Request for Continued 316(a) Variance There have been no substantial changes in the conditions described in our request for a variance under Section 316(a). We request that the 316(a) variance and the alternative effluent limitations referenced in the current permit (VA0052452), Part I.C.12 be continued in the reissued permit. Waiver Requests It is our understanding that waivers granted by the DEQ for the last VPDES permit reissuance continue to apply provided there have been no significant changes at the power station. In accordance with Forms 2C, 2E and 2F instructions, requests previously approved are formally restated in our April 28, 2004 submittal. In addition, we make the following waiver requests. These items were discussed in a meeting on August 19, 2004 attended by Tom Faha, Christine Joyce, Arthur Cooke and Joyce Livingstone. * Dominion requests a waiver for dioxin sampling and analysis for all North Anna VPDES outfalls. * Dominion requests a waiver from conventional sampling and analysis for all storm water outfalls (Outfalls 022, 023, 024, 025, 026) because there is no industrial activity in the drainage areas associated with these outfalls. Elevated iron values are to be expected due to the iron-rich soil types around this area. The previous 2F application forms (2000) are submitted for these outfalls. Mr. Tom Faha June 28, 2005 Page 2 Outfall 103 - Request for Oil & Grease Monitoring Removal - Clarifier: Dominion requests that oil & grease monitoring be removed from internal Outfall 103 in the reissued permit because of the scarcity of laboratories set up to run the hexane method on samples with low levels of radioactivity. Our laboratory manager has advised us that EPA will mandate the hexane extraction method possibly as early as next year followed by a 4-month grace period. If DEQ would consider a substitute parameter, for example, Total Organic Carbon or Chemical Oxygen Demand, these are analyses that the current contract laboratory could perform. The current sampling frequency is quarterly, but we request this be reduced to an annual requirement. The only possible source of oil in the clarifier would be from the mat sump pumps. The mat sumps direct groundwater from around the base of the containment building to the clarifier discharge. There is a small air driven pump in each mat sump with an attached oiler. The only synthetic oil used on site (EHC and snubber fluid) is heavier than water and not a component of the clarifier discharge. The remainder of the discharge is service water, steam generator blowdown and ion-exchange discharge which should not have any oil in it. Outfall 105 -Bearing Cooling Tower - Representative Samples The bearing cooling tower is a closed cycle cooling system. The permanent chemical addition should be completed by the end of August. By mid-September, equilibrium "cycles of concentration" will be established for the system to include bleach, phosphate, zinc and bromine. Dominion expects that representative samples from this system would be attainable in September, and analyses would be available in October. Outfall 009 - Settling Pond - New Contributing Flow Outfall 009 may in the future include bearing cooling tower effluent during periods of maintenance work. This was authorized on a case by case basis in the past, but going we request that the bearing cooling tower effluent be included as an intermittent component of the Outfall 009 effluent. Outfall 111 - Sewage Treatment Plant All the small package plants are closed. Dominion requests approval to submit existing discharge monitoring data and new data for fecal coliforms, ammonia, and oil and grease. Form 2A requests three fecal coliform samples, however Dominion requests a reduction in sampling from three samples to one sample. Outfall 013 - Turbine Building Sump and Common Sump #2 & Storm Water Only Outfall 013 is the discharge for turbine sumps #1 and #2 (unit 1 and common). This outfall is covered in the existing permit, but this description is being added for clarification. Outfall 014 - Turbine Building Sump #2 & Storm Water Only It has been determined from station drawings that Outfall 014 does not release effluent from the Unit 2 (sump #3) high capacity turbine sump. This effluent discharges from Outfall 104, and the current permit describes the contributing flows for this outfall as turbine sump discharges. This pathway (Unit 2 high capacity discharge) has not discharged in over 15 years. There is no industrial discharge for Outfall 014, and we request it-be removed from the permit or redesignated as a stormii water outfall.
