Newbold Chief, Facilities Section Bureau of Water Quality Management Department of Environmental Resources 1875 New Hope Street Norristown, PA 19401 RE: Limerick Generating Station, NPDES Permit PA 0051926

Dear Mr. Newbold:

In accordance with Section 92.7, " Reporting of New or Increased Discharges", of the Department's Rules and Regulations, we hereby request permission to use NALCO Acti-Brom 1338 (brominated salt) at Limerick Generating Station, discharge point 001 (Combined Discharge). We expect that the use of the Acti-Brom 1338 will not violate any effluent limitations specified in the above referenced NPDES permit.

The NALCO product will be used as a chlorine enhancer during a testing program conducted at the station. The purpose of the testing program will be to evaluate the performance of the NALCO product. The testing program is expected to begin sometime in March, 1987 and continue for approximately 2 weeks. If results of the program are successful, the NALCO product may be used on a regular r basis at the station.

Philadelphia Electric Company 2301 Market Street P.O. Box 8699 Mtiladelphia, PA 19101 Attention: Mr. W.B. Willsey Director - Environmental Affairs Re: Use of Brcxninated Salts in l Condenser Cooling Water.

Gentlemen:

This will respond to your June 12, 1985 letter which provided additional infor-mation regarding the use of brominated salts (such as NA100 Acti-Brom 1338 and Water Science Activox) at ycor Company's Cromby, Eddystone, Delaware, Southwark and Schuylkill Gcuerating Stations.

4 Based upon our review we wish to advise that we have no objection to the use of l

brominated salts in the condenser cooling water at the aforementioned Generating Stations.

It will be necessary to limit tL Free Available Chlorine and the Total Residual l Oxidant in the condenser cooling water discharge in accordance with the NPDES I permit requirements. Your letter notes that the discharge li2 nit of 0.2 mg/l of

Total Residual Oxidant in once through cooling water is limited for each

[ generating unit to only two hours per day. Please note that the requirement

! does not represent an average analysis made over the two hour period of time but rather represents an instantaneous maximum value.

If you have any further questions, please contact me.

! Ve truly yours, OS A. FBOIA Regional Water Quality Manager cc: Donald Knorr Permits Section Re 30 1W170.3 i
