Seeps and leaks from the coal ash pits at the Riverbend site flow into Mountain Island Lake, the drinking water reservoir for North Carolina's largest city, Charlotte.

The NAMAB has been integrally involved in the review of groundwater assessment plans, comprehensive site assessments, and corrective action plans, which have been submitted to DEQ. Likewise, it has participated in the review of stability and engineering related assessments and with the implementation of NAMAB-recommended health and environmental assessments of risk. While licensed professionals are responsible for these work products, the group is sufficiently aware of the site -specific conditions to which the CAMA risk classification criteria are being applied. For example, licensed engineers and geologists, with support from health and environmental risk assessors, have determined that there is no imminent hazard. Those same professionals have determined that existing conditions at these sites do not present a substantial likelihood that death, serious illness, severe personal injury, or a substantial endangerment to health, property, or the environment will occur. SEE EMAIL ATTACHMENT A risk classification of intermediate or high (for instance high priority as prescribed in the case of Asheville, Dan River, Riverbend and Sutton) by law requires excavation and re -disposal to a new location without a scientific basis, and Dr. John L. Daniels, National Ash without consideration of broader immediate and life cycle impacts to communities and the P.E. Management 4/5/16 Email environment. Excavation of coal ash is one method of addressing site's groundwater or Advisory Board stability concerns. However, based on holistic and life cycle considerations, it may not be a safe, effective and sustainable alternative. Other alternatives either individually or in combinations, such as capping, monitored natural attenuation, slurry cutoff walls, in -place stabilization/fixation, pumping wells, permeable reactive barriers and volume reduction of impounded ash through escalation of beneficial use, should be considered and compared on an impoundment by impoundment basis to develop an effective, safe and sustainable remedial strategy. The efficacy of these alternative methods increases with the amount of ash in any given location, i.e., the larger the impoundment, the smarter we need to be. The environmental and geotechnical remediation business is very mature and has evolved beyond a "dig and haul" mentality as the best and most environmentally protective solution. The additional risk imposed by excavating and transporting ash from one location to another can exceed the potential risk posed by leaving the ash in place. Risk drivers include the statistical certainty of traffic fatalities and injuries, as tabulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Likewise, excavation results in ecological disturbance, ongoing site releases from ash disturbance for years and broader environmental impacts from resource use and Seeps and leaks from the coal ash pits at the Riverbend site flow into Mountain Island Lake, the drinking water reservoir for North Carolina's largest city, Charlotte.

In South Carolina, SCE&G is committed to fully excavating its coal ash without increasing rates for its customers. Duke Energy made this mess, not North Carolinians, and it is not only the company's responsibility to properly clean it up but also to pay for that cleanup, no matter the cost. I believe that as Duke Energy continues to excavate ash, the company should continue researching alternative storage options that will provide a permanent solution for coal ash storage which fully encapsulates it with a more permanent barrier than a synthetic liner. Duke's leaking coal ash impoundments across the state continue to threaten ground and surface water. State health officials advised communities close to Duke's facilities not to drink their well water because of harmful pollutants like vanadium and hexavalent chromium. No family should have to question the safety of their water. CONTAINS A PETITION SIGNED BY NUMEROUS Adam Reaves Southern Alliance 4/18/16 Email PARTIES. SEE EMAIL ATTACHMENT I'm writing to urge you to rank every coal ash for Clean Energy impoundment in North Carolina as high or intermediate priority. Duke Energy should be required to remove all of the coal ash at each of its 14 power plants sites to dry, lined storage away from our waterways and groundwater, and from our most vulnerable communities such as low-income communities or communities of color. DEQ's rating process offers the best opportunity to properly deal with Duke's coal ash pollution and ensure the health and safety of NC communities. Please ensure Duke's coal ash is moved to lined, dry storage, away from our rivers and waterways and our most vulnerable communities. CONTAINS A PETITION SIGNED BY NUMEROUS PARTIES.

In South Carolina, SCE&G is committed to fully excavating its coal ash without increasing rates for its customers. Duke Energy made this mess, not North Carolinians, and it is not only the company's responsibility to properly clean it up but also to pay for that cleanup, no matter the cost. I believe that as Duke Energy continues to excavate ash, the company should continue researching alternative storage options that will provide a permanent solution for coal ash storage which fully encapsulates it with a more permanent barrier than a synthetic liner. Alex Benz N/A 4/18/16 Email Seeps and leaks from the coal ash pits at the Riverbend site flow into Mountain Island Lake, the drinking water reservoir for North Carolina's largest city, Charlotte. Boron, manganese, and other harmful pollutants have been detected at levels well above standards in groundwater near the coal ash pits at the Riverbend site. While I support the high -priority rating of this site, I encourage Duke Energy to avoid trucking the ash to landfills in other communities. I support safe reuse of the ash and storing it in lined landfills, but prefer that the ash is stored on Duke Energy's property, or at a safe distance from other communities, which I define as at least 3 miles. I also ask that Duke Energy shareholders, not ratepayers, pay for the cost of cleanup.
