SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION APPLICATION FOR CHANGE IN CHEMICAL USAGE RATE OF CLAM-TROL CT-1 NPDES PERMIT NO. PA 0047325 CCN 741326 FILE R9-8A PLE- 15525 | |||
==Dear Hr. Swerdon:== | |||
In response to the requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PaDER) "Permitting Guidance on the Conditioned Water Discharges and Use of Chemical Additives," Pennsylvania Power & Light Company (PP&L) requests approval for the use of Clam-trol CT-1 as a replacement for gaseous chlorine at the Susquehanna SES. Gaseous chlorine is used daily to treat microbiologically induced corrosion in the Circulating Water System. | |||
The PaDER has previously approved, in the Susquehanna SES NPDES Permit No. | |||
0047325, the use of Betz Clam-trol CT-1 for treatment of Zebra mussels and Asiatic clams. | |||
Provided in the enclosed information in triplicate are responses to the 12 requirements of this guidance document. In addition, reference materials are provided in appendices. | |||
If you have any questions or comments, please call me at (215) 774-7889. PP&L would like to begin this treatment program by the end of June 1992. | |||

RESPONSES TO REQUIREMENTS OF "PERNITTING GUIDANCE ON THE CONDITIONED MATER DISCHARGES AND USE OF CHEMICAL ADDITIVES" INTRODUCTION PPKL has reviewed several alternatives for the replacement of gaseous chlorine at the Susquehanna SES because of health and safety concerns of station operators. Betz Clam-trol CT-1 was selected because 1) it has been used as a general biocide at other power generating stations, | |||
: 2) is approved for use at the Susquehanna SES for control of mussels and clams, 3) would not require a major engineering modification to station systems, and 4) would be detoxified prior to entering the Susquehanna River the receiving stream. Cl.am-trol CT-1 can be readily detoxified with river solids and Betz DTS, a bentonite slurry. (23X active Bentonite clay.) | |||
Comparing the use of Clam-trol CT-1 to gaseous chlorine for the STATION | |||
, (two units) is as follows: | |||

The short-term fate of the cationic surfactant based molluscicide CT-1, and its effects on larvae of the midge, Chironomus ~ri arius were examined in laboratory and field studies. Levels of free CT-1 dropped sharply when solutions of the molluscicide were mixed with bentonite clay or placed over natural sediments, and were inversely related to the amount of suspended solids in raw river water. In suMhronic (10-d) btoassays with t . ~ri arius the impact of CT-t upon the survival and growth of the organisms was reduced or eliminated in the presence of clay or natural sediment. These results were validated by field studies conducted during the spring and fall of 1990 when midge larvae were exposed to effluent containing CT-1 | |||
'nd clay in ratios between 1:1 and 1:3 during a 24 hr on-site application at a power plant. Larvae were also tested in river sediments which were collected during dosing and up to 21 days after dosing from selected stations above and below the plant discharge. No | |||
~ | |||
significant effects on survival or growth of the larvae were associated with exposure to the CT-1 and clay in either the effluent or river sediments. These data further Indicate that the adsorptive nature of the cationic surfactants in the mollusciclde can serve to mediate its toxicity to non-target organisms such as the midge. | |||

Study Conducted By: | |||
Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory Betz Laboratories, Inc. | |||
Trevose, PA | |||
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if any acute toxicity would be exhibited from long term exposures of Clam-Trol CT-1 detoxified with bentonite clay to fathead minnows and ~~g macon and to determine any evidence of desorption of the actives to a toxic form under these test conditions. | |||
The detoxification of the biocidal activity of Clam-Trol CT-1 is readily achieved by adsorption with a variety of materials and substrates. Once the two cationic actives present in Clam-Trol CT-1 are adsorbed, they no longer exhibit toxicity. The intent of this study was to detoxify toxic levels of Clam-Trol cT-1 and expose aquatic organisms for an extended period to evaluate any acute toxic effects of the detoxified solutions and if any potential desorption of the actives resulted to cause toxicity. | |||

The unique molluscicide applications can be used for exterminating adult Asiatic clams which cause advanced stage fouling conditions in cooling systems and can also be used as part of a preventative program for eliminating larvae and juvenile clams before they attain the adult fouling size which can cause advanced fouling conditions. Clam-Trol CT-1 can also be used as a broad spectrum microbiocide for the control of bacterial, fungal and algal slimes. | |||
Clam-Trol CT-1 contains 13% active ingredients of two cationic surfactants and 87% inert materials. The two cationic surfactants are n-alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | |||

CH3 Quat DGH Both straight chain hydrocarbon containing molecules are referred to as surface active agents and have a hydrophobic tail and positively charged moiety that readily attaches to membranes to induce biocidal activity. The inert materials of this formulation - ethylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, and water - are relatively non-toxic to aquatic organisms. | |||
Several studies on the adsorptive characteristics, aquatic toxicity, biodegradation, environmental fate and detoxification processes have been conducted for these cationic surfactants. The results of these studies are summarized herein. | |||

Rainbow trout: 96 hr LC50 14.7 mg/1 (10 - 15.5 T.L.) | |||
The above LC~> values represent toxicity levels for the neat formulation when 10% of the Free" actives are available to the aquatic organism (that is, no suspended solids for adsorption of the actives). | |||
formulation is exposed to adsorbent material (i.e., bentonite d~, | |||
However, when the clay or activated carbon), acute toxicity is greatly reduced due to the adsorption properties of the active ingredients. Tables 1 to 4 provide t litt t ftt d ~I Trol CT-1 which has been exposed to various concentrations of either f'lam bentonite clay or activated carbon. Even the most sensitive test species, lybaULmm. ff d I fft I t I I I 11 tl adsorb the free actives. A ppm ratio of 1 to 1 of clay to Clam-Trol CT-1 and 2 to 1 of activated carbon to Clam-Trol CT-1 resulted in the reduction of acute toxicity to fathead minnows to the point that the water becomes essentially non-toxic. | |||
Both the LC50 bioassays and the detoxification studies were conducted by the Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory of Betz Laboratories. I | |||
The rate of biodegradation of the quat active was evaluated in both acclimated and unacclimated microbial cultures (Gawel, L.J. 2 Huddlestown, R.L., | |||
Continental Oil Company, 1972). The microorganisms used for the biodegradation tests were derived from both soil and raw city sewage, and which grew on a defined medium. Rates of biodegradation were determined analytically using an extraction procedure to remove all unde-graded ruat. The results reported below present biodegradation data from cultures acclimated for different time intervals to the ruat (ION active). | |||
T A Acclimation ~N Incubation Period 24 hr/48 hr 24 hr/48 hr 24 hr/48 hr 24 hr/48hr Percent Oegraded 37 95 60 97 60 97 15 50 The, reduced rate of biodegradation at 9 days was attributed to the additional transfers of ruat causing an increased biocidal effect upon the cultures. | |||
1 The Rohm and Haas investigation, previous1~4cited, reported biodegradation studies of ruat conducted by exposing the C labelled active to activated sludge. Fresh synthetic sewage (nutrients) and labelled ruat were renewed daily except weekends to a closed culture system durf~g a 24 day study period. | |||
Biological activity was determined by measuring the C02 that was generated from the labelled ruat. In order to allow for acclimation and any toxic effect, dosing of the labelled active started at I ppm and increased gradually over period of days to 10 ppm. Figure I presents the results as the percent C detected in the a~ unde-graded active removed from the closed system and the presentsupernatant C as C02 converted during biological degradation of the ruat. | |||
guring the first f~o weeks, ggg of all labelled guet added to the culture unit was converted to C02. This activity increased to a 9'onversion after a two week accumulation period. It was concluded from this study that biodegradation of the quat was, after a short period of microbial acclimation, quite rapitk-and complete. | |||
Biodegradation of OGH was examined in 1989 using the OECD Screening Test according to EC Directive 79/831. For the DECO study, a OGH solution was diluted with nutritive salt solutions and mud from the biological part of a clarification plant to nearly 40 mg/L OOC in water. The system was shaken at 24 C in the dark for 28 days. Dissolved Organic Carbon (OOC) determinations were used to monitor biodegradability of the OGH compound. Test results are presented in the table below. | |||
i n Pr Day DOC mg/L % Degradation 0 34 1 39 0 4 26 33 7 26 33 14 17 56 18 16 59 22 26 18 13 10 | |||
'754 74 29 31 9 77 Thy OGH exhibited a OOC removal of greater than 70% within 28 days enabling it to be reported as "easily biodegradable" according to the test standard. | |||
In another study (Goldberg, M.C., et.al., 1969), dodecylguanidine acetate (DGA), an agricultural fungicide, was investigated to evaluate the biodegradation potential by microorganisms originating from soil and river muds. Two species of soil bacteria, one an aerobe and another an anaerobe that were isolated on agar plates and then transferred to dodine (DGA) salt media, grew profusely after a 7 day lag period. When these bacterial species were transferred back to dodine-free medium, growth of the organisms was poor. This study provided a demonstration that certain organisms were quite capable of utilizing OGA as the sole source of carbon. | |||
Bioaccumulation studies (Rohm and Haas study) with bluegill sunfish determined the st~~dy state interval, which is the time when adsorption equals elimination using C labelled ruat. The steady state interval occurred in the fish after 2 weeks of continuous exposure at sublethal levels at which time the carbon 14 residues in the carcass and the viscera reached a plateau. The concentration of the biocide in the carcass of the fish at the steady state was 42 times that of the concentration of water. It was also found that the biologicaT half-life of the accumulated residues was short, about 7 days, which was determined by the elimination of the carbon 14 residues when the fish were placed in a biocide-free aquarium. | |||
The bioc1dal activ1ty of Clam-Trol CT-I results from the two cationic surface active agents (DGH and ruat) in this formulation. The product's efficacy is based on its ability to alter or disrupt various membrane systems of the biofouling organisms. These same inherent properties of these agents which provide b1ocidal efficacy are rapidly neutralized upon adsorption to many types of naturally occurring materials thus reducing or eliminat1ng acute toxicity to non target organisms. | |||
Several key characteristics of Clam-Trol CT-I will minimize its environmental impact following its application to cooling systems. These include: | |||
Adsorption rates of both actives are rapid and thus biocidal activity is short-lived. Both actives readily adsorb to suspend material, sediments, and the surfaces within a cooling system. | |||
Both of the active components in the formulation are readily biodegradable. Solutions of ruat have been show to biodegrade by more than 90% in 2 days while solutions of DGH exhibited 7(C biodegration in 28 days. | |||
Clam-, Trol CT-I provides an alternat1ve to chlorine or a number of halogenated organic or metal containing biocides that are considerably less environmentally desirable. | |||
Bioaccumulation of the ruat active has been determined by continuous exposure of low levels of free actives to fish, as reaching a steady state after 2 weeks. The half-life of this accumulated material is short once exposure ceases. | |||
An analytical field method is available for determining the presence of the actives in a treated cooling system. The method is also useful for monitor1ng discharges. | |||
Biofouling treatment programs to cooling systems need to employ innovative technology that will direct applications in a most effective manner to the target organisms. Applications of Clam-Trol CT-I can serve to protect cooling systems from both macrofouling and microfouling problems using state-of-the-art technology. Ho other treatment program exists that can protect a system from infestation by adult mollusks and larvae by employing seasonal applicat1ons. | |||
Effective control and protection can be accomplished within a 24 hour applicatioe. | |||
In addition, Claa-Trol CT-I applications can provide microfouling protection to safety-related cooling systems due to 1ts unique fast-act1ng properties and its ability to permeate slime formations. These are applications that will not cause the corrosive problems that develop from'continuous chlorination nor require extensive treatment periods for control. | |||

Dear Hr. Swerdon:
In response to the requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PaDER) "Permitting Guidance on the Conditioned Water Discharges and Use of Chemical Additives," Pennsylvania Power & Light Company (PP&L) requests approval for the use of Clam-trol CT-1 as a replacement for gaseous chlorine at the Susquehanna SES. Gaseous chlorine is used daily to treat microbiologically induced corrosion in the Circulating Water System.
The PaDER has previously approved, in the Susquehanna SES NPDES Permit No.
0047325, the use of Betz Clam-trol CT-1 for treatment of Zebra mussels and Asiatic clams.
Provided in the enclosed information in triplicate are responses to the 12 requirements of this guidance document. In addition, reference materials are provided in appendices.
If you have any questions or comments, please call me at (215) 774-7889. PP&L would like to begin this treatment program by the end of June 1992.

RESPONSES TO REQUIREMENTS OF "PERNITTING GUIDANCE ON THE CONDITIONED MATER DISCHARGES AND USE OF CHEMICAL ADDITIVES" INTRODUCTION PPKL has reviewed several alternatives for the replacement of gaseous chlorine at the Susquehanna SES because of health and safety concerns of station operators. Betz Clam-trol CT-1 was selected because 1) it has been used as a general biocide at other power generating stations,
- 2) is approved for use at the Susquehanna SES for control of mussels and clams, 3) would not require a major engineering modification to station systems, and 4) would be detoxified prior to entering the Susquehanna River the receiving stream. Cl.am-trol CT-1 can be readily detoxified with river solids and Betz DTS, a bentonite slurry. (23X active Bentonite clay.)
Comparing the use of Clam-trol CT-1 to gaseous chlorine for the STATION

ABSTRACT SUBMITl ED FOR PRESENTATION AT THE SOCIETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY & CHEMISTRY MEETING, NOVEMBER 1991 SHORT-TERM RATE OF A SURFACTANT BASED MOLLUSCICIDE AND ITS EFFECTS UPON A SEDIMENT DWELLLINGORGANISM. J.R. Bidwell, D.S. Chery, J.L. Farris, and L.A. Lyons. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Blacksburg, VA 24061, and BETZ Laboratories, Trevose, PA 19047.
The short-term fate of the cationic surfactant based molluscicide CT-1, and its effects on larvae of the midge, Chironomus ~ri arius were examined in laboratory and field studies. Levels of free CT-1 dropped sharply when solutions of the molluscicide were mixed with bentonite clay or placed over natural sediments, and were inversely related to the amount of suspended solids in raw river water. In suMhronic (10-d) btoassays with t . ~ri arius the impact of CT-t upon the survival and growth of the organisms was reduced or eliminated in the presence of clay or natural sediment. These results were validated by field studies conducted during the spring and fall of 1990 when midge larvae were exposed to effluent containing CT-1
'nd clay in ratios between 1:1 and 1:3 during a 24 hr on-site application at a power plant. Larvae were also tested in river sediments which were collected during dosing and up to 21 days after dosing from selected stations above and below the plant discharge. No
~
significant effects on survival or growth of the larvae were associated with exposure to the CT-1 and clay in either the effluent or river sediments. These data further Indicate that the adsorptive nature of the cationic surfactants in the mollusciclde can serve to mediate its toxicity to non-target organisms such as the midge.

The midge larvae were exposed for 10 days to daily renewal of test solutions.
For the artificial substrate using glass beads, a significant growth impairment resulted from exposures.to CT-1 only and the CT-1:DT-1 ratio of 1:1 and 1:2. This growth impairment was mediated at the 1:3 ratio. Zt should be noted that the Midge larvae on the artificial substrate exhibited lower growth compared to substrate. This is probably both an artifact organisms of the on the natural sterile of the glass beads and an illustration of the extent to which thenature natural sediment mediates CT-1 toxicity.
For the natural substrate using river sediment, the survival of the larvae exposed to all different from the control. test midge concentrations was not significantly Zn addition, growth was only slightly impaired at. the CT-1 only and the 1:1 ratio of CT-1:DT-l. Qrowth was not impaired at the 1:2 ratio.

Study Conducted By:
Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory Betz Laboratories, Inc.
Trevose, PA
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if any acute toxicity would be exhibited from long term exposures of Clam-Trol CT-1 detoxified with bentonite clay to fathead minnows and ~~g macon and to determine any evidence of desorption of the actives to a toxic form under these test conditions.
The detoxification of the biocidal activity of Clam-Trol CT-1 is readily achieved by adsorption with a variety of materials and substrates. Once the two cationic actives present in Clam-Trol CT-1 are adsorbed, they no longer exhibit toxicity. The intent of this study was to detoxify toxic levels of Clam-Trol cT-1 and expose aquatic organisms for an extended period to evaluate any acute toxic effects of the detoxified solutions and if any potential desorption of the actives resulted to cause toxicity.

The unique molluscicide applications can be used for exterminating adult Asiatic clams which cause advanced stage fouling conditions in cooling systems and can also be used as part of a preventative program for eliminating larvae and juvenile clams before they attain the adult fouling size which can cause advanced fouling conditions. Clam-Trol CT-1 can also be used as a broad spectrum microbiocide for the control of bacterial, fungal and algal slimes.
Clam-Trol CT-1 contains 13% active ingredients of two cationic surfactants and 87% inert materials. The two cationic surfactants are n-alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride

The inert materials of this formulation - ethylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, and water - are relatively non-toxic to aquatic organisms.
Several studies on the adsorptive characteristics, aquatic toxicity, biodegradation, environmental fate and detoxification processes have been conducted for these cationic surfactants. The results of these studies are summarized herein.

Radioactive labelled ruat solutions at concentrations of .01 to . 1 ppm were used for studies conducted by Rohm and Haas Company (Krezeminski, SF, et.al.,
1977) to (IItermine adsorptive characteristics to different types oy material.
In these C studies, adsorption was measured by the loss of radioactivity from the labelled solutions exposed to three different types of adsorbent material - river silt, and aquatic plant, and alum floe. Results are reported below:

As with the OGH studies, fiel'd studies conducted by Rohm and Haas have determined the residual ruat concentrations in cooling tower blowdown water at various intervals following biocide application. The adsorptive nature of the active to the surfaces of the cooling system and to particulate material caused a substantial loss.

However, when the clay or activated carbon), acute toxicity is greatly reduced due to the adsorption properties of the active ingredients.

A ppm ratio of 1 to 1 of clay to Clam-Trol CT-1 and 2 to 1 of activated carbon to Clam-Trol CT-1 resulted in the reduction of acute toxicity to fathead minnows to the point that the water becomes essentially non-toxic.
Both the LC50 bioassays and the detoxification studies were conducted by the Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory of Betz Laboratories. I
The rate of biodegradation of the quat active was evaluated in both acclimated and unacclimated microbial cultures (Gawel, L.J. 2 Huddlestown, R.L.,
Continental Oil Company, 1972). The microorganisms used for the biodegradation tests were derived from both soil and raw city sewage, and which grew on a defined medium. Rates of biodegradation were determined analytically using an extraction procedure to remove all unde-graded ruat. The results reported below present biodegradation data from cultures acclimated for different time intervals to the ruat (ION active).
T A Acclimation ~N Incubation Period 24 hr/48 hr 24 hr/48 hr 24 hr/48 hr 24 hr/48hr Percent Oegraded 37 95 60 97 60 97 15 50 The, reduced rate of biodegradation at 9 days was attributed to the additional transfers of ruat causing an increased biocidal effect upon the cultures.
1 The Rohm and Haas investigation, previous1~4cited, reported biodegradation studies of ruat conducted by exposing the C labelled active to activated sludge. Fresh synthetic sewage (nutrients) and labelled ruat were renewed daily except weekends to a closed culture system durf~g a 24 day study period.
Biological activity was determined by measuring the C02 that was generated from the labelled ruat. In order to allow for acclimation and any toxic effect, dosing of the labelled active started at I ppm and increased gradually over period of days to 10 ppm. Figure I presents the results as the percent C detected in the a~ unde-graded active removed from the closed system and the presentsupernatant C as C02 converted during biological degradation of the ruat.
guring the first f~o weeks, ggg of all labelled guet added to the culture unit was converted to C02. This activity increased to a 9'onversion after a two week accumulation period. It was concluded from this study that biodegradation of the quat was, after a short period of microbial acclimation, quite rapitk-and complete.
Biodegradation of OGH was examined in 1989 using the OECD Screening Test according to EC Directive 79/831. For the DECO study, a OGH solution was diluted with nutritive salt solutions and mud from the biological part of a clarification plant to nearly 40 mg/L OOC in water. The system was shaken at 24 C in the dark for 28 days. Dissolved Organic Carbon (OOC) determinations were used to monitor biodegradability of the OGH compound. Test results are presented in the table below.
i n Pr Day DOC mg/L % Degradation 0 34 1 39 0 4 26 33 7 26 33 14 17 56 18 16 59 22 26 18 13 10
'754 74 29 31 9 77 Thy OGH exhibited a OOC removal of greater than 70% within 28 days enabling it to be reported as "easily biodegradable" according to the test standard.
In another study (Goldberg, M.C., et.al., 1969), dodecylguanidine acetate (DGA), an agricultural fungicide, was investigated to evaluate the biodegradation potential by microorganisms originating from soil and river muds. Two species of soil bacteria, one an aerobe and another an anaerobe that were isolated on agar plates and then transferred to dodine (DGA) salt media, grew profusely after a 7 day lag period. When these bacterial species were transferred back to dodine-free medium, growth of the organisms was poor. This study provided a demonstration that certain organisms were quite capable of utilizing OGA as the sole source of carbon.
Bioaccumulation studies (Rohm and Haas study) with bluegill sunfish determined the st~~dy state interval, which is the time when adsorption equals elimination using C labelled ruat. The steady state interval occurred in the fish after 2 weeks of continuous exposure at sublethal levels at which time the carbon 14 residues in the carcass and the viscera reached a plateau. The concentration of the biocide in the carcass of the fish at the steady state was 42 times that of the concentration of water. It was also found that the biologicaT half-life of the accumulated residues was short, about 7 days, which was determined by the elimination of the carbon 14 residues when the fish were placed in a biocide-free aquarium.
The bioc1dal activ1ty of Clam-Trol CT-I results from the two cationic surface active agents (DGH and ruat) in this formulation. The product's efficacy is based on its ability to alter or disrupt various membrane systems of the biofouling organisms. These same inherent properties of these agents which provide b1ocidal efficacy are rapidly neutralized upon adsorption to many types of naturally occurring materials thus reducing or eliminat1ng acute toxicity to non target organisms.
Several key characteristics of Clam-Trol CT-I will minimize its environmental impact following its application to cooling systems. These include:
Adsorption rates of both actives are rapid and thus biocidal activity is short-lived. Both actives readily adsorb to suspend material, sediments, and the surfaces within a cooling system.
Both of the active components in the formulation are readily biodegradable. Solutions of ruat have been show to biodegrade by more than 90% in 2 days while solutions of DGH exhibited 7(C biodegration in 28 days.
Clam-, Trol CT-I provides an alternat1ve to chlorine or a number of halogenated organic or metal containing biocides that are considerably less environmentally desirable.
Bioaccumulation of the ruat active has been determined by continuous exposure of low levels of free actives to fish, as reaching a steady state after 2 weeks. The half-life of this accumulated material is short once exposure ceases.
An analytical field method is available for determining the presence of the actives in a treated cooling system. The method is also useful for monitor1ng discharges.
Biofouling treatment programs to cooling systems need to employ innovative technology that will direct applications in a most effective manner to the target organisms. Applications of Clam-Trol CT-I can serve to protect cooling systems from both macrofouling and microfouling problems using state-of-the-art technology. Ho other treatment program exists that can protect a system from infestation by adult mollusks and larvae by employing seasonal applicat1ons.

In addition, Claa-Trol CT-I applications can provide microfouling protection to safety-related cooling systems due to 1ts unique fast-act1ng properties and its ability to permeate slime formations. These are applications that will not cause the corrosive problems that develop from'continuous chlorination nor require extensive treatment periods for control.
