NJ0005622 Attached is the Discharge Monitoring Report for Salem Generating Station containing the information as required in Permit No. NJ0005622 for the month of June, 1998.

This report is required by and prepared specifically for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).

It presents only the observed results of measurements and analyses required to be performed by the above agencies. The choice of the measurement devices and analytical methods is controlled by EPA and NJDEP, not by ttie company, and there are limitations on the accuracy of such measurement devices and analytical techniques exen when used and maintained as required. Accordingly, this report is not intended as an assertion that any instrument has measured, or any reading or analytical result represents, the true value with absolute accuracy, nor is it an endorsement of the suitability of any analytical or measurement procedure.

NJPDES Report Explanation of Deviations June, 1998 The following explanations are included to clarify possible deviations from permit conditions.

General - The columns labeled, "No. Ex. " on the enclosed DMR, tabulate the number of daily discharge values outside the indicated limits.

Data reporting and accuracy reflect the working environment, the design capabilities and reliability of the monitoring instruments and operating equipment.

All reported concentrations are based on daily discharge values.

Total residual .chlorine is performed three times per week during chlorination unless otherwise indicated.

Analytical values which are less than detectable are reported as zero unless otherwise indicated.

Analytical results for all parameters other than* pH, temperature, TSS, TRC and Bioassay results are provided by Raytheon Environmental Services Laboratory. (NJDEP certification 77373) or South Jersey Testing Laboratory (NJDEP certification 06431). Bioassay results are provided by ENSR Environmental Toxicology Laboratory (NJDEP certification 82888).

• Net negative discharge values are reported as negative.

489C- Flow thru outfall 489 is calculated based on Oil Water Separator Lift Pump run times.

481-486- Chlorination of the circulation water system normally does not occur except as otherwise noted. Service water system chlorination is normally continuous and is monitored on the circulating water system outfall.

Chlorination of both systems will be indicated by results reported for both and represents their combined effect upon the circulating water outfall.

• ~

NJPDES Report Explanation of Deviations June, 1998 48C - Non-Radioactive Liquid Waste - This system continues to be operated in a batch mode to treat for hydrazine and ammonia by the addition of sodium hypochlorite. No hydrazine has been discharged from this outfall during the reporting period. Residual chlorine is monitored at the outfalls of DSN's 481, 482, 484, and 485, and has not exceeded the permit limits at these outfalls.

The following excursions are included in the attached report and are explained below.

Excursions have not endangered nor significantly impacted public health or the environment.

PSE&G SALEM GENERATING STATION NJPDES PERMIT NO. NJ0005622 DISCHARGE OF OIL - 5 DAY REPORT CASE NO. 98-06-12-0758-23 Per NJAC 7: 14A-6.10 1 PSE&G has prepared this report concerning the discharge of approximately 16 ounces of oil. This discharge occurred through the Salem Generating Station oil/water separator (OWS) outfall (DSN 489) to the Delaware River on June 12 1 1998.

On June 12, the discharge was discovered and confirmed at 7:45 AM during a routine walkdown of the OWS outfall. An oil sheen of approximately two square feet was observed at DSN 489 in the Delaware River. The OWS system treats stormwater runoff and equipment drains from areas within the Salem Generating Station, including equipment containments, yard drains, and parking areas. An estimated 16 ounces of oil passed through the OWS, untreated, during the rain event which began earty on the morning of June 12. The OWS was taken out of service and sorbent booms were placed around the outfall pipe. The OWS effluent chamber was cleaned, and the fuel oil sheen on the influent chamber was removed from the OWS.

NJDEP *JUN 171998 LR-E980310 Because of the small size of the sheen, PSE&G does not believe the discharge posed a threatio human health or the environment. PSE&G notified the National Response Center at 9:45 AM, and the discharge was assigned Case No. 441283. In addition, PSE&G notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to 10 CFR ' 50. 72, Significant Events.

The exact cause of the discharge is not known at this time. PSE&G has initiated an internal investigation through our Corrective Action Program to determine the root cause of the discharge as well as any additional actions warranted to correct the cause of the discharge. The results of this investigation will be forwarded to NJDEP within 30 days after completion of the investigation .

Please contact Don Bowman of my staff at (609) 339-1477 if you have any questions.

SUBJECT:

DETERMINATION OF CIRCULATING WATER FLOW AT SALEM GENERATING STATION-UNIT N0.1 CONDUCTED BY: Joseph Fiumara Sr. Test Engineer, Maplewood Testing Services PURPOSE To determine the flow capacities of the Unit No.1 circulating water pumps.

SUMMARY

On June 23 and 24, 1998 the Mechanical Division of Maplewood Testing Services conducted a series of test runs at Salem Unit No.1 to determine the pump capacities of the 11A, 118, 12A, 128, 13A and *138 {CMS designations H, J, K, M, Land A respectively) circulating water pumps.

Final test results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1.

DISCUSSION .

Total dynamic head is calculated by subtracting the inlet head from the discharge head in feet of water. The discharge pressure is normally taken on the discharge pipe in close proximity to the pump. At Salem the discharge pressure feeler lines are not functional and the pressure is read at the inlet waterbox. Therefore, the observed

-* *

• discharge pressure is affected by the pressure drop in the pipe leading from the pump.

Thls condition causes the total dynamic head to be depressed. When plotted on the pump curve, the data usually falls well below the curve.

P.3 Dave Hurka . July *11. 1998 Sr. Staff Engineer - Nuclear Report No.TP98005 PSE&G TEST METHOD The circulating water flow was determined by fluorometry using MTS Mechanical Division Procedure Mech-40 "Determination of Water Flow Using The Turner Fluorometer". In fluorometry, a dye containing fluorescent particles is injected at a known flow rate sufficiently upstream to insure complete mixing. Dilution of the dye is measured downstream by a fluorometer and the flow is determined as a ratio.
