Box 1006 Charlotte, NC 28201-1006 Duke Energy hereby formally submits the attached characterization of ash basin free water and ash basin interstitial water for the subject facility. These results were previously submitted to your staff via email on May 8, 2015. As discussed in various recent meetings between Duke and DENR staff, while there are no current plans or commitments to dewater the ash basins at the subject facility, Duke request that language be included in our re -issued NPDES permit to accommodate that activity if it an activity the company decides to undertake within the term of the re -issued permit. As discussed in the meetings, "dewatering" in the NPDES permits refers to the removal of interstitial water from the ash basin(s). The attached table provides results of chemical analysis of both ash basin free water and ash basin interstitial water. The ash basin free water samples were taken at different depths in the ash basin. The ash basin interstitial water samples results are presented 1.) without additional treatment and 2.) after additional treatment with three different size filters. The following definitions may be useful as you consider these activities: Ash basin free water: Water in an ash basin located above the settled layer of ash. Ash basin free water has undergone treatment in the ash basin, has the same general characteristics as water routinely discharged from the facility in accordance with the existing NPDES permit, is largely devoid of Total Suspended Solids and is expected to meet all applicable NPDES permit limits. Ash basin interstitial water: Water in an ash basin that is located within the pore space of accumulated wastewater sludge or slurry. Ash basin interstitial water must be removed from an ash basin by some means such as trenching, well points, etc. and may require additional treatment before being released to the environment. If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Shannon Langley at (919) 546-2439 or shannon.langley@duke-energy.com. I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete.

Sideris Senior Vice President Environmental, Health & Safety 526 South Church Street Mail Code ECUP Charlotte, NC 28202 (704)382-4303 RECEIVED/DENR/DWR Subject: Comments on the draft NPDES Permit for Marshall Steam Station Permit No.: NC0004987 Attention Wastewater Permitting: MAY -7 2015 Water Quality Permittinq Sectior, The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Resources (the Division) issued a draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for the Duke Energy Marshall Steam Station on March 6, 2015. Duke Energy Carolinas LLC (Duke Energy) commends NCDENR for developing the draft permit and recognizing the existing discharges from the facility's outfalls will not cause contravention of the state water quality standards or EPA criteria. Duke Energy continues to work as quickly as possible to close the ash basins and finalizing this wastewater permit is a critical step to advance the ash basin closure process. In order to facilitate the closure process, Duke Energy needs permit conditions that are reasonable while ensuring the discharges will not adversely affect water quality. Duke Energy, therefore, respectfully submits the following comments on the draft permit. Comments on the Development of the Technolo Ey Based Effluent Limits TBELs The permit establishes technology based effluent limits (TBELs) for arsenic, selenium and nitrate/nitrite as N on internal Outfall 004 (FGD wet scrubber wastewater to the ash settling basin), and Outfall 010 (combined seep outfall). The TBELs for arsenic and selenium were based on an evaluation of the effluent data from the ash basin discharges from Belews Creek, Allen and Marshall Steam Stations. The limits for nitrate/nitrite as N were based on the proposed EPA Steam Electric Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG) because the Division did not have any long-term nitrate/nitrite data. The NPDES regulations at 40 CFR §125.3(c)(2) require permit writers developing TBELs to consider the following: Page 12 • The appropriate technology for the category class of point sources of which the applicant is a member, based on all available information. • Any unique factors relating to the applicant. The regulations also require that, in setting TBELs, the permit writer consider several specific factors established in §125.3(d), to select a model treatment technology and derive effluent limitations on the basis of that treatment technology. That process and the factors considered by the permit writer are the same factors required to be considered by EPA in developing effluent guidelines. For establishing best available technology (BAT) requirements for toxic and non -conventional pollutants, the following factors must be considered: — The age of equipment and facilities involved, — Process employed, — Engineering aspects of the application of various types of control techniques, — Process changes, — The cost of achieving such effluent reductions, and — Non -water quality environmental impacts (including energy requirements). Based on the information published by the Division, there was no indication that any of these factors were considered in establishing the TBELs. Furthermore, the Fact Sheet states "The existing federal regulations require the development of Technology Based Effluent Limits (TBELs) for the parameters of concern." In Duke Energy' opinion, however, the permit writer has the discretion to choose whether or not to impose BPJ limits. This opinion is supported by a recent court ruling in Tennessee. The state court affirmed a 2013 decision of the Tennessee Board of Water quality, Oil, and Gas (the Board) holding that TVA's Bull Run Fossil Plant is not required to have "BPJ" permit limits beyond what the 1982 Effluent Limitations Guidelines require. The Board ruled against claims that more permit limits were required. The Board stated the permit complies with the 1982 ELG rules, and "[b]ecause the 1982 ELG for power plants governs, a Best Professional Judgment (BPJ) analysis was not required." The Board further stated, when EPA set the 1982 rules, EPA considered setting numeric limits for metals but decided not to because they were "present in amounts too small to be effectively reduced" 1. In addition, it is stated in EPA's NPDES Permitting Manual (September 2010), regarding situations in which case-by-case TBELs are necessary, "The permit writer should make sure that the pollutant of concern is not already controlled by the effluent guidelines and was not considered by EPA when the 1 In the Matter of Tennessee Clean Water Network v. Tennessee Dept. of Environment and Conservation, Case No. WPC10-0116 (Tenn. Dept. of Env. and Conservation Dec. 17, 2013). Page 13 Agency developed the effluent guidelines."' Since EPA considered setting numeric limits for metals, the Division is not obligated to establish TBELs for these parameters. The Division's decision to propose TBELs on FGD wastewater, and seeps appears to be dictated by a memorandum from James A. Hanlon to EPA Water Division Directors for its Regions: Memorandum, James A. Hanlon to Water Division Directors, Regions 1-10, "National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permitting of Wastewater Discharges from Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) and Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Impoundments at Steam Electric Power Plants" (June 7, 2010). It is important to note the Hanlon memorandum is guidance and not legally binding, as stated in Section VI of the memo. Furthermore, the guidance does recommend establishing TBELs for FGD wastewater; however, the guidance recommends establishing water quality based effluent limits (WQBELs), not TBELs, for coal combustion leachate (i.e. ash basin seeps)z. Mercury Limits at Outfall 002 and Outfall 010 The permit imposes TBELs for mercury at the combined Outfall 010 (combined ash basin seeps), and Outfall 002 (ash basin discharges). These limits are based on the statewide mercury total maximum daily load (TMDL). Recommended Chan,oes 1. Duke Energy requests a 5 -year compliance schedule to comply with the mercury limit. With the limits being newly proposed, a compliance schedule should be included to allow for the design, evaluation, budget, and construction of a treatment system to meet the limits. Outfall 004 treated FDG wet scrubber wastewater to ash settling basin As stated above, the permit establishes TBELs for arsenic, selenium, and nitrate/nitrite as N on the internal Outfall 004 (treated FDG wet scrubber wastewater to ash settling basin). If the Division has determined the FGD wastewater treatment systems at Belews Creek and Allen Steam Station represent BAT for FGD wastewater, the limits should be based on the 95th and 991h percentiles of the effluent data collected from the internal outfalls at Belews Creek (Outfall 002) and Allen (Outfall 005) Steam Stations. For example, this analysis would yield the following TBELs for selenium3. Parameter ,T 95th percentile 99th percentile Selenium ((µg/L)� 23 _ 99 1 Refer to EPA's NPDES Permit Writers' Manual, September 2010, Section 5.2.3.2 "Identifying the Need for Case - by -Case TBELs" p. 5-45 — 46. 2 Refer to Attachment B, "Water Quality -Based Effluent Limits Coal Combustion Waste Impoundments", of the James Hanlon memorandum, June 7, 2010. 3 The 95th and 99th percentiles were calculated from effluent data collected from the internal FGD outfall at Belews Creek (Outfall 002) and Allen (Outfall 004) from April 2010 to March 2015. Page 14 If this analysis resulted in a limitation less than 10 gg/L, the ability of the analytical method would need to be evaluated to determine whether commercial laboratories could consistently detect the parameter at or below the permit limit. Due to the lack of long-term data, the Division based the nitrate/nitrite limits on the proposed ELG rule. It should be noted, however, the nitrate/nitrite limits proposed in the ELG were only based on 10 observations (5 observations from both Belews Creek and Allen Steam Stations)-. These observations were based on samples collected between June 2010 and January 2011 from the effluent immediately following the FGD wastewater treatment systems. EPA, therefore, did not even have sufficient long- term data to develop the limits for nitrate/nitrite in the proposed ELG rule. In addition, the removal of nitrates/nitrites is only a co -benefit of the removal of selenium in the anaerobic biological reactor and appears to only have been included in the proposed ELG rule to favor anaerobic biological treatment over other selenium removal treatment technologies. In fact, EPA did not derive limits for nitrates/nitrites for the other considered model technologies for the treatment of FGD wastewater, such as chemical precipitation or vapor -compression evaporation. These issues were the subject of numerous comments on the nitrate/nitrite limits in the proposed ELG rule, in addition to the following: — Analytical detection method: The method detection limit for nitrates/nitrites can be affected by chlorides in the wastewater. This was not considered in the proposed ELG rule. — Changes in the ORP can affect the ability of the treatment system to remove nitrate/nitrite. — The analysis for the ELG rule did not consider removals for stations that have higher selenium and nitrogen levels than Belews Creek and Allen. The treatment systems at Belews Creek and Allen target selenium removal but not nitrogen removal, and both plants have low selenium and nitrate/nitrite levels in their influent compared to the industry. In addition, the arsenic and selenium limits are listed incorrectly for Outfall 004. Based on the Fact Sheet, the limits should be listed as: Monthly Average Daily Maximum Selenium: 13.6 gg/L 25.5 4g/L Arsenic: 10.5 gg/L 14.5 gg/L Recommended Chane. es 2. Duke Energy requests the removal of TBELs from Outfall 004. EPA is under a court -order to finalize the ELG rule by September 30, 2015. The final ELG rule is expected to impose limits on - Observations at Allen included the average of four 24-hour composite samples collected from 8/3/10-8/6/10, and four 24 -hr composite samples collected on 10/5/10, 11/1/10, 12/6/10 and 1/12/11. Observations at Belews Creek included the average of four 24-hour composite samples collected from 6/8/10 — 6/11/10, and four 24 -hr composite samples collected on 10/6/10, 11/3/10, 12/8/10 and 1/17/11. Page I5 the internal outfall of the discharge of FGD wastewater; however, EPA proposed three treatment options for FGD wastewater with each option imposing different limitations. Given the difficulty, cost and time in developing TBELs on a case-by-case basis in accordance with 40 CFR 125.3(d), it would be reasonable to remove the TBELs and incorporate the limitations and the implementation schedule established under the final ELG rule. This would avoid any issues with anti -backsliding and conflicts with North Carolina General Statute § 15013-19.3. 3. If the Division is bound to impose TBELs for this permit issuance, Duke Energy requests the inclusion of language in the permit allowing the TBELs to be revised, if less stringent limits are imposed in the final ELG rule. This is especially prudent given the issues associated with the development of the TBELs noted above (i.e. lack of adherence to 40 CFR 125.3(d)). The receiving water body, Lake Norman, is in attainment for all parameters limited in the permit and the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) concluded the discharges will not cause contravention of the state water quality standards or EPA criteria; therefore, revising these limits to match the final ELG rule will not impair the water quality or the designated use of the water body. To accomplish this, Duke Energy recommends making the effective date of the TBELs to coincide with the effective date of the final ELG rule with compliance required 4.5 years from the effective date. It is anticipated the ELG rule will be effective in 1" quarter 2016. In addition, Duke Energy requests an Outfall 004 (post-ELG rule) be created to serve as a "placeholder" to incorporate the limitations in the final ELG rule into the permit. 4. If the TBELs are applied, Duke Energy requests the specific model technology used to derive the TBELs that were applied to Outfall 004. In the event the model technology is installed and the limits imposed are not achieved, Duke Energy would like to have the option of requesting a less stringent limit as allowed under the Clean Water Act §402(o)2(E). If the Division has determined the FGD wastewaters treatment systems at Belews Creek and Allen Steam Stations represents BAT, the limits should be based on the 95th and 99th percentiles of the effluent data from the internal FGD wastewater outfalls at Allen and Belews Creek Steam Stations. If this analysis resulted in a limitation less than 10 µg/L, the ability of the analytical method would need to be evaluated to determine whether commercial laboratories could consistently detect the parameter at or below the permit limit. Outfall 010 combined seen Comments on the 12roposed limits for Arsenic Selenium and Nitrate Z Nitrite as N Similar to Outfall 004, the permit establishes TBELs for arsenic, selenium, and nitrate/nitrite as N on Outfall 010 (combined seep outfall). Again, the arsenic and selenium TBELs were based on an evaluation of the effluent data from the ash basin discharges from Belews Creek, Allen and Marshall Steam Stations and the limits for nitrate/nitrite as N were based on the proposed ELG rule. Page 16 The proposed ELG rule classifies seeps from the ash basin as combustion residual leachate, specifically impoundment leachate'. Under all the preferred options presented in the ELG rule, combustion residual leachate would only be limited by total suspended solids (TSS) and oil and grease (0&G). In fact, EPA did not even identify nitrate/nitrite or selenium as pollutants of concern for impoundment leachate in their analysis for the proposed ELG rule'. Furthermore, the Hanlon memo describes a reasonable potential approach for establishing limits for seeps based on water quality, not technology. The nitrate/nitrite limits proposed in the ELG rule were based on data collected immediately following the FGD wastewater treatment systems at Belews Creek and Allen Steam Stations and were not associated with the ash basin discharge or ash basin seeps. The FGD treatment systems at Belews Creek and Allen require denitrification, in order to remove selenium from the FGD wastewater stream. There are, however, additional sources of nitrate/nitrite into the ash basin and potentially into the seeps that are unrelated to the FGD wastewater discharge, such as: — Goose droppings, — Algae blooms due to nutrient inputs from stormwater runoff, and — Input of sanitary waste treatment systems to the ash basin. In addition, the nitrate/nitrite limits established for Outfalls 010 is extremely low and unnecessary. The EPA 2013 Proposed Reissuance of the NPDES Multi -Sector General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity proposed a benchmark for nitrate/nitrate of 0.68 mg/L, which is 5 times the monthly average limit in the draft permit. Comments on the Implementation The permit needs to state the methodology to calculate the concentration for the combined seeps to be reported in the discharge monitoring reports (DMR). A flow -weighted average concentration is the most appropriate methodology. This methodology is represented by the following formula. 1 Refer to Fed. Reg. / Vol. 78, No. 110 / Friday, June 7, 2013 / p. 34533 §423.11(r) "The term combustion residual leachate means leachate from landfills or surface impoundments containing residuals from the combustion of fossil or fossil -derived fuel. Leachate includes liquid, including any suspended or dissolved constituents in the liquid, that has percolated through or drained from waste or other materials placed in a landfill, or that pass through the containment structure (e.g., bottom, dikes, berms) of a surface impoundment. Leachate also includes the terms seepage, leak, and leakage, which are generally used in reference to leachate from an impoundment." 2 Refer to Section 6.7.3 of the Technical Development Document for the Proposed Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category, April 2013. Nitrites/nitrates as N were not listed as a pollutant of concern for landfill leachate or impoundment leachate. Selenium was listed as a pollutant of concern for landfill leachate but not impoundment leachate. Page 17 Where, C _ En(Ci X Qi) Zn Qi C = Flow -weighted average concentration of combined seeps. n = Number of seeps sampled. Ci = Concentration of the parameter for each seep in micrograms per liter. Qi = Flow of each seep in liters. Recommended Changes 5. Appendix A of the draft permit proposes that 2 identified seep locations be classified collectively and permitted as Outfall 010 (combined seep outfall). Duke Energy will be further classifying seeps into non -engineered seeps at locations where the seepage emerges from natural or residual material and engineered seeps. Duke Energy requests the seeps listed and updated in the Discharge Identification Plan (DIP) referenced in Appendix B be used as the official seep identification with regards to official location and type (non -engineered seeps and engineered seeps, i.e. toe drains). It would be anticipated that the seepage flows and water quality would be inherently different at these two types of features. Duke Energy, therefore, believes it is appropriate that the seeps be grouped into two outfalls: one for engineered seeps and one for non -engineered seeps. The same permit limits and conditions applied to Outfall 010 should be applied to engineered seeps. 6. Duke Energy requests the removal of the TBELs from Outfall 010 due to the fact the TBELs were not developed in accordance with 40 CFR 125.3(d), the proposed ELG rule did not include limits on arsenic, selenium, or nitrate/nitrate and insufficient data exists to develop TBELs. The data used to derive the limits were based on other waste streams not specific to ash basin seeps; therefore, the limits are not technically justified. Furthermore, the RPA was conducted at a flow rate of 263 times the measured flow rate of the seeps. This added conservatism ensures the ash basin seeps are not and will not adversely affect water quality. Additionally, the Division assumed the seeps reach the surface water; however, to be considered a point source discharge, the Clean Water Act requires a discernible, confined and discrete conveyance, in which pollutants are discharged to navigable waters. The TBELs, therefore, should be removed from the permit and doing so will not adversely affect water quality. 7. In lieu of TBELs, Duke Energy requests the Division to adopt a similar process as with new seep identification to evaluate the constituent concentration and flow. If the concentration of any parameter exceeds the concentrations in Table 1 of the permit or the total flow of all seeps is determined to be in excess of 0.5 MGD, the Division should calculate reasonable potential to determine if water quality based effluent limits (WQBELs) are necessary. If so, a formal modification of the permit can be conducted to incorporate the WQBELs in the permit. This approach would be consistent with the Hanlon memo. Page 18 8. If the Division is bound to develop TBELs for seeps, Duke Energy requests a 5 -year compliance schedule. The permit states the limits can be met by installing a treatment system, re-routing the discharge to the existing treatment system, or discontinuing the discharge. The Fact Sheet, however, states it will be time-consuming and ineffective to re-route the seeps back to the ash basin. Given these conflicting statements, a compliance schedule is necessary to evaluate, budget, design and construct the treatment system or eliminate the discharge. 9. If the TBELs are imposed, Duke Energy requests the specific model technology used to derive the TBELs that were applied to Outfall 010 (combined seeps). In the event the model technology is installed and the limits imposed are not achieved, Duke Energy would like to have the option of requesting a less stringent limit as allowed under the Clean Water Act §402(o)2(E). 10. Duke Energy requests the inclusion of the methodology for determining the concentration to be reported in the DMR for Outfall 010. Duke Energy recommends the following approach. C _ Zn(Ci x Qi) Dn Qi Where, C = Flow -weighted average concentration of combined seeps. n = Number of seeps sampled. Ci = Concentration of the parameter for each seep in micrograms per liter. Qi = Flow of each seep in liters. Seep Poll utAqAnjhtsh The permit requires the facility to continue to implement the Plan for Identification of New Discharges to determine if new seeps have emerged. New seeps identified must have the flow calculated and sampled for parameters listed in the permit. Comments on the idents ication of new sees The permit does not clearly define a seep or how the seep should be identified. It should be recognized that a wet spot near the ash pond dike is not necessarily a seep from the ash basin and warrant the flow to be calculated and samples collected. Seeps can emerge due to several factors that are inconsequential to the ash basin, such as: — Natural springs, — Fluctuation in water level of the adjacent water body, — Naturally formed wetlands, Intermittent and ephemeral streams, and Page 19 — Stormwater drainage. Furthermore, a discernible, confined and discrete conveyance from the seep to waters of the state or U.S. should be present to classify the seep as a new discharge. Comments on the Table 1 Parameters The parameters listed in Table 1 of the permit include the daily maximum concentrations of the TBELs for arsenic, selenium and nitrate/nitrite as N as opposed to multiplying the highest baseline seep concentration by 10, as with the other parameters. As stated above, there is no technical justification for these concentrations to be used as screening values. This is especially true for the nitrate/nitrite screening value, which was based on the proposed ELG rule specific to FGD wastewater, not ash basin discharge or discharges from ash basin seeps. Comments on Notification The notification requirements for newly identified seeps are not clear in the permit. It is stated in the permit that newly identified seeps must be reported to the "Division of Water Resources within 5 days of detection (location only, sampling results shall be submitted within 30 days of sampling) for administrative inclusion in Appendix A." It is not clear whether the deadlines refer to calendar or business days. The wording regarding the reporting of the location only and sampling results should clearly indicate the deadlines. In addition, the permit is unclear on when samples must be collected from the newly identified seep. Recommended Chancres 11. Duke Energy requests the inclusion of clarifying language in the permit defining a seep that warrants further evaluation. Duke Energy requests the following clarifying language be included in the permit: "Seepage is considered to be the movement of wastewater from the ash basin through the ash basin embankment, the embankment foundation, the embankment abutments, through residual material in areas adjacent to the ash basin, or through the bottom of the ash basin. Therefore, a seep is defined in this permit as an expression of seepage at the ground surface above the ordinary high water mark of any waters of the state. Only seeps that have the presence of a discernible, confined and discrete conveyance to the surface water will be considered a new seep warranting further evaluation of flow and pollutant characterization." 12. Duke Energy requests the screening value of nitrate/nitrite removed from Table 1. There was no baseline data collected and the screening concentration imposed is based on samples collected from the discharge of FGD wastewater treatment systems, not ash basin discharge or ash basin Page 110 seeps. Furthermore, there are natural sources of nitrate/nitrite that are unrelated to the ash basin. Therefore, there is no technical justification for the inclusion of nitrate/nitrite as N in Table 1. 13. Duke Energy requests the screening values for arsenic and selenium be revised to be 10 times the baseline concentration as with the other parameters. Again, the screening values were based on the TBELs imposed on Outfall 004. These values, however, were not derived in accordance with 40 CFR 125.3(d) and were not based on data collected from ash basin seeps. 14. Duke Energy requests the inclusion of clarifying language on the notification requirements for newly identified seeps. The following language is recommended: "New seeps identified through the seep survey or otherwise discovered or reported to the permittee shall have their flow calculated, and be sampled for parameters indicated in Table 1. The location(s) of the seep shall be reported to Division of Water Resources within 5 business days. Samples of the seep shall be collected within 10 business days of identification and the sampling results shall be submitted within 30 days of sampling for administrative inclusion in Appendix A." Dewatering,, 15. Duke Energy requests inclusion of clarifying language in the permit authorizing the removal of free water above the settled ash layer including, but not limited to, decanting, controlled pumping and/or normal operation. It is Duke Energy's understanding, based on conversations with Division staff that the permit as drafted allows for the discharge of free water above the settled ash layer in the ash basin by removal of stop logs, sections of riser and/or controlled pumping through the permitted outfall flow path. As further discussed with Division staff, Duke Energy will submit interstitial data to request authorization to conduct interstitial dewatering activities. Interstitial water should be defined in the permit as entrapped water (i.e., water occupying the pore space within the ash and below the ash surface). Interstitial wastewater would be generated through mechanical movement of ash such as through dredging, and excavating trenches within the ash and discharge would generally occur by controlled pumping. Nonchemical Metal Cleanin Wastewater The permit defines chemical metal cleaning wastewater and metal cleaning wastewater, but does not define nonchemical metal cleaning wastewater. The permit only applies limits for chemical cleaning wastewater to Outfall 002 (ash basin discharge), but no limits are applied for metal cleaning wastewater or nonchemical metal cleaning wastewater. 16. Duke Energy requests the inclusion of language defining nonchemical metal cleaning wastewater as low volume wastewater and only subject to the low volume wastewater limits of Page Ill O&G and TSS. In the proposed ELG rule, EPA acknowledged the conflicting guidance given historically on nonchemical metal cleaning wastewater and proposed to exempt stations from the proposed revisions to the nonchemical metal cleaning limitation. Given the previous permits for Marshall only applied limits for chemical metal cleaning, Marshall should qualify for this exemption. Duke Energy welcomes any further discussion on our comments or the draft permit. If you have any questions, please contact Richard Baker at 704 382-7959 or at Richard.Baker@duke-energy.com.

Sideris Duke Energy Senior Vice President, Environmental, Health & Safety Alternate Schedule Request §316(b) of the Clean Water Act Marshall Steam Station Final regulations to establish requirements for cooling water intake structures at existing facilities were published in the Federal Register on August 15, 2014 (i.e. regulations implementing §316(b) of the Clean Water Act) with an effective date of October 14, 2014. Marshall Steam Station will be subject to the regulations. The design intake flow of the station is greater than 2 million gallons per day (MGD) and the historical actual intake flows are greater than 125 MGD; therefore, the following submittals are expected to be required: — §122.21(r)(2) Source Water Physical Data — §122.21(r)(3) Cooling Water Intake Structure Data — §122.21(r)(4) Source Water Baseline Biological Characterization Data — §122.21(r)(5) Cooling Water System Data — §122.21(r)(6) Chosen Method(s) of Compliance with Impingement Mortality Standard — §122.21(r)(7) Entrainment Performance Studies — §122.21(r)(8) Operational Status — §122.21(r)(9) Entrainment Characterization Study — §122.21(r)(10) Comprehensive Technical Feasibility and Cost Evaluation Study — §122.21(r)(11) Benefits Valuation Study — §122.21(r)(12) Non -water Quality and Other Environmental Impacts Study As allowed under §125.95(a)(2), Duke Energy would like to request an alternate schedule for the submittals listed above. Information requested in §122.21(r)(2), (3), and (5) were competed under the remanded rule; however, this information must be updated to reflect current operations and information requested in §122.21(r)(4) is substantially different from the remanded rule. Information requested in §122.21(r)(6) – r(12) are new provisions and these submittals must be developed. Duke Energy will need at least 60 months to prepare the necessary submittals. This timeframe includes complying with the peer review requirement for submittals §122.21(r)(10), §122.21(r)(11), and §122.21(r)(12). The rule requires the necessary submittals to be included with the permit renewal ap ,plication for_ permits with an effective date after July 14, 2018. Duke Energy, therefore, would like to request the 316(b) submittals, with the exception of §122.21(r)(6) Chosen Method(s) of Compliance with Impingement Mortality Standard, for Marshall Steam Station to be required with the subsequent permit renewal application due after July 14, 18. Since Marshall Steam Station is subject to the entrainment best technology available (BTA) determination, a compliance schedule to complete §122.21(rJ(6) Chosen Methods) of Compliance with Impingement Mortality Standard will be requested to be included in the permit upon issuance of the entrainment BTA determination.

The MSS National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (No. NC0004987 Section A 25) requires monitoring of trace elements (arsenic, selenium and mercury) in fish tissues near the discharge once per permit cycle. Fish were collected according to the submitted study plan (dated December 4, 2013). The resulting data are submitted in this report. 2.0 Study Site Description and Sampling Locations Fish were collected from three locations on Lake Norman (Figure 1). These locations were adjacent to the MSS discharge (DD, 6.3 kilometers upstream (UP) and 8.5 kilometers downstream of the discharge (DN). 3.0 Target Species The target species of fish were spotted bass and redear sunfish. As recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), an attempt was made to limit the smallest fish to 75% of the largest fish total length by species depending on availability (US EPA 2000). 4.0 Field Sampling Methods Fish were collected using electrofishing according to our Biology Program Procedures Manual (Procedure NR -00080, Rev. 1), which is approved by the NC Division of Water Resources under the Company's NC Biological Laboratory Certification (# 006), located at New Hill, NC. Only live fish that showed little or no signs of deterioration were retained for analysis. Retained fish were individually tagged (Floy tags), identified to species, measured for total length (mm), weight (g), placed on ice until frozen and transferred to a freezer within 24 hours of collection. Water quality data consisting of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, specific conductance and turbidity were recorded daily at the surface at each sampling location. Other noteworthy environmental conditions including river flow conditions and weather conditions were noted and are available upon request. 1 5.0 Laboratory Processing and Arsenic, Selenium and Mercury Analysis All fish samples were processed in the New Hill trace element laboratory according to procedure NR -00107 (Rev. 4) Trace Element Monitoring Laboratory Procedure. The processed samples (lyophilized left axial muscle; right muscle occasionally included when needed) were analyzed for arsenic, selenium and mercury by x-ray spectrophotometry. Quality control was achieved by analytical standards, replicates and certified reference materials. The remaining fish carcasses were archived and will be kept for at least two years in the event that re -analysis is needed. 6.0 Data Analysis and Reporting Arsenic, selenium and mercury concentrations (converted to µg/g fresh weight) in the fish muscle tissue collected during 2014 are shown in Table 1. In addition to the length and weight of each fish, the dry -to -fresh weight ratios are presented to convert the arsenic, selenium and mercury concentrations fresh weight values back to dry weight values as desired. All fish collected during 2014 were below the US EPA Screening Values for Recreational Fishermen of 1.2 gg/g (fresh weight) for arsenic (US EPA 2000). All fish collected during 2014 were below the NC human consumption advisory level of 10 µg/g (fresh weight) for selenium. All fish collected during 2014 had mercury concentrations below the NC Health Directors Action Advisory Level of 0.4 µg/g fresh weight (NCDHHS 2006). 7.0 References NCDHHS. 2006.

Introduction In -Stream Monitoring Requirement A requirement to semi-annually sample water quality at locations in Lake Norman upstream and downstream of the Marshall Steam Station (MSS) ash basin discharge was implemented in 2011 under section Part I # 26 (In -stream Monitoring) of the MSS National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. The following discussion describes the specific analyses, methods and analytical results of this monitoring program for the period 2011 — 2013. II. Sampling and Methodology Lake Norman Sampling Locations The water quality sampling locations associated with this monitoring plan are depicted in Figure 1. The upstream location (15.9) is approximately 2.5 miles upstream of where the MSS ash basin discharges into the MSS condenser cooling water (CCW) intake cove. The downstream location (14.0) is approximately 0.5 miles downstream of the MSS CCW discharge into Lake Norman. Sampling and Analytical Methods Grab samples collected from the surface (0.3 m) at both locations in Lake Norman were analyzed for the following parameters: arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), and total dissolved solids (TDS). Storage and preservation techniques of the samples after collection and prior to analyses were followed according to Appendix A. Methods of analysis and results for each parameter are presented in Table 1. Analyses were conducted by Duke Energy's Huntersville analytical laboratory (NC Wastewater Certification #248). III. Results & Recommendations All trace metal results were low, with most values either tabulated as less than the analytical reporting limit (RL) for the method or close to the RL (Table 1). For example, all samples for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury, lead and selenium were reported as less than the RL, whereas only four zinc values were greater than the RL of 1.0 Ng/L. All zinc values were below the water quality standard (50 Ng/L). Most of the copper values were above the RL, but only marginally so, and all values were also well below the water quality standard (7.0 pg/L). Total dissolved solids (TDS) values were low, and reflective of the low ionic strength and conductivity of waters in Lake Norman and the Catawba River Basin. All values for the nine water quality parameters monitored were below NC water quality standards. Duke Energy proposes that the in -stream monitoring frequency be reduced from semi-annually to annually. 1 +z4 n i O U O bA C �L O i O E a cr L 3 E �v v L O m Ln E a m tntn L i N Table 1.

'"P" is for polyethylene; "FP" is fluoropolymer (polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); Teflon®), or other fluoropolymer, unless stated otherwise in this Table ll; "G" is glass; "PA" is any plastic that is made of a sterilizable material (polypropylene or other autoclavable plastic); "LDPE" is low density polyethylene. 2Except where noted in this Table II and the method for the parameter, preserve each grab sample within 15 minutes of collection. For a composite sample collected with an automated sample (e.g., using a 24-hour composite sample; see 40 CFR 122.21(g)(7)(i) or 40 CFR Part 403, Appendix E), refrigerate the sample at <_6 °C during collection unless specked otherwise in this Table 11 or in the method(s). For a composite sample to be split into separate aliquots for preservation and/or analysis, maintain the sample at 56 °C, unless specified otherwise in this Table It or in the method(s), until collection, splitting, and preservation is completed. Add the preservative to the sample container prior to sample collection when the preservative will not compromise the integrity of a grab sample, a composite sample, or aliquot split from a composite sample within 15 minutes of collection. If a composite measurement is required but a composite sample would compromise sample integrity, individual grab samples must be collected at prescribed time intervals (e.g., 4 samples over the course of a day, at 6 -hour intervals). Grab samples must be analyzed separately and the concentrations averaged. Alternatively, grab samples may be collected in the field and composited in the laboratory if the compositing procedure produces results equivalent to results produced by arithmetic averaging of results of analysis of individual grab samples. For examples of laboratory compositing procedures, see EPA Method 1664 Rev. A (oil and grease) and the procedures at 40 CFR 141.34(f)(14)(iv) and (v) (volatile organics). 3When any sample is to be shipped by common carrier or sent via the U.S. Postal Service, it must comply with the Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR part 172). The person offering such material for transportation is responsible for ensuring such compliance. For the preservation requirement of Table II, the Office of Hazardous Materials, Materials Transportation Bureau, Department of Transportation has determined that the Hazardous Materials Regulations do not apply to the following materials: Hydrochloric acid (HCI) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.04% by weight or less (pH about 1.96 or greater; Nitric acid (HNO3) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.15% by weight or less (pH about 1.62 or greater); Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.35% by weight or less (pH about 1.15 or greater); and Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.080% by weight or less (pH about 12.30 or less). `Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after collection. The times listed are the maximum times that samples may be held before the start of analysis and still be considered valid. Samples may be held for longer periods only if the permittee or monitoring laboratory has data on file to show that, for the specific types of samples under study, the analytes are stable for the longer time, and has received a variance from the Regional Administrator under Sec. 136.3(e). For a grab sample, the holding time begins at the time of collection. For a composite sample collected with an automated sampler (e.g., using a 24-hour composite sampler; see 40 CFR 122.21(g)(7)(i) or 40 CFR part 403, Appendix E), the holding time begins at the time of the end of collection of the composite sample. For a set of grab samples composited in the field or laboratory, the holding time begins at the time of collection of the last grab sample in the set. Some samples may not be stable for the maximum time period given in the table. A permittee or monitoring laboratory is obligated to hold the sample for a shorter time if it knows that a shorter time is necessary to maintain sample stability. See 136.3(e) for details. The date and time of collection of an individual grab sample is the date and time at which the sample is collected. For a set of grab samples to be composited, and that are all collected on the same calendar date, the date of collection is the date on which the samples are collected. For a set of grab samples to be composited, and that are collected across two calendar dates, the date of collection is the dates of the two days; e.g., November 14-15. For a composite sample collected automatically on a given date, the date of collection is the date on which the sample is collected. For a composite sample collected automatically, and that is collected across two calendar dates, the date of collection is the dates of the two days; e.g., November 14-15. For static -renewal toxicity tests, each grab or composite sample may also be used to prepare test solutions for renewal at 24 h, 48 h, and/or 72 h after first use, if stored at 0-6 °C, with minimum head space. 5ASTM D7365 -09a specifies treatment options for samples containing oxidants (e.g., chlorine). Also, Section 9060A of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (20th and 21st editions) addresses dechlorination procedures. "Sampling, preservation and mitigating interferences in water samples for analysis of cyanide are described in ASTM D7365 - 09a. There may be interferences that are not mitigated by the analytical test methods or D7365 -09a. Any technique for removal or suppression of interference may be employed, provided the laboratory demonstrates that it more accurately measures cyanide through quality control measures described in the analytical test method. Any removal or suppression technique not described in D7365 -09a or the analytical test method must be documented along with supporting data. 7For dissolved metals, filter grab samples within 15 minutes of collection and before adding preservatives. For a composite sample collected with an automated sampler (e.g., using a 24-hour composite sampler; see 40 CFR 122.21(g)(7)(i) or 40 CFR Part 403, Appendix E), filter the sample within 15 minutes after completion of collection and before adding preservatives. If it is known or suspected that dissolved sample integrity will be compromised during collection of a composite sample collected automatically over time (e.g., by interchange of a metal between dissolved and suspended forms), collect and filter grab samples to be composited (footnote 2) in place of a composite sample collected automatically. "Guidance applies to samples to be analyzed by GC, LC, or GC/MS for specific compounds. "if the sample is not adjusted to pH 2, then the sample must be analyzed within seven days of sampling. 90The pH adjustment is not required if acrolein will not be measured. Samples for acrolein receiving no pH adjustment must be analyzed within 3 days of sampling. "When the extractable analytes of concern fall within a single chemical category, the specified preservative and maximum holding times should be observed for optimum safeguard of sample integrity (i.e., use all necessary preservatives and hold for the shortest time listed). When the analytes of concern fall within two or more chemical categories, the sample may be preserved by cooling to <-6 °C, reducing residual chlorine with 0.008% sodium thiosulfate, staring in the dark, and adjusting the pH to 6-9; samples preserved in this manner may be held for seven days before extraction and for forty days after extraction. Exceptions to this optional preservation and holding time procedure are noted in footnote 5 (regarding the requirement for thiosulfate reduction), and footnotes 12, 13 $regarding the analysis of benzidine). If 1,2-diphenylhydrazine Is likely to be present, adjust the pH of the sample to 4.0 f0,2 to prevent rearrangement to benzidine. „Extracts may be stored up to 30 days at <0 °C. "For the analysis of dlphenylnitrosamine, add 0.0080% Na2S2O3 and adjust pH to 7.10 with NaOH within 24 hours of sampling - "The pH adjustment may be performed upon receipt at the laboratory and may be omitted if the samples are extracted within 72 hours of collection. For the analysts of aldrin, add 0.008% Na2S2O3 15Place sufficient ice with the samples in the shipping container to ensure that ice is still present when the samples arrive at the laboratory. However, even if ice is present when the samples arrive, immediately measure the temperature of the samples and confirm that the preservation temperature maximum has not been exceeded. In the isolated cases where it can be documented that this holding temperature cannot be met. the permittee can be given the option of on-slte testing or can request a variance. The request for a variance should include supportive data which show that the toxicity of the effluent samples is not reduced because of the increased holding temperature. Aqueous samples must not be frozen. Hand -delivered samples used on the day of collection do not need to be cooled to 0 to 6 °C prior to test initiation. "Samples collected for the determination of trace level mercury (<100 ng/L) using EPA Method 1631 must be collected in tightly -capped fluoropolymer or glass bottles and preserved with BrCI or HCI solution within 48 hours of sample collection. The time to preservation may be extended to 28 days if a sample is oxidized in the sample bottle. A sample collected for dissolved trace level mercury should be filtered in the laboratory within 24 hours of the time of collection. However, if circumstances preclude overnight shipment, the sample should be filtered in a designated clean area in the field in accordance with procedures given in Method 1669. If sample integrity will not be maintained by shipment to and filtration in the laboratory, the sample must be filtered in a designated clean area in the field within the time period necessary to maintain sample integrity. A sample that has been collected for determination of total or dissolved trace level mercury must be analyzed within 90 days of sample collection. 18Aqueous samples must be preserved at :56 °C, and should not be frozen unless data demonstrating that sample does not adversely impact sample integrity is maintained on file and accepted as valid by the regulatory authority. Also, for purposes of NPDES monitoring, the specification of "5°C is used in place of the "4 °C' and "<4 °C" sample temperature requirements listed in some methods. It is not necessary to measure the sample temperature to three significant figures (1/100th of 1 degree); rather, three significant figures are specified so that rounding down to 6 °C may not be used to meet the :56 °C requirement. Them preservation temperature does not apply to samples that are analyzed immediately (less than 15 minutes). 19An aqueous sample may be collected and shipped without acid preservation. However, acid must be added at least 24 hours before analysis to dissolve any metals that adsorb to the container walls. If the sample must be analyzed within 24 hours of collection, add the acid immediately (see footnote 2). Soil and sediment samples do not need to be preserved with acid. The allowances in this footnote supersede the preservation and holding time requirements in the approved metals methods. 20To achieve the 28 -day holding time, use the ammonium sulfate buffer solution specified in EPA Method 218.6. The allowance in this footnote supersedes preservation and holding time requirements in the approved hexavalent chromium methods, unless this supersession would compromise the measurement, in which case requirements in the method must be followed. 21Holding time is calculated from time of sample collection to elution for samples shipped to the laboratory in bulk and calculated from the time of sample filtration to elution for samples filtered in the field. 22 Sample analysis should begin as soon as possible after receipt; sample incubation must be started no later than 8 hours from time of collection. 23 For fecal coliform samples for sewage sludge (biosolids) only, the holding time is extended to 24 hours for the following sample types using either EPA Method 1680 (LTB -EC) or 1681 (A-1): Class A composted, Class B aerobically digested, and Class B anaerobically digested. 24The immediate filtration requirement in orthophosphate measurement is to assess the dissolved or bio -available form of orthophosphorus (i.e., that which passes through a 0.45 -micron filter), hence the requirement to filter the sample immediately upon collection (i.e., within 15 minutes of collection).

The above referenced permit expires on April 30, 2015. As mandated by North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2 H.0105 (e), this permit application for renewal is being submitted at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the permit. Please find enclosed in triplicate, the renewal application, which includes the following items: EPA Form 1 Outfall Locations Map EPA Form 2C Water Flow Diagrams Supplemental Information Balanced and Indigenous Population Report (316 a) Alternative Schedule Request for 316 (b) Fish Tissue Monitoring Metals Sampling in the Vicinity of Ash Basins Ash Basin Capacity Information Seep Information Groundwater Information RECEIVED/DENR/DWR OCT 15 7.014 Water Uuality Permitting Section Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC requests notification that this application is complete. As required by Part A (15) of the current NPDES permit Duke Energy request that the 316 (a) thermal variance be continued through to the next permit. The attached Balanced and Indigenous Population Report (BIP) continues to indicate that Lake Norman supports a balanced and indigenous population of fish and macro -invertebrates. The BIP also satisfies the four questions required by the 1988 Kaplan Memo for renewal of the thermal variance. Therefore, Duke Energy believes the BIP supports the request for renewal of the thermal variance.

Mark "X" you in column 2-a for all such GC/MS fractions that apply to your industry and for ALL toxic metals, cyanides, and total phenols. If you are not required to mark column 2-a (secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and nonrequired GC/MS fractions), mark "X" in column 2-b for each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present. Mark "X" in column 2-c for each pollutant you believe is absent. If you mark column 2a for any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant. If mark column 2b for you any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant if you know or have reason to believe it will be discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater. If you mark column 2b for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2, 4 dinitrophenol, or 2 -methyl -4, 6 dinitrophenol, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for each of these pollutants which you know or have reason to believe that you discharge in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. Otherwise, for pollutants for which you mark column 2b, you must either submit at least one analysis or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Note that there are 7 pages to this part; please review each carefully. Complete one table (all 7 pages) for each outfall. See instructions for additional details and requirements. 1. POLLUTANT 2.

MSS consists of four coal-fired steam electric generating units. Units 1 and 2 can generate 380,000 kilowatts (net) of electricity each and units 3 and 4 have the capacity to generate 660,000 kilowatts (net) of electricity each. A brief discussion of the individual waste streams follows. 2.0 Outfall Information 2.1 Outfall 001 - Condenser Cooling Water (CCW) Units 1-4 The CCW system is a once through non -contact cooling water system, which condenses steam from the condensers and other selected heat exchangers. When MSS is operating at full power, it has a design capacity to pump 1463 MGD (1,016,000 GPM) of cooling water through a network of tubes that runs through the condenser and selected heat exchangers. The raw cooling water is returned to the lake. No biocides or other chemicals are used in the condenser cooling water. Units 1 and 2 have two CCW pumps per unit and Units 3 and 4 have three CCW pumps per unit with the following maximum flow capacities: Unit No. 1 -Pump 2 -Pump 3 -Pump GPM GPM GPM 1 126,000 190,000 - 2 126,000 190,000 - 3 150,000 253,000 318,000 4 150,000 253,000 318,000 The operational schedule for these pumps is dependent on the intake water temperature and on the unit loads. Depending on the electrical demand, pumps are operated to maximize MSS efficiency and to assure balanced and indigenous populations are maintained in Lake Norman. Each unit is on an independent system to avoid a system trip that would suddenly reduce the discharge flow at outfall 001. This practice leads to a higher reliability factor for the units and protection of aquatic life taking refuge in the discharge canal during cold weather. Flow recorded on the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports is based on CCW pump run times. The condensers are mechanically cleaned. Normally, amertap balls are cleaning the tubes on a continuous basis while the plant is operating. Periodically, after the condenser is drained, metal scrapers, plastic scrapers or rubber plugs are forced through the tubes to rid them of scale or other deposits. The condenser tubes may also be tested for leaks, as needed. A leak test can be conducted in approximately two to three hours per unit with usually no more than six injections of tracer gas (i.e., sulfur hexaflouride, helium, etc) each within approximately a 30 second period and/or checked with fluorescent dye. The dye is added to the condensate water and put on the outside of the condenser tubes. During the test, if fluorescent water does leak into the tubes, this discharge indicates a leak does exist in the condenser tubing. The levels of gas or dye that might be discharged would be well below any levels of aquatic biological toxicity concerns. If leaks are detected, then one method used to temporarily stop small leaks is to add sawdust to the CCW system, as previously approved by NCDENR. The sawdust is • added at amounts that will plug the leaks and not result in an environmental impact. This is a temporary measure until the unit can come off-line so the leaks can be permanently repaired. 2.1.1 Intake Screen Washing Manually by Removing Screens The intake screens (32 total) are washed on an as needed basis. Normally, the screens require washing once a month for a period of approximately 5 minutes per screen. The screens (10 ft x 20 ft) are stationary type and are removed for cleaning. A low-pressure pump supplies the raw water required for washing with a design capacity of 300 gpm. Therefore, the average flow of water used to backwash the screens is 0.002 MGD. Should it become necessary to backwash the screens on a continuous basis the maximum flow would be 0.43 MGD per screen. The debris collected on the screens consists of twigs, leaves, and other material indigenous to Lake Norman and is removed and properly disposed. The intake screen backwash water drains back to the station intake cove without any adverse environmental impact. 2.2 Outfall 002 - Ash Basin The ash basin at MSS accommodates flows from two yard -drain sumps, an ash removal system, low volume wastes and non -point source storm water. Low volume waste sources include, but are not limited to: wastewater from wet scrubber air pollution control systems, ion exchange water treatment system, water treatment evaporator blowdown, laboratory and sampling streams, boiler blowdown, floor drains, and recirculating house service water systems. Total average influent from these sources combined is approximately 8.3 MGD. At times, due to unit loads, rainfall, evaporation and seepage of ash basin ponds, the amount of effluent may be different than influent volumes. 2.2.1 Yard -Drain Sumps The yard -drain sumps are concrete structures having four level controlled pumps each that direct wastewater from the powerhouse area to the ash basin. These pumps are operated on a rotating basis. Usually two pumps are set so that one pump is primary and the other is backup. After a selected period the controls are changed so that different pumps are utilized. The yard -drain sumps collect wastewater from many sources, such as, the filtered water system, turbine and boiler room sumps, miscellaneous equipment cooling water, foundation drainage, low volume wastes, and tunnel unwatering. The yard -drain sumps also collect some storm water runoff from the coal pile, rail access, and powerhouse roofs and pavement. Ground water from a foundation drainage system under the track hopper is also intermittently discharged to the yard -drain sumps. The combined average flow from all sources tied to the yard -drain sumps is approximately 2.43 MGD, which is pumped to the ash basin for physical and biological treatment. 2.2.2 Turbine Room Sumps The turbine room sumps collect approximately 0.35 MGD of wastewater. This wastewater comes from non -contact cooling water (from Units 1 & 2 boiler feedpump turbine lube oil coolers) and floor drains. Floor drains contain boiler blowdown, leakage from seals, equipment cooling water, condensate from the feedwater system, low volume wastewater, boiler room sump overflow, emergency fire fighting water, general mechanical maintenance activities, miscellaneous plant wastes and area washdown water. 2.2.3 Boiler Room Sumps The average flow pumped from the boiler room sumps directly to the ash basin is approximately 1.55 MGD. The sources of input to the boiler room sumps include the following: 2.2.3.1 Water Treatment System The MSS make-up water treatment system is comprised of a clarifier, three gravity filters, two sets of activated carbon filters, a reverse osmosis system and two sets of demineralizers. The water treatment wastes consist of floc and sedimentation, filter backwash, reverse osmosis concentrate reject and cleaning wastes, and demineralizer regeneration wastes. Water processed through this system is supplied to the boilers to generate steam to turn the turbines. On occasion a vendor may be used with a mobile water treatment unit to augment the facility water treatment capacity. Any vendor will use traditional water treatment methods, chemicals, and disposal methods generally described below. This wastewater is drained to the boiler room sump, which ultimately discharges to the ash basin. Clarifier. The clarifier utilizes typical water treatment chemicals such as, Ferric sulfate (), sodium hydroxide, and calcium hypochlorite for the primary treatment of raw water. The sedimentation wastes collected in the clarifier consists of solids that were suspended in the service water plus Ferric precipitate formed as a result of adding Ferric sulfate () and sodium hydroxide. The quantity of Ferric Sulfate used per year is approximately 14,000 gallons. The total amount of caustic is roughly one quarter the amount of Ferric Sulfate The average volume of water required for desludging the clarifier is approximately 0.008 MGD. These sedimentation wastes along with dilute water treatment chemicals and by- products are piped to a floor drain which flows to the boiler room sumps where they are pumped to the ash basin via the yard -drain sump. Gravity Filters: There are three gravity filters composed of anthracite (coal) which follow the clarifier in the water treatment process. They are used for removal of colloidal material and are backwashed as necessary, dependent upon the level of solids in the water. Normally, one of these filters is backwashed each day. Approximately 0.007 MGD of backwash water is required for each filter. This flow is discharged to the floor drains to the boiler room sump, which pumps to the yard -drain sump. The gravity filter medium is changed out on an as -needed basis with the spent filter media being landfilled. Activated Carbon Filters: Two activated carbon filters remove organics and the chlorine that is injected into the clarifier. These filters are typically backwashed approximately once a week. The flow of water required to backwash one of these filters is 20,000 gallons per day. The wash water flows to the boiler room sump and is pumped to the yard - drain sump. Activated carbon is replaced on an as needed basis with the spent carbon sluiced to the ash basin. Reverse Osmosis System There is a two stage Reverse Osmosis (RO) system which processes approximately 535 gallons per minute of filtered water. Approximately 400 gpm of permeate water is produced and flows to the permeate water storage tank. Approximately 135 gpm of concentrate water is produced which flows to the boiler room sump and ultimately the ash basin via the yard drain sump. Water from the permeate tank is pumped to the demineralizers as supply water. The RO system is cleaned approximately twice per year using a dilute low pH cleaner (sulfonic acid/citric acid), biocide (Trisep Tristat 110), and a high pH cleaner (sodium hydroxide/sodium lauryl sulfate). Demineralizers: Demineralizers at MSS consist of two sets of mixed -bed cells which supply make-up water to the boilers and other closed systems. Normal plant operation requires that only one cell of each demineralizer set operate at any one time. Each cell has a capacity of 225 gpm. Each cell is regenerated approximately every four weeks. Each year MSS will use an estimated 8,000 gallons of 50% caustic and 2,500 gallons 93% sulfuric acid for demineralizer regenerations. The dilute acid and caustic are discharged from the cell simultaneously through the same header for neutralization purposes. The regeneration wastes flow to the boiler room sumps where it is pumped to the ash basin via the yard -drain sump. The useful life of the resin varies and when replaced spent resin is sluiced to the ash basin. 2.2.3.2 Miscellaneous Waste Streams • Closed system drainage, cleanings, testing containing corrosion inhibitors (Calgon CS), biocides (Calgon H-550 and H 7330), cleanings) (small heat exchangers), dispersant (polyacrylamide), wetting agent (sodium lauryl sulfate), detergent (tri -sodium phosphate), and leak testing (disodium fluorescing dye). • Turbine room sump overflow • Boiler seal water (trace oil and grease) • Miscellaneous system leakages (small leaks from pump packings and seals, valve seals, pipe connections) • Moisture separators on air compressor precipitators • Floor wash water • Emergency fire fighting water • Pyrite (ash) removal system overflow • Low Volume Wastewater. 2.2.3.3 Chemical makeup tanks and drums rinsate Intermittent rinse water containing small amounts of Ferric sulfate, sodium hydroxide, hydrazine, ammonium hydroxide. 2.2.3.4 Boiler blowdown 1 To date small closed system cleanings (e.g. heat exchangers) have not used these chemicals, reserved for future use. Primarily when units 1 & 2 startup and until water chemistry stabilizes the blowdown from these boilers is allowed to flash in a blowdown tank. During startup a significant portion of this blowdown steam is vented to the atmosphere. After water chemistry has stabilized, blowdown venting is minimal and condensate flow is small. Trace amounts of hydrazine, ammonia, and silica oxide may be present in the condensate. The combined condensate flow from blowdown amounts to an average of approximately 0.002 MGD. This flow is routed to the boiler room sump and then to the ash basin. 2.2.3.5 Boiler Cleaning Boilers #1, #2, #3 and #4 at MSS are chemically cleaned on an as needed basis. Tube inspections are performed during outages, which indicate when cleaning needs scheduling. Boilers #1 and #2 are controlled circulation boilers and boilers #3 and #4 are supercritical boilers. The wastes produced from a boiler chemical cleaning are pumped to the ash basin. Boilers #1 and #2 each have a water -side volume of 51,600 gallons. The volume of #3 and #4 boilers is 35,300 gallons each. The total volume of dilute waste chemicals, including rinses, discharged from #1 or #2 boilers during a chemical cleaning is 580,000 gallons. The total volume of dilute waste chemicals drained from #3 or #4 amounts to 320,000 gallons. This dilute wastewater is drained through temporary piping to permanent ash removal piping where flow goes to the ash basin. The chemicals and approximate amounts for each cleaning are listed below. CLEANING CHEMICALS AMOUNT USED PER UNIT Alkaline Boilouts — (only after major boiler tube work) Soda Ash Trisodium Phosphate Triton X-100* Detergent (0.05%) Antifoam Agent (0.025%) * or equivalent detergent EDTA Boiler Chemical Cleaning Tetra -ammonium EDTA (38%) Antifoam Agent Ammonium Hydroxide (260Be') Di -ammonium EDTA (44.5%) Rodine 2002 (corrosion inhibitor) Boiler #1 or #2 4400 Ib NA 25 gal 13 gal Boiler #1 or #2 11000 gal 15 gal NA NA 300 gal Boiler #3 or #4 NA 3000 Ib 18 gal 9 gal Boiler #3 or #4 NA 10 gal 1,400 gal 6,000 gal 240 gal Regardless of the method used for cleaning, no waste water will be discharged to the ash basin, rather all cleaning waste waters will either be evaporated in the boiler or collected and transported off-site for proper treatment and disposal. 2.2.4 Stormwater Runoff The ash basin collects/receives flows from the yard drainage basins, ash removal lines and rainfall run-off from the basin watershed area. Some of the flows pumped into the ash basin from the yard drains include roof runoff, stormwater discharge from transformer containments, stormwater discharge four fuel oil containments, stormwater from the FGD facility, rail lines, coal handling facilities, chemical storage and miscellaneous plant equipment. Details of storm water the runoff that flows into the ash basin via gravity are described in section 2.2.15. 2.2.5 Induced Draft Fan Motor Bearing Cooling Water Once through non -contact cooling water is supplied to eight induced draft (ID) fan motor bearings to remove excess heat. No chemicals are added to the once through raw lake water. The rate of flow through the ID fan heat exchangers that discharges to the yard - drain sumps is approximately 0.08 MGD, which is pumped to the ash basin. 2.2.6 Track Hopper Sump The track hopper sump collects ground water from a foundation drain system underneath the track hopper. The flow is usually intermittent; however, the pump capacity is 100 gpm. On a daily basis it is estimated that the run time is only 50% which would correspond to a flow of 0.07 MGD to the yard -drain sumps, which is pumped to the ash basin. 2.2.7 CCW Tunnel-Unwatering Sump In the event that maintenance activities are needed in the intake or discharge tunnels an unwatering sump is provided to remove water from the tunnels. Raw water in the tunnels can be pumped to the yard -drain sumps that ultimately discharge to the ash basin. 2.2.8 Turbine Non -Destructive Testing Bore sonic testing of turbine rotors is infrequent, once every 5 years. Demineralized water is mixed with a corrosion inhibitor, e.g. Immunol 1228, at a ratio of 100 parts water to 1 part inhibitor. The mixture is applied to the turbine rotors. The excess is drained and mixed with low volume wastewater and discharged to the ash basin via the yard -drain sumps. 2.2.9 Ash Sluice MSS utilizes electrostatic precipitators as its air pollution control devices. Under normal plant operations, the dry fly ash captured in these precipitators is collected in temporary storage silos for subsequent disposal in a permitted on-site structural fill or for recycling in off-site ash utilization projects. If the system that collects the dry fly ash is not operating, the fly ash can be sluiced to the ash basin. Bottom ash from the boilers is usually sluiced with water to a holding cell for recycling activities. Pyrites from the mills are sluiced with water to an ash basin settling -cell. Approximately 3.21 MGD of fly/bottom ash and pyrite sluice is pumped through large steel pipes (ash lines) directly to the ash basin settling -cell. Once through non -contact cooling water from the coal pulverizing mill is discharged to the bottom ash hopper and pumped to the ash basin. Electrostatic precipitators at MSS are normally cleaned by mechanically vibrating the wires and rapping the plates inside the precipitator. Before major precipitator work is performed they are cleaned by a wash down. The wash water is pumped to the ash basin from the yard -drain sump. 2.2.10 Sanitary Waste A sanitary waste treatment system is operational and consists of an aerated basin that provides treatment with a 30 -day retention time and has a total volume of 587,000 gallons. Effluent from the aerated basin is polished further through additional residence time in the ash basin. The system is designed for 6100 gpd (normal) and 13,500 gpd (outage). The powerhouse lift station was installed as a central collection point to receive all the sanitary waste from MSS and pump it to the aerated basin. The sanitary system accommodates wastewater flow from the following sources: • General plant sanitary wastewater • Vendor facilities sanitary wastewater • Laboratory drains (Small amounts of laboratory chemicals used to test wastewater effluents and high purity boiler water, see the following table for non -hazardous substance). Substance Quantity Location 2 -Propanol 4 qal. Lab/Warehouse Glycerin 4 gal. LabNVarehouse Indigo carmine 0.3 Ib Lab Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde 0.22 lbs Lab Table values represents typical quantities on-site at any given time and do not necessarily reflect quantities discharged. 2.2.11 Ash Silo Storm Water Sump A ash silo system has been constructed for dry handling of the ash. This system includes a sump for collection of rainfall runoff and washdown of the silo area, which is pumped to the ash basin. This sump's drainage area is approximately 1 acre. Overall, this will be a minimal input to the ash basin. 2.2.12 Wastewater from Plant Additions 2.2.12.1 Selective Non -Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) As part of the compliance with the North Carolina Clean Air Initiative (NCCAIR), Marshall installed urea based "trim" Selective Non -Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) systems on units 1, 2, and 4. The trim SNCR systems are expected to reduce NOx emissions by approximately 20%. SNCR systems operate by injecting urea liquor into the upper section of the boiler where a chemical reaction occurs to reduce the NOx to water and nitrogen. Some residual ammonia will be collected in the fly ash from the electrostatic precipitators. The majority of this ammonia will stay with the ash as it is handled dry but a small amount may be carried to the ash basin. However, the operation of the SNCR system is not expected to require additional treatment capabilities to ensure compliance with NPDES permit limits. Marshall units 1, 2, and 4 currently are using this technology to reduce NOx whereas unit 3 operates a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. 2.2.12.2 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) As part of the compliance with the North Carolina Clean Air Initiative (NCCAIR), Marshall has replaced unit 3's SNCR with a more efficient Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, capable of reducing NOx by approximately 90%. This SCR utilizes a urea to ammonia (U2A) which converts the urea liquor into an ammonia gas, external to the boiler in a hydrolyzer. The hydrolyzer contains approximately 1000 gallons of urea while in operation and periodic blowdowns occur to flush out sediment in the bottom of each hydrolzer. Small quantities of urea will be discharged into the ash basin from the blowdown process. Roughly, 10 gallons a week is discarded during the blowdown process and is collected in the ash basin. Similar to the SNCR, the SCR will also result in small traces of ammonia in the fly ash that is collected from the electrostatic precipitators. The majority of this ammonia will remain with the ash as it is handled dry but a small amount may be carried to the ash basin. However, the operation of the SCR system is not expected to require additional treatment capabilities to ensure compliance with NPDES permit limits. 2.2.12.3 Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) The installation of a Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) system was completed in 2006 at Marshall for Unit 4. The remaining units FGD systems were completed in 2007. The FGD is an air pollution control system that removes SO2 from the flue gas system. In a Wet Scrubber system the SO2 component of the flue gas produced from the coal combustion process is removed by reaction with limestone -water slurry. The particular system used at Marshall will collect the flue gas after it passes through the electrostatic precipitator and route the gas into the lower end of a vertical tank. As the gas rises through the tank to the outlet at the top, the gas passes through a spray header. An atomized slurry of water and limestone droplets is continually sprayed through this header into the stream of flue gas. The SO2 in the flue gas reacts with the calcium in the limestone and produces SO3. The SO3 slurry falls to the bottom of the tank where a stream of air is injected to oxidize the slurry to form gypsum (CaSO4-H2O). The gypsum slurry is drawn off the tank to a hydrocyclone and subsequently routed to a vacuum belt filter. The liquid waste from this process will be treated as wastewater in the constructed treatment wetlands. The effluent from the CTW discharges to the ash basin (via NPDES Internal Outfall 004). The FGD system requires a material handling system that supplies limestone to the scrubber and a gypsum storage area for the gypsum removed from the process. The limestone comes into the site by rail and is stored in an area near the coal pile. It is then transferred to the FGD site via a covered conveyor. Runoff from the storage area is routed to the ash basin. The gypsum is routed from the FGD tank via a covered conveyor belt that carries it to a storage pile. The runoff from this area is also routed to the ash basin. The FGD system also requires a gypsum landfill. The FGD landfill is located west of the Marshall Ash Basin. The runoff and leachate from this landfill is routed to the ash basin. FGD residue material that is not suitable for beneficial use as wallboard will be placed in the landfill. In addition to this material, material is periodically removed from the clarifier stage of the wastewater treatment system and placed in the landfill. The landfill footprint contains approximately 20.64 acres. The landfill is permitted to receive asbestos from Duke Genergy Carolinas, facilities, generated gypsum from the Allen, Marshall and Cliffside Stations, generated clarifier sludge from the Allen, Marshall and Cliffside Sations as well as the following wastes generated soly from the Marshall Station: fly and bottom ash, C&D debris, pyrites, waste limestone material, land clearing and inert debris, boiler slag, mill regects, sand blast material and coal waste. The FGD residue is conveyed to the landfill site by truck, where the material is spread and compacted. The landfill began receiving FGD residue in the fall of 2006. The volumetric capacity of the landfill is 2.19 million yd3, Duke Energy is exploring other beneficial uses for the FGD residue (gypsum). If these options are determined to be viable, the FGD residue meeting the material requirements for the beneficial uses will not be disposed in the landfill. 2.2.13 Seepage MSS has identified two seeps in the vicinity of the of the ash basin dam. These seeps contribute a small amount of water to Lake Norman. 2.2.14 Industrial Waste landfill Leachate Construction of an industrial waste landfill is scheduled to begin in early 2010. Landfill operation is slated for late 2010. Fly ash, FGD gypsum and clarifier sludge will be disposed in this landfill. Landfill runoff and leachate will be routed to the ash basin for treatment. 2.2.15 Stormwater Gravity Drains to the Ash Basin Marshall Steam Station has several non-stormwater discharge drainage areas that drain via gravity flow into the ash settling basin, or discharge into station sumps that subsequently pump to the ash settling basin. These aere addressed were addressed in Section 2.2.4. All of the areas north of the primary coal delivery rail lines gravity drain to the ash settling basin. The following is a summary of the stormwater that gavity drains to the ash basin: 2.2.15.1 FGD Gypsum Radial Stacker This drainage area includes the FGD gypsum radial stacker operation and portions of an adjacent soil borrow area. Stormwater runoff from this area enters a detention basin before discharging into a tributary of the ash settling basin to the north. 2.2.15.2 Soil Borrow Area This drainage area includes the remaining portions of the soil borrow area. Stormwater runoff from this area enters a detention basin on the west side of the drainage area before discharging into a small creek that flows to the ash settling basin. 2.2.15.3 Drainage Area 15 — FGD Landfill This drainage area includes the FGD residue landfill. Stormwater runoff from this area enters a detention basin at the southeastern edge of the landfill and is subsequently piped via gravity flow to the ash settling basin. This landfill also includes FGD wastewater treatment sludge, asbestos, flyash, bottom ash, mill rejects, and construction and demolition debris. 2.2.15.4 Coal Pile This drainage area is comprised entirely of the station coal storage pile. Stormwater runoff from this area enters perimeter ditches that discharge into the ash basin. 2.2.15.5 Sanitary Wastewater Lagoon This drainage area is comprised of the sanitary wastewater treatment lagoon and surrounding area. Stormwater runoff discharges into the ash basin to the north. 2.2.15.6 FGD Constructed Wetland Treatment System This drainage area is comprised of the constructed wetland treatment system (CWTS) designed to treat wastewater from the FGD solid removal wastewater treatment system. Stormwater runoff from the CWTS area flows into the adjacent ash settling basin. 2.2.15.7 Bottom Ash Operation and Pyrite Operation This drainage area includes the bottom ash operation and recovery of coal from pyrites. All stormwater runoff from this area is routed via ditches into the ash settling basin. 2.2.15.8 Closed Ash Landfill This drainage area includes the closed and capped ash landfill. All stormwater runoff from this area is routed via ditches into the ash settling basin. 2.2.15.9 Beneficial Structural Fill This drainage area includes the active beneficial ash structural fill. All stormwater runoff from this area is routed via ditches into the ash settling basin. 2.3 Outfalls 002A and 002B - Yard -Drain Sump Emergency Overflow An overflow pipe that could direct flow from the sump to Lake Norman was included in the construction of the two yard sumps. This modification was performed to prevent submergence and damage of the pump motors within the sumps in the event that all pumps failed or redundant power supply lines could not be restored in a timely manner. Outfall 002A has overflowed five times between April 2007 and March 2009. Outfall 002B has overflowed two times between April 2007 and March 2009. Observations and monitoring of effluent during these events have indicated no noticeable impact to water quality. No sanitary waste is routed through the yard -drain sumps. 2.4 Outfall 003 - Unit 4 ID Fan Control House Cooling Water Once through non -contact cooling water is supplied to the Unit 4 induced draft (ID) fan motor control -house equipment to remove excess heat. No chemicals are added to the once through raw lake water. The flow rate through the control equipment that discharges to Lake Norman is approximately 0.2 MGD. 2.5 Internal Outfall 004 — Treated FGD Wet Scrubber Wastewater The wastewater from the FGD system is conveyed to the wastewater solids removal system, which discharges into the mixed equalization tank. The wastewater contained in the equalization tank is conveyed to the flocculating clarifier which is utilized as the liquid/solids separation device. Polymer may be injected to aid in the settling process. Clarified effluent is conveyed to the Constructed Treatment Wetlands (CTW) supply tank. Settled solids are removed from the clarifier by the operating sludge transfer pump and conveyed to the mixed sludge holding tank and dewatered by the filter presses. Dewatered cake from the filter presses is ultimately landfilled. Filtrate from the dewatering process is conveyed to the equalization tank for reprocessing. The CTW system receives wastewater from the clarifier unit where it enters two equalization basins, each with a 24-hour hydraulic retention time (HRT) for cooling, mixing, concentration equalization, and settling of solids. Water from the equalization basins is normally split into 6 flows then to three equal flows, each entering a treatment train consisting of two 1.28 acre wetland cells (36 hour HRT), a 0.24 acre rock filter and a 1.67 acre final wetland cell (64 hour HRT). Total area of treatment is approximately 15 acres with a normal HRT of 8 days based on average projected flows. The CTW system will treat an average flow of 1.2 and a peak flow of 1.4 MGD. 3.0 Additional Information FUEL AND OIL STORAGE TANKS The following above ground fuel and oil storage tanks are located at MSS: • two 500 gallon, • three 1,000 gallon, • 2,000 gallon, • 5,000 gallon • two 500,000 gallon fuel -oil tanks; • 1000 gallon gasoline tank; • four 750 gallon lubricating -oil tanks; • 500 gallon hydraulic -oil tank; • 900 gallon used -oil tank; • 8000 gallon used -oil tank (inside the powerhouse).
