Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874-0300 SITE COLLECTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND WASTEWATER DISCHARGES The details of Seabrook Station's original sanitary sewer and wastewater collection system are depicted on the April 2, 1990 Public Service of New Hampshire drawing of the facility entitled "Sanitation System." This drawing depicts the two aerated lagoons previously used to collect wastewater from the facility before final discharge to surface waters. The current sewer connection to the Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire's (Town's) sanitary sewer system results in one discrete connection point (Discharge Point 001) to the sanitary sewer. The specific connection to the Town's sanitary sewer system is depicted on the Jones &Beach Engineers, Inc. drawing (Revised sheet 4 of 7) and the accompanying Figure 1 entitled "Flow and pH Monitoring Station." As this figure depicts, Discharge Point 001 is designated as an existing manhole (M.H.No. 135A) of the Town's collection system, and is the second manhole upstream of the Rocks Road pumping station. This manhole has been modified to provide sampling access to the entire wastewater stream originating from the facility.

Sanitary Lift Station #8 is the terminal collection point for all wastewater directed to the Town's collection system.The discharge consists of sanitary wastewater, photo processing wastewater from the operation support building, chemistry laboratory wastewater from the high rise building, fire extinguisher hydrotesting water from the test laboratory, cooling water from the welding training shop, washing machine wastewater from the training annex, blowdown from the cooling tower at the general office building, condensate from the air conditioners for the control building, and compressor condensate discharge from the maintenance building.MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS In accordance with the Town's classification system, Seabrook Station has been designated as a Class 1 industrial user. This designation is applied on the basis that Seabrook Station exhibits reasonable potential to adversely impact the publicly owned treatment works (POTW). As a result, submittal of semiannual compliance reports, as described in the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit (IDP) is required.
Method Detection Limit - The minimum concentration of a substance that can be measured and reported as defined and determined in 40 CFR, Part 136, Appendix B.
The specific reporting requirements and their respective frequencies are tabulated in Part 2 (A), Page 4 of the IDP (Scheduled Monitoring and Reporting), and are discussed in the text that follows.Seabrook Station's SIC code (4911) and service operations are subject to regulation under the Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category, 40 CFR Part 423. The regulations include limitations that apply to discharges associated with the steam/water thermal transfer system, including boiler blowdown and wastewater generated from equipment (e.g., heat exchange systems) cleaning processes.
MonitoringPoint- A specified site where sampling and/or monitoring takes place on a regular basis.
However, these wastewaters are not proposed for discharge to the Town's POTW. As a result, only local limits are applicable to Seabrook Station's wastewater discharge.
Monthly Average - The arithmetic mean for effluent samples collected during a calendar month or specified 30-day period.
Seabrook Station is a complex facility and maintains many service support structures that are connected to the wastewater collection system. Due to the relatively large size of the facility, the complexity of the process piping within the power production areas, and limited access to radiologically-controlled areas, it Permit No. SEA1003 Class I Industrial Wastewater 1/26/10 Discharge Permit Fact Sheet Page 1 of 10 Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department is difficult to confirm that no process connections to the sanitary wastewater system from these areas exist. Therefore, the monitoring strategy incorporated into the IDP is intended to confirm on a continuing basis that unauthorized discharges are not present.Based on a review of historical monitoring reports (dating back approximately ten years), the following pollutants were present at greater than background concentrations:
NHDES - New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.
arsenic, boron, copper, cyanide, lead, molybdenum, nickel, zinc, and total phenols. As a result, IDP monitoring is required for all of these metals and total phenols on a semiannual basis (once every 6 months) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Part 2 (A), Page 4 of the IDP. As part of the repermitting process, a one-time monitoring event is required for barium, cadmium, chromium, mercury, selenium and silver to confirm that these pollutants continue to be absent.Seabrook Station has been required to monitor for acid and base/neutral extractable compounds (ABNs)and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over the duration of its prior permit. A review of historical monitoring reports submitted under that permit indicates that several constituents, including bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, acetone, and 3,4-methylphenol are typically present in the wastewater at greater than background concentrations.
NPDES - National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System; the national program for issuing and enforcing permits for the discharge of pollutants from any point source into waters of the United States, under Sections 402, 318, and 405 of the Clean Water Act Pass through - A condition that exists when a discharge contains substances or their reaction or degradation products that exit the POTW in quantities or concentrations that, alone or in conjunction with a discharge or discharges from other sources, is a cause of a violation of any requirement of the Town's NPDES permit, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation.
As a result, a limited IDP monitoring program is required for ABNs and VOCs on a semiannual basis (once every 6 months) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Part 2 (A), Page 4 of the IDP.Based on the facility review completed during the repermitting process and ongoing radiological testing of the wastewater, there is no evidence to suggest that licensed radioactive materials (radionuclides) from process wastewater sources are present or are anticipated to be present. Sources for radiologically-contaminated sanitary wastewater are minimized by the absence of sanitary facilities within the radiologically-controlled areas.However, the potential discharge of radionuclides represents the most significant perceived adverse impact that might be associated with Seabrook Station's discharge.
Pretreatment (Treatment Treat) - The reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater prior to, or in lieu of discharging or otherwise, introducing such pollutants into the POTW. This reduction or alteration can be obtained by physical, chemical, or biological processes, by process changes, or by other means, except by diluting the concentration of the pollutants unless allowed by an applicable pretreatment standard.
The intentional discharge of licensed materials to the POTW was not proposed nor is it anticipated.
Pretreatment Standards (Standards, Effluent Limitations) - Prohibited discharge standards, categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and screening levels.
One regulatory goal of the Town with respect to permitting Seabrook Station's wastewater discharge is to provide a prudent level of regulatory oversight to independently confirm that unauthorized radiological discharges are not present.Implementing this approach requires radiological monitoring to demonstrate that radionuclide concentrations (other than those occurring naturally) do not exceed concentrations that could be permitted under existing applicable regulatory structures.
PriorityPollutants- A group of toxic chemicals listed by the EPA in 40 CFR Part 403, Appendix B as requiring restriction from entering municipal sewers or any receiving waters.
The procedure for collection of a representative radiological test sample for reporting purposes requires a 24-hour time-proportional composite sample with an automatic sampler operating intervals not to exceed 30 minutes.FLOWS Existing permitted flows are based on flows reported in the January 18, 2010 IDP application submitted by Seabrook Station. The sources and amounts of these flows were consistent with information collected by the Town during a facility inspection at Seabrook Station on February XX, 2010. This information identified that flows discharged from the facility vary significantly under two different operating conditions
ProhibitedDischargeStandards or ProhibitedDischarges - Prohibitions against the discharge of certain substances. These prohibitions appear in Article II, Section 2.5 of the Seabrook Municipal Sewer System Ordinance and 40 CFR 403.5(b).

To facilitate regulatory compliance evaluations and to account for the significant variation in sanitary flows between normal operations and extended staffing operations, a 2-tiered permit limitation system has been established that applies different limits to cover each flow condition.
 
The Tier 1 (normal operational periods) limits incorporate a maximum sanitary flow value of 21,270 gallons per day (gpd). This is consistent with current staffing levels and the maximum flows that have typically been experienced in recent years during normal operational periods. Although Seabrook Station may be expected to occasionally exceed this value, it is in the Town's interest to retain a mechanism that triggers review and Permit No. SEA1003 Class I Industrial Wastewater 1/26110 Discharge Permit Fact Sheet Page 2 of 10 Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department evaluation of unusual flow events.The basis for flow monitoring/reporting is specified as the lift station pump running time meters. Flow volume will be calculated using the measured results of pump draw-down tests, currently 279 gallons per minute for Pump A and 288 gallons per minute for pump B based on the results of tests performed on June 11, 2008. The Town anticipates that draw-down testing will need to be repeated periodically to assess the changing pumping characteristics that will result from pump impeller wear. Drawdown tests are currently performed on a biannual frequency.
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) - A "treatment works", as defined in Section 212 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §1292), that is owned by the Town.

Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874-0300 SITE COLLECTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND WASTEWATER DISCHARGES The details of Seabrook Station's original sanitary sewer and wastewater collection system are depicted on the April 2, 1990 Public Service of New Hampshire drawing of the facility entitled "Sanitation System." This drawing depicts the two aerated lagoons previously used to collect wastewater from the facility before final discharge to surface waters. The current sewer connection to the Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire's (Town's) sanitary sewer system results in one discrete connection point (Discharge Point 001) to the sanitary sewer. The specific connection to the Town's sanitary sewer system is depicted on the Jones &
Beach Engineers, Inc. drawing (Revised sheet 4 of 7) and the accompanying Figure 1 entitled "Flow and pH Monitoring Station." As this figure depicts, Discharge Point 001 is designated as an existing manhole (M.H.
No. 135A) of the Town's collection system, and is the second manhole upstream of the Rocks Road pumping station. This manhole has been modified to provide sampling access to the entire wastewater stream originating from the facility. With the 2007 renewal of this permit, the sampling point was relocated from Discharge Point 001 to Sanitary Lift Station #8, which is located on the grounds of the Seabrook Station complex. Sanitary Lift Station #8 is the terminal collection point for all wastewater directed to the Town's collection system.
The discharge consists of sanitary wastewater, photo processing wastewater from the operation support building, chemistry laboratory wastewater from the high rise building, fire extinguisher hydrotesting water from the test laboratory, cooling water from the welding training shop, washing machine wastewater from the training annex, blowdown from the cooling tower at the general office building, condensate from the air conditioners for the control building, and compressor condensate discharge from the maintenance building.
MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS In accordance with the Town's classification system, Seabrook Station has been designated as a Class 1 industrial user. This designation is applied on the basis that Seabrook Station exhibits reasonable potential to adversely impact the publicly owned treatment works (POTW). As a result, submittal of semiannual compliance reports, as described in the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit (IDP) is required. The specific reporting requirements and their respective frequencies are tabulated in Part 2 (A),
Page 4 of the IDP (Scheduled Monitoring and Reporting), and are discussed in the text that follows.
Seabrook Station's SIC code (4911) and service operations are subject to regulation under the Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category, 40 CFR Part 423. The regulations include limitations that apply to discharges associated with the steam/water thermal transfer system, including boiler blowdown and wastewater generated from equipment (e.g., heat exchange systems) cleaning processes. However, these wastewaters are not proposed for discharge to the Town's POTW. As a result, only local limits are applicable to Seabrook Station's wastewater discharge.
Seabrook Station is a complex facility and maintains many service support structures that are connected to the wastewater collection system. Due to the relatively large size of the facility, the complexity of the process piping within the power production areas, and limited access to radiologically-controlled areas, it Permit No. SEA1003 Class I Industrial Wastewater 1/26/10                                   Discharge Permit Fact Sheet                           Page 1 of 10
 
Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire                                                             Sewer Department is difficult to confirm that no process connections to the sanitary wastewater system from these areas exist. Therefore, the monitoring strategy incorporated into the IDP is intended to confirm on a continuing basis that unauthorized discharges are not present.
Based on a review of historical monitoring reports (dating back approximately ten years), the following pollutants were present at greater than background concentrations: arsenic, boron, copper, cyanide, lead, molybdenum, nickel, zinc, and total phenols. As a result, IDP monitoring is required for all of these metals and total phenols on a semiannual basis (once every 6 months) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Part 2 (A), Page 4 of the IDP. As part of the repermitting process, a one-time monitoring event is required for barium, cadmium, chromium, mercury, selenium and silver to confirm that these pollutants continue to be absent.
Seabrook Station has been required to monitor for acid and base/neutral extractable compounds (ABNs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over the duration of its prior permit. A review of historical monitoring reports submitted under that permit indicates that several constituents, including bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, acetone, and 3,4-methylphenol are typically present in the wastewater at greater than background concentrations. As a result, a limited IDP monitoring program is required for ABNs and VOCs on a semiannual basis (once every 6 months) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Part 2 (A), Page 4 of the IDP.
Based on the facility review completed during the repermitting process and ongoing radiological testing of the wastewater, there is no evidence to suggest that licensed radioactive materials (radionuclides) from process wastewater sources are present or are anticipated to be present.

Maximum allowable industrial headworks loading limits for each metal have been developed as enforceable provisions of the Seabrook Municipal Sewer System Ordinance (Ordinance).
Maximum allowable industrial headworks loading limits for each metal have been developed as enforceable provisions of the Seabrook Municipal Sewer System Ordinance (Ordinance). This approach is partly driven by a State of New Hampshire regulatory requirement that municipalities possess authority to incorporate mass limits into industrial user discharge permits, and also provides the Town with flexibility in allocating these amounts to discharging industrial sources. Equivalent concentration-based values (i.e., screening levels) are also maintained by the Town, independent of the Ordinance. These screening levels represent the concentrations at which all industries could be expected to discharge without causing environmental issues for the POTW.

Equivalent concentration-based values (i.e., screening levels) are also maintained by the Town, independent of the Ordinance.
For administrative purposes, the Town considers whether an industry is discharging each regulated pollutant at a concentration greater than typical domestic concentrations (as determined in the Local Limits Study). If an industry is determined to be discharging a pollutant at greater than domestic concentrations, the Town adds the industrial user's pollutant discharge information to its tracking system (to ensure that the Town's total allowable pounds per pollutant are not exceeded) and requires the industry to monitor the pollutant. The limitation specified in the industry's IDP will either be the screening level, or a greater alternative value (administered as a limit) ifthe Town determines that such a discharge will not create or contribute to adverse impacts to the Town's POTW. Normally, if an industry is not discharging a pollutant at greater than domestic concentrations, monitoring is not required for that pollutant and the domestic concentration value is identified on the IDP limitations page.

Screening Levels for Conventional Pollutants - The basis for establishing the screening levels for other conventional pollutants (i.e., biochemical oxygen demand, oil and grease, sodium, chloride, etc.) is provided in the Town's August 2002 Local Limits Study. As the document indicates, administration of screening levels differs from local limits, and site-specific conditions may be considered when evaluating the acceptability of certain discharges. Screening levels applicable to Seabrook Station's industrial wastewater discharge, are itemized in Part I (B), Page 2A and 2B of this IDP.
RADIONUCLIDES The disposal of radioactive materials into sanitary sewers is regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at 10 CFR Part 20 and the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Division of Public Health Services, Bureau of Radiological Health, Rules He-P 4023 and He-P 4090 (Rules). The discharge standards for releases to sewers are identical under these rules. A copy of the State's published standards is available as Appendix D of the Seabrook Station November 1996 Discharge Permit Request submittal. New Hampshire is an Agreement State, which means that the State is delegated the responsibility for regulating licensees. However, the NRC retains responsibility for sources that have the capability to attain a critical mass of radioactive material. As a result, Seabrook Station's operations fall under NRC jurisdiction. Under either agency, the rules permit the disposal of soluble or biologically dispersible radioactive material subject to published concentration and quantity limits. Limits for individual radionuclides are published in the Rules and 10 CFR Part 20. When multiple radionuclides are present, the sum of their fractions (measured concentration divided by the allowable concentration) cannot exceed one. With the exception of tritium (hydrogen-3) and carbon-14, the annual quantity released by a licensee may not exceed one Curie (Ci). Radioactive wastes originating from patients undergoing therapy with radioactive material are not subject to these standards.
Radioactivity is measured in terms of disintegrations per unit time. The commonly used units are 1 Curie (Ci) = 1 x 109 nanocuries (nCi) = 1 x 1012 picocuries (pCi). One pCi is equal to 2.2 disintegrations per minute.
Alpha radiation is the least penetrating form of radiation and alpha radionuclides are generally of concern only if ingested or inhaled. Decay products of the naturally occurring uranium, thorium, actinium and neptunium series all emit alpha (and beta) particles. Alpha radiation can be measured by gross alpha testing, which measures the sum of all alpha emitters, but does not identify individual radionuclides.
Gross alpha analysis is a relatively inexpensive test that can indicate the need for further testing. If Permit No. SEA1003 Class 1 Industrial Wastewater 1/26/10                                          Discharge Permit Fact Sheet                                        Page 5 of 10
 
Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire                                                                              Sewer Department elevated levels are identified, alpha isotopic analysis can identify fission-related americium and plutonium.
However, if these constituents are present, the more common fission-related gamma emitters will also be present (and detected by gamma spectrometry). As a result, gross alpha testing would provide a limited amount of useful information to the Town when other radiological testing is also performed. Therefore, gross alpha testing is not required in Seabrook Station's IDP.
Beta radioactivity includes emissions from natural sources such as carbon-14, potassium-40 (common in sea water) and radium. Potassium-40 activity in sea water is reportedly in the vicinity of 270 pCiIL 1.
Potassium-40 content of urine is reportedly 10,000 to 100,000 pCi/L. [needs reference citation]
Technetium-99, associated with certain medical procedures, is a beta emitter. Groundwater beta activity typically ranges from 1 to 10 pCVL, primarily due to naturally occurring radium and its daughter products.
As with alpha analysis, the presence of fission-related radionuclides may be detected by gross beta testing. However, gross beta analysis cannot identify specific radionuclides. Therefore, if elevated activity is noted, other testing such as gamma spectrometry must be performed to determine the specific radioactive contaminants. If fission-related beta radionuclides are present, then fission-related gamma emitters would also be present, allowing gamma spectroscopy results to provide a complete, radionuclide-specific identification. Although the beta testing is redundant given these facts, the Town is requiring gross beta analysis for the Seabrook Station's IDP monitoring program on the basis that it may provide a secondary measurement to indicate the presence of potentially unreported radionuclides in a gamma scan (only those radionuclides in a selected "library" are reported).
Gamma energy is electromagnetic, similar to X-rays, except at greater energy levels. Gamma spectrometry is required to detect common radionuclides associated with nuclear power production, such as cobalt-60, manganese-54 and cesium-137. Gamma spectrometry services provided by a qualified analytical laboratory certified by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services can identify those radionuclides associated with nuclear power production. Reporting libraries for naturally-occurring compounds can also be requested. Gamma emitters also include iodine, which is used in certain medical treatments. The semiannual 24-hour composite wastewater sampling and gamma isotopic analysis included in Seabrook Station's IDP monitoring is consistent with the analytes specified in an NRC Branch Technical Position outlining an acceptable program for monitoring of radioactivity in the environs of nuclear power facilities. The required minimum detectable concentration (MDC) specified for potassium-40 is intended to support identification of gross beta activity measurements that may indicate exceedance of applicable regulatory levels for unidentified radionuclides.
A summary of radiological limitations for radionuclides that may be associated with Seabrook Station's discharge is presented in Table 3 at the end of this fact sheet. These limits apply to discharges of licensed material. The implementation of screening limits equal to half of the He-P 4090 concentration standards is intended to provide reasonable assurance that licensed material is not being inadvertently discharged to the POTW. Table 3 in not intended to be all-inclusive.
Gross beta analytical results are difficult to compare to regulatory standards because this test procedure does not identify specific radionuclides. It is anticipated that gross beta measurements will primarily be associated with potassium-402. However, the regulatory concentration limit for a mixture of unidentified radionuclides is relatively stringent (20 pCi/L). On this basis, the gross beta activity measurement alone is likely to result in an exceedance of the standard for unidentified mixtures. To resolve this issue, it is anticipated that the gamma spectrometry testing will identify the presence of potassium-40 (and potentially other naturally-occurring radionuclides), and may account for most of the observed beta activity. Gross beta analysis will be performed in conjunction with the semiannual gamma isotopic Seabrook Station 1995 Annual Radioloaical Environmental Ooeratina Reoort for samples collected in 1995.
2 GZA Geoenvironmental estimated that a final effluent concentration of 52 pCIlL in the wastewater would result assuming 13,000 gpd of wastewater flow, 800 employees, a literature value of 120,000 pCi of potassium-40 per 70 kg person, and a 2 kg per day loss (as urine) per person.

Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire                                                            Sewer Department analysis. Results will be reported in the form of a trend evaluation of historical gross beta data. If an adverse trend is observed that cannot be explained by either known therapeutic treatments or by gamma isotopic analysis, additional specific beta emitter analysis will be performed.
The Town notes that the Table 3 limits are technically applicable only to the release of licensed radioactive materials. Since Seabrook Station is not seeking authorization to intentionally discharge licensed materials, and naturally occurring radionuclides are not regulated, this comparison is administered as a screening level approach, and exceedances would not necessarily provide a basis for regulatory response unless fission-related radionuclides were present.
TIERED LIMITS To facilitate regulatory compliance evaluations and to account for the significant variation in sanitary flow between normal operations and extended staffing operations (e.g., during refueling or other outage periods), a 2-tiered permit limitation system has been established that covers normal and extended staffing operating conditions. Accordingly, Page 2 of the permit, and Tables 3 and 4 of the Fact Sheet are presented in "A" and "B" versions, representing the two conditions.
FLOOR DRAINS During initial facility reconnaissance activities, a potential for accidental release and discharge to the sewer of fluids from thermal reservoirs associated with heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems was noted. These reservoirs, or storage tanks, range in volume from approximately 2,000 to 13,260 gallons, and are located in mechanical rooms at several separate locations. Water treatment chemicals associated with these systems include ethylene glycol and chlorine. Seabrook Station reported that maintenance or tank testing operations would not result in discharge of tank contents to the sewer. However, floor drains proximate to these systems would have provided a route for direct entry to the sewer in the event of an accidental release. The Town evaluated the impact of ethylene glycol releases and determined that the potential for adverse impact from a release was significant since it would likely result in an exceedance of the wastewater treatment facility's NPDES permit BOD effluent limitation. Therefore, the Town had conditioned Seabrook Station's IDP with a requirement to continue to implement Best Management Practices procedure developed under the prior IDP to address the potential for releases from these systems.
In the year prior to the 2007 renewal of this wastewater discharge permit, Seabrook Station eliminated all floor drains discharging to the POTW with the exception of (1) restroom floor drains and (2) those located beneath the safety showers in the Training Laboratory of the High Rise Building, all of which have been granted waivers by the Town. With the elimination of the remaining floor drains, this permit no longer requires the Permittee to continue to implement the specified Best Management Practices procedures.

Groundwater beta activity typically ranges from 1 to 10 pCVL, primarily due to naturally occurring radium and its daughter products.As with alpha analysis, the presence of fission-related radionuclides may be detected by gross beta testing. However, gross beta analysis cannot identify specific radionuclides.
The license authorizes shipment of any radioactive material (except special nuclear material sufficient to form a critical mass) in any chemical and/or physical form and in a quantity not to exceed the possession limit of the licensed recipient.
Therefore, if elevated activity is noted, other testing such as gamma spectrometry must be performed to determine the specific radioactive contaminants.
The licensee is authorized to ship radioactive material from the facility located at:
If fission-related beta radionuclides are present, then fission-related gamma emitters would also be present, allowing gamma spectroscopy results to provide a complete, radionuclide-specific identification.
Seabrook Station 626 Lafayette Rd Seabrook, NH 03874 into or within Tennessee to a disposal/processing facility that is licensed by Tennessee to receive such material.
Although the beta testing is redundant given these facts, the Town is requiring gross beta analysis for the Seabrook Station's IDP monitoring program on the basis that it may provide a secondary measurement to indicate the presence of potentially unreported radionuclides in a gamma scan (only those radionuclides in a selected "library" are reported).
The licensee shall comply with all applicable provisions of the regulations and conditions of the recipient facility's license.
Gamma energy is electromagnetic, similar to X-rays, except at greater energy levels. Gamma spectrometry is required to detect common radionuclides associated with nuclear power production, such as cobalt-60, manganese-54 and cesium-137.
Effective date of this license: January 1. 2011 For the Commissioner Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Date: December 20, 2010                       By:.
Gamma spectrometry services provided by a qualified analytical laboratory certified by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services can identify those radionuclides associated with nuclear power production.

Reporting libraries for naturally-occurring compounds can also be requested.
 
Gamma emitters also include iodine, which is used in certain medical treatments.
STATE OF TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND CONSERVATION DIVISION OF RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH L&C ANNEX - THIRD FLOOR 401 CHURCH STREET NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE 37243-1532 December 20, 2010 NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC Seabrook Station P.O. Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874 Attention: William Meyer, Radiation Protection Manager RE: Radioactive Waste License-for-Delivery Mr. Meyer:
The semiannual 24-hour composite wastewater sampling and gamma isotopic analysis included in Seabrook Station's IDP monitoring is consistent with the analytes specified in an NRC Branch Technical Position outlining an acceptable program for monitoring of radioactivity in the environs of nuclear power facilities.
Attached to this letter is your Tennessee Radioactive Waste-License-for-Delivery number T-NH001-LI 1 issued with an expiration date of December 31, 2011.
The required minimum detectable concentration (MDC) specified for potassium-40 is intended to support identification of gross beta activity measurements that may indicate exceedance of applicable regulatory levels for unidentified radionuclides.
If we may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me at (615) 532-0405.
A summary of radiological limitations for radionuclides that may be associated with Seabrook Station's discharge is presented in Table 3 at the end of this fact sheet. These limits apply to discharges of licensed material.
Sincerely, Michae Singleton Health Physicist Division of Radiological Health Attachments:
The implementation of screening limits equal to half of the He-P 4090 concentration standards is intended to provide reasonable assurance that licensed material is not being inadvertently discharged to the POTW. Table 3 in not intended to be all-inclusive.
 
Gross beta analytical results are difficult to compare to regulatory standards because this test procedure does not identify specific radionuclides.
  %k' V
It is anticipated that gross beta measurements will primarily be associated with potassium-402.
State of Utah DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Division of Radiation Control Amanda Smith               Dane' L. Finerfrock GARYR. HERBERT                        E'.v,ctive Director       Division Director Governor GREG BELL Lieuwenant Gov'ernor April 29, 2010 Mr. William Meyer NextEra Energy Seabrook LLC PO Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874
However, the regulatory concentration limit for a mixture of unidentified radionuclides is relatively stringent (20 pCi/L). On this basis, the gross beta activity measurement alone is likely to result in an exceedance of the standard for unidentified mixtures.
To resolve this issue, it is anticipated that the gamma spectrometry testing will identify the presence of potassium-40 (and potentially other naturally-occurring radionuclides), and may account for most of the observed beta activity.
Gross beta analysis will be performed in conjunction with the semiannual gamma isotopic Seabrook Station 1995 Annual Radioloaical Environmental Ooeratina Reoort for samples collected in 1995.2 GZA Geoenvironmental estimated that a final effluent concentration of 52 pCIlL in the wastewater would result assuming 13,000 gpd of wastewater flow, 800 employees, a literature value of 120,000 pCi of potassium-40 per 70 kg person, and a 2 kg per day loss (as urine) per person.Permit No. SEA1003 Class 1 Industrial Wastewater 1/26/10 Discharge Permit Fact Sheet Page 6 of 10 Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department analysis.
Results will be reported in the form of a trend evaluation of historical gross beta data. If an adverse trend is observed that cannot be explained by either known therapeutic treatments or by gamma isotopic analysis, additional specific beta emitter analysis will be performed.
The Town notes that the Table 3 limits are technically applicable only to the release of licensed radioactive materials.
Since Seabrook Station is not seeking authorization to intentionally discharge licensed materials, and naturally occurring radionuclides are not regulated, this comparison is administered as a screening level approach, and exceedances would not necessarily provide a basis for regulatory response unless fission-related radionuclides were present.TIERED LIMITS To facilitate regulatory compliance evaluations and to account for the significant variation in sanitary flow between normal operations and extended staffing operations (e.g., during refueling or other outage periods), a 2-tiered permit limitation system has been established that covers normal and extended staffing operating conditions.
Accordingly, Page 2 of the permit, and Tables 3 and 4 of the Fact Sheet are presented in "A" and "B" versions, representing the two conditions.
FLOOR DRAINS During initial facility reconnaissance activities, a potential for accidental release and discharge to the sewer of fluids from thermal reservoirs associated with heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC)systems was noted. These reservoirs, or storage tanks, range in volume from approximately 2,000 to 13,260 gallons, and are located in mechanical rooms at several separate locations.
Water treatment chemicals associated with these systems include ethylene glycol and chlorine.
Seabrook Station reported that maintenance or tank testing operations would not result in discharge of tank contents to the sewer. However, floor drains proximate to these systems would have provided a route for direct entry to the sewer in the event of an accidental release. The Town evaluated the impact of ethylene glycol releases and determined that the potential for adverse impact from a release was significant since it would likely result in an exceedance of the wastewater treatment facility's NPDES permit BOD effluent limitation.
Therefore, the Town had conditioned Seabrook Station's IDP with a requirement to continue to implement Best Management Practices procedure developed under the prior IDP to address the potential for releases from these systems.In the year prior to the 2007 renewal of this wastewater discharge permit, Seabrook Station eliminated all floor drains discharging to the POTW with the exception of (1) restroom floor drains and (2) those located beneath the safety showers in the Training Laboratory of the High Rise Building, all of which have been granted waivers by the Town. With the elimination of the remaining floor drains, this permit no longer requires the Permittee to continue to implement the specified Best Management Practices procedures.

Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department FACT SHEET NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC (Seabrook Station) Michael O'Keefe, Licensing Manager Lafayette Road (603) 773-7471 P.O. Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874-0300 SITE COLLECTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND WASTEWATER DISCHARGES The details of Seabrook Station's original sanitary sewer and wastewater collection system are depicted on the April 2, 1990 Public Service of New Hampshire drawing of the facility entitled "Sanitation System." This drawing depicts the two aerated lagoons previously used to collect wastewater from the facility before final discharge to surface waters. The current sewer connection to the Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire's (Town's) sanitary sewer system results in one discrete connection point (Discharge Point 001) to the sanitary sewer. The specific connection to the Town's sanitary sewer system is depicted on the Jones &

Beach Engineers, Inc. drawing (Revised sheet 4 of 7) and the accompanying Figure 1 entitled "Flow and pH Monitoring Station." As this figure depicts, Discharge Point 001 is designated as an existing manhole (M.H.

No. 135A) of the Town's collection system, and is the second manhole upstream of the Rocks Road pumping station. This manhole has been modified to provide sampling access to the entire wastewater stream originating from the facility. With the 2007 renewal of this permit, the sampling point was relocated from Discharge Point 001 to Sanitary Lift Station #8, which is located on the grounds of the Seabrook Station complex. Sanitary Lift Station #8 is the terminal collection point for all wastewater directed to the Town's collection system.

The discharge consists of sanitary wastewater, photo processing wastewater from the operation support building, chemistry laboratory wastewater from the high rise building, fire extinguisher hydrotesting water from the test laboratory, cooling water from the welding training shop, washing machine wastewater from the training annex, blowdown from the cooling tower at the general office building, condensate from the air conditioners for the control building, and compressor condensate discharge from the maintenance building.

MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS In accordance with the Town's classification system, Seabrook Station has been designated as a Class 1 industrial user. This designation is applied on the basis that Seabrook Station exhibits reasonable potential to adversely impact the publicly owned treatment works (POTW). As a result, submittal of semiannual compliance reports, as described in the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit (IDP) is required. The specific reporting requirements and their respective frequencies are tabulated in Part 2 (A),

Page 4 of the IDP (Scheduled Monitoring and Reporting), and are discussed in the text that follows.

Seabrook Station's SIC code (4911) and service operations are subject to regulation under the Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category, 40 CFR Part 423. The regulations include limitations that apply to discharges associated with the steam/water thermal transfer system, including boiler blowdown and wastewater generated from equipment (e.g., heat exchange systems) cleaning processes. However, these wastewaters are not proposed for discharge to the Town's POTW. As a result, only local limits are applicable to Seabrook Station's wastewater discharge.

Seabrook Station is a complex facility and maintains many service support structures that are connected to the wastewater collection system. Due to the relatively large size of the facility, the complexity of the process piping within the power production areas, and limited access to radiologically-controlled areas, it Permit No. SEA1003 Class I Industrial Wastewater 1/26/10 Discharge Permit Fact Sheet Page 1 of 10

Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department is difficult to confirm that no process connections to the sanitary wastewater system from these areas exist. Therefore, the monitoring strategy incorporated into the IDP is intended to confirm on a continuing basis that unauthorized discharges are not present.

Based on a review of historical monitoring reports (dating back approximately ten years), the following pollutants were present at greater than background concentrations: arsenic, boron, copper, cyanide, lead, molybdenum, nickel, zinc, and total phenols. As a result, IDP monitoring is required for all of these metals and total phenols on a semiannual basis (once every 6 months) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Part 2 (A), Page 4 of the IDP. As part of the repermitting process, a one-time monitoring event is required for barium, cadmium, chromium, mercury, selenium and silver to confirm that these pollutants continue to be absent.

Seabrook Station has been required to monitor for acid and base/neutral extractable compounds (ABNs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over the duration of its prior permit. A review of historical monitoring reports submitted under that permit indicates that several constituents, including bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, acetone, and 3,4-methylphenol are typically present in the wastewater at greater than background concentrations. As a result, a limited IDP monitoring program is required for ABNs and VOCs on a semiannual basis (once every 6 months) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Part 2 (A), Page 4 of the IDP.

Based on the facility review completed during the repermitting process and ongoing radiological testing of the wastewater, there is no evidence to suggest that licensed radioactive materials (radionuclides) from process wastewater sources are present or are anticipated to be present. Sources for radiologically-contaminated sanitary wastewater are minimized by the absence of sanitary facilities within the radiologically-controlled areas.

However, the potential discharge of radionuclides represents the most significant perceived adverse impact that might be associated with Seabrook Station's discharge. The intentional discharge of licensed materials to the POTW was not proposed nor is it anticipated. One regulatory goal of the Town with respect to permitting Seabrook Station's wastewater discharge is to provide a prudent level of regulatory oversight to independently confirm that unauthorized radiological discharges are not present.

Implementing this approach requires radiological monitoring to demonstrate that radionuclide concentrations (other than those occurring naturally) do not exceed concentrations that could be permitted under existing applicable regulatory structures.

The procedure for collection of a representative radiological test sample for reporting purposes requires a 24-hour time-proportional composite sample with an automatic sampler operating intervals not to exceed 30 minutes.

FLOWS Existing permitted flows are based on flows reported in the January 18, 2010 IDP application submitted by Seabrook Station. The sources and amounts of these flows were consistent with information collected by the Town during a facility inspection at Seabrook Station on February XX, 2010. This information identified that flows discharged from the facility vary significantly under two different operating conditions

- normal power production periods and extended staffing plant outage periods (e.g., during refueling).

To facilitate regulatory compliance evaluations and to account for the significant variation in sanitary flows between normal operations and extended staffing operations, a 2-tiered permit limitation system has been established that applies different limits to cover each flow condition. The Tier 1 (normal operational periods) limits incorporate a maximum sanitary flow value of 21,270 gallons per day (gpd). This is consistent with current staffing levels and the maximum flows that have typically been experienced in recent years during normal operational periods. Although Seabrook Station may be expected to occasionally exceed this value, it is in the Town's interest to retain a mechanism that triggers review and Permit No. SEA1003 Class I Industrial Wastewater 1/26110 Discharge Permit Fact Sheet Page 2 of 10

Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department evaluation of unusual flow events.

The basis for flow monitoring/reporting is specified as the lift station pump running time meters. Flow volume will be calculated using the measured results of pump draw-down tests, currently 279 gallons per minute for Pump A and 288 gallons per minute for pump B based on the results of tests performed on June 11, 2008. The Town anticipates that draw-down testing will need to be repeated periodically to assess the changing pumping characteristics that will result from pump impeller wear. Drawdown tests are currently performed on a biannual frequency.

POLLUTANT DISCHARGE CONTROLS LOCAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE CONTROLS FOR METALS The Town has implemented an innovative regulatory approach for conservative (e.g., metals) pollutants.

Maximum allowable industrial headworks loading limits for each metal have been developed as enforceable provisions of the Seabrook Municipal Sewer System Ordinance (Ordinance). This approach is partly driven by a State of New Hampshire regulatory requirement that municipalities possess authority to incorporate mass limits into industrial user discharge permits, and also provides the Town with flexibility in allocating these amounts to discharging industrial sources. Equivalent concentration-based values (i.e., screening levels) are also maintained by the Town, independent of the Ordinance. These screening levels represent the concentrations at which all industries could be expected to discharge without causing environmental issues for the POTW.

For administrative purposes, the Town considers whether an industry is discharging each regulated pollutant at a concentration greater than typical domestic concentrations (as determined in the Local Limits Study). If an industry is determined to be discharging a pollutant at greater than domestic concentrations, the Town adds the industrial user's pollutant discharge information to its tracking system (to ensure that the Town's total allowable pounds per pollutant are not exceeded) and requires the industry to monitor the pollutant. The limitation specified in the industry's IDP will either be the screening level, or a greater alternative value (administered as a limit) ifthe Town determines that such a discharge will not create or contribute to adverse impacts to the Town's POTW. Normally, if an industry is not discharging a pollutant at greater than domestic concentrations, monitoring is not required for that pollutant and the domestic concentration value is identified on the IDP limitations page.

The maximum allowable industrial loadings for metal pollutants are listed in the table that follows. The Town will not issue IDPs that would allow total discharges from industries to exceed these values.

TABLE 1 - LOCAL LIMITATIONS FOR METAL POLLUTANTS POLLUTANT I Ibo/day POLLUTANT.. Ibs/day Arsenic 0.004 Lead 0.645 Barium 1.63 Mercury 0.015 Boron 7.77 Molybdenum 0.030 Cadmium 0.023 Nickel 0.335 Chromium 0.296 Selenium 0.020 Copper 1.13 Silver 0.107 Cyanide (T) 0.263 Zinc 2.15 The sampling point for Seabrook Station includes process and sanitary wastewater. The Town's pollutant controls are intended to apply only to process wastewater. Therefore, the pollutant limitations for conservative pollutants (other than molybdenum and zinc) have been adjusted to correct for the dilution that occurs from the sanitary wastewater. For this permit, the adjustments have been based on either the Permit No. SEAIOO3 Class 1 Industrial Wastewater 1/26/10 Discharge Permit Fact Sheet Page 3 of 10

Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department Town's screening level or threshold monitoring level (as applicable) and the background concentration values used in the Town's August 2002 Local Limits Study. Tables 3 and 4, attached, illustrate the derivation of the adjusted limitations for the metals.

A discussion of specific regulatory issues is presented in the text that follows.

Screening Levels For Metals Expected To Be Present- Based on a review of recent monitoring data, the Town has determined that Seabrook Station has contributed the following pollutants at greater than domestic concentrations:

0 Arsenic*

  • Boron*

0 Copper*

  • Cyanide*
  • Lead*

0 Molybdenum (see special allocation agreement section below)

  • Nickel*
  • Zinc (see special allocation agreement section below)
  • Limitations contained in this permit for these metals will be administered as screening levels.

Special Allocation Agreements - Special allocation agreements are authorized by the Town when a discharge at concentrations greater than screening levels is approved. Pollutants approved for special allocation agreements are discussed in the text that follows.

Molybdenum - The current recommended screening level for molybdenum in the Town's August 2002 Local Limits Study is 0.013 milligrams per liter (mglL). After adjusting this limit to account for domestic flow present at the monitoring point, the screening level for molybdenum is 0.002 mg/L for the daily maximum flows. Based on historical monitoring data at Seabrook Station, this value would likely be exceeded. As such, the Town has determined that the molybdenum value of 0.005 mg/L as requested by Seabrook Station does not represent a potential for concern. As described in the Town's Local Limit Study, if an alternative value greater than the Town's screening level is implemented in an IDP, it will be administered as a local limit. Therefore, the molybdenum regulatory value of 0.005 mglL is implemented in Seabrook Station's current IDP as a limit.

Zinc - The current recommended screening level for zinc in the Town's August 2002 Local Limits Study is 0.94 mg/L. After adjusting this limit to account for domestic flow present at the monitoring point, the screening level for zinc is 0.209 mg/L. Based on historical monitoring data at Seabrook Station, this value would likely be exceeded. As such, the Town has determined that the zinc value of 0.90 mg/L that is currently in Seabrook Station's IDP does not represent a potential for concern. As described in the Town's Local Limit Study, if an alternative value greater than the Town's screening level is implemented in an IDP, it will be administered as a local limit. Therefore, the zinc regulatory value of 0.90 mg/L is administered in Seabrook Station's current IDP as a limit.

OTHER LOCAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE CONTROLS Screening Levels for Organic Compounds - Screening levels for organic compounds that are applicable to Seabrook Station's discharge are presented in Table 2. The Table 2 list of compounds, from the Town's August 2002 Local Limits Study, is not intended to be all-inclusive and the identification of additional screening levels will be implemented on an as-required basis.

Screening Levels for Conventional Pollutants - The basis for establishing the screening levels for other conventional pollutants (i.e., biochemical oxygen demand, oil and grease, sodium, chloride, etc.) is provided in the Town's August 2002 Local Limits Study. As the document indicates, administration of screening levels differs from local limits, and site-specific conditions may be considered when evaluating the acceptability of certain discharges. Screening levels applicable to Seabrook Station's industrial wastewater discharge, are itemized in Part I (B), Page 2A and 2B of this IDP.

RADIONUCLIDES The disposal of radioactive materials into sanitary sewers is regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at 10 CFR Part 20 and the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Division of Public Health Services, Bureau of Radiological Health, Rules He-P 4023 and He-P 4090 (Rules). The discharge standards for releases to sewers are identical under these rules. A copy of the State's published standards is available as Appendix D of the Seabrook Station November 1996 Discharge Permit Request submittal. New Hampshire is an Agreement State, which means that the State is delegated the responsibility for regulating licensees. However, the NRC retains responsibility for sources that have the capability to attain a critical mass of radioactive material. As a result, Seabrook Station's operations fall under NRC jurisdiction. Under either agency, the rules permit the disposal of soluble or biologically dispersible radioactive material subject to published concentration and quantity limits. Limits for individual radionuclides are published in the Rules and 10 CFR Part 20. When multiple radionuclides are present, the sum of their fractions (measured concentration divided by the allowable concentration) cannot exceed one. With the exception of tritium (hydrogen-3) and carbon-14, the annual quantity released by a licensee may not exceed one Curie (Ci). Radioactive wastes originating from patients undergoing therapy with radioactive material are not subject to these standards.

Radioactivity is measured in terms of disintegrations per unit time. The commonly used units are 1 Curie (Ci) = 1 x 109 nanocuries (nCi) = 1 x 1012 picocuries (pCi). One pCi is equal to 2.2 disintegrations per minute.

Alpha radiation is the least penetrating form of radiation and alpha radionuclides are generally of concern only if ingested or inhaled. Decay products of the naturally occurring uranium, thorium, actinium and neptunium series all emit alpha (and beta) particles. Alpha radiation can be measured by gross alpha testing, which measures the sum of all alpha emitters, but does not identify individual radionuclides.

Gross alpha analysis is a relatively inexpensive test that can indicate the need for further testing. If Permit No. SEA1003 Class 1 Industrial Wastewater 1/26/10 Discharge Permit Fact Sheet Page 5 of 10

Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department elevated levels are identified, alpha isotopic analysis can identify fission-related americium and plutonium.

However, if these constituents are present, the more common fission-related gamma emitters will also be present (and detected by gamma spectrometry). As a result, gross alpha testing would provide a limited amount of useful information to the Town when other radiological testing is also performed. Therefore, gross alpha testing is not required in Seabrook Station's IDP.

Beta radioactivity includes emissions from natural sources such as carbon-14, potassium-40 (common in sea water) and radium. Potassium-40 activity in sea water is reportedly in the vicinity of 270 pCiIL 1.

Potassium-40 content of urine is reportedly 10,000 to 100,000 pCi/L. [needs reference citation]

Technetium-99, associated with certain medical procedures, is a beta emitter. Groundwater beta activity typically ranges from 1 to 10 pCVL, primarily due to naturally occurring radium and its daughter products.

As with alpha analysis, the presence of fission-related radionuclides may be detected by gross beta testing. However, gross beta analysis cannot identify specific radionuclides. Therefore, if elevated activity is noted, other testing such as gamma spectrometry must be performed to determine the specific radioactive contaminants. If fission-related beta radionuclides are present, then fission-related gamma emitters would also be present, allowing gamma spectroscopy results to provide a complete, radionuclide-specific identification. Although the beta testing is redundant given these facts, the Town is requiring gross beta analysis for the Seabrook Station's IDP monitoring program on the basis that it may provide a secondary measurement to indicate the presence of potentially unreported radionuclides in a gamma scan (only those radionuclides in a selected "library" are reported).

Gamma energy is electromagnetic, similar to X-rays, except at greater energy levels. Gamma spectrometry is required to detect common radionuclides associated with nuclear power production, such as cobalt-60, manganese-54 and cesium-137. Gamma spectrometry services provided by a qualified analytical laboratory certified by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services can identify those radionuclides associated with nuclear power production. Reporting libraries for naturally-occurring compounds can also be requested. Gamma emitters also include iodine, which is used in certain medical treatments. The semiannual 24-hour composite wastewater sampling and gamma isotopic analysis included in Seabrook Station's IDP monitoring is consistent with the analytes specified in an NRC Branch Technical Position outlining an acceptable program for monitoring of radioactivity in the environs of nuclear power facilities. The required minimum detectable concentration (MDC) specified for potassium-40 is intended to support identification of gross beta activity measurements that may indicate exceedance of applicable regulatory levels for unidentified radionuclides.

A summary of radiological limitations for radionuclides that may be associated with Seabrook Station's discharge is presented in Table 3 at the end of this fact sheet. These limits apply to discharges of licensed material. The implementation of screening limits equal to half of the He-P 4090 concentration standards is intended to provide reasonable assurance that licensed material is not being inadvertently discharged to the POTW. Table 3 in not intended to be all-inclusive.

Gross beta analytical results are difficult to compare to regulatory standards because this test procedure does not identify specific radionuclides. It is anticipated that gross beta measurements will primarily be associated with potassium-402. However, the regulatory concentration limit for a mixture of unidentified radionuclides is relatively stringent (20 pCi/L). On this basis, the gross beta activity measurement alone is likely to result in an exceedance of the standard for unidentified mixtures. To resolve this issue, it is anticipated that the gamma spectrometry testing will identify the presence of potassium-40 (and potentially other naturally-occurring radionuclides), and may account for most of the observed beta activity. Gross beta analysis will be performed in conjunction with the semiannual gamma isotopic Seabrook Station 1995 Annual Radioloaical Environmental Ooeratina Reoort for samples collected in 1995.

2 GZA Geoenvironmental estimated that a final effluent concentration of 52 pCIlL in the wastewater would result assuming 13,000 gpd of wastewater flow, 800 employees, a literature value of 120,000 pCi of potassium-40 per 70 kg person, and a 2 kg per day loss (as urine) per person.

Town of Seabrook, New Hampshire Sewer Department analysis. Results will be reported in the form of a trend evaluation of historical gross beta data. If an adverse trend is observed that cannot be explained by either known therapeutic treatments or by gamma isotopic analysis, additional specific beta emitter analysis will be performed.

The Town notes that the Table 3 limits are technically applicable only to the release of licensed radioactive materials. Since Seabrook Station is not seeking authorization to intentionally discharge licensed materials, and naturally occurring radionuclides are not regulated, this comparison is administered as a screening level approach, and exceedances would not necessarily provide a basis for regulatory response unless fission-related radionuclides were present.

TIERED LIMITS To facilitate regulatory compliance evaluations and to account for the significant variation in sanitary flow between normal operations and extended staffing operations (e.g., during refueling or other outage periods), a 2-tiered permit limitation system has been established that covers normal and extended staffing operating conditions. Accordingly, Page 2 of the permit, and Tables 3 and 4 of the Fact Sheet are presented in "A" and "B" versions, representing the two conditions.

FLOOR DRAINS During initial facility reconnaissance activities, a potential for accidental release and discharge to the sewer of fluids from thermal reservoirs associated with heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems was noted. These reservoirs, or storage tanks, range in volume from approximately 2,000 to 13,260 gallons, and are located in mechanical rooms at several separate locations. Water treatment chemicals associated with these systems include ethylene glycol and chlorine. Seabrook Station reported that maintenance or tank testing operations would not result in discharge of tank contents to the sewer. However, floor drains proximate to these systems would have provided a route for direct entry to the sewer in the event of an accidental release. The Town evaluated the impact of ethylene glycol releases and determined that the potential for adverse impact from a release was significant since it would likely result in an exceedance of the wastewater treatment facility's NPDES permit BOD effluent limitation. Therefore, the Town had conditioned Seabrook Station's IDP with a requirement to continue to implement Best Management Practices procedure developed under the prior IDP to address the potential for releases from these systems.

In the year prior to the 2007 renewal of this wastewater discharge permit, Seabrook Station eliminated all floor drains discharging to the POTW with the exception of (1) restroom floor drains and (2) those located beneath the safety showers in the Training Laboratory of the High Rise Building, all of which have been granted waivers by the Town. With the elimination of the remaining floor drains, this permit no longer requires the Permittee to continue to implement the specified Best Management Practices procedures.
