Note for Farrell Keough
From: Matt Mathews
Date: May 6, 1994 9:07 AM
Subject: CP&L Weatherspoon
To: Farrell Keough
Outfall 001 requires an episodic Fathead minnow 24 hour LC50 test. Given the IWC of
discharge 002 (0.37%) and the maximum 2 hours/day discharge time, it is my judgement that
no toxicity test is needed for this outfall.

Brief of WLA Analysis
Previous WLA's
1984: 5 outfalls permitted:
001 Cooling water: pH, residual chlorine (200 4g/1), chromium (200 4g/1), zinc (1,000 4g/1) and temperature
002 Cooling water: pH, residual chlorine (200 4g/1), and temperature
003 Low volume pond overflow: pH, TSS (30 mg/I montly ave, 100 mg/I Daily Max), Oil & Grease (15 mg/I
montly ave, 20 mg/I Daily Max)
004 Metal cleaning: copper (1,000 4g/l)and iron (1,000 4g/1)
005 Material storage: TSS (50 mg/I Daily Max)
1989: only two ouffalss permitted:
001 Cooling pond release: monitoring for Oil & Grease, TSS, Copper, Iron, Arsenic, Selenium, Vanadium, pH
002: Non -contact cooling water discharge: residual chlorine (200 lag/I Daily Max), temperature language,
special chlorine language, and re -opener language for biocides.
001: recirculated cooling water, ash sluice water (fly and bottom ash transport mechanism), low volume waste (oil -
water separator & water treatment waste), storm water runoff, coal pile runoff, metal cleaning wastes. Discharge
is from 225 acre off -stream cooling pond which would discharge only prior to severe storm conditions, (in order to
protect dike) or pond maintenance work. (­ ZS ,,. '5 -tor, " C�Lck )
002: direct discharge of non -contact cooling water from heat exchange units
review company write-up in 1989 WLA package.
Letter from CP & L, (April, 1989) indicates that this plant is used for peak period generation, therefore is in use
less than 25% of the time.
After reviewing the CFR's and talking this over with the engineer, no changes will be recommended in this Permit.
I will request, however, that the facility look into dechlorination. The waters they discharge into should be fairly abundant
with biota and acute chlorine impacts from a 200 gg/I discharge will have a pronounced effect. Dechlorination activities
should not pose any undue constraint either economically or land availabillity-wise on this Public Utility.

* This discharge is permitted only in cases caused by extreme rainfall in excess of the once in twenty-five year
hydrologic event, where unavoidable to prevent loss of life, severe property damage, or damage to the cooling pond
structure, or maintenance activities.
In the event a discharge occurs, the permittee shall inform the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management by telephone as soon as practicable, but in no case later than 48 hours after the discharge occurs. The
permittee shall also provide the Division of Environmental Management with the following information, in writing,
within ten (10) days of the discharge:
a. A description and cause of the discharge, and
b. The period of discharge, including exact dates and times, the anticipated time the discharge is
expected to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent reoccurrence of the
discharge.
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse impact to navigable waters resulting from the
discharge including such monitoring as necessary to determine the environmental impact of the discharge.
As a result of this discharge, the receiving waters' temperature shall not be increased by more than 2.80 C above
ambient water temperature and in no case exceed 320 C.
Parameter(s) are water quality limited. For some parameters, the available load capacity of the immediate
receiving water will be consumed. This may affect future water quality based effluent limitations for additional
dischargers within this portion of the watershed.

Facility Name CP & L - Weatherspoon Plant Permit # NC0005365 Pipe # 001
ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)
The permittee shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in
E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Dapnia pulex or Ceriodaphnia 48
hour static test, using effluent collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples for self-
monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. Sampling and subsequent testing
will occur during the first five discrete discharge events after the effective date of this permit. After
monitoring of the first five toxicity tests, the permittee will conduct one test annually, with the
annual period beginning in January of the next calendar year. The annual test requirement must be
performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30, notification will be made to
the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the
annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test if using Daphnia pulex is TAA3D. The parameter code for this
test if using Ceriodaphnia is TAA3B. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR -1) for the month in which it was
performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT -1 (original) is to
be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Rd.
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream,
this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test.
Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirement:

Due to the Acute Toxics effects of chlorine, the Technical Support Branch recommends facility submit an
Engineering Analysis evaluating the addition of dechlorination equipment. The stream segment of this discharge is
predominated by aquatic life indigenous to swamp areas. The slow moving waters in this area coupled with the �
possible toxic effects of such a chlorinated discharge may have very damaging effects on the surrounding aquatic life

Dear Mr. Noland:
File No. 541-4-M-3
As requested, the Weatherspoon Cooling Pond is sampled twice during the year for
arsenic, selenium, and cadmium. The Weatherspoon Cooling Pond is not classified as waters
of the state and only discharges during periods of extreme rainfall to prevent loss of life,
property, or cooling pond structure.
Following are analytical results for your review:
Date Total Total Total
Collected Arsenic Selenium Cadmium
March 10, 1992 0.014 mg/l 0.004 mg/l <0.010 mg/l
We would like to discuss reducing the frequency of sampling the Weatherspoon Cooling
Pond for these parameters to once per year due to the infrequent nature of discharges.
The cooling pond has been sampled for toxicity analysis and was found not to exhibit
toxicity.
If there are any questions concerning this data, please contact Mr. J. M. McDowell at

RE: Weatherspoon Steam Electric Plant
NPDES Permit No. NC0005363
Request for Reduced Monitoring
Dear Mr. Mouberry:
SERIAL: ESS -89-285
As you are aware, the subject NPDES permit expires on July 31, 1989, and
Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) submitted a renewal application in
January 1989. As part of the renewal process, CP&L respectfully requests the
Division of Environmental Management (DEM) reduce monitoring requirements for
Outfall 002, non -contact cooling water in the renewed permit. CP&L believes
that the operational characteristics of the plant, the flow in the receiving
water, and the records from previous NPDES monitoring would all indicate that
reduced monitoring requirements are appropriate.
Lumber River flow compared to non -contact discharge cooling water flow
indicates that the wastewater discharge has a negligable adverse effect on
water quantity, even during low flows. For the 24 -month period of 1987 and
19889 the maximum flow of Outfall 002 was 9.1 MGD, and the maximum increase in
temperatures between the intake and effluent was 90 C. U.S. Geological Survey
records indicate that the 7 -day, 10 -year low flow in the Lumber River at the
plant is approximately 84 cubic feet per second (efs) or 54 MGD. The maximum
wastewater discharge flow is, therefore, only 17% of the river flow during
drought conditions; a discharge temperature of 90C over ambient temperatures
would only produce an increase in river temperatures of 1.50C after mixing.
For a great majority of the time, when river flows are greater (average is 518
MGD) and plant flows are lower (average is 1.7 MGD), the plant's effect on
river temperature is practically undetectable, as is indicated in the enclosed
table. Also significant is the fact that it is used primarily for generating
power for peak loads and is not in operation for a significant portion of the
time. For the past five years, the plant has produced less than 25% of its
maximum capacity. It is CP&L's belief that this information demonstrates that
the facility represents no significant threat to water temperatures in the
Lumber River and, therefore, monitoring for temperature is not necessary.

-2 -
This stream (002) provides non -contact cooling water for the plant; the
only chemical alteration is the occasional addition of small quantities of
chlorine for prevention of biological fouling of heat exchangers. This small
quantity of chlorine (less than .2 ppm) has a negligible effect on pH.
Previous monitoring records show the PH range to be from 6.5 to 7.6 units.
Because the plant does not affect pH values in the discharge, CP&L believes
that pH limits and monitoring are not appropriate and also asks that they be
omitted from the renewed permit.
Monitoring records also demonstrate that the facility has constantly met
chlorine limits, frequently with concentrations below detection levels. For
this reason and the dilution and low operation levels discussed above, CP&L
requests that chlorine monitoring be omitted or reduced.
If You have any questions or require further information regarding these
requests, please contact Cam Wheeler at 546-6725 in our general office.

ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT
Daphnid 48 hr - Monitoring (Annual) for Episodic Events
The permittee shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in
E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms". The monitoring shall be performed as a Daphniatp llex or Ceriodaphnia 48
hour static test, using effluent collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples for self-
monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. Sampling and subsequent testing
will occur during the first five discrete discharge events after the effective date of this permit. After
monitoring of the first five toxicity tests, the permittee will conduct one test annually, with the
annual period beginning in January of the next calendar year. The annual test requirement must be
performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30, notification will be made to
the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the
annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test if using Daphnia pulex is TAA3D. The parameter code for this test
if using Ceriodaphnia is TAA3B. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR -1) for the month in which it was
performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT -1 (original) is to
be sent to the following address:
Attention: Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream,
this perrmt may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test.
Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

WEATHERSPOON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT
NPDES APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION OF WASTEWATER STREAMS
The Weatherspoon Plant is a coal-fired steam cycle electric generating
plant with three units. The plant has an 220 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. Makeup pumping rates are highly
variable depending upon natural weather conditions, generation load and plant
operations, quality of water available in the river, and pond water levels.
Releases from the cooling pond (Discharge 001) to the Lumber River are made
only when a storm with a recurrence interval of '25 years or greater is
expected and additional freeboard is needed to prevent overtopping of the pond
dikes. On rare occassions, the pond may need to be drawn down for maintenance
purposes.
Chemical constituents contained in this discharge will, in part, be
representative of the naturally occuring chemical quality of the intake water
and will also have chemical constituents of such quality and quantity
associated with similar discharges for fossil generating facilities of this
size, type, and in this geographical location. Either all or part of the
elements enumerated in the Periodic Table, either singularly or in any
combination, may from time to time be contained in the discharge.
All plant waste streams except service water are routed directly or
indirectly to the cooling pond, and thereby recycled. It is only when the
rare cooling pond release is made that waste waters reach the Lumber River.
The following is a description of wastewater streams produced at the plant:
Recirculated Cooling Water
This flow provides condenser cooling water for the generating units 1, 2,
and 3, rated with a net dependable capacity of 49, 49, and 78 MWe
respectively. The total maximum combined flow of 193 million gallons per day
(MGD) is discharged into the pond and routed through the pond by baffle dikes
to achieve maximum surface cooling efficiency before reaching the condenser
88-39CCW

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 approximately 1.6 MGD above natural evaporation rates during times the
units are in full operation.
Control of biological fouling on heat exchanger surfaces is accomplished
by chlorinating approximately two hours per day with a residual chlorine
concentration of 0.2 ppm or less.
Coal Pile Runoff -
Rainfall runoff from the coal pile is routed to the cooling pond, which
provides neutralization and sedimentation treatment. Assuming a monthly
average rainfall, of six inches on the six -acre coal storage area and a runoff
factor of 50%, this flow averages approximately 0.02 MGD.
Storm Water Runoff
Rainfall runoff from the plant area that includes parking lots,
swtichyard, and the internal combustion turbine area is collected in yard
drains which flow to the cooling pond.
Ash Sluice Water
Fly ash and bottom ash from all three units is hydraulicly conveyed by an
ash sluice pipeline to the' ash pond, which provides sedimentation and
oxidation treatment. A stand pipe allows for overflow release to a small
retention basin containing another stand pipe for release to the cooling
pond.
Domestic Wastes
Sanitary wastes are treated by a septic tank and drainage field on the
site that is permitted by the Robeson County Health Department.
Chemical Metal Cleaning Wastes
Wastes from the chemical cleaning of the boiler tubes is normally
disposed of by incineration in the boilers. Should chemical metal cleaning
88-39CCW
-2-

wastes not be incinerated, they will be treated by` neutralization and
precipitation in retention basins prior to discharge to the cooling pond.
Low -Volume Wastes
All waste streams not identified above fall in the category of low-volume
wastes. These waste include plant drains, which convey miscellaneous
equipment leakage, equipment drainage for maintenance, equipment washdown
water, sampling streams, closed cooling water system blowdown, and water
treatment wastes.
Plant process water is treated prior to use by water softeners and ion -
exchange demineralizers which must be periodically regenerated, with solutions
of sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, or sulfuric acid.
Blowdown of boiler water to control boiler chemistry is done through
evaporators, which concentrate the waste stream and then recycle most of the
water back to the boiler.
Drains from areas likely to contain oil filled equipment or storage are
routed through an oil -water separator. Waste oil is disposed of according to
the appropriate regulations.
All low-volume wastes described above are routed by gravity flows to the
cooling pond for treatment by neutralization, sedimentation, and oxidation.
In many cases added chemicals are consumed or chemically altered during
the plant processes. Only trace amounts might be recoverable in water
entering the cooling ponds. Since the cooling pond serves as a final
treatment basin and receives significantly greater volumes of water from other
inflows, detectable levels of these chemicals would not occur in cooling pond
discharges.
Service Water
Service water is withdrawn from the Lumber River and passed through a
heat exchanger to provide non -contact cooling for the plant's closed cooling
water system. Chlorine is added as required to control biological fouling of
the heat exchanger surfaces. After passing through the heat exchanger,
service water is routed either to the cooling pond or to the Lumber River,
depending on the need for cooling pond makeup.
