Box 659 90 East Union Street, Second Floor Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702 SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT NPDES PERMIT NO.

Dear Mr. Koval:
Enclosed is a copy of the October 1985 Discharge Monitoring Report for Permit No. PA 0047325. The following information details data and/or non-compliances for some of the permitted outfalls:
Outfall 071:
Cooling Tower Blowdown.
Flows are currently being estimated.
The average monthly Total Iron Concentration level of 6.8 mg/l was exceeded in October (8.53 mg/1). This high iron level it is felt was caused by heavy rains associated with Hurricane Gloria.
(See DMR 071 for additional details).
Outfall 079:
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). There were two excursions having low pH values in October. Equipment for an automatic addition system for controlling alkalinity has been ordered.
Installation of the equipment is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1986 and operation should begin in the second quarter. Manual addition of soda ash is being made by the operators each day to control pH.
(See DMR 079 for additional details.)
Free available chlorine was discharged from the STP during October because of failed pumps. This problem has been corrected.

Outfall 271:
Waste Filter Bypass. The Total Suspended Solids (TSS) of 30 mg/l limit was exceeded. The TSS discharge was 780 mg/1 We are investigating the use of either a centrifuge or filter press to remove solids from this waste stream in order to meet the NPDES permit limit as well as dewatering the sludge for disposal in a landfill.
If you have any questions, please call me at (215) 770-7889.
Respectfully yours, ww b.
