Leak Patrol There were a total of 1,084 points checked. There were 6 new leaks detected. There were 7 leaks repaired with 1 leak remaining to be repaired from current and previous audits. C. There was no reportable VCM release during the month. D. There were no reactor openings above the standard during the month. IV. Environmental Water A. The highest level of VCM recorded for any of the process water sewers during the month was 0.04 PPM. The highest level of VCM in the storm sewers was 0.82 PPM and was recorded at No. 4 Outfall. B. There were no violations at No. 004 Outfall during the month. C. Wastewater Stripping There was one wastewater daily average above the standard this month. On 6/24/82, the average was 42.8 ppm.
