Chemical reductions of sodium hydroxide (9,000 gals/yr to 360 gals/yr) and sulfuric acid (2,000 gals/yr to 75 gals/yr) are also expected (See Attachment 4) An antiscalant and flocculant will be added during the operation of the RO The RO membrane will be cleaned approximately 4 times per year with 2 additional chemicals used at the time of cleaning (See Attachment 4) In reverse osmosis treatment, the supply water is typically cycled up to four (4) times its normal concentration before being discharged from the unit This water (Reverse Osmosis refect water) would then be sent directly to the 225 acre off -stream cooling pond Releases from the cooling pond (Outfall 001) are rare, occurring usually when a mayor storm is expected and additional freeboard is needed to prevent overtopping of the pond dikes (see Attachment 3) Based on the proposed design for this system, this RO refection water flow rate would be about 4,000 gallons per day Because of the addition of the RO, the Weatherspoon Plant wishes to amend the current NPDES Permit Application to include this new low volume wastestream. Enclosed are Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc Weatherspoon Steam Plant 491 Power Plant Road Lumberton, NC 28358 amended Attachments 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the NPDES permit application and the MSDS sheets for the water treatment additives in Section 5 of Standard Form C-RO This wastesteam is considered to be a low volume waste and is currently addressed by the permit We therefore do not believe that a permit modification is needed If your office believes this otherwise please contact us.

Weatherspoon Steam Electric Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0005363 Attachment 3 Form 2C - Item II -B Flows, Sources of Pollution, and Treatment Technologies The Weatherspoon Plant is a coal-fired steam cycle electric generating plant with three units Four Internal Combustion (IC) Turbines are also located on the plant site The plant has a 225 -acre off stream cooling pond on the north side of the Lumber River in Robeson County, North Carolina Water is withdrawn from the Lumber River as required to make up evaporative and seepage losses from the cooling pond Water for plant use is also withdrawn from wells Makeup pumping rates from the river are highly variable depending upon natural weather conditions, generation load, plant operations, and cooling pond water level Chemical constituents contained in both of these discharges will, in part, be representative of the naturally occurring chemical quality of the intake water and will also have chemical constituents of such quality and quantity associated with similar discharges for fossil generating facilities of this size, type, and in this geographical location Either all or part of the elements enumerated in the Periodic Table, either singularly or in any combination, may from time to time be contained in this discharge Each component of the discharges is described below OUTFALL 001 - DISCHARGE FROM COOLING POND Plant waste streams are routed directly or indirectly to the cooling pond and thereby recycled Releases from the cooling pond (Outfall 001) are rare, occurring usually when a mayor storm is expected and additional freeboard is needed to prevent overtopping of the pond dikes On other occasions, the pond may need to be drawn down for maintenance purposes The cooling pond last discharged to the Lumber River in September of 1999 The permit required analyses were performed on the discharge and submitted in the September 1999 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) The pH of the cooling pond is neutralized when needed by adding acid or caustic at the discharge of the circulation water pumps A description of the waste streams that discharge into the cooling pond follows RECIRCULATED COOLING WATER This flow provides condenser cooling water for the three generating units The flow is discharged into the pond and routed through the pond by baffle dikes to achieve maximum surface cooling efficiency before reaching the condenser cooling water intake structure to be used again Cooling of the pond is achieved primarily by evaporation from the pond surface, which is estimated to consume a maximum of approximately 1 6 MGD above natural evaporation rates during times the units are in full operation Control of biological fouling on condenser surfaces is accomplished by chlorinating as required COAL PILE RUNOFF Rainfall runoff from the coal pile (approximately 6 acres) is routed to the cooling pond, which provides treatment by neutralization and sedimentation STORMWATER RUNOFF Rainfall runoff from the industrial portion of the site is ultimately routed to the cooling pond Sludges/sediments collected in sumps, catchment basins, etc are disposed of in the ash pond or by other appropriate methods ASH SLUICE WATER Fly ash and bottom ash from all three units is hydraulically conveyed by an ash sluice pipeline to the ash pond In addition, water from washing the interior of the precipitators is sent to the ash Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. Weatherspoon Steam Electric Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0005363 pond via the ash sluice pipeline A stand pipe allows for overflow release to a small secondary settling basin containing another stand pipe for release to the cooling pond DOMESTIC WASTES Sanitary wastes are treated on-site by a septic tank and a sand and gravel drainage field which discharges to the cooling pond Flow from the system is dependent upon fluctuating demand due to variations in the number of personnel on site When needed, residuals are disposed of off-site by a licensed contract disposal firm CHEMICAL METAL CLEANING WASTES Wastes from the chemical cleaning of the boiler tubes are normally disposed of by evaporation in boilers, either onsite or at another Progress Energy facility Boiler cleaning is usually performed every 10 years Units 1 and 3 boder cleanings are currently scheduled for spring 2008 and 2004, respectfully Should boder cleaning wastes not be evaporated, they will be treated by neutralization and precipitation in portable holding tanks The liquid fraction of the metal cleaning wastes will be discharged to the ash pond The sludge fraction of the metal cleaning wastes will be disposed of in either the ash pond or by other appropriate methods In addition, wastes from the chemical cleaning of the condenser tubes and heat exchangers are normally disposed of in the ash pond Should condenser and heat exchanger cleaning wastes not be discharged into the ash pond, they will be evaporated At this time it is unclear as to how often condenser and heat exchanger cleaning may be performed Currently, Unit 3 heat exchanger cleaning is scheduled for April 2004 IC TURBINE SITE There are four Internal Combustion (IC) Turbines located at the Weatherspoon Plant All drains from the IC turbine site, including drains collecting rainfall, are routed through an oil -water separator which discharges to the cooling pond Sludges/sediments collected in sumps, catchment basins, etc are disposed of in the ash pond or by other appropriate methods. AIR PREHEATER WASHES The air preheaters are water washed infrequently When the air preheaters are washed approximately 50,000 gallons of wastewater is produced and discharged to the ash pond via the ash sluice pipelines SPENT SANDBLAST MATERIAL Periodically, sections of boilers, turbines and miscellaneous parts require sandblasting The sandblasting process produces approximately 500 to 700 pounds of spent material annually This material is discharged to the ash pond via the ash sluice lines or by other suitable methods depending on work location LOW-VOLUME WASTES Waste streams not identified above fall in the category of low volume wastes All low volume wastes described below are routed by gravity flow to the cooling pond. Sumps convey miscellaneous equipment leakage, equipment drainage for maintenance, equipment wash down water, sampling streams, and closed cooling water system blowdown Water treatment wastes consist of solutions of sodium chloride, used for water softener regeneration, and sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid which are used in the regeneration of demineralizers Demineralizer regeneration wastes are routed to the ash pond via the ash sluice line RO refect water and cleaning solutions, and water softener regeneration wastes are routed directly to the cooling pond Blowdown of boder water to control boiler chemistry is routed to a flash tank, which discharges to the cooling pond. Drains from areas likely to contain oil filled equipment or storage are routed through an oil -water separator Sludges/sediments from sumps, catchment basins, etc are 2 Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. Weatherspoon Steam Electric Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0005363 disposed of in the ash pond or by other appropriate methods. A summary of process chemicals is provided in Attachment 4 In many cases, chemicals added during the plant processes are consumed or chemically altered Only trace amounts might be recoverable in water entering the cooling pond Because the cooling pond serves as a final treatment basin and receives significantly greater volumes of water from other inflows, detectable levels of these chemicals should not occur in the cooling pond discharge ASH MANAGEMENT AND RECLAMATION From time to time fly and bottom ash in the ash pond may be stacked or relocated within the diked boundary of the ash pond system As this pond management activity does not alter the chemical character of the pond contents, no change in the nature of the discharge to the cooling pond is anticipated In the event a practicable market becomes available, Progress Energy Carolinas may exercise the option of reclaiming ash from the ash pond system In consideration of the scope of such an operation, no additional discharges are expected to result from ash reclamation efforts HERBICIDE AND PESTICIDE USAGE IN THE TREATMENT SYSTEM PONDS Herbicides may be used as needed to control nuisance aquatic vegetation These herbicides are applied by licensed applicators, or persons under the immediate supervision of a licensed applicator, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions Pesticides may be used as needed to perform biological assessments These Pesticides are applied by licensed applicators, or persons under the immediate supervision of a licensed applicator, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions OUTFALL 002 - SERVICE WATER NON -CONTACT COOLING WATER Non -contact cooling water is withdrawn from the Lumber River and passed through heat exchangers to provide non -contact cooling for the Plant's closed cooling water system After passing through the heat exchanger, non -contact cooling water is routed either to the cooling pond or to the Lumber River via outfall 002 depending on the need for cooling pond makeup water Sodium hypochlorite (chlorine) is added at the non -contact cooling water pump intake, as required, to control biological fouling of the heat exchanger surfaces As established by written plant procedure, chlorine is only added during times where non -contact cooling water is routed to the cooling pond Upon completion of chlorine addition, the non -contact cooling water system is operated with discharge to the cooling pond for a period of at least one hour prior to any redirection to outfall 002 This procedure has been implemented to prevent the discharge of chlorine to the river via outfall 002 3 Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.
