XII. BASIS FOR PROPOSED PERMIT LIMITATIONS Total Suspended Solids (TSSM The average and maximum TSS limits of 30 mg/I and 45 mg/I are based on secondary treatment standards and engineering judgment. Secondary treatment standards describe the minimum effluent quality attainable by econdary treatment for sanitary wastewater [40 CFR 133.102].

At Outfall 011 the average and maximum TSS limits of "Report" and 30 mg/I are based on engineeringjud ment. At Outfalls 013 and 014 the average and maximum TSS limits of "Report" are based on engineering judgmei t.

Oil & Grease The average and maximum effluent limit of 15 mg/I and 20 mg/I are categorical limitations defined in 40 CfR 423.12 (BPT) for low-volume wastewater.

Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)

The average and maximum TRC limits of "Report" and 0.5 mg/I placed on outfalls 010 and 016 are based on engineering judgment.

At Outfall 004, the average and maximum "Report" only limits is based on engineeringjudgment.

Chlorination Duration The duration of chlorination limit of 120 minutes per day per unit is a categorical limitation defined in 40 CFR 423.12 (BPT) and 40 CFR 423.13 (BAT).

Temperature (EF)

The average and maximum temperature limit of "Report" only is based on engineering judgment.

Thermal Mixing Zone The receiving water shall not exceed a maximum water temperature change of2.8 degrees Celsius (5.0 degrees Fahrenheit) relative to the upriver temperature, outside a mixing zone not exceeding a maximum width of 60 feet from the river edge 2082 PER20070001 16

and a maximum length of 6,000 feet downstream from the point of discharge, as measured at a depth of 5 feet. The river edge shall be defined as being no further east than the mouth of the barge slip. The maximum water temperature shall not exceed 32.A degrees Celsius (90 degrees Fahrenheit) outside the same mixing zone, except then ambient temperatures approach or exceed this value.

Thermal MWdeling:

Thermal monitoring shall be performed any time the river stage is less than 0.5 feet (Vicksburg gauge) during winter months (November-April) or, is less than minus 1.2 feet (Vicksburg gauge) during the summer months (May-October). If these conditions occur and the plant is generating power, monitoring shall be performed upriver at PT. I (surface/5 feet sub-surface), Discharge Outlet, Barge Slip Outlet, and down river at PT.7. However, once monitoring has been performed at river stages less than those cited (0.5 feet during the winter months and minus 1.2 feet during the summer months), the river stages which existed at the time of thermal modeling, will then become the standard river stage during which a subsequent monitoring exercise must be performed if the river falls below that stage. Thorough documentation shall be maintained ?n file of the river stage during each period of thermal monitoring. This policy is subject to modification if any data collected during a particular stage indicates temperature variations not previously measured. Additionally, thermal monitoring shall be performed during the winter of 2013/2014 and the summer of 2014. Results shall be included with the application for permit re-issuance. Agreement regarding specific conduct of the thermal monitoring shall be determined prior to implementation.

Biochemical Oxygen Demand - 5 day (BODs)

The average and maximum BOD9 limits of 30 mgfl and 45 mg/I are based on secondary treatment standards and engineering judgment. Secondary treatment standards describe the minimum effluent quality attainable by secondary treatment for sanitary wastewater [40 CFR 133.102].

Fecal Coliform Fecal colifo*m limits are water quality based effluent limits (WQBELs) defined in section 111.4 of WPC-2 for streams classified as!"Fish and Wildlife". For the months of May through October (summer), fecal coliform shall not exceed an average conrentration of 200 colonies per 100 ml and a maximum concentration of 400 colonies per 100 ml. For the months of November through April (winter), fecal coliform shall not exceed an average concentration of 2000 colonies per 100 ml and a maximum concentration of 4000 colonies per 100 ml.

Total Recoverable Zinc The average and maximum total recoverable zinc limits of 1.0 mg/i are categorical limitations defined in 40 CFR 423.13 (BAT) for cooling tower blowdown.

i 2082 PER20070001 17

The total recoverable zinc maximum limit of 0.065 mg/I is a WQBEL determined using the State of Mississippi Water Quality Criteria (WPC-2). This limit was established because the permittee failed the acute toxicity screen ?erformed on zinc monitoring data provided in compliance with Part I condition B.! (a) of the current permit.

Total Recoverable Iron The permittee failed the total iron acute toxicity screen because ofa variability factor, i.e. only one sample wa; provided on the application. Based on engineering judgment, the applicant will be required to monitor Outfall 01until 12 monthly effluent samples that are representative of all 4 seasons have been analyzed. If this data indicates a 5olation of water quality standards, the NPDES permit may be modified.

Total Recoverable Arsenic The permittee failed the total arsenic acute toxicity screen because of a variability factor, i.e only one sample was provided on the application. Based on engineering judgment, the applicant will be required to monitor Outf4 014 until 12 monthly effluent samples that are representative of all 4 seasons have been analyzed. If this data indicates violation of water quality standards, the NPDES permit may be modified.

Total Recoverable Copper Only one analysis was performed and reported on the renewal application for total copper. Using tht reported concentration, Outfall 014 failed the acute and chronic toxicity screen. Instead of establishing a water quility based effluent limit (WQBEL) based on I analysis, the applicant will be required to monitor Outfall 014 until 1 monthly effluent samples that are representative of all 4 seasons have been analyzed. If this data indicates a violatio* of water quality standards, the NPDES permit may be modified.l pHH The minimum and maximum pH effluent limits of 6.0 s.u. and 9.0 s.u. are WQBELs that reflect the WPC-2 requirement for the normal pH of waters to be 6.0 to 9.0.

ATTACHMENT B TOXICITY SCREENING Grand Gulf Nuclear Station has three external discharge points. Outfall 001 is a combination of internal outfalls 002, 004, 005, 006 and 0 11 that discharges directly into the Mississippi: River. Outfall 013 consists of the combined discharge from the Bechtel Shop; vehicle maintenance shop; Ice House Condensate; Standby Service.

Water Leakage; Construction and Site Runoff; Once-through cooling Water; site processing facility HVAC; Internal Outfall 010 (Sanitary); Internal Outfall 016 (Energy SerVice System) which discharges to Hamilton Lake.

Outfall 014 consists of a discharge from sedimentation basin B which includes water from internal Outfall 007; standby service water leakage and releases; intermittent circulation water basin overflows; and stormwater runoff.

Outfalls 004, 005 and 006 are internal outfalls that discharge through Outfall 002 which discharge to Hamilton Lake.

For Outfall 002 when discharged to Outfall 007 and thence to Outfall 014 During plant outages when the Circulating Water System is drained, there is a portion of the Circulating Water System that cannot be discharged via Outfall 002. This portion of effluent is manually pumped into the 100-year storm ditch and discharged via Outfall 007 (thence to Outfall 014). To predict if there would be a violation to water quality, a toxicity screen for this discharge was performed on those parameters that were reported at concentration above the minimum quantification levels (MQL's). Because this effluent is normally part ýf Outfall 002, a toxicity screen for this discharge was performed for using the data provided on the application fo Outfall 002. Since this type of discharge will seldom occur, only an acute toxicity screen is applicable to this dicharge option.

This portion of effluent is manually pumped into the 100-year storm ditch and discharged via Outfall 007 (thence to Outfall 014). To, predict if there would be a violation to water quality, a toxicity screen for this discharge was performed on those parameters that were: reported at concgntration above the mimimum quantification levels (MQL's). Because this. effluent is normally part of Outfal1 002; a toxicity screen for this discharge was performed for using thedata provided on the application for Outfall. 002.

An acute toxicity screen could not be performed on Iron, Magnesium, Arsenic and Mercury because there are no acute water quality criteria available, for these parameters. Because this type of.discharge is not routine, there should not be any chronic or human health impacts. Therefore, a chronic and human health, screen will also not be performed for the aforementioned parameters.
