Steve Hodges (Environmental Coordinator and BORC) of Duke Energy was present at the time of the inspection. Mr. Hodges has resumed station environmental responsibilities at the Rogers Complex after the previous Station Environmental Coordinator departed. David Bridges remains the ORC and Crystal Robertson is BORC and lab manager. Jeff Joyce is assuming the role of Station Manager. This facility includes three Grade II biological "package plants" that process domestic wastewater from plant restrooms and discharge via internal outfalls to the newly constructed physical -chemical (PC) WWTP, which in turn discharges via NPDES Permit NC0005088. At the time of the inspection, the three package plants ("Unit 6 Admin," V5"and "FGD 6 Domestic") were active and appeared well maintained and operated. The physical -chemical WWTP, which commenced operation in April 2019 has replaced the existing Ash Pond for treatment and discharge of all internal waste streams and discharges via Outfall 005. Facility staff report that the new WWTP is operating in a satisfactory manner. Ash Basin Outfall 002 is now being piped to a "yard drain" and discharged via Outfall 005. Seepage at the facility is being addressed under a Special Order of Consent (EMC SOC WQ S17-009) which will expire on or before June 30, 2022. Current ongoing projects include the construction of a bioreactor unit for the Unit #5 FDG Scrubber wastewater. The facility appeared to be in compliance with Permit NC0005088 at the time of the inspection.
