Dear Sir:

4 s

W' In accordance with the General Conditions of oIJFTPDES discharge pemit, we reported a condition of non-ccmpliance to Mr. Dan King of fiYSCEC Buffalo Office on January 12, 1981 concerning our ifovember -

1980 SPDES report. We had analyzed and reported a figure for zinc of 1.73 mg/l (.30 maximu:n allcwable) in our low level waste treat-ment (LLWT) effluent (SPDES discharge 001). This sample was taken as a 24-hour composite and was not analyzed until the entire lagoon, some 9 x 105 liters, had been released.

l A composite of the entire relcase has been analyzed and found to be 0.17 mg/l which is below the .30 maximum allowable. We believe the l first sample was in some way contaninated because of repair work l being done in the laboratory to a radiation shielding window filled I

with 70 percent zine bromide solution and would like to submit the l second figure as beino the correct one. The present contents of the I lagoon have been analyzed and found to be 0,1 mg/l zinc.

l l Please contact us if there is any further question.

Very truly yours, ,

, (,e-l '
