OFFSITE NOTIFICATION MADE TO THE MICHIGAN POLLUTION EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM
At 1045 ET the following report was made to the Michigan Pollution Emergency Alert System, Operator number 30. At 0900 ET 02/12/02 an estimated 300 gallons of liquefied sewage (visually free of solids) spill occurred to Lake Michigan beach. The source of the spill was an overflow of the support building sewage system to the plant storm drain system. The source of the spill was immediately isolated.
It is believed that the spill did not reach Lake Michigan due to absorption in the sand and the approximate 100 feet distance to the waters edge.
A written report will follow to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee.
