' Perry Nuclear Power Plant NPDES Pennit No. 31800016'ED

Dear Mr. Nygaard:

The Perry Nuclear Power Plant has enlisted Betz Industrial to perform a molluscicide treatment on the plant service water system, utilizing Clam Trol CT 2. 'Ihe tentatlw schedule for this treatment is the week of August 25, take conditions permitting. Product infonnation and the required environmental data is attached. ,

Treatment for mollusks has been done annually at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant for several years using '

various products, however this will be the first use of Clam trol CT 2.

. ,n, If you have questions or require additional information to evabiate the use of this product, pleue call Donna Tinano at (216)280 5514.

Very Truly Yours,

1. Additive Name-Clam-Trol CT-2

a. MSDS (attachment 2)

b. Constituents listed in MSDS section 1.

c. alkyl dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride ethanol

d. For use as a molluscicide

c. EPA registration number; 3876149

2. Concentration i a. To be fed at concentrations ranging from 3 to 6 mg/L.

l b. Annual treatment, duration of application from 6 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> depending on Lake Erie temperature,

c. To be mechanically fed into system with ongoing sample / analysis for duration of treatment.

l

3. The expected concentration in the efIluent will be maintained below 0.04 mg/L, the LC3a for daphnia Magna, the most sensitive aquatic organism. .

a. The minimum quantitation limit Ibr Cinm-Trol CT 2 in fresh water is 0.05 mg/L.

This value was determined from a statistical evaluation of the performance of multiple operators working with field sah.ples. The analytical test methodis -

analogous to the ASTM " methylene blue active substances" test for anionic surfactants, except for that an anionically charged indicator dye (methyl orange) is used in place of the methylene blue, since the active ingredient is a cationic surfactant. The test method measures only active ingredient in the product.

b. The active ingredient is cationically charged and absorbed onto naturally occurring suspended solids, algae and surfaces. Typical product demand from natural waters is approximately 0.3 mg/L. Where necessary, the natural demand can be augmented by the addition of high surface area anionically charged clays.

1. Betz

Dearborn DTG,

a swelling elay mineral of the bentonite family is used to absorb the active ingredient where natural demand is insuflicient.

2. The active ingredient is retained on the clay by a combination of physical adsorption (hydrophobic fatty acid surfactant tail to solid particle), charge attraction (cation to anion), and intercalation of the active ingredient between the clay platelets.

3. Attachment 3 provides the acute and chronic toxicity associated with both the DTG clay product and mixtures of the DTG with the active ingredient. In

PY CEl/OEPA-0275L Attachment 1 Page 2 of 2 these studies, the product is referred to as Clam Trol CT-4. The active ingredient in Clam-Trol CT-4 is identified to Clam-Trol CT-2. However, the CT-4 active concentration is 10% whereas the CT-2 is 50% active (5 times as concentrated). Several additional studies have been performed over the years to confirm that the product is inactivated " instantaneously" (mixed in-line and added directly to a daphnid aquaria), and that the actives do not desorb readily with shifts in pil, ammonia, or calcium concentrations.

4. The detoxifying agent is a bentonite clay, a natural clay mineral which is not toxic and will simply contribute ever so slightly to the sediments.

4. Average flow rate at outfall and outfall number

a. The average flowrate at the outfallis 93.60 MGD.

~

b. The point representative of discharge prior to timnel emry is permitted as 31B00016004, s s

5. Lake Erie receives the discharge from the plant.

6. Toxicity and enviromnentalinformation.

a. For Clam Trol CT-2 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> Daohn/aMagnia, LC3a = 0.04 mg/L 1 96 hour0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> - Rainbow Trout, LC3o = 2.0 mg/L

b. The log of the octanol / water partition coefficient to.- Clam-Trol CT-2 is reported as a range of 2.9-4.9. An accurate value is difficult to achieve because the' product is a surfactant which tends to emulsify the octanol water mixture, and because the product is a mixture of Cu, Ca, and Ca alykl chains. The ADBAC joint venture group sponsored a study by Springborne Life Sciences, Inc. to satisfy USEPA registration guideline 165-4 for a definitive bioaccumulation study in fish. The 8 week study used bluegill sunfish as the test organism. They reported bicaccumulation factors of 160x and 33x in non-edible and edible tissue, respectively. The bioaccumulation factors were considered low, indicating that it would not tend to bioaccumulation. By contrast, DDT and PCB's are reported to have bicaccumulation values of 1,585,000 and 631,000 using the same test protocol. Another study sponsored by Rohm and llaas indicated that the peak concentration in fish tissue was reached after 2 weeks and the biological halflife in fish tissue was a relatively short 7 days.
