Permitting Section H.F. Lee Energy Complex NPDES Permit No. NC0003417 Wayne County Update of Renewal application originally submitted on November 20, 2012 Dear Mr. Poupart: The current NPDES permit for the H.F. Lee Energy Complex expired on May 31, 2013. As the subject facility made timely application for renewal of the subject NPDES Permit, consisting of EPA Application Form 1 - General Information, EPA Application Form 2C - Wastewater Discharge Information, all in triplicate, the site continues to operate under an administratively extended permit. Since almost two years have passed since the original renewal application submittal we are providing this update to the facility's NPDES application. This update consists of: 1. An update to EPA Form 1 originally submitted November 20, 2012. 2. An updated line drawing showing water flow through the facility in accordance with EPA Form 2C Item II -A. (An update to Attachment 3 in the November 2012 application). 3. An updated description of Flows, Sources of Pollution and treatment technologies in accordance with EPA Form 2C Item II-B. (An update of Attachment 4 in the November 2012 application). 4. An updated list of chemicals in accordance with EPA Form 2C Item VI. (An update to attachment 5 of the November 2012 application). 5. A seep monitoring plan including site map, a summary of samplingTTA ysis conducted of seeps and a monitoring plan for seeps. - 4l .re, -p r IA,A 6. An updated ground water monitoring plan which includes a receptor survey, ,,,e sampling & analysis plan and a flow directional map. ha I dMJ,--_Ck rI ck Q. e- IA As you are aware, Duke has permanently closed the coal fired units and constructed a combined cycle generation unit on another part of the plant property. There has been no discharge to the Neuse River via outfalls 001, 002 or 003 in over one year. The appropriate attachments to the facility's NPDES application are being updated to include the following information: 1. There is the potential for chlorinated wastewater to be present in the waste stream tributary to outfall 003. The potential for chlorinated water in this outfall comes from the wet surface air cooler (WSAC) blowdown and from quench water used to cool this blowdown stream. There is currently no discharge from outfall 003. Duke will install a de -chlorination system prior to any water being released from outfall 003. 2. Duke is adding two foam control chemicals to our list of potential substances that could be discharged that may not be covered by analysis. These chemicals may be used to ensure we meet the requirement that no foam "in other than trace amounts" be discharged. These chemicals would generally only be used when the plant's reverse osmosis system for plant process water is cleaned. An updated attachment 5 with this modification is attached along with a MSDS sheet for the new chemicals. 3. The blowdown stream from the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) is routed to the onsite 550 acre wastewater cooling pond treatment unit. Previous correspondence had indicated this flow could be routed to the Neuse River via outfall 003. An updated flow diagram is attached for reference. While these updates are generally minor, we understand that they may result in some modification of the terms of a reissued NPDES permit. If you have any questions regarding the enclosed information please contact Shannon Langley at (919) 546-2439.

Lee Energy Complex NPDES Permit Number NC0003417 Attachment 4. Description of Operations Contributing to Wastewaters at Outfall 001, Outfall 002 and Outfall 003 The HY Lee Energy Complex has retired and demolished three coal-fired generating units and four simple cycle combustion turbines. Commercial operation of the site's newly constructed 3 X 1 combined cycle electric generation block began on December 31St, 2012. The site now consists of five (5) simple cycle combustion turbines and the combined cycle unit. Total electric generation capacity for the site is be over 1800 Megawatts. The site will continue to utilize the existing 545 acre off -stream closed -cycle cooling pond for condenser cooling and process water. Water is withdrawn from the Neuse River, as required, to make up evaporative, seepage, and discharge losses from the cooling pond. Makeup pumping rates are highly variable depending upon natural weather conditions, generation load and plant operations, quantity of water available in the river, and pond water levels. The maximum normal operating level of the cooling pond is maintained at a safe level below the crest of the spillway gates. Discharges from the cooling pond are rarely made, usually only during an extremely heavy rainfall event or a hurricane. The cooling pond last discharged in 1998. Chemical constituents contained in the cooling pond discharge are, for the most part, representative of the naturally -occurring chemical quality and quantity of the intake water. Upon retirement of the coal fired units, waste streams from processes which historically went to the ash pond or the cooling pond will either no longer be generated or will be redirected to new outfall 003 to the Neuse River. More detail on these specific wastestreams is provided below. In addition to the permitted outfalls, backwash from intake screening devices may be discharged into the Neuse River bypass canal associated with the Neuse River pursuant to NCAC 15A 2H .0106 (f) (2). The combined cycle plant utilizes water from the 545 acre off -stream cooling pond as its source for fire water. Infrequently, flushing and testing of the fire system may result in releases of the fire water. The following is a description of wastewater streams that will be reflective of the new H.F Lee Energy Complex: Contributin1l Flows into the Ash Pond (NPDES outfall 001) The coal plant has been retired and no routine flows associated with coal fired generation are sent to the ash pond. Wastestreams from closure activities associated with the coal fired unit may still be sent to the ash pond until closure is complete. Duke Energy Progress, Inc. wishes to maintain outfall 001 as an active outfall to ensure permitted coverage of any incidental discharges which may occur associated with heavy rainfall events and to facilitate any needed dewatering for future closure of the wastewater treatment unit. Wastestreams that have been historically sent to the ash pond include: Ash Transport System Wastewater Fly ash and bottom ash from all three coal fired units were hydraulically conveyed by ash sluice pipelines to the Lee Plant ash pond. (Ceased) A4-1 October, 2014 H.F. Lee Energy Complex Duke Energy Progress, Inc., NPDES Permit Number NC0003417 Precipitator and Air Pre -heater Wash Water Water from washing the interior of the precipitators and air heaters was typically routed to the ash pond via the ash transport system but could be routed directly or indirectly to the cooling pond. The wastewater from the Rotamix treatment system added to Unit 3 for NOx removal was also routed to the ash pond. (Ceased) Filter Plant Wastewater Blowdown and filter backwash wastewater generated in the filter plant were discharged into the ash sluice transport system which flows to the ash pond. (To be redirected to outfall 003 or recirculated) Wayne County Combustion Turbine Site Wastewaters The containments around the accessory module, liquid fuel, and atomizing air modules and the wash water drain empty into collection tanks. Once there is a quantity of liquid collected in the tanks, the wastewater is removed by pumper truck and transported and released into the Lee Plant ash pond. This water will be taken offsite, directed to the cooling pond or to outfall 003 in the future. The wash water drain tanks collect the water and detergent used to clean the CT compressors. (To be redirected to outfall 003, the cooling pond or disposed of offsite after ash pond closure) Miscellaneous Wastes Cooling tower basin sludge, circulating water tunnel sediment, and boiler vacuuming sediments are sent to the ash pond. Other residuals from the low volume wastes retention basin and the coal pile runoff retention basin and other miscellaneous low volume wastes from plant processes are also transported to the ash pond. Storm water from the ash line trench flows to the ash pond. There may be seepage in the vicinity of the ash pond. Some seeps may be seasonal. Contributin Flows into the Cooling Pond (Closed Cycle) (NPDES outfall 002) Re -circulated Condenser Cooling This flow will provide condenser cooling water for the 3x1 combined cycle generation units. The total flow is re -circulated into the 545 acre pond from the condensers, routed through the pond by baffle dikes to achieve maximum surface cooling efficiency before reaching the condenser cooling water intake to be again introduced to the condensers for cooling. Cooling of the recirculated water in the pond is achieved primarily by evaporation from the pond surface, which is estimated to consume approximately 3-5 MGD above natural evaporation rates during times the units are in full operation. Some flows from stonnwater drains on the Lee plant coal site will still be directed to the cooling pond. Sewage Treatment System (limited use Domestic waste is treated in a septic tank and sand filter bed system. Flow from the system is dependent upon fluctuating demand due to variations in the number of personnel on site. Residuals are disposed of off -site by a licensed contract disposal firm. The sand in the system is periodically changed to ensure system effectiveness is maintained. The spent sand is disinfected and disposed of in a landfill. Coal Pile Runoff Until the coal pile is completely removed, runoff will still be directed to the cooling pond. The coal A4-2 October, 2014 Duke Energy Progress, Inc., HT. Lee Energy Complex NPDES Permit Number NC0003417 pile area is surrounded by a drainage ditch that is routed to a clay -bottomed, asphalt and concrete -sided settling basin. The settling basin is sized so as to adequately store runoff and allow suspended solids to settle before the supernatant is discharged by overflow to the cooling pond. During routine maintenance of the basin, any solids removed will be disposed of in the ash pond. Other During routine maintenance, the water treatment plant clarifier may be drained to the cooling pond to allow for inspection of the clarifier. This activity typically occurs annually but may occur more frequently. Additionally, should the filter press not be operational, clarifier solids may temporarily be directed to the wastewater cooling pond for a short duration until the filter press can be repaired. This is expected to be infrequent and will not be a routine operating mode. Wastewater associated with cleaning the plant process reverse osmosis process unit will be taken offsite or directed to the cooling pond. If directed to the cooling pond, an antifoam chemical may be added to the wastewater. A blowdown stream from the combined cycle Heat Recovery Steam generator is directed to the cooling pond. Contributing flows to outfall 003 Filter Plant Wastewater Existing water treatment plant clarifier blow down and filter backwash wastewater generated in the filter plant was previously discharged into the ash sluice transport system and to the ash pond. Filter backwash and clarifier alum solids will be treated via a gravity thickener and filter press. Filtrate from the filter press was previously commingled with other waste streams and directed to outfall 003. This flow has been rerouted and is now directed back to the water treatment plant clarifier. Solids from the filter press (alum sludge) will be disposed of at an offsite location. Existing Wayne County Combustion Turbine Site Wastewaters Water from the cooling pond passes through a clarifier, dual media sand filters and then through a five - micron cartridge pre -filter before entering either of two reverse osmosis (RO) units. The two RO units may be operated in parallel or series depending on operational needs. The treated water is stored in a tank until needed. Reject wastewater from the reverse osmosis process is sent to a sump where it will be routed to the wastewater cooling pond or outfall 003. In addition to the RO reject wastewater, excess evaporative cooling water, process drains, and waters from the oil water separator previously routed to the cooling pond will be rerouted to outfall 003. Historically, the containments around the accessory module, liquid fiuel, and atomizing air modules empty into collection tanks. Once there is a quantity of liquid collected in the tanks, the wastewater was removed by pumper truck and transported and released into the Lee Plant ash pond. There is also a drain tank that collects the water and detergent used to clean the CT compressors. All of these wastewaters will be either pumped and hauled offsite or redirected to outfall 003 after the ash pond is no longer used. An oil water separator treats storm water from the containment areas around the facility's fuel oil storage tanks, the fuel forwarding pumps, and the fuel oil unloading area. Water from the oil water A4-3 October, 2014 H.F. Lee Energy Complex Duke Energy Progress, Inc., NPDES Permit Number NC0003417 separator will be conveyed to the new collection sump and routed to outfall 003. Storm water collection containment areas around transformers and substations are examined for the presence of any oily substance; if oily substances are not present in the water, the water is drained to the ground. If oily substances are present nothing will be drained from the containments until that substance is properly removed. Outfall 003 will also contain a blowdown stream from the wet surface air cooler (WSAC). Wastewaters from routine cleaning, fuel oil/water condensate, false start materials, equipment drains containing potential oil, and compressor wash water may be routed to outfall 003. Any of these waters with a potential for containing oil are routed through the oil water separator before being sent to outfall 003. Incidental leaks associated with the routine operation of the combustion turbine heat recovery steam generator may occur and get to the ground surface. Other infrequent draining and cleaning of various process units during operation and maintenance activities may generate wastewater that will be routed to outfall 003.

Lee Energy Complex, NPDES Permit # NC0003417 SynTerra EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following report summarizes an evaluation of the former H.F. Lee Steam Electric Plant (Lee Plant) seepage flow surrounding the ash basins toward the Neuse River. The evaluation included site reconnaissance to identify potential seeps followed by the collection of flow measurements and representative water quality samples at select locations. Site reconnaissance was conducted during March and October of 2014. Representative seep locations were evaluated for water quality and flow rates on August 20 and 21, 2014 and October 21, 2014. Wastewater discharges from the active ash basin are permitted by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Resources (DWR) under National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit NC0003417. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine additional potential outfalls for inclusion within the permit. Twenty-six surface water and seep sample locations were evaluated around the ash basins at the Lee Plant. One seep channel located along the east side of the active ash basin flows toward the Neuse River. A seep channel located along the north and west side of the active ash basin did not flow to the Neuse River during the August 2014 evaluation. In addition, six seeps along the south side of the active ash basin flow toward the Neuse River. Halfmile Branch flows through the inactive ash basin area and upgradient and downgradient samples (with respect to the ash basins) were collected. No individual seeps were observed in the vicinity of the inactive basins. Potential seeps were also identified around the cooling pond during reconnaissance in October 2014. Those seeps have yet to be evaluated. Duke Energy is planning to evaluate the potential seeps around the cooling pond. The evaluation will be similar to that conducted for seeps identified around the ash basins; samples will be collected for water quality analysis and flow volumes will be measured. The low volume of water characteristic of the seeps coupled with the relatively low constituent concentrations in the samples, suggest that there is little potential to influence water quality of the Neuse River. If reasonable potential analyses demonstrate that there is no potential to exceed water quality standards, then Duke Energy proposes to re-evaluate the seep locations listed in this document annually over the next 5-year permit cycle. These annual evaluations would be documented and would verify the condition of the existing seeps and determine the presence of new seeps. The DWR will be promptly notified if any new seeps are identified or any significant changes are observed for the existing seeps. If any existing or newly Page ii P:\Duke Energy Progress.1026\ALL NC SITES\NPDES Permit Deliverables \Lee\ Seep Monitoring \Reports\ 2014- 10-30 Report\Lee Seep Monitoring Report 20141030.docx Seep Monitoring Report October 2014 H.F.

Lee Energy Complex, NPDES Permit # NC0003417 SynTerra 1.0 INTRODUCTION Duke Energy Progress, Inc. (Duke Energy) owns and operates the H.F. Lee Energy Complex (Lee Plant) site. The Lee Plant is located at 1199 Black jack Church Road, Goldsboro, North Carolina. The property encompasses approximately 2,100 acres, including the 314-acre ash basins (171-acre inactive ash basins and 143-acre active ash basin). The property includes a cooling pond, located to the east of the plant operations area. The Neuse River flows through the property as shown on Figure 1. The Lee Plant began operations in 1951. Additional coal units were added in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and four oil -fueled combustion turbine units in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The three coal-fired units were retired in September 2012 followed by four oil -fueled combustion turbine units in October 2012. In December 2012, the H.F. Lee Combined Cycle Plant was brought on-line. The Combined Cycle Plant applies two sources of energy — combustion and steam turbines — to convert natural gas to electricity. The Lee Plant also has five active simple cycle combustion turbines. Coal combustion residuals have been managed in the Lee Plant's on -site ash basins, which includes three inactive ash basins located to the west of the plant operations area and an active ash basin northeast of the operations area (Figure 1). The inactive ash basins were built as three cells in approximately the late 1950s and early 1960s. The active ash basin was constructed in the late 1970s. Sluicing fly ash and bottom ash at the active basin was discontinued in late 2012 to early 2013 due to the plant no longer generating coal combustion residuals. The inactive and active ash basins are shown on Figures 2 and 3, respectively. Wastewater discharges from the ash basins are permitted by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Resources (DWR) under National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit NC0003417. This report summarizes an evaluation of seepage flows around the inactive and active ash basin areas and outlines a plan to evaluate the seeps identified around the cooling pond. The evaluation included site reconnaissance to identify potential seeps, flow measurements of identified seeps, and collection of seep water and other surface water samples for chemical analysis. The site reconnaissance was conducted in March and October 2014. Seep sampling and flow measurements were performed on August 20 and 21, and October 21, 2014.

Lee Energy Complex, NPDES Permit # NC0003417 SynTerra 2.0 SEEP MONITORING 2.1 Seep Identification Reconnaissance of the outside perimeter of the inactive and active ash basins at the Lee Plant was conducted in March and October 2014 for the purpose of identifying and locating potential seeps originating from the ash basins. Identified seeps were described, photographed, noted on a field map, and surveyed as to location using GPS (Table 1). Identified seeps were further evaluated on August 20 and 21, and October 21, 2014. During the August evaluation, it was observed that some of the seeps identified in March 2014 were dry, reflecting an intermittent or seasonal nature. Additional seeps, not identified in March 2014, were also sampled as part of the August event. During the October evaluation, the Neuse River stage was lower than during the August evaluation the reconnaissance, based on visual observation and review of United States Geological Survey data from a river stage gaging station (02089000) near Goldsboro, in the vicinity of (downstream) the Lee Plant. As a result, an additional seep was identified along the bank of the Neuse River south of the active ash basin. This seep was submerged during previous reconnaissance. The locations of seeps and surface water samples collected are presented on Figures 2 and 3. Potential seeps were also identified around the cooling pond during reconnaissance in October 2014. Those seeps have yet to be evaluated. Duke Energy is planning to evaluate the seeps around the cooling pond similar to that conducted for seeps identified around the ash basins; samples will be collected for water quality analysis and flow volumes will be measured. The potential seep locations associated with the cooling pond are shown on Figure 4. 2.2 Seep Flow Measurement Flow measurements were made at water -bearing seep locations using either a Son-Tek F1owTracker ® Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter or the timed -volumetric method. The F1owTracker® measures stream velocity and discharge using sound waves. The timed - volumetric method was used at four locations where the flow was constrained in a location that prevented the F1owTracker® from recording a signal without interference. The timed -volumetric method was employed by collecting a volume of water from the discharge of the seep directly into an appropriately sized container (graduated cylinder or bucket). The entire seep flow was routed to the container. The amount of time (in seconds) required to collect a known volume of water was recorded. Five timed Page 2 P:\Duke Energy Progress.1026\ALL NC SITES\NPDES Permit Deliverables\Lee\Seep Monitoring\ Reports\ 2014- 10-30 Report\Lee Seep Monitoring Report 20141030.docx Seep Monitoring Report October 2014 H.F. Lee Energy Complex, NPDES Permit # NC0003417 SynTerra volumes were recorded and the flow rate for the seep was calculated based on an average of the timed volume measurements. The F1owTracker® was used to measure seep flows at the majority of sample locations. The method is designed for streams that can be waded following established procedures such as the U.S. Geological Survey standards. Use of the F1owTracker® was generally limited to channels of sufficient width (approximately 0.5 feet or greater) and depth (approximately 0.17 feet or greater). Flow measurements (water velocity and depth) within quality control bounds of the instrument were recorded manually for estimation of discharge at a seep. Locations were selected where channel banks were fairly parallel. The channel width was measured at the water line and recorded. If the channel width was less than one foot, the average depth was recorded and three velocity measurements were taken. The average of the three velocity measurements and the channel volume (depth and width) were used to calculate the flow at a given location. If the channel width at the water line was between 1.0 and 2.5 feet, velocity and depth were recorded at a minimum of three locations spaced evenly across the channel. If the channel width was between 2.5 and 5 feet, velocity and depth were recorded at a minimum of five evenly spaced locations. Flow rates were not collected within the Neuse River due to the size of the water body. Consistent with USGS methodology, velocity measurements were collected at 60% of water depth. The averages of the calculated flows (in MGD) for seeps with measurable flow are included in Table 2. Seepage flow is generally variable. Flow may increase or decrease depending on the amount of rainfall, groundwater levels, weather conditions, and other variables. 2.3 Seep Sample Collection Seep locations were sampled around the active ash basin. No distinct seeps were observed around the inactive ash basins. Halfmile Branch was sampled upstream and downstream of the inactive ash basins area. Six surface water samples were collected from the Neuse River upstream to downstream of the ash basin areas. The sample locations are described in Table 1 and shown on Figures 2 and 3. Seep sample collection targeted base -flow conditions. For the week preceding the August sample collection, only 0.08 inches of rain fell in the area as recorded at the Page 3 P:\Duke Energy Progress.1026\ALL NC SITES\NPDES Permit Deliverables\ Lee\ Seep Monitoring\ Reports\ 2014- 10-30 Report\Lee Seep Monitoring Report 20141030docx Seep Monitoring Report October 2014 H.F. Lee Energy Complex, NPDES Permit # NC0003417 SynTerra Wayne Executive Jetport, located approximately six miles northeast of the Lee Plant (National Climate Data Center). For the week preceding the October 21, 2014 evaluation, 1.16 inches of rain fell between October 14 and 15, with no other rainfall recorded in the area on subsequent days prior to sampling. Samples were collected from the seeps directly into sample containers. Care was taken to avoid disturbing and entraining particulate soil and sediment. During sample collection, in -situ field parameters (temperature, pH, and specific conductance) were measured utilizing a YSI Pro Plus multi -function meter. Turbidity was also measured in the field using a Hach 2100P turbidimeter. The Neuse River surface water samples were collected at a midstream location as a grab sample from a depth of approximately one meter. The two samples from Halfmile Branch were taken as grab samples from midstream. Laboratory analyses were conducted by Duke Energy Laboratory Services and Pace Analytical Laboratories (NC Wastewater Certifications #248 and #12, respectively). A summary of the laboratory and field data is provided in Table 2. A listing of analytical parameters and associated methods are included in Table 3. Sample handling, storage, and preservation methods are summarized in Appendix A.

Lee Energy Complex, NPDES Permit # NC0003417 SynTerra 3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS The very low discharge of water characteristic of each seep location coupled with the relatively low constituent concentrations including a number of seep locations that only flow during periods of wet weather, suggests minimal potential for the seeps to influence water quality in the Neuse River. If ongoing analyses demonstrates that there is no potential to exceed water quality standards, Duke Energy proposes to re-evaluate the identified seep locations listed in this document annually over the next five-year permit cycle. These annual evaluations would be documented and verify the condition of the existing seeps and determine the presence of any newly developed seeps. The DWR will be promptly notified if new seeps are identified or any significant changes are observed for the existing seeps. If any existing or newly identified seeps are determined to reach the Neuse River and the seepage has reasonable potential to exceed a water quality standard, Duke Energy will take measures to either (1) stop the seepage, (2) capture and route the seep so that it is discharged through a NPDES permitted outfall, or (3) address the seep using Best Management Plans approved by DWR. Duke Energy is planning to evaluate the potential seeps around the cooling pond. The evaluation will be similar to that conducted for seeps identified around the ash basins; samples will be collected for water quality analysis and flow volumes will be measured. The information will be reported to DWR when available.
