Dear Sir or Madam:

Attached is the Residuals Discharge Monitoring Report for the Hope Creek Generating Station for the year of 2017. Also included are the Residuals Waste Characterization Report and the Residuals Transfer Submittal Report of 2017. There were no discharges or transfers of Sludge under this permit. All Sludge was processed as radioactive waste.

This report is required by and prepared specifically for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). It presents only the observed results of measurements and analyses required to be performed by the above agencies. The choice of the measurement devices and analytical methods are controlled by the EPA and the NJDEP, not by the company, and there are limitations on the accuracy of such measurement devices and analytical techniques even when used and maintained as required. Accordingly, this report is not intended as an assertion that any instrument has measured, or that any reading or analytical result represents the true value with absolute accuracy, nor is it an endorsement of the suitability of any analytical or measurement procedure.

If you have any questions concerning this report, please feel free to contact Geoffrey Zeiger at (856) 339-2080.

The Discharge Monitoring Report for Hope Creek Generating Station is now submitted and certified electronically to the NJDEP. This document contains a copy of the Monitoring Report Submittal Forms. yEZ-5
