In accordance with your request of November 28, 2012, the Division hereby transfers the subject
Certificates of Coverage (CoCs) to discharge under NCG500000. We apologize for the delay in
processing your request. While we did receive and process the previous change of ownership to
BAIS US Renewable Power Holdings, LLC, your firm's request was not received until you re-
submitted it to Mr. Kevin Bowden of our staff. This action is taken pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina's General Statue 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated July 17, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this General
Permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an
individual NPDES permit application. Unless such demand is made, this CoC shall be final and
binding.
Please note that each CoC is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may modify, or revoke and reissue this CoC. This issuance does not affect your legal obligations
to obtain any other Federal, State, or Local government permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Charles H. Weaver at telephone
number [phone] or via email ([e-mail]).

Santeetlah
The Santeetlah hydroelectric facility operates an air-cooled system. Stormwater and reservoir
water seepage into the Powerhouse is directed to a sump located in the Powerhouse
Basement. Treatment prior to discharge consists of oil and grease removal by floatation and
skimming.
All drains within the Santeetlah Facility (with the exception of the Oil Room) are routed to two
4,400 gallon sumps located in the basement of the Powerhouse. A transfer pump removes
storm water that collects in the downstream sump to the river. An automatic level control
system operates the pump. The upstream pump is a manual water jet pump. Any floating oils
and grease collected in the sump are removed by skimming and placed in a drum.
Transformer Banks Nos. 1 and 2 located on either side of the Powerhouse, and the OCB vessels
and station service transformers located behind the Powerhouse are diked and equipped with a
drainage system. This system has a manually operated gate valve that is kept closed except to
drain rainwater.
Process Water
Non -contact cooling water from Transformer Banks 1 and 2 and from the generator bearings is
discharged directly to the Little Tennessee River by-passing the basement sumps.

Santieetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 March 2007
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's)
North Carolina General Permit
Certificate of Coverage - NCG500050
Santeetlah Powerhouse
Receiving Stream
The Little Tennessee River is classified as Class C - Trout waters which means that the
more stringent monitoring requirements contained in the permit are in effect.
Treatment System
The only treatment system is the oil skimmer at the sump.
The permit states that, "THERE SHALL BE NO CHROMIUM, ZINC, OR COPPER
ADDED TO THE DISCHARGE EXCEPT AS PRE -APPROVED ADDITIVES TO
BIOCIDAL COMPOUNDS." Additionally, the permits require authorization prior to
use of biocides. A ninety (90) day notification prior to use is required. Additional
paperwork, Biocide Worksheet 101, the MSDS, and a map, must be submitted, also.
Effluent Monitoring and Limitations
All outfalls are to be numbered serially, beginning with 001, by the permittee. Tapoco
should describe and number the outfalls in order to ensure that monitoring and results are
conducted and maintained properly.
A(1) Requirements are either captured under A(2), flow and temperature, or not
applicable, total residual chlorine (TRC) and oil & grease.
A(2) Once -through Cooling Water from Hydroelectric Facilities
1

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 March 2007
1. Flow must be measured semi-annually (2/year) on the effluent. The sample type is
"estimate." Tapoco retained Dennis Weeter Associates to develop SOP's for flow
measurement methods at all of the outfalls at its powerhouses. These flow SOP's
should be used for flow monitoring and reporting.
2. Temperature samples are to be semi-annual (2/year), effluent "grabs". A footnote at
the bottom of the limits page states that both the monthly average and daily maximum
limits for trout waters classification are:
0.5°C above the natural water temperature
Receiving water temperature shall not exceed a maximum of 20°C for trout
waters.'
These statements imply that TAPOCO should determine what the natural
water temperatures are and check the downstream temperatures on the
same date as effluent sampling. Although streams samples are not a reporting
requirement, TAPOCO should keep files for the data.
Stream samples should be collected at mid -channel and mid -depth. The downstream
sample should be collected at a point where the effluent is mixed with the receiving
stream. The sites should be investigated and designated as sampling points.
A statement at the bottom of the page gives a pH range of 6 - 9 standard units. This
statement implies that TAPOCO should be periodically checking the pH of the
outfalls. Although no frequency is stated, TAPOCO should check the pH at the
same frequency, semi-annually, as the other permit parameters.
4. "There shall be no floating solids or visible foam (other than trace amounts) in the
effluent." The "trace amounts" requirement is very subjective and can vary from
inspector to inspector.
A(3) Sumps and Drains
1. Flow must be measured quarterly (4/year) on the effluent. The sample type is
"estimate." The flow SOP's should be used for flow monitoring and reporting.
2. Oil and grease samples must be collected quarterly (4/year) on the effluent. The
sample type is "grab." Limits are established at 15 mg/L for the monthly average and
20 mg/L for the daily maximum.
Footnote 1 requires visual inspection of the tailrace for oil sheens after lubrication
operations.

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 March 2007
A statement at the bottom of the page gives a pH range of 6 - 9 standard units. This
statement implies that TAPOCO should be periodically checking the pH of the
outfalls. Although no frequency is stated, TAPOCO should check the pH at the
same frequency, semi-annually, as the other permit parameters.
4. Chemical cleaning of the wheel pit is permitted monthly, but only with preapproved
solvents. Any changes to the cleaner(s) must be approved. The tailrace must be
inspected for foam or oil sheens. May not be applicable to Tapoco.
5. Mechanical cleaning which does not generate a discharge does not require permitting.
6. "There shall be no floating solids or visible foam (other than trace amounts) in the
effluent."
Si ng_ atojy Requirements
Any documentation, such as reports, applications, or information, which are submitted to
a regulatory authority must be signed and certified by a responsible corporate officer or a
duly authorized representative. In TAPOCO's case, a responsible corporate official
would be the current Vice-president of Alcoa Power Generation Inc. Applications
must be signed by a responsible corporate officer. Reports and other information may be
signed by an authorized representative if:
The authorization is made in writing by a responsible corporate officer and submitted
to the appropriate regulatory agency.
2. The authorization specifies either an individual or a position having responsibility for
overall operation, such as the plant manager, superintendent, or overall responsibility
for environmental matters for the company. Concurrence should be obtained from
corporate legal staff prior to enacting the delegation.
Any applications, reports, or other information (including cover letters containing data
which might be used in determining compliance with water quality laws) should contain
the following certification language which applies to the signee:
U certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were
prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system
designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the
information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who
manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the
information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and
belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant
3

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 March 2007
penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and
imprisonment for knowing violations. "
Certified Operator
North Carolina law, Chapter 90A-44, requires that a certified operator be in responsible
charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. It is recommended that a certified operator
or laboratory personnel conduct the testing required by the permit. TAPOCO should
require that its operator or laboratory provide proof of existing certification and any
additional training. A file which contains such documentation should be established and
maintained in the TAPOCO file system.
Monitoring and Records
The general permits do not have requirements for submittal of monitoring data.
Monitoring results should be maintained on file in the TAPOCO file system for future
compliance review.
2. If flow measurement devices are installed at the discharges, the flow devices are
expected to have a deviation of <10% of the true discharge rates throughout the range
of expected discharge volumes. Routine calibrations according to the manufacturer's
instructions should be conducted, and the calibration records should be maintained in
a bound, log book.
As stated previously, documented good engineering practices may be used to estimate
flow values.
3. Records are to be kept a minimum of three (3) years. This includes strip charts, all
calibration and maintenance records, log books, and copies of all reports. A corporate
ALCOA memo indicated that the records should be maintained indefinitely.
Recording Results
For each sample or measurement, the following information must be recorded and
retained by TAPOCO:
4

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 March 2007
1. Location, date and time of sample collection;
2. Name of sampler;
3. Analysis(es) date(s);
4. Name of analyst;
5. Analytical method (usually a number); and
6. Analytical results
TAPOCO and the contractor responsible for sampling should develop a field sheet for
each sampling location that would provide the information required in items 1 and 2
above or items lthrough 6 above, if tests are performed in the field. TAPOCO and its
contract laboratory, if such is used, should review and/or develop an analytical
certificate that provides the information required in items 3 through 6 above for analyzed
performed in the laboratory. Both the field sheet and the analytical certificate should be
retained in TAPOCO's file system.
Additional Monitoring
It is recommended that TAPOCO record any additional monitoring and maintain the
information in its file system.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
At a minimum, every tenth sample should be duplicated. This includes both field and
laboratory testing. Duplicates should be treated as separate, individual samples and
included as such in any calculations and frequency of analyses.
TAPOCO should ensure that the laboratory, if appropriate, performing the analyses is
conducting and documenting its own QA/QC program. A good QA/QC program ensures
reproducibility of results and confidence in the accuracy of the results which are used to
report compliance. If the laboratory does not have a QA/QC program, TAPOCO should
change laboratories.
North Carolina requires the use of certified laboratories for most analyses. pH and TRC-
do not currently require certification if done in-house, although all tests will fall under
certification requirements in July 1995. Documentation of certification should be
maintained in the TAPOCO files. It is recommended that TAPOCO continue to use a
laboratory that has certification. TAPOCO is ultimately responsible for the accuracy
of the data it reports.
Calibration

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 March 2007
Field instruments, such as pH, temperature, and flow meters, should have
individual log books which contain equipment calibration records. TAPOCO should
ensure that the calibrations are performed according to the frequency suggested by the
manufacturer as a minimum requirement. Laboratory instruments should have similar
records. If not, TAPOCO should review its use of the laboratory. All records should be
available upon request for review. If the field and laboratory records are maintained at
the contractor's offices, TAPOCO should obtain all records rather than allow them to be
discarded at the end of the minimum three (3) years.
Log Books
Log books should be bound books, not loose leaf binders or folders. Entries into field
books should be written in ink.
Corrections
Corrections should be made with a single line through the error. The initials of the
person making the correction and the date of correction should be written above the
correction. DO NOT USE WHITE OUT OR DRAW MANY LINES THROUGH
THE ERROR.
Sampling Protocols
Temperature, pH, and flow measurements are to be made in the field. A temperature
reading should be taken immediately. pH readings should be obtained within fifteen (15)
minutes of sample collection. Samples involved in transport should be tagged and
properly labeled with all of the field data included. Chain of custody forms are required
if the sampler and laboratory are different.
As a management system, TAPOCO is currently analyzing oil and grease samples from
various discharges. The samples should be collected in glass containers as "grabs." The
samples must be preserved with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to <2 standard units and
transported to the laboratory at 4°C (397). The holding time is 28 days.
Noncompliance Reporting
6

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 March 2007
The following must be reported orally within 24 hours of awareness to North Carolina,
Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM): 1) a bypass, 2) an upset, and 3) a
violation of a daily maximum permit limit.
A written submission to NCDEM must follow within five (5) days of becoming aware
of the noncompliance.
NCDEM, Asheville Regional Field Office: 704-251-6208
It is recommended that TAPOCO designate an individual to report instances of
noncompliance. An effort must be made to ensure that the sampler, the laboratory, and
TAPOCO personnel understand the reporting requirements and act in a timely fashion.
Additional Suggestions_
TAPOCO should require sampling personnel to develop and maintain a sampling log
book which is specific for TAPOCO. This field book should be used to document
sampling, calibration of instruments, and note unusual occurrences. When the log
book is full, the book should be given to TAPOCO and maintained in its files.
2. TAPOCO should develop a computerized, historical data base for each permitted
parameter. ALCOA has developed spreadsheets and "control" charts which could be
used.
3. TAPOCO should require the certified operator and laboratory to develop SOP's
specific for TAPOCO sampling locations and permit parameters. The SOP's should
include instrument calibration techniques and analytical procedures.

Flow must be measured semi-annually (2/year) on the effluent. The sample type is
"estimate. Tapoco retained Dennis Weeter Associates to develop SOP's for flow
measurement methods at all of the outfalls at its powerhouses. These flow SOP's
should be used for flow monitoring and reporting.
2. Temperature samples are to be semi-annual (2/year), effluent "grabs". A footnote at
the bottomof the limits page states that both the monthly average and daily maximum
limits for trout waters classification are:
0.5°C above the natural water temperature
Receiving water temperature shall not exceed a maximum of 20°C for trout
waters.
These statements imply that TAPOCO should determine what the natural
water temperatures are and check the downstream temperatures on the
same date as effluent sampling. Although streams samples are not a reporting
requirement, TAPOCO should keep files for the data.
Stream samples should be collected at mid -channel and mid -depth. The downstream
sample should be collected at a point where the effluent is mixed with the receiving
stream. The sites should be investigated and designated as sampling points.
A statement at the bottom of the page gives a pH range of 6 - 9 standard units. This
statement implies that TAPOCO should be periodically checking the pH of the
outfalls. Although no frequency is stated, TAPOCO should check the pH at the
same frequency, semi-annually, as the other permit parameters.
4. "There shall be no floating solids or visible foam (other than trace amounts) in the
effluent." The "trace amounts" requirement is very subjective and can vary from
inspector to inspector.
A(3) Sumps and Drains
Flow must be measured quarterly (4/year) on the effluent. The sample type is
"estimate." The flow SOP's should be used for flow monitoring and reporting.
2. Oil and grease samples must be collected quarterly (4/year) on the effluent. The
sample type is "grab." Limits are established at 15 mg/L for the monthly average and
20 mg/L for the daily maximum.
2

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 August 1997
Footnote 1 requires visual inspection of the tailrace for oil sheens after lubrication
operations.
3. A statement at the bottom of the page gives a pH range of 6 - 9 standard units. This
statement implies that TAPOCO should be periodically checking the pH of the
outfalls. Although no frequency is stated, TAPOCO should check the pH at the
same frequency, semi-annually, as the other permit parameters.
4. Chemical cleaning of the wheel pit is permitted monthly, but only with preapproved
solvents. Any changes to the cleaner(s) must be approved. The tailrace must be
inspected for foam or oil sheens. May not be applicable to Tapoco.
5. Mechanical cleaning which does not generate a discharge does not require permitting.
6. "There shall be no floating solids or visible foam (other than trace amounts) in the
effluent."
Signatory Requirements
Any documentation, such as reports, applications, or information, which are submitted to
a regulatory authority must be signed and certified by a responsible corporate officer or a
duly authorized representative. In TAPOCO's case, a responsible corporate official
would be Joe Adams, President, or Julian Polk, Vice-president. Applications must be
signed by a responsible corporate officer. Reports and other information may be signed
by an authorized representative if:
The authorization is made in writing by a responsible corporate officer and submitted
to the appropriate regulatory agency.
2. The authorization specifies either an individual or a position having responsiblity for
overall operation, such as the plant manager, superintendent, or overall responsibility
for environmental matters for the company. Concurrence should be obtained from
corporate legal staff prior to enacting the delegation.
Any applications, reports, or other information (including cover letters containing data
which might be used in determining compliance with water quality laws) should contain
the following certification language which applies to the signee:
7 certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were
prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system
designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the
information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who
manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the
3

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 August 1997
information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and
belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant
penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and
imprisonment for knowing violations. "
Currently, all documents are signed by Mr. Julian Polk.
Certified Operator
North Carolina law, Chapter 90A-44, requires that a certified operator be in responsible
charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. It is recommended that a certified operator
or laboratory personnel conduct the testing required by the permit. TAPOCO should
require that its operator or laboratory provide proof of existing certification and any
additional training. A file which contains such documentation should be established and
maintained in the TAPOCO file system.
Monitoring and Records
1. The general permits do not have requirements for submittal of monitoring data.
Monitoring results should be maintained on file in the TAPOCO file system for future
compliance review.
2. If flow measurement devices are installed at the discharges, the flow devices are
expected to have a deviation of <10% of the true discharge rates throughout the range
of expected discharge volumes. Routine calibrations according to the manufacturer's
instructions should be conducted, and the calibration records should be maintained in
a bound, log book.
As stated previously, documented good engineering practices may be used to estimate
flow values.
3. Records are to be kept a minimum of three (3) years. This includes strip charts, all
calibration and maintenance records, log books, and copies of all reports. A corporate
ALCOA memo indicated that the records should be maintained indefinitely.
RecordingResults
esults
For each sample or measurement, the following information must be recorded and
retained by TAPOCO:
1. Location, date and time of sample collection;
4

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 August 1997
2. Name of sampler;
3. Analysis(es) date(s);
4. Name of analyst;
5. Analytical method (usually a number); and
6. Analytical results
TAPOCO and the contractor responsible for sampling should develop a field sheet for
each sampling location that would provide the information required in items 1 and 2
above or items lthrough 6 above, if tests are performed in the field. TAPOCO and its
contract laboratory, if such is used, should review and/or develop an analytical
certificate that provides the information required in items 3 through 6 above for analysed
performed in the laboratory. Both the field sheet and the analytical certificate should be
retained in TAPOCO's file system.
Additional Monitorin
ALCOA reports any additional sampling, other than those specifically named and limited,''
as an attachment to the cover letter submitted with the monthly Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMR's). More frequent analyses of permitted pollutants are reported on the
DMR's. It is recommended that TAPOCO record any additional monitoring and maintain''
the information in its file system.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
At a minimum, every tenth sample should be duplicated. This includes both field and
laboratory testing. Duplicates should be treated as separate, individual samples and
included as such in any calculations and frequency of analyses.
TAPOCO should ensure that the laboratory, if appropriate, performing the analyses is
conducting and documenting its own QA/QC program. A good QA/QC program ensures
reproducibility of results and confidence in the accuracy of the results which are used to
report compliance. If the laboratory does not have a QA/QC program, TAPOCO should
change laboratories.
North Carolina requires the use of certified laboratories for most analyses. pH and TRC
do not currently require certification if done in-house, although all tests will fall under
certification requirements in July 1995. Documentation of certification should be
maintained in the TAPOCO files. It is recommended that TAPOCO continue to use a
laboratory that has certification. TAPOCO is ultimately responsible for the accuracy
of the data it reports.
Calibration
5

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 August 1997
Field instruments, such as pH, temperature, and flow meters, should have
individual log books which contain equipment calibration records. TAPOCO should
ensure that the calibrations are performed according to the frequency suggested by the
manufacturer as a minimum requirement. Laboratory instruments should have similar
records. If not, TAPOCO should review its use of the laboratory. All records should be
available upon request for review. If the field and laboratory records are maintained at
the contractor's offices, TAPOCO should obtain all records rather than.allow them to be
discarded at the end of the minimum three (3) years.
Log Books
Log books should be bound books, not loose leaf binders or folders. Entries into field
books should be written in ink.
Corrections
Corrections should be made with a single line through the error. The initials of the
person making the correction and the date of correction should be written above the
correction. DO NOT USE WHITE OUT OR DRAW MANY LINES THROUGH
THE ERROR.
Sampling Protocols
Temperature, pH, and flow measurements are to be made in the field. A temperature
reading should be taken immediately. pH readings should be obtained within fifteen (15)
minutes of sample collection. Samples involved in transport should be tagged and
properly labelled with all of the field data included. Chain of custody forms are required
if the sampler and laboratory are different.
As a management system, TAPOCO is currently analyzing oil and grease samples from
various discharges. The samples should be collected in glass containers as "grabs." The
samples must be preserved with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to <2 standard units and
transported to the laboratory at 4°C (397). The holding time is 28 days.
Noncompliance Reporting
The following must be reported orally within 24 hours of awareness to North Carolina,
Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM): 1) a bypass, 2) an upset, and 3) a
violation of a daily maximum permit limit.
re

Santeetlah Powerhouse NCG500050 August 1997
A written submission to NCDEM must follow within five (5) days of becoming aware
of the noncompliance.
NCDEM, Asheville Regional Field Office: 704-251-6208
It is recommended that TAPOCO designate an individual to report instances of
noncompliance. An effort must be made to ensure that the sampler, the laboratory, and
TAPOCO personnel understand the reporting requirements and act in a timely fashion.
Additional Sug es� tions
1. TAPOCO should require sampling personnel to develop and maintain a sampling log
book which is specific for TAPOCO. This field book should be used to document
sampling, calibration of instruments, and note unusual occurrences. When the log
book is full, the book should be given to TAPOCO and maintained in its files.
2. TAPOCO should develop a computerized, historical data base for each permitted
parameter. ALCOA has developed spreadsheets and "control" charts which could be
used.
3. TAPOCO should require the certified operator and laboratory to develop SOP's
specific for TAPOCO sampling locations and permit parameters. The SOP's should
include instrument calibration techniques and analytical procedures.

Subject: NPDES Permit NCG5OOOOO renewal
Certificate of Coverage (CoC) NCG50OO5O
Santeelah Powerhouse
Graham County
Dear Permittee:
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG5OOOOO. NCG5OOOOO expires
on July 31, 2007. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.O1O5(e)) regulations require
that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed a renewal request, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1.2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. This renewal notice is being sent
well in advance of the due date so that you have adequate time to prepare your application.
If any discharge previously covered under NCG5OOOOO will occur after July 31, 2007, the
CoC must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If all discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this CoC [or if you have other
questions], contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.

Mr. Frost:
As we discussed this afternoon, TAPOCO needs to cut a slot (expansion joint
purpose) in the Santeetlah dam in Graham County. The anticipated project
start date is January 15. The project duration is through February 28.
This is very similar to the project you approved for the other side of the
dam in January 2001.
The slurry processing capacity of the slurry control system is based on the
number of troughs. At Santeetlah, we will have a 3-trough system. With the
3 troughs, the system can handle about 40 gpm under normal conditions. The
Contractor will introduce lake water at the rate of 5 gpm to act as a
lubricant for the cutting. In addition, there will be dam leakage
associated with this portion of the dam.
The attached files contain a brief description of the slurry control system,
a photo, a site plan sketch, and a flow chart of the system. Please review
these procedures and provide us with any regulatory requirements for this
project.

The Slurry Control System
Construction services will be performed at Santeetlah Dam, which involve the cutting of a slot in
the concrete of the right abutment. The cured concrete that was placed many decades ago will be
cut with a wire that has diamond -impregnated beads on it. These beads will cut (grind and
pulverize) the concrete. Water is used as a lubricant for this process. During the cutting process
a slurry will result from the mixing of the water and the pulverized concrete. This slurry water
will be collected, piped and treated with a three tank slurry collection system prior to its release
into the reservoir.
The three tank slurry collection system works in following manner. The collected slurry water is
piped to a trough (tank) which contains seep holes to which filter bags are attached. The water
will pass through the bags and the slurry will be captured inside the bags. Beneath the trough is
a basin to collect the water and any slurry that may have passed through the bags. This water
will be circulated back into the tank collection system. At the far end of the trough is an
overflow which allows the water to flow into the next trough, in the series of the 3 troughs,
where the water is again processed in the same manner. Overflow from the second trough flows
to the third trough for additional processing. The effluent from the third trough, which will be
clean water, will be piped to the reservoir. The discharge end of the pipe will be at least 20 feet
below the water level.
The Site Plan drawing shows the location of the troughs on the right abutment. The Conceptual
Layout drawing shows the flow logic of the system.
Below is a photo of the 3 trough system showing the white filter bags hanging from the troughs,
the overflow pipes between the tops of the troughs, and the containment/settling basin for each
trough. The photo was taken at the Contractor's facility. The system will be set-up at Santeetlah
Dam in a similar manner.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for wastewater discharge under General Permit NCG500000. This permit expires
on July 31, 2002. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff is in the process of rewriting this permit with a
scheduled reissue in the summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for continued
coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the DWQ for renewal of
your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit
coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a general permit coverage renewal application form. This
will serve as your application for renewal of your permit coverage. The application must be completed and -
returned with the required information by February 01, 2002 in order to assure continued coverage under the
general permit. There is no renewal fee associated with this process. Your facility will be invoiced for the annual
permit fee at a later date.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of wastewater from your facility
without coverage under a valid wastewater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
If the subject wastewater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
rescission request form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit coverage renewal procedures please contact the Asheville Regional
Office at 828-251-6208 or Delonda Alexander of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext. 584

Mr. Frost,
As we discussed this morning, TAPOCO needs to cut a slot (expansion joint
purpose) in the Santeetlah dam. The anticipated project start date is the
week of January 22. The project duration is estimated at 3 months. Lake
water will be used as a lubricant during the cutting of the concrete, which
will result in a concrete slurry. TAPOCO has designed a slurry treatment
process for your review. As designed, the treated water will be returned to
the lake.
I have attached 3 files, which contain a schematic of the dam, a wastewater
flow chart, and a written description with a digital photo of the slurry,
treatment system proposed for use. Please review these procedures and
provide us with any regulatory requirements for this project.

RE: Oil & Grease Excursions - Tapoco, Inc. - Graham County
Santeetlah Powerhouse - General Permit # NC500050
Cheoah Powerhouse - Permit # NC500049
Dear Mr. Haynes:
At approximately 4:35 p.m. on 1998 August 12, two (2) daily maximum excursions were
discovered while inputting monitoring data into our tracking system. A 1998 January 30
oil and grease sample collected from the Cheoah station sump (outfall 004) yielded a result
of 23.9 mg/L. A 1998 April 30 oil and grease sample collected from the Santeetlah station
sump (outfall 003) yielded a result of 20.1 mg/L. The daily maximum limit for both
locations is 20 mg/L.
At Cheoah, samples collected in 1997 October, 1998 May, and 1998 July yielded results
of 9.9, 13.4, and 3.6 mg/L, respectively. At Santeetlah, samples collected in 1997
October, 1998 January, and 1998 July yielded results of 8.2, 6.2, and 8.9 mg/L,
respectively. The data indicates an intermittent, rather than chronic, release of oil and
grease.
Mr. Mark Browning, Environmental Affairs, ALCOA-Tennessee Operations, reported and
discussed the excursions with Mr. Forrest Westall and yourself during the afternoon of
August 13. The requirement for verbal notification within 24 hours of becoming aware of
the excursions was met. You waived the 5 day written submission requirement, because
the excursions were not a significant threat to health or the environment. You required
instead this follow-up letter to document the events and outline corrective actions.

Mr. Haynes
1998-08-18
Page 2
Tapoco, Inc. is investigating the causes of the excursions. Oil skimmer operation and
maintenance procedures at both station sumps will be reviewed and modified if necessary.
The existing sump pumps have oil -lubricated bearings. Replacement by sump pumps with
oil -less bearings will be investigated and implemented if feasible.
Tapoco, Inc. will develop and implement Standard Operating Procedures (SDP's) to
ensure that all monitoring data is reviewed in a timely fashion. Environmental Affairs
personnel from ALCOA-Tennessee Operations will assist with compliance issues.
Thank you for you assistance with this issue. If you need further information, please call
Mark Browning at [phone].

INTRODUCTION
This Release Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (RPCC) Plan has been
prepared for Alcoa Power Generating Inc., Tapoco Division (APGI-Tapoco), The
Santeetlah Power Facility (Santeetlah) in accordance with federal and the state of
Tennessee regulations regarding release prevention and control.
This plan is designed to provide the controls and procedures necessary to minimize
hazards to human health and the environment from fires, explosions, and releases of
toxic and hazardous substances to the air, soil, surface waters, and groundwater.
This plan incorporates, where applicable, the pollution prevention, spill control and
countermeasures, and emergency planningand response provisions required by the
following regulations:
• Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) requirements for oils
under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and for PCBs under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA)
• Contingency Plan requirements for hazardous wastes under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
• Emergency Response requirements for hazardous and toxic substances
under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
• Storm water Pollution Prevention (SWPP) and Best Management Practices
requirements under the CWA
• Release Prevention and Emergency Response requirements of the
Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (HMTA)
• Emergency Action Plan and Emergency Response Plan (HAZWOPER)
requirements Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Facility Response Plan requirements
under the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) amendments to the CWA
• US Coast Guard Facility Response Plan requirements for marine
transportation -related facilities handling oil under the OPA amendments to
the CWA
• Minerals Management Service (MMS) Facility Response Plan requirements
for oil handling facilities under the OPA amendments to the CWA
• Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) Pipeline Response
Plan requirements for oil pipelines under the OPA amendments to the CWA
• Emergency Planning and Response requirements of the Chemical Process
Safety Management Standard under OSHA
• Emergency Response Program requirements for chemical accidental release
prevention under the Clean Air Act (CAA) amendments § 112(r).
General Duty Clause requirements for operating and maintaining a safe
facility under the Clean Air Act (CAA) amendments §112(r).
This plan was also prepared within the spirit of the National Response Team's
Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance in a format intended to provide a highly

functional document for use in various emergency situations while providing a
mechanism for complying with the multiple agency requirements listed above.
The RPCC Plan begins with a Regulatory Correlation Table which provides a listing of
the various Federal regulatory citations for emergency response and planning
requirements. The table cross references sections in the Outline and this Plan which
address each of the regulatory requirements, applicable to this facility. This table is
intended to assist plant personnel in determining if specific planning requirements are
applicable to their facility, and to assist Agency inspectors in assessing compliance with
the various regulations. The National Response Team does not require a
standardized emergency response plan format as long as a cross reference to
applicable regulatory requirements is provided.
The next section, Emergency Response Action Plan (ERAP) is the core of the RPCC
Plan. It contains only the essential steps necessary to initiate, conduct, and conclude
an emergency response action: recognition of the emergency, notification of the
appropriate people/agencies, and initial response measures including assessment,
mobilization, and implementation of the proper procedures to prevent or minimize risks
to health or the environment. The ERAP is a separately tabbed section that locations
are advised to copy and keep in a separate binder for quick access by the Emergency
Response Coordinator and other appropriate spill response personnel.
The rest of this document contains key supporting information for conducting
preventative actions, and emergency response procedures to be followed in the event
of an emergency. It also contains information necessary to document compliance with
all of the location applicable regulatory requirements identified in the Regulatory
Correlation Table. Designated employees of APGI-Tapoco's Santeetlah Facility are
familiar with the contents of this plan, and are trained to carry out the necessary
procedures either as a location team or in concert with Alcoa, Inc. -Tennessee Works,
Graham County Fire Department, Graham County Emergency Management Agency,
North Carolina Emergency Management Agency, North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management, US EPA Region IV, National Response Center, and
HEPACO, Inc.
The revisions to the oil spill regulations, effective July 2002, received another
extension. EPA published the extension in the Federal Register on 2004
August 11, volume 69, number 154, pages 48794-48799. The new compliance
dates are:
Amend SPCC Plan 2006 February 17

B. Discovery and Alert Procedures: If a minor leak, spill, release or fire occurs, the
individual discovering the incident should attempt to locate and eliminate the source. If
possible, he should try to stop or at least contain the release. This can involve closing
valves, turning drums upright, activating emergency pumps, using adsorbent materials,
or extinguishing the fire. Caution is advised here as these measures should only be
undertaken if they can be accomplished without any risk both to the individual, as well
as other employees in the vicinity. The discoverer should respond to the situation
based on his/her knowledge, and the level of training as well as an assessment of the
situation that the initial response will not make the situation worse. If the source is not
immediately obvious or if these measures are not effective and the situation is beyond
his control, then the discoverer should initiate the following emergency procedures:
1. The discoverer of a spill should first contact Alcoa, Inc. — Tennessee
Operations APGI-TapocoNadkin Dispatcher at 865-977-3322 who has
been designated as the "emergency dispatcher." The emergency
dispatcher will make sure that an Emergency Response Coordinator is
contacted.
2. Pass along the following information:
a. Exact location of the emergency event
b. Type and description of the emergency
c. Estimate of the amount of material released, or the size of the fire
d. Extent of injury or property damage incurred
e. Extent of the actual and potential environmental damage
f. Remedial action taken, if any

B. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
1. LOCATION
The Santeetlah Facilities are owned by Alcoa Power Generating Inc.-Tapoco
Division which is headquartered in Alcoa, TN. APGI-Tapoco is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Alcoa, Inc.
The Santeetlah Power Facility is located on the south bank of the Little
Tennessee River, near river mile 56.7, (see Figure 1, USGS Site Map in
Appendix H). The facility is located approximately 7 miles from Robbinsville,
NC, bordered on the southwest by mountains, on the north by the Little
Tennessee River, and on the east by wooded terrain.
The Santeetlah Dam forms Santeetlah Lake at mile marker 9.3 on the
Cheoah River. Discharge from the dam is to the Cheoah River which
discharges into the Little Tennessee River at mile marker 51.3. A
hydroelectric tunnel runs approximately miles to the Powerhouse which is
located at mile marker 56.7 on Cheoah Lake — Little Tennessee River.
Powerhouse discharge is to Cheoah Lake which is upstream of Cheoah
Dam, located on the Little Tennessee River at mile 51.6. Santeetlah Dam is
the last facility of a four dam system running from Eastern Tennessee to
Western North Carolina. The three other facilities include Cheoah Dam, also
located in North Carolina, and Chilhowee and Calderwood Dams, both
located in Tennessee.
The general characteristics for the topography at the Santeetlah facility
include rugged terrain with heavily forested slopes, rushing streams and
waterfalls Elevation ranges from 1,200 MSL in the valley to 6,600 MSL at
the peaks.
From March through August, the prevailing wind direction is NE and from
September through February, the prevailing wind direction is SW. A wind
rose representing climatological data for Santeetlah is shown on Figure 2 in
Appendix H. The western North Carolina climate is influenced primarily by
storms that pass along the Gulf Coast and thence up the Atlantic Coast, and
to a lesser extent by those that pass north eastward from Oklahoma to
Maine.
The mean annual temperature of western North Carolina is between 570 and
58°F. July is the hottest month and January is the coldest.
Rainfall is well distributed throughout the year. The wettest months are
January, February, and March. The average yearly rainfall for western North
Carolina is 57.5" but precipitation in excess of 80" has been recorded on
some mountain tops along the Tennessee - North Carolina border.

RPCC for APGI-TAPOCO/SANTEETLAH NC
2. GEOLOGY AND GROUNDWATER
The Santeetlah Powerhouse is located in the Blue Ridge region of western
North Carolina. Bedrock that underlie this region is likely Precambrian in age
and belongs to the Ocoee Series of sedimentary rocks, consisting of shale,
siltstone, sandstone, slate, graywacke, and conglomerate. The occurrence of
water in rocks of the Ocoee series is restricted to fractures formed by joints
and cleavage. Most wells obtain a significant amount of groundwater at the
residuum - bedrock interface. In western North Carolina, unconsolidated
sediments such as gravel, sand, silt, clay, and a mixture of these materials
are found.
Groundwater at the Santeetlah Facility moves in a predominantly northern
direction towards the Little Tennessee River.
This facility is not located in, nor does it drain into a wellhead protection area,
as defined in the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
The major drainage tributary is the Little Tennessee River which is shown on
Figure 1, Appendix H. The Little Tennessee River is classified for fish and
aquatic life, recreation, livestock and wildlife watering, irrigation, and
domestic/industrial water supply.
The closest water intakeis the Tellico Reservoir Development Agency
located approximately 37.7 river miles downstream from Santeetlah Dam.
Release potentials are low for all hazardous materials, hazardous wastes and
oils stored under roof or self-contained at the Santeetlah Facility. However,
there is a high risk potential of water contamination with the non -secondarily
contained lubricating system on the By -Pass Gates at the Dam. Also, the oil -
filled equipment in the non -secondarily contained Switchyard area, located
west of the Powerhouse, is considered a high risk potential for a spill/release
to the soil and water.
The Contingency Plan is presented in Section IV and is designed to minimize
hazards to human health and the environment from any unplanned sudden or
non -sudden release of oil or hazardous substances or hazardous waste
constituents to surface or ground water.
Section IV covers the emergency response personnel, contractors, and
agencies who would respond to a release; communication and alarm
systems available in the event of a release; and also lists the on -site
emergency equipment available.

RPCC for APGI-TAPOCO/SANTEETLAH NC
3. PRODUCTION PROCESSES
The Santeetlah facility is engaged in hydroelectric generation of electricity.
The dam was completed in 1928 and handles a drainage area of 176 square
miles. The dam is located 5 miles from the Powerhouse and is connected by
a hydroelectric tunnel. This tunnel provides mechanical energy (water
pressure) which is converted to electrical energy by two generators. An
average of 188,500,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually is provided to
Alcoa, Inc. - Tennessee Operations, located in Alcoa, TN.
Some oils are stored on site in tanks. Oil filled equipment, transformers and
circuit breakers are also located on site. See Table II-1 in Section II for the
contents and location of all oil -filled vessels. The facility first started storing
oil in 1928.
Santeetlah is an unmanned, fully automated facility. Cheoah personnel
provide necessary operation and maintenance assistance to the Santeetlah
facility. Santeetlah is located southeast of the Cheoah facility and takes
approximately 30 minutes to reach by automobile.
4. WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
The Santeetlah Power Facility has a general NPDES permit to discharge
non -contact cooling water from the generator bearings and non -process
water from the Station Sump into the Little Tennessee River. The NPDES
Permit number for the Santeetlah Powerhouse is NCG500049. Switching to
air-cooled systems eliminated the cooling water discharges from Transformer
Banks Nos. 1 and 2. Table 1-1 provides details on the existing discharges.
Stormwater and reservoir water seepage into the Powerhouse is directed to a
sump located in the Powerhouse Basement. Treatment prior to discharge
consists of oil and grease removal by floatation and skimming. See RPCC
Drawing in Appendix H for locations of outfalls.

Domestic Sewage
Domestic sewage generated at the facility is directed to a septic system
located on plant property.
Storm Sewers and Drains
All drains within the Santeetlah Facility (with the exception of the Oil Room)
are routed to two 4.400 gallon sumps located in the basement of the
Powerhouse. A transfer pump removes storm water that collects in the
downstream sump to the river. An automatic level control system operates
the pump. The upstream pump is a manual water jet pump. Any floating oils
collected in the sump are removed by skimming and placed in a drum.
Transformer Banks Nos. 1 and 2 located on either side of the Powerhouse,
and the OCB vessels and station service transformers located behind the
Powerhouse are diked and equipped with a drainage system. This system
has a manually operated gate valve that is kept closed except to drain
rainwater.
The OCB vessels in the Switchyard have been converted to SF-6 gas
breakers and thus do not contain oil.

RPCC for APGI-TAPOCO/SANTEETLAH NC
Process Water
Non -contact cooling water from Transformer Banks 1 and 2, and from the
generator bearings is discharged directly to the Little Tennessee River by-
passing the basement sumps. Another spill reduction improvement is that
the transformers are now cooled with air and not cooled with once through
lake water.
Drinking Water
Drinking water is supplied through bottled water.
5. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Process chemicals are stored in the areas of use at the Santeetlah facility.
The majority of the substances are liquids and gases stored in drums and
tanks or oil -filled equipment. Drummed hazardous wastes are stored in a
Hazardous Waste Storage Building, located southwest of the Powerhouse.
Used oil and parts washer solvents are recycled. Other non -recycled,
hazardous waste are stored for no longer than 90 days and are transported
and disposed of by permitted EPA/State transportation and treatment
storage/disposal facilities. On -site management for hazardous substances
requires the attendance of personnel with appropriate equipment, prepared to
stop when transfer operations are in process. Procedures for preventing and
containing spills are given in Sections III and V.F.
Spill absorbent materials are available facility -wide. In the event of a spill or
release, emergency response equipment is stored at the Main Office. See
Section IV, Table IV-1 for a listing of spill/release response equipment and
supplies available.
Plant wide inspections for all storage and usage areas affected by hazardous
materials, hazardous wastes and oils are performed. For a detailed
description of the inspection schedule see Section VI.
Appropriate training is required for all employees who work with hazardous
materials, wastes or oils. See Section VII for a detailed list of training offered
on -site.
6. PROTECTION OF SURFACE WATERS
The Powerhouse is located on the south bank of the Little Tennessee River.
The majority of the facility site drains directly to the river.
There is a low release potential for a spill from the facility to reach the river
since the OCB units in the switchyard were converted to gas units. Also,
there is a moderate release potential for the 90W oil, which is used in the
lubricating system located on the By -Pass Gates at the Dam. Should a
release occur it would flow north into Cheoah Lake.

RPCC for APGI-TAPOCO/SANTEETLAH NC
The majority of the Liquid hazardous materials and oils are managed with
secondary containment present.
The facility manages a spill response program outlined in Section V.F.
Absorbents are maintained at locations where oils and hazardous materials
and wastes are managed.
7. CONTINGENCY PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Dennis Weeter Associates, 322 High Street, Maryville, TN, 37804, was
responsible for formulating the contingency plan under the direction of APGI-
Tapoco and Alcoa, Inc. Tennessee Operations Environmental Supervisor
(Stephanie Sparkman). Information and guidance on the suggested contents
of the contingency plan has been provided by ALCOA's Corporate
Environmental Affairs Department in their Release Prevention Control and
Countermeasure Plan Manual August 2004. Dr. Weeter made a site visit on
11 /04/04.
8. AIR EMISSIONS
There are no air permits required for the Santeetlah facility.
Acetylene, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen are stored in compressed
cylinders in areas of use. In the event of a cylinder leak, these could become
an air emission source.
9. ALCOA OWNED RAILROADS
Not applicable.
10. FACILITY EXPANSION
There have been no substantial expansions to the Santeetlah facility
completed after January 1, 1990, which would necessitate an increase in
response equipment to adequately respond to a release.

A. FACILITY DESIGN
Minimum release preventive measures in
into the design of the
following storage containers and facilities on the Santeetlah site include:
1. Drums, carboys, and other containers are, if located outdoors, typically
secondarily contained and protected from runon and runoff. This applies to
single units or multiple units. Units located indoors shall be secondarily
contained unless any of the following conditions are met:
i) The units are used in a process;
The units are located such that a leak or spill drains to an in -
plant sump which is self contained.
Greater than 10' from an outside door or opening.
2. Aboveground tanks containing liquids shall, if located outdoors, be
secondarily contained, and protected from runon and runoff. This applies to
single units or multiple units. Units located indoors shall be secondarily
contained unless any of the following conditions are met:

Gaseous and liquified gas tanks (acetylene, argon, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and
oxygen) are inspected as required by appropriate North Carolina agencies. These
tanks are filled, inspected, and maintained by the vendors who supply the
products.
A "Chlorine Management Plan" is not required at this site.
G. DISCHARGE DETECTION SYSTEMS
Include a description of all spill or discharge detection devices such as tank
overfill alarms, secondary containment sensors, leak detectors, etc., provided at
this facility. Describe how the reliability of automatic leak detection devices is
checked and the frequency of inspection. Describe procedures used to verify
an alarm signal and actions to be initiated when a release is verified. For
example, oil storage containers subject to SPCC requirements must provide at
least one of the following devices:
• high liquid level alarms with audible or visual signal at a constantly attended
operation or surveillance station
• high liquid level pump cutoff devices to stop flow at a preset container level
• direct audible or code signal communication between container gauge and
the pumping station
• a fast response system for determining the liquid level of each bulk storage
container such as digital computers, telepulse, or direct vision gauges.
Storage containers include diesel storage tank and transformers. Permanent
storage tanks are no longer used. Transformers could only experience a high oil level
condition during initial filling operations. All of these devices have oil level gauges or
sight glasses which are monitored by a qualified person during filling operations. There
are no pumps or oil supplies to increase the level when this equipment is in operation.
The fuel tank is filled by an outside vendor. They do have sight gauges and are
monitored during filling operation.
H. SECURITY
Security measures are an integral part of the facility pollution prevention
program. This facility's security system is designed to prevent accidental or
intentional entry into the plant so that a release incident related to vandalism,
theft, or sabotage is avoided.
Site security details are located on Page 30, Appendix F, Emergency Response
Plan.
As of Nov. 2004, this facility does not have a security system or patrol.
The SHIFT mechanic inspects all dikes and removes rainwater if necessary. The
inspectors log is permanently kept at Cheoah Main Office.

SECTION V - EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES
A. GENERAL OVERVIEW
1. The Emergency Response Procedures describe response activities to fires or
explosions, and those emergencies resulting in releases of oil, hazardous
materials, or hazardous wastes to the environment, including air, soil, surface
waters and groundwaters.
2. The facility's "Emergency Procedures Plan", prepared by EMPE, Inc., and
dated 1/94, includes management of major injuries, fires, earthquakes, floods,
tornados or severe storms, and blizzards. The plan also addresses
communication and reporting procedures in the event of an emergency. A
copy of the Emergency Procedures Plan is included in Appendix F.
The "Evacuation Plan", which is activated in the event of a bomb threat,
severe earthquake or fire is also included in the "Emergency Procedures
Plan". This "Evacuation Plan" includes shut down procedures, evacuation
routes and assembly points.
In the event of a flood/darn failure where downstream evacuation is
necessary, procedures for evacuation are covered in APGI-Tapoco's
Emergency Action Plan for Dam Failure, Tallassee Project FERC No. 2169,
maior revision December- 1993. A copy of this plan is located in the
Santeetlah Dam Office.
Dennis Weeter and Associates assumes NO liability for the content or
regulatory accuracy of the above mentioned plans.
These Emergency Response Procedures will be used in conjunction with the
County's emergency response plan if the situation mandates this action. The
Graham County Emergency Management Service's plan entitled "Graham
County Emergency Operations Plan" addresses procedures for county wide
evacuation. The plan also discusses handling the following events during an
emergency situation: fire and rescue, health and medical, shelter and mass
care, evacuation, transportation, resource management, tornadoes, floods,
transportation accidents, chemical spills, radiological accidents, energy crisis,
nuclear attack, winter storms, and earthquakes. A copy of the Plan can be
reviewed at the Graham County Emergency Management Office, Graham
County Communications, 828-479-3352.
3. These Procedures will be reviewed annually, and amended as needed to
address changes or additions to facilities processes, operations, hazardous
substances, and personnel which would adversely impact their effectiveness.

E. REQUIRED ALCOA NOTIFICATIONS
Environmental incidents, including spills over 20 liters outside a designed
containment area, are to be reported under the Environmental Incident Reporting
System within three working days from the date the incident was identified.
Releases that qualify as "Major Incidents" must be entered into the Reporting
System within 24 hours. If the spill/release results in a condition of non-
compliance with applicable federal, state or local regulations or laws, it should be
reported as a non-compliance incident, rather than a spill/release. This reporting
mechanism supersedes the "Environmental Event/Procedure Report" and "Metric
#1': The Intranet address to log onto the system is
http //www safety,alcoa.com/safety/login.asp, and the user must have a valid ID
and password. For questions regarding what or how to report, call the
Environmental Help Desk in Pittsburgh at 412-553-2828; or send an email to the
[e-mail] mailbox.
For any release that qualifies as a "Major Incident" the Location Manager is
responsible for immediately notifying the appropriate Business Unit President
and the Corporate Environmental Director. The Business Unit President is
responsible for notifying the Executive Council. Refer to the table below:

• Releases from Alcoa operations that cause significant damage (visual
damage over one hectare or more, or measurable reduction in yields) to
natural vegetation or crops
• Any regulatory inspections that result or are likely to result in major fines
($25,000 or more), requirements to cease or curtail operations, or
notification to the media that an environmental problem exists.
• Any discoveries or contamination of soil, groundwater, or sediments that
have resulted from past spills, releases or discharges from Alcoa plants
that could result in remediation costs in excess of $100,000.
• Any complaints raised within 24 hours by more than five individuals for the
same environmental issue.
• Any fire or emergency situation that results or had a high potential to
result in impacts on environmental control equipment, waste storage
areas,or processes that could have released significant quantities of
harmful substances to the environment.
Any release that has the potential for significant publicity (e.g., may be reported
by major newspapers or national TV news services), whether or not considered a
"major incident" should be reported to Corporate EHS by telephone, voice mail or
e-mail. Each location should develop a written communication process to
appropriately inform neighbors and the public in general when a spill, release or
other event occurs that could have adverse impacts beyond the plant site.

I. INCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND CRITIQUE OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Accidents or near -accidents involving hazardous materials are investigated in
accordance with Alcoa's Accident Investigation Policy which requires
investigation in accordance with procedures outlined in the Major Incident
Investigation Manual. These procedures are initiated within 24 hours of the
incident. A major incident on Alcoa property is defined as one involving any of
the following:
1, a work related fatality
2. an accident with injuries considered to be life -threatening
3. an accident with injuries resulting in hospitalization of three or more people
4. an injury -free event resulting in damage to property, equipment, or
community, including but not limited to:
• business interruption of a major production line
• a major fire, explosion, or structural failure
• a major release of any chemical considered toxic or immediately
hazardous to human health
• an occurrence with high potential for disabling/fatal injury.
For any release which requires the activation of this RPCC Plan, an evaluation of
the response actions will be conducted for the purpose of improving the RPCC
Plan. Changes will be made to the RPCC Plan as needed.
As soon as possible after the accidental release, a critique of the emergency
response should be undertaken for the purpose of using this information to
improve the RPCC plan. A blank form to use for collecting post -emergency
assessment information is included in Appendix B.
Applicable records, including manifests and certificates of disposal, are maintained
on file by Santeetlah.

SECTION VI - INSPECTIONS AND RECORDS
A. GENERAL OVERVIEW
Several areas of the plant require periodic inspections, because of their potential
for serious environmental, operational, or personal consequences in the event of
a failure or malfunction.
Hazardous materials and hazardous waste storage areas must be inspected for
malfunctions, "operator errors, and discharges which may cause or lead to a
release of hazardous waste constituents to the environment or a threat to human
health. Inspections must be performed often enough to identify problems in time
to correct them before they cause any damage or harm. An inspection schedule
has been developed which identifies: areas and equipment to be inspected, types
of problems to look for during the inspection, personnel or department
responsible for the inspections, the inspection frequency, and the location of
records to document inspections.
The inspection frequency varies. It is based upon the rate of possible
deterioration of equipment, and the probability of an environmental or human
health incident if the deterioration or malfunction or operator error goes
undetected between .inspections.
Hazardous material/waste areas subject to releases, such as loading and
unloading areas, must be inspected daily when in use. Hazardous waste
regulations stipulate that hazardous waste containers, and areas where the
containersare stored be inspected weekly for leaks, deterioration, corrosion and
other factors.
Emergency Alarm systems should be tested periodically (annually for supervised
systems and every two months for unsupervised systems) for reliability and
adequacy. Personnel trained in the operation of these systems shall perform
testing, servicing, and maintenance.
If the facility contains any PCB transformers (transformers that contain 500 ppm
or greater PCB's) they must be inspected as specified in 40 CFR 761.30
(a)(1)(ix), (xii), (xiii), and (xiv).
EPA regulations published in 40CFR112 require tank integrity testing for certain
oil tanks based upon types of tanks. Field constructed tanks require integrity
testing. Shop fabricated tanks less than 30,000 gallons which meet certain field
conditions will not undergo integrity testing using non-destructive evaluation
(NDE) methods but will be subject to visual inspection only based on a
determination of equivalent environmental protection, as permitted in 112.7(a)(2).
Fifty five gallon drums and totes are shop fabricated tanks and as such would be

subject to integrity testing using NDE methods if all sides, including the bottom
are not visible or if the container is not located such that a barrier layer exists
between the tank bottom and the ground so that leakage may be immediately
detected and soil contamination is avoided. Tanks that provide wastewater
treatment are excluded from regulation under 40CFR112. Oil containers that use oil
operationally, `process,' are not required to undergo integrity testing.
Therefore, for Santeetlah Powerhouse, the Professional Engineer, evaluated
tanks using the following criteria:
1.0perational use of oil, `Process,' tank?
2.Wastewater treatment tank?
3.Field constructed tank?
4.Shop fabricated tank ( 55 gallon drum, tote, tank)? Less than 30,000gallons?
5.Plastic tank?
6.Does a barrier layer exist between the bottom of the tank and ground?
Concrete, steel, membrane, or other?
7.Tank on a support?
8.All sides of tank, including bottom, visible?
9.Adequate secondary containment?
The Professional Engineer used established industry standards and the visual
results from the on site inspection of each tank to determine the inspection
schedule.
Each tank evaluated and classified by the Professional Engineer using the above
criteria ( 1...9), is as follows:
1-1000 gallon tank at emergency generator 4,6,8,9
5- tanks ranging in size from 1000-7000 gallon in powerhouse oil room 1,6,8,9
2-100 gallon tanks turbine main floor 4,6,8,9
2-3920, and 1 —3920 spare transformers 1,4,6,8,9

elevated on supports or grillage) or the tank is placed on a barrier and not in contact
with soil, the EPA has agreed that visual testing alone will provide equivalent
environmental protection. APGI contends that all tanks at Santeetlah meet this
definition.
4PGI Santeetlah contends that "visual inspection" of tanks and appurtenances presented in
Table VI -I is a deviation from the regulatory requirements and that visual testing
alone provides equivalent environmental protection because it will permit detection of
leaks or compromised container integrity in a timely fashion at least as effective as
employing NDE methods.
The PE certifying this Plan agrees that the inspection frequency for "visual inspection" of
tanks and appurtenances presented in Table VI -I will permit detection of leaks or
compromised container integrity in a timely fashion at least as effective as employing
NDE methods.
This facility does not have tanks that require NDE methods for tank integrity testing and
shall use "visual inspection" as equivalent environmental protection.

The Cheoah Powerhouse is an eight -acre site located on the south bank of the
Little Tennessee River near river mile 51.5, which is at the head of Calderwood
Lake in North Carolina. The powerhouse is bordered on the east and southeast
by mountains, by the Little Tennessee River on the north, and by the Cheoah
River to the west and southwest. The Cheoah Powerhouse is located
approximately half a mile north of Tapoco, NC. Access to the facility is from U.S.
Highway_ 129. Figure 1, located in Appendix B, is a USGS map showing the
location of the Cheoah Powerhouse and the surrounding area. Figure 2 is a site
plan of the facility. Table 1, in Appendix B, provides general facility information
on the Cheoah Powerhouse.
industry\tapom\epp-ncdoc 1

Geologically, the Cheoah Powerhouse is located in the BlueRidge region of
western North Carolina. This province is characterized by rugged terrain,
heavily forested slopes, and rushing streams and water falls. Valleys in this
region range from 1,000 to 1,500 feet above mean sea level, with some mountain
peaks' exceeding 6,000 feet above mean sea level.
The major and only production process at the Cheoah facility is the hydroelectric
generation of electricity. The dam located adjacent to the powerhouse and a
connecting pipeline provides mechanical energy (water pressure) which is
converted to electrical energy by five generators.
D. General Information - Santeetlah Facility
The Santeetlah Powerhouse is a four -acre site located on the south bank of the
Little Tennessee River near ever mile 56.7, approximately three miles west of the
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Fontana Dam. The powerhouse is bordered
on the south and west by wooded mountains, by the Little Tennessee River on
the north, and by wooded areas on the east. The Santeetlah Powerhouse is
located approximately seven miles from the city of Robbinsville, NC. Figure 5,
located in Appendix C, is a USGS map showing the location of the Santeetlah
Powerhouse and the surrounding area. Figure 6 is a site plan of the dam and the
site map for the powerhouse is depicted in Figure 7. Table 2, located .in
Appendix C, provides general facility information on the Santeetlah
Powerhouse.
Geologically, the Santeetlah Powerhouse is located in the Blue Ridge region of
western North Carolina. This province is characterized by rugged terrain,
heavily forested slopes, and rushing streams and water falls. Valleys in this
region range from 1,000 to 1,500 feet above mean sea level with some mountain
peaks exceeding 6,000 feet above mean sea level.
The major and only production process at the Santeetlah facility is the

III. GENERAL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
A. Overview
The Emergency Procedures Plan is designed to minimize hazards to human
health or the environment from fires, natural disasters, or any unplanned sudden
or non -sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to
air, soils, or surface waters. The provisions of this plan must be carried out
immediately whenever there is an emergency event.
B. Contingency Plan - Preparedness and Prevention
This section of the Plan reviews the availability of equipment, and the practices
that are required to maintain the readiness of the response elements.
1. Alarm Systems
The Cheoah Powerhouse is manned on a 24-hour basis.There are
automatic, audible fire alarms which will detect a fire in the powerhouse.
The Santeetlah Powerhouse is an unmanned, automatic facility.
Emergency response and maintenance activities are supplied from
TAPOCO, Inc. Cheoah Powerhouse. The Cheoah Powerhouse is located
fifteen minutes from the Santeetlah Powerhouse and is manned on a 24-
hour basis.
Unauthorized entry to the Santeetlah Powerhouse is detected by an alarm
system, which signals the TAPOCO, Inc. Cheoah Powerhouse of such an
intrusion. If a fire should break out in the powerhouse, an automatic
alarm system will trigger, notifying personnel at the Cheoah Powerhouse
of an emergency situation. In addition, an audible alarm will sound at the
Santeetlah Powerhouse.
2. Communication Systems
Telephones are available for summoning emergency assistance from local
police and fire departments, or stateorlocal emergency response teams.
There are telephones in the Cheoah Control Room where an operator is
always present and also in the Main Office. Any incidents requiring
emergency actions should be reported immediately. There are phones in
the Cheoah and Santeetlah Powerhouse Control Rooms, the phone
numbers for which are listed below:
industry\tapoco\epp-nr-doc 6

_ Telephone
Cheoah Powerhouse Control Room [phone]
[phone]
Cheoah Powerhouse Main Office [phone]
[phone]
Santeetlah Powerhouse [phone]
In addition to the telephone system, two-way radios are permanently
secured in the Cheoah Powerhouse Control Room and Main Office, as
well as in all TAPOCO, Inc. vehicles. TAPOCO personnel would use
these radios to summon assistance if phone access is not possible. The PA
system can be used for announcements on -site.
Since the Santeetlah facility is an unmanned site, a company vehicle will
always be present if personnel are on site.
3. Unobstructed Access Maintenance
Non -equipment areas should be kept free from unnecessary objects which
may impede access by emergency crews as well impede the exit in an
emergency evacuation.
4. Outside Agencies to Assist in Emergencies
Outside agencies are available to respond to an emergency. Should an
emergency occur which exceeds the plant's emergency response
capabilities, call the appropriate agencies listed in Table 2 for assistance.
5. General Facility. Evacuation Plan
In the event of a severe natural disaster, severe fire, etc., refer to each
individual specific event procedure for the proper evacuation plan. Floor
plans are included in Appendix B for Cheoah and Appendix C for
Santeetlah. These plans show all stairways and exits from the facilities.
The following evacuation plan is general and could be used in most
instances. The person receiving the call or finding the emergency
situation should notify the area superintendent or his representative.
Area Superintendent shall:
a. Notify all employees on site by telephone or by radio.
b. Notify all employees in the field ( away from the site) about
the emergency via company two-way radio.
industry\tapoco\epp-nc.doc
7

C. Notify the Alcoa dispatching center via phone.
i
d. Notify the proper civil authorities.
Maintenance personnel on site shall:
Immediately cease work, shut down maintenance equipment, and
go to the Tapoco Lodge parking lot to await further instructions via
two-way radio.
Maintenance personnel in the field shall:
Immediately cease work and stay at their present location with a
radio and wait for further instructions.
Operating personnel shall:
Shut down all units (time permitting) and go to the Tapoco Lodge
parking lot to await further instructions via two-way radio.
Area Superintendent shall then:
a. Count all employees.
b. Verify number and location of all employees away from the
Tapoco Lodge parking lot by radio.
C. Verify that all employees are accounted for or search for the
missing.
d. Confer with civil authorities and company officials on next
course of action.
6. Involvement in Community Evacuation Plans
Since the facilities have no acutely hazardous materials, they are not
involved in any community evacuation plans. However, flood/ dam
failure would require downstream evacuations and is covered in
TAPOCO, Inc.'s EAP for Dam Failure.
7. External Factors Affecting Emergency Response Procedures
During natural disasters, i.e. flooding, earthquake, blizzard, etc, it may be
difficult to properly respond to an emergency situation such as a major
bodily injury.
industry\tapOM\epp-ncdoc 8

If high winds or a storm interrupts a telephone communication, the
mobile 2-way radio units in the company vehicles or hand held units can
be utilized.
C. Emergency Response Procedures
The emergency procedures detailed in this section apply to natural disasters, the.
release/spill of oils or hazardous substances, fires, or major injuries. These
procedures are meant to supplement any others which TAPOCO, Inc. or ALCOA
may have, such as those delineated in an RPCC Plan or Emergency Action Plans
For Dam Failure. The emergency procedures would be used in conjunction with
the Community's Emergency Response Plan if the situation mandates this action.
The emergency procedures addressed herein shall be reviewed annually and
amended as needed to address changes or additions to the facility, its processes
and operations, hazardous substances, and personnel which would adversely
impact their effectiveness.
Following the occurrence of a natural disaster, release/spill, fire, or major injury
that requires implementation of this plan, the Primary Emergency Coordinator
(as listed on the First -Plant -Contact List) must immediately notify the proper
r agencies.
(� This Emergency Procedures Plan is intended to provide specific information and
instructions in order to properly respond in an emergency situation. However,
certain unforeseen circumstances may arise in which deviations from this plan
may be -necessary. In the event this happens, the individual should use best
individual judgment on a case by case basis.
D. Emergency Event History
If an emergency procedures event occurs in the future, this plan should be
amended. A brief written description of the event should be provided which
includes the following information:
1. Date,
2. Type of Emergency,
3. Plant location and area of emergency,
4. Cause of emergency
5. Personnel and agencies notified or involved
industry\tapoco \epp-nc.doc

IV. SPECIFIC EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
A. Major Injury
1. General Information
Locate District Memorial Hospital, Andrews North Carolina on Figure 11,
Appendix D, and post as well as instruct individuals as to the shortest
route to the nearest hospital. The following is a list of pertinent phone
numbers in the event of a major injury.
District Memorial Hospital - Emergency Room 704-321-1260
District Memorial Hospital - General Information 704-321-1200
Graham County Ambulance 704-479-8342
Graham County Fire Department 704-479-3333
Graham County Sheriff 704-479-3352
Lifestar Helicopter 800-854-1033
University of Tennessee 800-792-1033
Hospital Helicopter
North Carolina Highway Patrol 800-662-7956
These phone numbers should be posted next to all phones as well as be
available for review in this manual. In the event of a major injury, dial
911 immediately. Personnel should verify that they are on a 498 extension
or one of the North Carolina phone lines. When using PBX lines,
personnel should dial 3393 (Cheoah control room), 3394 (Doug Frushour's
office), or 3322 (dispatchers office). If PBX phone- is not available, notify
appropriate personnel via vehicle radio. All on -site personnel should be
trained in the use of CPR and basic first aid in order to correctly respond
to an injured person. This training would be beneficial in aiding a
severely injured individual. The American Red Cross can provide this
training on -site or at the Red Cross office in Maryville.
The District Memorial Hospital is located at 71 Witaker Lane, Andrews,
North Carolina. From Cheoah or Santeetlah, follow U.S. Route 129 South
to Andrews. Highway 129 intersects Witaker Lane.
2. First Aid
In the event of a major injury, apply first aid immediately. First aid is
intended to prevent death or further injury and relieve pain until medical
aid can be obtained. The initial responsibility for first aid rests with the
person(s) at the scene, who should react quickly but in a calm manner.
Professional medical help should be summoned immediately with clear
industry\tapoco \epp-ncdoc
11

and specific descriptions of the type of injury. The injured person should
not be moved except where necessary to prevent further injury. All
personnel should be trained in basic first aid and CPR. The following is
some categories of major injuries with some basic first aid steps to'follow.
a. Pulmonary Resuscitation
If the patient is unresponsive and no breathing movements are
apparent, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation immediately.
I. Place the patient flat on his back and kneel at the side.
2. Establish an airway. Check the patients mouth with your
fingers to be sure that no obstruction is present and then tip
the pat ent's'head back until the chin points straight up.
3. Pinch the patient's nostrils and begin mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation by taking a deep breath and placing your
mouth over the patient's mouth so as to make a leakproof
seal. Blow your breath into the patient's mouth until you see
the chest rise.
4. Remove your mouth and allow the patient to exhale.
5. Repeat at a rate of once every 5 seconds.
b. Cardiac Resuscitation
In the unresponsive patient, check for a cardiac pulse by locating
the larynx (Adam's apple) with the tips of your fingers and slide
them into the groove between it and the muscle at the side of the
neck. If no pulse is felt, circulation must be restored within 4
minutes to prevent brain damage.
1. With the patient flat on his back, kneel at the waist, facing
the head.
2. Place the heel of your right hand over the heel of your left
hand on top of the patient's breastbone about 3 cm above'its
lower tip.
3. Shift. your weight to the patient's chest and compress it at
least 4 cm, then remove the pressure.
4. Continue at a rate of 80 compressions / minute.
industry\tapoco\epp-nc.doc 12

c. Heavy Bleeding
Heavy bleeding is caused by injury to one of more large blood
vessels. Lay the individual down. Control bleeding by applying
firm pressure directly over the wound with a clean handkerchief,
cloth, or your hand. A tourniquet should be applied only in cases
of an amputation or other injury to a limb in which there is no other
way to stop the bleeding. If a tourniquet is used, a record of the
time it was applied must be kept.
d Shock
Shock usually accompanies severe injury. The signs of shock
include pallor, a cold and clammy skin, beads of perspiration on
the forehead and hands, weakness, nausea, vomiting, shallow
--breathing, and a rapid pulse. The following procedures for treating
shock should be followed:
1. Correct the cause if possible (i.e. control bleeding).
2. Keep the individual lying down.
3. Keep the individuals airway open. If he or she is about' to
vomit, turn the head to the side.
4. 'Keep the individual warm.
e. Miscellaneous Injuries and Illnesses
1. Back and neck injuries - Keep the patient absolutely quiet.
Do not move the patient or lift the head unless absolutely
necessary.
2. Chest Pain - Keep the patient calm and quiet. Place the
patient in the most comfortable position.
3. Convulsion - Place the patient on the floor. Do not restrain
the patient's movements except to prevent injury. Do not
place a blunt object between the patient's teeth, put any
liquid in the mouth, slap the patient, or douse him/her with
water.
4. Electric Shock - Throw the switch to turn off the current. Do
not touch the victim until he/she is separated from the
industry\tapoco\epp-nr-doc 13

current source. Begin CPR if breathing and cardiac pulse
have ceased.
5. Unconsciousness - Keep the victim warm, lying down, and
quiet until he/she regains consciousness. Do not move the
victim's head if there is bleeding from the nose, mouth, ear,
or eyes. Do not give anything by mouth. Keep the victim's
airway open. Do not cramp the neck with a pillow.
NOTE: ALL PERSONNEL SHOULD BE TRAINED IN BASIC FIRST AID
AND CPR BEFORE ATTENDING TO A VICTIM. SEVERITY OF INJURY
CAN BE INCREASED WITH IMPROPER FIRST AID.
B. Fire

Fire Event At Cheoah
If a fire should break out in the powerhouse, an automatic, audible alarm
system will trigger, notifying personnel at the TAPOCO, Inc. Cheoah
Powerhouse of the emergency. If the fire is relatively small, fire
extinguishers located throughout the facility should be used to extinguish
the 'fire. In case of a generator fire, high pressure carbon dioxide is an
automatic extinguishing source that is in place at the facility. Water
outlets for fire fighting hoses and other fire suppression equipment are
available as shown in Figure 4. Water sprinklers are also located at
several locations -in the powerhouse.

5. Evacuation Procedures For Severe Fire
Contactlocal fire department, notify appropriate TAPOCO personnel (see
First -Plant -Contact list), and sound the alarm if not already sounding.
Vacate facility via the nearest, safest route, following exit signs. Heat and
smoke rise, leaving cleaner air near the floor, therefore if evacuation must
be made through a smoke filled area, crawl low. Also when evacuating,
check doors before opening. Kneeling or crouching at the door, reach up
as high as you can and touch the door, the knob, and the space between
the door and its frame with the back of your hand. If the door is hot, use
another escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously, continue
along your escape route being sure to close doors behind you in an effort
to contain the fire behind. Once outside, move away from the facility,
account for all personnel, check for injuries, and allow trained fire fighters
to combat the fire. Refer to general evacuation procedures in Section
III(5).
6. General Fire Safety and Preparedness
Fires can be prevented and injury and loss can be minimized, if employees
follow simple on-the-job fire safety practices. Several easy steps to fire
prevention in the workplace are as follows:
a. Cigarette smoking should be in designated areas only with disposal
of cigarette butts and ashes in approved containers.
industry\tapoco\epp-nc.doc 16

b. Replace any electrical wiring that has cracked insulation or a
broken connector.
C. Leave space for air to circulate around heavy equipment.
d. Keep exits, storage areas, and stairways free from debris.
Early planning is critical to minimize injury. Personnel should be familiar
with their surroundings in each facility. During a fire, electrical power
may be disconnected and therefore an individual may have to locate exits
in the dark Knowing the locations of the nearest fire alarms, fire
extinguishers, fire hydrants, etc. will expedite response to a fire. Also,
knowing the quickest evacuation route as well as an alternate evacuation
route in case of fire blockage of the primary route is an essential element
of fire safety. All personnel should conduct regular evacuation drills for
fires as well as other emergencies.
7. Fire Extinguishers
A fire extinguisher is the best defense against fires that have just begun.
Fire extinguishers can buy enough time to get out of a burning area and
can completely extinguish fires if used properly. However, using the
wrong type of extinguisher can worsen a fire situation. It is very
important to know the type of extinguishers located at the Cheoah and
Santeetlah facilities. The extinguishers present at each facility are dry
chemical types and CO2 types. These types of extinguishers can fight
Class A fires, Class B fires (flammable liquids, gases, and greases) and
Class C fires (electrical equipment and wires). There is a symbol on every
fire extinguisher that designates the type. All fire extinguishers are placed
in plain sight and are inspected regularly to ensure proper working order.
An inspection log is kept on file.
C. Earthquake
1. Preparedness for an Earthquake
There will be no early warning for a natural disaster like an earthquake. It
will strike very suddenly, therefore preplanning and preparedness is
essential for survival and immediate action is critical. Personnel should
become aware of potential hazards and safety measure to take during the
earthquake. Most injuries incurred during an earthquake are a result of
partial building collapse, falling objects and debris and not a result of
ground movement. The following list of guidelines should be followed
for earthquake preparedness:
industry\ tapoco\epp-ncdoc
17

a. Knowing the surrounding environment is very important. During
an earthquake, stay away from heavy furniture and equipment,
windows and glass, shelving, and masonry. A hallway is one of
the safest places while kitchens and garage areas are the most
dangerous areas since there is generally a lot of shelving and heavy
objects in these areas. A safe place should be designated in each
section of the powerhouses and dams such as sturdy table,
workbench or against an inside wall. In addition, employees
should be familiar with the facility escape routes.
b. All personnel will meet at the Tapoco Lodge parking lot following
the earthquake.
C. Conduct safety practice drills, i.e. locating safe refuges where you
are at a particular time.
d. Learn first -aid and CPR.
e. Keep a copy of the emergency phone list handy.
f. All personnel should be instructed in, and know the locations of all
essential shut-off valves (i.e. gas, water, electricity, carbon dioxide,
etc.).
g. Secure heavy objects and machinery that could move enough to
cause severe injury or damage.
h. Keep breakables and heavy objects on bottom shelves.
i. Keep flammables or hazardous materials secured.
j. A flashlight, portable radio, batteries, and first -aid kits will be kept
on hand. Individual personnel are responsible for a supply of
clothing and food.
2. During an Earthquake
If indoors, stay there and locate the safest place of refuge in the particular
section of the facility you are in at that moment (i.e. hallway, under sturdy
table, in a corner, next to inside wall, away from glass and possible falling
objects). The three words DUCK, COVER, and HOLD are words that
should be remembered during an earthquake. Individuals should DUCK
to the floor and take COVER under a sturdy gable, bench, etc.. If that is
not possible, seek COVER against an interior wall and protect your head
and neck with your arms. After seeking COVER under some sturdy
industry\taporn \epp-ncdoc 18

object, HOLD on to it and be prepared to move with it or HOLD the safe
position until the ground stops shaking and it is safe to move.
If outdoors, get into an open area away from trees, buildings, walls, and
power lines. If you are too close to a building to safely get away from it,
then duck into a doorway to protect yourself from falling bricks, glass,
and other debris.
If driving, pull over to the side of the road and remain in vehicle until the
shaking has stopped. Avoid overpasses and power lines.
3. After an Earthquake
Check for injuries and apply first -aid if necessary. Do not move seriously
injured individuals unless they are in immediate danger. After
accounting for all personnel and attending to any injured, check for
hazards. The following is a list of possible hazards and other things to
consider:
a. Check for water leaks, gas leaks, and other utility damage.
b. Check for powerhouse and dam structural damage.
C. Check food and water supply for integrity.
d. Turn on portable radio for instructions and news.
e. Do not use vehicles unless there_is..a seriously injured person that
needs immediate attention.
f. Be prepared for aftershocks.
g. Stay calm and cooperate with other personnel as well as public
safety officials.
As previously mentioned, earthquakes are unpredictable, therefore
preparedness is the key to survival in such an instance as well as in other
major natural disaster events.
D. Flood
An Emergency Action Plan for flood/dam failure is discussed in detail in
TAPOCO, Inc.'s Emergency Action Plan For Dam Failure, Tallassee Project FERC
No. 2169, Major Revision December 1993. All emergency actions related to
flooding due to dam failure should be obtained from that document. The
industry \ to p oco \ epp-n c doc
19

emergency procedures discussed in this document will be for river flooding and I
overland flooding not related to dam failure.
Floods are a natural and inevitable part of life along rivers. There are two types
of floods to be discussed. These are seasonal floods which result from excessive
rain causing river basins and small tributaries to fill with too much water. This
type of seasonal flooding occurs when soil and vegetation cannot absorb the
falling rain fast enough and when the water runs off the land in such quantities
that it cannot be carried away quickly enough in normal stream channels or be
retained in lakes or reservoirs. Flash floods are the second type of flooding
event. Flash floods are raging torrents which rip through river beds and
mountain canyons after heavy rains. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administrations (NOAA) local National Weather Service Offices issue flood
warnings. The local National Weather Service office is located in Knoxville and
can be contacted at the following phone number:
National Weather Service 615-970-2784
There are also NOAA radio stations located across the country operating on a 24
hour basis. These radio stations provide up to the minute information on
impending weather conditions and flood warnings. Taped weather messages
are repeated every 4-6 minutes and will include watches, warnings, and
statements. The radio frequencies to tune into for the Cheoah/Santeetlah
Facilities are listed below.
NOAA Weather Radio Network 162.550 MHz (Chattanooga)
_ _--- .-_-__ _- —.. _-162.475 MHz (Knoxville)
162.400 MHz (Asheville)
1. Before A Flood:
a. Tune in regularly to the weather radio during the rainy season.
b. Know the elevation above flood stage for safe refuge (refer to EAP
for Flood/Dam Failure,1993).
C. Know the evacuation route. This will be U.S,highway 129 in most
instances.
2. When a flood warning is issued:
a. If time permits, move essential items to higher ground,
b. Grease immovable machinery,
industry\tapoco\epp-nc.doc 20

C. Fill fuel tanks to keep them from floating away,
d. Move to a safe area before access is cut off by flood water,
e. Store drinking water since water service may be interrupted.
3. During a Flood:
a. Avoid areas of sudden flooding,
b. Do not attempt to cross a flowing stream where water is above
your knees,
C. Do not attempt to drive over a flooded road.
4. _After A. -Flood:
a. Boil drinking water. Wells should be pumped out and the water
tested for purity before drinking.
b. Seek necessary medical care.
C. Avoid disaster areas until area has been cleared.
d. Do not come in contact with live electrical equipment; electrical
equipment should be dried and checked before being returned to
service.
e. Report broken utility lines to appropriate authorities.
f. Check for injuries and apply first -aid if necessary.
g. Account for all personnel
5. Flash Floods:
Flash flood waves, moving at incredible speeds, can roll boulders, up -root
trees, destroy buildings and bridges, and scour out new channels. Killing
walls of water can reach heights of 10 - 20 feet. Prior warning of these
sudden, deadly floods may not occur. However, when a flash flood
warning is issued for your area or the moment a flash flood becomes
imminent, act quickly. The following is a list of procedures to follow in
the event of a flash flood.
r-
a. Get out of area subject to flooding. This includes dips, low spots,
--- canyons, washes, drainage basins, etc.
industry\tapom\epp-nc.doc 21

b. Avoid already flooded and high velocity flow areas.
C. Be very cautious when driving. Road beds may be washed out.
d. If the vehicle stalls, abandon it immediately and seek higher
ground.
e. Be especially cautious at night when it will be harder to recognize
flood dangers.
E. Tornado and Severe Storms
The national weather service provides information on this type of storm. A radio
tuned to the weather service band (the frequencies are listed in the flood section
of this document) could pre-warn-TAPOCO, Inc. personnel of an impending
storm of this magnitude. By definition, a tornado is a violent rotating column of
air in contact with the ground. There are three types of tornadoes described by
NOAA. A weak tornado has winds approaching 100 MPH, a strong tornado has
winds approaching 200 MPH, while a violent tornado has winds approaching
300 MPH. Tornadoes usually develop from strong or severe thunderstorms,
therefore, thunderstorm safety and procedures will also be covered in this
section.
1. Tornado Facts That Can Save Lives
a. Tornadoes travel at an average speed of 30 MPH, but speeds can
reach 70 MPH and generally move from southwest to northeast.
As a result, do not attempt to flee to safety in a vehicle. It is best to
remain where you are or .locate a sturdy structure. If a sturdy
structure is not available, seek out a ditch or ravine.
b. While hail may or may not precede a tornado, the portion of a
thunderstorm adjacent to large hail is often the area where strong
to violent tornadoes are most likely to occur. Therefore seek
appropriate shelter when hail begins and remain in the shelter for
15 to 30 minutes after the hail ceases.
C. The tornado's atmospheric pressure drop plays a minor role in the
damage process. Opening a window, once thought to be a way to
minimize damage by allowing inside and outside pressure to
equalize, is not recommended.. If a tornado gets close enough for
the pressure drop to be experienced, the strong winds will have
already caused significant damage. Opening the wrong window
can, in some instances, increase damage. Therefore, do not take the
time to open or close windows.
industry\tapoco\epp-ncdoc 22

d. While most tornado damage is caused by the violent winds, most
tornado injuries and deaths result from flying debris. Therefore,
seek shelter in a lower portion of the powerhouses and dams where
small debris is minimal.
e. Tornado wind speeds increase with height within the tornado. As
previously stated, seek shelter in a lower level of the facilities or, if
outside at the time, seek a ditch or ravine and stay as close to the
ground as possible.
f. Tornado winds may produce a loud roar similar to that of a train or
airplane. Therefore, at night or in a heavy rain, this roar will serve
as a clue to an impending tornado.
2. National Weather Service Watch/Warning System
a. Watch
A watch is issued when and where severe thunderstorms and/or
tornadoes are most likely to occur. A severe thunderstorm watch
implies that the storms may develop to significant strength to
produce large hail and/or damaging winds. A severe
thunderstorm watch does not exclude the occurrence of a tornado.
A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for both
tornadoes and thunderstorms.
b. Warnings
Warnings are issued by local National Weather Service offices
when severe thunderstorms or tornadoes are indicated on radar or
reported by individuals. A warning will outline the area at risk.
All personnel should seek appropriate refuge if a warning has been
issued for the Cheoah and Santeetlah general vicinity.
3. Emergency Procedures
All personnel should seek refuge inside the powerhouses or dams
depending on their location at that time. A refuge in one of the lower
sections of the facility would provide sufficient protection. The turbine
floor or lower hallway in the Cheoah powerhouse and the basement for
away from windows at the Santeetlah powerhouse. A few guidelines are
listed below.
,' a. Stay away from windows, doors, and outside walls.
industry\tapoco\epp-ncdoc 23

b. Protect your head.
C. Go to the lower floors away from areas that contain a lot of small
objects.
d. If there is no nearby shelter, he flat in the nearest ditch or ravine
with your hands shielding your head.
e. Always be informed. Listen to NOAA Weather Radio.
After the tornado ceases, proceed to check for structural damage and
bodily injury to personnel. Also, contact all appropriate TAPOCO
personnel located at the dams and powerhouses to account for all
personnel.
4. Thunderstorms and LightningSafety Rules
If personnel plan to be outside, always check the weather beforehand. At
signs of an impending storm (thunderheads, darkening skies, lightning,
high winds) tune to NOAA radio for information. When a severe storm is
threatening, always seek shelter indoors or inside your vehicle. If you are
caught outside, do not stand under tall isolated trees or telephone poles.
Also avoid projecting above the surrounding landscape. Shelter can be
obtained in a low area under a thick growth of vegetation or a low ravine.
Get away from open water, tractors, machinery, metal pipes, and
guardrails. Lightning may strike away from the storm. If you are caught
in an open area and you feel your hair stand on end, lightning may be
about to strike. Drop to your knees and bend forward, putting your
hands on your knees. Do not lie flat on the ground.
F. Blizzard
The national weather service radios will also be beneficial in predicting a storm
such as a blizzard. The key to protection from a severe winter storm is to keep
posted on weather conditions. A few hours of warning can be the key to avoid
being stranded. A blizzard is the most dangerous of all winter storms combining
cold air, heavy snow, and strong winds.
1. Winter Storm Safety Procedures
a. Keep ahead of the storm by listening to the latest weather warnings
and bulletins.
b. Check battery powered equipment before the storm arrives.
industry\tapoco\epp-ncdoc 24

C. Check the supply of heating fuel.
d. Prevent fire hazards if portable heaters are used.
e. Stay indoors during the storm.
f. Wear dress appropriate for the season. Wear loose fitting,
lightweight, warm clothing in several layers. The layers can be
removed as necessary.
g. Be mentally and physically prepared for isolation.
h. Avoid overexertion.
i. Travel only if necessary. Make sure your vehicle is in good
condition, preferably equipped with chains, snow tires, or four
wheel drive. Never travel alone and have a sufficient amount of
gas. Have emergency supplies in the vehicle such as sand, shovel,
windshield scraper, tow chain, rope, flashlight, blankets or sleeping
bags, gloves, overshoes, extra socks, and winter headgear. Travel
should be by daylight if possible and do not get in a hurry. If your
vehicle breaks down, stay calm. Think the problem through and
proceed with the safest and best alternative. Do not leave your
vehicle except for an extreme emergency because you could
become lost, confused, and disoriented. If you must leave your
vehicle, stay on the road, do not attempt to make short cuts by
trekking overland.
2. After the Winter Storm
Check for injured personnel and apply first -aid. Frost bite will be the
most common injury following a winter storm. After accounting for all
personnel and attending to any injured, check for safety hazards (i.e. deep
snow drifts, snow overhangs, snow/ice slides, electrical equipment).
G. Oil, Hazardous Material or Hazardous Waste Spill
If the release or spill of any oil, hazardous material or hazardous waste occurs at
Cheoah or Santeetlah, refer to the respective individual RPCC plan.

V. MAJOR INCIDENT REPORTING
A. Discoverer's Alert Procedures
If a natural disaster, fire, spill or release of hazardous material, or major injury
occurs, the individual discovering the incident should attempt to locate and
eliminate the source. If possible, he/she should try to stop or at least contain the
release or fire. In the event of a natural disaster or bodily injury, one must deal
with these circumstances on an individual basis. These measures should only be
undertaken if they can be accomplished without any risk to the individual. If the
source is not immediately obvious or if these measures are not effective and the
situation is beyond control, then the discoverer should initiate the following
emergency procedures:
1. --ontact ---
--- ----- -- - - -
Refer to the First -Plant -Contact list (located in front of document in hot
tab) for appropriate personnel to contact in the event of an emergency.
2. Pass along the following information:
a. Exact location of the emergency event;
b. Type and description of the emergency;
C. Estimate of the severity of the emergency, amount of material
released, or the size of the fire;
d. Extent of injury or property damage incurred;
e. Extent of the actual and potential environmental damage; and
f. Remedial actions taken, if any.
B. First -plant -contact's Responsibilities
After being alerted by the discoverer of an emergency situation, the first -plant -
contact will make a determination of the severity of the situation and instruct the
necessary plant personnel to implement appropriate emergency procedures, if
these have not already begun. The first plant contact will also:
1. Determine the type of emergency situation,
— 2. Instruct personnel as to the emergency procedures to follow,

VII SECURITY
A. Site Security
Site security, is an integral part of a facility's operation and should be made a fart .
o the aes gn o the ia`c ty. "bite psecuri'ty is 'r'equired by`the ono'wing� aw and`
their associated regulations:
o Occupational Safety and Health Act - Emergency Action
The Cheoah Powerhouse is accessible only from the bridge which crosses the
Cheoah River south of the facility as shown on the location map (figure 1). A
locked gate is used to prevent unauthorized entry into the facility. The facility is
surrounded by water on the north, west, and south sides and a steep hill to the
east, which provide natural barriers to unauthorized entry. Since the facility is
manned on a 24 hour basis, personnel are always available to identify
unauthorized entry to the facility.
The Santeetlah Powerhouse is accessible only from the roadway to the west of
the facility as shown on the location map (figure 5). A locked gate and fencing is
used to prevent unauthorized entry into the facility. The facility is surrounded
by water on the north and east sides and a steep hill to the south, which provide
natural barriers to unauthorized entry. An alarm system, which signals the
Cheoah Powerhouse, is in place to detect unauthorized entry.
The possibility of uncontrolled access to any areas containing hazardous
materials or waste is remote. The shift mechanic inspects the Cheoah facility
during the first shift on weekdays and the Santeetlah facility is inspected twice a
week The primary purpose of inspections is to monitor for oil releases, with a
secondary purpose of checking for and preventing vandalism.
There are automatic, time -activated flood lights in the various substations at the
facility which include the Transformer area east and south of Cheoah
Powerhouse. Time -activated flood lights are also located at the Santeetlah
facility. These are positioned at the switchyard, the transformer banks, and the
oil circuit breakers behind the powerhouse.
The security system is designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized entry onto
the property so that a release or injury incident related to vandalism, theft, or
sabotage is avoided. Security personnel inspect the Santeetlah Powerhouse and
Dam once a day. The primary purpose of inspections is to monitor for oil
releases, with a secondary purpose of checking for and preventing vandalism.

2. Maintenance Inspections
Daily inspections are required for those facilities that could potentially
cause environmental and bodily harm (see RPCC Plan Section VI(B)
pages 69-70 for Cheoah and pages 66-68 for Santeetlah). Site inspections
are performed daily at Cheoah and Santeetlah for those areas listed.
Twice a week (Monday and Friday) the Maintenance Staff performs a
detailed inspection of the complete operations of the Cheoah and
Santeetlah Powerhouses during the first shift.
C. Record Keeping
The inspection report forms for the Cheoah and Santeetlah Powerhouses (both
security inspection and maintenance. inspection) are filed in the Cheoah
Powerhouse office. General security reports are retained only when unusual
circumstances arise.

pan E.
I1910.38 Employaa e171er9cricy Pans.
1. Emergency action plan elements. The emergency action plan
should address emergencies that the employer may reasonably
expect in the workplace. Examples are: fire: toxic chemical
releases; hurricanes; tornadoes: blizzards: floods; and others. The
elements of the emergency anion plan presented in paragraph
1910.3MAX2) can be supplemented by the following to more eHec-
lively achieve employee safety and health in an emergency. The
employer should list in detail the procedures to be token by those
employees who hsve been selected 10 remain behind to care for
essential plant operations until their evacuation becomes absolutely
necessary. Essential plant operations may include the monitoring of
plant power supplies, water supplies. and other essential services
which Cannot be shut down for every emergency alarm. Essential
plant operations may also include chemical or manufacturing pro-
cesses which must be shut down in sieges or steps where censin
employees must be present to assure that Safe shut down proce-
dures ore completed.
The designation of refuge or safe areas for evacuo ,;fin should be
determined and identified in the plan. In a building divided into fire
tones by fire walls, the refuge area may still be within the same.
building but in 1 different zone from where the emerpongy occurs.
Exterior refuge or sale areas may include parking lots. open Melds
or Streets which bra located away from the site of the emergency
and which provide sufficient space fo accommodate the employees.
Employees should be instructed to more away from the exit dis-
charge doors of the building, and to avoid congregating close to the
building where they may homper emergency operations.
3. Emergency action plan training. The employer should assure
that an adequate number of employees are available at all times
during working hours to set as evacuation wardens so that
employees can be swiftly moved from the danger location to the
sale areas. Generally, one warden for each twenty employees in
the workplace should be Sble to provide adequate guidance and
instruction at the time of a fire emergency. The employees selected
or who volunteer to serve as wardens should be trained in the
complete workplace layout and the various alternative escape
routes from the workplace. All wardens and fellow employees
should be mode surer• of handicapped employees who may need
unra assistance. such as using the buddy system, and of hszbrdous
areas to be avoided during emergencies. Before leaving, wardens
should check rooms and other encl*W spaces in the workplace for
employees who may be trapped or otherwise unable to evscwte
the area.
Aher the desired degree of evacuation is completed. the wardens
should be able to account for or otherwtse verify that all employees
are in the sate areas.
In buildings with several places of employment, employers are
encouraged to coordinate their plans with the other employers in
the building. A building wide or standardized plan for the whole
building is acceptable provided that the employers inform their
respective employees of their duties and responsibilities under the
plan. The standardized plan need not be kept by each employer in
the multi -employer building, provided there is an accessible locs-
lion within the building where the plan can be reviewed by affected
employees. when multi -employer building•wids plans are not leas -
Ibis, employers Should coordinate their plans with the other
employers within the building to assurs that conflicts and confu-
sion are avoided during times of emergencies. In multi -story build.
ings where more than one employer is on a single floor, it is essen-
tial that these employers coordinate their plans with each other to
avoid conflicts and confusion.
