Per a memo from Duke Power to Cal Sullins dated April 9, 1996, Duke Power plans to separate the industrial and domestic waste streams. The TTC's industrial wastewaters will, be routed to McGuire's outfall, 002 (NCO024392). The domestic wastewater will be routed to McGuire's outfall 003. By the end of 1996 rerouting of the wastewater is scheduled to be completed and all of the TTC's discharges (001,002,003, and 004) will be eliminated. pppppp� ,G. The facility failed its acute tonicity test twice in 1994. Since then the facility has consistently passed. high effluent chlorine concentrations repo md in the DMRs may have been responsible for the toxicity test failures. The facility has been compliant with their other permit limits. Mercury concentrations above a detection level of 0.1 ug1L, have been measured ure since the last permitrenewal in 1993. A mercurylimit continues to be recommended given that Lake Norman an is heavily used for primary recreation and fishing. A. Ceriodaphnia toxicity test continues to be recommended as opposed to the standard fathead minnow test, Duke Power has a certified ;lab for Cerios but not for fatheads. Since the C:erio test is considered more restrictive this deviation from the standard tox test is considered acceptable.

ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FA11L PERMIT LIN41T (QR The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining :Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent Concentration." The monitoring shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 24 hour static test, usingeffluent collected as a 24 hour composite. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document): Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge' below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of February, May, August and November. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition: will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR- I) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE6C. Additionally, DEM Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina ]Division of Environmental Management 441 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, N.C. 27607 Test data shall be complete and accurate d include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests; as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance pli with monitoring requirements. } Page Thee .

Goodrich: We appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and your staff on January 11. 1996, to discuss our request to modify the monitoring frequency of selected parameters and upcoming NPI ES permit renewals, Also thanks for taking time to tour our Lincoln Combustion Turbine and Riverbend Steam Station facilities. Per our discussion concerning our letter of request (dated November 30, 1996) to change monitoring requirements for selected parameters at the fossil stations listed above;, the $100.00 processing fee for mirror modification of each permit is enclosed. A check of $700.00 for the seven permits is attached. Also enclosed is a cheek totaling $16 0,00 for the $400.00 processing fee per permit for renewal of the Plant Allen Permit No. =NC0004979,;the Lean River Steam Station Permit No. NC0002=168, the Riverbend Steam Station Permit No. NC0004961, and the Training and Technology Center Permit NCO026 55. As we noted in our letter dated December 22, 1995, the permit renewal applications for these four facilities have been submitted previously, Since these submittals coincided with on -,going modification requests and alignment of permitting with waterbasin plans, the expiration date of the modified perinits was changed to align with their respective waterbasin plan. Because of this overlap of activities, we agreed that these prior application submittals would suffice for this permit renewal process and that permitting renewal fees would be paid. i Please contact Ron Lewis, (70 ) 875-59 8 or one, (70 )-875- 95 , if you have questions.

The monitoring shall be performed as Ceriodaphnia Dubia 24 hour static test; using effluent collected as a 24 hour composite. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed after thirty ;days from the effective date of this permit during the months of February, May, August and November. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter aide TGE6C. Additionally; DEM Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environrnental Management 4401 Reedy Creek Read Raleigh, N.C. 27607 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. "Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified li ts, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina, Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document; such s minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test d will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event).

This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 14 -215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983. Can May 17, 1993 and September 8, 1993 the Division of Environmental Management received comments concerning the above mentioned NPDES draft permit. DEM appreciates your concerns and comments so we may develop the best protection for the receiving waters. DEM's response to the comments are as follows and are in the order as they appear in the May 1, 1993 letter and the September 8 ,1993 letter': 1 The classification of ;the receiving stream has been changed to reflect the correct, classification of WS-IV and B. 2. DEM has noted that the laboratory waste drain facilities exist and has eliminated the Authorization to Construct language. However, an authorization to construct requirement has been added for the physical separation for the outfalls 001 and 003: 3. N113 as N has been removed` from the effluent pages. Duk's past data on this parameter shows that the level is well within the allowable concentration and no violation is expected. 44. The recommended limits and monitoring requirements for the radioactive substances are fresh surface water quality standards as cited in North Carolina Regulation 1A NCAC 2P .0211 (b)(1), These standards are reviewed for all applications for NPDES permits,; and limits are assigned by DEM for the protection of the water quality of the receiving waters. If monitoring data for specific radioactive substances is required by the Division of Radiation Protection and is already being collected by Duke Power, this same data could be reviewed for the parameters by DEM and submitted with self -monitoring data for the NPDES permit. However, because radium 26, radium 228 and gross alpha have not .0, Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone 1 -7 - Q FAX919-733-2496 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycledl 1 Q post -consumer paper shown concentrations in the effluent, items (i) and (ii) have been removed from the effluent requirements. 5 .After review of the files, DEM will agree to the change of the test organism to Ceriodaphnia dubia. This change will provide equal or better environmental protection. Concerns as to the chlorine levels in the discharge and the effects on the toxicity test were expressed. This likely will effect the toxicity test and Duke should consider some form of dechlorination. Since 198 DEM has routinely placed WET limits in major and/or complex discharge permits and facilities with post -chlorination so this requirement does not represent any new initiative as was thought be Duke Power. 6. The guidelines for the toxicity test state that the sample must be collected by a composite sample. For proper results, the composite sample must remain. 7. The language stated in Part 11, section B. 12 page 7 of 14 shall remain in the permit as stated. For definition of the word "cause", please reference the Federal Guidelines 40 C:FP 122 Subpart D ( 122.61,122.62, 122.63, 122.64) 8.. As stated in number 5 above, DEM agrees to the change in the organism to Ceriodaphnia Dubia. However the use of Fathead minnow would not be appropriate true to the differences in sensitivity between the two organisms. The whop -effluent tonicity test recommended for this discharge is meant to evaluate 'acute toxicity to fish species in an immediate dilution area around the eutfall. The vertebrate and invertebrate species would provide unnecessary variability ability in the sensitivity of the analysis over time and cannot be allowed. 9. In a letter received June 28, 1993, nuke requested the addition of minimal flow from the processor/silver recovery unittothe sanitary treatment unit with discharge through outf ll ti t; After review of the information, DEM .finals no problem with the addition of this wastestrearn and :has added it to the permit. 10. In the September 8, 1993 letter, Duke requested the removal of radium 226, radium 228, gross alpha., gross beta and tritium requirements. After further review of additional data received September 15, the requirements for radium 226, radium 28 and alpha have been removed from the permit because they are not present in the lab effluent. However, requirement (iii) for beta emitters will remain because they occur in the effluent. DEM understands that Duke Power Co. plans to eliminate the discharges from this facility by connecting the industrial waste components to Mcuire's WWTP and' routing all the domestic from both plants to CMTD. This is an excellent decision and will be beneficial for both the environment and Duke Power. ;However, DEM must proceed with this permit on the basis that the relocation may not occur. This permit will expire June 30, 1995. At this time these relocation plans will be closer to completion. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicative hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please e notice this permit is not transferable, .Fart 11, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of charge in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.. if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Randy Kepler at telephone number 919/733-553.

This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Li ts" in Part. I of the permit, e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the mittimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. ' It i identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I. . The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the pe t g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods. January through /March. April through June, July through September} and October through December. Dart 11 Page 3 of 14 Cher Measurements a. Floes.

EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING, REQUIREMENTS FINAL OUTFL 001) - "Radioactive Substances" In the description of the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements, monitoring requirements for radium-228, radium-22, alpha emitters (including radiu s-225), and beta emitter strontium-90 are specified. Typically, NPDES permits have NOT been used to monitor and report radioactive substances. The radioactive substances at the TTC facility are controlled and monitored by N. C. Radioactive .Materials License No.. 60-0379-3 issued by the N.C, Division of Radiation Protection. 1pr'The requirements under this license provide sufficient control for the protection of the environment. The addition of monitoring requirements for radioactive substances in the NPDES permit will result in dual regulation. We feel it would be more appropriate that the control and regulation of these substances remain under the domain of the Division of Radiation Protection. However, if the State is interested in adopting the monitoring and reporting of radioactive substances in the NPDES permit, we would like to point out that many of the isotopes specified above (radium-226, radium-228, strontium-90, etc.) are NOT present in our waste stream. Data is available which can be used to develop a more representative monitoring and sampling program if this is desired. However, we maintain that it is not in the best interest of the State or the permittee to impose dual regulatory requirements. 5. PART A: EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FINAL (OUTFALL 001) - "Acute Toxicity" The Duke Power biomonitoring lab <does not presently culture fathead minnows, nor are we certified by NCDEM for this parameter, since all other company discharges, including permitted toxicity monitoring, require only testing. In the recently issued Belews Creek permit, DEM agreed to allow the use of Ceriodaphnia_dubia for acute toxicity testing at that facility instead of the fathead minnow. It should be emphasized that under current operational practices (.1 to 1.5 mg/L chlorine residual at the NPDES sample point), this discharge would routinely demonstrate acute toxicity to either fathead minnows or Ceriod���ma. In order to comply with these proposed NPDES permit requirements, a dechlorination system will need to be placed on the discharge of the system. DEM has not required toxicity testing in the past on outfalls with chlorine residual. We request confirmation that DEM is requiring toxicity monitoring on outfalls with chlorine statewide and that this policy is being required of all discharges. If toxicity testing is required on outfall 001, then a Schedule of Compliance will be necessary to install dechlorination equipment. It toxic languag minnow languag decisior. permits �ule FV . PART : EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS :D MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FIN -- "Grab" Samples Since the retention time of the 001 outfall is substantially greater than 0 ' days, we feel that the sampling requirement for toxicity testing should be for collection of a single b sample, in lieu of s 24-hour composite sample. Previous guidance from DEM to our lab personnel has been that composite samples are required only where the treatment basin retention times are less than 14 days, and/or the basin is not homogeneous. 7. PART 11. SECTION B. 17 of 14 states: "This permit may be modified, revoked and; reissued, or terminated for cause.

PART III "OTHER REQUIREMENTS", , SECTION "G" Based on the previous comments, we request the language be changed to ;require quarterly either a 4-hoar acute pass/fail fathead minnow or C,erioda hnia test at 9Q effluent, using effluent collected as a single grab sample.

Addition July 23, 1980 E�cistin Treatment Facilities The existing wastewater treatment system was constructed under NPDES permit number NCO02655 for the Training and Technology Center. This system consists of a 0.02 MG0 tubular aerated lagoon, followed by a 60,000 CPC? capacity sand filter, and two 50,000 GPa capacity Sanuril'chlorinators. This system was in- stalled to handle total Center sanitary needs and miscellaneous laboratory drains. Phase 11 Addition Phase 11 of the Training and Technology Center will include addition of aquatic test tanks in the laboratory. Test tanks will be installed to perform bio ni- toring studies to evaluate the effect of potential pollutants associated with the steam electric utility industry on the aquatic environment. The contents of they test tanks may be natural water used as control tanks, or specially prepared water containing potential pollutants at test concentrations. The aquatic test laboratory will establish administrative procedures to control the volume of water to be discharged. The test tanks will be capable of dis- charging as much as 48,000 GPO, If this volume were combined with the remain- der of the waste volume, then the total would be 71,260 GPD as shown can the application. However, the administrative procedures to be established for the aerated lagoon will control the amount of water discharged to 20,000 GPD which can be treated effectively, ThArp ArA zAvorai mpthnr c "tkti-k mnit, k, ..&-,f cve: u UY easy Ul cslt-- tvi lurttra 111=4.e1ctu . discharge point 001. sand filter - chlorinator -*.discharge poin001.
