Subject: Weatherspoon's February 2021 Discharge from Outfall 001 FEB / 0 202,
Dear NCDEQ-DWR Regional Supervisor: NCDEQ/D
wivNPDES
In accordance with A. (1) Footnote 1 of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Permit No. NC0005363; we are submitting this written information on the February 1,
2021, discharge from Outfall 001 to the Lumber River. This written information is provided within
ten (10) days of the discharge:
• On January 27, 2021; the Weatherspoon site made verbal and email notification of plans
to exercise the Outfall 001 sluice gate. This maintenance activity will result in a
discharge from the cooling pond to the Lumber River.
• At 11:45 AM on February 1, 2021; NPDES Outfall 001 was opened and started to
discharge.
• At 12:29 PM on February 1, 2021; verbal notification within 24-hours after discharge
event was made to NC DWR-FRO.
• At 12:32 PM on February 1, 2021; verbal notification within 24-hours after discharge
event was made to Ms. Brena Jones, NCWRC. A voicemail was recorded.
• At 12:35 PM on February 1, 2021; verbal notification within 24-hours after discharge
event was made to NC DEQ Permitting Unit.
• We will close NPDES Outfall 001 and stop the discharge once the cooling pond reaches
normal operating level. We estimate this may take approximately 2-3 weeks. We are
lowering the water level slowly since the Lumber River is in flood conditions.
• We will monitor the discharge and provide the data as specified by our NPDES Permit.
• Instream monitoringof the Lumber River will be conducted ducted upstream and downstream
as required by our NPDES permit and reported on the monthly DMR.
If there are any questions, please contact either:
• Mr. Kent Tyndall, EHS Professional for the W. H. Weatherspoon Plant; phone (910) 341-
4775 or e-mail [e-mail]; or
• Ms. Elizabeth Glenn, Environmental Specialist with our Environmental Permitting and
Compliance Group, phone [phone] or email [e-mail].
