Permit Number NCS000581
Person County
Dear Mr. Draovitch:
In response to your application for coverage under NPDES stormwater permit NCS000580, the
Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (Division or DEMLR) is 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
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes the following changes from the draft permit posted on our website on
august 31, 2016:
Thank you for your comments submitted on October 31, 2016. Please see our responses below:
1. Duke Energy requested that permit reference Duke Energy Progress, LLC rather than Duke
Energy Progress, Inc. This change has been made in the final permit.
2. Duke Energy requested that certain monitoring parameters be removed for the two outfalls
because the drainage areas do not contain electrical equipment or oil storage. Based on
information contained in the permit application describing potential pollutants in the
drainage basins, results of submitted monitoring data and consistency with previously
issued permits and potential parameters of concern we have maintained most of the
parameters in the final permits. The final version has removed PCB monitoring since there
does not appear to be past exposure to equipment or storage that would lead to this
parameter being included.
3. Duke Energy requested that the monitoring dates in the permit tables be updated to reflect
the effective date of the permit. Since the permits are issued for a five-year cycle, the dates
have been modified to be in line with the final effective date of the permits.
4. Duke Energy noted incorrect reference to the Catawba River Basin. As noted above, these
changes have been made in the final permit.
