Nine Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station SPDES Permit # NY001015 Please find attached a listing of NMPC's proposed changes to the current State Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit (SPDES) for the above-mentioned facility. These changes had been discussed with Mr. William McCarthy of your office during his most recent site visit of September 17,1997. The majority of these changes are editorial modifications to the SPDES permit.

If you have any additional questions or need any additional assistance in your review of the Permit Modification request, please feel free to contact Mr. Carey M. Merritt at (315) 349-4200.

. Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation Nine Mile Point Generating Station SPDES Permit #NY001015 SPDES Permit Modification Requests 1.

In the Unit 2 circulating water system pump area are sumps that discharge to Outfall 040.

NMPC requests that a newly designated Outfall 040B, Circulating Water Pumps - Area Sumps, be assigned for these sumps and that an oil and grease parameter be established; The discharge limitation of 15 mg/ liter for a daily max would be the recommended limits for Outfall 040B; This outfall should be sampled once per month. This permit change related to the non-compliance report of dated June 10,1997 as submitted to the Department on the same date.

2.

On page 6 of 16, NMPC requests that a footnote be added at the bottom of the page -

footnote #4, that designates an emergency discharge from both Units 1 and 2 of fire foam contaminated waters to the sewage treatment plant, Outfal1030. The addition of this footnote is in reference to the non compliance report dated May 19,1997 as submitted to i

the Department on this same date.

'3.

For Units I and 2, the forebay cleaning is necessary to remove zebra mussels and setticable solids from these structures to assure the necessary flows for cooling. It is NMPC's intent to construct settling basins outside the screen house for the respective facilities to allow for the settling out' of solids from future cleaning evolutions. It is l

requested that the discharge limits for these new outfalls, Outfalls 010A, Unit 1 Forebay L

Cleaning Basin and 040A, Unit 2 Forebay Cleaning Br. sin have daily average limit of 50 l

L mg/ liter for total suspended solids and a daily maximum of 100 mg/ liter. It is requested j

e frequency be two samples per month, that they be grab samples from these newly created (outfalls and that they only be sampled during the cleaning evolution of the forebaysJ Outfall 010A will discharge to Outfall 020 and Outfall 040A will discharge to Outfall 001.-

+-

'4.

On paEe 4 of 16, for Outfallir13 - Unh One Oil SpilIRetention Basins, it is requested that -

the samplin;; frequency be changed frorn " monthly" to "cach discharge". This retention -

+

basin only discharges when it reaches a given level and prior to the discharge NMPC samples the basin to apure compliance with the listed parameters.

n 5.

On page 2 of16, for Outfall Condenser Cooling Water, Unit 1, it is requested that the sample type for the parammea of discharge temperature and intake temperature 7

difference be changed from metered to recorder. This is similar to the sample type for Outfall 040 at Unit 2.

6.

On page 4 of 16, Outfall 024 - NMPC-1 Diesel Off Loading Pad Drainage, it is requested

- that the sampling frequency be changed from monthly to each discharge for the same reasons as listed above in Conunent #4.-

7.

It is requested for Outfalls 011, Unit One Wastewater, and Outfall 041, Unit Two wastewater, that an additional parameter for total suspended solid:, ce added to these two outfalls with a monitoring frequency of quarterly as set forth in footnotej on page 4 of 16.

B.

' On page 4 of 16, footnote uppercase (I) needs to be changed to lower case (i). This -

avoids confusion as it is currently printed with footnote 1.

NMPC requests for Outfal1007, on page 3 of 16, that the oil and grease parameter with a sampling frequency of quarterly basis be removed from the permit along with the footnote (j) designation. Flows from Outfall 007 drainage stmetures do not exhibit the high purity wastewater as designated in footnote (j).

On page 6 of 16, under the monitoring requirements for the parameter of flow, the box GPD should be checked ofI in place of MGD for consistency purposes for the parameter of flow underneath Efiluent Limitations, 13.

Betz Dearborn has made name changes to two products used at the NMP facility. The changes are CT-Z 'o spectrus CT1300 as listed on page 5 of 16 of the permits. The other product name change is Copper-Trol CU-l to Inhibitor AZ8103, this product is listed on page 3 of 16 of the permit. Please find attached the letter from Betz

conditions or in situations where the logged data is near the outfall limitation, chart recorder data will be reviewed and utilized to demonstrate compliance."

SUBJECT:

PRODUCT NOMENCLATURE

Dear Carey:

As we have recently discussed, BetzDearbeam is in the process of reorganizing and renaming all of our products. With the purchase of

Dearborn Chemical,

we have gained new technologies, as well es much duplication in our various product lines. In order to fully integrate the best of t'ne two technologies, we have restructured our products into what we call our "World Class Technology" product line. In order to do this, new names have been assigned to the products that you purchase from us. In all cases, this is a name change only.

The composition and use of all of the products remains the same.

4 I have spoken to 14r, Paul Kolakowski at the New York State D E.C. concerning this renaming process, and he has assured me that our customers do not need to have their SPDES permits modified. All that is needed is a letter notifying the DEC that a name change has occurred. The only time that this will be viewed as a change to plant discharge, is if a significant change ia composition or application occurs.

The following table summarizes the existing and new product names. Even though you have not yet been given permission to use the new phosphonate containing tower treatment product, I have included it here. MSDS and all other supporting literature for the newly named products will be provided prior to their delivery.
