RE: Carolina Power & Light Company
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power.Plant
Wake County, NPDES Permit No. N00039586
Priority Pollutants
Dear Mr. Wilms:
�✓� �� Ste'
In accordance with NPDES Permit NC0039586, Part III, Section L, enclosed
please find the results of the priority pollutants sampling performed at
Carolina Power & Light Company's Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant on June 23
and 24, 1987. Chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, total suspended
solids, and ammonia were inadvertently omitted during the initial sample
analyses. The discharge points were resampled on November 18 and 19, 1987.
Included are the results for the cooling tower blowdown (Serial No. 001) and
low volume waste (Serial No. 004). The metal cleaning waste (Serial No. 003)'
has not discharged since the start-up of the Harris Plant and is, therefore,
not included in this submittal.
The data provided is considered to be .reflective of the quality and quantity�,�
of 'the wastewater discharges ^-as_s :ed with plant � operations at the -time -of --
the\ sampling. The results of the initial low volume waste sample (Serial
No. 004) seems to indicate that the sample was collected during regeneration
of the dem neralizers. No permitted limits were exceeded.'
If you .have any specific questions concerning this submittal, please contact,
J. M. McDowell at 836-6920.

Sample # 138972
Blank I.D.: 139495
Following the conventions established by the EPA for qualifying common laboratory_
artifacts in samples analyzed under -the Contract - Laboratory --Program (CLP) Caucus
Organics Protocols, we have reported the following compound with the "B" foot-
note.
blank
common laboratory artifact concentration units
Methylene Chloride 9 J ug/l
The "B" indicates that this analyte was also detected in the associated Method
Blank (and/or Instrument Blank). This footnote is only used for the common
laboratory solvent, methylene chloride.
When both an Instrument.Blank and a Method Blank are prepared, the "B" footnote
- - is applied to associated sample data if a comnom artifact--is-detected-fn-either
blank: Compositing Blanks are prepared with samples that require compositing of,
all as -received sample containers. Since the entire sample is consumed in the
process, repreparation and reanalysis of a composited sample is not possible.
Therefore, exceptions are made to allowable levels of blank contamination in'such
instances.
The EPA -CLP protocols permit up to 25 ug/l of methylene chloride in volatile
blanks. Our policy is much more stringent for non -CLP requirements. The maxi-
mum�a Towable.. -level for methylene chloride i -n Instr.bm nv';61an'ks is 5 ug/l (2 ug/l
for blanks associated with Lower Detection Limit samples) unless successive blanks
indicate a consistent background level of methylene chloride. The concentration of
methylene chloride in solid Method Blanks may not exceed 25 -ug/kg. - Exceptions to
this pol_cy are made only when sample Holding Times are. -in jeopardy -of being -
exceeded
Data Interpretation: General EPA Guidelines _
In evaluating data usability, the EPA uses certain general guidelines for
assessing the presence of common laboratory artifacts in samples. If the con-
centration of an artifact in a sample is greater than ten times that in the
blank, the blank contribution is considered negligible., If blank and sample con-
centrations are comparable (sample level not greater than twice .the blank level);
the presence of that compound in the sample is considered suspect.

Surrogate Recoveries - Introduced at the -instrument, volatile surrogate -standards
are deuterate an or select compounds that analytically mimic the response of
certain analytes. Known concentrations of these surrogates are added to the sample
and a percent recovery is calculated. This recovery acts as a•barometer of method
efficiency for the individual sample.

Sample # 138974
Blank I.D.: 139495
Following the conventions established by the EPA for qualifying common laboratory
artifacts in samples analyzed under the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) Caucus
Organics Protocols, we have reported the following compound with the "B" foot-
note.
blank
common laboratory artifact concentration units
Methylene Chloride 9 J ug/l
The "B" indicates that this analyte was also detected in the associated Method
Blank (and/or Instrument Blank). This footnote is only used for the common
laboratory solvent, methylene chloride.
When both an Instrument. Blank and a Method Blank are prepared, the "B" footnote
is applied to associated sample -data if a commom artifact is detected in ei-ther
blank. Compositing Blanks are prepared with samples that require compositing of
all as -received sample containers. Since the entire sample is consumed in the
process, repreparation and reanalysis of a composited sample is not possible.
Therefore, exceptions are made to allowable levels of blank contamination in such
instances.
The EPA -CLP protocols permit up to 25 ug/l of methylene chloride in volatile
blanks. Our policy is much more stringent for non -CLP requirements. The maxi-
-.- mom; -allowable. level _,for methd+.l ene-chTori de in Instrument Blanks is 5 ug -/1 (2-_41i-=-
for blanks associated with Lower Detection Limit samples) unless successive blanks
indicate a consistent background level of methylene chloride. The concentration of
_-methylene..chlo,ride An solid Method Blanks may not exceed 25 ug/kg. Exceptions to
this policy are made only when sample Holding Times are in jeopardy of being
exceeded.
Data Interpretation: General EPA Guidelines
In evaluating data usability, the EPA uses certain general guidelines for
assessing the presence of common laboratory artifacts in samples. If the con-
centration of an artifact in a sample is greater than ten times that in the
blank, the blank contribution is considered -negligible. If blank.and sample con-
centrations are comparable (sample level not greater tlari`twice the- blank -level),
the presence ,of that compound in the sample is considered suspect.
