Revsion 5 September 2020
1.0 General Requirements
1.1 Purpose
The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) has issued Duke Energy
Progress, LLC a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the Harris
Nuclear Plant. The permit authorizes the permittee to discharge storm water from the station in
accordance with the discharge limitations, monitoring requirements and other conditions set
forth in the permit. The permit number is NCS0039586 and expires on August 31, 2021.
1.2 SWPPP Development
The permit requires the permittee to develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) for the station. The SWPPP is a comprehensive site -specific plan which details
measures and practices at the station to reduce and/or eliminate storm water pollution and is
based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site. The body of this document focuses
on development of the SWPPP and the framework of permit compliance which will likely remain
unchanged throughout the permit cycle. Where significant changes do occur to the content of
the body of the SWPPP, the plan will be amended as required by the permit conditions. The
body of the SWPPP is developed to sequentially and specifically address the requirements of
Part I of the permit and provides references to the subsections of the permit.
Due to the fluid nature of implementing a SWPPP for a complex site such as the Harris Nuclear
Plant, the detailed content and documentation of the frequent plan responsibilities are compiled
in the appendices. The series of appendices includes SWPPP content in more concise formats
such as fact sheets, tables, forms, data, and procedures which can be easily amended for site
changes or completed for demonstration of compliance. The appendices may grow in content
through the permit cycle as the SWPPP evolves to adapt to changing site conditions and
operations.
In addition, the Harris Nuclear Plant may utilize company software and databases to ensure the
scheduling, completion, and documentation of SWPPP requirements. E-Track is an event
management database system used to schedule deadlines for reoccurring events such as
inspections, monitoring, and annual updates or record significant events, such as reportable
spills. The system provides for ownership of tasks, assignment of staff, electronic notification,
and simple documentation of event completion. It may be used to the extent it aids in the
implementation of the SWPPP and therefore be a repository of permit compliance. To the
extent possible, output from the system will be compiled for archival in the SWPPP. Another
database system, Consolidated Access Suite (CAS), may be utilized in conjunction with E-Track
to document station operations that demonstrate compliance with the permit requirements.
Typically, this system is used to direct maintenance and operational tasks for the purposes of
sustaining power generation thereby limiting failures in service and equipment that may
Page 3 of 88

Revsion 5 September 2020
otherwise contribute to storm water contamination or unauthorized discharges. These systems
will be periodically referenced for their use in scheduling implementation and documenting
compliance.
1.3 Management Certification

Revsion 5 September 2020
DIESEL FUEL AND GASOLINE STORAGE
Diesel fuel and gasoline is stored at the plant in several different tanks and containers at the
plant. The diesel fuel is primarily used as fuel for emergency diesel generators at the plant.
The diesel fuel and gasoline is used to fuel plant vehicles and miscellaneous equipment. The
largest containers at the plant are two 175,000 gallon underground diesel fuel storage tanks
located north of the plant, and two 110,000 gallon field -erected aboveground diesel fuel storage
tanks located in the southwestern area of the plant yard. The aboveground tanks are located
within a single common concrete secondary containment structure equipped with a closed drain
valve. Drainage from the containment discharges into the plant 10,000 gallon capacity
Oil/Water Separator. The plant contains eight additional aboveground diesel fuel tanks, one
aboveground gasoline tank, and numerous 55 gallon petroleum storage drums. The remaining
tanks are small, shop -fabricated steel tanks maintained at various locations around the plant.
The plant contains one 1,000 gallon underground diesel fuel storage tank at the Security
Building, and one 10,000 gallon underground diesel fuel storage tank and one 10,000 gallon
underground gasoline storage tank in the Mobile Equipment Area. The plant also maintains one
small diesel fuel tank and one small gasoline tank on a mobile fuel truck.
A complete listing of these containers, including inspection and testing requirements, secondary
containment descriptions and inspection requirements, and tanker unloading operation
requirements are described in detail in the Harris Nuclear Plant SPCC Plan. All diesel fuel and
gasoline storage tanks are provided with some means of passive secondary containment or are
integral double -walled containers as described in detail in the Harris Nuclear Plant SPCC Plan.
All external containments are inspected prior to being manually drained in accordance with the
SPCC Plan. Secondary containments either drain into the plant 10,000 gallon capacity
Oil/Water Separator, or onto the plant yard. Mobile tanks are stored in areas that drain to the
Oil/Water Separator while in standby mode.
Refueling operations for all diesel fuel and gasoline containers are conducted in constant
attendance in accordance with plant procedures and the Harris Nuclear Plant SPCC Plan.
Tanker trucks are brought on -site to refill the two 175,000 gallon underground diesel fuel
storage tanks and the two aboveground 110,000 gallon diesel fuel storage tanks. Tanker
unloading into the two 175,000 gallon underground storage tanks, and into the two 110,000
gallon aboveground storage tanks, is conducted on a concrete containment pad adjacent to the
tanks. The containment is equipped with open drains to the Oil/Water Separator. Tanker trucks
are also brought on -site to refill the other aboveground and underground diesel fuel and
gasoline tanks. These tankers unloading operations are conducted adjacent to the containers
and in constant attendance in accordance with plant procedures. Prior to filling any container,
tank levels are verified by electronic high-level and low-level annunciators, visual sight glasses,
or are otherwise verified as described in the plant SPCC Plan.
Page 8 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
The plant contains diesel fuel piping primarily associated with the delivery of diesel fuel from the
two 110,000 gallon aboveground diesel fuel storage tanks to the emergency diesel generator
system, and to other locations and systems. The piping is located aboveground or within
concrete trenches. None of this piping is in contact with the soil. Portions of this piping are
located within the secondary containment structure surrounding the tanks or at the fuel
forwarding skid within the containment pad for the tanker unloading station. All aboveground
piping outside of these concrete containments, and all piping within the concrete trenches, is
provided secondary containment by open drains to the Oil/Water Separator. Diesel fuel transfer
operations from the tanks to the emergency diesel generator system is an automated process.
Facility operations personnel conduct daily routine facility walk -downs to observe all
aboveground piping, valves, expansion joints, flange joints, and structural supports.
There are no changes warranted to reduce the potential for impacts to storm water runoff
associated with diesel fuel and gasoline storage practices or tanker unloading operations at the
facility. All diesel fuel and gasoline containers are in compliance with the plant SPCC Plan.
USED OIL STORAGE AND HANDLING
Used oil is collected and stored in eleven small tanks and containers at the plant. The largest
used oil tanks are one 4,000 gallon steel tank and one 2,000 steel gallon tank in the Mobile
Equipment Area. These two tanks are within a common concrete containment structure. There
is a 1,000 gallon steel used oil tank adjacent to the Oil/Water Separator that collects used oil
removed by the separator. This tank is within the same concrete containment pad as the
separator. There is a 1,000 gallon steel used oil tank adjacent to the Emergency Diesel
Generator Building and within a concrete containment structure. There are three 220 gallon
poly used oil containers at the plant. Two of these containers are within a common metal
containment bin on a covered concrete pad at the Paint Shop. The remaining container is
within a concrete containment structure in the Mobile Equipment Area. The plant has a 1,000
gallon steel used oil tank mounted on a mobile trailer. While in standby mode the trailer is
maintained in an area of the plant with yard drains that discharge into the Oil/Water Separator.
There is a 100 gallon hydrogen seal oil drain tank within a concrete containment structure
adjacent to the Turbine Building, and a 200 gallon oil filter drain tank inside the Mobile
Equipment Building. The plant also maintains two 55 gallon used cooking oil drums maintained
within a poly containment shelter at the east end of the Service Building.
A complete listing of all used oil tanks, including inspection and testing requirements, secondary
containment descriptions and inspection requirements, and tanker loading operation
requirements are described in detail in the Harris Nuclear Plant SPCC Plan. All external
containments are inspected and manually drained in accordance with the SPCC Plan.
Secondary containments either drain into the plant 10,000 gallon capacity Oil/Water Separator,
or onto the plant yard. Mobile tanks are stored in areas that drain to the Oil/Water Separator
while in standby mode. Tanker trucks are brought on -site to load used oil as needed from the
Page 9 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
various used oil tanks. The tanker loading operations are conducted adjacent to the containers
and in constant attendance in accordance with plant procedures.
There are no changes warranted to reduce the potential for impacts to storm water runoff
associated with used oil storage practices or tanker loading operations at the facility. All used
oil containers are in compliance with the plant SPCC Plan.
LUBE OIL STORAGE
The plant has three lube oil storage tanks consisting of one 14,000 gallon Turbine Generator
Batch Oil Tank and two 1,500 gallon Turbine Lube Oil Sump Tanks. All three tanks are located
within concrete containment basins inside the Turbine Building. The inspection and testing
requirements for these lube oil tanks is described in detail in the Harris Nuclear Plant SPCC
Plan. There are no changes warranted to reduce the potential for impacts to storm water runoff
associated with these lube oil tanks.
OIL -FILLED EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS
Oil -filled equipment and systems at the plant includes lubrication oils, mineral oils and hydraulic
oils maintained within closed conduit systems. These oils are used in hydraulic systems,
lubricating systems, gear boxes, machining coolant systems, heat transfer systems,
transformers and circuit breakers. Oil -filled equipment and systems, including container
inspection requirements and secondary containment descriptions and inspection requirements,
are described in detail in the Harris Nuclear Plant SPCC Plan.
The plant contains four lube oil and hydraulic oil reservoir systems located inside the Turbine
Building. These reservoir systems are not exposed to storm water. Any oil release occurring
from these systems will enter open floor drains that discharge into the plant Oil/Water
Separator.
The largest oil -filled equipment containers exposed to storm water are large transformers
containing mineral oil and located in the Transformer Yard on the east side of the Turbine
Building. This equipment consists of three 9,180 gallon Start -Up Transformers, four 7,780
gallon Main Step -Up Transformers, and two 5,500 gallon Auxiliary Transformers. All of these
transformers are within a concrete containment sump equipped with a manually operated
dewatering pump. Containment contents are inspected in accordance with the plant SPCC Plan
prior to dewatering, and sump contents are pumped to the plant Oil/Water Separator. There are
no changes warranted to reduce the potential for impacts to storm water runoff associated with
the large transformers.
Smaller oil -filled equipment containers exposed to storm water include numerous pad -mounted
service transformers containing mineral oil located at various locations around the plant. These
Page 10 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
transformers are used to provide power to the various buildings and facilities at the plant, and
are generally not provided with any means of passive secondary containment. Any mineral oil
release occurring from these service transformers would result in failure of the unit and
subsequent loss of power. The plant relies on system monitoring, frequent inspections,
preventative maintenance, and active containment measures as described in the plant SPCC
Plan to contain any potential release occurring from these transformers. A mineral oil release
from these units will typically discharge vertically into the underlying conduit penetrations which
will provide some degree of containment. The potential for storm water impacts associated with
mineral oil releases from any of these uncontained pad -mounted transformers is minimal, and
could be reduced by the installation of dedicated secondary containments with manually
operated drain valves or open drains to the Oil/Water Separator.
CHEMICAL STORAGE AND HANDLING
Various chemicals are used at the plant for water treatment and other purposes. Bulk
chemicals are delivered by tanker trucks and unloaded into respective storage tanks at
designated locations. Smaller chemical containers and drums are delivered to the receiving
area of Warehouse 9 for storage or subsequent transport via company vehicles to the Water
Treatment Building, Paint Shop, Bulk Warehouse, Chemical Warehouse, the Sewage Treatment
Plant, and other locations. Plant personnel are trained in safe forklift usage, safe handling of
chemicals, and proper use of spill containment and cleanup materials. Spill kits are located at
receiving areas.
Two 5,500 gallon sodium hypochlorite tanks, one 5,600 gallon phosphoric acid tank, three 4,500
gallon water treatment chemical storage tanks and other smaller chemical containers are used
for water treatment and analysis purposes at the Cooling Tower. The sodium hypochlorite tank
and other small tanks and containers are within a concrete containment. The containment can
be drained to the yard drainage system or can be pumped into the Cooling Tower basin. Small
containers of chemicals used for analysis are stored inside the chemical storage building.
Four bulk chemical storage tanks, consisting of a 10,800 gallon caustic tank, a 7,500 gallon
sulfuric acid tank, a 1,500 gallon empty ammonia tank, and a liquid nitrogen to gaseous nitrogen
tank are located at the south end of the Turbine Building. These tanks are within containments
that can be drained to the yard drainage system or to a sump that discharges to the Oil/Water
Separator. An 8,315 gallon sulfuric acid storage tank is located at the east end of the Water
Treatment Building. This tank is within a concrete containment with an open drain to a sump
that pumps to the Neutralization Basin. Sodium carbonate, sodium hypochlorite, sodium
hydroxide, and water treatment polymers are stored in tanks and containers at the Sewage
Treatment Plant. Some of these tanks and containers are stored in totes inside metal buildings
with built-in sumps.
All chemical storage tanks and containers are provided with some means of containment
consisting of secondary containment structures with manually operated drain valves, secondary
Page 11 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
containment structures with open drains to other containment or treatment systems, or are
stored inside buildings. All external containments with drain valves are inspected prior to being
manually draining. All chemical deliveries are conducted adjacent to the containers or at
receiving areas in constant attendance and in accordance with plant procedures. Chemical
container levels are verified prior to initiating any tanker unloading operation. There are no
changes warranted to reduce the potential for impacts to storm water runoff associated with the
storage and handling of chemicals.
WASTE HANDLING AND STORAGE
Waste chemicals and oils produced inside the protected area of the plant is typically transported
to and processed in the chemical processing area of the Paint Shop. These materials are
stored within a covered concrete containment area with open drains to the Oil/Water Separator.
Waste chemicals produced outside the protected area of the plant are typically transported to,
processed and stored in Warehouse 6. Waste oils produced outside the protected area of the
plant are typically transported to the used oil tanks in the Mobile Equipment Area.
Hazardous materials are accumulated in designated satellite waste storage areas at the plant.
All satellite accumulation areas are either under shelters or are inside buildings. All hazardous
waste generated at the plant is eventually transported to and stored in the Central Hazardous
Waste Storage Area located under a shelter attached to the Chemical Warehouse.
Dumpsters and roll -off containers are used at certain locations to collect inert materials and
solid waste for disposal. No liquids or other materials that could potentially impact storm water
are disposed of in external dumpsters. Two closed trash compactors are located west of the
Chemical Warehouse. Recyclable waste materials are collected in covered storage containers
at several locations inside buildings.
There are no changes warranted to reduce the potential for impacts to storm water runoff
associated with waste handling and storage.
EXTERNAL STORAGE, LAYDOWN AND PARKING AREAS
Inert materials such as miscellaneous wood, structural steel, cable, empty drums and other
metal components are stored at various external laydown yard areas at the plant. These
laydown areas are typically paved or gravel -surfaced. No liquids or materials that could
potentially impact storm water are stored on external laydown areas. Cranes and other mobile
equipment are parked on the crane laydown yard and in other external parking and storage
areas. This equipment can contain oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids and other materials that represent
potential storm water impacts. Plant employees are trained to promptly report and respond to
spills.
Page 12 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
Other materials such as soil, sand, gravel, compost, concrete and asphalt may be stockpiled at
certain locations on a temporary basis until the material can be recycled, reused or properly
disposed of off -site. Stockpiled materials such as soil that could potentially result in the
mobilization of sediments when exposed to rainfall are covered, stabilized by temporary or
permanent seeding or are otherwise provided with necessary sediment control measures.
Drainage areas containing external storage, laydown and parking areas are described in
Appendix B. The potential for storm water impacts associated with these external areas could
be reduced by covering materials such as soil, gravel, treated lumber, flaking painted surfaces
and other materials that represent the greatest potential for such impacts, by regular inspections
and maintenance of mobile equipment, and by maintaining mobile equipment inside temporary
containments while parked. Constructing permanent shelters over these external areas to
prevent contact with storm water is cost prohibitive.
SECURITY TRAINING AND FIRING RANGE
The plant maintains a designated facility for security training purposes that includes an external
firing range. The range is located west of the plant on the north side of the Emergency Service
Water Intake Canal. Lead -based ammunition is routinely fired into bullet traps at the range.
Storm water runoff from this area flows south and southwest overland into the adjoining
Emergency Service Water Intake Canal. The embankment soil pH is routinely monitored and
maintained within a range to prevent the lead from becoming soluble. Security personnel
maintain an inventory of expended rounds fired and routinely harvesting lead from bullet traps or
the soil.
There are no changes warranted to reduce the potential for impacts to storm water runoff
associated with the security training and firing range. Constructing permanent shelters over the
firing range to eliminate exposure to rainfall is cost prohibitive.
Duke Energy continuously pursues strategies to holistically manage the exposure of storm
water to power generation, waste disposal, and facility management operations. These efforts
consider the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or
storage practices. The details from the planning, design, and construction of such improvements
shall be incorporated into the SWPPP upon completion.

2.2.2 Secondary Containment Requirements and Records
NPDES Permit Reference: Part 1, Section A 21.2b(2)
The plant manages numerous oil -based liquids and non -oil based liquids and chemicals which
are critical to power generation and transmission, water treatment, waste handling and
treatment, and operation of vehicles and equipment.
The Harris Nuclear Plant is subject to the requirements of U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Oil Pollution Prevention Regulation 40 CFR Part 112 because the oil storage
capacity at the facility exceeds 1,320 gallons and the proximity to waters of the United States.
As a result, the facility maintains a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC)
Plan pursuant to, 40 CFR Part 112. This plan addresses secondary containment, inspections
and record keeping requirements for all oil containers of 55 gallon capacity and greater. A copy
of the SPCC is not included in the SWPPP as the document is actively managed at all times for
evolving site conditions; however, a current version is maintained in the Nuclear Fusion
document data base and a version with mark-ups is maintained in the office of the Site
Environmental Coordinator(s) and referenced herein.
Pursuant to this section of the permit, secondary containment is required for the bulk storage of
liquid materials, storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments
and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, and storage in any amount of
hazardous substances, in order to prevent spills and leaks from contaminating storm water
runoff. Secondary containments shall be sized to contain the full capacity of the single largest
container within the containment structure. Secondary containments exposed to precipitation
shall also have additional capacity to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. This additional
capacity requirement shall take into consideration any storm water runoff entering the
containment structure from upland areas if applicable. Secondary containments draining into
storm water conveyance systems or onto the ground surface shall be equipped with manually -
operated, lockable or otherwise secured drain valves or dewatering pumps. Flapper -type valves
shall not be used.
Accumulated storm water within secondary containments shall be visually inspected for color,
foam, outfall staining, presence of sheen, oils or chemicals prior to release in accordance with
the frequencies specified in the plant SPCC Plan. Inspections will include observation for leaks,
condition of containment, valve drain closure and locking, and presence of excessive debris and
sediment. Inspection records shall be maintained at the facility. Exterior containments exposed
to precipitation shall be inspected promptly after any significant rainfall event, and collected
water within containments shall be drained to maintain adequate spill storage capacity within the
containment.
A list of all liquids and chemicals and their associated secondary containment provisions are
provided in Appendix F. Documentation for periodic inspections for leaks and recordation of
accumulated storm water releases shall be placed in Appendix I.

Revsion 5 September 2020
2.2.3 Best Management Practices (BMPs) Summary
NPDES Permit Reference: Part 1, Section A 21.2b(3)
A number of best management practices are currently in place at the station. These BMPs were
instituted over a number of years as a result of various regulatory drivers and good
housekeeping objectives. While a chosen practice provides some level of pollution prevention
as it relates to the management of storm water discharges under this permit, the historic
rationale behind implementing such a practice is comprehensive of a number of contributing
factors. To document the ongoing implementation of these practices as part of the SWPPP,
Table 2 from the Industrial Storm Water Fact Sheet for Steam Electric Power Generating
Facilities (EPA-833-F-06-030) was reviewed and evaluated, and is provided in Appendix O. A
high-level review of the BMPs is provided below along with a rationale for implementation. The
detailed listing of these BMPs for each drainage area is provided in the outfall descriptions in
Appendix B where information regarding the industrial activities and significant sources of
pollutants are also compiled. The compiled information in the appendix captures an ongoing
assessment process for BMP selection and implementation.
The Site Environmental Coordinator(s) shall rely on Table 2 from EPA-833-F-06-030 for the
improvement, installation and implementation of BMPs to address data collected through
monitoring of storm water discharges. The Site Environmental Coordinator(s) may also rely on
other sources of information to develop and implement appropriate BMPs not specifically listed
in Table 2. This list of BMPs shall be reviewed and updated annually as new practices are
incorporated in the plan or warranted as a result of exceedances of analytical monitoring
benchmarks detailed in the permit.
FUGITIVE DUST EMISSIONS
The potential for fugitive dust to impact storm water runoff drives the need for emission
management practices. The station maintains an air permit with NCDEQ that includes the
control of fugitive dust emissions as a programmatic requirement. Fugitive dust emissions are
managed as necessary through a variety of BMPs that include restricting frequent traffic to
paved roadways, periodic wetting of haul roads, and permanent stabilization of dust generating
surfaces. Fugitive dust control is typically a contractual requirement of any contractors brought
on -site to perform services that may involve the creation of fugitive dust. Fugitive dust
generation is typically insignificant at the facility.
LOADING AND UNLOADING OF FUELS, OILS AND NON -OIL LIQUIDS AND CHEMICALS
The plant maintains numerous locations for the loading and unloading of fuels, oils and non -oil
liquids and chemicals. The potential for spills and leaks to release to storm drains or overland
drainage pathways to receiving waters presents a source of unauthorized discharges and
potential storm water contamination. Loading and unloading operations follow plant procedures,
the requirements specified in the plant SPCC Plan, and the requirements specified in the DOT
unloading/loading procedures 49 CFR Part 177, Subpart B.

Revsion 5 September 2020
BMPs utilized during loading and unloading operations include constant attendance by qualified
plant personnel, appropriate training, verification of container levels prior to filling, and the close
proximity of appropriate spill response materials and resources. BMPs also include dedicated
containment platforms for tanker unloading of diesel fuel into the two 175,000 gallon
underground diesel fuel storage tanks and into the two 110,000 gallon field -erected
aboveground diesel fuel storage tanks. Lined concrete containments are utilized for unloading
of high usage chemicals. Temporary containments are used for the unloading and delivery of
other fuels and chemicals.
ABOVEGROUND LIQUID STORAGE TANKS AND PIPING
The plant maintains numerous aboveground storage tanks for fuels, oils and non -oil liquids and
chemicals. Aboveground piping is present at certain locations, and is primarily associated with
the transfer of diesel fuel for operation of emergency diesel generators and other equipment.
The potential for spills and leaks to release to storm drains or overland drainage pathways to
receiving waters exists, and presents a source for an unauthorized discharge and contamination
of storm water.
The plant relies on a variety of BMPs to reduce the potential for leaks or spills to impact storm
water. BMPs utilized for the larger bulk storage tanks include either dedicated secondary
containments with secured, manually -operated drain valves or pumps, dedicated secondary
containments equipped with open drains to the Oil/Water Separator. BMPs utilized for smaller
containers and drums include maintaining the containers inside various buildings, on spill pallets
or within containment shelters. BMPs utilized for aboveground piping includes concrete
containments and open drains that discharge into the Oil/Water Separator. Additional BMPs
utilized include bollards and barriers to prevent vehicular impacts, tank level indicators to
prevent overfilling and detect leaks, routine inspections and maintenance of tanks, piping,
valves and connections. Routine inspection and integrity testing requirements for bulk oil tanks
are specified in the plant SPCC Plan.
OIL -FILLED EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS
The plant maintains oil -filled electrical equipment at numerous locations. The potential for spills
and leaks to release to storm drains or overland drainage pathways to receiving waters exists,
and presents a source for an unauthorized discharge and contamination of storm water. The
plant relies on a variety of BMPs to reduce the potential for leaks or spills from this equipment to
impact storm water. The plant utilizes a concrete containment sump equipped with a manually
operated dewatering pump for the large transformers in the Transformer Yard on the east side
of the Turbine Building. Containment contents are inspected in accordance with the plant
SPCC Plan prior to dewatering, and sump contents are pumped to the plant Oil/Water
Separator. BMPs utilized for the numerous uncontained pad -mounted service transformers at

WASTE HANDLING AND STORAGE
Waste chemicals, used oils and waste products are produced, handled, processed and
characterized at various locations at the plant. Wastes produced inside the protected area of
the plant is typically transported to and processed in the chemical processing area of the Paint
Shop. Waste chemicals produced outside the protected area of the plant are typically
transported to, processed and stored in and near Warehouse 6. Waste oils produced outside
the protected area of the plant are typically transported to the used oil tanks in the Mobile
Equipment Area. Hazardous materials are accumulated in designated satellite waste storage
areas at the plant, and all hazardous waste generated at the plant is eventually transported to
and stored in the Central Hazardous Waste Storage Area at the Chemical Warehouse and at
Warehouse 6. Dumpsters and roll -off containers are used at certain locations to collect inert
materials and solid waste for disposal. Recyclable waste materials are collected in covered
storage containers at several locations inside buildings.
The potential for spills and leaks from waste materials to release to storm drains or overland
drainage pathways to receiving waters exists, and presents a source for an unauthorized
discharge and contamination of storm water. The plant relies on a variety of BMPs to reduce
the potential for impacts to storm water associated with waste handling and storage. BMPs
utilized include maintaining all satellite accumulation areas under shelters or inside buildings,
storing waste materials at the Paint Shop within a covered concrete containment area with open
drains to the Oil/Water Separator, and storing hazardous wastes under shelter at the Central
Hazardous Waste Storage Area. BMPs utilized for trash collection include disallowing the
disposal of liquids or other materials that could potentially impact storm water in dumpsters and
roll -off containers, and maintaining dumpsters closed.
EXTERNAL STORAGE, LAYDOWN AND PARKING AREAS
Inert materials such as miscellaneous wood, structural steel, cable, empty drums and other
metal components are stored at various external laydown yard areas at the plant. Cranes and
other mobile equipment are parked on the crane laydown yard and in other external parking and
storage areas. Other materials such as soil, sand, gravel, compost, concrete and asphalt may
be stockpiled at certain locations on a temporary basis until the material can be recycled,
reused or properly disposed of off -site.
The potential for impacts to storm drains or overland drainage pathways to receiving waters
exists, and presents a source for an unauthorized discharge and contamination of storm water.
The plant relies on a variety of BMPs to reduce the potential for impacts to storm water from
these external areas. BMPs utilized include disallowing the storage or disposal of liquids or
other materials in external areas, stabilizing and/or covering of stockpiled soils and other
materials that could be mobilized by storm water, frequent inspections of these areas, and
prompt reporting and response to spills.

Revsion 5 September 2020
VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
The plant maintains a garage facility for maintenance of plant vehicles and equipment located
southeast of the Chemical Warehouse outside of the protected area. Vehicles and equipment
have the potential to leak or spill fuel, hydraulic fluids and oils if not properly maintained.
Maintenance is performed on a routine basis to keep vehicles and equipment in good
operational condition to reduce the potential for spills and leaks. Some maintenance may be
performed offsite at licensed commercial facilities. BMPs utilized include performing all
maintenance inside the Garage, utilizing temporary containments for the capture of fluids, and
proper labeling, handling and disposal of used materials, parts and fluids. BMPs also include
readily available spill response materials. Storm water runoff from the Garage and surrounding
area enters a drainage channel that flows southeasterly, eventually into the Intake Canal.
SECURITY TRAINING AND FIRING RANGE
The plant maintains a designated facility for security training purposes that includes an external
firing range. Lead -based ammunition is routinely fired into earthen embankments at the range.
The potential for mobilization of sediments containing lead exists, and presents a source for an
unauthorized discharge and contamination of storm water. Storm water runoff from this area
flows overland into the Emergency Service Water Intake Canal. BMPs utilized include tracking
the amount of ammunition fired into the embankments, routine monitoring and adjustment of soil
pH levels to prevent the lead from becoming soluble, and routine harvesting of lead from the soil
per EPA guidance for firing range BMPs.
A list of all currently utilized BMPs within the contributing drainage area for each storm water
outfall is provided on the fact sheets in Appendix B.
2.3 Spill Prevention and Response Procedure
NPDES Permit Reference: Part 1, Section A 21.2c
The station maintains a storm water compliance program to control and minimize contamination
of storm water resulting from spills and exposure to materials associated with facility operations.
This procedure incorporates an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the plant. The materials inventory is primarily compiled and maintained through two
efforts; first for development and compliance with the plant SPCC Plan, and secondly for the
management of hazardous materials.
The Harris Nuclear Plant is required to develop and maintain an SPCC Plan in accordance with
40 CFR Part 112 because the oil storage capacity at the facility exceeds 1,320 gallons and the
proximity to waters of the United States. The SPCC Plan provides an assessment of spill
potential, measures for spill prevention, and a spill response protocol for oil -based liquids. A
similar approach has been adopted for non -oil based liquids and chemicals representing the
balance of materials at the plant. However, the plant will likely maintain the same general spill
response protocol from the SPCC Plan regardless of the types of materials except where
Page 18 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
hazardous materials regulations and notifications deviate from SPCC requirements. This is
recognized in the response procedures.
The Site Environmental Coordinator(s) use included maps for all oils, liquids, chemicals and
materials that have the potential to impact storm water. The Site Environmental Coordinator(s)
shall routinely review site procedures and practices for applicability with current plant operations
and practices, shall amend/update requirements as necessary, and shall communicate changes
to responsible plant personnel. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have increased potential to contaminate storm water runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with facility operations.
The plant maintains an Emergency Response Organization (ERO) consisting of personnel from
all areas of the plant. In the event of an incident, the on -duty Operations Shift Manager (OSM),
or other qualified Operations response persons, will assume responsibility as the Emergency
Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator is responsible for contacting appropriate emergency
response personnel, the SPCC Coordinator, and the Hazmat Team. The Emergency
Coordinator will also assume responsibility as the Incident Commander until such time that the
Hazmat Team mobilizes to the incident. The on -site Fire Brigade Team is also trained in spill
response. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures at the Harris Nuclear Plant are listed in
Appendix G.
2.4 Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program

HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are methods, procedures, processes, prohibitions of
practices and other management controls which serve to eliminate, mitigate, or reduce pollutant
loadings in storm water discharges. BMPs employed at the Harris Nuclear Plant include:
• Source Reduction;
• Good Housekeeping;
• Preventive Maintenance;
• Visual Inspections;
• Spill Prevention and Response;
• Erosion and Sediment Control;
• Storm Water Runoff Management;
• Employee Training;
• Recordkeeping and Reporting;
• Containment/Diversion;
• Recycling;
• Treatment.
Source Reduction
Source reduction measures minimize the potential for storm water pollution by reducing the
quantity of materials which may contact storm water. Source reduction measures may require
modifications in present work habits and practices, and may include components of:
• Good Housekeeping;
• Preventive Maintenance;
• Visual Inspections;
• Spill Prevention and Response;
• Erosion and Sediment Control.
Source reduction measures are addressed as main components of BMPs. Consequently,
source reduction measures should be considered and included with the development and
modification of any BMPs.
Page 64 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
Good Housekeeping
Good housekeeping practices are designed to maintain a clean and orderly work environment.
Good housekeeping practices should be incorporated in the day-to-day conduct of operations
and maintenance. A clean and orderly work area reduces the possibility of accidental spills
caused by the mishandling of chemicals and equipment. Well maintained material and chemical
storage areas reduce the possibility of storm water mixing with pollutants. The following
practices shall be performed on a regular basis:
• Maintain clean and dry floors, ground surfaces, work, and process areas through the use of
brooms, shovels, vacuum cleaners, mops and cleaning equipment;
• Regular pickup and disposal of waste material;
• Proper operation of equipment;
• Routine visual inspections by qualified personnel for leaks or spills, and for conditions
which may lead to a leak or spill (such as the hazardous waste inspections being
performed at various areas throughout the Harris Nuclear Plant);
• Training of employees in spill prevention and cleanup procedures;
• Bags storing dry chemicals shall be raised off the floor, preferably by pallet, to prevent any
unwanted interaction of the chemical and water;
• Walkways shall be maintained free of obstructions to facilitate inspection for leaks or spills.
At least once a year, the Pollution Prevention Team shall inspect work and storage areas to
verify housekeeping is being maintained.
Preventive Maintenance
The Preventative Maintenance Program has been established and combined with the Facility
Inspection Program. The Hazardous Materials, Gas, Oil, and Environmental Release programs
are controlled by Plant Procedures. Any maintenance activities required will be incorporated into
that program are noted. The Preventative Maintenance Program will follow the Facility
Inspection Program. Facility walk downs and responsibilities for identification of deficiencies.
AD-EN-ALL-0410 provides guidance for the oil and liquid waste management program.
Operations personnel perform daily and weekly walk downs of the plant. Plant engineers
perform periodic inspections of assigned areas documenting deficiencies.
Inspections of the storm water control systems will occur when the storm water conveyances
are visually inspected on a semiannual basis as EMP-003 procedure. This inspection will
include clean out and maintenance of catch basins, ditches and material handling equipment.
This program also combines inspections for lay down areas, outside storage areas, and
secondary containment inspections.
Page 65 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
Preventive maintenance will be performed to ensure that storm water management facilities and
controls operate correctly and effectively and to reduce their breakdowns and failure. Specific

Spill prevention will be achieved by good housekeeping, visual inspection, and preventive
maintenance, and through training of personnel in material handling and storage procedures,
and the use of equipment. Training in proper spill identification and cleanup procedures,
including the use of equipment and the notification and documentation procedures, will be the
main components of spill response. Specific spill preventative measures will include:
• Piping protection, such as routing, coatings and wrappings, and cathodic protection where
appropriate;
• Adherence to current unloading procedures and practices, including monitoring and
verification of all connections, disconnections, and seals;
• Proper valve and control settings, and adequate labels, markings, and communications, to
ensure that accidental closures or openings do not occur;
• Adequate security to prevent non -authorized access to facilities;
• Appropriate documentation of actions taken.
Page 67 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
Spill response will be in accordance with existing Plant Procedures, including the Spill
Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. Training is essential to a well -executed
Spill Response. Personnel will be trained to identify potential storm water pollution occurrences
as may occur during a spill event, and respond in appropriate manner. Specific items in Spill
Response include:
• Establishment and training of the plant personnel in spill response, cleanup,
documentation, and notification;
• Safety measures;
• Notification procedure for plant and the appropriate public authorities;
• Safety and cleanup equipment;
• Monitoring and verification of cleanup efforts.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Areas under construction involving land disturbing activities, or where accelerated erosion or
sedimentation is occurring, will be monitored and corrective measures will be implemented as
necessary. An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan and Permit is required for any land
disturbing activities of one acre or greater. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team will
decide if an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan and Permit is required. The NCDEQ
Raleigh Regional Office of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources Division (DEMLR) shall be
contacted as necessary to apply for and obtain any required permits.
Typical temporary BMPs utilized to control erosion and prevent off -site sedimentation include silt
fences, sediment traps and basins, rock check dams, wattles, and diversion channels.
Permanent BMPs include riprap-lined channels, paved ditches, grassed channels, permanent
storm water detention ponds, and permanent ground stabilization measures. Re -vegetation or
equivalent stabilization of the disturbed areas will be performed to reduce/eliminate accelerated
erosion and prevent off -site sedimentation.
Storm Water Runoff Manaaement
Uncontaminated storm water will be diverted away from potential sources of contamination, and
where possible, discharged to a stabilized conveyance structure. Contaminated waters will be
directed to the appropriate treatment facilities prior to discharge. Diversion efforts should be
made to reduce the quantity of contaminated storm water which must be collected and treated
depending on conditions. Vehicle washing should be performed in areas that do not discharge
through storm water outfalls.

Employee Training
Training programs are essential for providing employees with a complete understanding of the
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Employee training at the Harris Nuclear Plant
is conducted as necessary to inform and educate personnel who's work activities have the
potential to impact storm water runoff of the components and goals of the SWPPP. General
training of employees will emphasize good housekeeping, preventive methods, procedures, and
practices. Responsibilities will be clearly communicated to personnel, including notification
procedures for preventive and corrective measures. Maintenance and inspection personnel will
have the authority to follow-up on areas requiring improvement. Plant personnel will be trained
in safety and cleanup operations, and to recognize spill events which may contribute to storm
water pollution.
The Harris Nuclear Plant Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) requires
training for all oil -handling personnel regarding ensure an adequate understanding of:
• Proper operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges of oil;
• Procedures to follow upon discovery of any petroleum release;
• SPCC Plan required inspection and documentation requirements;
• Applicable pollution control laws and regulations;
• Locations and use of release response and clean-up supplies, equipment and materials;
• Description and causes of known petroleum releases at the facility;
• Information on names and phone numbers for reporting releases to appropriate facility
personnel;
• General contents of the SPCC plan.
All environmental training is conducted and assigned in MyTraining or Nuclearn. Training
reports for annual SWPP and SPCC training can be printed as need. Training is assessed
annually.
Recordkeeping and Reports
As part of the foregoing actions, plant personnel will have the responsibility to prepare the
appropriate records to implement and maintain the SWPPP Plan.
Page 69 of 88
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Revsion 5 September 2020
Containment/Diversion
These measures require a physical structure or barrier to be installed to divert storm water away
from potential pollutant sources or to contain potential pollutant sources. Diversion measures
function best where runoff can be directed to a drainage channel where containment at the
source is impractical. Containment functions best in areas where material will be permanently
stored, handled, or used. Specific containment/diversion measures include:
• Segregation of the work area;
• Covering or enclosing the work area;
• Diking the work area;
• Diversion of storm water runoff, via pipes, and catch basins, or channels;
• Dust controls.
Recycling
No recycling of contaminated storm water occurs at the plant. Recycling of some solid and
hazardous wastes is performed and is coordinated by Environmental Services, Chemistry, and
Material and Contract Services.
Treatment
Treatment measures will be the last step prior to the discharge of contaminated storm water.
Treatment is employed at the plant for those areas where, due to site constraints, other BMPs
have been found to be infeasible or too costly to implement. Storm drain flows, floor drains,
runoff from material storage areas, and runoff from the Security Firing Range are the principle
sources of contaminated storm water which must be treated.
