The following describes any modifications and/or deviations to the applicable test 

methods. If alternative methods were requested, see the attachments for documentation 

of request AND approval, including dates.

Explaination of coal sampling deviation:

SGS collected 4 samples in support of HAPS sampling of SHF Unit 10. The first sample collected on 7/14/10 was 

collected on the ninth floor of Unit 10 from the drag chain conveyor. This coal sample location was the safest and 

the closest location to the unit to collect coal prior to the coal entering the unit. The sample for Run #1 is of coal 

already prepared to feed the unit.

The ambient temperature at this location was 115 degrees Fahrenheit on7/14/10. TVA safety procedure TSP 806 

prevented collecting coal samples on 7/15/10 from this location during the time of sample collection from the duct. 

Rather than wait until the midnight shift to collect coal samples which was not guaranteed to be allowed, I directed 

SGS to collect manual samples from the stockpile as the coal was being reclaimed and fed to the unit. These samples 

were collected according to the guidelines within the ICR with five manually collected shovel samples creating a 

composite sample that was given to field testing group for delivery to the TVA laboratory. The samples were not 

collected according to ASTM standards since the time required for collection would have increased to seven hours, 

which was too long to be on the stockpile in the heat of the day.

Let me know if additional info is needed.
