NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, OlL RESPONSE QUESTIONNAIRE VA94326; MAY 1,1994; LOUISA COUNTY, MINERAL, VA VIRGINIA DEO PC #94-3691
Dear Sirs:
Attached is the completed oil response questionnaire in reference to the oil discharge event at North Anna Power Station reported on May 1,1994. Please note that, in our subsequent investigations, it was determined that the quantity of hydraulic oil involved in i
this event, and the quantity which reached the water in the North Anna River, were both much smaller than estimated in our initial reports.
Should you desire additional information or have any questions in this matter, please contact Daniel James at (804) 273-2996.
Sincerely,
- 8. M. Marshall, P.E.
