t NONCOMPLIANCES OCTOBER 1985 On October 3, 1985, approximately 200 gallons of oil were in-advertently discharged from the yard oil separator through outfall 002. The release was terminated immediately upon discovery.

Although no analysis was performed on the discharge, it was obvious that the concentration of oil and grease exceeded the effluent limitation of 20 mg/1. Sorbent booms in place in the ditch contained the oil in the immediate vicinity of the outfall (still on Waterford 3 property) until the oil was removed from the ditch. The cause of the incident was a f ailed gasket in the separator, which was repaired im-mediately upon discovery, prior to restarting the separator.
