(, All analyses and operating data substantiate that no hazardous or toxic materials were ever present in the influent or effluent of the setling pond. This is consistent with the anticipated usage as submitted in the NJPDES/DGW and NJPDES/DSW permit applications.

6.0 CLOSURE METHOD Closure and decommissioning of the settling pond includes the following specific areast

• Bulk Water, *

• Settled solids (sludge) removal and disposal,

• Renioval and disposition of the liner,

• Disposition of piping, pump and equipment and

• Disposition of earthen material.

6.1 Bulk Water Bulk water remaining in the settling pond will be discharged to the Delaware River in accordance with the NJPDES/DSW permit including all required analyses.

Effluent water quality will be reported on the DSN 463b DMR for the respective month. This does not differ from the normal operating practice for settling pond

[A /~') bulk water discharge.

6.2 Settled Solids Settled solids (sludge) will be analyzed for EP Toxicity and pH by a New Jersey Certified Laboratory.4 Previous analytical results as presented in Exhibit through Exhibit 7 indicate the sludge will not be hazardous. The sludge will be removed by vacuum or pump to trailer trucks and transported to the E.I.

DuPont Chambers Works in Deepwater, New Jersey (Treatment Plant number 2385730) for disposal or dewatered and transported to an approved landfill.

6.3 Settling Pond Liner The settling pond liner of 30 mil thick Dacron into Reinforced High Density Polyethylene will be cut manageable pieces gnd utilized throughout the site asThe dropcioths, tarpaulins and other similar purposes.

liner has never been used to contain hazardous wastes and will be recycled into productive use at the site.

6.4 Piping, Pump and Equipment IV)

Piping and components within the power generation facilities (areas 13 and 18 on Exhibit 1) will be used for their design functions within the processes of the plant. This includes the 60,000 gallon holding tank and enclosed sump used as intermediary storage and transfer facilities. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping used for transfer of flush water to the settling pond and the recycle piping to the mobile domineralizers will be removed at all above ground locations. Underground piping will be removed where practicable and the remainder will be plugged or

• grouted. Installed flowmeters will be The removed and surface retained for general station usage.

impoundment discharge pump All will be removed and retained remaining valves, for general station usage.

piping and appurtenances will be removed and retained for general station usage where practicable.

6.5 Earthen Material The earthen backfill used for the retaining walls (see Exhibit 2, Section A-A) will be razed using earth moving equipment to support the existing and design grade. Baseline grade level of 12.5 feet above mean

(~1 sea level will be used as the reference and the earthen

\

material will be graded to alleviate low areas and support design rainfall drainage. No wetlands will be affected. The South Storm Drain, DSN 463A, is the normal outfall for rainwater runoff in this area and is identified as item number 33 on Exhibit 1.
