On-Site Inspection Report
LABORATORY NAME: Progress Energy Carolinas – H. F. Lee Steam Electric Plant
NPDES PERMIT #: NC0003417
ADDRESS: 1677 Old Smithfield Rd
Goldsboro, NC 27530
CERTIFICATE #: 5066
DATE OF INSPECTION: June 10, 2010

AUDITOR(S): Todd Crawford
LOCAL PERSON(S) CONTACTED: Tommy Hare and Ricky Miller
I. INTRODUCTION:
This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for
the analysis of environmental samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. Technical Assistance documents for
all certified parameters were provided at the time of the inspection.
III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Documentation
Comment: Several instances of improper error corrections were observed. The Quality Assurance
Policies for Field Laboratories document states: All documentation errors must be corrected by drawing
a single line through the error so that the original entry remains legible. Entries shall not be obliterated
by erasures or markings. Wite-Out®, correction tape or similar products designed to obliterate
documentation are not to be used. Write the correction adjacent to the error. The correction must be
initialed by the responsible individual and the date of change documented. All data and log entries
must be written in indelible ink. Pencil entries are not acceptable. This policy was discussed with all
analysts at the time of the inspection and each stated that proper corrections would be made in the
future. No further response is necessary for this finding.
Comment: The benchsheet used for the documentation of the temperature used for regulatory reporting
did not include the units of measure. North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (g) (1)
states: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Certified data must consist of
date collected, time collected, samples site, sample collector, and sample analysis time. The field
benchsheets must provide a space for the signature of the analyst, and proper units of measure for all
analyses. A revised benchsheet which includes units of measure was sent to the auditor prior the
completion of this report. No further response is necessary for this finding.

IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
The paper trail consisted of comparing field testing records and contract lab reports to Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Data were
reviewed for January, February and March, 2010. No transcription errors were detected. The facility
appears to be doing a good job of accurately transcribing data.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
All findings noted during the inspection were adequately addressed prior to the completion of this
report. The inspector would like to thank the staff for its assistance during the inspection and data review
process. No response is required.
