Subject: NPDES Permit Modification Request NCDEQ/DWR/NPDES
Roxboro Steam Station
NC0003425
Person County
Dear Dr. Chernikov,
Duke EnergyProgress,LLC (Duke Energy) hereby requests modification of the subject NPDES permit
to make the following changes:
1. Duke Energy requests incorporation of updated provisions and technology based effluent
limits (TBEL) provided in 40 CFR part 423. Specifically, Duke Energy requests that the FGD
TBELs be updated to the values in the recently promulgated steam electric effluent limitations
guidelines and that terms related to the release of bottom ash transport water be clarified to align
with updates to 40 CFR Part 423. The revised rule was signed by the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) on August 31, 2020 and published in the Federal Register on October
13, 2020 with a December 13, 2020 effective date. The rule states that "Where permits with the
2015 rule limitations have already been issued, EPA expects that the final rule requirements will
be incorporated through permit modifications in most cases."
Those promulgated limits are as follows with changes from current permit limits
highlighted:
Pollutant Existing monthly average and Requested 2020 monthly
daily max average and daily max
Arsenic 8 ug/I and 11/ug/I 8 ug/I and 18 ug/I
Mercury 356 ng/I and 788 ng/I 34 ng/I and 103 ng/I
Selenium 12 ug/I and 23 ug/I 19 ug/I and 70 ug/I
Nitrate/Nitrite 4.4 mg/I and 17 mg/I 3 mg/I and 4 mg/I
If necessary, Duke Energy will work with the Department to develop a narrative permit requirement to
assure that treatment components in place continue to be properly operated and maintained to provide
optimum treatment. The permit currently contains such a requirement stating "the facility shall continue
to operate the FGD treatment system until all coal-fired units are retired" as a footnote in condition
A.(10).
www.duke-energy.com
2. With the update to the FGD TBEL's,Duke Energy also requests phased limits for outfall
011 based on the attached combined waste formula calculations. Duke Energy intends to
redirect landfill leachate to the FGD wastewater system to promote increased pollutant removal.
Given the amount of work necessary to redirect this flow, the redirection of landfill leachate
cannot occur until 2022 at the earliest. Duke Energy requests that phased limits for FGD
wastewater be included in the permit with limits at outfall 011 for"FGD wastewater
without landfill leachate"and "FGD wastewater with landfill leachate". Supporting
information with the calculations for the combined flow limits were performed by Stantec
engineering and can be found in Attachment 1 to this submittal.
3. Duke Energy requests an increase in the flow limit and reporting clarification on flow at
internal Outfall 002 during dewatering activities. The daily maximum flow limit from the
dewatering system currently is 2.0 MGD daily maximum. However, the flow at outfall 002 is
influenced by a large drainage area during rain events. Duke Energy requests that the flow limit
be increased to 3.0 MGD and expressed as a monthly average similar to the flow requirement at
our Belews Creek facility. Additionally, the permit currently clearly states that this flow limit is
applicable to interstitial water only but does not provide a mechanism to report that data and
demonstrate compliance. Duke Energy requests , since the interstitial water flow is only a
portion of the flows measured at internal outfall 002,that a requirement to provide interstitial
water flow rates be included in the permit. This flow information could be input in the eDMR
with a different identifying internal outfall number for flow only or through some other reporting
mechanism.
4. Duke Energy requests "bottom ash purge water"be added as a contributing waste stream
to the lined retention basin. The bottom ash purge water is produced by the blow down from
the submerged flight conveyors (SFC) bottom ash handling system. Based on our operating
experience, intermittent releases from the high recycle bottom ash system are necessary to ensure
proper water chemistry and water balance are managed according to best engineering practices.
The bottom ash purge flow would be no more than 10% of SFC water volume and routine purge
would be directed to the FGD makeup system when available. In accordance with the federal
effluent guideline rule, a 30-day rolling average SFC purge water flow volume of 0.099 MGD is
requested to be added to the permit based on a calculated bottom ash system volume of 0.995
million gallons. Duke Energy requests that this be added as a special condition.
5. Duke Energy requests removal of the phrase that reads "During the period beginning on the
effective date of this permit and lasting until the completion of the removal of coal combustion
residuals from the East Ash Basin Extension, but no later than December 31, 2021, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge from Outfall 001"in permit condition A.(1). This
appears to be a remnant from a much earlier DRAFT of the permit. Given that the permit was
issued in 2020, the remaining ash will not be fully excavated from the east ash basin remnant by
the end of 2021. Additionally, industrial stormwater from the landfill will continue to be
released through the channel for outfall 001 as that is the only way water can drain based on
topography. Required ash excavation from this area is currently planned to be completed in
2022. Duke Energy requests that this note be removed.
6. Duke Energy requests condition A.(18) be modified to change the Monthly Instream
Monitoring location name be from 6B to F2.The sampling location is the same with the
naming convention being updated.
A check in the amount of$1,030 is included with this submittal to cover the required permit
modification fee. Should you have any questions about this request please feel free to contact Ms. Lori
Tollie at (336)408-2591.

Executive Summary
This report assessed the opportunity to use the existing Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD)Wastewater
Treatment System (WWTS) at the Duke Energy Roxboro Facility to treat the recovered leachate from coal
the site landfill.Additionally, this report evaluated the option of conveying dewatered flows from the West
and East Ash Basin through the FGD WWTS and the effects to the existing National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit NC0003425 for the Roxboro Plant. Revision 1 of this document
incorporates the Best Available Technology (BAT) limits included in the 2020 Revision of the Steam
Electric Generating Effluent Limitation Guidelines.
The FGD WWTS capacity analysis to the physical-chemical and biological system was performed to
evaluate the capacity of the system to treat FGD purge and additional flows such as leachate and
dewatered flows. The flow capacity was developed using the original design basis of 900 gallons per
minute (gpm) up to 1,800 gpm to include FGD purge, leachate, dewatered flows, and internal WWTS
recycled flows. The main conclusions from the capacity analysis were:
• The clarifiers do not present any issues and have enough capacity to handle combined flows
while maintaining redundancy.
• The 1st stage of the biological treatment system is the bottleneck of the system with flows higher
than 1,050 gpm unable to be treated without utilizing all available redundancy or adding additional
units.
• Continuous backwash gravity filters and the 2"d stage of the biological treatment system can
handle combined flows up to 1,350 gpm with all units online resulting in zero redundancy.
Stantec recommends using the existing 8-inch piping from the leachate tanks to the Water Redirect Sump
to convey leachate flows and connect to the old FGD blowdown line to the FGD wastewater settling pond.
Based on the leachate wastewater quality data, flows, and loads, the FGD WWTS can treat the leachate
flows without major modifications to the existing system. Stantec recommends the following:
• Conduct a sampling effort to further validate that the constituents of concern are within the FGD
WWTS basis of design.
• Conduct a sampling effort to collect FGD WWTS quality data to confirm system performance,
including ultrafiltration effluent.
• Control leachate tank effluent as close to the average flow of 65 gpm as possible using a flow
control valve.
The evaluation of treating the dewatered wastewater from the East and West ash basin through the FGD
WWTS suggest that major adjustments and additions to the systems are required in order to treat the
expected flow of 900 gpm. However, some of the changes/additions are subject to change based on
Duke's desire to maintain N+1 redundancy and NPDES permit limitations.

ROXBORO LEACHATE TREATMENT ASSESSMENT REPORT
1 .0 INTRODUCTION
Duke Energy (Duke) currently owns and operates a 2,400-megawatt power generation facility located
near Semora, (Person County), North Carolina. The plant consists of four coal-fired units and began
operation in 1966 with major expansions taking place from 1973 to 1980. Coal combustion residuals
(CCR) have been managed on-site and include the operation of a landfill leachate recovery system. CCR
materials placed within the existing landfill include fly ash, bottom ash, and gypsum.
The Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD)wastewater treatment system (WWTS)was recently constructed as
an upgrade from the previous system to comply with the CCR rule and new permit requirements. Since
construction, the FGD WWTS has had limited operations since start up in early 2020. The FGD WWTS
consists of physical-chemical (phys-chem)treatment and biological treatment followed by ultrafiltration
(UF). Duke has identified an opportunity to use the existing FGD WWTS as a possible treatment system
for both exiting FGD flows and recovered leachate from combustion residuals management.
This report presents the results of the evaluation, reviewing the capacity and capability of the FGD WWTS
to treat the leachate flows. In addition, this report includes an evaluation of conveying dewatered flows
from the West and East Ash Basins for treatment through the FGD WWTS.
2.0 LANDFILL LEACHATE SYSTEM REVIEW
Landfill leachate (leachate) is collected in the leachate pump station and conveyed to two 370,000-gallon
leachate equalization tanks. The equalized flow is then pumped, via two 10 horsepower(hp) pumps (one
standby), through a forced main to the Water Redirect Sump before it is sent to the Lined Retention Basin
and discharge through Outfall 12B as shown in Error! Reference source not found..

2.1 LEACHATE DATA REVIEW AND WATER CHARACTERIZATION
Leachate data provided by Duke was reviewed to assess the preliminary loads and flows that will be sent
to the existing FGD WWTS. The leachate flows and loads were used to develop a FGD WWTS capacity
analysis discussed in Section 3.0 and used in the combined wastestream formula (CWF)for the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit discussion in Section 4.0. The data used to
analyze the leachate were:

ROXBORO LEACHATE TREATMENT ASSESSMENT REPORT
• Leachate flow data from September 2019 to April 2020
• Leachate analytical data for two sampling events:April and November 2019
• Leachate system P&IDs
The leachate effluent tank data set was analyzed using an 8, 12, and 24-hour moving average for the
flows with and without (only when the pumps are running) instances of zero flow to review the system
trends over the different time periods. Based on the flow analysis, shown in Table 2-1, 50 gallons per
minute (gpm) is the average effluent flow; however, from Duke's input, 65 gpm will be the expected
average leachate flow to be sent to the FGD WVVfS.

conclusion is based on only two sampling events; therefore, it is recommended to conduct further
sampling to more accurately characterize the leachate.

2.2 LEACHATE SYSTEM HYDRAULICS REVIEW
Stantec has evaluated two options for the conveyance of recovered leachate. Initially, it was considered
to send the leachate flow directly to the FGD WAITS sump; however, this option would require the
installation of new pipe to convey the leachate; potentially increasing capital cost. The option
recommended is to use the existing 8-inch pipe, originally used to convey FGD blowdown to the FGD
settling ponds to transfer the leachate to the FGD blowdown tanks.
Prior to the installation of the new FGD WWTS, the FGD blowdown was conveyed to the FGD wastewater
settling pond through an 8-inch fiberglass reinforced plastic(FRP) pipe. Currently, leachate tank effluent
is conveyed through an 8-inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe to the water redirect sump, which is
in close proximity to the old FGD blowdown pipe, as shown in Error! Reference source not found.2.
The proximity of the pipes provides an opportunity to tie both lines together to convey leachate to the
FGD blowdown tanks.

To confirm hydraulic capacity to convey leachate from the leachate tanks to.the FGD blowdown tanks, a
preliminary hydraulic analysis was conducted using AFT Fathom 10 modeling software. A summary of
inputs and assumptions for the hydraulic model are shown in Table 2-3.
dt 1\us0582-ppfss0l\shared_projects11 7 267 91 2110 5_report_deliv\draft_doc\duke roxboro leachate treatment report revt final.docx 2.4

Table 2-3 Leachate Pump Hydraulic Analysis Assumptions
Input Assumption
Leachate Tank and Effluent Pumps Base Elevation 490 feet
FGD Blowdown Top of Tank Elevation 471 feet
Pipe Size and Material 8" Stainless Steel (pump station), 8" double-
walled fusion-bonded HDPE (from pump station
to water redirect sump), 8" FRP (from water
redirect sump to FGD blowdown tanks)
Because of the drop in elevation, the hydraulic model indicates that gravity flow will be possible between
the leachate tanks and the FGD blowdown tanks. Depending on the liquid level in the leachate tanks,
flow rates will vary from 500 gpm to 750 gpm if uncontrolled. The addition of a flow control valve on the
leachate pump bypass and upstream of the existing leachate flow meter(FE-2002)would be required to
control the flow of leachate into the FGD blowdown tanks.
If additional hydraulic capacity is required to convey ash pond dewatering flows, the existing leachate
tank effluent pumps would need to be utilized. Depending on tank level and pump speed, the pump
capacity ranges from 500 gpm to 950 gpm when utilizing the existing 8-inch piping.
3.0 FGD WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM REVIEW
3.1 FGD WASTEWATER TREATMENT CHARACTERIZATION
The FGD WVVfS phys-chem, biological, and ultrafiltration treatment units began commissioning early
2020. Duke provided analytical data from four sampling events(February 13, 26, March 10, 24, 2020)to
evaluate the overall system performance. Table 3-1 presents a summary of the primary constituents of
concern. A detailed data tabulation may be found in Appendix A. Based on the data shown in Table 3-1,
the system has not achieved the guaranteed selenium concentration in the effluent; however, only three
data points were provided, and the most recent data point shows a 2 parts per billion (ppb) selenium
concentration.
The influent constituent concentrations are within the limits of the FGD WVVTS basis of design. Based on
the leachate analytical data presented in Section 2.2, the concentration of the constituents of concern are
not a concern to FGD VVWTS performance. Therefore, co-mingling leachate wastewater is not anticipated
to have negative effects on the quality of the influent to the FGD WWTS. Due to the FGD VVWTS limited

The capacity analysis conducted on the main FGD VVVVTS units: clarifiers, continuous backwash gravity
filters (CBGF), and biological system considering the maximum flow they can treat per surface area
available(flux, gpm/ft2). As shown in Table 3-2, the combined average FGD and leachate flow are within
the treatment capacity of the VVVVTS. However, if the dewatering flow is combined with the FGD purge
and leachate, it results in a flow greater than the FGD VVVVTS can effectively process.
To determine a maximum theoretical flow rate for the VVVVTS, different flow rates were evaluated to
confirm the maximum treatment capacity of each primary FGD VVVVTS unit operation. The analysis was
performed both maintaining N+1 redundancy and utilizing the redundant capacity of the system. A
summary of findings is shown in Table 3-3. Refer to Appendix B for detailed information regarding
technical specifications for each of the units.

• The clarifiers do not present any issues and have enough capacity to handle the combined flows
while maintaining the N+1 redundancy.
• The CBGF can handle up to 1,350 gpm with all units online resulting in zero redundancy. To
maintain an N+1 redundancy with the number of existing units, a max flow of 1,050 gpm is
acceptable. However, the CBGF can operate with a flux of up to 4.9 gpm/ft2.
• The 1st stage of the biological treatment system is the bottleneck for increasing flow. Depending
on nitrate levels coming from the leachate and other flows, the 1st stage biological system may be
able to handle a higher flux to an approximate flow of 1250 gpm; however, it will result in zero
redundancy.
• The 2nd stage biological can process a flow of up to 1,350 gpm with all units online and zero
redundancy.
• Chemical consumption is expected to linearly increase with the flow through the WWTS.
4.0 NPDES PERMIT REVIEW
On 29 May 2020, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ), issued the Final NPDES Permit Renewal, NC0003425, for Roxboro Station. The permit has
three outfalls relevant to this study: Internal Outfall 002 (Ash Pond Treatment System); Internal Outfall
011 (New FGD Treatment System); and Internal Outfall 012B (Lined Retention Basin).
Outfall 002 covers the dewatering of the ash ponds in two phases. The first, decanting of the free water
above the settled ash layer that does not involve mechanical disturbance of the ash, is treated as a
typical low volume wastestream, with limits only for oil &grease(O&G) and total suspended solids (TSS),
along with monitor and reporting requirements for flow, As, Mo, Se and pH. The second phase, removal
of interstitial water, is flow limited to 2.0 million gallons per day (MGD, -1389 gpm)with the same low
volume wastestream limits and expanded monitor and report requirements for Se, As, Hg, Mo, Sb, Cu,
and pH.
Outfall 011 covers the newly installed FGD WWT system. The permit limits TSS and O&G as a low
volume wastestream.As, Hg, Se and nitrate/nitrite are treated in compliance with the 2015 revision to the
Steam Electric Generation Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG). The permit, in Note 2 for Outfall 011,
indicates that compliance sampling shall occur following the bioreactor, apparently discounting the
presence of the UF system. It is assumed that this is an artifact from the previous permit and not picked
up by NCDEQ during the review cycles. It is recommended that this note be clarified with NCDEQ to
definitively include UF operations as part of the treatment system. Note 3 indicates that limits for As, Hg,
Se and nitrate/nitrite do not become effective until December 31, 2021.
Outfall 012E covers the newly installed Lined Retention Basin. The permit limits TSS and O&G as a low
volume wastestream along with monitor and report for ammonia, As, Se, Hg and pH.

ROXBORO LEACHATE TREATMENT ASSESSMENT REPORT
The design basis for the new FGD WWT is to achieve 80 percent of the 2015 ELG monthly average limits
for As, Hg, Se and nitrate/nitrite as shown in Table 4-1. When evaluating the addition of unregulated
non-FGD wastestreams to the treatment system, the ELGs mandate the use of the CWF to calculate
modified limits for the various regulated constituents. The CWF is simply a mass balance, defining the
new concentration-based limits on the allowable mass loading of the regulated stream divided by the
combined flow of the streams. Flows are generally defined as the average daily flow, of at least a 30-day
average. For the purpose of this study, 700 gpm (1.01 MGD) is used as the long-term average daily flow 1
of the FGD purge stream.

4.1 LEACHATE
The CWF was used to calculate likely permit limits for the combined regulated FGD wastestream
(700 gpm) and the unregulated leachate stream (65 gpm). Daily average flows were used to calculate the
limits for the monthly average and daily maximum based of the 2020 FGD limits. The CWF results are
shown in Table 4-3.

4.2 DEWATERING
The CWF was used to calculate likely permit limits when adding the unregulated Ash Basin Dewatering
flow to the combined regulated FGD wastestream (700 gpm) and the unregulated leachate stream (65
gpm). Daily average flows were used to calculate the limits for the monthly average and daily maximum
based of the 2020 FGD limits, Table 4-4. Using the CWF to determine how much dewatering flow would
be allowed to maintain 23.2 ppb Se (target of 80% of 2020 ELG limit) concentration in the effluent yields
110 gpm.

A 110 gpm dewatering flow rate is well below the anticipated 900 gpm flow targeted for ash basin
dewatering requirements. Reviewing the equipment capacity bottlenecks in Table 3-3, yields a net
potential available capacity of 1250 gpm gross internal flow, 1125 gpm net flow, with 360 gpm available
for dewatering. Table 4-5 shows the likely limits for the maximum flow before additional equipment would
need to be added to debottleneck the WWTS.

4.3 VARIABLE FGD FLOW
The highly variable nature of FGD purge flow due to low utilization of the generating units and seasonal
demand, raises the question of what actually is the appropriate regulated flow to use in a concentration
based calculation using the CWF. What limits would be imposed and would they be impractically onerous
so as to preclude the treatment of the unregulated wastestreams of leachate and ash basin dewatering
flows need to be considered.
The assumed intent of adding these unregulated wastestreams to the influent of FGD WWTS is to further
reduce the mass loading of Se to Hyco Lake. Although Se is not specifically limited in the leachate and
dewatering flows, the additional reduction in Se mass load to Hyco Lake can only be of benefit. As such,
the use of mass-based limits, rather than concentration-based limits may be more appropriate for Outfall
011. Using the 900 gpm design basis flow for FGD WWTS and the 2020 ELG based Se limit of 29 pg/L,
would yield a monthly mass loading limit of 4.28 kilograms.

CONVEYANCE5.0 ASH BASIN WATER EV
Duke is considering the possible redirection of dewatering flow from the East and West basin to the
leachate tanks and from there to the existing FGD WWTS. The flows considered by Duke for these
scenarios are an average flow of 650 gpm and peak flow of 900 gpm. Water characterization data for the
dewatered flow was not provided; therefore, the analysis performed was only based of the hydraulic
capacity of the existing process equipment. Based on the capacity analysis of the existing FGD WWTS
process shown in Section 3.2, the treatment system can operate with flows as high as 1,050 gpm (160
gpm of dewatering flow)while maintaining the N+1 redundancy. However, to properly process flows up to
1,350 gpm (460 gpm of dewatering flow)the spare units will need to operate without redundancy. To
process the full average dewatering flow, additional FGD WWTS process equipment would need to be
installed. To make treatment of the dewatering flow more feasible, a volume reduction technology, such
as reverse osmosis (RO), could be evaluated.
The proposed pipe routing and electrical tie-in for a conveyance system from the ash basin to the
leachate tanks is shown in Error! Reference source not found..

Figure 5-1 Ash Basin Dewatering to Leachate Tanks
A Class 5 (-50%to+100%)opinion of probable total installed cost for the dewatering conveyance system
was generated using Aspen In-Plant Cost Estimator v10.1 and is summarized in Table 5-1. No
contingency has been added to the opinion of probable cost.
For the basis, it is assumed that two electric motor driven self-priming pumps will be installed on a
concrete foundation next to the ash pond for dewatering. They will be powered by a local 150 kilo-volt-
ampere (kVA)transformer, powered via aboveground cabling and conduit. The 8-inch double-walled and
fusion-bonded HDPE to the leachate tanks would be run laying on the ground and unsupported.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on findings of this evaluation and discussions with Duke, the FGD WWTS can likely treat the
leachate flows without modifications to the existing FGD WWTS and minor modifications to the leachate
system. This evaluation recommends the following efforts to be executed:
• Conduct sampling to collect leachate quality data to validate that the constituents of concern are
within the FGD WWTS basis of design.
• Conduct sampling to collect FGD WWTS quality data to confirm system performance, including
OF effluent.
• Control leachate tank effluent as close to the average flow of 65 gpm as practical using a flow
control valve.
The evaluation of treating the dewatered wastewater from the East and West ash basin through the FGD
WWTS suggest that major adjustments and additions to the systems are required in order to treat the
expected flow of 900 gpm. However, some of the changes/additions are subject to change based on
Duke's desired to maintain N+1 redundancy and NPDES permit limitations. Based on our evaluation,
1,350 gpm through the FGD WWTS can be treated with additional units of operation to maintain N+1
redundancy with the increased flow. Some of the adjustments recommended to the FGD WWTS to
maintain the N+1 redundancy and increase the capability of treat dewatered flows are:
• Conduct sampling to collect quality data for the dewatered flows.
