Written Follow-up of Oil Sheen On Lake Wylie File: CN-720.01 l i

Dear Mr. Spigner This letter is to provide you written follow-up of our telephone conversation Friday, - .

February 10,1995. As we discussed, a visible oil sheen was noticed in our intake cove j directly below and around our intake structure the evening of Febmary 9,1995.  !

A fire protection pipe on the intake stmeture burst and flowed water over the structure to l the lake until it could be isolated. At the same time work was in progress on the structure i to remove an intake pump for repair, Residual oil from this operation was washed into the  !

lake when the fire protection pipe burst. The amount of oil reaching the lake is estimated to be a pint. j r

As a preventative measure we use two oil booms in this area. One is located around the  ;

intake stmcture itself and the other is located further up the intake cove. The oil caused a l

sheen on the lake which was contained within the boom system. Cleanup operations were l implemented using absorbent pads and pillows. Notifications were made as follows-  !
