Several families including myself co -exist in the area. We are directly
influenced by its toxicity as we get our water directly from a well. Its
contaminants are forcing us to seek alternative measures to combat the
pollutants. Our animals are also in danger of its toxic chemical properties.
This is far beyond acceptable. Testing was refused to us, because they
thought a road way was a sufficient barrier to prevent seepage. However
the brighter ones of us know that water does not just flow willy nilly. It
makes its way into the water tables. Once that happens it can travel to
numerous locations and spread the toxic contents.

5. Most of Lake Norman's 520 miles of shoreline are lined with homes.
6. Lake Norman is critical to the regional economy, providing a significant
portion of property tax base for surrounding counties. Countless visitors
fuel the regional economy, too.
7. Excavation is the only way to prevent groundwater contamination and
structure failure.
8. Marshall needs and warrants a 'high' prioritization to secure excavation
and to permanently remove this threat.

gardens, for our pets drinking water, etc.. My home well has not been

positive for this health hazard. I am aware of many cases of people(my

also have similar effects. All four of the family members of my household
have frequent gastroenterology/stomach complaints and discomforts. I
am very concerned that these health issues could be due to the Coal Ash
ponds in our area. I have a cousin who has two small children, that has
lived on Steam Plant Rd for the past eight years. Her children have a lot
of health issues. I strongly believe that our health safety is at a high risk
due to the coal ash pits. I want to see Duke Energy to install safe

and warrants an 'intermediate' or'high' prioritization to secure excavation
and to permanently remove this threat. Coal ash in South Carolina is
being cleaned up, and it is not even causing their rates to increase. Why
can't we have the same? Excavation is the only way to prevent
groundwater contamination and structure failure. This letter is to voice
concerns about why the leaking pipe in the Marshall Steam Plant in the
ash pond will be repaired by dumping unlimited amounts of toxic water
into Lake Norman. How did this pass EPA or any other DEQ provisions?
I realize a certain amount is allowed to leach into Lake Norman waters,
but how and why are you allowed to lower the levels significantly beyond
what is "safe" and "allowable "....I have also called and emailed and sent
regular mail to the EPA on how this can occur. Can you respond?

Most of Lake Norman's 520 miles of shoreline is lined with homes.
The time is way past due to clean up, once and for all, the coal ash site at
the Duke Energy Marshall Steam plant, which is said to be the largest
coal ash site in NC. Currently mis-classified as "low to intermediate risk,"
the site needs to be classified "intermediate" or "high" risk to assure
protection for the numerous communities and tens of thousands of
families and homes that lie downstream of the plant. Actually, more than
a million citizens rely upon downstream water intakes for their drinking
water. ? In the end, excavation and removal of the coal ash ponds is the
only sure-fire solution. Marshall's coal ash ponds, nearly 60 years old,
are unlined, They have been leaking coal ash for years on end, without
the State requiring abatement. Surely, the DEQ is aware that even the
monitoring by Duke of its own wells at Marshall, and that of neighboring
wells, has revealed concentration of heavy metals which exceed health -
based standards and regulatory limits as well. Yet, this situation has
been overlooked by State authorities for far too long. Families have been

warned not to drink the water due to contamination. Likewise, Duke
employees working at the Marshall Plant are told not to drink the water for
the same reason. What more proof is needed that the public risk needs to
be classified either "intermediate" or "high" to guarantee that Duke
eliminates the risk and that public safety is ensured? Do we need to
await another disastrous spill like the one two years ago at Dan River for
State regulatory authorities to act in the public interest? It is just a matter
of time before even more substantial leeching occurs or, worse,
something calamitous happens. Either event would collapse the property
values of citizens in communities surrounding Lake Norman, threaten the
multitude of recreational, boating and fishing opportunities which the Lake
provides, and endanger so many of our families and our children. Please,
ACT NOW, to require Duke to clean up its mess and to assure, now and
for the future, the health and safety of all the surrounding communities,
and concerned citizens and our families

detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far exceed the
health -based standards. For example, boron -which has been associated
with reproductive problems and gastrointestinal illness -has been detected
in nearby groundwater at levels 547% higher than the state standard.
Even Duke Energy was advised not to allow its employees to drink well
water at the Marshall plant due to unsafe levels of vanadium and the
carcinogen hexavalent chromium. And it's not just our drinking water that
is contaminated. Pollutants from the coal ash pit at Marshall seep into
streams and are discharged into Lake Norman, a popular lake with
swimmers, boaters, and fishers Duke stores over 16 million tons of coal
ash in the active, leaking, unlined coal ash basin at its Marshall Steam
Station, as well as nearly 15 million more tons of coal ash in landfills and
other areas on site. Duke has constructed several landfills on top of old,
unlined sections of the coal ash pond, including a sulfur dioxide scrubber
waste landfill and an unlined asbestos landfill.

I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of
the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities and families across
North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal
ash ponds including removal of the ash to lined, dry storage away from

The time is way past due to clean up, once and for all, the coal ash site at
the Duke Energy Marshall Steam plant, which is said to be the largest
coal ash site in NC. Currently mis-classified as "low to intermediate risk,"
the site needs to be classified "intermediate" or "high" risk to assure
protection for the numerous communities and tens of thousands of
families and homes that lie downstream of the plant. Marshall's coal ash
ponds, nearly 60 years old, are unlined, They have been leaking coal ash
for years on end, without the State requiring abatement. Surely, the DEQ
is aware that even the monitoring by Duke of its own wells at Marshall,
and that of neighboring wells, has revealed concentration of heavy metals

which exceed health -based standards and regulatory limits as well. Yet,
this situation has been overlooked by State authorities for far too long.
Families have been warned not to drink the water due to contamination.
Likewise, Duke employees working at the Marshall Plant are told not to
drink the water for the same reason. Do we need to await another
disastrous spill like the one two years ago at Dan River for State

I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of
the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities and families across
North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal
ash ponds including removal of the ash to lined, dry storage away from
our waterways and groundwater. There is no excuse for prolonging harm
to our communities. Almost 1 million people rely on drinking water
intakes downstream from the sprawling, leaking, unlined coal ash pit at

Even Duke Energy was advised not to allow its employees to drink well
water at the Marshall plant due to unsafe levels of vanadium and the

The time is way past due to clean up, once and for all, the coal ash site at
the Duke Energy Marshall Steam plant, which is said to be the largest
coal ash site in NC. Currently mis-classified as "low to intermediate risk,"
the site needs to be classified "intermediate" or "high" risk to assure
protection for the numerous communities and tens of thousands of
families and homes that lie downstream of the plant. Marshall's coal ash
ponds, nearly 60 years old, are unlined, They have been leaking coal ash
for years on end, without the State requiring abatement. Surely, the DEQ
is aware that even the monitoring by Duke of its own wells at Marshall,
and that of neighboring wells, has revealed concentration of heavy metals

which exceed health -based standards and regulatory limits as well. Yet,
this situation has been overlooked by State authorities for far too long.
Families have been warned not to drink the water due to contamination.
Likewise, Duke employees working at the Marshall Plant are told not to
drink the water for the same reason. Do we need to await another
disastrous spill like the one two years ago at Dan River for State
regulatory authorities to act in the public interest? It is just a matter of
time before even more substantial leeching occurs or, worse, something

The time is way past due to clean up, once and for all, the coal ash site at
the Duke Energy Marshall Steam plant, which is said to be the largest
coal ash site in NC. Currently mis-classified as "low to intermediate risk,"
the site needs to be classified "intermediate" or "high" risk to assure
protection for the numerous communities and tens of thousands of
families and homes that lie downstream of the plant. In the end,
excavation and removal of the coal ash ponds is the only sure-fire
solution. Marshall's coal ash ponds, nearly 60 years old, are unlined,
They have been leaking coal ash for years on end, without the State

revealed concentration of heavy metals which exceed health -based
standards and regulatory limits as well. Yet, this situation has been
overlooked by State authorities for far too long. Families have been
warned not to drink the water due to contamination. Likewise, Duke
employees working at the Marshall Plant are told not to drink the water for
the same reason. Do we need to await another disastrous spill like the
one two years ago at Dan River for State regulatory authorities to act in
the public interest? It is just a matter of time before even more
substantial leeching occurs or, worse, something calamitous happens.
Either event would collapse the property values of citizens in communities
surrounding Lake Norman, threaten the multitude of recreational, boating
and fishing opportunities which the Lake provides, and endanger so many

Intermediate. While I support an Intermediate ranking at Marshall, I also
stand with other communities and rivers across North Carolina that face
the prospect of having coal ash left submerged in groundwater sitting in
leaking, unlined pits next to rivers, lakes, and drinking water supplies.

Even more upsetting is the fact that the current risk assessment of this
site appears to have been manipulated if not completely directed by Duke
with the support of the McCrory
administration. History has also proven that Duke, with all its scientific
and financial resources, has not been able to manage coal ash
competently at any of their sites. One could argue whether this has been
by design or merely incompetence. Do the right thing! Raise the risk
assessment at Marshall, hold Duke accountable and completely remove
the Marshall coal ash ponds.
Currently mis-classified as "low to intermediate risk," the site needs to be
classified "intermediate" or "high" risk to assure protection for the
numerous communities and tens of thousands of families and homes that
lie downstream of the plant. Please, ACT NOW, to require Duke to clean
up its mess and to assure, now and for the future, the health and safety of
all the surrounding communities, and concerned citizens and our families.
In the end, excavation and removal of the coal ash ponds is the only sure-
fire solution. Marshall's coal ash ponds, nearly 60 years old, are unlined,
They have been leaking coal ash for years on end, without the State
requiring abatement. Surely, the DEQ is aware that even the monitoring
by Duke of its own wells at Marshall, and that of neighboring wells, has

revealed concentration of heavy metals which exceed health -based
standards and regulatory limits as well. Yet, this situation has been
overlooked by State authorities for far too long Families have been
warned not to drink the water due to contamination. Likewise, Duke
employees working at the Marshall Plant are told not to drink the water for
the same reason. What more proof is needed that the public risk needs to
be classified either "intermediate" or "high" to guarantee that Duke
eliminates the risk and that public safety is ensured? It is just a matter
of time before even more substantial leeching occurs or, worse,
something calamitous happens. Either event would collapse the property
values of citizens in communities surrounding Lake Norman, threaten the
multitude of recreational, boating and fishing opportunities which the Lake
provides, and endanger so many of our families and our children.
I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of
the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities and families across
North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal
ash ponds including removal of the ash to lined, dry storage away from
our waterways and groundwater. There is no excuse for prolonging harm
to our communities. Almost 1 million people rely on drinking water
intakes downstream from the sprawling, leaking, unlined coal ash pit at
Duke Energy's Marshall facility. State health officials warned families
living near the Marshall facility and its leaking, unlined coal ash pit that it
was not safe to drink water from many of their wells due to the presence

of harmful pollutants. Boron, sulfates, and other pollutants have been
detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far exceed the
health -based standards. For example, boron -which has been associated
with reproductive problems and gastrointestinal illness -has been detected
in nearby groundwater at levels 547% higher than the state standard.
Even Duke Energy was advised not to allow its employees to drink well
water at the Marshall plant due to unsafe levels of vanadium and the
carcinogen hexavalent chromium. And it's not just our drinking water that
is contaminated. Pollutants from the coal ash pit at Marshall seep into
streams and are discharged into Lake Norman, a popular lake with
swimmers, boaters, and fishers Duke stores over 16 million tons of coal
ash in the active, leaking, unlined coal ash basin at its Marshall Steam
Station, as well as nearly 15 million more tons of coal ash in landfills and
other areas on site. Duke has constructed several landfills on top of old,
unlined sections of the coal ash pond, including a sulfur dioxide scrubber
waste landfill and an unlined asbestos landfill.

I spent $250 in 2015 to have Pace Analytics test my well for heavy metals

for heavy metals such as Vanadium and Hexavalent Chromium are
inconclusive, because Pace used reporting limits that were a little higher
than the NC DEQ limits of 2015, but much lower than the new NC DEQ
limits, which were recently raised by at least an order of magnitude.

Ultimately, the only real solution is to excavate and remove the coal ash
ponds. We do not need another disastrous spill situation like the one two
years ago at Dan River for State for regulatory authorities to act in the

I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of
the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities and families across
North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal
ash ponds including removal of the ash to lined, dry storage away from
our waterways and groundwater. There is no excuse for prolonging harm
to our communities. Almost 1 million people rely on drinking water
intakes downstream from the sprawling, leaking, unlined coal ash pit at
Duke Energy's Marshall facility. State health officials warned families
living near the Marshall facility and its leaking, unlined coal ash pit that it
was not safe to drink water from many of their wells due to the presence

of harmful pollutants. Boron, sulfates, and other pollutants have been
detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far exceed the
health -based standards. For example, boron -which has been associated
with reproductive problems and gastrointestinal illness -has been detected
in nearby groundwater at levels 547% higher than the state standard.
Even Duke Energy was advised not to allow its employees to drink well
water at the Marshall plant due to unsafe levels of vanadium and the
carcinogen hexavalent chromium. And it's not just our drinking water that
is contaminated. Pollutants from the coal ash pit at Marshall seep into
streams and are discharged into Lake Norman, a popular lake with
swimmers, boaters, and fishers Duke stores over 16 million tons of coal
ash in the active, leaking, unlined coal ash basin at its Marshall Steam
Station, as well as nearly 15 million more tons of coal ash in landfills and
other areas on site. Duke has constructed several landfills on top of old,
unlined sections of the coal ash pond, including a sulfur dioxide scrubber
waste landfill and an unlined asbestos landfill.

I urge you to please classify Marshall as high or intermediate such that
Duke is required to remove the coal ash. I do not know all of the
background or pros/cons but the Charlotte Observer recently wrote a
piece describing how cement manufacturers are purchasing Chinese coal
ash instead of what is available locally. If it is possible to effectively
remove any impurities or high levels of compounds I would hope that
DENR would try to ensure that Duke prioritizes selling or giving the coal
ash to the local cement companies, even if this delays the removal.
Duke Energy's Marshall Steam Station stores more than 16 million tons of
coal ash in its active, leaking, unlined coal ash basin and an estimated 30
million tons of total coal ash is stored on site in landfills on top of old,
unlined sections of the coal ash pond, including a landfill used to dispose
of sulfur dioxide scrubber waste and an unlined asbestos landfill. State

leaking, unlined pits across the state and contains a toxic slurry of heavy
metals that threaten nearby communities. We ask that state government
leaders and state regulators take appropriate action to require the
removal of coal ash out of all unlined pits and into safer lined storage
away from our waterways. Please ensure that coal ash ponds and
landfills do not put at risk the safety, health, and economic well-being of
downstream communities, receiving communities, and communities along
transportation routes.

addressing site's groundwater or stability concerns. However, based on
holistic and life cycle considerations, it may not be a safe, effective and

combinations, such as capping, monitored natural attenuation, slurry

reactive barriers and volume reduction of impounded ash through
escalation of beneficial use, should be considered and compared on an

I have heard stories from family members who have had a lake house
here for years and they recall the days when the debris from Marshall
would float through the air and land on their cars. This toxic material
would react with the paint on their cars, turning it another color. A
mechanical engineer who lived here said his dog used to have an off
white color in his coat of fur and thought it had to do with the air quality. I
know multiple people who worked for the Marshall Steam Station who
developed cancer. They died at an early age. Their families now have a
law suit against your company.
Two children that live on Kiser Island have developed cancer in the last
five or so years. I have two young children and this concerns me very
much. Yes, I am concerned about my health too.
When will Duke do the right thing and clean up this coal contamination
and use clean energy? This clean up can not wait. It needs to begin now,
today! How can a company with profits as large as Duke Energy not do
the right thing and spend the money to 100% guarantee that the
environment is clean and safe. I ask your company to please have "a
heart and soul" and do the right thing in protecting human life.

e ash ponds around an ars a should be rated as a High Risk, no
a low risk! Duke Energy should be made to clean up the coal ash ponds
now and not 15 — 20 years from now. If they discover new evidence later
that the rating should be lowered, then lower it then, but not at this time.
I am very concerned about the safety of the water for myself and the rest
of my family, neighbors & friends, who live in the Sherrills Ford
community. Almost all of us have private wells, which we use for
everything that we need water for, drinking, cooking, bathing, irrigating
our vegetable gardens, for our pets drinking water, etc.. My home well
has not been tested as of this time since we are out of the area that was
offered testing, even though I am less than a half mile from wells that did
test positive for this health hazard. If there is a low risk with our water,
then why has Duke Energy advised their employees no to drink water
from the well at the Marshall plant. I would rather feel safe knowing that

priority. Each day that my family and neighbors are forced to drink the
contaminated water and breathe the toxic ash in the air, puts all of us at a
high risk to develop Cancer and other health issues. am aware of many
cases of people(my friends & neighbors) that have or have had Cancer in
the Sherrills Ford area. As I am a nurse, I know that most side effects to
anything, is GI tract upset. So, I expect that these contaminants or heavy
metals in our water would also have similar effects. All four of the family
members of my household have frequent gastroenterology/stomach
complaints and discomforts(reflux, indigestion, bouts of cramps, diarrhea,
constipation, nausea & vomiting.) I am very concerned that these health
issues could be due to the Coal Ash ponds in our area. It is a scientific
fact that frequent, repeated irritation can develop into more serious health
problems, such as Cancer. I have a cousin who has two small children,
they have lived on Steam Plant Rd for the past eight years. Her children
have a lot of health issues. I strongly believe that their health is at a high
risk, due to the coal ash pits. I want to see Duke Energy to install safe

Summary: No community should be low risk. No coal ash should be
capped in place. Summary: Duke and their shareholders should pay for
cleanup not ratepayers. Summary: The public should have access to all
plans made for excavation and movement of the ash, including details
about the transportation of the ash via trucks or rail. Both the local
community, communities along the transport route, and those near the

final proposed storage location should have opportunities for input on
Duke's plans for permanent safe storage of the coal ash. Summary:
Duke should research storage options that provide better long-term
solutions than lined landfills; favoring those that reuse coal ash or fully
encapsulate the ash above ground with a more permanent barrier than a
synthetic liner. Summary: Duke should invest in renewable energy such
as solar and wind and move away from coal and natural gas.

As neighbors of Marshall Steam Station, it is our opinion that Marshall
and it's ash ponds should be and remain as high risk All area waters
continually be tested for a least the next 25 years. This should be done
at least annually. This will reach well beyond our life time. We are
concerned not only about our on health but that of our children and

grandchildren. It appears that possible payoffs changed the decisions
that the contaminated water unfit to drink is suddenly non -polluted and ok
to drink. Who got paid by who? 2. Who exactly was involved in the
decision making of making the decision that the polluted water is now fit
to drink? In short, we aren't buying what you are selling! Would you let
your family drink this polluted water?
We are home owners living near the Marshall Steam Station plant owned
and operated by Duke Power and have dire concerns about the fact that
this station has not been given a classification of "intermediate risk" or
"high risk" relative to the continued leak of coal ash into surrounding
groundwater. I feel it is the duty of our government to make this issue
known to all by instituting a minimum of an "intermediate risk" to the
surrounding population of this coal ash pond and see to it that it gets
cleaned up immediately. SEE EMAIL ATTACHMENT In this area very
little groundwater testing has occurred. Because of the fact that our
home and land are outside (by a small margin) of the 1500 ft.
downgradient of the compliance boundary we have pretty much been left
out in the cold about well testing. Apparently 29 wells were tested last

Two houses directly across the street from ours were noted to have
exceedances and were given a "do not drink" recommendation as a
result. One year later we are still drinking our water oblivious to this fact.
Just about 1 month ago we were invited to a meeting with the River
keeper, as well as, others in the area and became aware of this issue at
that time. We decided to have our well water tested and contacted the
county and arranged for the sampling. Our results were sent back to us
last Monday with noted exceedances in hexavalent chromium and
vanadium. We have been drinking this water for the past 16 years
unknowingly. SEE EMAIL ATTACHMENT The coal ash pond at Marshall
seeps into nearby streams and lakes. Places where people boat, swim,
and fish are most likely being polluted. I am certain that there are issues
not even completely understood about the effects of these unlined,
uncovered ponds. SEE EMAIL ATTACHMENT

landfill and an unlined asbestos landfill. Almost 1 million people rely on
drinking water intakes downstream from the sprawling, leaking, unlined
coal ash pit at Duke Energy's Marshall facility. State health officials
warned families living near the Marshall facility and its leaking, unlined
coal ash pit that it was not safe to drink water from many of their wells due
to the presence of harmful pollutants. And it's not just our drinking water
that is contaminated. Pollutants from the coal ash pit at Marshall seep
into streams and are discharged into Lake Norman, a popular lake with
swimmers, boaters, and fishers. Boron, sulfates, and other pollutants
have been detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far
exceed the health -based standards. For example, boron -which has been
associated with reproductive problems and gastrointestinal illness -has
been detected in nearby groundwater at levels 547% higher than the state
standard.

I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of
the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities and families across
North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal

I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of

North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal
ash ponds including removal of the ash to lined, dry storage away from

drinking water intakes downstream from the sprawling, leaking, unlined
coal ash pit at Duke Energy's Marshall facility. State health officials
warned families living near the Marshall facility and its leaking, unlined
coal ash pit that it was not safe to drink water from many of their wells due
to the presence of harmful pollutants. And it's not just our drinking water
that is contaminated. Pollutants from the coal ash pit at Marshall seep
into streams and are discharged into Lake Norman, a popular lake with
swimmers, boaters, and fishers. Boron, sulfates, and other pollutants
have been detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far
exceed the health -based standards. For example, boron -which has been
associated with reproductive problems and gastrointestinal illness -has
been detected in nearby groundwater at levels 547% higher than the state
standard.
I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of
the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities and families across
North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal
ash ponds including removal of the ash to lined, dry storage away from
our waterways and groundwater. There is no excuse for prolonging harm
to our communities. Duke stores over 16 million tons of coal ash in the

sections of the coal ash pond, including a sulfur dioxide scrubber waste
landfill and an unlined asbestos landfill. Almost 1 million people rely on
drinking water intakes downstream from the sprawling, leaking, unlined
coal ash pit at Duke Energy's Marshall facility. State health officials
warned families living near the Marshall facility and its leaking, unlined
coal ash pit that it was not safe to drink water from many of their wells due
to the presence of harmful pollutants. And it's not just our drinking water
that is contaminated. Pollutants from the coal ash pit at Marshall seep
into streams and are discharged into Lake Norman, a popular lake with
swimmers, boaters, and fishers. Boron, sulfates, and other pollutants
have been detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far
exceed the health -based standards. For example, boron -which has been
associated with reproductive problems and gastrointestinal illness -has
been detected in nearby groundwater at levels 547% higher than the state
standard.

Summary: Duke Energy should be made to clean up the coal ash ponds
now. The ash ponds around Marshall should be rated as high risk. SEE
EMAIL ATTACHMENT Summary: I am very concerned about the safety
of the water for myself and the rest of my family, neighbors & friends, who
live in the Sherrills Ford community. Almost all of us have private wells,
which we use for everything that we need water for, drinking, cooking,
bathing, irrigating our vegetable gardens, pets drinking water, etc. My
home well has not been tested since I was outside the radius but less
than 1/2 mile. Started buying bottled water which adds to budget.

Those proposed as low or intermediate priority —Allen, Belews Creek,
Buck, Cape Fear, HF Lee, Marshall, Mayo, Rogers, Roxboro, and
Weatherspoon—put at proven risk the clean drinking water that all
citizens of the state deserve and expect. I applaud the efforts of Duke
Energy to attend immediately to the high priority sites for cleanup,
removal and secure off -site, lined and contained storage. These plans will
safeguard the ground water, rivers, and streams of our state. They need
to be applied as well to the dozen other sites listed above. For the future
health —medical and financial —I urge NC DEQ to classify all of the coal
ash sites as high priority and require Duke Energy to transfer the coal ash
to contained, lined, safe storage sites, protecting our ground water,
streams, and rivers. For low and intermediate priority sites, to leave in
place and "cap" those coal ash storage sites merely by covering them

with tarps means that we aren't willing to protect against ground water
contamination as dangerous chemicals seep from the unlined areas into
municipal water sources and private wells. That leaching has been well
documented, as has the medically dangerous, and potentially life -
threatening, effects of ongoing exposure to contaminated water. In Flint,
Michigan we have seen the tragic consequences of official denials, of
declaring the water safe, of ignoring science: otherwise healthy children
have suffered from prolonged exposure in life changing and permanent
ways. Their parents and grandparents have been put at risk for diseases
and disabilities. The impact on the state in medical costs, as well as civil
and criminal penalties, will extend for at least a generation. Because coal
generated power requires enormous quantities of water, Duke Energy
understandably located their plans near water sources —and it is those
same water sources that now must be protected from the harmful and
serious effects of the chemicals contained in the coal ash by-products.

At e outset, it should a noted a , for certain ponds, including
Marshall's Ash Basin, the Department failed to issue one of the three
statutorily mandated classifications —"high -risk, intermediate -risk, or low -
risk." In addition, the Department failed to determine a schedule for the
closure and remediation of those ponds, a determination also required by
CAMA. Instead, the Department dubbed nine ponds as "low -to -
intermediate," thus leaving undecided whether the coal ash in those
ponds must be excavated or whether it could be capped in place and
whether closure must be completed by 2024 or by 2029. CAMA does not
authorize so-called "low -to -intermediate" classifications based on a lack
of information. Faced with uncertainty regarding ponds' risks, the
classification process should have been guided by the precautionary
principle —that is, when faced with the possibility of serious harm,
scientific uncertainty must be resolved in favor of prevention of such
Staff
harm —and the Department should have classified ponds as high or

intermediate risk. Accordingly, we urge the Department to reconsider its
Club
proposed classification for the pond at Duke Energy's Marshall coal plant
and to reclassify that pond as high risk. SEE EMAIL ATTACHMENT
Duke's conclusions about impacts to nearby drinking wells (receptors) are
based on unsupported assumptions regarding the direction of
groundwater movement at the site. Given such assumptions, Duke never
assessed impacts of contamination from the Marshall Ash Basin on
neighboring drinking water wells and, therefore, a low risk rating is not
justified. Second, while the provision of alternate water supplies may
lessen certain risks to residents, it does not lessen the risk to
groundwater. CAMA clearly calls for the assessment of risks to public
health, the environment, and natural resources. Of course, Duke Energy
must provide safe water to families whose wells have been contaminated
by pollutants found in coal ash. But that does not change the fact that, if
millions of tons of coal ash are left in Duke's leaking ponds, an important
natural resource will remain at risk for decades to come. Despite the

sections of the coal ash pond, including a sulfur dioxide scrubber waste
landfill and an unlined asbestos landfill. Almost 1 million people rely on
drinking water intakes downstream from the sprawling, leaking, unlined
coal ash pit at Duke Energy's Marshall facility. State health officials
warned families living near the Marshall facility and its leaking, unlined
coal ash pit that it was not safe to drink water from many of their wells due
to the presence of harmful pollutants. And it's not just our drinking water
that is contaminated. Pollutants from the coal ash pit at Marshall seep
into streams and are discharged into Lake Norman, a popular lake with
swimmers, boaters, and fishers. Boron, sulfates, and other pollutants
have been detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far
exceed the health -based standards. For example, boron -which has been
associated with reproductive problems and gastrointestinal illness -has
been detected in nearby groundwater at levels 547% higher than the state
standard.

I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of
the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities and families across
North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal
ash ponds including removal of the ash to lined, dry storage away from
our waterways and groundwater. There is no excuse for prolonging harm
to our communities. Duke stores over 16 million tons of coal ash in the
active, leaking, unlined coal ash basin at its Marshall Steam Station, as

swimmers, boaters, and fishers. Boron, sulfates, and other pollutants
have been detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far
exceed the health -based standards. For example, boron -which has been
associated with reproductive problems and gastrointestinal illness -has
been detected in nearby groundwater at levels 547% higher than the state
standard.

I am writing to urge you to enforce a full clean up of the Marshall coal ash
ponds. Moving coal ash to dry lined storage away from waterways is the
best solution to protect our communities and families. We hope DEQ and
Governor McCrory recognize that our communities deserve clean water
that is free from coal ash contamination. It is long past time for Duke
Energy to remove its coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage here and at all of
the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities and families across
North Carolina. I urge DEQ to ensure a full clean up of the Marshal coal
ash ponds including removal of the ash to lined, dry storage away from
our waterways and groundwater. There is no excuse for prolonging harm
to our communities. Duke stores over 16 million tons of coal ash in the
active, leaking, unlined coal ash basin at its Marshall Steam Station, as
well as nearly 15 million more tons of coal ash in landfills and other areas
on site. Duke has constructed several landfills on top of old, unlined

sections of the coal ash pond, including a sulfur dioxide scrubber waste
landfill and an unlined asbestos landfill. Almost 1 million people rely on
drinking water intakes downstream from the sprawling, leaking, unlined
coal ash pit at Duke Energy's Marshall facility. State health officials
warned families living near the Marshall facility and its leaking, unlined
coal ash pit that it was not safe to drink water from many of their wells due
to the presence of harmful pollutants. And it's not just our drinking water
that is contaminated. Pollutants from the coal ash pit at Marshall seep
into streams and are discharged into Lake Norman, a popular lake with
swimmers, boaters, and fishers. Boron, sulfates, and other pollutants
have been detected in Duke's own monitoring wells at levels that far
