water valve/pump configuration.
DIVERSION FENCE-A diversion fence located at the mouth of the intake canal shall be continuously
operated and maintained in such a manner as to minimize impingement. A biological monitoring program shall
be continued which will provide sufficient information to allow for a continuing assessment of the impact of the
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant on the Cape Fear estuary,with particular emphasis on the marine fisheries. Data
shall be reported annually and shall include an interpretive summary report assessing the effectiveness of the
diversion fence, and the effectiveness of flow minimization and fine mesh screens to curtail organism
impingement and entrainment. The Director shall approve any major changes in the biological monitoring
program.
FINE MESH SCREENS-The plant shall continue to operate 42 fine mesh screen panels for each of the 4
Circulating Water Intake Pumps(CWIPs)for each unit and eight(8)coarse mesh screen panels for each of the 4
CWIPs for each unit for a total of 50 screen panels for each CWIP per unit.
Page 3 of 12

Permit NC0007064
If the CWIPs are in jeopardy of tripping because of high differential pressure across the traveling screens,the
fine mesh screens may be temporarily removed to prevent or mitigate unplanned decreases in power or plant
trips. The fine mesh screens will be reinstalled when conditions permit the CWIPs to sustain continuous
operation. Should flow through a traveling screen with more than eight(8)coarse mesh panels be necessary for
any reason the Permittee shall provide explanation in the monthly report stating the cause(s),duration and
corrective action(s)taken by the plant.
CHLORINE-There shall be no discharge of Total Residual Chlorine(total residual oxidants)at the ocean
outfall. Total Residual Chlorine or total residual oxidants are to be measured monthly at the Caswell Beach
Pump Station by a grab sample.
TEMPERATURE-Cooling-water system facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated to meet the
temperature standards assigned to the Atlantic Ocean: 0.8°C(1.44°F)increase above ambient water temperature
during the months June through August;2.2°C(3.96°F)increase above ambient water temperature during the
months September through May. In no case should the temperature exceed 32°C(89.6°F)due to the discharge
of heated liquid measured three(3)feet below the water surface except within the following defined mixing
zones:
(a). The temperature increase above ambient water temperature shall not exceed 7°F outside an area
of 120 acres included within the plume extending from the point of discharge.
(b). The temperature increase above ambient water temperature shall not exceed 0.8°C (1.44°F)
increase above ambient water temperature during the months of June through August; 2.2°C
(3.96°F) increase above ambient water temperature during the months of September through

(c). The temperature increase above ambient water temperature at the bottom (defined as one foot
above the ocean floor)shall not exceed 7°F for more than 1000 feet from the point of discharge,
nor for an area of more than four(4)acres.
Temperature monitoring at the ocean discharge shall be conducted semiannually, once during the months of
April - November and once during the months of December - March. Reactor power levels should be at least
85% for each unit on the date of monitoring. If it is determined by this Division that the water quality standards
or conditions of this permit are being violated or being threatened (within 90% of the limitations or standards),
additional monitoring may be required.
-- - - Temperature shalt be monitored within a 2320=acre-riebi gufarinixing zone defined by two(2) sampling grids;- --
one near the ocean surface (three feet below the water surface)and the second near the bottom (one foot above
the ocean floor). Temperatures shall be recorded at locations sufficient in number to establish compliance with
Water Quality Standards. The Permittee shall likewise establish and report ambient temperatures beyond each
grid by averaging four(4)temperature measurements -- each measurement to be taken approximately 1500 feet
beyond a different mixing-zone corner on a baring approximately 135°relative to each sampling grid except for
the corners closest to the shoreline which are to be taken 1500 feet from the grid parallel to the shoreline.
Discharge at the ocean outfall shall contain no floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
