Roxboro Steam Electric Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit'Number NC0003425 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 1 Carolina °Power& Light Company d /b /,a Progress Energy 'Carolinas,.Jfc. Roxboro Steam Electric- Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number�NC0003425 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 ash hand dling ,sysfemi�are� routed to the ash pond. 2 Carolina Power & Light Company d /b /a Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. Roxboro Steam Electric Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0003425 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. 3 Carolina Power & Light Company d /b /a Progress Energy Carolinas; Inc. Roxboro Steam Electric Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0003425 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). 4 l Carolina Power & Light Company d /b /a Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. Roxboro Steam Electric Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0003425 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 5 Carolina Power & Light Company d /b /a Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.
