Environmental Quality September 9, 2021 Compliance Evaluation Inspection Duke Energy — Roxboro Steam Plant NPDES Permit No. NCO003425 Person County On August 18, 2021 Jason Robinson of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the Duke Energy Roxboro Steam Plant. The assistance provided by Mr. Kevin Clayton (Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC)), Ms. Amber Sarver (Chemistry & Process Safety Management Supervisor & bORC) and Lori Tollie (Permitting and Compliance) was appreciated. • The facility is located at 1700 Dunnaway Road in Semora, North Carolina. • NPDES permit NC0003425 was modified and issued for the treatment facilities on August 1, 2021 and expires on June 30, 2025. • The facility has both Grade I Physical/Chemical Water Pollution Control Systems that treat industrial wastewater (numerous Outfalls) and a Grade li Biological Water Pollution Control system with an as - built and permitted flow of 0.025 MGD that treats domestic wastewater (Outfall 008). • The permit authorizes the facility to discharge the treated wastewater through Outfalls 001, 003 and 006, with accompanying monitoring requirements and limits, to receiving waters designated as Hyco Lake, a waterbody classified as WS-V and B waters within the Roanoke River Basin. The permit also authorizes the discharge of numerous internal outfalls, with accompanying monitoring requirements and limits. Finding during the compliance inspection were as follows: 1. The operator's on -site log and supporting documentation was reviewed and found to be complete. 2. The Roxboro Stem Plant's on -site lab is field certified for and self -reports monitoring data for the following parameters (Certification Number 5080): pH, Temperature and Turbidity. Meter calibration logs were reviewed and found to be complete, buffers were within expiration dates, and refrigerator temperature and log was within range. Samples are transported offsite to the Duke Analytical Lab (certification number 248) to analyze additional parameters. A few parameters are sent to be analyzed by a commercial lab. 3.
