PERMIT APPLICATIONS
Duke Energy Carolinas LLC, P.O.
Box 1006, Charlotte, N.C., has
applied for NPDES permits to
discharge wastewater and storm -
water from the Buck Combined
Cycle Station, Dukeville Road,
Rowan County, N.C., which com-
prises the Buck Steam Station
and Buck Combustion Turbine
Combined Cycle (CTCC) Station,
The facilities discharge to the
Yadkin River (High Rock lake) in
the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
Chlorides, total dissolved solids,
and certain metals in one or more
discharges are water quality -limit-
ed. These discharges may affect
future allocations in this portion of
the receiving stream.
The thermal component of the
wastewater discharge is subject
to effluent limitations under the
federal Clean Water Act sec-
tions 3011306 and 15A NCAC
28.0211(3)0), which prohibits an
exceedance of 2.8 degrees C
(5.04 degrees F) above the nat-
ural water temperature, and in no
case to exceed 35 degrees C (95
degrees F). The permit holder has
requested a continuance of a CWA
316(a) variance, which would im-
pose less stringent temperature
limitations on the discharge. The
proposed variance imposes a
monthly average limit of 35 de-
grees C (95 degrees F). On the
basis of 15A NCAC 26.0208(2)
(b) and other lawful standards
and regulations, DEQ proposes to
continue the 316(a) variance with
renewal of the permit.
