""OORGSVILLErRRp DNP �L OFFICE Subject: Owner Affiliation and Facility Contacts for North Carolina NPDES Correspondence Duke Energy NPDES Permitted Facilities Dear Mr. Poupart: As discussed with you by Richard Baker and Shannon Langley on July 5, 2017, Duke Energy has recently noted an increased number of documents and correspondence from your agency being directed to the attention of incorrect staff persons for our NPDES permitted facilities. A few recent examples include the annual NPDES inspection report for the Mayo Steam Station and a Notice of Violation for the Cape Fear plant being sent to the Vice President of Harris Nuclear Plant; as well as correspondence for the Allen Steam Station sent to the South Carolina Director of Environmental Policy. In each.case; this has led to delays in the permitted facility receiving information and impacts our ability to provide time sensitive responses to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Duke staff have discussed this situation with DEQ staff in the central and various regional offices. Based on our conversations and' a review of information captured in your BIMS system, we believe the best way to address. this is with the following included information: 1. A single name/ownership change form to request that the "owner affiliation" for entities Duke Energy Progress, LLC (DEP) and Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC(DEC) be updated with my contact information: There appear to be numerous obsolete contacts listed as "owner contact persons" in your BIMS database- that field can be updated to include my name and the'othem removed. 2. The "permit billing contact person" should be updated for all. facilities to name Cynthia Winston, Manager; 410 S. Wilmington Street, NCRH15, Raleigh NC 27601. She can be reached at (919)546-5538 and cynthia.winston@duke-enerey.com. 3. The "facility contact person" for each facility should reflect the Station Manager at the site. A list of current Station Managers for all DEP and DEC facilities is attached to this correspondence. 4. The fields for "permit contact person" and "persons with signatory authority" have been recently updated as partof the a-dmr registration process and appear.accurate as of this time. Based on this information, I would envision that general correspondence applicable to more than one Duke Energy facility, such as groundwater information or other programmatic issues, should be directed Mr. Jeff Poupart August 4, 2017 to my attention, while station specific communication should be directed to the Station Manager for the site. Duke Energy will continue to routinely update the DEQ in a timely manner when facility contacts change. If you think it would be helpful, we would be available to meet with your staff to discuss the best way to assure accurate delivery of correspondence. We are providing copies of this letter to each of the regional office supervisors responsible for NPDES permit oversight. If there are any questions relating to this request please contact Anne Pifer at (980)-373-1609 or at anne.pifer@duke-enerev.com.

Proceed to the end of SR 1501 and turn left on SR 1500 (Lookout Dam Rd.). The Dam is located at the end of SR 1500. 6. Discharge point(s), list for all discharge points*: Latitude: 350 45' 26" Longitude: 810 05' 23" USGS Quad No.: D 14 SE *Due to the fact that the three outfalls at this facility are in relative close proximity to each other, this is an approximation of the latitude/longitude of all three outfalls. 7. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: Catawba River a. Classification: WS-IV, B CA b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba 030832 C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The Hydro Station is located on the main channel of the Catawba River. Downstream uses consist of primary and secondary recreation with frequent bodily contact. There are no other known dischargers and/or drinking water supply intakes for a distance of several miles below the existing point of discharge. Page Two PART H - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. Volume of Wastewater: outfall 001- 0.0864.MGD (20 gpm from the Lube Oil Coolers and 40 gpm of Bearing Cooling water); outfa11002 - 0.1008 MGD (20 gpm from the Lube Oil Coolers and 50 gpm of Bearing Cooling water); outfall 003 - 0.1008 MGD (20 gpm from the Lube Oil Coolers and 50 gpm of Bearing Cooling water). These flows are based on the power generation units running at maximum capacity. 2. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: None expected (biocidal additives are not used at this facility). PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION 1. Compliance history: This facility has a good compliance history. 2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, operates a hydroelectric dam on the Catawba River (constructed in 1915), which generates electric power used throughout Duke's service area. Complex electrical generation machinery exists at this facility that requires cooling water during operation. This cooling water is characterized as lube oil cooling water and bearing cooling water, which is used to lubricate the turbine shaft during facility operation. Pending a final review by the NPDES General Permits Unit, reissuance of a Certificate of Coverage appears to be_ appropriate based on the existing wastewater sources. of Report Preparer 9 Water Quality Regional Supervisor Date hAdsr\dsr12Uookoutshoa1s.doc Reo AT NCDENR .�i faorw . �MEK OF FHyino iniT ANn HMMAJ, nFiO.P3:F5 Division of Water Quality / Water Quality Section National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NCG500000 FOR AGENCY USE ONLY Date Received Year Mondt Da Certificate of Covers e N Check # Amount Permit Assipned to NOTICE OF INTENT 5_001ZO National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for coverage under General Permit NCG500000: Non -contact cooling water, boiler blowdown, cooling tower blowdown, condensate, and similar point source discharges RECEIVED (Please print or type) DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY 1) Mailing address of owner/operator: Company Name Owner Name Street Address City MAR 5 2012 >i�u Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC C—LiC PIONMOORF� flat I � REGIONAL OFFICE Allen'Stowe -Water Management 526 South Church Street, Interoffice - EC13K Charlotte Telephone No. (704) 382-4309 S �} ` Address to which all permit corres/pondlrieriV9be mailed 2) .

These letters summarized findings for Lookout Shoals and Oxford hydroelectric facilities, which were inspected by your office on September 1, 2009. The deficiencies cited were identical for both facilities. These deficiencies and our responses are listed below: "The facility ,is sampling oil and grease using a plastic container." Response - No oil and grease samples were collected in a plastic container. The plastic sampling appartatus, which is weighted, actually holds the -glass bottle which is lowered into the water to obtain the sample. This sampling is performed per 40 CFR 136. "No downstream monitoring has been performed since 2.27.2007." Response - Downstream sampling was terminated in March 2007 after a conference call between Duke Energy and your office. Duke Energy was of the understanding that downstream monitoring would not be required since effluent monitoring was being performed. Subsequent'to these inspections, downstream monitoring has been resumed at both hydroelectric facilities. This downstream monitoring will continue on a quarterly basis. www.duke-energy.com If you have any additional questions or comments, please contact me at (704) 382- 4309.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant, Duke Power Company, operates a hydroelectric dam on the Catawba River (constructed in 1915), which generates hydroelectric power used throughout Duke's service area. Complex electrical generation machinery exists at this facility that requires cooling water during operation. Reissuance of a Certificate of Coverage appears to be appropriate based on the existing wastewater sources. Pending a final review by.the NPDES General Permits Unit, it is recommended that a Certificate of Coverage be reissued as .requested.

Complex electrical generation machinery exists at this facility that requires cooling water during operation. Issuance of a General Permit appears to be appropriate based on the existing wastewater sources. This facility actually straddles two counties (Catawba and Iredell), however, it was decided to list this facility in Iredell County since the access road originates from within this county. Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended that an NPDES Permit be issued. 7 Si na ure o eport Preparer Date Water Quality Regio 1 Supervisor Date ;'LOOKOUT SHOALS LAKE. `\ ELEV a35 J -' it I'SUnri� ;al Survey I ' e system !ld lines where ration is unchecked 1 380 000 FEET MN GN - 3• 53 MILS 0.02' 1 MIL UTM GRID AND 1970 MAGNETIC NORTH DECLINATION AT CENTER OF SHEET ' 1500 Bethel \• • . gar , Chti llr I ' b36 .7 ' 493 4% (CA TA WBA) W CONOVER 10 MI 4755 It NE SCALE 1:24000 1 0 1000 0 ]000 2000 30DO 4D00 5000 6000 1 .5 0 1 K CONTOUR INTERVAL 20 FEET DATUM IS MEAN SEA LEVEL State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management James B.
