Fish Tissue Monitoring Results

Reference for Station Location Changes
Prior to 2019, Trace Element Fish sampling locations reflected plant operations and river accessibility.
The UP station was located near the site's intake, the DI station near the mouth of Gulf Creek into the
Cape Fear River, and the DN station located below Buckhorn Dam. When NPDES Permit NC0003433 was
modified and issued, the location of Outfall 008 was placed at our historically established UP station.
Therefore, new stations were assigned to reflect this change starting in 2019. Two up stations (UP_D,
UP_H) were assigned above the confluence in the Deep and Haw rivers respectively. The DI station was
moved near Outfall 008 to monitor nearfield TE fish. The DN station below Buckhorn Dam was removed
as historical data had shown no biological effects from plant operations were present.
