To provide consistency with how we have managed this aspect historically, please go with Option 1— having two columns within the eDMR system for Chlorine Duration (Parameter Code 78739). If the system allows, we would like the columns distinguished by "Unit 1" & "Unit 2" (to ensure no confusion between Units for historical data purposes, if appropriate). Please let us know if any clarifications/additional discussion is needed. Thanks, Don Donald (Don) Safrit, P.E.

I believe either will work, but I'd like your input. His 1) is essentially what I was suggesting, simply adding column[s] in the eDMR report for each unit. OR His 2) recommends using the existing single data port in eDMR to record the longest time of chlorine addition for any one Unit. The Unit number could be recorded in the Comments field. This fits the intent of the permit wording, regardless of Unit. Let me know what you think.

I was thinking we already went through this conversation regarding Chlorine Addition but it may have been with another Duke Energy facility. Question is how do we address the situation where two units may have chlorine addition on the same day and may cumulatively have more than 120 minutes of chlorine addition? If we put 220 on the eDMR (say 120minutes Unit 1 and 100 minutes Unit 2); would an NOV 1 be generated because we only have one column for "minutes" and a maximum limit of 120 minutes for that column. Please explain and let us know how we should handle this situation. Thanks, Don Donald (Don) Safrit, P.E. Senior Environmental Specialist Duke Energy I Permitting and Compliance, Carolinas 410 S.

We inject on both units. Am I misunderstanding how the minutes are supposed to be reported now, or do we need to have another dolumn added to account for each unit? And if another column was added, how would we notate which column was for which unit? Thanks!

From: Safrit, Donald Lee [mailto:Donald.Safrit@duke-energy.com] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2016 8:49 AM Subject: Duke Energy eDMR / Facility Permit Challenges I wanted to check in regarding the status of several Duke Energy NPDES permits and previous requests to reconcile some of the BIMS/eDMR data versus the actual NPDES permit requirements. The following permits have been sent to your attention for reconciliation: McGuire Nuclear— NCO024392 Outfall 001 Effluent - missing Quarterly Toxicity Sampling Acute Composite Parameter Code CER124PF Outfall 002 - Effluent - missing Quarterly Toxicity Sampling Acute Grab Parameter Code CER148AC Outfall 005 - Effluent - has toxicity sampling requirements as monthly Parameter Code CER7DCEV which needs to be removed. Missing quarterly toxicity sampling 7 Day Chronic Parameter Code CER17DPF (Resolved per Bob Sledge email of 11/30/2016) Harris Nuclear— NCO039586 BIMS/eDMR data contains the former NPDES Permit information rather than the information associated with the recently issued permit (effective September 1, 2016 version) (Resolved per Bob Sledge email of 11/30/2016) Riverbend — NC0004961 OUTFALL 002: The Parameter Codes associated with Chronic Toxicity THP3B (percent) and TGP3B (pass/fail) have a sampling frequency of "weekly". The sampling frequency for Chronic Toxicity changes from monthly to weekly as we transition from treating -decant water to interstitial water. Moreover, the footnote for Chronic Toxicity says "Tests shall be conducted in January. April, July and October". Outfall 002 has two sets of toxicity testing requirements. Prior to decanting, the tests are conducted Quarterly (January, April, July, October) with Optional Monthly testing if a Quarterly test has failed. When decanting begins, toxicity is tested Weekly, with Optional Weekly sampling if a test is failed. RIMS has been corrected to show both sets of test requirements. Only the pre -decant testing requirements are now in effect. It should be noted that the above concerns are based upon the permit anticipated to be issued soon and its anticipated effective date of December 1, 2016. There is no permit application currently in-house for NC0004961. The existing permit took effect on 3/1/2016. Additionally, we have noted the below mentioned challenges and want to bring them to your attention for action as well: Allen — NC0004979 Outfall 002: BIMS/eDMR template has Chronic Toxicity frequency of Monthly. Current permit requires Quarterly Toxicity. Which parameter code? Two are listed? As Bob Sledge explained in his earlier message, the Quarterly parameter code is for the mandatory tests. The Monthly code is for follow-up tests taken when a Quarterly test is failed. The Monthly code is optional, meaning no violations will occur if no data is submitted. Outfall 005: BIMS/eDMR template has Total Se Selenium. BIMS shows Monthly Selenium monitoring for requirements, IT will need to resolve the discri frequency of weekly. Current permit requires Monthly Total 11005, effective 3/1/2011. If the eDMR system has different Rogers- NC 0005088 Outfall 002: Downstream (if required) at Gaffney Water Works limit should be 89.6 F. eDMR has limit of 95 F. BIMS has Monthly Average limit Downstream as 89.62 F. The effluent limit is 952 F. If the eDMR system has different requirements, IT will need to resolve the discrepancy. Outfall 002: Parameter code difference for TSS (C0530-eDMR/00530 currently submitted), Total Nitrogen (C0600 eDMR vs 00600 current), Total Phosphorus (C0665 eDMR vs 00665 current), Total Mercury (COMER eDMR vs 71900 current) Outfall 004: parameter code difference for TSS (C0530 eDMR vs 00530 current) The codes beginning with "CO" are for concentration -based limits and/or monitoring. Several permits have limits and/or monitoring that is both concentration -based (CO) and massed -based (Q). BIMS n_ eeds different c_ odes to properly evaluate the data. Use the codes in eDMR for those parameters. Asheville- NC 0000396 Outfall 001: Some time back, Asheville was requ addendum information and results forele ein a where should this information be entered?

Confirmed with Environmental Testing SHOULD NOT APPLY to the Asheville facility. Should it be removed The parameter code is TGP3B, not TCP3B. TGP313 is the freshwater test required by section A. (6.) of NC0000396, which includes the following text: "using the parameter code TGP313 for the pass/fail results and TBP313 for the Chronic Va_lu_e" If the eDMR system has different requirements, IT will need to resolve the discrepancy. NPDES is currently working on the following items related.to Duke eDMRs: A ticket was submitted to IT requesting creation oaf a parameter code for "Duration of Chlorine Addition", which is required in several permits. Once the code is available, that parameter will be added to the affected permits. A ticket was submitted to IT requesting creation oaf Sutton Lake as a waterbody in BIMS for permit NC0001422. IT replied that they did not provide that service. NPDES will contact Planning to have Sutton Lake added to BIMS. A ticket was submitted tot IT requesting creation replied that they did not provide that service. N CHW Railroad Branch as a waterbody in BIMS for permit NC0003468.
