Dear Mr. Overton:
Enclosed are three copies of the 2007 Dan River summary report, as required by Part I.A.(4.) of NPDES
permit No. NCO024406 for Belews Creek Steam Station in Stokes County, North Carolina. The selenium
concentration in fish muscle tissue remained well below the 10 gg/g concentration considered by the
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services as the maximum safe concentration for human
consumption. This annual update continues to indicate no detrimental impact to the aquatic biota in the
Dan River from the discharge of Belews Creek Steam Station ash basin that was initiated in November,
1985.
If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact me at (980)-373-5710.
Sincerely,
/den
Ron Lewis
Water Management
