We have also checked the Natural Heritage Database for occurrences of rare plant species or ecological communities. TheNatural Heritage Database has records for occurrences of Eupatorium resinosuin, Carex barrattii and Helonias bullata thatmay be on the site, for Vernonia glauca and Setaria magna that may be on or in the immediate vicinity of the site, and anadditional 36 records for rare species or ecological communities that may be in the immediate vicinity of the site. Theattached lists provide more information about these occurrences. Because some species are sensitive to disturbance orsought by collectors, this information is provided to you on the condition that no specific locational data are releasedto the general public. This is not intended to preclude your submission of this information to regulatory agenciesfrom which you are seeking permits.

Also attached is a list of rare species and ecological communities that have been documented from Camden, Gloucester andSalem County. If suitable habitat is present at the project site, these species have potential to be present.

Status and rank codes used in the tables and lists are defined in the attached EXPLANATION OF CODES USED IN NATURALHERITAGE REPORTS.

The Natural Heritage Program reviews its data periodically to identify priority sites for natural diversity in the State.Included as priority sites are some of the State's best habitats for rare and endangered species and ecological communities.Nine of these sites are located within or near the areas you have outlined. Please refer to the enclosed Natural HeritagePriority Site Maps for the locations and boundaries of these sites. On the back of each Priority Site Map is a reportdescribing the significance of the site. You may find the site biodiversity significance rating to be useful if you need toO prioritize among the sites in your environmental assessment.

If you have questions concerning the wildlife records or wildlife species mentioned in this response, we recommend thatyou visit the interactive I-Map-NJ website at the following URL, http://www.state.nj.us/dep/gis/depsplash.htm or contactthe Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program at (609) 292 9400.

Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout Natural Heritage Priority Sites

• What are Natural Heritage Priority Sites?Through its Natural Heritage Database, the Office ofNatural Lands Management (ONLM) identifies criticallyimportant areas to conserve New Jersey's biologicaldiversity. The database provides detailed information onrare species and ecological communities to planners,developers, and conservation agencies for use in resourcemanagement, environmental impact assessment, and bothpublic and private land protection efforts.

Using the database, ONLM has identified 414 NaturalHeritage Priority Sites, representing some of the bestremaining habitat for rare species and exemplaryecological communities in the state. The DEPEndangered and Nongame Species Program provided keyinformation and assisted with the delineation of a numberof the sites. These areas should be considered to be toppriorities for the preservation of biological diversity inNew Jersey. If these sites become degraded ordestroyed, we may lose some of the unique componentsof our natural heritage.

How are Natural Heritage Priority Site maps usedW in conservation of biological diversity?

Natural Heritage Priority Site maps are used byindividuals and agencies concerned with the protectionand management of land. The maps have been used bymunicipalities preparing natural resource inventories;public and private conservation organizations preparingopen space acquisition goals; land developers andconsultants identifying environmentally sensitive lands;and public and private landowners developing landmanagement plans.

Natural Heritage Priority Sites contain some of the bestand most viable occurrences of endangered andthreatened species and ecological communities, but theydo not cover all known habitat for endangered andthreatened species in New Jersey. If information isneeded on whether or not endangered or threatenedspecies have been documented from a particular piece ofland, a Natural Heritage Database search can berequested by contacting the Office of Natural LandsManagement at the address below.

What do the boundaries of the sites contain?The boundaries of each Natural Heritage Priority Site aredrawn to encompass critical habitat for rare species orecological communities. Often the boundaries extend toinclude additional buffer lands that should be managed toprotect the habitat. A justification for the boundary isprovided for each site. The term "primary bounds" issometimes used to refer to boundaries enclosing criticalhabitat. The term "secondary bounds" issometimes used

to refer to boundaries enclosing additional buffer. Inmaps where both primary and secondary boundaries aredescribed, only the outermost boundary is provided in themapping.

What is the background map that the sites aredrawn upon?The sites are portrayed on background maps producedfrom a digital copy of the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5minute topographic maps. The background maps containtopographic lines as well as streams, lakes, roads, townsand place names. These background maps do not alwaysreflect recent changes in land development. Some maybe more than 20 years old. Some sites appear to beshifted in position against this topo map. This shift isdue to the fact that most sites have been digitized usingrectified aerial photography, and some of the digitizedUSGS topo maps do not align with this photography.

What do "public lands" depict on the maps?The "public lands" shaded on these maps are state-ownedopen space lands that have been digitized as a GIScoverage by the state Green Acres Program. Thisinformation is provided to show patterns of State landownership in the vicinity of the Priority Site. The publiclands are areas such as State Parks and Forests, WildlifeManagement Areas, and Natural Lands Trust preserves.They do not currently include lands owned by other stateagencies, federal, county or municipal governments ornonprofit conservation organizations. This GIS coverageis constantly being updated, and therefore future editionsof the maps will likely contain additional public landsthat are not currently mapped as such.

What is the biodiversity significance rank and howis it used?Each site is ranked according to its significance for

biological diversity using a scale developed by TheNature Conservancy, the network of Natural HeritagePrograms, and the New Jersey Natural Heritage Program.The ranks can be used to distinguish between sites thatare of global significance for conservation of biologicaldiversity vs. those that are of state significance. Theglobal biodiversity significance ranks range from B I toB5. In some cases the global biodiversity significancerank is then combined with a state biodiversitysignificance rank which provides information about thesignificance of the site on a state level. The statebiodiversity significance rank ranges from VI to V5. Thespecific definitions for each rank are as follows:

B1 - Outstanding significance (n a global level, generally the"last of the least" in the world, such as the only knownoccurrence of any element (species or ecological community),

the best or an excellent occurrence of an element rankedcritically imperiled globally, or a concentration (4+) of good orexcellent occurrences of elements that are imperiled orcritically imperiled globally. The site should be viable anddefensible for the elements or ecological processes contained.

B2 - Very high significance on a global level, such as the mostoutstanding occurrence of any ecological community. Alsoincludes areas containing other occurrences of elements that arecritically imperiled globally, a good or excellent occurrence ofan element that is imperiled globally, an excellent occurrenceof an element that is rare globally, or a concentration (4+) ofgood occurrences of globally rare elements or viableoccurrences of globally imperiled elements.

B3 - High significance on a global level, such as any' otherviable occurrence of an element that is globally imperiled, agood occurrence of a globally rare element, an excellentoccurrence of any ecological community, or a concentration(4+) of good or excellent occurrences of elements that arecritically imperiled in the State.

B4 - Moderate significance on a global level, such as a viableoccurrence of a globally rare element, a good occurrence of anyecological community, a good or excellent occurrence or onlyviable state occurrence of an element that is critically imperiledin the State, an excellent occurrence of an element that isimperiled in the State, or a concentration (4+) of goodoccurrences of elements that are imperiled in the State orexcellent occurrences of elements that are rare in the State.

B5 - Of general biodiversity interest on a global level.

Vt - Outstanding significance on a state level. Only knownoccurrence in the state for an element or Site with an excellentoccurrence or the best occurrence in the state for an elementranked critically' imperiled in the state or a concentration (4+)of good or excellent occurrences of elements that are imperiledor critically imperiledin the state.

CAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON NATURAL HERITAGE DATA

The quantity and quality of data collected by the Natural Heritage Program isdependent on the research and observations of many individuals and organizations. Notall of this information is the result of comprehensive or site-specific field surveys. Somenatural areas in New Jersey have never been thoroughly surveyed. As a result, newlocations for plant and animal species are continuously added to the database. Since dataacquisition is a dynamic, ongoing process, the Natural Heritage Program cannot provide adefinitive statement on the presence, absence, or condition of biological elements in anypart of New Jersey. Information supplied by the Natural Heritage Program summarizesexisting data known to the program at the time of the request regarding the biologicalelements or locations in question. They should never be regarded as final statements onthe elements or areas being considered, nor should they be substituted for on-site surveysrequired for environmental assessments. The attached data is provided as one source ofinformation to assist others in the preservation of natural diversity.

This office cannot provide a letter of interpretation or a statement addressing theclassification of wetlands as defined by the Freshwater Wetlands Act. Requests for suchdetermination should be sent to the DEP Land Use Regulation Program, P.O. Box 401,Trenton, NJ 08625-0401.

The Landscape Project was developed by the Division of Fish & Wildlife,Endangered and Nongame Species Program in order to map critical habitat for rare animalspecies. Natural Heritage Database response letters will also list all species (if any) foundduring a search of the Landscape Project. However, this office cannot answer anyinquiries about the Landscape Project. All questions should be directed to the DEPDivision of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program, P.O. Box 400,Trenton, NJ 08625-0400.

This cautions and restrictions notice must be included whenever informationprovided by the Natural Heritage Database is published.

-EXPLANATIONS OF CODES USED IN NATURAL HERITAGE REPORTS

FEDERAL STATUS CODES

The following US. Fish and Wildlife Service categories and their definitions of endangered and threatened plants and animals have been modified from the

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (F.R. Vol. SO No. 188; Vol. 61, No. 40; F.R. 50 CFR Part 1 7). Federal Status codes reported for species follow the most recent

listing.

LE

Taxa for which the Service currently has on file sufficient information on biological vulnerability and threat(s) to support proposals to list

them as endangered or threatened species.

S/A Similarity of appearance species,

STATE STATUS CODES

Two animal lists provide state status codes after the Endangered and Nongame Species Conservation Act of 1973 (NSSA 23:2A-1 3 et. seq.): the list of

*ered species (N.J.A.C. 7:25-4.13) and the list defining status of indigenous, nongarne wildlife species of New Jersey (NJA.C. 7:25-4.1 7(a)). The status

al species is determined by the Nongame and Endangered Species Program (ENSP). The state status codes and definitions provided reflect the most

recent lists that were revised in the New Jersey Register, Monday, June 3, 1991.

D Declining species-a species which has exhibited a continued decline in population numbers over the years.

E Endangered species-an endangered species Is one whose prospects for survival within the state are in immediate danger due to one or

many factors - a loss of habitat, over exploitation, predation, competition, disease. An endangered species requires immediate

assistance or extinction will probably follow.

EX Extirpated species-a species that formerly occurred in New Jersey, but is not now known to exist within the state.

Introduced species-a species not native to New Jersey that could not have established itself here without the assistance of man.

INC Increasing species-a species whose population has exhibited a significant increase, beyond the normal range of its life cycle, over a long

term period.

T Threatened species-a species that may become endangered if conditions surrounding the species begin to or continue to deteriorate.

p Peripheral species-a species whose occurrence in New Jersey is at the extreme edge of its present natural range.

S Stable species-a species whose population is not undergoing any long-term increase/decrease within its natural cycle.

U Undetermined species-a species about which there is not enough information available to determine the status.

*tfor animals separated by a slash(/) indicate a duel status. First status refers to the state breeding population, and the second status refers to the

t8ory or winter population.

SC Special Concern - applies to animal species that warrant special attention because of some evidence of decline, inherent vulnerability to

environmental deterioration, or habitat modification that would result in their becoming a Threatened species. This category would also be

applied to species that meet the foregoing criteria and for which there is little understanding of their current population status in the state.

Plant taxa listed as endangered are from NewJersey's official Endangered PlantSpecies List NJ.S.A. 131 B-1 5.151 et seq.

E Native New Jersey plant species whose survival in the State or nation is in jeopardy.

REGIONAL STATUS CODES FOR PLANTS AND ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES

LP Indicates taxa listed by the Pinelands Commission as endangered or threatened within their legal jurisdiction. Not all species currently

tracked by the Pinelands Commission are tracked by the Natural Heritage Program. A complete list of endangered and threatened

Pineland species is included in the New Jersey Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan.

HL Indicates taxa or ecological communities protected by the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act within the jurisdiction of the

Highlands Preservation Area.

EXPLANATION OF GLOBAL AND STATE ELEMENT RANKS

The Nature Conservancy developed a ranking system for use In identifying elements (rare species and ecological communities) of natural diversity most

endangered with extinction. Each element is ranked according to its global, national, and state (or subnational in other countries) rarity. These ranks are used

to prioritize conservation work so that the most endangered elements receive attention first. Definitions for element ranks are after The Nature Conservancy

(1982: Chapter 4, 4.1-1 through 4.4.1.3-3).

GLOBAL ELEMENT RANKS

GI Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres) or because of

some factor(s) making It especially vulnerable to extinction.

G2 Imperiled globally because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences or few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it

very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.

G3 Either very rare and local throughout Its range or found locally (even abundantly at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g., a

single western state, a physiographic region in the East) or because of other factors making it vulnerable to extinction throughout it's

range: with the number of occurrences in the range of 21 to 100.

G4 Apparently secure globally; although it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery.

GS Demonstrably secure globally; although it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery.

GH Of historical occurrence throughout its range I.e., formerly part of the established biota, with the expectation that it may be rediscovered.

GU Possibly in peril range-wide but status uncertain; more information needed.

GX Believed to be extinct throughout range (e.g., passenger pigeon),with virtually no likelihood that it will be rediscovered.

G? Species has not yet been ranked,

GNR Species has not yet been ranked,

STATE ELEMENT RANKS

S Critically imperiled in New Jersey because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres). Elements

so ranked are often restricted to very specialized conditions or habitats and/or restricted to an extremely small geographical area of the

state. Also included are elements which were formerly more abundant, but because of habitat destruction or some other critical factor of

its biology, they have been demonstrably reduced in abundance. In essence, these are elements for which, even with intensive searching,

sizable additional occurrences are unlikely to be discovered.

S2 Imperiled in New Jersey because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences). Historically many of these elements may have been more frequent but

are now known from very few extant occurrences, primarily because of habitat destruction. Diligent searching may yield additional

occurrences.

S3 Rare in state with 21 to 100 occurrences (plant species and ecological communities in this category have only 21 to 50 occurrences),

Includes elements which are widely distributed in the state but with small populations/acreage or elements with restricted distribution,

but locally abundant. Not yet imperiled in state but may soon be If current trends continue. Searching often yields additional

occurrences.

S4 Apparently secure in state, with many occurrences.

SS Demonstrably secure in state and essentially ineradicable under present conditions.

O SA Accidental in state, including species (usually birds or butterflies) recorded once or twice or only at very great intervals, hundreds or even

thousands of miles outside their usual range; a few of these species may even have bred on the one or two occasions they were recorded;

examples Include European strays or western birds on the East Coast and vice-versa.

SE Elements that are clearly exotic in New Jersey including those taxa not native to North America (introduced taxa) or taxa deliberately or

accidentally introduced into the State from other parts of North America (adventive taxa). Taxa ranked SE are not a conservation priority

(viable introduced occurrences of G1 or G2 elements may be exceptions).

SH Elements of historical occurrence in Newjersey. Despite some searching of historical occurrences and/or potential habitat, no extant

occurrences are known. Since not all of the historical occurrences have been field surveyed, and unsearched potential habitat remains,

historically ranked taxa are considered possibly extant, and remain a conservation priority for continued field work.

SP Element has potential to occur in New Jersey, but no occurrences have been reported.

SR Elements reported from New Jersey, but without persuasive documentation which would provide a basis for either accepting or rejecting

the report. In some instances documentation may exist, but as of yet, its source or location has not been determined.

SRF Elements erroneously reported from New Jersey, but this error persists in the literature.

SU Elements believed to be in peril but the degree of rarity uncertain. Also included are rare taxa of uncertain taxonomical standing. More

information is needed to resolve rank.

SX Elements that have been determined or are presumed to be extirpated from New Jersey, All historical occurrences have been searched

and a reasonable search of potential habitat has been completed. Extirpated taxa are not a current conservation priority.

SXC Elements presumed extirpated from New Jersey, but native populations collected from the wild exist in cultivation.

SZ Not of practical conservation concern in New Jersey, because there are no definable occurrences, although the taxon is native and

appears regularly in the state. An SZ rank will generally be used for long distance migrants whose occurrences during their migrations

are too irregular (in terms of repeated visitation to the same locations), transitory, and dispersed, to be reliably identified, mapped and

protected. In other words, the migrant regularly passes through the state, but enduring, mappable element occurrences cannot be

defined.

Typically, the SZ rank applies to a non-breeding population (N) in the state - for example, birds on migration. An SZ rank may in a few

instances also apply to a breeding population (B), for example certain lepidoptera which regularly die out every year with no significant

return migration.

Although the SZ rank typically applies to migrants, It should not be used indiscriminately. Just because a species is on migration does

not mean it receives an SZ rank. SZ will only apply when the migrants occur in an irregular, transitory and dispersed manner.

B Refers to the breeding population of the element in the state.

N Refers to the non-breeding population of the element in the state.

T Element ranks containing a "T" indicate that the infraspecific taxon is being ranked differently than the full species. For example Stachys

pa/ustris var. homotr/chas is ranked "GST? SH" meaning the full species is globally secure but the global rarity of the var. homotricha has

not been determined: in New Jersey the variety is ranked historic.

Q Elements containing a "Q" in the global portion of its rank Indicates that the taxon Is of questionable, or uncertain taxonomical standing,

e.g., some authors regard it as a full species, while others treat it at the subspecific level,

.1 Elements documented from a single location,

Note: To express uncertainty, the most likely rank is assigned and a question mark added (e.g., G2?). A range is Indicated by combining two ranks (e.g.,

G1G2, S1S3).

IDENTIFICATION CODES

These codes refer to whether the identification of the species or community has been checked by a reliable individual and is indicative of significant habitat.

y Identification has been verified and is indicative of significant habitat.

BLANK Identification has not been verified but there is no reason to believe it is not indicative of significant habitat.

? Either it has not been determined if the record is indicative of significant habitat or the identification of the species or

community may be confusing or disputed.

RE: Salem and Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations License RenewalLower Ailoways Creek, Salem CountyEnvironmental Report

Dear M r. Keating ... .. ...

The Office of Permit Coordination and Environmental Review of the New Jersey Departmentof Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has completed its review of the Environmental Reports for the,:Salem and Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations License Renewal. We offer, the followingc o m m e n t s . ...

COMMENTS

.BUREAU.OFNUCLEEAR ENGINFERING

The BurIeau of Nuclear Engineering (BNE) will provide commentss directly to theNuclearRegulatory Commission (NRC) on the environmental :reports for the license renewal .ofSalem/Hope Creek nuclear generating stations within the timefrafme established by the. NRC forthe.Draft Supplemental Environmental hmpact Statement comment period ".

-BUREAU OF ENVIRONMENTAL RADiATION

The.Bureau of Environmental Radiation (BER) does not have regulations governing theexposure to 604Hertz electric:.and nagnetic fieldS.4 Similarly, BER does not regulate induced orcohtact currerits. What we do have is a guideline that states..that the electric field at the edge of"the right oway (ROW) should b no greater than 3 kilovolts per meter, micasured:at a height of i::.,meter. above the ground. This is a.-recommendatio-n adopted in1981 byf resolutiionof.theCormmnission on .Radiation Pr6tection. It would be advisable but not mandatory fiiat the utility"conductperiodicmeasurements alongROW's to document electric field leveIs.a.

Regarding magnetic fields, at this point in time, the consensus among the scientific 9community is that there is inconclusive evidence to .suggest that long-term exposure to magneticfields from power lines would result in adverse health outcomes. However, for new or modifiedlines, many health-based organizations are still recommending reducing magnetic fields if low orno-cost options exist. In a June 2007 fact sheet put forth from the World Health Organization(WHO Fact sheet No. 322), the following guidance is issued: "When constructing new facilitesand deigning new equipment. . low-cost ways of reducing exposures may be explored."

Therefore, in light of such uncertainty, if thereare any future changes made:to the power deliverysystem that would lower theexisting magnetic fields from the power lines, it may be prudent toexplore such options. Likewise, if new lines are installed, it would be advisable to construct thelines so that magnetic :fields, at ground level are as low as reasonably achievable.

OFFICE OF NATURAL LANDS MANAGEMENT

From what is stated in the Environmental Reports, it appears that no field work wascompleted for these projects. It is unclear. as to whether a Natural Heritage Program (NHP) DataRequest was submitted to the Office of Natural Lands Management (ONLM).. The only thingincluded in the reports was a list of species generated from the ONLM county lists :(but perhapsreceived from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service). No copy of the results, of the NHP. data requestwas attached and the NHP is not included in the correspondence appendix, although a letter fromDave Jenkins (NJDEP's Endangered and Nongame Species Program [ENSP]) is included. Davestated that a NHP data request should be requested by PSE&G.

The only rare plant species mentioned as being on site is a population of swamp pink(Helonias bullata) which was reported as occurring, somewhere in Salem County where one of thepower lines crosses its habitat.. No potential, impacts or management plans are discussed (DaveJenkins points this out as well, and asks that a plan be addressed.) The source for this report maybe from U.S. Fish & Wildlife but it could be from the NHP as a letter from Herb Lord is cited .inthe references, but a copy of the correspondence does not seem to be included (hence ONLM'suncertainty as to whether a NHP datarequest was completed).

At a minimum, a rare plant inventory of the project sites should be performed and, if notalready completed, a NHP data request.should be completed.

Thank-you for-providing-the- NJDEP the opportunity to comment on. tile- Emronmental.... .. .......Reports for the Salem and Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations LicenseRenewal.

Mr. Frank SteitzBureau of Operating PermitsNew Jersey Department of Environmental Protection401 East State St. - 2 nd FloorTrenton, NJ 08625

Reference: PSEG Nuclear LLCHope Creek and Salem Generating StationsProgram Interest Number: 65500Activity Number: BOP080001Title V Operating Permit Renewal Application

. Dear Mr. Steitz:

PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG Nuclear) is submitting the enclosed application to renew theTitle V Operating Permit (Title V permit or the permit) for the Hope Creek and SalemGenerating Stations (the Stations). The New Jersey Department of EnvironmentalProtection (NJDEP or the Department) approved the stations' initial Title V permit onFebruary 2, 2005.

According to N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.30(c), to be considered timely, renewal applications mustbe received by the Department, and be administratively complete, at least 12 monthsprior to the expiration of the Title V permit. However, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.4(e)guidance, PSEG Nuclear is submitting this renewal application at least 15 months priorto permit expiration, so that any deficiencies identified in the application can beaddressed and the enclosed renewal application can qualify for an "application shield"pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.7(b).. PSEG Nuclear requests that the Departmentprovide written confirmation that the application is administratively complete and theapplication shield applies.

Application Forms

The application forms used in this submittal were obtained from the NJDEP's AirOperating Permit Renewal Application Forms Package. These forms are included asAttachment I and are described in detail below.

Mr. Frank S:.itaftzOctober 28, 200& Page 2

Section 1 - Facility Profile

Section 1 contains contact information for PSEG Nuclear.

Also, Section I addresses the provisions for the Compliance Assurance Monitoring(CAM) plan. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)promulgated the CAM rule, 40 CFR 64, to establish monitoring for "reasonableassurance of compliance" with Title V Operating Permit requirements. Based on theapplicability provisions of 40 CFR 64.2(a), the CAM provisions applies to major sourcesthat:

" Are equipped with pollutant control devices to comply with emission standards,and

o Have pre-control emissions equal to or greater than 100 percent of the majorsource threshold for a given pollutant.

No emission sources at the Stations are equipped with control devices and have greaterthan 100% of the pre-control device'emissions equal to or greater than 100% of themajor source threshold for a given pollutant; therefore, the Station is not subject toCAM.

In addition, Section 1 contains a statement of whether changes were made to theStation's Acid Rain Program. Pursuant to 40 CFR 72.6(b)(1), the Acid Rain regulationsdo not apply to the Salem Unit No. 3, simple-cycle combustion turbines (U39), becausethey were installed before PSEG's November 15, 1990 applicability date.

Section 2 - Application Certification

Section 2 contains a signed certification form.

Section 3- Seven-Day-Notice Chanaes

As indicated in Section 3 of the permit renewal application, PSEG Nuclear has notsubmitted any Seven-Day-Notice changes during the permit term.

Section 4 - Chanqes Made To Insignificant SOurce Operations

Section 4 of the application addresses changes that have occurred to InsignificantSource operations at the Stations. As noted in Section 4 of the enclosed application,changes to insignificant source operations IS108 have occurred during the permit term.

Section 5- Summary of the Results from Testing and Monitoring

Section 5 of the application contains a list of all stack testing, Continuous EmissionsMonitoring ("CEM"), and Continuous Opacity Monitoring ("COM") requirements in theperm Th scli-ctatTshte-a-chrre-meL.

Mr. Frank SteitzOctober 28, 2008 Page 30Section 6 - Compliance Status

Section 6 of the application contains the compliance status for all applicablerequirements listed in the permit. Each Subject Item is listed along with the compliancestatus and methods used to determine compliance. Please note that no complianceschedules are included in this section, because the Stations are in compliance with allapplicable requirements listed in the permit.

Section 7- Pollution Prevention Reportinq

Section 7 of the application contains Pollution Prevention Reporting information. Thissection presents the historical trends in pollutant emission levels at the Stations over thelast five (5) years. PSEG Nuclear has utilized information from its annual emissionstatements reports for calendar years 2003 through 2007 to satisfy the requirements ofSection 7.

Historical emission trend information for hazardous air pollutants ("HAPs") is notrequired to be submitted because the Stations' potential to emit any HAP is well below

* .the 10 tons per year ("tpy") threshold identified on page 10 of the instructions in theRenewal Application Forms Package. Based on the instructions, historical emissiontrend information is only provided for NO, and VOC emissions for units with potentialemissions over 5 tons per year.

Fee Calculation

Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.31, the base fee for a Title V Renewal is $125 per significantsource operation. Please invoice the Company for this and any other applicable fees. -

If you have any questions regarding this application, please contact me at (856) 339-2307.

Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) Requirements

EPA developed 40 CFR 64 (Compliance Assurance Monitoring or "CAM") in order to providereasonable assurance that facilities comply with emission limitations by monitoring theoperation and maintenance of their control devices. In general, CAM applies to emission unitsthat meet all of the following conditions:" the emission unit is located at a major source for which a Title V permit is required; and" the emission unit is subject to an emission limitation or standard for a specific contaminant; and

" the emission unit uses a control device to achieve compliance with that specific contaminant'sfederally enforceable limit or standard; and

- the emission unit has potential pre-control or post-control emissions (of that specificcontaminant) of at least 100% of the major source amount (see 40 CFR 64.2 - "Major facility"); and* the emission unit is not otherwise exempt from CAM (for exemptions, see 40 CFR 64.2(b)).

To learn more about the CAM program, check EPA's website: www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/cam.html.After reviewing the information above, check one of the following boxes:

* NO, my facility DOES NOT have any emission units subject to CAM requirements.

D1 YES, my facility DOES have one or more emission units subject to CAM requirements and a CAM plan

is provided with the operating permit renewal application.

Acid Rain Program

Per 40 CFR 72.6(b)(1), this section does not apply to the Salem Generating Station, simple cyclecombustion turbines (U39),.because they were installed before 11/15/90.

SUBJECT: CENAP-OP-R-2006-6232-45 (NWP 3)

Project Name: PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC AND GAS NUCLEAR LLC(SALEM AND HOPE STATIONS)

Mr. Christopher E. WhitePSEG Nuclear LLCP.O. Box 236Hancock Bridge, New Jersey 08038-0236

Dear Mr. White:

This is in regard to your proposal, to continue hydraulic maintenance dredging and desiltingoperations for the Salem circulating and service water intake structures, and discharge pipes, andfor the Hope Creek service water intake structure, and discharge pipe, located at the Salem andHope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations, on Artificial Island, Block 26, Lots 4, 4.01 and 5.01, inLower Alloway Township, Salem County, New Jersey.

Under current Federal regulations, a Department of the Army permit is required for work orstructures in navigable waters of the United States and/or the discharge of dredged or fillmaterial into waters of the United States including adjacent and isolated wetlands. Based uponour review of the information you have provided, it has been determined that the proposed workis approved by the existing Department of the Army Nationwide Permit (NWP) described below,provided the work is conducted in compliance with the special conditions below and the generalconditions specified in Enclosure 1.

Nationwide Permit 3: MaintenanceActivities related to:

(a) The repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of any previously authorized, currentlyserviceable, structure, or fill, or of any currently serviceable structure or fill authorized by 33CFR 330.3, provided that the structure or fill is not to be put to uses differing from those usesspecified or contemplated for it in the original permit or the most recently authorizedmodification. Minor deviations in the structure's configuration or filled area, including those dueto changes in materials, construction techniques,, or current construction codes or safetystandards that are necessary to make the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement are authorized.This NWP authorizes the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of those structures or fillsdestroyed or damaged by storms, floods, fire or other discrete events, provided the repair,rehabilitation, or replacement is commenced, or is under contract to commence, within two yearsof the date f their destruction or damage. In cases of catastrophic events, such as hurricanes or

-2-

tornadoes, this two-year limit may be waived by the district engineer, provided the permittee candemonstrate funding, contract, or other similar delays.

(b) This NWP also authorizes the removal of accumulated sediments and debris in thevicinity of and within existing structures (e.g., bridges, culverted road crossings, water intakestructures, etc.) and the placement of new or additional riprap to protect the structure. Theremoval of sediment is limited to the minimuln necessary to restore the waterway in theimmediate vicinity of the structure to the approximate dimensions that existed when the structurewas built, but cannot extend further than 200 feet in any direction from the structure. This 200foot limit does not apply to maintenance dredging to remove accumulated sediments blocking orrestricting outfall and intake structures or to maintenance dredging to remove accumulatedsediments firom canals associated with outfall and intake structures. All dredged or excavatedmaterials must be deposited and retained in an upland area unless otherwise specificallyapproved by the district engineer under separate authorization. The placement of riprap must bethe minimum necessary to protect the structure or to ensure the safety of the structure. Any bankstabilization measures not directly associated with the structure will require a separateauthorization from the district engineer.

(c) This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work necessary to conductthe maintenance activity. Appropriate measures must be taken to maintain normal downstreamflows and minimize flooding to the maximumn extent practicable, when temporary structures,work, and discharges, including cofferdams, are necessary for construction activities, access fills,or dewatering of construction sites. Temporary fills must consist of materials, and be placed in amanner, that will not be eroded by expected high flows. Temporary fills must be removed intheir entirety and the affected areas returned to pre-construction elevations. The areas affected bytemporary fills must be revegetated, as appropriate.

(d) This NWP does not authorize maintenance dredging for the primary purpose ofnavigation or beach restoration. This NWP does not authorize new stream channelization orstream relocation projects.

Notification: For activities authorized by paragraph (b) of this NWP, the permittee mustsubmit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer prior to commencing the activity(see general condition 27). Where maintenance dredging is proposed, the pre-constructionnotification must include information regarding the original design capacities and configurationsof the outfalls, intakes, small impoundments, and canals. (Sections 10 and 404)

Note: This NWP authorizes the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of any previouslyauthorized structure or fill that does not qualify for the Clean Water Act Section 404(f)exemption for maintenance.

You are advised that this verification of NWP authorization is valid for two (2) years fromthe date of this letter, unless the NWP authorization is modified, suspended, or revoked. In theevent that the NWP authorization is reissued and/or modified during that time period, this two-year expiration date will remain valid, provided the activity complies with any subsequentreissuance and/or modification of the NWP authorization.

The enclosed table (Enclosure 2) identifies those NWPs which require a preconstructionnotification (PCN) to the Corps of Engineers, those which have been regionally conditioned bythe Division Engineer, and those which have been denied 401 Water Quality Certification(WQC) and/or Coastal Zone Management (CZM) consistency by the State. It is noted that CZM

. . .I

-3-

consistency from the State is only required for those activities in or affecting a State's coastalzone. Additionally, some of the NWPs do not involve a discharge of dredged or fill material.and as such, do not require a 401 WQC. For those NWPs not requiring a 401 WQC, theappropriate rows and columns have been identified with the term "NA". If the State has deniedthe required WQC and/or not concurred with the Corps' CZM consistency determination, theNWP authorization is considered denied without prejudice until an individual project specificWQC and/or CZM approval is obtained. This approval must be obtained in order for the activityto be authorized under the NWP and a copy provided to this office before work begins. Anyproject specific conditions required by the State for the WQC and/or CZM approval willautomatically become part of the NWP authorization.

8. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the activity creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects tothe aquatic system due to accelerating the passage of water, and/or restricting its flow must be minimized tothe maximum extent practicable.

9. Management of Water Flows. To the maximurm extent practicable, the pre-construction course,condition, capacity, and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity, including streamchannelization and storm water management activities, except as provided below. The activity must beconstructed to withstand expected high flows. The activity must not restrict or impede the passage of normalor high flows, unless the primary purpose of the activity is to impound water, or manage high flows. Theactivity may alter the pre-construction course, condition, capacity, and location of open waters if it benefits theaquatic environment (e.g., stream restoration or relocation activities).

10. Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains. The activity must comply with applicable FEMA-approved state o0local floodplain management requirements.

11. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed on mats, or othermeasures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.

12. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls. Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used and* maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as well as

any work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be permanently stabilized at the earliestpracticable date. Permittees are encouraged to perform work within waters of the United States during periodsof low-flow or no-flow.

13. Removal of Temporary Fills. Temporary fins must be removed in their entirety and the affected areasreturned to pre-construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated, as appropriate

14. Proper Maintenance. Any authorized structure or fill shall be properly maintained, includingmaintenance to ensure public safety.

15. Wild and Scenic Rivers. No activity may occur in a component of the, National Wild and Scenic RiverSystem, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the systemwhile the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate Federal agency with direct managementresponsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity will not adversely affect theWild and Scenic River designation or study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtainedfrom the appropriate Federal land management agency in the area (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. ForestService, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).

16. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to,reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights.

*17. Endangered Species. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWTP which is likely to jeopardize thecontinued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, asidentified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which will destroy or adversely modify thecritical habitat of such species.

(b) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of the ESA.Federal permittees must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstratecompliance with those requirements.(c) Non-federal permittees shall notify the district engineer if any listed species or designated critical habitatmight be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or if the project is located in the designated critical habitatand shall not begin work on the activity until notified by the district engineer that the requirements of the ESAhave been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. For activities that might affect Federally-listedendangered or threatened species or designated critical habitat, the pre-construction notification must includethe name(s) of the endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or that utilizethe designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed Work. The district engineer will determinewhether the proposed activity "may affect" or will have "no effect" to listed species and designated criticalhabitat and will notify the non-Federal applicant of the Corps' determination within 45 days of receipt of acomplete pre-construction notification. In cases where the non-Federal applicant has identified listed speciesor critical habitat that might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, and has so notified the Corps, theapplicant shall not begin work until the Corps has provided notification the proposed activity will have "noeffect" on listed species or critical habitat, or until Section 7 consultation has been completed.(d) As a result of formal or informal consultation with the FWS or NMFS the district engineer may addspecies-specific regional endangered species conditions to the NWPs.

0e) Authorization of an activity by a NWP does not authorize the "take" of a threatened or endangered speciess defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10 Permit, a

Biological Opinion with "incidental take" provisions, etc.) from the U.S. FWS or the NMFS, both lethal and2

non-lethal "takes" of protected species are in violation of the ESA. Information on the location of threatenedand endangered species and their critical habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the U.S. FWS andNMFS or their world wide web pages at http://www.fws.gov/ and http://www.noaa.gov/fisheries.htmlrespectively.

18. Historic Properties. (a) In cases where the district engineer determines that the activity which may afhistoric properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places, the activity is notauthorized authorized, until the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)have been satisfied.(b) Federal permittees should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of Section 106of the National Historic Preservation Act. Federal permittees must provide the district engineer with theappropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements.(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if the

authorized activity may have the potential to cause effects to any historic properties listed, determined to beeligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, includingpreviously unidentified properties. For such activities, the pre-construction notification must state whichhistoric properties may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the location ofthe historic properties or the potential for the presence of historic properties. Assistance regarding informationon the location of or potential for the presence of historic resources can be sought from the State HistoricPreservation Officer or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, as appropriate, and the National Register ofHistoric Places (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)). The district engineer shall make a reasonable and good faith effort tocarry out appropriate identification efforts, which may include background research, consultation, oral historyinterviews, sample field investigation, and field survey. Based on the information submitted and these efforits,the district engineer shall determine whether the proposed activity has the potential to cause an effect on thehistoric properties. Where the non-Federal applicant has identified historic properties which the activity mayhave the potential to cause effects and so notified the Corps, the non-Federal applicant shall not begin theactivity until notified by the district engineer either that the activity has no potential to cause effects or tl*consultation under Section 106 of the NHPA has been completed.(d) The district engineer will notify the prospective perinittee within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification whether NHPA Section 106 consultation is required. Section 106 consultation is notrequired when the Corps determines that the activity does not have the potential to cause effects on historicproperties (see 36 CFR §800.3(a)). If NHPA section 106 consultation is required and will occur, the districtengineer will notify the non-Federal applicant that he or she cannot begin work until Section 106 consultationis completed.(e) Prospective permittees should be aware that section 110k of the NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470h-2(k)) prevents theCorps from granting a penrit or other assistance to an applicant who, with intent to avoid the requirements ofSection 106 of the NHPA, has intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic property to which thepermit would relate, or having legal power to prevent it, allowed such significant adverse effect to occur,unless the Corps, after consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), determinesthat circumstances justify granting such assistance despite the adverse effect created or permitted by theapplicant. If circumstances justify granting the assistance, the Corps is required to notify the ACHP andprovide documentation specifying the circumstances, explaining the degree of damage to the integrity of anyhistoric properties affected, and proposed mitigation. This documentation must include any views obtainedfrom the applicant, SHPO/THPO, appropriate Indian tribes if the undertaking occurs on or affects historicproperties on tribal lands or affects properties of interest to those tribes, and other parties known to have alegitimate interest in the impacts to the permitted activity on historic properties.

19. Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include, NOAA-designated marinesanctuaries, National Estuarine Research Reserves, state natural heritage sites, and outstanding nationresource waters or other waters officially designated by a state as having particular environmental *Wecological significance and identified by the district engineer after notice and opportunity for public comment.

3

The district engineer may also designate additional critical resource waters after notice and opportunity forcomment.(a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are not authorized by NWPs 7, 12,14. 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, and 50 for any activity within, or directly affecting, critical

* resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters.(b) For NWPs 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, and 38, notification is required inaccordance with general condition 27, for any activity proposed in the designated critical resource watersincluding wetlands adjacent to those waters. The district engineer may authorize activities under these NWPsonly after it is determined that the impacts to the critical resource waters will be no more than minimal.

20. Mitigation. The district engineer will consider the following factors when determining appropriate andpracticable mitigation necessary to ensure that adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal:(a) The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary andpermanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e., on site).(b) Mitigation in all its forms (avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, reducing, or compensating) will be required tothe extent necessary to ensure that the adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal.(c) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all wetland losses thatexceed 1/10 acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district engineer determines in writingthat some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate and provides a project-specificwaiver of this requirement. For wetland losses of 1/10 acre or less that require pre-construction notification,the district engineer may determine on a case-by-case basis that compensatory mitigation is required to ensurethat the activity results in minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. Since the likelihood of successis greater and the impacts to potentially valuable uplands are reduced, wetland restoration should be the firstcompensatory mitigation option considered.(d) For losses of streams or other open waters that require pre-construction notification, the district engineermay require compensatory mitigation, such as stream restoration, to ensure that the activity results in minimal

adverse effects on the aquatic environment.(e) Compensatory mitigation will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by the acreage limits of

the NWPs. For example, if an NrwP has an acreage limit of 1/2 acre, it cannot be used to authorize any projectresulting in the loss of greater than 1/2 acre of waters of the United States, even if compensatory mitigation isprovided that replaces or restores some of the lost waters. However, compensatory mitigation can and shouldbe used, as necessary, to ensure that a project already meeting the established acreage limits also satisfies theminimal impact requirement associated with the NWPs.(f) Compensatory mitigation plans for projects in or near streams or other open waters will normally include arequirement for the establishment, maintenance, and legal protection (e.g., conservation easements) of riparianareas next to open waters. In some cases, riparian areas may be the only compensatory mitigation required.Riparian areas should consist of native species. The width of the required riparian area will addressdocumented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns. Normally, the riparian area will be 25 to 50 feetwide on each side of the stream, but the district engineer may require slightly wider riparian areas to addressdocumented water quality or habitat loss concerns. Where both wetlands and open waters exist on the projectsite, the district engineer will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation (e.g., riparian areas and/orwetlands compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic environment on a watershed basis. In caseswhere riparian areas are determined to be the most appropriate form of compensatory mitigation, the districtengineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory mitigation for wetland losses.(g) Penrnittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in-lieu fee arrangements or separate activity-specificcompensatory mitigation. In all cases, the mitigation provisions will specify the party responsible foraccomplishing and/or complying with the mitigation plan.(h) Where certain functions and services of waters of the United States are permanently adversely affected,#ch as the conversion of a forested or scrub-shrub wetland to a herbaceous wetland in a permanently

aintained utility line right-of-way, mitigation may be required to reduce the adverse effects of the project tothe minimal level.

'I

21. Water Quality. In certain states and tribal lands an individual 401 Water Quality Certification must beobtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(c)). The district engineer may require additional water qualimanagement measures to ensure that the authorized activity does not result in more than minimal degradatof water quality.

22 Coastal Zone Management. In coastal states where an NWP has not previously received a state coastalzone management consistency concurrence, an individual state coastal zone management consistencyconcurrence must be obtained, or a presumption of concurrence must occur (see 33 CFR 330.4(d)). Thedistrict engineer or a State may require additional measures to ensure that the authorized activity is consistentwith State coastal zone management requirements.

23. Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions thatmay have been added by the Division Engineer (see 33 CFR 33 0.4(e)) and with any case specific conditionsadded by the Corps or by the state, Indian Tribe, or U.S. EPA in its section 401 Water Quality Certification, orby the state in its Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination.

24. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete projectis prohibited, except when the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by the NWPs does notexceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the highest specified acreage limit. For example, if a road crossingover tidal waters is constructed under NWP 14, with associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13, themaximum acreage loss of waters of the United States for the total project cannot exceed 1/3-acre.

25. Transfer of Nationwide Permit Verifications. If the permittee sells the property associated with anationwide permit verification, the permittee may transfer the nationwide permit verification to the new ownerby submitting a letter to the appropriate Corps district office to validate the transfer. A copy of the nationwicipermit verification must be attached to the letter, and the letter must contain the following statementsignature:

"When the structures or work authorized by this nationwide permit are still in existence at the time theproperty is transferred, the terms and conditions of this nationwide permit, including any specialconditions, will continue to be binding on the new owner(s) of the property. To validate the transfer ofthis nationwide permit and the associated liabilities associated with compliance with its terms andconditions, have the transferee sign and date below."

(Transferee)

(Date)

26. Compliance Certification. Each permittee who received an NWP verification from the Corps mustsubmit a signed certification regarding the completed work and any required mitigation. The certification mustbe forwarded by the Corps with the NTWP verification letter and will include:(a) A statement that the authorized work was done in accordance with the NWP authorization, including anygeneral or specific conditions;(b) A statement that any required mitigation was completed in accordance with the permit conditions; and(c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the work and mitigation. Ak

27. Pre-Construction Notification. (a) Timin . Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospectivepermittee-must notify the district engineer by submitting a pre-construction notification (PCN) as early aspossible. The district engineer must determine if the PCN is complete within 30 calendar days of the date ofreceipt and, as a general rule, will request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete onlyonce. However, if the prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information, then the districtengineer will notify the prospective permittee that the PCN is still incomplete and the PCN review processwill not commence until all of the requested infom-ation has been received by the district engineer. Theprospective permittee shall not begin the activity:(1) Until notified in writing by the district engineer that the activity may proceed under the NWP with anyspecial conditions imposed by the district or division engineer; or(2) If 45 calendar days have passed from the district engineer's receipt of the complete PCN and theprospective pernmittee has not received written notice from the district or division engineer. However, if thepennittee was required to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 17 that listed species or criticalhabitat might affected or in the vicinity of the project, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 18that the activity may have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the permittee cannot begin theactivity until receiving written notification from the Corps that is "no effect" on listed species or "no potentialto cause effects" on historic properties, or that any consultation required under Section 7 of the EndangeredSpecies Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(f)) and/or Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation (see 33 CFR330.4(g)) is completed. Also, work cannot begin under NWPs 21, 49, or 50 until the permittee has received.written approval from the Corps. If the proposed activity requires a written waiver to exceed specified limitsof an NWP, the permittee cannot begin the activity until the district engineer issues the waiver. If the districtor division engineer notifies the permittee in writing that an individual permit is required within 45 calendardays of receipt of a complete PCN, the permittee cannot begin the activity until an individual permnt has beenobtained. Subsequently, the permittee's right to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or

*revoked only in accordance with the procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2).(b) Contents of Pre-Construction Notification: The PCN must be in writing and include the followinginformation:(1) Name, address and telephone numbers of the prospective permittee;(2) Location of the proposed project;(3) A description of the proposed project; the project's purpose; direct and indirect adverse environmentaleffects the project would cause; any other NOAWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used orintended to be used to authorize any part of the proposed project or any related activity. The descriptionshould be sufficiently detailed to allow the district engineer to determine that the adverse effects of the projectwill be minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation. Sketches should be provided whennecessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the NWP. (Sketches usually clarify the projectand when provided result in a quicker decision.);(4) The PCN must include a delineation of special aquatic sites and other waters of the United States on theproject site. Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by theCorps. The pernaittee may ask the Corps to delineate the special aquatic sites and other waters of the UnitedStates, but there may be a delay if the Corps does the delineation, especially if the project site is large orcontains many waters of the United States. Furthermore, the 45 day period will not start until the delineationhas been submitted to or completed by the Corps, where appropriate;(5) If the proposed activity will result in the loss of greater than 1/10 acre of wetlands and a PCN is required,the prospective pernittee must submit a statement describing how the mitigation requirement will be satisfied.As an alternative, the prospective pennittee may submit a conceptual or detailed mitigation plan.(6) If any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or if

*he project is located in designated critical habitat, for non-Federal applicants the PCN must include thename(s) of those endangered or threatened species that might be affected by the proposed work or utilize the

0

designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work. Federal applicants must providedocumentation demonstrating compliance with the Endangered Species Act; and(7) For an activity that may affect a historic property listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, orpotentially eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic, Places, for non-Federal applicants the PCNmust state which historic property may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicathe location of the historic property. Federal applicants must provide documentation demonstraWtcompliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.(c) Form of Pre-Construction Notification: The standard individual permit application form (Form ENG 4345)may be used, but the completed application form must clearly indicate that it is a PCN and must include all ofthe information required in paragraphs (b)(1) through (7) of this general condition. A letter containing therequired information may also be used.(d) Agency Coordination:(1) The district engineer will consider any comments from Federal and state agencies concerning the proposedactivity's compliance with the terms and conditions of the NWPs and the need for mitigation to reduce theproject's adverse environmental effects to a minimal level.(2) For all NWP 48 activities requiring pre-construction notification and for other NWP activities requiringpre-construction notification to the district engineer that result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters ofthe United States, the district engineer will immediately provide (e.g., via facsimile transmission, overnightmail, or other expeditious manner) a copy of the PCN to the appropriate Federal or state offices (U.S. FWS,state natural resource or water quality agency, EPA, State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) or TribalHistoric Preservation Office (THPO), and, if appropriate, the NMFS). With the exception of NWP 37, theseagencies will then have 10 calendar days from the date the material is transmitted to telephone or fax thedistrict engineer notice that they intend to provide substantive, site-specific comments. If so contacted by anagency, the district engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar days before making a decision on the pre-construction notification. The district engineer will fully consider agency comments received within thespecified time frame, but will provide no response to the resource agency, except as provided below. Thedistrict engineer will indicate in the administrative record associated with each pre-construction notificatthat the resource agencies' concerns were considered. For NWIP 37, the emergency watershed protectionrehabilitation activity may proceed immediately in cases where there is an unacceptable hazard to life or asignificant loss of property or economic hardship will occur. The district engineer will consider any commentsreceived to decide whether the NWP 37 authorization should be modified, suspended, or revoked inaccordance with the procedures at 33 CFR 330.5.(3) In cases of where the prospective permittee is not a Federal agency, the district engineer will provide aresponse to NMFS within 30 calendar days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservationrecommendations, as required by Section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation andManagement Act.(4) Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps multiple copies of pre-construction notifications toexpedite agency coordination.(5) For NWP 48 activities that require reporting, the district engineer will provide a copy of each report within10 calendar days of receipt to the appropriate regional office of the NMFS.(e) District Engineer's Decision: In reviewing the PCN for the proposed activity, the district engineer willdetermine whether the activity authorized by the NWP will result in more than minimal individual orcumulative adverse environmental effects or may be contrary to the public interest. If the proposed activityrequires a PCN and will result in a loss of greater than 1/10 acre of wetlands, the prospective permittee shouldsubmit a mitigation proposal with the PCN. Applicants may also propose compensatory mitigation for projectswith smaller impacts. The district engineer will consider any proposed compensatory mitigation the applicanthas included in the proposal in determining Whether the net adverse environmental effects to the aquaticenvironmnent of the proposed work are minimal. The compensatory mitigation proposal may be eitherconceptual or detailed. If the district engineer determines that the activity complies with the terms nconditions of the NWP and that the adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal, after consider'mitigation, the district engineer will notify the permittee and include any conditions the district engineer

7

deems necessary. The district engineer must approve any compensatory mitigation proposal before the'permittee commences work. If the prospective pernittee elects to submit a compensatory mitigation plan withthe PCN, the district engineer will expeditiously review the proposed compensatory mitigation plan. Thedistrict engineer must review the plan within 45 calendar days of receiving a complete PCN and determinewhether the proposed mitigation would ensure no more than minimal adverse effects on the aquaticenvironment. If the net adverse effects of the project on the aquatic environment (after consideration of thecompensatory mitigation proposal) are determined by the district engineer to be minimal, the district engineerwill provide a timely written response to the applicant. The response will state that the project can proceedunder the terms and conditions of the N-WP.If the district engineer determines that the adverse effects of the proposed work are more than minimal, thenthe district engineer will notify the applicant either: (I) That the project does not qualify for authorizationunder the NWP and instruct the applicant on the procedures to seek authorization under an individual permit;(2) that the project is authorized under the NWP subject to the applicant's submission of a mitigation plan thatwould reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level; or (3) that the project isauthorized under the NWP with specific modifications or conditions. Where the district engineer determinesthat mitigation is required to ensure no more than minimal adverse effects occur to the aquatic environment,the activity will be authorized within the 45-day PCN period. The authorization will include the necessaryconceptual or specific mitigation or a requirement that the applicant submit a mitigation plan that wouldreduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment .to the minimal .level. When mitigation is required, nowork in waters of the United States may occur until the district engineer has approved a specific mitigationplan.

28. Single and Complete Project. The activity must be a single and complete project. The same NWP cannotbe used more than once for the same single and complete proj ect.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of theUnited States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected partywho requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option torequest and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested thispreliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD inthis instance and at this time.

2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, ora Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring"pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reportingNWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested anapproved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of thefollowing: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorizationbased on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination ofjurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approvedJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, andthat basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in lesscompensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) thatthe applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than acceptingthe terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to complywith all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigationrequirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertakingany activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requestingan approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of thepreliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as ispracticable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a profferedindividual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corpspermit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that allwetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activityare jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge tosuch jurisdiction. in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcementaction, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whetherthe applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JDwill be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a profferedindividual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individualpermit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessaryto make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, orto provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps willprovide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on thesubject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could beaffected by-the proposed activity, based on the following information:

In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, ora Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring"pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reportingNWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested anapproved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of thefollowing: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorizationbased on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination ofjurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approvedJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, andthat basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in lesscompensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) thatthe applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than acceptingthe terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to complywith all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigationrequirements the. Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertakingany activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requestingan approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of thepreliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is.practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a profferedindividual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corpspermit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that allwetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activityare jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge tosuch jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcementaction, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whetherthe applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JDwill be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a profferedindividual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individualpermit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessaryto make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or

2

to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps willprovide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on thesubject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could beaffected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:SUPPORTING DATA.

PSEG ARTIFICIAL, ISLAND

DIVERSION PERMIT 2216P RENEWAL

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

1. Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations are located on the East bank of the DelawareRiver in Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey. The site is owned,including mineral rights, by PSEG Nuclear LLC. The Salem Generating Station consists oftwo pressurized water nuclear reactors with an electrical capacity of approximately 1200megawatts each. The Hope Creek Generating Station consists of one boiling water reactorwith an electrical capacity of approximately 1260 megawatts.

2. This permit renewal request is a renewal of an original allocation granted by the WaterPolicy and Supply Council under Permit Nos. P-721, P-743, P-969, P-998, and P-1178.Permit No. 2059P for Hope Creek was deleted on July 12, 1990, and 2216P was issued as aconsolidation of Hope Creek and Salem Water Allocation Permits.

3. Permit 2216P currently allocates an amount not to exceed 43.2 million gallons during anymonth, at a maximum rate of 2900 gallons permit minute. The total diversion from allsources is allocated at 300 million gallons per year.

4. It is requested that PSEGs monthly allocation be renewed at the current rate of 43.2 milliongallons per month

5. Diversion is for the purpose of supplying industrial process water, intermittent industrialcooling, and potable purposes as specified in the permit application. Estimated groundwaterdiversion requirements for the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations are summarizedas follows:

a. Routine operations including recovery of steam generator blowdown forrecovery in the condensers for three units operating: 402 gpm (17.3 mgm)

b. Non-recovery of steam generator blowdown water at the Salem GeneratingStation during start up, shutdown or chemistry transients or due to changes inplant operations protocol: 502 gpm (21.7 mgm)

Total 732 gpm (39.0 mgm)

6. A nuclear power electrical generating plant utilizes ultrapure water for the plant processes.Ultrapure water is well water purified by either demineralization or reverse osmosis. Theseprocesses remove most impurities from the well water to achieve, theoretically, absolutelypure water.

7. There are six existing production wells in operation serving Salem and Hope CreekGenerating Stations. Well No. 1 was sealed on November 4, 1998 (well abandonment reportand NJDEP submittal is enclosed for reference). Well Nos. PW-2 and PW-3 areapproximately 300 feet deep in the Mt. Laurel/Wenonah formation. Well Nos. PW-5, HC-1, and HC-2 are approximately 820 feet deep in the Upper Raritan formation. Well No.6 isscreened from 1,115 to 1,135 feet in the Middle Raritan formation.

8. There are four existing monitoring wells. Observation Well G is located in the Mt.Laurel/Wenonah formation. Observation Wells I and J and located in the Upper Raritanformation. Observation Well 6 is located in the Middle Raritan formation.

9. The monthly diversion from each well is recorded and submitted to the NJDEP on thequarterly report form (DWR-017A), or electronically through the NJDEP website. Thereview of monthly diversion by well for the period of the current permit shows no

increasing trend in water use. The monthly diversion is reported to the NJDEP quarterly.Water use on these quarterly reports is summarized below:

Year Annual Use Maximum Average Existing

2007 190.4 25.1 16.3 43.2

2008 209.1 22.5 18.7 43.2

10. Chloride analyses are performed on all production and monitoring wells, except forObservation Well 6 and Production Well 3. Observation Well 6 is adjacent to ProductionWell 6 and at the same depth, therefore periodic analysis for chlorides is not required.Production Well 3 is a standby well and chloride analyses are not required since the primarypurpose of operating Production Well 3 only to collect chloride analysis samples. PSEGrecommends chloride analysis for Production Wells 2 not be included in the renewed permitfor the same reason.

11. All wells are constructed so that static water level (depth to water) can be determined at anytime. Static water levels and total head measurements are recorded monthly and reported tothe NJDEP quarterly.

12. Each well is equipped with a tag identifying the respective well permit number. Alldiversion sources are metered with an interchangeable totalizing flow meter, which iscalibrated every five years. Calibration Certifications are attached for Production Wells 2,6, HC 1, and HC 2. Production Well 3 pump was removed in 2005 and has not beenreplaced, therefore there is no pumping capability at this time for Production Well 3 and noflow meter is in use. The totalizing flow meter for well PW-5 was replaced with a factorycalibrated flow meter and we are requesting a copy of the calibration certification from thevendor, upon receipt the calibration certification will be transmitted under separate cover.PSEG requests the requirement for flow meter calibration for Production Wells 2 and 3 notbe required in the renewed permit. These production wells are for standby use only, and topump significant quantities of water from these wells for the purpose of calibrating the flowmeter is no appropriate. In the alternative, PSEG requests calibration of these flow metersbe changed to every 10 years..

13. The water discharges into the Delaware River. Sanitary wastewater, industrial cooling, andindustrial process wastewater are discharged under NJPDES Permits Nos. NJ0005622 and

NJ002541 1. These treatment works have adequate capacity and are not under enforcementaction or other restrictions by the NJDEP.

14. There are no known sanitary landfills or other sources of groundwater pollution affecting

these aquifers within a 5-mile radius.

15. The Water Conservation Plan and Drought Emergency Plan enclosed was prepared andsubmitted in January 2008 in accordance with the biennial requirements in the currentpermit. The 2010 biennial update will be submitted under separate cover in January 2010.

D. WATER CONSERVATION PRACTICES

1. Do you currently use any (water conservation) devices? YES

Low flow nozzles have been installed in the facility's lavatories. This system saves an estimated 0.0005mgd. It should be noted that potable/sanitary water use, accounts for only 3.3 percent of the totalgroundwater use at this facility.

"Gator bags" are used for watering trees at PSEG Nuclear LLC. The 20-50 gallon bags slowly releasewater over a period of time, slowly soaking the roots of the tree. The use of the bags limit water loss causedby evaporation and runoff.

2. Do you currentlyreuse or recycle water? YES

PSEG Nuclear LLC has investigated the possibility of recycling water or using recycled water at thisfacility. Water recycling has been instituted in several areas such as:

1. The low conductivity backwash water from Unit One and Unit Two Condensate Polishing System isrecycled back to the Raw Water Basin for use in the Demineralizer Water Plant. Each polisher tank

holds 35,000 gallons. Total recycled water from both units saves an estimated 5.2 million gallons peryear.

2. Radioactive Waste Process Water is purified and returned to the Condensate Storage Tank. This savesan estimated 9 million gallons per year.

3. Steam generator blowdown is recycled back to the condenser under normal plant operation. Thisresults in the reuse of approximately 21.7 mgm of water.

3. Are work practices scheduled to minimize water use? YES

PSEG Nuclear LLC continually evaluates facility water use and strives to maximize reuse. Driving this isthe need to retain heat within the steam cycle. Each BTU lost through either feedwater cooling or waterlosses represents fuel used to create steam and electricity. Additionally, unnecessary replacement of theultrapure water used in the steam cycle represents wasted resources with a replacement value ofapproximately $20,000 per million gallons. This cost is expended in demineralization treatment before useand wastewater treatment prior to discharge.

Any water losses due to leaks are promptly addressed as a maintenance issue and prioritized according toprocedure.

Steam relief to the atmosphere has been Tinimized during shut-down activities. This allows for recovery ofsteam back to the condenser for purification in the Condensate Polishing System and subsequent reuse asfeedwater to the steam generators.

No additional system design modifications or water conservation modifications are currently planned.

p. 5 of 6

JANh 2 8 QG

E. WORKER EDUCATION / AWARENESS

Annual worker requalification includes water conservation awareness training and suggested common waterconservation methods as a distinct training element. Workers must achieve an 80% or better to retain their accessbadge for site work.

Drought Emergency Water Supply Plan

The water used at this facility is diverted from production wells located on-site. Several shallow wells, designatedas emergency wells, may be used to relieve user demands on the deeper aquifers should the need occur.

In the event a drought emergency is declared by the State of New Jersey, PSEG Nuclear LLC would comply withany requirements deemed necessary, up to but not including suspending electric generating operations. Due to thecritical nature of the electric generation business, it is the position of PSEG Nuclear LLC that the termination ofelectric generation would have a generally deleterious effect on the community at large by potentially depriving areasof adequate electric power. This would drive up costs through the use of more expensive electric alternatives and, inthe short term, increase ground water demand as the units are cooled to satisfy safe shut down requirements at thethree affected nuclear units.

Typical actions, which would be considered for curtailment, are as follows:

" Elimination of watering of the lawns and shrubbery

" Reduction of water use for washing vehicles, pressure washing and other non-essential activities

* Placing other well pumps in service to divert water first from a different aquifer than the one in a droughtsituation

" Use of bottled water for drinking purposes

Re: Final Surface Water Administrative Mod Permit Action - Clarificationof Stormwate" RequirementsCategory- B-Industrial Wastewater, NJPDES Permit No. NJ0025411Hope Creek Generating Station, Lower Alloways Creek Twp., Salem County

Dear Permittee:

The Department issued your final New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) permitrenewal on December 31, 2002. As you know, a clarification was issued on February 24, 2003 to change theexpiration date from February 31, 2008 to February 29, 2008. It has come to our attention that"certain otherpermit conditions need clarification. Therefore, this administrative modification serves to. chýnge thefollowing permit conditions:

- Delete the stormwater monitoring requirements indicated on page 1 of 16 of Part III. Although theserequirements were included in the draft permit issued on November 7, 2002, it was clearly theDepartment's intent to delete these requirements in any final permit action and the inclusion of theserequirements was dearly an error. This is discussed on page 8 of the Response to Comments documentincluded in the December 31, 2002 final permit action.

- Delete Attachment 1. Specific stormwater requirements are included in Part IV where the language inPart IV is either identical to Attachment 1 or, in instances where the language is slightly reworded, theintent is the same. It is redundant to include both the stormwater conditions of Part IV and Attachment1 and serves to complicate the permit. As a result, Attachment 1 has been deleted.

Please replace Part III, page 1 of 16 and Attachment 1 with the enclosed "placeholder" sheets. Questions orcomments regarding the final action should be addressed to Susan Rosenwinkel at (609) 292-4860.

-RESPONSE TO COMMENTS

Comments were received on the draft NJPDES Permit Renewal No. NJ0025411 issued on November 7,2002. The thirty (30) day public comment period began on November 19, 2002, when the Public Noticewas published in the Today's Sunbeam. It was also published in the DEP Bulletin on November 13,2002. It ended on December .19,2002. The following person[s] commented during the public commentperiod:

1. Gabor Salamon, Manager-Nuclear Safety and Licensing, PSE Nuclear LLC in a letter datedDecember 24, 2002.

A summary of the timely and significant comments received, the New Jersey Department. ofEnvironmental Protection's (Department) responses to these comments, and an explanation of anychanges from the draft action have been included below:

Comments on Chemical-Specific Conditions forOutfalls DSNs 461A, 461C, and 462B

Fact Sheet, Section 5, paze 5 of 28 - Station Outfalls and Discharge Components

Comment 1: The draft permit states that "[While] the permittee's stormwater discharges are currentlyregulated under Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan requirements, the Department has determined itappropriate to regulate the stormwater discharges under the General Stormwater Permit NJ00883 15which will be issued upon finalization of this draft renewal permit.". PSEG Nuclear LLC ("hereafterPSEG") believes it is not appropriate to regulate the stormwater discharges under the General.Stormwater Permit concurrent with the stormwater requirements contained in this individual NJPDESpermit. The permit application requested continued regulation under the Stormwater PollutionPrevention Plan requirements and those requirements appear to be continued, though modified, in theDraft permit. PSEG requests the sentence quoted above be deleted.

Response 1: The Department agrees that the inclusion of this sentence was made in error. The permitteeis correct in that this subject permit contains individual stormwater requirements as noted throughout therest of the permit.. This clarification is hereby noted for the Administrative Record.

Fact Sheet, Section 5, page 7 of 28 - Yard Drains (DSN's 463A, 464A, 465A)

Comment 2: The Department has renamed outfall DSN 462A as outfall DSN 465 because the NJEMSdatabase will not accept both DSN 462A and DSN 462B. DSN 462B has been retained because it has aregulatory history where limits and monitoring conditions have been set and data have been collected.PSEG reminds the Department that DSN 462A also has a regulatory history where limits and monitoringconditions were set and data have been collected for the period October 1985 through March 1997.

Response 2: The Department agrees that DSN 462A has a regulatory history although the Departmentmaintains that it is appropriate to rename DSN 462A as outfall DSN 465 in this subject permit action due

Response to CommentsPage 2 of 8Permit No. NJ002541 1

to the reason noted above. Therefore, no changes to the final 5ermit have been made as a result of thiscomment, although the Department notes this information for the Administrative Record.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.B, page 10 of 28 - DSN 461A

Comment 3: The Department has changed the frequency for monitoring Chlorine Produced Oxidants(CPO) from three times per week to continuous monitoring. The data collected during the three times perweek monitoring conducted by PSEG during the term of the existing permit demonstrates that CPO isnot normally present in the discharge as indicated in the Permit Summary Table at page 18 of 28. PSEGbelieves continuous monitoring is not warranted and periodic grab sampling is more appropriate.

PSEG has responsibly performed an evaluation to determine the CPO concentration when there was areason to believe unmonitored CPO may have been discharged. In June 2000, a discharge occurred thatcontained sodium hypochlorite at a time that no effluent monitoring was in progress. PSGEG notifiedthe Department, conducted an internal investigation, and performed calculations to determine theconcentration of CPO in the effluent. CPO was determined to be within the limitations of the NJPDESPermit. Although a continuous monitoring device would have precluded the need for PSEG to calculatethe effluent CPO concentrations, a continuous monitoring device would not have changed the effluentconcentration.

Continuous chlorine analyzers were installed to monitor the cooling tower blowdown (DSN 461A) until1997, when the Department modified the requirement for CPO monitoring to three times per week. Theinherent difficulty of maintaining analyzer operations in this region of the Estuary was demonstratedduring this period of continuous monitoring. The two primary methods for continuous chlorine analysisare amerometric and specific-ion electrode. The high suspended solids and silt concentrations present in ,the Estuary tend to clog instrument flow pats and specific ion electrode membranes. The abrasiveness of Wthe silt also causes excessive wear on moving components such as pumps and valves. These factors limitthe effectiveness of continuous chlorine analyzers because of the extensive routine and correctivemaintenance.

PSEG requests the continuous monitoring requirement be deleted. If the three times per week currentsampling program is inadequate, PSEG recommends modifying the sample frequency to daily (sevendays per week).

Response 3: The Department maintains that a continuous sampling frequency is appropriate for DSN461A. This discharge is continuously chlorinated and is of a significant volume. In addition,.theDepartment notes that there was a unanticipated discharge of chlorine produced oxidants in June 2000.Although the Department agrees that the installation of continuous chlorine monitors may not haveprevented this discharge, the presence of continuous chlorine monitors could have better evaluated theamount of chlorine produced oxidants in the discharge in comparison to an evaluation by calculations.

No changes.to the permit have been made as a result of this comment.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.B, page 11 of 28 - DSN 461A

Comment 4: The last paragraph indicates that effluent limitations for oil .and grease have been includedat DSN 461A. For clarification, the parameter limited at DSN 461C equivalent to oil and grease is totalpetroleum hydrocarbons.


Response 4: The permittee is correct in noting that total petroleum hydrocarbons is limited at DSN461 C; therefore, this sentence on page 11 erroneously identifies oil and grease as opposed to totalpetroleum hydrocarbons. The Department has correctly notedthat total petroleum hydrocarbons islimited at DSN 461C as indicated on page 5 of Part III as well as on pages 12 and 19 of the Fact Sheet.The Department hereby notes this clarification pertaining to page 11 for the Administrative Record.Because the correct parameter is included on page 5 of Part III, no changes to the final permit arenecessary as a result of this comment.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.b.. page 13 of 28 - DSN 462B

Comment 5: The Department has incorporated a monthly average concentration limit for BOD5 of 30mg/L and a weekly limit of 45 mg/L as DSN 462B. PSEG believes these new limitations are notappropriate for this discharge. The reference to N.J.A.C. 7: 14A-12.2(b) is not appropriate since DSN462B discharges to DSN 461A and, therefore, DSN 462B is not a "directdischarge". N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2 is only applicable to a direct discharge. Upon completion of the rerouting of the DSN 462Bdischarge to DSN 461 A, this is an internal monitoring point and not a direct discharge (1997 Permit FactSheet, page 60 of 86).

The Department indicates these limitations are particularly appropriate where the flow volumes fluctuateover time. The effluent flow from DSN 462B for January 2001 through February 2002 was an averageof 0.01 MGD and a maximum of 0.03 MGD, and for the period of April 1997 through March 2001 theeffluent flow was an average of 0.02 MGD and a maximum of 0.07 MGD (Permit Summary Table, page20 of 28). The maximum effluent flow during that five year period was only 25% of the design flow ofthe sewage treatment plant (0.28MGD) and the range of values does not indicate a highly variable flowthat would warrant imposition of additional limitations. The monthly minimum Percent Removal ofBOD 5 limitation of 87.5% (more stringent than N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2(b) and the monthly average loadinglimitation for BOD 5 of 8 kg/day (based on the DRBC allocation) have been adequate since the 1985NJPDES Permit and new limitations are not warranted at this time.

Response 5: The Department has determined that the intent of N.J.A.C. 7:14A- 12.2(b) is that thelimitations contained in this regulation pertain to direct discharges to surface water as opposed todischarges to a municipal utilities authority which then discharge to surface waters. Therefore, theDepartment does not agree that N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2(b) should be interpreted to mean that theselimitations are not appropriate for this internal monitoring point. These secondary treatment limitationsset the standard for the level of treatment appropriate for sanitary discharges and the Departmentmaintains that they are appropriate for DSN 461 C since it is a sanitary discharge.

The Department also maintains that concentration limits are particularly appropriate for this dischargegiven the variable flow rates of influent sanitary wastewater. It is the Department's understanding thatthe amount of personnel present at the plant can widely fluctuate during refueling outages given the factthat the facility makes use of this time to maintain Station operations which result in the presence ofadditional Station personnel. Therefore, the Department has determined that both concentration andmass limitations are appropriate for this discharge.

The Department recognizes that the permittee typically discharges well below the design flow rate;however, N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2 does not make exception for this circumstance. The Department alsorecognizes that the mass limit of 8 kg/day for BOD5 may be more stringent than the concentration limitsat N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2 given certain flow circumstances; however, the Department has determined thatit is required to apply these concentration limits.


No changes to the permit have been made as a result of this comment.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.b, page 13 of 28 - DSN 462B

Comment 6: The Fact Sheet states that there is a weekly average TSS limitations of 45 mg/L at DSN462B in the current permit and thus this limitation was retained. The weekly average TSS limitation wasdeleted from DSN 462B upon rerouting DSN 462B to discharge to DSN 461A (see 1997 NJPDESPermit, Part III-B/C, Section 1.C.2). The Fact sheet for the 1997 NJPDES Permit states that "the seven-day average limitation of 45 mg/L will be deleted since this will be an internal monitoring point andthere will not be a direct discharge". Since the limitation is not retained from the current Permit andDSN 462B is not a direct discharge, PSEG requests the weekly average limitation for TSS be deleted.

Response 6: The Department recognizes that it has incorrectly stated that the weekly average limitationfor TSS has been retained from the existing permit. Nonetheless, based on the rationale indicated inResponse 5 above, the Department maintains that inclusion of this limit is appropriate based on.thesecondary treatment standards.

No changes to the permit have been made as a result of this comment.

Fact Sheet, Section 8.K, page 16 of 28 - DSN 461A

Comment 7: Consistent with the comments above regarding continuous CPO monitoring, if theDepartment determines that continuous CPO monitoring is not required, the schedule of compliancewould not be required.

Response 7: Please refer to Response 3.

Fact Sheet, Section 13, page 20 of 28

Comment 8: The permit summary table for DSN 462B indicates that there is a 45 mg/L TSS weeklyaverage limitation. As discussed above, the current permit does not contain a weekly average limitationof reporting requirement for TSS.

Response 8: The Department agrees that the 45 mg/L TSS weekly average limitation was deleted in theFebruary 14, 1997 NJPDES Permit as noted in Section .1.C.2, Part III-B/C. Nonetheless, the Departmenthas determined it appropriate to include this limitation at this time for the reasons discussed in Response6.

Permit, Part III, Section A, Table IH-B-I, page 2 of 16

Comment 9: As discussed above, PSEG believes continuous monitoring is not warranted and periodicgrab sampling is more appropriate. The continuous monitoring requirement identified as "final" shouldbe deleted and the three times per week grab sample identified as "initial" should be retained for the termof the Permit.


Permit, Part m, Section A, Table m-C-2, pae 6 of 16

• Response to CommentsPage 5 of 8Permit No. NJ0025411

Comment 10: The Quantification Limit of 20 micrograms per liter for Ammonia Nitrogen (as N) is notachievable using approved analytical methodologies by the New Jersey Certified Laboratories contacted.The Department has recognized the challenge of meeting the Recommended Quantitation Levels(hereafter "RQLs") at the Fact Sheet, Section 8.E., page 14 of 28 in stating that "the quantitation levelslisted therein can be reliably and consistently achieved by most state certified laboratories for most of thepollutants" (emphasis added). Ammonia Nitrogen appears to be one of the exceptions. The DelawareEstuary in the vicinity of the Station has a background ammonia nitrogen concentration of approximatelyfive to ten times the proposed RQL. PSEG recommends the RQL for Ammonia Nitrogen be changed to100 micrograms per liter. Additionally, PSEG requests clarification that the term RecommendedQuantitation Level as used in this section has the same meaning as the term Quantification Limit as usedin Part III of the Permit, or the Department provide a description of the difference and how these wouldbe applied.

Response 10: The Department agrees that inclusion of the RQL of 20 ug/L was made in error in thissection which pertains to the Wastewater Characterization Requirements for DSN 461C. TheDepartment has deleted the RQL for DSN 461C in this final permit action and has not specified an RQLfor ammonia.

For purposes of clarification, the term "quantification.limit", as used on page 14 of 28 of the Fact Sheet,is used interchangeably with the term "recommended. quantitation level" as used on page 6 of 16 of Pai-tIII as well as in other areas of the permit.

Permit, Part III, Section A, Table IMI-D-1, page 7 of 16

Comment 11: As discussed above (see comments regarding Fact Sheet, Section 8.B., page 13 of 29),PSEG believes imposition of these new BOD 5 limitations are not appropriate for this discharge.


Permit, Part m, Section A, Table IIl-D-1, page 8 of 16

Comment 12: As discussed above (see comments regarding Fact Sheet, Section-8.b., page 13 of 28),PSEG believes imposition of this new TSS limitation is not appropriate for this discharge.


Permit, Part IV, Section E.l.e, page 3 of 12

Comment 13: PSEG believes the parenthetical limitation following the authorization to utilize sodiumhypochlorite is inappropriate. The parenthetical limits sodium hypochlorite usage by stating "althoughnot in excess of two hours per day". Sodium hypochlorite is normally continuously added to thesystems. PSEG is limited to discharging chlorine produced oxidants to two hours per day from theaddition of sodium hypochlorite and meets this requirement by dechlorinating the effluent of the coolingtower blowdown using ammonium bisulfite before discharge. This limitation is contained in Part IV,Section G. 1. PSEG request deletion of the parenthetical following the words "sodium hypochlorite".

Response 13: The Department has reviewed the condition in Section E. 1.e. and agrees that theparenthetical reference to "although not in excess of two hours per day" is unnecessary given the


referenced in this same condition to item G. 1. This parenthetical phrase has been deleted in the finalpermit action. This change affects item E.i.e, page 3 of 12 in Part IV.

Clarification to Final Permit Initiated by the Department

Item 9.b., Part LV

Please note that as per a request from the Delaware River Basin Commission, the Department hasslightly modified the language in item 9.b. of Part IV in this final permit action where this languagepertains to the applicable DRBC document.

Conditions Related to Part IV, Section Stormwater

Permit effluent limitations, non-numeric effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, BestManagement Practices (BMPs) and other conditions are authorized by the Federal Water PollutionControl Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et secq.), and the New Jersey State Water Pollution Control Act (N.J.S.A.58:10A-1 et s.). These statutes are implemented by the National Pollutant Discharge EliminationSystem (NJPDES) (40 CFR. 122) and the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES)(N.J.A.C. 7:14A) permit program.

Concerning the permit renewal, the NJDEP is authorized under the federal regulations (40 CFR 122.4)and under NJPDES rules (N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.2(b)) to impose BMPs to control and abate the discharge ofpollutants. The NIDEP may impose BMPs when BMPs are reasonably necessary to achieve effluentlimitations and standards to carry out the purposes and intent of the State and Federal Acts.Additionally, the NJDEP believes that it is not feasible at this time to establish water quality basedeffluent limits (WQBEL) for this stormwater discharge. The proposed limitations incorporated in theSPPP are consistent with the NJDEP's and USEPA's Stormwater permitting philosophy of reducing theamount of pollution created and to prevent pollution from occurring in the first place (see 24 N.J.R2352).

The primary method used in NJPDES Stormwater Permits, since the formation of the Stormwater PermitProgram, has been the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Since the inception of NJDEP'sStormwater Permit Program the approach to the abatement of pollutants in stormwater has focused onpollution prevention rather than end of pipe treatment. The SPPP requirements and monitoringrequirements operate as limitations and control on stormwater effluent discharges to prevent stormwatercontamination and are intended to achieve Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT)and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT). The SPPP focuses on several areas of.control, such as inventory, mapping, inspections, schedules and very importantly Best ManagementPractices (BMPs).

The BMPs incorporated in any facility's SPPP are the primary mechanism used in stormwatermanagement to eliminate the discharge of pollutants into the State's receiving waters. It has been theposition of the NJDEP that in the circumstance when the elimination of contact with source material isnot an economically viable option for a facility the NJDEP may require the reduction of the pollutantload using BMPs. This is done through an individual facility permit and would also include adetermination that the receiving water quality is not being adversely impacted. This difference betweenthe elimination of pollutants and the reduction of pollutants entering a facility's stormwater runoff is howthe NJDEP approaches permitting a facility.

Response to CommentsPage 7 of 8Permit No. NJ0025411

The State's Basic Industrial Stormwater Discharge General Permit ("the General Permit" NJ00883 15)regulates a facility towards achieving the goal of eliminating contact of source material with stormwaterrunoff, which has been informally referred to as the "no exposure" requirement. The belief being thatthe greatest environmental benefit would be derived from the complete elimination of exposure of sourcematerial. Therefore, the NJDEP Stormwater Permitting Program has structured permits, which areavailable to the regulated community, with an incentive to apply for the General Permit by havingreduced fees and administrative costs, and by eliminating requirements for monitoring/sampling. Thereason behind eliminating monitoring in the general permit goes to the premise that if you eliminate thesource you eliminate the need to monitor.

Those facilities for various economic reasons who can not comply with the "no exposure" performancestandard in the general permit must apply for an individual permit. Individual permits require samplingand monitoring. The main purpose for including sampling and monitoring requirements in an individualstormwater permit is to verify that BMPs are effective in controlling and abating pollutants in thefacility's stormwater runoff, and to evaluate whether the discharge is negatively impacting the receivingwater.

After review of the facility's SPPP and prior to drafting today's final permit NJDEP contacted thePermittee, PSEG Nuclear LLC ("PSEG"), regarding the option of applying for an authorization under theGeneral Permit. PSEG declined to apply for the General Permit Authorization and requested thatstormwater continue to be permitted under its individual permit. Based on PSEG's request NJDEPconcluded that the Hope Creek facility still has exposed source material that contacts its stormwaterrunoff and therefore must be regulated based on the policies outlined above. This would includesampling and monitoring of its stormwater discharge, which is why this was included in the proposedpermit.

PSEG, has commented that,

"The Department reviewed the stormwater study in the October 31, 1996 Draft NJPDES Permit FactSheet ("1996 Fact Sheet") and stated that the "stormwater study demonstrated that representativemonitoring of stormwater could not be achieved with the existing conveyance system elevations due totidal intrusion in the system by Delaware River water" (1996 Fact Sheet, Page 65 of 86). The Departmentfurther determined that modifications to the existing conveyance system elevations were not practical(1996 Fact Sheet, page 65 of 86)."

This statement made in the 1996 Fact Sheet was a summary of the conclusions made by PSEG in itsstormwater study dated July 13, 1990 and did not represent the opinion of the NJDEP. The opinionsexpressed by NJDEP regarding the stormwater study and the implementation of capital projects by PSEGactually began with the final paragraph of page 66 of 86 Pages and stated,

"As a result of the implementation of the capital projects and the BMP required under the ACO, theaverage TSS values reported on Hope Creek Generating Station's DMRs since 1992 have consistentlybeen lower than the values reported prior to the installation of the capital projects and the BMP. TheNJDEP's Bureau of Stormwater Permitting and the Bureau of Standard Permitting have inspected thesite and have determined that the continued use of BMPs instead of numeric limits is the mostappropriate means of regulating the discharge of pollutants from this site in stormwater runoff' (Page 67of 86 Pages)."

Response to CommentsPage 8 of 8Permit No. NJ002541I

It is the NJDEP's position that the DMR data was representative since the decision to remove thenumeric limitations was in part based on the evaluation of the performance of the BMPs using the DMRdata as stated in the aforementioned paragraph. As indicated by PSEG, the NJDEP did replace thenumeric effluent limitations and monitoring conditions in the existing permit for the stormwater outfallswith BMPs and Page 67 of 86 of the fact sheet stated this;

"The Department finds that the continuance of the numeric effluent limitations and monitoringconditions is unwarranted and infeasible based on the following: 1) the tidal intrusion of the DelawareRiver into the stormwater conveyance system reported in the stormwater study submitted by thepermittee in 1990; and 2) the material and substantial changes at the facility implemented between 1989and 1992 through its capital improvement projects and implementation of the BMPs such asminimization and elimination of contact of source materials with stormwater runoff.."

As PSEG noted in its comments, this paragraph does state and confirm PSEG's conclusion that thenumeric limitations are unwarranted and infeasible based in part on the tidal intrusion of the DelawareRiver in the stormwater conveyance system. However, it does not specifically identify representativ'esampling as the basis for it being unwarranted and infeasible. The statement does not go into detail as tohow the writer arrived at this decision. Notwithstanding, the NJDEP's position is that the samplescollected must have been representative if the numeric limitations were in part removed and replacedwith BMPs using DMR data. In retrospect the NJDEP believes that the statement should have beendocumented further. In addition, due to the capital project instituted at the facility, which resulted inchanges in the management of stormwater runoff, new representative sample locations and continuousmonitoring could have been included in the 1997 final permit, as per the January 11, 1990Administrative Consent Order (ACO) that states in paragraph 23:

"PSE&G shall develop and implement a Best Management Practices Plan ('BMPP") to control thedischarge of suspended solids in stormwater runoff from the site and a plan of study ("the -Study") todetermine the most feasible method by which representative monitoring of stormwater outfalls 462A,463A and 464 may be performed to account for all applicable sources of stormwater originating from thesite in accordance with the enforcement compliance schedule in paragraph twenty -five (25)."

Additionally, the Draft Fact Sheet noticed on November 19, 2002, did state that the stormwater drainagesystems may contain Delaware River water. In consideration of the above mentioned facts, and basedon the comments received by PSEG, NJDEP is renewing today's permit with the stormwaterrequirements contained in the 1997 final permit. The NJDEP will re-evaluate the information submittedby PSEG regarding the intrusion of water from the Delaware River and representative sampling of theconveyance system; and will inspect the site with PSEG to specifically identify new representativesample locations for the stormwater discharge from the areas of industrial activity. The permit will thenbe modified to include the appropriate sampling and monitoring requirements used for individual permitsto verify the performance of the BMPs based on the current NJDEP policies outlined-in the statementsabove.

Re: Final Surface Water Major Mod Permit Action - Clarification of BOD5 and TSSMinimum Percent Removal LimitsCategory: B -Industrial WastewaterNJPDES Permit No. NJ0025411Hope Creek Generating StationLower Alloways Creek, Salem County

Dear Mr. Salaman:

The Department issued your final New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) permitrenewal on December 31, 2002. It has come to our attention that the BOD3 and TSS minimum percentremoval limits for DSN 462B need clarification. Specifically, the fact sheet references that the limits for BOD5

and TSS percent removal are based on the existing permit issued on February 14, 1996 where that permit statesthe following:

Effluent limitations and conditions for Percent Removal of BOD5 are carried over from the existing permit in accordance wvithNJ.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a)(12) i and the DRBC Docket Decision D-8-70. The monthly minimum limitation of 87.5% has beenretained based on the DRBC Effluent Quality Requirements and DRBC Docket Decision D-87-70.

Similarly, the following is stated for TSS percent removal:

Effluent limitations and conditions for Percent Removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) are carried over from the existing permitin accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a)(12) i and the DRBC Docket Decision D-8-70. The monthly minimum limitation of85% has been imposed based on the DR.BC Effluent Quality Requirements.

However, your December 31, 2002 permit specifies that the "Statistical Base" for BOD5 and TSS percentremoval is "Daily Minimum". This statistical base is incorrect and should state "Monthly Average Minimum"which is consistent with both your DRBC docket and the February 14, 1996 permit upon which those limitswere originally based. This permit modification serves to correct the statistical base for BOD5 and TSSpercent removal to "Monthly Average Minimum" at DSN 462B.

This modification therefore affects pages 8 and 9 of Part III for DSN 462B where the corrected pages have beenattached. Because this change is necessary to correct a technical error, the Department is making this changeretroactive to March 1, 2003, which is the effective date of your permit renewal. All other terms and conditionsof your existing permit remain unchanged.

New Jersey is an Equal Opportunity Employer

I. DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY

The above-named applicant has applied for a renewal of New Jersey

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) permit Number

NJ0025411, to the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental

Protection (NJDEP), Division of Water Quality to discharge into the

designated receiving water.

The Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) is located on the

southwestern side of Artificial Island on the eastern shore of the

, Delaware River (River) in Salem County, New Jersey. HCGS lies

about 50 miles northwest of the mouth of the Delaware Bay and 30

miles southwest of Philadelphia (See Figure 1). The River in the

area of HCGS is approximately 2.5 miles wide. The tidal flow of

the River past HCGS is approximately 400,000 cubic feet per second

or 259,000 million gallons per day (MGD). A location map of the

facility is included as Figure 1.

I DRAFT - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY

0,act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 3 of 87 Pages

HCGS consists of one boiling water nuclear reactor with a net

electrical generating capacity of approximately 1,067 megawatts

which commenced commercial operation on December 20, 1986. HCGS

operates with a closed cycle cooling system which uses a natural

draft cooling tower. Makeup water is provided to the cooling tower

from the River and is returned to the River as cooling, tower

blowdown, with some evaporative losses to the atmosphere. The

Schematic of Water Flow is shown in Figure 2.

Condenser cooling water is treated to remove heat by circulation in

an evaporative natural draft, (counter current) cooling tower.

Sodium hydroxide is added to the cooling water to protect the tower

fill from chemical deterioration and sodium hypochlorite is added

to prevent biofouling of the condensers, the cooling tower, and

related equipment. A portion of the recirculated cooling water,

referred to as cooling tower blowdown, is continuously removed to

prevent solids buildup. The cooling tower blowdown is treated with

ammonium bisulfite, a dechlorinating agent, to reduce chlorine

residuals to permitted levels prior to discharge. Makeup water is

provided to the cooling tower from the Delaware River through the



service water system to replace the water removed through blowdown

and. evaporative loss to the atmosphere. Cooling tower blowdown is

discharged through outfall DSN 461A.

DSN 461A is the largest discharge from HCGS, and primarily consists

of cooling tower blowdown (40.5 MGD) with minor waste .stream

contributions from the Low Volume and Oily Waste System (DSN 461C)

and liquid radioactive waste system (DSN 461B) as shown in Figure

3; Sediment which collects in the cooling tower basin is removed

as necessary and is disposed of at an onsite dredge spoil area.

The liquid radioactive waste system (DSN 461B) is a low volume

(0.042 MGD) wastewater source which mixes with the cooling tower

blowdown, prior to the DSN 461A monitoring point. The liquid

radioactive waste (LRW) system is designed to process liquid waste

streams from inside the power generation facilities that may

potentially contain radioactivity. The treatment system contains

all necessary equipment to meet both U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (USNRC) standards for the discharge of radioactivity and

I DRAFT' - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY

z act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 5 f 87 Pages

the applicable New Jersey State Water Quality Standards. The USNRC

has issued license number NPF-57 to the facility.

The Low Volume and Oily Waste (LVOW) System (DSN 461C) is an

internal monitoring point which combines with cooling tower

blowdown prior to the DSN 461A monitoring point. The LVOW System

collects and treats potentially oily wastewater from area,

building, and equipment drains throughout the site as well as the

auxiliary boiler blowdown and miscellaneous stormwater sources.

Collected waste streams are processed through an API-approved

oil/water separator as shown in Figure 4 where solid and floatable

materials are removed. Settleable solids are removed from the

waste stream by gravity separation and are transferred to the oily

sludge holding tank before being trucked off-site to a licensed

disposal facility. Oil and floatables removed by the separator are

.routed to the waste oil tank before being trucked off-site to a

licensed disposal facility. Treated effluent from the LVOW System

(0.06 MGD) is discharged to the Delaware River through DSN 461A.

*Fact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411*Page 6 of 87 Pages

The North Yard Storm Drain (DSN 462A) collects precipitation runoff

and groundwater and discharges to the Delaware River (0.16 MGD).

Influents, as shown in Figure 5, include tidal waters, site

drainage from the facility, and construction and excavation

dewatering (primarily groundwater) regulated under a Water Allocation

Permit. The Salem Soil Conservation District reviews and approves

a soil erosion and sediment control plan for all construction

projects which disturb more than 5,000 square feet of land (or more

than 1,000 square feet of land within 25 feet of a stream bank).

The sewage treatment plant (DSN 462B) also discharges through this

*. outfall but is monitored independently. Due to facility elevations

and the proximity to the River, this outfall is tidally influenced.

The Sewage Treatment Plant (DSN 462B) treats sanitary wastewater

collected from the Salem and Hope Creek stations and administrative

facilities and sewage holding tank waste generated at unconnected

buildings onsite. Collected wastewaters receive secondary

treatment in a single channel oxidation ditch which oxidizes the

organic constituents of the influent wastewater. Solids are then

removed in two clarifiers with a portion of the sludge (biosolids)

DRAFT - FOR.DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY

Fact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 7 of 87 Pages

recycled back to the oxidation ditch. Clarifier effluent can then

be polished in sand filters for removal of any fine solids. Final

effluent (0.03 MGD) is chlorinated to destroy pathogenic organisms

prior to discharge to the Delaware River through DSN 462A as shown

in Figure 6. Excess biosolids from the clarification process are

stored temporarily in a sludge holding tank before final disposal

at an offsite licensed treatment or disposal facility.

The South Yard Storm Drain (DSN .463A) collects precipitation runoff

and groundwater and discharges to the Delaware River (0.19 MGD).

Influents, as shown in Figure 7, include tidal waters, site

drainage, chlorination structure drains, and construction and

excavation dewatering (primarily groundwater)regulated under a

Water Allocation Permit. The Salem Soil Conservation District

reviews and approves a soil erosion and sediment control plan for

all construction projects which disturb more than 5,000 square feet

of land (or more than 1,000 square feet of land within 25 feet of

a stream bank). Due to facility elevations and the proximity to

the River, this outfall is tidally influenced. The chlorination

structure drains from the sodium hypochlorite tank secondary


*Fact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 8 of 87 Pages

containment and the chlorination control building are normally

isolated and residual chlorine shall be verified to be below

detection prior to release through this outfall.

The Perimeter Storm Drain (DSN 464) collects precipitation runoff

from several non-process areas on the Hope Creek site and access

roadways as well as natural drainage from the'adjacent marshes and

then discharges to the Delaware River, (0.23 MGD). Due to the

facility elevations and proximity to the River, this outfall is

also tidally influenced.

STATEMENT OF BASIS

DRAFT NJPDES PERMIT TO

DISCHARGE INTO THE WATERS OF

THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY

NJPDES Application No. NJ0025411

UNDERSTANDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND

MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

Permit effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, and other

conditions are authorized by the Federal Water Pollution Control

Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 2t a_2.), also known as the Clean Water Act,

and the State Water Pollution Control Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10A-1 et

sea_.). These statutes are implemented by the National Pollutant

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) (40 CFR Part 122) and New

Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) (N.J.A.C.

7:14A-1 et. sea-) permit programs.

Effluent limitations are developed by the following three methods:


*Fact Sheet/Basis


1. TECHNOLOGY BASED LIMITATIONS

Technology based limitations are authorized by Section 301 of the

Clean Water Act, 40 CFR 122, N.J.S.A. 58:10A-4, and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.13a(I) . In general, effluent limitations are based on Effluent

Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) developed by the United States.

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), or on Best Professional

Judgment (BPJ) in cases where ELGs are not available or not

appropriate. ELGs are minimum technology, based requirements

applicable on a nation-wide basis. They consider the category of

0 industry which produces pollutants taking into account the specific

factors unique to a particular type of industry (manufacturing

process, type and quantity of pollutants generated, types of

treatment facilities available to treat the pollutants, etc). ELGs

are published in 40 CFR Subchapter N. The Steam Electric Effluent

Limitations Guidelines are published in 40 CFR Part 423. BPJ

determinations are authorized by Section 402(a) (1) of the Clean

Water Act.

2. WATER QUALITY BASED EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS


WF act Sheet/Basis


Water Quality Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) are imposed when

it has been determined that limitations more stringent than

technology based effluent limitations are required to meet water

quality standards. WQBELs are authorized by Section 301 of the

Clean Water Act, 40 CFR 122, N.J.S.A. 58:10A-4, and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.13a(4), and are developed to assure compliance with the New

Jersey Surface Water Quality Standards, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1 et _.,

and the Federal Water Quality Standards, 40 CFR Part 131. The

policies used to develop WQBELs are contained in the State and

Federal standards and guidance. Specific procedures,

methodologies, and equations are contained in the current USEPA

"Technical Support Document for Water Quality-based Toxics Control"

(EPA-505/2-90-001).

The Department is currently developing a watershed-based approach

to WQBELs for pollutants, including toxic pollutants. Until such

time as those limitations are developed for Zone 5, toxic pollutant

limitations for most dischargers are determined using technology

based limitations and miscellaneous effluent requirements along

with a whole effluent toxicity limitation, when necessary. In


*act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 34.of 87 Pages

addition, WQBELs for toxic pollutants from most dischargers will be

imposed and/or revised as necessary when Total Maximum Daily Loads

(TMDLs) are-developed on a watershed specific basis. Additionally,

where appropriate, the permittee is required to conduct a pollutant

reduction study to determine various source. reduction options,

treatment options, and associated costs that would reduce the

levels of toxic pollutants.

3. MISCELLANEOUS EFFLUENT REQUIREMENTS


*act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 35 of 87 Pages0

Miscellaneous effluent requirements, such as the minimum treatment

requirements in N.J..A.C. 7:9-5, are authorized by Section 301 of

the Clean Water Act, 40 CFR 122, N.J.S.A. 58:10A-4, and N.J.A.C.

7:14A-3.13a(2). Miscellaneous effluent limitations and conditions

may be required by other federal, state or regional statutes and

regulations. Some of these are:

1. New Jersey Surface Water Quality Standards

(N.J.A.C. 7:9-4)

2. Oil and Grease Effluent Limitations

(N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14)

3. Wastewater Discharge Requirements

(N.J.A.C. 7:9-5)

4. Requirements of the following:

Delaware River Basin Commission (N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.5(b)i)



DESCRIPTION OF LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS

1. DSN 461A - Cooling Tower Blowdown

Conditions for EFFLUENT FLOW are consistent with the existing

permit, in accordance with the provisions set forth in N.J.A.C.

7:14A-3.13'(a) (12)i and are applied pursuant to the fee calculation

requirements in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.8 et. s and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.13(a)9.i. (2) et. s .. Monitoring for effluent flow is required

continuously by meter. The permittee has provided acceptable

backup monitoring methodologies in the application for reporting

during maintenance, calibration or inoperability of the continuous

monitor including an installed float meter, manual measurement of

the height over the weir once per shift, or a calculation based on

the difference between intake flow and estimated evaporative

losses. Daily maximum and monthly average effluent flow in units

of Million Gallons per Day (MGD) shall be reported.

Conditions for INFLUENT TEMPERATURE are consistent with the

existing permit in accordance with the provisions set forth in

8DRAFT - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY

T act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 37 of 87 Pages

N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i and to provide the data required to

calculate Heat Rate. The permittee has provided acceptable backup

monitoring methodologies in the application for reporting during

maintenance, calibration or inoperability of the continuous monitor

including a temporary monitoring device or manually obtaining

temperature once per shift. Continuous monitoring with daily

maximum and monthly average reporting is required.

Conditions for EFFLUENT TEMPERATURE AND HEAT RATE have been

modified from the existing permit consistent with the requirements

of 33 U.S.C. 1342(o), 40 CFR 122.44 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a)12.

The terms and conditions of the existing permit were developed and

imposed prior to the Station's beginning operation in 1986. The

permit required that Hope Creek operate with a closed cycle cooling

water system and imposed effluent limitations on the cooling tower

blowdown discharge based, in large part, on the generic. design

characteristics for the type of cooling tower proposed for

installation.

In 1990, the Permittee entered into an Administrative Consent Order

(ACO) with the Department to resolve, among other matters, certain

violations of the effluent temperature and heat limitations from


* Fact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411tPage 38 of 87 Pages

DSN 461A, the cooling tower blowdown discharge. In connection with

the establishment of the terms and conditions of the ACO, the

permittee presented the information and data to the NJDEP which

had been used to develop the pre-operational permit limits. A

review of this data suggested that -the limits were based on the

efficiency of the cooling tower under average meteorological

conditions and certain station operating conditions. As a

result, the NJDEP established interim limits in the ACO for Heat

Rate but required a year long study of the actual cooling tower

blowdown relative to various meterological and plant operating

conditions to confirm the initial conclusions and to determine

, appropriate limits based on the efficiency of the cooling tower.

The permittee submitted the results of the cooling tower blowdown

study to the NJDEP in 1991. This study concluded that under

certain meteorological and plant operating conditions, the cooling

tower performance was such that the limits in the existing permit

could not be met.

In connection with the development of a supplement to its permit

renewal application, the permittee commissioned an additional study

of the effects of meteorological conditions which have occurred at



the site on cooling tower performance under varying operating

conditions. This study concluded that meteorology and intake flow

have the greatest effect on the Heat Rate and the Effluent

Temperature. Based on the results of this study, the permittee has

proposed less stringent limitations for Effluent Temperature and

seasonal Heat Rate. In addition, the permittee commissioned a

study to determine whether the proposed effluent limitations it was

seeking would result in compliance with applicable water quality

standards for temperature. The results of a mathematical computer.

model depicting the thermal discharge demonstrated that even with

the proposed limits, the thermal plume from Hope Creek Generating

Station does not exceed 1.50 FA.T from June through August or 40 F

AT from September through May at the edge of the Heat Dissipation

Area designated for thermal discharges from Hope Creek. The Heat


act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 40 of 87 Pages

Dissipation Area designated for thermal discharges from Hope Creek

is defined as a rectangle extending 2500 feet upstream or

downstream and 1500 feet off shore from the point of discharge.

This HDA complys with DRBC'.s HDA for thermal discharges into Zone

5 of the Delaware River as found in Section 4.30.6 of the DRBC

Water Quality Regulations.

The Department. is proposing a limitation of 36.20 C (97.1 'F) for

EFFLUENT TEMPERATURE and seasonal HEAT RATE limitations of 662

MBTU/hr from September through May and 534 MBTU/hr from June

through August from this outfall. The proposed effluent

limitations are based on the results of a study entitled "Hope

Creek Hydrothermal Studies" prepared by J.E. Edinger Associates,

Inc, dated June 21, 199•4. Proposing these limits is in accord with

the anti-backsliding provisions of federal and state law for the

following reasons:

(1) the permittee has installed a natural draft cooling tower with

the design contemplated at the time the existing permit limits were

established and has properly operated and maintained the cooling

tower. Nonetheless, the permittee has been unable to achieve

compliance with the limitations imposed due primarily to


tact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJO025411Page 41 of 87 Pages

meteorological conditions, which are clearly beyond the permittee's

control (SeeN.J.A.C.7:14A-3.13(a)12.ii. (1) ,40CFR 122.44(1) (2) (i) (C)

and 33 U.S.C. '1342 (o) (2) (E));

(2) Moreover, the actual operating data demonstrate that the

cooling tower can not achieve the limitations imposed in the

initial permit under meteorological conditions typical in the area

of the Station at any level of station operating conditions.

Therefore, if the operating data been available at the time of

initial operation, alternative limitations would have been

justified. (See 33 U.S.C. 1342 (o) (2) (B) (i) and 40 CFR

122.44(l) (2) (i) (B) (1));

(3) The various studies that PSE&G has conducted since 1990 have

concluded that meteorological conditions, over which the permittee

has no control, affect the efficiency of the cooling tower and

justify the imposition of less stringent permit limitations. (See

33 U.S.C. 1342 (o) (2) (C) and 40 CFR 122.44 (1) (2) (i) (C)) ; and

(4) Finally, the permittee has demonstrated to the Department's

satisfaction that the thermal plume from the Station with the

proposed limitations will be in compliance with all applicable


Tact Sheet/BasisPermit No..NJ0025411Page 42 of 87 Pages

surface water quality standards within the Heat Dissipation Area

(2500' by 1500') designated by the DRBC. (See 33 U.S.C. 1342

(o)(3)).

EFFLUENT TEMPERATURE shall be monitored continuously. The-

permittee has provided acceptable backup monitoring methodologies

for reporting during maintenance, calibration or inoperability of

the continuous monitor including the temperature detector located

at the dechlorination system inlet, a temporary continuous

temperature monitor, or manual sampling once per shift. A daily

maximum limitation of 36.2 0C (97.1 0 F) has been imposed and the

monthly average value shall be reported. A footnote has been

included in Part III-B/C, Page.2 of 6 pages, the Effluent

Limitations Table for DSN 461A, which addresses the reporting of

the daily maximum and monthly average values based on continous

monitoring.

The HEAT RATE shall be calculated daily as the product of heat

capacity, discharge flow, and discharge-intake temperature

difference. A daily maximum limitation of 534 Million British

Thermal Units per Hour (MBTU/Hr) from June through August and 662


*act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Rage 43 of 87 Pages

MBTU/Hr from September through May have been imposed. The time

periods designated as summer and winter have been changed to

correspond with the seasonal time periods in the State Surface

Water Quality Criteria (N.J.A.C. 7:9B-14).



TOTAL RESIDUAL CHLORINE (TRC) will be expressed as CHLORINE

PRODUCED OXIDANTS (CPO). Since CPO is equivalent to TRC in

accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1 et. s , 'the effluent limitations

are consistent with the existing. permit in accordance with the.

provisions set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) C12)i. The effluent

limitations are based on the ELGs for the Steam Electric catagory

(40 CFR 423). CPO shall be limited to a daily maximum of 0.5 mg/l

and a monthly average of 0.2 mg/l and shall be monitored three

times per week using a grab sample.

* Effluent limitations and conditions for pH are: based on the ELGs

for the Steam Electric catagory (40 CFR 423) and are consistent

with the existing permit in accordance with the provisions set

forth in N.J.A.C.' 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i. The daily minimum pH of the

effluent shall not be less than 6.0 Standard Units (SU) and the

daily maximum pH shall not be greater than 9.0 SU. Based on the:

values reported on the Discharge Monitoring Reports demonstrating

consistent compliance with the limitations (see Permit Summary

Tables),. monitoring for pH hasbeen reduced from twice per week to

weekly. Monitoring shall be performed using a grab sample


pact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 45 of .87 Pages

The existing permit requires that the discharge comply with a daily

maximum limitation of 15 mg/l and a monthly average limitation of

10 mg/l for PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS in accordance with N.J.A.C.

7:14A-14.4. A review of the effluent sample results over the past

two years reveals that the discharge consistently complies with, the

existing permit limitations with reported values all less than

1 mg/l. The Discharge. Monitoring Report .(DMR) results are

presented in the Permit Summary Tables in the Fact Sheet. Due to

the nature of operations involved at the site and the effluent

sample results, the discharge has a low potential to exceed the

existing permit limitations. In additions, as a new outfall in

1985, petroleum hydrocarbon data was not available at the time of.

issuance of the existing permit. For these reasons, this draft

permit proposes to delete the limitations and monitoring conditions

for petroleum hydrocarbons, in accordance with 40 CFR

122.44(1) (2) (i) (B) (1). However, the effluent shall not exhibit a

visible sheen during discharge.

Effluent limitations and conditions for TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON (TOC)

are consistent with the existing permit in accordance with the



provisions set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i and are imposed

to determine the potential oxygen demanding characteristics of the

discharge. Based on the values reported on the Discharge

Monitoring Reports demonstrating consistent compliance with the

limitations, the monitoring frequency for TOC has been reduced

from twice per month to monthly. The daily maximum limitation of

.20 mg/1 NET is retained and the monthly average net value shall be

reported. The net value is determined as follows:

Net Conc. = (Eff Conc)x(Eff Flow) - (Inf Conc)x(Inf Flow)Effluent Flow

Effluent conditions for ASBESTOS were imposed in the current permit

to develop a database since portions of the cooling tower contain

asbestos. The analyses conducted and reported on the Discharge

Monitoring Reports (as shown on the Permit Summary Tables in the

Fact Sheet) for the last two years demonstrate that there is no

addition of asbestos from the cooling tower materials into-the

discharge with all reported values less than the Method Detection



Level (MDL) Therefore, monitoring for this parameter is no longer

required. There is no State Water Quality Standard for asbestos in

the receiving waters.

The existing permit authorizes the use. of an anti-scalant

containing PHOSPHORUS in the Cooling Tower System. At the present

time, the permittee is not adding this antiscalant, but may require

future additions to protect the mechanical integrity of the Cooling

Tower system. The renewal permit has been strutured so that if

anti-scalant addition is required in the future, the permittee

shall notify the Bureau of Standard Permitting prior to the-use of

an anti-scalant chemical containing phoshorus. Upon approval from

the Department, the permittee shall be allowed to add the anti-

scalant containing phosphorus and will be required to monitor and

report the phosphorus concentration at DSN 461A. Monitoring shall

be conducted monthly by grab sample. ..Please refer to Part III-B/C,

Section 3 for further clarification of this condition of the

permit.



Limitations and conditions for ZINC, COPPER and CHROMIUM in the

current permit were imposed to allow the use of cooling tower

maintenance chemicals containing these metals in accordance with 40

CFR Part 423. Since cooling tower maintenance chemicals containing

these metals are not used currently, and. are not anticipated to be

used in the future, these limitations and conditions are deleted.

Part III-B/C, Section 3 establishes a procedure for notifying the

Bureau of Standard Permiting if any additional. cooling tower

maintenance chemicals will be used in the future than those

currently used in the system. The permit may be reopened to

incorporate any additional limitations or conditions the Department

deemed necessary.

The Permittee has monitored for TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS (TSS) in the

influent and effluent of the cooling tower system by grab sample

during the term of the existing permit. The data collected,

however, does not provide an adequate basis for determining the

change in TSS through the cooling tower system. In order to allow

the Department to assess more comprehensively the permittee's

discharge of TSS and the need for additional restrictions on TSS,



additional data is required. The Permittee, therefore, is being

required to perform a cooling tower system TSS study to determine

if the cooling tower system is measurably changing the volume of

total solids from the influent. TSS analyses shall be performed in

accordance with the methods approved at 40 CFR 136. The Permittee

shall submit a report of the Study to the Department. After a

review of the Report, and consistent with State and Federal

regulations (see generally 40 CFR 122.44 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A.1), the

Department will determine whether additional permit limitations or

conditions are appropriate.

The permittee is required to perform an Acute Toxicity

Characterization Study and a Chronic Toxicity Characterization

Study as explained in Section 5 of this Statement of Basis, Special

Permit Conditions. Requirements for a Dilution Study are also

discussed in Section 5.

2. DSN 461C -Low Volume and Oily Waste System

Conditions for FLOW are consistent with the existing permit in

accordance with the provisions set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.13(a) (12)i and are applied pursuant to the fee calculation

requirements in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.8 et. s and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-.

3.13 (a)9.i. (2) et.* se Flow shall be continuously monitored by

meter. The daily maximum flow limitation of 0.45 MGD in the

existing permit was applied based on Best Professional Judgement

considering system design. A review of the effluent monitoring

results does not show any correlation to effluent flow volumes.

The limiting factor for flow capacity of the system is the ability

to provide adequate treatment to meet effluent limitations. Due to

the nature of operations involved at the site and the effluent

sample results, a limitation on effluent flow is not necessary. For

these reasons, this draft permit proposes to delete the the

limitations for effluent flow in accordance with 40 CFR

122.44(1) (2) (i).(B). Monthly average reporting shall be required.

The permittee has provided adequate backup monitoring methodologies

in the application for reporting during maintenance, calibration or

inoperability of the continuous monitor including calculations

based on the lift station pump operating hours or lift station

pumping events.

Monitoring requirements for EFFLUENT.TEMPERATURE were imposed in

the current permit to establish a database to determine whether

limitations were necessary at this internal monitoring point.

Based on the review of the Discharge Monitoring Reports containing

over two years of data and the comingling of the effluent from DSN

O 461C with the cooling tower blowdown (DSN 461A) prior to DSN 461A

temperature measurement, monitoring for effluent temperature has

been deleted at this internal monitoring point.

The effluent limitations of 10 mg/l as a monthly average and 15

mg/l as a daily maximum and conditions for PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS

are carried over from the existing permit in accordance with

N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14.1, et sea.,

entitled "Oil and Grease Effluent Limitations." The sample shall

be collected as a grab sample.

Effluent limitations and conditions for TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON (TOC)

are carried over from the existing permit in accordance with the

provisions set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12).i and are imposed

to determine the potential oxygen demanding characteristics of the

discharge. The samples shall be collected as composite samples.

The monitoring frequency has been reduced from twice per month to

monthly based on a review of the DMR data (see permit Summary

Tables in the Fact Sheet) demonstrating consistent compliance with

the limitations. A daily maximum limitation of 50 mg/l is imposed

and reporting of a monthly average is also required.

Effluent limitations and conditions for TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS

(TSS) are carried over from the existing permit in accordance with

N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a)(12)i. DSN 461C is a low volume waste source

pursuant to 40 CFR Part 423 and the limitations are consistent with

that section. Samples shall be collected as composite samples. The

monitoring frequency has been reduced from twice per month to

monthly based on a review of the DMR data (see permit Summary

Tables in the Fact Sheet) demonstrating consistent compliance with

the limitations. The limitations imposed are a monthly average of



30 mg/l and a daily maximum of 100 mg/l. The seven-day average of

45 mg/l originally imposed in the existing permit based on DRBC

Water Quality requirements has been eliminated in this renewal

permit in. accordance with 40 CFR 122.44(1) (2) (i) (B) (2). The seven-

day average limitation of i45 mg/l is an effluent quality

requirements as found in Section 3.10.4 of the DRBC Water Quality

Regulations and applies to a direct discharge to surface waters,

and is therefore not applicable to the DSN 461C internal monitoring

point.

PH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0

standard units as monitored and reported for outfall DSN 461A.

USEPA regulations and guidance, including the combined wastestream

rule, allow mixing a low volume wastestream such as DSN 461C with

cooling water effluents in order to utilize the natural buffering

capacity of the cooling water, as long as the final discharge at

the cooling water outfall (DSN 461A) complies with the pH

limitation. Therefore, pH monitoring is not required at DSN 461C.

Effluent limitations and conditions for AMMONIA in the current



permit were based-on the DRBC Water Quality Regulations. Since

this is an internal monitoring point which does not directly

discharge to surface water, this limitation is not appropriate.. In

addition, review of the Discharge Monitoring Reports show no

exceedances of the existing limitation of 35 mg/l, with the highest

reported value of 3 mg/l. .Therefore, based on the inappropriate

application of. the DRBC effluent limitation at an internal

monitoring point, and review of-ammonia data submitted since the

issuance of the existing permit, in accordance with 40 CFR

(1) (2) (B) (1) and (2), the effluent limitations and monitoring

conditions for this parameter have been eliminated in this.renewal

permit.

Effluent limitations and conditions for COPPER in the current

permit were imposed based on the DRBC Effluent Quality

Requirements. The limits are water-quality based requirements.and

they are not appropriately applied at DSN 461C, an internal

monitoring point. The Low Volume and Oily Waste System does not

treat metal cleaning wastes and therefore the Steam Electric

Effluent Limitations Guidelines (40 CFR 423) are not applicable to


t0act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 55 of 87 Pages*

this discharge. Based on the inappropriate application of the DRBC

effluent limitations at an internal monitoring, and review of

effluent data that indicates that copper is routinely not detected

in this outfall, the effluent limitations and monitoring

requirements have been eliminated in this renewal permit in

accordance with 40CFR (l)(2).(B)(1) and (2).

Monitoring requirements for IRON were imposed in the current permit

to establish a database. Based on the absence of a State Water

Quality Standard for iron, monitoring for iron has been deleted.

3. DSN 462B -. Sewage Treatment Plant

The Sewage Treatment Plant-ý discharge, DSN 462B, currently

discharges through the North Yard Drain outfall, DSN 462A. The

permittee has proposed rerouting the existing sewage treatment

plant effluent to discharge through the cooling tower blowdown

outfall, DSN 461A. This rerouting would provide additional

treatment, e.g. residual chlorine would be removed prior to

discharge through reaction with the cooling tower blowdown


S*act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ00254.11Page 56 of 87 Pages

dechlorination chemical, ammonium bisulfite. The. Department

supports this rerouting proposal as it provides treatment without

additional chemical additions. The rerouting is anticipated to

require one year to complete. The Department is proposing

alternate effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for the

Sewage Treatment Plant effluent upon completion of the discharge

rerouting to those appropriate for an internal waste stream. The

permittee is required to complete the discharge rerouting no later

than EDP + one (.1) year. If the discharge rerouting is completed

earlier than required, the permittee shall notify the Department

and the alternate effluent limitations and monitoring conditions

will apply at that time.

height over the effluent weir and recorded on a daily basis. The

daily maximum flow and monthly average flow shall be reported in



MGD. The permittee has provided adequate backup monitoring

methodologies in the application for reporting during maintenance,

calibration or inoperability of the continuous monitor including

the manual measurement of height of flow over the weir once per

shift. There is no change to these requirements after the

discharge rerouting is completed.

Effluent limitations and conditions for OIL AND GREASE are carried

over from the existing permit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.13(a) (12)i and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14.1, 2L sea., entitled "Oil and

Grease Effluent Limitations." The sample shall be collected as a

grab sample and reported in units of mg/l. Monitoring frequency

shall be monthly. The monthly average limitation of 10 mg/l and

the daily maximum limitation of 15 mg/l have been retained. There

is no change to these requirements after the rerouting of the

discharge is complete.

The effluent limitation for carbonaceous (first stage) oxygen

demand (FSOD)has been increased from 8.2 kg/day (18 lbs. per day)

to 9.5 kg/day (21 lbs/day) based on the combined allocation


Fact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Rage 58 of 87 Pages

assigned by the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) in a letter,

dated September 23, 1987. PSE&G requested the combined allocation

in a letter, dated September 11, 1987, based on the proposed

construction of a new 'oxidation ditch method' sewage treatment

plant (STP) at that time to serve both generating stations. The

existing STPs at each generating station were to be taken out of

service upon start-up of the new STP. This FSOD allocation is

equivalent to 8 kg/day (17.5 lbs/day) biochemical oxygen demand

(BOD.)based on the ratio of FSOD to BOD of 1.2 assigned by the DRBC

in the September 23, 1987 letter. Since FSOD and BOD, are

equivalent and BOD, is the parameter analyzed, BQ_ will be the

limited parameter. The monthly average effluent limitation for BOD,

is 8 kg/day (17.5 lbs/day) based on the DRBC allocation and the

daily maximum value shall be reported. Monitoring shall be

conducted monthly using composite samples. Composite samples are

specified to ensure representative samples are collected. There is

no change to these requirements after the rerouting of the

discharge is completed. The increase in the FSOD allocation and

BOD, effluent limitation are consistent with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.13(a) (12)ii(3) as the construction of the oxidatation ditch STP

monthly minimum limitation of 87.5% has been retained based on the

DRBC Effluent Quality Requirements and DRBC Docket Decision D-87-

70. Monitoring shall be performed monthly by calculation.

Influent monitoring by composite sample will be required to perform

this calculation. There is no change to these requirements after

the rerouting of the discharge is completed.

Effluent limitations and conditions for TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS

(TSS) are carried over from the existing permit in accordance with

N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i and are based on the DRBC Effluent

Quality Requirements. at section 3.10.4.D.l.a.l. Monitoring shall

be perfornled monthly as a composite sample and reported in units of



mg/l. The limitations imposed are a monthly average of 30 mg/l and

a seven-day average of 45 mg/i. The daily maximum limitation of

100. mg/l has been deleted based on the DRBC Effluent Quality

Requirements at section 3.10.4.D.1.a.2 as DMR data indicates that

the effluent has not exceeded a TSS value above 45 mg/l which would

have warranted the imposition of the 100 mg/i effluent limitation.

After completion of the rerouting of the DSN 462B discharge, the

seven-day average limitation of 45 mg/i will be deleted since this

will be an internal monitoring point and there will not be a direct

discharge.

Effluent limitations and conditions for Percent Removal of Total

Suspended Solids (TSS) are carried over from the existing permit in

accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i and the DRBC Docket

Decision D-87-70. The monthly minimum limitation of 85% has been

imposed based on the DRBC Effluent Quality Requirements.

Monitoring shall be performed monthly by calculation. Influent

3.13(a) (12) i and the DRBC Docket Decision D-87-70. Monitoring

shall be performed monthly as a grab sample and reported in units

of MPN/100ml. The limitations imposed are a monthly average of 200

MPN/100ml based on the DRBC Stream Quality Objectives and a daily

maximum of 400 MPN/100ml based on the State Water Quality Standards

at N.J.A.C. 7:9B. The monthly average shall be the geometric mean

over a 30 consecutive day period and the maximum shall be the

geometric mean over a seven consecutive day period. There is no

change to these requirements after the rerouting-of the discharge

is completed.

Monitoring requirements for CHLORINE PRODUCED OXIDANTS (CPO) are

being imposed in this permit to develop a database. This data will

be evaluated relative to the level of fecal coliform in the

discharge. Monthly monitoring and reporting are required until

completion of the rerouting of the DSN 462B discharge is completed

after which time any residual chlorine in this wastestream will be

treated by ammonium bisulfate and discharged with the cooling tower

blowdown to DSN 461A.

Effluent limitations for pH are consistent with the existing permit

in accordance with the provisions set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.13(a)*(12)i. Monitoring for pH shall be performed monthly using

a grab sample. The monitoring frequency has been reduced from

twice per week to monthly based on a review of the DMR data (see

permit Summary Tables in the Fact Sheet) demonstrating consistent

compliance with the limitations. The daily minimum pH of the

effluent shall not be less than 6.0 Standard Units (SU) and the

daily maximumppH shall not be greater than 9.0 SU. No effluent

limitations or monitoring conditions are imposed after the

rerouting of the discharge is completed. USEPA regulations and

guidance, including the combined wastestream rule, allow mixing a

low volume wastestream such as DSN 462B with cooling water

effluents as long as the final discharge at the cooling water


%act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411.Page 63 of 87 Pages

outfall (DSN 461A} complies with the pH limitation. This is in

order to utilize the residual dechlorination chemical and/or the

natural buffering capacity of .the cooling water.

4. DSN 462A, DSN 463A and DSN 464 - Yard Drains

Stormwater runoff at the facility is directed via a conveyance

system to three discrete outfalls identified as DSN 462A, DSN 463A

and DSN 464. The North Yard Drain conveys stormwater runoff from

catch basin inlets, building roof drains, and parking areas, and

also from construction and excavation dewatering, groundwater

infiltration, tidal waters, and miscellaneous minor drains to DSN.

462A. The South Yard Drain conveys stormwater runoff from catch.

basin inlets, building roof drains, and parking areas, and also

from construction and excavation dewatering, groundwater

infiltration, tidal waters, and miscellaneous minor drains, to DSN

463A. The Perimeter Storm Drain conveys stormwater from access

roads and parking areas, and also building roof drains, groundwater



and surface water infiltration, and tidal waters to DSN 464.

Schematic diagrams of the stormwater conveyance systems are shown

* in Figure 5 and Figure 7.

The existing permit imposed numeric effluent limitations and

monitoring conditions to the stormwater runoff discharged from DSN

462A, DSN 463A and DSN 464. These limitations were a combination

of limitations based on BAT, as determined by BPJ and limitations

based on effluent quality objectives from the Delaware River Basin

Commission Water Quality Regulations.

The sewage treatment plant at the facility presently discharges to

DSN 462A and this effluent is monitored independently and subject

to numeric limitations at DSN 462B. The sewage treatment plant

effluent will also be rerouted to discharge through DSN 461A

instead of DSN 462A within EDP + one (1) year.

On January 11, 1990, the permittee entered into an ACO with the

Department that, among other things, resolved the issues relating

to compliance with the numeric limitations in the existing permit


S *act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 65 of 87 Pages

then applicable to DSNs 462A, 463A and 464 by requiring PSE&G to

undertake certain measures in conjunction with suspension of the

limitations for TSS at DSN 462A, 463A and 464.

In connection with the resolution of these issues, the permittee

undertook a number of measures (e.g, capital projects.) to control

the discharge of suspended solids in stormwater runoff. These

measures included: (1) regrading the facility and installation of

gravel and seeding of grass on areas which were previously in a

natural state to reduce drainage velocity and more equally

distribute. precipitation runoff; (2) installation of inlet

protection on all stormwater collection catch basins to minimize

solids entrainment; and (3) installation of check valves on the

North and South Yard Drain outfalls to reduce tidal intrusion. As

part of the requirements of the ACO, the permittee also conducted

a stormwater study at the facility to determine the feasibility of,

obtaining representative stormwater samples for analysis. The

permittee, in the stormwater study dated July 13, 1990, concluded

that it was infeasible to collect representative stormwater samples

at the facility based on the tidal intrusions into the existing



st ormwater conveyance system from the Delaware River. The

stormwater study demonstrated that representative monitoring of

stormwater could not be achieved with the existing conveyance

system elevations due to tidal intrusion in the system by Delaware

River water. It was further determined that modifications to the

existing conveyance system elevations to were not pratical due to

l)excessive pump capacity required to handle projected volume of

water due to the tidal intrusions, and 2) high water table (Bft

below grade level at mean high tide).,

The permittee submitted a BMP Plan to the Department dated February

28, 1990 and supplemented this plan with additional information

dated January 31, 1992 in order to satisfy additional requirements

of the ACO. The permittee developed this BMP Plan to prevent or

minimize the potential for contributions of suspended solids into

stormwater runoff discharged to the Delaware River from DSN 462A,

463A and 464. These practices included:

Establishing and maintaining a BMP committee;

Identification and assessment of areas which could potentially

contribute pollutants to the stormwater runoff;


* act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 67 of 87 Pages

- Good housekeeping;

Preventative maintenance including structural controls and

stabilization;

Record keeping;

Security; and

Employee training including prevention and response.

As a result of the implementation of the capital projects and the

BMP required under the ACO, the average TSS values reported on Hope

Creek Generating .Station's DMRs since 1992 have consistently been

lower than the values reported prior to the installation of the

capital projects and the BMP. The NJDEP's Bureau of Stormwater

Permitting and the Bureau of Standard Permitting have inspected the

site and have determined that continued use of BMPs instead of

numeric limits is the most appropriate means of regulating the

discharge of pollutants from t his site in stormwater runoff.

In accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) l1, this

draft permit proposes to replace the numeric effluent limitations

and monitoring conditions in the existing permit at DSN 462A, DSN



463A and DSN 464 with conditions for the permittee to develop and

implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SPP) Plan

incorporating an expanded Best Management Practices (BMP) Plan.

The BMPs are proposed to control and abate the discharge of

pollutants into the stormwater runoff. The Department finds, that

the continuance of numeric effluent limitations and monitoring

conditions is unwarranted and infeasible based on the following: 1)

the tidal intrusion of the Delaware River into the facility's

stormwater conveyance system reported in the stormwater study

submitted by the permittee in 1990; and 2) the material and

* substantial changes at the facility implemented between 1989 and

1992 through its capital improvement projects and implementation of

BMPs such as minimization and elimination of contact of sourceý

materials with stormwater runoff.

The SPP Plan proposed in this draft permit will expand upon these

BMPs by instituting a number of management practices to ensure that

proper stormwater operations, maintenance procedures, and good

housekeeping practices are implemented at the facility to minimize

the contact between stormwater runoff and thefacility's



operations. The proposed SPP Plan conditions will consist of the

following requirements, at a minimum:

Establishing and maintaining a SPP Team;

Description of existing environmental management plans

including the Discharge Prevention Containment and

Countermeasures (DPCC) Plan, Discharge Cleanup and Removal

(DCR) Plan, and the Spill Prevention Control and

Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan;

Site assessment including an identification and assessment

of areas which have a: reasonable potential to contribute

pollutants to the stormwater runoff discharges; and

Selection and implementation of a BMP plan to eliminate or

reduce pollutant loadings into stormwater discharges

including the following;

- Inventory all contributions to the stormwater

discharges;

- Remove, cover or control industrial activity;

- Divert stormwater;.

Spill prevention and response;



Good housekeeping;

Preventative maintenance including structural controls

and stabilization; and

Inspections and evaluations.

The SPP Plan proposed in this draft permit includes BMPs to prevent

stormwater* contamination through the elimination of exposure,

during and after storm events, of industrial materials, machinery,

waste products, and other source materials located at the facility.

The BMP conditions imposed herein based on BPJ, will operate as

controls on the stormwater runoff to prevent contamination from the.

facility's operations and are intended to achieve Best Conventional

Pollutant Control Technology (BCT) and BAT. Imposing a requirement

to prevent pollution from occurring in the first place, as opposed

to requiring treatment or control once pollution has occurred, is

intuitively more protective of public health and natural resources

and therefore as, if not more, stringent than the numeric effluent

limitations and monitoring conditions established in the existing


act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411

Page 71 of 87 Pages

permit. The Department is proposing to require compliance with an

SPP Plan instead of compliance with numeric limitations based on

the results of the DMR data collected subsequent to the

installation of capital projects designed to control stormwater and

recognition of the USEPA's and NJDEP's belief that controlling

stormwater pollution through.SPP Plans is a more appropriate and

effective means of achieving their goals.

Implementation schedules for all structural and non-structural BMPs

including a schedule(s) for removal, coverage, minimization of

S exposure of source materials to stormwater, and/or stormwater

diversion or treatment shall be included in the SPP Plan. The SPP

Plan shall be developed and submitted to the Department within 6

months of the effective date of the permit. The SPP Plan shall be

implemented within three months of concurrence by the Department.

The SPP Plan shall provide that those BMPs (e.g. spill response,

good housekeeping) that may readily be implemented shall be done so

within 30 days, if not already practiced. The permittee shall be

required to provide certification relative to the accuracy of and

compliance with the SPP Plan during initial submittal, upon


S %act Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411

implementation, and annually thereafter. The Stormwater Inspection

Report shall be required annually after implementation. See Part

IV-RF for certification methods.

5. Special Permit Conditions

A. Acute Toxicity Characterization Study

The permittee is required to perform an Acute Toxicity

Characterization Study by conducting definitive f low-

through or definitive static renewal acute toxicity tests

(bioassays) on its wastewater discharged at the cooling

tower blowdown (DSN 461A) after completion of the DSN 462B

rerouting modification. The requirements for the Acute

Toxicity Characterization Study are included in accordance

with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-2.5(a)10 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-2.6 to

provide data on potential acute effects of the effluent on

the survival of the test species. The Department will use

the results of the Acute toxicity characterization study,

along with other site-specific discharge information, to


0 pact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 73 of 87 Pages

perform a reasonable potential analysis in accordance with

40 CFR 122.44(d) (1) (ii) and the TSD to determine if the

permit needs to be modified to incorporate a water quality

based whole effluent toxicity limitation in accordance with

40 CFR 122.44(d) (1) (iii).

Acute toxicity test procedures shall conform to the

"Regulations Governing the Certification of Laboratories

and Environmental Measurements" (N.J.A.C. 7:18-1 sect_).

Subchapter 7 and N.J.A.C 7:18-9.5 of the regulations

contains the criteria and procedures for acute toxicity

testing and analysis. The laboratory performing acute

toxicity testing shall be within the laboratory

certification program included within those regulations.

Test results shall be expressed in terms of the mortalities

in each effluent concentration and the median lethal

concentration (LC50) with confidence interval, if they can

be calculated. The test species required is the Mysid

(Mysidopsis bahia)..



The monitoring frequency shall be one test each quarter for

at least four consecutive quarters. The first test shall

be conducted no later than EDP + 15 months. The Acute

Toxicity Characterization Study shall not be completed

until four tests, which are acceptable to the Department,

have been completed.

B. Chronic Toxicity Characterization Study

The requirements for the Chronic Toxicity Characterization

Study are included in accordance with N.J.A.C.

7:14A-2.5(a)10 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-2.6 and to provide data

on potential chronic effects of the effluent on. the

survival, growth, and/or reproduction of the two test

species. The results of the Study will also determine

which of the two test species is consistently most

sensitive to the effluent. Multi-species testing is

imposed in accordance with N..J.A.C. 7:9-4.5(f)l.i and

recommendations in the Technical Support Document for Water

Quality-based Toxics Control (USEPA 1991; EPA-505/2-90-001,

0 DRAFT - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY


March, 1991).

The Permittee shall perform a Chronic Toxicity

Characterization Study on its wastewater discharged at the

cooling tower blowdown (DSN 461A) after completion of the

DSN 462B rerouting modification. Permittee shall conduct

all testing in conformance with the guidelines contained in

the "Chronic Toxicity Testing Specifications .for use in the.

NJPDES Permit Program, Version 2.0, February 1996". The

laboratory performing the chronic toxicity testing shall be

within, the existing acute toxicity testing laboratory

certification program established under N.J.A.C. 7:18-6.

Chronic toxicity tests shall be conducted concurrently with

split samples, using the 7 day larval survival and growth

test for the test species Sheepshead minnow (cvprinodon

varieratus) and Mysid(Mysidopsis bahia). Test results

shall be expressed as the NOEC (No Observable Effect

Concentration), the LOEC (Lowest Observable Effect

Concentration), and IC25 (25% Inhibition Concentration) for



each test endpoint.

The first test shall be conducted no later than EDP + 15

months. Subsequent tests shall be conducted quarterly for

at least four consecutive quarters. The chronic toxicity

characterization study shall not be complete until four

tests, using split samples on the two species have been

completed.

C. Dilution Study

The Federal Clean Water Act, as amended, mandates that the

States include water quality-based effluent limitations in

NPDES permits, if there is a reasonable potential for the

effluent to cause an exceedance of the instream water

quality standards. To enable the Department to determine

the need for water quality-based effluent limitations, the

Permittee may be required to perform a Dilution Study.

A Dilution Study shall be conducted for the cooling tower



blowdown, DSN 461A, if the effluent from that outfall

exhibits toxicity (LC 50 <100% or NOEC <100%) during the

chronic or acute toxicity study testing.

If Permittee is required to conduct a Dilution Study,

Permittee shall a submit Dilution Study Work Plan for the

outfall to the Department within 90 days after submittal of

the chronic or acute toxicity testing report in which the

respective discharge exhibits toxicity. The model to be

utilized in the Dilution Study and the basis for selection

of this model shall be identified in the Dilution Study

work plan.

In addition, the "critical period(s)" - a period of minimal

dilution and/or maximum environmental impact on aquatic

life and the designated uses of the receiving water body -

shall be identified by the Permittee in the Dilution Study

Work Plan(s). The Permittee shall commence field work for

any Dilution Study during the first designated "critical

period" which occurs at least 90 days after approval by the


S 1Fact Sheet/Basis


Department of any Dilution Study Work Plan.

The Permittee shall submit to the Chief, Bureau of Standard

Permitting, a report of the results obtained from the

Dilution Study within 6 months of the date the Permittee

completes field work for the Dilution Study.

D. Service Water Bypass

The service water system normally provides makeup water, to

the cooling tower and discharges through DSN 461A. Due to

nuclear safety requirements, the service water system must

remain operable. To facilitate necessary plant

maintenance, the permittee is authorized to temporarily

redirect service water to discharge through DSN 463A. The

addition of sodium hypochlorite (or any other chemical

biocide) shall be terminated during the bypass discharge.

The following conditions must be met by the permittee:


'OFact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 79 of 87 Pages

1. Provide written notification to the Chief, Bureau of

Standard Permitting and the Southern Bureau of Water

and Hazardous Waste Enforcement prior to the bypass

discharge. This notification shall include the

expected dates of the bypass, confirmation that sodium

hypochlorite addition to the service water will be

terminated during the bypass, and a brief description

of the reason the bypass is necessary.

2. Provide oral notification to the Southern Bureau of

Water and Hazardous Waste Enforcement at least 24 hours

prior to commencing the bypass discharge.

The permittee has also provided notification to the

Department of the periodic anticipated bypass of service

water through DSN 463A during service water pump swaps

(changeouts) and system transients. The service water pump

swaps and resultant bypasses are necesary to ensure

sufficient service water cooling volumes to satisfy nuclear

safety design parameters during periods of increased river

temperatures during summer months. The addition of sodium

hypochlorite (or other biocide) to the service water system

is terminated during these bypass conditions and the bypass

is anticipated to occur for approximately 15 seconds. The

Department proposes to authorize these bypass operations

without any additional notification requirements based on

the termination of biocide addition to the service water

system and the short duration of the anticipated bypass.

E. Flow Measurement using Rhodamine WT Dye

The permittee has previously used and anticipates further

use of Rhodamine WT dye as a tracer in connection with flow

measurement testing of the cooling tower related systems.

The dye is discharged to the Delaware River through DSN

461A. The Department has reviewed the requests to discharge

Rhodamine WT dye during periodic flow measurement testing

on- several occasions and determined that approval to



proceed was appropriate. This permit proposes to authorize

the periodic discharge of Rhodamine WT dye to facilitate

Station maintenance without the need for individual

approvals for each use. This dye will discharge to the

Delaware River through outfall DSN 461A. The following

conditions must be met by the permittee:

1. Provide written notification to the Chief, Bureau of

Standard Permitting and the Southern Bureau of Water

and Hazardous Waste Enforcement prior to the use of

Rhodamine WT dye. This notification shall identify the

expected dates of the discharge, the expected

concentration of Rhodamine WT dye to be added, and the

expected concentration of Rhodamine WT dye in the

effluent.

2. Provide oral notification to the Southern Bureau of

Water and Hazardous Waste Enforcement at least 24 hours

prior to commencing the discharge of Rhodamine WT dye.

3. Within thirty (30) days of completion of the flow

measurement testing,, provide written notification of

completion to the Chief, Bureau'of Standard Permitting

and tp the Southern Bureau of Water and Hazardous Waste

Enforcement.. This notification shall include the

actual dates of the discharge, the actual concentration

of Rhodamine WT dye in the effluent at DSN 461A,' and

the total quantity of Rhodamine WT dye added.

F. Cooling Tower Anti-Scalant

The current NJPDES Permit authorizes the use of an anti-scalant

containing phosphorus in the Cooling Tower system. At the

present time, the permittee is not adding this anti-scalant but

may require future additions to protect the mechanical

integrity of the Cooling Tower system. If ant-scalant addition

is required in the future, the permittee shall notify the

Bureau of Standard Permitting prior to initiation of addition

of the anti-scalant containing phosphorus. Upon approval from

the Department, the permittee shall be allowed to add the anti-


OFact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411Page 83 of 87 Pages

scalant containing phosphorus and be required to monitor and

report the phosphorus concentration from DSN 461A. Monitoring

shall be conducted monthly by grab sample.

EXPRESSION OF LIMITATIONS FOR DSNs 461A. 461C. AND 462B

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.14(f), process wastewater

limitations for conventional, non-conventional, and toxic

pollutants are expressed in terms of mass based on the long term

average effluent flow except as provided by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.14(f)l., when applicable. Mass limitations are not appropriate

when the mass of the pollutant discharged cannot be related to a

measure of operation and permit conditions ensure that dilution.

will not be used as a substitute for treatment.

DSN 461C is an internal monitoring point with significant

fluctuations in effluent flow rates not based on plant production

but based primarily on precipitation events; therefore, the

imposition of mass limitations for this outfall was deemed

inappropriate. Final effluent limitations for this outfall are


'*Fact Sheet/BasisPermit No. NJ0025411

B-Page 84 of 87 Pages

expressed only on a concentration basis and the Department has

determined that dilution will not be used as a substitute for

treatment.

Although the wastewater discharges for DSNs 461A and 462B are

continuous, the flow rates of these discharges are subject *to

substantial fluctuations, which are primarily dependent on

meteorological conditions (which impacts cooling/makeup water

requirements) and the site population (which largely varies with

plant maintenance activities, holidays and refueling). Based on

the range of fluctuation in flow rates not related to a measure of

operations, mass limitations have been deemed inappropriate for

these outfalls. All effluent limitations for DSNs 461A and 462B

are expressed only on a concentration basis with the exception of

BOD5 at DSN 462B which is based on the loading allocation of the

Delaware River Basin Commission.

fl Facility Overview:

The facility is classified as a major discharger by the Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in accordancewith the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rating criteria. The facility's estimated combined longterm average flow is 48.2 million gallons per day (MGD).

The Hofpe Creek Generating Station, hereafter "Hope Creek" or "The Station" is located in Lower Alloways CreekTownship, Salem County, New Jersey, at River Mile 51 on the Delaware River Estuary, 17 miles south of theDelaware Memorial Bridge. The Station is located on a projection of land known as Artificial Island on the easternshore of the Delaware Estuary. The estuary in the area of the Station is approximately 2.5 miles wide. The tidal flowof the estuary past the Station is approximately 400,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 259,000 million gallons per day(MGD). The estuary in the vicinity of the station is characterized by variable salinity, tidal currents and a highquantity of particulate material suspended in the water column.

Hope Creek is a single unit nuclear power steam electric generating facility. In addition to the generating station, theHope Creek site contains associated buildings and structures, a sewage treatment plant, an electrical switchyard,parking areas, roads, and equipment laydown areas. Riprap and bulkheads protect the shore from erosion. HopeCreek Unit 1 is a boiling water reactor design. The boiling water reactor has two major cooling systems, namely thereactor system and the cooling water system. Hope Creek operates with a non-contact, closed cycle cooling watersystem.

The construction of Hope Creek was completed in 1986 and the Station has a US Nuclear Regulatory Commission(USNRC) license to operate until 2026. Hope Creek is designed to operate continuously at the licensed thermal

)power rating -as a base-loaded electrical generating unit. Hope Creek's electrical output is approximately 1049Megawatts Electric net Maximun Dependable Capacity (MDC), which reflects the 1.4 % increase in power licensedby the USNRC.

As described in the permittee's application, the nuclear reaction process produces heat which is transferred to theWreactor water that creates steam in the reactor vessel. The steam enters the high-pressure turbine, then the three low~

pressure turbines which causes them to rotate. This rotation is transferred to the generator which generates electricity.The exhausted steam leaves the turbines and enters the main condenser, where it is condensed by cooling from thecirculating water system that is contained inside the condenser tubes. As this is a non-contact cooling water system,the steam and circulating waste are isolated from each other. The condensed steam is purified and returned to thereactor for reuse in the generation of steam.

Several figures and diagrams have been included in an effort to better describe the facility. These include a SiteLocation Map, Schematic of Water Flow for the Facility, General Site Map, Diagram of a Cooling Tower, Diagram ofthe Service Water Intake, Schematic for DSN 461A, and Schematic for DSN 462B. All figures have been includedat the end of this Fact Sheet.

Summary of Station Cooling Water Systems, Station Intakes and Wastewater Components:

Circulating Water System and Cooling Tower OperationThe circulating water system is a non-contact cooling water system that transports excess heat from the. condensers tothe cooling tower for dissipation. The cooling tower is a natural draft, counterfiow, evaporative type which is 432 feetin diameter at the base and 512 feet high. The cooling tower basin contains approximately 9 million gallons of waterand, with the volume of the circulating water system, provides an operating volume of I11 million gallons. In thecirculating water system, the four circulating water pumps draw water from the cooling tower basin, pump the waterthrough the main condensers, where it picks up excess heat from the steam, and return the circulating water to thecooling tower above the fill through a distribution system. As the circulating water falls back to the cooling tower~basin over the fill, heat is transferred from the circulating water to the air that is naturally drafted counter to the

SCirculating water flow. This transfer of heat allows, the circulating water to be reused. Since there is some evaporativeW"loss, solids from the* Delaw.are Estuary concentrate in the cooling tower basin and continuous blowdown is used to

control this concentration. Makeup water to replace the evaporative* losses and the continuous blowdown back to theDelaware Estuary is provided by the service water system.

The function of the cooling tower is to reduce the temperature of the circulating water entering the cooling tower to alower temperature, so that it can be recycled for further use. Natural draft cooling towers are essentially static deviceswhich rely on the design of the' tower and operation of the laws of thermodynamics to accomplish the cooling ofcirculating Water. The cooling tower is least efficient for removing heat when the wet bulb temperature is high and therelative humidity is low. The cooling tower utilizes tool ambient air in such a way that the heat is transferred from thehot water to the cool air through both latent heat transfer and, to a lesser extent, sensible heat transfer. When warmwater contacts cool air in the tower, the air is warmed because it receives sensible heat from the water; the water, inturn, loses sensible heat and is cooled. As the air is warmed, it also becomes lighter. The difference in specific weightbetween the air inside and outside the cooling tower causes the natural draft effect through the tower. The actualtransfer of heat from the water to the air is accomplished primarily in the fill, where warm water is passed downwardin very thin films through a stream of air moving upward as a result of the natural draft. The fill is designed tomaximize the surface area of the water exposed to air, thereby maximizing the. amount of evaporation that occurs. Thewarmed, moist air is then drawn upward through the drift eliminators which contain wave-shaped passages designedto reduce the amount of water leaving the tower as droplets with the warmed air. By causing the air to changedirection, the drift eliminators collect many of the water droplets carried by the air. The warm air is then dischargedinto the atmosphere and cooled water falls to the cooling tower basin to be recycled in this closed-loop coolingsystem.

Service Water SystemO )The service water system provides Estuary water to cool the Safety Auxiliary Cooling System and the. ReactorAuxiliary Cooling System heat exchangers. The safety auxiliary cooling system is a nuclear safety-related coolingsystem designed to provide cooling water to the engineered safety features. equipment during normal and emergency

NJPDES # : NJ002541 I

plant conditions. The reactor auxiliary cooling system provides cooling water to the reactor subsystems during normal"plant operations. After cooling these two systems, the service water is directed to the cooling tower basin for makeup

water. If the cooling tower is not in service, the service water can bypass the cooling tower and discharge directly tothe cooling tower blowdown line.

Service Water System IntakeThe service water intake structure is located on the shoreline, approximately 800 feet due west of the reactor building.The intake occupies approximately 112 feet of shoreline, extends 75 feet inland, and rises 35 feet above grade(excluding the gantry crane). The west face of the intake is parallel to and flush with the shoreline. The intakestructure is constructed of reinforced concrete and seismically designed for nuclear safety purposes. The intakeconsists of eight bays where four of the bays are used to support Hope Creek, the other four bays were designed forthe cancelled Hope Creek Unit 2 and are idle. The front of the intake contains a continuous line of trash racks andassociated trash rakes and a skimmer wall. Each of the eight bays is equipped with its own traveling screen, servicewater pump, service .water strainer, and associated equipment. A description of the intake structure components isincluded below.

" Trash RacksThe trash racks are located in front of the intake structure to prevent heavy debris from entering the intake anddamaging the traveling screens. They are constructed of coated carbon steel, three inches deep and 0.75 inch wideand are set on three inch centers. Mechanical rakes remove collected debris which is aggregated in trash containersfor off-site disposal. The bottom of the trash racks, are at elevation 70 ft (PSD). Velocity through the trash racks isapproximately 0.1 foot per second. The skimmer wall is designed to prevent the entrance of an oil slick or ice,velocity under the skimmer wall is approximately 0.35 .foot per second.

0 Traveling ScreensAfter passing through the trash racks, intake water flows through vertical traveling screens of a modified Ristroph Wdesign at approximately 0.39 ft/sec. Each traveling screen is a continuous linkage of framed baskets. Each basket isapproximately 2.5 feet high and 8.33 feet wide and the screening material is No.14 W&M gage monel wire meshwith 0.375 inch square openings. Each basket has a trough (fish bucket) on the lower lip designed to prevent re-impingement of fish and provide the mechanism to return fish to the Delaware Estuary. The fish buckets alloworganisms to remain in the water while being lifted to the fish return trough. As the traveling screen panel travelsover the head sprocket of the traveling screen, low pressure sprays (less then 20 psi) wash the organisms into the

.fish return trough. As the traveling screen panel, traverses further, high pressure sprays (approximately 90 psi)remove the remaining debris into the debris trough. The fish and debris troughs are combined and returned to theDelaware Estuary at a distance from the intake to reduce the potential for re-impingement on the screens.

" Service Water PumpsAfter passing through the traveling screen, the intake water enters the respective service water pump. Each servicewater pump is a vertical, wet-pit, turbine type, centrifugal pump rated at 16,500 gallons per minute. Sodiumhypochlorite is continuously added at the suction of the service water pumps as a biocide to prevent.fouling.

* Service Water StrainersService water next passes through the service water strainers where smaller particles and debris are removed. Theservice water strainers are full-flow, self-cleaning, strainers withnominally 250-380 micron elements. The strainerscontinuously backwash when the associated service water pump is operating and the backwash water is dischargedin the debris trough. Strainer backwash water, traveling screen spray wash, and service water pump bearinglubrication water are drawn from the system after the service water strainers.

Miscellaneous Components that Discharge to the Receiving WatersAny leakage or drains within the building which houses the service water pumps, screens, strainers, and associatedequipment is directed to the building sumps which discharge to the Delaware Estuary along with the traveling w

NJPDES # : NJ002541 1

screen and strainer backwash waters. Since sodium hypochlorite is added to the suction side of the service waterpumps, residual chlorine may be present in the service water used to wash the screens and strainers or the sumps.

Wastewater Components for the Station - Station Outfalls and Discharge ComponentsThere are four outfalls associated with this facility and three internal monitoring points. Considering all theseoutfalls and internal monitoring points, only three outfalls/internal monitoring points have been assigned numericalpermit limitations. A description follows later in this fact sheet regarding the basis for regulation of each of thesepoints. Other outfalls are regulated by a separate authorization for stormwater or are covered by other monitoringpoints. While the permittee's stormwater discharges are currently regulated under Stormwater Pollution PreventionPlan requirements, the Department has determined it appropriate to regulate the stormwater discharges under theGeneral Stormwater Permit NJ0088315 which will be issued upon finalization of this draft renewal permit.

A tabular summary of each outfall and/or internal monitoring point is included below followed by a description:

River

Discharge Components of DSN 461A:The discharge flow from DSN 461A consists of cooling tower blowdown (46.9 MGD) with minor waste streamcontributions from the Low Volume and Oily Waste System (DSN.461C, 0.04 MGD), liquid radioactive waste system(DSN 461B, 0.06 MGD), and the Sewage Treatment System (DSN 462B, 0.02 MGD) as shown in the schematic forDSN 461A at the end of this fact sheet. Sediment which collects in the cooling tower basin is removed as necessaryfordisposal at an onsite dredge spoil area.

Service water is withdrawn through the service water intake as cooling tower make-up water (evaporative loss, fromthe cooling tower is 13 MGD). The service water entering the cooling tower is chlorinated to prevent biofouling,using sodium hypochlorite, at the service water intake. Additional sodium hypochlorite is added to the cooling towerbasin to prevent biofouling and biological growth. Ammonium bisulfite is added-in the-cooling tower blowdown todechlorinate the cooling tower blowdown before discharge to the Delaware Estuary. Sodium hydroxide is added to thecooling tower basin to protect the cooling tower structure and components. Boron used in the Station can enter thecirculating water, primarily in the condenser bay dewatering sump, and is discharged in the cooling tower blowdown.The station is equipped with a deicing line, which allows a small amount of heated water from the circulating watersystem or service water system to be directed to the service water intake to prevent icing during harsh winterconditions. This flow path bypasses the dechlorination system but is infrequently used and most of the water used fordeicing is returned to the system through the service water pumps.

NJPDES # NJ0025411

Discharge Components of DSN 461B:,"The liquid radioactive waste system is a low volume (0.06 MGD) wastewater source which mixes with the coolingtower blowdown, prior to the effluent monitoring point at DSN 461A. The liquid radioactive waste system is designedto process liquid waste streams from inside power generation facilities that may potentially contain radioactivity.PSEG states in its application that the treatment system contains all necessary equipment to meet both U.S. NuclearRegulatory Commission (USNRC) standards for the discharge of radioactivity and the applicable New Jersey StateWater Quality Standards. Much of the wastewater processed through the system is recycled back into a 500,000gallon condensate storage tank for reuse by the reactor water makeup systems.

The influent waste streams at DSN 461B include the following systems: equipment drain wastes; floor drain wastes;high conductivity wastes; chemical wastes; and detergent wastes. PSEG also states in its application that treatment ofliquid radioactive waste system influent is dependent on the source and type of wastewater received. Each of the five.types of influent waste streams is processed differently and can be routed through various components of thetreatment system. Wastewater is treated in a batch mode and not all wastewater is routed through every component ofthe treatment system. The various subsystems of the LRW treatment system have numerous cross connections toallow -operating flexibility. Wastewaters can also berecirculated back to collection tanks for reprocessing as needed.

Discharge Components of DSN 461C:The discharge from the internal monitoring point DSN 461C consists of effluent from the low volume oily wastesystem (0.04 MGD). The low volume oily waste system collects and treats potentially oily wastewater from area,building, and equipment drains throughout the site as well. as auxiliary boiler blowdown 'and miscellaneousstormwater sources. Most flows to the system are intermittent. Flows from containments and dikes are primarilyprecipitation but may include circulating or service water. Wastewater from the system is collected in one of two liftstations which have level operated pumps to transfer the wastewater to the treatment system. Collected waste streamsare processed through an API type oil water separator for removal of solid and floatable materials. Settleable solidsare removed from the waste stream by gravity separation and are transferred to the waste oil sludge holding tank. Ifthe residuals contain low levels of radioactivity, they are removed and disposed of at a USNRC licensed facility. Ifthe residuals do not contain low levels of radioactivity, they are removed and trucked offsite to a licensed disposal* facility. The system also has provisions for recycling of this sludge to aid in settling of influent wastewaters. Treatedeffluent is then discharged through the internal monitoring point DSN 461C (for which effluent limitations andmonitoring requirements are specified) prior to mixing with DSN 46 IA for discharge.

Discharge Components of DSN 462B:The discharge from the internal monitoring point DSN 462B consists of treated domestic wastewater from the SewageTreatment System (0.02 MGD). Influent to this system consists of domestic wastewater from the Hope Creek andSalem facilities including administrative facilities and sewage holding facilities from unconnected buildings on-site.Influent wastewater and return activated sludge are introduced into the single channel oxidation ditch where extendedaeration is used to oxidize the organic constituents of the influent wastewater. This process acts to removebiochemical oxygen demand, reduce suspended solids, nitrify, and partially denitrify the wastewater. Rotor aeratorsare used to mix air into the contents of the basin and to keep the contents moving around the oxidation ditch.Following aeration, settling in the biological clarifiers is used to separate solids from the liquid flow. The settledsolids, or sludge, is either returned to the oxidation ditch or wasted to sludge holding tanks, based upon processrequirements. The liquid wastewater flows from the clarifiers to the sand filters or directly to the chlorinationfacilities. The deep-bed downflow gravity sand filters can be used to further reduce suspended solids. Filteredeffluent flows to the clearwell for use as filter backwash water or is discharged to the chlorination facilities. Thechlorination system is a flow-dependent tablet chlorination system (currently calcium hypochlorite tablets are used)followed by chlorine contact tanks to provide retention for the biocide to function. The effluent of the chlorinecontact tanks flows over a cascading weir to the effluent pump lift station. Level-controlled effluent pumps transfer

jthe treated water (0.02 MGD) to DSN 461A for discharge to the Delaware Estuary. Residual dechlorination chemical(ammonium bisulfite) that is in the cooling tower blowdown acts to dechlorinate the sewage treatment systemeffluent. Settled solids or sludge is removed from the waste stream to the sludge holding tank for aeration and

Yard Drains (DSN's 463A, 464A, 465A):The North Yard Drain (DSN 465A) collects and discharges (0.24 MGD) site drainage from the following areas: thefacility parking lots, centralized warehouse roof drain, loading ramp catch basins, auxiliary boiler roof drains, firewater pump house, No. 2 Reactor Building roof and area drains, materials center area and roof drains, constructionand excavation dewatering, and runoff from other miscellaneous sources. The North Yard Drain system may containprecipitation, river water or groundwater (including fresh water and potable water), but the effluent consists primarilyof Delaware Estuary water, largely due to the tidal influence. The sewage treatment system (DSN 462B) emergencyoverflow can discharge through this outfall but the sewage treatment system is monitored independently.Containments and other catch basins which collect precipitation or other sources of water are first evaluated forpollutants prior to any release to the North Yard Drain system.

DSN 465A had been identified as DSN 462A in the NJPDES permit application. The Department has renamed thisoutfall as DSN 465A. This change has been made because two ouffalls can not be assigned to the same numericaldesignation in the NJEMS database. In other words, the NJEMS database will not accept "DSN 462B" (which is thedesignation for the internal sanitary discharge monitoring location) and DSN 462A (North Yard drain discharge).Since DSN 462B has a regulatory history where limits and monitoring conditions have been set including thecollection of data, the Department has chosen to maintain this designation for DSN 462B, but to change thedesignation for DSN 462A to DSN 465.

The South Yard Drain (DSN 463A) collects and discharges (0.51 MGD) site drainage from the following areas: theSecurity Center roof, drain and parking lot, roof and area drains from the Administrative Building, Auxiliary Boiler,

*- Turbine Building, Reactor Building, Materials Center, and Services Facility Building, safety shower, as well as theChlorine Structure drains, service water valve pit, dewatering sump, construction and excavation dewatering, andrunoff from other miscellaneous sources. The South Yard Drain system may contain precipitation, river water orgroundwater (including fresh water and potable water), but the effluent consists primarily of Delaware Estuary water,largely due to the tidal influence. Containments and isolated catch basins, which collect precipitation or other sourcesof water, are first evaluated for pollutants then released to the yard drain system. The evaluation includes adetermination based on the source of the water and the potential for pollutant presence and then, if appropriate, thewater is analyzed prior to release. For example, the service water'sodium hypochlorite tank containment may containprecipitation, fresh water, and service water and contain low concentrations of chlorine residual. Service water canalso be discharged via DSN 463A on an emergency basis. This bypass discharge happens infrequently and has notoccurred since 1998.

The perimeter drain (DSN 464) collects and discharges (0.41 MGD) site drainage and runoff from the followingareas: access road area, Administration Building roof drains and parking lots, Combo Shop roof drains, catch basins inundeveloped portions of the site, groundwater infiltration, natural drainage from the adjacent marshes, and drainagefrom areas external to the Hope Creek site. Due to the facility elevations and proximity to the River, this outfall isalso tidally influenced.

Description of the Receiving Water and Outfall Locations:

Treated and untreated wastewater is discharged through discharge serial number (DSN) 461A to the Delaware River.The discharge through DSN 461A includes effluent from the internal monitoring points DSN 461B, 461C and 462B.The Delaware. River is classified as Zone 5 at the point of discharge in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:9B- 1 et seq. Theoutfall configuration for DSN 461A is a 48" diameter pipe.

Type and Quantity of the Wastes or Pollutants:

The Permit Summary Table at the end of this fact sheet contains a summary of the quantity and quality of pollutantstreated and discharged from the facility and the proposed effluent limitations. Effluent data was obtained from thefacility's Monitoring Report Forms f6r the time period specified in the table and the permittee's application.

Summary of Permit Conditions:

The existing and proposed effluent limitations and other pertinent information regarding the draft permit are describedbelow:

A.' Basis for Effluent Limitations and Permit Conditions - General:

The effluent limitations and permit conditions in this permit have been developed to ensure compliance with thefollowing:

1. NJPDES Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:14A)2. New Jersey Surface Water Quality Standards (N.J.A.C. 7:9B)3. Requirements of the Delaware River Basin Commission (N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(b)l)4. Wastewater Discharge Requirements (N.J.A.C. 7:9-5.1 et seq.),5. Secondary Treatment Standards (40 CFR Part 133, N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2 and -12.3)6. Existing permit limitations in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19 and Section 402 of the federal Clean

r.,Water Act (antibacksliding requirements)7. Permit limitations in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(d) (antidegradation requirements)8. Statewide Water Quality Management Planning Rules (N.J.A.C. 7:15).9. Technology Based Treatment Requirements or Effluent Limitation Guidelines Requirements (N.J.A.C.

7:14A-13.2 to 13.4)10. Sludge Quality Assurance Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:14C)

Technology based limitations are authorized by Section 301 of the Clean Water Act, 40 CFR 122, N.J.S.A. 58:1 OA-4,and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.2(a)l.ii., 13.3(b), and 13.4. In general, effluent limitations are based on Effluent LimitationGuidelines (ELGs), developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), or on case-by-caselimitations developed through a Best Professional Judgment (BPJ) analysis in cases where ELGs are not available orappropriate. ELGs are minimum technology based requirements applicable on a nation-wide basis. ELGs considerthe category of industry that produce common pollutants taking into account the specific factors unique to a particulartype of industry (manufacturing process, type and quantity of pollutants generated, types of treatment facilitiesavailable to treat the pollutants, etc.). ELGs are published in 40 CFR Subchapter N. BPJ determinations areauthorized by Section 402 (a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 13.5, Water Quality Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) are imposed when it has. been determined that the discharge of a pollutant causes an excursion of the New Jersey Surface Water Quality

Standards (SWQS), N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.1 et seq., and the Federal Water Quality Standards, 40 CFR Part 131. WQBELsare authorized by Section 301 of the Clean Water Act, 40 CFR 122, N.J.S.A. 58:10A-4, and N.J.A.C. 7:14A- 13.2 and13.3. The policies used to develop WQBELs are contained in the State and Federal Standards. Specific procedures,

Expression of all effluent limitations is in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.14 and 13.15.

Whole effluent toxicity limitations are expressed as a minimum as a percent.

B. Basis and Derivation for Effluent Limitations - Specific:

Discharee Serial Number 461A

1. Flow - Intake and Effluent: This permit does not include a numerical limitation for effluent flow. Monitoringand reporting conditions for effluent flow as a monthly average and daily maximum are applied pursuant toN.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.13. Monitoring and reporting conditions for intake flow are being included to document thewithdrawal flow volumes which are a factor in the Department's determination under Section 316(b) of the CleanWater Act. Monitoring for both intake and effluent flow is required on a continuous basis using a flow meter.

2. Total Organic Carbon (TOC): Net TOC has been retained in this permit as a monitoring requirement. Dailymaximum and monthly average monitoring is required for Net TOC. Because this limit and monitoringrequirement is imposed on a net basis, gross and intake TOC values shall also be monitored and reported. TOCshall be monitored on a monthly basis where grab sample types shall be used for intake and effluent TOC. NetTOC values shall be calculated based on the equation included in Part IV.

The Department recognizes that the permittee has requested deletion, of the TOC limit and monitoringrequirement based on data (4/1/97 - 3/30/01) which shows an average net TOC value of - 0.02 mg/L and a

* maximum. net TOC value of 6.0 mg/L. While the Department agrees that recent data shows consistentcompliance with the permit limits, the Department has determined that TOC has the potential to be present in thedischarge due to the various additives the permittee uses in its cooling tower operation as well as in otherwastestreams that are discharged through DSN 461A. As such, the Department has determined it appropriate toretain the TOC monitoring requirements. The Department has also determined, that a monthly monitoringfrejquency is appropriate given the significant flow volume that is discharged through DSN 461 A.

3. Temperature - Intake and' Effluent: Monitoring for intake temperature is retained from the existing permitpursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Reporting as a monthly average and daily maximum is required for intaketemperature. Monitoring for intake temperature is required on a year-round (January through December)continuous basis.

A daily maximum effluent limitation of 97.1 degrees Fahrenheit (36.2. degrees Celsius) for effluent temperatureis retained from the existing permit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Reporting as a monthly average isalso required for effluent temperature. Monitoring for effluent temperature is required on a year-round (Januarythrough December) continuous basis.

Fact dsw.rtf



In the -event of certain meteorological conditions, the permittee may not be able to. attain the effluenttemperature limit of 97.1 degrees so the Department has determined it appropriate that an alternate temperaturelimit shall apply under such meteorological conditions. This is due to the fact that the efficiency of the HopeCreek cooling tower is affected by certain meteorological conditions. Therefore, if these certain meteorologicalconditions occur, the permittee is not required to meet the daily maximum effluent limitation of 97.1 degreesFahrenheit but instead is required to monitor for temperature as well as other information; These meteorologicalconditions and other reporting requirements are as follows:

Given a coincident occurrence of wet bulb temperature that exceeds 760 F and a relative humidity below 60 %during a given day for a period equal to or greater then 60 minutes, the daily maximum temperature limit doesnot apply and monitoring only is required. If these two conditions for wet bulb temperature and relativehumidity occur, as well as an exceedance of the temperature limit of 97.1 degrees Fahrenheit at DSN 461A,the permittee is required to submit a chart with columns for the following data for each hour of that day; (1)Cooling Tower Blowdown flow (gpm); (2) Intake Temp; (3) Blowdown Temp (0F); (4) AT (7F) MBTU/Hour;(6) Dry Bulb Temp (0F); (7) Dew Point Temp (°F); (8) Wet Bulb Temp (°F); and (9) Relative Humidity (%).Dry bulb temperature, dew point, barometric pressure and wind speed and direction are measured at 15-minute intervals at Hope Creek's meteorological Station. Wet bulb temperature and relative humidity arecomputed using measurements of dry bulb temperature and dew point with a numerical algorithm that relatesthe dependence of wet bulb temperature and relative humidity on dew point, dry bulb temperature, andatmospheric pressure. In the event that data are not available from the Hope Creek meteorological Tower,then PSEG may utilize data collected at the Wilmington meteorological Station (Wilmington). The use ofanother alternative source (other than Hope Creek meteorological Tower data or Wilmington meteorogicalStation) must be approved in advance by the NJDEP and duly noted on the DMR. The permitee must retainrecords of the Wilmington data or any other data in its DMR back up file for the term specified by theapplicable provisions of the NJPDES regulations.

This alternate temperature condition was originally included in a modification to the existing permit datedOctober 9,2000 (effective December 1, 2000). This meteorological condition has only occurred one time and forone day on July 5, 1999 where an effluent limit of 36.7 degrees Celsius (98.0 degrees Fahrenheit) was achieved..

4. Heat Rate: A daily maximum effluent limitation for heat rate of 662 MBTU/Hr is retained from the existingpexmit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19 for September through May. A daily maximum effluentlimitation for heat rate. of 534 MBTU/Hr is retained from the existing permit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19 for June through August. Reporting as a monthly average is also required for heat rate from Septemberthrough May as well as for June through August. Heat Rate shall be calculated on a daily basis as the product ofheat capacity, effluent flow and discharge to intake temperature difference as indicated in Part IV.

5. pH. A daily minimum pH limitation of 6.0 standard units and a daily maximum pH limitation of 9.0 standardunits are retained from the existing permit and are applied in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Monitoringshall be performed on a weekly basis using a grab sample type.

6. Chlorine Produced Oxidants: A monthly average effluent limitation for chlorine produced oxidants (CPO) of 0.2mg/L and a daily maximum effluent limitation of 0.5 mg/L are retained from the existing permit in accordancewith N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. These limitations were originally based on the Effluent Limitation Guidelines for theSteam Electric Category (40 CFR Section 423) for cooling tower blowdown. A narrative condition has beenretained from the existing permit, which states that CPO may not be discharged from any operating unit for morethan two hours in any one day. Monitoring shall be performed on a continuous basis using a meter sample type.

) The Department recognizes that the existing permit requires the permittee to sample "three times per week" witha grab sample type. However, given the amount of discharge volume, the Department has determined it moreappropriate to sample on a continuous basis. To allow the permittee some time to install the necessary continuousmeters, the continuous sample type does not become effective until the effective date of the permit plus one year.

NJPDES # NJO025411

'7. Phosphoruý: The existing permit specifies monitoring for phosphorus where this monitoring is conditional on thepermittee using an anti-scalant agent that contains phosphorus. Specifically, this provision allowed for the use ofan agent containing phosphorus if such a treatment chemical was needed to protect the mechanical integrity of thecooling tower system.

There has been no use of phosphorus containing treatment chemicals during the course of this existing permitcycle (April 1, 1997 through March 31, 2002). Because the permittee does not anticipate use of a treatmentchemical that contains phosphorus in the future, the permittee has requested deletion of this conditionalphosphorus condition. The Department does not object to this request and therefore has deleted the phosphorusmonitoring condition. In the event that the permittee wishes to use a treatment chemical containing phosphorus inthe future, the Department shall be notified in accordance with item E. i.e. of Part IV.

Anti-Backsliding . Anti:Degradation: Because the permittee has no intention of using an anti-sealant agentcontaining phosphorus as authorized under the existing permit, deletion of this monitoring condition will notaffect the quantity of phosphorus in the permittee's discharge through DSN 461A nor will it affect the quality ofthe receiving waters with respect to phosphorus. As stated previously, the monitoring requirement for phosphoruswas conditional on the permittee using an anti-scalant agent. This monitoring condition was hever used duringthe course of the existing permit cycle since the permittee has not used an anti-scalant agent containingphosphorus.

8. Total Suspended Solids and Oil and Grease: In the existing February 14, 1997 permit, the Department requiredthe permittee to conduct a total suspended solids (TSS) study. The purpose of this study was to assess thepermittee's -effluent discharge of total suspended solids in order to determine the need for additional restrictionson TSS. This study also required the permittee to collect influent data. This study required the permittee to

N• determine if the cooling tower system was quantitatively changing the volume of total solids from the influent.This study, dated October 22, 1999, concludes that a statistically significant change (namely a mean differencefrom 0 mg/L) in the 24-hour concentration of TSS in the influent and effluent concentrations was not measured.Similarly, a statistically significant change in the average mass rate of TSS in the effluent and influent was notmeasured.

Based on the results of this study, the Department has concluded that effluent limitations for TSS are notwarranted at this time. It should be noted that a New Jersey Surface Water Quality Standard for total suspendedsolids does not exist at this time for saline waters.

The Department did not impose effluent limitations or monitoring for oil and grease in the February 14, 1997permit at DSN 461A. This was based on the nature of the operations involved at the site and the effluent sampleresults which showed that all reported values were less than 1 mg/L at DSN 46 IA. Therefore, the Departmentconcluded in that 1997 permit action that the discharge at DSN 461A has a low potential to exceed the effluentstandards at N.J.A.C. 7:14A- 12.8.

The Department has determined that oil and grease effluent limitations and rnrqitoring requirements continue tobe unnecessary at DSN 461A based on available data and the wastewater characteristics at DSN 461A. However,the Department has included a narrative condition in Part IV stating that the effluent shall not exhibit a visiblesheen at DSN 461A.

Please note that although effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for oil and grease have not beenincluded at DSN 46 1A, effluent limitations for oil and grease have been included at DSN's 462B and 461 C both

) of which are internal monitoring points that discharge to DSN 461A. This is described later in the Fact Sheet.* Considering the nature of the wastewater components that are monitored at DSN's 462B and 461C, effluent

limitations and monitoring requirements for oil and grease are more appropriate at these internal locations.

9. Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET): Section 101(a) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes a national policy of\1 restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nation's waters. In addition,

section 101 (a)(3) of the CWA and the State's Surface Water Quality Standards (SWQS) at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-l.5(a)3state that the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts is prohibited. Further, 40 CFR 122.44(d) and N.J.A.C.7: 14A-13.6(a) require that where the Department determines using site-specific WET data that a discharge causes,shows a reasonable potential to cause, or contributes to an excursion above the SWQS, the permitting authoritymust establish effluent limits for WET. In order to satisfy the requirements of the CWA, the State's SWQS andthe NJPDES Regulations, the need for a water.quality based effluent limitation (WQBEL)-for WET was evaluatedfor this discharge.

The February 14, 1997 final permit included a requirement to conduct an acute and chronic toxicitycharacterization study for DSN 461A. The test results for this study are as follows:

Type of Test Date Results SpeciesAcute 8/25/98 >100% Mysidopsis bahiaAcute 1/13/99 >100% Mysidopsis bahiaAcute 4/20/99 >100% Mysidopsis bahiaAcute 6/8/99 >100% Mysidopsis bahiaChronic 8/25/98 >100% Mysidopsis bahiaChronic 8/25/98 >100% Sheepshead minnowChronic 12/1/98 >100% Mysidopsis bahiaChronic 12/1/98 >100% Sheepshead minnowChronic 4/20/99 >100% Mysidopsis bahiaChronic 4/20/99 >100% Sheepshead minnowChronic 6/8/99 >100% Mysidopsis bahiaChronic 6/8/99 >100% Sheepshead minnow

In a permit modification dated February 2, 2000, the Department informed the permitee that it had reviewed theresults of the acute and chronic toxicity characterization study and deemed them acceptable.

TheDepartment maintains that acute and chronic whole effluent toxicity requirements are not necessary at DSN461A at this time based on the results of the above referenced data where all results were >100%. Any futurerequirements for whole effluent toxicity would be issued in a permit modification which would be subject topublic comment and notice procedures in -accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-16.4.

5. Wastewater Characterization Requirement: Due to the presence of some metals (e.g. copper 191'gg/L; zinc 63.6gg/L; cadmium 0.59 gg/L) in the application data, the Department is requiring a wastewater characterizationrequirement (WCR) for these three metals :at this outfall. In addition, the Department is requiring additionalsampling for ammonia as a WCR requirement given the use of ammonium hydroxide as an additive and given therecently promulgated NJ .surface water quality standard for ammonia for saline waters. A minimum of foursamples are required to be obtained from the effective date of the permit (EDP) until EDP + 1 year on aquarterly basis. A composite sample type shall be utilized. In the event that these compounds are shown to bepresent at levels of concern, the Department reserves its right to reopen the permit to incorporate, additional.monitoring requirements and/or effluent limitations pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:-14A- 16.4.

Discharge Serial Number 462B

1. Flow: This permit does not include a numerical limitation for flow. Monitoring and reporting conditions for flowas a monthly average and daily maximum are applied pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A- 13.13. Monitoring for flow isrequired'on a continuous basis using a flow meter.

2. 5-day. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5): The monthly average effluent limitation of 8 kg/day has beenretained from the existing permit consistent with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. This limitation corresponds to the Firststage oxygen demand (FSOD), DRBC allocation of 9.5 kg/day (21 lbs/day). Weekly average reporting for BOD5has also been imposed. BOD 5 shall be monitored on a monthly basis where a composite sample type shall beused.

The Department has incorporated a monthly average concentration limit for BOD 5 of 30 mg/L and a weeklyaverage limit of 45 mg/L in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2 (b), the Secondary Treatment Standards.BOD5 concentration limits are routinely applied to sanitary discharges throughout the state and is particularlyappropriate for discharges where the flow volumes fluctuate over time (as is the case with the permittee).

The daily minimum BOD 5 percent removal limitation of 87.5% has been retained from the existing permitconsistent with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Monthly average monitoring and reporting has also been required in thisrenewal permit. BOD5 percent removal shall be calculated on a monthly basis.

effluent limitations are also consistent with N.SA.C. 7:14A-12.5. Fecal Coliform shall be monitored on amonthly basis using a grab sample type.

6. Chlorine Produced Oxidants (CPO): Although the permittee chlorinates at DSN 462B, the Department has notimposed a CPO limit at DSN 462B since this is an internal monitoring point. A CPO limit has been imposed atDSN 461A to control the discharge of CPO to the receiving waters.

7. Wastewater Characterization Requirement: Due to the presence of some metals (e.g. chromium 3.0 ýtg/L; copper76.8 ýtg/L; cadmium 0.52 gtg/L; nickel 5.9 tg/L;, zinc 302 ptg/L; and cyanide 14 j4g/L) in the application data,,theDepartment is. requiring a wastewater characterization requirement (WCR) for these metals at this outfall.Specifically, a minimum of four samples are required to be obtained from the effective date of the permit (EDP)until EDP + 1 year on a quarterly basis. A composite sample type shall be utilized. In the event that thesecompounds are shown to be present at levels of concern, the Department reserves its right to reopen the permit toincorporate additional monitoring requirements and/or effluent limitations pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-16.4.

Discharge Serial Numbers 463A, 464A, 465A

Areas of industrial activity exposed to stormwater include secondary containment for the aboveground storage tanks,construction and excavation dewatering, and drum storage areas. As a result, pH, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons(TPHG), and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) are pollutants of concern and will be monitored through this permit. Themonitoring requirements were derived from the 1978 EPA Region II Guidance for stormwater runoff from industrialsites, and NJPDES "Oil and Grease Effluent Limitations"(N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12). Semi-annual monitoring for pH,TPHC, and TOC are proposed.

Although DSN's 463A and 465A discharge primarily stormwater and tidal influx waters, the Department has includednarrative conditions at these outfalls to address the emergency discharge of cooling tower blowdown through DSN463A where this water is discharged via DSN's 463A and 465A. These narrative conditions are included in Part IV.

C. Influent Monitoring Requirements:

In order to calculate• percent removals for DSN 462B, influent monitoring is required for TSS and BOD5 inaccordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.5(b) and -11.2(a) 2 as specified in Part III.

D. Effluent Monitoring Requirements:

Monitoring frequencies and sample types are in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14, unless specified otherwise in thepermit. Monitoring frequencies for all parameters are based on N.J.A.C. 7: 14A-14.2(c)1. and are addressed for eachindividual parameter above.

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14.2, the permittee may submit a written request for a modification of the permitto decrease monitoring frequencies for non-limited parameters listed in Part III if site specific conditions indicate theapplicability of such a modification.

E. Recommended Quantitation Levels Policy (RQLs):

The Department developed the RQLs to insure that useful data is provided to the Department in order to characterizethe discharger's effluent. The Department recommends that the permittee achieve detection levels that are at least assensitive as the RQLs found in Part III. The Department has determined that the quantitation levels listed therein can,be reliably and consistently achieved by most state certified laboratories for most of the listed ,pollutants using theappropriate procedures specified in 40 CFR Part 136. FAILURE TO ATTAIN A QUANTITATION LEVEL ASSENSITIVE AS A LISTED RQL IS NOT A VIOLATION OF THE PERMIT, BUT DOES TRIGGER SOME

O ADDITIONAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PERMITTEE AS SPECIFIED IN PART IV OF THEPERMIT.

For the purposes of the WCR Requirements specified for DSN's 462B and 461C, the RQLs are based on DRBCrequirements. Specifically, the RQLs for zinc, copper, and lead are DRBC requirements and are more sensitive thanthose recognized by the Department since the DRBC has identified three metals that are a problem in the DelawareRiver. The RQLs for copper, lead, and zinc shall be 2 ug/L, 1 ug/L, and 10 ug/1 respectively.

F. Reporting Requirements:

All data requested to be submitted by this permit shall be reported on the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs),Waste Characterization Reports (WCR), and Residual Transfer Reports (RTR) as appropriate 'and submitted to theDepartment as required by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.8(a).

G. General conditions:

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-2.3 and 6. l(b), specific rules from the New Jersey Administrative Code have beenincorporated either expressly or by reference in Part I and Part II.

H. Operator Classification Number:

The operator classification requirement is no longer included in the permit. To obtain or determine the appropriatelicensed operator classification for the treatment works specified, the permittee shall contact the Bureau ofEngineering South at (609) 984-6840 to determine the appropriate licensed operator classification for the treatment

* ~ works specified.

I. Flow Related Conditions:

All flow related conditions are incorporated into the permit to. implement the Treatment Works Approval Program(N.J.A.C. 7:14A-22), the Capacity Assurance Program (N.J.A.C. 7:14A-22.16), the Sewer Ban Program (N.J.A.C.7:14A-9,2.17), the applicable Water Quality Management Plan (N.J.A.C. 7:15), the Delaware River BasinCommission Requirements (N.J.A.C. 7: 14A-2.3(b)), and the Sludge Quality Assurance Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:14-4).

This facility is recognized as part of the Lower Delaware Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) in accordancewith N.J.A.C. 7:14A-15.4(b); however, a specific numerical flow restriction is not included in the WQMP.

J. Residuals/Sludge Conditions:

The Limits and Monitoring Requirements in Part III will be deactivated upon issuance of the permit since thedomestic and industrial residuals generated at this site are currently managed at a Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) licensed or a NRC Agreement State licensed facility. In the event either source of residual is not managed as alow-level radioactive waste or as a hazardous waste, the appropriate Limits and Monitoring Requirements in Part IIIwill be activated. It will be the responsibility of the permittee to notify the Department to 'activate the Limits andMonitoring Requirements.

All treatment works with a discharge regulated under N.J.A.C. 7:114A must have permits that implement applicabletechnical standards for residual's management. Generally, the permit issued to the treatment works generating theresidual will include applicable residual quality monitoring as well as other general conditions required by. N.J.A.C.

/7:14A-6. In addition, the permit may include conditions related to any aspect of residual management developed on acase-by-case basis where the Department determines that such conditions are necessary to protect public health andthe environment.

NJPDES # NJ002541 I

)The permit may also include conditions establishing requirements for treatment works that send residual to otherfacilities for final use or disposal. Thus, ALL residual preparers (that is, generators as well as persons who managethe residual) are required to submit basic information concerning their residual use and disposal practices. This basicinformation is submitted by compliance with the Sludge Quality Assurance Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:14C).

The documents listed below have been used to establish the residual conditions of the Draft Permit:

a. United States Environmental Protection Agency "Standards for the use or disposal of sewage sludge" (40CFR Part 503),

b. "New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System" (N.J.A.C. 7:14A),c. Technical Manual for Residuals Management, May 1998,

-d. USEPA Part 503 Implementation Guidance, EPA 833-R-95-001, October 1995. This document is acompilation of federal requirements, management practices and EPA recommended permit conditions forsewage sludge use and management practices,

e. USEPA A Plain English Guide to the EPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule, EPA/832/R-93/003, September 1994,f. New Jersey "Statewide Sludge Management Plan", November 1987 andg. New Jersey "Sludge Quality Assurance Regulations" (SQAR), N.J.A.C. 7:14C.

K. Compliance Schedule:

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.4(a), a schedule of compliance is included in the permit, including interimdeadlines for progress or reports of progress towards compliance with the conditions of this permit.

1. Installation of Continuous Sampler for Chlorine Produced Oxidants at DSN 46 1A:a. During the initial phase, from the effective date of the permit (EDP) through EDP + 1 year the permittee shall

sample CPO three times per week.b. During the final phase, from EDP + I year through EDP + 5 years the permittee shall sample CPO with a

continuous sampler.

L. Other Operating Conditions included in Part IV

PCB'sThe Department has retained the narrative condition in Part IV, which prohibits the discharge of PCB's such asthose which are commonly used for transformer fluid.

This subject permit renewal does not require effluent PCB monitoring as DRBC communicated to the Departmenton May 8, 2002 that it is not necessary for the Department to require any PCB monitoring at this time.

Continuous MonitoringBecause continuous monitoring is required at DSN's 461A, 461C and 462B, the Department has includednarrative guidance as to how the permittee should monitor flow and/or temperature iin the event that those metersare temporarily, unavailable due to maintenance, calibration or inoperability.

Service Water BypassAuthorization, to temporarily redirect service water to DSN 463A, thereby bypassing DSN 46 1A, has been grantedin Part IV. This authorization is only permissible during station maintenance where certain notification conditionsare specified.

Flow Measurements Using Rhodamine DyeAuthorization to perform periodic flow measurement of the cooling tower related systems using Rhodamine WTDye has been specified in Part IV. Certain notification conditions are specified.

Section 316 Determination

Under Section 316(b), the Department must determine whether the location, design, construction, and capacity of theStation's intake structure reflects the best technology available (BTA) for minimizing adverse environmental impact.Decisions under Section 316(b) concerning BTA for cooling water intake structures require a case-by-easedetermination and should include an evaluation of economic considerations. BTA is intended to mean the besttechnology available commercially at an economically practicable cost and, further, that the c6sts of a technology* must not be wholly disproportionate to the environmental benefit to be gained. In the Matter of Carolina Power andLight Company (Brunswick Steam Electric.Plant), NPDES Permit No. NC0007064 (November 7, 1977)) at 31-32; Inthe Matter of Public Service Co. of New Hampshire (Seabrook Station), Case No. 76-6 (June, 1977) ("SeabrookAdministrator's Decision") at 13; Letter from Cynthia C. Dougherty, Director, Permits Division, USEPA to JohnFields, NJDEP.

As described previously, Hope Creek has a shoreline intake structure which withdraws cooling water from the ServiceWater System. After use in the Service Water System, the cooling water is utilized as makeup water for the closedcycle-cooling system where this system relies on a natural draft cooling tower for evaporative cooling of thecondenser cooling water.

The Hope Creek intake structure is equipped with Ristroph travelling screens and a fish return system. The intakestructure is located parallel to and nearly flush with the shoreline. This location increases tidal flushing of theforebay, and eliminates long intake canals and blind pockets, thus reducing the entrapment potential. The intakestructure is equipped with vertical travelling screens and a fish return system that includes screen panel buckets, a lowpressure fish removal system, a high pressure debris removal system, and troughs to return debris and fish to the river.

The intake flow velocities through the trash racks and travelling screens are approximately 0.1 foot per second and0.39 foot per second, respectively. This reduces the swim speed necessary for a fish to escape the intake's attractiveforces and allow most organisms to. escape impingement.

The volumes of water associated with Hope Creek's closed cycle cooling system are relatively low, approximately103 cubic feet per second (66.8 -million gallons per day) during normal operations. Because of this flow volume thenumber of organisms susceptible to entrainment and impingement is relatively low. Water usage at the Station duringnormal operations accounts for less than 0.02 percent of the tidal flow of the Estuary.

Based on the above, the Department has determined that the location, design, construction, and capacity of HopeCreek's cooling water intake structure continues to reflect BTA. This technology significantly minimizes thepotential mortality of aquatic life typically'associated with cooling water intake structures, namely impingement andentrainment. This minimization of mortality is primarily due to the lesser amount of intake flow of closed-cyclecooling systems as compared to once-through cooling systems. Facilities that utilize closed-cycle cooling arerecognized in EPA's proposed Section 3 16(b) rule for existing facilities (Federal Register Notice, April 9, 2002) ashaving minimized adverse environmental impact.

Variances or Alternatives to Permit Conditions:Not Applicable

Procedure for requesting variances or alternatives to water quality based effluent limitations:Procedures for modifying water quality based effluent limitations are found in the New Jersey Surface Water QualityStandards, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.8 and 1.9. If awater quality based effluent limitation has been proposed in this permit

1action, the permittee may request a modification of that limitation in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A- 11.7(a). Thisrequest must be made prior to the close of the public comment period. The information that must be submitted tosupport the request may be obtained from the Division of Watershed Management at (609) 633-7020.

V. Best Management Practices (BMP) Selection and Plan Design

The permittee shall evaluate the information from the site assessment phase of this plan toidentify potential and existing sources of stormwater contaminated by source material. Alldischarges to surface water of domestic sewage, non-contact cooling water, and processwaste water must be eliminated or permitted. Based upon the site assessment performed, thepermittee shall develop BMP's that will effectively eliminate or reduce pollutant loadings instormwater discharges from the facility in accordance with the following sections. BMPs are

3

measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution from any type of activity. The evaluation andselection of the BMP's addressing each area, and/or activity where source materials are exposedto stormwater discharging to surface water, shall be documented in the SPPP and shall include ata minimum the following BMPs:

A. Non-Stormwater Discharges into Storm Sewers

The facility shall ensure that it does not generate and discharge, through storm sewers to surfacewaters, any domestic sewage, non-contact cooling water, or process wastewaters, unless thatdischarge is authorized by another NJPDES permit or identified in an application or request forauthorization submitted for another NJPDES permit.

B. Removal, Cover or Control of Industrial Activities

Except as specified and required in Part IV of the permit for certain, specific exposures of sourcematerials, all other source materials shall be moved indoors, covered, used, handled, and/orstored in a manner so as to prevent contact with stormwater that is discharged to surface water.Each BMP that prevents such contact shall be identified and discussed in the SPPP.

C. Diverting Stormwater

Approved diversion of contaminated stormwater to either a domestic or industrial wastewatertreatment plant may also be considered when choosing an appropriate BMP where feasible.(Diversion to groundwater may require a separate NJPDES permit. Consult the Bureau ofNonpoint Pollution Control.)

D. Spill Prevention and Response

Areas where actual or potential spills of source materials are exposed to stormwater dischargescan occur, and their accompanying. drainage points shall be identified clearly in the SPPP.Where appropriate, specific material handling procedures, storage requirements and use ofequipment such as diversion valves shall be developed and practiced to prevent and/or eliminatespills and/or leaks of source materials from being exposed to stormwater. Procedures forcleaning up spills shall be specifically included in the plan and made available to the appropriatepersonnel through scheduled employee training. In addition, the facility shall provide orotherwise make available to its personnel the appropriate and necessary-spill cleanup equipmentto effect an immediate and thorough spill cleanup.

E. Good Housekeeping

The SPPP must include a good housekeeping program to help maintain a clean and orderly workplace. For certain activities or areas, the discharge of stormwater exposed to source materials

4

. may be prevented merely by using good housekeeping methods. The following are some simpleprocedures that a facility can consider incorporating into an effective good housekeepingprogram:

1. conduct cleanup immediately after discovery of leaks and spills;

2. implement careful material storage practices;

3. improve operation and maintenance of industrial machinery and processes;

4. maintain up-to-date material inventory;

5. maintain well organized work areas;

6. provide regular pickup and disposal of waste materials;

Notice is hereby given that the New Jersey Department ofEnvironmental Protection and Energy, .Wastewater FacilitiesRegulation Program proposes to renew the existing NEW JERSEYPOLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM/DISCHARGE TO SURFACE WATER(NJPDES/DSW) Permit NJ0005622 to restrict and control the coolingwater intake and the discharge of pollutants, as defined byN.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.9, to the Delaware River, classified as Zone 5,!<,from:

Public Service Electric and Gas CompanySalem Nuclear Generating StationLower Alloways Creek TownshipSalem County, New Jersey

This notice, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7i14A-8.1 and 7:14A-9.3is being given to inform the public that the NJDEPE has prepareda Draft NJPDES Permit Renewal (NJPDES Permit No. NJ0005622) whichcontains conditions necessary to implement the provisions ofSection 316 of the Clean Water Act and the "RegulationsConcerning The New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System"(N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1 et seq.), which were promulgated pursuant tothe authority of the New Jersey "Water Pollution Control Act"(N.J.S.A. 58:10A-1 et seq.).

The applicant operates a three-unit electric generating station(SIC number 4911). Units No. 1 and 2 are nuclear-poweredpressurized water reactors each rated at about 1,100 MWe andoperate with a once-through cooling water system. Unit No. 3 isan air-cooled combustion turbine rated at about 4& MWe.

The Department issued a Draft Renewal Permit for this facility on8October 3, 1990. The October 3, 1990 Draft Renewal Permit hasnot yet been finalized. This issuance provides public notice of

*1

Public NoticeNJ0005622Page 2

the Department's intent to reissue a draft permit based on anadministrative record which now includes information and datapresented in comments to the 1990 Draft Permit and thePermittee's 1993 renewal application supplement.

This Draft Permit proposes to authorize the discharge ofpollutants to Zone 5 of the Delaware. This Draft Permit alsoproposes to incorporate the Department's determinations withrespect to the Permittee's request for a variance from surfacewater quality standards for heat and temperature pursuant toSection 316(a) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 USCSection 1251 et seq. ("Clean Water Act") and, further, theDepartment's. determination pursuant to Section 316(b) of theClean Water Act regarding the best technology available for thecooling water intake structure for minimizing adverseenvironmental impacts.

The facility has been classified as a.major discharger by the NewJersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy inaccordance with the United States Environmental ProtectionAgency's (USEPA) rating criteria.

This is an existing facility, and issuance of a NJPDES Permit isthe regulatory mechanism which ensures that discharges ofpollutants are in compliance with applicable standards. TheDraft Permit contains those conditions necessary to restrict thedischarge of pollutants and protect the public health andenvironment.

DSNs 481-486 discharge wastewater composed of once-through non-contact cooling water. Radioactive liquid waste, as permitted bythe United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("USNRC"), andnon-radioactive liquid waste mix with the cooling water anddischarge to the River through DSNs 481, 482, 484 and/or 485.Radioactive liquid waste, which averages approximately 0.017 MGD,meets USNRC discharge limitations and conditions. The non-radioactive liquid waste, which averages approximately 0.26 MGD,is treated and monitored at an internal monitoring point, DSN48C, prior to mixing with the cooling water and discharging tothe River through DSNs 481, 482, 4.84 and/or 485. DSN 487Bdischarges approximately 0.002 MGD of wastewater consisting ofstormwater, auxiliary boiler blow down, and systems leakage toDSN 487. DSN 487 also discharges stormwater runoff. DSNs 489Aand 489B both discharge approximately .0.003 MGD of" wastewaterconsisting of stormwater and systems leakage to DSN 489. DSN 489also discharges stormwater runoff.


The thermal component of the discharge from DSNs 481-486 issubject to effluent limitations under Section 301 of the CleanWater Act and Section 6 of the New Jersey Water Pollution ControlAct. This Draft Permit proposes to grant the Permittee's thermalvariance request under Section 316(a) and proposes thermaleffluent limitations consistent with the Station's existing once-through cooling water system: maximum effluent temperature43.3 0 C (110 0 F) from October through May and 46.1*C (115*F) fromJune through September; maximum differential temperature 15.3 0 C(27.5 0 F) and total facility-heat of 30,600 MBTU/hr.

The Draft Permit proposes Special Conditions requiring: intakescreen modifications; an intake flow limitation; a wetlandsrestoration, enhancement and preservation program; a fishmigration impediment elimination program; the conduct of sounddeterrent feasibility study; and the conduct of a biologicalmonitoring program. These Special Conditions are required tominimize environmental impacts related to the Station's coolingwater system pursuant to Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act.

The draft document prepared by the NJDEPE is based on theadministrative record which is on file at the offices of theNJDEPE, located at 401 East State Street, in the City of Trenton,Mercer County, New Jersey. It is available for inspection byappointment, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday throughFriday.

FACT SHEET

I. INTRODUCTION

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (the "Clean Water Act" or

"CWA"), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., authorizes federal and state agencies

to regulate discharges of pollutants to surface waters through the

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit

program. The United States Environrmental Protection Agency

("USEPA"), which originally administered the NPDES program for New

Jersey, delegated program authority to the New Jersey Department of

Environmental Protection and Energy ("NJDEPE" or "Department") in

1982. The NJDEPE implements the NPDES program through the New Jersey

' ) Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) regulations (N.J.A.C.@

7:14A-1 et seg.) which were promulgated pursuant to the authority of

the New Jersey Water Pollution Control Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10A-1 et

seq£.)•

Public Service Electric and Gas Company ("PSE&G" or the "Company" or

"Permittee") is the operator of the Salem Generating Station ("Salem"

or the "Station"). PSE&G shares ownership of the Station with

Philadelphia Electric Company, Delmarva Power and Light Company, and

Atlantic Electric Company. Salem's discharges to surface water are

regulated pursuant to NJPDES permit No. NJ0005622,. first issued to

PSE&G by the USEPA in 1974. Pursuant to the requirements of N.J.A.C.

7:14A-2.1, PSE&G applied in June 1990 for a renewal of the NJPDES

of 152 PagesFact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622

i

permit for the Station. In addition to the standard regulatory

requirements for permit renewal, PSE&G's application renewed the

Company's request:for a variance from New Jersey's thermal surface

water quality standards for the Station's once-through cooling water

discharge pursuant to Section 316(a) of the CWA and N.J.S.A. 58:10A-1

et seq. Under Section 316(a), a variance from a thermal standard may

be granted if an alternative limit will "assure the protection and

propagation of a balanced, indigenous population of shellfish, fish,

and wildlife in and on the body of water." At the time PSE&G filed

its permit renewal application, the NJDEPE had under review pursuant

to Section 316(b) of the CWA, a best technology available

demonstration relative to the Station's cooling water intake

structure. Under Section 316(b) of the CWA, the location, design,

construction, and capacity of cooling water intake structures must

reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse

environmental impact.

In October 1990, the Department issued a draft NJPDES permit ("1990

Draft Permit") denying PSE&G's request for a -variance pursuant to

Section 316(a) and restricting and controlling the operation of the

cooling water intake and the discharge of heat to the Delaware River

through flow and temperature limitations that could only have been

met by retrofitting the Station with a closed cycle cooling system.

The Department's determination was made after a consideration of

PSE&G's 1974 Section 316(a) variance request filed with the USEPA,

-> (as updated in 1975, 1978 and 1979) (hereinafter "Variance Request")


and PSE&G's 1984 Section 316(b) Demonstration. In addition to

th'ermal effluent limitations provisions and an intake structure

determination requiring retrofitting the Station with a closed cycle

cooling system, the 1990 Draft Permit contained a number of new or

revised effluent limitations and associated terms and conditions for

other wastewater constituents.

The Department received and considered comments from PSE&G and

numerous other interested parties, including the USEPA, concerning

the 1990 Draft Permit. These comments primarily focused on the

Department's determination concerning PSE&G's Section 316(a) Variance

Request. Responses to comments from those other than PSE&G and USEPA

are included in Attachment D of this Permit. PSE&G's comments

("PSE&G's Comments" or "1991 Comments"). contained information, data

and argumeenzs not previously included in the administrative record

relevant to the Section 316,determinations. PSE&G's Comments raised

questions concerning certain information, data and assumptions that

formed the basis for the 1990 Draft Permit decision that

recirculating cooling towers are the Best Available Technology

("BAT") for controlling the thermal component of the discharges at

the Station and the Best Technology Available ("BTA") for minimizing

adverse environmental impacts resulting from the impingement and

entrainment of aquatic species by the Station's cooling water system.

On March 4, 1993, PSE&G filed a supplement to the Company's June 1990

Permit Aooicaticn ("1993 Application Supplement") incorporating by

~1

4Page 5 of 152 PagesFact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622

reference certain of the additional data and information presented in

the Company's 1991 Comments and proposing special conditions for a

draft NJPDES permit ("Draft Permit"). The Special Conditions propose

certain modifications to the intake screens, a limitation on the

volume of intake flow, a program to restore and enhance wetlands, a

fish migration barrier removal program, a study to determine the

feasibility of sound as a fish deterrent, and the conduct of a

baywide biological monitoring program ("Special Conditions"). The

1993 Application Supplement included a Technical Appendix which

generally provides the technical and scientific basis for the Special

Conditions. The 1993 Application Supplement also proposed effluent

limitations and associated terms and.conditions essentially similar

to those contained in the Station's 1989 NJPbES permit, the

performance of an Effluent Characterization Study, and, if required,

a Dilution Study.

In light of the information presented in the public comments on the

.1990 Draft Permit, the Department has reconsidered the decision to

require that the Station be retrofitted with closed cycle cooling.

As a result of this reconsideration, the Department is issuing this

draft NJPDES permit for the Station which proposes measures under

Section 316(b) which will minimize adverse environmental impact.

This Draft Permit also proposes to grant PSE&G a variance from

thermal surface water quality standards. This Draft Permit

incorporates Special Conditions proposed by PSE&G in the 1993

Application Supplement.I ->


As indicated above, the 1990 Draft Permit contained a number of new

or revised effluent limitations and associated terms and conditions.

Many of those permit limits were predicated on the conditions of the

1990 Draft Permit requiring PSE&G to retrofit the Station with a

closed cvcle cooling system. As this Draft Permit proposes to allow

PSE&G to retain the existing once-through cooling water system, it

also proposes to incorporate many of the effluent limits and

associated terms and conditions of the Station's existing 1989 NJPDES

Permit, applicable to the once-through cooling water system, and

proposes requiring PSE&G to complete an Effluent Characterization

Study, Chronic Toxicity Characterization Study, and, if required, a

Dilution Study. Upon submission of the final reports for the

., Effluent Characterization Study, Chronic Toxicity Characterization

Study, and, if required, the Dilution Study, the Department will

determine whether water quality-based effluent limitations or

additional modified permit conditions are necessary. In this Draft

Permit, the Department has also modified the Station's existing 1989

permit (as modified, issued February 28, 1989) to change certain

monitoring requirements, address treatment system upgrades, and make

certain administrative corrections or amendments to update standard

permit terms and conditions.

This Draft Permit is being issued pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1, et

seq. These regulations authorize the Department to issue a new draft

permit uocn a determination that any information, data, or argument

legal issues concerning the permit.

II. DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY.

The Salem Generating Station is located on the southwestern side of

Artificial Island on the eastern shore of the Delaware Bay ("Bay",

"River" or "Estuary") in Salem County, New Jersey. The Station lies

about 50 miles northwest of the mouth of the Delaware Bay and 30

miles southwest of Philadelphia (See Figure 1 on page 15 of the Fact

Sheet/Basis). The River in the area.of the Station is approximately

2.5 miles wide. The tidal flow of the River past the Station is

approximately 400,000 cubic feet per second or 259,000 million

gallons per day ("MGD"). The River in the vicinity of the Station is

characterized by variable salinity, tidal currents, and a high

quantity of particulate material suspended in the water column.

The Station consists of three electric generating units. Units No. 1

and No. 2 are nuclear-powered, pressurized water reactors, each rated

at about. ,i00 MWe (3,400 MWt). Unit No. 3 is an air-cooled

combustion turbine rated at about 40 NWe. Unit No. 3 is used as a

peaking and emergency standby generator and has no discharge to

surface water. Units No. 1 and No. 2 use a once-through cooling

water system and are operated as baseload electrical generating

units. The Salem units were proposed in 1966 and construction was


NJ0005622

started in 1968. Salem Units No. 1 and No. 2 have been in operation

for more than a decade, beginning commercial operation in 1977 and

1981, respectively.

Four basic steps are involved in the production of electricity at

Salem (See Figure 2 on page 16 of the Fact Sheet/Basis). Fission in

the nuclear reactors heats high purity water in each unit's primary

loop system. Heat is then transferred in a heat exchanger (steam

generator) to a secondary loop system, creating steam. The steam is

used to drive turbines so that some of the energy in the steam is

converted to mechanical energy. The turbines are connected to

generators that convert the mechanical energy of the rotating

turbines into electrical energy. River water is used to cool the

steam exhausted from the turbines and condense the steam in the

secondary loop system back into high purity water. This process is

known as non-contact cooling because the River water does not mix

with the Station's steam. The condensed high purity water is

returned from the condensers to the steam generators to be converted

again into steam to continue to drive the turbines. The River water

that passes through the condensers for non-contact cooling of the

secondary steam loop is discharged back to the River.

In addition to the discharge of non-contact cooling water, the

Station discharges other effluents including low volume waste streams

and storm water as discussed in more detail below.

4


I* DESCRIPTION OF WASTEWATER DISCHARGES AND INTAKES

A. Station Outfalls

The Station is designed to discharge, at a maximum, approximately

3,200 MGD of once-through, non-contact condenser cooling water

through six submerged pipes or outfalls. designated as Discharge.

Serial Numbers (DSNs) 481-486. This non-contact cooling water exits

from the six discharge pipes at a rapid velocity (approximately 10

feet per second (fps)) at the bottom of the River (at center line

pipe depth of approximately 31 feet below mean sea level) about 500

feet offshore. The high velocity causes rapid mixing of the cooling

water with the River water.

Radioactive liquid waste, as permitted by the United States Nuclear

Regulatory Commission ("USNRC"), and non-radioactive liquid waste mix

with the cooling water and discharge to the River through DSNs 481,

482,- 484 and/or 485. Radioactive liquid waste, which averages

approximately 0.017 MGD, meets USNRC discharge limitations and

conditions. The non-radioactive liquid waste, which averages

approximately 0.26 MGD, is treated and monitored at an internal

monitoring point, DSN 48C, prior to mixing with the cooling water and

discharging. to the River through DSNs '481, 482, 48.4 and/or 485.

'

of 152 Pages


The Station has other regulated outfalls or monitoring locations that

also discharge to the Delaware River. These outfalls include DSNs

487, 487B, 488, 489, 489A, 489B, 490 and 491. DSN 487B discharges

approximately 0.002 MGD of wastewater consisting of stormwater,

auxiliary boiler blowdown, and systems leakage to DSN 487, after.

treatment by oil/water skimming. DSNs 489A and 489B each discharge

approximately 0.003 MGD.of wastewater consisting of stormwater and

systems leakage to DSN 489, after treatment by oil/water skimming.

In addition to the discharges discussed above, DSNs 487, 488, 489,

490, and 491 discharge stormwater runoff from the Station.

A site map that illustrates all intake and discharge points is

presented in Figure 3 on page 17 of the Fact Sheet/Basis. A cutaway

view of the facility's cooling water system is presented in Figure 3a

on page 18 of the Fact Sheet/Basis.

B. Circulating Water intake System

The Circulating Water System ("CWS") intake, located at the

southwestern side of Artificial Island, .supplies water to cool the

condensers of Salem Units No. 1 and No. 2. The intake structure

includes 12 separate intake bays (six for each of the two Salem

units). Water enters the intake bays through mechanically cleaned

trash racks (one per bay), each approximately 11 feet wide and 51

feet long. The trash racks are constructed of 0.5 inch wide steel

bars on 3.5 inch centers; the size of the slot opening is 3 inches.


After passing through the trash rack, water, debris, and.some small-

sized aquatic organisms are drawn onto and through an uninterrupted

linkage of continuously operating vertical traveling screens (3/8

inch mesh panels) (See Figure 4 on page 19 of the Fact Sheet/Basis).

The screens normally rotate continuously at 0.9 inch/second. Faster

screen rotation speeds are used at times of high debris loadings.

The traveling screens are equipped with Ristroph-type fish buckets

fitted to the base of each screen panel. The buckets are designed to.

prevent aquatic organisms caught or impinged on the screens from

falling back into the screen bay and becoming re-impinged. Fish and

small debris collected on the screens. fall into the buckets as each

screen panel is lifted above the water for cleaning. The organisms

remain in a water-filled bucket as the screen panel is rotated over

the top of the screen assembly where a low pressure spray washes the

organisms into a fish return system. High pressure sprays are then

utilized to remove remaining debris.from the screens. Fish and

debris washed from the screens are returned through bi-directional

sluices to the Estuary on either the north or south side of the

intake, depending upon the direction of tidal flow, thereby allowing

the tidal current to carry the fish and debris away from the intake.

A vertical wet-pit CWS pump, having a design flow of 185,000 gallons

per minute ("gpm") (266 MGD), is located in each of the 12 CWS.intake

bays. When all 12 pumps are in service the design withdrawal

capacity of this intake is 3,197 MGD.

of 152 PagesFact Sheet/BasisNJO005622

C. Service Water Intake System

The Service Water System ("SWS") intake, a nuclear safety-related

system, supplies water to cool the heat exchangers and coolers used

in conjunction with the reactors, generators, and auxiliary

equipment. The SWS intake is located approximately 490 feet upstream

(north) from the CWS intake. It consists of 12 intake bays arranged

in groups of three and alternating between Units No. I and 2. Water

enters the bays through mechanically cleaned trash racks constructed

of 0.5 inch wide steel bars on 3.5 inch centers, so that the size of

the slot opening is 3 inches. After passing through the trash rack,

water is drawn through conventional vertical traveling screens (3/8

inch mesh). A 10,875 gpmr (15.7 MGD) vertical, deepwell turbine pump

is located in each of the 12 intake cells. With all twelve pumps in

service, the design withdrawal capacity of this intake is 188 MGD.

IV.- DESCRIPTION OF DRAFT PERMIT CONDITIONS

The existing/proposed effluent limitations, effluent sampling

analytical data, and other pertinent information are described in the

Permit Summary Tables. Also included is a summary of the basis for

each effluent limitation and other conditions in the Draft Permit.

of 152 Pages


V. WATER QUALITY-BASED PERMIT LIMITS

The Department requires additional information on the character of

the Permittee's effluent before determining whether water quality-

based effluent limitations (non-thermal) ("WQBELs") are necessary.

The Draft Permit requires the Permittee to perform an Effluent

Characterization Study, a Chronic Toxicity Characterization Study,

and a Dilution Study. Upon receipt of the results of these studies,

the Department may develop and apply WQBELs under applicable laws and

regulations.

VI. PROCEDURES FOR REACHING A FINAL DECISION ON THE DRAFT PERMIT

The procedures for reaching a final decision On the Draft Permit are

set forth in N.J.S.A. 58:10A-7, N.J.A.C. 7:14A-7.1 et seq. and

N.J.A.C. 7:14A-8.1 et seq. Included in the procedures are

requirements for the submission of comments by the close of the

comment period, scheduled. dates and procedures for a non-adversarial

public hearing, and other procedures for participation in the final

agency decision.

N.J.S.A. 58:10A-7 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-8.9(j) provide that

applicants/permittees/interested parties who believe the Department's

tentative decision is inappropriate must raise all reasonably

ascertainable arguments and factual grounds supporting their position

of 152 P.s aFact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622

on these issues, including all supporting material, by the close of

the public comment period. If the applicant/permittees/interested

party fails to raise any reasonably ascertainable issues at this

time, it is deemed to have waived the right to raise or contest any

such issues in any subsequent adjudicatory hearing or appeal. All

supporting materials must be included in full and may not be

incorporated by reference, unless they are already part of the

administrative record in the same proceeding, or consist of State or

Federal statutes and'regulations, USEPA documents of general

applicability, or other generally available reference materials.

STATEMENT OF BASIS

DRAFT NJPDES PERMIT MODIFICATION TODISCHARGE INTO THE WATERS OF

THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY

NJPDES APPLICATION NO. NJ0005622

I. DESCRIPTION OF WASTEWATER COM4PONENTS

The background information presented in this section relating to the

composition of the wastestreams contributing to each outfall is based

on (1)' the Permittee's application dated June 1, 1990 and supplements

thereto dated August 31, 1990, January 10, 1991, and April 23, 1991

("1990 Permit Application"); (2) the Department's site inspections on*

September 4, 1990 and February 23, 1993; (3) section II of Volume 62

of PSE&G's 1991 Comments; and (4) the 1993 Application Supplement.

Water utilization and discharges at the Station are illustrated in

Figure 5 (and accompanying notes) on pages 28-29 of the Fact

Sheet/Basis.

DSNs 481 - 486

1) Circulating Water System

As discussed in the Fact Sheet to this Draft Permit, water withdrawn

©0

....... - , _ ------ ---------.. .

Page 3.8 of 152 PagesFact Sheet/Basis

NJ00056229from the River passes through the condensers for non-contact cooling

of the secondary steam loop and is discharged back to the River.

(See Figure 5. on page 28 of the Fact Sheet/Basis) The discharge flow

from DSNs 481-486 is composed primarily of wastewater from the once-

through condenser cooling water. DSNs 481-486 also include flow from

the servi.ce water system, with limited contribution from.the

radioactive licuid waste-and non-radioactive liquid waste systems.

2) Service Water System

The service water system ("SWS") provides cooling to smaller,

critical heat exchangers throughout the Station. The SWS is a

nuclear safety-related system and the discharge is classified as a

low volume waste stream pursuant to 40 CFR 423. Past history has

demonstrated that macroinvertebrate fouling does occur in the system.

The SWS is designed -to allow the addition of sodium hypochlorite at

the pump suction bay and/or discretely to each distribution header to

control macroinvertebrate fouling.. Total residual chlorine ("TRC")

is limited in the permit. PSE&G's 1990 Permit Application states

that the SWS has no feasible path for the addition of any other

pollutant (other than sodium hyppchlorite) and there are no means of

monitoring the discharge before it joins with the CWS outfalls.

3) Monitor Tank Effluent

Moniizor tank effluent, which is effluent of the radioactive liquid

0i

of 152 PagesFact Sheet/BasisNJ0oo5622

waste ("RLW") system, discharges through CWS outfalls DSNs 481, 482,

484 and/or 485 (See Figure 5 on page 28 of the Fact Sheet/Basis).

The radioactive liquid waste system collects system leakage,

equipment leakage, decontamination liquids, washwaters, sample

wastes, and flow from floor drains, system drains, ventilation system

drains, and laboratory drains from areas of the Station that contain,

or may contain, radioactive materials. These wastestreams may

contain trace quantities of organics, analytical laboratory

chemicals, decontamination solutions, or cleaning solutions. The

primary chemicals that are used and could drain to the radioactive

liquid waste system include chromates, hydrazine, and boron. These

wastestreams are collected in tanks; processed to reduce

radioactivity; treated with hydrogen peroxide to remove hydrazine or

demineralized to remove ionic impurities, as necessary; sampled for

radioactive concentrations; and, discharged in a batch mode through

the CWS outfalls noted above. The radioactive concentrations,

quantities, and rate of the discharge are regulated and limited by

the USNRC.

4) Non-Radioactive Liquid Waste Disposal System

The influents to the "Non-Radioactive. Liquid Waste Disposal System"

("NRLWDS") are annotated in the system schematic depicted in Figure 6

on page 30 of the Fact Sheet/Basis with a letter designator and

include:


O\ . ~NJ0005622 ,

a. Regenerant wastes from demineralizers utilized for producing.

ultrapure water at Salem and at the Permittee's adjacent

facility, Hope Creek Generating Station, are routed to the

NRLWDS. These wastestreams contain dilute acid and caustic

regenerants, as. well as impurities removed from site well

water.

b. Chemical unloading area drains, chemical feed tank drains and

floor drains, and the demineralizer area sump, as well as the

acid and caustic chemical unloading -area drains and the

ammonia filling connection drains are routed to the NRLWDS.

The chemical unloading area drains can contain residuals from

leakage or spillage during acid or caustic tank truck

transfers and, also, precipitation- The chemical feed tanks

are utilized for handling and adding feedwater treatment

chemicals, primarily ammonium hydroxide'and hydrazine. The

tank drains, tank overflows, and area floor drains may contain

residual treatment chemicals or washwater containing dilute

cleaning agents. The demineralizer sump collects spillage,

leakage, overflows, floor drains, SWS sampling and leakage,

analytical laboratory drains for the demineralizer plant, and

tank drainage from the acid and caustic storage area. The

floor drains could also contain small amounts of cleaning

solutions and. lubricants.


- c. Secondary 'analytical laboratory drains and in-line

instruments that measure the purity of the process water in

the feedwater cycle also drain to the NRLWDS. This small

volume wastestream is primarily pure water with analytical

reagents and treatment chemicals..

d. Steam generator blowdown is an influent to the NRLWDS. The

influent flow is minimal: 10 to 12 gpm. During major outage

activities, steam generators can also be drained to the

NRLWDS. Steam generator blowdown and drainage contain

anmonia, hydrazine (most of which is converted to ammonia at

normal steam generator operating temperature), and trace

minerals and metals.

e. System recycle water and discharge from the NRLWDS vents,

drains, analytical laboratory drains, and floor drains are

returned to the NRLWDS. This influent is essentially NRLWDS

wastewater and may contain the same constituents as the other

influents to the NRLWDS as well as NRLWDS treatment chemicals.

f. Regenerant wastes from the condensate polishers are routed to

the NRLWDS. The condensate polishers remove impurities from

the steam cycle condensate water by demineralization. Because

these polishers are regenerated using dilute acid and caustic,

the regenerant wastes can contain dilute acid and caustic,

I

.Page 42 of 152 PagesFact Sheet/Basis

. NJ0005622

impurities removed by demineralization, and treatment

chemicals (ammonia and residual hydrazine).

Figure 6 on page 30 of the Fact Sheet/Basis depicts the flow and

treatment capabilities of the NRLWDS.

Influents. to the NRLWDS are collected in the equalization mixing

basin where some seIf-neutralization of the dilute acid and caustic

wastes occurs. If necessary, the wastestream may be treated with

sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide to reduce the concentrations

of ammonia and hydrazine. The wastestream then is normally routed

through the #2 clarifier,, the mix tank, the #1 clarifier,.and is

0> discharged through DSN -48C (an internal monitoring point) where it

mixes with. cooling water discharged through any ot all of DSNs 481,

•482, 484, and 485. Either or both clarifiers can be bypassed,

depending on wastestream quality. The mix tank normally is used for

the addition of caustic to facilitate precipitation of metals and the

capability has been installed, although it is not normally used, for

the addition of a coagulant aid. The mixed media filter skid is

installed but not normally used.

DSNs 487 and 489

For DSN 487., the components of the influent flows consist of river

water influx, precipitation runoff, roof drains, floor drains, sump

- pumps, No. 2 flood pump, and the effluent from the No. 3 skimmer tank

of 152 PagesFact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622 e6

(DSN 487B). For DSN 489, the components of the influent flows

consist of river water influx, precipitation runoff, roof drains,

floor drains, sumrp pumps, and the effluent from the No. 1 skimmer

tank (DSN 489A), and No. 2 skimmer tank (DSN 489B). These outfalls

are subject to tidal influences such that monitoring at these

outfalls does not produce representative samples. As a result,

pollutan: contribution is currently measured on a "net" bas.is. The

wastewater flows to these outfalls are. depicted in Figure 7 and

Figure 8 on pages 31 and 32 of the Fact Sheet/Basis respectively.

DSN 487B

" Influents include precipitation runoff and roof drains, along with.

minor intermittent flows from floor and equipment drains, and

auxiliary boiler blowdown. Lubricants, chemicals,-and cleaning

solutions are used in limited quantities in the areas served by the

equipment and floor drains. However, these pollutants are not

.,expected to be measurable in the discharge. Auxiliary boiler

blowdown may contain ammonia and hydrazine as these compounds are

used for corrosion control. Figure 9 on page 33 of the Fact

Sheet/Basis depicts the essential influents to the #3 Oil Water'

Skimmer which discharges through DSN 487B.

I Page 44 of 152 PagesFact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622

DSNs 489A and 489B

Wastewater flows to these outfalls are routed through the #1 (DSN

systems include precipitation runoff, roof drains., floor drains,

equipment drains, and transformer sump drains. Equipment drains,

floor drains, and sumps drain areas in which limited pollutants are

utilized but are not expected to contain any measurable quantities of

pollutants other than those identified in. PSE&G's renewal

application. The chemical handling and storage areas in the facility

normally drain to the chemical waste system.that discharges to the

NRLWDS (DSN 48C). System leakage from components and equipment

containing very dilute quantities of acid, caustic, ammonia, and

hydrazine can, however, reach the turbine building sumps and be

discharged through these outfalls. Figure l0.on page 34 of the Fact

Sheet/Basis describes the influents to the #i and #2 Oil Water

Skimmers.

Although most pollutants are not expected to be present in the

discharge, pollutants used in the area drained through this outfall

could enter this system-during normal operations. Sump pumps and

floor drai.S, which drain areas in which certain pollutants are

utilized, ate not expected to contain any measurable quantities of

pollutants other than those identified in PSE&G's 1990 Permit

is periodically operated for testing. This discharge could contain

any. of the materials used in the tuirbine building. The CWS vents

provide pressure and vacuum relief for this system after the main

condensers and prior to the point at which CWS wastewaters mix with

other wastestreams.

The service water strainers, are designed to remove small particles

from the intake water to prevent clogging and damage to the SWS heat

exchangers. The strainers are backwashed with service water to

remove the collected solids and the backwash water is discharged

through this outfall. Any leakage or drainage within the building

containing the service water pumps, screens, strainers, and

associated equipment is directed to building sumps that are

discharged through this outfall. Because sodium hypochlorite may be

added at the suction side of the service water pumps, residual

chlorine may be present in these discharges in small quantities.

II. DESCRIPTION OF LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS

* Introduction

The 1990 Draft Permit contained a number of new or. revised

limitations and conditions for wastewater constituents other than

thermal effluent limitations. Many of those new or revised'limitations were predicated-on NJDEPE's proposal to require PSE&G to

retrofit the Station with a closed cycle cooling, system. -As noted

above in the Fact Sheet and as discussed in greater detail below in

this Statement of Basis,, this Draft Permit is being issued with

limitations and conditions which are consistent with the continued

operation of the Station with a once-through cooling water system.

''1


As a result, the Department is revising certain non-thermal

wastewater parameters at DSNs 481-486, the circulating water system

discharge. For'instance, because the once-through cooling system

will be retained, it is no longer appropriate to impose limitations

for priority pollutants and other parameters based on the USEPA

guidelines for cooling tower blowdown.

Also, in response to additional information supplied by PSE&G in the

1991 Comments (See Volume .62) and the 1993 Application Supplement,

the Department is also revising the effluent limitation and

conditions applicable to other outfalls,' as discussed below. PSE&G

will be required, however, to perform an Effluent Characterization.

Study to ascertain whether any further limits are justified beyond

those proposed in this Draft Permit.

This Draft Permit also proposes technical corrections for organic

oxygen-demanding constituents and ammonia for those outfalls where

these limits are applied. For organic oxygen-demanding parameters,

the Draft Permit proposes to limit total organic carbon 'TOC), in

lieu of the present limit on chemical oxygen demand (COD). This

change is consistent with N.J.A.C. 7:9-5.5 and N.J.A.C. 7:9-5.8,

which allow the Department to set a limit on either TOC or COD,

depending on the presence of other characteristics in the wastewater,

such as chlorides, that may interfere with the analysis. For

ammonia, this Draft Permit proposes to specify that the limit applies

to amimcnia as nitrogen (N)', consistent with the Delaware River Basin

of 152 Pages

Fact Sheet/Basis

NJ0005622

Commission's ("'DRBC") Administrative Manual -Part III, Water Quality

Regulations May 22, 1991, as amended ("DRBC Water Quality

Regulations")

Also, the Department is making limited changes to the permit

requirements applicable to DSNs 487B, and 489A and 489B. Those

changes are necessary to *ensure consistency with the (1) re-routing

of the effluent from DSN 487B to the influent of the NRLWDS (no later

than December 31, 1993) and (2) installation of an oil water

separator at outfall DSN 489 (no later than April 30, 1994), thereby.

eliminating the river water influx at Outfall DSN 489 that caused the

Department to impose monitoring requirements at internal DSNs 489A

and 489B in the 1989 permit modification. All effluent limitations

and special conditions pertaining to the sanitary wastewater

treatment plant, formerly designated as DSN 487A, have been deleted

from the permit because that treatment plant was closed on April 6,

1990 in accordance with a NJDEPE-approved closure plan. All sanitary

wastew4ater has been routed to the Hope Creek treatment plant as of

January 1989.

This Draft Permit also includes additional and Special Conditions

sections which set forth conditions. deemed necessary to satisfy the

intent of the Clean Water Act, the New Jersey Water Pollution Control

Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10A-1 et seq.), the regulations promulgated pursuant

thereto, including 40 CFR Part 423, the NJPDES Regulations (N.J.A.C.

7:14A- 1. et sea. and applicable interstate regulations.

~*1

NJ0005622

As an additional condition, the Draft Permit requires the Permittee

to perform an Effluent Characterization Study to collect and provide

to the NJDEE comprehensive data on the extent of compliance of the

Station's discharges with instream water quality standards for other

non-thermal water quality parameters. Upon review of these data, the

Department will determine whether WQBELs or additional modified

permit conditions are necessary.

Finally, the Department is proposing to revise some of the standard

permit terms and conditions to ensure consistency with the

Department's most recent regulations and permits.

OUTFALLS

A. DSNs 481 - 486

1. Background

The Station's once-through, non-contact condenser cooling water is

discharged through six submerged pipes or outfalls designated as DSNs

481-486. DSNs 481-486 discharge wastewater which is composed

primarily of non-contact once-through cooling water from the River

which is used to cool steam exhausted from the turbines. The non-

contact once-through condenser cooling water is returned to-the River

without the addition of any treatment chemicals. Provisions are,

- I

fo1-152 Pages,


however, retained for the addition of sodium hypochlorite to control

biofouling, upon prior notification to the Department. Limited

contributions to the discharges from DSN 481-486 include wastewater

from the SWS., radioactive liquid waste system. and non-radioactive

liquid waste system. A summary description of these limited volume

wastewater streams are as follows:

a. Service Water System

The SWS., a nuclear safety related sys'tem, uses River water to cool

small, critical heat exchangers throughout the plant. Past history

has demonstrated that macroinvertebrate fouling does occur in the'

system and, as such, sodium. hypochlorite is added at the pump suction

bay and/or discretely to each distribution header to control

macroinvertebrate fouling. Total residual chlorine ("TRC") is

limited in the Draft Permit at DSNs 481 through 486 since there is no

means of obtaining a representative sample -of the discharge before it

joins with the CWS outfalls. The sodium hypochlorite addition system

is designed to maintain 0.3 mg/l to 0.5 mg/l residual in the effluent

of the SWS.

b. Monitor Tank Effluent (Radioactive Liquid Waste)

Monitor tank effluent is comprised of the wastewater from the

radioactive liquid waste system. The monitor tank effluent volume is

measured for each batch discharged and averages approximately 0.017


MGD. This wastewater mixes with the non-contact condenser cooling

water-and is discharged through DSNs 4.81, 482, 484, and/or 485. The

radioactive liquid waste discharges are regulated and permitted by

the USNRC as concerns to radioactive concentrations, quantities and

rates.

c. Non-Radioactive Liquid Waste Disposal System (NRLWDS)

Wastewater from the NRLWDS is monitored at an internal monitoring

point (DSN 48C) after treatment. The non-radioactive liquid waste

flow from DSN 48C to DSNs 481, 482, 484 and/or 485 averages

approximately 0.26 MGD and is mixed with the non-contact cooling

water from the circulating water system prior to discharge to the

River through DSNs 481, 482, 484, and/or 485.

Figure 5 on page 28 of the Fact Sheet/Basis depicts the "Schematic of

Water Flow" at the Station. This figure demonstrates that the once-

through non-contact cooling water comprises the majority of the flow

through DSNs 481-4.86. In that once-through cooling water comprises.

the majority of the flow through DSNs 481-486, the Draft Permit

imposes limitations at these outfalls applicable to once-through

cooling water..

2. Effluent Limitations and Conditions

INFLUENT FLOW shall be limited to a monthly average of 3,024 million.

gallons per day (MGD) .total intake for outfalls DSNs 481-486. This

requirement is imposed as part of the Section 316(b) Demonstration

Special Conditions (see. below). Monitoring for influent flow is

required to be calculated on a daily basis. -Daily maximum and

monthly average effluent flow shall be reported daily.

Conditions for EFFLUENT FLOW are consistent with the existing permit

in accordance with the provisions set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-

3.13(a) (12)i and are required pursuant to the NJPDES regulations and

fee calculation-requirements. Monitoring for effluent flow is

required to be calculated for each outfall on a daily basis. Daily

maximum and monthly average effluent flow in units of Million Gallons

per Day (MGD) shall be reported daily.

Conditions for INFLUENT TEMPERATURE are consistent with the existing

permit in accordance with the provisions set forth in N.J.A.C. 7.:14A-

3.13(a) (12)i. Facility A ("FAC A") designates the discharge from

Unit #1 (DSNs 481, 482, and 483). and Facility B ("FAC B") designates

the discharge from Unit #2 (DSNs 484,.:485, and 486). Continuous

.monitoring with daily maximum and monthly average reporting is

required for FAC A and FAC B. * .

(-


Effluent limitations and conditions for EFFLUENT TEMPERATURE are

consistent with the existing permit in accordance with the provisions

set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i. Effluent temperature shall

be monitored continuously and calculated as the flow-weighted average

for FAC A and FAC B. FACA. designates the discharge from Unit #1

(DSNs 481, 482, and 483) and FAC B designates the discharge from Unit

#2 (DSNs 484, 485, and 486). The monthly average shall be reported

for FAC A and FAC B. A daily maximum limitation of 46.1 * C (115'F)

from June 1 through September 30 and a daily maximum limitation of

43.3°C (110°F) from October 1 through May 31 has been imposed for FAC

A and FAC B.

Effluent limitations and conditions for DIFFERENTIAL TEMPERATURE are

consistent with the existing permit in accordance with the provisions@

set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i. The flow-weighted

differential temperature shall be calculated daily. A daily maximum

limitation of 15.3cC (27.5°F) is imposed for both FAC A and FAC B. A

monthly average shall be reported for FAC A and FAC B. FAC A

designates the discharge from Unit #1 (DSNs 481, 482, and 483) and

FAC B designates the discharge from Unit #2 (DSNs 484, 485, and 486)

Effluent limitations and conditions for total FACILITY HEAT are


set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i.. Heat shall be calculated

daily as the product of heat capacity, discharge flow, and discharge-

intake tempnerature difference. A daily maximum limitation of 30,600


Million British Thermal Units per Hour (MBTU/Hr) has been imposed for

FAC C. The monthly average shall be reported for Facility C .("FAC

C") FAC C designates the total discharge from DSNs 481, 482, 483,

484, 485., and 486.

TOTAL RESIDUAL CHLORINE (TRC) effluent limitations and conditions are


set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i. Since the addition of

sodium hypochlorite to the circulating water system has not been

routinely required, the permit conditions require the Permittee to

notify the Department prior to reinitiating the addition of sodium

hypochlorite to the circulating water system. As part of this

N) notification, the Permittee shall provide the Department with a

methodology for sodium hypochlorite addition which ensures that the

discharge of TRC is consistent with the steam effluent guidelines, 40

CFR 423. If chlorination is reinitiated tO the circulating water

system, TRC shall be monitored at the permitted outfalls, DSNs 481-

486, three times per week, each during a two (2) hour period of

chlorination. The amount of TRC discharged from* each permitted

outfall, DSNs 481-486, shall not exceed a daily maximum of 0.2 mg/l

during the chlorination of the circulating water system. If

chlorination is reinitiated, the Permittee shall maintain a log,

noting the time and duration of sodium hypochlorite addition to the

circulating water system.


The Permittee, however, shallbe permitted to continue to discharge

TRC in excess of two hours per day as it was permitted in the 1989

permit. The Permittee shall monitor for TRC from the continuous

chlorination of the service water system three (3) times per week by

grab sample at each permitted outfall, DSN 481-486. TRC discharged

from each permitted outfall DSN, 481-486, shall not exceed a monthly

average of 0.3 mg/i or a daily maximum of 0.5 mg/l when circulating

water system non-contact cooling water is not being discharged

through the associated permitted outfalls, DSNs 481-486. At all

other times, the amount of TRC discharged from each permitted outfall

(DSNs 481-486) shall not exceed a daily maximum of 0.2 mg/1 and the

monthly average shall be reported.

TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON (TOC)., CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD), BIOCHEMICA

OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD5), and TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS (TSS) were detected

and reported in the 1990 Permit Application. The 1990 Permit

Application indicates that these pollutants are also present in the

intake water. No limitations for these parameters are imposed at

this time. However, TOC and TSS shall be monitored in the influent

and effluent as part of the Effluent Characterization Study imposed

in Part IV-B/C of the permit to further evaluate the imposition of

limitations for these parameters. TSS and TOC are also limited at

DSN 48C.

Effluent limitations and conditions for pH are consistent with the

exiStina permit in accordance with the provisions set forth in


N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i. Monitoring of pH shall be perfor ed

three times per week using a grab sample. The daily minimum pli of

the effluent shall not be less than 6.0 Standard Units (S.U.) and the

daily. maximum pH shall not be greater than 9.0 S.U. The daily

minimum pH limitation shall.be the intake pH when then intake PH is

less than 6.0 S.U. The daily maximum pH limitation shall be the

intake pH when the intake pH is greater than 9.0 S.U.

AMMONIA was detected and reported in the 1990 Permit Application. The

1990 Permit Application indicates that detectable quantities oE this

pollutant are also present in the intake water. No limitations for

this parameter shall be imposed at.this time. However., Ammonia shall

be monitored in the influent and effluent, as well as at DSN 4RC, as

part of the Effluent Characterization Study imposed in Part IN-B/C of

the permit to further evaluate these parameters.

The existing permit contains a monitoring requirement and a ljit of

LC50 > 50% for ACUTE TOXICITY at DSN 48C. The effluent from IS 48C,

a low volume wastestream, conmningles with the non-contact cooling

water prior to discharge through outfalls DSNs 481, 482,. 484 ad/or

485. The acute toxicity data for DSN 48C indicates that this

discharge alone does not consistently cause toxicity above thdt

permit limitation. However, data from other PSE&G facilities.

indicates the presence of toxics in the non-contact cooling witer

outfalls, such as DSN 481, DSN 482, DSN-484 and.DSN 485, whictmay

not be the result of low volume wastestreams such as DSN 48C. These


toxics either alone, or in combination, have the potential to cause

toxicity. Therefore, the Department has determined that monitoring

for toxicity in the discharge is more appropriate at the circulating

water system outfalls since additional sources of toxicity may be

present in these discharges.

The effluent limitations and conditions for acute toxicity testing

are consistent with the existing permit in accordance with the

provisions set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i. The

representative monitoring point, howe"er, has been changed. The

Permittee shall be required to perform acute toxicity testing on each

circulating water system outfall(s) to which the effluent from DSN

48C is discharging during the sample event. The Permittee may align

the DSN 48C effluent to a single circulating water system outfall

during sample collection. In such event Permittee would perform only

one acute toxicity test during the required sampling event.

Permittee shall perform acute toxicity testing quarterly in

accordance with Part IV-B/C of the Draft Permit. A minimum

limitation of LC50 > 50% is imposed. This limitation is equivalent

to 2 TUa's (Acute Toxicity Units) maximum.

The "Acute Toxicity Biomonitoring Requirements" section of the Draft

Permit has been updated to reflect present standard language and

current Department mailing addresses.


NJ0005622

N..J.A.C. 7:14A-3.13 states that each DSW permit shall include

conditions to satisfy the requirements of the Federal Clean Water

Act.. Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.44(d)'(1) water quality-based effluent

limitations must be imposed to "control pollutants '... discharged at

a level which will cause, have the reasonable potential to cause, or

contribute to an [exceedance] above any State water quality

standard..."

Pursuant to Part IV-B/C of this Draft Permit, the Permittee shall be

required to perform an Effluent Characterization Study, a Chronic

Toxicity Characterization Study and, if required, a Dilution Study at

the -discharge of non-contact cooling water outfalls 'in order to

determine the extent-which, if at all, the discharge is causing or

has the reasonable potential to cause an exceedance of a New Jersey

water quality standard. The acute toxicity limitation and conditions

will'be reevaluated based on the results of the Effluent

Characterization Study, Chronic Toxicity Characterization Study and

Dilution Study (if required)

BORON was detected and reported in the 1990 Permit Application. The

1990 Permit Application indicates that detectable quantities of this

pollutant are present in the intake water. No :limitations shall be

TOTAL COPPER was detected and reported in the 1990 Permit

Application. No limits or conditions shall be imposed at this time

since the 1990 Permit Application indicates that copper is also

present in the intake water. This parameter (measured as Total

Recoverable) will be monitored in the Effluent Characterization Study

in Part IV-B/C. of the permit and the requirement for effluent

limitations, and conditions shall be, reevaluated, after the Study is

completed.

B. DSN 48C

1. Background

The influent waste streams to the NRLWDS include the following:

a. regenerant wastes from demineralizers utilized for

producing ultrapure water at Salem and the Hope Creek

Generating Station;

b. chemical handling area drains, chemical feed tank drains

and area floor drains, and the demineralizer area sump,

as well as the acid and caustic chemical unloading area

drains and the ammonia filling connection drains;

0


c. secondary analytical laboratory drains and in-line

instruments that measure the purity of the process water

in the feedwater cycle;

d. limited steam generator blowdown, and, during major

outages, steam generator drainage;

e. system recycle water and discharge from the NRLWDS vents,

drains, analytical laboratory drains, and floor drains;

and

f. regenerant wastes from the condensate polishers.

Figure 6 on page 30 of the Fact Sheet/Basis depicts the flow and

treatment capabiliti~es of the NRLWDSS.

The wastestreams to the NRLWDS may contain dilute acid and caustic

regenerants; residual treatment chemicals, including ammonium

hydroxide and hydrazine; river Water from sampling and leakage from

the service water system; analytical reagents from laboratory drains;

floor drain wastewater which may contain small amounts of cleaning

solutions and lubricants; and trace minerals and metals.

Influents to the NRLWDS are collected in an equalization mixing basin

where some self-neutralization of the dilute acid and caustic wastes

occurs. The wastestream may be treated with sodium hypochlorite or

of 152 Pages.Fact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622 I0

hydrogen peroxide, if necessary, to reduce the concentrations of

ammonia and hydrazine. The amount of sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen

peroxide added is based on the concentration of ammonia to be treated

and the stoichiometric relationship. The wastestream is normally

routed through the #2 clarifier, the mix tank, the #1 clarifier, and

discharged through DSN 48C'where it mixes with the non-contact

cooling water di.scharged through any or all of DSNs 481, 482, 484,

CARBON (TOC), in lieu of the existing limitation on CHEMICAL OXYGEN

DEMAND (COD), in accordance with the provisions set forth in N.J.A.C.

7:14A-3.13(a) (12)i. This technical change in the organic oxygen-

demanding parameter regulated is being made because TOC is a more

appropriate parameter for the NRLWDS wastestream. The limitation is

based on an assumed 2:1 ratio of COD:TOC, utilizing the existing COD

limitation of 100 mg/l. The samples shall be collected as composite

samples. Monitoring shall be conducted twice per month. A daily

maximum limitation of 50 mg/l is imposed. Reporting of a monthly

Effluent limitations and conditions for SULFIDE and TOTAL ORGANIC

NITROGEN are not imposed at this time as these compounds were

detected at trace levels based on the Permittee's 1990 Permit

Application data.

Data on ZINC was submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)

through March 1989 and also in the 1990 Permit Application. The data

indicates this metal was detected at low levels in this effluent. No

imposition of limitations/conditions on this parameter.

C. DSN 487

1. Background

The wastewater flows to this outfall include river water influx,

precipitation runoff, roof drains, floor drains, sump pumps, the No.

2 flood pump, and the effluent from the No. 3 skimmer tank,

monitoring point DSN 4873. Monitoring at this outfall does not

produce re•resentative samples as this, outfall is subject to tidal

influences. Pollutant contribution is measured on a "net" basis in

the existing permit. Figure 7 on page 31 of the Fact Sheet/Basis

depicts the wastewater flows to DSN 487.

DSN 487A, the former sanitary wastewater treatment plant discharge,

has been deleted from the permit. The treatment plant was closed in

accordance with a NJDEPE-approved closure plan and, in January 1989,

Salem's sanitary wastewater was routed to the Hope Creek treatment

plant.> DSN 487B will be rerouted to the NRLWDS influent for

treatment, and except for emergency .o•erflows, will not discharge

through DSN 487 after December 31, 1993.


The analytical data provided in the 1990 Permit Application for DSN

487 is essentially representative of the river. All limitations and

conditions are deleted from this outfall because samples obtained at

the specified monitoring point are largely subject to tidal

influences where monitoring may be inappropriate. The majority of

the potentially contaminated water is currently being monitored at

internal point 487B and as such, the Permittee's pollutant

contributions are adequately assessed.. This discharge shall no

longer be a monitored outfall.

D. DSN 487B

1. Background

The influents to the No. 3 Oil Water Skimmer, which discharges

through DSN 487B to DSN 487, include precipitation• runoff, roof

drains, minor intermittent flows from floor and equipment drains, and

auxiliary boiler blowdown. Auxiliary boiler blowdown may contain

ammonia and hydrazine as these compounds are used for corrosion

control. Figure 9 on page 33 of the Fact Sheet/Basis depicts the

influents to the #3 Oil Water Skimmer.

As noted above., Permittee shall be required to re-route• the

wastewater from the No. 3 Oil Water Skimmer to the NRLWDS which will

provide additional treatment. The reroute shall be performed in

accordance with the compliance schedule provided in Part IV-B/C of

this permit. The outfall will remain a monitored outfall with

effluent limitations and conditions that will apply until the reroute

iscomplete and, subsequent thereto, if an emergency discharge from

DSN 487B occurs. However, since discharge is expected only on an

overflow basis, monitoring shall be only once per discharge instead

of monthly for all parameters.

effluent from the No. 1 skimmer tank, (DSN 489A) and No. 2 skimmer

tank (DSN 489B). Monitoring at this outfall does not, produce

representative samples as this outfall is subject to tidal influence.

The Permittee has committed to install an oil water separator system

at DSN 489 in its 1993 Application Supplement. The 1993 Application

Supplement indicates that the discharge from the oil water separator

system wil.L. be pumped, thereby eliminating the tidal influence and

allowing the collection of samples representative of the Permittee's

discharge at this DSN. Figure 8 on page 32 of the Fact Sheet/Basis

depicts the influents which discharge'through DSN 489.

OTHER PERMIT REQUIREMENTS

A. Effluent Characterization Study

1. Introduction

The Permittee shall perform an Effluent Characterization Study of

specific discharges to determine whether the discharge of any

pollutant(s) has a reasonable potential to exceed New Jersey surface

water quality standards. The Permittee shall submit a report of the

Study to the Department. After a review of this report, and

consistent with State and Federal regulations (See generally, 40 CFR

Section 122.44 and N.J.A.C. Section 7:14A-1), the Department will

determine'whether Water Quality-Based Effiuent Limitations or

additional modified permit conditions are necessary.


NJ0005622

2. Sampling Locations

a. Non-Contact Cooling Water (DSNs 481-486)

The outfalls discharging once-through non-contact cooling

water are identified as DSNs 481 through 486. DSNs 481, 482

and 483 are related to once-through non-contact cooling water

circulated through Unit #1 and DSNs 484, 485 and 486 are

related to once-through non-contact cooling water circulated

through Unit #2. The character of the discharge from these

o-`alls is similar. All six of the outfalls contain

primarily non-contact cooling water withdrawn from the River.

<' . DSNs 481, 482, 484, and 485 may also contain pollutants fro

low volume waste streams (i.e. NRLWDS and RLW) which are

commingled with the non-contact cooling water prior to

discharge (see discussion above). DSNs 483 and 486 contain

only non-contact cooling water. The Permittee shall be

required to monitor one outfall which is receiving low volume

waste streams at some time during monitoring and one outfall

which is receiving only non-contact cooling water.

The two outfalls to be monitored on the Circulating Water

System discharge will be on the same Unit to ensure that

representative samples are colle cted. The Permittee shall be

required to sample DSN 481 and DSN 483 (Unit #1 discharge).

or pump uniavailability), Permittee shall sample the Unit #2

discharge at DSN .484 and DSN 486. During sample collections

for the Effluent Characterization Study, the effluent from

DSN 48C shall be discharging only through DSN 481.if the

effluent from Unit #1 is being sampled, or only through DSN

484 if the effluent from Unit #2 is being sampled. If the

DSN 48C effluent is discharging through more than one

circulating system outfall during sampling for the Effluent.

Characterization Study, all circulating water outfalls for'

the Unit(s) to which DSN 48C effluent is discharging shall be

sampled. The RLW effluent for the respective Unit shall be

discharging through the outfall being monitored during

Effluent Characterization Study sampling, consistent with

USNRC discharge requirements.

Monitoring, of the non-contact cooling water discharge shall

be performed at the normal location for routine monitoring

for these outfalls.

The Permittee shall perform monitoring of the intake water in

that the discharge consists primarily of non-contact cooling

water withdrawn from the Rivet. The intake water will. be

monitored for the same parameters as the discharge. Samples

will be collected at a point in the circulating water system

after the intake water is mixed.but before the intake water

makes contact with the condenser tube sheets or tubes, such

of 152 Pages*Fact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622

as the inlet water box of.the condenser. Intake monitoring

shall be conducted at the inlets associated with each outfall

being monitored. Since there are two intakes associated with

each. outfall, the Permittee shall sample both intakes for

each outfall monitored to obtain intake samples

representative of the outfall. The intake samples shall be

reported as a single value either by physically compositing

the two samples prior to analysis or by mathematically

averaging the analytical results of individual analyses on

concurrent samples.

b. Non-Radioactive Liquid Waste-Disposal System Discharge

)(DSN 48C) 4

The Non-Radioactive Liquid Waste Disposal System (NRLWDS)

discharge is a low volume waste stream and is monitored at

DSN 4.8C, an internal monitoring location. DSN 48C can

discharge through DSNs 481, 482, 484 and/or 485.

The Permittee shall be required to monitor the effluent waste

stream from DSN 48C at a point after the final clarifier, but

prior to the wastestream being commingled with non-contact

cooling water.

c. oil Water Separator Discharge (DSN 489)

By April 30, 1994, the Permittee shall be required to have

installed an oil water separator at DSN 489 to treat the

effluent from #1 and #2 skim tanks which are currently

monitored as DSNs 469A and 489B. Once the oil water

separator becomes operational, DSNs 489A and 489B will cease

to be outfalls. Accordingly, DSN 48,9A and DSN 489B are not

included in the Effluent Characterization Study. Once the oil

water separator becomes operational, Permittee shall be

required to monitor the discharge from DSN 489.

At the time Effluent Characterization Study sampling is

conducted at DSN 489, Permittee shall be required to collect

samples at DSN 489 from either the discharge of the oil water

separator pumps or the effluent holding chamber of the oil

water separator.

d. Other Outfalls (DSNs 487,, 487B/ 488, 490 and 491)

The Permittee shall not be required to monitor DSNs 487, 488,

490 and 491 as part of the Effluent Characterization Study in

that monitoring requirements and effluent, limitations have

not been imposed in Part III-B/C of the Draft Permit for

these outfalls.

,n addition, once the oil water separator becomes

operational, the P ermittee shall be required to monitor and

report at DSN 489 for pH, PHC, TSS and TOC. As such, the

Permittee will not be required to monitor for these

parameters at DSN 489'as part of this Study.

c. Non-conventional pollutants

The following pollutants were detected in the effluent and/or

have the potential to be discharged from the outfall and are

therefore required to be monitored under the Effluent

4. Schedule

The Permittee shall be required-to conductithe Effluent

Characterization Study monitoring at each designated outfall on

twelve separate sampling events. The Study shall be performed

between EDP and EDP + 18 months.

If a parameter (except for pollutants of concern) is shown to be

consistently less than the recommended quantitation level (<RQL

and/or not detectable - see Part IV-B/C Appendix' I) utilizing an

approved methodology (in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136) and

detection level, in a minimum of the first four 'consecutive analyses,

the monitoring for that parameter may be discontinued from the study-


.NJO005622

Additionally, for once-through cooling water only, a sample may count

as a non-detect towards discontinuance from the effluent

characterization study only if the parameter is detected in the

influent and is either non-detect in the effluent or detected in theeffluent at the same level as or less than the influent.

If a paraneter (except for conventional pollutants) is detected in

one out of the first five sets of samples in the same order of

magnitude (defined as two values having an equal number of figures on

the left. side of the decimal place) as the RQL, and the Permittee has

reason to believe that the detection is "unwarranted", the Permittee

may submit a request in writing to the Department to request a

reduction in monitoring or deletion of the parameter from the Study..

However, this parameter should continue to. be included in the study

until a response is received from the Department.

For priority pollutant scans, if a single (or several) parameter(s)

are detected in one of the first four sets of samples of a particular

scan, and the Permittee has reason to believe that the detection(s)

is "unwarranted", the scan should be. continued as a part of the

study, and data for all parameters in the scan should continue to be

submitted, even though other parameters may be eligible for deletion

from the study. The Permittee may submit a request for deletion of

the entire scan from the study, but should continue to perform the

scans until a response is received from the Department.

The Permittee shall be required to conduct each sampling event foor

each outfall at least 7 days apart and no greater than 60 days apart.

Monitoring for DSN 489 will be. initiated after the oil water

separator becomes operationalaand the minimum sampling frequency (7

days) shall be utilized for data collection. If the Permittee is

unable to conduct a required sampling event within 60 days of the

prior sampling event, the Permittee shall notify the Department and

include the.reason(s) in..the final report. Also,. any sampling

occurring after EDP + 18 months shall be performed weekly, the

minimum monitoring frequency, when discharge is occurring, until 12

samples are collected.

The Permittee shall be required to submit a finalýreport summarizing

the results of the Effluent Characterization Study to the Department

within 90 days from receipt of the last set of laboratory data from

the Study.

5. Evaluation of Data

In order to ensure useful data to characterize, the effluents

monitored, Appendix I contains the RQL for each priority pollutant

(including metals, acid extractables, base/neutrals and volatiles) to

be analyzed. Priority pollutantsý-which are detected by the

instrumentation but below the RQL shall be reportedas less than the

RQL.

The Permittee shall submita final report summarizing the analytical

data from the Effluent Characterization Study. -The final report

shall include the analytical results in tabular format by outfall.

The Permittee shall retain copies of all analytical data includinglaboratory data sheets, for atleast five years following Submittal

of the final report. 'Copies of this data shall be provided to the

Department upon reauest.

B. Dilution Study

As discussed above, the Department must impose water quality-based

effluent limitations if any pollutant(s) has a reasonable potential

to exceed New Jersey Surface Water Quality Standards. 40 CFR

122.44(d) (). To enable the Department to determine the need for

water quality-based effluent limitations, the. Permittee may be

required to perform a Dilution Study.

The Permittee shall conduct a Dilution Study for the non-contact

cooling water outfalls (DSNs 481 " 486) and for DSN 489 if toxic

pollutants are detected in the Effluent Characterization Study for

each outfall, i.e., if after the first four samples any of the

priority pollutants remain in the Effluent Characterization Study or

if the effluent exhibits acute or chronic toxicity at'any outfall

during the Chronic Characterization Study period (See Part IV-B/C).


NJO005622

If the Permittee is required to conduct a Dilution Study, the

Permittee shall submit Dilution Study Work Plan(s) for the respective

outfall(s) to the Department within 90 calendar days of (1) receipt

of the analytical results for the fourth set of Effluent

Characterization Study samples for that respective outfall(s) or (2)

receipt of theDepartment's denial of a request to terminate the

Effluent Characterization Study.

The "critical period(s)" a period of minimal dilution and/br

maximum environmental impact on aquatic life and the designated uses

of the receiving water body - shall be identified by the Permittee in

the Dilution Study Work Plan(s). The Permittee shall commence field

work for any Dilution Study during the first designated "critical

period" which occurs at least 90 calendar days after receipt of

approval by the Department of any Dilution Study Work Plan(s). If a

critical period exists during the 90 calendar days'after approval

from the Department,. the Permittee is not precluded from commencing

the Study during that period.

The model to be utilized in the Dilution Study and the ba-sis for

selection of this model shall be identified in the Dilution Study

work plan. The Permittee has historical data and model analyses

regarding the mixing. of the thermal plume from the discharge of the

non-contact cooling water. The Permittee may use this data and model

analyses in the Dilution Study, however, the Permittee shall also

S. include the bases for utilizing 'this data and model analyses in the


Dilution Study Work Plan. Although no dye testing is required, the

Permittee may utilize Rhodamine WT as a tracer dye without further

approval from the Department. However, the appropriate NJDEPE

Enforcement Element must be notified prior to use of any dye. Since

DSN 489 will be an intermittent discharge, the use of a tracer dye is

not recormended.

The Permittee shall submit to the Department a report of the results

obtained from the Dilution Studies within ninety (90) calendar days

of the date the Permittee completes field work for the Dilution

Studies.

. C. Chronic Toxicity Characterization Study

The requirements for the Chronic Toxicity Characterization Study are

included in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-2.5(a)10 to provide data

on potential chronic effects of the effluent on the survival, growth,

and/or reproduction of the two test species. The results of the

Study will also determine which of the two test species is

consistently most sensitive to the effluent. Multi-species testing

is imposed in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.5(f)l.i and

recommendations in the Technical Support Document for Water Quality-

based Toxics Control (USEPA 1991; EPA-505/2-90-001, March, 1991)

The Permittee shall perform a Chronic Toxicity Characterization Study

for the non-contact coo 1 4T water outfall(s) (DSNs 481 - 486) which


) are receiving the effluent from DSN 48C during the sample event. The

Permittee may choose to align the DSN 48C effluent to a single

circulating water system outfall during sample collection, and thus

be required to perform the chronic *toxicity test on only one outfall

during each required sampling event. The Permittee. shall conduct all

testing in conformance with the guidelines contained in the "Interim

Chronic Toxicity Testing Methodologies for use in the NJPDES Permit

Program, Version 1.0, February 1989").. The laboratory performing the

toxicity testing.• shall be within the existing acute toxicity testing.

laboratory certification program established under N.J.A.C. 7:18-6.

The Chronic Toxicity Characterization Study sampling shall be

conducted on four sampling -events during the Effluent

Characterization Study.period. The first Chronic Toxicity.

Characterization sampling event shall be initiated not later than 30

calendar days after commencement of the Effluent Characterization

Study sampling> Subsequent sampling events shall be conducted at

intervals to ensure the completion of four tests during the period

scheduled for the Effluent Characterization Study but shall be at a

minimum of 30 calendar days apart.

Test results shall be expressed as t'he NOEC (No Observable Effect

Concentration) and the LOEC (Lowest Observable Effect Concentration).,

for each test endpoint.

wPage 101 of 152 PagesSFact Sheet/Basis 1

'NJ0005622

The Test Species shall be sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)

and inland silverside (Menidia beryllina). The tests shall be

performed using split samples. The Permittee may concurrently test

with a third species from among those listed in the methods

specified; however, the species must be approved by the Department

prior to infitiating testing with this third species.

The Chronic .Toxicity Characterization Study shall not be complete

until four tests using split samples on the two species, have been

completed. This study must be completed and a report of the results

must be submitted to the Department by the time the Effluent

Characterization Study is completed.

D. Toxicity Reduction Evaluation 4

The requirements for a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE) (in.

accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-2.5(a)6) are.imposed in the Draft

Permit to ensure that immediate remedial action is initiated in the

event that continuing acute toxicity permit violations occur.

The Permittee shall conduct a TRE if any two acute toxicity tests

conducted in accordance with N.J..A.C. 7:18-6, the Laboratory

Certification Regulations, within any eighteen month period, violate

the acute toxicity limitation in the.permit. In such event, the

initial step should be to identify the variability of the toxicity of

i /

0


the effluent(s) and to verify that an ongoing toxicity problem

exists.

If the Permittee is able to adequately demonstrate that the cause of

the acute toxicity violation is known and corrective actions have

been implemented immediately,, that activity may satisfy the TRE

requirement of the permit. A report of the investigation and

corrective'action shall be submitted to the Department. The

Permittee may conduct additional acute toxicity testing during the

reporting period in connection with fhe investigation or corrective

action. That test will not be considered as one of the two tests

that trigger a TRE only if that test is not a 96 hour definitive test

conducted in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:18-6, the laboratory

certification regulations.

III. SECTION 316(A) VARIANCE AND SECTION 316(B) DETERMINATION

*A. Procedural History

In 1972, Congress enacted the Clean Water Act, which established the

NPDES permitting program requiring, among other things, the

regulation of thermal' discharges and intake structures used for

cooling water withdrawal. The USEPA, which held original

responsibility for administering the NPDES program, delegated its


NJ0005622

program authority to the Department in 1.982, including responsibility

•for determinations under Section 316 of the Clean Water Act.

Section 316(a) of the CWA provides that alternative limits may be

applied to thermal discharges which exceed technology-based or water

quality-based effluent limits, upon a showing that the alternative

effluent limits assure the protection and propagation of a. balanced,

indigenous population of shellfish, fish, and wildlife in and on the

receiving waterbody. Section 316(b) of the CWA provides the

mechanism for a regulatory agency determination as to whether the

location, design, construction, and capacity of the cooling water

intake structure reflect the best technology available for minimizing

•.adverse environmental impact.

In 1973, PSE&G applied to the USEPA for an NPDES permit for Salem

pursuant to the Clean Water. Act.. In 1974, USEPA issued PSE&G an

NPDES permit for the Station. PSE&G submitted an application to the

USEPA in 1974 for a thermal variance from technology-based limits

under Section 316(a). Supplemental data was submitted to the USEPA

and NJDEPE in support of the variance request throughout the 1970's

and 1980's. Pursuant a 1978 consent decree with USEPA (later

incorporated in the Station's 1981 NPDES permit), PSE&G submitted a

Section 316(b) Demonstration in 1984 to the NJDEPE (which had assumed-

NPDES program authority in 1982) concerning the Station's cooling

water intake structure in accordance with a plan of study developed

in concert with various federal, regional and state agencies.


The USEPA deferred action on the Company's Section 316(a) variance

request until completion of a review of the Company's Section 316(b)

Demonstration.

PSE&G prepared and submi.tted a Section 316(b) Demonstration to, among

- other things, evaluate the effects of the cooling system on the

population of aquatic organisms in the Delaware Estuary. Cooling

water intakes, such as the intakes at the Salem Station, can have two

types of effects on aquatic species. The first effect, called

impingement, occurs when organisms are caught on the intake screens.

The second effect called entrainment, occurs when organisms pass

through these screens and the cooling system itself.

A Technical Advisory Group ("TAG"), composed of scientists and

resources managers from the USEPA, New Jersey Department of

Environmental Protection (NJDEP, predecessor to NJDEPE), Delaware

Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC),

National. Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), United State Fish and

Wildlife Service (USFWS), the United States Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, and the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) had a

significant- role in commenting on the plan of study developed.by

PSE&G to evaluate the effects of impingement and entrainment.

The first steps in the development of the plan of study were the

identifi cation of aquatic populations and communities with a low

Of' 152 PagesF'act Sheet/Basis

NJ0005622

potential for impact, which would not require detailed evaluation,

arnd the selection of species for detailed evaluation from communities

deemed to have the potential for significant impact. The species

selected for detailed evaluation are commonly referred to as "target

species" in PSE&G's submittals. (Section 316 Demonstrations for

other power plants using such a "target species" type approach are

commonly referred to as "Representative Important Species" or "RIS"

Demonstrations.) The "target species" studied in PSE&G's submittals

included: Weakfish, Bay anchovy, White perch, Spot, Atlantic

croaker, Alewife, Blueback herring, American shad, Striped bass,

Opossum shrimp, and Gammarus (scud)

The plan of study, as approved by USEPA and followed by PSE&G,

included: (1) impingement and entrainment abundance and survival E

monitoring; (2) collection of distribution and abundance data with

emphasis on primary Target Species (Weakfish,. White perch, and Bay

Anchovy).; (3) application of quantitative mathematical models to

place -plant losses into a population or community perspective; and

(4) impact analyses for other (secondary) Target Species. The

indices used for examinations (prediction) of losses to target

species included conditional mortality rates (estimates of percent

reduction in the population study area due to plant operations in the -

absence of all other sources of mortality), equivalent adult, loss,

production foregone, and lost reproductive potential.


PSE&G's 1984 Demonstration concluded that various communities of

aquatic organisms occurring in the Delaware Estuary have a limited

potential for adverse, impact due to their preferred habitats being

.located beyond the zone of the Station's influence. These

communities include the vascular plants and associated animals

resident in the extensive marsh/littoral habitat zones along the

estuarine shorelines, the aquatic plants, and invertebrate species

residing in or on the bottom of the Es'tuary, and the -organisms

residing downriver of the Station's influence or those occurring in

freshwater tributaries of the Estuary.

PSE&G's 1984 Demonstration also concluded, in support of the TAG

determination, that most planktonic communities, due to their high

capacity to withstand localized stress, have a low potential for

adverse impact. This conclusion was based on studies of power plants

at other estuarine sites. These studies have repeatedly demonstratedthat planktonic communities have high entrainment survival rates

and/or a high capacity to withstand localized stresses. These

.communities, which are composed of the most abundant organisms in the,

water entrained by Salem, include the microbial decomposers,

phytoplankton, and nano- and micro-zooplankton communities.- These

communities' high capacity to withstand localized stresses results

from their short generation times and high reproductive rates, their

relatively high entrainment survival rate, and the transport and

rapid dispersion of these planktonic organisms 'throughout- the Estuary

by water movements. High entrainment survival rates of these species

. ...- "-. ... __-.,•- --:• . :., ,:,:. ;: •n : " .- •.-- ....-.... -7.---•,•.-- .- . _ _: • :_ __ _ - ---• -__ _ .... _ _.. .


are probably attributable to the organisms' higher tolerance of

thermal and mechanical stresses and rapid transit time through the

cooling water system.

The nUmberof the Target Species lost due to entrainment and

impingement were estimated by PSE&G based upon on densities of

organisms -in the intake flow, their entrainment or impingement

survival rates, and the cooling water flow rates. Losses were

predicted by using established biological models, such as conditional

mortality, equivalent adult loss, production foregone, and lost

reproductive potential. The resulting analysis was used, together

with other available information, to assess the potential impact of

.. the Station's cooling, water. intake system on the Target Species. -

PSE&G filed its Section 316(b) Demonstration with the NJDEPE in 1984.

The Demonstration presented and integrated information regarding:

(1). the plant and its operations; (2) the Delaware Estuary system;

(3) life histories of the Target Species; (4) results of monitoring

programs; (5) predictive model results; (6) alternative technologies

and their costs; and (7) conclusions relative to the Station's

cooling water system intake effects.

PSE&G's 1984 Demonstration concluded that the Station was not causing

and would not cause an adverse environmental impact based on a

consideration of the following factors: assessment of mathematical

model resu-•; the conservatism of the models; the known resilience

of .152 PagesFact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622

or capacity of populations to recover or compensate for losses; the

magnitude of other known sources of exploitation; and, species

composition and abundance in a limited area. within the vicinity of

the Station prior to and .after Salem began operations. Sufficient

*long-term trend data regarding relative abundance of the species of

concern throughout the Estuary was not available at the time the 1984

Demonstration was prepared.,

Versar Review

In April 1986, the Department retained Martin Marietta Environmental

Systems (later to become Versar, Inc., "'Versar".) to conduct a

technical review of PSE&G! s Variance Request and its Section 316(b)

Demonstration. In September 1986, Versar prepared a report for

NJDEPE entitled Technical Review and Evaluation of Thermal Effects

Studies and Cooling Water Intake Structure Demonstration of Impact

for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station - Final Report.

In 1987, the Department convened a technical workshop in-an effort to

identify, understand, and resolve differences among the experts

relative to the findings and conclusions in Versar's 198.6 Report.

Representatives from the following organizations attended the

technical workshop: PSE&G and it's consultants; the Department;

DNREC; DRBC; NMFS; and USFWS. Subsequent to the technical workshop,

there were follow-up exchanges of information between PSE&G's

( consultants and Versar-concerning inputs to mathematical models.

NJ0005622

N4

In 1988, in response to the Department's request, PSE&G submitted,

written comments (including information PSE&G presented during the

technical workshop) relative to Versar's 1986 Report. PSE&G's

submrissioh included comments concerning Versar's application of

mathematical models, selection of model input parameters (e.g.,

natural survival rates and sampling gear efficiency), interpretation

of model results and utilization of numerical decision criteria

concerning acceptable levels of impact.

In 1989, Versar prepared a revised report, entitled Technical Review

and Evaluation of Thermal Effects Studies and Cooling Water Intake

Structure Demonstration ofý Impact for the Salem Nuclear Generating

Station - Revised Final Report ("1989 Versar Report"). In this

report, Versar adjusted downward from its 1986 Report loss estimates

for certain target species.

Versar concluded that adverse effects from the thermal discharges

"were small and localized and not a major source of impact" and,

therefore, "do not need-to be reduced to protect the balanced

indigenous populations." 1989 Versar Report at V1-l.

Notwithstanding this conclusion, Versar further concluded that the

Station had the potential for long-term adverse environmental impact

for five (5) target species (Weakfish., White perch, Spot, Bay

Anchovy, and Opossum shrimp). 1989 Versar Report at V1-3 through Vi-

( . 4. )4


As noted above in the Fact Sheet, PSE&G applied in June 1990 for a

renewal of the Station's NJPDES permit. PSE&G's 1990 Permit

Application renewed the Company's request, 'pursuant to Section 316(a)

of the CWA, for a variance from New Jersey's thermal surface water

quality standards for the Station's once-through cooling water

discharges. At that time, the NJDEPE also had under review a best

technology available determination pursuant to Section 316(b)

relative to the Station's cooling water intake system.

B. October 3, 1990 Draft NJPDES Permit

On October 3, 1.990, NJDEPE issued the 1990 Draft Permit for the

Station, accompanied by.a Fact Sheet and Statement of Basis ("1990

Fact Sheet") providing~the Department's basis for the proposed

permit. Based upon the administrative record developed as of that

time, the. Department concluded that "PSE&G [had] failed to meet the

burden of proof necessary to. entitle it to a variance [from thermal

effluent limitations] pursuant to Section 316(a) of the. ederal Clean

Water Act." 1990 Fact Sheet p. 50. The Department also found that

S... recirculating cooling towers [were] the Best Available

Technology (BAT) for controlling the thermal component of the

discharges at the facility and (were] the Best Technology Available

(BTA) for minimizing adverse environmental impacts resulting from the

cooling water intake'structure at.the facility," 1990 Fact Sheet

p.2.


,J

The 1990 Fact Sheet noted that empirical plume survey data indicated

that water quality standards for June through August .(AT no more

than 1.5 0 F (0.8 0 C), maximum temperature of 86'F (30 0 C), except in

heat dissipation areas) were exceeded more than one mile from Salem's

cooling water discharge. 1990 Fact Sheet p. 46. DRBC and NJDEPE

regulations provide that the temperature limitations may be exceeded

by special permission in case-by-case heat dissipation areas but that

these areas must not exceed 3,500 feet in length. 1990 Fact Sheet p.

46.

Although the Department noted that the thermal plume exceeds the

surface water quality standard, the Department's conclusion that

closed cycle cooling should be required was not primarily based on an

assessment of the impacts of the Station's thermal discharge on the

aquatic community. The 1990 Fact Sheet noted Versar's conclusions

"that adverse effects from the thermal loading would likely be

restricted to a few species at temperature extremes and that [such]

adverse effects are likely to be localized." 1990 Fact Sheet p. 46.

Rather, the Department's decision to deny the PSE&G Variance Request

was primarily based on a concern regarding losses due to entrainment

and impingement. The Fact Sheet specifically notes that PSE&G failed

to meet its burden of proof necessary to entitle it to a Section

316(a) variance "based on Versar's conclusion that the applicant did

not demonstrate compliance with the criteria established in Section

OJ 152 PagesFact-Sheet/Basis9 'NJ0005622

316(a) based on PSE&G modeling results [concerning intake effects]-"

1990 Fact Sheet p. 50.

The Department noted that Versar concluded that Salem did not meet

decision criteria for bay anchovy, weakfish, opossum shrimp, and. spot

because of "[1]arge population and production losses" and for

weakfish and white perch because "[plopulation and production losses

to. [Representative Important Species]... are a relatively large

fraction of commercial and recreational fisheries." 1990 Fact Sheet

p. 51.

The Department noted that Versar's conclusion was based, in part, on

other asserted deficiencies in data or studies concerning -the PSE&G

Variance Request such as "limited data on indirect and non-thermal

effects, integration of thermal preference and tolerance data with

environmentai temperature distribution, lack of empirical

verification of assumptions, and lack of data on habitat formers and

nuisance species." 1990 Fact Sheet p. 50.

The Department determined that a major reduction in entrainment and

impingement was needed, that the cooling tower technology provides

the highest degree of protection of any currently available

technology and, finally, that " ... closed cycle cooling ... is a.

demonstrated technology available for application at the Salem

Nuclear Generating Station." 1990 Fact Sheet p. 5 4 .


"NJ0005622

' C. Comments - 1990 Draft Permit

1. Background

In response to the 1990 -Draft Permit and accompanying Fact Sheet, the

Department received a .number of comments from the public and from

state and federal agencies. Written comments were filed by eighteen

(18) individuals and agencies, including PSE&G, USEPA, and other

government entities.

Other than the comments provided by USEPA and PSE&G, the comments

reflected the strong desire of the public to protect the aquatic,

resources in the Delaware Estuary and, further, generally supported

the Department's decision to require installation of the closed cyc

cooling to protect those resources. These comments are summarized in

Attachment D of the Permit.

The most extensive comments were filed by the USEPA and PSE&G. Among

other things, the USEPA comments stated, in pertinent part, that

Section 316(b) determinations consider the technology to be applied

to cooling water intake structures and that unlike Section 316(a)

variance determinations, the decision is subject to economic

considerations. The EPA comments further stated that the economic

test is based on the Seabrook Decision, In the Matter of Public

Service Co. of New Hampshire (Seabrook Stations, Unit 1 and 2), Case

No. 76-7, slip. op. at 11. (June 10, 1977), wherein the USEPA

of 152 Pages


Administrator stated that ". ... it is [notl reasonable to interpret

Section 316(b). as requiring [the) use of technology whose cost is

wholly disproportionate to the environmental benefit to be gained.".

The USEPA comments indicated that, while there were no published

USEPA guidelines relating to what constitutes wholly

disproportionate, "[if]. the costs of closed cycle cooling ... 1were)

found to be wholly disproportionate, other forms of available intake

technology could be required." In addition, the USEPA Comments

referred the Department to USEPA decisions with respect to power

plant assessments including In the Matter of Crystal River Power

Plant Units 1, 2 and 3 (Florida Power Corporation), NPDES Permit No.

FL0000159 (revised Findings and Tentative Determinations Pursuant to

.33 U.S.C. §1326, September 1, 1988) ("Crystal River Determination"),

wherein the USEPA determined that the costs of the retrofitting the

Crystal River Power Plant with closed cycle cooling were wholly

disproportionate to the environmental benefits to.'be gained and,

further, that construction of a fish hatchery, among other measures,

constituted minimization of environmental impacts of the cooling

water intake structure as required by Section 316(b).

2. PSE&G Comments

PSE&G's 1991 Comments presented substantial scientific (See

Appendices C, -E, F, H, I and P), engineering (See Appendices J and

K), and economic data (See Appendices K, L and.M) not part of the

administrative record upcn which the Department determined that


closed cycle cooling was required. Accordingly, the Department

believes it appropriate to summarize the relevant aspects of the new

scientific, engineering, and economic data presented in PSE&G's 1991

Comments..

a. Application for Section 316(a) Variance

PSE&G's 1991 Comments presented empirical and modeling data on the

thermal plume, analyses integrating the plume data with thermal

tolerance data for the Representative Important Species, and data and

information responding to the deficiencies identified by Versar in

its 1989 Report relative to PSE&G's thermal variance application (See

(. ) Appendices E, F and P) 1990 Fact Sheet, Page 50.

i. Thermal Plume Characteristics

Because the Station had not commenced commercial operation in 1974,

PSE&G's 1974 Section 316(a) variance application was based on

anticipated or predictive thermal plume characteristics. Subsequent

to filing the Variance Request, and after commercial operations

began, PSE&G performed a thermal monitoring program to collect

empirical data on plume characteristics under operating conditions.

Based on data from this thermal monitoring program, the thermal plume'

characteristics are described in Appendix E to PSE&G's 1991 Comments,

and may be summarized as follows:

9


The discharge exits from six pipes at the bottom of the River at a

center line pipe depth of approximately 31 feet below mean sea level,

about 500 feet offshore, at a discharge velocity of about 10.5 feet

per second. The momentum of the water as it exits from the

underwater discharge pipes causes rapid mixing with the cooler river

water.

ii. Integration of Thermal Preference Data WithThermal Plume Characteristics

PSE&G's Comments presented a biothermal assessment, which integrated

species temperature preference data with plume characteristic data to

evaluate the potential for impact on populations of organisms

encountering the plume. 1991 Comments, Appendix F.

iii. Indirect and Non-Thermal Effects

PSE&G's Comments also presented data relating to indirect and non-

thermal influences on these aquatic organisms (1991 Comments,

Appendix F). As part of the biothermal assessment, the 1991 Comments

presented an assessment of the interaction of the thermal plume and

its potential to affect other-parameters (i.e. dissolved oxygen,

chlorine, toxics, and bacteria) which may adversely impact aquatic

organisms. 1991 Comments, Appendix F.

k

The assessmentconcluded that dissolved oxygen in the River in the

vicinity of the Station continues to achieve the water quality

9


standards desired for attaining fishable water quality; that

chlorine, with or without the thermal plume, has no adverse impact on

the ecosystem; and, that the levels of toxics and bacteria are not

preventing attainment of fishable and swimmable water quality.

b. Section 316(b) Demonstration

The assessment of potential impact presented in PSE&G's 1984 Section

316(b) Demonstration was based primarily on a predictive methodology.

The updated impact assessment provided by PSE&G in the 1991 Comments

utilized both predictive and empirical methodologies, evaluating the

model results in conjunction with available abundance and catch data.

PSE&G's 1991 Comments (Appendices I and P) supplemented the

administrative record relating to the Section 316(b) determination

and included updated estimates of potential impact based on: (1) new

information on the life history of weakfish, (i.e., natural survival

rates between life stages); (2) use of a revised assessment model

incorporating factors to account for source population distribution

to estimate spot entrainment conditional mortality; (3) new

information concerning the distribution of bay anchovy in the

Delaware Estuary; (4) inclusion of correction factors for entrainment

sampling gear efficiency; and (5) updated information on plant

operating conditions based on longer historical records (e.g., no CWS

chlorination, CWS intake flow rates, and entrainment thermal exposure

times)


A compilation of long-term juvenile abundance data and available

recreational .and commercial fisheries catch data for the four fish

Target Species in dispute were also presented (1991 Comments,

Appendix H) These empirical data were obtained from. various

regulatory and resource management agencies.' studies conducted to

monitor the status and trends of long-term abundance and recruitment.

Lastly, PSE&G's 1991 Comments presented detailed engineering

information for capital, O&M, and replacement power cost estimates

associated with retrofitting the Station with a closed cycle cooling

system. Information relating to the engineering, costs estimates and

biological efficacy of other. alternate intake technologies was also

presented. 1991 Comments, Appendices J, K and L..

Additional engineering analyses relative to retrofitting the Station

with cooling towers were presented and include: engineering and

construction details for, and cost estimates associated with, the

proposed retrofit; a description of other modifications :(e.g.,

- condensers, piping) required to retrofit Salem with cooling towers,

and their associated costs; cost estimates for replacement energy,. if

necessary due.to Station shutdown during construction or the loss of

Station efficiency due to closed cycle cooling. 1991 Comments,

Appendices K and L.

PSE&G's engineering details indicate that retrofitting the Station9


NJO005622,

• -I

with a closed-cycle cooling system would involve a complicated and

wide-scale construction effort. PSE&G indicates that the project

would involve: the excavation of over 1/4 million cubic yards of

soil, 75,000 cubic yards of which would require off-site disposal;

the demolition of large quantities of the existing circulating water

system piping and supports; installation of. over 4 miles of 7 foot

diameter pipe; and wholesale removal of existing single-pass

condensers and replacement with two-pass modular units. In addition

to the construction of the cooling towers themselves (i.e. two

natural draft cooling towers approximately 540 feet high or six

mechanical draft cooling towers 250 ft. in diameter and 70 ft. high),

PSE&G indicates that the retrofit would also require the construction

of a. new pump house, chemical control system structures, a new major

electrical power distribution system, to operate recirculating water

pumps, a make-up water system, and a blowdown system and associated

chemical. control facilities. Due to soil and subsurface conditions,

PSE&G indicates that all heavy structure would require deep pile

foundations. 1991 Comments, Appendix K.

PSE&G estimates that capital expenditures for the retrofit ranged

from $475 for natural draft cooling towers to $625 million for

mechanical draft towers. PSE&G further estimates that annual

operating and maintenance costs would increase by approximately $4

million. PSE&G indicates that Station electrical output would be

reduced during the summer period by approximately 128 MWe, based on

the use of natural draft cooling, towers. PSE&G further indicates

PSE&G's 1991 Comments indicate that. neither natural draft' cooling

towers nor mechanical draft cooling towers are technically capable of

meeting the 1990 Draft Permit operating.. requirement of a 10' F

approach temperature. 1991 Comments, Appendix K. PSE&G further

indicated that approach temperatures are only used -by engineers as a

design criteria and are not reasonable as an operating requirement.

While natural draft and mechanical draft cooling towers could in

theory be designed to a 100 F approach, PSE&G concludes that they

cannot achieve a 100 F approach as an operating requirement.

PSE&G's 1991 Comments also presented an evaluation of five

alternative technologies considered to have the potential for

minimizing entrainment and impingement: wedgewire screens; variable

-speed pumps, fine-mesh screens, behavioral barriers, and modified


fish lifting buckets for the existing Ristroph screens. See 1991

Comments, Appendix J. For the reasons summarized below, PSE&G's

Comments concluded that none of these five technologies could be

considered "best technology available" for application at Salem.

PSE&G's Comments on these technologies are summarized below:

Wedgewire Screens

Wedgewire screens have been shown to be effective in reducing fish

impingement and entrainment at several power plants. PSE&G concluded

that wedgewire screens cannot be demonstrated to be an available

technology for application at Salem in that:

Salem's cooling water flow rate is more than five times the flow

rate of any facility at which this technology has been applied;

• Suspended solids and detrital loadings are substantial,

increasing the potential for screen clogging;

The kinds of organisms associated with brackish waters in the

vicinity of Salem create the potential for a significant -

biofouling problem. Given the submerged off-shore design of the

screen elements, substantial maintenance and biofouling control

difficulties could be created.

PSE&G estimated the installation costs for a wedgewire system at


NJ0005622

Salem range from $44 to $120 million, depending upon required design.

The replacement power costs associated with construction power

outages were estimated by PSE&G at $445 million.

Variable Speed Pumps

Flow reduction through the installation of variable speed pumps has

been proposed at other power plants to address entrainment mortality.

The reduction in flow rate achievable with variable speed pumps would

be expected to result in higher condenser temperatures, increased.

entrainment transit time, and a higher discharge temperature. While

flow reduction alone might produce some reductions in the number of

organisms entrained, PSE&G commented that the greater thermal stress

may increase entrainment mortality dependent on ambient river

temperatures. 1991 Comments,. Appendix J. Replacement power costs

associated with a 10% reduction in Station electric output

(associated with a 32% summer flow reduction), for instance, were

estimated by PSE&G to be $35 million for 1995 escalating to $144

million by the end of the useful life of, the Station. 1991 Comments,

Appendix J; Stone & Webster, May 1988.

Fine Mesh Screens

Several different configurations of fine mesh screens have been

installed and are in operation at other.power plants. Fine mesh

screens reduce fish entrainment, commented pSE&G, but do so by


impinging fish (that otherwise would be entrained) on the screen

mesh. The overall mortality, however, of certain species may

increase, PSE&G indicated because early life stages (i.e., eggs and

larvae) that may survive entrainment are lost due to the different

stresses associated with impingement on the screen surface.

Decreased open surface area of the screens may present substantial

operation and maintenance difficulties. Simple replacement of the

existing screen panels with fine mesh panels would not be an

available technology due. to the presence of severe biofouling and

detrital loading conditions at Salem, and the necessity to reduce

intake velocity to improve the survival of early stage of fish which

would be impinged instead of entrained.

Construction of a new screening structure would achieve the lower,

velocities which may improve potential fish survival. Full-scale

prototype testing would be required, however, to determine whether,N

the screens would operate in the river environment near the Station

and to determine whether impingement and entrainment and related

mortality rates would be reduced below existing levels. -Costs for

such a structure were estimated by PSE&G at approximately $80

million.

Behavioral Barriers

* Strobe lights to repel or divert fish from water intakes have been

tested at power plants and hydro-electric facilities with varying


success. PSE&G commented that there has, however, been no

demonstrated application of this technology at any power plant water

intake and that turbid river conditions at Salem would preclude

successful application of this technology. 1991 Comments, Appendix

J.

The use of sound to repel or divert fish from water intakes has also

been tested at power plants and at hydro-electric facilities with

varying success. American Electric Power Service Corporation has

recently developed a low-frequency sound technology that has been

proven to be somewhat successful in repelling trout and salmon in

pilot tests at hydro-electri6 facilities. PSE&G commented that there

0has, however, been no demonstrated application of this technology.

The capital cost to install a low-frequency. sound technology was

estimated by PSE&G to be approximately $1 million.

Modified Ristroph Screens

_ Improved fish buckets designed to minimize stress to, and prevent

escape of, impinged fish have been tested in the laboratory and at a

power plant on the Hudson River. These tests (laboratory. flume and

pilot field tests) indicate that the. design may significantly reduce

mortality of impinged fish.' PSE&G commented that there was, however,

no demonstrated application of this technology as of that time.

* Costs of the modified fish buckets were estimated by PSE&G to be in

,,excess of $1.5 million.


E. PSE&G 1993 Application Supplement

On March 4., 1993, PSE&G filed the 1993 Application Supplement which

proposed Special Conditions for a proposed Draft Permit in support of

the Company's request for a.BTA determination under Section 316(b)

and a thermal variance request under Section 316(a).

As part of the Company's 1993 Application Supplement, the Company

submitted a Technical Appendix which provides the scientific and

technical basis for the proposed. Special Conditions to the Draft

Permit for resolution of PSE&G's Variance Request and the

Department's Section 316(b) BTA determination. PSE&G's proposed

Special .Conditions and the technical justification therefor may be

summarized as follows:

PSE&G Proposed Special Condition No. 1:

limitation of the circulating water system ("CWS") intake flow to

a monthly average rate not to exceed 3,024 MGD.

PSE&G Technical Justification:

The impingement/entrainment loss estimates presented in the Salem

Section 316(b) Demonstration relied upon a calculated cooling water

intake volume based upon the :assumption that the circulating water


pumps in service operated at 100 percent of design capacity. The CWS

design flow is calculated to be 3,197 MGD.

PSE&G proposes to limit the maximum CWS intake flow so that the flow

will not exceed a 30-day average of 3,024 MGD. PSE&G will commit to

a 30-day average flow permit limit on CWS flow of 3,024 MGD, which in

effect limits the average for each circulating pump to 175,000 GPM.


modify the design of the fish buckets on the intake screens in

accordance with a design plan to be prepared by PSE&G.


Flume tests indicate that flow through the standard Ristroph screen

may create a vortex in the fish buckets which can result in fish

being repeatedly buffeted against the screen surfaces and damaged by

abrasion.. A modification to the fish bucket design has been

demonstrated in flume studies that will reduce the vortex current and

create a somewhat sheltered region where the fish are able to

maintain a stable, upright position.

In addition, with the standard Ristroph design, fish, tend to escape,

from the fish buckets as the screen rotation lifts them out of the

water, resulting in reimpingement and increased injury or death. As


part of the modification, a short auxiliary screen was added to the

leading edge of *each fish bucket to prevent escape of the fish. This

modification also creates a hydrodynamic condition favorable to fish

capture in the fish *buckets. Flume tests indicate that many of the

fish that move into the vicinity of the screen face tend to dive

behind the auxiliary screen and into the fish bucket. By contrast,

fish swimming in the flow above the unmodified fish buckets tend to

avoid the buckets and are repeatedly reimpinged.

Screen intake modifications were installed at Indian Point Power

Plant on the Hudson River by July 1991. Data from a pilot study at

Indian Point, which involved several of the fish species common to

Delaware Bay, i.e. white perch, bay anchovy and weakfish, indicate

that the proposed modification will increase survival of impinged

organisms. Qualitative studies indicate improved impingement

survival rates.


restoration, enhancement and/or preservation of wetlands in the

Delaware River Basin including:

a. the restoration or enhancement of an aggregate of at least

8,000 acres, of land in the Delaware River Basin such that a

minimum of 4,000. acres of diked wetlands (i.e., salt hay

farms, muskrat impoundments and agricultural impoundments)


of the 8,000 acres be restored to (i) tidal flow and (ii)

the remaining acres of degraded wetlands, i.e., common reed

(Phragmites australis), be converted primarily to-naturally

occurring Spartina alterniflora as well as other naturally

occurring indigenous marsh grasses (e.g. Distichlis

spicata, Juncus spp.), all as more particularly described

in a management plan to be approved by the Department. The

lands restored or enhanced will have appropriate title

ownership or restrictions to assure continued protection

from development;

b. the restoration or enhancement of an additional 2,000 acres

of wetlands of the kind described in (a) above or the

preservation from future development through the

acquisition or imposition of conservation easements of at

least 6,000 acres of uplands adjacent to tidal wetlands

within the Delaware River Basin; and,

c. imposition of a deed restriction to preclude future

development of approximately 4,500 acres of land, commonly

known as the Company's Bayside Tract in Greenwich Township,

Cumberland County, approximately 2,600 acres of which are

wetlands and approximately 1,900 acres of which are.

uplands.



PSE&G provides a detailed technical justification for this Special

Condition in the Technical Appendix to its 1993 Application

supplement. This technical justification is briefly discussed below.

Estuarine wetlands are valuable natural resources. The entire

wetland complex in temperate zone estuaries, such as the Delaware

Estuary, produces a large amount of plant material which, after being

reduced to detritus, forms the food base for all the aquatic

organisms. On an equivalent area basis, estuarine wetlands are among

the most productive ecosystems on earth. Much of the production of

fish and shellfish in coastal ecosystems is associated with wetlands.

In addition, wetlands provide excellent spawning and nursery area for

a myriad of aquatic organisms.

The species at issue at Salem (white perch, spot, weakfish, bay

anchovy, and opossum shrimp) are all consumer organisms in the

Delaware Estuary food web. Wetland systems in the Delaware Estuary

.. provide foraging and refuge habitat, serve as nursery areas for early

life stages and juveniles, "and provide direct food resources. For

these reasons, increased wetlands in the Delaware Estuary will

contribute directly to the increased abundance of these species.

Because wetlands in the Delaware Estuary support production of the

species at issue, wetlands restoration and enhancement will minimize.

S.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .,.. -r------------------ -

the effects of Salem-related losses by increasing productivity of

these species. Wetlands restoration and enhancement, also benefits

the other species dependent on the productivity derived from the

wetlands.

Wetland production (estimated by the aggregated food chain model) was

related directly to biomass estimated to be. lost by the Station's

operations in order to estimate the wetlands restoration acreage

required to almost completely minimize adequately the effects of

Salem-related.losses by increasing the population of these species.

The food chain model estimates the production of fish biomass per

acre based on the biological conversion of wetland plant productivity

through the food chain to the fish species at issue. Primary

productivity per acre of wetland per year and food chain transfer

conversion factors were derived from published, peer-reviewed

scientific literature and were employed in this calculation using

information specific to the Delaware Estuary, where available.

Based on the estimates of fish biomass lo.st and estimates of

productivity per acre of wetland presented in the Company's Technical

Appendix, PSE&G initially calculated that 2,425 acres of wetlands was

appropriate to increase the overall populations so as to minimize the

effects of Station-related losses, thereby assuring the protection

and propagation of a balance indigenous population. PSE&G has

proposed the number of acres of wetlands to be restored or enhanced

to a minimum of 8,000 acres.

I

PSE&G Proposed Special Condition No. 4

Implement a program for the elimination of impediments to fish

migration through the installation of fish ladders at up to five

candidate sites in consultation with the Department.

PSE&G Technical Justification

River herring serve as forage for a variety of important commercial

and recreational species, e.g., bluefish, white perch, weakfish, and

striped bass. Many of .the tributary streams and rivers utilized by

river herring for spawning along the Atlantic Coast of the United

States have been dammed or otherwise blocked for industrial,

irrigation, recreational, or flood control purposes. Concerns over

the effects of the loss of such spawning habitat on the stocks of

river herring (and other anadromous fishes) have led to strong

efforts in other river systems to provide fish passageways around

these impediments to create spawning runs for river herring in

tributary streams.

Recognizing the potential benefits of providing access to spawning

habitat now blocked by dams, the Department has conducted a number of

surveys of tributaries to the Delaware as part of the Department's

anadromous herring run restoration program to ascertain the presence

or absence of river herring runs and to identify specific sites which


* NJ0005622

may benefit from the installation of fishways. These surveys

identified numerous barriers to potential herring passage within the

Delaware system and recommended theinstallation of fishways around

obstructions to anadromous herring runs where such a fishway would

provide -access to upstream spawning and nursery areas.

Restoration of anadromous river herring runs will increase river

herring production, increase available forage for important

commercial and recreational species (including certain of the Target

Species at issue), and increase commercial and recreational fishing

opportunities in the tributary streams to the Delaware. Scientific

studies show that river herring also may provide increased growth

rates for freshwater gamefish in impounded. waters to which they are

introduced which could lead to greater freshwater fishing

opportunities.

PSE&G Proposed Special Condition'No. 5

Conduct a study to evaluate the feasibility of using sound to

divert fish away from the CWS intake.

PSE&G Technical Justification

PSE&G proposes to conduct a study to evaluate the feasibility of

utilizing sound to divert fish away from the CWS intake. 'Successful

diversion of fish from the area of the CWS intake would reduce the


number of fish impinged onto the intake screen thereby reducing

Salem-related losses.

Recent laboratory and.field tests have indicated some success in,

diverting- certain fish species from specific areas, including cooling

water intake structures through the use of sound generating devices,

such as underwater speakers or sound projectors. Unlike poppers and

hammers-, these devices are capable of varying the frequency and

producing sounds heard by fish.

PSE&G Proposed Special -Condition No. 6

* Conduct a Department-approved biological monitoring program for

the Estuary consisting of bay-wide abundance monitoring and

impingement and entrainment monitoring.


The biological monitoring program will consist of bay-wide monitoring

of abundance of fish and macroinvertebrates throughout the Estuary,

monitoring of impingement and entrainment, monitoring of detrital.

production, and monitoring of residual pesticide release..

Long-term abundance data will provide information as to population

status of.various aquatic species compared to past levels,

information on the factors- that may cause changes in theirI--

'4 Page 134 of 152 PagesFact Sheet/BasisNJ0005622

")populations over time and provide a basis for better understanding

the interactions and relationships between the species so as to apply

this knowledge in making prudent resource management decisions. The

program will be conducted pursuant to a work plan approved by the

Department. Monitoring results will be reported to the Department in

accordance with a schedule incorporated in the work plan.

Components of the program will include: nearfield and farfield

abundance monitoring for fish and macroinvertebrates; along shore and

salt marsh tributary sampling for fish.which use the shallow water

areas of the Estuary;. onsite impingement and entrainment monitoring;

and, special studies to investigate specific issues of concern to the

Department, including detrital production monitoring.

IV. SECTION 316 DETERMINATIONS

1. Introduction

* 7>

In the 1990 Draft Permit, a determination was made that closed cycle

cooling was an "available technology... [for reducing] the adverse

effects of the cooling water intake and thermal discharge which

threaten[ed] the balanced, indigenous Community of receiving waters.

.. 1990 Draft Permit, p. 54. Emphasis Added. This determination

was made under Section 316(a) after considering both thermal

discharge and intake effects on the "protection and propagation of a

balance indigenous population". Having made that determination, the


Department concluded that closed cycle cooling was also BTA for

minimizing adverse environmental impact under Section 316(b)

USEPA's comments on the 1990 Draft Permit referred the Department to

USEPA determinations in other power plant cases under Section 316.

Two USEPA references to Decisions of General Counsel discuss the

relationship between Sections 316(a) and (b). In Re Central Hudson

Gas and Electric Corporation, OGC 63, 2ELPS.Fed. Ref. Service, USEPA,

NPDES Permits 371 (July 29, 1977) and OGC 75, 2ELPS Fed. Ref.

Service, USEPA, NPDES Permits 441 (January 15, 1979) While

acknowledging that the application of Section 316(a) and Section

316(b) should be coordinated to the extent possible,. Opinion No. 63

provides, in pertinent part, that "... conditions may be imposed

under Section 316(b) independent of any proceeding to modify an

effluent limitation under Section 316(a)..." (OGC 63, 2ELPS at 378)

and, further, that "... there is no legal basis for predicating

determinations under Section 316(b) on determinations under Section

316(a).". OGC 63, 2ELPS at 379.

With respect to the thermal component of the Station's discharge, the

Department, in the 1990 Draft Permit stated that its consultant had

concluded that adverse effects from the thermal loading would be

"restricted" and did not need to be reduced to protect the balanced

indigenous population. In sum, the administrative record

demonstrated that the thermal component of Salem's discharged assured

the protection. and propagation of a balanced, indigenous population.


The Department was primarily concerned with the impingement and

entrainment effects resulting from operation of the cooling water

intake .structure when it denied PSE&G's.request for a Section .3 16(a)

variance.

As USEPA's comments indicated while economic considerations may not

be considered under Section 316(a), economic considerations are a

factor under Section 316(b). When the Department determined to* deny

the Section 316(a) variance in the 1990 Draft Permit, closed cycle.

.cooling was determined to be necessary in order for the Station's

discharge to meet limitations based on New Jersey'.s thermal surface

water quality standards. Because economic considerations may not be

.*considered under Section.316(a), the Department was not able to

consider cost as part of its decision to require closed cycle cooling

under Section 316(a) in the 1990 Draft Permit. While some dispute

may yet exist as to the exact costs, the Department agrees that

retrofitting the Station with closed cycle cooling would involve a

complicated and wide-scale construction project entailing substantial

costs.

Based on the comments received on the 1990 Draft Permit, the

Department has decided to reconsider the section 316 determinations

set forth in the .1990 Draft Permit.

0


2. Section 316 (b) Best Technology Available Determination

Under Section 316.(b), the Department must determine whether the

location, design, construction, and capacity of Station's intake

structure reflects the best technology available (BTA) for minimizing

adverse environmental impact. At the time the 1990 Draft Permit was

issued, the Department's and PSE&G's experts disagreed as to whether

the Station's cooling water intake structure was having an adverse

environmental impact on the aquatic life in the. Bay. Versar, the

Department's consultant, concluded that the intake structure had the

potential to cause long-term adverse environmental impact to five of

the eleven Target Species studied in PSE&G's Section 316(b)

Demonstration. PSE&G's Demonstration concluded that the existing

intake structure was BTA pursuant to Section 316(b). The

disagreement between Versar and PSE&G's consultants was primarily

based on several variables and assumptions used in the mathematical

models as well as the interpretation of the model results.

PSE.&G's 1991 comments presented revised model estimates for certain

of the species at issue. Despite. the revised model estimates of

losses, disagreement still exists between PSE&G and the Department

regarding the potential for adverse impact from the Station's cooling

water intake structure. The Department determines that a potential

for adverse impacts from, the cooling water intake structure still

exists necessitating the implementation of BTA for the minimization

of adverse impacts under Section 316(b).


Decisions under Section 316(b) concerning BTA for cooling water

intake structures require a case-by-case determination and should

include an evaluation of economic considerations. BTA is intended to'

mean the best technology available commercially at an economically

practicable cost and, further, that the costs of a technology must,

not be wholly disproportionate to the environmental benefit to be

gained. In the. Matter of Carolina Power and Light Company (Brunswick

Steam Electric Plant), NPDES Permit No. NC0007064 (November 7, 1977)

at 31-32; In the Matter of Public Service Co. of New Hampshire

Administrator's Decision".) at 13; Letter from Cynthia C. Dougherty,

Director, .Permits Division, USEPA to John Fields, NJDEPE.

The Department evaluated information on various alternative

technologies, including their technical feasibility, biological

effectiveness and associated costs (presented in PSE&G's 1984 Section

316(b) Demonstration, Versar's 1989 Report, PSE&G's 1991 Comments

(Appendices J, K, and L) and PSE&G's 1993 Application Supplement)

The alternative technologies having the greatest potential for

application at the Station are closed cycle cooling,.wedgewire

screens, variable speed pumps, fine mesh screens, screen

modifications to incorporate an improved fish bucket design,

circulating water intake flow limitations, and behavioral barriers,

i.e., sound deterrents..

0


With respect to the above-referenced technologies, the Department

concludes that: (i) the estimated cost of closed cycle cooling is

wholly disproportionate to the environmental benefit to be realized;

(ii) the Department is unable to demonstrate at this time that

wedgewire screens are an available technology given the volume of

once-through cooling water used by the Station and potential for

biofouling due to the Station's location; (iii) the Department is

unable to demonstrate at this time that variable speed pumps are an

available technology for application at the Station since the lower

intake flows would lead *to higher cooling water temperature causing

additional stress to entrained organisms possibly resulting in no net

environmental benefit; (iv) the Department is unable to demonstrate

at this time fine mesh screens are an available technology for

application at the Station given the physical and biological

conditions at the Station and since fine mesh screens may cause an

overall increase in impingement mortality rates for early life stages

of many species; (v) recent •developments have occurred with respect

to the cooling water intake structure traveling screens which

incorporate an improved fish bucket design enabling the Department to

demonstrate it to be an available technology at a cost which is not

wholly disproportionate to the environmental benefits to be realized;

(vi) a restriction on the cooling water system intake flow to a

monthly average of 3,024 MGD (present average flow) is an available

technology at a cost which is not wholly disproportionate to the

environmental benefits to be realized; and, (vii) the study of and

fish behavioral barrier technologies, specifically the utilization of


sound deterrents, is an available technology at a cost which is not

wholly disproportionate to the environmental benefits to be realized.

Based on this review of available technologies, the Department

determines the existing cooling water intake structure, in

conjunction with the screen modifications, improved fish bucket

design, a cooling water intake flow limitation, and a sound deterrent.

study, to be BTA under Section 316(b)

In connection with its reconsideration of the 1990 Draft Permit, the

Department also reviewed and evaluated other measures proposed as

Special Conditions in PSE&G's 1993 Application Supplement'.

The Department determines that the following additionally proposed

Special Conditions will minimize intake structure effects to aquatic

life in the Estuary.: restoration of a minimum of 8,000 acres of

wetlands in addition to restoration. of another 2,000 acres of

wetlands or the preservation of 6,000 acres of upland buffer in the

Delaware River Basin; a fish migration barrier removal program on

certain Delaware River tributaries; and, the conduct of a baywide

biological monitoring program.

Measures such as those included in the proposed Special Conditions,

i.e. wetlands restoration and enhancement, to minimize adverse

impacts of the cooling water intake structure have been required

under Section 316(b) by USEPA or other delegated States at other


power plants. See, Crystal River Determinations, supra at 7-8;

Tennessee Valley Authority, John Sevier Steam Plant, NPDES Permit No.

TN0005436 (January 23, 1986); In the Matter of Central Hudson Gas &

Electric Corporation, Roseton Generating Station, et al., Decision

and Order, Docket No. C/II-WP-77-01; Appendix A (April 22, 19811;

Point Generating Station State Discharge Permit Number 81-DP-0627B,

NPDES Permit Number MD0002658B (April 26, 1991).

Section 316(b) requires that an intake structure reflect BTA in order

to minimize adverse environmental impact but, further, notes that

minimization of adverse environmental impact does not necessarily

require that all losses of organisms due to Station operations be

eliminated. In the matter of Boston Edison Electric Company (Pilgrim

Nuclear Station NPDES Permit Nos. MA0003557 and MA0025135). As

discussed above, the Department determines that the existing cooling

water intake structure, in conjunction with screen modifications, a

cooling water intake flow limit, and.a study of sound deterrents, is

BTA. These BTA measures are incorporated in the proposed Special

Conditions and are expected to minimize adverse, impacts. In

addition, PSE&G proposed in its 1993 Application Supplement and the

Department is proposing in this Draft Permit, additional measures as

Special Conditions which will further minimize adverse environmental

impacts from the Station's cooling water intake structure; the

objective of Section 316(b),.


Based on the standard articulated in the In the Matter of Carolina

Power And Light Company (Brunswick Steam Electric Plant) NPDES Permit

No. NC0007064 (November 7, 1977) at 31-32, the Department is

persuaded that BTA as used in Section 316(b) is distinguishable from

the standard "best available technology (BATt). The Department,

however, provides the following analysis in the event that is

determined not to be the case.

Where USEPA has not promulgated an industry-wide technology-based

standard, the Department must set BAT limitations on a case-by-case

basis using its best professional judgment ("BPJ") consistent with

the requirements of Section 304(b) of the CWA. Section 304(b) and

the implementing regulations (40.CFR Section 125.3(c) (2)) require

agencies including the Department to consider certain factors in

making a BPJ BAT determination, including:. the age of the equipment

and facilities; the process employed; the engineering aspects of the

application of various types of control techniques; process changes;

the cost of achieving such effluent reductions; and non-water quality

environmental impacts (including energy requirements)

Courts reviewing BAT limitations have found that effluent reduction

benefits do not need to consider resultant-ambient water quality

improvements.. Likewise, benefits do not need to be quantified in

monetary terms. There is no structure as to how these must be

Air


NJ0005622

considered and there is no specific weight to be given these factors

in their consideration.

The administrative record provides detailed information on the age of

equipment and facilities involved; the process employed; the

engineering aspects of the application of various types of control

techniques; process changes; the estimated cost of achieving such

effluent reduction; and non-water quality environmental impact

(including energy requirements). Based on an analysis of this

information, the Department is unable to demonstrate at this time

that closed cycle cooling; wedgewire screens, variable speed pumps,

and fine mesh screens are "available" for application at the Station

) to reduce impingement and entrainment at a reasonable and. affordable

cost.

The existing cooling water system, in conjunction with screen

modifications, the average flow limitation, and a study of-sound

deterrents, which the Department would be able to demonstrate to be

available for application at the Station to reduce impingement and

entrainment effects at a reasonable cost, would be designated as the

BAT under Section 304(b) if that was found to be the standard

applicable to a BTA determination under Section 316(b) The

additional measures established in the Special Conditions would

further minimize adverse impacts; the objective of Section 316(b).


Accordingly, pursuant to Section 316(b)lthe Department proposes to

allow the Station to continue to operate with the present cooling

water intake structures in conjunction with the Special Conditions

set forth in the Draft Permit.

3. Section 3.16(a) Variance Determination

The Department's thermal surface waterquality standards (N.J.A.C.

7:9-4.14) for Zone 5 of the Delaware River (the Zone applicable to

the Station) require that the water temperature-in the receiving

waters not be raised by more than 40 F (2.2 0 C) during the period from

September through May and no more than 1.5°F (0.8'C) during the

period from June through August, nor shall the maximum temperature

exceed 86°F (30'C), except in designated heat dissipation areas not

longer than 3,500 feet measured from the point of discharge.

If the Department were to establish a water quality-based effluent

limitation (WQBEL) based on these thermal water quality standards,

PSE&G could not meet it with its existing facilities. The WQBEL

would be at least as stringent as a thermal limit based on best

available technology (BAT). Therefore, the Department does not find

it necessary to determine what effluent limitation represents BAT.

PSE&G would require a Section 316 variance from the WQBEL in that the

physical dimensions of the thermal plume during the summer, as

measured by a l.5 0F (0.8 0C) above ambient isotherm, extend beyond the

0'


mixing zone specified• in these standards and the maximum temperature

at 3,500 feet may exceed 86 0 F (30"C).

Section 303(g) provides that state surface water quality standards

for heat. are subject to and must be enforced consistent with the

standards specified in Section 316(a). Section 316(a) provides,. in

pertinent part; that the Department can impose an effluent limitation

less stringent than necessary to ensure compliance with thermal

surface water quality standards if the Permittee can show that such

effluent limitations are more stringent than necessary to assure the

protection and propagation of a balanced indigenous population.

In the 1990 Draft Permit,: the Department reviewed PSE&G's thermal

variance request taking into account the aggregate of all relevant

stresses to aquatic life in the river, including losses due to

entrainment and impingement,, in connection with a Department

determination as to whether the effects of the Station's thermal

discharge assured the protection and propagation of a balanced

indigenous population. Utilizing this approach, the Department

determined that PSE&G had failed to meet the requisite burden of

proof to support a variance from thermal effluent limitations

pursuant to Section 316(a) based primarily on the impingement and

entrainment effects of the Station's cooling water intake structure

on the protection and propagation of the balanced indigenous

population.Km

As discussed above with respect to the Section 316(b) determination,

all of the proposed Special Conditions will minimize impingement and

entrainment effects of the Station's cooling water intake structure.

The proposed wetland restoration program is a very important

component in minimizing entrainment and impingement effects,

especially as it relates to restoration of fish population.

Temperate zone tidal saltmarshes, such as those fringing Delaware Bay

and estuary, consist of.a unique assemblage of plants and animals.

In saltmarshes, much of the energy needed to support life, in the

form of food manufactured by chlorophyll-bearing plant

(carbohydrates, proteins, fats; 'and other complex materials), is

* i produced by the marsh grasses, of which the cord grasses, Spartina

spp. is the dominant species group. In most terrestrial plant

ecosystems the flow. of energy from the photosynthetic process moves

from plant material to grazers (herbivores-) to various levels of

consumers (carnivores), through a series of organisms repeatedlyeating and then being eaten. In the tidal saltmarsh systems,

however, there are few direct consumers and most of the plant

material remains unconsIumed until it dies and is washed into the

estuary. There, it is decomposed and broken down by microorganisms

into organic detritus (finely divided particulate matter).. Because

decomposition occurs continuously throughout the year, detritus is

always available for consumption by many forms of aquatic organisms.

This process helps make. tidal saltmarshes and their connecting

). estuaries among the most productive ecosystems known to exist. This


process occurring throughout Delaware Bay supports an abundance of

fishes that are spawned there or have there larval stages carried or

deposited there. An increase in the area of saltmarsh will lead to

increased growth in marsh grasses which will lead to an increased

food supply for fishes. This increase of saltmarshes will also

result in an increase in the amount of living space (habitat)

available for the various species of fishes.

In addition, tidal wetlands provide other biological benefits to the

area. Animals such as terrestrial mammals, furbearing mammals in

particular, waterfowl and other birds and threatened and endangered

species, depend directly upon wetlands for their survival. Tidal

wetlands also provide other important functions to the entire

Delaware Bay area, including flood and storm protection, improvement

and maintenance of high quality water, and the regulation of other

biological processes including the nitrogen, sulfur, methane, and

carbon-dioxide cycles.

Tidal wetlands along the Delaware Estuary have been impacted by human

activities, including draining and filling. The Department notes

that it is reported that New Jersey has lost an estimated tens of

thousands of acres of wetlands along the Delaware Estuary.

Given the loss in acreage of wetlands along the Estuary and the fact

that the Target Species at issue (i.e., opossum shrimp, bay anchovy,

weakfish, spot and white perch) are dependent, at least in part, on


NJ0005622

the wetlands-of the Estuary for food as well as habitat, the

restoration and enhancement of wetlands would increase the

productivity of these species and thereby minimize the effect of the

impingement and entrainment losses due to the Station' s operation.

*The extent to which impingement and entrainment effect are being

minimized needs to.be quantified. PSE&G utilized essentially a two

step process to quantify the minimization to be achieved by the

acreage being restored or enhanced. First, PSE&G quantified the

relationship between primary productivity per acre of wetland and

fish production (i.e., biomass) per acre of the species at issue.

Once'this relationship was established, PSE&G then estimated the

wetland acreage required to increase fish populations by dividing the

estimated fish biomass lost for each Target Species at issue due to

Station operation by- the fish biomass of that species produced per

acre of wetland., The Department determines that PSE&G's approach is

appropriate'

The Department notes that utilizing this approach, PSE&G, in its

amended application, quantified.the number of acres needed to ensure

* protection and propagation of the balanced indigenous population of

the receiving water of the Delaware Estuary to be 2,425 acres. The

Draft Permit increases the number of acres of wetlands targeted for

restoration to a minimumlof 8,000 acres.. The number of acres was

increased after application of a number of conservative assumptions.

It has been conservatively assumed that some portion of primary

0*

of 152 Pages

Fact Sheet/Basis

NJ0005622

productivity is lost to the ocean before being consumed. A factor of

45 percent has been applied to account for the assumed loss. It has

also conservatively assumed that crustaceans and other

macroinvertebrates, as well as turtles,-birds, and other associated

vertebrates account for a sizable consumption of the net primary

productivity available to the aquatic community. Therefore, the

Department has partitioned 32 percent of the primary productivity to

these organisms.

The Department determines that PSE&G's proposal to restore or enhance

a minimum of 8,000 acres of wetlands in the Delaware River Basin is

adequate to minimize the effects of Station-related operations to

assure the protection and propagation-of the balanced indigenous

population.

Another measure in the proposed Special Conditions involves the

removal of impediments to anadromous fish (i.e., river herring)

migration on certain Estuary tributaries. River herring are

recreationally and commercially important species and the juveniles

serve as forage for other recreational and commercial species,

including certain of the Target Species at issue (i.e. weakfish and

white perch). Many of the Estuary's tributaries utilized by

anadromous fish have been dammed and that this damming has reduced

the spawning habitat available for river herring. The Department,

therefore, determines that the implementation of this measure would

provide long-term benefits to the Estuary fisheries through increased

recreatio

including


nal and commercial fish opportunities for certain species,

certain of the Target Species at issue.

I.

The Station's current permit does not contain a CWS flow limitation.

The proposed Special Conditions impose a monthly average flow limit

of 3,024 MGD.

The proposed Special Conditions. also require the conduct of a

biological monitoring program to provide information concerning the

long-term abundance of fish and mracrdinvertebrates in the Estuary and

continued monitoring of impingement and entrainment losses,

monitoring of detrital production, and monitoring of residual

pesticide release. The Department determines that this monitoring

program will provide data relating to the abundance and diversity of

aquatic resources in the Estuary, .in general, .and data necessary for

a continued biological assessment of potential long-term adverse

environmental impacts due to Station operations.

Based on the above, the Department has determined that the Station's

cooling water system, in conjunction with the implementation of the

Draft Permit Special Conditions described above, will minimize

impingement and entrainment impacts to a level which will assure the

protection and propagation of the balanced indigenous population. In

light of this determination, the Department has reconsidered the 1990

Draft Permit determination denying PSE&G'a variance from thermal

surface water quality standards under Section 316(a).


The Department, therefore, determines that a thermal discharge at 'the

Station which does not exceed a maximum of 1150 F (46.1 0 C) is expected

to assure the protection and propagation of the balanced indigenous

population. Accordingly, the Department determines that a WQBEL

would be more stringent than necessary to assure the protection and

propagation of. the balanced indigenous population.

The Department is, therefore, granting PSE&G's request for a variance

pursuant to Section 316(a) and is proposing thermal limits' which will

allow the continued operation of the existing once-through cooling

water system.

RENEWAL OF SECTION 316(A) VARIANCE

As discussed above, the Department proposes to grant a variance

pursuant to Section 316(a). If the Draft Permit is' finalized, the

variance will automatically be terminated upon the expiration of the

final NJPDES permit. Procedures for reissuance of a Section 316(a)

variance are virtually unchanged from an initial Section 316(a)

determination.

If upon renewal, -the Permittee wants the variance to be continued,

the request for the variance along with a basis for its continuance

must be submitted at the time of application for the renewal permit.

In the event that the Permittee wants the variance to be continued,


. \

the Department's Section 316(a) determination will include, but not

be limited to, a review of whether the nature of the thermal

discharge or the aquatic population associated with the Station have

changed, whether the measures required under the proposed Special

Conditions have, in fact, assured the protection and propagation of

the balanced indigenous population, whether the best scientific

methods to assess the effect of the Permittee's cooling system have

changed and whether the technical knowledge of stresses caused by

cooling systems has changed.
