Significant Changes in Industrial Activities
Within the past eight years, the Roxboro facility has installed a new truck dumper and wood
conveyor system in Drainage Area 4, and the facility has increased the quantity of wood fuel that
is handled and stored on -site. The stormwater from this drainage area flows into an intermittent
stream that flows onto plant property from the south, and then exits plant property to the north,
just outside the northern property boundary. Also, a new double -walled 1,000-gallon storage
tank is used to dispense diesel fuel. This tank is located on the Cooling Tower Pad.
An earlier version of the site's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) referred to two
internal stormwater outfalls, 002 and 003, in Drainage Area 4. However, construction of the new
truck dumper added new plant roads and resulted in significant topography changes in this
drainage area, creating two new internal stormwater outfalls which replaced Outfalls 002 and
003. The on -site wastewater basin discharge is covered by a different NPDES permit, and
discharges through Wastewater Outfall 003.
To avoid confusion, the site has assigned the numbers 002 and 004 to the new stormwater
outfalls located within the site boundary. These internal outfalls are included in the revised Site
Map. Both 002 and 004 ultimately discharge through an outfall located offsite for which Capital
Power has no access for sampling purposes.
Because of potential contamination associated with runoff from adjacent properties for which
Capital Power has no control into stormwater outfalls 002 and 004, we are proposing to continue
to collect analytical samples only at stormwater outfall 001 which discharges offsite.
Stormwater outfalls 002 and 004 will be qualitatively monitored visually, and site activities in
surrounding drainage areas will continue to follow Best Management Practices (BMP's) to
reduce impacts to offsite outfall discharge.

Two copies of each of the following shall accompany this submittal in order for the application
to be considered complete:
(Do not submit the site Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan)
Initials
TSW 1. A current Site Map from the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and
loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall,
building locations and impervious surfaces should be clearly noted.
TSW 2. A summary of Analytical Monitoring results during the term of the existing permit
(if your permit required analytical sampling). Do not submit individual lab reports.
The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number,
parameters sampled, lab results, date sampled, and storm event data.

BMP Summary
Table A, below, summarizes the BMPs used at the Roxboro plant
Potentially exposed materials at the Roxboro plant include coal, wood chips, tire derived fuel (TDF),
petroleum products stored in existing ASTs, water treatment chemicals, limestone, and ash.
Coal for the boiler plant is stored outside in the coal pile and coal pile runoff is treated in the low
volume wastewater system prior to discharge (i.e., it is not drained to the stormwater system). Coal is
brought in by rail at the west end of the plant and unloaded periodically through the coal chute and
transported via conveyor belt to the coal pile. The risk of coal dust entering the storm water via
fugitive dust exists and to minimize that risk, coal unloading BMPs are used and, because the drainage
adjacent to the rail bed is through vegetative buffers, the quantity of coal reaching the receiving water
is minimal. Water is sprayed, as needed, onto the coal as it is unloaded from the rail cars in one of the
coal unloading BMPs. Also, coal dust from the edges of the chute where coal is deposited is swept up
daily after unloading operations. These BMPs, coupled with the comparatively limited surface area
draining to the stormwater system in the western plant site, minimize fugitive dust transport.
The risk of the petroleum products entering the storm system is low due to the use of secondary
containment that conforms to 40 CFR 112.8(c)(2) and non-structural controls (e.g., routine
inspections) to prevent spills. Used oil is stored in two 300-gallon aboveground storage tanks (ASTs)
located at the Oil Storage Area. The used oil recycling vendor removes the used oil as needed. Diesel
is stored in a 300-gallon AST inside the Pump House and in a 1,000 gallon double -walled tank on the
Cooling Tower Pad. Diesel, gasoline, and kerosene are each stored in 300-gallon ASTs located Oil
Storage Area. There are dedicated unloading bays at both the Oil Storage Area and the Pump House
which are used during oil loading/unloading operations.
The several chemical storage units in the Demineralizer Building are all equipped with secondary
containment. Any spills would be routed to the Neutralization Tank and then the Wastewater Basin
for treatment. There is a dedicated unloading bay at the Demineralizer Building, and spill materials are
located inside the building. The Cooling Tower Chemical Building also has chemical storage areas
with a dedicated secondary containment pad, and any overflow from this pad would enter the
"V-ditch" leading to the Wastewater Basin.
The risk of ash or ash residue entering the storm system is low due to the use of non-structural controls
(i.e. an ash curtain and periodic sweeping/cleaning of the area). Each ash loading system is equipped
with a Dustmaster, which is a device designed to minimize fugitive dust due to the ash loading. When
the ash loading is complete, the ash loading area floor is manually swept/cleaned to avoid the tracking
of ash residue.
The risk of limestone entering the storm system is low due to the use of structural and non-structural
controls (i.e. the limestone silo and its blowers and piping are sealed, and limestone is removed from
equipment prior to maintenance). Limestone is pneumatically conveyed in closed lines. Any spills of
limestone will be promptly cleaned up.
Wood chips and TDF may spill from the truck dumper, conveyors, and radial stacker. The risk
of these materials contaminating stormwater is low due to the use of automatic sumps beneath
the truck dumper which convey accumulated stormwater to the Wastewater Basin. because
spilled materials are promptly cleaned up, and the paved areas are periodically swept.

Significant Changes in Industrial Activities
Within the past six years, the Roxboro facility has installed a new truck dumper and wood
conveyor system in Drainage Area 4, and the facility has increased the quantity of wood fuel that
is handled and stored on -site. The stormwater from this drainage area sheet flows into an
intermittent creek that flows to the west, just inside the northern property boundary. Also, a new
double -walled 1,000-gallon storage tank is used to dispense diesel fuel. This tank is located on
the Cooling Tower Pad.
An earlier version of the site's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) referred to two
internal stormwater outfalls, 002 and 003, in Drainage Area 4. However, the stormwater from
these outfalls flows into an underground culvert through a drop inlet, where it combines with the
discharge from the on -site wastewater treatment plant prior to discharge off -site. The discharge
from the on -site wastewater treatment plant is covered by a different NPDES permit. As such, to
avoid confusion, the two internal stormwater outfalls are not shown in the site's current SWPPP,
nor are they shown on the enclosed Site Map.
