Subject: Quantification of Valid Background Groundwater Data - W.H. Weatherspoon
Power Plant
Proposed Preliminary Background Threshold Values (PPBTVs) for groundwater will be
calculated for CAMA assessment constituents identified with concentrations greater than the 2L
or IMAC at the W. H. Weatherspoon Power Plant (Site). A summary of background well
analytical results was originally presented in the Weatherspoon Corrective Action Plan Part 1
submitted on November 2, 2015 and updated in the CSA Supplement 1 submitted July 7, 2016.
Table 1 provides a summary of existing background well data for each flow system and
indicates which samples are considered for use in statistical calculations to determine
concentrations of naturally occurring (background) inorganic constituents in groundwater.
Additional sampling has been conducted since August 2016 that can be used to augment the
dataset provided herein once available. The following discussion quantifies the number of
valid results to date within each flow zone.
BACKGROUND WELL DATA ANALYSIS
The current background monitoring well network consists of wells installed within three flow
zones; surficial groundwater (upper unconfined), Lower Yorktown formation (lower
unconfined), and Pee Dee aquifer (first confined). Samples from these wells must meet the
following criteria to be considered valid for determining PPBTVs:
47 Sample pH is less than or equal to (<) 8.5 standard units (S.U.);
Sample turbidity is less than or equal to (<) 10.0 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs);
and
47" Result is not a statistical outlier identified for background sample data collected through
April 2016 (SynTerra, July 7, 2016; CSA Supplement 1).
Professional judgement can be used to retain data that does not meet these criteria (such as pH);
however, the decision to retain data that does not satisfy these criteria must be documented.
For Weatherspoon, there are no exceptions to the valid groundwater sample criteria.
SURFICIAL GROUNDWATER
Background wells screened in surficial groundwater are:
10 MW-1
,7 CCR-101-BG
`7 BW-1
167 BW-2S
`1 BW-3S

Surficial groundwater wells MW-1 and BW-1 were installed in December 1989 and August
2010, respectively. Well BW-1 is the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
compliance monitoring background well. Both wells were installed between the ash basin to
the east and a former auto salvage yard to the west (Figure 1). Statistical analyses will be
conducted on BW-1 and MW-1 groundwater data to determine whether water quality at either
well has been influenced by anthropogenic sources. For the purposes of this technical memo,
these wells are considered background wells. If the statistical analyses indicate that either well
is influenced by anthropogenic sources, the data from these wells will not be used in the
calculation of PPBTVs.
Surficial Groundwater Background Wells MW-1, BW-1, BW-2S, BW-3S and CCR-101-BG
As indicated by the sample count shown on Table 1, the minimum number of valid background
samples necessary to conduct statistical analysis is satisfied for all parameters. This assessment
does not take into consideration the potential for statistical outliers for samples collected since
August 2016.
Surficial Groundwater Background Wells MW-1, BW-2S, BW-3S and CCR-101-BG
As indicated by the sample count shown on Table 1, the minimum number of background data
necessary to conduct statistical analysis is satisfied for all parameters. This assessment does not
take into consideration the potential for statistical outliers for samples collected since August
2016.
Surficial Groundwater Background Wells BW-2S, BW-3S and CCR-101-BG
As shown by the sample counts in Table 1, the minimum number of valid background samples
necessary to run statistics is satisfied for some but not all parameters. At least two more
sampling events will be necessary to collect the minimum number of samples to calculate
PPBTVs for the radium and uranium constituents.
Surficial groundwater was most recently sampled during the second week of December 2016.
Data from this sampling event is not included in Table 1. It is projected that the minimum
number of background data necessary to conduct statistical analysis on the radium and
uranium constituents would be achieved in February 2017 based upon a two month sampling
frequency. This projection does not take into consideration the potential for statistical outliers
for samples collected since August 2016.
LOWER YORKTOWN GROUNDWATER
Two background wells (BW-2I and BW-3I) are screened in the Lower Yorktown formation. The
Lower Yorktown background data set does not satisfy the requirements for the minimum
number of samples to conduct statistical analysis for all constituents. It is projected that the
minimum number of background data necessary to conduct background statistical analysis for
radium and uranium constituents will be achieved in August 2017 based upon a two month

sampling frequency. This projection does not take into consideration the potential for statistical
outliers for samples collected since August 2016.
Groundwater samples eliminated from the background data set include:
47, Elevated turbidity in 7 out of 8 BW-2I samples.
47, Elevated turbidity in 3 out of 7 BW-3I samples.
PEE DEE GROUNDWATER
Two background wells (BW-2D and BW-3D) are screened in the Pee Dee aquifer. The Pee Dee
background data set does not satisfy the requirements for the minimum number of samples to
conduct statistical analysis for all constituents. It is projected that the minimum number of
background data necessary to conduct background statistical analysis for radium and uranium
constituents will be achieved in August 2017 based upon a two month sampling frequency.
This projection does not take into consideration the potential for statistical outliers for samples
collected since August 2016.
Two BW-2D groundwater samples were eliminated from the background data set due to
elevated pH (Table 1).

Prepared by: VTV Checked by: ZHG
Notes:
Red text indicates samples not used in determination of provisional preliminary background threshold values (PPBTVs) - eliminated due to pH > 8.5 or turbidity >10 NTU or or pH and/or turbidity not measured
= Bald highlighted concentration indicates exceedance of the 15A NCAC 02L .0202 Standard, the IMAC, or the NC DHHS Screening Level for chromium VI. (Effective date for 15A NCAC 02L .0202 Standard and IMAC is April 1, 2013)
_ = Value eliminated as outlier (through April 2016 analytical results)
NTU = Nephelometric turbidity unit mg/L = Milligram per liter ND = Not Detected
ug/L = Microgram per liter pCi/I = picocuries per liter mg - N/L = Milligram nitrogen per liter
S.U. = Standard Unit NA = Not analyzed NM = Not measured
= NC DHHS Health Screening Level.
< = Concentration not detected at or above the reporting limit
* = Interim Maximum Allowable Concentrations (IMACs) of the 15A NCAC 02L Standard, Appendix 1, April 1, 2013.
B = Target analyte detected in method blank at or above the reporting limit. Target analyte concentration in sample is less than 1OX the concentration in the method blank. Analyte concentration in sample could be due to blank contamination.
B2 = Target analyte was detected in blank(s) at a concentration greater than 1/2 the reporting limit but less than the reporting limit. Analyte concentration in sample is valid and may be used for compliance purposes.
D3 = Sample was diluted due to the presence of high levels of non -target analytes or other matrix Interference.
j = Estimated concentration above the adjusted method detection limit and below the adjusted reporting limit.
