24 HOUR NOTIFICATION OF POLLUTION DISCHARGE PERMIT NOTIFICATION
"On August 28, 2011 at approximately 1000 EDT the Indian Point common discharge canal was reported to be overflowing. The overflow condition was caused by the elevated river water levels experienced during Hurricane Irene. The site SPDES (State Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permit requires the canal discharge to be subsurface. Since the overflow was not a subsurface discharge it constituted a SPDES permit violation. There was no failure or malfunction of the outfall structure, and by 1430 EDT river level had lowered enough that the discharge canal was again operating within normal limits.
"The resident inspector has been notified. New York State Department of Environment Control has been notified."
