Administrative updates to NPDES permit applications
Dear Mr Poupart
The Asheville Steam Electric Plant submitted a chemical addition administrative update
to the NPDES application in November of 2011. Another update of the Form 2C Item
VI, was submitted with the supplemental application in 2014 and again in 2016. This
update includes a chemical used in the cleaning and maintenance of the process water
reverse osmosis system and may be sent to the ash pond in the reverse osmosis waste
stream The following update to this list represents a replacement of this chemicals due
to product improvements and/or availability
Hypersperse MCD7041
As needed
R O Anti-scalant
(Organic Polymer)
The Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for this chemical is enclosed for your information and
inclusion in the facility's application file Also enclosed is an updated attachment to the
NPDES application entitled "Form 2C Potential Discharges". We do not anticipate any
changes to the permit being necessary based on this submittal. This is being submutted to
update the administrative file. If you have any questions or if you need any, additional
information, please contact Tina Woodward at [phone] or ting woodward@duke-

Skdn protection
Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier
Other Wear suitable protective clothing
Respiratory protection If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits
(where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been
established), an approved respirator must be worn
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary
General hygiene considerations Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and
before eating, drinking, and/or smoking Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to
remove contaminants
