Description of Incident:
Routine sample of the turbine sump oil separator tank on October 21, 1985 (0830 hours0.00961 days <br />0.231 hours <br />0.00137 weeks <br />3.15815e-4 months <br />) was reported on October 25, 1985 to be 26.0 mg/L.
4.
Apparent Cause:
During the previous week the floors in the turbine building had been scrubbed down in preparation for painting. Excess oil and dirt on the floor was susequently rinsed to the turbine floor drains and eventually the oil water separator.

011 and grease daily maximum limit of 20 mg/L 3.
Description cf Incident:
The oil / water separator was removed from service on 9/20/85 for scheduled cleaning and maintenance. An extra sample for Outfall 00F collected at 1745 hours0.0202 days <br />0.485 hours <br />0.00289 weeks <br />6.639725e-4 months <br /> on 9/21/85 during this cleaning measured 34.2 as/L oil and grease.
The sample results were received on 9/26/85. The turbine sump oil separator tank (2,000 gallon capacity) prior to Outfall 00F remained in service during this cleanout period.
4.
Apparent Cause The oil / water separator was due for maintenance and cleaning after eight months of service. The oil separator tank was left in service to remove oil 1
and grease from the effluent; however, it apparently failed to remove sufficient oil to maintain compliance with effluent limits.
5.
If not immediately corrected, the anticipated time the condition is expected to continue:
NA 6.
Corrective Action - The following corrective action was taken or will be taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent recurrence This incident is an isolated occurrence and i not expected to reoccur.
Emptied the oil separator tank and cleaned the oil ski mers and replaced the oil absorbent. The oil / water separator was returned to service at 1305 hours0.0151 days <br />0.363 hours <br />0.00216 weeks <br />4.965525e-4 months <br /> on 9/21/85.

Identification of specific effluent limitation or monitoring requirement affected:
Oil released from the cooling towers was observed to cause a sheen in Lake Michigan in the immediate area of the discharge only. No oil was visible along the shoreline at any time.
3.
Description of Incident:
Shortly after starting each cooling tower pump lubricating oil was observed in the makeup mixing basins. Estimated at less than two gallons of oil.

Description:
Discharge to Lake Michigan Outfall Code No: 800095 (Outfall 001)
Parameter: pH Parameter Code No: 00400 1.
Date of Incident: 5/23/85 2.
Identification of specific effluent limitation or monitoring requirement affected:
pH limit of 6.0 to 9.0 3.
Description of Incident:
From 12:00 M to 1:00 AM on 5/23/85, approximately 3,000 gallons of acidic demineralizer regenerants were accidentally released from the Neutralizer Tank T-921 which apparently caused the final discharge to the lake to fall below the lower pH limit of 6.0.
The discharge pH may have been as low as 5.5.
A grab sample collected at 1:00 AM measured 6.05 pH in the discharge, confirming the end of the apparent exceedence.
4.
Apparent Cause:
The release from the neutralizer tank occurred when the tank was filled above its internal overflow standpipe. The standpipe overflows directly to the mixing basin which discharges to Lake Michigan. The tank contents had not been neutralized at the time of the overflow. The overflow occurred as a result of problems incurred during the resin bed regeneration which required extra volumes of water.
5.
If not immediately corrected, the anticipated time the condition is expected to continue:
NA 6.
Corrective Action - The following corrective action was taken or will be taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent recurrence:
The tank overfill was stopped before 1:00 AM on 5/23/85 when the regeneration was completed. Neutralization of the Tank T-921 contents was completed by 5/24/85 at 5:00 AM. The tank was released normally at that time. Maintenance was performed on the equipment which caused the malfunction during the regeneration. Maintenance was also performed on the neutralizer tank level indicator.
RP0585-0032A-TP15-TP05
i File No P10.2.1 Incident No: PAL-85-05-NC110 7.
Additional Comments:
The exact pH value in the discharge could not be determined because maintenance on the primary pH sonitor left a calibration error preventing measurement below 6.0 pH (see attached sheet). The " backup" pH monitor was operable but its chart recorder was undergoing maintenance at the time.
