Subject:Cliffside Unit 5 Switchyard
Ted,
As previously discussed on 3/27/17, ash was discovered beneath the Unit 5 switchyard at Cliffside. The switchyard is
located across the Broad River from Unit 5 and the Unit 5 Inactive Ash Basin near the previously identified ash discovery
areas. Four locations within the switchyard footprint were investigated further to an average depth of 11 inches. All
four locations appeared to be ash. A very rough estimate of the total switchyard footprint area using Google Earth is
approximately 356,212 square feet. The previously discovered ash areas west of the switchyard were determined to be
approximately 59,751 square feet. The switchyard is estimated to have been constructed in the early 1970s prior to Unit
5 beginning operation in 1972, but that is not certain at this time.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need further information.
Thanks,
