OFFSITE NOTIFICATION OF OIL LADEN WATER INTO STORM DRAIN

Oil was spilled on the asphalt in the Protected Area and was cleaned up. Recent rains pulled out the percolated oil laden water which entered the storm drain. Less than one gallon of oil entered the storm drain. The source of the oil spill (possibly from a vehicle) is under investigation.

The licensee notified the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, National Response Center, Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. NRC Resident Inspector.
