Water Quality and Flow
Compliance Monitoring Plan
INTRODUCTION
The Catawba-Wateree Agreement -in -Principle (AIP), Section 15, discusses the
Gaging and Compliance Monitoring required for the new Catawba-Wateree
License, FERC No.2232. The monitoring activities described in the AIP may be
subdivided into monitoring responsibilities. The United States Geological Survey
(USGS) monitoring sites consist of ground water levels and selected stream
gages. Duke Power monitoring responsibilities include lake levels, project
released flows (minimum continuous release flows, recreational flows, and
generation flows), and water quality. The AIP also stipulates an annual report
describing the previous calendar year's lake level, project and river flow, and
water quality compliance to the new license requirements.
The purpose of this document is to provide a plan to collect, store, and use the
necessary data to comply with the AIP, sections 15.2 and 15.31. This
compliance monitoring plan is intended for stakeholder evaluation and, if
necessary, modified prior to submittal as a Quality Assurance Project Plan
(QAPP) to the North and South Carolina water quality agencies for inclusion to
the Section 401 Water Quality Certification.
The objective of this compliance monitoring plan is to provide a structure of data
collection necessary to meet the requirements and intent of the AIP.
The specific goals of this plan are:
1. to identify the necessary data required to:
a. provide for real-time compliance decisions
b. establish a data base for compliance reporting
2. to provide recommendations for data collection
a. evaluation of new technologies for measurement and data
communication
b. to use previous studies to establish a basis for sensor location
(minimize the need for additional studies)
c. to utilize the experience from historical monitoring to improve
data collection and storage
3. to have one plan, acceptable to both North and South Carolina
agencies (Quality Assurance Project Plan)
' This document does not address the long-term water quality monitoring specified in AIP 15.2.5.3, only
the flows and water quality that Duke is required to verify and report compliance.

BACKGROUND
The new Catawba-Wateree License will stipulate specified flows to be released
from various projects (See Appendix A for Project Flow Summaries). These
required flows in the riverine reaches are designed to enhance fish and wildlife
(minimum continuous flows) and to provide periodic higher flows for recreational
activities (water sports).
Water quality issues relate to the minimum continuous flows, temperature, and
dissolved oxygen concentrations (DO). Compliance with state DO standards in
water released from all of the projects will be a requirement for both North and
South Carolina's Section 401 Water Quality Certification process. Temperature
monitoring and reporting is required from the releases at all projects. However,
unlike DO concentrations, Duke Power cannot change the temperature of the
released water2. Temperatures downstream of Lake James are managed by flow
regulation. The supplemental Bridgewater Bypassed Reach flows are designed
to provide riverine temperatures suitable for protection and enhancement of
mussels in the bypassed reach and the maintenance of a stocked trout fishery
downstream of Bridgewater Hydro3.

A state temperature standard of 32°C exists for state waters, but adherence to that temperature standard
applies only to heated discharges into state waters, not hydro releases. However, the NPDES permits for
McGuire Nuclear Station and Riverbend Steam Station have temperature limits measured in the tailraces of
Cowans Ford and Mountain Island Hydros, respectively.
3 A state temperature standard of 20°C exists for trout waters, but adherence to that temperature standard
applies only to heated discharges into trout waters, not hydro releases.

COMPLIANCE MONITORING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The formulation of this plan was based upon the work by Wagner, et. al (2000)
and modified to meet specific monitoring objectives described in the Catawba-
Wateree AIP. The basic components of the monitoring system are (1) sensors
that measure the required parameter, either directly (e.g. dissolved oxygen) or
indirectly (e.g. flow calculated from stage), (2) a means of getting the sensor data
to an appropriate data base, and (3) a data base capable of meeting the
operational and reporting requirements.
Real-time data accessibility is the criteria which drives the choice of the
hardware and software requirements. Real-time data accessibility is needed for
hydro operations to view, and, if necessary, adjust station operations in meeting
license requirements. Data base requirements include the ability to retrieve data
for short-term evaluations of non-compliance as well as long-term retrieval for
reporting requirements.
The data collection module of the compliance monitoring system is composed of
the necessary sensors and the physical housing (structure) to hold the sensors.
The desired location of the sensors in a tailrace heavily influences the type of
data collection module necessary to meet the compliance objectives.
Sensor Configuration
The two basic types of monitor configuration are the in situ system and the flow -
through system. The in situ system immerses the sensor directly into the river;
the sensor is usually protected by a perforated pipe. The flow -through system
involves pumping water from the stream to the sensor; the pump and sensor are
usually protected by a covered shelter. Wagner, et. al, (2000) discusses the
advantages and disadvantages of each type of system in detail.
General considerations and sensor options include:
1. Location and Physical Requirements of Real-time Data System
a. Representative of All Project Flows and Operations
b. Secure (vandalism, all flow conditions, etc.)
c. Accessible for maintenance at all flows
d. Small Time-lag between Changes in Project Operations and
Monitor Response (minimize downstream distance of sensor)
2. Sensor Options
a. General Requirements
i. Digital for Real-time Communications
ii. Programmable Time Interval for Data Capture
b. Flow
4 Real-time data is defined as data that is immediately available upon sensor reading to the hydro operators.
The operators then use that data to make decisions regarding plant operations.
I<

i. Continuous (pipe, flume, etc.)
ii. Open Channel (rating curve of stage/discharge)
iii. Supplemental manual gage
c. Water Quality
i. Temperature only
ii. Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen
1. Polarographic
a. Membrane rate dependent
b. Membrane rate independent
c. Contained for auto calibration
2. Optical (Luminescence Quenching)
The type of flow sensor is determined by the application, e.g. opening of a pipe
orifice or open channel stage changes. Flow measurement devices must by
calibrated, but, once the calibration of the flow sensors is established, the
readings remain stable for a long period of time. One to two years is the usual
interval between calibrations. Temperature sensors are very stable over time but
should be rechecked every 1-2 years for accuracy throughout the expected
temperature range.
Dissolved oxygen sensors are very problematic in terms of maintaining
calibration over time. The traditional Clark Cell (polarographic, membrane rate
dependent sensor) has been very prone to fouling (physical, chemical, and
biological reactions that change the permeability of the Teflon membrane,
thereby changing the calibration conditions). Even though a maintenance
program of 1-2 week recalibrations was established during the 10-year
monitoring program on the Catawba River, the oxygen electrodes were still
subjected to significant inaccuracies due to membrane fouling. Periodic
electrode replacement every 3-5 days on the lower Catawba sites also indicated
the tendency for the Clark Cell type electrode to require very high frequency
maintenance.
Manufacturers of oxygen electrodes have been aware of the fouling problem for
a long time. Three different approaches to minimize the impact of fouling have
been taken.
• First, tests of a polarographic method, where the calibration of the
sensor is not dependent upon the rate of oxygen transfer across the
membrane, have demonstrated that the oxygen electrode maintains its
accuracy for months, even in areas very prone to fouling. The
disadvantage of this type of electrode is that the response time to
changing oxygen conditions is on the order of minutes, not seconds as
is the traditional Clark Cell.
• The 2nd approach to oxygen electrode application is a self contained,
auto calibrating sensor. The principal is that the electrode is exposed
to water saturated air at frequent intervals and the electrode is
constantly being recalibrated to that saturated air. This system must
0

be used in a flow -through application and is not available for in situ
placement.
Luminescence quenching (oxygen inhibiting light excitation / emission
phase delays) has been studied since 1939. Advances in light emitting
diodes, low -powered, high speed electronics, and miniaturization of
electrodes, has allowed for the development of instruments suitable for
field deployments. The luminescence quenching electrodes offer long-
term stability in environments where Clark Cells foul rapidly, rapid
response time, and predictable temperature dependencies (Mitchell,
2006).
Duke Power is currently evaluating these new technologies to provide accurate
data while minimizing the maintenance required for calibration. Duke Power will
recommend a system(s) for long-term, reliable dissolved oxygen compliance.
The evaluation of "new" equipment and technologies will no doubt be an ongoing
process throughout the duration of the FERC License.
Recommendations for Sensor Placement
The proposed sites for compliance monitoring (Table 2) of the Catawba-Wateree
Hydros were based upon the various releases described in Appendix A. The
recommended locations of the monitoring points described in Table 2 are
illustrated on the maps and aerial photos in Appendix B. The proposed
compliance monitoring locations, especially in the riverine tailwaters, are based
upon data collected by longitudinal and lateral placement of DO sensors (see
Duke Power, 2005). Before compliance monitors are installed, the entire program
will have to be approved by both North and South Carolina Water Quality
Agencies as a portion of their Section 401 certification.

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN (QAPP)
The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has `developed the QAPP as
a tool for project managers and planners to document the type and quality of
data needed for environmental decisions and to describe the methods for
collecting and assessing those data' (USEPA, 2001). Both North and South
Carolina will require a QAPP, as specified by the USEPA, describing the
activities associated with the Catawba-Wateree Compliance Monitoring Plan.
The proposed QAPP (Ideally — same document for both NC and SC) should:
— Be Developed by Duke Power, and Reviewed and Approved by
North and South Carolina Water Quality Agencies
— Follow USEPA Format
• Content
— Project Management
— Measurement/Data Acquisition
• Instrument Procedures and Calibration
• Assessment/Oversight
— Data Validation and Usability
— Reporting Requirements
The 1st Draft of the QAPP is scheduled to be available for the state agency
review in early 2007. However, as techniques are evaluated and applied, and as
experience progresses throughout the installation and initial operation of the
7

monitors, some procedures may change. This is especially true for the
instrument procedures and calibration portion of the QAPP.
The Catawba-Wateree Compliance Monitoring QAPP will be an ongoing
document throughout the license as new technology may be incorporated into
the compliance program. However, these changes would be reflected in a
modified QAPP with state approval.

Subject Proposed Discussion Agenda for 413 and 4/5 Water Quality
Meetings
Thank you for agreeing to meet with us on Monday April 3 (NC) and Wednesday April 5 (SC) to continue
our work on the Catawba-Wateree AIP Water Quality Compliance Monitoring Plan (WQCMP, Attachment
O) and Flow and Water Quality Implementation Plan (FWQIP, Attachment N). As I mentioned in my earlier
note of 3/24/06, we have an opportunity to make significant progress on both these items and we'd like to
consult with you on the whats, whys, whens and hows that we propose for getting there. This note
provides a general agenda for the day so that you can prepare as needed and also send us any feedback
on the agenda to make our time as productive as it can be. I'm estimating that each meeting will last about
two hours and propose that we cover:
AIP Attachment O (WQCMP)
- First priority (AIP calls for Aft O to be ready for June 1 FA)
- Scope of effort and when products are expected
monitor types, locations and implementation dates
QAPP
compliance report format and content
- Comments on Jon Knight's compliance monitoring plan distributed on 2/28/06 (Does anyone
need copies?)
- Information gaps to fill
- Clarify temperature compliance and monitoring requirements
- Achieving a solid technical basis for monitor locations
AIP Attachment N (FWQIP)
- Second priority (AIP stipulates no due date, but we should work towards the revised FA signing
date)
- Review proposed sources of information to compute aeration gaps
- Review work plan proposed for data gathering, modeling and computing areation gaps
- Any other anticipated information needs(implementation schedule, interim measures, flow
justification, etc...) to incorporate into the work plan
Consultation with Other Agencies and Interested Stakeholders
This sounds like a pretty full dance card to me. If you have questions, agenda suggestions or need
additional information, please contact me. Thanks again for your help.
(PS: I'll have to leave the SC meeting promptly at 12:00 in order to get back to Charlotte in time to pick my
wife and daughter up at the airport. Thanks in advance for your understanding.)

Subject Re: AIP signature copy with technical edits[
Greg, I got NCDWQ approval of the FWQIP language at about 5:00 today. It agrees with the most recent
language recommendation from Garry Rice, so we're good to go. As we just discussed, please add the
following paragraph as a new Note 8 to AIP Attachment N.
If a state water quality agency requires additional equipment modifications beyond those listed in
the FWQIP or Attachment N to assure compliance with Dissolved Oxygen standards, the fact
that such modifications are not currently specified in the FWQIP or Attachment N does not
render these modifications inconsistent with the Final Agreement. With regard to any
equipment modifications necessary to assure compliance with any other standard, required
modifications to prescribed flows, releases, and reservoir levels, may be inconsistent with the
Final Agreement and may be subject to review pursuant to the provisions of AIP Section 16.5.2.
Also, please make sure that in Attachment N, Great Falls Long and Short Bypasses, the description of the
proposed equipment modification (gate) is made plural.

Subject: AIP signature copy with technical edits
Jeff and Ken,
The revised AIP signature copy with technical corrections in redline is attached. This is being FedExed to
you, Ken. This does not include the language I was waiting on from Mark Oakley, but we can easily
incorporate this tomorrow ? we had to get this to the printer and out the door for FedEx. Also (Ken), your
formatting changes to the attachments were not obvious to me and were thus, not incorporated. We will
need to address this first thing tomorrow morning. I?ve also included a spreadsheet that lists each
organization that submitted comments, the suggested technical edits, Duke?s response, and action taken
as a result. Jeff, I would suggest printing/viewing this at your Duke offices because of the perceived
formatting issues we were having earlier.
Feel free to call me on my cell phone [phone]) tonight if you have any questions.

Subject Catawba-Wateree Water Duality Activities Update
Thanks for your hard work and for your feedback at our February 28 WQ RC meeting and at our
March 1 and 2 All -Teams Meetings. Your engagement has led to new FWQIP (Attachment N)
interpretation language to add to the AIP as well as a slightly modified water quality work plan
for this year.
FWQIP Interpretation Language
The final AIP with technical corrections to be distributed by K&W on March 31 will include
some new language intended to provide a general interpretation of what kind of potential future
changes to the FWQIP (a.k.a. Attachment N) may be expected and what kind of changes may be
considered actions inconsistent with the FA. This language improves the comfort level for
several stakeholders to sign the AIP and FA and allows us a little more time to do the kind of
evaluations needed to have reasonable assurance that applicable state dissolved oxygen standards
will be met by the planned equipment modifications. I would include the language in this note
but there are still a couple of details being worked out.
Aeration Modeling and Field Testing
The preceding interpretive language allows time for a more comprehensive approach to gathering
the data needed at each hydro station needed to solve the simple equation:
DO deficit — current aeration capability = aeration gap (need for equipment mods)
We have looked at each station individually and determined that a combination of past data
collections and existing reservoir water quality (W2) models coupled with new turbine venting
models and additional on -site turbine aeration tests and airflow tests to be done this summer will
be used to "solve the equation". This should position us to evaluate the equipment modifications
needed to close the aeration gap.
Water Ouality Work Plan
We're still on track to exceed what we agreed to do in the AIP. As spelled out in AIP sections
13.2.1 and 15,1.1, Duke Power and DTA will consult with applicable resource agencies to
develop a work plan for our aeration modeling and field testing work this year and continue to
develop the Water Quality Compliance Monitoring Plan (Attachment O) and the FWQIP
(Attachment N). Due to our revised work plan our March 30 WQ RC meeting is cancelled.
We will first work on Attachment O (Water Quality Compliance Monitoring Plan) which must
be completed in time to include in the FA to be distributed for signature on June 1. Duke Power
will distribute a copy to the WQ RC for review and comment by May 1.

We will also evaluate the Flow and Water Quality Implementation Plan (FWQIP, Attachment N)
and make changes, if needed, based on aeration modeling and field testing results in time to be
included in the revised FA signature copy in to be distributed on October 2. The FWQIP
(Attachment N) will be distributed to the WQ RC for review and comment by September 1.

Do you remember what the Charter says about who signs the AIP?
According to the Charter, all Primary Team Members are expected to sign the AIP
indicating, among other things, their level of consensus on the entire document.
Alternates who represent organizations that are different than their Primary may
sign the AIP. Alternates who represent the same organization as their Primary do
not sign the AIP.
What is Level of Consensus?
2. Primary Team Members (or their Alternate Team Members in the absence of the
Primary Team Members) indicate their level of consensus with the AIP.
a. Agree in Consensus with the AIP (i.e., rate the document as a 1-3 on the
Team's 5-paint consensus rating scale)
b. Agree in Consensus with Major Reservations with the AIP (i.e., rate the
document as a 4 on the Team's 5-point consensus rating scale)
c. Are Not in Consensus with the AiP (i.e., rate the document as a 5 on the
Team's 5-point consensus rating scale).
3. Primary Team Members who rate the AIP as a 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the 5-point
consensus scale will work to prepare the FA. This involves converting the
concepts and content of the non -binding AIP into language that is contractually
binding on the parties that sign the FA.
4. By signing a 1-4, Team Members are indicating they do not know of any reason
why their organization would not sign the binding FA, and that they will endeavor in
good faith with the other parties to develop the FA and acquire the signature of
their authorized representative.
5. Primary Team Members rating it a 5 will not continue to participate in the FA
drafting.
How will the AIP signing process work?
6. All Primary Team Members will rate (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) and sign the document.
7. Primary Team Members who rate the document a 4 or 5 will additionally:
a. Identify on the appropriate line within the signature block the paragraph(s),
subparagraph(s) and page numbers of any specific element(s) of the AIP
that caused them to rate the AIP as a 4 or 5.
b. Provide a 500-word or less statement describing their basic reasons for
having Major Reservations or Dissension with the specific element(s).
Do I have to be present to sign the AIP?
8. No. Signatures can be provided in separate counterparts and later combined with
other signatures. Signatures on the AIP signature page may be mailed to the
facilitators to arrive in our offices anytime on or before April 17, 2006. We will
provide instructions to those not able to attend the April 13, 2006 signing
ceremony.
2

Where will the AIP be filed?
9. Duke will file the AIP (along with any Major Reservation Statements or Dissension
Statements) with its license application to FERC and with its applications for 401
Water Quality Certifications to the NC Division of Water Quality and the SC
Department of Health and Environmental Control.
How will I receive my signature copy of the AIP?
10. ALL PRIMARY TEAM MEMBERS will receive a hard copy of the document which
will be over-nighted from K&W to arrive on Feb 15". K&W will also post the AIP on
the cwadmin website on Feb 15th. (We will also provide CD if requested.)
11. Alternates representing organizations different from their Primary will also receive
an over-nighted copy of the AIP on February 15.
12. To receive your copy, you must sign for the document.
13. It's the Primaries' responsibility to share the AIP with their organizations' FA
Authorized Signatory and principals as well as their Alternate (although the
Alternate can also access the web site).
14. Alternates who represent organizations different from their Primary should also
share the AIP with their principals and FA Authorized Signatories.
What's the next step after the AIP is signed?
15. Those Primary Team Members who rate the AIP as a 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the five -point
consensus scale will continue to Step Two, which is to prepare the FA. This
involves converting the concepts and content of the non -binding AIP into language
that is contractually binding on the parties that sign the FA. With this two-step
procedure, the negotiating of relicensing-related issues is complete once the AIP is
signed, with only the contract terms and implementation details remaining to be
considered during the FA development step.
How will the FA be developed?
16. During the 60-day AIP review, Duke Power, working with K&W, will begin
converting the AIP signature copy into a first -draft Final Agreement.
17. In preparing the first -draft AIP, Duke's attorney will develop the contract
"boilerplate" and flesh out other AIP Section 17 topics possibly working with a small
group of attorneys representing stakeholders. Duke's attorney will also be
attentive to converting the other AIP language into the FA.
18. Also during that 60-day AIP review, certain FA resource sections will likely be
informally checked with several Team Member resource experts involved in the
development of those sections.
19. The first -draft FA will be distributed on April 20.
20. Between the AIP signing and April 20, the facilitators will identify a small number of
Team Members to review and discuss elements of the FA and, in particular, the
Section 17 topics including the boilerplate. We anticipate just a few face-to-face
meetings.
21. The FA's progress will be discussed in an All -Teams meeting on May 4.

Section 401 Water Quality Certification Process Timeline
As stated in the signature copy of the Agreement -In -Principle (AIP) we are to continue to
refine the Flow and Water Quality Implementation Plan (FWQIP), the Water Quality
Compliance Monitoring Plan (WQCMP) and the Quality Assurance Procedures Plan
(QAPP). The time between now and June 1, 2006 is devoted to answering questions related
to the FWQIP and WQCMP (what equipment/where installed/when installed). This is
followed by completing the QAPP (procedural and data details) in time to file all three
documents as part of the 401 Water Quality Certification applications.
