Off-site Notification to South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC).

At approximately 1400 (EST) on 12/4/15, site personnel discovered a sanitary lift station overflowing in the owner controlled area. The overflow entered a nearby storm drain that discharges into Outfall 13. The estimated release volume is between 10-15 gallons. The release has been stopped. At 1448, an initial notification was made to SCDHEC. The overflow appears to be the result of securing electrical power to the general area, including the lift station, to support construction activities. Power has been restored and clean-up is in progress.

The NRC Senior Resident has been notified.
