Upon commencement of discharge (outfall 003), one of the requirements of the facility's
NPDES permit is to collect and analyze 5 discrete toxicity samples within 90 days.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the discharge from this outfall was ceased on February-
1, 2013. Wastewater flows are being segregated and are being maintained onsite in the
facility's cooling pond treatment system until such time that additional evaluation and
corrective action can take place. At the time of the cessation of discharge, the plant had
not yet taken any of the Toxicity samples. It was the intent of the plant staff to take those
samples beginning at a later date after an appropriate shakedown period of the new
wastewater system had occurred. Staff from Progress Energy's Environmental Services
Section have discussed this with staff of the DWQ's Washington Regional office
(WaRO) and have kept that office apprised of the status of the wastewater discharge.
Mr. Robbie Bullock, of the WaRO indicated to us that he had discussed this matter with
you and that we should submit this notification to your office for inclusion -with the
facility's files.
Upon resumption of the discharge to outfall 003, facility staff will complete the
requirement for toxicity sampling within 90 days. It is unknown at this time when the
resumption of discharge will occur however is likely that it will be beyond the 90 days of
the original commencement of discharge.
If you have any questions or if you need any additional information, please contact Steve
Cahoon at [phone].
