Respondent  must submit a plan in complaince with OSHA standards that ensures the protection of the public health and safety during performance of on-site work.

The respondent is accountable for submitting proposal for post-removal site control consistent with section 300.415and provide EPA with documentation of all post-removalsite control arrangements.

The Respondent is responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive removal Site assessment including ecological, surface water, and sediment assessments and monitoring as determined by the EPA in consultation with NCDENR and VDEQ to determine the extent of any residual contamination remaining in the Dan River to and including the Kerr Reservoir after precleanup activites and the work described above. They are responsible for removing any remaining coal ash from the Dan River from the Steam Release Location at the Site to the Schoolfield Dam located in Danville, VA.

They must provide EPA OSC an engineering report describing he post release containment measures implimented by the Respondent to provide for the structural integrity of the impoundments and storm sewer lines running under primary coal ash basin, and describing the temporary storm water measures approved by NCDENR and impliemted by the Respondent

The Respondent will allow authorized representatives and NCDENR and VDEQ to take split/duplicate samples and notify the EPA at least 10 days before sample collection. .

To keep the energy provider accountable, under the Administrative Settlement Agreement & Order on Consent for Removal Action (AOC) as of May 2014, the Respondent, Duke Energy, was required to submit a number of plans to the EPA including a work, public health, post-removal site control, and engineering plans. The work plan includes description and schedule of actions required by the settlement; the public health plan ensures protection of public health during on-site removal projects; the post-removal site contol provides the EPA with documentation of all post-removal arrangements, and the engineering report describes measures implemented by Duke to improve the structural integrity of post-release impoundments and strom sewer lines running under primary coal ash impondments. Within these plans, Duke is responsible for creating and implementing a Site Assessment that includes but is not limited to ecological analysis, surface water and sediment assessment as well as post-removal monitoring protocols to calculate the extent of pollution in the Dan River in North Carolina and the Kerr Reservior and Schoolfield Dam in Virginia. These assessments were approved by the EPA in consultation with the affected states agencies including North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ). Following the spill and written into the AOC are monitoring protocols in which the EPA with authorize the NCDENR and VDEQ to take split and or dupliate samples to ensure consistent water quality after coal ash removal.

Regarding the initial settlement cost listed above, the EPA sends periodic bills to Duke Energy accounting for direct and indirect costs incurred by the EPA, its contractors, and the Department of Justice.

I plan to talk about the efforts being made to clean up remaining coal ash and entailing agreements/settlements to the state and affected families.

Maxwell- I plan on writing about the background of the coal ash spill and what caused the incident.
