Dear Ms. Curtin:
l RE:
VA9 6 0214 - 0' - 0 5 - 9 6 - NORTH ANNA POWER STATION s
I As we discussed by telephone with you, we are returning the referenced oil spill questionnaire because no oil was released to state waters.
The event was erroneously reported as a spill, when an amount of lubricating oil between 25 and 45 gallons was j
spilled into the North Anna Power Station Circulating Water Bay i
from the failure of the Unit 1 Circulating Water Pump lubricating oil reservoir.
The Circulating Water Bay is a concrete structure l
which physically separates water in the bay from the nearest l
state waters (Lake Anna).
The only opening to Lake Anna is approximately 10 feet below the surface of the lake to allow lake water to flow into the circulating water system.
The oil was retained on the surface of the water in the Circulating Water Bay, where it was cleaned up the same day, with no possibility of reaching Lake Anna.
No oil was observed on the lake.
If,'ou have any questions, please contact Mr. Kim Puckett at j
(8 34 ) 273-2995.
Sincerely, l
G J.
