Dear Ms. Estrada:
Reference our letter of February 11, 1991, to Westmoreland/Hadson Power
Systems, confirming authorization by nationwide general permit, to impact 0.49
acre of waters of the United States above the headwaters of an unnamed
tributary to the Roanoke River, for construction of a cogeneration plant north
of U.S. 158 in Weldon, Halifax County, North Carolina.
Reference also your letter dammed September 14, 1992, requesting Department
of the Army authorization for a modified plan for the plant, which would
impact 0.57 acre of waters, above the headwaters.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer ifAthe discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Your modified proposal is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it
is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any

ate: ?:

required State or local approval. You should contact Mr. John Dorney of the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management at [phone]
regarding a State Water Quality Certification.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.

Brief Plant Description Page 1
RVP and RVP-H Facilities Descriptions
Westmoreland-LG&E Partners is constructing and will operate two cogeneration facilities on one
site in Weldon Township, North Carolina. The facilities, known as Roanoke Valley Project I
(RVP-I) and Roanoke Valley Project H (RVP-II), will supply steam to a nearby host, Patch
Rubber Company, and electric power to North Carolina Power. The project site is located in
Weldon Township, North Carolina. Weldon Township is in Halifax County, two kilometers
southeast of the town of Roanoke Rapids. The plant site is located in the coastal plain region
of the state in an area of rolling terrain. A site area map, Figure 1, and a Grading Site Plan,
Drawing No. C-3034-102, showing the two facilities are attached. Refer to Attachment 2.
The RVP project consists of one dry bottom pulverized bituminous coal fired boiler and one No.
2 distillate oil fired start-up boiler. The pulverized coal (PC) boiler will have a heat input of
1700 MMBtu/hr. The No. 2 oil fired start-up boiler was designed for a heat input of 19
MMBtu/hr and its emissions will be exhausted through a separate stack. The facility is
considered a major source under the federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)
regulations. RVP-II consists of a pulverized coal boiler and a 44 MW steam turbine generator.
The gross heat input to the RVP-II boiler will be 517 MMBtu/hr.
Coal will be delivered to the facility by railcar. Coal handling and storage operations consist
of railcar unloading, conveying, crushing, a long term storage pile and an active storage pile.
Dust abatement measures will employ dust suppression systems installed at critical points.
Raw water will be taken from the Town of Weldon's raw water supply pipe line, and supplied
to the existing on-site lake (old rock quarry). Water from the pipe line will supply the process
water requirements of both Roanoke Valley Projects I and H (RVP-I and RVP-II, respectively).
The quarry will serve as a reservoir to allow interruptions in the water supply without adversely
affecting the operation of the cogeneration plants.

Brief Plant Description Page 2
Water will be pumped from the lake quarry to provide fire protection water and plant process
water for both the units. The plant processes requiring water include the cooling water systems
which utilizes a cooling tower, boiler feedwater system for steam generation, and several smaller
systems including: flue gas desulfurization, ash removal, coal dust suppression, and
I miscellaneous services.
' Potable water will be supplied to the site from the local Town of Weldon water system. This
water is used for domestic water requirements, safety showers and eyewashes, chemical sinks
and similar uses.
' The wastewater from the facilities consists of cooling tower blowdown (which includes boiler
blowdown), station sump discharge, coal pile pond discharge, and sanitary wastewater. The
wastewater streams from both units are combined in a common header and discharged off-site
to the Town of Weldon Wastewater Treatment Facility.

WETLANDS STUDY
ROANOKE VALLEY PLANT SITE
WELDON, HALIFAX COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
- INTRODUCTION -
On August 31, 1990 personnel from Patterson Exploration Services,
Environmental Services Division, visited the site at Weldon, North
Carolina to perform field work for the Wetlands Study. Office and
research work on the site were conducted prior to the site visit
to prepare maps and investigative techniques.
Areas considered wetlands were determined by using three broad
criteria: 1) The area had to be covered by water at least part of
the year; 2) The area soils should be organic in nature (and
preferably anaerobic conditions should exist in the soil); 3)
species present should include those which only survive in wetland
areas. Even though some of the areas identified as wetland did not
meet all the above criteria, they did meet at least two of them.
Approximately 4.2 acres were identified as wetland. (Table I)
The Piedmont area of North Carolina is currently experiencing the
worst drought conditions (for this season of the year) in decades.
On late August 29 and early August 30 the area received several
inches of rain. We mention this because when doing a wetland
study, one expects to at least encounter some water.
- SITE CONDITIONS -
The site lies between Roanoke Rapids and Weldon, North Carolina in
Halifax County. The site is bounded by the Roanoke River on the
north, lies north of NC 158 and Seaboard Railroad and about one
mile east of the intersection of NC 158 and Interstate 95. The
property lies mainly on a hill. The old Roanoke River canal
traverses the property near the north end (although parts of the
canal were destroyed by filling during construction of the gravel
operations).
The site lies on the eastern edge of the Piedmont physiographic
province of North Carolina. The highest elevation is just over 100
feet above sea level and the lowest point being about 40 feet at
the river bank. The upland portions of the site are in fields and
old fields with mixed pine and hardwood. The area is relatively
well drained. Hardwood bottoms exist in different areas on site
with mixed oak, gum, tupelo, yellow popular (tulip), red maple,
hornbeam, birch, and elm.
- 1 -

-SITE DESCRIPTION -
The site is basically a rectangular shaped property with the
longest dimension being north/south. The property is approximately
half wooded with the other half in fields, ponds (old quarry),
roads, and open areas with scrub growth. The area is drained to
the north and south with drainageways trending to the southeast
(and thence to the Roanoke River). The subsurface soils are
alluvial river terrace deposits consisting of sands, silts, gravels
and clays. The subsurface soils, based on 65 borings made during
previous studies, are basically granular and well drained with
frequent clayey lenses forming aquitards causing springs along
hillsides. At depths ranging from 20 to 45 feet below surface
granite is encountered (in which the previous quarry was operated).
Two ponds exist on the property, both of which are man made. The
smaller pond contains 0.66 acres and is located west of the road
just south of the circle. The other pond (lake) is the site of the
abandoned quarry and contains several acres.
During normal periods of rainfall, the subsurface soils would be
saturated and weeps and springs along with runoff would provide
moisture to the wetlands. However, as mentioned previously, the
area has been experiencing a significant drought. Several of the
wetland areas described in this report were found to be extremely
dry and normal biota missing because of the lack of normal
precipitation.
- WETLANDS -
The wetland areas were identified by field investigations using
i types of vegetation, slope, soil type and condition, and whether
the area was covered by water (submerged) at least part of the
year. Some species only live in wetlands, others are riparian, and
others may be found in both lowlands and high areas (i.e. sweetgum
is a wetland species which also lives on high ground).
For ease of describing the wetlands identified in this study, they
' were divided into areas which are shown on the map, described on
Table 1 & Table II, and detailed in Attachment 1.
Most of the areas identified as wetland are man-made resulting from
both historical and more recent land disturbing activities. The
pond and old quarry were not included as wetland areas. A total
of approximately 4.2 acres were identified as wetland.

WETLAND AREA DESCRIPTIONS
Area #1 - Intermittent area, North end of property, just south and
joining sewer line - East of the road leading to west
side of old Quarry - Area is elongated and parallel to
the sewer line R/R. At 8-31-90, the area was dry even
after heavy rains on 8-29-90. The area is the remains
of a drainageway which is covered by water during the
wetter months. Predominate species include: Hornbeam
or Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), Sweet Gum (L.
styraciflua), Red Maple (A. rubrum), Poison Oak (R.
quercifolia); Dried Sedges, Sycamore (P. occidentalis),
Willow Oak (Q. phellos). Areas within the area are lower
than others with abundant organic debris; deadfalls are
present and the soil is humic to a depth of 3 inches.
The soils, below the surface soil, are well drained as
indicated by the lack of standing water after the recent
rains. The lower trunks of trees within the area are
swelled and show water marks.
Total area at this site = 3836.26 sq. ft.
(0.088 acres)
Area #2 - Area #2 is located on the north-eastern edge of the
property. It is part of the old drainageway that Area
#1 occupies. As shown on the map, it is a depression
formed by the Quarry Road and an earthen dike from past
earthmoving activities. On 8-31-90, the area was dry.
The lower trunks of. all trees located within the area
were swelled and showed water marks from a few inches to
two feet up from the base. Abundant organic debris and
humus were present to a depth of 4 inches in the lower
areas. Again, with the recent heavy rains no water was
standing indicating well drained subsoils. Given normal
weather conditions, the area would be standing in water.
Predominant species include: Sweet Gum (L. styraciflua),
Red Maple (A. rumbrum), Willow Oak (Q. phellos), Cat
Brier (Smilax sp.), Grape Vines (Vitis), Persimmon (D.
virginiana), Hornbeam (C. caroliniana), Tupelo (Nyssa
aquatica), Sumac (Rhus sp.), Poison Ivy (R.
toxicodendron), Birch (Betula nigra), Ash (Fraxinus sp.)
Elm (Ulmus sp.), Ferns, Sagittaria sp.. Hickory (Carya
[Hicoria aquatica)),--White Oak (Quercus bicolor), and
Dogwood (C. florida) were observed at the outside fringes

with evidence of standing water (Dry on 8-31-90). The
area has a thin humic soil. Willow (Salix), Hornbeam (C.
caroliniana), sedges, crayfish and chimneys. Area is
man-made from digging ditches and building roadway.
Total area this site = 7672.52 sq. ft.
(0.176 acres)
t Area #9 - Elongated area west of road and trending northwest. The
area parallels a drainage ditch with all marginal wetland
being north of the ditch. The south side of the ditch
is in pine forest indicating better drainage. The area
is moist but not standing in water. Evidence of recent
runoff exists. The soil is humic to about 3" with a wet
subsoil resulting from weeps or springs from the hillside
field. Abundant crayfish chimneys (C. drogenes) are
present. Plants include: Reeds (Arundinaria sp.)

and Sedges. Trees include: Red Maple (A. rubrum), Sweet
Gum (L. styraciflua), Tupelo (N. aquatica), Hornbeam (C.
cardinalis), Tulip (L. tulipifera), Birch (Betula nigra),
loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus). The predominate
plant by far is the Reeds (arundinaria sp.). An
elevation difference of from 2 to 3 feet exist across the
width of the area causing it to be somewhat well drained
from a surface water standpoint. The wetland does drain
a fairly large area and is covered by water temporarily
during periods of precipitation.
Total area this site = 53242.60 sq. ft.
(1.222 acres)
Area #10- This consists of 3 small areas, outside or unconnected
to the previously described areas. One area is on the
east end of the Old Quarry where the quarry haul road
entered the quarry. The area is very small and crescent
shaped containing species growing in shallow standing
water. Pickerel Weed, Lilly, Cattail and Willows are
dominant. The soil (or lack of soil) is gravel (crushed
stone).
The other two areas are near Area #3 and contain rushes,
sedges and willows. Dead cattail and alga were found in
the dried up pools. Very little soil exist with the
ground covered with crushed stone. These two areas are
where the crushing and processing plant was located.

Location: Halifax County Reviewed By: WLB/JLB
New Submittal (x) Revised ( ) Approved (x) Disapproved
Reasons for Disapproval( ) Modifications(x) Performance Reservations(x)
Modifications
(1) The proposed temporary rock sediment trap below the special
impact outlet structure for sediment basin #2 must be at least
partially installed before the outlet structure is constructed to
ensure that the downstream channel is protected.
(2) Prior to the proposed phase II construction in the area of
sediment basin #2, a diversion swale and/or silt fencing must be
added along the toe of the fill south of the impact structure
sufficient to direct runoff to the temporary rock sediment trap
and prevent soil loss to the southeast.
(3) on page 7 of the narrative, the reference to fabric devices in
section 6.14 must be changed to block and gravel devices.
(4) The plan is not clear about the use of temporary liners.
Based on the submitted information, and in consideration of the
proposed drop structures, the proposed jute detail must be used as
a minimum for all channels. It is recommended that the jute be
installed as a netting over mulch, or that excelsior blankets be
used. Mulch is essential for seedbed moisture control.
(5) Rip-rap dissipator designs must be consistent with your project
specifications for rip-rap. Therefore, outlet protection for
all culverts except #2 & #3 must be constructed with at least
NCDOT class A stone placed 9" thick. Culverts #2 & #3 must be
protected with at least NCDOT class B stone placed 22" thick.
(6) The proposed impact outlet structure detail is not complete.
All dimensions must be provided consistent with the selected
design procedure, including all walls, openings, and rip-rap
dimensions. The downstream rip-rap protection must be constructed
with at least NCDOT class 2 rip-rap placed 2' thick. Lastly, the
detail reference on drawing C-00-106 must be corrected.
(7) The proposed sediment basin details must be adjusted. The
proposed filter cloth riser protection must be placed over the
hardware cloth (a #5 washed stone cone over hardware cloth is
1 preferred). The alternate steel plate riser anchor may not be
used without our. approval of specific design dimensions.
proposed concrete anchors must be sized using the bouyant weight
of the concrete. Therefore, without further computations, the
anchors for basins #1 & #2 must be at least 5'x 5'x 1.5' and the
anchor for basin #3 must be at least 2.5'x 2.5'x 11. The proposed
U
1
alternate sheet pile spillway for basin #1 may not be used without
our approval of design details.
(8) The proposed crib wall detail must be provided.
(9) The proposed temporary rock sediment traps must be provided
with armored spillways by-extending the rip-rap up the side slopes
sufficient to protect the exposed soil to a depth of at least 1.5'.
Further, a layer of #5 washed stone must be placed on the upstream
face of these structures.
(10) The rip-rap thickness shown on the paved flume detail is not
consistent with the other details and specifications and must be
corrected.
(11) A revised Financial Responsibility/Ownership form must be
filed designating the N.C. agent.
' Performance Reservations
In that the proposed impact basin structure varies somewhat from
' the standard design details, it will be accepted subject to
satisfactory field performance. If it fails to provide adequate
erosion control, a revised design will be required.

1. All Class B stone must be placed at a minimum thickness of 22" (see flume
outlets on sheets C-00-108 & C-00-110).
2. A suitable rock sediment trap must be added below the proposed outlet
from sediment basin 113 prior to initiation of the basin construction.
Temporary diversions must be provided along the proposed toe of the fill
slopes in this vicinity to maximize the area drained into the rock dash.
3. The proposed riser crest elevations for basins N3 and #4 must be
increased sufficient to make the risers at least slightly taller than the
' barrel diameters. Otherwise, the structures will be impossible to
fabricate.
4. As perimeter access road construction below basin 113 and its railroad
spur reaches a point where the concentrated ditch/flume outlet is created
north of the basin near the property line, check dams must be added at
the ditch outlets to the flume and the outlet area must be stabilized so
that the silt fence in the immediate area may be removed.
5. Based on the submitted data, the rip-rap treatments at the paved flume
outlets mueti be adjusted to accommodate the high velocities. Without
further supporting data, the following minimums must be used:

Flume M Apron Length

6. Based on field observations by Ahmad A1-3harawneh on 4-25-92, a suitable
rock sediment trap must be provided in the outlet of the natural drainage
channel along the eastern property line below the proposed fill for the
sewage pump station site (this channel is depicted on sheet C-00-113).
This is in light of grading already performed in this area prior to our
approval of this revised plan. Please be advised that all grading in
this area must be halted until the necessary measures as approved with

1. As the storage volume in sediment basin A2 is being tilled and traps #3
and 44 are being phased in, an equivalent minimum storage volume equal
to the combined volume of traps 113 a #4 must be maintained between the
old & now systems at all times.
2. All new storm drain lines must be protected daily using the enclosed
details or acceptable alternates as installation progresses.
3. Silt fences must be provided as a minimum at the perimeter of all
stockpiles and/or disturbed laydown areas.
4. The dimensions for the proposed new outlet apron at the new flume outlet
into sediment basin #3 must be modified as follows: c a 121, t ¦ 18"
minimum if Class I rip-rap is used (otherwise specify 24" if Class II
rip-rap is to be used).
