Subject: Submittal of Results from Water Quality Sampling of AOW S-12 and S-13 at Belews
Creek Steam Station
Dear Mr. Chernikov,
A contractor for Duke Energy collected water quality samples of S-12 and S-13 at Belews Creek
Steam Station on 20 January 2016, and the laboratory report containing the results of the water
quality sampling was received on 5 February 2016. Attached are the results of the water quality
sampling. The boron result suggests that the water from S-13 is not influenced by coal
combustion residuals. Due to the proximity of S-12 to the ash basin and due to the boron result,
the water from S-12 is influenced by coal combustion residuals and is likely from the ash basin.
Note: In our notification letter dated 08 January 2016, we mistakenly stated that S-12 is a
headwater of S-9 and would not require sampling. We also mistakenly stated that S-14 was to
be sampled. In fact, S-14 is a headwater of S-9 and did not require sampling, and S-12 was
appropriately sampled instead.
Should you have any questions regarding this submittal or require addition information, please
contact Ross Hartfield at 980-373-6583 or at [e-mail].
