ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The facility is an industrial landfill permitted to receive waste generated by any Duke Energy Corporation. Waste types
include, but are not limited to: coal combustion residuals, asbestos, construction and demolition debris, land clearing
and inert debris, coal mill rejects, waste limestone material, and remediation wastes This facility is permitted to receive
solid waste generated by or at any Duke Energy Corporation property, as described in the approved plan and as defined
in G.S. 130-290 (a)(2b), except where prohibited by the N. C. General Statues Article 9 of Chapter 130A, and the rules
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

1. The Marshall Steam Station Industrial Landfill No. 1 is constructed on a Coal Combustion By-Products structural
fill built in accordance with the requirements specified in North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 13B
.1700 which is utilized as subgrade to the landfill. This structural fill is identified as CCB0072.

the landfill, and conducting other associated activities.

operational condition. Phase 1 cells 3 & 4 - have been issued a PTO. During the inspection, the Solid Waste
Section staff were informed that power/control power had not yet been established, and therefore the cells were not
ready to operate. SWS staff informed the facility that a pre-op meeting is required, when the cell is
complete/operational and prior to commencing the placement of ash. The facility will contact the SWS to arrange a
time for the meeting.

5. All required quality assurance compaction testing (Field Density) appears to be complete, and within expected
parameters. These records are maintained by Charah, Inc.

conveyance systems, erosion and sedimentation controls, and status/confirmation of repairs.

7. Leachate is sampled semiannually from dedicated sample ports located on the leachate collection system. Access to

leachate sampling records were reviewed during the inspection. The sampling was conducted 8/10/17 and 2/12/18.

8. Leachate line cleaning was accomplished on 2/27/18; no issues were noted. The Operations Plan states that” LCS
pipes will be cleaned out by the use of a clean-out snake or high-pressure water flushing at least once a year, and the
LCS piping will remote-camera monitored if cleaning indicates a blockage in the leachate collection system pipes.”

9. Leak detection records were reviewed during the inspection. Records were complete and no issues were noted.
