ENS 5426711 September 2019 14:04:00In preparation for Hurricane Dorian, the Waste Treatment Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) decided to lower the level in the Waste Treatment Central Lagoon by treating and transferring to Process Lagoons. Piping was damaged and not noticed during a walkdown prior to pumping from waste treatment to the process lagoons. This resulted in water being discharged to the soil. Upon discovery, the water was contained and sampled. Sample results were all below regulatory limits. The pipe was repaired. The NPDES permit requires a report to North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC DWR). This report was made at 10:01 am on 9/11/2019. Because NC DWR was notified, a concurrent notification to the NRC Operations Center is being made per 10 CFR 70, Appendix A(c). The Licensee will be notifying the Region II office.
