Dear Ms:

NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION PERMIT NO. NJ0005622 March 13, 1985 Attached are the Discharge Monitoring Report forms for Salem Nuclear Generating Station containing the information as quired in Permit No. NJ0005622 for the month of February 1985. The information contained in this report presents the observed results required by the Environmental Protection Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, obtained in accordance with approved methods with respect to sampling, sis, monitoring and methods of reporting.

The reporting of the data and the accuracy of the results reflect the working environment, design capabilities and reliability of the instrumentation.

Discharge sampling locations 482 and 485 are set up and used for ongoing entrainment studies. This precludes any sampling activities.

Since all chemical treatments of or discharges to the circulating water system are common with at least one other discharge, those values are assumed to be identical.

This assumption is made for all identified parameters.

The columns labeled, "No, Ex.", in the enclosed Discharge Monitoring Report forms tabulate the number of observed results that were above or below, as appropriate, the limits contained in the permit; the limits are reflected on the enclosed forms. 8504050381 850313 PDR ADOCK 05000272 R PDR The Energy People 95*2189 (20MI 11*81 "NJPDES e Discharge Monitoring . -3/13/85 Reports Pursuant to Consent Order EPA-CWA-II-82-77 (May 27, 1983), entered by EPA and NJDEP 1 the following limits apply to the from DSN 48C until July 1, 1985.

Report Explanation of February 3/13/85 The following exclusions are included in the attached report and explained below. Exclusions have not endangered nor significantly impacted health or the environment.

DMR NO. 481, 483, 481, 483 484, 486 FAC 48C 487 487A EXPLANATION DIFFERENTIAL TEMPERATURE

-Programatic errors have been identified as the possible cause of some high values. These are being investigated.

TSS -It has been indicated that a large amount of silt has accumulated in the general area of the intake structure which intermittantly draws it in through the pump suctions.

Current plans include the dredging of the take to eliminate this phenomenon.

FRC -Chlorination terminated on indication of residuals.

Facility Heat Release -This is a calculated value based on the suspect values noted above. NH 3 , Iron -Investigation has dicated the inadequacy of the facility to support two unit operation. struction of a new facility is in progress.

TSS -Possible disturbance of sampling manhole is the suspected cause of the high value obtained.

BOD -An evaluation of the cause of the high BOD value is being conducted.
