In accordance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules, 15A NCAC 13B .U5U3,
Progress Energy Carolinas, LLC (Progress Energy) is submitting this Site Application to demonstrate
the suitability or the subject property for development as a solid waste landfill facility (monofill) for
coal eennnbustienn pnvduet (CCP) disposal. This report documents the results of preliminary investigations
conducted to evaluate the sig—Feting and design requirements of disposal sites as required in 5ation 15A
NCAC 13B .0503(1) and (2).
ine Asheville Plant is located to the east of the Fnenneh Broad Ri,,er and Interstate 26 and is about a
quarter mile south of the Blue Ridge Parkway, in Buncombe County, North Carolina (vigure 1). The site
property is owned by Progress Energy, and is within the site where the Asheville Plant operates.
Progress Energy owns approximately 786 acres with LTZe Julian making up approximately 37 percent of
the acreage. Progress Energy also owns several of the adjacent parcels; not counting the Lake Julian
acreage (295 acres). The Asheville Plant site includes approximately 491 acres of accessible land,
although the topography and on site structures limit the use of much of this land. i ne area where the new
CCP monoriII is to be located consists of approximately 104 acres; located south of the plant. Golder
Associates NC, Inc. (Golder) has prepared this Site Application in accordance with the requirements of
15A NCAC 13t3.U5u3 and .05u4.
As past otthe site suitability and hydrogeologic investigation, several piezometers and soil borings were
installed in order to characterise the subsurface. Soil borurgs were abandoned in accordance with the
North Carolina Well Construction Rules (15A NCAC 2C). Piezometers that are not used for permanent
monitoring will be properly abandoned in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C. The remaining piezometers
and rrnonitorurg wells will be used to collect seasonal groundwater levels and other sig—=cant geological
information.
i SrhE vEScaur i iON
This section d'c5iribccs the site location, its physical layout, and current land usage. Geologic and
hydrogeologic characteristics are uiscussed in a the accompanying Design Hydrogeological Report.
The proposed site is located within the existing Asheville Plant site boundaries in southern Buncombe
County, Nord Caro ml m. The area where the new CCP nnnonoflll is to be located consists of approximately
104 acres, located directly south of the plant. A site location map is provided as Figure 1 and a property
survey plat is provided as Appendix SA -1.
To access the site; head east fionr the intersection of NC Highway 146 and I-26 to the intersection with
CP&L Drive. Turn right (south) onto CP&L Drive to enter the Asheville Plant. The site is bounded on
the west by Interstate 26 and the Frcuch Broad River; by Lake Julian to the east and north; and the
southern portion of the property is bounded by private properties.
The %unem use of the property is for the production of energy through the burning of coal to produce
steam. A portion of the acreage for the proposed tacility was previously used as a dry stacking area and
the remainder is currently used as a NPDES t,cuutted- settling pond.

The Progress Energy Asheville Plant currently operates one NPDES permit (Permit No. NCUUUU39b)
(see Appendix SA -4). under this permit there are two main outtalk on the property that discharge to
Su.0 uudllng aurtacc wat'crS arid- water on the grounds of the pioperry. Specifically to the French Broad
River, Lake Julian, the ash pond treatment system, and an unnamed tributary to Powell Creek. The
Clean Wate Act prohibits any discharges to the waters of the US without an NPDES pm,ull.
Outfall Oul discharges water from the ash pond treatment system directly to the French Broad Rive.
According to the present NPDES permit, the ash pond receives ash transport water, coal pile runott,
stormwater runott, various low volume wastes, air puritier cleaning water, chemical metal cleaning
wastewate, and wat'eiS froin the flue gas desUlfUriaativn wCt Wiubb'ei wastewater treatment system.
Outfall 002 discharges non -contact cooling water directly to Lake Julian. Other putt -116 discharge
stormwater to LTcce Julian and to the un -named tributary to Powell Creek.
The cumiiuction of the CCP monofill will aahm how the various discharges from the plant are treated.

Dear Ms. Pearsall:
October 4. 2006
Golder Associates Inc. is performing a preliminary investigation on the referenced situ, located in Buncombe
County, North Carolina. The area of concern is indicated on a the attached map. The tract of land is located
to the east of Interstate 26 and is adjacent to Lake Julian as indicated on the map.
The area of interest is approximately 88.8 acres. The property nas been used as a fly ash landfill and slurry
pond for the last several years.
We are evaluating the site for potential use as a solid waste landfill facility for fly ash disposal. We anticipate
that development of this site will include construction of new landfill cells, sediment and erosion control
features, access roads, a maintenance Building and other facility support structures.
The regulatory requirements for review and assessment of the presence of endangered or threatened
species of plants, fish or wildlife is contained in Section 0.503 of the Nortn Carolina solid Waste Management
Rules (15A NCAC 13B). These rules require that a landfill be sited in a manner that it does not pose a threat
to any endangered or threatened species or habitat.
Out intentions are to develop the site such that the continuea existence of endangered or threatened species
will not be jeopardized or result in the destruction or adverse modlficaucn of a federally designated critical
habitat. Our goal at this stage oT Me investigation is to identify any obstacles that may deter future
development of this site.
We would appreciate any information conce, ning the known locations of threatened or endangered species
that you nave on record Tor this a, the adjacent properties. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact me at 336-852-4903.

Dea, Mr. Pippin:
The Natural Heritage Frogram has no record of rare species, signiticant natural communities, or
significant natural heritage areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area. Although our maps do
nvt 5hew ,ccu,d5 of Such „atu,al he, aagu elc,,,e„t5 in the p,ojeet a, ea; it doeb not necessarily fiean that
they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natu, al
Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual Held surveys, particularly it the project area
contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at wwwaxi hp.o, g fu, a luting Uf
rare plants and animals and signiticant natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad
map. Alternatively, the NC (;enter for Geographic Intormation and Analysis ((:UTA) provides digital
Naru,al Hc, Mage data v„li„e vi„ a cvat rccuuvury babib. Subscribers can get site specific information on
UIS layers with Natural Heritage Program rare species occurrences and Signitica„ t Natu,al Het nage
Areas. The UUTA website provides Element Uccurrence (EU) Ill numbers (instead of species name), and
the data user is then encouraged to contact the Natural Heritage Program for detailed information. 16is
se, vice allows the usc, to quickly a„d etficie„ fly get bite specific NHP data without visiting the NHP
workroom or waiting for the Intormation Request to Be answered 6y NHP staff. For mo,e Mfv„nat,'vn

Progress Bnergy caro ilinas (rr;L;) - Asheville Steam r;lectric Pl�u�i is a coal fired steam
electric generating plant (2 Units; 2 interndI combustion turbines). The site has 1
ash pend mid a 32u acre cooling pond (Lake Julie). Lake Julie is a 320 -acre
waterbody constructed in 1963 by CP&L to serve as a cooling water source.
Dischm ge from Lake Julian to the French Broad River is extremely rare, and any
occurrence would be during periuds of heavy rY=n . -1Tiere is a current section
316(a) thermal variance for Lake Julian pending renewal.
Recently, the Permit was modified to accommodate changes at the site that are being
made in response to North uarolina's wean Air initiative (Clean Smckestaeks Bill),
which requires the reduction of SUx and NOx from air emissions. As a result of this
initiative, the compauy plans to install Flue uas uesulfarization (FGD), systems at
several plaits, beg' i g with this one. The FGll is essentiffHy a scrubber system to
remove SOx by mixing flue gas with a limestone sluziy. Operation is predicted to

begin in the fourth quarter of 2005. The FGD blowdown is predicted to generate a
flow of 0.108 MGD, with relatively elevated cvncentrativns of metals and chloride.
Progress Energy plans to treat the FGD blowdown via elarMuatiun, equa=z tiun, and
constructed wetlands (this is the same general treatment scenario that Duke Powe
will use). Dilution flow (water from LMEe Julian) will be added to the t;Q basin to
provide dilution for the wetland plants (appx. 0.432 MGD) due to the elevated
chlorides level. The treated FGI7 blowdown will then be routed to the effluent outfall
from the Ash Pond (Uut ll UU1) at the secondary settling basin.
This facility is sub]cut to LPA effluent guidelinellimits prr 4U UFK 42o- Stem E;Icctric
Power Generating Point Source Category.
TOXICITY I ESTING:
Current Requirement: Chronic P/F at 1.9%; January, April, July, October.
Proposed Requirement: C;sronic P/F at l.y%, Janutuy, Rpril, July, October.
The facility has passed all chronic toxicity tcsts during the previous 4.5 years.
c OMPLIANCE SUMMARY: BASED ON THE PREVIOUS 4 YEARS
There are no outstanding and/ur chronic compliance problems related to the NPDES
permit. "There was only one NOV in 2UO3 (one da�i y maximum chlorine violation for
Outfa^II 002). Compliance evaluation inspeution conducted by the Asheville Regionaal
Office on u3 / 31 / u5 to and that facility is in compliance.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Progress is not required to perform any instream monitoring related to OutfaU 001 on
the French Broad Kiver. No additionKI instream monitoring will be required with this
modification.

biological effects of the discharge; extorts shall be made by all dischargers to reduce or eliminate these
substances from the. effluents. Thule saustances for which Action Levels are listed in this Subparagraph
shall be limited as app.up.law iu the Nri)hS permit based on the Action Levels listed in this Subparagraph
if sufficient information (r be dote... muni toi metals by measurements of that portion of the dissolved
instream concentration of the action Level parameter attributable to a specific NPDES permitted
discharge) exists to indicate that any of those substances may be a causative factor resulting in toxicity of
the effluent. NPvrs pe.mit limits may be based on translation of the toxic form to total rumvu.able metals.
