statement noting this will be added to the Statement of Basis.

~

3. The statement you refer to regarding discharge of polychlori-natedhiphenylcompounds(PC8s)wasincludedintheDraft Pemit as Condition G of Part IV, Page 2 of 5 Pages.

4. The TSS limitation of 100 mg/l maximum was established by

Best Professional Judgment in consideration of achievability, consistency with other second round permits issued to PSE&G.

and that the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category Effluent Guidelines spect/y a BPT value of 100 mg/l raximum for TSS for several types of power plant wastewater.

f i

B - *

. . c 2-b DSN 461A

' 1. PSE&G requested application of net limitations for the

=

parameters noted since they may be present in the Delaware River intake water. The former NPDES Permit, issued July 31 y 1975, did not contain language prohibiting use of corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, such language was not included in the renewal pemit. However, PSE&G does not have any in-tention of using corrosion inhibitors at this time.

2. Your assumption that the 2 units originally planned for the Hope Creek Generating Station were to be identical is correct.

Furthermore, we believe that the explanation for the net heat rate limitations provided by the Draft Pennit Statement of i Basis is sufficient.

E

3. The statement you refer to regarding discharge of free avail-able and total re.idual chlorine was included in the Draft Permit as Condition F of Part IV, Page 2 of 5 Pages.

4. A statement will be added to the Br. sis statug that the chromium limitation is also based upon the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source effluent guidelines.

The pennit modification, issued for the Hope Creek Generating 1

Station on September,25,1984, adding this outfall included a l flow limitation. Therefore, this value was carried over from the former pemit. ~

DSN 4628 1.

The limitations imposed for BODc, pursuant to the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) Regulations, are more stringent than L those required by 40 CFR Part 133 for secondary treatment.

Therefore, these limitations will remain unchanged in the Final Permit.

=

However, we will add the limitation of 85% removal of TSS to the Final Pemit in accordance with 40 CFR Part 133.

_ 2. Both the 800 DRBC minimum allowable zone percent 8005 required reduction and FSOD for values for DSN 4628 secondary treatment in accordance with ection 4.30.2 et seq.

of the Administrative Manual Part III, Basin Regulatioiis - Water -

Quality.

The ratto of FS00 to B005 of 1.2 is the value that

-DRBC determined as representing the ratio of FSOD to BOD this facility. S for s

L The previously reported values for metals during the term of y the pennit modification were fairly consistent. Therefore, the monitoring frequencies were reduced.

2. We do not anticipate that the pennittee will exceed the proposed cadmium limitation. Therefore, a compliance schedule or Admin-istrative Order is not necessary.

[e amWamnas q Dear Mr. Post this letter serves to inform you that the thited States awironmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region II, has reviewed the draft permit 10PDES NJ0025411, for Public Service Electric and Gas Caegany, Bope Creek Generating Station and evaluated the nature of its discharge into the nelmare River (sone 5) from its facility located at Foot of Buttonwood Road, Artificial Island, Iower Alloways Creek 1%p., Salem County, New Jersey. Casments on this matter were requested by the New Jersey Depart-ment of Envirorimental Protection in a letter dated April 16, 1985.

The EPA, Region II has the following cannents on the above refehenced pemit: -

General rs===rits

1. Although the basis for the CDD and Petroleum Hydrocarbons -

permeters of DGl461A and the CDD parameter of Del 461C is EPA Regional gnManne, this guidance was not intended to be used for discharges of these types. Instead, the deve-lopment docuent and the effluent guidelines for this point source should be used to develop appropriate limits.

2. In the permit modification issued October 10, 1984, a new discharge (DEN 460) is mentioned. However, there is no sention of this discharge in the draft permit. Please justify the exclusion of DEN 460 from the permit. If justification cannot be provided, then please include this discharge in the permit. .

   ,                           3. The effluent guidelines stipulate that there shall be no discharge of polychlorinated biphenyl emuls (PCBs).

Such a statement, %r, cannot be found in the draft permit. Therefore, please ir.r.wipurate this PCB limitation into the draft penait there aggropriate.

w . e

          .          e

4. A maximaa TSS valve of 100ng/l is proposed for discharges 462A, 463A, 464, and 462B. Although it is stated that this value is BN, the rationale used in developing this limit is unclear.

Please explain the method used to develop this limitation. DSN 461A

1. Net limitations are proposed for the parameters 14trolem Hydro-carbons, TSS, 000, Copper, Eine, and Otremitas. If Copper, Eine, and Otrania are strictly in the intake unter, then not limitations for these parameters may be claimed.

Also, if this discharge is a 1974 new source, the 1974 effluent y

1ines remain in effect. 'Ihese guidelines prohibit the addition of corrosion inhibitors to diediarges of this type.

Please determine if these regulations apply, and then impose

limitations accordingly. .

2. It is stipulated in the Statement of Basis that the summer and winter net heat rates are half of the. original values, since the i original values were intended for a 2-unit operation. It is assumed that the second unit was to be identical to the first, and that this is the basis for halving the original values.

Please verify this asstaption and state it in'the statement of Basis. -

                 -                                                                                                       ~

3. 'Ihe effluent guidelines for this point' source state that neither free available ' chlorine nor total residual chlorine may be dis-charged from any unit for more than 2 hours in any one day.

Bowever, this statement cannot be found in the draft penait. If this statment is missing, please incorporate it into the penait d ere appropriate. ,

4. h limitations for pH and the metals are based on utBC regulatione.

                                                 -Bowever, it should be stipulated in the statement of Basis that the Oirania limitation is based upon the effluent guidelines for this pol st setree as well.                                              ;
