Outfall #001: Radwaste Treatment System- SIC #4911 (Piped to Missouri River)

This liquid radwaste system serves to collect, process, store, recycle and discharge treated waste water generated at Callaway. In addition, radioactive solids removed by this system are prepared for disposal and transported to a licensed off- site disposal facility.

The Boron Recycle System receives reactor coolant for the purpose of recovering the boric acid for reuse in the plant. Boric acid is used as a neutron absorber/moderator in the primary loop. The Liquid Radwaste System collects and processes floor and equipment drains from the containment, auxiliary building, fuel building and radwaste buildings during normal operation. The Laundry and Hot Shower system collects waste generated from washing radioactively contaminated protective gear and clothing and personnel decontamination shower wastewater. These wastes are then transferred to the liquid Radwaste system for treatment. The Secondary Liquid Waste system is used to process condensate demineralizer regeneration wastes and potentially radioactive liquid waste collected from the turbine building. The condensate demineralizer regeneration waste is divided into two waste streams; High TDS waste from the acid and caustic rinses used when chemically regenerating spent resin, and low TDS waste which results from the initial backflushing of unregenerated resin and the final rinsing of the regenerated resin to remove acid and caustic substances.

Steam Generator Blowdown is normally recycled back to the main condenser for reuse in the secondary cycle. Provisions also exist to discharge the treated blowdown via #001.The following wastewater treatment systems are used as required to treat this waste stream for recycle or discharge in compliance with NRC requirements and are also available as auxiliary or backup treatment systems to treat this discharge for compliance with NPDES permit limitations: Evaporation and/or Mixing and/or Filtration and/or Carbon Absorption and/or Ion Exchange and/or Neutralization and/or Reuse/Recycle of Treated Effiuent. All processing in the Radwaste Treatment System is done on a batch basis except steam generator blowdown. After monitoring for radioactive content, release rates are controlled administratively to ensure the "as low as practicable" radioactive discharge criteria are met.

Design flow is 0.190 MGD Daily average flow is 0.054 MGD.

Cooling Tower Blowdown (Piped to Missouri River)

This outfall consists of water from the Circulating Water System, the Service Water System, and the Essential Service Water (ESW)

System. Blowdown from the cooling tower is necessary to maintain the dissolved solids concentration in the recirculating water system within acceptable operating limits. The ESW System is not routinely used, however water from the ESW System does mix with the other systems as it is periodically run to demonstrate operability. Additionally, the ESW System can be used to maintain proper freeboard in the ultimate heat sink pond (Outfall #017) by transferring water to the Service Water System.

Design flow is 14.4 MGD.

Daily average flow is 5.37 MGD.

Outfall #003: Water Treatment Plant Wastes (Piped to Missouri River)

Outfall #003 consists of supernatant from a wastewater treatment lagoon that treats wastewater to remove solids. The wastewater that is treated in the lagoon is mainly from the blowdown of accumulated river solids in the water treatment plant clarifiers. The sand and carbon filter backwash, oil water separator and demineralizer system wastewater is also routed to this treatment lagoon. The oil water separator flow consists of wastewater from some plant sumps as well as flow from an oil recovery well that is being used to remediate a historic on-site release. Outfall #003 is normally recycled by routing it back to the head of the water treatment plant, averaging 0.42 MGD.

Design flow is 1.645 MGD.

Part I - Facility Information Facility Type: Industrial Facility SIC Code(s): 4911-Electrical Power Generation FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

Ameren Missouri-Callaway Energy Center is a steam electrical generation plant primarily engaged in the generation of electricity for distribution and sale. The Callaway Energy Center is located outside Fulton, MOon 7,200 acres. Ameren leases 6,300 acres of their property to the Missouri Department of Conservation for the Reform Conservation Area. The plant consists of one generating unit with a capability of 1,190 megawatts (MW). Annual production is 9.8-10.7 million MW-hours. This facility has twelve (12) permitted features. Callaway Energy Center pipes its major discharges back to the Missouri River, approximately 5 miles away. Intake water comes from the Missouri River at Mile Marker 115.4.

Callaway Energy Center uses a Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant System (SNUPPS), using a Westinghouse four-loop pressurized water reactor and a Alstom turbine-generator. The plant went fully operational in 1984. For more information is available on the NRC webpages: http://www.nrc.gov/info-finder/reactor/call.html and http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ops-experience/tritiurnlplant-specific-reports/call.html.

AM EREN MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M0-009800 1, CALLAWAY COUNTY FACTSHEET, PAGE 2 Chemical Usage at the Plant In the renewal application, Ameren provided a list of chemicals used or stored onsite at Callaway. All chemicals used are covered under the facility's Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan. Ameren may want to incorporate the spill plan in with the stormwater prevention pollution plan, to ensure accidental releases are controlled onsite.

Outfall #001: Radwaste Treatment System The Radwaste Treatment System is made up of five subsystems: the boron recycle system, the liquid radwaste system, the laundry and hot shower system, secondary liquid waste, and the steam generator blowdown.

This liquid radwaste system serves to collect, process, store, recycle and discharge treated waste water generated at Callaway.

In addition, radioactive solids removed by this system are prepared for disposal and transported to a licensed off-site disposal facility. Five general sub-systems can be defined as described below.

o The Boron Recycle System receives reactor coolant for the purpose of recovering the boric acid for reuse in the plant.

Boric acid is used as a neutron absorber/moderator in the primary loop.

o The Liquid Radwaste System collects and processes floor and equipment drains from the containment, auxiliary building, fuel building and radwaste buildings during normal operation. .

o The Laundry and Hot Shower system collects waste generated from washing radioactively contaminated protective gear and clothing and personnel decontamination shower wastewater. These wastes are then transferred to the liquid Radwaste system for treatment.

o The Secondary Liquid Waste system is used to process condensate demineralizer regeneration wastes and potentially radioactive liquid waste collected from the turbine building. The condensate demineralizer regeneration waste is divided into two waste streams; High TDS waste from the acid and caustic rinses used when chemically regenerating spent resin, and low TDS waste which results from the initial backflushing of unregenerated resin and the final rinsing of the regenerated resin to remove acid and caustic.

o Steam Generator Blowdown is normally recycled back to the main condenser for reuse in the secondary cycle.

Provisions also exist to discharge the treated blowdown via #00 1.

The following wastewater treatment systems are used as required to treat this waste stream for recycle or discharge in compliance with NRC requirements and are also available as auxiliary or backup treatment systems to treat this discharge for compliance with NPDES permit limitations: Evaporation and/or Mixing and/or Filtration and/or Carbon Absorption and/or Ion Exchange and/or Neutralization and/or Reuse/Recycle of Treated Effluent. All processing in the Radwaste Treatment System is done on a batch basis except steam generator blowdown. After monitoring for radioactive content, release rates are controlled administratively to ensure the "as low as practicable" radioactive discharge criteria are met.

The radwaste system is designed for flexibility to achieve Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) limits. Actual treatment of any batch of wastewater is determined by

1. the level of radiological contamination and corresponding NRC mandated discharge criteria;

2. NPDES permit discharge limits;

3. the most effective waste treatment scheme that will give the smallest volume of solid radwaste;

4. overall wastestream management; and

5. the need, feasibility, and economics of recycle vs. discharge.

Outfall #002: Cooling Tower The cooling tower at Callaway is 553 feet tall and 430 feet in diameter at the base. It cools approximately 585,000 gallons of water per minute when the facility is operating at full power. About 11 ,000 gallons per minute are lost from the top through evaporation, and up to another 5,000 gallons per minute are sent to the Missouri River as "blowdown" to flush suspended solids from the cooling tower basin. This water is replaced with water from the river, which is five miles south of the energy center. The cooling tower basin holds 11 million gallons of water. The water is 12 feet deep under the tower, and 20 feet deep at the intake to the circulating water pumps that pump the water through the energy center. The temperature of the water going into the tower is 125 °Fahrenheit. The tower cools it to 95°Fahrenheit.

AMEREN MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M0-0098001, CALLAWAY COUNTY FACTSHEET, PAGE 3 Outfall #003: Water Treatment Plant The water treatment plant clarifies Missouri River water for cooling tower makeup and other plant cooling water systems. Sludge from the clarification process is routed through the sedimentation lagoon for solids removal. There are currently 4 sedimentation basins, the fourth being built in 2000 (CP-M026-3351). Callaway submitted a construction permit application December 2014 to build two more sedimentation basins (CPOOO 1707). Demineralizer system waste streams and oil/water separator discharges are routed to the sedimentation basin. The demineralizer waste stream includes wastes generated from resin regeneration; sand and carbon filter backwash, floor drains, and wet well overflows. Outfall #003 has been recycled for more than 15 years by routing back to the head of the water treatment plant. Previously the permit required scheduled monitoring; however this permit reduces the monitoring frequency to when discharging.

With the construction of the new sedimentation lagoons, the discharge and design flow is not expected to increase. The construction permit was issued June 6, 2015. Appendix A-2 contains the flow diagram for Outfall #003.

Outfall #007: Sanitary Wastewater Treatment Plant Primary treatment is provided in a three-cell lagoon. Effluent from the final cell is routed (in series) through two wetland basins. Both the wetlands are constructed wetlands created by conversion of filled water treatment plant sedimentation lagoons. The connection from the discharge of the final wetland to the pump station was made in conjunction with the construction of the sedimentation lagoon

4. Outfall #007 is recycled back to the head of the water treatment plant. Previously the permit required scheduled monitoring; however this permit reduces the monitoring frequency to when discharging.

Outfall #009: Intake Heater Blowdown The river intake structure contains two recirculating electric heaters, which are used to prevent ice formation on the intake bar screens during winter months. This discharge would contain blowdown or drainage from the boilers; however the boilers are currently in dry lay- up and no discharge has occurred in the last 25 years. This outfall remains permitted in case, the boilers were reinstalled, in use, and would need to discharge. Previously the permit required scheduled monitoring; however this permit reduces the monitoring frequency to when discharging.

Outfalls #00 1, #002, and #0 16 are the only process outfalls that discharge; however Ameren wants to main the ability to discharge through Outfalls #003, #007, and #009 if the need exists.

Outfalls #003 and #007 are recycled back through the plant. Since Outfalls #003 and 0007 are operated with recycle, monitoring was changed from scheduled to unscheduled, as a discharge is not expected to occur, the same was done with Outfall #009.

Oil and grease effluent limits were reduced to match the Water Quality Standard of 10 mg/L monthly average. In review of the discharge monitoring reports, the facility could already meet the 10 mg/L limit.

Total residual chlorine effluent limits were converted to micrograms per liter reporting rather than milligrams per liter reporting.

As Outfall #002 as continuous pH monitoring, the provisions from 40 CFR 401.17 which allows for 446 minutes per calendar month of exceedance of pH values, with no individual excursion lasting more than 60 minutes.

Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus monitoring were added on Outfalls #002 and #016 per 10 CSR 20-7.015(9)(D)7.

Stormwater monitoring was reestablished in this permit cycle to verify the best management practices are in place and are being maintained.

For Outfall #001, BOD5 and Oil and Grease monitoring was reduced to quarterly.

For Outfall #002, Oil and Grease monitoring was reduced to quarterly.

There was a typo present in the public notice for BOD 5, monitoring only remains on Outfall #001 for BOD 5*

Total Residual Chlorine for Outfall #001 's monitoring frequency was adjusted to once/week.

Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus monitoring frequency was reduced from the draft operating permit to the minimum required in 10 CSR 20-7.015 on a quarterly basis.

Special condition #16 was updated from the public notice version to reflect that the testing for petroleum products needs to occur on secondary containment containing petroleum products.

As per Missouri's Effluent Regulations [1 0 CSR 20-7.015], the waters of the state are divided into the seven (7) categories. Each category lists effluent limitations for specific parameters, which are presented in each outfall's Effluent Limitation Table and further discussed in the Derivation & Discussion of Limits section. As per Missouri's Stormwater Regulations [10 CSR 20.6.200(6)(B)2.], the department shall establish effluent limits as necessary to protect waters of the state. Effluent limitations for storm water are established using best professional judgment based on the category and designated uses of the receiving stream.

AMEREN*MISSOURI-CALLA WAY ENERGY CENTER M 0-0098001, CALLAWAY COUNTY FACTSHEET, PAGE6 MIXING CONSIDERATIONS- THERMAL:

Missouri's Water Quality Standards [10 CSR 20-7.031(4)(A)l.], specifically state that mixing considerations for toxics do not apply to thermal mixing considerations and that thermal mixing considerations are located in [10 CSR 20-7.031(4)(D)6.], which states thermal mixing considerations are limited to 25% of the cross-sectional area or volume of a river, unless a biological survey performed in accordance with 316( a) of the Clean Water Act indicate no significant adverse effect on aquatic life. For the purpose of mixing considerations, the department typically uses the 25% of the daily flow vs cross-sectional area.

RECEIVING STREAM MONITORING REQUIREMENTS:

Ameren conducts upstream and downstream monitoring as part of their environmental commitments with NRC. Information from that sampling is available in the annual report, http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ops-experience/tritium/plant-specific-reports/call.html.

Part III -Rationale and Derivation of Effluent Limitations & Permit Conditions ALTERNATIVE EVALUATIONS FOR NEW FACILITIES:

As per [10 CSR 20-7.015(4)(A)], discharges to losing streams shall be permitted only after other alternatives including land application, discharges to a gaining stream and connection to a regional wastewater treatment facility have been evaluated and determined to be unacceptable for environmental and/or economic reasons.

v' Not Applicable; The facility does not discharge to a Losing Stream as defined by [10 CSR 20-2.010(36)] &

[10 CSR 20-7.031(l)(N)], or is an existing facility.

ANTI-BACKSLIDING:

A provision in the Federal Regulations [CWA §303(d)(4); CWA §402(c); 40 CFR Part 122.44(1)] that requires a reissued pennit to be as stringent as the previous permit with some exceptions.

v' Limitations in this operating pern1it for the reissuance of this pennit conform to the anti-backsliding provisions of Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and 40 CFR Part 122.44.

v' The Department determines that technical mistakes or mistaken interpretations of law were made in issuing the permit under section 402(a)(l)(b).

This permit changes WET test requirements for the facility from a pass/fail requirement to monitoring only for toxic units. This change reflects modifications to Missouri's Effluent Regulation found at 10 CSR 20-7.015. 40 CFR 122.44(d)(l)(ii) requires the department to establish effluent limitations that control all parameters which have the reasonable potential to cause or contribute to an excursion above any state water quality standard, including state narrative criteria. The previous permit imposed a pass/fail limitation without collecting sufficient data to make a reasonable potential determination. Furthermore, the method of reporting associated with the pass/fail limitation prevented the department from gathering the data necessary to make a finding of reasonable potentiaL Implementation of the toxic unit monitoring requirement will allow the department to implement numeric acute criteria in accordance with water quality standards established under §303 of the CW A.

The WET test from Outfall #00 1 was removed as there is not a lab available to perform the tests.

Outfalls #003 and #007 are operated in recycle mode and have not discharged in 15 years, monitoring was changed from scheduled to unscheduled, as a discharge is not expected to occur, the same was done with Outfall #009 as it has not discharged in 25 years.

Monitoring for oil and grease was reduced from monthly to quarterly, as a review of the previous pem1it discharge monitoring reports do not show an exceedance of the effluent limits.

Biochemical Oxygen Demands was reduced from monthly to quarterly on Outfall #00 I, as Outfall #00 1 does not receive sanitary waste and the BOD5 effluent limit is an indicator parameter. The facility is in compliance with their BOD 5effluent limit.

ANTI DEGRADATION:

In accordance with Missouri's Water Quality Standard [10 CSR 20-7.031(2)], the Department is to document by means of Antidegradation Review that the use of a water body's available assimilative capacity is justified. Degradation is justified by documenting the socio-economic importance of a discharging activity after detem1ining the necessity of the discharge.

v' Renewal no degradation proposed and no further review necessary.

AMEREN MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M 0-009800], CALLAWAY COUNTY FACTSHEET, PAGE 7 BIOSOLIDS & SEWAGE SLUDGE:

Biosolids are solid materials resulting from domestic wastewater treatment that meet federal and state criteria for beneficial uses (i.e. fertilizer). Sewage sludge is solids, semi-solids, or liquid residue generated during the treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment works; including but not limited to, domestic septage; scum or solids removed in primary, secondary, or advanced wastewater treatment process; and a material derived from sewage sludge. Sewage sludge does not include ash generated during the firing of sewage sludge in a sewage sludge incinerator or grit and screening generated during preliminary treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment works. Additional information regarding biosolids and sludge is located at the following web address:

http://extension.missouri.edu/main/DisplayCategory.aspx?C=74, items WQ422 through WQ449 .

../ Not applicable; this condition is not applicable to the permittee for this facility.

COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT:

Enforcement is the action taken by the Water Protection Program (WPP) to bring an entity into compliance with the Missouri Clean Water Law, its implementing regulations, and/or any terms and conditions of an operating permit The primary purpose of the enforcement activity in the WPP is to resolve violations and return the entity to compliance .

../ Not Applicable. The permittee/facility is not currently under Water Protection Program enforcement action.

EFFLUENT LIMIT GUIDELINES:

The EPA in 2009 published the "Steam Electrical Power Generating Point Source Category: Final Detailed Study Report (2009 Final Report). The 2009 Final Report summarizes data collected and analyzed from the EPA to review discharges from steam electrical power generating industry and to determine whether the current effluent guidelines (ELGs) for this industry should be revised. From the 2009 Final Report, it determined a need existed to update the current effluent regulations specific to Steam Electrical Power Generating Point Sources [40 CFR Part 423]. The 2009 Final Report also concluded the last updated version of this 1982 regulation does not adequately address the pollutants being discharged and have not kept pace with changes that have occurred in the power industry. EPA published a draft rule for comment in 2013. EPA has indicated that it will be finalized in September 2015. Nuclear power is included in the Steam Electric Guidelines.

GROUNDWATER MONITORING:

Groundwater Monitoring at Callaway is covered by the NRC environmental plans. Callaway Energy Center has an extensive groundwater monitoring network meeting the industry standard established in NEI 07-07 (http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML0726/ML072610036.pd!). Numerous groundwater monitoring wells have been installed surrounding the power block area to monitor plant systems, structUres, and components. In addition, monitoring wells have been installed along the discharge line and elsewhere on the plant site. Monitoring wells are sampled for tritium and gamma emitters.

Additional information about groundwater monitoring at Callaway is available online through the NRC:

http://pbadupws.nrc. gov/docs/ML0831 /ML083150703. pdf INDUSTRIAL SLUDGE:

Industrial sludge is solids, semi-solids, or liquid residue generated during the treatment of industrial process wastewater in a treatment works; including but not limited to, scum or solids removed in primary, secondary, or advanced wastewater treatment process; scum and solids filtered from water supplies and backwashed; and a material derived from industrial sludge .

../ Not applicable. This condition is not applicable to the permittee for this facility.

INTAKE WATER CREDITS (NET LIMITS):

In accordance with federal regulation 40 CFR 122.45(g), technology-based effluent limitations or standards shall be adjusted to reflect credit for pollutants in the discharge's intake water if: (I) The applicable effluent limitations and standards contained in 40 CFR subchapter N specifically provide that they shall be applied on a net basis; or (2) The discharger demonstrates that the control system it proposes or uses to meet applicable technology-based limitations and standards would, if properly installed and operated, meet the limitations and standards in the absence of pollutants in the intake waters. Additionally, credit for conventional pollutants such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) or total suspended solids (TSS) should not be granted unless the permittee demonstrates that the constituents of the generic measure in the effluent are substantially similar to the constituents of the generic measure in the intake water or unless appropriate additional limits are placed on process water pollutants either at the outfall or elsewhere. Credit shall be granted only to the extent necessary to meet the applicable limitation or standard, up to a maximum value equal to the influent value.

Additional monitoring may be necessary to determine eligibility for credits and compliance with pem1it limits. Credit (Net Limits) do not apply to the discharge of raw water clarifier sludge generated from the treatment of intake water.

As Ameren continuously recycles water through the system, net intake credits are not being granted for Outfalls #00 1, #002, #003,

009 or #0 16. Based on the reasonable potential analysis completed for Out falls #00 I, #002. #009 and #0 16, the facility can meet the effluent previously established without intake credit provisions.

AM EREN MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M 0-009800 I, CALLAWAY COUNTY FACTSHEET, PAGE 8 REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS (RP A):

Federal regulation [40 CFR Part 122.44(d)(l)(i)] requires effluent limitations for all pollutants that are or may be discharged at a level that will cause or have the reasonable potential to cause or contribute to an in-stream excursion above narrative or numeric water quality standard. In accordance with [40 CFR Part 122.44(d)(l)(iii)] if the permit writer determines that any give pollutant has the reasonable potential to cause, or contribute to an in-stream excursion above the WQS, the permit must contain effluent limits for that pollutant .

./ Applicable; a RP A was conducted on appropriate parameters. Please see APPENDIX B: RPA RESULTS.

Pollutants Typically Associated with Steam Electric Industry Discharges:

The US EPA Interim Detailed Study Report for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category (Interim Study Report) utilized available data to characterize the waste streams discharged from steam electric facilities, as well as the technologies and practices used in the industry to control the discharge of waste pollutants (Chapter 5). EPA is expected to release the updated effluent limit guidelines in September 2015. Table 5-1 in Chapter 5 of the Interim Study Report presents an overview of the types of pollutants associated with the various waste streams. Pollutants contained in the Interim Study Report are based on data previously collected by the EPA during the 1974 and 1982 rulemaking efforts and the 1996 Preliminary Data Summary, data provided by the Utility Water Act Group (UWAG) and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Staff has reviewed the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and renewal applications Fom1s C and D for each of the outfalls in this operating permit Effluent testing results contained in Forms C and D for each outfall were compared directly with pollutants associated with the various waste streams for each of the outfalls. Below is the list of pollutants based on process waste streams for this facility:

Cooling Water: Once-Through or Cooling Tower Blowdown (Outfall #002):

Chlorine, Iron, Copper, Nickel, Aluminum, Boron, Chlorinated Organic Compounds, Suspended Solids, Brominated Compounds, and Non-Oxidizing Biocides.

Other Low-Volume Waste Streams (Outfall #001):

Suspended Solids, Dissolved Solids, Oil and Grease, Phosphates, Surfactants, Acidity, Methylene Chloride, Phthalates, BOD5 , COD, Fecal Coliform and Nitrates.

For the above pollutants, staff drafting this operating permit only compared the applicable pollutants based on Missouri's Water Quality Standards criteria and designated uses. For any of the outfalls that do not contain one of the process wastewater types above, these pollutants were not reviewed (i.e., Outfalls #003 - #0 15). For storm water outfalls, staff drafting this permit and fact sheet reviewed the applicable Forms 2F, C, and D to determine if effluent from this outfall had potential to exceed Missouri's Water Quality Standards for the tested pollutants.

SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE (SOC):

A schedule of remedial measures included in a permit, including an enforceable sequence of interim requirements (actions, operations, or milestone events) leading to compliance with the Missouri Clean Water Law, its implementing regulations, and/or the terms and conditions of an operating permit.

./ Not Applicable. This permit does not contain a SOC.

SPILL REPORTING:

Per 10 CSR 24-3.010, any emergency involving a hazardous substance must be reported to the department's 24 hour2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months Environmental Emergency Response hotline at (573) 634-2436 at the earliest practicable moment after discovery. The department may require the submittal of a written report detailing measures taken to clean up a spill. These reporting requirements apply whether or not the spill results in chemicals or materials leaving the permitted property or reaching waters of the state. This requirement is in addition to the Noncompliance Reporting requirement found in Standard Conditions Part I.

STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (S\VPPP):

In accordance with 40 CFR 122.44(k) Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control or abate the discharge of pollutants when:

(1) Authorized under section 304(e) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) for the control of toxic pollutants and hazardous substances from ancillary industrial activities: (2) Authorized under section 402(p) of the CWA for the control of storm water discharges; (3) Numeric effluent limitations are infeasible; or (4) the practices are reasonably necessary to achieve effluent limitations and standards or to carry out the purposes and intent of the CW A. In accordance with the EPA's De1*eloping Your Stormwa{er Pollution Prevention Plan, A Guide for Industrial Operators, (Document number EPA 833-B-09-002) [published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A) in February 2009], BMPs are measures or practices used to reduce the amount of pollution entering (regarding this operating permit) waters of the state. BMPs may take the form of a process, activity, or physical structure. Additionally in accordance with the Storm Water Management, a S \VPPP is a series of steps and activities to (l) identity sources of pollution or contamination, and (2) select and carry out actions which prevent or control the pollution of storm water discharges.

AMEREN MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M0-0098001, CALLAWAY COUNTY fACTSHEET, PAGE9 v" Applicable. A SWPPP shall be developed and implemented for each site and shall incorporate required practices identified by the Department with jurisdiction, incorporate erosion control practices specific to site conditions, and provide for maintenance and adherence to the plan.

o Quarterly monitoring and sampling for benchmarks is established in this permit, as under the previous permit cycle, stormwater monitoring was waived. The quarterly monitoring frequency is developed based on the guidance provided in the Department's Permit Writer's Manual Section 6.1.2 (http://dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp/permits/manuaVdocs/6 1 2.pdf) and in EPA's multi-sector general permit- Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (pgs. 32-35).

(http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/npdes/stormwater/upload/msgp20 13 proposedpermit 1-7 .pdf) o The stormwater retention ponds have been in operation more than 35 years and often times there is little or no discharge during a normal storm event, which is why this permit does not contain the condition to sample within 60 minutes of the first flush or the start of a precipitation event. The stormwater ponds have the capacity to have retention times of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months or longer.

303(d) List:

Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act requires that each state identify waters that are not meeting water quality standards and for which adequate water pollution controls have not been required. Water quality standards protect such beneficial uses of water as whole body contact (such as swimming), maintaining fish and other aquatic life, and providing drinking water for people, livestock and wildlife. The 303(d) list helps state and federal agencies keep track of waters that are impaired but not addressed by normal water pollution control programs .

../ Not Applicable. This facility does not discharge to a 303(d) listed stream.

Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL):

A TMD L is a calculation of the maximum amount of a given pollutant that a body of water can absorb before its water quality is affected. If a water body is determined to be impaired as listed on the 303(d) list, then a watershed management plan will be developed that shall include the TMDL calculation .

../ Not Applicable. This facility is not associated with a TMDL.

VARJANCE:

As per the Missouri Clean Water Law§ 644.061.4, variances shall be granted for such period of time and under such terms and conditions as shall be specified by the commission in its order. The variance may be extended by affirmative action of the commission. In no event shall the variance be granted for a period of time greater than is reasonably necessary for complying with the Missouri Clean Water Law §§644.006 to 644.141 or any standard, rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to Missouri Clean Water Law §§644.006 to 644.141.

../ Not applicable. This operating permit is not drafted under premises of a petition for variance.

WASTELOAD ALLOCATIONS (WLA) FOR LIMITS:

As per [10 CSR 20-2.010(78)], the amount of pollutant each discharger is allowed by the Department to release into a given stream after the Department has determined total amount of pollutant that may be discharged into that stream without endangering its water quality.

v" Applicable. Wasteload allocations were calculated where applicable using water quality criteria or water quality model results and the dilution equation below:

C = (Cs xQs)+(Ce xQe)

(EPA/505/2-90-001, Section 4.5.5)

(Qe +Qs)

Where C downstream concentration Cs = upstream concentration Os = upstream flow Ce effluent concentration Oe = effluent flow Chronic wasteload allocations were determined using applicable chronic water quality criteria (CCC: criteria continuous concentration) and stream volume of flow at the edge of the mixing zone (MZ). Acute wasteload allocations were detennined using applicable water quality criteria (CMC: criteria maximum concentration) and stream volume of flow at the edge of the zone of initial dilution (ZID).Water quality based maximum daily and average monthly effluent limitations were calculated using methods and procedures outlined in USEPA's "Teclmical Support Document For Water Quality-based Toxics Control" (EPA 505/2-90-001).

AMERE.N MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M0-0098001, CALLAWAY COUNTY FACTSHEET,PAGE 10 Number of Samples "n": In accordance with the TSD for water quality-based permitting, effluent quality is determined by the underlying distribution of daily values, which is determined by the Long Term Average (LTA) associated with a particular Wasteload Allocation (WLA) and by the Coefficient of Variation (CV) of the effluent concentrations. Increasing or decreasing the monitoring frequency does not affect this underlying distribution or treatment performance which should be, at a minimum, targeted to comply with the values dictated by the WLA. Therefore, it is recommended that the actual planned frequency of monitoring normally be used to determine the value of"n" for calculating the AML. However, in situations where monitoring frequency is once per month or less, a higher value for "n" must be assumed for AML derivation purposes. Thus, the statistical procedure being employed using an assumed number of samples is "n 4" at a minimum. For Total Ammonia as Nitrogen, "n = 30" is used.

WLA MODELING:

There are two general types of effluent limitations, technology-based effluent limits (TBELs) and water quality based effluent limits (WQBELs). IfTBELs do not provide adequate protection for the receiving waters, then WQBEL must be used .

./ Not applicable. A WLA study was either not submitted or determined not applicable by Department staff.

WATER QUALITY STANDARDS:

Per [1 0 CSR 20-7.031(4)], general criteria shall be applicable to all waters of the state at all times including mixing zones.

Additionally, [40 CFR 122.44(d)(l)] directs the Department to establish in each NPDES permit to include conditions to achieve water quality established under Section 303 of the Clean Water Act, including State narrative criteria for water quality.

WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY (WET) TEST:

A WET test is a quantifiable method of determining if a discharge from a facility may be causing toxicity to aquatic life by itself, in combination with or through synergistic responses when mixed with receiving stream water.

./ Applicable. Under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) §101(a)(3), requiring WET testing is reasonably appropriate for site-specific Missouri State Operating Permits for discharges to waters of the state_ issued under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). WET testing is also required by 40 CFR 122.44(d)(l). WET testing ensures that the provisions in the 10 CSR 20-6.010{8)(A)7. and the Water Quality Standards 10 CSR 20-7.031(4)(D),(F),(G),(I)2.A & Bare being met. Under

[10 CSR 20-6.010(8)(A)4], the Department may require other tem1s and conditions that it deems necessary to assure compliance with the Clean Water Act and related regulations of the Missouri Clean Water Commission. In addition the following MCWL apply: §§§644.051.3 requires the Department to set permit conditions that comply with the MCWL and CWA; 644.051.4 specifically references toxicity as an item we must consider in writing permits (along with water quality-based effluent limits, pretreatment, etc ... ); and 644.051.5 is the basic authority to require testing conditions. WET test will be required by ALL facilities meeting the following criteria:

[81 Facility is a designated Major.

0 Facility continuously or routinely exceeds its design flow.

[81 Facility (whether primarily domestic or industrial) that alters its production process throughout the year.

[81 Facility handles large quantities of toxic substances, or substances that are toxic in large amounts.

[81 Facility has Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations for toxic substances (other than NH 3) 0 Facility is a municipality with a Design Flow 2: 22,500 gpd.

The WET Test from #001 was removed as there is not a Lab available to conduct the test on the radiological test.

Outfalls #002 is an unscheduled chronic WET test if they must use a molluscicide or other toxic pollutants to remove organisms from intake structures, WET testing shall be conducted once per year.

Outfall #0 16 is an annual chronic WET test.

WET test were not established for Outfalls #003, #007, and #009 because these outfalls do not discharge as they are operated in recycle mode.

TEMPERATURE LIMITS CONSIDERATIONS:

Missouri's Water Quality Standards establish Temperature Criteria that provide several forms of protection from the impacts of heat energy on receiving water bodies. The purpose of the Temperature Limit Guidance is to provide an approach to help both permit writers and the public understand the Temperature Criteria and how temperature requirements are applied in Missouri State Operating Permits. ~his approach assumes that the receiving water consumes 100% of the heat energy being discharged. At any time the permittee has reason to believe the discharge may exceed their pennit temperature limits or if the pem1ittee does exceed their permit limit, the permittee may determine it necessary to take action that may include, but is not limited to, seeking a 316(a) Variance, a Mixing Zone Study, or conducting a "Heat Model". If action is taken by the permittee that warrants a modification to this operating permit, then the pem1ittee will need to submit an application for a permit modification. Submitting an application for pem1it modification does not guarantee approval of said action and does not directly indicate that the result of said action will be implemented into an operating permit. A Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) must be submitted for any alternative compliance approach.

AM EREN MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M 0-0098001, CALLAWAY COUNTY FACTSHEET, PAGE 11 Temperature monitoring is being maintained. The results of the RP A demonstrate that there is not reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard of 90°F or the +/-8 5°f at the edge of the mixing zone. However as this is an energy center discharging water at 95°F prior to mixing, the monitoring requirement will remain at monthly monitoring.

316(b) COOLING WATER INTAKE STRUCTURE Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) applies to new or existing facilities operating a cooling water intake structure (CWIS).

Section 316(b) requires that location, design, construction, and capacity of CWISs reflect the best technology available (BT A) for minimizing adverse environmental impacts (AEI). Under current regulations, existing facilities are subject to section 316(b) conditions that reflect BTA for minimizing AEI on a case-by-case, best professional judgment (BPJ) basis.

The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase II Section 316(b) Existing Facilities Rule was remanded to the EPA in Riverkeeper, Inc, eta!. v EPA 475 F.3d 83 (2d Cir. 2007). The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 require cooling water intake structures to reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact. Best technology available must consider intake design, location, construction, and capacity. The EPA has finalized the 316(b) standards and they became effective on October 16, 2014 (http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/316b/index.cfm).

The Ameren Callaway Energy Center is located about 5 miles inland with an intake structure on the north bank of the Missouri River at river mile 115.4. The intake structure is located directly on the bank of the river. The main channel and greatest depth of the river occur immediately offshore of the intake structure.

When Callaway was built, the technology decision in 1984 established closed cycle cooling as the best achievable technology. In the 2014, final 316(b) rules, closed cycle cooling is still the best achievable technology. Closed cycle cooling is considered the best achievable technology under the new 316(b) regulations, 40 CFR 122.21 (r) and 40 CFR 125.The original CWA 316b demonstration for Callaway Energy Center was approved by the department by letter dated August 1987 as "Best Technology Available". The report concluded that the estimated annual number of fish lost to impingement had no impact on the ecology or sport fishery of the Missouri River with respect to maintaining a balanced indigenous fish population. One reason for the relatively low numbers of fish collected during the impingement study was the location of the plant intake structure (i.e., main channel). This area of the river is characterized by swift current and shifting substratum which does not present a preferred fish habitat. Because the intake structure equipment and operation are essentially the same as the time of the original study, Ameren believes that the conclusion of the 1984 and 1986 studies are still valid.

EPA consulted with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service under the Endangered Species Act rules. The Services concluded that the new 316(b) rule is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of listed species or result in adverse modification of designated critical habitat. However the Services added a number of conditions to the final rule. The rules requires that facilities identify all Federally-listed threatened and endangered species and designated critical habitat that are present in the zone of influence area of the intake. This condition includes all listed species not just fish and shellfish. Additional control measures, monitoring and reporting requirements may be established to minimize incidental take. The Services will have 60 days to review and comment on measures related to listed species and critical habitat.

This operating permit contain language indicating that the permit may be reopened and modified, or alternatively revoked and reissued to: incorporate new or modified requirements applicable to existing cooling water intake structures under Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act consistent with any standard established pursuant to section 1311 or section 1316 of 33 USC 1326. In the event that, it is necessary for this permit to be reopened and modified, or alternatively revoked and reissued, permittee shall comply with any such new or modified requirements or standards applicable to existing cooling water intake structures under 316(b) of the Clean Water Act.

To meet the 316(b) requirements, Ameren will be required to conduct some of the studies required under40 CFR 122.2l(r). As the intake is less than 125 MGD, the entrainment decision is a best professional judgment decision not requiring all the studies. For impingement, Callaway has already installed one of the approved technologies, cooling towers. With the installed cooling towers, that is one of the approved methods for showing compliance with the Impingement Mortality requirements in 40 CFR 122.21 (r).

As part of the request for NRC license renewal under the Environmental Impact Section, Ameren agreed to conduct impingement and entrainment studies at Callaway for the 20 15 and 2016. As a result of those studies, along with the other studies required with 316(b ),

if recommendations are made for operational changes that are in compliance with the NRC regulations, they will be incorporated upon permit renewal. Ameren Missouri will perforn1 a one-year pallid sturgeon entrainment and impingement study for the Callaway Plant Unit l closed-cycle make-up water intake structure. The impingement study will consist of a once-per-week sample over a 52 consecutive week period. The sample will be obtained from the traveling screen wash trough of the plant closed cycle make-up water intake structure, with the exception that three (3) samples per week will be obtained and processed during May through July. Samples will be taken on nonconsecutive days, when possible.

, AMEREN*MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M0-0098001, CALLAWAY COUNTY FACTSHEET,PAGE12 The entrainment study will be conducted in either 201 5 or 201 6 and will require a weekly sample to be obtained and processed in the second half of March, April, August, and September. In addition, three (3) samples per week will be obtained and processed throughout May through July. Samples will be taken on non-consecutive days, when possible. Entrainment samples will be obtained and processed from the plant closed-cycle make-up water intake structure on the discharge side of the traveling screens.

Missouri River sampling will be conducted at three (3) locations opposite the intake structure during four (4) consecutive weeks (during May or June based on monitored water temperatures favorable for sturgeon spawning) on a once per week basis. A final report documenting the study results will be provided by March 31, 2017.(submitted by Ameren to the NRC on October 31, 2014).

Based on the results of the studies being conducted as part of the NRC license renewal, and the additional studies required under 40 CFR 122.21(r), operational changes may be recommended at permit renewal for protection of aquatic life. However any changes may require the NRC's approval to ensure safety remains high.

Under 40 CFR 122.21, the required studies at Callaway will include:

i. Source Water Physical Data Report, 40 CFR 122.2l(r)(2): This report requires a description and scaled drawings showing the physical configuration of the water body, including areal dimensions, depths, and temperature regimes, identification and characterization of the source waterbody's hydrological and geomorphological features, estimate the intake's area of influence within the waterbody and locational maps.

ii. Cooling Water Intake Structure Data Report, 40 CFR 122.2l(r)(3): This report requires information on the design of the intake structure and its location in the water column. It includes design intake flows, daily hours of operation, number of days of the year in operation and seasonal changes, if applicable; a flow distribution and water balance diagram that includes all sources of water to the facility, recirculating flows, and discharges, and engineering drawings of the cooling water intake structure.

AM EREN MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M Q-009800 1, CALLAWAY COUNTY fACTSHEET,PAGE 19 Due to the nature of the discharges from these outfalls being stormwater, only a maximum daily limit (MDL) or monitoring requirement will be implemented for many of the parameters listed below. Stormwater events are acute occurrences that result in the greatest concentrations of pollutants being discharged in the first part of the runoff. This first flush can best be represented by a grab sample within the first hours of runoff. Additionally, storm water events are highly variable. Recording an average monthly limit (AML) is not representative of the nature of these discharges. Many of these parameters that require just a MDL monitoring only requirement will now have a benchmark value associated with that monitoring only requirement. These benchmark values will be listed under the individual discussion and derivation of each parameter containing such a value.

BENCHMARKS Benchmark concentrations are not effluent limitations; benchmark exceedance, therefore, is not a permit violation. Benchmark monitoring data is used to determine the overall effectiveness of control measures and to assist the permittee in knowing when additional corrective action(s) may be necessary to comply with the technology based effluent limitations (TBEL). Failure to take corrective action is a violation of the permit. Benchmark exceedance alone is not a permit violation.

The benchmarks listed in the derivation discussion below have been determined to be feasible, affordable and protective of water quality. These benchmark values are consistent with other stormwater permits including the EPA MSGP. The facility will be required to monitor for all these parameters and if the benchmarks are exceeded at all in the following permit cycle, then the permit writer will use best professional judgment to determine if effluent limitations will be necessary to protect water quality.

There is no water quality standard for COD; however, increased oxygen demand may impact instream water quality. COD is also a valuable indicator parameter. COD monitoring allows the permittee to identify increases in COD that may indicate materials/chemicals coming into contact with stormwater that cause an increase in oxygen demand. Increases in COD may indicate a need for maintenance or improvement of BMPs. Additionally, a benchmark value will be implemented for this parameter. The benchmark value will be set at 90 mg/L. This value falls within the range of values implemented in other permits that have similar industrial activities and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's)

Multi-Sector General Permit For Stormwater Discharges Associated With Industrial Activity (MSGP).

Settleable Solids. Effluent limitations from the previous state operating permit have been reassessed. Monitoring remains on the stonnwater outfalls for settleable solids to ensure the best management practices are maintained and operating correctly. The petmittee is required to develop and implement a SWPPP and adhere to Best Management Practices (BMPs).

I!!!* pH shall be maintained within the range from 6.5 to 9.0 Standard Units (SU) as per 10 CSR 20-7.031 (4)(E).

Oil & Grease. 40 CFR 423.13 sets the effluent limit at 20 mg/L maximum daily and 15 mg/L monthly average. The water quality standard is 10 mg/L monthly average. The water quality standard is more protective than the Effluent Limit Guideline. Average monthly effluent limit== 10 mg/L; maximum daily effluent limit== 15 mg/L

2. Water Quality Standard (includes RPA) 6. Best Professional Judgment

3. Water Quality Based Effluent Limits 7. TMDL or Pem1it in lieu ofTMDL

4. Antidegradation Review/Policy 8. WET Test Policy OUTFALL #016- DERIVATION AND DISCUSSION OF LIMITS:

Flow. In accordance with [40 CFR Part 122.44(i)(l)(ii)] the volume of effluent discharged from each outfall is needed to assure compliance with permitted effluent limitations. If the pem1ittee is unable to obtain effluent flow, then it is the responsibility of the permittee to inform the department, which may require the submittal of an operating permit modification.

Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Limit from 423.13. Effluent limitations have been retained from previous state operating permit, and is deemed to be protective.

Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). 40 CFR 423 governs this analyte in addition to the calculated limits below. Effluent limitations have been retained from previous state operating pem1it, and are deemed to be protective. Total Residual Chlorine water quality based effluent limits are 209 J.lg/L daily maximum, 104 J.lg/L monthly average. Since limits at 40 CFR 423 are more protective than the 209 J.lg/L, the limit of 200 J.lg/L will be used for daily.

P.!:!. 6.0-9.0 SU. Technology based limits [10 CSR 20-7.015 and 40 CFR 423.13] are protective of the water quality standard

[10 CSR 20-7.031(4)(E)], due to the buffering capacity of the mixing zone.

Oil & Grease. 40 CFR 423.13 sets the effluent limit at 20 mg L maximum daily and 15 mg/L monthly average. The water quality standard is 10 mg/L monthly average. The water quality standard is more protective than the Effluent Limit Guideline. Average monthly effluent limit= 10 mg/L; maximum daily effluenr limit 15 mg/L

Temperature. Monitoring Only. Effluent limitations from the previous state operating permit have been reassessed and verified that they are still protective of the receiving stream's Water Quality. The facility employs best available control technology with cooling towers; which after the water leaves the cooling towers, the water is stored for reuse at the plant or for discharge back to the Missouri River. 10 CSR 20-7.031(4)(D)5 states that temperature shall not exceed the monthly temperature criteria established of 90°F at the edge of the mixing zone.

Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen. Monitoring required for facilities greater than 100,000 gpd design flow per 10 CSR 20-7.015(9)(D)7. Total Nitrogen shall be determined by testing for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) and Nitrate+ Nitrite and reporting the sum of the results (reported as N). Nitrate + Nitrite can be analyzed together or separately.

WET Test, Chronic. Monitoring requirement only; monitoring is required to determine if reasonable potential exists for this facility's discharge to exceed water quality standards. WET Testing schedules and intervals are established in accordance with the Department's Permit Manual; Section 5.2 Effluent Limits I WET Testing for Compliance Rio-monitoring. It is recommended that WET testing be conducted during the period of lowest stream flow.

[:8J - NO LESS THAN ONCE/YEAR:

[:8] - Industrial dischargers with toxic parameters in the discharge; that may alter production processes; or facilities which handle large quantities of toxic substances or substances that are toxic in large amounts shall conduct chronic WET test at a frequency annually. It will be reevaluated at permit renewal.

(22.32 cfs) I ((15,250 cfs x 0.25 x 0.1) + 22.32 cfs =0.055 = 5.5%= 10%.

Minimum Sampling and Reporting Frequency Requirements. Sampling and reporting frequency requirements have been retained from previous state operating permit, and is deemed to be protective. Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen shall have quarterly monitoring, as required in 10 CSR 20-7.0 15(9)(D)7.

Part V- Compliance with SWPPP Requirements to Achieve Benchmark Values The purpose of a SWPPP is to comply with all applicable stormwater regulations by creating an adaptive management plan to control and mitigate pollution of stormwater runoff. Developing a SWPPP provides opportunities to employ appropriate BMPs to minimize the risk of pollutants being discharged with during storm events. The following paragraph outlines the general steps the permittee should take to detem1ine which BMPs will work to achieve the benchmark values discussed in Part IV above. This section is not intended to be all encompassing or restrict the use of any physical BMP or operational and maintenance procedure that will assist in pollution controL Additional steps or revisions to the SWPPP may be required to meet the requirements of the permit. Additional information can be found in EPA's Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. A Guide (or Industrial Operators, (Document number EPA 833-B-09-002) (published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) in February 2009].

In order to effectively control the pollutants being discharged in stormwater runoff, potential stormwater pollution sources must be identified. Areas which should be included in the SWPPP are identified in 40 CFR 122.26(b){l4). The pollutants of concern that have already been identified in Part IV above can be used to assist in identifying potential sources. Once these potential sources of stormwater pollution have been identified, a plan should be fornmlated to best control the amount of pollutant being released and discharged by each activity or source. This should include, but is not limited to, minimizing exposure to stormwater, good housekeeping measures, proper facility and equipment maintenance, spill prevention and response, vehicle traffic control, and proper materials handling. Once a plan has been developed, employ the control measures that have been determined to be adequate to achieve the benchmark values discussed above. Conduct monitoring and inspections of the BMPs to ensure they are working properly. Re-evaluate any BMP that is not achieving compliance with permitting requirements. For example, if sample results from either outfall show values ofTSS above the benchmark value, the BMP being employed is deficient in controlling storm water pollution. Corrective action should be taken to repair, improve or replace the failing BMP. This internal evaluation is required at least once per month but should be continued more frequently if BMPs continue to fail. If failures do occur, continue this ttial and error process until appropriate BMPs have been established. If failures continue to occur and the permittee feels there are no practicable or cost-effective BMPs that will sufficiently reduce a pollutant concentration in the discharge to the benchmark values established in the permit, the permittee can submit a request to re-evaluate the benchmark values. This request needs to include a detailed explanation of why the facility is unable to comply with the permit conditions and unable to establish BMPs to achieve the benchmark values. Provide financial data of the company and documentation of cost associated with BMPs for review. This will allow the department to conduct a cost analysis on control measures and actions taken by the facility to determine cost-effectiveness of BMPs. The request should also include the SV/PPP. which should contain adequate documentation of BMPs employed, failed BMPs, corrective actions, and all other required information. The request shall be submitted in the forn1 of an operating permit modification application. Appropriate application forms can be found on the Department's website: http://dnr.mo.!wv/fomls/index.html.

AMEREN MISSOURI-CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER M 0-009800 I , CALLAWAY COUNTY fACTSHEET,PAGE22 Part VI- Administrative Requirements On the basis of preliminary staff review and the application of applicable standards and regulations, the Department, as administrative agent for the Missouri Clean Water Commission, proposes to issue a permit(s) subject to certain effluent limitations, schedules, and special conditions contained herein and within the operating permit. The proposed determinations are tentative pending public comment.

PERMIT SYNCHRONIZATION:

The Department of Natural Resources is currently undergoing a synchronization process for operating permits. Permits are normally issued on a five-year term, but to achieve synchronization many permits will need to be issued for less than the full five years allowed by regulation. The intent is that all permits within a watershed will move through the Watershed Based Management (WBM) cycle together will all expire in the same fiscal year. This will allow further streamlining by placing multiple permits within a smaller geographic area on public notice simultaneously, thereby reducing repeated administrative efforts. This will also allow the department to explore a watershed based permitting effort at some point in the future. Renewal applications must continue to be submitted within 180 days of expiration, however, in instances where effluent data from the previous renewal is less than three years old, that data may be re-submitted to meet the requirements of the renewal application. If the permit provides a schedule of compliance for meeting new water quality based effluent limits beyond the expiration date of the permit, the time remaining in the schedule of compliance will be allotted in the renewed permit.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

The Department shall give public notice that a draft permit has been prepared and its issuance is pending. Additionally, public notice will be issued if a public hearing is to be held because of a significant degree of interest in and water quality concerns related to a draft permit. No public notice is required when a request for a permit modification or termination is denied; however, the requester and permittee must be notified of the denial in writing.

The Department must issue public notice of a pending oper:ating permit or of a new or reissued statewide general permit. The public comment period is the length of time not less than 30 days following the date of the public notice which interested persons may submit written comments about the proposed permit. For persons wanting to submit comments regarding this proposed operating permit, then please refer to the Public Notice page located at the front of this draft operating permit. The Public Notice page gives direction on how and where to submit appropriate comments.

[g] - The Public Notice period for this operating permit was from May 21, 2015 to June 21, 2015. No responses received.
