Attachment 4
Form 2C - Item II -B Flows, Sources of Pollution, and Treatment Technologies
The Roxboro Steam Electr`,ic Plant, located in Person ,County, North Carolina, consists of four
coal fired generating units with net dependable capacities of 385, 670, 707, and 700 MWe for
units 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. All plant waste streams are routed directly or indirectly to
the Hyco Reservoir. Chemical constituents contained in these discharges will, in part, be
representative of the naturally' occurring chemical quality and quantity of the intake water and
will also have chemical constituents of such ,quality associated with similar discharges for
fossil generating facilities of this isize, type, and in this, geographical location. Either all or
part of the elements in the Periodic Table, either singularly or in any combination, may from
time to, time be contained in the discharges. Each component -of the discharges is described
below.
Outfall 003 - Discharge Canal
At the point that the discharge canal enters the Hyco Reservoir, it contains the flows, from
several waste streams, including once- through cooling water.,-,, stormwater runoff, and the
effluent from the ash pond, which in turn receives and treats combined flows from the ash
transport system, the low volume waste system, the dry fly ash handling system, cooling
tower 'blowdow,n, stormwater runoff, drainage from the ash landfill and' from occasional
wastewater piping leakage.
Once - Through Cooling Water
Condenser Cooling Water (CCW) for Units 1, .2, and 3 is drawn from the Hyco
Reservoir via an intake canal and discharges to the Hyco Reservoir via a discharge
canal. Flows for Units 1, 2, and 3 are 249 MGD, 342 MGD„ and 505 MGD
respectively. Cooling is accomplished by evaporation from the surface of Hyco
Reservoir and mixing -and convection with the reservoir waters

During the, summer months, Unit 3' CCW' is routed through mechanical .draft,cooling
towers where Moist ,of the waste heat is removed by evaporation before the water is
discharged to,the reservoit'via the discharge canal along with the CCW of Units 1 and
2. Additionally,, once-through cooling water is used as component closed cooling
water, the flow of which is combined with the CCW prior to introduction ,into the
discharge canal
Ash Pond Discha -rge,
The ash, pond receives ;ash transport water, low volume wastes, runoff from "the ash
landfill, dry 'fly ash handling system wash water, blowdown from `Unit 4, cooling tower,
coal' mill rejects and pyrites, •and sewage treatri, ent plant effluent., The pond provides
treatment by sedimentation,, oxidation, neutralization, equalization, and adsorption.
Ash Transport Wafer
Water for sluicing ash to "the 'ash pond' is withdrawn from the COW system as
needed The plant will primarily supply ,ash sluice water from' Unit 2 However,
the facility, will ,continue 'to .maintain the ability to operate the unit 4 ash sluice
pumps The Unit 4 ash sluice pumps are and Will continue to 'be utilized for,the�
following i) during maintenanceAraining ,of the ,cooling tower,,'ii) back -up supply
for the fide suppressant system, and ',iii), ash sluicing pumps during operational
events, 'which regpire additional pumping Normally, only' bottom ash is.
conveyed to the ash pond by sluicing. Fly ,ash is ;handled dry by a, pneumatic
system and' is lartdfilled' on, site or- sold !.f the ;dry fly ash handling system is out
,of service during plant operating ',periods,, fly ash will be sent to, the ash pond via,
the ash sluicing,,,syste ms until the d'ry system is restored. Such occurrences are
expected 'to [be, infrequent and ,brief
Silos Wash Watef
Ash silo wash, water runoff' and dust suppressant spray runoff' from the dry 'fly

Low Volume Wastes
Boiler make =up water is withdrawn from the CCW system and filtered, softened,
and demineralizered for treatment. Boiler water is" treated with ammonia,
hydrazine, and occasionally sodium hydroxide. Boiler blowdown is sent to the
ash pond via the low volume wastes collection system (LVWS); these are
special drains, in the plant that flow by gravity to collection sumps and are
pumped to the ash, pond. Ethylene, glycol is,used for freeze protection of some
equipment and may be discharged to the LVWS,, as is some molybdate waste
from the closed cooling water system, during periods of maintenance The
plant's demineralizers are regenerated using sulfuric acid and sodium
hydroxide When this equipment is rinsed, small amounts of these chemicals
are discharged to the low volume system via `the neutralization basin
Essentially all plant equipment, floor drains, water'treatment filter backwashes,
clarifier and sedimentation basin sludge, and' ash hopper seal water overflow
also discharge to the LVWS In addition, a back -up domestic sewage system
can discharge to the LVWS. The back -up system consists of a septic tank with
a subsurface sand filter and a chlorine dosing chamber. The back -up system
can be used if the facility's extended ,aeration treatment system is temporarily
out �of'sertivice.
Cooling Tower,Blowdown
Unit 4 is the only unit that produces cooling tower blowdown A blowdown
stream is used to maintain concentrations of total dissolved solids in the cooling
tower to within proper operating limits. Make -up to the Unit 4 cooling tower is
from the Heated Water Discharge Canal
Domestic Sewage
Domestic sewage is treated by an extended aeration treatment plant consisting
of a screen, comminutor, surge tank, aeration tank, clarifier, chlorine contact
chamber, and a sludge holding tank.

Coal Pile Runoff
The solids settling, basin, which contains a portion of the'wastewater runoff from
the coal pile and other coal handling areas of the plant, is routed to the ash
pond.
Ash Landfill Drainage
Water for sluicing a minimum :amount of bottom ash to the ash landfill is
withdrawn from the ash transport system as needed. The bottom ash is used
to enhance'the subsurface drainage of the landfill.
Air Preheater Cleaning (Low Volume Waste)
The air preheater will be water washed once per year or more frequently as
needed. The wastewater from this activity will be discharged to the ash pond.
Chemical Metal Cleaning Wastes
The boilers'are chemically cleaned approximately every five -to -eight years as
required using Tetra-ammonia ethylene diamine tetraaccetic acid (EDTA)
solution or citric acid. This? cleaning solution and its rinses are stored on site for
disposal by evaporation in an operating unit's furnace. Should evaporation not
be used, the wastewater can'be treated by neutralization and precipitation prior
to being conveyed to the ash pond. Alternatively, the wastewater can be
disposed by other acceptable disposal methods. Cleaning of otherheat
exchanger surfaces may produce 5,000- 10,000 gallons of wastewater
approximately every three -to -five years.
Stormwater Runoff
The stormwater runoff, which flows into the ,ash pond 'includes, runoff from the
plant drainage area, landfill runoff (including silo area drainage), and the
drainage area from the ash pond (including roadways).

Flue Gas, Desulfurization (FGD) System Biow, down Emergency
Overflow /Pipeline Drain,
Emergency overflow from the FGD System blowdown will discharge to the ash
pond., This is expected to occur only in the event of extreme rainfall. If the
FGD 'System blowdown pipeline requires emergency draining, the contents of
the pipeline will be drained to a sump that is pumped to the ash pond.
Stormwater Runoff
The stormwater, which flows into the discharge canal includes "runoff from the plant
drainage area, the drainage area from the dry flyash handling system (including
roadways), Unit 4 cooling tower drainage area, the fuel oil storage containment area,
the switchyard drainage area, the anhydrous ammonia tank farm, and the gypsum
storage pile area.
Flue Gas Desulfurization Blowdown (Low Volume Waste)
The Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) system directs flue gas into an absorber where
limestone (calcium carbonate) slurry is sprayed. Sulfur dioxide in the flue gas reacts
with the limestone slurry, to produce calcium sulfate (gypsum). The system reclaims
any unreacted limestone slurry to be reused in the absorber. A small blowdown
stream is used to maintain the `chloride concentration in the reaction tank. The
blowdown stream will be discharged to a gypsum settling pond where suspended
solids will be reduced prior to entering a bioreactor The bioreactor utilizes microbes
to reduce soluble contaminants to insoluble forms that then precipitate from solution
The treated wastewater will enter the ash pond discharge canal prior to outfall 002
Outfall 006 — Coal Pile Runoff
Wastewater runoff from the coal pile, limestone pile,, and gypsum pile and other coal
handling areas of the plant is routed to a retention pond for treatment by neutralization,
sedimentation, ,and equalization. The pond is designed to store in excess of the 1,0- year /24-
hour storm event. Releases are controlled by a standpipe and skimmer discharge structure
