Two components of the cooling water operations will be covered under general permits enforced by the State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality (DWQ). The first component is for Non -Contact Cooling Water Discharge under an existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit. The second component is for the Cooling Water Intake Structure which will also be covered under a General Permit. However, the DWQ has not completed the permitting procedures for the Cooling Water Intake Structure. It is assumed both components will be covered under the existing General Permit for Non -Contact Cooling Water Discharge. The cooling water withdrawal intake tower is located in Lake Wylie at Withers Cove, on the Catawba River (see Drawing 1 in the Figures section of this document). The non -contact cooling waters discharge from the facility to a 14-acre Spray Pond located southeast of the facility. From the Spray Pond, the cooling waters discharge through a riser to a stream that flows approximately 1,200 feet to Lake Wylie. 1.1 Cooling Water Intake Structure Permit The Cooling Water Intake Structure (CWIS) Permit is a new requirement from the federal �► Clean Water Act's Section 316(b). The intent of the permit is to regulate the CWIS of each facility that withdraws more than 2 million gallons per day of water of which at least 25 percent is used for cooling water. The regulations are designed to protect fish and other aquatic life from impingement (being pinned against cooling water intake structures) and entrainment (being drawn into cooling water systems and affected by heat, chemicals or physical stress). For impingement mortality control, EPA proposes two potential compliance approaches: (1) Install modified traveling screens equipped with fish buckets, a low-pressure wash and a fish handling and return system, or (2) Reduce through -screen velocity to 0.5 feet per second or less. „■, For entrainment control, EPA proposes maintaining screen openings of 0.56 inches or less. 1.2 Non -Contact Cooling Water Discharge Permit The Siemens facility presently operates under the General Permit No. NCG500000 to "Discharge Non -Contact Cooling Water, Cooling Tower and Boiler Blowdown, Condensate, Exempt Stormwater, Cooling Waters Associated with Hydroelectric Operations, and Similar Wastewater Under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. " The specific permit number is NCG500175, issued 8/1/2012 and scheduled to expire 7/31/2015. According to NCDENR web page for Wastewater NPDES permits the renewal application is due by February 1, 2015. The previous renewal application form identified three discharge points for the non -contact cooling water; OF-001, OF-002 and OF-003. - 1 - Ift Siemens Energy Inc., Charbtte Turbine Generator Service Center S&ME Project No. 7235-14-050 CWIS and Non -Contact Cooling Water NPDES Permits January 2015 2.0 EXISTING CERTIFICATE OF COVERAGE The Existing Certificate of Coverage (CoQ was issued under permit number NCG500175.

According to Duke Energy's web pager, the lake's dam, first created in 1904 near Fort Mill, South Carolina, was rebuilt in 1924 and the lake's surface expanded to approximately 13,443 acres and 325 miles of shoreline. In addition to CA supporting Wylie Hydroelectric Station, Lake Wylie also supports Allen Steam Station and Catawba Nuclear Station with cooling water and provides water supply for Belmont and Rock Hill. Full pond elevation at Lake Wylie is approximately 569.4 feet. Full pond is the 0k, level of the reservoir that corresponds to the point at which water would first begin to spill from the reservoir's dam; the crest of the spillway. The Annual Normal Operating Range for the lake in 2014 has a minimum elevation of 563.4 and a maximum of 569.4. The MR average water level for Lake Wylie, based on daily readings over the last 12 months, was 567.0. Water temperatures in the lake at the Cooling Water Intake Structure vary seasonally as shown in the chart below for 2014.

The bottom floor level is located at elevation 545.0 (see Figure 3) or 22.0 feet below the average water level of Lake Wylie in 2014. r 3.2.2 Traveling Screens The intake structure is fitted with two Link -Belt Model 45A traveling screens to remove debris from the lake water. They are each 4 feet wide and 40 feet high (see Photo 3 for a ., view of the tops of traveling screens and design drawing in Figure 3), and have screen mesh openings of approximately %: inch (Photo 4). The traveling screens have two spray pumps, (P-5 and P-6 on Figure 3 and see Photo 3) for back washing the screens to remove debris. The debris is washed into a concrete trough to exit the pump house building and spill back into the cove (Photo 5). 5- r • Siemens Energy Inc., Charlotte Turbine Generator Service Center SBME Project No. 7235-14-050 ^ CWIS and Non Contact Cooling Water NPDES Permits January 2015 ^ Presently, only one of the two screens (the nearer screen shown in Photo 3) is routinely operated and for only 1.0 hour per day, typically at 10:30 a.m. .. 3.2.3 Cooling Water Pumps The drawings (Figure 3) show four pumps (see Photo 2) as summarized in the Table 1.

Originally, Siemens tested their turbines with steam. Now they test the turbines using a vacuum system. As a consequence, the amount of water withdrawal required was significantly reduced. Pump 3 was taken out of commission and removed from the pump .. house. 3.3 Source Water Baseline Biological Characterization Data 40 CFR 122.21(r) (4) specifies the following information: A description of the biological community in the vicinity of the cooling water intake structure. Lake Wylie is the third largest reservoir in the Catawba-Wateree system and is located southwest of Charlotte in Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties, North Carolina and York .. County, South Carolinaz. A review of rare, threatened, and endangered species known to occur within the three ., surrounding counties of Lake Wylie (Gaston, Mecklenburg and York), revealed two vertebrate species; the American eel (Anguilla rostrata) and Carolina darter (Etheostoma collis collis). Both species are listed as federal species of concern (FSC). FSC is an informal term. It is not defined in the federal Endangered Species Act. In North Carolina, the Asheville and Raleigh Field Offices of the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) define Federal Species of Concern as those species that appear to be in decline or otherwise .. in need of conservation and are under consideration for listing or for which there is insufficient information to support listing at this time. Subsumed under the term "FSC" are all species petitioned by outside parties and other selected focal species identified in Service .. strategic plans, State Wildlife Action Plans, or Natural Heritage Program Lists 3. The Carolina Darter inhabits small- to moderate -sized streams in areas of low current 2 http:// http://www.duke-energy.com/shoreline-management/catawba-wateree/lake-wylie.asp 3 http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntvlist/mecklenburg.html on Gl Siemens Energy Inc., Charlotte Turbine Generator Service Center S&ME Project No. 7235-14-050 ^ CWIS and Non -Contact Cooling Water NPDES Permits January 2015 velocity. Habitat substrates preferred by this species are usually characterized by mud, .. sand, and sometimes bedrock. This darter seems to be tolerant of fine sediments covering the substrate it inhabits. The Carolina Darter exists only in the Piedmont region from south- central Virginia through North Carolina into north -central South Carolina. The range in ., South Carolina is restricted to the Santee River Basin4. The American eel is a catadromous species that spawns in the Atlantic Ocean. This species .. is more common near the sea rather than inland streams and lakes. The American eel lives in freshwater as adults, usually in larger rivers or lakes, primarily swimming near the bottom in search of food. The species prefers to hunt at night and resides in crevices or ,., other shelter from the light during the day, often times burying themselves in the substrate, whether mud, sand or gravels. am A list of common sports fish that inhabit Lake Wylie can be obtained by visiting the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources website6. A request for additional wildlife, fish and habitat information collected by Duke Energy was requested on January 9, 2015. A ,N response from Duke Energy was received on January 16, 2015 that the Water Resources group within Duke Energy would be able to provide additional information. However, as of this date, the additional data has not been received. .. 3.4 Cooling Water System Data 40 CFR 122.21(r) (5) specifies the following information: OR The operation of the cooling water system including descriptions of reductions in water withdrawals, recycled water, proportion of the source water body withdrawn. .R The Non -Contact Cooling Water is screened and pumped from the Pump House to the Powerhouse and passes through the condensers of Chiller #2 and #3, then discharges to the Spray Pond. Pumping records for cooling water withdrawal and return to Lake Wylie for 2013 is summarized in Table 2.

However, �► the receiving water temperature in no case should exceed 32°C at the downstream monitoring location for lower piedmont waters. Since no chlorine is present in the discharge, TRC monitoring is not required. Oil and Grease monitoring is not required because the cooling water does not contain any air compressor condensate. Likewise, no water treatment or chemical additives are added so the COD monitoring is not required. Monitoring requirements for the Non -Contact Water Discharge permit consists of Flow, Temperature, and pH. r■a 4.2 Sampling Locations Figure 1 shows the seven cooling water sampling locations. The water is sampled at the pump house (1) when taken from Lake Wylie [Photo 1]. After it is used for cooling in the plant, it is sampled just before discharging into the Spray Pond (2) [Photo 6]. As the water flows from the Spray Pond principal spillway conduit (3) [Photo9] it is sampled before entering the surface stream which flows back to Lake Wylie. When the water re-enters Lake Wylie it is sampled at the dock at Cove Center (4) [Photo 10].

POIig SOURCE BRANCH Westinghouse Electric Corporation submitted an October 15, 1997 letter (see attached) that described a planned corporate restructuring that was to involve separation of its industrial operations from its media -related operations. This letter serves as notification that the separation will not be occurring. However, Westinghouse has instituted a name change that became effective December 1, 1997. The Westinghouse Electric Corporation has formally changed its name to `CBS Corporation'. CBS Corporation has retained Westinghouse's 1872 Pennsylvania charter of incorporation. Also, please be advised that CBS Corporation will be divesting the Westinghouse Power Generation business unit, the operator of the subject facility, in 1998. The new owner of Power Generation will be Siemens AG. Prior to the transfer of ownership to Siemens, the Power Generation business unit will continue to be operated under the Westinghouse name as a `Discontinued Operation' of CBS Corporation. There will be no immediate change in the day-to-day operation of the facility and the referenced certificate will be held by CBS Corporation doing business as Westinghouse Electric Corporation. In a subsequent letter we will inform you of the completion of the divestiture to Siemens and request a transfer of the referenced certificate. In the interim, if you have any questions or require additional information, please call Mr. Thomas Tuori at (412) 642-5855.

At that time, Westinghouse will effect a series of asset and stock transfers and liability assumptions among itself and its subsidiaries. The separation will have no effect on the day -today operations at the subject facility. Ile new industrial company will be named Westinghouse Electric Corporation, a 1997 Pennsylvania corporation with Federal Taxpayer ID number 23- 2914866. The media company will be named CBS Corporation, an 1872 Pennsylvania corporation with Federal Taxpayer ID number 25-0877540. The subject certificate of coverage will be held by the new industrial company, Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Please accept this letter as notification of the above mentioned separation and as our application to transfer the certificate of coverage. We will assume that the transfer will be effectuated as of the separation date unless otherwise advised. We will let you know, through a subsequent letter, of the effective date when the industrial operations are separated from the media -related businesses. In the interim, if you have any questions or require additional information, please call Mr. Thomas Tuori at (412) 642-5855. Very truly yours, • Samuel R. Pitts Vice President, Law, Environmental Affairs and Insurance August 13, 1997 MEMORANDUM To: Bradley Bennett Stormwater & General Permits Unit From: Charles H. Weaver N PD ES Unit Subject: General Permit status NCG500175 -Westinghouse Mecklenburg County Bradley, Westinghouse submitted a very detailed renewal application as well as a letter asking for future consideration from the Division in regard to this discharge. The collection pond for the non -contact cooling water at this facility has stormwater discharges emptying into it. Westinghouse is understandably concerned that pollutants which might enter the pond via the stormwater outfalls could cause the discharge to violate the effluent limits in General Permit NCG500000. I sent the permit renewal out and spoke with Robert Carpenter (the facility contact). I told him a response letter addressing his concerns would be forwarded by the Division after the reorganization had been completed. Dave and I talked this one over and we agreed that your Unit would be better equipped to respond to the stormwater concerns. I've attached the cover letter from the renewal application to this memo. The rest of the application fills 3 file folders - it's in my office with the rest of the NCG500 tiles. Have a look at this and proceed as you see fit. Thanks for your help with this. If you have any questions, talk with me (or Dave). Siate of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality James B.

MS 2000 - Location of offsite discharge w/reference to (W) Spray Pond Dear Ms. Sullins: Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Charlotte Turbine/Generator Plant, hereby requests renewal of its existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit to discharge its non -contact cooling water to the receiving waters of Lake Wylie, of the Catawba River Basin. Enclosed is the permit application completed and signed by an authorized officer of the corporation along with our corporate draft in the amount of four hundred dollars ($400.00) the required processing fee. 0 Page 2 Ms. Sullins January 20, 1997 As outlined in our current permit, the effluent waters discharged by Westinghouse to lake Wylie are exclusively non -contact cooling and receive no chemical treatment, therefore, as instructed by your office, Westinghouse is exempted from the priority pollutant analysis as part of this permit renewal application. Westinghouse had previously notified your office that additional discharges not emanating from or controlled by the Westinghouse Turbine Generator Plant appeared to be entering the Westinghouse spray pond upstream of outfall 001. Drawing MS 2000 indicates the locations of these discharges in relation to the Westinghouse spray pond. Earlier communications with your office, we pointed out that these other discharge sources may have the potential to influence Westinghouse's permitted outfall 001. The discharges appear to be from storm water runoff from new construction and industrial activities in the area. We understand that your office has issued permits for these discharges, with outfalls into the Westinghouse spray pond. As part of our Renewal Application, Westinghouse below outlines its concern regarding 1 the additional discharges entering our spray pond from off -site sources. =>> As our permit indicated, the Westinghouse discharge to the spray pond, consisting of only non -contact cooling water, has not been problematic and Westinghouse has at its own expense sampled the non -Westinghouse discharges at their point of entry into the spray pond. These analyses of the Westinghouse outfall confirm that, consistent with results of present and past sampling, Westinghouse's discharges conform to regulatory requirements. Obviously, we are concerned that this situation may change over time, as the new discharges over which we have no control continue into our pond. Although these discharges may not present a problem now, at some point these may negatively impact the water at outfall 001, which to this point has consistently tested to be well within applicable standards. Westinghouse does not believe it should be responsible for such a situation. Westinghouse thus requests some reassurance from your office, which we understand has issued permits for these new discharges, that we will not be prejudiced under our renewed permit because of these sources, and the potential that these sources may contain regulated pollutants which Westinghouse does not discharge. Westinghouse should not Page 3 Ms. Sullins January 20, 1997 be held responsible for, not should it be penalized, if, for example, additional testing or monitoring is required because of these new discharges or if the new discharges cause exceedance of Westinghouse's permit. Please make note that Mr. George Dann is no longer the plant manager for the Charlotte Plant. Mr. Anthony R. Giof xedi has now assumed the position of plant manager. Please direct all future correspondence to either his attention, or to Mr. Robert Carpenter, Facility contact. We request that your renewal of our permit reflect these considerations. If you require additional information or have questions or comments concerning this application.
