In accordance with the requirements of North Carolina General Statues § 130A-309. 214(a)(4),
Closure of Coal Combustion Residuals Surface Impoundments, and the requirements of the
Settlement Agreement, Duke Energy provides revisions to the Basin Closure Plans submitted
on December 31, 2019 and January 30, 2020 for the subject stations. This revision consists of
an updated Appendix D, Closure Plan Drawings, for the Cliff side Steam Station and the
Roxboro Power Station and an updated Table 10-1, Regulatory Permits, Approvals, or
Requirements for Basin Closure by Excavation, for each of the subject closure plans.
Duke Energy remains committed to safely and permanently closing basins in ways that continue
to protect people and the environment and welcomes the opportunity to work constructively with
NCDEQ to move forward.
Respectfully submitted,
