PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration,
the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity.
Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described
in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES
stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No
Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to
the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions
unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify
the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that
has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this
permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or
approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute
to violations of Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any
other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or
decree.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part II Page 1 of 14

Permit No. NCSo00590
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the
requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substancesin order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date'and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (S) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part II Page 2 of 14

Permit No. NCS000590
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
Part II Page 3 of 14

Permit No. NCS000590
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here:
httde .nc. ov about divisions ener -mineral-land-resources ener -
mineral-land-permits/stormwater-permits/npdes-industrial-sw).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (S) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.
Part II Page 4 of 14

Permit No. NCS000590
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the
permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
Z Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
Part II Page 5 of 14

Permit No. NCS000590
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid -results within the monitoring period.

Footn¢tes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for
implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.

Permit No. NCS000590
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at
a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct
monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow' to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the
option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional
Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three,
including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.
Tier Three
If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or
are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the
permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
analytical results;
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in'Table 4 (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative
monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor
because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on
the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs
discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See
Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

process until a new permit is issued.
Z Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(00) regardless of representative outfall status.
Part II Page 9 of 14

Permit No. NCSOOOS90
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential
sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the
permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

the permit prompt monthly sampling), until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this
permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions
under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in
Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within
the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (00) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge may
be substituted for an on -site reading.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part If
Section B.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark
values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part
II Section B.

If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may
approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects.
SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS
Renresen�ative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume
and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measureable
storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All
samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of
water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this permit shall not be changed without
notification to and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.410)].
Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee
shall record the following information [40 CFR 122.411:
a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements;
b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements;
c. The date(s) analyses were performed;
d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses;
e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and
f. The results of such analyses.
3. Flow Measurements
Where required, appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted
scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements
of the volume of monitored discharges.
4. Teat PrQc de ures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations
published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the
minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge
requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting
level) approved method must be used.
5. Representative Outfall
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that
are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status.
If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is
granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced
number of outfalls.

Dear Mr. Patterson: b I 1011MWATER P
Duke Energy Progress, LLC's received the subject draft permit on June 6, 2017. In accordance
with the review and comment aspects of the transmittal, please accept the following comments
on the draft permit:
1. Please address the permit transmittal to the following:
Mr. Karl Moser, Plant Manager
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
P.O. Box 10429
Southport, NC 28461
2. Please consider the effective date of NCS000590 to be the first day of the month following
the issuance of the NPDES Stormwater Permit. This approach allows a clean separation
(as opposed to a partial month) between any existing stormwater related obligations of
existing process NPDES Permit No. NC0007064 and the new requirements of NPDES
Permit No. NCS000590. This approach will also provide additional time to ensure the facility
is properly prepared to assure compliance with new monitoring and/or reporting obligations
associated with the new industrial stormwater permit.
3. Part II of the draft permit indicates fifteen (15) pages but there is no page fifteen (15) in the
copy provided. If there is a page 15 of 15 for Part II, it was not included with the draft permit
and we request such content be provided for review. Otherwise, the footer should be

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a descr_ilition of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be�expe/ded,t o contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview -shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle:map or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in � lion to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving water to,whieh the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to Smunicipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and th fuftimate-receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of'stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location,map:(or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving/waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is'located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part II Page 1 of 15

Permit No. NCS000590
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the
requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a)
Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and
the methods of operations and/or storage
of materials and processes to rainfall and

(b) Secondary Containment Requireme� i tss and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Sup erfundAmendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage•in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained.A the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance,systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part II Page 2 of 15

Permit No. NCS000590
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff`thrdugh spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations.nThe SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and`Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be-sufficient.to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common.elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good,Hougekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping p�ogra`m,shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address ll stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site d`dja\ccent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading andlnload{ng areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existm&st`ructural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance and -housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment; facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
Part it Page 3 of 15

Permit No. NCS000590
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an a l v�basis. The annual update
n shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills
(3) years, or the notation that no

(d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the-past.yearincluding a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report {DMR] form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's we site,( -See 'Monitoring Forms' here:
mineral-land-permits/stormwater-permits /npdes-industrial-sw).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event attach
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the
permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified helow in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
Part II Page 5 of 15

Permit No. NCS000590
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 11I, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until eitheranother permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded �The,permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline,(180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewallpermit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the salfipling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or"No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annuallf per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

monthly monitoring at every outfall where.a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
consecutive samples. Monthly (analyti ahand qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are;laelbw the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2•and,3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the
option of contacting the DEMLR'Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional
Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three,
including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.
Tier Three
If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or
are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the
permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
analytical results;
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on
receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4 (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative
monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below]. Inability to monitor
because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on
the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs
discharging stormwater associated with industrial 'activity must.be monitored (See
Definitions). x
In the event an atypical condition is noted

Adverse Weather
Adverse conditions are those that are dangerous or create inaccessibility for personnel, such as local
flooding, high winds, or electrical storms, or situations that otherwise make sampling impractical.
When adverse weather conditions prevent the collection of samples during the sample period, the
permittee must take a substitute sample or perform a visual assessment during the next qualifying
storm event. Documentation of an adverse event (with date, time and written narrative) and the
rationale must be included with SPPP records. Adverse weather�does not exempt the permittee from
having to file a monitoring report in accordance with the sampling schedule. Adverse events and
failures to monitor must also be explained and reported on the relevantiDMR.
Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges

2. At times when the system demand is within 200 MW of available system reserves, the
Permittee may suspend flow limitations upon notice to the Regional Supervisor. Notice
shall include anticipated flow rates and an estimate of the duration of flow rates in excess
of those otherwise allowed.
The Daily Maximum flow limit is suspended for twenty-four hours after changing once -

Confusion has also arisen with the language regarding the grab sampling for Total Residual
Chlorine for Outfall 001. The sampling point for Outfall 001 is the quiescent forebay to the
effluent pump station (Caswell Beach Pump Station) prior to the ocean outfall. The existing
language references "multiple grab samples" but should only reference a single grab sample).
Please consider the following suggested language:
CHLORINE — There shall be no discharge of Total Residual Chlorine (total residual oxidants) at
the ocean outfall. Total Residual Chlorine or total residual oxidants are to be measured monthly
at the Caswell Beach Pump Station by a grab sample.
Sanitary Waste Treatment - Outfall 004
Duke Energy Progress, LLC respectfully requests Flow be removed as a Monthly Average
Discharge Limitation. The effect of this change will be similar to other outfalls whereby flow is
not a specific limit, but will be monitored, and the performance standards for the effluent will
govern the quality of the discharge. This is consistent with 15A NCAC 02B .0508(d) and the
Federal Effluent Guidelines. These performance standards are protective of public health and
the environment.
If this approach is not possible, the Monthly Average Discharge Limitation should remain at
0.055 MGD.

Addendum A — Alternate Schedule Request 316(b) of the Clean Water Act

Duke Energy Progress, LLC
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NCO007064
ADDENDUM A
Alternate Schedule Request §316(b) of the Clean Water Act
Final regulations to establish requirements for cooling water intake structures at existing
facilities were published in the Federal Register on August 15, 2014 (i.e. regulations
implementing §316(b) of the Clean Water Act) with an effective date of October 14, 2014. Per
§ 125.91(a)(1)-(3) Applicability, the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant is subject to the
requirements at §125.94through §125.99(316(b) requirements) based on the following:
— The facility is defined as an existing facility (i.e. commenced construction prior to
January 17, 2002);
-- The facility is a point source discharge;
— The facility uses a cooling water intake with a design intake flow (DIF) of greater than 2
million gallons per day (MGD) to withdraw water from waters of the U.S.; and
Twenty-five percent or more of the water withdraws on an actual intake flow basis are
exclusively used for cooling purposes.
Per §125.9B(b) Permitting requirements, 316(b) requirements are implemented through the
NPDES permit. Facilities subject to the final rule are required to develop and submit application
materials identified at §122.21(r). The actual intake flow (AIF) of the facility determines which
submittals will be required. Facilities with an AIF of 125 MGD or less are required to submit
material identified at §122.21(r)(2)-(8), whereas, facilities with an AIF greater than or equal to
125 MGD are required to submit materials presented in §122.21(r)(9)-(13), in addition to
information identified at §122.21(r)(2)-(8). The AlF at Brunswick is above the 125 MGD
threshold; therefore, the following 316(b) submittals are required:
• §122.21(r)(2) Source Water Physical Data
• §122.21(r)(3) Cooling Water Intake Structure Data
• §122.21(r)(4) Source Water Baseline Biological Characterization Data
• §122.21(r)(5) Cooling Water System Data
• §122.21(r)(6) Chosen Method(s) of Compliance with Impingement Mortality Standard
• §122.21(r)(7) Entrainment Performance Studies
• § 122.21(r)(8) Operational Status
• §122.21(r)(9) Entrainment Characterization Study
• §122.21(r)(10) Comprehensive Technical Feasibility and Cost Evaluation Study
• §122.21(r)(11) Benefits Valuation Study
• §122.21(r)(12) Non -water Quality and Other Environmental Impacts Study
• §122.21(r)(13) Peer Review
The regulation states the owner of a facility whose current effective permit expires after July 14,
2018, must submit the above information when applying for a subsequent permit and the owner

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0007064
of a facility whose current effective permit expires on or before July 14, 2018 may request an
alternate schedule for the submission of the above information'. Duke Energy would like to
request the above information, with the exception of §122.21(r)(6) Chosen Method(s) of
Compliance with Impingement Mortality Standard, for Brunswick Steam Electric Plant to be
required with the subsequent permit renewal application due after July 14, 2018.
Since Brunswick Steam Electric Plant is subject to the entrainment best technology available
(BTA) determination, a compliance schedule to complete §122.21(r)(6) Chosen Method(s) of
Compliance with Impingement Mortality Standard will be requested to be included in the permit
upon issuance of the entrainment BTA determination2.
Significant work has been completed on reducing both impingement and entrainment and
ongoing entrainment and impingement studies are required to demonstrate these reductions at
Brunswick. However, the recently finalized 316(b) rule request information and evaluations that
were not previously required. Specifically, information requested in §122.21(r)(6) — r(12) are
additional reports and studies that will need to be conducted and developed. In addition, the
regulations require the §122.21(r)(10), §122.21(r)(11), and §122.21(r)(12) studies to be peer
reviewed, which will require additional time to complete upon finalizing these studies.
Additionally, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) — Headquarters (HQ)
have indicated guidance is being prepared to assist in interpreting and implementing the rule
requirements, however, this guidance is not expected to be issued until the 316(b) litigation is
completed, which is not expected to occur until 2017. The alternate schedule, therefore, is
justified. A summary of these reasons are as follows:
• The historical entrainment data will need to be reviewed to ensure the data meets the
requirements of §122.21(r)(9) . If additional analyses are required based on this review,
it is expected that the analysis would need to be completed over a two-year period. This
review will, also, involve concurrence from both the Peer Reviewer and the state.
• Preparation of the reports to satisfy §122.21(r)(10), (11) and (12) based on guidance
expected to be provided by USEPA, which is not expected to be issued until 2017. It is
prudent to wait to develop these submittals once the guidance is issued to avoid
unnecessary re -work.
• For the §122.21(r)(13) Peer Review, Duke Energy estimates this could take up to 12
months to complete. This, also, takes into account the other six Duke Energy stations
that will be undergoing the peer review process concurrently.

Duke Energy Progress, LLC
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NCO007064
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) has previously determined
Brunswick fully meets the 316(b) requirements of the CWA. This is documented in the current
permit under condition A.(9), which states:
"A. (9.) 3J 6 (b) REQUIREMENTS
Impingement and entrainment studies conducted for the past 20 years indicate
that the facility's operation and maintenance of cooling water intake structure
(CWIS) is consistent with the intent of 40 CFR 401.14. The Permittee shall
continue to properly operate and maintain the CWIS."
Duke Energy intends to demonstrate through the framework established under the recently
issued regulation that the existing conditions at Brunswick continue to meet both the
impingement and entrainment BTA standards under the rule.

Form 2C — Item 11-B Flows, Sources of Pollution, and Treatment Technologies
The Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), located approximately 2.5 miles north of
Southport, North Carolina, consists of two General Electric boiling water nuclear reactors
with a combined maximum dependable capacity of 1,875 MW. Cooling water for the plant
is drawn from the Cape Fear River and discharges into the Atlantic Ocean approximately
2,000 feet off -shore. In addition to cooling water, all other waste streams at the plant
ultimately discharge to the Atlantic Ocean.
Chemical constituents contained in this discharge will, in part, be representative of
the naturally occurring chemical quality and quantity of the intake water and will
also have chemical constituents of such quality associated with similar discharges
for nuclear generating facilities of this size, type, and in this geographical location.
Either all or part of the elements in the Periodic Table, either singularly or in any
combination, may from time to time be contained in the discharge.
Each component of the discharge is described below.
Once -Through Cooling Water Service Water Outfali 001
Cooling water is withdrawn from the Cape Fear River via an intake canal. At the point
where the intake canal intersects the river, a diversion fence screens out larger organisms.
The intake structure for once -through cooling water has 42 fine mesh screen panels and 8
coarse mesh screen panels rotating in front of all four pump bays for each unit. Normal
operating configuration is for 3 CWIPs to be in service at all times for each unit, for a total
of 126 fine mesh screen panels and 24 coarse mesh screen panels in service per unit.
The 4`" pump bay for each unit will be maintained with the with the same number of fine
mesh and coarse mesh screen panels as the other three pump bays, such that if the 411'
pump is put into service, there will be no impact to the number of fine or coarse mesh
screen panels in operation. Aquatic organisms impinged on the traveling screens are
washed off and returned to the estuary. The once -through cooling water discharge
consists of water that has circulated through the condensers of Units 1 and 2. The
temperature rise over the condenser is approximately 151, - 30" Fahrenheit. The service
water is used to cool heat exchangers associated with the turbine and reactor closed
cooling water systems. The temperature rise of the service water is approximately 100
Fahrenheit. Both of these systems discharge to the Atlantic Ocean via the 5.4-mile
effluent channel and pumping station at Caswell Beach. Prior to entering the plant, both
cooling water and service water are chlorinated to minimize bio-fouling in the piping, heat
exchangers, and other plant components.
The once -through cooling water pump flows will be verified periodically during the
operating cycle. If a significant difference is found between the flow rates, the once-

Duke Energy Progress, LLC

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0007064
through cooling water pumps/valves will be adjusted during upcoming maintenance or
refueling outages to reflect the appropriate flow rate. In addition, flow will be verified after
changing pump/valve configurations if needed.
Since the source of the cooling water and service water is near the mouth of the Cape
Fear River, the chemical constituents of the discharge are representative of the water in
the river. The chemical constituents, in quality and quantity, are subject to many variables
such as tides, rainfall, and other discharges to the river.
Radwaste Treatment (Outfall 003)
The radwaste treatment system is designed to collect, store, and process any radioactive
(or potentially radioactive) liquids associated with operation of the nuclear power plant.
These low volume waste streams are collected in tanks and sampled for radioactivity prior
to discharging to the effluent channel. A representative tanks is also sampled for TSS and
oil and grease in accordance with the NPDES permit. The tanks are discharged
intermittently, one at a time, at a rate of up to 200 gpm. Flow rates are identified on EPA
Form 2C Item II C. Radioactive components of releases are regulated by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission. These tanks are described below:
Floor Drain Sample Tanks and Waste Sample Tanks (23,000 gal. capacity each)
These tanks receive the majority of the radwaste, primarily from in -plant drains
and sumps, which contain high purity water. After the water is treated by
demineralization and filtration, it is either recycled back into the plant or released.
Detergent Drain Tanks (1,200 gal. capacity) - This tank receives water from
showers and other in -plant drains that may collect water used for general
cleaning purposes and is treated by filtration prior to release.
Salt_ Water Release Tank (34,250 gal. capacity) - This tank receives water used
for general cleaning purposes and water that leaks into the plant from the cooling
and service water systems, as well as waste water from the turbine building air
wash system which cools and removes humidity from the air that is re -circulated
through the turbine buildings. The water is treated by filtration prior to release.
Sanitary Waste Treatment (Outfalls 004 & 010)
The BSEP is served by a 0.055 million gallons per day (MGD) extended aeration sewage
treatment plant consisting of two separate package trains connected to serve as one plant
or two separate trains with one discharge. Aerated sludge is disposed of off -site via a
contract disposal firm.

Duke Energy Progress, LLC
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0007064
The Brunswick Support Facilities are supported by a 0.036 MGD extended aeration
sewage treatment plant consisting of two separate package trains connected to serve as
one plant or two separate trains with one discharge. Aerated sludge is disposed of off -site
via a contract disposal firm.
The BSEP is currently planning a consolidation of the two existing extended aeration
sewage package plants. In addition to the consolidation, a hydraulic expansion is being
incorporated into the design to accommodate higher flows experienced during BSEP
outages. The firm rated capacity of the new and expanded sanitary treatment plant is
anticipated to be 0.150 MGD.
Low Volume Waste (Outfall 005)
The current Storm Drain Stabilization Pond (low volume waste pond) is approximately 39
acres and holds approximately 47 million gallons. The pond collects rainwater and water
from miscellaneous low volume waste drains. When sufficient water has accumulated in
the pond, it is released through an underfiow/overflow standpipe and valve at the rate of
up to 1,000 gpm. The released water flows into the intake canal at a point approximately
500 yards from the intake pumps, where it is drawn into the plant circulating and service
water system, and eventually released into the effluent channel. (It is not possible for low
volume wastes to flow out to the river due to the proximity of the discharge point to the
intake pumps.) Wastewater may be retained in the Low Volume Retention Pond for up to
approximately three months before discharge. Treatment consists of sedimentation,
evaporation, neutralization, and transpiration (due to profuse plant growth in the pond).
Low volume sources and storm water from almost all of the plant yard discharges into the
Storm Drain Collection Basin prior to being routed to the Low Volume Retention Pond.
The Storm Drain Collection Basin is equipped with an oil skimmer for treatment of the
effluent prior to discharge to the Low Volume Retention Pond. Although chemical
treatment of the waste is not a general practice, there are provisions for neutralizing the
waste in the collection basin, if necessary, using caustic or acid.
There are eight sources, which are routed to the low volume waste system (Outfall 005) or
(Outfall 011), including both intermittent and routine flows. These sources are described
below.
1. Auxiliary Boiler Systems
The plant operates one auxiliary boiler to generate steam as necessary for
various plant systems. Less than 50 gallons/week are discharged from this
system as routine blowdown. About once a year, the boiler is drained and
inspected, resulting in approximately 3,500 gallons of wastewater per event.

Duke Energy Progress, LLC
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NCO007064
2. HVAC Coolina Towers
An HVAC cooling tower is used to cool each of the two Turbine Buildings.
The towers blow down approximately 6.4 gpm to the Storm Drain Collector
Basin.
3. Demineralized Water System
The purpose of the Mobile Make Up Water Treatment Unit (MMWTU) is to
provide ultra pure demineralized water for the BSEP. Demineralized water
is used throughout the BSEP for many purposes. Some of which include the
Fuel Pool make up, precoat tank fill, and cooling for pump bearings. The
MMWTU system is also the primary supply to the Condensate Storage
Tanks. The demineralized system is a reverse osmosis (RO) based system
with demineralizers for final polishing, using county water as the raw influent
water. The truck -mounted system takes county water from the site potable
water system after passing through the charcoal bed. The demineralized
system produces product water along with a brine concentrate that is
drained to the storm drain system at a pH of 6.0-8.0. Amount of usage for
product water, not including brine and rinse water, is 11 million gallons per
year at normal flow and 12 million gallons at high flow. This creates a brine
solution of 5.7 million gallons a year. Brine water consists of concentrated
contaminants of the county water system. Some additives are used to
enhance the system performance. Approximately 450 Ibs of sodium
hydroxide per year is used for Chlorine destruction, and approximately 50
lbs per year of polyaluminum chloride and 50 gallons per year of
Hypersperse MDC 150 are used as an antifoulant. Rinses are done when
the system is started up, this is done by dumping product water and brine
water together until product water reaches certain parameters. Rinses are
approximately 225,000 gallons per year. There is approximately one
chemical cleaning a year for the RO membranes. The rinse consists of 70
Ibs/yr of GE Water Kleen MCT 103, and 70 Ibs/yr of GE Water Kleen MCT
511. The rinses are drained to the storm drain system at a pH of 8.0-9.0.
4. Standby Liquid Control_ Test Tank
This 210 gallon tank contains demineralized water and occasionally, Borax
and boric acid. The tank is released quarterly, if the levels exceed 10 ppm
Boron.
5. Turbine Building Closed Cooling Water
During each refueling cycle, (approximately once every 24 months), one
heat exchanger containing approximately 2,100 gallons of water may be
drained. Occasionally, a system feed and bleed is required to maintain
Chemistry control. This process may release up to 4,500 gallons.

Duke Energy Progress, LLC
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number NC0007064
6. Diesel Generator Cooling Water System
Minor sources of non -potable water leaks from this generator system (four
diesel generators) and drains into the collection basin. Additionally, the
cooling water system is drained periodically for maintenance (Approximately
900 to 1000 gallons).
7. Maintenance Activities
During maintenance activities at the facility it may become necessary to
drain all or some portion thereof of the following plant systems; service
water, circulating water, potable water, and demineralized water.
Maintenance activities at the facility may also require flushing of system
piping with the discharge to the storm drain system. In addition, the facility
may find it necessary to wash equipment with demineralized water with
the discharge to storm drains.
8. Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)
An ISFSI vault was installed at the facility in 2009. Storm water runoff
from the concrete surface and concrete vault will be collected and pumped
to either of the active storm drain stabilization ponds. None of the spent
fuel rods housed in the vault will come in contact with the storm water
runoff, the runoff is expected to have characteristics similar to that of any
other impervious surface (concrete) runoff.
Storm Drain Stabilization Facility Pond (Outfall 011)
The Storm Drain Stabilization Facility Pond is approximately 3.7 acres, hold approximately
6 million gallons of water, and discharges on a weekly basis during normal operation.
Discharges can be more or less frequent depending upon storm water input. When
sufficient water has accumulated in the pond, it is released through an underflowloverflow
standpipe and valve at the rate of up to 1,000 gpm for approximately one week, or as
needed. The Storm Drain Stabilization Facility Pond has a graded native soil berm with a
geotextile liner, a lower HDPE liner, Geonet drainage layer and detection/collection sumps,
leak detection layer and an upper HDPE liner. The Storm Drain Stabilization Facility Pond
has a Parshall flume weir and sampling station located downstream of the outfall riser
structure. This Facility has the same inputs as Outfall 005 as the normal configuration.
Ground Water Well Extraction System (Outfall 012)
In March of 2011, 92 ground water extraction wells onsite began operating to remove
approximately 52,000 gpd of tritated ground water from the site. The wells discharge into
the intake canal through Outfall 012, or to the Storm Drain Stabilization Facility Pond
(Outfall 011). The discharge will consist of the extracted groundwater and approximately
27,000 gallons of seepage water from a sock drain system.

Other Discharges
In addition to cooling water, service water, sanitary waste, low volume waste, and
radwaste, there are a few miscellaneous discharges (or potential discharges) at the BSEP:
• Emergency storm drain collection basin overflow to the effluent channel used as
necessary to prevent flooding in the plant area.
• Intake screen backwash, as required, to operate the cooling water system.

Attachment 7
Form 2F — Item IV-B Narrative Description
The enclosed site stormwater map displays the areas of Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
(BSEP) from which stormwater discharges to Nancy's Creek. Stormwater from other
areas of the site discharges to either the intake canal, which is pumped into the discharge
canal via the Unit 1 and Unit 2 condensers or the discharge canal, ultimately discharging
into the Atlantic Ocean via Outfall 001 which is covered by the wastewater NPDES permit
for the facility.
No significant materials have been treated, stored or disposed in the drainage areas for
Stormwater outfalls 007, 008, and 009 in the past three years.
Stormwater Outfall 007
Outfall 007 receives stormwater from the Clean Materials Processing Area and the area
around the Meteorological Tower. Major components in the Clean Material Processing
Area include the waste processing building, a trash compactor, chemical storage building,
materials storage building, and recycle containers for wood, aluminum drink cans, steel,
copper, and aluminum. No pesticides, herbicides, soil conditioners, or fertilizers are
applied in the drainage of this outfall.
Stormwater Outfall 008
Outfall 008 receives rainwater from the switchyard area, the asphalt road on the west side
of the plant and the surrounding wooded areas. No pesticides, herbicides, soil
conditioners, or fertilizers are applied in the drainage area of this outfall.
Stormwater Outfall 009
Outfall 009 receives water from the Materials Control laydown areas and the Container
Van Storage Area. The Materials Control laydown area is us for the storage of plastics
and metal. No pesticides, herbicides, soil conditioners, or fertilizers are applied in the
remaining drainage area of this outfall.

No conventional treatment will be provided for the storm water discharging from storm
water outfalls 007, 008, and 009. Prior to discharging to Nancy's Creek storm water from
these outfalls flows over vegetative buffers which provide some filtering of sediment from
the storm water.

Brunswick County
'i'he Division evaluated your request to consolidate stormwater outfalls sampling requirements and to allow
for grab sampling instead of composite sampling for the permit renewal application. The Division agrees that
outfall 007 can be used as a representative outfall for outfalls 008 and 009. Outfalls 008 and 009 collect
stormwater from similar areas as Outfall 007. Composite samples shall be obtained as specified in 40 CFR
121.22(g)(7)(ii). Although information was submitted comparing composite samples results to grab samples
results, the information is not specific for Me Brunswick site and it is not sufficient tQ—establish that grab samples
wi3l produce similar results than composite samples. If you have any questions please contact Teresa Rodriguez
of the NPDES Unit at [phone]. extension 553.
Sincerely,
