Dear Ms. McCoy: -
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC is submitting herewith, a request to rescind NPDES Stormwater permit
NCS000578, and submitting supplemental information in support of renewing and modifying NPDES
Stormwater permit NCS000554. Both subject NPDES permits expire on July 31, 2023. Duke Energy is
requesting several changes summarized below.
I ) Requests recension of Permit NCS000578, this permit was issued to the Buck Steam Station. The
Buck Steam Station has been demolished and all industrial activity associated with it has ceased,
including closure of the coal pile. All stormwater outfalls associated with the steam station, have
been eliminated. The outfalls have either been plugged or removed. This includes outfalls SW-
001, SW-002, SW-003, SW-048, SW-056, SW-073, SW-077, SW-078, SW-079, SW-080 and
SW-081. The Outfalls associated with the powerhouse have also been eliminated, that includes
outfalls SW-005, SW-007, SW-011, SW-015, SW-016, SW-023, SW-025, SW-027, SW-032,
SW-034, SW-035, SW-038, SW-039, SW-058, SW-065, SW-066, SW-067, SW-069, SW-070,
SW-071, and SW-072. The only outfalls left, from the steam station, that are included in
NCS000578 are outfalls SW-001, SW-002, and SW-075. SW-001 and SW-002 are associated
with the Buck Switchyard and Outfall SW-075 is associated with a laydown area, located near the
Combined Cycle Plant (NCS000554).
Outfalls SW-001 and SW-002, currently permitted in NCS000578, are both outfalls associated
with a switchyard that was the primary switchyard for the demolished coal-fired steam station.
The switchyard is still in use by Energy Delivery as a standalone switchyard. It is not used by the
Buck Combined Cycle Station. The Combined Cycle Station has its own switchyard, the Buck
Tie Station, Duke Energy believes that the switchyard formerly associated with the demolished
coal-fired steam station meets all requirements in an email from Bethany Georgoulias of the
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (Attachment 10) outlining the requirements for
coverage under the NPDES Stormwater Program. The email lists three requirements for a
switchyard to be covered under an NPDES industrial SW permit:
Ms. Suzanne McCoy
Permit NCS000578 and Permit NCS000554
Renewal and Modification Request
January 24, 2023
1) A switchyard had been regulated under an NPDES permit or legacy materials from those
activities present in the drainage area would be subject. This includes the situations where
switchyard runoff comingles with runoff from other areas of a power plant that is covered
under an NPDES Permit.
2) A switchyard could also be designated if there is a water quality problem, or it is deemed a
significant contributor of pollutants. This is done by agency designation.
3) If a switchyard is considered an integral part of the power plant that is under an NPDES
permit, that area is essentially co -located and part of the industrial activity, and it would be
subject to the permit.
The demolished coal-fired station switchyard that now operates independently of the Buck Combined
Cycle Station does not meet any of the requirements to be regulated under an NPDES permit since the
coal-fired station has been demolished. Therefore, Duke Energy requests Outfalls SW-001 and SW-002
be removed from coverage under an NPDES industrial SW permit.
2) That NCS000554 be modified to include Outfall SW-075. Duke also requests to move the
sampling location of Outfall SW-075 from its current location. The sample location is currently
located approximately 1,600 ft from the retention pond and is difficult to sample, generally
because of low flow. The new sample location would be located near the discharge flume of the
retention pond to allow for ease of sampling and opportunity for higher flow.
Attached is the renewal application and modification package for the Buck Combined Cycle Permit
(NCS000554) and supplementary information.
Should you have any questions please contact Mr. Steve Cahoon at steve.cahoon@duke-energy.com or at
(919)-546-7457 or Mr. Dale Wooten at dale.wooten@duke-energy.com or (704)-630-3086.

Supplemental Information Form
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR RENEWAL OF INDIVIDUAL
NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT
Two copies of each of the following shall accompany this submittal in order for the application
to be considered complete:
(Do not submit the site Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan)
Initials
SC 1. A current Site Map from the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and
loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall,
building locations and impervious surfaces should be clearly noted.
SC2 A summary of Analytical Monitoring results during the term of the existing permit
(if your permit required analytical sampling). Do not submit individual lab reports.
The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number,
parameters sampled, lab results, date sampled, and storm event data.
SC 3. A summary of the Visual Monitoring results. Do not submit individual monitoring
reports. The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number,
parameters surveyed, observations, and date monitoring conducted.
SC 4. A summary of the Best Management Practices utilized at the permitted facility.
Summary should consist of a short narrative description of each BMP's in place at
the facility. If the implementation of any BMP's is planned, please include
information on these BMP's.
SC 5. A short narrative describing any significant changes in industrial activities at the
permitted facility. Significant changes could include the addition or deletion of
work processes, changes in material handling practices, changes in material storage
practices, and/or changes in the raw materials used by the facility.
SC 6. Certification of the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan for the permitted facility (Sign and return attached form).
If the final year analytical monitoring of the existing permit term has not been completed
prior to filing the renewal submittal, then the last years monitoring results should be submitted
within 30 days of receipt of the laboratory reports. (i.e. do not withhold renewal submittal
waiting on lab results)

Summary of BMP's
BMP Summary
Outfall 075
The area that drains to Outfall 0075 consists of a laydown yard, trailers, construction storage yard
warehouse, construction material laydown, outage laydown. As much as possible, raw materials
are stored in the warehouse. Any chemicals stored in this area are stored in the warehouse.
Stormwater that discharges from Outfall 075 is collected in a 0.83-acre stormwater retention
pond. The discharge of the pond is controlled manually. When the pond discharges, the
stormwater enters a grassed swale and flows approximately 1,700 feet the outfall. The conveyed
stormwater is then discharged to the Yadkin River.

The area that drains to combined cycle Outfall 001, is this combined cycle station footprint. All
roof drains and all stormwater runoff from external paved areas enters catch basins that discharge
via subsurface piping into the stormwater detention pond located immediately west of the CTCC.
All internal building floor drains discharge either directly into the station consolidated wastewater
sump or into the oil/water separator that subsequently discharges into the sump. All transformer
containments discharge into the stormwater detention pond. All other open containments,
including tanker unloading stations, discharge directly into the detention pond. Most covered
containments at the station are non -discharge containments.
Much like stormwater that discharges through Outfall 075, stormwater that discharges from the
Combined Cycle to Outfall 001 CC is collected in an approximately 1-acre stormwater detention
pond. The discharge of the pond is controlled manually. Outfall 001 CC is located at the
discharge of the stormwater retention pond.

Subject: RE: Stormwater Permitting Status of Switchyards
*** Exercise caution. This is an EXTERNAL email. DO NOT open

email. ***
Joyce,
The answer comes with a couple caveats that I wanted to explain thoroughly. Switchyards or substations by themselves
are not "categorically" captured by the NPDES Stormwater program unless designated for some other reason. So, in
cases where these yards are completely hydraulically separate (usually between the power plant and a different
property), they were not necessarily subject to a permit. However, there are a few of scenarios where they could be
considered subject to an NPDES permit.
If a switchyard had industrial activities regulated by NPDES Stormwater, or legacy materials from those activities that still
present in that drainage area, it would be subject. This includes the situations where switchyard runoff commingles with
runoff from other areas of a power plant this is covered under an NPDES permit.
A switchyard could also be designated, if there is a water quality problem or it is deemed a significant contributor of
pollutants. This is done by agency designation (and it applies to most activities in general).
Finally, if a switchyard is considered an integral part of the power plant that is under an NPDES permit, that area is
essentially co -located and part of that industrial activity, and it would be subject to the permit. That is consistent with
how EPA interprets what is included as that plant's industrial activity, as switchyards are included in the Industrial Fact

Because i couldn't make the meeting you had with Annette, I didn't see the site plan or map to understand the situation

Site Narrative
GENERAL SITE INFORMATION
The Buck Combustion Turbine Combined Cycle Plant (CTCC) is a natural gas fired, 620-
megawatt electric generating station located in Rowan County approximately 3 miles east of
Spencer, NC. The facility contains two primary combustion turbine units and one secondary
heat recovery steam generator unit.
The facility is located on a 643-acre property that formerly contained the Buck Steam Station,
which has now been demolished. The property borders the southern shore of the Yadkin River
in the upper reaches of high Rock Lake. The station is accessed from Dukeville Road off Long
Ferry Road.
Also located within the Buck CTCC property boundary is the Buck Tie Station. The Buck Tie
Station is a large 230 kV and 110 kV regional substation facility located approximately 1,500
feet south and upgradient of the Yadkin River. This tie station is a separate facility and
hydraulically unassociated with the Buck CTCC station from a stormwater permitting standpoint.
The CTCC contains 2 industrial stormwater outfalls. Outfall SW-001 is associated with the 14-
acre CTCC Power block, the stormwater from the power block area is routed to a stormwater
retention pond that discharges to the Yadkin River through Outfall SW 001. Outfall SW 075 is
associated with gravel roadway and gravel surface areas including a laydown area and a
warehouse that discharges to the Yadkin River.
The Buck Steam Station maintains an up-to-date Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure
(SPCC) Plan in place in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
Oil Pollution Prevention Regulation 40 CFR Part 112.
STORMWATER OUTFALLS AND DRAINAGE AREA DESCRIPTIONS
Buck Combustion Turbine Combined Cycle Station has 2 identified active stormwater outfalls
that discharge to surface waters. The outfall locations and contributing drainage area
delineations are shown on the accompanying site plan drawing. All identified stormwater outfalls
either discharge directly into the Yadkin River, or discharge onto the ground in close proximity to
the river.
A description of the contributing drainage area for each outfall is provided below.
Included with the description is the approximate location coordinates of the outfalls, the
approximate amount of impervious surface area within the drainage areas, a description
of any significant materials and activities located within the drainage areas, the type of
discharge conveyances, and a description of any discharge control measures.
In addition to any significant materials particular to each drainage basin, herbicides are
applied to selected areas at the Buck Steam Station to eliminate undesirable vegetation.
Herbicides are generally used along railways, pipelines, and the perimeter fence.
Herbicides are also applied, as needed, in the gravel parking lots, switchyard, laydown
areas, yard sumps, transformers, trailers, and the intake structure. The discharge of
herbicides are covered under the NPDES general permit NCG560000. Records are
retained at the facility documenting the areas treated, and the type and amount of
herbicides used.

separator, an oil storage building and the station consolidated wastewater sump.
All roof drains and all stormwater runoff from external paved areas enters catch basins that
discharge via subsurface piping into the stormwater detention pond located immediately west of
the CTCC. All internal building floor drains discharge either directly into the station consolidated
wastewater sump or into the oil/water separator that subsequently discharges into the sump. All
transformer containments discharge into the detention pond. All other open containments,
including tanker unloading stations, discharge directly into the detention pond. Most covered
containments at the station are non -discharge containments.
Significant Materials/Activities
Lube Oil: Both Gas and turbine buildings contain one 4,500-gallon lube oil tank. The tanks
are located within concrete containments. The steam turbine building contains
one lube oil tank within concrete containment with an open drain to the oil/water
separator.
Diesel Fuel: The emergency diesel generator enclosure contains 550 gallons of diesel fuel
located within a double -walled container integral with the generator.
Mineral Oil: Various quantities of mineral oil are stored inside two gas turbine main step-up
transformers, the two, gas turbine auxiliary transformers, the steam turbine main
set-up transformer, and five excitation transformers. All of these transformers
are located outside within locked -closed concrete containments that drain to the
detention pond.
Ammonia: One 20,000-gallon ammonia tank is located on the western side of the facility.
The tank is located within an open concrete containment with a valved drain to
the consolidated wastewater sump. A sloped and curbed concrete unloading
pad is located adjacent to the tank and has a locked -closed valved drain to the
consolidated detention pond.
One 300-gallon ammonia tank is located inside the steam turbine Building. One
300-gallon ammonia tank is located inside the aux boiler Building. The tanks are
within a concrete containment basin with an open drain to the oil/water seperator.
Chemicals: The raw water treatment facility contains one sodium hypochlorite tan, one ferric
sulfate tank, .and one caustic tank. The tank is located under a common shed
within a dead end covered concrete containment basins. A sloped and curbed
concrete chemical unloading pad is located adjacent to the shed and has an
open drain to the detention pond.
The cooling tower has an adjacent chemical fed skid that contains one sodium
hypochlorite tank, one dispersant tank, one micro biocide tote, and one water
treatment tote. The four containers are located under a common shed within a
dead end covered concrete containment basins. A sloped and curbed concrete
chemical unloading pad is located adjacent to the shed and has an open drain to
the detention pond.
The water treatment building is a fully enclosed structure that contains one
sodium hypochlorite tank, one sodium bisulfate tank, one sodium hydroxide tank,
one RO citric acid tote and one RO anti-scalant tote. All containers are located
within dead end concrete containments. The building floor drains discharge into
the consolidated wastewater sump.
The Auxiliary Boiler Building is a fully enclosed structure that contains one 19%
ammonia tote and one Eliminox tote. The containers are located within dead end
concrete containments.
The gas filter skid contains one condensate tank located within an open metal
containment bin with an open drain to the consolidated wastewater sump.
Two phosphate skids are enclosed in a building and located adjacent to the
HRSG buildings. These containers are located within concrete containments
with open drains to the consolidated wastewater sump. One small gas
condensate tote is located on the east side of each HRSG building.
Discharge Controls
All stormwater runoff from the CTCC station (outfall 001) eventually discharges into a
stormwater detention pond located immediately west of the facility. The pond outlet works are
comprised of a 60-inch CMP riser and 48-inch CMP barrel. The pond is dewatered by a small
diameter dewatering orifice at the bottom of the 60-inch riser. In the event of any chemical or
petroleum release into the stormwater drainage system the small orifice can be quickly covered
or blocked to contain the release within the detention pond.
The discharge end of the 48-inch CMP is designated as Outfall 001. Stormwater discharging
from SW001 enters a riprap lined channel that routes flow to an existing 24-inch CMP beneath
the station access road. The discharge eventually enters the Yadkin River west of the CTCC.

Fish Tissue Monitoring of the Yadkin River and High Rock Lake Near Buck Combined Cycle Station (2018-2022)
Buck Combined Cycle Station
1 Introduction and Background
Duke Energy Carolinas (DEC) owns and operates the Buck Combined Cycle Station (Buck) located on the
Yadkin River in Rowan County, Salisbury, North Carolina. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Wastewater Permit for Buck (No. NC0004774, Section C.12) requires DEC to annually
conduct trace elements (specifically arsenic, selenium, and mercury) monitoring in fish muscle tissue in
accordance with a study plan approved by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ). Monitoring is required due to the discharge of waters from a coal ash basin associated with
the previous coal-fired steam plant at the site. A study plan was originally submitted and approved in
2013 (Duke Energy 2013), and an updated study plan was submitted and approved in 2019 (Duke Energy
2019).
2 Methods
2.1 Study Site
Fish were collected from two areas on the Yadkin River and one in upper High Rock Lake (Figure 1-1) for
trace element analysis of muscle tissue. Area UP was located at least 3.2 km upstream of the Buck ash
basin discharge to serve as a reference to monitor background trace element concentrations in fish
muscle tissue. Area DI was located between 0.8 km and 2.0 km downstream from the Buck ash basin
discharge to monitor potential near -field uptake of trace elements in fish muscle tissue. Area DN was
located in upper High Rock Lake, approximately 8.0 km downstream of the ash basin discharge, to
monitor far -field uptake of trace elements in fish muscle tissue.

2.2 Field Collection
Fish were collected for trace element tissue monitoring following the appropriate Duke Energy
procedures under Duke Energy's North Carolina Biological Laboratory Certification (Huntersville, NC
certification 008). Fish were collected using boat electrofishing, identified to species, measured for total
length to the nearest millimeter, weighed to the nearest gram, and marked with a unique tag identifier.
Fish were then placed in a labeled (sample date, sample location, facility, etc.) bag on ice while in the
field. Bags were sealed and transferred to a deep freezer at the end of the sampling day until processed
for analysis.
Sunfish (Lepomis) and black bass (Micropterus) were targeted for collection based on prior sampling
experience, likely availability, potential for human consumption, and general trophic level. Other similar
genera of fish were collected when the primary target genera were unavailable. Duke Energy personnel
collected six individuals of each taxa from each sampling area. Individuals retained for analysis were
those considered of sufficient size for human consumption (>_6a g). As recommended by the US
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), fish were retained such that the size of the smallest

Buck Combined Cycle Station
individual would not be less than 75% of the total length of the largest fish within each genus group
when possible (USEPA 2000).
2.3 Laboratory Analysis
Fish were processed for metals analysis at the Duke Energy Trace Element Laboratory located in New
Hill, NC. Fish were thawed and skeletal muscle was fileted off using a carbon -steel scalpel. Muscle tissue
from each individual fish was homogenized, weighed to the nearest 0.001 g, completely dried in a
desiccator. The dried weight was recorded and used to calculate a dry weight to fresh weight ratio for
that fish. Approximately 0.1 g of dried tissue was analyzed for each fish using X-ray fluorescence. Quality
control was achieved utilizing analytical standards, replicates, and certified reference materials.
3 Results and Discussion
During the study period (2018-2022),180 individuals representing eight species were captured and
analyzed from the Yadkin River and High Rock Lake (Table 3-1). These species included Alabama Bass
Micropterus hensholli, Largemouth Bass M. salmoides, Black Crappie Pomoxis nigromaculatus, Bluegill
Lepomis macrochirus, Green Sunfish L. cyanellus, Redbreast Sunfish L. ouritus, Redear Sunfish L.
microlophus, and Warmouth L. gulosus. A full list of individual fish and associated trace element
concentrations is presented in Appendix A.

Fish Tissue Monitoring of the Yadkin River and High Rock Lake Near Buck Combined Cycle Station (2018-2022)
Buck Combined Cycle Station
3.1 Arsenic
All fish collected during 2018-2022 were below the USEPA screening value for recreational anglers of
1.2 µg/g (fresh weight) for arsenic (USEPA 2000; Figure 3-1).
3.2 Selenium
All fish collected during 2018-2022 were below USEPA screening value for recreational anglers of 20
µg/g (fresh weight) for selenium (USEPA 2000; Figure 3-1).
3.3 Mercury
Sunfish collected during 2018-2022 were below the USEPA screening value for recreational anglers of
0.4 µg/g (fresh weight) for mercury (USEPA 2000; Figure 3-1). Of the 88 black bass sampled during the
five-year study period, one exceeded the mercury screening value. Mercury concentrations generally
increased with fish size, regardless of the collection area. This individual was in the top quartile of size
for all black bass collected. Therefore, this elevated mercury concentration was a function of
bioaccumulation.

from three areas of the Yadkin River and High Rock Lake during 2018-2022. Boxes and whiskers show
the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. Individual outliers are represented by points. Values
under each element are U5EPA screening values for recreational anglers.

4 Summary
All fish collected during the 2018-2021 study period were below the USEPA screening levels for
recreational anglers for arsenic and selenium. One black bass exceeded the screening level for mercury.
However, mercury concentrations in black bass collected at the DI area were not elevated compared to
those collected upstream of the Buck ash basin discharge when accounting for size of fish. These
patterns match samples reported from the same areas in 2014 (Duke Energy 2014).
