Dear Mr. Garg:

j

Subject:

Limerick Generating Station NPDES Pennit No. PA0051926 Pursuant to Chapter 92.7, " Reporting of New or increased Discharges." we are requesting the subject permit be , amended to allow a solution of xxlium pentaborate to be discharged to the Schuylkill River from outfall 001 via i the holding pond (monitoring point 201). As per our telephone conversation on Thursday, January 6,1994, the concentration of sodium pentaborate in the final effluent of outfall 001 will te limited to 57 mg/l average and 285 mg/l inst;mtaneous maximum. The following information/ plan is being provided to demonstrate that the specified concentration limitations will not be exceeded: l) 25 - 55 gallon drums of sodium pentaborate are to be released. The material will be released over 5 holding pond discharge events (5 barrels or 275 gallons per discharge event).

2) Limerick Generating Station Technical Specifications dictate that the maximum allowabla concentration of sodium pentaborate to be used in the stand-by liquid control sysu.m is' l 138,000 ppm (Note. the present solution has a concentration of 135.000 ppm). Herefore,-

F releasing 275 gallons of solution into the 200.000 gallon holding pond will resuh in a  ! concentration of 189.75 ppm of sodium pentaborate in the holdi..g pond.

3) Discharge from the holding pond commences when the level in the pond reaches 200.000 gallons. He holding pond discharges at a flow of 1.0(X) gpm and mixes with cooling tower blowdown. The minimum allowable cooling tower blowdown now rate is 5000 gpm (the maximum blowdown rate is 10,000 gpm). The mixture of holding pond efuuent and cooling
                                                                                                                                                 '1 tower blowdown will result in a corcentration of 38 ppm of sodium pentaborate in the final efnuent at outfall 00L Dis numbet conservative due to the use of the maximum allowable                            .j '

concentration of sodium pentaborate and the mi Snum cooling tower blowdown rate in the final - cfuuent concentration calculation. Attached for your infonnation are the calculations used in determining the fimd ef0uent concentration and the 'j material safety data sheets for' boric acid and borax (two components that make up sodium pentaborate). A copy of this letter (including any anachments or enclosures) is being sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) in accordance with the Limerick Generating Station. Units I and 2. Environmental Protection Plan. Section 3.2, which stipulates that USNRC shall receive a copy of any proposed changes to the NPDES pennit at the same time that the permittin;, agency is notified. l
