Environmental A fish kill was discovered yesterday afternoon along the bank of the creek that
feeds the "frog Pond" at Buck. Notification was made to Mooresville Office of NCDENR DWQ and to the NCWC
officer. DWQ did not indicate any further actions from us except that they requested. We monitor DO and PH
for a few days and to inform them if the fish kill increased. It is our SME's opinion that the Propylene Glycol spill
that occurred at the CC last week is the root cause of the kill. There were approximately 500 to 1000 dead small
sun fish along the bank. No enforcement action is anticipated based on the conversation with the personnel at
the Mooresville Office. (this was from the Combined Cycle site that occurred earlier in the week)
Dan River Status - No Safety, HPI, unit issues, or high risk work.
