Dear. Dr. Oliver:
In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on January 31, 1991, we are
forwarding herewith the subject State - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
In response to your letter of April 14, 1994, regarding the draft permit, the following
modifications/comments are offered:
• Supplement to permit cover sheet - The referenced items regarding low volume wastewater
have been deleted.
• Outfall 003 (Heated Water Discharge) - The phrase "without cooling towers" and footnote
#2, allowing equal volume composite sampling, have been added as requested.
• Outfall 005 - Cooling Tower Unit 4 - Temperature monitoring has been deleted at this
location since it is monitored at outfall 002.
• Outfall 009 - Chemical Metal Cleaning Wastes - The cited reference to low volume wastes
has been deleted.
• Part III, Conditon L. - Temperature Requirements - In item 2, the phrase "standards
including" has been deleted, and in item 3 the word "temperature" has been added, to clarify
these requirements.
• Additionally, in the letter sent with the draft preview on November 19, 1993, it was stated
that the monitoring frequencies at outfall 006 (coalpile runoff) for flow and TSS would be
changed to 2/month. That change was mistakenly omitted at that time and has now been
corrected

monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream,
this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
F. ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)
The permittee shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in
E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pirrephales
promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples
for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. Sampling and
subsequent testing will occur during the first five discrete discharge events after the effective date
of this permit. After monitoring of the first five toxicity tests, the permittee will conduct one test
annually, with the annual period beginning in January of the next calendar year. The annual test
requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30,
notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the
next discharge event for the annual test requirement.

5. Nlass/Da% Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic7 mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average' in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "week]; average discharge' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average'
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
vear. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average' in Part I of the permit.

6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" to
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow. (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge now from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.

In accordance with the notification requirements found at Part II E.9 of the subject NPDES
permit, the purpose of this letter is to document the event that occurred on December 26, 1995
and reported to you on December 27, 1995.
On December 26, 1995, at approximately 8:00 A.M., water from a leak at a coupling in an ash
transport water line was noticed to be entering the discharge canal. The leaking water had
entered into the ditch that contains the ash transport water lines and was entering the discharge
canal from this ditch. Subsequent investigation discovered that the source of the water was a
sump pump from a sump in the ash handling area. The leak was repaired at approximately
12:15 PM on the same day. It is believed that approximately 200 (two hundred) gallon of this
sump water entered the discharge canal where it was overwhelmingly diluted by approximately
1 billion gallons of discharge water. Visual observation concluded that there was no impact to
the effluent in the discharge canal, as expected.
If there are any questions regarding this information, please contact Richard C. Yates, (919)

Temporary Water Withdrawal from Hyco Reservoir
Dear Ms. Garrett:
Albert O. Flowers
Plant Manager
September 22, 1995
o
L-_
On August 28, 1995, Mr. Rick Yates of Carolina Power & Light Company's Environmental
Services Section contacted Mr. Steve Mitchell of your office to discuss CP&L's plan to
temporarily pump makeup water for the Roxboro Plant's Unit 4 cooling tower directly from
Hyco Reservoir. Normally, this makeup water is withdrawn at a continuous rate of
approximately 4000 gallons per minute from the plant's cooling water discharge canal to offset
evaporative and blowdown losses from the cooling tower. The withdrawal of this makeup water
from the lake rather than the canal for approximately one month is designed to evaluate the
potential benefit of using cooler makeup water on the operational efficiency of the power plant.
Mr. Mitchell concluded that no approval is required from the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management for the temporary withdrawal; however, he requested that this letter
be sent to you to describe the action planned by CP&L. Additionally, Mr. Mitchell suggested
that CP&L consult with the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) to
determine what notification was required by that agency. The NCDWR concluded that CP&L
could proceed with its plan and submit a followup letter to supplement the water withdrawal
registration form currently on file with that agency for the Roxboro Plant.

Subsequent to the communications with the NCDEM and the NCDWR cited above, CP&L
initiated the temporary pumping of water from the arm of Hyco Reservoir nearest the Unit 4
cooling tower on Thursday, September 7, 1995. If you have any questions regarding the
information provided in this letter, please contact Mr. Rick Yates at [phone].

Pursuant with the effective date of the renewed NPDES Permit for the above -referenced facility,
the effluent of the sewage treatment plant (outfall 008) was routed to the ash pond (outfall 002).
Ms. J. E. Garrett, of the Raleigh Regional Office, was informed on July 21, 1994 by
Mr. R. K. Miller, of my staff, that the agreed upon routing had been completed and that the
discharge of outfall 008 to outfall 002 was implemented on the effective date of the renewed
permit.

Subsequent to the last telephone conversation with Mr. Mitchell, the necessary repairs to the
standpipe were completed by the plant's maintenance personnel on December 13-14, 1994. The
cofferdam will be removed later this week, and the retention pond system will return to its
normal function.
No harm to the environment or human health was observed during or following the incident.
Prior to the discovery of the leak, the discharge from the retention pond was tested for toxicity
on five occasions during 1994 as required by the NPDES permit. The toxicity tests performed
on the pond's effluent on each of those occasions indicated no acute toxicity.
Please contact Mr. Rick Yates at [phone] if there are any questions regarding the

Request to Delete Outfall Serial Number 009
Dear Mr. Goodrich:
Albert O. Flowers
Plant Manager
AUG 7 1995
Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) has determined that outfall serial number 009
(Chemical Metal Cleaning Wastes) in the subject NPDES permit is unnecessary. The basin
designated in the Roxboro Plant's last permit renewal application for treatment of chemical
cleaning wastes for discharge via outfall serial 009 to the plant's ash pond (outfall serial
002) has not been used for its intended purpose since July 30, 1987, when the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) amended the Roxboro Plant's
air permit to allow incineration of the chemical cleaning wastes in the facility's boilers.
Therefore, CP&L respectfully requests that the NCDEM modify the facility's NPDES
permit to delete outfall serial number 009.
As you directed Mr. Rick Yates of CP&L's Environmental Services Section staff during a
telephone conversation on July 14, 1995, this request is sent to your attention with a
$400.00 check (Enclosure 1) for the required application processing fee for a permit
modification. Additionally, as you requested, a site map indicating the permitted outfalls
(Enclosure 2) and a revised copy of the schematic diagram of the wastewater flows
(Enclosure 3) are provided.

Dear Mr. Goodrich:

Plant Manager
AUG 2 3 1995
Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) recently sent a letter to you dated August 7,
1995, requesting that the NCDEM modify the Roxboro Steam Electric Plant's NPDES
permit to delete outfall serial number 009. Subsequently, CP&L determined that the
schematic diagram of the wastewater flows provided with that request as Enclosure 3 did
not show one of the internal wastewater flow pathways. A minor flow of a maximum of
0.75 MGD from the ash transport system is used to sluice bottom ash to the ash landfill.
The bottom ash is used to enhance the subsurface drainage of the landfill. The ash sluice
water along with all other ash landfill drainage is routed back to the facility's ash pond
(outfall serial 002).
As agreed in your telephone communication with Mr. Rick Yates on August 15, 1995,
CP&L is submitting the enclosed corrected version of the schematic diagram of the
wastewater flows to be substituted for Enclosure 3 provided with the CP&L letter dated
August 7, 1995. CP&L appreciates your assistance. If you have any questions or require
additional information, please contact Mr. Yates at [phone].

Dear Mr. Schuster:
In accordance with Part II, E 9 (a) of the above referenced NPDES Permit, on June 29, 1995, Mr. S. Mitchell
of the Raleigh Regional Office of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NC-DEM)
was notified via telephone by Ms. J. P. Cooke of CP&L's Environmental Services Section that an overflow
of the facility's Unit 3 cooling tower basin had occurred. Pursuant to a June 30, 1995 agreement between
Ms. J. P. Cooke and Ms. J. E. Garrett, Water Quality Supervisor - Raleigh Regional Office of NC-DEM, the
required written follow-up notification is being provided by July 7, 1995.
On June 29, 1995, excessively heavy rainfall resulted in an inordinately large amount of inflow into the Unit
3 cooling tower basin. The inflow into the cooling tower basin caused the basin to fill rapidly and
subsequently overflow into the facility's intake canal. The overflow ceased and the basin returned to normal
operating level when the rainfall stopped. Recurrence is highly unlikely. No harm to the environment or
human health occurred during or after the overflow.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Mr. G. H. Ohmstede at [phone]
or Mr. R. C. Yates at [phone].

Dear Ms. Garrett:
Based on your agency's inspection of our facility on June 15, 1995, changes listed below have been implemented to
strengthen our NPDES program at the Roxboro Steam Electric Plant. These changes address the observations made in
your letter dated June 22, 1995.
In response to Item 2, we have set up an annual calibration program for all flow meters with documentation of the
calibrations in the ORC's daily log book. This year's calibrations will be completed before August 31, 1995.
Item 3 addresses the need for a separate log book for the calibration records for the chlorine analyzer. According to the
manufacturer of this instrument, only a zero calibration is necessary before each use. This zero calibration is performed
before each use and is recorded in our daily operational log for the Unit 4 cooling tower, Outfall #005. At the time of
the inspection, it was unclear whether there was a need to bracket expected ranges because the manufacturer's operation
manual was not available. We will continue to zero this instrument before each use and record the results on the daily
operator log sheet.
To address Item 4, all certified laboratories used for conducting our analyses will be noted on each DMR. This practice
has been reflected on the June 1995 DMR's.
As communicated on March 31, 1995 (see Attachment), signatory authority was transferred from Dr. G. J. Oliver to the
Plant Manager at Roxboro Plant. Since I am the Plant Manager of the Roxboro Plant, I have the authority to sign the
DMR's.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Mr. R. C. Yates at [phone].

Dear Mr. Schuster:
In accordance with Part 11, E 9 (a) of the above referenced NPDES Permit, on June 29, 1995, Mr. S. Mitchell
of the Raleigh Regional Office of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NC-DEM)
was notified via telephone by Ms. J. P. Cooke of CP&L's Environmental Services Section that an overflow
of the facility's Unit 3 cooling tower basin had occurred. Pursuant to a June 30, 1995 agreement between
Ms. J. P. Cooke and Ms. J. E. Garrett, Water Quality Supervisor - Raleigh Regional Office of NC-DEM, the
required written follow-up notification is being provided by July 7, 1995.
On June 29, 1995, excessively heavy rainfall resulted in an inordinately large amount of inflow into the Unit
3 cooling tower basin. The inflow into the cooling tower basin caused the basin to fill rapidly and
subsequently overflow into the facility's intake canal. The overflow ceased and the basin returned to normal
operating level when the rainfall stopped. Recurrence is highly unlikely. No harm to the environment or
human health occurred during or after the overflow.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Mr. G. H. Ohmstede at [phone]
or Mr. R. C. Yates at [phone].

Dear Dr. Oliver:
wT""l dFs odd.
The subject inspection was performed by Ted Cashion of my
staff and Kristie Robeson of the Aquatic Toxicity Group on June 15,
1995. The cooperation of Greg Ohmstede and Billy Carson was
appreciated. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. A review of laboratory reports and DMR data showed
consistent reporting of results.
2. Instrument flow measuring devices are required to be
calibrated at a minimum of once per year. It was noted during
the inspection that the flow meter for outfall 002 was last
calibrated approximately 2 years ago. Please document future
calibrations of each meter.
3. A log book documenting calibration of the pH meter is
maintained as required. No log documenting chlorine meter
calibration is maintained. Please document calibration before
each use using standards that bracket the expected values. If
you have questions on this subject please contact William
Edwards of the Laboratory Certification Group at 919-733-3908.
4. Please indicate on DMRs each certified laboratory that
performs analyses for the facility.
5. All outfalls were observed during the inspection and
appeared free of excess solids and foam. No evidence of
detrimental impact to the environment was apparent.

As reported to Mr. Randy Jones of the NCDEM Raleigh Regional Office on April 26, 1995
lubricating oil was discovered seeping into below grade electrical vaults and an adjacent hole
at CP&L's Roxboro Plant. The oral notification provided on April 26th is responsive to that
required by NCGS § 143-215.85 and that likewise required in 15A NCAC §2L.0106. The oil
release was discovered in the plant's coal handling area.
The measures being taken to contain and remove the discharge are as follows: Free product
recovery began on April 26th. Similarly, work was initiated to determine the extent and cause
of the oil release. We believe the source of the oil leak was a buried pipeline. We have isolated
that line and removed it from service.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please call me at [phone]
or Tom Crawford in Raleigh at [phone]. We appreciate the cooperation afforded us.

In accordance with North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.85, Mr. Donald R. Ennis of my staff
reported to you by telephone on March 7, 1994, an oil spill that occurred that same day at the
Roxboro Steam Electric Plant near Roxboro, North Carolina. Approximately 100-150 gallons of
No. 2 fuel oil (non -PCB) were released when the oil header system became overpressurized and
blew out the gaskets on the fuel oil meters. The oil release resulted from an abnormal condition
which is not expected to recur. Appropriate plant personnel were advised to avoid such abnormal
maintenance conditions.
All oil was contained in plant containment or cleanup systems and no visible traces were released
to the environment. The oil was recovered/absorbed and appropriately disposed of with no harm
to human health or the environment.
As you requested, enclosed is a Spill Notification Response System Report which contains
additional information. If you have any questions concerning this report, or need additional
information, please contact Mr. D. R. Ennis at [phone].

Revision to Permit Renewal Application
Dear Mr. Nizich:
S7 " r'.; '�-1
As you are aware, Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) applied on January 30, 1991 to renew the
subject permit. Since that time, the Company has chosen to revise the internal flow path of one of the
waste streams identified in the renewal application. As a result, the permit will no longer require OutW1
007, the discharge from the oil/water seperator serving the oil loading area and discharging to the heated
water discharge canal. CP&L is hereby modifying the permit renewal application to reflect that change.
Specifically, CP&L is prepared to divert the oily waste drains from the fuel oil loading area to the plam's
main oily waste collection and disposal system. The waste water from the oil loading area will then be
combined with other oily waste, treated by existing oil/water separators that have ample capacity, and
pumped to the ash pond along with the other low volume waste water. A revised waste water flow
diagram is enclosed for your reference. Other than adding the additional treatment of the ash pond for
that small additional quantity of low volume waste, no additions or modifications of treatment processes
is involved in this change.
For the reasons given above, please modify the renewal permit to delete outfall 007. 1f you have any
questions or require additional information, please contact Cam Wheeler at 546-6725 in our general
office.
Yours very truly,

Roxboro Steam Electric Plant
NPDES Application
Description of waste Streams
The Roxboro Steam Electric plant is a coal-fired electric
generating plant with four units rated with a net dependable
capacity of 385, 670, 707, and 700 MWe for units 1, 2, 3, and 4
respectively. oil is used as a fuel only for the start-up of a
unit. Chemical constituents contained in these discharges will, in
part, be representative of the naturally occurring chemical quality
of the intake water and will also have chemical constituents of
such quality and quantity associated with similar discharges for
fossil generating facilities of this size, type, and in this
geographical location. Either all or part of the elements
enumerated in the Periodic Table, either singularly or in any
combination, may from time to time be contained in the discharge.
outfall 001 - Discharge Canal
At the point that the discharge canal enters Hyco Reservior, it
contains the flows from several waste streams, including once -
through cooling water, the discharge of a small oil/water
separator, and the effluent from the ash pond, which in turn
receives and treats the combined flows from the ash transport
system, the low volumes wastes collection system, chemical metal
cleaning wastes, cooling tower blowdown, and the storm water runoff
from the fly ash landfill. Detailed descriptions of these
individual waste streams are below.
once through coo i g water
Condenser cooling water (CCW) for Units 1, 2, and 3 is
withdrawn from the intake canal and is discharged to the
discharge canal. Flows for Units 1, 2, and 3 are 236 MGD, 323
MGD, and 512 MGD respectively. Cooling is accomplished by
evaporation from the surface of Hyco Reservoir and mixing and
convection with reservoir waters.
During the summer months, Unit 3 CCW is routed through
mechanical draft cooling towers where most of the waste heat
is removed by evaporation before that water is discharged to
the reservoir via the discharge canal along with the CCW of
Units I and 2. Inside the plant, CCW is used to supply non -
contact cooling water for the component closed cooling water
system, that flow combines with the CCW within the plant prior
to discharge to the canal.
Control of biological fouling on heat exchanger surfaces
during the warmer months is accomplished by addition of
chlorine gas as required, which is usually less than 2 hours
per day per unit, with a net total residual chlorine of less

SAN-26-1994 12:09 FROM r 1 WATER QUALITY SECTION TO
RRO P.05i0?
than 0.2 ppm discharged during that period.
LQw Volume Wastes (oil/Water Separator)
The fuel oil unloading area near the oil tanks is bermed to
prevent accidental release of oil to the reservoir. Any
contaminated storm water from this area is routed through a
oil water separator for treatment and then discharged to the
discharge canal.
Ash Pond Discharge
The ash pond receives ash transport water, low -volume wastes,
runoff from the ash landfill, blowdown from the Unit 4 cooling
tower, and is planned to receive sewage treatment plant
effluent. The pond provides treatment by sedimentation,
oxidation, neutralization, equalization, and adsorption.
Since this is a major portion of the waste water fron this
facility and there is substantial dilution of this waste
stream with the once -through cooling water prior to reaching
outfall 003, a priority pollutant analysis of the ash pond
discharge (outfall 002 in the current permit) is attached.
Ash Transport Water
Water for sluicing ash to the ash pond is withdrawn from
the CCW system as needed. Normally, only bottom ash is
conveyed to the ash pond in this manner; fly ash is
handled dry by a pneumatic system and is landfilled on
site or sold. If 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 system until
the dry system is restored. Such occurrences are
expected to be infrequent and brief.
Low Volume Wastes
Boiler make-up water is withdrawn from the CCW system and
filtered, softened, and evaporated for treatment. In
some cases, when unit evaporators are not in service,
boiler water is treated by deionization. Boiler water is
treated with ammonia, hydrazine and sodium hydroxide.
Boiler and evaporator 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 the pumped to the ash pond.
Ethylene glycol is used during cold weather 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

7
volume system. Essentially all plant equipment, floor
drains, and ash hopper seal water overflow also discharge
to the LVWS.
Cooling Tower Slowdown
Normally, bottom ash transport water withdrawals from the
Unit 4 CCW system is sufficient to control total
dissolved solids (TDS) in the cooling towers. However,
at times when that is not adequate, some additional
blowdown to the ash pond may be required to keep.
concentrations of TDS to within proper operating limits.
Unit 4 is the only unit that would produce cooling tower
blowdown.
Chemical Metal Cleaning Waste
The boilers and other heat exchanger surfaces are
chemically cleaned every five to seven years using a mild
citric acid solution. This cleaning solution and rinses
are stored on site for disposal by incineration in a
operating unit's boiler. Typical boiler cleanings would
result in a waste of approximately 100,000 - 200,000
gallons every two to three years. Should incineration
not be used, the waste will be routed to a treatment
basin for neutralization and precipitation prior to
discharge to the ash pond. Cleaning of other heat
exchanger surfaces may produce 5,000-10,000 gallons every
three to five years.
Stormwater Runoff from Ash Landfill
The ash landfill, which was constructed as part of the
conversion of the ash handling system at the plant from
a wet handling system to a dry system, began operation in
1988 and encompasses approximately 315 acres. The
landfill is located at the site of the old east ash pond
and was constructed so that all portions of the landfill,
both active and inactive, drain to the current ash pond.
Treated Domestic Sewage
The Roxboro Plant proposes to route the treated effluent
from the domestic sewage treatment facilities (see
description of outfall 006) to the ash pond. The
additional treatment afforded by the ash pond will
provide an extra measure of protection for the quality of
Hyco Reservoir. . The additional adsorption,
sedimentation, and oxidation provided by the pond and the
ash will provide a very reliable level of additional
treatment for the domestic sewage.

;AN-26-1994 12:10 FROM r-M WATER QUALITY SECTION TO RRO P.07i07
outfall 008 - Domestic Sewage
Domestic sewage from the approximately 325 employees on site and
occasional extra contract maintenance employees is treated by an
extended aeration treatment plant consisting of a screen,
comminuter, surge tank, aeration tank, clarifier, chlorine contact
chamber, and a sludge holding tank.
As a backup to the extended aeration system described above, there
is a septic tank, subsurface sand filter, and chlorine dosing
chamber that provide treatment if the other system is temporarily
out of service, and discharges to the discharge canal.
Storm water runoff from the coal pile and the other coal handling
areas of the plant is routed to a retention pond for treatment by
sedimentation and equalization. The pond is designed to store in
excess of the 10-year/24-hour storm event. Releases are controlled
by a standpipe and skimmer discharge structure.

Dear Mr. Oliver:
On December 13, 1993 Danny Smith and Judy Garrett of the
Raleigh Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection of the subject facility. As a result, the following
comments and/or recommendations are made:
1. Screenings from the bar screen are normally not removed.
The screenings are very infrequent and generally do not build-
up in significant amounts to require attention. However, the
material that is discarded is sent to the county landfill.
2. All other treatment units appeared to be operating
satisfactorily.
3. NCAC 2B .0505 (b)(1) requires annual calibration of the
flow meters. Calibration information must be kept on file
for a period of three years. Also, this office recommends
that your flow meter be checked weekly by an operator and
the respective information recorded in a log book. This will
insure that the flow meters at your facility are calibrated
and are recording within the +10% accuracy limit required by
your NPDES Permit.
4. The effluent for both the package plant (outfall 008) and
the coal pile runoff (outfall 006) were free from visible
solids. These two outfalls discharge into the Hyco Lake
proper. (Note: from visual inspection the coal pile runoff
(006) holding pond appeared to have a slight bluish hue.)

calibration of the flow meters (No. 3) and instrument calibration (No. 9).
Item No. 3
NCAC 2B .0505 (b)(1) requires annual calibration of the flow meters. Calibration information
must be kept on file for a period of 3 years. Also this office recommends that your flow meter
be checked weekly by an operator and the respective information recorded in a log book. This
will ensure that the flow meters a the facility are calibrated and recorded within t 10% accuracy
required by your NPDES permit.
Response
An annual calibration has been established for the flow meter on outflow 008. Calibration of
this flow meter indicated a maximum deviation of f2.7%. A bound, numbered log has been
obtained for the operator -in -responsible charge. This was established on December 22, 1993.
It contains a daily entry for operator sign -in, condition of the plant and actions taken to ensure
its proper operation.

Mr. K. Schuster 2
APR 13 M
Item No. 9
A log book for the results of the C12 spectrophotometer was maintained. However, no
instrument calibration information was available. In order to document calibration you need to
develop a log where blanks for standard calibration data can be recorded.
Response
To address Item No. 9, a log book has been established to record data related to C12 blanks and
standard calibration curve data. Discharge of chlorinated water has been limited in the past due
to problems with the feed system. With the upgrade of these systems, monitoring and adequate
recordkeeping of this parameter is imperative as well as its documentation.
We hope this has been responsive to your need to close out the NPDES compliance evaluation
inspection. Also we would like to thank Mr. Danny Smith and Ms. Judy Garrett for their time
in helping to make sure that Roxboro Plant stays current and in compliance with its NPDES
permit.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Schuster:
DEC 19 1994
On December 9, 1994, at 4:00 p.m., Mr. Steve Mitchell of the Raleigh Regional Office of the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management was notified via telephone by Mr. Rick
Yates of my staff about a suspected leak in the discharge standpipe (Outfall 006) in the coal pile
retention pond at the Roxboro Steam Electric Plant. At Mr. Mitchell's direction, this letter is
being submitted to describe the circumstances related to the confirmation of the leak and its
subsequent repair.
At about 2:00 p.m. on Friday, December 9, 1994, Roxboro Plant staff observed a small vortex
at the water surface in the coal pile retention pond adjacent to the discharge standpipe indicating
a small subsurface leak in the standpipe. The water level in the pond was below the level of
normal discharge from the standpipe. The plant staff was proceeding with plans to isolate the
suspected leak and make any necessary repairs. Mr. Mitchell recommended that CP&L
complete its assessment on Monday, December 12, 1994, and then call him again to describe
the extent of the problem and CP&L's followup action, if necessary.
On Monday, December 12, 1994, the plant staff determined that there was a leak of an estimated
3 or 4 gallons per minute of the permitted retention pond effluent through the standpipe to the
permitted outfall into Hyco Lake. In response, the standpipe was isolated by constructing a
small earthen cofferdam across the retention pond and pumping the water from behind the dam
into the remaining portion of the retention pond. At about 1:00 p.m., the leak through a small
hole at a junction between metal and concrete portions of the standpipe was discovered and
stopped. The repairs to the standpipe were being planned. Mr. Yates again contacted Mr.
Mitchell by telephone at 2:45 p.m. to advise him of the current status. During that telephone
conversation, Mr. Mitchell asked that a followup letter be sent to NCDEM when the repairs
were completed. He stated that no other action by CP&L would be necessary.

DEC 1 9 1994
Mr. Ken Schuster 2
Subsequent to the last telephone conversation with Mr. Mitchell, the necessary repairs to the
standpipe were completed by the plant's maintenance personnel on December 13-14, 1994. The
cofferdam will be removed later this week, and the retention pond system will return to its
normal function.
No harm to the environment or human health was observed during or following the incident.
Prior to the discovery of the leak, the discharge from the retention pond was tested for toxicity
on five occasions during 1994 as required by the NPDES permit. The toxicity tests performed
on the pond's effluent on each of those occasions indicated no acute toxicity.
Please contact Mr. Rick Yates at [phone] if there are any questions regarding the
information provided in this letter.

SUBJECT: Staff Report
Draft Permit
CP&L Roxboro
NPDES Permit No. NC0003425
Person County
In answer to your memo concerning- the subject draft permit,
the following comments are offered:
1) The weekly composite of daily grab samples can continue to be
used to determine a "weekly average concentration" to be used in
determining the weekly average pounds per day. The Instream
Assessment Unit has recommended that the Company be required to
report one weekly average mass based on the average weekly flow.
Therefore, in addition to "Daily grab samples shall be combined
into a weekly composite prior to analysis" we recommend the
footnote say "The resultant concentration and the weekly average
flow should be used to report the weekly average concentration of
Selenium". Since only one value for the week will be required to
be reported on the MR-1 form, the measurement frequency and Sample
should be indicated by 2 asterisks.
2) We feel that limitations and monitoring for Units 1, 2, and 3
are sufficiently regulated at Outfall 003. Pipe 004 may be
deleted. The allowance for Unit 4 to be operated in the once -
through cooling mode during the winter months should be added to
the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for Pipe 003.
3) We agree that monitoring of the WWTP effluent is not necessary
and the inclusion of Pipe 008 with limits and no monitoring is a
good solution to provide continued proper operation of the WWTP.
We would also recommend that Monthly fecal coliform monitoring and
limit of 200/100ml be added to the Pipe 002 requirements since the
WWTP and the sludge from the WWTP are both discharged to the ash
pond. We feel that the fecal coliform limit is necessary since
Hyco Lake is class B.

Memorandum to Greg Nizich from RRO Re: CP&L Roxboro Draft Permit
Page 2
4) The blowdown parameters limited and monitored at outfall 005
should be placed on the maintenance drain from unit 4 which
discharges to the (Heated Water) discharge canal, if this is the
only pipe through which blowdown occurs. Blowdown parameters
should also be added to the ash pond Pipe 002 since water that
would normally be blowdown is used for makeup water in the bottom
ash transport system.
If you have questions or need additional information, please
advise.

Dear Mr. Ohmstede:
Enclosed is a copy of the compliance evaluation inspection
conducted by Messrs. Steve Mitchell and Danny Smith of the Raleigh
Regional Office at the subject facility on June 1, 1993. The
renewal of the NPDES Permit for this facility has been held up in
review by the EPA, but the permitted parameters of the previous
permit are still in effect. The following comments and/or
recommendations are offered:
1. Outfall 001, from the East Ash Settling Pond, and Outfall
009, from the Waste Metal Pit: These have had no measurable
discharge for over a year.
2. Outfalls 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, and 007: These outfall
facilities appeared well operated and maintained. 005 flows
into 002, which in turn flows into 003 along with 004 and 007.
3. Pipe 008, from the Domestic Waste Water Treatment Plant
(WWTP): This facility was again well operated and maintained.
A review of the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR) for a one
year period from April 1992 to March 1993 indicated no
violations of permitted parameter limits. This review did
find that the November 1992 DMR was incomplete due to the lack
of a monthly monitoring report for the WWTP. As a result of
this failure to submit the required DMR, this facility was

Telephone [phone] • FAX Number (919) 5714718
An Equal Opportunlry ANinrrative Action 1 -'oM

included on the Quarterly Non Compliant Report to the EPA.
During the RRO'S visit, Mr. Mitchell received a copy of the
missing data. In order to resolve this, please insure that
Central Files has a copy of the missing DMR for Pipe 008.
4. Sludge from the domestic wastewater treatment plant is
removed to the ash pond.
If you should have any questions or are in need of additional
information, please contact Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Tim Donnelly at

Loss of Cooling Towers
Dear Mr. Schuster:
OCT 0 6 1995
DEHNR-RAL RO
In accordance with Part 11, (A)(2)(c) of the above -referenced permit, on September 12, 1993,
Mr. J. M. McDowell of my staff notified you via telephone the same day that Roxboro Unit 3
cooling tower had been disabled due to a large leak. The leak was the result of the booster
pump discharge breaking loose at the concrete connector leading to the cooling tower.
In subsequent conversations, the Department agreed to allow Unit 3 to operate in a once through
cooling mode as long as CP&L collected the following data and Unit 2 remained off-line:
(i) Discharge Canal Temperature
(ii) 4C41) Temperatures
(iii) Cane Creek Temperatures
(iv) Savings from Being Able to Run Unit 3
Attachment A contains items (i) - (iv) above. As you requested, the Hyco Lake was checked
daily for signs of stressed or dying fish. None were found. Also, CP&L's Biological
Assessment Unit surveyed Hyco Lake for stressed or dead fish on September 16, 1993. One
dead catfish was found in the area of the skimmer wall. No stressing fish were seen. The
average generation during this time was 600 MW.

Mr. Ken Schuster - 2 -

the Ash Reuse Permits for the following Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) facilities:
Asheville Steam Electric Plant
Roxboro Steam Electric Plant
Sutton Steam Electric Plant
Permit # W00004714
Permit # WQ0003604
Permit # WQ0006109
There were only two ash reuse projects performed by CP&L facilities during 1992 that
were covered under any of the above permits. These projects involved the use of bottom ash
from the Roxboro Plant and the project reports are enclosed.
Per an agreement with Ms. Carolyn McCaskill, ash analyses outlined in III.3. and IIIA.
were not required during 1992 because all of CP&L's ash use permits were in the process of
being modified. The new permits will require a full TCLP analysis upon renewal, and all
facilities covered by ash reuse permits will have identical monitoring requirements. Ash samples
for the Asheville and Roxboro Plants were analyzed prior to the initiative to modify the permits
and those analyses results are also enclosed. The TCLP results were below regulatory limits.
If you have any questions or comments concerning the enclosed information, please
contact Ms. Teresa Harrison at 546-4706.
