Modification
Permit NC0004774
Buck Combined Cycle Station
' Rowan County
Facility Class I
Dear Mr. Draovitch:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft Major Modification for your facility. Please review
the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it
contains.
The draft Major Modification contains the following significant changes from your current
permit:
• Dewatering flow limit for Outfall 007 was increased from 0.72 MGD to 1.1 MGD to assure a
timely closure of the ash pond.
• Outfall 006 has been eliminated from the permit,it was never constructed.
• Outfall 002 has been eliminated from the permit since all the flows have been diverted to•
other Outfalls.
• Outfall 002A has been eliminated from the permit since it has been physically removed from
the facility.
• Outfall 007 decanting phase effluent pages have been eliminated from the permit since the
decanting phase of the operations has been completed.
• The permit added an authorized use of acid, alkaline,sodium hypochlorite,and sodium
bisulfate solutions,and sand filters at Outfall 007 to achieve consistent compliance with the
effluent limits.

• One downstream sampling location (10,000 ft downstream of Outfall 007) was removed to
be consistent with other Duke permits and because sampling indicated no water quality
concerns.

[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)and
program reports.The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on
December 21,2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of
this permit(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Requirements[Supersedes Part II,Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.)(a))
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month
and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the
state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR),permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing,and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DEQ/ Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
Page 16 of 18
NC0004774
1. Reporting Requirements(cont.)
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the
facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have
broadband access,then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements
may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms(MR 1,
1.1,2,3)or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be
submitted to the mailing address above. See"How to Request a Waiver from Electronic
Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method,the first DMR is due on the last day of the month
following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility,on the last day of the month
following the commencement of discharge.
Starting on December 21,2020,the permittee must electronically report the following
compliance monitoring data and reports,when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports;and
• Clean Water Act(CWA)Section 316(b)Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division(see"How to Request a
Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9),the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the
time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to
identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the
entity(EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program)that is the
designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool
for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use
the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES
Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant-
discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the"Reporting Requirements" section
above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver,a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request
to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in
writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty(60)days prior to the date the facility
would be required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The
duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such
time,monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the
permittee re-applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the
Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an
Page 17 of 18
NC0004774
approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the
Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found
on the following web page: http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
4. Signatory Requirements[Supplements Part II, Section B. (11.)(b) and Supersedes Section B.
