Duke Energy requests a stormwater discharge permit for the Rogers Energy Complex located in
Cleveland and Rutherford Counties, North Carolina. Enclosed is a check from Duke Energy in
the amount of $860.00 for the subject stormwater permitting fee; and three sets of the following
documents related to this permit request:
a. EPA Form 1;
b. EPA Form 2F;
C. EPA Form 2F Supplemental Information;
d. Site Location Map;
e. Site Stormwater Plan Drawing
Numerous stormwater outfalls are located at the Rogers Energy Complex. Stormwater data
was unavailable at the time of this permit application submittal. The outfalls at the facility will be
sampled and the results provided when a sufficient storm event occurs that produces adequate
flow from the outfalls. Considering the number and spatial distribution of outfalls around the
facility, more than one additional qualifying rainfall event may be necessary to obtain samples
from all outfalls.
Please contact me at Mark.McGary@duke-energy.com or at 980-373-7898 if you have any
questions or need any additional information.
Sincerely,
MaraMcGary, PE

ROGERS ENERGY COMPLEX
Stormwater Discharge Permit Application
EPA Form 2F Supplemental Information
NPDES Permit #NC0005088
GENERAL SITE INFORMATION
The Rogers Energy Complex (formerly Cliffside Steam Station) is a coal-fired electric generating
facility operated by Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy). The facility is located on Duke
Power Road, off NC State Road 1002 just south of Cliffside, North Carolina, on the Broad River.
The facility currently has two units in operation (Units 5 and 6). Units 1 through 4 were retired in
October 2011 and are in the process of being decommissioned. Unit 5 has a capacity of 562
net MW and utilizes closed -cycle, forced -draft cooling towers for heat dissipation. Unit 5 cooling
tower make-up water is withdrawn at a maximum rate of 0.39 m3/sec (14 cfs) and the blowdown
is discharged to the ash basin. Unit 6 has a capacity of approximately 825 net MW and utilizes
a closed -cycle, forced -draft cooling towers for heat dissipation. Unit 6 cooling tower make-up
water is withdrawn at a maximum rate of 0.62 M3/sec (22 cfs). A wet flue as desulfurization
(FGD) control technology on Unit 5 began operation in the fall of 2010. Unit 6 has wet and dry
FGD control technology.
The Broad River supplies the Condenser Cooling Water (CCW) and other service water
systems from an intake located just upstream from the diversion dam on the Broad River. A raw
water pumping system supplies water for Units 5 and 6. The pumps have traveling screens for
debris removal. Debris collected on the screens consists of twigs, leaves, and other material
indigenous to the river and is, therefore, flushed back to the river_ The system has control
valves that allow water to be recirculated to the suction side of the pumps instead of overflowing
raw water storage tanks.
In developed areas, runoff flows over land to ditches and catch basin which are connected to a
buried network of pipes. Stormwater from areas with significant materials or activities is routed
through treatment systems prior to discharge. Rainfall runoff from the plant yards, coal handling
areas, coal pile, Units 5 and 6, and the FGD site go to the yard drainage basin; effluent from the
holding basin is pumped to the ash basin. Rainfall runoff from the switchyards that contain oil -
cooled transformers is routed through oil water traps.
The Rogers Energy Complex (Cliffside Steam Station) was included in the stormwater
application submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in March 1991. EPA Form
2F has been submitted as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
renewal applications. The most recent NPDES renewal was submitted in January 2010.
STORMWATER OUTFALLS AND DRAINAGE AREA DESCRIPTIONS
The facility has two NPDES discharge outfalls and one internal NPDES discharge. The
NPDES discharges are described below
• NPDES Outfall 002 —Ash Settling Basin
This discharge contains treated wastewater from the 75 -acre ash settling basin. The
treated wastewater contains low volume wastes, coal pile runoff, metal cleaning wastes,
treated domestic wastewater, chemical metal cleaning wastes, effluent from the
wastewater treament system, ash transport water, coal combustion product (CCP)
landfill leacahate (landfill contains fly ash, bottom ash, and gyspum from FGD system),
cooling towers blow down, and runoff from the limestone and gypsum stacking area.
• NPDES Outfall 002a — Eme[gency Emergencyoverflow/SW Outfall 007
This is an emergency and drainage basin overflow. Discharge from this outfall is not a
normal occurrence. See Yard Drainage Basin.
• NPDES Internal Outfall 004 — Wastwater Treatment System WWTP
The wastewater treatment system for the Unit 5 FGD blowdown discharges to the yard
settling basin through NPDES Internal Outfall 004.
This section details the drainage basin characteristics of the stormwater outfalls that discharge
to surface waters. Included in the description is the approximate location coordinates of the
outfalls, the amount of impervious surface area within the drainage area, a description of any
significant materials and activities located within the drainage areas, the type of discharge
conveyances, and a description of any discharge control measures. Additional outfalls have
been excluded because either they have been abandoned or because they are not located
within the vicinity of the station or any industrial activity. The outfall locations and contributing
drainage area delineation are shown on the accompanying plan site plan. Also included is a
Project Location Map.
In addition to the significant materials that are particular to each drainage basin, herbicides are
applied to selected areas throughout Rogers Energy Complex to eliminate undesirable
vegetation along railways, ash pipelines, and the perimeter fence. Herbicides are also applied,
as needed, in the gravel parking lots, switchyard, and laydown areas. Herbicides are sprayed
around the yard sumps, transformers, trailers, and the intake structure. All herbicides used at
Rogers Energy Complex are approved by the company as environmentally safe when used
according to directions. Records are retained at the site to document information such as the
areas treated, the type of herbicide used, and the amounts of herbicide used
Certain stormwater outfall drainage areas share similarities regarding the presence of significant
materials and/or activities. Based on these similarities, stormwater discharges from certain
groups of outfalls can be represented by the discharge of a designated outfall within the group.

Coal: Runoff from the coal pile goes to the holding basin. Coal dust is present
along the railroad tracks, coal handling areas, and the plant yard.
Ash: Wet ash is sluiced through this basin to the ash settling basin. The ash
pipelines are both aboveground and in concrete trenches. Dry fly ash is
transferred from the plant to the ash silos through above grade pipelines.
The dry fly ash is transferred from the ash silos to trucks for transport to
off-site projects where it is used as a concrete additive. Dry ash may also
be landfilled on-site,
Hazardous Waste: Hazardous wastes are accumulated and stored on a temporary basis
under cover in hazardous waste areas adjacent to the Unit 5 new oil
house, inside the tractor shed, and on the hill near the Shaw Office
Complex. All spills will be contained and managed per the applicable
state and federal hazardous waste regulations.
Laydown Areas and Temporary Staging Areas: Spare equipment, parts, steel, cable, and
miscellaneous supplies are stored in laydown areas throughout the site.
The equipment and supplies generally do not contain liquids.
Parking: There are several areas used for parking within this drainage basin.
Wastewater: Plant wastewater from equipment discharges, floor drains, sumps, FGD
wastewater treatment plant, and the car wash station is routed to the
plant yard drainage sump. This wastewater may include oil, chemical,
and hazardous waste spills. There are also two septic waste water
package plants that discharge to the plant waste system
Gypsum and Limestone: Runoff in the area of the gypsum and limestone is conveyed to a
stormwater pond and is ultimately discharged to the ash basin.
IDENTIFICATION OF PAST LEAKS AND SPILLS
Within the past three years, there have not been any significant spills of hazardous substances
in excess of reportable quantities set forth by Section 311 of the Clean Water Act or Section 102
of CERCIA. All significant spill incidents are logged by the Environmental Coordinator, and the
necessary updates are made to the various related plans and procedures. All environmental
incidences at Rogers Energy Complex are stored for review in eTrac.
IDENTIFICATION OF NON-STORMWATER DISCHARGES
Non-stormwater discharge is conveyed through Stormwater Outfalls 003, 005, 006, and 009.
The non-stormwater discharge at Stormwater Outfall 003 is believed to be the result of
groundwater infiltration. The non-stormwater discharge at Stormwater Outfall 005 is intake
screen backwash water. The non-stormwater low flow discharge at Stormwater Outfall 009 is
from a perennial stream.
MONITORING AND SAMPLING DATA
There are numerous stormwater outfalls at Rogers Energy Complex. Many of these outfalls
convey stormwater from areas of substantially identical activities and materials. All stormwater
outfalls are accessible for sampling.
