Subject:

Limerick Generating Station NPDES Pennit No. PA0051926 As per our recent meeting at Limerick Generating Station, enclosed is a letter requesting a temporary approval for the use of Betz products PECo 3, PEC10 and PECl2. The chemicals are replacements for the currently used PECo 4 and PECo 5 and will be used for corrosion and deposition control in the cooling water system. As.

was discussed at our meeting, the current fonnulations have performed well, however,

. the active components are not combined to provide Dexibility in optimizing chemical l usage. By using the same active components in a three product program, we can j improve performance of the program, reduce costs, and reduce environmental discharges.

We are requesting that the approval be for a 6-month period. During this time, a competitive bid process for a replacement program will be completed. At that time, we will petition the Department for a permanent amendment to the permit.

Enclosed is additional infonnation concerning usage rates, Material Safety Data ,

Sheets, and Aquatic Toxicity Data. Since this program will result in significant benefits to both station operations and the environment, your immediate attention to this matter would be appreciated.

A copy'of this letter (including any attachments or enclosures) is being sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) in accordance with the Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, Environmental Protection Plan, Section 3.2, which stipulates that USNRC shall receive a copy of any proposed changes to the NPDES permit at the same time that the permitting agency is notified.

L1MER1Cx GENERATING STATION PLANT DIVISION Chemistry Section April 14, 1994 FROM: R. W. Boyce TO: G. M. Morley SUELTECT: LGS NPDES PERMIT PA0051926 REVISION -

Currently, both LGS cooling towers are treated with two +

blended products, PECo4 and PECo5, for the control of cooling water system corrosion and deposition. While these products have .

performed well, it has become apparent that the active components are not combined to provide the most flexibility in optimizing -

chemical usage. As a result, at times the products must be either

overfed or underfed, in an attempt to satisfy both treatment needs and discharge limitations.

While this situation has inherent plant corrosion and fouling concerns, it also does not provide the fullest capability to optimize chemical usage. After extensive evaluations with our water treatment vendor, we have concluded that the same active ,

components could be added via a three product program. The flexibility of this three product program will enable us to better tailor our addition to daily conditions, thus improving '

performance, reducing our costs, and reducing environmental discharges. Since both the reissuance of our new NPDES permit and the rebidding of our cooling water treatment contract will not be completed for a number of months, we wish to implement this change as an interim measure, so that these benefits can be realized.

The three new products would be BETZ PECo 3, PEC10, and PEC12.

A discussion on each follows, and a summary of the requested limits is attached. These limits were derived from the equivalent active ingredients in our currently approved discharges. Thus this request does not involve additional levels of chemical discharges.  ;

1) PECo3--This product is a copper corrosion inhibitor, and is 50% sodium tolyltriazole (TTA). PECoS is 5% TTA.

Since there is no environmentally ~ approved test method for TTA, we request a gallon per day usage limit on PECo3. In the event that discharge limits are imposed, we request that they be one ' tenth of the current PECo5 limits, with the understanding that an unapproved method will be used.

2) PEC10--This product is a blend of orthophosphate and zinc, and is specifically for carbon steel corrosion control.

Currently, PECo4 contains the zinc, and PECoS~ the orthophosphate. The current configuration often prevents chemical treatment reductions due to the potential impact on J

l

1 l

, i l

• l the levels of the other active components. For example, cooler weather, and/or increases in naturally occurring river phosphate levels, requires less corrosion inhibitor. We currently cannot respond to these situations, due to the need to maintain the fouling control agents at an acceptable level. <

Our requested PEC10 limits are based on the equivalent $

orthophosphate levels in our current PECoS usages and  !

discharges. We intend to monitor zine levels as the means of determining PEC10 concentration. Please note, however, that the limits correspond to a monthly average zinc concentration ,

that is within the 0.7 ppm limit proposed in our pending NPDES '

permit revision. ,

3) PEC12--This product contains the organic polymer, HPS-1, i currently added through PECo4, and a scale inhibitor, HEDP, '

currently added via PEco5, at 5% strength. Since HPS-1 is essentially non-toxic, the PECl2 toxicity is due to HEDP. Our requested limits were based on the equivalent amount of HEDP  ;

that is currently added via PECo5. Since both of these j analytical methods are not highly accurate, we would prefer a  !

usage rate only. However, in the event that discharge limits  !

are imposed, the limits requested are based on equivalent' '

amounts of HEDP in'our current products.

In summary, these changes represent a_ less adverse environmental impact, imp::oved quality, and improved cost performance. Furthermore, this plan was discussed on 3/31/94 with  :

Sohan Garg, of the PADER, ar.d Bob Matty, from your staff, during a meeting to review the forthcoming permit reissuance. Schan was very receptive to the merits of this change, and indicated that -

approval could be granted relatively quickly, especially on a trial basis. Therefore, we request approval for a 6 month trial. It is our intention to have completed the competitive bidding process within that time period, and to have requested permanent approval for this program or a similar program provided by another vendor. <

A favorable response to this request is desired by 5/13/94.

Attached is the necessary product information, and our BETZ representative, Steve Jordan, is available to resolve any questions the PADER may have, as has been done in the past. If there are any questions, please contact Steve Dietch at extension'2711.
