F- - PES Permit No. NC,0005789 Westinghouse Electric Corporation Charlotte Turbine/Generator Plant Mecklenburg County Charlotte, NC 2 273 Dear Ms. Sullins: Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Charlotte Turbine/Generator Plant, hereby requests renew -al of it existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination system (NPDE ) Permit to discharge its non -contact cooling water to the receiving waters of Lake Wylie, of the Catawba River Basin, Enclosed is the permit application completed and signed by an authorized officer of the corporation along with our corporate draft in the amount of four hundred dollars ( Alt 0,00) the required processing fee. As outlined in our current pennit, the effluent waters discharged. by Westinghouse to Lake Wylie are exclusively non -contact cooling and receive no chemical treatment, therefore, as instructed by your office, Westinghouse hereby requests exemption from the priority pollutant analysis as part of this permit renewal application. Westinghouse had previously advised Mr. B. Rex. Gleason of your Mooresville office, that additional discharges not emanating from or controlled by the Westinghouse hou turbine Generator Plant appeared to be entering the Westinghouse spray pond upstream of outfall 001, Drawing MS 2001A indicates the locations Mons of these discharges in relation to the Westinghouse spray pond. In conversations with Mr. Gleason, we pointed out that these other discharge sources may have the potential to influence Westinghouse's permitted outfall 00 1. PV Ms. Sullins March 11, 1993 Page- 2 The discharges appear to be from storm water runoff from new construction and industrial activities in the area. We understand that your office has issued permits for the discharges, with outfalls into the Westinghouse spray pond, Mr, Gleason advised its that this issue would be considered when the permit was renewed. As part of our Renewal Application, Westinghouse below outlines its concerns tegarding the additional discharges entering our spray pond from off -site sources. As our permit indicates, the Westinghouse discharge to the pond, consisting of only non -contact cooling water, has not been problematic. Westinghouse has at its own expense sampled the non -Westinghouse discharges at their point of entry into the spray pond. The analytical results are attached for your review. You mill note that the results indicate some elevated levels of metals in the discharges, By contrast, analyses of our permitted outfall 001 for metals, plienols, conventional and non -conventional pollutants, BOO, COD, TOC, TSS, ammonia, and pH (also attached) do not reflect such results. These analyses of the Westinghouse outfall confirm that, consistent with results of past sampling, Westin ghouse's discharges conform to regulatory requirements. Obviously, we are concerned that this situation may change over time, as the new discharges over which we have no control continue into our pond. Although these discharges may not present a problem now, at some point these may negatively impact the water at outfall 001, which to this point has consistently tested to be well NNithin applicable standards. Westinghouse does not believe it should be responsible for such a situation. Westinghouse thus requests some reassurance from your office, which we understand has issued permits for these new discharges, that we will not be prejudiced under our renewed permit because of these sources, and the potential that these sources inay contain regulated _pollutants which Westinghouse does not discharge. Westinghouse should not be held responsible for, not should it be penalized, if for example, additional testing or monitoring is required because of these new discharges or if the new discharges cause exceedance of Westinghouse's permit, We, request that your renewal of our permit reflect these considerations. If you require additional information or have questions or comments concerning this application.

This limitation is defined as "Annual Ave:raa p" in Part i of they permit. Part I Page 12 of 14 6. Concentratioci I t' a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges samples and/car measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic moan of the daily concentration values)m The`daaily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flocs value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly county for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during <a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or "Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in fart I of the permit. b.

Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge; 8. !YR—es- -of a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at equal intervals and combined propottional to flow, A Sample continuously collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes tal,,en at varying time intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the following requirements apply. The intervals bete O(In influent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the interval between grab samples shall, be no greater in number of hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in DO case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. 9. Calculation of Means 8. Arithmetic Mean: The qrithmptic mean of any sot of Values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual. values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individ"al values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of earl) concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part ii Page 14 of 1 to.
