Background Monitoring Well Determinations
Allen Steam Station
Allen is a coal-fired electricity generating facility along the Catawba River. The five -unit station
began commercial operation in 1957 with Units 1 and 2. Unit 3 was placed into commercial
operation in 1959, followed by Unit 4 in 1960, and Unit 5 in 1961. The Allen ash basin is situated
between the Allen powerhouse to the north and topographic divides to the west (along South
Point Road) and south (along Reese Wilson Road).
Coal ash residue from the coal combustion process has historically been disposed of in the
Allen ash basin system, which comprises the inactive ash basin and the active ash basin. A
lined Retired Ash Basin (RAB) dry ash landfill, two unlined Distribution of Residuals Solids
(DORS) structural fill units, and two unlined dry ash storage areas are also located on top of the
inactive ash basin. The active ash basin is located on the southern portion of the property. The
inactive ash basin is located between the generating units and the active ash basin.
The inactive ash basin was commissioned in 1957 and is located adjacent to and north of the
active ash basin. The active ash basin was constructed in 1973.
Natural topography at the site generally slopes from west to east. A topographic high is located
50 to 100 yards west of South Point Road on the west side of the site. Topography at the Allen
site ranges from approximately 650 feet to 680 feet elevation near the west and southwest
boundaries of the site to an approximate low elevation of 570 feet at the shoreline of Lake Wylie
over a distance of approximately 0.8 miles.
In June 2015, groundwater elevations were collected from onsite National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) compliance wells, voluntary wells, and newly installed
Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA) monitoring wells. Groundwater elevations were
measured in shallow and fractured bedrock flow layers (S/D and BR/BRU wells, respectively),
and groundwater flow direction was estimated by contouring elevations in each flow layer.
Generalized groundwater contours for all three flow layers are shown in Figures 3-3, 3-4, and
3-5.
The CSA submitted to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) in
August 2015 indicated the active ash basin and the inactive ash basin at Allen as potential
source areas for groundwater contamination.
Existing ash basin compliance monitoring well AB-1 R has been considered by Duke Energy to
represent background water quality at the site since being installed in 2010. AB-1 R is located to
the northwest of the inactive ash basin at the compliance boundary. AB-1 R was installed to a
total depth of 70.89 feet below ground surface (bgs) with a 20-foot well screen to monitor water
quality in saprolite. Historical groundwater data for AB-1 R date back to March 2011. This
compliance monitoring well is sampled three times per year.
Shallow groundwater contours (see Figure 3-3) indicate groundwater flow in the vicinity of
AB-1 R is to the north from the ash basin toward the Station Discharge Canal. Compliance
monitoring results indicate increasing concentrations of calcium, sulfate, and total dissolved
solids (TDS) at AB-1 R since the March 2014 sampling event. These three constituents are
included in the list of detection monitoring constituents per the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (USEPA's) Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Final Rule. The USEPA selected
constituents for detection monitoring that are present in CCR that would be expected to migrate
rapidly and provide early detection as to whether contaminants were migrating from a coal ash
disposal unit. Although measured concentrations have not previously exceeded 2L Standards at
AB-1 R, concentrations of calcium, sulfate, and TDS have increased. Boron, another constituent
selected by the USEPA for detection monitoring, has not been detected in this well. Although
boron has not been detected above laboratory reporting limits, the direction of groundwater flow
and increasing concentration trends of calcium, sulfate, and TDS may be an early indication of
groundwater in the vicinity of AB-1 R being influenced by the northwest portion of the inactive
ash basin.
During the CSA work plan preparation, three well groups, BG-1, BG-2, and BG-3 were chosen
for likely background locations for installation of new wells. Once wells were installed and
groundwater elevations and flow directions established from the first round of sampling in 2015,
the location of BG-2 became suspect for its use as a background well. It is possible that this well
may be influenced by old ash fills on the west side of South Point Road in the vicinity of River
Run. Additional wells are planned for installation in the vicinity of BG-2 well cluster to further
define groundwater flow direction and groundwater quality. Once this is accomplished, the use
of this well cluster for background water quality will be re-evaluated. The well cluster BG-1 on
the south side of the property, approximately 1,200 feet south of the active ash basin had
groundwater elevations that are at or lower than porewater levels in the ash basin. Additional
wells are planned for installation in the vicinity of the BG-1 cluster to further define groundwater
flow direction and groundwater quality. Once this is accomplished, the use of this well cluster for
background water quality will be re-evaluated.
The remaining well cluster, BG-3, is located on the north side of the Station Discharge Canal
north of the facility. This location, following LeGrand's conceptual model of the Piedmont
groundwater system, is across a groundwater divide formed by the Station Discharge Canal.
Based on the location and groundwater quality exhibited in this well, it appears to be suitable for
a background location.
Background groundwater concentrations in the BG-1, BG-2 and BG-3 were developed from
samples with turbidity less than 10 NTU. As a result, only three samples could be used to
develop PPBCs. Due to the small sample size, the PPBC is the highest reported value or
highest laboratory reporting limit for non -detects. These values are shown in Table B-1.
Background concentrations identified for new background wells will be incorporated into
statistical background analysis once a statistically valid data set has been obtained.

Wells were chosen to represent background groundwater quality based on factors such as their
horizontal distance from the source area or waste boundary, the relative topographic and
groundwater elevation difference compared to the nearest ash basin surface or porewater, and
the calculated groundwater flow direction. A summary table of information regarding the well
construction, well location, and water elevations is provided in Table B-2.

The methodology applied to determine if a well represents background water quality is
explained in detail below for each monitoring well listed in the above table.
BG-1 S and BG-1 D
Monitoring wells BG-1S and BG-1D were installed onsite as a background monitoring wells
during the CSA. The well pair is located in the southeast area of the site, near the intersection of
South Point Road and Reese Wilson Road. The June 2015 groundwater gauging event was
considered for determining groundwater flow direction.
• The ground surface elevation at this monitoring well pair is approximately 692 feet. The
ground surface elevation of the active ash basin waste boundary is approximately 645
feet (ground surface at the wells is 47 feet higher than the edge of the active ash basin
waste boundary).
• The monitoring well pair is located approximately 1,275 feet from the southwestern edge
of the active ash basin.
• BG-1 S is screened from approximately 49 feet to 64 feet below ground surface in the
shallow flow layer. BG-1 S well screen interval elevation is approximately 628 to 643 feet
with a water elevation of approximately 635 feet in June 2015.
• BG-1 D is screened from approximately 114 feet to 119 feet below ground surface in the
deep flow layer. BG-1 S well screen interval elevation is approximately 573 to 578 feet
with a water elevation of approximately 637 feet in June 2015.
• The porewater elevation in the active basin (measured in ash basin monitoring well
AB-21 S) in June 2015 was approximately 636 feet.
• Based on extrapolation of groundwater flow data from onsite wells and evaluation of
topographic data, groundwater in well BG-1 S and BG-1 D originates from the residential
area to the south and southwest. These properties are not expected to contribute
site -specific COls to groundwater at this location.
The well cluster BG-1 had groundwater elevation at the same or lower elevation than porewater
levels in the ash basin. Additional wells are planned for installation in the vicinity of the BG-1
cluster to further define groundwater flow direction and groundwater quality. Once this is
accomplished, the use of this well cluster for background water quality will be re-evaluated.
BG-3D
Monitoring well BG-3D was installed as a background monitoring well during the CSA. It is
located on beyond the Station Discharge Canal northwest of Allen. The June 2015 groundwater
gauging event was considered for determining groundwater flow direction.
• The ground surface elevation at this monitoring well is approximately 672 feet.
• The ground surface elevation at the northwestern edge of the inactive ash basin waste
boundary is approximately 635 feet (ground surface at the well is 37.5 feet higher than
the edge of the waste boundary).
• The monitoring well is located approximately 2,700 feet northwest of the inactive ash
basin waste boundary.
• BG-3D is screened from approximately 93 feet to 98 feet bgs in the deep flow layer. BG-
3D well screen interval elevation is approximately 574 to 579 feet with a water level
elevation (from June 2015) of 672 feet.
• There is no free water in the inactive ash basin. Porewater in the basin was measured in
ash basin monitoring well AB-35S at 619.80 feet in June 2015. This basin is located
across the Station Discharge Canal, which is a groundwater divide.
• BG-3D is separated from the site by the Station Discharge Canal, which serves as both
a topographic and hydrogeologic divide between the inactive ash basin and the
monitoring well. The normal water elevation within the Station Discharge Canal is
approximately 569 feet (ground surface elevation at the well is 103 feet higher than the
Station Discharge Canal).
• Based on extrapolation of groundwater flow data from onsite wells and evaluation of
topographic data, groundwater in well BG-3D originates from the north; this area is rural
and residential in nature and is not expected to contribute site -specific Cols to
groundwater at this location.
Based on the horizontal distance from the waste boundary to the monitoring well, the
relative topographic and groundwater elevations, measured elevation differences between
the monitoring well and the nearest ash basin surface water, and the determined
groundwater flow direction, monitoring well cluster BG-3D represents background water
quality relative to the ash disposal areas at the site.
Turbidity and pH Observations in Background Wells
Turbidity and pH were evaluated at each well to determine its suitability for use in monitoring. In
some cases, turbidity was elevated above 10 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) and pH was
above 8.5 Standard Units (SU). Analytical data from those wells have not been used to
establish Proposed Provisional Background Concentrations (PPBCs) at this time. Each well will
be evaluated, re -developed as necessary, and new determinations made as to its continued
suitability in future groundwater sampling events.
BG-1 S and BG-1 D
• The turbidity in BG-1 S was less than 10 NTU during the June 2015 sampling event. The
pH value in BG-1S was 4.7 SU during the June 2015 sampling event. The relatively low
pH reading indicates that the monitoring well is not being affected by grout/well
construction issues.
• The turbidity in BG-1 D did not exceed 10 NTU during the June 2015 sampling event.
The pH value in BG-1 D was 10.22 SU during the June 2015 sampling event. The
relatively high pH reading indicates that the monitoring well may be being affected by
grout/well construction issues. This well is scheduled for re -development. If pH values do
not decrease, this well will be considered for replacement. The analytical results from the
June 2015 sampling event at this well will not be utilized to establish proposed
provisional background concentrations.
BG-3S
The turbidity in BG-3S was 41.2 NTU during the June sampling event. Because of the
turbidity in this well, it was not used to establish PPBCs for the site. However, additional
development and sampling may show that turbidities in the well may come down to a
point where its data can be used. The pH in this well was 7.9 SU during the June 2015
sampling event. The relatively low pH reading indicates that the monitoring well is not
being affected by grout/well construction issues.
BG-3D
The turbidity in BG-3D was less than 10 NTU during the June 2015 sampling event. The
pH value in BG-31D was 6.43 SU during the June 2015 sampling event. The relatively low
pH reading indicates that the monitoring well is not being affected by grout/well
construction issues.
Regional Background
In addition to reviewing the pH and turbidity readings to assess water quality in the monitoring
wells, the data from the proposed background wells were compared to the regional background
concentrations of constituents, where available, and the 2-10 Private Well data. The 2-10
Private Wells are Duke Employee private water supply wells that are located between 2 and 10
miles of the Allen site. These values are shown in Table 2-2. The source of the regional
background concentrations are presented in Section 2.2.1. In general, the concentrations of
constituents in the newly installed background wells are within the range of available regional
background and 2-10 data, with the exception of the following:
• Aluminum concentrations in the newly installed background wells are greater than the
regional background concentrations and the 2-10 data.
• Arsenic is within the range of regional background concentrations, but higher than the
2-10 data.
• Barium concentrations in the newly installed background wells are greater than the
regional background concentrations.
• Chromium is within the range of regional background concentrations, but higher than the
2-10 data.
The water quality in the proposed background wells appears to be similar in many respects to
the regional published background concentrations for many constituents. Additional background
groundwater data being collected in 2015 (for a total of four sampling rounds in 2015) will help
future decision -making and also provide a better understanding of the constituent
concentrations noted above.
Soil Background Statistics for Allen
Steps for determining background threshold values (BTV) for soils:
Step 1: Collect an appropriate number of soil samples from the designated background or
reference areas. Assume same population. Conduct data validation on analytical data to
assess suitability of data for statistical analysis and decision making.
Step 2: Determine the data distribution. Depending upon the data distribution, uses parametric
or nonparametric methods to estimate BTVs.
Step 3: Check for outliers in data set. Remove outliers if it can be justified.
Step 4: Calculate BTVs
• Upper percentiles
• Upper prediction limits (UPLs)
• Upper tolerance limits (UTLs)
• Upper simultaneous limits (USLs) — New in ProUCL 5.0
Each BTV is described below (USEPA 2013):
• Upper Percentile, x0.95: Based upon an established background data set, a 95th
percentile represents that statistic such that 95% of the sampled data will be less than or
equal to (<_) x0.95 . It is expected that an observation coming from the background
population (or comparable to the background population) will be <_ x0.95 with probability
0.95.
Upper Tolerance Limit (UTL): Based upon an established background data set, a
UTL95-95 represents that statistic such that 95% observations (current and future) from
the target population (background, comparable to background) will be less than or equal
to the UTL95-95 with CC of 0.95. A UTL95-95 represents a 95% UCL of the 95th
percentile of the data distribution (population). A UTL95-95 is designed to
simultaneously provide coverage for 95% of all potential observations (current and
future) from the background population (or comparable to background) with a CC of
0.95. A UTL95-95 can be used when many (unknown) current or future onsite
observations need to be compared with a BTV. A parametric UTL95-95 takes the data
variability into account.
Upper Prediction Limit (UPL): Based upon an established background data set, a 95%
UPL (UPL95) represents that statistic such that an independently collected new/future
observation from the target population (e.g., background, comparable to background)
will be less than or equal to the UPL95 with confidence coefficient (CC) of 0.95. We are
95% sure that a single future value from the background population will be less than the
UPL95 with CC= 0.95. A parametric UPL takes data variability into account.
• Upper Simultaneous Limit (USL): Based upon an established background data set free
of outliers and representing a single statistical population, a USL95 represents that
statistic such that all observations from the "established" background data set are less
than or equal to the USL95 with a CC of 0.95. A parametric USL takes the data
variability into account. It is expected that all current or future observations coming from
the background population (comparable to background population, unimpacted site
locations) will be less than or equal to the USL95 with CC, 0.95. The use of a USL as a
BTV estimate is suggested by the USEPA when a large number of onsite observations
(current or future) need to be compared with a BTV.
Approach:
• Attachment A presents the Allen soil dataset. HDR completed a quality assurance and
quality control (QA/QC) data validation assessment (presented in separate document)
and has determined that the data meets project data quality objectives and is suitable for
statistical analysis and for establishing BTVs. Table 1 list the constituents (16 samples
and 30 constituents per sample)
Next, HDR conducted Dixon's outlier test for each constituent using ProUCL Version 5.0
software (USEPA 2013). Statically significant outliers were identified for 4 out of 30
constituents at the 5% significant level. Outliers can inflate background concentration
estimates (over estimate), where USEPA (2013) defines an outlier as Measurements
(usually larger or smaller than the majority of the data values in a sample) that are not
representative of the population from which they were drawn. The presence of outliers
distorts most statistics if used in any calculations. However, an outlier should only be
removed if there is justification for doing so (e.g., sample collected an area not
representative of background conditions). Allen samples represent subsurface soils
collected from drilling operations. HDR has determined that samples meet data quality
objectives. As stated by the USEPA (2013), since the treatment and handling of outliers
is a controversial and subjective topic, it is suggested that the outliers be treated on a
site -specific basis using all existing knowledge about the site; and regional and site -
specific background areas. Because soil samples were collected at depths greater than
5 feet below ground surface, and there is no evidence of anthropogenic impacts at
depths greater than 5 feet below ground surface, the entire dataset was utilized for
establishing BTV (assumes no outliers).
• HDR used ProUCL Version 5.0, to calculate summary statistics, goodness of fit
(population distribution), and the BTV upper limits (UTL, UPL, and USL). Results are
summarized in Tables 1 and 2. The Kaplan Meier (KM) method was used for
estimating statistics with censored data (data with non -detections). ProUCL printouts are
presented in Attachment B.

The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Warning: All observations are Non -Detects (NDs), therefore all statistics and estimates should also be NDs!
Specifically, sample mean, UCLs, UPLs, and other statistics are also NDs lying below the largest detection limit!
The Project Team may decide to use alternative site specifcvalues to estimate environmental parameters (e.g., EPC, BTV).

The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Gamma ROS Statistics using Imputed Non -Detects
GROS may not be used when data set has> 50%NDs with many tied observations at multiple DI
GROS may not be used when kstar of detected data is small
such as < 0.1
For such situations, GROS method tends to yield inflated
values of UCLs and BTVs
For gamma distributed detected data, BTVs and UCLs may be computed using gamma distribution on KM estimates

The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Note: The use of USLto estimate a BTV is recommended only when the data set represents a background
data set free of outliers and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.
