At approximately 1500 hours on February 2, 2014, security officials at the Duke Energy Dan River Steam Station (Facility) located in Eden, North Carolina, noticed liquefied coal ash leaking from a buried storm sewer into the Dan River. According to EPA approximately 39,000 tons of ash and 27 million gallons of ash pond water were released. These releases may have affected reaches of the Dan River in North Carolina and Virginia over many miles downstream and natural resources for which Federal and State agencies may assert trusteeship under Section 107(f) of CERCLA and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan.
