Dear Ms Wilson,
As you were informed by Ms. Louise England in an email dated October 1, 2004, two new
chemicals, GEOMELT and BT -930, will be used as anti -icing fluids to treat the coal that is
delivered to Roxboro Steam Electric Plant. The coal will be treated at the rine prior to
shipping to Roxboro Plant. These chemicals will be used only in the winter months at a
rate of approximately 87,000 gallons per month. There is a small potential that some of
these chemicals can be discharged into the coal pile runoff pond via stormwater falling on
the coal pile. The discharge of the coal pile runoff pond (Outfall 006) has an aquatic
toxicity monitoring requirement.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this information, please contact Louise
England at [phone].
I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision to accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted Based on my inquiry of the person or
persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the
