OFFICE CP&L-Tillery Plant has submitted CRP Blaze Off cleaning agent for approval. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and letter describing its use have been reviewed and evaluated. The proposed compound does not contain ingredients that are normally considered biocidal and would thus not require individual review and approval using the standard biocide review process. As with the use of many additives, effluent pH may be affected, and should be monitored. Following current permitting practices, the use of this compound should be allowable.

OFEACe Subject: CP&L TILLERY HYDROELECTRIC PLT Certificate of Coverage NCG500189 General Permit NCG500000 Formerly NPDES Permit NC0027529 Montgomery County The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0127 allows the Division to evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCG500000 which shall void NPDES Permit NC0027529. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,1983 and as subsequently amended.

Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please take notice this Certificate. of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division. Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division unless specifically requested, however, the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period ofat least three (3) years.

ATTACHMENT TO NPDES APPLICATION TILLERY HYDROELECTRIC PLANT ITEM 10 • Cooling Water consists of three sources: No. 4 generator air coolers, air compressor cooling, and bearing cooling. The No. 4 generator air coolers discharge directly to the Pee Dee River at a flow of .05-.06 MGD. Water from air compressor cooling and bearing cooling is routed to the sump, which also discharges at .05-.06 MGD. Although the cooling water discharged is warmer than ambient water temperature, the impact on the Pee Dee River is negligible due to low discharge flow and temperature differential. The combined cooling water flows, which are less than one cubic foot per second (cfs), are insignificant compared to the flow of the Pee Dee River, which averages 5400 cfs at the plant. Previous NPDES monitoring for temperature has demonstrated that the heat input to the River does not result in violation of water quality thermal standards. • In addition to cooling water, water from dam leakage and floor drains is also discharged to the Pee Dee River via the sump. ITEM 12 • There are two discharge points to surface 1. No. 4 Generator Air Coolers 2. Sump (air compressor cooling, plant floor drains) ITEM 14 water: bearing cooling, • The Tillery plant does not use any biocides or chemical additives in the cooling water flows. The only substances that the Tillery Plant could potentially add are 1) trace amounts of metals from normal corrosion/erosion of piping/equipment that comes into contact with water and 2) oil and grease. Previous NPDES monitoring indicated that the oil and grease concentration is normally very low. In the unlikely event of an oil spill, oil and grease would be collected in the sump. Should this occur, oil detectors in the sump would activate alarms and disable the pump, preventing discharge to the river. Any oil collected in the sump would be removed with an oil skimmer and disposed of properly. Additionally, the Tillery Plant has a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan which addresses procedures for minimizing the risk of spillage. Carolina Powor & Light Company P. O.

NC0027529 MONTGOMERY COUNTY Dear Permittee: The subject permit issued on 5/12/89 expires on 12/31/91. North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for renewal. If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $300.00; larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting permit renewal along with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15 NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant analysis in accordance with Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the application. In addition to penalties referenced above, a permit renewal request received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will require the higher application fee.

The application processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate, listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presently, no facility is allowed to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for renewal. The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990 (attached), requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is_approved. The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate fee should be sent to: Permits and Engineering Unit Division of Environmental Management Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.

OFFICE SUBJECT: NPDES Permits Chlorination of Cooling Water Monitoring Requirements Carolina Power and Light Company The .D1vision. of Environmental .Management has reviewed your...letter of August .G;•-- 1986, concerning chlorine monitoring for cooling water discharges at the steam electric generating plants. Your letter states that chlorine monitoring is required at a plant whenever it is operating, regardless of whether it is using chlorine 9r not. A review of the permit for Roxboro verifies this point. It is assumed that all other permits are similar to the Roxboro permit. The Division of Environmental Management has presumed that Carolina Power and Light Company uses chlorine at its facilities on a regular basis. Your letter indicates that this may not be the case. To clarify the matter, Carolina Power and Light should conduct chlorine monitoring as specified by each permit during any calendar month in which chlorine is used at each of the steam electric generating plants. Chlorine sampling will not be_ required in any month chlorine_ is not used ;Chlorine fs==not used'dur`img-La---calenela+r te nth ;you should"-Oaieit'e_:t5st_chlor nerf hhas_ not been_ use ed�o a Discharg-e=Mo_nitoring Report“fM-bye the use of a "W' in the`>ap�or rate blanks.- The NPDES Permits will be revised with this wording when each permit is renewed.
