Toxicity testing for new outfall
NPDES Permit: NC0003417
. Wayne County
Dear Ms. -Moore:
Upon commencement: of discharge (outfall 003), one of the requirements ofalie 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-treatinentsystem--until--such-time-that-add-itional evaluation -and-- - --- - -- - T - -
corrective action can. take place. At the .time of the cessation of discharge, the plant had
not yet taken anyof he 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 9.0 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]:
