May 14,1997 Docket No. 50-443 NYN-97049 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn.: Document Control Desk Washington,D.C. 20555 Seabrook Station Environmental Protection Plan Nonroutine Reports The Seabrook Station Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) requires that important events that indicate or could result in significant environmental impact causally related to plant operation be reported to the NRC within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> followed by a written report in accordance EPP Section 5.4.2 (Nonroutine Reports).
Paragraph 1 below describes events that North Atlantic reported to the National Marine Fisheries Sc.vice (NMFS) which, upon review, we believe should also have been reported to the NRC. In addition, Section 3.2 of the EPP requires North Atlantic to notify the NRC of proposed changes to the NPDES permit by providing a copy of the proposed change. That same section also requires that North Atlantic provide a copy of any approved change to the NPDES permit. Paragraph 2 below describes a change to the NPDES permit that we now believe should have been reported to the NRC.
1.
On April 21,1997, North Atlantic provided official written notification to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) that, by June 15, 1997, it would file a small take exemption permit application in accordance with Section 101 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and 50 CFR 216.104. The exemption permit is necessary due to the incidental impingement of seals and seal
[
parts in the plant's cooling water system intakes. The decision to file such an application was made I
as e result of the increased rate of seal taking over the last several years. At least twenty-seven seals have been impinged since the plant began operation. In parallel with the permit application, North Atlantic is investigating alternative means of deterring or mitigating seals from entering the g%
cooling water system through the ofTshore intakes. The NRC Resident inspector has been briefed on this issue.
2.
On January 13,1995, North Atlantic submitted a letter to the EPA requesting their approval to initiate the use of methoxypropylamine (MPA) as a secondary chemistry control agent at Scabrook Station. This request was.made because Seabrook Station's NPDES Permit (Part
- I.A.I.o) did not identify MPA as an approved chemical. North Atlantic requested that the EPA approve the water discharge of MPA at a maximum discharge concentration of 0.5 ppm. The EPA and New llampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) approved the requested use of MPA on April 13,1995 and April 21,1995 respectively.

On August 24,1995 North Atlantic reported the impingement of the aforementioned seal [ Reference (b)).

Reference:
Seabrook Station NPDES Permit NH0020338
Subject:
Request to Use Methoxypropylamine at Seabrook Station
Dear Mr. McSweeney:
North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation (Nonh Atlantic) hereby requests EPA approval to initiate the use of methoxypropylamine (MPA) as a secondary chemistry control agent at Seabrook Station i
pursuant to Part I, Section A.I.o. of the refere'nced NPDES Pennit.
Currently North Atlantic utilizes ethanolamine (ETA) in conjunction with hydrazine as the j
secondary chemistry control agents. Hydrazine and ETA are currently approved for water discharge at a maximum discharge concentration of 0.5 ppm as specified in Part I, Section A.l.o. of the referenced NPDES Permit. This combination of additives has proven effective in reducing final feedwater iron concentration to 3-4 ppb. This range is below the 5 ppb guideline recommended by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), but still above North Atlantic's target of I ppb to help ensure reliable operations and enhance steam generator integrity. The EPRI Advanced Amine Application Guidelines
in conjunction with ETA and a reduced hydrazine application will yield further improvements in secondary chemistry. Several utilities throughout the United States presently use MPA with excellent results. Secondary chemistry control is a primary concern in Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) with the goal of minimizing the buildup of corrosion products and maximizing the long tenn reliability of equipment, panicularly the Steam Generators.
The current NPDES Permit does not identify MPA as an approved chemical in Part 1, Section A.I.o. This section of the NPDES Permit requires written approval by the Regional Administrator and Director or their. designees for chemical substitutions. This section also requires that proposed substitutions be demonstrated to have an aquatic toxicity less than or equal to the approved chemicals.
Accordingly, North Atlantic hereby requests that the EPA approve the water discharge of MPA at a maximum discharge concentration of 0.5 ppm. In suppon of this request, North Atlantic has enclosed the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for MPA. The toxicity data provided herein for MPA demonstrates that MPA has n' lesser toxicity than Hydrazine (Reference NPDES Fact Sheet for Hydrazine toxicity).

R. Jeb DeLoach, Director Special Projects North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation P. O. Box 300 SO brook, New Hampshire 03874 R3: Proposed Use of Methoxypropylamine N.A.E.S.C.,
Seabrook Station, NPDES Permit NH0020338
-D3cr Mr. DeLoach:
Thic letter is in response to your letter of January 13, 1995 requesting ths use of methoxypropylamine (MPA) in conjunction with ethanolamine (ETA) and a reduced application of hydrazine at Seabrook Station.
You have correctly interpreted your responsibilities under Part I, Section A.1.o.
for notification of a change in the station wastewater discharge ch:mistry and for notification of the use of chemicals not identified in tha permit effluent' limitations section of the permit or in the permit cpplication.
EPA has reviewed the aquatic toxicity data included in the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for MPA, which were submitted with your January 13, lotter.
EPA concurs that MPA has a lesser toxicity than hydrazine, which along with ETA are currently approved as corrosion inhibitors in the cacondary steam cycle system.
Also EPA has reviewed the list of pow r/ industrial plants [ correspondence: R. Sher (Seabrook Station) to N. Prodany (EPA), 03/27/95] throughout the United States that currently are and/or have been using MPA in their utility system to improve secondary ch:mistry control.
Baced on this information, EPA does not expect the water discharge of MPA at a maximum discharge concentration of 0.5 ppm to significantly impact the cquatic community or public health.
Therefore, the use of m:thoxypropylamine (MPA) as proposed becomes effective immediately.
Should you have any questions, please contact Dr. N. W. Prodany of my staff ct 617-565-3587.

Dear Mr.-DeLoach:
I i
Reference is made to your letter to Mr. Edward K. McSweeney of the U.S. Environmental Protection Ageng (EPA) dated January 13,1995. In your letter you request approval for the
'i use of methoxypropylamine (MPA) as a secondary chemistry control agent at Seabrook i
Station pursuant to Part I.A.I.o of your NPDES / State surface water discharge permit..
Reference is also made to a letter to'you from Mr. Edward K. McSweeney of EPA dated April.13,1995 in which EPA approved the request.
g i
Upon review of the information provided in your letter as well as Part I.A.I.o. of your
{
permit, the~ Department of Environmental Services concurs with EPA and approves the use of
-)
up to 0.5 mg/l of MPA in conjunction with the ethanolamine and the reduced application of I
hydrazine (both previously approved) for secondary chemistry control. Accordingly, MPA is
- added to the list of chemicals approved for use at Seabrook Station that are listed on page 9 of 26 of your Stite discharge permit.
J If you have any questions relative to this matter, do not hesitate to call Jeff Andrews of my staff at 271-2457.
