Dear Mr. Valle: This Office reviewed the subject dredge permit application and supporting documents for the proposed dredge project located at the subject property in Mecklenburg County. It is our understanding that the dredging will be performed by a hydraulic dredge. The dredge material is proposed to be placed in an upland basin and effluent returned to the lake with discharge point encircled by a floating turbidity curtain. All work is proposed to be completed within approximately one hundred and thirty six days. Please be advised that your proposed dredge project is within a Critical Area for a potable water intake. It is therefore necessary to use a State approved polymer to reduce turbidity in the event that discharge turbidity exceeds that of background turbidity. A list of approved polymers is enclosed for your reference. Please also note that based on our review of your proposed plans this Office objects to issuance of an excavation permit by Duke Energy. The proposed disposal basin must be of a two basin design with an energy dissipater installed at the outlet of the discharge pipe. Guidelines for design of upland contained disposal basins are enclosed with this cover for reference. It is necessary that plan drawings of the proposed basin be resubmitted to this Office for review. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Roberto Scheller at (704) 235-2204 Enclosed Electronic copies: Roberto Scheller, Senior Environmental Specialist Water Quality Regional Operations Section Mooresville Regional Office Division of Water Resources, DEQ Leticia Raimond, The Rowboat Company, Inc., email: Iraimond@therowboatcompany.com Joseph Klutz, Duke Energy, Lake Services Zahid Khan, DEMLR Chris Goudreau, NCWRC CBC Mooresville Regional Office Location: 610 East Center Ave„ Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115 Phone: (704) 663-16991 Fax: (704) 663-60401 Customer Service:1-877.623-6748 Internet http:llportal.ncienr.orglweblwq An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer— 30% Recycedll O% Post Consumer paper DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES WATER QUALITY REGIONAL OPERATIONS SECTION April 1.2, 1994 (revised June 1, 0, 2014) GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF UPLAND CONTAINED DISPOSAL AREAS WITH RETURN WATER TO COMPLY WITH NATIONWIDE PERMIT 16 AND GENERAL CERTIFICATION NO. 3888 IN THE PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA PURPOSE: Hydraulic dredging in piedmont lakes often requires utilization of an upland diked disposal area with a return pipe for the return water in order to handle the volumes of water involved. This activity requires Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 16 and DWR Certification Number 3888. This Certification requires that measures be taken to control turbidity in order not to violate the state Water Resources standard for turbidity which is 25 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) for lakes and reservoirs (15A NCAC 2B .0211 (b) (K)). Water Quality Certification No. 3888 can be viewed at this link: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/certsandpermits/gcs#Isolated Compliance with this numeric standard can be met if proper Best Management Practices (BMPs) are in "full compliance governing the proper design, installation, operation and maintenance of such BMPs". If measures in this guidance document are followed, the discharge of return water from upland diked disposal sites in the piedmont will be in compliance with this standard. This document will be modified as more information is available concerning the effectiveness of the measures outlined below. It is the responsibility of the applicant and operator to be certain that they are working with the latest version of this document. In addition, DWR may impose additional measures to protect water quality on a case -by -case basis (such as silt curtains), if site inspection or monitoring data indicate that water quality standards are being violated. Additional measures may be imposed by the N.C. Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources under the Sediment and Erosion Control laws. DESIGN: Two basins must be utilized in series as shown on the attached sketch. Each basin must have a volume ration of at least 1:1 (volume of basin to total volume of material to be pumped). The length of the basin should be at least twice the width. Also, both basins must maintain at least one food of freeboard from the top of the dike to the top of the drainage pipe to allow storage of rainfall and for emergencies in case of pipe blockage. All dike walls shall be at no more than a 2:1 slope. These shall be seeded after construction. The top of dikes should be at least seven feet wide unless the material in the basin will not be removed. In those cases, a five foot minimum width would be required. Dike walls should be seeded for erosion control after construction. Basins should be designed to prevent stoiniwater from entering the basins. The permanent water table should be no higher than the bottom of the basins. An energy dissipater shall be installed at the outlet of the discharge pipe. Page Two Projects with more than a total of 300 cubic yards of dredge material shall use a dual basin design as outlined below. Projects with less than 300 cubic yards of material can use a single basin if the inlet and outlet pipes do not line up. In a dual basin design, the first basin is intended to remove the coarser soil particles. Therefore, a one foot freeboard must be maintained between sediment level in the basin and the bottom of the pipe which connects the two basins. The second basin must employ a riser and barrel pipe design with an anti -seep collar and is designed to remove the finer particles. The riser shall be equipped with an anti -vortex collar. The riser shall be perforated in order to allow gradual drawdown and be packed on the outside with gravel to facilitate filtration. The base of the riser should be anchored in concrete and designed to be non -buoyant. The riser to conduit ratio should be about 1.5:1. The top of the dike shall be at least two feet higher than the top of the perforated riser pipe. Holes in the lower one-half of the riser shall be a minimum of one-half inches in diameter and spaced no more than three inches apart. The size of the drains should be set to allow the static discharge of 1.3 times the dynamic capacity of the pump. Generally an 8-inch dredge will require an 18-inch drainpipe while a 10-inch dredge will generally require a 24-inch drainpipe. The intake pipe should have an "L-shaped" bevel in the pipe to discourage short-circuiting and result in better settling. INSTALLATION: Care shall be taken during installation to ensure that the basins have been installed properly. Once installation is complete, the applicant shall notify (in writing and by telephone) the appropriate DWR Regional Office at least two days before operation begins to allow DWR staff time to schedule a site visit, if warranted. If DWR staff has not visited the site within two working days after the telephone contact, the dredging operation may begin. OPERATION: During operation, measures shall be taken to ensure that all above -described practices and designs are in place and operating effectively. Dikes shall not be overtopped with water at any time. Adequate erosion and sediment control measures must be provided for all material removed from the basins. The area near the discharge pipe should be dredged last. MAINTENANCE: Measures shall be taken to ensure that the one foot of freeboard is maintained during pumping as outlined above. Pumps shall be turned off and basins shall be cleaned out to maintain this freeboard. Material removed from the basins shall be placed in an upland area which is not jurisdictional wetlands or waters of the state. The trash rack on the riser shall be cleaned as necessary to maintain proper operation. Access must be provided to DWR inspectors to allow the collection of water samples at several points during the treatment process to verify the effectiveness of the treatment facility. h;140 llbasindesign.doc LAKE GENERAL SETTLING BASIN DESIGN Guidance in Complying with Genera!

Summary of Clean-up Actions: To prevent further discharge of latex water/rain water to Mallard Creek, MCP created two temporary basins beyond the outfall pipe. Culler Grading created the temporary basins. Envirovac was utilized to suction water collected in the temporary basins as well as suctioning pools of white water beyond the outfall pipe. Envirovac had a vacuum truck and one crew of two personnel. Initially it was thought that the containment pond valve malfunctioned. Upon further investigation, it was the valve was operating properly but the water was leaking around the original corrugated pipe. The area pri© the valve was dammed by Culler Grading to prevent water from entering the first temporary basin beyond the outfall pipe. Due to availability of personnel during the Christmas holiday, a contract was set-up with Hepaco. Hepaco had two crews with two vacuum trucks available to suction the main containment pond with latex water. They worked December 25, 2015 from 4:00 pm to 12:00 pm to empty the water inside the containment pond. On December 26, 2015, Culler Grading was used to remove the compromised, original corrugated pipe and fill the area with earth. One Envirovac crew was on site while the pipe was removed. December 28, 2015, Culler Grading was utilized to backfill the two temporary basins. Rain from Sunday, December 27 re -filled the containment pond which was suctioned by one Envirovac crew with one vacuum truck. Water was maintained and kept inside the containment pond.

The event was reported to the National Response Center (Report #1136594). I attempted to call both offices, but the offices were closed for the holidays. The substance that was discharged was a mixture of an MCP product Tylac 4190 and rainwater. It is estimated that 180 gallons of the Tylac 4190 / rainwater was discharged. This was based on estimated flow rate for a 2 hour period. The discharge flow was stopped at approximately 10:00 am. The latex produces a white discoloration of the water. Tylac 4190 is a non -hazardous white polymer emulsion liquid in 50% water with a pH of 6-9. The spill occurred while filling totes of the product. The operator forgot to close a valve in the system due to operator error. Rain water took the latex to Outfall Point #1. Prior to the actual outfall discharge point, MCP is able to contain storm water in a containment pond in the event of a spill. The material was initially contained, however, a faulty valve allowed material to escape for approximately 2 hours during a rain event at a rate of approximately 3 gal/min. MCP is in the process of repairing the valve and cleaning the discharge via vacuum truck. Please call me or Scot Whyte (Plant Manager) with any questions. Scot can be reached at 704-491-8733.

At 7:30am the EHS team was notified that an oily sheen was found in the traffic yard heading towards the outfall #1. Containment procedures began at 7:40am to prevent the oily sheen from penetrating the outflow. The team utilized 35 pigs, 4 booms, and 50 absorbent spill pads to contain the oil sheen in less than 30 minutes. Upon preliminary investigation it was determined that the oil water separator for the wash bay and maintenance shop had a clogged outflow pipe that caused the overflow of oily water to occur, The overflow of oily water occurred every 10 minutes for about 20 seconds and was not a continuous flow of liquid. An estimated 18.5 gallons of fuel was release from the tank. During the investigation we found a light residual sheen located at our outfall creek about 200 ft. off our site. According to General Permit No, NCG060000 - Certificate of Coverage No. NCG060175, we have been authorized to discharge storm water to receiving waters designated as Steele Creek, a class C waterbody in the Catawba River Basin. To protect the effluent water, we placed 3 booms at this location to absorb any residual oily water mixture. As of 10/01/2015 there is no longer a sheen on the effluent and no impact to vegetation or soil. HAZ-MAT Environmental Services arrived on site at 9:00am and began to drain the oil water separator, stopping the overflow. As of 10/01/2015 all remediation actions had taken place, including the cleaning of the oil water separator tank, the traffic yard asphalt, as well as the area around the outfall. Roto Rooter conducted an investigation 10/01/2015 and determined a clog in our outflow pipe for the oil water separator caused the overflow event. As a short term preventative action, monthly preventative maintenance inspections will be taking place to prevent further occurrences. Please, feel free to contact the EH&S team if there is any additional information that we need to provide for this event.

Best Regards, Keyes McGee North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Assistance & Customer Service 1639 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1639 Phone: (919) 707-8134 Email correspondence to and from this address is subject to the NC Public Records Law February 10, 2014 Eddie Hawks Corporate Safety Manager Delhaize America Shared Services Group, LLC. PO Box 1330 Salisbury, NC 28147 SUBJECT: Grease Interceptor Emergency Closure Work Plan (Food Lion #2217) Dear Mr, Hawks: Food Lion operates a grocery store (#2217) located at 6430 W. Sugar Creek Road, Charlotte, NC 28269 (Mecklenburg County) that was recently vandalized by the introduction of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) -containing oils and sanitary waste into the grease interceptor located at the rear of the store. Although Food Lion is not responsible for the presence of PCBs in the grease interceptor they have been required to have the grease interceptor and associated pipeline appropriately cleaned of PCB or completely replaced as they utilize the grease interceptor during store operations. Upon completion of cleaning and/or removal procedures, Food Lion will also be responsible for arranging proper transportation and disposal of the PCBs. A summary of the sampling activities conducted at the site in order to characterize the PCB -contamination is provided below. Additionally, the plan for emergency removal and replacement of the grease interceptor is described below. Summary of Sampling Activities Sampling was conducted on February 7, 2014 to determine the extent of contamination resulting from the unauthorized PCB disposal. HEPACO collected samples of the contents of the grease interceptor, The samples were submitted to Pace Analytical Laboratories Inc., a NEI.AP Accredited laboratory, for analysis of PCBs by US EPA Method 8082A. Samples were collected from the two compartments in the grease interceptor separately and at three levels within the interceptor, the grease layer, the middle height of the liquid, and liquid at the bottom of the tank. The two grease layer samples ranged in PCB concentration from 1.68 to 25.1 mg/L. The liquid samples in the middle depth ranged from 1.13 to 17.1 mg/L and the liquid samples from the bottom ranged from 430 to 3,410 mg/L. These concentrations require that the materials removed from this tank be transported to a facility licensed to dispose of Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)-regulated waste. Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utility Division sampled the grease interceptor and determined that there were also levels of trichlorobenzene present in the liquids of the interceptor. Additional sampling to determine if any additional contaminants of concern are present will be required in order to determine final waste characterization. Regulatory Requirements for PCB Contaminated Sites PCB contaminated materials must contain PCBs at concentrations of less than 1.0 parts per million (ppm or mg/kg) in order to be completely unregulated for disposal off -site without an approval from US EPA. Preliminary sampling results indicate that PCB concentrations are greater than 50 ppm. TSCA regulations and policy statements offer several basic approaches for the cleanup and disposal of PCB contaminated material (e.g., soil, concrete) resulting from spills or other releases of PCBs into the environment, which can be used during art emergency response. These approaches are regulatory and are cited in 40 CFR 761.61. The approach under US EPA's "PCB Spill Cleanup Policy," is an enforcement policy and is codified in 40 CFR 761 subpart G. With regard to the regulatory approaches, the self -implementing on -site cleanup and disposal of PCB remediation waste approach at 40 CFR 761.61(a) (self - implementing approach) and the risk -based disposal approval approach at 40 CFR 761.61(c) (risk- based approach), address both cleanup and disposal. For the purposes of this emergency removal action, the risk -based approach will be utilized, as applicable. Additionally, 40 CFR 761.61 indicates that specific requirements for PCB remediation waste do not prohibit quick action to protect human health and the environment through the implementation of temporary emergency measures to prevent, treat, or contain further releases or mitigate migration to the environment of PCBs or PCB -contaminated materials. However, each approach differs with regard to its sampling, cleanup, and disposal requirements, thereby offering a range of options. The decision of which approach to apply depends upon site characteristics, land use, how much time and resources are available for cleaning up the release, and other factors. For the Food Lion site, PCB waste has been pumped out of the grease interceptor and placed into 55-gallon metal drums for transport and disposal. Containers will be appropriately labeled and will be disposed of following the procedures described below. Remediation activities for the grease interceptor are described in the following section. Safety and Health Procedures The removal of materials and decontamination of the equipment is subject to coverage under the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) regulations. All employees performing work on this site associated with the removal of PCB materials and the decontamination of the grease interceptor must have current certifications for the 40-hour HAZWOPER training. Primary routes of entry into the body for PCB are ingestion and inhalation. Because skin exposure often leads to accidental ingestion, control of skin exposure is also required. For this reason, workers doing tasks that may lead to exposure will be required to wear Saranex coveralls with head covering as necessary, PVC/Chemical Boots, two layers of gloves, and hard hat. When entering a confined space where elevated concentrations of PCB might occur, a full -face air purifying respirator outfitted with organic vapor filter cartridges is also required. HEPACO personnel will follow additional safety equipment requirements as dictated by their internal procedures. The grease interceptor is a permit -required confined space and HEPACO personnel will follow their company procedures with regard to entering a permit -required confined space. Prior to HEPACO personnel entering the grease interceptor, power ventilation will be provided to ensure a safe atmosphere for working conditions. The atmosphere will be tested and a confined space entry permit will be issued, consistent with HEPACO work practices and OSHA regulations. A tripod man lift will be used with a steel cable retrieval line to tether the worker's harness to allow retrieval of the worker from the confined space. An attendant will be present at all times a worker is in the confined space, performing constant monitoring of ambient air conditions. If excavations greater than four feet are required and people will enter the excavation, the OSHA regulations regarding excavation safety will be adhered to. When the grease interceptor is demolished and a new grease interceptor is installed, appropriate excavation safety procedures will be followed with regard to the safety of personnel entering the excavation. Grease Interceptor Emergency Removal/Closure Procedures The grease interceptor will be initially emptied of the PCB contaminated contents using a vacuum truck and/or pump. After removal of the contents, the grease interceptor will be cleaned with pressurized hot water to remove loose residuals and the rinsate. This rinsate will then be collected into the vacuum truck, subsequently drummed, and consolidated with the other wastes. HEPACO personnel will enter the grease interceptor and scrape the walls and floor of any remaining residues. The next step will be to assess the integrity of the influent and effluent lines to evaluate whether there is a potential for additional risk of soil contamination that arises from the use of a jet rod cleaning unit in these lines. If voids or breaches are observed, then the line with the observed fault will be excavated and replaced, as necessary. The effluent plumbing system for the shopping center is covered by 4 inches of asphalt. HEPACO will clean the line from the grease interceptor using a jet rod machine from the grease interceptor to the furthest point that can be reached with the unit. The jet rod is designed to pressurize a liquid cleaning solution and pull it back to the point where the jet rod was placed inside the pipeline. HEPACO will use a degreasing cleaner to wash the discharge line from the furthest point that can be reached back to the tank. This should adequately decontaminate the PVC lines for purposes of eliminating the source of PCB entering the public sewer system. Confirmation, wipe samples from the influent and effluent lines will be collected consistent with US EPA policy (US EPA, Wipe Sampling and Double Wash/Rinse Cleanup as Recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency PCB Spill Cleanup Policy, June 23, 1987, Revised and Clarified on April 18, 1991) arid samples will be submitted to Pace Analytical Laboratory, Inc. for PCB analysis by US EPA Method 8082A, Once the integrity of the influent line has been verified, the jet rod cleaner will be used to clean from the influent line from the final clean out inside the building to the tie with the temporary by-pass line. To do this, the first action will be to uncover the temporary by-pass line. The jet rod will be used to clean approximately 10 feet up the influent line to the grease interceptor. Once cleaning is complete, new PVC pipe will be used to reconnect for temporary use. The store can resume normal activity levels once this line is connected again. The section of temporary by-pass line removed will be disposed of as PCB remediation waste. Serious experience for serious times. After the influent line is deaned, the effluent line will be cleaned. The jet rod unit will be inserted into the effluent line as far as it will go and the line will be cleaned back to the grease interceptor. Once the effluent line is cleaned and the walls are scraped, the inside of the tank will be cleaned using a pressurized sprayer and a degreaser will be applied to remove the oily residue from the walls. After sufficient contact time, the walls will be rinsed with water to remove the degreaser. The cleaning step will be repeated, as necessary, until the walls of the unit appear to be free of accumulated oils and greases. Liquids generated by the cleaning process will be collected into the vacuum truck and subsequently drummed for proper disposal with other fluids that are removed from the grease interceptor. Samples of the concrete will be collected using a 1 inchdrill bit in a hammer drill. Care will be taken to limit the depth of the drilled hole to 1/2 inch or less of depth. Each sample will require collection of at least 30 grams of sample. Based on information provided by US EPA regarding core sampling, approximately four holes will be drilled at each sample location in order to collect an adequate amount of sample material. These four holes will be drilled within a six inch diameter circle marked at each sample location and the collected material will be composited to form one sample. Future Grease Interceptor Replacement Prior to removal of the grease interceptor and confined space entry will be required to sample the influent and effluent lines to determine if any PCB contamination is present. In order to demolish the tank a backhoe mounted jack hammer tip or excavator mounted jack hammer will be required. The tank will be broken into pieces small enough to be staged in a hazardous waste roll -off container for disposal in accordance with disposal procedures described in the following section. Once the tank is out of the excavation, any visibly contaminated soils will be excavated and placed into the hazardous waste roll -off and staged for disposal in accordance with disposal procedures described in the following section. Upon removal of the grease interceptor, confirmation sampling will be conducted on the underlying soils to confirm PCB concentrations are less than one ppm (1,0 Serious oxpertence for sertous ing/kg). Two grab samples will be collected from the soil at the bottom of the pit Two soil samples will also be collected from each of the four sidewalls of the pit. The excavator will excavate soils from the bottom and sidewalls and each of the samples will be collected from the excavator scoop. Sampling personnel will not enter the pit for sample collection. Samples will be submitted to Pace Analytical Laboratory, Inc, for PCB analysis by US EPA Method 8082A. The excavation will be covered and barricaded to prevent unauthorized entry and the excavation will be left open until the results from the confirmation samples are received. Excavation of bottom and sidewall soils will continue until confirmation samples result in PCB concentrations less than one ppm. Upon confirmation of PCB concentrations in the soils and inlet line are below one ppm, a new grease interceptor will be installed in the same location by a pltunbing contractor. The temporary by-pass will be disconnected and the inlet line will be routed to the new grease interceptor, Influent and Effluent Lines If the confirmation sample from the influent or discharge line from the grease interceptor shows that the line is not adequately dean (wipe test greater than 10 pg/100 crn2), the concrete over the line will be cut and removed and the line will be demolished and replaced. Removal of the line will be done by HEPACO and replacement of the line will be made by a licensed plumbing contractor. Equipment Decontamination Procedures Sampling equipment decontamination wiU be performed in accordance with procedures described in the site Health and Safety Plan. Equipment will be decontaminated in accordance with HEPACO procedures and consistent with US EPA policy (US EPA, Wipe Sampling and Double Wash/Rinse Cleanup as Recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency PCB Spill Cleanup Policy, June 23, 1987, Revised and Clarified on April 18, 1991). Disposable personnel protective equipment, sampling equipment and related disposal items will be placed into a plastic trash bag and placed into a steel drurn, labeled and sent for disposal with the other PCB remediation waste associated with this site. PCB Derived Waste Disposal Procedures PCB waste will be transferred to 55-gallon drums and held until confirmation samples demonstrate that sufficient soils have been removed and the excavation is ready for replacement of the grease interceptor. Demolition materials will be contained in a plastic -lined hazardous waste roll -off container. Investigation and Serious experience for serlvus limes: demolition waste is assumed to contain PCB concentrations greater than 50 ppm for disposal purposes. Bull< PCB remediation waste at concentrations of 50 ppm or greater must be disposed of in a RCRA Sec. 3004 or 3006 permitted hazardous waste landfill or an approved PCB disposal facility (e.g., incinerator, chemical waste landfill; an approved alternate disposal method or coordinated approval - see 40 CFR §761 .61(a)(5)(i)(B)(2)(iii)). A Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest must accompany PCB waste at concentrations of 50 ppm or greater (>_ 50 ppm) to any off - site storage or disposal facilities (see 40 CFR §761 .208), except as provided at 40 CFR §§761 .61(a)(5)(i)(B)(2)(ii) and 761.61(a)(5)(v)(A). A signed copy of each manifest must be retained for a period of three years (40 CFR §761 .209(a). Waste derived from the grease interceptor removal and closure will be disposed of by Chemical Waste Management in Emelle, Alabama.

II. GENERAL COMMENTS: This laboratory analyzes ambient waters from the county and maintains voluntary certification. Their proficiency testing study for 2014 is complete and the results were 100% acceptable. This laboratory operates with numerous instruments and technicians in the field. When analyzing Proficiency Testing (PT) samples, the functioning instruments are calibrated by various sample technicians, and the PT sample is then analyzed by a primary analyst on each instrument. The median result is used for reporting. Since the last inspection, the laboratory has obtained Luminescence Dissolved Oxygen (LDO) probes for the multi -meters. Method ASTM D 888-09 C (LDO) has been added to the facility's certification. The staff was easy to work with and knowledgeable and proud of their program. III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Documentation A. Finding: The laboratory needs to increase the documentation of purchased materials and reagents. Requirement: All chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used by the laboratory must have the following information documented: Date Received, Date Opened (in use), Vendor, Lot Number, and Expiration Date. This information must be retained for chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used for a period of five years. Consumable materials such as pH buffers and lots of pre -made standards are included in this requirement. Ref: Quality Assurance Policies for Field Laboratories. Comment: Vendor and lot numbers of pH buffers and conductivity standards need to be recorded. Page 2 #5235 Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program Conductivity — Standard Methods 2510 B-1997 Dissolved Oxygen — Standard Methods 4500 0 G-2001 pti — Standard Methods 4500 H+ B-2000 Temperature — Standard Methods 2550 B-2000 B. Finding: The laboratory benchsheet was lacking pertinent data: sample collection time, analysis time, and units of measure. Requirement: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Certified Data must consist of date collected, time collected, sample site, sample collector, and sample analysis time. The field bench sheets must provide a space for the signature or initials of the analyst, and proper units of measure for all analyses. Ref: 15A NCAC 02H .0805 (g) (1). Comment: Since analyses are performed in situ, the time collected and time analyzed need to be clarified as being the same. A single time was entered on the stream field data sheet labeled as "time collected" and in the lake book labeled as "time". This requirement may be fulfilled by adding a statement to the benchsheet indicating that the time documented is both collection and analysis time. Comment: Units were missing from the stream field data sheet, but included in the lake book. Conductivity — Standard Methods 2510 B-1997 C. Finding: The Automatic Temperature Compensator (ATC) has not been verified annually (every 12 months). Requirement: The ATC must be verified annually (Le., every twelve months) and the process documented. The ATC must be verified by analyzing a standard at 25 °C (the temperature that conductivity values are compensated to) and a temperature(s) that brackets the temperature ranges of the samples to be analyzed. This may require the analysis of a third temperature reading that is > 25 °C. Ref: NC WW/GW LC Approved Procedure for Field Analysis of Specific Conductance (Conductivity). Requirement: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Ref: 15A NCAC 02H .0805 (g) (1). Comment: The ATC had been verified on 9/2/2014 and in the past, but the laboratory could not produce a record of consistent annual checks. Temperature — Standard Methods 2550 B-2000 D. Finding: The temperature sensing device on the multi probe meter, used to obtain reported temperature values, has not been calibrated against a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable thermometer annually (every 12 months). Requirement: Thermometers and temperature measuring devices, used to measure temperature for compliance monitoring, must be checked every 12 months against a NIST traceable thermometer. The thermometer/meter readings must be less than or equal to 1°C from the NIST traceable thermometer reading. The documentation must include the serial number of the NIST traceable thermometer that was used in the comparison. Document any correction that applies on both the thermometer/meter and on a separate sheet to be filed. Ref; NC 1NVV/GW LC Approved Procedure for the Analysis of Temperature. Page 3 #5235 Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program E. Finding: The temperature correction has not been posted nor has the correction been applied to the documented temperature reading. Requirement: The following must be documented in indelible ink whenever sample analysis is performed. 7. The temperature correction (even if it is zero) must be posted on the meter as well as in hard copy format (to be retained for five years). Ref: NC WW/GW LC Approved Procedure for the Analysis of Temperature. Requirement: The following must be documented in indelible Ink whenever sample analysis is performed. 5. Document sample temperature measurements with any applicable temperature corrections applied. Ref: NC WW/GW LC Approved Procedure for the Analysis of Temperature. IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION: No paper trail performed since the laboratory holds certification voluntarily and data is not reported to the State. V. CONCLUSIONS: Correcting the above -cited findings will help this lab to produce quality data and meet certification requirements. The inspectors would like to thank the staff for its assistance during the inspection and data review process. Please respond to all findings.

Ostrander: On April 17, 2014, Mr. Kent Smith from this Office conducted an inspection at the subject site in response to a complaint. During the inspection it was noted that impervious material had been utilized for a seating area/fire pit within the 30-foot riparian buffer that exists above the full -pond elevation of Lake Norman. The Catawba Riparian Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 2B. 0243) regulates impacts within the buffer. The construction of a seating area/fire pit within the buffer is not allowed. Such being the case, the materials used to construct the seating area must be removed. An optional material (such as mulch or decking) that is impervious and will allow water to pass through is allowable. Please contact this office within fifteen days of receipt of this letter as to your plan of action to address this matter and a date as to when the area will be returned to compliance with the Catawba Buffer Rule.

We are also in receipt of correspondence from Jason L. Dorn, P.E., of Gavel & Dorn Engineering, PLLC dated November 11, 2013 and received on November 13, 2013.. In your correspondence, you referenced the depression on the dam above the spillway culvert, and stated that the depression was not mentioned in the letter (referring to the Notice of Deficiency). Item 5 of the Notice of Deficiency states "A depression on the crest between the primary spillway conduit and the emergency spillway conduit indicates possible poor compaction of the embankment. The structural stability of the dam should be further evaluated in accordance with 15A NCAC 2K .0208." During discussions conducted on August 21, 2013 between you and Ms. Tamera Eplin, PE, of this Section, she stated that the depression appeared not to change from her original inspection of the dam, conducted on May 22, 2011.Although the depression may not have changed significantly over the course of about a year, the depression itself indicates that the dam was not constructed with proper compaction, and therefore the structural stability of the dam should be evaluated as part of investigations in support of a dam repair plan.

We appreciate your response and look forward to receipt of your submittal. Please note that any excavation into this darn or other repair work to this dam must be approved by this Division before any work is done. Also note that this dam may not be breached, meaning the dam may not be drained by cutting a notch in the dam without prior engineered breach plans being submitted to and approved by this Division in accordance with references noted above. Failure to complete the application process to repair or breach this dam may result in enforcement action. Enforcement action could include a civil penalty of up to $500.00 per day of violation, and/or issuance of a Dam Safety Order requiring the repair or removal of this dam, and/or injunctive relief to gain compliance. It is recommended that you or your engineer direct questions related to repair or breach applications or the dam plan review process to Mr. Steve McEvoy, PE, State Dam Safety Engineer at telephone number (919) 707-9220, or me at telephone number (704) 663-1699.

Skvarla, III, Secretary The "Dam Safety Law of 1967," as amended, provides for the certification and inspection of dams in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare, in order to reduce the risk of failure of such dams; to prevent injuries to persons, damage to property; and to insure the maintenance of stream flows [North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143- 21524]. Our records indicate that you are the owner and/or responsible for the referenced dam. On June 14, 2012, you were issued a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) for the referenced dam, which is located off Elizabeth. Road in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County. On August 21, 2013, Land Quality Section staff inspected the dam to assess its current condition and to meet with you at your request. The following observations were made: The dam spillway outlet pipe has been modified such that the pipe flow extends out the side and bottom of the spillway outlet, as noted in prior inspections and correspondence. 2. Erosion underneath the outlet extends into the dam, embankment for a non -determined length. Personnel of this Division recently completed an internal hydrologic and hydraulic review (H&H) of the dam in order to confirm hazard potential. The review confirms the spillway system will not pass the runoff generated by a storm event that produces one-third of the probable maximum precipitation for the area, as currently mandated by the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) [15A NCAC 2K .0205]. 4. The dam does not have a conduit to drain the pond as is required pursuant to 1.5A NCAC 2K .0206.

A depression on the crest between the primary spillway conduit and the emergency spillway conduit indicates possible poor compaction of the embankment. The structural stability of the dam should be further evaluated in accordance with 15A NCAC 2K .0208. The NOD issued June 14, 2012 requested further engineering study to determine appropriate remedial measures. In order to ensure the safety of this dam, you were directed to retain the services of a registered professional engineer or an experience engineering firm to make a study of the conditions outlined in the NOD. Plans and specifications for repair based on the results of the study were to be filed with the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources for approval pursuant to North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 2K — Dam Safety (15A NCAC 2K). The NOD also requested that two copies of an Emergency Action Plan for this dam be submitted to this office by October 1, 2012. In addition to the above, the following remedial actions, not requiring design or approval, was requested to be completed by October 1, 2012: Trees and bushes that are growing on the dam and have a trunk diameter that is less than 6 inches should be cut or removed entirely from the embankment. Trees and bushes can cause problems and even failure of the dam by creating holes when trees are uprooted due to wind or ice; by leaving possible seepage holes when trees die and their roots decay; and by causing erosion of the dam around this growth should the dam overtop during heavy rains. Although it is not our policy to allow any trees to grow on a dam, it is recommended that all trees greater than six inches in diameter be left on the dam. Trees larger than six inches in diameter that pose a threat to the structural integrity of the dam and need removal require an engineer's supervision and prior approval from this Division. Please also note that all cut growth should be removed from the dam. On August 6, 2012, this Division received an application dated August 3, 2012.from Mr. Jack Palmer, PE, of Gavel & Dorn Engineering, PLLC for jurisdictional and hazard classification determination of the subject dam. On September 19, 2012, this Division issued a response requesting additional information, revision, and comment. To date, we have not received the requested information, nor plans and specifications for repair. Additionally, an Emergency Action Plan has not been submitted. We are in receipt of your correspondence dated June 29, 2013 and received on July 2, 2013, in which you stated. clarification was needed regarding the hazard potential of the dam. A copy of the H&H summary memo dated July 30, 2013 was provided to you during the August 21, 2013 inspection. The H&H review confirms the high hazard potential classification of the dam. Your correspondence also referenced a second earthen channel emergency spillway for the dam. During the August 21, 2013 inspection, the location of the second earthen channel emergency spillway could not be defined, though a low area directing flow from adjacent property away from the pond area was observed to the left and in the area of the left abutment of the dam. The deficiencies of your dam remain unresolved. Please provide a written response to advise us of your intended actions in this matter. If we do not receive notification on or before November 15, 2013, we shall present the case David and Rose Samonds Samonds Dam Notice of Inspection MECKL-214 October 10, 2013 Page 3 of 3 information for appropriate enforcement action. Enforcement action could include a civil penalty of up to $500.00 per day of violation, and/or issuance of a Dam Safety Order requiring the repair or removal of this dam, and/or injunctive relief to gain compliance. Please be advised that the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources must approve any excavation, modification, or major repair work to this dam before the work commences. Also, note that this dam may not be breached, meaning the dam may not be drained by cutting a notch in the dam, without prior engineered breach plans being submitted to and approved by the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources. If you have an emergency situation during non -office hours, you should notify 911 and the State Emergency Operations Center at 1 (800) 858-0368. They will notify the appropriate personnel in this Office of the situation. Please notify this Office in writing if you wish to assert that you have no ownership or are otherwise not responsible for maintenance or repairs to the subject dam. It is recommended that you or your engineer direct questions related to repair or breach applications, the dam plan review process, or Emergency Action Plans to our dam safety staff at (919) 707-9220.

Catawba-Wateree Water Management Group 5-Year Strategic Operating Plan Page 1 of 3 Catawba-Wateree Water Management Group Overview The Catawba-Wateree Water Management Group (WMG) exists to identify, fund and manage projects that help extend and enhance the capacity of the Catawba-Wateree River to meet human water needs while maintaining the ecological health of the waterway. Incorporated in late 2007, this 501(c)(3) non-profit group came out of the 3Vz-year stakeholder process associated with Duke Energy's relicensing of the Catawba-Wateree Hydro Project, part of a Comprehensive Relicensing Agreement (CRA) that defines how the basin will be managed for the next 40 to 50 years. A Five -Year Planning Horizon Each December, the WMG extends its Five -Year Projects Strategic Plan. This Plan defines strategies for meeting the Group's purpose and outlines the projects it will undertake to support the strategies. Between 2009 and 2013, the Group's projects will fall into three broad areas. Demand -Side Norms, Trends and Opportunities projects will focus first on better understanding the region's water consumption trends, and then on developing strategies to better manage these trends to effect long-term per capita water use reductions. Better understanding the region's current economic dependencies on water consumption will be a key to the success of these projects. Supply -Side Opportunities projects will investigate constraints on increasing the basin's usable water storage, and will optimize the location and water depths of new intakes, independent of jurisdictional boundaries. These projects also will evaluate ways to improve water delivery and consumption efficiency by optimizing water return locations, improving operational flexibility and better aligning water supply sources and returns with service areas. System -Wide Drought Preparation and Management projects will improve the effectiveness and regional coordination of drought preparation and management. They will improve communications among regional governing bodies and enhance water conservation education for water consumers. Projects Underway or Completed At its outset, the WMG initiated projects that will. 1) improve the region's ability to monitor and respond to droughts, and 2) explore long-term approaches to extend the Catawba-Wateree River's ability to support the region's future water and electricity needs. Ground Water Monitoring: WMG committed more than $550,000 over four years to improve three existing groundwater monitoring wells and to install seven new wells located in both North and South Carolina. This network of monitoring wells will help the region better assess when it is appropriate to remove water use restrictions necessary during severe droughts. In 2008, two existing groundwater wells were upgraded, and a new well near Camden, SC area was drilled and is being outfitted. Two new wells and an upgrade of the third existing well are slated for 2009. Constructed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which is contributing $181,900 in joint funding, these wells will become part of the USGS' nationwide network of wells and streamflow gauges that provide daily readings available to the public over the Web. Intake and Discharge Mapping: Nearing completion is a project that is generating comprehensive GIS maps of existing and projected public water service areas overlaid with the locations of existing water intakes and discharges in the Catawba-Wateree and neighboring river basins. These maps will enable planners to identify future intake and discharge locations that optimize use of the water stored in the Catawba-Wateree reservoirs. CATAWBA WATEREE WAYER MANAGEMENT GROUP New Projects for 2009 Beginning its first full funding year, the WMG is initiating projects in each of its three areas of emphasis that will: 1) improve its understanding of landscape irrigation, one of the region's largest seasonal uses of water, 2) initiate systems to better coordinate and improve member communications with customers, state regulators, and other stakeholders, 3) develop and disseminate information to help the region better understand the importance of water and water use today and in the future, and 4) further explore feasible approaches to extend the availabity of water from the Catawba- Wateree River. Page 2 of 3 Lakefront Smart Irrigation Study: To explore opportunities to improve water consumption trends, The WMG will evaluate the effectiveness of "smart" irrigation controllers in improving landscape watering efficiency. Smart controllers will use soil moisture content and other parameters to decide when and how much irrigation water is needed. The study will involve selected property owners that withdraw water directly from the lakes for landscape irrigation. WMG Web Site: The WMG will take over and expand www.saveyourwater.org to house resources on conservation and wise water use, to better coordinate and manage water supply and use among WMG members, and to facilitate efficient reporting, monitoring and measurement. Public Information on Wise Water Use: The WMG will kick-off what promises to be a long -running campaign to improve awareness, understanding, and planning of the region's water use. Approaches' to Extend Safe Yield: The WMG will begin its investigation of approaches to extend the safe yield of the system such as optimizing locations of intakes and returns or adjustment in systems operational protocols. Because the result could provide guidance for water suppliers all over the country, the WMG will apply for grants to cost - share its funding. 2909 Leadership Chair Barry Gullet, Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities Vice Chair Jeff Morse, Town of Valdese, NC Secretary/Treasurer Jeff Lineberger, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC North Carolina At -Large Director Kevin Greer, City of Hickory, NC South Carolina At -Large Director Mike Bailes, Catawba River Water Treatment Plant Members Projects are funded by dues from voluntary members representing Duke and the large water suppliers that use storage in the 11-lake Catawba- Wateree Project system.

The CRA anticipates a 50-year term for the Project's New License, and relicensing studies concluded that over that term the demands on both the basin's water supply and the Project's storage capability will increase significantly and approach or exceed the storage limits that the Project can provide during certain drought situations. In its Section 5.0 and Appendix N, the CRA calls for the establishment of the Catawba- Wateree Basin Water Management Group (WMG or Group) and defines its purposes, objectives, and membership structure — a group of voluntary members that contribute dues to the WMG. The Water Management Group will identify, fund, and manage projects that will help ecologically preserve, extend, and enhance the capabilities of the Catawba-Wateree (C- W) River Basin to provide water resources for human needs (water supply, power production, industry, agriculture, and commerce) of the waterway. The Group will strive to improve coordination of efforts and the pooling of resources to accomplish its objectives. Purpose of the WMG Projects Strategic Plan The CRA also calls for the development of a running Five -Year Projects Strategic Plan (Plan); the first one was completed by December 31, 2007. Because a primary function of the WMG is to develop, fund, and manage projects that will further the Group's mission, the Plan is intended to provide strategic direction for the Group capturing the results of the Group's deliberations on the types of projects it will undertake and how the projects will be funded by dues collected from its Members. Overview of the WMG Project Plan One of the projects supports the US Geological Survey's (USGS) installation, operation and maintenance of groundwater monitoring wells to enhance the implementation of the Low Inflow Protocol. AD of the other projects in the Plan are presented in the context of three areas of work intended to eventually make up a Catawba-Wateree Basin Water Resources Plan, the development of which is underway by the WMG. Each of the three project categories also has a committee of WMG Members assigned to provide leadership for project planning and implementation for that category. The three project category areas are: • Demand -Side Norms, Trends and Opportunities ■ Supply -Side Opportunities February 10, 2009 Rev 1 • System -Wide Drought Preparation and Management A number of the projects in the Plan anticipate hiring and funding consultants to perform the work under the direction of the WMG or its Members. Other projects will be completed by in -kind work of the Members and their staffs and will therefore not require expenditures by the WMG. Of course, some projects will include both in -kind and consultant support. The Plan consists of brief project descriptions in each of the three categories, and all of the projects are summarized in a spreadsheet that indicates the years when the projects might be undertaken and an estimate of the yearly expenditures for each project. According to the WMG Bylaws, the Group can change elements of the Plan at any time during the year. Demand -Side Norms, Trends and Opportunities Goals The goals for the Demand -Side Norms, Trends and Opportunities category are to: 1. Extend water supply by: • Identifying and monitoring consumption trends; • Developing strategies to manage consumption trends; 2. Develop a better understanding of demand -side economic dependencies (e.g., landscapers, golf courses); and 3. Develop strategies for long-term reductions in per -capita water use. Purpose Use demand -side management tools over the Tong -term to make the C-W Basin a model for efficient water use. Objectives 1. Know how Catawba-Wateree Basin water is being used Quantify monthly water consumption and water reuse trends for users of C-W Basin water for residential, industrial, commercial, institutional, agricultural and power generation user categories. Specifically: a. In consultation with the applicable North Carolina and South Carolina state agencies as well as public water system personnel responsible for water use data collection, establish consistent definitions for the six user categories and a consistent format for data reporting. Communicate the data reporting format to WMG Members and implement any data reporting format modifications by January 2010. b. To the extent feasible, organize 2005 data from the relicensing Water Supply Study and annual water system data provided to Duke from 2006 through 2009 to fit the user categories. February 10, 2009 Rev 1 2 c. Revise the relicensing Water Supply Study at least including a comparison of the actual data to the projections from the relicensing study, updated projections for the term of the New License and a revised CHE©PST"' model to show modeled LIP occurrences. d. Resources and Schedule — WMG to hire consultant to complete the Water Supply Study and CHE©PSTM update in 2012-2013. 2. Understand the state of the practice for demand -side management and water use efficiency a. Conduct benchmarking to identify the current demand -side management programs that are being used primarily (but not solely) in the Southeast, describe their relative levels of success and their potential applicability to the C-W Basin. Potential sources of benchmarking data include, but are not limited to: i. EPA WaterSenseTM n. Irrigation Association® iii. NC Green Industry Council iv. Water Use it Wisely.org v. Georgia Water Wise Council vi. Tennessee Valley Water Partnership vii. NC Water Supply Plan and local water supply plans viii. NC Water Resources Research Institute ix. SC Water Resources Research Institute (Strom Thurmond Institute) x. Input from selected water system owners outside the C-W Basin xi. NC Environmental Review Commission Water Allocation Study Committee. b. Conduct a Lakefront Smart Irrigation Study to evaluate the effectiveness of "smart" irrigation controllers in reducing landscape watering as measured against watering benchmarks without smart controllers. Implement the study with selected lakeside property owners that withdraw water directly from the lakes for landscape irrigation. c. Resources and Schedule — WMG will hire consultants to complete the benchmarking in 2009 and the Lakefront Smart Irrigation Study in 2009 through spring 2012. (Note: Duke Energy Carolinas will make an additional contribution to the WMG above its annual dues amounts to support the Lakefront Smart Irrigation Study so that the WMG's net cost for the Lakefront Smart Irrigation Study is the lesser of $25,000 per year for three years or'/z the annual cost of the Lakefront Smart Irrigation Study.) 3. Set appropriate, measurable goals to drive improvement Establish goals for water use efficiency improvements for the C-W Basin and also establish regular procedures to measure progress toward achieving the goals and periodically revisit appropriateness of the goals. February 10, 2009 Rev 1 a. Consider results of Objectives 1 & 2 above and determine if current water use . practices are or are not sustainable. b. Goals and measures should be achievable while stretching beyond the status quo to improve water use efficiency. c. A small number (e.g., 3 to 5) of goals should be established to ensure a focused effort. d. Appropriately consider economic impacts and dependencies of demand -side management tools in goal -setting and plan development. e. Determine process for monitoring, measuring and reporting progress toward achieving goals and for changing direction if needed. Monitoring and measuring progress toward goal achievement should not be a major effort. Consider partnerships with universities for providing monitoring and measuring service. h. Resources and Schedule — WMG will complete this Objective 3 through facilitated sessions in 2010. g. 4. Plan to meet the goals Develop a prioritized action plan to meet the established water use efficiency goals. Specifically: a. Focus on best "bang for the buck" actions first (i.e., the actions that provide the best opportunity per dollar spent from the WMG Fund to improve toward our established goals). b. Action plan is not limited to simply implementing things that others are already doing (i.e., research or first -of -a -kind actions that have a relatively high success potential should also be considered). c. Plan should also give special consideration to actions that would improve efficient use of both water and energy simultaneously. d. Plan should incorporate sharing of lessons -learned and best practices between Duke's demand -side energy management programs and intake owners' water use efficiency programs. e. Establish target dates and mechanisms for future plan updates. f. Resources and Schedule — WMG will complete this Objective 4 initially through facilitated sessions in 2010. 5. Critique the goals and the plan Coordinate a critical review by an independent set of large water intake owners, representative water users, applicable governmental agencies, and/or other selected water resources experts. a. Potential reviewers include but are not Iimited to: i. NC Water Resources Research Institute and/or SC Water Resources Research Institute February 10, 2009 Rev 1 4 American Water Works Association Peer Review Large water intake owners or other organizations that participated in the benchmarking effort iv. Consumer advocacy groups v. State agencies in the Carolinas or other states vi. Bi-State Catawba River Advisory Commission vii. North Carolina Green Industry Council viii. State Water Infrastructure Commission (NC) ix. South Carolina Water Resources Center (Clemson) b. Resources and Schedule — In 2011, WMG to contract or otherwise arrange for the independent reviews, ensure that written feedback is summarized and make any appropriate adjustments to the goals and plan. 6. Communicate the plan and obtain buy -in Communicate the goals and plan with key stakeholders and evaluate potential cost - sharing efforts, incentives and complementary activities to drive achievement of the established demand -side management goals. a. Prepare and distribute a professional, written plan. b. Key stakeholders include but are not limited to: i. State and local governments (staff and elected officials) ii. Water system customers Bi-State Catawba River Advisory Commission iv. EPA WaterSenseT"^ Partners v. Others that provided data in the benchmarking and independent critique efforts c. Potential partners to help implement the plan include but are not limited to: i. Government grant programs ii. Universities and public schools Other 501(c)(3) organizations iv. Professional organizations d. Seek appropriate incentives to encourage plan implementation (e.g., C-W WMG dues credits for Members that make extraordinary progress toward meeting or exceeding certain demand -side management goals, permitting or financial incentives for water system and intake owners that meet their goals, etc.). e. Resources and Schedule — WMG will complete this Objective 6 in 2011-2012. Printing and binding of the plan will be contracted by the WMG. February 10, 2009 Rev 1 5 Supply -Side Opportunities Goals The goals for the Supply -Side Opportunities category are to: 1. Improve usable supply by: • Identifying and developing remediation strategies to resolve usable storage constraints, • Optimizing locations and depths of intakes (independent of jurisdictional boundaries); 2. Optimize return locations and effluent quality (independent of jurisdictional boundaries); 3. Develop regional water supply source strategies that: • Improve operational flexibility, • Align supply sources with service areas; and 4. Support environmental and economic objectives. Purpose Develop plans and strategies that increase the reliability, usefulness, and safe yield of the C-W lake system. These plans and strategies should be useful for water users in long-term planning and development of their system and to policymakers as a source of information to support policy decisions. Objectives 1. Understand how political jurisdictions, water utility service areas, and intakes and discharges align with natural watersheds (drainage basins). a. Prepare mapping of the C-W and neighboring basins to illustrate existing and projected service areas, intake and discharge locations. b. Use the mapping to develop long-term strategies that could lead to technically improved alignments that support the purpose of this project category. c. Resources and Schedule — Use a combination of in -kind services and consultant support; complete the mapping by April 30, 2009. 2. Compile information clearly illustrating the physical factors limiting the usable storage volume of each reservoir. a. Use existing data from the Water Supply Study and other sources. b. Resources and Schedule — Use in -kind services; complete by April 30, 2009. 3. Evaluate the feasibility and benefits of altering the limiting storage factors to increase the usable storage. February 10, 2009 Rev 1 6 a. Using CHE©PSTM modeling to project safe yields, evaluate potential for mid- term safe yield improvements that could be achieved by increasing the usable volume in the reservoirs. i. Resources and Schedule — Will require consultant assistance; complete in Tate-2009 b. Prepare a report that describes strategies and proposes an action plan to improve usable storage. i.

Please see a -mail regarding specific concerns. Richard Page, an employee with Harrelson Ford, reports that oil and gas is leaking into storm drains on site. Please investigate. 2/19/08 J. Beller met with Harrelson Ford Service Manager Mark Linton at the facility located at 6500 South Boulevard. J. Beller informed Mr. Linton that his office had been notified about possible oil and gas leaking into storm drains on site. J. Beller and Mr. Linton toured the property together and J. Beller noted some minor housekeeping issues at the facility. J. Beller did not see any evidence of oil or gasoline directly discharging to storm drains on the property. J. Beller provided Mr. Linton with a list of housekeeping compliance measures to have resolved for a follow-up inspection to occur on 2/27/08. The list included: Clean area around used oil containment totes behind car shop; Keep mop buckets inside when not in use; Clean up of area around air -compressor where oil had leaked from compressor; Remove oil soaked rags from tops of totes so that when it rains the oil does not discharge to the ground. 2/27/08 J. Beller performed a follow-up inspection of the facility. The areas previously discussed had been addressed and were up to standard. During the follow-up investigation J. Beller noticed a large stained area on the parking lot near the back of the facility. There were pockets of diesel fuel still remaining on the ground. A non -paved area just off parking lot was also contaminated with diesel fuel. J. Beller spoke with Mr. Linton and asked if knew how the diesel fuel got on the ground. Mr. Linton did not know how the fuel was spilled but had his crew begin to clean the area. J. Beller instructed Mr. Linton to remove all of the contaminated soil from the non -paved area and to put down oil dry or other absorbent to remove the diesel from the parking lot. J. Beller stated that he would perform a follow-up investigation on 2/29/08 to verify proper clean-up. 2/29/08 J. Beller performed follow-up investigation of the fuel spill. Mr. Linton was at the facility and explained that an employee had dumped out approx. 5 gallons of diesel fuel in the rear of the lot. J. Beller checked the area where the spill occurred and was not satisfied with the clean-up. An area of contaminated soil had been removed but diesel. fuel odor was still present in the exposed soil. Mr. Linton showed J. Beller the drums of contaminated soil that had been removed. J. Beller instructed Mr. Linton to remove more soil and stated that no presence of diesel can be left in affected area. The paved parking lot area had been treated with oil dry and no diesel fuel was noted on the surface. However, the parking lot is asphalt and was showing signs of breaking down from the fuel. J. Beller stated that he would return on 3/3/08 to inspect the contaminated soil area again. 3/3/08 J. Beller inspected the area where the fuel spill occurred and was satisfied with the clean up effort. No odor could be detected from exposed soil in the area. Mr. Linton explained that the soil would be picked up along with the used oil at the facility. No further action needed at this time.

This is the new energy control facility that replaced the now demolished old boiler facility. The product was released from a busted water coil (due to the cold weather) that contained the diluted Sodium Nitrite (news media reported Nitrate.) The product made its way down four floors and out the front door. Then less than 200 gallons found its way to a storm drain. CFD Haz-Mat was able to berm the outfall to the creek before any considerable amount reached the creek. We were told that very little reached the creek.

Fire officials said about 200 gallons of liquid spilled before the leak was stopped. CMC spokesman Ray ]ones said some of the chemical went down the storm drains, but it will be so diluted bythe time it reaches area creeks that it should not cause any environmental cunoerns.

Moore Senior Environmental Specialist Mecklenburg County Government 700 N. Tryon St. Charlotte, NC 28202 Office 704.432.1383 Fax 704.336.4391 From: Roux, Tony Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 10:32 AM To: McCulloch, John Cc: Moore, Meredith Subject: 596 Griffith Road Service Request John, On December 21, 2007, I received a complaint regarding a vehicle leaking oil onto the ground and into a storm drain in the Ford Realty Business Park on Griffith Road. The complaint originated from Ms. Christine Schwab (704-529-1399) via Marcia Allocco (NCDWQ-MRO; 704-663-1699). On 12/21/07, I inspected the Ford Realty Business Park on Griffith Road and found a significant amount of oil spilled on the pavement underneath a couple of van trucks with Indiana license tags (39560V & 39561V). Pictures are attached. These vehicles were near Suite 596. No one answered the door to Suite 596 when I knocked on the door. I was on vacation through the remainder of December. I inspected the site again on 1/02/08, and found a fresh stain of oil under the van truck with Indiana plates 39560V. Again no one answered when I knocked on the door of Suite 596. On 1/03/08, I left a message for the Ford Realty Park (704-332-1000) for information regarding the tenant in Suite 596. Jim Emmanuel, Ford Realty Park, returned my call on 1/07/08 and informed me that the tenant in Suite 596 is a JCR Company, a painting company out of Indiana. When I mentioned the oil spill problem with JCR vehicles, he stated that he was not aware of the problem. Mr.. Emmanuel gave my the phone number for JCR Company - 704-679-3080. I left a message for JCR Company to clean up the spilt oil and to call me. I left a second message for JCR Company on 1/14/08. After no reply to my phone messages, I drove to 596 Griffith Road and successfully met with Mr.. Anthony 1 of 8 2/22/2008 3:11 PM iffith Road Service Request imap://cms.ncmail.net:993/fetch%3EUIEr/03E/INBOX%3E6112... Price, JCR Company (cell phone 317-281-1022). He stated that one of his vans had a hole in the oil pan and that he was having a some difficulty finding a place to have it repaired for it was a diesel engine. I informed him of the environmental damage that this leak presents and presented him with a copy of the Mecklenburg County Environmental Notice covering discharges of automotive fluids. I instructed him to have the vehicle repaired as soon as possible and to clean up the spilt oil. I requested that they place a container under the vehicle to catch the oil while they were looking for a repair place. Mr.. Price agreed to take the corrective actions that we discussed. He also stated that they would put something under the vehicle when they were at a job site. I inspected the site on 1/23/08 and found a garbage can lid under the vehicle with the leak. However, it did not appear that the parking lot had been cleaned. I called on 1/28/09: Left a message for Mr.. Price. Spoke with Mr.. Price on 1/31/08. He reported that the major hole in the oil pan had been fixed, but that there was still a small leak that need to be repaired. He also stated that he had the parking lot cleaned. He applied a combination oil dry/kitty litter to the oil spills to absorb the surface oils and then had the area pressure washed. I inspected the parking lot on 2/01/08 and found that the oil spills in the parking lot were greatly reduced. Progress is being made in correcting this problem.
