# 4 Facility Description:

A. Description of Current Electric Production and Cooling Water System

The Station is a load following facility that is comprised of three fossil fuel units with an aggregate capacity of 447 Megawatts (MW). Units 1 and 2 are load-following steam turbine units that use either coal or oil and utilize once through condenser cooling. Unit 1 is capable of producing approximately 129 MW while Unit 2 is capable of producing 155 MW. Units 1 and 2 came on line in 1961 and 1962 respectively. Unit 3 is an oil fired unit, which is used on an intermittent basis, and utilizes a closed loop salt water natural draft cooling tower. Unit 3 is capable of producing 155 MW and came on line in 1964. The Station is also comprised of four 2 MW diesel oil-fired reciprocating engines and other ancillary equipment systems used in the generation of electricity. A tabular summary of the existing electric production at the facility is as follows:

Condensing/Cooling Once-through from Bay Once -through from Bay Hyperbolic Cooling Tower

At BLE, as with all steam-electric power plants, steam is used to drive turbines, which in turn produce electricity. BLE’s Cooling Water System (CWS) removes the heat energy th at remains in the steam after it has passed through the turbines by condensing the steam back to water for reuse in the steam cycle. This process, further described below, takes place in a structure called a condenser.

Water for condenser cooling at BLE Units 1, 2 and 3 is withdr awn from the bay via an intake canal (60 foot by 15 foot minimum depth) which extends about 220 feet offshore. Outboard trash racks serve to remove large materials from the intake water, which then passes through vertical trave ling screens equipped with 0.375 inch (3/8 inch) wire mesh. The cooling water intake structure (CWIS) for Unit 1 is served by two Rex vertical traveling screens. These screens were originally installed in 1962. One of the two units was refurbished with a stainless steel frame in approximately 1982. The CWIS for Unit 2 is also served by two Rex vertical traveling screens. These screens were installed in approximately 1963 and, similar to Unit 1, one of these was refurbished in approximately 1982 with a stainless steel frame. The screens are not equipped with fish buckets.

The screens are backwashed with a single high pressure spray of approximately 270 gallons per minute to remove material collected on the screens. The screen washwater for the screens is provided by three 60 horsepower six stage Johnston Co. pumps. Only one of the two screens is in operation at any given time and one of the screen wash pumps is a back-up which serves both Units 1 and 2. The water from the screen wash spray drains into a concrete trough located on the intake side of the traveling water screens. This trough is common to the four traveling water screens. The screen wash water and materials removed from the screen travel approximately 200 feet in an open concrete trough. At this point the screen backwash discharge enters an underground pipe and runs approximately 100 feet to the discharge canal.

After passing through the traveling screens that serve the CWIS, cooling water for Units 1, 2 and 3 enters four concrete pipes (two for each unit). The cooling water is then pumped to the condenser waterboxes through additional underground piping. The condenser waterboxes remove exces s heat from the primary steam loop for each of the two units. After leaving the condenser waterboxes, coolin g water is pumped underground through two 5.5-ft diameter concrete pipes (one per unit) approximately 425 ft east of the Station to the discharge apron for discharge back to the Great Egg Harbor Bay. The change in water temperature between the intake and the discharge (i.e. the “delta-T” or

“ 

# ∆ T”) is approximately 16°F and is primarily attributable to the thermal input of Units 1 and 2.

Cooling tower make-up water for BLE Unit 3 is diverted fr om the Unit 2 flow at the CWIS at an average rate of approximately 7.4 MGD. The 7.4 MGD represents water lost to the atmosphere through evaporation or make-up water to replace cooling tower blowdown. The cooling tower blowdown is discharged via DSN 001A at an average rate of 5.36 MGD and is generally reused as intake cooling water for Units 1 and 2 given its discharge location and proximity

to the CWIS.

B. NJDEP Air Program Administrative Consent Order

On January 24, 2006, In the Matter of Atlantic City Electric Company, Conectiv and Pepco Holdings, Inc. , the aforementioned companies entered into an Administrative C onsent Order (ACO) with the De partment as authorized by

N.J.S.A 13:1D-1 et seq . and the Air Pollution Control Act of 1954, N.J.S.A. 26:2C-1 et seq . Since 2006 there have been multiple amendments to the original ACO which are dated October 31, 2006, January 13, 2010, and May 18, 2012. Since the original ACO was executed, Atlantic City Elec tric Company (ACEC) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with RC Cape May Holdings, LLC on August 15, 2006, and the Station was subsequently sold. After the

### Fact Sheet Page 4 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# change in ownership, the January 13, 2010 ACO Amendment included a revised timeline by which RC Cape May would either Repower or meet the Performance Standards of the January 24, 2006 ACO. As a result, RC Cape May has determined to Repower BL England and requested a revised timeline to complete the Repowering. The Repowering in the ACO and its amendments refers to the repla cement of an existing coal-fired or oil-fired boiler with a new natural gas heat source.

The main points of the Air ACO and its amendments that have a bearing on this NJPDES permit are as follows:

• RC Cape May is required to cease operations of BL England Unit 1 on September 30, 2013.

• RC Cape May is allowed to operate Unit 2 until May 1, 2015 for a maximum of 4,300 hours per year.

• BL England Unit 3 is unaffected by the ACO and its amendments.

• RC Cape May shall Repower BL England by May 1, 2016.

C. Description of Projected Electric Production and Cooling Water System

After the repowering project is complete, the power generating capacity of the station will increase from 447 MW to 584 MW, which is an increase of 131 MW or approximately 30%. While overall energy generating capacity will increase, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions will significantly decrease. As noted above, by the date of the repowering on May 1, 2016, operations from Units 1 and 2 will have ceased. Unit 1 will be retired and Unit 2 will cease operations as a coal-fired unit. Unit 3 which now runs on #6 oil will convert to natural gas. Unit 4 will consist of a new combined cycle combustion turbine which runs on natural gas with a Heat Recovery Steam Generation (HRSG) unit, but will utilize the existing steam turbine that was formerly associated with Unit 2. The former Unit 2 steam turbine is associated with the circulating cooling water.

The HRSG will be equipped with supplemental gas fired duct burne rs to counteract the drop in electrical output during warmer weather when electrical demand is strongest. The repowered Unit 2 will be equipped with a new steam turbine bypass. Combined cycle plants with combustion turbines typically experience a significant drop in capacity between summer and winter months as compared to the existing simp le cycle boiler steam plant design. However, the use of duct burners, which recovers a large portion of this loss in capacity, results in increases in the maximum temperature and temperature difference characteristics of the discharge. Si milarly, use of the new steam turbine bypass will elevate temperatures in the discharge for limited periods of time.

A tabular summary of the projected electric production at the facility is as follows:

# 5 Description of Discharges and Receiving Waterbody:

A. Description of Discharges Under Current Plant Configuration

A site plan of the facility and the appropriate quadrangle of a USGS map are included at the end of this fact sheet.

The following is a summary of the current discharges and discharge components:

Discharge Serial Number (DSN) 001A discharges cooling tower blowdown that is used for Unit 3. This circulating water is brominated to prevent biofouling of the cooling cycl e. The blowdown is discharged into the intake structure for steam units 1 and 2 at a maximum rate of 5.36 million gallons per day (MGD).

DSN 003A was the slag pond overflow and stormwater. The slag (bottom ash) from steam units 1 and 2 and the slag tank overflow was directed to two slag settling ponds. These ponds operated in series to settle the coarse and fine particles. The flow was discharged to Great Egg Harbor Bay at a maximum rate of 2.86 MGD, however, BL England installed a Bottom Ash Removal (BAR) system in 2009. The BAR is a closed loop system which replaces the slag settling ponds. Using this system, ash decant is processed by the industrial treatment plant and discharged via DSN 013. The pipe that exits the settling ponds has been sealed and the ponds no longer produce a discharge. BL England plans to remove the slag material from the settling ponds . Stormwater continues to be discharged via DSN 003A.

DSNs 006 and 007 are the yard drains. Stormwater from the facility is discharged untreated to Great Egg Harbor Bay through these outfalls. The estimated maximum flow rates for these discharges are 0.243 MGD and 0.448 MGD, respectively.

DSN 008 is the intake screen backwash. This discharge consists of water used to flush algae and detritus that may have accumulated on the intake screens for Units 1, 2, and 3.

DSNs 009 and 010 are the turbine condenser cooling water discharges for steam Units 1 and 2. Each cooling water system can be operated with one or two pumps. For each cooling water system, normal operations involve the use of two pumps during the summer months and one pump during th e winter months. For DSN 009, the two pump flow rate is 127 MGD and the one pump flow rate is 58 MGD. Fo r DSN 010, the two pump flow rate is 153 MGD and the one pump flow rate is 68 MGD. On occasion, two pumps are used during the winter months for cooling system maintenance. Therefore, the observed maximum flows for an y one month are the two pump flow rates. The discharge

for DSNs 009 and 010 is routed to a surface shoreline canal.

DSN 013 is the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent. The WWTP receives all the process related wastewater which consists of water from floor drains, deionizer water filters wastewater, charcoal filter backwash, demineralizer water wastewater, and boiler blowdown water. Storm water from the coal pile is also routed through the WWTP. Treatment includes oil coalescense, equalization, polymer addition, two stage pH adjustment, flocculation,

### Fact Sheet Page 6 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# clarification, filtration, and neutralization. This maximum flow is 0.69 MGD. In addition to treated process water, this outfall receives sanitary wastewater generated onsite that has been treated and disinfected in the Continuous Sequential Batch Reactor (CSBR). DSN 015 is a new internal monitori ng point that is being added for the CSBR effluent.

DSN 014 is the discharge associated with the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system. The purpose of this system is to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions in order to comply with the Acid Rain Program (Title IV) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The scrubber system is designed for sulfur dioxide removal efficiencies of approximately 90%. The scrubber process removes sulfur dioxide by directing flue gas from the combustion process through an aqueous solution of limestone and water. This mixture absorbs the sulfur dioxide from the flue gas, after which the cleaned flue gas and water vapor are carried out of the stack. By introducing the remaining slurry mixture to a process called forced oxidation, crystal formation is maximized and calcium sulfate (or gypsum) is created. The slurry mixture is directed through a dewatering system where the gypsum is removed. The gypsum is sent to cement plants or to a licensed landfill, if needed. The liquids from the dewatering process are directed back into the scrubber process for reuse. The scrubber system generates wastewater. DSN 014 is an internal monitoring point where the treated scrubber wastewater effluent discharges to DSN 010. Th e maximum flow from this outfall is 0.08 MGD.

DSN 015 is an internal monitoring point for the Continuous Sequential Batch Reactor (CSBR), which discharges treated and disinfected wastewater through DSN 013. A letter from the Department dated February 15, 2012,

authorized the effluent from the CSBR to be routed th rough the industrial wastewater treatment plant at DSN 013, where it was previously injected into well IMW2 under NJPDES permit NJ0077771. This change was due to a significant decrease in domestic wastewater flow where va lues are currently less than 2000 gallons per day (GPD) as compared to a design flow of 16,000 GPD. This decrease in flow is a result of reduced facility operations and work

force reductions.

B. Description of Discharges Under Repowered Plant Configuration

Repowering the BL England Station is expected to have the following effects on the outfalls:

DSN 001A will continue to consist of cooling tower blowdown from Unit 3 to the intake structure for Unit 2. Maximum expected flow is 3,722 gpm, which is equivalent to 5.36 MGD.

DSN 003A previously consisted of slag pond overflow and storm water, however, the outlet from the slag pond has been sealed. Storm water will continue to be discharged via this outfall from the area where the combustion turbine for the proposed new unit, Unit 4, and the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) will be located. The projected

flow is 0.354 MGD.

DSN 006A and DSN 007A will continue to consist of stormwater from yard drains, parking lots, and areas of the Station which are discharged untreated. The estimated ma ximum flow rates will continue to be 0.243 MGD and 0.448 MGD, respectively.

DSN 008A currently consists of screen backwash for Units 1, 2, and 3. After repowering the discharge from this outfall will continue to be screen backwash for Units 3 and the new unit, Unit 4.

DSN 009A currently consists of once through cooling water for Unit 1, which will cease operations on September 30, 2013. At that time this discharge will cease and the outfall will be sealed.

DSN 010A currently consists of once through cooling water for Unit 2, which will cease operations on May 1, 2015. This outfall will remain and is expected to be used to discharge once through cooling water from a proposed new unit, Unit 4 since Unit 4 will supply the former Unit 2 steam turbine with steam. The expected flow from this outfall is 106,000 gpm (152.6 MGD); at times it may operate at 126,000 gpm (181.4 MGD).

DSN013A will continue to consist of treated process water from the industrial wastewater treatment plant and the Continuous Sequential Batch Reactor (CSBR), however, the discharge volume will decrease and the quality of the discharge is expected to improve.

### Fact Sheet Page 7 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# DSN 014A currently consists of wastewater from flue gas desulfur ization. When the use of coal is discontinued at the Station, this discharge will cease and the outfall will be sealed.

DSN 015A will continue to serve as an internal monitoring point for treated and disinfected wastewater from the

CSBR.

# ‘ E. Description of Great Egg Harbor Bay

Great Egg Harbor Bay (GEH B) is hydraulically connected to the Atlantic Ocean at the Great Egg Harbor Inlet (Inlet). The Inlet is bordered to the north by a barrier island, Absec on Island (the location of Atlantic City) and to the south by Peck Bay and the barrier island on which Ocean City is located. The Inlet is a navigable waterway and 13,860 feet (4,225 meters) wide.

GEHB is receives freshwater inflows from four main surf ace sources: Tuckahoe River, Middle River, Great Egg Harbor River, and Patcong Creek. The three rivers drain th e Pinelands Management Area and flow through the Lester G. MacNamara Wildlife Management Area.

GEHB is generally a shallow estuarine complex with many marsh islands. Within the estuary complex is the shallow Peck Bay with water depths less than 3 ft (1 m) at Mean Low Water (MLW) as well as navigation channels at depths of more than 30 ft (10 m). Although the navigation channel at the Inlet is not maintained by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Corps dredges the ebb shoal that forms inside GEHB and the spoils are used at Ocean City as beach nourishment to mitigate erosion. The Corps has dredged the ebb shoal as part of a storm damage reduction project at Ocean City since 1992, where the total volume of material removed is nearly 12,000,000 cubic yards.

GEHB experiences semi-diurnal tides (twice daily high and low) with minimal tidal dampening (lowering of tide height). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra tion (NOAA) has historically m onitored tides within this estuary and continues to maintain a tidal elevation gauge at Atlantic City, since obsolete monitoring locations within the estuary have been phased out. NOAA provides an intera ctive map to access histori cal tidal data, and several locations within the estuary were used in the past to characterize tides within GEHB and the estuary (NOAA 2005). The tides at Longport, New Jersey (on Absecon Island) have a mean range of 3.8 ft (1.15 m), while a location within Patcong Creek has a mean range of 4.0 ft (1.23 m), and the mean tidal range near the mouth of the Tuckahoe River is 3.5 ft (1.08 m).

CH2MHill prepared a report in 1993 in support of permitting a flue gas desulfurization wastewater treatment system at BLE, namely DSN 014. The report included studies of tidal phase, water depth, current speed, ambient temperature, conductivity, and salinity. The USEPA’s Storage and Retrieval water quality database (STORET) was searched for

locations within GEHB and four locations were found to be near BLE. These four locations were found to have a limited temporal data set. Three of the STORET stations (corresponding to river locations) have recorded data from two sample dates, while the final location was sampled 87 times. However, only 11 of these samples included

information other than total and fecal coliform levels. The data from the STORET database for the three river stations show pH of 7.0 – 7.5 and salinity of 14.0 – 23.5 ppt. The da ta range for the fourth STORET station showed a pH range of 6.2 – 8.3, and salinity was not sampled. For the CH2MHill report, eight samples were collected at a location 1,300 feet from the shore near Beesley’s Point in GEHB. The samples included profiles of current velocity, temperature, and salinity over the course of a tidal cycle. The reported results demonstrated the dynamic nature of salinity and temperature over the tidal cycle in GEHB. During flooding tides, temperature decreases and salinity increases due to the advance of water from the Atlantic Ocean into GEHB. During ebbing tides, water temperature increases and salinity decreases as freshwater (which was warmer than ambient GEHB water during the sampling period) enters GEHB from the upland rivers and adjoining salt marsh systems.

As per the SWQS at N.J.A.C. 7:9B, the designated uses fo r Saline Estuary 1 (SE1) receiving waters such as GEHB

are:

1. Shellfish harvesting in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:12; 2. Maintenance, migration and propagation of the natural and established biota; 3. Primary and secondary contact recreation; and 4. Any other reasonable uses.

As noted in Section 3 above, this segment of the Great Eg g Harbor Bay is impaired for Dissolved Oxygen. This permit action includes new limitations for Dissolved Oxygen at outf all DSN 013A in order to protect the Dissolved Oxygen levels in the receiving stream.

# 6 Clean Water Act Regulatory Overview:

A. Sections 316(a) and (b) of the Clean Water Act

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (the “Clean Wa ter Act” or “CWA”), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., authorizes federal and state agencies to regulate discharges of pollutants to surface waters through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The USEPA, which originally administered the NPDES program for New Jersey, delegated program authority to the Department in 1982. The Department implements the NPDES program through the NJPDES regula tions (N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1 et seq.) whic h were promulgated pursuant to the authority of the New Jersey Water Polluti on Control Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10A-1 et seq.).

In 1972, Congress enacted the CWA requiring all point source dischargers of pollutants, including heat, to obtain a permit from USEPA or from a state with delegated permitting authority. Section 316 of the CWA contains parts (a) and (b). Section 316(a) addresses thermal aspects of the discharge. Section 316(a) provides that a variance from thermal surface water quality standards can be granted if the permittee can demonstrate that a balanced indigenous population is being maintained in the receiving water, meanin g less stringent thermal effluent limits may be imposed. Federal regulations for Section 316(a) as well as state regulations regarding thermal impacts are summarized in more detail later in this document. Section 316(b) addresses impacts of the cooling water intake structure on aquatic life, namely impingement and entrainment effects. The term “cooling water intake structure” (CWIS) is defined as the total physical structure and any associated constructed waterways used to withdraw cooling water from waters of the U.S. The CWIS extends from the point at which water is withdrawn from the surface water source up to, and including, the intake pumps.

Section 316(b) “require[s] that the location, design, construction, and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact.” The majority of environmental impacts associated with intake structures are caused by water withdrawals that ultimately result in aquatic organism losses. In that regard, cooling water intakes can have two types of effects. The first effect, referred to as impingement , occurs when organisms are caught on the intake screens or associated trash racks. The second effect, referred to as

entrainment , occurs when organisms pass through the facility’s intake screens and the cooling system itself.

Impingement takes place when organisms are trapped against intake screens by the force of the water passing through the cooling water intake structure. Impingement can result in starvation and exhaustion (organisms are trapped against an intake screen or other barrier at the entrance to the CWIS), asphyxiation (organisms are pressed against an intake screen or other barrier at the entrance to the CWIS by velocity forces that prevent proper gill movement, or organisms are removed from the water for prolonged periods of time), and descaling (fish lose scales when removed from an intake screen by a wash system) as well as other physical harm.

Entrainment occurs when organisms are drawn through the CWIS into the cooling system. Organisms that become entrained are normally relatively small benthic, planktonic, a nd nektonic organisms, including early life stages of fish and shellfish. Many of these small organisms serve as prey for larger organisms that are found higher on the food chain. As entrained organisms pass through a plant's cooling system they are subject to mechanical, thermal, and/or toxic stress. Sources of such stress include physical impacts in the pumps and condenser tubing, pressure changes caused by diversion of the cooling water into the plant or by the hydraulic effects of the condensers, shear stress, and chemical toxemia induced by antifouling agents such as chlorine.

B. Section 316(b) Regulation Recent History

EPA issued final regulations for Phase II facilities effective September 7, 2004 to guide implementation of the 316(b) statute. Phase II existing facilities, as defined by EPA, are facilities that commenced construction before January 17, 2002 that have design flows over 50 MGD. This facility met the definition of a Phase II facility under the Phase II regulations. The Phase II regulations were appealed by multiple parties.

### Fact Sheet Page 11 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# In Riverkeeper, Inc., v. EPA, No. 04-6692, (2d Cir. January 25, 2007) the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision in the litigation over the Phase II regulation. The court’s decision remanded several provisions of the Rule on various grounds including, but not limited to the following:

• EPA’s determination of the Best Technology Available under section 316(b);

• The Rule’s performance standard ranges;

• The Cost-cost and cost-benefit compliance alternatives;

• The Technology Installation and Operation Plan provision and;

• The restoration provisions.

EPA then suspended the Phase II Section 316(b) regulations as articulated in the July 9, 2007 Federal Register. EPA directed States and permitting authorities to issue permits in accordance with Best Professional Judgment (BPJ) pursuant to 40 CFR 401.14.

Cost-benefit analysis was one element of the Second Circuit Court decision. The issue of cost-benefit analysis was brought before the Supreme Court. Specifically, the question presented was “Whether 316(b) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1326(b), authorizes the EPA to compare costs w ith benefits when determining the “best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental im pacts” at cooling water intake structures?”

On April 1, 2009, the Supreme Court issued a decision regardin g the validity of cost/benefit determinations for Phase II facilities. The Supreme Court determined that the EPA pe rmissibly relied on cost-benefit analysis in providing for cost-benefit variances from those standards as part of the Phase II regulations.

EPA agreed to a consent decree with the Riverkeeper which establishes a deadline to propose new federal Section 316(b) rules by March 14, 2011 where finalization was expected on July 27, 2012 (http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/316b/). EPA issued draft regulations on March 14, 2011. Since that time, a modified settlement agreement was executed which requires EPA to finalize the 316(b) standards by June 27, 2013. In the meantime, states are required to issue Section 316(b) determinations in accordance with BPJ until such time as the new Section 316(b) regulations are finalized.

C. Application of Phase I Versus Phase II Section 316(b) Regulations

As part of the Department’s review of Section 316(b) aut hority, the Department evaluated whether the Section 316(b) regulations under “Phase I” were applicable to this facility. Phase I regulations are applicable to new facilities and were published in the Federal Register Notice dated December 18, 2001 ( http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPAWATER/2001/December/Day-18/w28968.htm ). As per 40 CFR § 125.83 entitled “What special definitions apply to this subpart?” the definition of new facility is as follows:

New facility means any building, structure, facility, or installation that meets the definition of a “new source'' or “new discharger'' in 40 CFR 122.2 and 122.29(b)(1), (2), and (4) and is a greenfield or stand-alone facility; commences construction after January 17, 2002; and uses either a newly constructed cooling water intake structure, or an existing cooling water intake structure whose design capacity is increased to accommodate theintake of additional cooling water. New facilities include only “greenfield'' and “standalone'' facilities. A greenfield facility is a facility that is constructed at a site at which no other source is located, or that totally replaces the process or production equipment at an existing facility (see 40 CFR 122.29(b)(1)(i) and (ii)). A stand-alone facility is a new, separate facility that is constructed on property where an existing facility is located and whose processes are substantially independent of the existing facility at the same site (see 40 CFR 122.29(b)(1)(iii)). New facility does not include new units that are added to a facility for purposes of the same general industrial operation (for example, a new peaking unit at an electrical generating station).

(1) Examples of “new facilities'' include, but are not limited to the following scenarios: (i) A new facility is constructed on a site that has never been used for industrial or commercial activity. It has a new cooling water intake structure for its own use.

### Fact Sheet Page 12 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# (ii) A facility is demolished and another facility is constructed in its place. The newly-constructed facility uses the original facility's cooling water intake structure, but modifies it to increase the design capacity to accommodate the intake of additional cooling water. (iii) A facility is constructed on the same property as an existing facility, but is a separate and independent industrial operation. The cooling water intake structure used by the original facility is modified by constructing a new intake bay for the use of the newly constructed facility or is otherwise modified to increase the intake capacity for the new facility.

(2) Examples of facilities that would not be consid ered a “new facility'' include, but are not limited to, the following scenarios: (i) A facility in commercial or industrial operation is modified and either continues to use its original cooling water intake structure or uses a new or modified cooling water intake structure. (ii) A facility has an existing intake structure. Another facility (a separate and independent industrial operation), is constructed on the same property and connects to the facility's cooling water intake structure behind the intake pumps, and the design capacity of the cooling water intake structure has not been increased. This facility would not be considered a “new facility'' even if routine maintenance or repairs that do not increase the design capacity were performed on the intake

structure.

In consideration of the above, the Department has determin ed that BL England is not a “new facility” based on the following:

• BL England is not proposing a greenfield or stand-alone facility but rather is a repowered version of an existing facility.

• The existing cooling water intake structure is being utilized for the repowered units.

• The design capacity of the existing cooling water intake structure is being decreased due to less water use.

In sum, because BL England is covered under the Phase II Section 316(b) regulations which are currently in draft format, the Department is making its Section 316(b) determination in accordance with BPJ pursuant to 40 CFR

401.14.



# 7 Section 316(b) Determinat ion and Information:

A. Historical Section 316(b) Studies

1. Report On A 52-Week Study of Impingement at the B.L. England Generating Station

Impingement sampling was conducted at the B.L. England Station from March 1988 through February 1989 inclusive by Environmental Consulting Services, Inc. where the report is dated February 1, 1991. Impingement methods included a program design that provided for taking a continuous 24-hour sample during one 24-hour collection period per week. During the first seven weeks of the program, sampling collection ranged from 892 minutes to 1,343 minutes per sample event. Beginning April 20, 1988, 1,440 minutes samples were collected for 37 of the 45 sampling events. Experiments to assess collection efficiency were conducted by releasing a known number and length-frequency distribution of dead and stained specimens in front of the traveling screens and recording their occurrence in the standard impingement collections. Blue crab impingement survival studies were also conducted.

A summary of impingement results from the study are as follows:

• 80,796 blue crabs were collected; blue crabs were collected in all samples with peak densities occurring in spring and fall.

• 482 blue crab specimens were evaluated for impingement survival where percent survival ranged from 66.7% to 100% with a mean percent survival of 92.7%. Survival was not dependent on specimen size.

### Fact Sheet Page 13 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



# • 20,644 specimens of finfish, representing at least 80 species were collected in 71,987 minutes of impingement sampling.

• 90% of the finfish collected were represented by the following species - Spot (29.6%), bay anchovy (18.7%), Atlantic silverside (14%) , hogchoker (10%), oyster toadfish (4%), blueback herring (3.3%), northern puffer (3%), threespine stickleback (3%), striped cuskeel (3%), and northern pipefish (2%).

• Spot were collected from June through February w ith increased monthly densities in June, August and

October.

• Bay anchovy were collected in all months except March; monthly mean densities were greater in May through August and October and November.

2. A 12-Month Study of Entrainment at th e B.L. England Generating Station

Entrainment sampling was conducted at the B.L. England Station from March 1988 through February 1989 inclusive by Environmental Consulting Services, Inc. where the report is dated June 30, 1990. The program design for entrainment sampling provided for taking four samples (two during daylight and two during darkness) one day per week. The sampling day began approximately two hours after sunset and continued at six hours intervals until four samples had been collected. A total of 189 samples were collected. Samples were collected from the mid-point of the water column in the discharge canal for either Unit 1 or Un it 2. Samples were fixed and stained in the field with a rose-begal formalin solution where fish and macroinvertebr ates were removed from the sample detritus, identified to the lowest practicable taxonomic level, and enumerated.

A summary of entrainment results from this study are as follows:

• The total number of macroinvertebrates collected was 1,868,690; the total mean annual density was 19,264 per

100 m 3



# .

• Neomysis Americana (opossum shrimp), Corophium spp and Ampelisca spp together compromised 96.8% of

the macroinvertebrates collected.

• Neomysis Americana was the most abundant macroinvertebrate collected (total annual density of 16,213 per 100 m3) where highest densities occurred during the months of March, July and February.

• Corophium spp was the next most abundant macroinvertebrate collected (total annual density of 1400 per m3). Highest densities occurred in May and December.

• Ampelisca spp. was the third most abundant macroinvertebr ate (total annual densities of 1021 per m3). Highest densities occurred in May and July.

• The total number of ichthyoplankton collected was 107,201 eggs, 9,981 larvae and 682 juveniles representing 28 species of finfish.

• Bay anchovy was the most abundant finfish species collected with 102,729 eggs, 3906 larvae and 500 juveniles, representing 90.9% of the total finfish collected.

• Bay anchovy eggs were collected from May 19 through September 22 and on October 12. Larvae were collected from June 23 through August 18 and then sporadically through December 1. Juveniles were collected from July 7 through December 15.

• Atlantic silverside was the next most abundant finfish species collected with 269 eggs, 2775 larvae and 5 juveniles, representing 2.6% of the total finfish collected.

• Gobiosoma spp. was the third most abundant finfish species collected with 1 egg, 2774 larvae and 53 juveniles, representing 2.4% of the total finfish collected.

B. Section 316(b) Determination in Previous Permit

The final permit was issued on January 11, 2005 and became effective March 1, 2005. Shortly before that, EPA’s Phase II regulations had become effective on September 7, 2004. This regulation included a requirement for a Proposal for Information Collection (PIC) as well as various Comprehensive Demonstration Study (CDS) Requirements to be included as part of any renewal application.

### Fact Sheet Page 14 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# At the time of the January 11, 2005 permit renewal, B.L. England was considering cessation of operations on or about December 15, 2007. As a result, the best technology available determination in the January 11, 2005 permit stated the following:

If Operations Cease: The Department recognizes that B.L. England may cease its operations on or aro und December 15, 2007 which would result in a cessation of the intake of water for once through cooling. If B.L. England does indeed cease its operations it would no longer have an intake for the purposes of once through cooling and hence would no longer meet the eligibility criteria for Phase II of Section 316(b). Therefore, if operations cease, B.L. England will not be required to comply with 40 CFR 125.95.

If Operations Continue: If B.L. England does not cease it s operations, it is required to comply with the Proposal for Information Collection requirements at 40 CFR 125.95 as well as the Comprehensive Demonstration Study Requirements at 40 CFR 125.95(b). A Proposal for Information Collection should be submitted to the Department by September 7, 2005 as indicated in Part IV. If a regulatory approval or Administrative Consent Order between the Department and Conectiv (that is a prerequisite to the cessation of operations) is either finalized or actively under consideration as of September 7, 2005, the Department may, in its discretion, consider a request to extend the September 7, 2005 deliverable date as a minor modification to this permit.

As a result, the Department specified in the January 11, 2005 renewal permit that a CDS was to be submitted by January 7, 2008.

C. Description of Recent 316(b) Studies

1. Proposal for Information Collection

Subsequent to the issuance of the January 11, 2005 permit, AKRF, on behalf of the permittee, submitted a PIC entitled “316(b) Proposal for Information Collection Prepared in Compliance with 40 CFR 125.95(b)(1) for B.L. England Generating Station, Beesley’s Point, NJ” dated June 1 3, 2005. The purpose of the PIC, as described at 40 CFR 125.95(b)(1), is as follows:

( ‘ i) A description of the proposed and/or implemented technologies, operational measures, and/or restoration measures to be evaluated in the Study;

(ii) A list and description of any historical studies characterizing impingement mortality and entrainment and/or the physical and biological conditions in the vicinity of the cooling water intake structures and their relevance to this proposed Study. If you propose to use existing data, you must demonstrate the extent to which the data are representative of current conditions and that the data were collected using appropriate quality assurance/quality control procedures;

(iii) A summary of any past or ongoing consultations with appropriate Federal, State, and Tribal fish and wildlife agencies tha t are relevant to this Study and a copy of written comments received as a result of such consultations; and

(iv) A sampling plan for any new field studies you propose to conduct in order to ensure that you have sufficient data to develop a scientifically valid estimate of impingement mortality and entrainment at your site. The sampling plan must document all methods and quality assurance/quality control procedures for sampling and data analysis. The sampling and data analysis methods you propose must be appropriate for a quantitative survey and include consideration of the methods used in other studies performed in the source waterbody. The sampling plan must include a description of the study area (including the area of influent of the cooling water intake structure(s)), and provide a taxonomic identification of the sampled or evaluated biological assemblages (including all life stages of fish and shellfish).



# The Department approved the PIC in a letter dated Januar y 4, 2006 and addressed to Marilyn Booth of Conectiv from Pilar Patterson of the Department.

Station

i. Overview

Subsequent to the issuance of the PIC, the Second U.S. Ci rcuit Court of Appeals issued its decision in the litigation over the Phase II regulation, as described previously. See Riverkeeper, Inc., v. EPA, No. 04-6692, (2d Cir. January 25, 2007). Because the court’s decision remanded several provisions of the Rule on various grounds, EPA “suspended” the Phase II rule as articulated in the July 9, 2007 Federal Register notice. The Department carefully considered the court decision in determining what is useful and appropri ate within the context of the CDS. As a result, the Department determined that Source Waterbody Flow Inform ation and the Impingement Mortality and/or Entrainment Characterization Study (40 CFR 125.95(b)(2) through (3)) were still appropriate and required to be submitted. The Department has the authority to request this information pursuant to BPJ pursuant to 40 CFR 401.14. In addition, the Department determined that any renewal application must contain a complete analysis of the suite of intake protection technologies that are available to address impingement and en trainment. The Department specified a due date of June 30, 2008 for this 316(b) study information.

On behalf of the permittee AKRF submitted the “316(b) Report NJPDES Permit Number NJ0005444 RC Cape May Holdings, LLC, B.L. England Generating Station”, in February 2008. The 316(b) Report consists of the following

sections and subsections:

1) Information Required Under 40 CFR 125.95(a)(2)

• Source Water Physical Data

• Cooling Water Intake Structure (CWIS) Data

• Cooling Water System Data

2) Impingement Mortality and Entrainment Characterization Study

• Impingement and Entrainment Studies at BLE

• Taxonomic Identification of All Life Stages and Species of Fish and Shellfish

• Characterization of Annual, Season al, and Diel Variations in Impingement Mortality and Entrainment

• Documentation of Impingement Mortality and Entrainment.

### Fact Sheet Page 16 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# The 2008 316(b) study uses these RIS in order to (i) characterize annual, seasonal, and diel variations in impingement mortality and entrainment, (ii) document current impingem ent mortality and entrainment, and (iii) estimate baseline (“Calculation Baseline”) impingement mortality and entrainment.

The RIS impact assessment approach is based on the concept th at it is not feasible or cost effective to measure power plant effects on all species inhabiting aquatic environments. In most aquatic ecosystems it is, however, generally possible to identify biota which because of their abundance, distribution, ecological, or economic importance are essential to and/or representative of the maintenance of balanced, indigenous populations of shellfish, fish, and wildlife. These RIS are used to focus impact assessment efforts, making the assumption that if populations of these surrogate species are protected, then other populations, and th e ecosystem as a whole, will also be protected. Because many RIS are near the top of the estuarine food webs or are key links in food webs, changes in the abundance or distribution are indicators of system wide alterations. In orde r for RIS to be reliable indicators of impact, they should include biota that are sensitive to power plant impacts as well as biota that are representative of all major trophic

levels.

Under the RIS approach, the impact assessment focuses on a sm all number of species that are both (i) representative of other species in a waterbody and (ii) important in that they have special human use or ecological value. The RIS approach is based on USEPA issued 1977 Guidance which provided a detailed approach for the selection of representative species for conducting 316(b) analyses.

The State of New Jersey lists seven species of threatened or endangered marine/estuarine wildlife that could potentially be affected by the BLE CWIS. These include five species of endangered marine turtles (Atlantic hawksbill – Eretmochelys imbricata , Leatherback – Dermochelys coriacea , Loggerhead – Caretta caretta , Kemp’s Ridley – Lepidochelys kempi , and Green sea turtle – Chelonia mydas ) and the endangered shortnose sturgeon ( Acipenser

brevirostrum ) and Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrhinchus oxyrhinchus). During the monitoring efforts in 1988- 1989 and 2005-2006, no sturgeons or marine sea turtles were encountered at BLE.

ii. Impingement and Entrainment Sampling Methods:

Finfish and macroinvertebrate entrainment and impingeme nt data were collected in a 2005-2006 survey at BLE pursuant to the PIC. In addition, historical data from 1988-1989 on impingement and entrainment were available. Similar methodologies were employed for both the 1988-1989 and 2005-2006 surveys.

The impingement sampling was designed as a year-round program, with sample collection occurring during one 24- hour period per week. On each sampling day, all screen wash flow was sampled during four consecutive 6-hour events. A total of 1,440 minutes of screen wash flow (conditions permitting) was scheduled to be examined on each sampling day. Processing of the samples included taxonomic identification, number, weight, and length data, as well as physiochemical parameters including water temperature, weather, and sailinity, and records of BLE operational

status.

In addition to impingement abundance sampling, a latent impingement mortality (“LIM”) study was conducted for blue crabs during the 2005-2006 survey. For the LIM st udy, sampling was conducted during a 24-hour impingement monitoring event once per week. Blue crabs collected in impingement sampling and retained for LIM monitoring were measured and placed in an onsite holding facility. The holding facility was a closed-cycle system consisting of a 300- gallon reservoir tank and a 200-gallon holding table. The holding water was monitored on a daily basis for temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen concentration. LIM observations were made twice at 24-hour intervals during the 2-day (48-hour) holding period. During the first observation, any dead specimens were removed. At the 48-hr observation all specimens were categorized as live, dead, or unknown.

For each entrainment study, sampling was conducted during one 24-hr collection event each week of the study. During each of those 24-hr events, sampling was scheduled at 6-hr intervals yielding four samples per event. Samples were collected at the mid-point of the water column using a pump-net sampling system deployed in either the Unit 1 or Unit 2 cooling water discharge canal, as Station operations dictated. Samples were pumped from the discharge canal into an entrainment sampling chamber consisting of a 260-gallon cylindrical tank containing a 1.0-m diameter, 0.5-mm mesh, conical plankton net in which the sample was concentrated. The target sample volume was 50 m 3 

# per sample

### Fact Sheet Page 17 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# with the actual volume recorded for each sample. Samples were preserved onsite and transported to an off-site laboratory for processing. In the laboratory, fish and macr oinvertebrates were identified to the lowest practicable

taxonomic level and enumerated.

In order to calculate mortality estimates, cooling water fl ow values are necessary. Cooling water flows for BLE’s actual plant operating conditions over the five year peri od of 2002 through 2006 were used for documenting current impingement mortality and entrainment. Estimates of week ly cooling water flow for Units 1, 2, and 3 for all weeks within the five-year period were derived from available data on net power generation for the three units over the same five years, and from seasonal regression relationships between cooling water flow rates and net power generation. The seasonal regression relationships were derived from cooling water flow and net generation data for 2005 and 2006. For the five-year period 2002-2006, the average weekly combined cooling water flow for the three units ranged from 42,433 gpm to 156,190 gpm.

iii. Impingement Sampling Results:

In the 1988-1989 survey, a total of 20,644 specimens of finfish, representing at least 80 species, was collected in 71,987 minutes of impingement sampling at BLE during 52 weekly collection periods between March 1988 and February 1989. In the 2005-2006 survey, a total of 6,102 specimens of finfish, representing at least 60 species, was taken in 60,221 minutes of impingement sampling at BLE during 54 weekly collection periods between May 1, 2005 and May 31, 2006. Because impingement densities were calculated for the 1988-1989 study and the 2005-2006 study, a comparison could be made based on the flow conditions de scribed above. In addition, both sets of numbers were adjusted for collection efficiency. The following table lists impinged species by abundance:

# iv. Entrainment Sampling Results:

In the 1988-1989 survey, a total of 117,864 specimens of finfish were collected at BLE in weekly sampling from March 1988 through February 1989. This total included 107,201 eggs, 9,981 larvae, and 682 juveniles. The entrainment collection represented 28 species of finfish. A total of 106 macroinvertebrates from eight phyla were collected. The total number of macroinvertebrate organisms collected was 1,868,690, and the total mean annual density was 19,264/100 m 3



# .

In the 2005-2006 survey, a total of 23,802 specimens of finfish were taken in 215 entrainment abundance collections at BLE between May 10, 2005 and May 31, 2006. This total included 18,075 eggs, 4,669 larvae, 1002 juveniles, 48 adults, and 8 unidentifiable fish. The entrainment collection represented at least 38 species and 21 families of finfish. At least 94 taxa of shellfish and macroinvertebrates were taken in the same 215 entrainment samples during 2005 and 2006. Those taxa represent a total of 2,113,062 organisms with a total mean annual density of 19,157/100 m 3 

# . Again, because entrainment densities were calculated for the 1988-1989 study and the 2005-2006 study, a comparison could be made based on the flow conditions described previously. The following table lists entrained species by abundance:

# v. Comparison of Results:

Data collected during the 1988-1989 and 2005-2006 impingement and entrainment programs were used to characterize annual, seasonal, and diel variations in impingemen t mortality and entrainment of RIS at BLE. These

### Fact Sheet Page 19 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# characterizations were based on estimates of impingement a nd entrainment densities (i.e. number of organisms per unit volume of cooling water flow), and the assumption of constant cooling water flow rates (on annual, seasonal, and daily bases). Impingement data for each finfish species were analyzed by age-class and entrainment data for each species were analyzed by life stage. The following is a summary of the results described in the report:

Annual Variation by Age

• Impingement: The impingement results did not show any cl ear trends regarding annual variation by age. For example, in the 1988-1989 study more “1 Year” age class Bay Anchovy were impinged than “0 Year” age class, but during the 2005-2006 study more “0 Year” age class Bay Anchovy were impinged than “1 Year” age class. The same flip-flop occurred for Atlantic Menhaden, Atlantic Silverside, and Weakfish.

• Entrainment: For Atlantic Menhaden, Atlantic Silverside, Atlantic Croaker and Blue Crab the number of organisms entrained was consistent across life stages. During the 1988-1989 study, Bay Anchovy eggs were the most entrained life stage but during the 2005-2006 study more juvenile Bay Anchovy were impinged. During the 1988-1989 study, Weakfish larvae were the most entrained life stage, but during the 2005-2006 study juveniles were the most entrained. No clear trends were apparent in annual variation by age for

entrained RIS.

Seasonal Variation

• Impingement: Bay Anchovy, Atlantic Silverside, and Blue Crab all experienced high rates of impingement in May. The rate of impingement for Weakfish peaked in June, August and September. The most Atlantic Menhaden were impinged between September and February. Impingement for Atlantic Croaker peaked in November and December, while the impingement rate for White Perch was highest in December and January. There is not a consistent pattern for impingement rates that can be applied to all the RIS.

• Entrainment: As with impingement, there was not a consistent pattern for seasonal levels of entrainment for RIS. Bay Anchovy entrainment was highest from May to November. Atlantic Menhaden entrainment peaked in May and June, then again in November and December. Atlantic Silverside entrainment was highest from May to June, but Atlantic Croaker was entrained the most from October to February. Entrainment for both Weakfish and Blue Crab peaked in June.

Diel Variation

• Impingement: In the 316(b) Report diel variation is divi ded into four Diel Periods, with Period 1 extending from 12:00 midnight through 5:59 am, Period 2 from 6:00 am through 11:59 am, Period 3 from 12:00 noon through 5:59 pm, and Period 4 from 6:00 pm through 11:59 pm . For five of the eight RIS, the lowest levels of impingement were observed during Diel Period 2 (6:00 am through 11:59 am). The diel period demonstrating the highest level of impingement varied by species.

• Entrainment: Entrainment levels followed a similar diel pattern to impingement levels. Atlantic Croaker larvae was the only species and life stage to experience its highest levels of entrainment during Diel Period 2. All other RIS experienced the highest levels of entrainment during Diel Periods 1 and 4.

vi. Description of Intake Protection Technologies:

In the February 2008 316(b) Report, AKRF states that under current conditions at BLE, impingement mortality is reduced by a combination of a fish return system, closed-cycle cooling for Unit 3, and operational measures that result in intake flow reductions. The fish return system redu ced impingement mortality by returning impinged fish and shellfish (notably blue crab) alive to GEHB. Closed-cycle cooling for Unit 3 reduced the need for additional cooling water flow and the associated increase in velocity through the intake screens. Operational measures such as seasonal flow reductions reduce the number of days that cooling wate r is drawn through the intake screens and reduce flow velocity through the screens.

### Fact Sheet Page 20 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



# Unit 3 at BLE currently operates with a cooling water tower – a closed-cycle cooling system – that has a design cooling water flow rate (for evaporation make-up and auxiliary cooling) of 15 MGD (10,400 gpm). Cooling tower make-up water for Unit 3 is withdrawn using BLE’s common inta ke structure. If Unit 3 had been designed to operate with a once-through cooling water system, its flow rate would have been approximately 152.5 MGS (105,880 gpm). The combined flow for Units 1-3, with Unit 3 operati ng as a closed-cycle cooling system, is 294.3 MGS (204,400 gpm). If Unit 3 operated with a once-through cooling water system, the combined flow for Units 1,2 and 3 would have been 431.8 MGD (299,880 gpm). The flow reduction associated with Unit 4 operating with closed-cycle cooling rather than once-through cooling is approximately 137.5 MGD (95,480 gpm).

D. Section 316(b) Best Technology Available Determination

1. Department’s Conclusions Regarding Impingement and Entrainment Data

To evaluate Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act the Department refers to impingement and entrainment data sets. This data reflects the direct effects of the Station. An assessment of these effects is integral to defining alternatives to minimizing these losses where the Department evaluated both recent and historic data sets. Based on this review, the Department concludes the following:

• Consistent with previous Section 316(b) determinations, two species of forage fish, the Atlantic silverside and bay anchovy, are impinged and entrained in the greatest number.

• A comparison of the recent data to the historical data s hows that the magnitude of the number of species impinged and entrained varies for most species.

• Impingement losses for blue crab are significant in both recent and historical data. Survivability studies for blue crab conducted in 1988 to 1989 shows a mean percent surviv al of 92.7% even without fish buckets on the traveling

screens.

• The Department contends that it is reasonable to assume th at a reduction in water withdrawal will have a directly proportional reduction in impingement and entrainment mortality. As a result, the reduction in flow after repowering of approximately 43% will have a significan t reduction in impingement and entrainment mortalities.

2. Best Technology Available Determination In Accordance with Best Professional Judgement

As noted previously, EPA is required to fi nalize Section 316(b) rules by June 27, 2013 (http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/316b/). Since the EPA rule requirements are not yet known, states are required to issue Section 316(b) determinations in accordance with BPJ until such time as the new Section 316(b) regulations are finalized.

There are three components to the regulation proposed on April 20, 2011 . First, most facilities would be subject to an upper limit on how many fish can be killed by the facility through impingement. The facility would determine which technology would be best suited to meet this limit, includ ing whether to reduce its intake velocity to 0.5 feet per second. Facilities that withdraw at least 125 million gallons per day of intake water would be required to conduct

studies to determine whether and what site



# ‐ specific entrainment mortality controls, if any, would be required. Third, new units at an existing facility that are built to increase the generating capacity of the facility would be required to reduce the intake flow to a level similar to a closed cycle, recirculation system. The third component does not apply to BLE because Unit 4 utilizes the existing Unit 2 steam turbine, which is associated with the existing circulating cooling water intake and discharge. Additionally, after repowering the overall volume of water withdrawn from the GEHB will decrease. Specifically, the current water intake from GEHB is 294 MGD and will decrease to 168 MGD after repowering. The Department recognizes that after repowering, BLE will operate at an intake flow slightly in excess of the 125 MGD threshold for site-specific entrainment mortality controls.

### Fact Sheet Page 21 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# With respect to compliance dates in the proposed rule, EPA ha s stated that the compliance dates won’t be relevant until EPA issues a final rule. When the final rule is effective, technologies to meet the impingement requirements of the rule would have to be implemented as soon as possible but within eight years at the latest. Larger facilities have to perform some additional studies but that will be determined by their permitting authority.

The Department has repeatedly gone on record through its comments on EPA’s rule making effort as well as through individual permit actions that Ristroph traveling screen s are a proven and effective technology to minimize impingement mortality. Constant rotation and screen wa shes serve to reduce impingement mortality by assisting organisms into the fish return system, which should discharge below the tide level. Modified Ristroph traveling screens are particularly effective in reducing impingement mortality for blue crab, a species which has the highest impingement rate at BLE.

While the Department recognizes the uncertainty associated with the proposed rule at this time, the Department would like to expedite compliance with the impingement mortality st andard. As a result, the Department is requiring BLE to submit an Impingement Alternatives Analysis for BLE within 15 months of the effective date of this renewal permit. The purpose of this study is for RC Cape May Holdings LLC to evaluate and analyze a potential alternative for reducing impingement mortality at BLE with a focus on improv ed screens with fish buckets. The feasibility study shall address the following factors:

• Replacement of the existing screens with Ristroph screens having a dual spraywash system (high-and-lowpressure). The screens shall have fish lifting buckets to hold the fish in water as they are lifted to the lowpressure spraywash removal system. The screen size shall be optimized to minimize fish mortality and the screen mesh shall have a smooth face. These screens shall be operated continuously exclusive of periods of maintenance requirements.

• Installation of a fish return system for the intake structure that is designed and constructed in consideration of the following factors: 1) using a fiberglass composite or a similar non-abrasive material that will be added to the full length of the interior surface trough of the fish return; 2) material that will reduce abrasion and obstructions to fish; 3) sufficient capacity, flow volume and water level to facilitate safe return of impinged organisms to the GEHB; and 4) the fish return conveyance terminus is designed to be submerged at all tidal stages on a year-round basis.

• Inclusion of scoping cost estimates for alternatives and a project implementation schedule.

The permittee shall submit the Impingement Alternatives Analysis on or before EDP + 15 months. The permittee shall submit these technical findings to the Department as indicated in Part IV. Upon receipt of this information, the Department will evaluate the findings in concert with the final EPA regulations and will reopen the permit to incorporate permit conditions pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-16.4.

In consideration of the regulatory and technical information available at this time, the Department hereby determines that conducting an Impingement Alternatives Analysis to assess the installation of modified Ristroph traveling screens as well as a fish return system at BLE constitutes BTA based on BPJ in accordance with Section 316(b) of the Clean

Water Act.



# 8 Section 316(a) Determination and Information

A. Regulatory Background – Thermal Surface Water Quality Standards, Section 316(a) and Federal Regulations

The SWQS at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(c).8.i. state the followin g with respect to temperature criteria for SE waters:

8. Temperature criteria at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.14(d) apply unless an alternative effluent limitation is approved in accordance with Section 316(a) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1326(a).

### Fact Sheet Page 22 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



# i. Properly treated wastewater discharge shall be deemed in compliance with the temperature criteria if the ambient stream temperature measured outside the regulatory heat dissipation area does not increase by

more than:....

(4) 2.2 degrees Celsius in SE and SC waters from September through May. (5) 0.8 degrees Celsius in SE and SC waters from June through August.

In addition, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(h)2.i . states the following with respect to heat dissipation areas:



# i. Heat dissipation areas shall be established as follows: (1) For discharges to FW2-NT, FW 2-TM, and SE waters, not more than one-quarter (1/4) of the cross section and/or volume of the water body at any time or more than two-thirds (2/3) of the surface from shore to shore at any time. (2) For discharges to lakes, ponds , reservoirs, bays or coastal waters, the heat dissipation areas shall be developed on a case-by-case basis. (3) A discharger may be granted a larger heat dissipation area pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 1326(a) Section 316(a) of the Clean Water Act.

Section 316(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act regulates the thermal component of surface water discharges. Specifically, Section 316(a) authorizes variances from ther mal SWQS where it is shown that the alternative limit proposed will “assure the protection and propagation of a balanced, indigenous population of shellfish, fish, and wildlife” in the receiving water. Section 316(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act states, in part:

....the Administrator (or if appropriate, the State) may impose an effluent limitation under such sections for such plant, with respect to the thermal component of such discharge (taking into account the interaction of such thermal component with other pollutants), that will assure the protection and propagation of a balanced, indigenous population of shellfish, fish and wildli fe in and on that body of water.



# In sum, the Department can deviate from the above referenced thermal effluent criteria for point sources and the heat dissipation dimensions provided that the conditions of Secti on 316(a) of the Clean Water Act are met. In other words, a Section 316(a) determination would override the SWQS thermal criteria.

Federal regulations at 40 CFR Part 125 125.70 – 125.73 (Subpa rt H – Criteria for Determining Alternative Effluent Limitations Under Section 316(a) of the Act) serve to guide implementation of Section 316(a) of the Clean Water Act. With respect to existing dischargers, 40 CFR 125.73(c) states the following:

(1) Existing discharges may base their demonstration upon the absence of prior appreciable harm in lieu of predictive studies. Any such demonstrations shall show:

(i) That no appreciable harm has resulted from the normal component of the discharge taking into account the interaction of such thermal component with other pollutants and the additive effect of other thermal sources to a balanced, indigenous community of shellfish, fish and wildlife in and on the body of water into which the discharge has been made; or

(ii) That despite the occurrence of such previous harm, the desired alternative effluent limitations (or appropriate modifications thereof) will nevertheless assure the protection and propagation of a balanced, indigenous community of shellfish, fish and wildlife in and on the body of water into which the discharge is made.

(2) In determining whether or not prior appreciable harm has occurred, the Director shall consider the length of time in which the applicant has been discharging and the nature of the discharge.

# B. Balanced Indigenous Community

1. Prior Studies

Data collected over the past forty years are available conc erning the species composition in GEHB. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has characterized the ecology of the Estuary and GEHB whereas other data were collected specifically for BLE. While some of these studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of the cooling water intake structure, the data collected on the species entrained or impinged effectively characterize the species composition in the vicinity of the Station and its thermal discharge. Entrainment studies, which collect species capable of passing through the 3/8 inch mesh screens, identify the early life stages (i.e., eggs and larvae) and smaller organisms present in the vicinity of BLE. Impingement studies, whic h focus on organisms that would be caught on the 3/8 inch screens, identify the juvenile and adult life stages of spec ies present in the vicinity of BLE. Taken together, these studies provide data on the life stages and species present in GEHB. These data show that there have been no major shifts in trophic composition within the biotic community in the vicinity of BLE over the period of time when BLE has been operational.

While dated, the data set reported by the USFWS in 1977 is the most comprehensive. USFWS reported that at least 67 species of fish had been located within the estuary. Atlantic silversides, Atlantic menhaden, bay anchovy, banded killifish, alewife, hogchoker, white perch, white catfish, and winter flounder comprised the most abundant species. At least 32 species of fish have been collected in GEHB the portion of the estuary with the highest diversity of fish species. Anadromous fish, namely blueback herring, alewif e, and striped bass spawn in the tributary streams and use the estuary as a juvenile nursery area. Other fish include the anadromous fish hickory shad and Atlantic menhaden as well as the catadromous species American eel. Upstream fish migration in the tributary streams is impeded by obstructions such as dams, which restrict spawning activity to the lower reaches.

As noted previously, BLE has conducted a series of biologic al monitoring programs over time which show that there has not been a significant change in the biotic community ov er time. The dominant fish species in entrainment studies were Atlantic silverside, bay anchovy, and windowpane. Unlike the more recent two studies, the 1970s studies did not address entrainment of macroinvertebrates at BLE. Opossum shrimp was the most dominant species on both the 1988- 1989 and the 2005-2006 studies. There has been a change in the species composition of entrained macroinvertebrates; the commercially and recreationally important blue crab has become a more dominant species in the most recent studies. Opossum shrimp, Ampelisca spp , and Corophium spp were collected in large numbers in both the later studies (1988-1989 and 2005-2006). Bay anchovy, oyster toadfish, northern pipefish, white perch and Atlantic silverside were among the most dominant fish species impinged during the three study periods. Consistent with coast-wide trends, spot were among the most prevalent species in the 1980s studies whereas Atlantic croaker was more prevalent in the

most recent studies.

While there have been some shifts in relative abundance among the dominant species over time, such changes are typical in natural systems. Moreover, the changes are consistent with the continuation and propagation of a balanced biotic community. There have been no increases in thermally tolerant species in the vicinity of BLE and no indications

of heat or cold shock.

2. Representative Important Species and Threatened and Endangered Species

Seven species were identified as Representative Important Species (RIS) for the Station for the purposes of the Section 316(a) demonstration. These species are as follows:

• Bay Anchovy

• Atlantic menhaden

• Atlantic silverside

• Atlantic croaker

• Weakfish

• White perch

• Blue crab

### Fact Sheet Page 24 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



# The State of New Jersey lists seven species of threatened or endangered marine/estuarine wildlife that could potentially be affected by the cooling water intake structure. These include four species of endangered marine turtles (Atlantic hawksbill, Leatherback, Loggerhead, and Kemp’s Ridley) ; one species of a threatened marine turtle (Atlantic green) and two species of endangered fish (shortnose sturgeon and Atlantic sturgeon). Of these seven species, the marine turtles could be present in the GEHB during summer a nd fall months, most likely as transient adults. Shortnose sturgeons are amphidromous, spending most of their lives in deepwater areas of their natal rivers, and only rarely entering nearby coastal waters. Most shortnose sturgeon in the mid-Atlantic region occur in oligohaline and freshwater reaches of large estuaries such as the Delaware and Hudson. Atlantic sturgeon spawn in freshwater reaches of large estuaries and are typically found in coastal waters as juveniles and adults, generally in shallow nearshore areas dominated by gravel and sand substrates. During the monitoring efforts in 1988-1989 and 2005-2006, no sturgeons or

marine sea turtles were encountered at BLE.

3. Thermal Effects on the RIS

The following information provides a description as to how the RIS respond to heat and temperature:

• The bay anchovy is a forage species that occurs throughout GEHB and is widely tolerant of salinity and temperature. Spawning typically occurs from May to mid-August in estuaries where water temperatures are higher than 35 o 

# C (63 o 

# F) and salinities greater than 20 parts per thousand (ppt). Oxygen levels below 3.0 mg/L can be lethal to eggs and larvae and DO below 2.0 mg/1 is critical. Some spawning occurs throughout much of GEHB, though egg hatching appears to be reduced in lower salinity waters. Adult bay anchovy prefer temperatures ranging from 8.3 o 

# C to 32.2 o 

# C (47 o 

# F to 90 o 

# F).

Heat shock studies were conducted on adult bay anchov y that were acclimated to temperatures of 10 o 

# C to

21.1 o 

# C (50 o 

# F to 70 o 

# F) and salinities of 27 to 29 ppt. Results indicated 0 to 40% mortality for 

# ∆ Ts of 0 o 

# C – 7 o 

# C (0 o 

# F – 12.6 o 

# F) and 60 to 100% mortalities for 

# ∆ Ts of 8 o 

# C - 17 o 

# C (14.4 o 

# F - 30.6 o 

# F). Cold shock studies were conducted on juvenile and adult bay anchovy that were acclimated to 59 to 72 o 

# F and 26 to 30 ppt, then held at temperatures decreased by up to 15 o 

# C. Results indicated little or no mortality for temperature decreases up to

7 o 

# C (12.6 o 

# F), but 60 to 100% mortality for temperature decreases of 8 – 15 o 

# C (14.4 o 

# F-27 o 

# F).

• Atlantic menhaden is a forage species and a member of the herring family. Peak spawning in the Middle and North Atlantic regions occurs in the spring and fall. Ju veniles remain in estuaries for the first year of their lives then migrate toward the coastal ocean. The critical thermal maximum for larval menhaden during spring ambient temperatures of 11.1 o 

# C to 12.2 o 

# C (52 o 

# F to 54 o 

# F) is approximately 28.9 o 

# C to 29.4 o 

# C (84 o 

# F to 85 o 

# F). The upper avoidance temperature for juvenile menhaden is approximately 32.8 o 

# C (91 o 

# F) at an acclimation temperature of 30 o 

# C (86 o 

# F).

• The Atlantic silverside is an important forage species that spawns in the vegetated portion of marshes at high tide. Spawning water temperatures typically range from 27 to 36 o 

# F (15 o 

# to 20 o 

# C). The upper avoidance temperature for juvenile Atlantic silverside is approximately 35 o 

# C (95 o 

# F) at an acclimation temperature of

28.9 o 

# C (84 o 

# F). The critical thermal maximum is approximately 35 o 

# C (95 o 

# F).

• The presence of Atlantic croaker in GEHB is highly influenced by overall stock abundance and climatological conditions, since GEHB is in the northern end of the geographic range for this species. Atlantic croaker generally spawn in coastal oceanic waters. In tests th at examined Atlantic croaker that were acclimated to temperatures of 6 o 

# C-27 o 

# C (42.8 o 

# F-80.6 o 

# F) and salinities of 3.5-10 ppt, the species generally preferred temperatures 0.3-12 o 

# C (0.54 o 

# F-21.6 o 

# F) higher than acclimation temperatures.

Heat shock effects were examined for juvenile Atlantic croaker that were acclimated at 6-27 o 

# C (42.8-80.6 o 

# F). Results showed that specimens acclimated to 14 o 

# C and subjected to a 

# ∆ T of 13.5 o 

# C (24.3 o 

# F) resulted in 100% mortality, but 

# ∆ T shocks up to 10.5 o 

# C (18.9 o 

# F) resulted in little or no mortality. Cold shock was examined for juvenile Atlantic croaker at salinities of 5-10 ppt and acclimated to 3-27 o 

# C (37.4-80.6 o 

# F). Specimens

# acclimated to 27 o 

# C (80.6F) experienced no mortality when subjected to a

# C (39.2 o

• Adult weakfish are common in the GEHB from late spri ng through mid-fall. Spawning is known to occur from mid-May to mid-September in the lower Delaware Bay, where salinities range from 12 to 35 ppt. Optimal growth of juvenile weakfish occurs at a sali nity of 20 ppt and water te mperatures of 84°F (47°C). In temperature preference experiments, weakfish that were acclimated to temperatures between 25°C-30°C (77°F-86°F), exhibited a mean avoidance temperatur e of 31.1°C (88°F). The critical thermal maximum (CTM) was examined for larvae, and found to increase as the age of the larvae increased. The CTM temperature for larvae 4-16 days old ranged from 33.1°C-33.8°C (91.6°F-92.8°F), while the CTM for specimens aged 17 days was 35.5°C (95.9°F).

Cold shock tests on weakfish eggs that were acclim ated to 22.5°C (72.5°F) experienced no mortality after 3 minute exposure at any 

# ∆ T. When exposure time was increased to 90 minutes with a 

# ∆ T of 14°C (25.2°F), mortality rose to 94%.

• White Perch are year-round inhabitants in many New Jersey estuaries. Spawning generally occurs from early April through early June in freshwater areas of estuaries and in tidal tributaries. Optimal hatching success occurs at water temperatures of 57°F to 61°F. The resu lts from temperature preference studies indicate that juveniles acclimated at 10°C (50°F) or greater exhi bited a mean preferred temperature of 31.2°C (88.2°F), while the mean preferred temperature for adults was 26.8°C (80.2°F). In thermal tolerance studies, the upper limit for fish acclimatized to 25°C-26°C (77°F-78.8°F) ranged from 34.2°C-34.7°C (93.6°F-94.5°F).

Cold shock was examined for juvenile white perch that were acclimated to temperatures of 5°C-30°C (41°F86°F) and shocked by temperature decreases ranging from 2°C-24°C (3.6°F-43.2°F). When acclimated to 12°C (53.6°F) or less, less than 20% mortality resulted from a temperature decrease down to 0°C (32°F). However, when acclimated to a temperature of 12.5°C (54.5°F), 100% mortality resulted when the temperature was decreased to 0°C. When acclimated to 26°C (7 8.8°F) and higher, 100% mortality was observed when temperature was decreased to 19°C (34.2°F).

• Blue crab naturally occur in the western Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia to Argentina. Their larvae require salinities of at least 20 ppt for survival. Juvenile and adult crabs are able to tolerate lower salinities, even freshwater, in addition to saline habitats. The upper lethal temperature for juvenile and adult blue crab is 36.7°C to 38.9°C (98°F-102°F). The upper avoidance te mperature for blue crabs acclimated to 25°C is between 32.8°C and 37.2°C (91°F-99°F).

In reviewing this information, it is important to consider th at the associated velocity of the discharge would make it unlikely for the RIS to reside in the hottest areas of the plume for any period of time. The hydrodynamics of GEHB contribute to mixing and heat dissipation. In addition, ma ny juvenile and adult species with swimming capability can actively avoid the thermal plume.

C. Section 316(a) Determination in 2005 Permit

As summarized in the January 11, 2005 permit, a number of studies were performed from 1971 to 1991 which pertain to both Sections 316(a) and 316(b). A su mmary of the findings of a survey performed by the Department and surveys conducted for Atlantic City Electric in the early 1970’s served to characterize the zooplankton and fish of GEHB. These findings showed that the system supports typically estuarine plankton and fish populations. Resident fish include atlantic silverside, white perch, striped killifish, mummichog, bay anchovy and others; migratory fish include northern pipefish, weakfish, spot and othe rs. Organisms of sport and commercial value in the bay include white perch,

weakfish and blue crab.

The January 11, 2005 NJPDES renewal permit requires that th ermal discharges from BLE comply with cooling water system limitations which are the same or more stringent th an the limitations in the permit effective January 1, 1994. Both the 1994 and 2005 permits contained effluent limitations of 38.3 degrees Celsius at DSN 009A and 010A in

### Fact Sheet Page 26 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.14(d)11.iv. In addition, the 1994 and 2005 permit contained heat loading limitations for the plant which are based on the heat contribution from DSNs 009 and 010. The 2005 permit contained a statement that thermal water quality will not be degraded as compliance with the permit will result in ambient water quality that is the same or better than the level of quality which would be maintained under the 1994 permit.

As stated in the January 11, 2005 permit:

Based on a review of the current data and modeling pertaining to the thermal plume as well as the biothermal assessment, the Department has determined that a va riance under Section 316(a) is warranted. A thermal discharge at the Station, in accordance with the proposed temperature and heat limitations, is expected to assure the protection and propagation of the balanced indigenous populations. These effluent limitations for temperature

and heat are set forth in Part III.

In addition, at the time of the 2005 permit renewal, the facility was contemplating cessation of its operations. At that time the effect of the Section 316(b) regulations was uncertain. While these regulations are geared towards intake protection, there is a linkage to thermal effects given that the implementation of Section 316(b) regulations could result in potential flow reductions.

• Average flow discharge values are significantly less than the design flow of 152.6 MGD.

• Actual maximum heat loadings fluctuate between 301.4 MBTU/Hour and 1514 MBTU/Hour.

Based on this review, the Department can conclude that the current operating characteristics indicate that the plant discharges less flow than the design flow resulting in a commensurate reduction in heat loading and thermal discharge.

2. Summary of Operating C onditions After Repowering:

In the 2013 NJPDES Permit Renewal application, the permittee included the following table to illustrate the reduction in cooling water flows as a result of repowering:

# * There are two pumps that can operate at two settings (pump rates) at the Unit 2 intake. The higher setting

allows for the withdrawal rate to be increased to 126,000 gpm (181.4 MGD) for short durations. Using the higher setting on both pumps can occasionally be used to mitigate the temperature difference and maximum temperature of the discharge.

3. Characterization of the Modified Thermal Plume:

As noted previously, repowering the Station will affect the properties of the thermal discharge. The thermal plume is defined as the resultant increase in delta temperature above the ambient receiving waters as the once through cooling water is transported, diluted and dissipated. To illustrate these changes, the permittee has provided a conceptual diagram of the plume for summer conditions where the ther mal plume is defined as the area where temperature is increased by more than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. For purposes of this screening exercise, the flow rate was assumed to 2009-2010 Flow (MGD) Effluent Temp.

# be approximately 290 MGD, and the temperature differential was assumed to be 16 degrees Fahrenheit. For the repowered conditions, the screening exercise assumed a flow rate of 167 MGD from outfall DSN 010 with a temperature differential of 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

As part of this characterization, simplified calculations were applied to estimate the modifications to the thermal plume as a result of repowering. Mixing of a thermal plume occurs first in a near-field zone where the momentum of the discharge dominates, and then transitions to a far-field zone where mixing occurs as a result of the ambient flow field and the density differences between the discharge and receiving water. The CORMIX Model was applied to approximate the near-field and develop first order estimates fo r the far-field. CORMIX showed that the extent of nearfield momentum induced mixing is highly variable dependin g on the phase of the tide and discharge scenario. Due to the reversing tidal currents in GEHB, CORMIX was unable to adequately resolve the far-field. CORMIX results indicated the time required to achieve steady-state mixing is typically longer than the time to tidal reversal; therefore, a separate far-field calculation was required to approximate the far-field plume dimensions subject to reversing tidal

currents.

A particle tracking calculation was used to characterize the far-field plume. In addition to the flow rate and heat associated with the discharge, a representative velocity field was required as input to the particle tracking model. The velocity field was calculated using an analytical flow field streamline model. The streamline model produced input for the particle tracking model, including: discharge velocities near the end of the near-field; and ambient tidal current velocities in the receiving waterbody. Using the combined i nputs, the particle tracking model was applied to simulate the thermal plume with the receiving waterbody for curren t plant design as compared to repowered conditions.

The aerial extent of the thermal plume calculated for the Repowering Project was subtracted from the calculation for existing conditions, specifically for the summer scenario. Results showed a net 26 to 32% reduction in the area of the plume as measured in the 1.5 degree Fahrenheit isotherm for the proposed condition. The expected reduction in the plume dimension is primarily a result of the reduced flow rate.

While the CORMIX model for the summer conditions predicted that the overall size of the thermal plume will be smaller, the zone of initial dilution (ZID) with the highest delta 

# ∆ Ts is slightly warmer and larger under the repowering project conditions. While temperatures within the ZID under the most extreme conditions would be beyond the thermal tolerances for RIS, the ZID occupies very small areas within GEHB.

E. Section 316(a) Determination in this Renewal Permit

1. Overview of Decision Criteria:

The station’s once-through cooling water discharge increases water temperatures in the bay. Currently the oncethrough cooling water discharge is returned to the bay through DSNs 009 and 010 whereas the cooling tower blowdown is return to the bay through DSN 001. After repowering, the once-through cooling water discharge will be discharged through DSN 010 and the cooling tower blowdown will continue to be discharged through DSN 001. The once-through cooling water discharge through DSN 009 will be eliminated. The size and characteristics of the thermal plume during current conditions as well as after repowering are dependent on the thermal characteristics of the cooling water discharge, the station’s net generation over several days, the hydrodynamics of the bay and meteorological conditions. Simplified thermal modeling results show a net reduction in the overall area of the plume from approximately 26 to 32% for the repowered plant condition as compared to the existing plant configuration.

In evaluating the renewal of the section 316(a) variance, th e Department considered the current application, applicable state and federal regulations, and applicable guidance documents. The Department recognizes that the applicant’s burden with regard to the renewal of a thermal variance is “to support the continuation of the variance” and does not require the same level of proof as an application for an initial variance in accordance with 40 CFR 125.72(c).

One of the factors that the Department considered regardin g this request is whether or not operating characteristics have changed. Specifically, the Department evaluated existing discharge monitoring report data with respect to flow, temperature and heat as well as modeling estimates. The Department also reviewed available information with respect to the balanced indigenous community and the effects of the plume on such.

### Fact Sheet Page 30 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



# 2. Section 316(a) Determination

With respect to recent and current plant operations, the Department recognizes that the Station’s operations and the resulting physical thermal plume have been below the desi gn flow for DSNs 001A, 009A and 010A. While the current heat loading limitations for the Station have been retained from the existing permit, the overall thermal contribution from the Station will decrease from the existing plant configuration based on the elimination of any heat loading from DSN 009A after repowering. In addition, the effluent te mperature and temperature differential limitations for DSN 010A for September thr ough May have been retained from the existing permit. However, with respect to the period from June through August for DSN 010A, the Department is imposing a temperature differential limit of 11.0 degrees Celsius as a daily maximum and an effluent temperature limit of 40.5 degrees Celsius as a daily maximum. This change is necessary since higher temperatures will be realized as a result of the use of the duct burners as well as the use of the steam turbine bypass. This operating scenario wi ll not be continuous because the use of the duct burners is limited by the Title V Air Permit and the steam turbine bypass only operates for a few hours during each plant startup, shutdown or infrequent turbine transients. While temperatures within the ZID may at times be greater as compared to the current plant configuration, the ZID occupies very small areas within GEHB and is expected to have minimal effect on aquatic organisms in GEHB beyond the effects considered in prior Section 316(a) assessments.

Based on the regulations at 40 CFR Part 125.73(c), the Department has determined that a variance under Section 316(a) is warranted in accordance with Section 316(a) of the Clean Water Act. This variance is based on the Department’s findings that: (1) the operating conditions for years 2008 through 2010 are below the bounds of the operating conditions at the time of the last 2005 variance; (2) the repowered operating conditions and closure of Unit 1 will result in a significant discharge flow reduction; and (3) the overall heat loading limits from the station have been retained. As a result, the Department has determined that a thermal discharge at the Station, in accordance with the proposed temperature and heat limitations, is expected to assure the protection and propagation of the balanced indigenous population.

However, given the changes in the thermal plume characteristics, the Department is hereby requiring updated CORMIX or other appropriate modeling for the thermal plume after repowering has occurred. The purpose of this modeling is to better define the thermal plume once repower ing has occurred given the change in operating activities.

This condition has been included in Part IV.

Technology based limitations are authorized by Section 301 of the Clean Water Act, 40 CFR 122, N.J.S.A. 58:10A-4, and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.2(a)1.ii., 13.3(b), and 13.4. In general, technology based effluent limitations are based on Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs), deve loped by the USEPA, or on case-by-case limitations developed through a BPJ analysis in cases where ELGs are not available or appropriate. ELGs are minimum technology based requirements applicable on a nation-wide basis and are published in 40 CFR Subchapter N. ELGs consider the category of industry that produce common pollutants taking into account the specific factors unique to a particular type of industry (manufacturing process, type and quantity of pollutants generated, types of treatment facilities available to treat the pollutants, etc.). In cases where ELGs are applicable for surface water dischargers, ELG loading limitations are calculated usin g the specified concentration value and the production information provided by the permittee. BPJ determina tions are authorized by Section 402 (a)(1) of the Clean

Water Act.

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5, Water Quality Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) are imposed when it has been determined that the discharge of a pollutant caus es an excursion of criteria specified in the New Jersey SWQS, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.1 et seq., and the Federal Water Quality Standards, 40 CFR Part 131. WQBELs are authorized by Section 301 of the Clean Water Act, 40 CFR 122, N.J.S.A. 58:10A-4, and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.2 and 13.3. The procedures used to develop WQBELs are contai ned in the State and Federal Standards. Specific procedures, methodologies, and equations are contained in the current USEPA "Technical Support Document for Water Quality-based Toxics Control" (TSD) (EPA- 505/2- 90-001) and are referenced in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5 and

13.6.

Expression of all effluent limitations is in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.14 and 13.15.

Whole effluent toxicity is expressed as a minimum as percent effluent.

Loading limitations (kg/day or g/day) are calculated by multiplying the long term average flow value for the respective outfall in million gallons per day (MGD) by the conversion factor of 3.785 (L/gal) and the appropriate concentration limitation (mg/L or μ g/L).

B. Basis and Derivation for Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements- Specific

All permit limitations and conditions in this permit action, are equal to or more stringent than those contained in the existing permit action. As a result, this permit action satisfies the federal and state anti-degradation regulations

at 40 CFR 131.12 and N.J.A.C. 7:9B -1.5(d), and no further anti-degradation analysis is necessary.

Monitoring frequencies and sample types are in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14, unless specified otherwise in the permit. In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14.2, the permittee may submit a written request for a modification of the permit to decrease monitoring frequencies for non-limited parameters listed in Part III if site specific conditions indicate the applicability of such a modification.

# DSN 001A: Cooling Tower Blowdown

1. Flow:

Monitoring for Effluent Flow is consistent with the existing permit and is required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.13 and 13.14. Flow shall be reported as a monthly average and a daily maximum with a calculated sample type as described in Part IV.

Monitoring for Intake Flow is required in this permit to assess the withdrawal rates from the receiving waters. Withdrawal rates have a direct effect on impingement a nd entrainment effects. Monitoring for intake flow shall be reported as a monthly average as well as a daily maximum with a calculated sample type.

2. Total Organic Carbon (TOC):

In the existing permit, the discharge limitations and monitoring requirements for TOC and petroleum hydrocarbons were reserved and referenced in Part IV. In this renewal permit, monitoring for TOC is imposed as a monthly average and daily maximum in Part III on the DMR. Monitoring for Effluent TOC is consistent with other NJPDES permits that authorize the disc harge of cooling tower blowdown. The monitoring frequency of once per month is imposed with a grab sample type.

3. Total Suspended Solids (TSS):

The Net TSS limits of 30 mg/L as a monthly average and 100 mg/L as a daily maximum are retained from the existing permit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. The calculation procedure is described in Part IV. The monitoring frequency for Net TSS is once per month . The permittee is eligible for net TSS limits because the intake water is drawn from the same body of water into which the effluent is discharged. Net limits are imposed in accordance with 40 CFR 122.34 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.4(k).

Monitoring for Intake TSS and Effluent TSS is also required as a monthly average and daily maximum to enable the Department to ensure that appropriate calculations are followed. The monitoring frequency is set at once per month with a grab sample type.

4. pH:

The daily minimum and daily maximum Effluent pH limitations are consistent with the existing permit and are imposed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. The monitoring frequency of twice per week is retained in this renewal permit along with a grab sample type.

A monitoring condition has been retained from the existing permit for Intake pH . This monitoring condition is being included to demonstrate compliance with the condition specified in Part IV of this renewal permit. Specifically, this condition specifies that if the inlet pH exceeds 9.0 S.U., the discharge can not exceed the inlet pH. If the inlet pH is less than 6.0 S.U., the discharge can not be less than the inlet pH. Intake pH shall be monitored and reported twice per week with a grab sample type.

5. Heat and Temperature:

Intake and effluent monitoring for temperature is retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Temperature shall be monitored on a continuous basis and reported as a monthly average and a daily maximum with a metered sample type.

Heat limits are retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. A heat limit of 50 MBTU/Hour on a net basis is imposed as a daily ma ximum where monthly average monitoring is also required. Heat limits shall be calculated on a once per day basis and reported in monthly monitoring report

forms. Calculation procedures are specified in Part IV.

### Fact Sheet Page 33 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# 6. Petroleum Hydrocarbons:

As stated in the existing permit, the discharge limitations for petroleum hydrocarbons were referenced in Part IV, where routine monitoring was not required. In clusion of petroleum hydrocarbons as a narrative requirement is continued in this renewal permit based on the nature of the operations at the Station and is consistent with other NJPDES permits that author ize the discharge of cooling tower blowdown.

Effluent limitations for petroleum hydrocarbons are consistent with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12 et seq and are referenced in Part IV. However, should information be come available that warrants the need for inclusion of requirements for these parameters, the Department reserves the right to reopen this permit to incorporate any necessary and appropriate limitations.

7. Chlorine Produced Oxidants (CPO):

The existing permit contained effluent limitations including a daily maximum limit of 1.0 mg/L and a monthly average limit of 0.76 mg/L for CPO. As stated in the ex isting permit, use of CPO as opposed to free available chlorine (FAC) is appropriate because CPO includes FA C and other fractions. This permit proposes effluent concentration limitations of 0.2 as a monthly averag e and 0.5 as a daily maximum, based on the Effluent Limitation Guidelines for the Steam Electric Category (40 CFR Section 423) for cooling tower blowdown. A narrative condition is included in Part IV which states that CPO may not be discharged from any operating unit for more than two hours in any one day, consistent with the Steam Electric ELGs. The permittee uses bromine in the cooling tower. As a result, CPO requirements are appropriate since CPO means the sum of free and combined chlorine and bromine as measured by the methods approved under N.J.A.C. 7:18.

Monitoring shall take place three times per week with a grab sample type.

8. Foam: The narrative foam permit condition is based on N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.6.

9. Toxics: In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.6(a), a WQBEL shall be imposed when the Department determines pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5 that the discharge of a pollutant causes an excursion above a SWQS.

In order to determine the need for toxic pollutant specific WQBELs, the Department has analyzed all effluent data sets made available to the Department. Acceptable data sets generally consist of, at a minimum, 10 data values including the most recent 21⁄2 years of data collection. A pollutant is considered discharged in “quantifiable amounts” when an exact amount of that pollutant is measured equal to or above the detection level reported by a laboratory analysis (refer to the “Monitoring Report Form Reference (MRF) Manual”, which can be found at http://www.nj.gov/dep/dwq/pdf/MRF_Manual.pdf, for further information). The Department has reviewed the most recent data set.

In the existing permit, net limitations were impos ed for Total Chromium (0.2 mg/L as a daily maximum) and Total Zinc (1.0 mg/L as a daily maximum). DMR data indicates that Chromium was not detected in the effluent while Zinc was detected at 0.064 mg/L. These limitations are carried forward in this permit action in accordance with the antibacksliding provisions at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. The monitoring frequency for Total

Chromium and Total Zinc is once per month using a grab sample type, however, in accordance with 40 CFR Part 423, monitoring for Total Chromium is not required unless the facility uses cooling tower maintenance chemicals containing Chromium.

In addition to the data recorded on the DMRs for Total Chromium and Total Zinc, several parameters were monitored on the WCR. The following table summarizes the toxics data for DSN 001A:

### Fact Sheet Page 34 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



## Parameter Number of

detects Number of

nondetects Highest detected value ( μg/L) NJ SWQS ( μg/L)
Chromium, Total 0 1 N/A 750
Copper 3 1 45.2 3.1

Nickel 2 2 20 22

Selenium 2 2 15 71

Zinc 1 0 64 81 

# Data is expressed as Total Recoverable for all metals in the table above.

Copper, Nickel, and Selenium and Zinc were detected in the effluent. There is insufficient data available for these four metals in order to calculate a WQBEL, however, the monitoring frequency is increased to

semiannual using a grab sample type. In the existing permit, monitoring for Zinc was only required when the facility used cooling tower maintenance chemicals. The detected data value for Zinc in the above table approaches the level of the NJ SWQS, as a result, monitoring for Zinc is required on a semiannual basis regardless of whether cooling tower maintenance chemicals are used.

Regarding the remaining Metals as well as Acids, Base/Neutrals, Pesticides, and Volatiles, insufficient data exists at the present time for these pollutants to dete rmine the need for WQBELs. Therefore, monitoring and reporting requirements have been retained in the permit renewal based on N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5(k)3 and the need to re-evaluate the necessity for WQBELs upon rene wal of the permit. Monitoring shall be conducted on

an annual basis using a grab sample type.

10. Whole Effluent Toxicity:

Section 101(a) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes a national policy of restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nati on's waters. In addition, section 101(a)(3) of the CWA and the State's SWQS at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(a)4 state that the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts is prohibited. Further, 40 CFR 122.44(d) and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.6(a) require that where the Department determines using site-specific WET data that a discharge causes, shows a reasonable potential to cause, or contributes to an excursion above the SWQS, the permitting authority must establish effluent limits for WET.

In order to determine the need for a new WET WQBEL, the Department reviews all available WET data. There is no existing Actue WET data for DSN 001A. As a result, WQBEL analyses have not been conducted. However, monitoring for Acute WET is proposed in this renewal permit based on N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5(k)3 and the need to re-evaluate the necessity for WQBELs upon renewal of the permit (based on the

recommendations of section 3.1 of the EPA Technical Support Document). Monitoring shall be conducted

on an annual basis using a composite sample type. The test species method to be used for acute testing shall

be the Mysidopsis bahia 96 hour definitive test. Such selection is based on the saline characteristics of the receiving stream, the existing permit, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5 and N.J.A.C. 7:18, the Regulations Governing the Certification of Laboratories and Environmental Measurements (N.J.A.C. 7:18).

DSN 003A: Stormwater Discharge (formerly included slag pond discharge until 2009)

1. Flow:

Monitoring for Flow is consistent with the existing permit and is required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.13

and 13.14. Flow shall be monitored once per month as a monthly average and a daily maximum with a

calculated sample type as described in Part IV.

2. Total Suspended Solids (TSS):

The existing permit included Net TSS limits of 30 mg/L as a monthly average and 100 mg/L as a daily maximum. Since intake water is no longer used in the closed slag ponds, these limits are retained but are being applied as Gross TSS effluent limits. The monitoring frequency is twice per month using a grab sample type.

### Fact Sheet Page 35 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



# 3. pH:

The daily minimum and daily maximum Effluent pH limitations are consistent with the existing permit and are imposed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. The monito ring frequency of twice per week is being reduced

to twice per month in consideration of the fact that DSN 003A is stormwater only. Samples shall be taken using a grab sample type.

The requirement to monitor Intake pH has been removed in this permit action. Up until 2009, this outfall included discharge from the two slag ponds which contained intake water. Since the slag ponds were closed in 2009 and this discharge consists only of stormwater, monitoring for Intake pH and all other intake parameters is no longer appropriate.

4. Total Organic Carbon (TOC):

Monitoring for TOC is imposed as a monthly average and daily maximum in Part III on the DMR. Monitoring for TOC is consistent with other NJPDES permits that authorize the discharge of stormwater. The monitoring frequency of once per month is imposed with a grab sample type.

5. Petroleum Hydrocarbons:

The existing permit contained Net limitations of 10 mg/L and 15 mg/L as monthly average and daily maximum effluent limits of for Petroleum Hydrocarbons. These limitations have been retained pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.8(c), but due to the slag pond closure the limitations are now applied as Gross effluent limitations. Effluent limitations for petroleum hydrocarbons are consistent with other NJPDES permits that authorize the discharge of stormwater. The monitoring frequency is twice per month using a grab sample type. Monitoring for Intake Petroleum Hydrocarbons is no longer required.

6. Whole Effluent Toxicity:

Section 101(a) of the CWA establishes a national policy of restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nation's waters. In addition, section 101(a)(3) of the CWA and the State's SWQS at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(a)4 state that the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts is prohibited. Further, 40 CFR 122.44(d) and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.6(a) require that where the Department determines using site-specific WET data that a discharge causes, shows a reasonable potential to cause, or contributes to an excursion above the SWQS, the permitting authority must establish effluent limits for WET. The existing permit includes an Acute WET limit of LC50>50%. In order to satisfy the requirements of the CWA, the State’s SWQS and the NJPDES Regulations, the need for a WQBEL for WET was evaluated for this discharge.

In order to determine the need for a new WET WQBEL, the Department has analyzed all available WET effluent data. In general, an acceptable data set consists of, at a minimum, 10 data values including the most recent 21⁄2 years of data collection. Between August 2005 and November 2011, the permittee conducted six Acute WET tests at DSN 003A using Mysidopsis bahia . All six test results show ed an LC50 > 100%. Based on the review of this data set, the Department has concluded the following:

z 

# WET was not found in quantifiable amounts in the effluent. As a result, WQBEL analyses have not been

conducted.

WET monitoring was appropriate for outfall DSN 003A when the discharge contained slag pond overflow, however, since that portion of the discharge ceased in 2009, WET monitoring is not required in this permit action. WET monitoring is not typically applied to stormwater only discharges.

### Fact Sheet Page 36 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# 7. Toxics:

The existing permit contained effluent limits for Arsenic, Nickel and Zinc. These limitations are retained, however, they are applied as Gross effluent limitations rather than Net effluent limitations as explained above. Net limitations are not appropriate for a stormwater only discharge. Arsenic monitoring shall continue on a quarterly frequency using a grab sample type, while monitoring for Nickel and Zinc will remain 6 times per

year using a grab sample type. Retention of these monitoring conditions will ensure that this stormwater only discharge is properly characterized now that the slag ponds are closed.

In addition to the limited metals, four data points were available for Selenium. Three of the four data points were below the detection level of the test, with the one detected value at 10 μg/L. A WQBEL analysis was not conducted because Selenium was not consistently detected in the effluent and the level of the detected value was much lower than the SWQS of 71 μg/L.

In order to collect sufficient data to determine the need for WQBELs, the Department has included monitoring and reporting requirements as authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5(l). An annual priority pollutant scan for Metals (except for Arsenic, Nickel and Zinc) shall be completed and submitted on the WCR forms. The sample type for these analyses shall be a grab sample.

DSN 009A and 010A: Once-through Cooling Water (Steam Unit 1 and Steam Unit 2)

With the exception of the Toxics section, the following conditions apply to both outfalls, with each outfall having its own respective monitoring location. Monitoring for the toxics is only applicable for DSN 010A since this will be the active outfall after repowering.

1. Flow:

Monitoring for Intake Flow is required in this permit to assess the withdrawal rates. Monitoring for intake

flow shall be monitored on a continuous basis and reported as a monthly average and daily maximum using a

calculated sample type.

Monitoring for Effluent Flow is consistent with the existing permit and is required pursuant to N.J.A.C.

7:14A-13.13 and 13.14. Flow shall be measured on a continuous basis and reported as a monthly average and a daily maximum with a calculated sample type as described in Part IV.

2. pH:

The daily minimum and daily maximum Effluent pH limitations are consistent with the existing permit and are imposed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. The monitoring frequency of three times per week is retained in this renewal permit with a grab sample type.

A monitoring condition has been retained from the existing permit for Intake pH . This monitoring condition is being included to demonstrate compliance with the condition specified in Part IV of this renewal permit. Specifically, this condition specifies that if the inlet pH exceeds 9.0 S.U., the discharge cannot exceed the inlet pH. If the inlet pH is less than 6.0 S.U., the discharge cannot be less than the inlet pH. Intake pH shall be monitored and reported three times per week with a grab sample type.

3. Heat and Temperature:

A daily maximum effluent limit for temperature of 38.3 degrees Celsius has been retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19 on a year rou nd basis for DSN 009A. Regarding DSN 010A, a daily maximum effluent limit for temperature of 38.3 degrees Celsius has been retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19 from September throug h May whereas a daily maximum effluent limit of 40.5 degrees Celsius is being imposed for the months of June through August. The Department has determined that the repowering project qualifies as a material and substantial alteration or addition to the

### Fact Sheet Page 37 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# permitted facility pursuant to Section 402(o) of the Federal Clean Water Act. Please refer to the Section 316(a) determination regarding the basis and background for these limitations.

Monthly average reporting for effluent temperature is also required for both outfalls consistent with the existing permit. Intake monitoring has also been retained where temperature shall be monitored on a

continuous basis and reported as a monthly average and a daily maximum using a metered sample type.

Temperature difference limitations are also being imposed. Specifically, an effluent net temperature

difference limit of 8.8 degrees Celsius as a daily maximum applies during the summer months of June through August and an effluent net temperature difference limit of 19.3 degrees Celsius as a daily maximum applies during the winter months of September through May for DSN 009A. These limits are retained from the existing permit. Also, an effluent net temperature difference limit of 11.0 degrees Celsius as a daily maximum shall apply during the summer months of June through August and an effluent net temperature difference limit of 19.3 degrees Celsius as a daily maximum applies during the winter months of September through May for DSN 010A.

Monthly average monitoring and reporting is also required for temperature difference on a year round basis for DSN 009A and DSN 010A. Monitoring and reporting for temperature difference is required on a once per day basis using a calculated sample type.

Heat limits are retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. While the effluent temperature and temperature difference limitations are being increased for DSN 010A during the summer months, the overall heat contribution from this facility is not being increased as evidenced by retention of the existing heat limits. Specifically, a heat limit of 1530 MBTU/Hour is retained as a daily maximum for the facility which applies to the sum of both outfalls. Heat limits shall be calculated on a once per day basis with

a calculated sample type, and reported in monthly monitoring report forms.

4. Petroleum Hydrocarbons:

The monthly average and daily maximum effluent limits of 10 mg/L and 15 mg/L have been retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19 as a narrative requirement. This determination was based on historical data showing that total petroleum hydrocarbons is not typically present in non-contact cooling water.

5. Chlorine Produced Oxidants (CPO):

The daily maximum limitation of 0.2 mg/L is based on 40 CFR 423.13(b)(1), N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.6(c), and is retained from the existing permit consistent with th e provisions of N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Monthly average monitoring and reporting is also required.

A narrative condition has been included in Part IV to ensure that bromination only occurs for two hours per day consistent with 40 CFR Part 423. Monitoring for CPO shall be conducted three times per week with a grab sample type.

6. Toxics:

The discharges from DSNs 009A and 010A are similar, both consisting of once through cooling water for steam electric units. As a result, monitoring for th e toxic parameters was performed only at DSN 010A and considered to be representative of both outfalls, as authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-4.4(b)(1).

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.6(a), a WQBEL shall be imposed when the Department determines pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5 that the discharge of a pollutant causes an excursion above a SWQS.

In order to determine the need for toxic pollutant specific WQBELs, the Department has analyzed all effluent data sets made available to the Department. Acceptable data sets generally consist of, at a minimum, 10 data values including the most recent 21⁄2 years of data collection. A pollutant is considered discharged in

### Fact Sheet Page 38 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# “quantifiable amounts” when an exact amount of that pollutant is measured equal to or above the detection level reported by a laboratory analysis (refer to the “Monitoring Report Form Reference (MRF) Manual”, which can be found at http://www.nj.gov/dep/dwq/pdf/MRF_Manual.pdf, for further information). The Department has reviewed the most recent data set.

z 

# At this time, insufficient data exist to determine the need for WQBELs. Specifically, four data values were collected in 2008 for Selenium and the other metals below were detected in the one sample taken for the 2009 permit application. The following table summarizes the detected pollutants for DSN

010A:

Parameter Number

of detects Number of

nondetects Highest detected value ( μg/L) NJ SWQS ( μg/L)

Arsenic 1 0 4.3 0.061 Bis (2-Ethylhexyl)

Phthalate 1 0 6.4 2.2

Boron 1 0 3800 N/A

Iron 1 0 169 N/A Magnesium 1 0 1,040,000 N/A Manganese 1 0 30.1 100

Selenium 1 3 5 71

Zinc 1 0 20.8 81

In order to collect sufficient data to determine the need for WQBELs, the Department has included monitoring and reporting requirements as authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5(l). As a result of the data values in the table above, Arsenic and Boron monitoring is increased to a semiannual frequency with a grab sample type on the DMR form for DSN 010A. Increased Boron monitoring is consistent with other NJPDES permits for power plants. Monitoring is not increased for Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate as this is a common lab contaminant, nor is it increased for Iron, which is not expected to be added by the processes at the Station. Monitoring is not increased for Managanese, Selenium, and Zinc because the detected values do not approach the SWQS. An

annual priority pollutant scan for DSN 010A including Acids, Base/Neutrals, Metals, Pesticides, and Volatiles shall be completed and submitted on the WCR forms. The sample type for these analyses shall be a grab sample.

DSN 013A: Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent (I ndustrial and Treated Sanitary Wastewater)

1. Flow:

Monitoring for Flow is consistent with the existing permit and is required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.13

and 13.14. Flow shall be measured on a continuous basis and reported as a monthly average and a daily

maximum with a metered sample type.

2. pH:

The daily minimum and daily maximum pH limitations are consistent with the existing permit and are imposed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. The monitoring frequency of continuous is retained in this renewal permit with a metered sample type.

3. Total Suspended Solids (TSS):

The TSS limits of 30 mg/L as a monthly average and 100 mg/L as a daily maximum are retained from the existing permit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. The monitoring frequency of twice per month is retained in this renewal permit and samples shall be obtained with a 4 hour composite sample type.

### Fact Sheet Page 39 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# 4. Petroleum Hydrocarbons:

The monthly average and daily maximum effluent limits of 10 mg/L and 15 mg/L for petroleum hydrocarbons have been retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Petroleum hydrocarbons shall be monitored on a twice per month basis with a grab sample type.

5. Total Organic Carbon:

The monthly average limit of 21 mg/L for total organic carbon has been retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Daily maximum monitoring and reporting is also required on a concentration and loading basis. Monthly average loading monitoring is also required. The monitoring frequency of once per month and the grab sample type are retained in this renewal permit.

6. Dissolved Oxygen (DO):

The effluent limitations for DO are based on the SWQS at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.14(c) and the impaired status of the GEHB. This segment of the receiving stream is listed on Sublist 5 of the 305(b) Report and 303(d) List of impaired waterbodies as not meeting criteria for Dissolved Oxygen. A 24-hour average limitation of 5.0 mg/L and an instantaneous minimum limitation of 4.0 mg/L adequately protect the instream water quality for DO. The monitoring frequency is once per month with a grab sample type.

7. Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET):

Section 101(a) of the CWA establishes a national policy of restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nation's waters. In addition, section 101(a)(3) of the CWA and the State's SWQS at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(a)4 state that the discharg e of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts is prohibited. Further, 40 CFR 122.44(d) and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.6(a) require that where the Department determines using site-specific WET data that a discharge causes, shows a reasonable potential to cause, or contributes to an excursion above the SWQS, the permitting authority must establish effluent limits for WET. The existing permit includes an Acute WET limit of LC50>50%. In order to satisfy the requirements of the CWA, the State’s SWQS and the NJPDES Regulations, the need for a new WQBEL for WET was evaluated for this discharge.

In order to determine the need for a new WET WQBEL, the Department has analyzed all available WET effluent data. In general, an acceptable data set consists of, at a minimum, 10 data values including the most recent 21⁄2 years of data collection. Between August 2005 and November 2011, the permittee conducted eight Acute WET tests at DSN 013A using Mysidopsis bahia . All eight test results showed an LC50 > 100%. Based on the review of this data set, the Department has concluded the following:

z 

# WET was not found in quantifiable amounts in the effluent. As a result, WQBEL analyses have not been

conducted.

On January 5, 2009 the NJPDES Rules were readopted. This readoption repealed N.J.A.C. 7:14A-5.3(a) which contained the state minimum effluent standard for acute WET and instead adopted an acute WET action level of LC50>50% at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.18(f). Therefore, consistent with this requirement, the existing and effective acute WET limitation of LC50>50% is being replaced with an acute WET action level of LC50>50% in this renewal. Monitoring and reporting will be requ ired to determine whether the discharge causes, shows a reasonable potential to cause, or contributes to an excursion above the SWQS.

Imposing an action level for acute WET will be equally prot ective of water quality as an effluent limit in this circumstance, since the violation of either the WET limitation or the action level carries with it the same enforceable permit condition to initiate the Toxicity Reduction and Implementation Requirements (TRIR), in order to correct the toxicity problem should this value be exceeded. The Department anticipates there will be no change in water quality as a result of this change. This change satisfies the antibacksliding provisions at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19, which incorporate Section 402(o)3 of the Federal Clean Water Act, because it includes

### Fact Sheet Page 40 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# the TRIR provisions. Specifically, Section 402(o)3 prohibits the revision of an effluent limit “if the implementation of such limitation would result in a violation of a water quality standard.” In this circumstance, violation of either the numerically identical action level or an effluent limitation will trigger an enforceable permit condition to conduct a TRIR in order to address or prevent a violation of a water quality

standard.

The test species method to be used for acute testing shall be the Mysidopsis bahia 96 hour definitive test. Such selection is based on the saline characteristics of the receiving stream, the existing permit, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5 and N.J.A.C. 7:18, the Regulations Governing the Certification of Laboratories and Environmental Measurements (N.J.A.C. 7:18).

As authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.2(a)14, the monito ring frequency for acute WET is established at annual

with a composite sample type.

7. Toxics:

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.6(a), a WQBEL shall be imposed when the Department determines pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5 that the discharge of a pollutant causes an excursion above a SWQS.

In order to determine the need for toxic pollutant spec ific WQBELs, the Department has analyzed all effluent data sets made available to the Department. Acceptable data sets generally consist of, at a minimum, 10 data values including the most recent 21⁄2 years of data collection. A pollutant is considered discharged in “quantifiable amounts” when an exact amount of that pol lutant is measured equal to or above the detection level reported by a laboratory analysis (refer to the “Monitoring Report Form Reference (MRF) Manual”, which can be found at http://www.nj.gov/dep/dwq/pdf/M RF_Manual.pdf, for further information). Based on the review of the data sets, the Department has concluded the following:

• The existing permit contains effluent limitations for four toxic pollutants in the total recoverable form, namely Copper, Total Chromium, Nickel, and Zinc as well as Total Iron. The data for these metals is summarized in the Permit Summary Table for DSN 013A near the end of this fact sheet. All data values for Total Chromium, Iron, Nickel and Zinc are below the respective SWQS for these parameters. The existing limitations are carried forward from the existing permit for Total Chromium, Iron, Nickel and Zinc in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Monitoring for these limited metals

will continue on a quarterly basis with a 4-hour composite sample type to be reported on the DMR. Consistent with the intent of 40 CFR 122.45(c) an d N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.14(b), monitoring data for toxic metals (excluding Hexavalent Chromium) shall be expressed as total recoverable. As authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.14(b)3, the monitoring data for Hexavalent Chromium shall be expressed as

dissolved.

z 

# At this time, insufficient data is available for most priority pollutant parameters to determine the need for WQBELs. Specifically, four data values were collected in 2008 for Arsenic and Selenium on the WCR and the other data listed below was collected in a priority pollutant scan that the permittee submitted with the 2009 permit application. The following table summarizes the detected pollutants

for DSN 013A:

Parameter Number of

detects Number of

nondetects Highest detected value ( μg/L) NJ SWQS ( μg/L)

Arsenic 4 1 169 0.061 Bis (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate 1 0 13.0 2.2
Chromium, Total 1 0 0.01 750

Nickel 1 0 0.04 22
Toluene 1 0 0.27 15,000

Zinc 1 0 0.676 81

Selenium 4 0 40 71

### Fact Sheet Page 41 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



# In order to collect sufficient data to determin e the need for WQBELs, the Department has included monitoring and reporting requirements as authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5(l). As a result of the data values in the table above, Arsenic and Selenium monitoring is increased to a semiannual frequency with a grab sample type on the DMR form. Monitoring is not increased for Bis (2- Ethylhexyl) Phthalate as this is a common lab contaminant. An annual priority pollutant scan including Acids, Base/Neutrals, Metals (except for the five metals listed above), Pesticides, and Volatiles shall be completed and submitted on the WCR form. The sample type for these analyses

shall be a grab sample.

• A review of the data shows that Copper is the only limited metal with data values that are higher than the SWQS of 4.8 as acute instream water quality criteria, and 3.1 as chronic instream water quality criteria. Since Copper was found to be discharged in quantifiable amounts in the effluent, further WQBEL analyses have been conducted.

Quantified Pollutant Analysis Methodology :

For each pollutant discharged in quantifiable amounts in the effluent, a cause analysis was conducted using the procedures specified in the USEPA Technical Support Document in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5. The cause analysis consists of a comp arison between the pollutant’s maximum effluent concentration value (or average value of a long term data set in the case of criteria with an averaging period longer than one year) and the pollutant’s applicable site specific wasteload allocation.

Using the steady state mass balance equation, wasteload allocations were developed utilizing the applicable surface water quality criteria, pollutant specific upstream concentrations (when available), and dilution factors from the water quality study dated February 1993, titled Volume 4 from the “Application for NJPDES Permit for the FGD Wastewater Treatment System Surface Water Discharge,” prepared by CH2M Hill. This study resulted in an acute dilution factor of 4 and a chronic dilution factor of 10.

For Copper, the applied criterion is based on a water effect ratio (WER) of 1.0. Default translators were

utilized to convert total recoverable data to its di ssolved equivalent for the cause analyses for aquatic criteria, and, if applicable, to convert the dissolved long term averages to total recoverable values for determining WQBELs. Translator va lues for Coppper are listed below, and are based on the conversion factors for dissolved metals at 40 CFR Part 131 and N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(c)6. The default metal translators used in the analyses are as follows:

Metal Saline Water

Translator

(acute) Translator
(chronic)

Copper 0.830 0.830



# Quantified Pollutant Analysis Results :

Cause analyses were conducted on Copper. As a re sult of the cause analyses, Copper was not found to cause an excursion of the SWQS. Refer to Table A at the back of the Fact Sheet for a summary of the effluent limitation analysis for the Toxic Metals, Organic Compounds, and/or Cyanide. The Department’s

conclusions and results are as follows:

z 

# Since the discharge of Copper in the permittee’s effluent was not found to cause an excursion of the SWQS, a newly calculated WQBEL is not proposed in the draft permit at this time. However, consistent with the antibacksliding provisions at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.9(a) and the antidegradation requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5(d), the existing daily maximum concentration effluent limitation of 8.7 mg/L has been retained in this permit acti on. The effluent limitation is based on a WQBEL

### Fact Sheet Page 42 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# analysis conducted for the existing permit. Monitoring shall continue on a quarterly basis using a 4- hour composite sample type.

DSN 014: Discharge from the Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) System – internal monitoring point

1. Flow:

Monitoring for Flow is consistent with the existing permit and is required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.13

and 13.14. Flow shall be measured on a continuous basis and reported as a monthly average and a daily

maximum with a metered sample type.

2. pH:

The daily minimum and daily maximum pH limitations are consistent with the existing permit and are imposed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. The monitoring frequency of once per day is retained in this renewal permit along with a grab sample type.

3. 5-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand:

Based on discharge monitoring report data which shows low levels of BOD 5 

# , the Department has continued a monitor only requirement for BOD 5 

# as a monthly average and daily maximum on both a concentration basis and a mass loading basis. Monitoring shall be conducted on a twice per month basis with a 4 hour composite sample type.

4. Total Suspended Solids (TSS):

The TSS limits of 30 mg/L as a monthly average and 100 mg/L as a daily maximum are retained from the existing permit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Loading limitations of 8.18 kg/day as a monthly average and 27.25 kg/day as a daily maximum have also been retained from the existing permit. The monitoring frequency for TSS is twice per month with a 4 hour composite sample type.

5. Temperature:

Effluent monitoring for Temperature is retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Temperature shall be monitored on a once per day basis using a grab sample type and reported as a monthly average and a daily maximum. Temperature limits are not imposed at DSN 014 since this is an internal monitoring point and temperature limits are imposed at DSN 010, which is the outfall that this internal monitoring point is routed to.

6. Petroleum Hydrocarbons:

The monthly average and daily maximum effluent limits of 10 mg/L and 15 mg/L for P etroleum Hydrocarbons have been retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Petroleum hydrocarbons shall be monitored on a twice per month basis with a grab sample type.

7. Total Organic Carbon:

Monitoring for Total Organic Carbon as a monthly average and a daily maximum has been retained from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Monthly average and daily maximum mass loading reporting is also required. The monitoring frequency of twice per month as well as a 4 hour composite sample type are retained in this renewal permit.

### Fact Sheet Page 43 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# 8. Total Sulfide:

The Total Sulfide limits of 3900 ug/L as a monthly average and 7900 ug/L as a daily maximum are retained from the existing permit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19. Loading limitations of 1.1 kg/day as a monthly average and 2.1 kg/day as a daily maximum have also been retained from the existing permit. These limits are WQBELs and were originally calculated using dilution factors obtained from Volume 4 from the “Application for NJPDES Permit for the FGD Wastewater Treatment System Surface Water Discharge,” dated February 1993 prepared by CH2M Hill. The monitoring frequency for total sulfide is once per week with a 4 hour composite sample type.

9. Whole Effluent Toxicity:

In order to determine the need for a WET WQBEL, the Department has analyzed all available WET effluent data. In general, an acceptable data set consists of, at a minimum, 10 data values including the most recent 21⁄2 years of data collection. Between August 2005 and November 2010, the permittee conducted nine Acute WET tests at DSN 014A using Mysidopsis bahia . All nine test results showed an LC50 > 100%. Based on the review of the applicable data set, the Department has concluded the following:

z 

# WET was not found in quantifiable amounts in the effluent. As a result, WQBEL analyses have not been

conducted.

As explained in the basis for WET at DSN 013A above, the existing and effective acute WET limitation of LC50>50% is being replaced with an acute WET action le vel of LC50>50% in this renewal. Monitoring and reporting will be required to determine whether the discharge causes, shows a reasonable potential to cause, or contributes to an excursion above the SWQS.

The test species method to be used for acute testing shall be the Mysidopsis bahia 96 hour definitive test. Such selection is based on the saline characteristics of the receiving stream, the existing permit, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.5 and N.J.A.C. 7:18, the Regulations Governing the Certification of Laboratories and Environmental Measurements (N.J.A.C. 7:18).

As authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.2(a)14, the monitoring frequency for acute WET is established at annual using a composite sample type.

10. Toxics:

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.6(a), a WQBEL shall be imposed when the Department determines pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5 that the discharge of a pollutant causes an excursion above a SWQS.

In order to determine the need for toxic pollutant spec ific WQBELs, the Department has analyzed all effluent data sets made available to the Department. Acceptable data sets generally consist of, at a minimum, 10 data values including the most recent 21⁄2 years of data collection. A pollutant is considered discharged in “quantifiable amounts” when an exact amount of that pol lutant is measured equal to or above the detection level reported by a laboratory analysis (refer to the "NJPDES Monitoring Report Form Reference Manual," updated December 2007 for further information). Based on the review of the data sets, the Department has concluded the following:

z 

# At this time, insufficient data exist for most of these parameters to determine the need for WQBELs. Specifically, four data values were collected in 2008 for Selenium and Zinc. In addition to the WCR data submitted during the last permit cycle, the permittee provided priority pollutant data with the 2009 permit application. The following table summarizes the detected pollutants for DSN 014A:

### Fact Sheet Page 44 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444



# Parameter Number

of detects Number of

nondetects Highest detected value ( μg/L) NJ SWQS ( μg/L) Bis (2-Ethylhexyl)

Phthalate 1 0 5.3 2.2

Boron 1 0 3790 N/A

Iron 1 0 214 N/A

Selenium 2 2 50 71

Sulfate 1 0 2100 N/A

Zinc 1 3 100 81

In order to collect sufficient data to determin e the need for WQBELs, the Department has included monitoring and reporting requirements as authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5(l). Monitoring for these six parameters has been increased to semi-annual with either a grab or 4-hour composite sample

type.

The existing permit contains effluent limitations for four toxic pollutants, including Total Recoverable (TR) Arsenic, TR Copper, TR Mercury and Sulfide. These limitations were originally water quality based. The data for these parameters is summarized in the Permit Summary Table for DSN 014A near the end of this fact sheet. The existing limitations for Arsenic, Copper, Mercury and Sulfide are carried forward from the existing permit pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.19 with a weekly monitoring frequency using a 4 hour composite sample type on the DMR form.

Because this outfall will cease discharge upon completion of the repowering project, no additional monitoring is specified for this outfall.

DSN 015: Consequential Sequencing Batch Reactor – internal monitoring point

1. Flow:

This permit action does not include a numerical limitation for flow. Monitoring conditions are applied pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.13. Flow shall be measured on a continuous basis and reported as a monthly average and a daily maximum with a metered sample type.

2. pH:

The daily minimum and daily maximum effluent limitations are based on the definition of secondary treatment at 40 CFR 133.102(c) and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.2 (f). The monitoring frequency is once per month using a grab sample type in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14.2.

3. Fecal Coliform:

The limitations of 200 colonies per 100 mL as a mont hly average and 400 colonies per 100 mL as a weekly average are based on N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.5(b) 1. and 2. The monitoring frequency is once per month with a grab sample type in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14.2.

4. Enterococci:

The Department continues to impose Fecal Coliform as the bacterial standard for effluent control. Since Enterococci criteria were adopted for SE1 and SC waters in the October 2006 Surface Water Quality Standards, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.14(d)1(ii)1, an Enterococci m onitoring requirement is included in this permit. The monitoring frequency is once per month with a grab sample type in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-14.2.

### Fact Sheet Page 45 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# 5. Ammonia (Total as N):

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.6(a), a WQBEL shall be imposed when the Department has determined that the discharge of a pollutant causes an excursion above a SWQS. The SWQS for ammonia in saline waters is identified at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.14. At this time, insufficient facility specific effluent data exists to determine the need to impose WQBELs for ammonia. Therefore, as authorized by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.2(a)14 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-13.5(l), the Department has included monthly av erage and daily maximum monitoring and reporting requirements for this pollutant in the permit. Continue d ammonia monitoring is necessary in order to assess ammonia contributions from this internal wastestream. The monitoring frequency is once per month with a grab sample type.

6. Toxics and WET: DSN 015 is an internal monitoring point. The treated effluent from this outfall enters the wastewater treatment plant where it is treated further, before being discharged via DSN 013. Because this is an internal monitoring point and the effluent receives further treatment before being discharged, toxics and WET are not applied to this discharge.

C. Recommended Quantitati on Levels Policy (RQLs):

The Department developed the RQLs to insure that useful data is provided to the Department in order to characterize the discharger's effluent. The Department recommends that the permittee achieve detection levels that are at least as sensitive as the RQLs found in Part III. The Department has determined that the quantitation levels listed therein can be reliably and consistently achieved by most state certified laboratories for most of the listed pollutants using the appropriate procedures specif ied in 40 CFR Part 136. FAILURE TO ATTAIN A QUANTITATION LEVEL AS SENSITIVE AS A LISTED RQL IS NOT A VIOLATION OF THE PERMIT, BUT DOES TRIGGER SOME ADDITIONAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PERMITTEE AS

SPECIFIED IN PART IV OF THE PERMIT.

D. Reporting Requirements:

All data requested to be submitted by this permit shall be reported on the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), Waste Characterization Reports (WCR), and Residual Transfer Reports (RTR) as appropriate and submitted to the Department as required by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.8(a).

E. General conditions:

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-2.3 and 6.1(b), specific rules from the New Jersey Administrative Code have been incorporated either expressly or by reference in Part I and Part II.

F. Operator Classification Number:

The operator classification requirement is no longer included in the permit. To obtain or determine the appropriate licensed operator classification for the treatment works specified, the permittee shall contact the Bureau of Construction and Connection Permits at (609) 984-4429.

G. Flow Related Conditions:

The wastewater discharges from BLE are addressed in the currently valid Cape May County Wastewater Management Plan that was adopted in 2001 and revised in 2007. The facility is noted in the 2001 plan as having a surface water discharge into the Great Egg Harbor/ Tuckahoe River estuary system consisting of industrial processing wastewater, largely non-contact cooling waters.

The net effect of the repowering project will be a substantial reduction in the volume of processed wastewater discharging into the Great Egg Harbor/ Tuckahoe River estuary system.

### Fact Sheet Page 46 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# Although the repowering project is not specifically addres sed in the Plan, due to the nature of the repowering project and the projected impact on the region’s surface water quality, the Department has determined that it is

Consistent with the Plan.

H. Residuals/Sludge Conditions:

Analysis of the industrial sludge for the parameters total solids, arsenic, selenium, copper, zinc, nickel, mercury, chromium, and iron found on Table III-J-1 of Part III is required because they were detected in previous sludge quality monitoring data submitted to the Department under NJPDES Permit No. NJ0005444 and the Sludge Quality Assurance Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:14C). The pa rameters nitrate nitrogen, total kjeldahl nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, potassium, calcium, molybdenum, phosphorus, beryllium, cadmium, and lead were added to

Table III-J-1 b ecause they can reasonably be expected to be present based on various on-site environmental monitoring submitted as part of the application. The frequency of monitoring is dependent on the amount of sludge produced. Since the amount of sludge generated is le ss than 290 dry metric tons per year the frequency of monitoring is annually.

The annual Residual Transfer Report required for reporting the quantity of sludge removed from the domestic

treatment works remains in NJPDES Permit No. NJ0077771 pending development of a new SQAR General Permit for domestic treatment works with a permitted fl ow less than or equal to 20,000 gallons per day.

All treatment works with a discharge regulated under N.J.A.C. 7:14A must have permits that implement applicable technical standards for residuals management. Generally, the permit issued to the treatment works generating the residual will include applicable residual quality monitoring as well as other general conditions required by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6. In addition, the permit may include condi tions related to any aspect of residual management developed on a case-by-case basis where the Department determines that such conditions are necessary to protect public health and the environment.

The permit may also include conditions establishing requirements for treatment works that send residual to other facilities for final use or disposal. Thus, ALL residual preparers (that is, generators as well as persons who manage the residual) are required to submit basic information concerning their residual use and disposal practices. This basic information is submitted by compliance with the Sludge Quality Assurance Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:14C).

The documents listed below have been used to establish the residual conditions of the Draft Permit:

a. United States Environmental Protection Agency “Standards for the use or disposal of sewage sludge” (40 CFR Part 503), b. "New Jersey Pollutant Discharge El imination System” (N.J.A.C. 7:14A), c. Technical Manual for Residuals Management, May 1998, d. USEPA Part 503 Implementation Guidance, EPA 83 3-R-95-001, October 1995. This document is a compilation of federal requirements, management practices and EPA recommended permit conditions for sewage sludge use and management practices, e. USEPA A Plain English Guide to the EPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule, EPA/832/R-93/003, September
1994, f. New Jersey “Statewide Sludge Management Plan”, January 2006 and g. New Jersey “Sludge Quality Assurance Regulations” (SQAR), N.J.A.C. 7:14C.

I. Biocides or Other Cooling Water Additives:

The Department has approved the permittee’s request to use the following corrosion inhibitors, biocides, or other cooling water additives in its non-contact cooling water: Biocide (Spectrus OX1200). In the boiler water, the permittee has been approved to use Disodium Phosphate, and Trisodium Phosphate. Additionally, cooling tower water is treated with bromine. The wastewater is treated with Hydrated Lime, 93% Sulfuric Acid, and a polymer (CLEARTREAT 2300G). If the permittee decides to begin using any additional additives in the future, the

### Fact Sheet Page 47 of 60

# permittee must notify the Bureau of Surface Water Permitting at least 180 days prior to use so that the permit may be reopened to incorporate any additional limitations deemed necessary.



# 11 Summary of Stormwater Conditions for DSNs 003A, 006A and 007A:

A. Stormwater Requirements for DSNs 003A, 006A and 007A

DSN003A consists of stormwater from the former sl ag pond area whereas DSNs 006A and 007A consist of stormwater from yard drains that drain non-process areas of the facility. Based on site inspections, the drainage areas for these outfalls appear to be well maintained and no process operations are conducted within the drainage areas. The permittee has a long term compliance history and good housekeeping practices at this facility. No significant industrial activities occur at these areas and stormwater is not exposed to source material so there is minimum potential for

stormwater contamination.

All aboveground storage tanks have been constructed to API specifications and also have secondary containment, as per BLE's DPCC/DCR Plan. All dry chemical storage is within enclosed buildings, thereby reducing the potential for inadvertent discharge of these materials into stormwater.

The existing permit required BMPs. This renewal permit requires compliance with Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) requirements.

BMPs and development of an SPPP are being imposed, as described later in Part IV. An SPPP requires a facility to take measures to eliminate/minimize exposure of precipitation to industrial source material. An SPPP can not only reduce the pollutants reaching the receiving water through poi nt sources but also through non-point sources previously unregulated. Therefore, use of an SPPP in concert with monitoring requirements (i.e. no effluent limits) is appropriate.

Based on the above, the Department is requiring annual sampling to verify the effectiveness of the SPPP for DSN 006A. These sampling requirements are specified in Part III for DSN 006A. Since DSN 006A and 007A drain similar areas and are expected to show similar contamination (if any) , the Department has required monitoring of only one of these outfalls, namely DSN 006A as this outfall is located in the vicinity of where Unit 4 will be located. This requirement is consistent with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-4.4(b)1. As described previously, sampling requirements are also imposed for DSN 003A.

B. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)

Pursuant to the Federal Stormwater Regulations, 40 CF R 122.26(b)(14), BLE falls under the definition of "stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity." The proposed BMPs (BMPs can be a component of any SPPP plan) and other conditions are authorized by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). These Statutes are implemented by the NJPDES N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1 permit programs.

In accordance with the Federal Clean Water Act and its implementing regulations, specifically, 40 CFR 122.26 (a) (1)(ii), this facility is required to have a permit for its stormwater discharges to surface water, if material handling equipment or activities, raw materials, intermediate products, final products, waste materials, by-products, or industrial machinery are exposed to stormwater.

BMPs are being utilized to eliminate exposure of stormwater to industrial source material or to prevent discharge of contaminated stormwater. The facility will comply with all the BMPs outlined in Part IV of this permit.

The Department is authorized under the Federal Regulations, specifically 40 CFR 122.44(k), and under NJPDES rules in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-6.2(b)1, to impose BMPs to control or abat e the discharge of pollutants in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in NJPDES permits when the Department finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible or when BMPs are reasonably necessary to achieve effluent limitations and standards or to carry out the purposes and intent of the State and Federal Acts. The SPPP being proposed in this permit will consist of requirements for preparing the SPPP,

### Fact Sheet Page 48 of 60

NJPDES # : NJ0005444 

# certifying the preparation of the plan, implementing the SPPP by a compliance date, certifying the implementation of the SPPP, and annual re-certifying and reporting of the effectiveness of the SPPP. BMP’s are a component of the SPPP. The objective of the SPPP is to control stormwater contamination through the elimination of exposure, during and after storm events, of industrial materials, machinery, waste products, or other source materials located at the facility.

The SPPP also includes conditions which are consistent with the Department's and EPA's stormwater permitting philosophy of reducing the amount of pollution created and to prevent pollution from occurring in the first place. The SPPP requirements operate as limitations and controls on stormwater effluent discharges to minimize stormwater contamination and are intended to achieve this through Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT) and Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT).



# 12 Variances to Permit Conditions:

A thermal variance is granted with respect to temperature, in accordance with Section 316(a) of the Clean Water Act.

Procedures for modifying a WQBEL are found in the New Jersey NJSWQS, N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.8 and 1.9. If a WQBEL has been proposed in this permit action, the permittee may re quest a modification of that limitation in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-11.7(a). This request must be made prior to the close of the public comment period.

* Heat – Net is the sum of the Heat-Net rate for DSNs 009 and 010. ** The 12 degree Celsius delta T exceedance occurred on June 6, 2011 and was reported to NJDEP in the June 2011 DMR. The permittee contends that at the time of the exceedance, only one circulating pump was operating as the second circulating pump malfunctioned due to excessive vibrations where the pump was then repaired. In addition, inconsistent readings were noted in the thermocouples measuring the delta T and new thermocouples were installed after the June 6, 2011 event. *** Applied as a monthly requirement in Part IV.   Bromination shall occur for less than two hours per day.

(1) Once the station is repowered, an effluent temperature limit of 40.5 degrees Celsius is being imposed as a daily maximum for the months of June throug h August for DSN 010A only. Also, an effluent net temperature

difference limit of 11.0 degrees Celsius as a daily maximum shall apply for the months of June through August.

a. The following notes refer to the monitoring requirements contained in the tables located in Part III of the permit.

i. No visible sheen. The parameter Petroleum Hy drocarbons shall be analyzed in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12.8 et seq.

ii. The term "Daily Min." means to report minimum value obtained (usually only applied to pH).

iii. The term "Average" means to report the average value of the results.

iv. The term "Daily Max." means to report the analytical result which yielded the highest

concentration.

v. "NL" means not limited, but monitoring and reporting is required.

vi. Reporting of analytical results shall follow the procedures described in the Department's "Discharge Monitoring Report Instruction Manual" (latest revision).

vii. Grab samples shall be collected at the designate d sampling points and shall be collected as soon as practicable within 30 minutes and no later than 45 minutes after the start of the stormwater discharge (ASWD). For sampling, follow guidelines in, "NJDEP Field Sampling Procedures Manual", latest edition.

viii. Grab -3 is a multi-grab sample that shall be collected at the sampling points as follows: the first grab sample shall be collected (in accordance w ith "NJDEP Field Sampling Procedures Manual", latest edition) within 30 minutes (or as soon ther eafter as practicable) after stormwater discharge (ASWD); the second grab between 30 and 45 minutes ASWD (or as soon thereafter as practicable); and the third grab between 45 and 60 minutes ASWD (or as soon thereafter as practicable).

ix. pH values that are measured below lower pH limit are not in violation if they are not lower than the measured pH of the precipitatio n collected on site during the storm event. To qualify for this exception, pH of that precipitation must be reported on the monitoring report form as "Rain" pH.

x. A "discernible, confined and discrete conveyance" includes, but is not limited to, a pipe, ditch or channel. Examples of such conveyances include storm sewer pipes, drainage ditches, spillways, gullies, swales, gutters, curbs and streets.

2. Stormwater Definitions

a. Unless otherwise stated in this permit, the definitions set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2 and Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Instruction Manual are incorporated into this permit.

i. "Annual monitoring" means monitoring conducted at a minimum frequency of once every calendar year, beginning with the Effective Date of the Permit unless there is a different period specified in the permit.

## ii. "Composite Sample" means a combination of individual (or continuously taken) samples (aliquots) of at least 100 millilite rs, collected at periodic interv als over a specified time period. The composite can be either time proportional or flow proportional; either the time interval between each aliquot or the volume of each aliquo t should be proportional to either the flow at the time of sampling or the total flow since the collection of the previous aliquot. Aliquots may be collected manually or automatically. For intermittent discharges less than 4 hours duration, aliquots shall be taken at intervals not to exceed 15 minutes. For intermittent discharges of 4 hours or more duration, aliquots shall be taken at intervals not to exceed 30 minutes.

iii. "EDP" means Effective Date of the Permit.

iv. "EDPM" means the Effective Date of the Permit Modification".

v. "mg/L" means milligrams per liter.

vi. "Outfall" shall mean (a) a point within the facility at which stormwater associated with the facility's industrial activity enters a surface water body from a discernible, confined and discrete conveyance; or (b) a point at which stormwater associated with the facility's industrial activity enters a surface water body from a discernible, confined and discrete conveyance for transport as stormwater to an offsite surface water body.

vii. "Process wastewater" means any water which, during manufacturing or processing, comes into direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, byproduct, or waste product. Process wastewater includes, but is not limited to, "leachate" and cooling water other than " non-contact cooling water". (Please note that for the purposes of this NJPDES permit, th e stormwater discharges regulated by this permit are not process wastewater)

viii. "Monthly Monitoring" means monitoring conducted at a minimum frequency of once every month, beginning with the EDP unless there is a different period specified.

ix. "Quarterly Monitoring "means monitoring conducted at a minimum frequency of once every three calendar months, beginning with the EDP unless there is a different period specified in the permit.

x. "Semiannual Monitoring" means monitoring conducted at a minimum frequency of once every six calendar months, beginning with the EDP unless there is a different period specified in the permit.

xi. "Weekly Monitoring" means monitoring conducted at a minimum of once every seven calendar day period, beginning with the EDP unless there is a different period specified.

xii. "Separate Storm Sewer" means a conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, streets, catch basins, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains): 1. Designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater; 2. Which is not part of a combined sewer system; and 3. Which is not part of a publicly owned treatment works (POTW)

xiii. "Seven Day" or "Weekly Average Value" means the greatest sum of all daily discharges measured during any seven consecutive days, divided by the number of daily discharges measured during that period. Results may be expressed in loading (g/day or kg/d) and/or concentration (ug/L or mg/L). Only data coll ected within a single calendar month may be used in the calculation of a seven day or weekly average value for that month.

## xiv. "Source materials" means any materials or machinery located at the facility and directly or indirectly related to process or other industrial activities which could be a source of pollutants in a stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity that is subject to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-11.5. Source materials include, but are not limited to: raw materials; intermediate products; final products; waste materials; by-products; industrial machinery and fuels; and lubricants, solvents, and detergents that are related to process or other industrial activities. Material or machinery that are not exposed to stormwater or that are not located at the facility are not "source

materials".

xv. "Stormwater" means stormwater runoff, snow melt runoff, surface runoff and drainage

xvi. "ug/L " means micrograms per liter.

xvii. "Multiple Grab Composite" or " Multi-Grab" means a combination of individual samples (aliquots) collected at a specified frequency over a specified time period. Each aliquot must be collected in a glass vial with a septum cap and iced until delivered for analysis. An air space should remain in the vial. Each aliquot shall be analyzed individually. The recorded value will be the flow proportioned average of the individual analyses for the specific time period.

xviii. "Maximum Value" means the highest value measured during the monitoring period.

xix. "Minimum Value" means the lowest value measured during the monitoring period.

xx. "DMR" means a Discharge Monitoring Report form prepared by the Department.

**V. Best Management Practices (BMP) Selection and Description**

The SPPP shall describe the BMPs used to prevent or minimize pollution from source

materials and areas of industria l activity. The permittee shall evaluate the information from the site assessment phase of this plan to iden tify potential and existing sources of stormwater contaminated by source material. All non-stormwater discharges to surface water and/or groundwater must be eliminated or permitted. The permittee shall design, implement

and maintain BMPs to meet design criteria and effluent limits specified in this permit. Based upon the site assessment performed, the permittee sha ll develop BMPs that will effectively eliminate or reduce pollutant loadings in stormwater discharges from the facility

# 3 in accordance with the following sections. Th e evaluation and selection of the BMPs shall address each area, and/or activity where source materials are exposed to stormwater discharging to surface water.

**A. Pollution Prevention**

All contact of source materials and industrial activitie s with stormwater shall be prevented and/or minimized. Each BMP that is used to minimize and/or prevent such contact shall be

identified and discussed in the SPPP.

**1. Diverting Stormwater**

Approved diversion of conta minated stormwater to eith er a domestic or industrial wastewater treatment plant may also be c onsidered when choosin g an appropriate BMP where feasible. (Diversion to groundwater may require additional Depa rtment approval, or modification to this permit. Contact the Bur eau of Nonpoint Pollution Control if a discharge to groundwater is being considered.)

**2. Good Housekeeping**

The SPPP must include a good housekeeping program to help maintain a clean and orderly work place. For certain activities or areas, cont act of source materials with stormwater may be prevented and/or minimized merely by using good housekeeping methods. The following are some simple procedures that a facility can consider incorporating into an effective good housekeeping program:

• 

# conduct cleanup immediately after di scovery of leaks and spills;

• 

# implement careful material storage practices;

• 

# improve operation and main tenance of industrial m achinery and processes;

• 

# maintain up-to-date material inventory;

• 

# maintain well organized work areas;

• 

# provide regular pickup and dis posal of waste materials;

• 

# maintain dry and clean floors and ground su rfaces by using brooms, shovels, vacuum cleaners, or cleaning machines; and

• 

# train employees about g ood housekeeping practices.

# 4 **3. Spill Prevention and Response**

Specific spill prevention and response procedures shall be developed. The procedures shall include material handling, st orage and equipment operation and maintenan ce requirements used to prevent and/or eliminate spills and/or leaks. A valid SPCC or DPCC shall satisfy this requirement provided the plan includes spill prevention/clea nup for all site chemicals,

wastewater and raw materials.

The permittee shall develop and implement a Spill Prevention Plan. At a minimum, the Plan

shall include:

- Spill Response Coordinator

- Procedures for preventing and/or cleaning up spills
