Nathan,

We received your request for additional time to review EPA's dra ft reports documenting the wastewater sampling events conducted at Allen Steam Station, Belews Creek Steam Station a nd Miami Fort Station during the period of September 2010 to January 2011. We understand that, due to delays encountered in ma iling, your receipt of this request was delayed. We want to ensure you have the full 30 days from receipt to complete review of the reports and as such will extend the deadline to May 10, 2012.

However, please note that the letter also requested that you indi cate any information in the report that is claimed as CBI and
substantiate such claims at this time. EPA has received a r equest for this information under the Freedom of Information Act. In such circumstances, the regulatory requirement absent extraordina ry circumstances and approval by the Legal Office, is that you must respond within 15 working days of receipt of such a requ est. Your request does not include extraordinary circumstances so we are unable to grant an extension with respec t to CBI claims and substantiation. Therefore, you must provide any CBI claims and substantiation no later than April 30, 2012 as originally requested in our letter.

Please let me know if you have any questions or you can contact Ron J ordan.

Regards,

Rob Wood

Mr. Wood,

On April 9 th , Duke Energy received the draft reports documentin g the wastewater sampling events conducted at Allen Steam Station, Belews Creek Steam Station and Miami Fort Station during the period of September 2010 t o January 2011. You have requested that we review and comment on th e reports by April 30, 2012. We would like to reque st an extension to May 31, 2012 to provide comments on the draft re ports to EPA. Please find attached our formal reque st for an

extension.

In summary, Duke Energy received the draft reports via Fed-Ex on April 9, 2012; Duke Energy, therefore , has 15 business days to conduct a review of the data, and 15 days i s not practical to conduct a review given the amoun t of information provided in each report. In addition, each Duke Ene rgy reviewer has extensive time constraints due to other duties of their respective jobs. Their time, therefore, to devote t o reviewing the reports in the next 15-days may be limited.

Given the fact that Duke Energy has three reports t o review and for the circumstances documented in ou r formal request,

we believe an extension is warranted.

Please contact me if you have any questions or comm ents regarding this request.

Thank you for your time,
