Sullins Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary November 19, 2009 Alien Stowe Water Management, Duke Energy EC13K PO Box 1006 Charlotte, NC 28201-1006 Subject: Review of Duke Energy Carolinas, NPDES Permit NC0004987, "Assessment of Balanced and Indigenous Populations in Lake Norman near Marshall Steam Station", October 2009. Environmental Sciences Section staff have reviewed the subject document which was received on October 29, 2009, Eric Fleek and Bryn H. Tracy reviewed the sections on macroinvertebrates and fish, respectively. By agreement with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Duke Energy conducts annual monitoring of Lake Norman in the vicinity of the Marshall Steam Station to support NPDES Permit NC0004987 (Part1.1. Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements (outfall 001) ("The Regional Administrator has determined pursuant to Section 316(a) of the Act that the thermal component of the discharge assures the protection and propagation of a balanced, indigenous population of shellfish and wildlife in and on the receiving body of water. Water quality temperature standards must be maintained outside the approved 316 (a) mixing zone.)". The power plant operates under an DWQ- and EPA -approved Clean Water Act §316(a) thermal variance. The report does fulfill the permit obligations for reporting the results of the biological monitoring. Based on a review of the data, it is our opinion that the Marshall Steam Station is unlikely in having an impact to the benthic macroinvertebrate and fish communities in the multi -purpose Lake Norman. We also conclude that the two aquatic communities currently qualify as balanced, indigenous communities, We are continuing to review the report. However, at this time we offer the following comment and requests for future reports beginning with the 2010 report. Comment 1, Although the fish assemblage in this multi -purpose reservoir is comprised of indigenous and nonindigenous species (Tables 4-1 and 4-2), the fish community continues to be considered balanced and indigenous, We have no concerns because the Clean Water Act §316(a) does allow for '°... Such a community may include historically non-native species introduced in connection with a program of wildlife management and species whose presence or abundance results from substantial, irreversible environrnental modification" (40CFR 125.71(c), Analysis Requests 1. In addition to Tables 3-3 through 3-6, please include a taxonomic table comparing taxa occurrences for the current sampling year for each station so that a direct side -by -side comparison can be more easily conducted, Please see Table 1 as an example. 1621 Mall Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Location: 4401 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carohlna 27607 Phone: 919-743-84001 FAX: 919-743-8517' 1 Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 Internet ht J/h2o.enr.state.nc,uslesb/ N©nrthCaro n a Natura/Ij An Equal Opp©rtur ty's Afl rrnati e Action Employer Table 1.

Duke is providing the attached discussion of the "brown scum" event and analytical results from the sample collected. We hope that this summary helps in your investigation and in the event there are future sightings in the coming weeks. If you have any questions or require further detail, please feel free to give me a call at (704) 382-7161 or Duane Harrell of our Environmental Laboratory at (704) 875-5453. Sincerely, Patrick J. McCab PE Manager - Environmental Field Support Duke Energy - Carolinas Generation During late summer and early fall, people on our lakes often observe patches of "brown scum" on the surface of the water. This is more common is coves and near shore, but windrows of "brown foamy scum" are also observed in main lake areas. The presence of this material is a normal event. As plants and animals go through their normal life cycles and die, they release cell contents, including microscopic oil droplets, and cell membranes. This material mixes with leaf litter, fungal spores, pollen, and very small soil particles to form the brown scum. The process may have been accelerated in certain areas of Lake Norman due to low water levels which expose expanses of shoreline. If some perturbation occurs, such as wave action or fluctuating water levels, fine sediments and organic matter may be washed into the lake. Apparently an event of this sort occurred on Saturday, 18 August. About 400- 500 mL of water was collected from the area and transported on ice to the Duke Energy Environmental Lab. A sub -sample was examined under the dissecting microscope (25X) and appeared to be mostly detrital material to include bits of leaf litter, small hollow stems, some pollen grains, and very fine sediment. Another sub - sample was examined under high power (500X) and contained high numbers of microscopic algae, but not sufficient to be called a bloom. Most of the algae were green algae and diatoms. Detritus, both inorganic and organic, was the most prevalent material by far. Most of the organic material looked like deteriorating plant matter and dead algae. The inorganic material was mostly fine sediment particles. Further analyses were conducted to determine chlorophyll and total and organic solids. The chlorophyll concentration was high (25.5 µg/L, or ppb), but well below the NC limit for outfalls and blooms of 40 lag/L. Total solids content was 8.98 mg/L, while organics constituted 2.83 mg/L. These analyses tend to confirm that the event was the result of existing localized conditions. No evidence of an oil or other spill was observed.

This test is expected to last for at least six months. The pilot test system is a scaled down model to simulate part of the wastewater treatment system (WWTS) that is being put in place at Belews Creek Steam Station and also Allen Steam Station, This WWIS's primary purpose is to treat for selenium. The pilot system will be receiving approximately 1 to 2 gpm of waste water from MSS's Flue Gas Desulfurization WWTS. This wastewater will then be sent through the pilot system. The treated water will then be returned to the on -site WWTS sump, This sump discharges to the front of the WWTS. The 1 to 2 gpm treated flow from the pilot system is very small in comparison to the expected flow of 538 gpm being treated by the full scale WWTS, There should be no adverse impacts to the MSS WWTS due to the operation of this pilot system, If you need additional please contact me at 704 382-4669lf you would like to see the pilot test in operation please let me know.

Box 425 Terrell, North Carolina 28682 Subject: NPDES General Permit No. NCG010000 Marshall Stearn Station On -Site Project Catawba County Dear Mr. Pollack: Recently you were sent a letter from the Division of Land Resources (DLR) indicating that the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan for the subject development had been approved. Accompanying the DLR letter was NPDES General Stormwater Permit No. NCG010000, which authorizes you to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina from point source discharges associated with construction activities including clearing, grading, and other land disturbing activities. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the General Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the permit. Of particular importance are Parts I and II of the permit. Parts I and II set forth the minimum visual monitoring and reporting requirements for your s(ormwater discharge. In particular, Part I, Section B describes the visual monitoring frequencies and locations, the requirement to maintain a rain gauge onsite, and the need to maintain a written record of all inspections. Upon commencement of your land disturbing activity, you must initiate the visual monitoring and record keeping requirements in this permit. The visual monitoring data results must be maintained on -site and made available to a DWQ representative upon request. The retraining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to the stormwater discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. ©TA 1 N% `hCarolina NCDENR aturally Mooresville Regional Office Division of Water Quality Phone 704-663-1699 Customer Service Internet: vvrrtiv.ncwaterquality.org 610 East Center Ave, Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115 Fax 704-663-6040 1-877-623-6748 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer-50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES permit may subject the permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes.

ASSESSMENT OF BALANCED AND INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS IN LAKE NORMAN NEAR MARSHALL STEAM STATION DUKE POWER A DUKE ENERGY COMPANY 1 _ October 2004 TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER TITLE PAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i LIST OF TABLES iii LIST OF FIGURES v 1 INTRODUCTION 1-1 2 STATION OPERATION 2-1 3 MACROINVERTEBRATES 3-1 4 FISH 4-1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Per agreement with the North Carolina Department of Environment, and Natural Resources (NCDENR), annual physicochemical monitoring, and assessments of macroinvertebrate and fish populations at selected locations in Lake Norman continues. This report presents data collected from 1999 through 2003. Results of data analyses completed since submittal of the previous report in 1999 are reported and support renewal of the existing permitted thermal limits for Marshall Steam Station (MSS). • MSS operated continuously from 1999 through 2003, and station operation during this period was similar to previous years. MSS operated at an average capacity of 77% over the five-year period. Monthly average discharge water temperatures at MSS were in compliance with NPDES permitted thermal limits of 93.9 °F (34.4 °C) July 1 through October 31, and 91.9 °F (33.3 °C) the rest of each year, over this five- year period. • The macroinvertebrate data exhibit substantial variability; however, the variability is consistent with that observed for historical data. The data for the current study exhibit the same general density and taxa diversity trends noted during the previous study period. Current study results indicate that the macroinvertebrate densities and taxa diversity observed during 1999 — 2003 at locations uplake, downlake and in the vicinity of MSS are indicative of balanced and indigenous macroinvertebrate communities in these locations. • A diverse fish community was present in the littoral portions of Lake Norman around MSS. The fish community encompasses a range of trophic groups including planktivores, insectivores, omnivores, and piscivores. • The MSS discharge area of Lake Norman typically yielded more fish than adjacent regions of Lake Norman. The higher fish abundance in the MSS discharge during summer is likely due to generally higher nutrient concentrations at uplake locations and several other specific factors, including water temperatures close to ambient temperatures, flowing water, and rip -rapped shoreline, as opposed to the bare clay bank shorelines of other locations. i • Fish health assessment scores on Lake Norman indicate that largemouth bass and their local aquatic environment are not experiencing atypical levels of stress. • Lake Norman forage fish populations have been dynamic during the past few years. The introduction of alewife and most recently, blueback herring Alosa aestivalis has resulted in some alterations in the forage community. Despite the change in the species composition of the forage community and the inherent variability of clupeid populations over time, population estimates have been fairly stable. Forage fish densities in Lake Norman are similar to those noted in other Catawba River reservoirs of similar trophic status. • Based on the diversity and biomass of the Lake Norman littoral fish community, the abundance of fish in the MSS discharge canal, the good health of largemouth bass throughout Lake Norman and specifically in the MSS discharge canal, and the abundance of forage fish available to limnetic predators, it is concluded that the thermal regimes resulting from the operation of MSS have supported the protection and propagation of a balanced and indigenous fish community in Lake Norman. • Comparison of MSS operation and environmental monitoring data indicate that balanced and indigenous populations continue to exist in Lake Norman in the vicinity of MSS. This supports a conclusion that the present thermal limits should be maintained when the Station NPDES permit is renewed. ii LIST OF TABLES TABLE # TITLE PAGE 1-1 Description of Lake Norman sampling locations in the vicinity of 1-2 Marshall Steam Station (MSS), Catawba County, NC. 2-1 Marshall Steam Station CCW flow rate for each unit for 1-, 2-, 2-5 and 3-pump operation. 3-1 Densities (per square meter) of macroinvertebrates collected 3-4 annually from Location A (uplake of MSS) from 1996 — 2003.

Lake Norman, NC. vi CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Per agreement with the North Carolina Department of Environment, and Natural Resources (NCDENR), annual physicochemical monitoring, and assessments of macroinvertebrate and fish populations at selected locations in Lake Norman continues (Table I-1 and Figure 1-1). Physicochemical and biological data are collected at five locations near Marshall Steam Station (MSS) and include an upstream, background site (location A), two sites within the immediate projected impact of MSS's discharge (locations B and C), and two downstream, recovery sites one of which represents an area of the lake that is expected to be minimally impacted by the discharge (location D), and the second (location E) representing a downlake area presumably outside the influence of the effluent plume. The objective of this on -going monitoring program is to provide an assessment of the balanced and indigenous nature of the biological populations in Lake Norman with respect to operation of MSS, and evaluate renewal of thermal limits in the Station NPDES permit (NC0004987). The thermal limit for MSS is a monthly average discharge (i.e., end -of -pipe) temperature limit of 93.9 °F (34.4 °C) during July 1 through October 31, and 91.9 °F (33.3 ° C) the rest of each year. Review of past studies by regulators have determined pursuant to Section 316(a) of the Clean Water Act that the thermal component of the discharge of MSS assures the protection and propagation of balanced, indigenous populations in Lake Norman. This report presents data collected since submittal of the previous summary reports (Duke Power 1994, 1999) and includes data collected from 1999 through 2003. These data were also compared with other past and present on -going environmental monitoring programs conducted in this watershed. LITERATURE CITED Duke Power Company. 1994.

Its four generating units have a combined operating capability of 2090 MWE-net. Units 1 and 2 are each rated at 385 MWE- net and began commercial operation in 1965 and 1966, respectively. Units 3 and 4 are each rated at 660 MWE-net and began commercial operation in 1969 and 1970, respectively. MSS receives once -through condenser cooling water (CCW) from below a skimmer wall located at the end of a 1.3-mi (2.1-km) long cove. The cove's surface area is about 200 acres (81 ha) and its volume is approximately 250 million ft3 (7 million m3). The skimmer wall was designed to retain the upper 60 ft (18.3 m) of water on the lake side of the wall at full pond. The opening below the skimmer wall through which the station CCW is withdrawn, is about 10 ft (3 m) deep and 270 ft (82.3 m) wide. Units 1 and 2 each have two condenser cooling water pumps and Units 3 and 4 each have three condenser cooling water pumps. Typically, only one pump per generating unit is used during the cool winter months or when the unit is operating at reduced load. During the warmer summer months when units are operating at full -load, either two or three pumps are generally used depending on which units are operating. Maximum rates of cooling water flow are 423 cfs (11.8 cms) each for Units 1 and 2, and 709 cfs (19.9 cms) each for Units 3 and 4. Thus, the maximum possible station CCW flow rate is 2264 cfs (63.4 cms). Under one pump/unit operation, the maximum CCW flow rate for the entire station is 1,230 cfs (34.4 cms). Refer to Table 2-1 for a listing of CCW flow rates for each unit under one-, two-, and three -pump operation. The condenser cooling water from MSS is discharged into a one -mile long cove. The discharge cove spreads from a width of 75 ft (22.9 m) and depth of 33 ft (10.1 m) at the discharge structure, to a width of 850 ft (259.1 m) and a depth of 50 ft (15.2 m) at the mouth of the discharge cove. The total area of the discharge cove is about 75 acres (30.4 ha). 2-1 Lake Norman can be classified as oligotrophic, or nutrient poor, based on year 2002 assessments performed by the State in association with the Lake Assessment Program, which is conducted on a five-year cycle (NCDENR 2003). Nutrients and chlorophyll a values were consistently either low or less than the laboratory reporting limits for the specific analyte, whereas metal concentrations were within applicable water quality standards. Elevated levels of surface dissolved oxygen concentrations and dissolved oxygen saturation values were observed in the upper, riverine section of the reservoir. These observations are similar to results reported by Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for lower Lake Norman (MCDEP 2003), and to that reported by Duke Energy for year 2002, and earlier; based on water quality sampling of Lake Norman associated with NPDES requirements for McGuire Nuclear Station (Duke Power 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999b, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003). THERMAL DATA Marshall Steam Station is operated by Duke Power as a base -load generating facility, and station operation during the period January 1999 through December 2003 was similar to previous years. MSS operated continuously from 1999 through 2003 with peak pumping of condenser cooling water during the summer. Electric generation, expressed as monthly average percent capacity, ranged from a minimum of 38% in November 1999 to a maximum of 98%, measured in December of 2001 and 2003. MSS operated at an average capacity of 77% over the five-year period. The seasonal cycle of discharge water temperatures at MSS over the period January 1999 through December 2003 was similar to that observed in previous years (Figure 2-1; Duke Power Company 1994, 1999). Monthly average discharge water temperatures at MSS were in compliance with NPDES permitted thermal limits of 93.9 °F (34.4 °C) July 1 through October 31, and 91.9 °F (33.3 °C) the rest of each year, over this five-year time period (Figure 2-1). Discharge water temperatures ranged from a minimum monthly average of 71.2 °F (19.6 °C) in January 2001 to a maximum monthly average of 93.4 °F (34.1°C) in September 2002 (Figure 2-1). Average daily discharge temperatures ranged from a minimum of 54.8 °F (12.6 °C) in January 2003 to a maximum of 99.7 °F (37.6 °C) in September 1999 (Figure 2-1). Discharge temperatures are linked to a combination of local meteorological conditions, and electrical generation. 2-2 CONCLUSIONS MSS operated continuously from 1999 through 2003, and station operation during this period was similar to previous years. Electric generation, expressed as monthly average percent capacity, ranged from a minimum of 38% in November 1999 to a maximum of 98%, measured in December of 2001 and 2003. MSS operated at an average capacity of 77% over the five-year study period. Monthly average discharge water temperatures at MSS were in compliance with NPDES permitted thermal limits of 93.9 °F (34.4 °C) July 1 through October 31, and 91.9 °F (33.3 °C) the rest of each year, over this five-year period.

CHAPTER 3 MACROINVERTEBRATES METHODS AND MATERIALS Benthic macroinvertebrate sampling was conducted annually in late July of each year from 1999 — 2003 as part of the continuing monitoring program for Marshall Steam Station (MSS). As in previous years, samples were collected from Lake Norman uplake of MSS (Location A), near the MSS discharge canal (Location B), mid -lake near MSS (Location D), and further downlake (Location E) (Table 1-1 and Figure 1-1). A ponar dredge was used to collect five sample replicates at each location. Samples were collected at depths ranging from 2-3 m to bracket the depth of peak benthic abundance (Brinkhurst 1974). Samples were washed through a 500-µm mesh sieve and preserved individually with 70% ethanol containing rose bengal stain. The substrate of each replicate was identified, based on a visual analysis of substrate types during the sieving process, and the resulting data was recorded. Organisms were sorted in the laboratory and identified to the lowest practical taxon. Macroinvertebrate densities were calculated by extrapolating ponar densities to a standard 1 m2 bottom area. The assessment of the balanced and indigenous nature of the benthic community was determined by comparing macroinvertebrate densities and taxa abundance among the sample locations uplake, downlake, and near the MSS discharge canal. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Substrate Typically, the substrate was similar at all locations, being composed primarily of silt, sand, and organic matter (om). Clay was observed in the substrate at Location A in 1999 and Location E in 2002 and 2003 (Table 3-5). Density During 1993 — 2003, overall mean macroinvertebrate densities varied substantially among years, locations and replicates within locations (Figure 3-1). The observed variability in Lake Norman macroinvertebrate data is fairly indicative of the inherently variable nature of 3-1 reservoir macroinvertebrate data. It is typical to observe substantial temporal and spatial variability for these types of data. It is also important to note that there can be substantial variability in density data among replicates at the same location, as indicated by the density range bars in Figure 3-1. This within location variability is an important consideration when comparing density data among years and locations and assessing community changes relative to natural variability. During the current study period, 1999 — 2003, Location D had the highest overall mean macroinvertebrate density, followed by Locations A, E, and B. The mean annual macroinvertebrate density at Location A ranged from 1,811/ m2 in 1999 to 6,157/ m2 in 2002. Densities at Location B ranged from 1,534/m2 in 2002 to 4,677/m2 in 2001. Macroinvertebrate densities at Location D ranged from 2,797/m2 in 2002 to 7,483/m2 in 2001, the highest density of macroinvertebrates collected during the 1999 — 2003 study period. Macroinvertebrate densities at Location E ranged from 1,294/m2 in 2002, the lowest density recorded during the 1999 — 2003 study period, to 6,348/m2 in 1999. Taxa As during previous study years, taxa abundance during 1999 — 2003 varied by year and location (Tables 3-1 through 3-4 and Figure 3-2). Taxa abundance was greatest in 2003, when all four locations exceeded the number of total taxa collected in eight years. Overall taxa abundance was lowest in 2002, when Location B had 17 taxa. It is important to note that Oligochaeta were not identified to species prior to 2000 and adding species identifications in 2000 — 2003 increased total taxa abundance. The average number of total taxa collected at each location during 1999 — 2003 was comparable to previously reported data from 1996 — 1998. With the exception of 2000 results, macroinvertebrate diversity declined slightly from Location A to Location B, and then generally increased further downlake. During 1999 — 2003, samples were comprised primarily of Oligochaeta, Diptera, and Corbicula (Figures 3-3 through Figure 3-6). As observed with overall densities, Oligochaeta, Diptera and Corbicula densities varied by location and year. At Locations A and B, Oligochaeta and Diptera taxa dominated the collections. Corbicula collections at Location B were extremely low during all years of the study period. At Location D, Corbicula generally dominated the collections, while Diptera and Oligochaeta abundances were lower and 3-2 alternated in abundance each year of the study period. Location E collections were dominated by Corbicula in 1999, then Oligochaeta and Diptera taxa from 2000 — 2003. CONCLUSION As noted in the Results and Discussion section, the 1999 — 2003 macroinvertebrate data exhibit substantial variability; however, the variability is consistent with that observed for historical data. The data for the current study exhibit the same general density and taxa diversity trends noted during the previous study period of 1996 —1998. Current study results indicate that the macroinvertebrate densities and taxa diversity observed during 1999 — 2003 at locations uplake, downlake and in the vicinity of MSS are indicative of balanced and indigenous macroinvertebrate communities in these locations.

Two netters collected all stunned fish. Fish were identified to species and measured for total length (TL, mm) before being returned to the lake. Sampling locations consisted of one location uplake from the MSS intake (Location A), two locations in the discharge canal (Locations B and C), and two locations downstream from the MSS discharge (Locations D and E, Table 1-1 and Figure 1-1). Shoreline segments of 328 ft (100 m) were electrofished on the left and right banks at each cove location. The number of species and catch per unit effort (CPUE, number of fish/328 ft) were calculated for each sampling location. Water temperature (°F and °C) and dissolved oxygen concentration (mg[L) were measured with a calibrated thermister and dissolved oxygen probe, respectively, at each location. Summer electrofishing samples are part of the required MSS 316(a) annual monitoring program. Spring electrofishing, fish health assessments, and hydroacoustic surveys on Lake Norman are part of Catawba-Wateree Hydro relicensing activities. These additional sampling protocols provide information relative to potential MSS impacts and data are included here to further assess the balanced and indigenous nature of the Lake Norman fish community. Spring Electrofishing Fish were collected during daylight hours with a boat -mounted electrofisher from Lake Norman in April or May, 2000 — 2003, when surface water temperatures ranged from 59 to 68 °F (15 to 20 °C). Two netters collected all stunned fish and all fish collected were identified, sorted, counted, and weighed in aggregate by species and then returned to the lake. Water temperature (°F and °C) was measured with a calibrated thermistor. 4-1. Ten 984 ft (300 m) shoreline transects were sampled during daylight in the vicinity of MSS and at a reference location midway between MSS .and the McGuire Nuclear Station (MNS) (Figure 4-1). All transects were subjectively selected to include the various shoreline habitat types that exist in Lake Norman. The only areas excluded were shallow flats where the electrofishing boat could not get within 10-13 ft (3-4 m) of the shoreline. Catch, biomass, and number of species/9,843 ft (3,000 m) were calculated for each sampling location. Fish Health Assessment The health of largemouth bass was assessed at 27 locations throughout the Catawba River, including four Lake Norman locations, during October 2000 and 2003 (Figure 4-1). The four Lake Norman locations were: the vicinity of Lake Norman State Park (Zone 5), the MSS discharge canal (Locations B and C), a midlake location (in the same area as the spring electrofishing reference location in Zone 3), and the MNS discharge canal (Zone 1). Fifteen largemouth bass between 10 and 18 in (250-450 mm) TL were collected by electrofishing at each location, fatally anesthetized, and autopsied by the Fish Health Assessment Index methods of Coughlan et al. (1996). Bass tissues, organs, and blood were evaluated and scored for deviations from normal appearances or values. Scores for the 15 bass were averaged to arrive at a fish health assessment score for each location. Higher location scores indicate relatively poorer fish health. Hydroacoustic Surveys Mobile hydroacoustic surveys of the entire lake and its major tributaries were conducted at night during September, 2000 — 2003, to estimate forage fish populations. Surveys typically covered the region from the Cowans Ford Dam to the region just north of the SR 1004 bridge (a distance of approximately 25.4 river miles) and included Ramsey, Davidson, and Mountain Creeks. Lake Norman was divided into six zones to more accurately account for spatial heterogeneity in water quality and fish productivity (Figure 4-1). Hydroacoustic surveys employed a multiplexing 200-kHz digital transducer system. This multiplexing system consisted of a side -scan split beam transducer (sampling the top 6.5 ft (2 m) of •the water column) and a down -looking dual -beam transducer (sampling from 6.5 ft (2 m) below the surface to the bottom) to detect surface -oriented and deeper fish, respectively. The transducer system was periodically calibrated using US Navy standards at the BioSonics 4-2 Laboratory, Seattle, Washington. The transducer system was also standardized prior to each acoustic sample with a tungsten carbide reference sphere as a standard target. Individual forage fish targets were used to generate average back -scattering cross -sections (target strengths). Returning voltages were scaled by the average back -scattering cross-section and processed via echo integration for generation of fish densities. The average fish density was calculated at 1/4-km intervals and processed by bootstrap procedures to generate average fish densities in each of six zones in Lake Norman (Provalis Research 2002). Yearly forage fish population estimates for Lake Norman were the sum of fish densities for a particular zone multiplied by that zone's surface area. Purse seine samples were collected at night during September, 2000 — 2003, to determine species composition and size distribution of forage fish `counted' by hydroacoustic techniques. The purse seine measured 400 x 30 ft (118 x 9 m) with a 3/16 in (4.8-mm) mesh and samples were taken from three areas of Lake Norman (Figure 4-1). These areas included mid -channel locations near the Lake Norman State Park (Zone 5), the mouth of Davidson Creek (Zone 2), and the forebay of Cowans Ford Dam (Zone 1) that are approximately 19.8, 5.5, and 1 river miles uplake from the Cowans Ford Dam, respectively. Balanced and Indigenous Assessment The assessment of the balanced and indigenous nature of the fish community in Lake Norman included a comparison of species numbers and CPUE data from locations upstream of, downstream of, and in the discharge canal from MSS during summer electrofishing. Similar type comparisons were made with spring electrofishing data. Additionally, the fish community around MSS was evaluated for the health of largemouth bass and the sustainability of the forage fish population over time. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Summer Electrofishing The number of species and CPUE during summer electrofishing at all locations around MSS ranged from four to nine and from 11.0 to 143.5 fish/328 ft, respectively, from 2000 to 2003 (Tables 4-1 to 4-4). The number of fish species present at each of the two discharge locations (Locations B and C) varied, and was not consistently the highest nor lowest of the 4-3 locations sampled. The combined annual species composition in the vicinity of MSS was typically dominated by centrarchids, followed by cyprinids. Centrarchids comprised from 64.5 (2001) to 90.6 % (2003) of the fish community around MSS. Clupeids, percids, and ictalurids were minor contributors to the species assemblage. During 2000 and 2002, the highest CPUE was measured in the MSS discharge at Location C (Figure 4-2). The highest CPUE during 2001 and 2003 was measured downlake at Location E. In all four years of sampling, the highest, or second highest, CPUE was measured at one of the two discharge canal locations despite the fact that these two locations typically had the highest water temperatures and the lowest dissolved oxygen concentrations. Electrofishing catch rates typically are influenced by a range of variables including productivity, gear efficiency, bottom substrate, available cover, turbidity, water temperature, and water velocity. The higher CPUE in the MSS discharge during summer is likely due to several of these factors, including water temperatures close to ambient temperatures, flowing water, and rip -rapped shoreline (Location C), as opposed to the . bare clay bank shorelines of other locations. Summer electrofishing results observed from 2000 — 2003 are similar to those demonstrated in previous reports from 1991 —1999 (Duke Power 1994, 1999). Spring EIectrofishing Fish numbers and biomass per 9,843 ft of shoreline ranged from 1,157 to 3,277 and 80.4 to 387.3 kg, respectively, in the vicinity of the MSS discharge and from 1,314 to 2,349 and 81.1 to 115.4 kg, respectively, at the reference location (Table 4-5 and Figure 4-3). High spring 2003 rainfall totals elevated lake levels and inundated shoreline vegetation, providing the appropriate cues to trigger common carp Cyprinus carpio spawning near MSS. The resulting high biomass measured (387.3 kg in 2003) can be attributed to the collection of 141 common carp weighing over 255 kg. The average numbers of fish and biomass collected around the MSS discharge were typically greater than those from the downlake reference location. The average number of fish species collected was also typically greater at MSS than the reference location. A total of 28 species and hybrid lepomids were collected near MSS from 2000 to 2003 while 27 species and hybrid lepomids were collected at the reference location (Table 4-6). Spring electrofishing data indicate that the region of Lake Norman near the MSS discharge yielded more species and numbers of fish, resulting in higher fish biomass than the downlake reference location. Declining nutrient concentrations with increasing proximity to the Cowans Ford Dam is probably one of several factors that contributed to the 4-4 reduced fish biomass observed downlake. Species composition information from all the spring electrofishing samples indicates that centrarchids dominate the Lake Norman fish community (65.9% of all fish collected) followed by cyprinids, clupeids, ictalurids, moronids, percids, catostomids, lepisosteids, and salmonids. The salmonids are undoubtedly the remnants of bait bucket releases by striped bass fishermen. Species composition information from spring electrofishing is comparable to that found around MSS during summer electrofishing though a larger variety of species inhabit the shoreline in spring compared to summer. Fish Health Assessment Fish health assessment scores for Lake Norman largemouth bass ranged from 18 to 30 from 2000 to 2003 (Table 4-7). Scores for the entire Catawba River ranged from 8 to 48 and averaged 23.9 (2000) and 30.3 (2003) (Duke Power, unpublished data). Largemouth bass are one of several top predators in the Lake Norman food chain and integrate the effects of various stressful physical, chemical, and biological conditions. Experience has demonstrated that scores greater than 45 identify areas where the integration of these stressful conditions may be a cause for concern and further studies. All Lake Norman fish health scores were less than 45 and all MSS scores were generally less than, or equal to, the average for the entire Catawba River. The health of largemouth bass residing in the vicinity of MSS is good and generally similar to that of bass from other regions of Lake Norman. Hydroacoustic Surveys Purse seine sampling at three Lake Norman locations identified threadfin shad as the dominant forage species from 2000 to 2003 (Table 4-8). Prior to 2000, threadfin shad comprised from 99 to 100% of the forage fish population collected. Angler introductions of alewife Alosa pseudoharengus in 1999 have gradually changed the forage fish species composition and now roughly 20% of the forage is alewife. Alewife persistence in the reservoir will be a continued focus of future studies. The modal size class of threadfin shad rose briefly in 2000 and 2001, into the 50-60 mm TL range, and now appears to be in the 40- 50 mm size range (Figure 4-4). Forage fish densities (no.lhectare) in the six zones of Lake Norman ranged from 1,800 to 13,158 during 2000 to 2003 (Table 4-9). With the exception of 2000, threadfin shad densities were generally highest uplake in Zone 5 and lower downlake. The limited amount 4-5 of 'sampleable' habitat in Zone 6 (the most uplake zone) complicate discussions about this trend; during the drought year of 2002 water depths were insufficient to safely lower the transducers and collect data in this zone. Higher densities of forage fish in uplake regions have been demonstrated previously in Lake Norman (Siler et al. 1986) and in Missouri reservoirs (Michaletz and Gale, 1999) and are related to higher nutrient concentrations in these regions. Forage fish densities in Lake Norman are similar to those noted in other Catawba River reservoirs of similar trophic status. Forage fish population estimates ranged from approximately 64.3 million to 85.7 million during 2000 to 2003. These estimates have been fairly constant since 1997 and average approximately 76 million fish. CONCLUSION A diverse fish community was present in the littoral portions of Lake Norman around MSS. From 2000 through 2003, summer electrofishing produced 17 species of fish representing seven families. Centrarchids numerically dominated fish populations here, followed generally by cyprinids, percids, moronids, catostomids, ictalurids, and clupeids. A similar species composition trend was found during spring electrofishing when 28 species representing nine families were collected. These families encompass a range of trophic groups including planktivores, insectivores, omnivores, and piscivores. The MSS discharge area of Lake Norman typically yielded more fish than adjacent regions of Lake Norman. Electrofishing CPUE indices, both numeric (spring and summer) and gravimetric (spring), were usually higher around the MSS discharge than in adjacent lake areas. In general, higher nutrient concentrations in the uplake regions of Lake Norman probably contribute to the higher CPUE near MSS. The higher CPUE in the MSS discharge (Location C) during summer is likely due to several other specific factors, including water temperatures close to ambient temperatures, flowing water, and rip -rapped shoreline, as opposed to the bare clay bank shorelines of other locations. Largemouth bass are one of several top predators in Lake Norman; through diet and the aquatic environment, they integrate the effects of various stressful physical, chemical, and biological conditions. The fish health assessment index is a survey tool employed to identify fish populations succumbing to undue levels of stress. The lack of elevated fish health 4-6 assessment scores on Lake Norman indicates that largemouth bass, their prey items, and their local aquatic environment are probably not experiencing levels of stress beyond that experienced in some Catawba River reservoirs that do not receive heated effluent. Lake Norman forage fish populations have been dynamic during the past few years. The introduction of alewife (and most recently, we have collected blueback herring Alosa aestivalis) has resulted in some alterations in the forage community and will be the focus of continued studies. Forage fish population densities, as measured by hydroacoustics, were generally greatest in uplake portions of Lake Norman. Despite the change in the species composition of the forage community and the inherent variability of clupeid populations over time, population estimates have been fairly stable. Threadfin shad and alewife in Lake Norman have consistently provided forage, though now more diverse in size and habitat utilization, to limnetic predators. Past studies have indicated that there is "a balanced and indigenous fish community in Lake Norman" (Duke Power Company 1994, 1999). The present study reinforces that conclusion. Based on the diversity and biomass of the Lake Norman littoral fish community, the abundance of fish in the MSS discharge canal, the good health of largemouth bass throughout Lake Norman and specifically in the MSS discharge canal, and the abundance of forage fish available to limnetic predators, it is concluded that the thermal regimes resulting from the operation of MSS have supported the protection and propagation of a balanced and indigenous fish community in Lake Norman.

Based on that data, effluent monitoring for those two parameters can be discontinued during future addtions of sawdust to the condenser tubes. However, if the quantity of sawdust added should be greater than the highest value of 300 lbs noted in the data, DWQ recommends that the pre and post monitoring for TSS and BODS be reinstated. Please contact me if any additional questions.

Currently Unit #1 at Marshall Steam Station has some small tube leaks. As currently permitted, Duke plans to add sawdust to the CCW system to plug the small leaks, but would like to do so without having to do pre and post monitoring, as required previously. The attached document contains the results of the samples collected during previous sawdust additions. As you can see, no apparent significant impact occurred from the sawdust addition to the station discharge Please advise, if addition of sawdust can proceed without monitoring.

A Duke Energy Company November 24, 2003 To: Mark McIntire North Carolina Department of Environment. and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Subject: Marshall Steam Station Proposed Modification to NPDES Permit No. NC0004987 Dear Mr. McIntire: FOSSIL -HYDRO GENERATION ' Duke Power EC11 E / 526 South Church Street Charlotte, NC 28202-1802 NC DEPT. OF ENVIRONMENT - AD t4ATt j RESOURCES 'A l�iESVILLE FIEGIONALOFFICE CEID 1 W0V 2 5 2003 SECTION With reference to the proposed subject NPDES permit modification, Duke Energy Corporation (Duke) offers the following comments. The modified NPDES permit includes weekly monitoring for the influent and effluent of the new internal waste water treatment system (WWTS) and also weekly monitoring at the current WWTS (outfall 002) for several new parameters. Duke requests that the monitoring frequency be revised from weekly to monthly for the new identified NPDES parameters and also that the monitoring requirements for the influent to the new WWTS be eliminated. Duke plans to install a constructed wetland waste water treatment system in order to treat the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) waste water. The pilot study being conducted at Clemson University indicates that this treatment system will sufficiently remove targeted pollutants. Additionally, once the new WWTS is installed and in operation, Duke plans to conduct in -process monitoring in order to ensure that the system is operating as designed. This monitoring will focus on several of the parameters that are identified in the proposed NPDES permit, in addition to other performance parameters as determined by the system designer. Additional comments on the subject permit are as follows: 1. It is requested that page numbers be included. 2. It is requested that the page for outfall 004 follow the page for outfall 003. 3. Under the "NOTES" for outfall 004 it is requested that a statement be inserted that the submittal of monthly DMRs is only required once the FGD system begins operation. This will reduce the paper work until the operation begins. www.dukepower.com 4. On the page entitled "3. Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements Outfall 002", in the first paragraph it states that outfall 002 is an "internal" outfall. This outfall is actually a "final" outfall. Therefore, it is requested that "internal" be replaced with the word "final". 5. Under Part I. item 7., the word "flue" is misspelled. 6. Under Part I. item 11., the wording used in other NPDES permits provides further clarification on when the Biocide Worksheet 101 is not required. The current wording in other NPDES permits states," Completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 is not necessary for those outfalls containing toxicity testing. Division approval is not necessary for the introduction of a new biocide into an outfall currently being tested for toxicity." It is requested that this wording be included in the NPDES permit for Marshall Steam Station. 7. Under Part I. item 13., "Buck Steam Station is referenced instead of "Marshall Steam Station". It is requested that the reference be changed to "Marshall Steam Station". 8. Under Part I. item 16. (7), the word "Minimum" should actually be changed to "Maximum". This restricts the chemical cleaning from being diluted and suspending the metals during a chemical metals cleaning. 9. In Parts II and IV references are made to municipalities. This new wording does not apply to Marshall Steam Station since it is not considered a municipality. In order to minimize some potential misinterpretations, it is Duke preference that the paragraphs that refer to municipalities be deleted. Duke appreciates the opportunity to review and provide comments on this proposed permit modification. We will be glad to meet and discuss any items that you would like to discuss further.

Submitted to: E-Mail address: Notification Date: Time: NCDENR Regional Office - Mooresville michael.parker@ncmail.net 9-7-2001 1030 Dead fish were observed in the Marshall intake canal early on 9/5/01. Initial estimates on 9/5/01 indicated that 15 to 20 dead stripers and about one hundred smaller fish were dead and drawn by the intake to the intake structure. A more definitive estimate was made on 9/6/01 from a boat launched in the intake cove. This was reported to Mr. Scott Van Horn of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission: Mr. Scott Van Horn and others: Made a trip up to Marshall Steam Station intake cove on Sept 6 to get a better handle on the report of dead fish. They counted and measured 25 striped bass (average length 541 mm , ranged from 380 to 685 mm), 1 carp (320 mm), 1 blue catfish (550 mm), 1 channel catfish (440 mm). By far, alewife were most numerous. It was estimated to be 2 to 3 thousand fish, average length 140 mm. They didn't take time to count them along the entire shore but estimated several sections at about a fish per foot of shoreline with higher numbers in areas where fish had been wind rowed or sucked into the intake bays. Striper mortalities have been seen in the intake in years past but this is a first for the recently "introduced" alewife. Mr. Van Horn notified the Mooresville NC DENR office on Sept. 6. Additional Comments: Susan Robinson and Bob Caccia talked with Mike Parker concerning the dead fish on Sept 7.

As is normal procedure, the Application and accompanying attachments have been sent to John Morris, Director of the Division of Water Resources, who then distributes the Applications to the appropriate regional DENR office for review. However, because you have been identified through Duke Energy's other recent Applications to be the appropriate regional contact, we are also sending the Application and associated material directly to you. As you may recall, you processed and certified the Application for Certification of Pollution Control Facility covering the 1996 "A" Ash Line Addition to Marshall Steam Station, which is comparable to the 1999 "D" Ash Line for which Duke Energy is currently seeking certification. For your reference, the "A" Ash Line Tax Certification TCS-MV-021 was signed by D. Rex Gleason, P.E. on April 18, 2000. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (412) 338-7822.

The North Carolina Department of Environment & Natural Resources' (DENR's) completion of the State Certification Form included within these applications is required as a process step in the Internal Revenue Service's Rapid Tax Amortization Program outlined under section 169 of the Internal Revenue Code. As the tax treatment under the IRS's Rapid Tax Amortization Program is applicable to facilities which "remove, alter, dispose of, store, or prevent the creation of pollutants, contaminants, wastes, or heat," and as the ash line is encompassed within this definition, the facility addition meets the 40 CFR criteria for a pollution control facility. The original application and accompanying attachments have been submitted to: Ms. Marsha English Region IV, U.S. EPA Atlanta Federal Center 61 Forsyth Street, SW Atlanta, GA 30303-3104 Per the 40 CFR, you should forward one of the two copies of this application and a completed State Certification Form to the U.S. EPA Regional Administrator at the address listed above, and a copy of the completed State Certification Form to Duke Energy Corporation.

This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983. In a letter dated June 22, 1995 you requested various modifications to the subject draft permit Many of your requested changes were minor adjustments to wording, punctuation, etc. These changes have been adopted as you requested. Other more significant concerns included the monitoring requirements for acute toxicity, Manganese, Cadmium, Sulfates, and pH for outfall 001; the monitoring frequency for Oil/Grease, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Copper, Total Iron, Total Selenium, and pH and the TSS daily maximum limit of 50.0 mg/1 for outfall 002, and the monitoring requirements for outfall 003. These requests were subsequently discussed in a meeting between Ron Lewis of your office and Dana Bolden and Farrell Keough of the Division's Water Quality Section. The acute toxicity monitoring requirement erroneously mentioned in the `Ter has not been included in the final permit. Based on the addition-, - monitoring requirements for cadmium and sulfates have be'' - Monitoring Requirements for outfall 001. Th.. - downstream monitoring location,.

Carter, Technical Systems Manager Page.2 The meeting between Mr. Lewis, Mr. Bolden, and Mr. Keough resulted in a clearer understanding of the nature of the discharge from outfall 003. In particular, Mr. Lewis indicated that the outfall 003 discharge is directly to the cooling water intake canal serviced by outfall 001 and that 'no discharge would occur from outfall 003 unless the cooling water intake were in operation.. In light of this information and peryour request, all monitoring requirements for outfall 003 have been deleted. • I hope these modifications satisfactorily address your concerns. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you,'you'have the right to an adjuclicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall, be final and binding. Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part II, B.2: addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control 'of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143.215 ,1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6,1983. In a letter dated June 22, 1995 you requested various modifications to the subject draft permit. Many of your requested changes were minor adjustments to wording, punctuation, etc. These changes have been adopted as you requested. Other more significant concerns included We monitoring requirements for acute toxicity, Manganese, Cadmium, Sulfates, and pH for outfall 001; the monitoring frequency for Oil/Grease, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Copper, Total Iron, Total Selenium, and pH and the TSS daily maximum limit of 50.0 mg/1 for outfall 002, and the monitoring requirements for outfall 003. These requests were subsequently discussed in a meeting between Ron Lewis of your office and Dana Bolden and Farrell Keough of the Division's Water Quality Section. The acute toxicity monitoring requirement erroneously mentioned in the draft permit cover letter has not been included in the final permit. Based on the additional data supplied by Mr. Lewis, monitoring requirements for cadmium and sulfates have been deleted from the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements for outfall 001. That sarn,e data reveal elevated levels of manganese at a downstream monitoring location. We understand that the source of this manganese may be the hypolimnetic water used for condenser cooling and discharged via outfall 001. The required monitoring will aid in verifying the source of the elevated Manganese concentrations and enable Duke Power and the Division to seek a long terra solution to the concerns associated with the manganese discharge. Additionally, the pH monitoring frequency has been reduced to monthly to coincide with the manganese monitoring frequency. Upon evaluation of the available data, we were able to comply with your reuest to reduce the monitoring frequency for Oil/Grease, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Copper, Total Iron, and Total, Selenium from 2/month to monthly and the frequency for pH monitoring from daily to weekly. Additionally, re-evaluation of the appropriate Federal guidelines for daily maximum Total Suspended Solids discharge concentrations indicated that a 65.0 rag/1 Total Suspended Solids limitation is appropriate for outfall 002.

The meeting between Mr. Lewis, Mr. Bolden, and Mr. Keough resulted in a clearer understanding of the nature of the discharge from•outfall 003. In particular, Mr. Lewis indicated that the outfall 003 discharge is directly to the coolingswater intake canal serviced by cattail 001 and that no discharge would occur from outfall 003 unless the cooling water intake were in operation. In light of this information and peryour request, all monitoring requirements for outfali 003 have been deleted. I hope these modifications satisfactorily address your concerns.

Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The permi.ttee presently operates an extended aeration WWTP (package plant) consisting of a bar screen followed by aeration .and clarification. This facility serves as a pretreatment facility prior to discharging into an ash disposal basin. 2. Type of Profi ose:? *Treatme ;t Facility: The applicant proposes to construct an aerated lagoon as the method of pretreatment prior to discharging to the ash basin. The package plant is being replaced due to its proximity to Lake Norman (<50 feet) and its collection system limits site expansion. 3.

The existing WWT facility has, in years past, experienced overflows from both the collection system and the WWTP as a result of excessive rainfall. Although repairs have been made to the WWTP (and collection system) to minimize the potential for future overflows, its close proximity to surface waters and it location on the Marshall plant site (the treatment plant location restricts a planned steam plant expansion project) made it possible for DPC to justify relocating the WWTP. .
