comment #1: Dear N.C. Department of Environmental Quality,
I'm writing to urge the state to uphold the high hazard rating that Duke Energy's Sutton power
plant received. While the Sutton plant cleanup is long overdue I was disappointed to learn that
other communities across our state may not get a full cleanup. This is unacceptable.
No community is low priority and no community should have coal ash in leaking, unlined pits next
to rivers, lakes, and drinking water supplies. It is imperative that Duke Energy remove its coal
ash from leaking, unlined pits near communities and families across North Carolina to safer dry,
lined storage away from our waterways and groundwater. Capping in place is not a cleanup
plan.
Every community in North Carolina has the right to clean water.
Thank you.

comment #2: 1 appreciate the legislature protecting communities and the environment by
directing that coal ash at the Sutton Power m Station be removed from unlined pits alongside
rivers and streams and disposed of in dry, lined storage away from our waterways.
While coal ash is being removed here at Sutton to safer, dry, lined storage away from Sutton
Lake and the Cape Fear River -which I support -other communities across North Carolina face
the prospect of having coal ash left submerged in groundwater sitting in leaking, unlined pits
next to rivers, lakes, and drinking water supplies.
Duke Energy's unlined Sutton Plant coal ash ponds have caused a plume of groundwater
contamination that threatens a public utility's drinking water supply wells that serve the nearby
Flemington community. The Sutton coal ash ponds have also contaminated a popular fishing
destination, Sutton Lake, with high levels of selenium, killing nearly 1 million fish per year and
deforming many others, according to a peer -reviewed study by a leading expert.
It's past time for Duke Energy to remove its coal ash from leaking, unlined pits near communities
and families across North Carolina to safer dry, lined storage away from our waterways and
groundwater.
I hope DEQ and Governor McCrory recognize that all of North Carolina's communities with coal
ash pits deserve the same level of protection.

comment #3: Unlined coal ash ponds at Duke Energy's Sutton Plant have caused a plume of
groundwater contamination that threatens drinking water supply of the nearby Flemington
community. In response to the pollution, Duke Energy and the public utility that serves
Flemington agreed to install a new water line for the community, but only after Duke made the
utility promise never to withdraw water from a 17-square mile area around the coal ash lagoons.
The Sutton coal ash ponds have also contaminated Sutton Lake, a popular fishing destination,
with high levels of selenium, killing nearly 1 million fish per year and deforming millions more,
according to a peer -reviewed study by a leading research biologist and selenium expert.
While I support the high -priority rating of this site, I encourage Duke Energy to avoid trucking its
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. 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.
As Duke Energy continues to excavate ash at the Sutton plant, 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.
While I support the action occurring at Sutton, I 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. No community in North
Carolina should be classified as low priority. All communities deserve safe drinking water.

Fully agrees with the "high" classification given to Sutton, due to the history of structural integrity
failure, impacts to surface water and documented contamination of groundwater. Believes all
other ponds and impoundments should be cleaned up quickIV.

Dr John Daniels
Chair of the NAMAB

ear Mr. Keeder, I his le er is written in response to the North Uarolina Uepartment o
Environmental Quality's (DEQ) request for public comment on its proposed risk classifications of
coal ash impoundments. Our comments are directed at impoundments which have proposed
classifications of low -intermediate, intermediate, and high, according to DEQ's application of the
Coal Ash Management Act (CAMA). This letter has been compiled, reviewed and endorsed by
the National Ash Management Advisory Board (NAMAB). Note that Duke Energy is required to
actively maintain the NAMAB for compliance with its Plea Agreement, as per United States of
America v. Duke Energy Business Services, LLC, and settlement in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Western Division. The NAMAB is an
independent group of experts chartered through Duke Energy and managed by the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte). Board members provide advice to Duke Energy,
but they are contracted with and report to UNC 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. In the abstract, a risk classification system is logical. In reality, DEQ's risk classification
cannot be de -coupled from the prescriptive remedy approach defined by CAMA. 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 without consideration of broader immediate and life
cycle impacts to communities and the environment. Moreover, aggressive closure schedules
preclude the pursuit of beneficial use opportunities. Excavation of coal ash is one method of
addressing site's groundwater or stability concerns. However, based on holistic and life cycle

Urges that every coal ash impoundment as high or intermediate priority. Duke should be
required to remove all coal ash to dry, lined storage away from waterways, groundwater and low-
income communities or communities of color.

Attached is a report on the impact of the coal ash ponds on low-income and communities of
color, as well as cumulative impacts from nearby emitting facilities. Low-income communities
more likely to be burdened by environmental hazards, and the state is not doing enough to take
environmental justice concerns into account. The report outlines the population, race/ethnicity
and income at three distance intervals (1 km, 3km, 5km) from the edge of ash basins at each
Duke facility. For Sutton specifically, the report gave an environmental justice index score. See
full rennrt for more details
