Subject: Request for Comprehensive Soil, Sediment, and Seep Data
Dear Mr. Sideris:
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) transmitted a letter to Duke Energy on July 8, 2016
that requested compilation and submittal of site assessment data in a specific format. An
example data format template was attached to illustrate how groundwater, surface water,
sediment, and seep data were to be compiled. On August 3, 2016, the DWR staff met with Duke
Energy staff to discuss monthly data submittals. During that meeting, it was agreed that Duke
Energy would provide a comprehensive groundwater data summary to the DWR in mid -
September with monthly groundwater data submittal updates thereafter. It was also agreed
during that meeting that Duke Energy would provide a comprehensive soil, sediment, and seep
data summary to the DWR in mid -October, followed by monthly data submittal updates
thereafter. This request was also re -iterated to Duke Energy staff during the September 21, 2016
joint meeting at the DWR Mooresville Regional Office.
As of the date of this letter, the DWR has yet to receive comprehensive soil, sediment, and seep
data from Duke Energy. The Division expects to receive the data as requested in order to facilitate
internal review of site assessment data. Corrective action plans will not be approved until the
Division has these data in a format that can facilitate internal review. Therefore, the DWR requests
this information be submitted by November 30, 2016. The format for the soil, sediment, and seep
data shall follow the same template as the comprehensive groundwater data submittal mentioned
above that was transmitted to Duke Energy on July 8, 2016.
If you have any questions, please contact Steve Lanter at [phone].
