| 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. |
