In the event that Buyer and Seller cannot promptly agree on the selection of an accounting firm to act as the Independent Accounting Firm, either Party may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint a nationally recognized independent accounting firm, and such appointment shall be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and Seller. Resolution of any disagreements shall be made by the Independent Accounting Firm in a writing addressed to all Parties within thirty (30) days following referral to it by the Parties of such disagreements in accordance with this Agreement. The finding of such Independent Accounting |
20 ______________________________________________________________________________ |

INDEMNIFICATION AND ARBITRATION |
8.1. Indemnification. |
(a) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Representatives (each, a "Seller's Indemnitee"), from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, losses, liabilities, penalties, damages, obligations, payments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in connection therewith) (each, an "Indemnifiable Loss"), asserted against or suffered by any Seller's Indemnitee relating to, resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach by Buyer of any (A) representation and warranty set forth in Article V, or (B) covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement, (ii) the Assumed Liabilities, (iii) any Inspection, (iv) the failure by Buyer to comply with any Law, with respect to the Purchased Assets that are subject thereto or (v) any Third-Party Claim against any Seller's Indemnitee in connection with Buyer's ownership, lease, maintenance, construction, modification or operation of any of the Purchased Assets on or after the Closing Date (other than to the extent such Third-Party Claim constitutes an Excluded Liability); provided, however, that Buyer shall be liable to the Seller's Indemnitees pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.1(a) only for Indemnifiable Losses for which any Seller's Indemnitee gives written notice to Buyer (setting forth with reasonable specificity the nature and amount of the Indemnifiable Loss) during the period for which such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements survive the Closing in accordance with Section 10.6; and provided further that Buyer shall be liable to the Seller's Indemnitees pursuant to clause (i) (A) of this Section 8.1(a) for breaches of representations and warranties (y) only after Indemnifiable Losses for such breaches, in the aggregate, exceed $2,000,000 (provided, however, that once such threshold amount is exceeded, Seller's Indemnitees may recover all Indemnifiable Losses for such breaches incurred from and after the Closing Date without regard to such threshold amount), and (z) only for Indemnifiable Losses for such breaches, in the aggregate up to, but not in excess of, $17,500,000 (other than for breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.5, as to which no such limitations shall be applicable). |
(b) From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Representatives (each, a "Buyer's Indemnitee" and, together with Seller's Indemnitees, an "Indemnitee"), from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses asserted against or suffered by any Buyer's Indemnitee relating to, resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach by Seller of any (A) representation and warranty set forth in Article IV, or (B) covenant or agreement of Seller set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the Excluded Assets and the Excluded Liabilities or (iii) any Third-Party Claim against any Buyer's Indemnitee in connection with Seller's ownership, lease, maintenance, construction, modification or operation of any of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date (other than to the extent such Third-Party Claim constitutes an Assumed Liability); provided, however, that Seller shall be liable to the Buyer's Indemnitees pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.1(b) only for Indemnifiable Losses for which any Buyer's Indemnitee gives written notice to Seller (setting forth with reasonable specificity the nature and amount of the Indemnifiable Loss) during the period for which such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements survive the Closing in accordance with Section 10.6; and provided further that Seller shall be liable to the Buyer's Indemnitees pursuant |
41 ______________________________________________________________________________ |
to clause (i)(A) of this Section 8.1(b) for breaches of representations and warranties (y) only after Indemnifiable Losses for such breaches, in the aggregate, exceed $2,000,000 (provided, however, that once such threshold amount is exceeded, Buyer's Indemnitees may recover all Indemnifiable Losses for such breaches incurred from and after the Closing Date without regard to such threshold amount), and (z) only for Indemnifiable Losses for such breaches, in the aggregate, up to, but not in excess of, $17,500,000 (other than for breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5, as to which no such limitations shall be applicable). |
(c) In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the provisions set forth in Section 8.1(a), Buyer, for itself and on behalf of its Representatives, hereby irrevocably releases, holds harmless and forever discharges Seller from any and all Indemnifiable Losses of any kind or character, whether known or unknown, contingent or accrued, arising under or relating to Environmental Laws, or relating to any claim in respect of any Environmental Condition or Hazardous Substance, whether based on common law or Environmental Laws, relating to the Purchased Assets, other than Excluded Liabilities (collectively, "Environmental Claims"). In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer, for itself and on behalf of its Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights and benefits with respect to such Environmental Claims that it now has, or in the future may have conferred upon it by virtue of any Law or common law principle, which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which a party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have materially affected such party's settlement with the obligor. In this connection, Buyer hereby acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it may have given, or hereafter may give, rise to Environmental Claims that have not been made prior to the date of this Agreement, and will not be made prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer further agrees that this release set forth in this Section 8.1(c) has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that awareness, and Buyer, for itself and on behalf of its Representatives, nevertheless hereby intends irrevocably to release, hold harmless and forever discharge Seller from all such Environmental Claims. |
(d) The rights and remedies of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Article VIII are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which Seller and Buyer may have under this Agreement, under applicable Law, whether at common law or in equity, including for declaratory, injunctive or monetary relief, in each case, with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss. |
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Person (including an Indemnitee) shall be entitled to recover from any other Person (including any Party required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an "Indemnifying Party")) any amount in excess of the actual compensatory damages, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees suffered by such Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller hereby irrevocably waive any right to recover punitive, indirect, special, exemplary and consequential damages arising in connection with or with respect to this Agreement (other than with respect to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim). |
(f) Any Indemnitee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate all losses, damages and the like relating to a claim under the indemnification provisions in this |
42 ______________________________________________________________________________ |
Section 8.1, including availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. For purposes of this Section 8.1(f), the Indemnitee's Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall include the reasonable expenditure of money to mitigate or otherwise reduce or eliminate any Indemnifiable Loss for which indemnification would otherwise be due, and, in addition to its other obligations hereunder, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnitee for the Indemnitee's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in undertaking such mitigation, reduction or elimination. |
8.2. Defense of Claims. |
(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any Indemnifiable Loss or of the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not an Indemnitee (a "Third-Party Claim") with respect to which indemnification is to be sought from an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the Indemnitee's receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim. Such notice shall describe the nature of the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount, if practicable, of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be incurred by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnitee, to elect to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party's expense and by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it, provided that, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall not agree to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or any compromise or settlement of, any Third-Party Claim. |
(b) If the Indemnifying Party undertakes, conducts and controls the conduct and settlement of such action or suit, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not thereby permit to exist any Encumbrance upon any asset of the Indemnitee; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a complete release from Liability with respect to such action or suit to the Indemnitee; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnitee to participate in such conduct or settlement at such Indemnitee's expense and by such Indemnitee's counsel. |
(c) Subject to Section 8.3, any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not constitute a Third-Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, in no event later than forty (40) Business Days after the Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim, stating the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and indicating the estimated amount, if practicable, of such Indemnifiable Loss. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of forty (40) Business Days within which to respond to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond during such forty (40) Business Day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim and, subject to this Article VIII, shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the Indemnifiable Losses set forth in the Indemnitee's notice. |
43 ______________________________________________________________________________ |
(d) A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Section 8.2 shall not affect the rights or obligations of any Party hereunder except to the extent that the Party which was entitled to receive such notice was actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. |
8.3. Arbitration. |
(a) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in the event of any dispute between Seller and Buyer arising after the Closing (whether relating to facts, events or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after the Closing Date) and relating to, resulting from or arising out of any provision of this Agreement (other than disputes arising under Article II or Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 6.5, 8.1(a)(ii) or 8.1(b)(ii)), including with respect to Direct Claims and Third Party Claims, the Party asserting such dispute shall give written notice |
to the other of the fact that a dispute has arisen pursuant hereto. Such notice shall include (i) a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the facts, events, circumstances, evidence and arguments underlying such dispute and (ii) proposed arrangements for a meeting to attempt to resolve the dispute to be held within sixty (60) days after such notice is given. Within thirty (30) days after such notice is given, the other Party hereto shall submit to the Party giving such notice a written summary responding to such statement of facts, events, circumstances, evidence and arguments contained in the notice and an acceptance of or proposed alternative to the meeting arrangements set forth in the initial notice. |
(b) The chief executive officers (or any other executive officer or officers directly reporting to, or duly designated by, such chief executive officers) of each of the Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place to attempt to settle any dispute in good faith; provided, however, that such meeting shall be held at the principal offices of the Party receiving the notice of dispute unless otherwise agreed; and provided further, that any such meeting shall be held no later than sixty (60) days after the written notice of dispute is given pursuant to Section 8.3(a). Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to preparation for, attendance at and participation in such meeting. |
(c) In the event that (i) a meeting has been held in accordance with Section 8.3(b), (ii) any such dispute of the kind referred to in Section 8.3(a) shall not have been resolved at such meeting and (iii) the aggregate amount in dispute exceeds $100,000, then either Party may submit such dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Commercial Arbitration Rules"). In the event that such dispute is submitted to arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules, then the arbitration tribunal shall be composed of three arbitrators (one arbitrator selected by each Party within thirty (30) days after the meeting held in accordance with Section 8.3(b) with the third selected by the other two arbitrators or, in the absence of agreement between them, the American Arbitration Association), the venue of the arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware, the language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration shall commence no later than sixty (60) days after the meeting held in accordance with Section 8.3(b). The decision, judgment and order of the arbitration tribunal shall be final, binding and conclusive as to the Parties and their respective Representatives, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Other than the fees and expenses of the arbitrators, which shall be shared equally by the Parties, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) relating to the arbitration. |

NOTICE |
Pursuant to Section 512(b) of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P.S. ��.512(b) ("HSCA") and Section 405 of the Pennsylvania Solid Waste Management Act, 35 P.S. ��.405 ("SWMA"), and based on deed disclosures contained in deeds related to the property and/or transferring the property into Grantor and the reports referenced below, Grantor acknowledges that "hazardous substances" or "hazardous waste," as defined in the HSCA and the SWMA, may have been disposed of on the property described in this deed prior to or during the Grantor's ownership thereof. The approximate locations and areas affected by such hazardous substances or hazardous wastes are described in the above-referenced documents, which are incorporated herein by reference, and include the following: |
D-1 ______________________________________________________________________________ |
· |
Asbestos insulation and other asbestos containing materials have been disposed in the active Stage II On-site ash disposal landfill (Parcel A) (pursuant to PaDEP solid waste permit #300876). Additional information regarding the quantities and locations within the landfill of such disposal is in the possession of the PaDEP. |
· |
Wastewater treatment sludges which may contain hazardous substances were removed during cleaning of the various on-site wastewater impoundments and disposed of in either Stage I or Stage II of the on-site ash disposal landfill (Parcel A) (PaDEP solid waste permit #300876) via blending with fly ash and bottom ash, prior to final placement and compaction. Filling of the Stage I portion of the landfill has been completed. Similar materials generated at the Xxxxxx Generating Station have been land-filled in the Stage II on-site ash disposal landfill. Concentrations of metals have been detected in the soils and groundwater in this area. |
· |
Bottom Ash which may contain hazardous substances has been utilized at the site for the construction of roadways and structural fills in low lying areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, the outside storage area west of the Unit #2 crane bay (Parcel B), the area around the ash haul contractor buildings (Parcel C), the outside storage area south of the coal yard office and rotary car dumper (Parcel D), the outside storage and parking area southwest of the coal pile and inside the drainage ditch (Parcel E), the area north of the intake clarifier (Parcel F), and the truck parking area west of the main sub yard (Parcel G). |
· |
Four unlined active ash ponds (also known as station filter ponds or wastewater storage impoundments) (Parcel H) have been used for the storage of high and low pH waste waters prior to final treatment, and as a collection point for various chemical spills of sulfuric acids and caustic soda (all of the spills were subsequently remediated). |
· |
The electric generation and transmission equipment at the site has, at times, included equipment with dielectric fluids which contained polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Spillage of these fluids may have occurred in these areas (Parcels T-Sub, T-I and T-2). Soil sampling in the substation area (Parcel T-Sub) did not detect concentrations of PCBs. |
· |
Spills of used oils have occurred at or near the mobile and stationary operating equipment and storage tanks associated with the electric generating facility, including, but not limited to, air compressors, fans, xxxxx, and seal oil systems. The spills were remediated utilizing one or more of the following collection methods: oil absorbent materials, bulk collection of free oils, or mechanical removal of residual materials including soils and water. Residual materials were generally disposed through either off-site disposal services or incineration in the utility boilers. The Phase I Environmental Assessment specifically noted evidence of staining on the concrete pad in the Used Oil Storage area near the aboveground waste oil storage tanks. |
· |
Cooling tower waters which may have contained hazardous substances, including sodium hypochlorite and bromide, were discharged to the Cooling Tower Desilting Basin. |
· |
On February 6, 1978, a bushing failure on the I C Main Transformer caused 11,250 gallons of transformer oil containing concentrations of approximately |
D-2 ______________________________________________________________________________ | |
1 part per million of PCBs to be spilled into the gravel pit below the transformer (Parcel T-2). Residual materials were removed and disposed off-site. | |
· |
On June 18, 1986, 8000 gallons of transformer oil containing concentrations of approximately .5 parts per million of PCBs was spilled in Parcel T-2 as a result of a fire and subsequent rupture of the "C" Main Transformer (EPA reference #3HW22). The bulk of the spilled oil was captured in emergency containment tanks, but some material was discharged into the Conemaugh River. Oil booms were utilized to contain and remove free liquids and affected soils were excavated and disposed off-site. |
· |
In April and October of 1991, spills of electro hydraulic control (EHC) fluid in the station basement area resulted in small amounts of the material reaching the active ash ponds. (Parcel H). EHC fluid is heavier than water and should have been integrated into the ponds' sludge materials that were subsequently disposed in the Stage II portion of the on-site ash disposal landfill (Parcel A). |
· |
Fly ash and bottom ash which may contain hazardous substances were disposed of in impoundments, now closed. (Parcel J). |
· |
In June of 1996, approximately 7300 gallons of Sodium Hypochlorite and 1000 gallons of Sodium Bromide were spilled in the vicinity of the Unit #1 Cooling Tower Bleach pump (Parcel K). Affected soils were removed and disposed of in the Stage II portion of the on-site ash disposal landfill. |
· |
Groundwater sampling in the area of the coal pile runoff ditch detected concentrations of metals and sulfates. |
· |
Herbicides have been used to control the growth of vegetation across the site at various times including, but not limited to, the areas within the main fuel oil storage tanks' spill containment in the Main Oil Tank area, and the substation area (Parcel T-Sub) and underneath the transmission lines. |
· |
On February 1, 2005, approximately 100 gallons of Ferric Chloride overflowed from the River Ferric Chloride tank (#046A). Plant personnel accompanied the load to the tank and to determine if the tank had sufficient space. During the unloading, the tank overflowed due to insufficient space in the tank. It was later found that the load was to be delivered at the Xxxxxx Generating Station, however there was no clear markings as such on the xxxx of lading. The overflow material was contained on the ground around the tank with all contaminated soils subsequently removed and disposed offsite. |

In December 2000, approximately 200 gallons of sodium hydroxide overflowed from tank 009A into a contained area. The spill was contained within the tank curbing of the wastewater treatment system. It is believed that the tank overflowed during a chemical delivery. The tank containment area was cool enough that the sodium hydroxide solution had begun to freeze and solidify. Cleanup contractor, XxXxxxxxxx Enterprises, washed spilled material into the wastewater treatment system batch tank for neutralization and subsequent discharge via the appropriate NPDES discharge outfall. |
· |
In June 1996, 7,200 gallons of sodium hypochlorite and 1,000 gallons of sodium bromide leaked to soil at the Unit 1 cooling tower. Vegetation was observed distressed from the release. The leak was remediated by an outside spill response contractor. Between 4 and 8 inches of soil was excavated from the impacted area |

and a sump was excavated to collect the liquid product. The storm water sewer system was impacted by the release. A vacuum truck pumped the liquid from the storm drainage trench, which was closed from the discharge to the Conemaugh River. The Conemaugh River was reportedly not affected by the release. | |
· |
In August 1996, approximately 1,100 gallons of No. 2 Fuel Oil leaked from the auxiliary boiler supply vent valve. The surrounding soil was impacted. The free product was reportedly absorbed; soil and rock was excavated to a depth of 10 inches, an oil water separator was pumped and cleaned, and oil skimmers were placed on the discharge pond. |
· |
In November 1999, approximately 1 gallon of lubricating oil was discharged to the Conemaugh River via the station's condenser flood water back-up sump. This sump is designed to pump various plant drains to facility water treatment systems. In this instance a main condenser was being drained and the drainage flow exceeded the pumping station's capacity. Oil in the water was entrained when traveling through parts of this drainage path. Water flow to this location was stopped as soon as the discharge was noted and absorbent dams were immediately placed in the overflow stream. Pumping capacity was increased and flow was implemented to make future overflow unlikely. |
· |
In June 2000, 20 to 25 gallons of Cooling Tower Biocide (active ingredient dedecylguanidine hydrochloride, CAS No. 13590-97-1) was spilled when a measuring container overflowed. The spilled material initially contacted the tank's surrounding concrete pad, then ran onto the surrounding soil and catch basin that discharges to the cooling tower desilting basin, which is used as a source of makeup water for the FGD (scrubber) System. The majority of the spilled material was cleaned up using a vacuum truck and emptied back into the cooling water system for use as a treatment chemical. The remainder was washed into the desilting basin where it was consumed as a makeup water source for the scrubber. |

Pursuant to Section 512(b) of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P.S. ��.512(b) ("HSCA") and Section 405 of the Pennsylvania Solid Waste Management Act, 35 P.S. ��.405 ("SWMA"), and based on deed disclosures contained in deeds related to the property and/or transferring the property into Grantor and the reports referenced below, Grantor acknowledges that "hazardous substances" or "hazardous waste," as defined in the HSCA and the SWMA, may have been disposed of on the property described in this deed prior to or during the Grantor's ownership thereof. The approximate locations and areas affected by such hazardous substances or hazardous wastes are described in the above-referenced documents, which are incorporated herein by reference, and include the following: |
· |
Asbestos insulation, and other asbestos containing materials, have been disposed in the active East Valley Ash landfill (Parcel A) pursuant to PaDEP solid waste permit #300837. Additional information regarding the quantities and locations within the landfill of such disposal is in the possession of the PaDEP. |
· |
Wastewater treatment sludges which may contain hazardous substances were removed during cleaning of the various on-site wastewater impoundments and were disposed of at the active East Valley Ash landfill (Parcels A) and the closed (in 1985) Old Ash Landfill (Parcel B) pursuant to PaDEP solid waste permits #300837 and #300515 via blending with fly ash and-bottom ash prior to final placement and compaction. Soil and groundwater sampling in the vicinity of Parcels A and B detected concentrations of metals. |
· |
The electric generation and transmission equipment at the site has, at times, included equipment with dielectric fluids which contained polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Spillage of these fluids may have occurred in these areas (Parcels F, G, and H). A soil sample taken in the substation area (Parcel F) detected concentrations of PCBs of .028 parts per million. |
· |
Spills of used oils which may have contained hazardous substances have occurred at or near the mobile and stationary operating equipment and storage tanks associated with the electric generating facility, including, but not limited to, air compressors, fans, xxxxx, and seal oil systems. The spills were remediated utilizing one or more of the following collection methods: oil absorbent materials, bulk collection of free oils, or mechanical removal of residual materials including soils and water. Residual materials were generally disposed through either off-site disposal services or incineration in the utility boilers. |
· |
Two unlined wastewater storage impoundments (Parcel C) have been used for the storage of high and low pH waste waters prior to final treatment. |
· |
Three closed settling ponds (Parcels I, J, and K) formerly received storm water runoff which may have contained hazardous substances. |
· |
On June 9, 1983, approximately 10 gallons of transformer oil which contained less than 50 parts per million PCBs spilled from a generator start-up transformer in the substation area (Parcel F) while a valve was being changed. The residual materials were contained and disposed of off-site. |
· |
On March 28, 1990, 300 gallons of Vertan boiler cleaning solution (a chelant) was spilled into the site storm drain system. The material was contained and neutralized in the facility's wastewater systems. |
E-2 ______________________________________________________________________________ | |
· |
On February 23, 1993, approximately 400 gallons of sodium hypochlorite was spilled on to the soil surrounding the Unit #2 Circulating Water Pumphouse (Parcel D). The material was cleaned up using absorbents and the affected material was disposed off-site. |
· |
On May 26, 1995, 280 gallons of Sodium Nitrate leaked into the Station floor drain system and was eventually treated at the Industrial Waste Treatment Plant prior to discharge pursuant to an NPDES permit.Herbicides have been used to control the growth of vegetation across the site at various times including, but not limited to, the areas within the main fuel oil storage tanks' spill containment, and within the substation (Parcel F) and underneath the transmission lines. |
· |
On April 19, 0000, Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx leachate leaked from the force main to the IWTP. A report was filed with the PADEP. The leak was repaired and limestone barriers were installed in the runoff ditch. |
· |
On February 7-10, 2004, 2,000 gallons of sodium hypochlorite was leaked over a four day period from the Unit 2 hypochlorite tank. The release was through the Xxxx 0 circulating water system. The circulating water system was isolated to let the chlorine volatize off so no further impact could occur. A report was called into the PADEP at Southpoint. |
· |
On March 15, 2003, less than 100 gallons of turbine lube oil was discharged from the used oil conditioning skid during a skid malfunction. 1297 gallons of waste oil and water were cleaned from the low-volume inlet ponds and properly disposed. A 55 gallon drum of spent absorbent material was also disposed. |
· |
In June 2002, 2 gallons of sodium hydroxide was spilled when a tanker was attempting to off load to a storage tank. While depressurizing the tanker, the material was released. Clean up consisted of washing the area down with water. All material drained to the RCRA pit at the IWTP where they were neutralized. |
· |
In March 2002, a vacuum truck struck the spare main transformer resulting in an estimated 500 gallon oil loss. A moat of plastic and timbers was constructed to contain the oil, which was pumped into portable totes. KPP's emergency responder responded to the incident and removed the oil and contaminated gravel. The remaining oil in the transformer was off loaded into tankers. The oil that was not captured and pumped into totes was later removed from the underground transformer tanks. |
· |
In February 2002, less than 5 gallons of a 50/50 blend of di-ethylene glycol and water was spilled when a connection from the U2A de-icing tank was leaking. When the leak was discovered, an isolation valve was closed preventing additional leakage. Oil dry was used to absorb the material, which was then disposed of. |
· |
In March 2000, an oil spill occurred at the peaking diesel station. The spill was estimated to be approximately 300 gallons of No. 2 fuel oil. The spill was the result of a vent valve left open in the unloading area. The spill was contained within a canal with the exception of a small amount of oil that bypassed the canal and entered the storm water outfall. Xxxxx Environmental was called to clean up the canal and outfall areas. The spill was reported to the required regulatory agencies. |
E-3 ______________________________________________________________________________ | |
· |
In February 1998, a hydraulic line ruptured in the coal pile area on an auger raise/lower control. Approximately 7 gallons of hydraulic oil was released to the soil. Absorbent pads and granular absorbent was used to remediate the spill. Visibly impacted soil was excavated for disposal. |
· |
In November 1998. a scraper operating in the southern soil stockpile overturned releasing 2 gallons of oil and diesel fuel. Absorbent pads were used to remediate the spill. Visibly impacted soil was excavated and incinerated. |
