Dear Mr. Martin:
Re: Service Water Chlorination Study The approved r,eferenced study resulted in continuous chlorination occurring the first few days of December, 1986.
Item 3 of your October 28, 1986 letter to Mr. Willard Bowers required both Total Residual and Free Available Chlorine (TRC/FAC) data be submitted with the Discharge Monitoring Report and on a monthly basis. Please find enclosed TRC/FAC data collected as a part of the above referenced study during December, l
1986.
There were two occcassions where activities associated with the referenced study resulted in permit or study conditions not being met. On l
October 28, 1986 the permit reqirement for TRC sampling every 30 minutes I
during ci11orination was not performed on Unit 2.
This incident is attributable to a design problem which resulted in the mislabeling of i
i service water chlorinator discharge lines which caused chlorination of Unit i
2 instead of Unit 1 on the programs first day. This condition occurred on October 28, 1986 from 1225 to 1544. Appropriate labeling was placed on all equipment to compensate for the design error. Appropriate design changes i
will be made at the plant to ensure proper chlorination.
4 The second item, wich was revised, involved Item 1 of your October 28, 1986 letter to Mr. Willard Bowers.
Item I required less than detectable TRC levels be maintained at the river discharge structure.
There was some difficulty in controlling the chlorine levels based on the variable chlorine demand which occurred during the initial start-up of the study. As a result, a TRC value of 0.1 ppm occurred at the river discharge structure at the following times: October 28, 1986 from 1700 to 1900; October 29,1986 from 0000 to 0300; and October 30, 1986 from 0100 to 0300.
Mr. James P. Martin Page 2 January 13, 1987 Upon discovery of each occurrence the chemical feed rate was immediately reduced and smaller incremental changes in the chemical addition rate was instituted.
Should you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Mr. Mike Godfrey.
