Mr. John Dorney, along with Todd Ewing of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) and Mr. Jim Mead of the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) provided comments that were incorporated into the plan (see Enclosure 1). This
study plan was also reviewed by Mr. Jay Sauber who at that time was the head of the Water

Sciences Section and Ms. Trish MacPherson, who was the Biological Assessment Branch
Supervisor. Mr. Bryn Tracy attended a site meeting to work with Progress Energy employees on
selection of the monitoring locations identified in the plan. On June 3, 2008, NCDWQ submitted
a letter to Progress Energy stating that the monitoring plan was acceptable.
