Dear Sir,
The attached information is submitted in compliance with 40 CFR part 112.4. Two oil spill events were reported from the Perry Nuclear Power Plant within a twelve month period. The first was reported on December 11, 1992 (PY-CEI/0 EPA-0169L, At tachment 1). The second was reported on April ,12, 1993 (PY-CEI/0 EPA-0178L, Attachment 2). Both of these events were related to the operation of the main turbine lubricating system and a leak in the turbine lubricating oil coolers. .The-December report covered the slow leak of turbine lubricating oil from the coolers (described in Attachment 3, #6) to the plant service water system, which is routed to the plant discharge to Lake Erie. The April report describes the release of oil that had been trapped in the service water system since the December event. The oil was released.when the service water system. Was drained for repair. Specific information required by 40 CFR part 112.4 is provided in Attachment 3. Please contact Louise Barton at (216) 259-3737 extension 5512 if you have questions or need more information.

Dear Mr. Hall,
In accordance with Part III, Section 12, this letter is serving as' confirmation , of a telephone report of an oil spill made to Bruce Miller on 12/8/92.
- 1. The limitation which has been exceeded: No permit limitation has been exceeded; no visible sheen was present on. Lake. Erie. The oil was- ..
discharged ' from the plant outfall' (No. 3IB00016004), which does not have an oil and grease limitation. Outfall 3IB00016002 has an oil and grease limitation of 15 mg/L 30 day and 20 mg/L daily. Neither'of those limits vere exceeded. This event is being reported under Part III,.Section
- 12. A.1. - Any noncompliance which may endanger health or the' environment.
- 2. The extent of the exceedance: Approximately 12.5 gallons per day'of of turbine lubricating oil vere mixed with plant service water and discharged-to Lake Erie. The concentration at the plant discharge.(outfall
~
q No.3IB00016004) vas <2.5 mg/L. ;
- 3. The cause of the exceedance: Turbine lubricating oil leaked from the oil 'l side of the cooler to the service water side and was discharged to Lake Erie via the plant outfall.
?
,o '
4 The period 'of the exceedance: 10/92 through 12/8/92.

Dear Mr. Hall,
In accordance-vith-Part III, Section 12.C., this letter is serving as confirmation of a telephone report of an oil spill made to the State _ Emergency. Response Commission on 4/8/93.
- 1. The limitation which has been exceeded: The general effluent limitation requiring that the effluent shall be free of substances of an " oily, greasy, or surface active nature ... in amounts that will form a noticeable accumulation of scum, foam, or sheen. Oil was discharged to a small, nameless stream on _the east side of the plant site, creating a visible layer on the surface.
- 2. The extent of the exceedance: -Approximately 35 gallons of oil' vere discharged through plant site storm drains to the _ stream.. . The -oil was contained in an impoundment area in the steam by a skimmer vall. Samsel Services of Cleveland vas contracted to perform clean up activities. The analytical result of a sample collected froml downstream of _ the skimmer indicated that.the oil was adequately contained behind the skimmer (the
-result was below the lover limit of detection, 5.0_ ppm). ,
- 3. The cause of'the exceedance: Oil entered an on site. Weir structure as'it [
vas being' drained of vater. The water was being pumpedito the storm drain; system. The oil vas not noticed in the weir structure until some of Lit' had been pumped to the storm drain.' , 4 '. The period of the exceedance: Approximately-0100.to 0150 on 4/8/93.~ i
- 5. If uncorrected, the anticipated time the exceedance is expected . to !
continue: The pumping activity was stopped at 0150 on 4/8/93. Clean up i activities in the stream vere completed by Samsel Services on 4/9/93. ; Doeconng Companies Cleveiano Elecmc mumincnng , 706900 E31 Son

8 4 . Attachment 3 (1) Name of the facility Perry Nuclear Power Plant (2) Name of the owner or operator of the facility Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (3) Location of the facility 10 Center Road, Perry, Ohio, Lake County (4) Date and year of initial facility operation Commercial operation began on November 18, 1987 (5) Maximum storage or handling capacity of the facility and normal daily throughput Main turbine lubricating oil reservoir tank maximum capacity is 11,480 gallons; normal capacity is 7,450 gallons. The. oil' is normally purified and reused in the system. (6) Description of the facility, including maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps The facility is a boiling water nuclear reactor with the capaci yt to generate 1250 Megawatts electric. Two streams cross the site aisa and receive storm drainage system runoff from the plant area. There is an additional impoundment area specifically for storm drainage in ' the northwest corner of the site. Attachment 4 shows the plant storm drain system. The service water system (see Attachment 5 for a system overview, and Attachment 6 for for a system flow diagram) draws up to 90,000 gallons per minute from Lake Erie and provides cooling water'to components in a variety of plant systens as well as make-up to the , cooling tower and to the plant water treatment facility. [ The main turbine lubricating system supplies purified lubricating oil. ' to various plant components. The oil is purified and reused within the system (see Attachment 7). Plant service water is used in the turbine lubricating oil coolers, which are mounted inside the main turbine lubricating oil reservoir. The coolers are two pass U-tube heat exchangers with lubricating oil flowing around-the tubes and service water flowing through the tubes.
f f (7) A couplete copy of the SPCC Plan with any amendments See Attachment 8 (8) 'Ihe cause of the spill, including a failure analysis of system or subsystem in which the failure occurred The incident was caused by a leak in one of the turbine lubricating oil coolers. The leak allowed lubricating oil to enter the service water system. The December report of this leak was based on the assumption that all oil that had leaked into service water wus subsequently discharged to Lake Erie with normal service water flow. The leaking cooler was repaired in place (the leaking tubes were plugged); since the leaking tubes were not removed, a failure analysis of the metal to determine the cause of the leaks was not performed. In April, the service water system was drained by pumping manually from a weir structure. During the pumping process, oil from the December event that had been trapped in a high point in the system entered the weir structure and was also pumped out. The oil / water mixture was pumped into a site storm drain which routed the material to a small, unnamed stream on the east side of the site. The oil was contained behind a skimmer wall; Samsel Services of Cleveland was contracted to clean the stream and storm drain system. (9) The corrective action and/or countermeasures taken, including an adequate description of equipment repairs and/or replacements For the December event, the leaking cooler was taken out of service and the leaks repaired. For the April event, the oil was initially contained behind a skimmer located in the stream; Samsel Services of Cleveland was contracted to remove the material from the stream. (10) Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of recurrence Directives were immediately issued to site personnel to 1) avoid the use of storm sewers for raw water system pumpout projects, and 2) to inspect water for oil prior to pumping. In addition, a Human Performance Enhancement System evaluation was performed to identify the cause of the April event and to identify corrective actions. As a result, plant procedures will be revised to include more detailed guidance for employees working on raw water system pumpouts. (11) Such other information as the Regional Administrator may reasonably require pertinent to the Plan or spill event Inspection by the U.S. Coast Guard, present during the initial April clean up, as well as sample collection and analyses, indicated that the oil was retained behind the skimmer and did not reach Lake Erie.
