Summary
The Roxboro Steam Electric Plant is an electric generating facility that uses steam turbine generation (via
four coal-fired units with a total net capacity of 2558 MW). Units No. 1 and 2 (385 MWe and 670 MWe,
respectively) use condensers as cooling devices. Units No 3 and 4 (707MWe and 700 MWe, respectively)
use cooling towers as cooling devices.
The facility has three existing cooling water intake structures (CWISs) The source water for CWISs No.1
and 2 is the Hyco Reservoir The source water for CWIS no. 4 is the site's cooling canal. The facility total
intake is approximately 1,114 MGD. The facility discharges to subbasin 030205 in the Roanoke River
Basin. Discharges are mostly industrial, with a very small domestic flow (internal Outfall 008) piped to
the on-site ash pond. Discharges from the ash pond (internal Outfall 002), once -through cooling water
and FGD treatment system (internal outfall 010) are discharged to the Discharge Canal (outfall 003). The
Discharge Canal and Coal Pile Runoff (outfall 006) both discharge to Hyco Reservoir. The Hyco
Reservoir is a 17.6 km2 waterbody constructed in 1963 by CP&L to serve as a cooling water source. The
receiving waterbody is class WS-V,'B. The facility is located in the Lower Piedmont area of the state, the
applicable state water quality temperature standard is 32°C (89 6' F).
This facility is subject to EPA effluent guideline limits per 40 CFR 423 - Steam Electric Power Generating
Point Source Category which were amended November 3, 2015. The facility is also subject to the Cooling
Water Intake Structures Rules (40 CFR 125) effective October 14, 2014. The intake flow is > 125 MGD.
The facility operates five internal outfalls and two outfalls to Hyco Reservoir. Duke requested the
addition of three new outfalls on the permit; two to reflect the future treatment systems for the low
volume wastes as the ash basin will be closed and one for seeps and stormwater

through cooling water from condensers for units 1,2, and 3, once -through cooling water from
heat exchangers, seepage from ash pond, and stormwater runoff from plant drainage areas are
discharged to the discharge canal
• Outfall 006 - Coal Pile Runoff discharges directly to Hyco Reservoir. Coal pile runoff
wastewaters include runoff from the coal pile, limestone pile and gypsum pile, truck wheel wash
area and coal handling areas Treatment is accomplished by neutralization, sedimentation and
equalization.
Internal Outfall 002 - Ash Pond discharging to the discharge canal. The ash pond receives
wastewater from the following sources
• Bottom ash transport waters
• Silo wash water
• Ash landfill leachate and runoff (this landfill receives CCR from Mayo and Roxboro
plants)
• Dry -ash handling system wash water
• Blowdown from Unit 4 cooling tower
• Coal mill rejects and pyrites
• Sewage treatment plant effluent
• Low volume waste consisting of boiler blowdown, equipment maintenance cleaning
wastewaters, RO reject wastewater and floor drams Low volume wastes are treated by
neutralization
• Emergency overflow from FGD system blowdown.
• Internal Outfall 005 - Cooling tower blowdown from Unit 4
• Internal Outfall 008 - Treated dcmestic wastewater. The treatment system consists of a screen,
communitor, surge tank, aeration tank, clarifier, chlorine contact chamber and sludge holding
tank A new package plant will be installed to replace the existing plant
• Internal Outfall 009 - Chemical metal cleaning waste. Wastewaters from cleaning of the boilers is
generated every five to eight years. Every three to five years wastewaters are generated from
cleaning the heat exchangers. The wastewaters generated can be treated by evaporation or by
neutralization and precipitation.
• Internal Outfall 010 - Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) treatment system discharging to the
discharge canal The scrubber system removes SOx by mixing flue gas with a limestone slurry.
The blowdown from the scrubber is discharged to a gypsum settling pond system then to a
bioreactor which utilizes microorganisms to reduce soluble contammants to insoluble forms
(under anaerobic conditions) that then precipitate from solution. Wastewater is discharged to the
ash pond effluent channel. An emergency overflow from the FGD system blowdown discharges
to the ash pond
Proposed Outfalls:
Outfall 001 (Seeps) - Stormwater and four seeps from the ash landfill flow to the intake canal
through a common outfall This outfall was at one time permitted in a previous permit as outfall
001 and will be reinstated to monitor the seeps.
Internal Outfalls 012A and 012B - Low volume waste and other wastewaters. Duke will build two
basin treatment systems to treat wastewaters that now go to the ash basin.

Schedule of Compliance Fly Ash/Bottom Ash:
As per 40 CFR 42313 (k) (1) (i) bottom ash transport water shall not be discharged, compliance with this
section shall be as soon as possible beginning on November 1, 2018, but no later than December 31, 2023.
Duke utilizes wet bottom ash transport system. Duke is proposing to install a remote mechanical drag
chain system. Design of the system is expected to be completed in 8 months, followed by procurement in
12 months Construction is expected to be completed in 13 months Duke proposes a 16 month window
to optimize the system at full load and additional 6 months for potential permitting delays.
Consideration was given to the fact that Duke will be undertaking design, procurement and installation
activities in multiple facilities simultaneously. Duke will meet the no discharge of bottom ash
requirement by April 30, 2021.
Fly ash transport water is no longer discharged therefore Duke meets the compliance date of November
1, 2018
Internal Outfall 002 - Dewatering
To meet the requirements of the Coal Ash Management Act of 2014, the facility needs to dewater two ash
ponds by removing the interstitial water and excavate the ash to deposit it in landfills The facility's
highest discharge rate from the dewatering process will be 2 MGD The facility submitted data for the
standing surface water in the ash ponds, i iterstitial water in the ash, and interstitial ash water that was
treated by filters of various sizes The following pollutants were detected at concentrations higher than
the water quality standards- selenium, arsenic and molybdenum A new effluent and monitoring sheet is
included in the permit for the ash pond dewatering phase As this is an internal outfall the water quality
standards are not applied Monitoring will be required for selenium, arsenic, molybdenum, antimony
and copper
Ash Pond Dams.
Seepage through earthen dams is common and is an expected consequence of impounding water with an
earthen embankment. Even the tightest, best -compacted clays cannot prevent some water from seeping
through them Seepage is not necessarily an indication that a dam has structural problems, but should be
kept in check through various engineering controls and regularly monitored for changes in quantity or
quality which, over time, may result in dam failure.

Reasonable Potential Analysis Outfall 003•
The Division conducted EPA -recommended analyses to determine the reasonable potential for toxicants
to be discharged at levels exceeding water quality standards/EPA criteria by this facility from outfall 003
For the purposes of the RPA, the background concentrations for all parameters were assumed to be below
detection level. The RPA uses 95% probability level and 95% confidence basis in accordance with the EPA
Guidance entitled "Technical Support Document for Water Quality -based Toxics Control " With the
approval of the Triennial Review (2007-2014) of the NC Water Quality Standards by the Environmental
Management Commission (EMC) in 2014 and US -EPA (with some exceptions) on April 6, 2016, the
NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement the new dissolved metal standards in all permits public
noticed after April 6, 2016 The RPA included evaluation of dissolved metals' standards, utilizing
measured hardness value of 100 mg/L CaCO3 for hardness -dependent metals
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted for arsenic, copper, nickel, selenium, strontium, thallium,
chlorides and zinc Arsenic data used for the RPA was collected between 2011 and 2016. Data for the
remaining parameters was from a special study for the period of March 2010 to August 2011. Based on
this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit:
• Monitoring_Only The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/ criteria,
but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration Arsenic,
selenium, chloride.
• No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
standards/ criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable
concentration. copper, nickel, strontium, and zinc.
• Limit- The following parameter will receive a limit since it demonstrated reasonable potential to
exceed the applicable water quality standards/ criteria- thallium.
Mercury Evaluation Outfall 003:
A mercury evaluation was conducted in accordance with the permitting guidance developed for the
implementation of the statewide Mercury TMDL to determine the need for a limit and Mercury
Minimization Plan (MMP) Monitoring for mercury is not required for outfall 003 but mercury data was
collected during a special study during the period of March 2010 to August 2011 The water quality based
effluent limitation (WQBEL) for mercury is 12 ng/1 The technology based effluent limit (TBEL) is 47
ng/1 None of the annual averages exceeds the WQBEL or TBEL, no limit is required See the attached
mercury evaluation spreadsheet

the future closure of the existing ash pond Duke will like to have the option to discharge the blowdown
to the discharge canal This will continue to be an internal outfall subject to the same limits under 40 CFR
423. The limits apply before it comingles with any other waste stream so there is no change in limits or

Schedule of Compliance FGD
40 CFR 423 establishes compliance dates for the new limitations. Permittee must meet limits as soon as
possible beginning on November 1, 2018 but no later than December 31, 2023
Duke utilizes a biological treatment system to treat FGD wastewaters. Duke anticipates that it will be
required to install physical/ chemical treatment followed by selenium reduction technology to meet the
FGD guidelines Evaluation of new technologies and design of the system is expected to take 30 months
The evaluation phase includes evaluation of existing treatment system, flow optimization, sitmg of the
new system within the plant, selection of technology and permitting. Procurement is expected to be
completed in 20 months, construction and tie -m expected to be completed in 16 months considering that
he -m has to be done during outages Startup and optimization under all expected operating conditions is
estimated for 15 months An additional 6 months is included in the schedule for potential permitting
delays. Duke will meet the FGD ELG by December 31, 2023 As the new treatment system will be placed
in operation and the old pond may still discharge until it is decommissioned. A new outfall is included in
the permit for the new system.
Provosed Outfalls:
Seeps -
The facility identified 16 unpermitted seeps The following seeps from the ash landfill discharge through
a common outfall to Hyco Reservoir at the intake canal- S-09, S-10, S-11, and S-12. The outfall used to be
the authorized outfall for the effluent from the old ash basin The seep flow into a concrete culvert and
channel that leads to the intake canal. An effluent channel determination was conducted by the Raleigh
Regional Office staff on December 15, 2016.
Seeps S-01, S-02, S-03, S-04, S-05, S-06, S-071 S-08, S-14, S-18, and S-19 are internal to outfall 003. Seeps 1
through 7 are chimney drains from the ash basin dam The flow from the combined seeps account for less
than 0 0005 % of the total discharge. These are considered de -minimum discharges and will be included
in the authorized wastewaters discharging through outfall 003.
Outfall 001
Four seeps discharge to the intake canal at Hyco Reservoir where former Outfall 001 used to discharged
The Division will reinstate outfall 001 to monitor the discharge from the seeps and stormwater The
following seeps discharge through outfall 001 S-09, S-10, S-11, and S-12
RPA
A RPA was conducted for proposed outfall 001 RPA was conducted for total arsenic, cadmium,
chlorides, total chromium, total copper, total lead, total mercury, total molybdenum, total nickel,
selenium, total zinc, antimony, sulfate and total thallium As a result of the RPA limits are required for
the following parameters fluoride, arsemr, sulfate and selenium.
Mercury
Mercury data was collected for the seeps during 2014 and 2015.2014 data was collected using method 245
which has a higher detection limit that 1631. Data for 2015 was used to evaluate a need for a limit The
annual average was 5 2 ng/1, no limit will be implemented
In addition to the limits described above all the seep outfalls will have monitoring requirements for
fluoride, total mercury, total barium, total iron, total manganese, total zinc, total arsenic, total cadmium,
total chromium, total copper, total lead, total nickel, and total selenium, and limits as described in Table
18.

Low volume Waste Treatment Systems:
Two new treatment systems will be installed to treat wastewaters currently delivered to the ash basin
Low volume wastes, metal cleaning wastes, stormwater, and other miscellaneous wastes that are routed
to the ash basin will be rerouted to new treatment systems. Duke proposes two separate treatment
systems The new outfalls will be designated as outfall 012A and outfall 012B. The overflow from the
012B basin will be designated as outfall 012C. Duke estimated that design, construction and start up of
the new treatment system will be completed within 30 months of permit issuance.
Internal Outfall 012A - treatment system for the landfill leachate, silo wash water, contact and non -
