OFFSITE NOTIFICATION DUE TO EXCEEDING NPDES PERMIT LIMIT FOR CHLORINE DISCHARGE

At approximately 1100EDT on 9/16/01 a grab sample of the plant effluent cooling water was taken and analyzed. The overboard concentration of chlorine which is added as a antifouling agent was measured at .21 mg/l which is .01 higher than the allowed National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit limit of .2 mg/l. The discharge occurred between 1118EDT and 1144EDT on 9/16/01. Steps were taken to adjust chlorine levels to .03 mg/l. This violation was reported by the licensee to the NJ DEP. The licensee will inform the NRC resident inspector.
