3. The non-chemical metal cleaning consists of or contains particulate debris from the steam generators and feedwater piping.

4. The waste water from the non-chemical metal cleaning process will be routed through diatomaceous earth and cartridge filters for treatment prior to discharge to the Full Flow Condensate Polishing Regenerant waste stream, a low volume in plant waste.

5. The discharge of non-chemical metal cleaning waste is subject to USEPA Effluent Guidelines for Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category, as specified in 40 CFR 4 23.12 (b) 5.
