Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Tim Heim and Ted Campbell of the Asheville Regional Office performed a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection on May 30, 2018. Teresa Williams and Chuck Cranford of Duke Energy were present at
the time of the inspection. Ms. Williams is now BORC, and Maria Keezel is ORC and Lab supervisor.
The inspection included a file review as well as a facility inspection of all NPDES Outfalls, including
Outfalls 001, 002, 004, and the FDG and plant domestic effluent to MSD's sewer.
Sample record keeping is thorough and well organized. This facility's NPDES records are also
reviewed with a high level of detail annually by a court appointed auditor.
At the time of the inspection, all treatment units and outfalls appeared to be operating within compliance
to permit NC0000396 and no violations of permit conditions were observed.
The new combined cycle gas turbine units were under construction in the '82 Ash Basin, and work to
remove CCP from the '64 Ash Basin is anticipated to continue for several more years.
