K LABORATORY NAME: NPDES PERMIT #: ADDRESS: CERTIFICATE #: DATE OF INSPECTION: TYPE OF INSPECTION: AUDITOR(S): LOCAL PERSON(S) CONTACTED: INTRODUCTION: On -Site Inspection Report Duke Power Co. Allen Steam Station NCO080781 Duke Power Company LLC 13339 Hager's Ferry Road Huntersville, NC 28078-7929 5154 November 30, 2009 Field Maintenance Chet Whiting Rodney Wike This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis of environmental samples. GENERAL COMMENTS: The laboratory has been proactive in its approach to certification; the analysis of recommended post calibration pH checks is one example. The laboratory has also implemented a system for traceability of consumables well before it was required by NC Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification policy. FINDINGS REQUIREMENTS COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: General Laboratory Comment: The facility was not tracking Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) consumable information. Also the name of the vendor/manufacturer was not included as part of consumable tracking. The North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification document, Quality Assurance Policies for Field Laboratories states: "All chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used by the laboratory must have the following information documented: Date received, Date Opened (in use), Vendor, Lot Number, and Expiration Date. A system (e.g., traceable identifiers) must be in place that links standard/reagent preparation information to analytical batches in which the solutions are used. Documentation of solution preparation must include the analyst's initials, date of preparation, the volume or weight of standard(s) used, the solvent and final volume of the solution. This information as well as the vendor and/or manufacturer, lot number, and expiration date must be retained for primary standards, chemicals, reagents, and materials used for a period of five years. Consumable materials such as pH buffers and lots of pre -made standards are included in this requirement". This item was corrected on -site during the inspection. No further response is necessary for this finding. Page 2 Lab # 5154 Duke Power Co. Allen Steam Station pH — Standard Methods, 18" Edition, 4500 H+ B Comment: Proper units of measure were not documented on the pH bench sheet. The North Carolina Administrative Code, 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (g) (1) requires the following: "Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Certified Data must consist of date collected, time collected, samples site, sample collector, and sample analysis time. The field bench sheets must provide a space for the signature of the analyst, and proper units of measure for all analyses". This item was corrected on -site during the inspection. No further response is necessary for this finding. Comment: The laboratory is performing an Automatic Temperature compensator (ATC) check for the pH meter. This is no longer a program requirement and may be discontinued. Total Residual Chlorine — Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 4500 Cl G Recommendation: The next time the instrument internal TRC curve is verified, it is recommended that the concentrations of the verification standards be changed in order to increase the accuracy of the curve verification in the range where most sample concentration are likely occur. An example of verifications concentrations: 25, 40, 50, 200 and 400 pg/L. Recommendation: The daily check standard concentration was 100 pg/L. It is recommended that the daily check standard concentration be in the 200 pg/L concentration range. The use of gel type standards was also discussed. IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION: The paper trail consisted of comparing field testing records and contract lab reports to Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Data were reviewed for Lincoln Combustion Turbine (NPDES permit # NC0080781) for August and September, 2009. No transcription errors were detected. The facility appears to be doing a good job of accurately transcribing data. V. CONCLUSIONS: All findings noted during the inspection were adequately addressed prior to the completion of this report. Implementing the recommendations will further improve the quality of the data. The inspector would like to thank the staff for its assistance during the inspection and data review process. No response is required. Report prepared by: Chet Whiting Date: January 13, 2010 Report reviewed by: Jason Smith Date: January 25, 2010 Michael F. Easley, Governor William G.

The studies will test the effectiveness of using between one to two pounds of sulfur dioxide injected and mixed with roughly 150,000 gallons of wastewater in the waste treatment basin to lower the effluent concentration of total residual chlorine (TRC). TRC monitoring will be conducted during the discharged and reported on the Discharge Monitoring Report required by the NPDES permit. Duke Power plans to test this process one or more times with completion expected by the end of June. The reason the studies won't be competed earlier is that LCT is a batch discharge system and historically during the spring there are few discharges.

Inspection of the subject facility verifies the permit description of treatment works and location of outfall #001. Rating: Satisfactory FACILITY SITE REVIEW 1. The Class I wastewater treatment system consists of two parallel concrete treatment cells (250,000 gallons each), two recirculation pumps, acid and caustic tanks (150 gallons each) with metering pumps, static mixer, and Parshall flume. The wastewater treatment basins provide settling and neutralization of wastewater prior to discharge from four turbine sumps, Maintenance/Warehouse sump, water treatment system, and non -point storm water sources (fuel filter skids). The final treated effluent is discharged into Killian creek via outfall #001. 2. Storm water runoff from the subject site is diverted into six different drainage systems. The storm water (SW) discharges are as follows: SW 001 - Transformer skid oil/water separator - Runoff from transformer skids - Drains to the raw water storage pond, which overflows to wetlands that discharge into Killian Creek SW 002 - North side runoff (Combustion Turbine Units 1 - 8) - Drains to the raw water storage pond, which overflows to wetlands that discharge into Killian Creek SW 003 - Warehouse receiving area - Drains to east area of site Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station Page Three FACILITY SITE REVIEW CONTINUED ... SW 004 - East area runoff - Drains to wetlands that discharge into Killian Creek SW 005 - South side runoff (Combustion Turbine Units 9 - 16) - Drains to wetlands that discharge into Killian Creek SW 006 - Oil spill containment basin oil/water separator - Used oil storage tank skid runoff - Fuel oil unloading pad runoff - Oil spill containment basin runoff - Runoff drains to wetlands that discharge into Killian Creek. Storm water is discharged under General Storm Water Permit NCG010000. 3. Effluent discharged from outfall #001 and site storm water is dischar Creek, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. Rating: Satisfactory OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE The subject facility appeared to be well maintained and in good operational conartion. The facility is staffed with one Grade II operator (the Operator -in -Responsible Charge). A designated certified back-up operator is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. Rating: Satisfactory Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station Page Four EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS The facility was not discharging at the time of inspection. Effluent discharge is piped to Killians Creek. The receiving stream was not evaluated. Rating: Not Evaluated RECORDS AND REPORTS The following records, reports, and logs were reviewed at the time of inspection: -ORC Log -Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) -Laboratory Analyses Reports -Chain-of-Custody Forms -Calibration Logs and Records All of the above noted records appeared to be current and kept in accordance with NPDES permit requirements. Records were readily accessible in the facility's office. Rating: Satisfactory 1as7T1-Com 1 Laboratory analyses are performed by Duke Power's Environmental Center (Duke Power Analytical Laboratory Certification #248) located adjacent to the McGuire Nuclear Station. Temperature and pH are analyzed on site. The pH meter is properly calibrated and records maintained. Laboratory exemption has been granted for pH. A lab inspection of the Laboratory was performed on June 22 and 23, 1999 by Mr. Chet Whiting with the Division's Lab Certification Unit. Refer to Mr. Whiting's inspection report for comments. All samples are being shipped on ice and are meeting all holding times. Rating: Not Evaluated Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station Page Five SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM Self -monitoring data was reviewed for the period June 1998 through May 1999. The subject facility is in compliance with monitoring frequencies. Monthly monitoring reports are completed correctly. No violations were reported. An amended report will be submitted to Central Files in Raleigh for a typographical error noted on the May 1999 DMR for Ammonia Nitrogen. Rating: Satisfactory FLOW MEASUREMENT Flow is measured by a Parshall flume and meter. A totalized flow of the batch discharge for each day of flow is maintained. Calibration is performed twice a year by Duke Power staff. Adequate documentation is kept. Rating: Satisfactory SLUDGE DISPOSAL Solids collected in the settling basins are removed by Bionomix, Inc., of Charlotte, North Carolina and disposed of in a landfill located at McGuire Nuclear Plant. According to NPDES Permit Part II, Section D(6), records for sewage sludge use and disposal activities "shall be retained for a period of at least five years." Rating: Satisfactory SEWER OVERFLOW Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system, pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the bypass. A written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of similar events. Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station Page Six SEWER OVERFLOW .. . Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported. An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report the bypass of a collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation.

Mark "X" in column 2-a for all such GC/MS fractions that apply to your industry and for ALL toxic metals, cyanides, and total phenols. If you are not required to mark column 2-a (secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and nonrequired GC/MS fractions), mark "X" in column 2-b for each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present. Mark "X" in column 2-c for each pollutant you believe is absent. If you mark column 2a for any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant. If you mark column 2b for any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant if you know or have reason to believe it will be discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater, If you mark column 2b for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2, 4 dinitrophenol, or 2-methyl-4, 6 dinitrophenol, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for each of these pollutants which you know or have reason to believe that you discharge in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. Otherwise, for pollutants for which you mark column 2b, you must either submit at least one analysis or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Note that there are 7 pages to this part. please review each carefully. Complete one table (all 7 pages) for each outfall. See instructions for additional details and requirements. 1. POLLUTANT 2.

The Lincoln facility serves as a primary source of power during peak demand periods, and also during times when energy from other sources may be unavailable. The greatest electrical demand is usually in the summer and winter months. Each combustion turbine can be operated independently and for extended periods of time, if necessary. Combustion turbines burn #2 low -sulfur oil or natural gas to heat compressed air, which expands and drives a turbine -generator to produce electricity. Construction of the LCT units was completed in March of 1996. On page 10 is a line drawing showing the water flow through LCT, indicating the source of intake water, operations contributing to the effluent, and the wastewater treatment provided. The estimated flows on the line drawing are representative of present station operation. The following is a brief narrative description of sources contributing to the -wastewater effluent of outfall 001. Intake Raw water is withdrawn from Killian Creek and stored in the 50 million gallon Raw Water Storage Pond. The pond is equipped with an overflow pipe to wetlands, which flows into Killian Creek. The raw water intake screens are sparged with air periodically to remove trapped creek debris. This debris is flushed back into the creek. Dredging of the intake is done periodically in accordance with the ACOE 404 permit (#199404202). From this pond, raw water is processed by the filtered water and demineralized water treatment systems in order to make pure service water for combustion turbine operations and plant processes. The wastewater and chemicals generated by these processes are discharged to the wastewater treatment system at the LCT site. Outfall 001 - System Description Outfall 001 discharges treated wastewater from the Wastewater Treatment (WT) system through a flume to Killian Creek below the LCT site. The WT system basin consists of two parallel concrete lined treatment cells (250,000 gallons each). The treatment basin provides a common mixing point for all site wastewater. Discharge from the basin is on a batch basis and is neutralized as needed while discharging. The wastewater treatment system provides settling and neutralization prior to discharge. This basin processes wastewater flows from the water treatment system and an aeration tank, which collects wastewater from four turbine yard sumps, maintenance/warehouse sump and the vehicle wash. The total combined effluent from these sources is approximately 0.30 million gallons per day (MGD). Wastewater from the WT treatment system is discharged to Killian Creek at Outfall 001. Lincoln Combustion Turbine, Lincoln County NPDES Permit No.NC0080781 Page 3 of 10 Filtered Water System Flow from the Raw Water Storage Pond is directed to the filtered water system where it is treated for process use. The filtered water treatment system at LCT consists of a clarifier, three gravity sand filters and a clear well. Wastewater and raw water solids from the filtered water system are drained to the wastewater treatment basin, which provides settling treatment. Solids are periodically removed from the wastewater treatment ponds and properly disposed in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. Clarifier The clarifier utilizes typical water treatment chemicals such as cationic polyelectrolyte, clay, and gaseous chlorine for the primary treatment of raw water. The sedimentation wastes collected in the clarifier consists of solids that were suspended in the service water. Just prior to the flash floc tank, gaseous chlorine is injected into the raw water. The cationic polyelectrolyte is added from a unit called a "Poly Flow". This unit receives dilution water from a filtered water compression skid and injects the polyelectrolyte into the flash floc tank. Also, the clay receives dilution water from the filtered water compression skid and the clay slurry is pumped into the flash floc tank. Approximately 110 gallons per year of polyelectrolyte may be used. The average volume of water required for desludging the clarifier is between 10,000 - 20,000 gallons per day. Typically, these sedimentation wastes (which consist of mud, silt, clay and flocculent precipitate) along with diluted water treatment chemicals and by-products, gravity flow from the bottom of the clarifier and are collected in the wastewater treatment basin. Gravity Filters There are three gravity sand filters composed of anthracite (coal) and sand, downstream of the clarifier in the water treatment process. Normally, each of these filters is backwashed two to five times each day during peak operation. Each backwash uses about 10,000 gallons of water. On the average, 90,000 ga►Ions of backwash water is produced daily from filter backwashes. This wastewater drains to a cement trench that discharges to the wastewater treatment basins. The sand filter is changed on an as needed basis. The filtered water is stored in one of two 400,000 gallon filtered water tanks (A and B). Of this total volume of water, 300,000 gallons are designated for fire protection usage. Lincoln Combustion Turbine, Lincoln County NPDES Permit No.NC0080781 Page 4 of 10 Demineralized Water System The Demineralized Water System provides high purity water which is injected into the combustion turbines for nitrous oxide (NOx) control. The demin water is also used for miscellaneous plant usage such as housekeeping, turbine deck wash water and cooling water makeup. Activated Carbon Filters The Demineralized Water System includes three, 235 ft3 carbon filters. These filters are typically backwashed weekly. The amount of water required to backwash one of these filters is approximately 10,000 gallons of water per backwash. Backwashes may occur daily or weekly, depending on station operation. The carbon is replenished as needed and the spent carbon is routed to the wastewater treatment basin. Demineralizers There are three trains of resin bed regenerative demineralizers. Each train consists of one anion resin bed and one cation resin bed. Normally, one to three trains of demineralizers are in operation. The demineralized water produced is stored in two demineralized water storage tanks (A and B) which have a capacity of 1.4 million gallons each. Regeneration of one anion/cation demineralizer train may occur as often as once per day. A typical regeneration of one train takes approximately 50,000 gallons of water. The amounts of required acid and caustic will vary as dictated by operational requirements. Wastewater from these regenerations is discharged to a 150,000 gallon neutralization tank. The wastewater is neutralized prior to discharge to the wastewater treatment basin. The acid and caustic used in the neutralization process are stored in day tanks. The acid day tank holds 380 gallons and the caustic day tank holds 730 gallons. In the event of a leak from the day tanks, the acid or caustic would be neutralized and drained to the wastewater treatment basins. The capacities of the bulk sulfuric acid and the sodium hydroxide tanks are 4,000 and 4,500 gallons respectively. Combustion Turbine Sumps The four turbine sumps are concrete structures which have two pumps per sump. These pumps are operated on an alternating basis. After a preselected time period, the controls are automatically cycled so the pump operation is swapped. The turbine sumps collect wastewater from four oil/water separators. These oil/water separators receive wastewater from various turbine processes, such as miscellaneous piping leaks, wash down water and stormwater runoff. This wastewater may contain small amounts of propylene glycol, lube oil and/or fuel oil as a result of piping leaks or false starts from the turbine. The Chemicals on Site list (page 8), lists additional chemicals presently being used at the station and which may be present in the wastewater classified as: • Corrosion inhibitors • Housekeeping chemicals • Surfactants and defoamers • Maintenance chemicals and degreasers • Water treatment chemicals. Lincoln Combustion Turbine, Lincoln County NPDES Permit No.NC0080781 Page 5 of 10 Generically, these chemicals may be The turbine sumps process approximately 90 GPD to 4,200 GPD of wastewater. The following are the waste streams that could be collected in the turbine sumps which have oil/water separators, with the exception of the residual compressor water wash which by-passes the oil/water separators: • Fuel oil from false starts • Lube oil leaks • Cooling water leaks • Turbine deck wash water • Fuel oil filter skid drains. Fuel Oil From False Starts A starting turbine may not get an ignition flame on the first attempt. As a result, the engine has to be shut down and the combustion chamber fuel drained prior to a system restart. Lube Oil Leaks Intermittent lube oil piping leaks may occur on each combustion turbine during normal operation. When the combustion turbine decks are periodically hosed down with water as part of the housekeeping practices, these trace amounts of oil are flushed to the oil/water separator. Cooling Water Leaks Intermittent cooling water leaks may occur around the cooling water system pressure fitting gaskets. This amount is usually very small. These leaks contain propylene glycol and a corrosion inhibitor. Turbine Deck Wash Water During normal operation, the combustion turbines or their decks are periodically washed with water for housekeeping purposes. This volume is approximately 200 to 400 gallons. Fuel Oil Filter Skid Drains Fuel oil filter skids are located in the turbine yard separately from the combustion turbines. There is a filter skid for each combustion turbine. Each skid area is curbed and furnished with a yard drain. Rain water washes trace amounts of oil to these drains which lead to the oil/water separator. 10 'nm 01 Lincoln Combustion Turbine, Lincoln County NPDES Permit No.NC0080781 Page 6 of 10 Aeration tank wastewater The aeration tank receives wastewater from the turbine yard sumps, maintenance/warehouse sump and vehicle wash. The maintenance/warehouse sump and the vehicle wash are received via an oil/water separator. In the aeration tank the waste is mixed with activated sludge and aerated to reduce the total organic carbon content. Wastewater Treatment Basin Operation Presently, the wastewater treatment basin is receiving wastewater streams from those sources listed in the following sections of this Supplemental Information: Filtered Water System, Demineralized Water System, and Combustion Turbine Sumps. Compressor Wash Water The interior and blades of each turbine compressor is water washed normally once per year. Approximately 3,000 to 3,500 gallons of water is used to perform this turbine blade washing. This water drains directly to the turbine sumps. When this procedure is being performed, the sump pumps are isolated and the sump acts as a collection point for this wastewater. The wash water is pumped and hauled to a permitted disposal facility. Stormwater (SW) SW runoff is diverted into six different drainage systems. SW systems are as follows: SW 001 • Transformer skid oil/water separator • Runoff from transformer skids • Drains to the raw water storage pond, which over flows to wetlands then to Killian Creek SW 002 • North side runoff (Combustion Turbine Units 1 - 8 ) • Drains to the raw water storage pond, which over flows to wetlands then to Killian Creek SW 003 • Warehouse receiving area (small area) • Drains to open area at East end of site SW 004 • East side runoff • Drains to wetlands then to Killian Creek SW 005 • South side runoff (Combustion Turbine Units 9 - 16) • Drains to wetlands then to Killian Creek Lincoln Combustion Turbine, Lincoln County NPDES Permit No.NC0080781 Page 7 of 10 SW 006 • Oil spill containment basin oil/water separator • Used oil storage tank skid runoff • Fuel oil unloading pad runoff • Oil spill containment basin runoff • Drains to wetlands then to Killian Creek. Various herbicides and pesticides are applied on the site by a vendor. These applications are applied in compliance with manufacturers' guidelines by licensed applicators. Drinking Water Drinking water is supplied to the site from two wells. The site is not on the State's drinking water database because it does not meet the minimum personnel requirements. Sanitary System Sanitary wastes from the plant are treated by a 2,000 gallon septic tank. Sanitary effluent is pumped by a lift station from the discharge chamber of the septic tanks to a leachate field for final treatment. Based on annual data, the average daily flow to the leachate field has been approximately 750 gallons per day. The sanitary system is permitted by Lincoln County. Spill Prevention The LCT has two 5.5 million gallon above ground fuel oil storage tanks. Each above ground oil tank at LCT was designed with secondary containment which is capable of containing the entire contents of both tanks. This station has both an SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures) plan as well as a FRP (Facility Response Plan) as specified in Federal regulations 40 CFR 112. Detailed listings of oil sources at this station are kept current in both the SPCC and FRP plans.
