Subject: Submittal of Results from Water Quality Sampling of Area of Wetness (AOW) at Allen Steam
Station
Dear Mr. Chernikov,
Duke Energy personnel collected a water quality sample of a new AOW at Allen Steam Station on 22
July 2015, and the laboratory report containing the results of the water quality sampling was received on
30 July 2015. Enclosed with this letter are the results of the water quality sampling.
The analysis seems to indicate that the water is influenced by the ash basin.The water of this AOW
originates and pools at the toe of the eastern dike of the ash basin and eventually either evaporates
or percolates into the ground of the ditch at the toe of the eastern dike.The ditch does not provide
enough positive drainage to convey the water to an outlet to the lake.
In accordance with Duke procedures,this AOW will be monitored weekly for changes.
Should you have any questions regarding this submittal or require addition information, please contact
Ross Hartfield at 980-373-6583 or at [e-mail].
