1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report was prepared by AEP- Geotechnical Engineering Services (GES) section, in part, to fulfill

requirements of 40 CFR 257.83 and the Ohio Department of Natural Resource (ODNR), Division of Water

Dam Inspection Section and to provide AEP Generation Resources and the Conesville Power Station with

an evaluation of the facility.

Mr. Cyril Burkhart, Landfill Supervisor for the Conesville Plant provided onsite coordination for inspection

activities. The inspection was performed on October 25, 2016 by Brian Palmer of AEP Geotechnical

Engineering. Also onsite for the inspection were Beth Mullen and Tony McClain from the Conesville Plant.

Weather conditions were sunny with temperatures in mid-30̊s F to Lower-60̊s F, the day started foggy and

was clear and sunny at the end of the inspection.

2.0 DESCRIPTIONS OF IMPOUNDMENT

The Ash Pond Complex is comprised of diked embankments on the north, southeast, and south sides.

County Road 273 runs along the toe of the north dike, a Plant haul road run along the top of the north dike,

and a coal haul road runs along the crest or exterior of the Southeast dike. The northwest side of the Ash

Pond Complex is located adjacent to a closed landfill area. There are three main ponds within the Ash

Pond Complex as listed below.

List of Main Ponds within the Ash Pond Complex

Fly Ash Pond

Bottom Ash Pond

Clearwater Pond

The Fly Ash Pond has internal splitter dikes that divide it into areas referred to as Ponds 1, 2, 3, and 4. The

Bottom Ash Pond has an internal splitter dike creating the Bottom Ash Pond and Pond 5. Water enters the

Ash Pond complex through either the Bottom Ash Pond or Pond 1. From the Bottom Ash Pond or Pond 1

water flows through the Ash Pond Complex in order from Pond 2, Pond 3, Pond 4, and Pond 5 before

reaching the Clearwater Pond where it is discharged to the Holding Pond.

The Inspection included the Dike for the Metals Waste Cleaning tank as it is adjacent to the South dike of

the Ash Pond complex

3.0 REVIEW OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION (257.83(b)(1)(i))

A review of available information regarding the status and condition of the Ash Pond Complex, which

include files available in the operating record, such as design and construction information, previous

periodic structural stability assessments, previous 7 day inspection reports, and previous annual inspections

has been conducted. Based on the review of the data there were no signs of actual or potential structural

weakness or adverse conditions.

4.0 INSPECTION (257.83(b)(1)(ii))

4.1 METALS CLEANING WASTE TANK DIKE (NON-CCR)

A visual inspection of the dike for Metals Cleaning Waste Tank was conducted to identify any signs

of distress or malfunction of the secondary containment system. Overall the facility is in good

condition. The secondary containment is functioning as intended with no signs of potential structural

weakness or conditions which would be disruptive to the safe operation of the containment system.

Inspection photos are included in Appendix A. Additional pictures taken during the inspection can be

made available upon request. Figures of the Metals Cleaning Waste Tank are included in Appendix

B.

4.2 ASH POND COMPLEX

4.2.1 CHANGES IN GEOMETRY SINCE LAST INSPECTION (257.83(b)(2)(i))

No modifications have been made to the exterior geometry of the Ash Pond Complex since the 2015

annual inspection. The interior geometry changed with the addition of the splitter dike in the Bottom

Ash Pond creating Pond #5, the abandonment of the old outfall structures from Pond #4 and #5 into

the Clearwater Pond and the installation of new culverts to manage flow through the pond complex.

4.2.2 INSTRUMENTATION (257.83(b)(2)(ii))

The location and type of instrumentation is shown on Figure 7 in Appendix B. The maximum

recorded readings of each instrument since the previous annual inspection is shown in Table 1

below.

4.2.4 VISUAL INSPECTION (257.83(b)(2)(i))

A visual inspection of the Ash Pond Complex was conducted to identify any signs of distress or

malfunction of the impoundment and appurtenant structures. The inspection also included hydraulic

structures underlying the base of the dike. Specific items inspected included all structural elements of

the dam such as inboard and outboard slopes, crest, and toe; as well as appurtenances such as the

outlet structure at the Bottom Ash Pond and Clearwater Pond, and pipe discharge structure.

Overall the facility is in good condition. The impoundment is functioning as intended with no signs of

potential structural weakness or conditions which are disrupting to the safe operation of the

impoundment. Inspection photos are included in Appendix A. Additional pictures taken during the

inspection can be made available upon request. Figures of the Ash Pond Complex are included in

Appendix B.

4.2.5 CHANGES THAT EFFECT STABILITY OR OPERATION (257.83(b)(2)(vii))

Based on interviews with plant personnel and field observations there were no changes to the Ash

Pond Complex since the last annual inspection that would affect the stability or operation of the

impounding structure.

5.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

5.1 GENERAL OBSERVATIONS

The following general observations were identified during the visual inspection:

Metals Cleaning Waste Tank Dike

1) The outboard slopes, crest and inboard slopes of the embankment were generally in good

condition. The embankments did not show any signs of structural weakness or instability. The

vegetation along the embankments was well established. The interior membrane liner

appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The crest did not contain any ruts or other signs of

instability. Specific maintenance and items to monitor are described in the subsequent sections

of this report.

Ash Pond Complex

2) The outboard slopes, crest and inboard slopes of the embankments were generally in good

condition. The embankments did not show any signs of structural weakness or instability. The

vegetation along the embankments was well established. The crest did not contain any ruts or

other signs of instability. Specific maintenance and items to monitor are described in the

subsequent sections of this report.

3) The hydraulic structure from the Clearwater Pond were generally in good condition. There

were no signs of deterioration of the concrete or steel structures. Stop logs were available for

use. Flow within the pipes appeared unobstructed. Specific maintenance and items to monitor

are described in the subsequent sections of this report.

5.2 MAINTENANCE ITEMS

The following maintenance items were identified during the visual inspection, see inspection map for

locations:

Metals Cleaning Waste Tank Dike

1) No specific items identified related to the Metals Cleaning Waste Tank Dike.

Page 8: 2016 Annual Dam and Dike Inspection Report...annual inspection. The interior geometry changed with the addition of the splitter dike in the Bottom Ash Pond creating Pond #5, the abandonment

Pages 7 of 8

Ash Pond Complex

2) The lack of booms around the outlet structure in the Clearwater Pond has allowed floating

debris to enter the Wastewater Holding Pond. Recommend booms around the outlet structure

to minimize the discharge of floating debris to the Wastewater Holding Pond.

3) The Exterior slope of the south dike had an area above the MCWT dike that has been

previously identified for lack of vegetation. (Photo 6) Plant noted that the area has become a

Canadian Geese nesting area which limits the ability to re-establish vegetation. Recommend

deploying deterrents (e.i. erosion control matting) in area to assist with the establishment of

grass.

4) Interior of Southeast slope has former animal borrows and a stabilized erosion gully that are

unable to be mowed (Photo 16). The lack of mowing has allowed woody vegetation to start to

be established. Area needs to have the vegetation removed and the surface repaired to allow

proper mowing.

5) Isolated woody plants (autumn olive) have started to be established on the interior and exterior

(below coal haul road) of the southest dike (Photos 18 & 29). Woody vegetation (primarily

autumn olive) have established along the exterior toe (Photos 29 & 32). Trees become have

established on the embankment above the outfall discharge pipe (Photo 27 & 28). Plant needs

to work to remove the vegetation and clear a path along the toe in compliance with AEP

Circular letter and ODNR Dam Safety Regulations.

6) Abandoned culverts (See Photo 31) under original coal haul road need to be video inspected

and a disposition plan be developed for these culverts in conjunction with the long-term

modification/closure of the Ash Pond Complex.

7) The vegetation in the road side ditch along County Road 273 at the toe of the North dike and the

cattail area at the east end of the North dike need to be maintained.

5.2 ITEMS TO MONITOR

The following items were identified during the visual inspection as items to be monitored, see

inspection map for locations:

Metals Cleaning Waste Tank Dike

1) No specific items identified related to the Metals Cleaning Waste Tank Dike.

Ash Pond Complex

2) Exterior area of the South dike west of MCST dike had tree sapling growing with the grass.

(Photo 2.2). Mowing will control growth, area needs to be monitored and evaluated if more

direct measures need to be taken.

3) Previous inspections have identified the standing water in the road side ditch along County

Road 273 at the toe of the North dike. Clearing of the downstream drainage channel appears

to have eliminated this issue. Continue to monitor toe and ditch for standing water and

coordinate corrective actions as needed.

5.3 DEFICIENCIES (257.83(b)(2)(vi))

There were no signs of structural weakness or disruptive conditions that were observed at the time of

the inspection that would require additional investigation or remedial action. There were no

deficiencies noted during this inspection or any of the periodic 7-day or 30-day inspections. A

deficiency is defined as either 1) uncontrolled seepage, 2) displacement of the embankment, 3)

blockage of control features, or 4) erosion, more than minor maintenance. If any of these conditions

occur before the next annual inspection contact AEP Geotechnical Engineering immediately
