Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 1 of 13 July 17, 2017 1 Introduction The purpose of this Engineering Plan, with the accompanying drawings and technical specifications, is to communicate the proposed paste demonstration project design and details to obtain North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Solid Waste Section (SWS) permission to conduct the project within the permitted limits of Duke Energy’s Belews Creek Steam Station, Craig Road Landfill. This Engineering Plan will also demonstrate that the proposed project is generally consistent with and does not violate the intents of the approved landfill Permit to Operate, Operations Plan, and North Carolina solid waste management rules. 1.1 Project Description Duke Energy (Duke) has undertaken this project to evaluate alternatives for managing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater in response to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. Specifically, Duke is seeking to reduce bromide concentration in permitted discharges. Duke undertook research work with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) to sequester bromide in plant wastewater through mixing with various binders (e.g., fly ash, gypsum, and lime). Research results indicate that sequestering bromide is possible at a laboratory scale. Duke intends to scale up the bromide sequestration studies to a field demonstration that will further evaluate the feasibility in a manner representative of possible full-scale operations. It is envisioned that possible full-scale operations would entail mixing and delivering paste (similar to paste processes common in mining industry practices) to the Craig Road Landfill, located south of the Belews Creek Steam Station on Duke property. The proposed paste demonstration project will be within the limits of the Craig Road Landfill Phase 1. The proposed project will integrate several engineering and materials disciplines including civil, geotechnical, solid waste, environmental, mining, materials, and process engineering. Furthermore, various paste mix material properties must be evaluated and balanced to achieve the desired results. In addition to the chemical behavior, the paste mix must have initial properties allowing it to be pumped over distance and placed with final properties that are stable in the landfill and suitable to integrate into landfill operations. The mix ingredients must be balanced or enhanced to address material variability, must be cost effective, and must yield desired physical characteristics while still sequestering bromide. Overall field demonstration project objectives are: 1. Demonstrating and verifying bromide sequestration and environmental performance at a field- level including: a. Evaluating the quantity and quality of leachate generation b. Evaluating the quantity and quality of contact-water runoff 2. Evaluating paste process mixing, pumping, and placement 3. Evaluating short and long term paste physical characteristics 1.2 Site Description Duke is proposing to conduct the paste demonstration project within Phase 1 of the Belews Creek Steam Station, Craig Road Landfill. The Craig Road Landfill is an active coal combustion residual (CCR) landfill organized and operated in phases under NCDEQ Permit Number 8504-INDUS. Phases 1 and 2 are currently operational. Phase 1 is approximately 31-acres, started operations in 2007, and was filled to approximate elevation 830 feet and a CCR thickness of approximately 40 feet when operations transitioned into the adjacent Phase 2 landfill in 2014. CCR placement is currently focused in Phase 2 which is approximately 35 acres. Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 2 of 13 July 17, 2017 Consistent with the approved landfill Operations Plan (Revision 5, December 18, 2013), Duke plans to focus landfilling in Phase 2 until CCR placement approaches a similar top deck elevation as Phase 1. Based on current ash generation rates and the fly ash marketing for beneficial use, the Phase 2 ash disposal rates are less than the design-basis disposal rates. Therefore, Duke anticipates it will be several years before Phase 2 filling reaches a level requiring moving operations back into Phase 1. As landfill operations are not anticipated to move back into Phase 1 for several years, the Phase 1 landfill is a desirable location for the proposed paste demonstration project. Drawings illustrating the proposed paste demonstration project area are included in Appendix A. The general site vicinity is illustrated on the drawing Cover Sheet (Drawing BLC_C907.005.001). The following drawings illustrate the existing Craig Road Landfill Phase 1 and 2 conditions and paste demonstration project location: ► Existing Conditions Aerial Photograph, May 2017: Drawing BLC_C907.005.002 ► Existing Conditions Topographic Map, May 2017: Drawing BLC_C907.005.003 ► Demonstration Project Plan: Drawing BLC_C907.005.004 1.3 Proposed Sequence of Activities Amec Foster Wheeler and Duke present the following anticipated paste demonstration project sequence of activities: ► submit the Demonstration Project request to NCDEQ (July 2017) ► obtain NCDEQ authorization to conduct the Demonstration Project (August 2017) ► construct the Demonstration Project Pad (August-October 2017 ► submit construction documentation report (October 2017) ► install and commission paste processing equipment (October-November 2017) ► mix and deposit paste (December 2017) ► demobilize paste process equipment upon completion of paste mixing/deposition (January 2018) ► begin long-term environmental monitoring for two or more years (January 2018) ► decommission paste demonstration cells (January 2020 or prior to continued ash placement in Phase 1) Should Duke choose to move forward with full-scale paste deposition in the Craig Road Landfill, the landfill design would be reevaluated, modified as necessary, and Duke would submit a permit modification request to NCDEQ. 2 Solid Waste Management Rules The Craig Road Landfill was designed and permitted and is operated consistent with North Carolina solid waste management rules and the federal CCR rule. The proposed paste demonstration project will be located wholly within the Craig Road Landfill limits and is therefore subject to these rules. 2.1 North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules The Craig Road landfill was permitted under the North Carolina rules governing industrial landfills commonly referred to as the .0500 rules. The Craig Road Landfill is authorized to operate under a Permit to Operate for NCDEQ Permit Number 8504-INDUS. Landfill operations, and therefore the paste demonstration project, must be conducted consistent with the following approved design and operational plans: ► Craig Road Landfill Phase 1 Vertical Expansion, March 2011. ► Phase 2 Construction Plan Application, Engineering and Facility Plan, Craig Road Landfill Expansion, April 18 2012 ► Operations Plan, Craig Road Landfill, Revision 5, December 18, 2013 Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 3 of 13 July 17, 2017 2.2 EPA CCR Rules The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated 40 CFR Parts 257 and 261 on April 17, 2015, commonly referred to as the CCR rule. The CCR rule regulates disposal of CCR materials as a Subtitle D (non-hazardous) material and provides landfill design criteria, much of which is consistent with the current North Carolina solid waste rules with several exceptions, including liner system configuration and groundwater separation. Current Craig Road Landfill Phases 1 and 2 were designed and permitted prior to promulgation of 40 CFR Parts 257 and 261, however, must comply with specific requirements including Part 257.81 requiring stormwater management consistent with a Run-on Run-off Control Plan. The proposed paste demonstration project has been designed to comply with Craig Road Landfill Run-on Run-off Control Plan requirements. 3 Demonstration Project Description The proposed paste demonstration project design components are defined and described in this section. To consistently communicate the project layout and design, the demonstration project components are defined as follows: ► Demonstration Pad: overall area designated for the lined demonstration cells, process area, leachate collection area, and ancillary equipment ► Demonstration Cells: discrete, lined test cells designed to receive paste for short and long-term evaluation and monitoring ► Process Area: location of paste raw material (ash, lime, water) storage, paste process/mixing, and paste pumping equipment ► Leachate Collection Area: area designated for temporary storage of leachate and contact water generated from the demonstration cells The location and general extents of the Demonstration Pad and related areas are illustrated in the Demonstration Project Plan shown on Drawing BLC_C907.005.004 (Appendix A) 3.1 Site Development The proposed paste demonstration project will encompass approximately 4 acres and will be located wholly within the Craig Road Landfill Phase 1. The Demonstration Pad is located on the southwestern Phase 1 top deck near the Phase 1 and Phase 2 landfill side slope. This location was selected to control stormwater and contact water within Phase 1; to promote leachate collection and storage by gravity; and to isolate the paste demonstration project from Phase 2 landfill operations. The Demonstration Cells were designed primarily to achieve the objective of short and long-term environmental monitoring of the paste. This objective will be accomplished by measuring the quantity and analyzing the quality of leachate and contact water run-off over time. 3.2 Subsurface Conditions The Demonstration Pad will be located on the top deck of the Craig Road Phase 1 landfill directly over existing ash fill that is approximately 40 feet thick. Ash has been placed and compacted to 95 percent of the standard Proctor (ASTM D698) maximum dry density and within five percent of the optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D 698. The in-place ash density and moisture content is routinely tested as required by the Operations Plan. It is anticipated that the Phase 1 landfill will serve as a suitable foundation for the Demonstration Pad. 3.3 Process Area Description The Process Area is designated for paste raw material (ash, lime, Portland cement, wastewater), non- potable water storage, paste process mixing, paste pumping equipment, and as a general staging and support area. The Process Area will be paved with an all-weather aggregate surfacing to promote clean Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 4 of 13 July 17, 2017 and orderly operations, to reduce contact and disturbance of underlying ash, and support vehicle and equipment traffic during project implementation. The Process Area location is illustrated on Drawing BLC-C907.005.004. The exact Process Area size and location of raw material storage and paste process mixing and pumping equipment is undetermined at this time as the detailed process design is in progress. Contact water and stormwater will be managed consistent with the landfill Operations Plan (Appendix E). Dust will be controlled in accordance with landfill Dust Control Plan (Appendix E). 3.4 Demonstration Pad Description 3.4.1 Demonstration Cell Size Duke is proposing to evaluate two paste mix designs placed in three demonstration cells. The demonstration cell sizes are controlled by the volume of waste water available, the desired paste thickness, the desired paste surface area, and the desired leachate collection system area. Duke is currently conducting a nanofiltration (NF) pilot project to concentrate FGD wastewater for paste production. The NF pilot is scheduled to produce 50,000 gallons of concentrated FGD wastewater. Considering that anticipated mix designs will be comprised of approximately 70 percent solids (ash and binders such as lime or Portland cement) and 30 percent concentrated FGD waste water and accounting for approximately 25 percent contingency (waste) during mixing and deposition, the estimated total volume of paste to be produced is approximately 400 cubic yards. The target paste thicknesses were selected to yield a reasonable thickness below the depth of influence for seasonal and daily temperature fluctuations. Two demonstration cells are targeting a 6-foot paste thickness; one demonstration cell is targeting a 10-foot paste thickness. The design leachate collection system area and paste surface area were evaluated based on the available paste volume and target thickness. The demonstration pad will be constructed with a liner system, leachate collection system, and contact water collection system to achieve the primary project goals of measuring the quantity and quality of leachate and contact water run-off over time. The Demonstration Pad grading plan illustrating the three demonstration cells is shown on Drawing BLC_C907.005.006. To maximize the paste thickness with a limited paste volume, the demonstration cells are designed with steep interior side slopes of 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical (1.5:1). A geosynthetic- reinforced slope will be constructed to maintain stability of these steep slopes. Exterior demonstration cell side slopes vary from 3:1 to 7:1. The demonstration cell identification number and dimensions are summarized below. Cell Identification Target Paste Thickness (ft) Base Dimensions: width x length (ft) Top Dimensions: width x length (ft) 6-1 6 5 x 15 26 x 36 6-2 6 5 x 15 26 x 36 10-1 10 5 x 15 41 x 50 3.4.2 Demonstration Cells and Liner System Subgrade The demonstration cells and liner system subgrade will be constructed on existing ash fill, or ash fill placed specifically to construct the demonstration cells. Existing ash has been placed, compacted, and monitored consistent with Operations Plan requirements and its suitability will be verified by proof rolling prior to new fill placement. Ash, obtained from within the existing landfill, used to build the demonstration cell side slopes, will be moisture conditioned and compacted to meet the project technical specifications. Soil cover, indicated on the drawings, will be obtained from the landfill soil stockpile. Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 5 of 13 July 17, 2017 3.4.3 Geosynthetic Liner System The geosynthetic liner system includes the following from the top to bottom (within the cell floor): ► geotextile separator ► aggregate leachate collection layer ► nonwoven geotextile cushion ► 60 mil double-sided textured HDPE geomembrane ► prepared subgrade Note that the leachate collection system is located only on the demonstration cell floor. The leachate collection system does not extend up the side slopes to prevent contact water at the final paste surface from migrating into the leachate collection system. Therefore, the liner system on the side slopes consists solely of the geomembrane placed over prepared subgrade. 3.4.4 Protective Cover Protective cover is a standard landfill liner system component, intended to protect the liner system from heavy equipment traffic during operations. Paste will be pumped into the demonstration cells and heavy equipment loading is not anticipated. Protective cover is not proposed for the paste demonstration cell floor or side slope. Direct contact between the paste and leachate collection system is required on the cell floor to facilitate leachate collection. Protective cover is not used on the cell side slope because it could serve as a conduit for surface contact water migration into the leachate collection system. 3.4.5 Paste Contact Water Run-off and Conveyance Stormwater collected within the direct demonstration cell limits will be considered paste “contact water”. The direct demonstration cell limits are defined by the inside top crest of the demonstration cell slopes. A fundamental project objective is to evaluate the quantity and quality of paste contact water generated. As paste is pumped into the cell, it is expected to flow away from the paste discharge piping creating a shallow surface slope. Therefore, paste contact water is expected to flow to the downslope end of the demonstration cell where it will be collected and conveyed to a storage tank. 3.4.6 Stormwater Collection and Removal The demonstration pad top deck/berms, exterior side slopes, and area surrounding the demonstration pad will be graded to drain stormwater to the existing landfill contact water collection system consisting of chimney drains. All stormwater within the project area will be managed as ash contact water. The current stormwater drainage areas and destinations defined in the Operations Plan and the Run-on Run-off Control Plan will be maintained. 3.4.7 Operational/Interim/Final Cover Operational, intermediate, and final cover are commonly used in standard landfill operations. However, as the demonstration project goals are to evaluate paste contact water and leachate generation quantity and quality as well as effects of long-term paste exposure, these covers are not proposed. During paste production and demonstration cell filling, temporary rain covers may be used to protect fresh paste (prior to the desired hydration state) from exposure to precipitation. 3.5 Leachate Collection Area The leachate collection area is designated for storing paste contact water and leachate during the demonstration project. To simplify operations, the leachate collection system is designed to flow by gravity. Therefore, storage tanks must be located at an elevation lower than the bottom of the demonstration cells. To achieve this elevation change, storage tanks will be located in a leachate collection area situated on the southwestern Phase 1 side slope. Soil and ash will be excavated from the landfill side slope to create a bench of suitable size. The bench will accommodate storage tanks, vehicle access, and stormwater management. Leachate management details are summarized in the following section. Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 6 of 13 July 17, 2017 3.6 Leachate Generation Anticipated leachate generation rates were estimated using the EPA’s Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) software as modified by the University of Hamburg. Average and peak leachate generation rates for the leachate collection system (LCS) were estimated for a theoretical 50-year timespan. These leachate generation rates were used to design the LCS. Paste was modelled as coal combustion fly ash, since the HELP software does not have paste default properties, and evaluating paste properties to support HELP modeling is beyond the scope of this study. Laboratory evaluations indicate that paste has a lower permeability than ash. Therefore, the estimated leachate generation rates are likely higher than what will be realized in the demonstration project and the LCS components will be adequately (over) sized based on fly ash properties. 3.7 Leachate Migration Leachate migration from the demonstration cells will be controlled and contained by the liner system. Furthermore, overall paste leachate migration from the demonstration cells, if any, would be attenuated by the approximately 40-foot of ash underlying the demonstration pad and contained by the primary landfill liner system. 3.8 Leachate Discharge Leachate and paste contact water will be drained from the demonstration cells to storage tanks located in the leachate collection area. Storage tanks will be equipped with instrumentation capable of measuring the rate of leachate generation. Leachate and contact water storage tanks will be sized to contain approximately one-month of average leachate or paste contact water generation. From the storage tanks, leachate will be discharged to the landfill LCS through piping designed for gravity flow to the Phase 2 LCS chimney drains or by trucking to one of the three landfill leachate storage basins. 4 Design Analysis Engineering design analyses were completed to evaluate paste contact water and stormwater management, geosynthetics design, demonstration cell stability, and demonstration cell sizing. The following design analyses are summarized in this section and presented in Appendix B. ► Paste Contact Water Calculation ► Paste Demonstration Area Stormwater Calculation ► Leachate Generation Calculation ► Anchor Trench Calculation ► Liner System Geotextile Filter Design ► Liner System Geotextile Cushion Design ► Reinforced Slope Design Calculation ► Liner System Settlement ► Demonstration Cell Volume Calculation ► Landfill Stability (qualitative evaluation) 4.1 Paste Contact Water Stormwater collected within the direct demonstration cell limits will be considered paste “contact water”. The direct demonstration cell limits are defined by the inside top crest of the demonstration cell slopes. The paste contact water quantity was estimated for the 10 year, 24-hour storm to size storage tanks. For the largest of the two demonstration cell sizes (10-ft target paste thickness), the storage tanks will need to Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 7 of 13 July 17, 2017 hold a minimum of 5,150 gallons. Paste contact water conveyance piping was sized for the 15 year, 24- hour storm. Analyses indicate that 6-inch diameter piping is adequate for the design storm. 4.2 Demonstration Area Stormwater Stormwater that does fall within the demonstration cell limits, but flows from the top deck/berms, exterior side slopes, and area surrounding the demonstration pad is considered demonstration area stormwater. The entire demonstration pad lies within the Phase 1 landfill area. The landfill is designed to accommodate stormwater generated from the 25 year, 24-hour storm as documented in the Run-On Run- Off Control Plan. Review and evaluation of the stormwater from the proposed demonstration pad area indicate that the existing landfill surface water controls (chimney drains) can accommodate stormwater flow. 4.3 Leachate Generation Leachate generation rates were estimated using the software package Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP, version 3.95D) for 6-ft and 10-ft paste thicknesses. Modeling was performed for a time duration of 50 years. Synthetically generated precipitation, temperature, solar radiation, and evaporation data for Greensboro, North Carolina were produced using HELP software. Calculations were performed for an estimated range of paste properties. HELP model results for the paste properties and thickness, resulting in the greatest rate of leachate generation, indicate a peak rate of 93 gallons per cell per day (gpcd) and an average rate of 13 gpcd. The leachate generation rates will be used as the basis for sizing leachate storage tanks. 4.4 Anchor Trench The goal of the anchor trench design is to select a combination of runout length and trench depth that provide resistance to temporary loads on the geomembrane prior to and during paste deposition, and provide resistance less than the yield strength of the geomembrane. In an extreme case of temporary loading such as high velocity wind, it is considered preferable for the geomembrane to be pulled out of the trench rather than to be ruptured. Dimensions sufficient for resisting pullout due to typical temporary loads were selected, based on experience, to be a runout length of 3 feet and a trench depth of 1.5 feet. The anchor trench calculation confirmed that the estimated pullout resistance for these dimensions is less than the yield strength of 60-mil thick HDPE geomembrane. 4.5 Liner System Geotextile Filter This calculation identifies the desired properties of the geotextile filter to be placed as the top layer of the liner/leachate collection system for separating paste above from the leachate collection system aggregate below. An alternative filter design, based on a sand layer between the geotextile and paste was also considered. If a geotextile is used alone, the required apparent opening size should be less than 0.1 mm (#140 sieve). If this design is selected, anti-clogging testing is recommended. If the alternative sand/geotextile filter design is used, a geotextile with an apparent opening size of 0.6 mm (#30 sieve), 0.425 mm (#40 sieve), or similar can be used if geotextile permeability and survivability criteria are satisfied. 4.6 Liner System Geotextile Cushion The objective of this calculation is to size a nonwoven geotextile that will cushion and protect the HDPE geomembrane from puncture due to the overlying LCS drainage aggregate. The geotextile cushion design is based on a 0.75 inch protrusion height corresponding to a 1.5 inch maximum aggregate particle size. Results indicate that a nonwoven geotextile with a mass per unit area of 16 oz/yd2 is recommended as a cushion layer above the HDPE geomembrane. 4.7 Reinforced Slope Design In order for the demonstration cells to satisfy goals for paste thickness and paste volume simultaneously, the side slopes of the demonstration cells need to be steeper than allowable for compacted ash slopes. Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 8 of 13 July 17, 2017 Therefore, reinforced slopes with wrapped geotextile facing will be used to construct the demonstration cell side walls at an inclination of 1.5H:1V. Based on available geotextile reinforcement products, the minimum long term design strength for reinforcement was selected to be 500 pounds per foot (lbs/ft). Slope stability analyses were performed using Slope/W software to select the vertical spacing and embedment length for primary reinforcement. A vertical spacing of 2 feet and primary embedment length of 8 feet were selected. A single geotextile piece may be used for each lift of reinforcement and facing wrap, with a 4-foot embedment for the top of the wrap. 4.8 Liner System Settlement The goal of the liner system settlement calculation is to estimate total and differential settlement of the largest demonstration cell liner system due to the weight of paste, and to evaluate whether the proposed demonstration cell structures and liner system can accommodate the settlement. Based on elastic compression of the underlying compacted ash (approximately 40 feet thick), the estimated total settlement of the cell floor is approximately 0.1 foot. The slope of the cell floor is estimated to decrease by approximately 0.03% due to differential settlement. The liner system can accommodate this settlement. The pipe slopes intersecting the liner system will need to be sufficient to accommodate this settlement without reversing flow direction. 4.9 Deposition Cell Volume The deposition cell design objective is to contain the estimated volume of paste produced while achieving the target paste thicknesses of six and ten feet. The volume of paste produced is controlled by the available wastewater quantity of 50,000 gallons. Assuming a 25 percent paste loss during operations, the net paste volume that can be produced is 413 cubic yards. Based on the current demonstration cell geometry, the required paste volume to achieve the target thicknesses is 379 cubic yards. This analysis concludes that the demonstration cells are adequately sized. 4.10 Landfill Stability The stability of the Craig Road Landfill is a design consideration. As part of the landfill design process, slope stability analyses were performed to confirm stability for the maximum landfill elevation (910 feet or higher), which exceeds the current elevation of the Phase 1 top deck (approximately 830 feet). The construction of the demonstration cells is consistent with plans to fill above the current top deck, with the exception that paste density is greater than landfilled ash density. The volume of higher density material is insignificant in the context of the entire landfill and is not expected to affect landfill stability. Specific slope stability analyses are not necessary for this application. 5 Environmental Controls and Management Environmental controls and management will be implemented in accordance with the Permitted Operations Plan and Dust Control Plan. 5.1 Nuisance Controls Litter, odors, and vectors are not anticipated to be concerns for the Demonstration Project. Coal ash and the coal ash-based paste does not attract vectors. Windblown waste common at municipal solid waste landfills is not anticipated to be a problem. Odors are typically not a concern with CCR landfills. Although coal ash does have the potential to be blown by the wind generating “dust”, it is anticipated that paste will be less susceptible to dusting due to chemical reactions that bind the particles together in a manner similar to concrete. However, dust control will be achieved by following the measures outlined in the landfill Operations Plan and companion Dust Control Plan. Dust control measures will be implemented when necessary, and will include watering of roads and exposed work areas. Dust control measures will be employed with paste raw material (fly ash, lime, Portland cement) handling systems used in the paste mixing process. Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 9 of 13 July 17, 2017 5.2 Erosion and Sedimentation Control Erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) measures during paste demonstration project operations will consist of monitoring and repairing stormwater conveyances and E&SC features. The work areas will be monitored for erosion and repaired as necessary. Contact water generating areas within the work area will be graded to drain towards chimney drains which discharge to the LCS and prevent contact water run-off. The overall geometry of the demonstration pad itself and the overall Phase 1 landfill top deck, where the demonstration pad is located, prevent run-on by design. 6 Construction 6.1 Construction Sequence The proposed paste demonstration construction sequence is defined as follows: ► Site Preparation: o installing E&SC measures around the perimeter of the work area o stripping existing interim cover and vegetation as needed o grading to achieve design subgrade elevations ► Demonstration Pad: o cutting, filling, and grading ash to construct three demonstration pad cells o installing liner and leachate collection systems o installing soil and seeding portions of exterior slopes o grading ash adjacent to the demonstration area to promote contact water drainage o installing aggregate on portions of the exterior slopes and the top deck/berm areas for access o installing aggregate access roads around the demonstration pad perimeter ► Process Area: o installing and grading aggregate surfacing o installing paste process equipment including liquid storage tanks, dry material storage, material handling equipment, a mixer, a paste pump, and a piping network to convey paste from the process area to the demonstration pad cells ► Leachate Collection Area: o excavating and grading to construct the leachate collection area access road and bench o installing aggregate surfacing o installing leachate collection piping and tanks ► Instrumentation: o installing environmental monitoring instrumentation in the demonstration cells and leachate collection area. Duke will hire an experienced earthworks and landfill contractor to construct the demonstration facility. Amec Foster Wheeler will provide Construction Quality Assurance monitoring and testing to observe and document that construction was completed in accordance with the plans and technical specifications. Upon construction completion, a construction documentation report will be submitted to NCDEQ for concurrence. 6.2 Drawings The proposed paste demonstration project construction plans and details are communicated in the drawings.

The CQA Plan is presented in Appendix D. Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 11 of 13 July 17, 2017 7 Demonstration Monitoring and Observation Duke, Amec Foster Wheeler, and UNC Charlotte Stakeholders will monitor, observe, and test the short and long-term paste demonstration project performance. The monitoring, observation, and testing will focus on: ► evaluating paste process mixing, pumping, and placement ► evaluating short and long term paste physical characteristics ► demonstrating and verifying bromide sequestration and environmental performance ► evaluating the quantity and quality of leachate generation ► evaluating the quantity and quality of contact-water runoff Monitoring, observation, and testing details will be defined in the Operations and Monitoring Sampling and Analysis Plan (OMSAP). The OMSAP will address sampling and analysis protocols (frequency and methods) and reporting requirements. Short-term monitoring, sampling, and analyses during paste mix production and demonstration pad filling, as well as long-term demonstration pad performance will be addressed. The OMSAP will also identify demonstration pad and process equipment operations criteria such as demonstration pad filling procedures. The OMSAP is currently under development and will be finalized prior to starting demonstration project operations. 8 Reporting 8.1 Construction Certification Report Following demonstration pad and process area construction, Amec Foster Wheeler will develop a Construction Certification Report to document that construction was completed in accordance with the drawings, technical specifications, and CQA Plan. The Construction Certification Report will include relevant construction documentation, including soil and geosynthetics laboratory test results, documentation of field density tests of compacted fill, documentation of geosynthetics installation, a certification statement, record drawings, technician daily field reports, and other construction documentation as required. The Construction Certification Report will be submitted to NCDEQ for concurrence, however, we understand that NCDEQ approval or acceptance of the report is not required to begin the demonstration project operations. 8.2 Operations Report Upon demonstration pad filling, stakeholders will prepare a report documenting the observation, monitoring, sampling, and testing activities. The report will summarize mixing and process operations and demonstration pad filling. The report will include observation logs, sampling information, field and laboratory test results, daily field reports, photographs, and other relevant information. 9 Decommissioning Duke and UNC Charlotte plan to monitor the paste demonstration project long-term performance for two or more years. Long-term monitoring may extend further because the relevance of long-term monitoring depends on the data obtained as well as continued stakeholder interest. The pace of ash generation and landfill operations will control when ash placement will transition into the Phase 1 landfill and when the demonstration project will need to be decommissioned. Paste process equipment (e.g. material storage silos, mixer, pump, and piping) will be removed after the demonstration cells are filled with paste. Ancillary equipment needed to operate the demonstration project, such as leachate and contact water storage tanks and piping, will be removed after long-term monitoring is complete. The demonstration pad (engineered fill and demonstration cell liner systems) will be abandoned in place. Engineering and Facility Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 Page 12 of 13 July 17, 2017 The primary concern of leaving the demonstration cells in place is that the liner system geosynthetics would contain leachate from future ash filling. To mitigate this concern, enough of the liner system (e.g. the downstream side and leachate collection sump) will be removed to allow leachate flow out of the demonstration cells and into the surrounding and underlying ash. Duke will coordinate the specific decommissioning methods with and seek concurrence from NCDEQ prior to decommissioning. In addition, Duke will prepare a report documenting that decommissioning was completed in accordance with the agreed upon methods. 10 Conclusions This Engineering Plan and accompanying drawings, design analyses, and technical specifications communicate the proposed paste demonstration project design and details with the intent of obtaining North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Solid Waste Section (SWS) permission to conduct the project within the permitted limits of Duke’s Craig Road Landfill. This Engineering Plan demonstrates that the proposed project is generally consistent with and does not violate the intents of the approved landfill Permit to Operate, Operations Plan, and North Carolina solid waste management rules.

THE EXISTING SOIL SHOULDHAVE THESE CRITERIA:xENOUGH FINE-GRAINED (SILT AND CLAY) MATERIAL TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATEMOISTURE AND NUTRIENT SUPPLY (AVAILABLE WATER CAPACITY OF ATLEAST .05 INCHES WATER TO 1 INCH OF SOIL).xSUFFICIENT PORE SPACE TO PERMIT ROOT PENETRATION.xSUFFICIENT DEPTH OF SOIL TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE ROOT ZONE. THEDEPTH TO ROCK OR IMPERMEABLE LAYERS SUCH AS HARDPANS SHOULD BE12 INCHES OR MORE, EXCEPT ON SLOPES STEEPER THAN 2:1 WHERE THEADDITION OF SOIL IS NOT FEASIBLE.xA FAVORABLE PH RANGE FOR PLANT GROWTH, USUALLY 6.0 - 6.5.xFREE FROM LARGE ROOTS, BRANCHES, STONES, LARGE CLODS OF EARTH,OR TRASH OF ANY KIND. CLODS AND STONES MAY BE LEFT ON SLOPESSTEEPER THAN 3:1 IF THEY ARE TO BE HYDRO SEEDED.IF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA ARE NOT MET - I.E., IF EXISTING SOIL IS TOOCOARSE, DENSE, SHALLOW OR ACIDIC TO FOSTER VEGETATION - SPECIALAMENDMENTS ARE REQUIRED. THE SOIL CONDITIONERS DESCRIBED BELOW ANDTOPSOIL WILL BE APPLIED.SEEDBED PREPARATIONINSTALL NECESSARY MECHANICAL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROLPRACTICES BEFORE SEEDING, AND COMPLETE GRADING ACCORDING TO THEAPPROVED PLAN.LIME AND FERTILIZER NEEDS SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY SOIL TESTS.DIRECTIONS, SAMPLE CARTONS, AND INFORMATION SHEETS ARE AVAILABLETHROUGH COUNTY AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION OFFICES. TESTING IS ALSO DONEBY COMMERCIAL LABORATORIES.WHEN SOIL TEST RESULTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR TEMPORARY SEEDBEDPREPARATION FOLLOW RATES SUGGESTED IN THE SEEDING SPECIFICATIONSSHOWN AT RIGHT. APPLICATION RATES USUALLY FALL INTO THE FOLLOWINGRANGES:xGROUND AGRICULTURAL LIMESTONE: LIGHT-TEXTURED, SANDY SOILS: 1 TO1-1/2 TONS/ACRE ,HEAVY-TEXTURED, CLAYEY SOILS: 2-3 TONS/ACRExFERTILIZER: 700-1000 LB/ACRE OF 10-10-10 (OR THE EQUIVALENT)APPLY LIME AND FERTILIZER EVENLY AND INCORPORATE INTO THE TOP 4-6INCHES OF SOIL BY DISKING OR OTHER SUITABLE MEANS. OPERATE MACHINERYON THE CONTOUR. WHEN USING A HYDRO SEEDER, APPLY LIME AND FERTILIZERTO A ROUGH, LOOSE SURFACE.ROUGHEN SURFACES PRIOR TO SEEDING.COMPLETE SEEDBED PREPARATION BY BREAKING UP LARGE CLODS AND RAKINGINTO A SMOOTH, UNIFORM SURFACE (SLOPES LESS THAN 3:1). FILL IN OR LEVELDEPRESSIONS THAT CAN COLLECT WATER. BROADCAST SEED INTO A FRESHLYLOOSENED SEEDBED THAT HAS NOT BEEN SEALED BY RAINFALL.SEEDINGSEEDING DATES GIVEN IN THE SEEDING MIXTURE SPECIFICATIONS AREDESIGNATED AS "BEST" OR "POSSIBLE". SEEDINGS PROPERLY CARRIED OUTWITHIN THE "BEST" DATES HAVE A HIGH PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS. IT IS ALSOPOSSIBLE TO HAVE SATISFACTORY ESTABLISHMENT WHEN SEEDING OUTSIDETHESE DATES. HOWEVER, AS YOU DEVIATE FROM THEM, THE PROBABILITY OFFAILURE INCREASES RAPIDLY. SEEDING ON THE LAST DATE SHOWN UNDER"POSSIBLE" MAY REDUCE CHANGES OF SUCCESS BY 30-50%. ALWAYS TAKE THISINTO ACCOUNT IN SCHEDULING LAND-DISTURBING ACTIVITIES.LABELING OF NON-CERTIFIED SEED IS ALSO REQUIRED BY LAW. LABELS CONTAINIMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SEED PURITY, GERMINATION, AND PRESENCE OFWOOD SEEDS. SEEDS MUST MEET STATE STANDARDS FOR CONTENT OFNOXIOUS WEEDS. DO NO ACCEPT SEED CONTAINING "PROHIBITED" NOXIOUSWEED SEED.INOCULATE LEGUME SEED WITH THE RHIZOBIUM BACTERIA APPROPRIATE TO THESPECIES OF LEGUME.APPLY SEED UNIFORMLY WITH A CYCLONE SEEDER, DROP-TYPE SPREADER,DRILL, CULTIPACKER SEEDER, OR HYDRO SEEDER ON A FIRM, FRIABLE SEEDBED.WHEN USING A DRILL OR CULTIPACKER SEEDER, PLANT SMALL GRAINS NO MORETHAN 1 INCH DEEP, GRASSES AND LEGUMES NO MORE THAN 1/2 INCH.EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE CALIBRATED IN THE FIELD FOR THE DESIRED SEEDINGRATE.WHEN USING BROADCAST-SEEDING METHODS, SUBDIVIDE THE AREA INTOWORKABLE SECTIONS AND DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF SEED NEEDED FOR EACHSECTION. APPLY ONE-HALF THE SEED WHILE MOVING BACK AND FORTH ACROSSTHE AREA, MAKING A UNIFORM PATTERN: THEN APPLY THE SECOND HALF IN THESAME WAY, BUT MOVING AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE FIRST PASS.MULCH ALL PLANTINGS IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEEDING.HYDRO SEEDINGSURFACE ROUGHENING IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT WHEN HYDRO SEEDING,AS A ROUGHENED SLOPE WILL PROVIDE SOME NATURAL COVERAGE FOR LIME,FERTILIZER, AND SEED. THE SURFACE SHOULD NOT BE COMPACTED ORSMOOTH. FINE SEEDBED PREPARATION IS NOT NECESSARY FOR HYDROSEEDING OPERATIONS: LARGE CLODS, STONES, AND IRREGULARITIES PROVIDECAVITIES IN WHICH SEEDS CAN LODGE.RATE OF WOOD FIBER (CELLULOSE) APPLICATION SHALL BE 1,000 - 2,000 LB/ACRE.APPLY LEGUME INOCULANTS AT FOUR TIMES THE RECOMMENDED RATE WHENADDING INOCULANT TO A HYDRO SEEDER SLURRY.IF A MACHINERY BREAKDOWN OF 1/2 TO 2 HOURS OCCURS, ADD 50% MORE SEEDTO THE TANK, BASED ON THE PROPORTION OF THE SLURRY REMAINING.

Contact water storage tanks will need to be sized to store this volume of contact water. The 25-year 24-hour storm event can be conveyed adequately by 6-inch diameter piping for the paste contact water collection system. Notes: Revision Log: No. Description Originator Verifier Technical Reviewer 00 Initial Submittal Robert King Shubhashini Oza Joshua Bell Paste Contact Water Calculation Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 2 of 6 07/17/2017 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this calculation is to estimate the paste contact water storage volume requirements and conveyance sizing for the Paste Demonstration project. This calculation estimates the quantity of paste contact water that would be generated for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event, the storage volume required to collect the contact water generated, and the paste contact water conveyance piping size for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event. METHOD: Paste contact water storage volume was calculated by the rainfall-runoff relation. This relation was calculated using the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service (SCS), now the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) method. The SCS method assumes that direct runoff is always less than or equal to the depth of precipitation. Amec Foster Wheeler assumed in their calculations that some of the depth of water would be retained in the associated area. Paste contact water conveyance pipe was evaluated using Bentley Flow Master V8i (SELECTseries 1) software. The paste contact water conveyance was designed to handle the 25-year, 24-hour storm event peak discharge. DEFINITION OF VARIABLES: A area CN curve number Ia initial abstraction P depth of precipitation Pe direct runoff S potential maximum retention after runoff begins (in) V velocity CALCULATIONS: 1.0 Paste Contact Water Storage Run-on and run-off control systems were evaluated for the 2, 5, 10 and 25-year storm recurrence interval. Site-specific precipitation estimates were obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlas 14 for the Walnut Cove, North Carolina weather station. Rainfall Abstractions Rainfall abstractions are defined as all losses before runoff begins. Losses may consist of infiltration, depression storage, evaporation, and other factors. Rainfall abstractions can be estimated using the SCS Method as presented in the following series of equations: 𝑆=1000 𝐶𝑁−10 [Equation 1] Paste Contact Water Calculation Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 3 of 6 07/17/2017 𝐼𝑎=0.2𝑆 [Equation 2] Therefore, 𝐼𝑎=200 𝐶𝑁−2 [Equation 3] The land use conditions for the paste demonstration cells will be similar to newly graded class D soil; therefore, a curve number of 94 was chosen. The initial abstraction for run-off from CCR paste material having a curve number of 94 is calculated as follows: 𝐼𝑎=200 94 −2 =0.13 �ℎ𝑛𝑐�𝑒𝑠 [Equation 4] The precipitation excess or direct run-off depth using the SCS method is summarized in the table below and calculated by: 𝑃𝑒=(𝑃−𝐼𝑎)2 𝑃−𝐼𝑎+𝑆 [Equation 5] The quantity of paste contact water will vary depending on the size of the cell and the rainfall depth for the associated storm recurrence interval. The paste deposition cells are trapezoidal in shape and the surface area contributing to direct contact with the paste is bound by the deposition cell crest of slope. Paste contact water was estimated using the appropriate deposition cell surface area and summarized in Table 1: The average monthly rainfall for Winston-Salem, N.C. during the month of July, the statistically wettest month for the year is approximately 5.0 inches according to U.S. climate data. The calculated runoff volumes for the different storm events are summarized in Table 2. The 10-year storm event of 5.1 inches produces approximately 5,150 gallons of paste contact water for 10-ft deep cell and 2,530 gallons of paste contact water for each of the 6-ft deep cells. Sample collection and discharge of contact water storage is expected to occur monthly; therefore, contact water storage tanks would be required to be sized to store the higher capacity of 5,150 gallons.

Site-specific precipitation estimates were obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlas 14 for the Walnut Cove, North Carolina weather station. The 25- year, 24-hour storm event generates 6.1 inches of precipitation for this location. Paste contact water conveyance pipes were evaluated using Bentley Flow Master V8i (SELECTseries 1) software. The pipes will be gravity driven and flow capacity will be governed by the slope, a minimum of two percent slope was considered for evaluation. The results are summarized in the following table: The full flow capacity of a 6 inch pipe (1.03 cfs) is larger than the peak flow capacity (0.39 cfs), the modeled flow rate of 0.39 cfs will result in 2.5” normal depth inside the pipe. DISCUSSION: The 10-year 24-hour storm event will produce approximately 4,300 gallons of paste contact water for the 10-ft deep cell. The paste contact water storage tanks would require to be able to contain this volume without the use of an overflow valve.

APPENDIX B - II Paste Demonstration Area Stormwater Calculation Paste Demonstration Area Stormwater Calculation Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 1 of 3 07/17/2017 Calculation Title: Paste Demonstration Area Stormwater Calculation Summary: Review of existing Run-On and Run-Off Control System Plan modeled for the 25-year, 24- hour storm event indicates that the existing chimney drains can accommodate the proposed rerouting of run-off from the Paste Demonstration Area. Notes: Revision Log: No. Description Originator Verifier Technical Reviewer 00 Initial Submittal Robert King Shubhashini Oza Mark Shumpert Paste Demonstration Area Stormwater Calculation Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 2 of 3 07/17/2017 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this calculation is to evaluate stormwater flow to the existing chimney drains at the Craig Road Landfill during the Paste Demonstration Study. Chimney drains were modeled for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event in the Run-On Run-Off Control System Plan dated May 2, 2016 and revised April 19, 2017. METHOD: Chimney drain design guidelines were evaluated using HydroCAD modeling software and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method for calculating runoff. DEFINITION OF VARIABLES: A area CN curve number i rainfall depth n Manning's roughness coefficient Q flow Tc time of concentration V velocity ANALYSIS OF EXISTING STORMWATER FLOW The current Run-On and Run-Off Control System Plan models the contact water from 13.9 acres of Phase 1 draining to a centrally located chimney drain. The drainage area contribution to the existing chimney drain in northeast corner of Phase 1 was assumed to be negligible and was not modeled. Current operation of Phase 2A promotes drainage of 13.3 acres to two chimney drains as per Figure 1. The proposed Paste Demonstration Project will alter the run-off to Phase 1 and Phase 2A chimney drains. The Phase 1 drainage area will decrease from 13.9 acres to 13.6 acres, while the drainage area of Phase 2A chimney drains will increase from 13.3 to 13.6 acres. The surface condition of each drainage area is fly ash, which was assumed to be consistent with a newly graded area hydric soil class B based on engineering experience. The time of concentration was assumed to be six minutes, which is the minimum time of concentration per TR-55. The hydrologic condition and peak flow to the chimney drains for the existing and the proposed conditions are presented in Table 1.

DISCUSSION: The 0.3 acre increase in drainage area to the Phase 2A chimney drains resulted in a flow increase of approximately 2.2 cfs and a peak elevation increase of 0.03 feet. The 0.3 acre decrease in drainage area to Phase 1 resulted in a peak flow and peak elevation decrease of 2.3 cfs and 0.03 feet, respectively. A review of the existing Run-On and Run-Off Control System Plan indicates that the current chimney drains can accommodate the proposed rerouting of the runoff from the Paste Demonstration Area.

Calculations were performed for an estimated range of paste properties. Using the HELP model and the paste properties and thickness resulting in the greatest rate of leachate generation, the peak leachate generation rate is estimated to be 93 gallons per cell per day (gpcd) with an average of 13 gpcd.

METHOD: Leachate generation rates were estimated using the software package Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP, version 3.95D). HELP is a quasi-two-dimensional hydrologic model that conducts water balance analysis of Landfills, cover systems and solid waste disposal, and containment facilities. The model accepts weather, soil and design data, and uses solution techniques that account for the effects of surface storage, snowmelt, runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, vegetative growth and decay, soil moisture storage, and lateral subsurface drainage. CALCULATIONS: 1.0 Define HELP model inputs HELP software was used to calculate leachate generation rates based on the assumptions and material parameters described as follows. 1.1 Model Assumptions Modeling was performed for a time duration of 50 years. Synthetically generated precipitation, temperature, solar radiation, and evaporation data for Greensboro, North Carolina were produced using HELP software. For the purposes of modelling, the Demonstration Cell was assumed to be a one acre square with side lengths of approximately 209 feet. The slope length, 15.8 feet, was used to match the maximum drainage distance for the liner system. Liner system slopes were assumed to be 5 percent. The demonstration cell contents and surface conditions will consist of paste. At the time of this writing, the properties of paste needed as input to the HELP model are not certain. Amec Foster Wheeler attempted to band a possible range of leachate generation rates by reviewing outputs from three different soil textures: fly ash, silty clay and sandy clay (soil texture #30, #28, and #27) representing a permeability range of two orders of magnitude. A curve number of 94 was assumed to simulate the contact water run-off anticipated for the paste. Initial moisture contents of all the layers were initialized to approximately reach steady state conditions by the HELP model. The geosynthetic liner system includes a single liner system within the cell floor and on the cell side slopes. The liner system geosynthetics include the following from the top to bottom: • geotextile filter • aggregate leachate collection layer • non-woven geotextile cushion Paste Leachate Generation Calculation Paste Demonstration Paste Contact Stormwater Calculation Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 3 of 6 7/17/2017 • primary 60 mil double-sided textured HDPE geomembrane • Prepared subgrade The geotextile filter is intended to separate the paste from the aggregate, and was not included in the HELP model. Each paste soil texture was modeled for both 6-ft and 10-ft thicknesses. 1.2 Cell Dimensions The demonstration pad will consist of three deposition cells, two of the deposition cells will have 6-ft of paste deposition and the third cell with contain 10-ft of paste deposition. The deposition cells will be constructed with 1.5 to 1 side slopes. Two selected mix-designs will be evaluated in these demonstration cells. • Deposition Cell 1 – Mix design 1, 6-ft deposition depth • Deposition Cell 2 – Mix design 2, 6-ft deposition depth • Deposition Cell 3 – Mix design 1 or 2. Will be selected after the finalization of the two mix-designs (end of Phase 2). 10-ft deposition depth The surface area of the paste at the deposition depth is presented in Table 1. 1.3 Material Parameters Material parameters were selected in accordance with default HELP model soil textures. At this time, it is not known if these material properties are representative of paste. Three different scenarios were evaluated by varying the soil texture assigned paste. The material parameters are described as follows (from top to bottom, assuming intermediate cover): Case 1 and 4: Fly Ash – Soil Texture No. 30 (coal-burning electric plant fly ash) • Thickness = Case 1: 72 inches (6 feet) Case 4: 120 inches (10 feet) • Porosity = 0.541 • Field Capacity = 0.187 • Wilting Point = 0.047 • Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity = 5.0 × 10-5 cm/sec Case 2 and 5: Silty Clay – Soil Texture No. 28 (USDA Soil Texture moderately compacted) • Thickness = Case 1: 72 inches (6 feet) Case 4: 120 inches (10 feet) Length Width Length Width 1 5 15 23 33 6 759 2 5 15 23 33 6 759 3 5 15 35 45 10 1,575 Deposition Cell Floor Dimensions Top of Paste Table 1: Deposition Dimension Depth Surface Area Paste Leachate Generation Calculation Paste Demonstration Paste Contact Stormwater Calculation Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 4 of 6 7/17/2017 • Porosity = 0. 452 • Field Capacity = 0. 411 • Wilting Point = 0. 311 • Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity = 1.2 × 10-6 cm/sec Case 3 and 6: Sandy Clay – Soil Texture No. 27 (USDA Soil Texture moderately compacted) • Thickness = Case 1: 72 inches (6 feet) Case 4: 120 inches (10 feet) • Porosity = 0. 40 • Field Capacity = 0. 366 • Wilting Point = 0. 288 • Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity = 7.8 × 10-7 cm/sec Gravel – Soil Texture No. 21 (silty sand) • Thickness = 18 inches • Porosity = 0. 397 • Field Capacity = 0. 032 • Wilting Point = 0. 013 • Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity = 3.0 × 10-1 cm/sec • Drainage length = 15.8 ft. • Slope = 5 percent Primary Geomembrane – Soil Texture No. 35 (HDPE geomembrane) • Thickness = 0.06 inches (60 mil) • Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity = 2.0 × 10-13 cm/sec • Pinhole density = 2/acre • Installation defects = 2/acre • Placement quality = good Paste Leachate Generation Calculation Paste Demonstration Paste Contact Stormwater Calculation Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 5 of 6 7/17/2017 2.0 Estimate leachate generation rates The average and peak leachate generation rates estimated using HELP model are summarized in the following tables.

Maintain stability at the interface between the subgrade and the geomembrane; and 2. The pullout resistance of the anchor trench should be less than the yield strength of the geomembrane. METHOD: The forces acting on the anchor trench and the yield strength of the geomembrane will be compared using the methods presented in Koerner’s “Designing with Geosynthetics”, 6th. Ed. [Ref. 1].

For the purposes of this calculation, it was assumed that the interface friction angle is equal to 80% of the friction angle of soil (280), which is equal to 22.4o. It is also assumed that the reinforcing geotextile/geomembrane interface is 22.4o. Since the interface friction angle is less than the side slope angle of the paste demonstration cells (i.e., 1.5H:1V or 33.69 o), friction is not sufficient to hold the geomembrane on the slope. The pullout resistance of the anchor trench will be relied on to anchor the geomembrane at the top of the demonstration cell slopes. The anchor trench will be designed to resist tension in the geomembrane (up to the allowable force shown in Section-2.0). 2.0 Compare forces acting on the anchor trench to the material strength It is preferable for the geomembrane to pull out of the anchor trench rather than be ruptured. Thus, the pullout resistance of the anchor trench should be less than the yield strength of the geomembrane. 2.1 Describe forces acting on the anchor trench The forces acting on the anchor trench are presented in Figure 1. Figure 1: Force diagram for anchor trench [Ref. 1] Anchor Trench Calculation Paste demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 4 of 6 7/17/17 The forces involved are presented in the following equation: 𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑤𝑐𝑛𝑠(𝛽)≥𝐹𝑇𝜎+𝐹𝐿𝜎+𝐹𝐿𝑇−𝑃𝐴+𝑃𝑁 [Ref. 1] As shown in Figure 1 and the equation above, the strength of the geomembrane is compared to forces accounting for the runout portion of the anchor trench and the turndown portion of the anchor trench. 2.2 Evaluate the strength of the geomembrane The strength of the geomembrane (Tallow) is assumed to be the required yield strength of a 60- mil textured geomembrane [Ref. 2]. The allowable force in the geomembrane was calculated in the following table: 2.3 Evaluate the forces on the runout portion of the anchor trench The forces acting on the runout portion of the anchor trench are the shear force above the geomembrane due to cover aggregate (FU), shear force below the geomembrane due to cover aggregate (FL), and shear force below the geomembrane due to vertical component of Tallow (FLT). The equations for the forces on the runout portion of the anchor trench are presented as follows: 𝐹𝑇𝜎=𝜎𝑁𝐺𝑠𝑎𝑛𝛽𝑇(𝐾𝑅𝑁) [Ref. 1] 𝐹𝐿𝜎=𝜎𝑁𝐺𝑠𝑎𝑛𝛽𝐿(𝐾𝑅𝑁) [Ref. 1] 𝐹𝐿𝑇=0.5 (2𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽 𝐿𝑅𝑂)(𝐾𝑅𝑁)𝑠𝑎𝑛𝛽𝐿=𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑤𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽 𝑠𝑎𝑛𝛽𝐿 [Ref. 1] The depth of cover aggregate over the anchor trench is 0.5 feet and can be assumed to crack during failure; therefore, the friction angle above the geomembrane due to cover aggregate (U) is negligible [Ref. 1]. For the purposes of this calculation it was assumed that the friction angle below the geomembrane due to cover aggregate (L) is equal to 80% of friction angle of subgrade. The applied normal stress from cover aggregate (NG) is a product of the cover aggregate depth (dAG) and the unit weight of the aggregate (AG) and was calculated and presented in Table 2.

The forces acting on the runout portion of the anchor trench were calculated and presented in Table 3. 2.4 Evaluate the forces on the turndown portion of the anchor trench The forces acting on the turndown portion of the anchor trench are the active earth pressure against the backfill side of the anchor trench (PA) and the passive earth pressure against the in- situ side of the anchor trench (PP). The equations for the forces on the turndown portion of the anchor trench are presented as follows: 𝑃𝐴=(0.5𝛽𝐴𝑇𝑐𝐴𝑇+𝜎𝑛)𝐾𝐴𝑐𝐴𝑇 [Ref. 1] 𝑃𝑁=(0.5𝛽𝐴𝑇𝑐𝐴𝑇+𝜎𝑛)𝐾𝑁𝑐𝐴𝑇 [Ref. 1] 𝐾𝐴=𝑠𝑎𝑛2 (45 −𝜑 2) [Ref. 1] 𝐾𝑁=𝑠𝑎𝑛2 (45 +𝜑 2) [Ref. 1] The forces acting on the turndown portion of the anchor trench PA and PP were calculated and presented in Table 4.

The forces acting on the anchor trench and the material strength were estimated in Steps 2.1 through 2.4 and compared in Table 5. The estimated summation of forces acting on the anchor trench is less than the allowable geomembrane strength; therefore, the anchor trench design protects against geomembrane rupture in the event of a temporary extreme tensile force on the geomembrane. DISCUSSION: The anchor trench as designed satisfies stability requirements for the conditions analyzed and protects against geomembrane rupture. Interface friction testing should be performed using site specific and project specific materials for each interface that will exist in the constructed project. Interface friction testing should be performed over the anticipated range of normal loads on the liner system. An anchor trench having a depth of 1.5 feet and a runout of 3 feet provides an estimated pullout resistance that is close to but less than the allowable geomembrane strength; therefore, stability is satisfied in a manner protective of the geomembrane.

The geotextile is designed to filter the overlying paste layer from entering the underlying leachate collection layer. An alternative filter design, which involves having a sand layer between the geotextile and paste is also considered. If a geotextile is used alone, the required apparent opening size should be less than 0.1 mm (#140 sieve). If this design is selected (i.e., using only a geotextile as the filter layer), anti- clogging testing is recommended. If the proposed alternative filter design (using ASTM C33 Sand between the geotextile and paste) is used, a geotextile with an apparent opening size of 0.6 mm (#30 sieve), 0.425 mm (#40 sieve), or similar can be used as long as geotextile permeability and survivability criteria are met.

Maier Liner System Geotextile Filter Design Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 2 7/17/17 OBJECTIVE: This calculation package is prepared as part of the liner system design for the proposed paste demonstration deposition cells at Belews Creek Steam Station, Stokes County, North Carolina. The objective of this calculation is to size the geotextile filter component that will be placed as the top layer of the liner/leachate collection system below the paste. INTRODUCTION: Three paste deposition cells with two different waste heights (six feet and ten feet) are planned as part of this paste demonstration project. Two deposition cells with six feet of paste will have different paste compositions. Paste consists of approximately 70% solids (more than 60% fly ash, less than 10% lime) and 30% flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) process waste water. The liner/leachate collection system of the disposal areas will consist of the following components from top to bottom: • Geotextile; • Granular drainage layer (18-in. thick, #57 aggregate); • Nonwoven geotextile; • 60-mil double-sided textured HDPE geomembrane; • Compacted subgrade. The top geotextile layer is placed between the paste and granular drainage layer. Paste is anticipated to set and solidify after a certain period of time. Prior to setting and after setting due to desiccation, fines may separate from the paste. Therefore, the top geotextile of the liner system needs to be designed for filtration. The majority of the paste solids will be fly ash; and therefore, fly ash properties will be used for filter design. Since fly ash is a fine-grained material and may require a geotextile with very small openings for retention, clogging of the filter could be an issue. Therefore, an alternative filter design is considered in this calculation package. The alternative filter design, referred to as Filter 2 hereafter, consists of using a sand filter between the geotextile and the paste. For the alternative analysis, the geotextile filter will be designed as a filter for the overlying sand. ASTM C 33 sand will be considered for this sand layer. Gradation curves of the site-specific fly ash and ASTM C33 sand are presented in Attachment 1. The gradation curve of the fly ash is developed using the grain size analysis report prepared by AGAT Laboratories. Percent finer is reported by volume in this report and used to develop the gradation curve for fly ash. ASTM C33 sand gradation is obtained from an US Army Corps of Engineers report on ASTM C33 sand (Berney and Smith, 2008). METHOD: Geotextile filters are designed to allow liquid to flow through; and also, to prevent migration of upstream soil particles with this flow. In addition to these permeability and retention criteria, geotextiles also designed to meet anti-clogging, survivability, and durability criteria. These design criteria are discussed below. Luettich et al. (1992), Geosynthetic Research Institute (GRI) GT13(a) (GRI, 2012), and Mirafi’s geotextile design guide titled “Geotextile Design, Liner System Geotextile Filter Design Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 3 7/17/17 Application, and Product Selection Guide” are used to define the geotextile filter criteria used in this calculation package. 1.0 Retention Criterion Openings of the geotextile should be small enough to retain the upstream material. Most soil retention criterion methods compare upstream soil characteristics to the apparent opening size (AOS or O95) of the geotextile. O95 indicates the approximate largest opening size available for soil to pass through, which is determined by dry sieving uniform sized glass beads through the geotextile until the weight of the beads passing through the geotextile is 5% of the total weight of beads (Koerner, 1998). Among the available methods, the soil retention criteria flow chart developed by Luettich et al. (1992) is used in this calculation package. Luettich et al. (1992) has two soil retention criteria flow charts for steady state and dynamic flow conditions. This soil retention criteria flow chart for steady state flow condition is presented in Figure 1 as obtained from the Mirafi geotextile design guide and used in this calculation package. 2.0 Permeability Criterion A filter geotextile needs to be permeable enough to allow liquids to pass through without causing pressure buildup. Minimum allowable geotextile permeability is determined using Giroud’s equation (Luettich et al., 1992). 𝑘𝑔>𝑖𝑠× 𝑘𝑠 Where: kg: geotextile permeability is: hydraulic gradient ks: soil permeability Hydraulic gradient of 1.5 is recommended for landfill leachate collection/detection removal systems in Luettich et al. (1992). 3.0 Anti-clogging Criterion In addition to opening size, number of openings of the geotextile is also essential for the long- term performance of the geotextile. A geotextile with adequate number of openings is less prone to clogging. For nonwoven geotextiles, Luettich et al. (1992) recommends using the largest porosity available, but not less than 30%. For woven geotextiles, Luettich et al. (1992) recommends using the largest percent open area (POA) available, but not less than 4%. 4.0 Geotextile Survivability Criterion The objective of geotextile survivability requirements is to provide that the geotextile is not damaged by the construction technique or the materials placed in contact with the geotextile. Geosynthetic Institute (GRI) GT13(a) (GRI, 2012) provides geotextile degree of survivability as a function of subgrade conditions, construction equipment, and lift thickness. These survivability tables are presented as Attachment 2. (1) Liner System Geotextile Filter Design Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 4 7/17/17 5.0 Geotextile Durability Criterion Luettich et al. (1992) recommended high carbon black content and UV stabilizers for added resistance to UV degradation during installation. Chemical compatibility testing is recommended, if needed. CALCULATIONS: 1.0 Retention Criterion Openings of the geotextile should be small enough to retain the upstream material. Most soil retention criterion methods compare upstream soil characteristics to the apparent opening size (AOS or O95) of the geotextile. O95 estimations based on the soil retention criterion is presented in Attachment 3 and summarized below. Filter 1 (Paste - Geotextile) Apparent opening size of the filter geotextile is calculated using Luettich et al. (1992) method. Using Figure 1, assuming “less than 20% clay and more than 10% silt” and PI less than 5, the soil linear coefficient of uniformity (Cu’) is calculated to be 3.78. Using this calculated Cu’ and Figure 1, the following retention criterion is obtained as shown in Attachment 3: 𝑂95 < 0.1 𝑚𝑚 Filter 2 (ASTM C33 Sand - Geotextile) Apparent opening size of the filter geotextile is calculated using Luettich et al. (1992) method. Using Figure 1, assuming “less than 10% silt, and more than 10% sand”, the soil linear coefficient of uniformity (Cu’) is calculated to be 3.27 and 3.33. Using the calculated Cu’s and Figure 1, the following retention criterion is obtained as shown in Attachment 3: 𝑂95 < 1.98 𝑚𝑚 2.0 Permeability Criterion Equation 1 is used to calculate the geotextile permeability. 𝑘𝑔>𝑖𝑠× 𝑘𝑠 Filter 1 (Paste - Geotextile) kfly ash = 5 x 10-5 cm/s (HELP software default input for fly ash, Bergen and Schroeder (2013)) 𝑘𝑔>1.5× 5×10−5𝑐𝑚/𝑠 𝑘𝑔>7.5×10−5𝑐𝑚/𝑠 (1) Liner System Geotextile Filter Design Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 5 7/17/17 Hydraulic conductivity of fly ash could be as low as 1 x 10-7 cm/s. Higher hydraulic conductivity obtained from the HELP software manual was conservatively used since it will require higher geotextile permeability. If this filter design is used, geotextile permeability should be greater than 7.5 x 10-5 cm/s. Filter 2 (ASTM C33 Sand - Geotextile) ASTM C33 is classified as poorly graded sand (SP) in US Army Corps report on ASTM C33 Sand (Berney and Smith, 2008).

(1992) recommends using the largest porosity available, but not less than 30%. For woven geotextiles, Luettich et al. (1992) recommends using the largest percent open area (POA) available, but not less than 4%. 4.0 Geotextile Survivability Criterion Geotextile survivability criterion is presented in Attachment 3. Based on Table 3 of Attachment 3, the required degree of survivability is selected as Moderate (Class 2; for medium ground pressure equipment and cleared subgrade). Recommended geotextile properties are determined using Class 2 survivability as shown in Attachment 3 and presented in Table 1. It is assumed that nonwoven geotextile break at elongations are higher than 50% and woven geotextile elongations are lower than 50% (GRI, 2012). Table 1.

(1992) recommended high carbon black content and UV stabilizers for added resistance to UV degradation during installation. Due to short construction duration for this demonstration project, most geotextiles in the market should satisfy the geotextile durability criterion. SUMMARY: Geotextile filter criteria used in this calculation package are primarily from Luettich et al. (1992) and Mirafi Geotextile Design Guide (see Attachment 4). Two filter designs were evaluated: 1. Filter 1 (Paste - Geotextile) 2. Filter 2 (ASTM C33 Sand – Geotextile, assuming fine aggregate will be placed on top of the geotextile prior to paste placement on the liner system) The geotextile design requirements are summarized below: 1. Filter 1 (Paste - Geotextile) a. Apparent Opening Size: O95 < 0.1 mm b. Hydraulic conductivity: kg >7.5 x 10-5 cm/s c. Anti-clogging: porosity> 30% (if nonwoven is used) and percent open area > 4% (if woven is used) d. Survivability: see Table 1 2. Filter 2 (ASTM C33 Sand – Geotextile) a. Apparent opening size: O95 < 1.98 mm b. Hydraulic conductivity: kg >1.5 x 10-2 cm/s c. Anti-clogging: porosity> 30% (if nonwoven is used) and percent open area > 4% (if woven is used) d. Survivability: see Table 1 DISCUSSION: Based on the geotextile design requirements summarized in the previous section, if a geotextile is used alone as a filter layer, the required apparent opening size should be less than 0.1 mm (i.e. less than the calculated O95). Most of the available geotextiles (woven and nonwoven) have larger apparent opening sizes, so identifying a suitable product may be challenging. Commercially available product(s) with the required apparent opening size may not satisfy other criteria such as permeability or survivability. Recommended geotextile properties for Class 2 survivability (Table 1) includes an apparent opening size of 0.024 in. (0.61 mm). Therefore, this filter design may not be feasible. If this design is selected (i.e., using geotextile alone as the filter layer), anti-clogging testing is recommended. Hydraulics conductivity ratio (HCR) testing or gradient ratio test (ASTM D 5105) can be used for clogging testing (Luettich et al., 1992). If the proposed alternative filter design (using ASTM C33 sand between the geotextile and paste) is used, a geotextile with a commonly available apparent opening size of 0.6 mm (#30 Liner System Geotextile Filter Design Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 7 7/17/17 sieve), 0.425 mm (#40 sieve), or similar can be used as long as permeability criterion and survivability criteria are met. It should be noted that separation of solids from the paste is not anticipated during placement and setting, but the design includes a filter as a precaution. REFERENCES: 1.

SI Metric Units GT13(a) - 8 of 9 Rev. 3: 12/19/12 Table 3 - Required Degree of Survivability as a Function of Subgrade Conditions, Construction Equipment and Lift Thickness (Class 1, 2 and 3 Properties are Given in Table 1 and 2; Class 1 + Properties are Higher than Class 1 but Not Defined at this Time) Low ground- pressure equipment  25 kPa (3.6 psi) Medium ground-pressure equipment > 25 to  50 kPa (>3.6 to  7.3 psi) High ground- pressure equipment > 50 kPa (> 7.3 psi) Subgrade has been cleared of all obstacles except grass, weeds, leaves, and fine wood debris. Surface is smooth and level so that any shallow depressions and humps do not exceed 450 mm (18 in.) in depth or height. All larger depressions are filled. Alternatively, a smooth working table may be placed. Low (Class 3) Moderate (Class 2) High (Class 1) Subgrade has been cleared of obstacles larger than small to moderate-sized tree limbs and rocks. Tree trunks and stumps should be removed or covered with a partial working table. Depressions and humps should not exceed 450 mm (18 in.) in depth or height. Larger depressions should be filled. Moderate (Class 2) High (Class 1) Very High (Class 1+) Minimal site preparation is required. Trees may be felled, delimbed, and left in place. Stumps should be cut to project not more than  150 mm (6 in.) above subgrade. Fabric may be draped directly over the tree trunks, stumps, large depressions and humps, holes, stream channels, and large boulders. Items should be removed only if placing the fabric and cover material over them will distort the finished road surface. High (Class 1) Very high (Class 1+) Not recommended *Recommendations are for 150 to 300 mm (6 to 12 in.) initial lift thickness.

Fine soil particles are prevented from clogging drainage systems. 1 Filtration geotextiles provide alternatives to graded filters. SOLUTION Drainage Aggregate trench and blanket drains are commonly used to drain water from surrounding soils or waste materials. These drains are typically installed less than three feet deep. They may be at greater depths in situations where there is a need to significantly lower the groundwater table or to drain leachate. In loose or gap graded soils, the groundwater flow can carry soil particles toward the drain. These migrating particles can clog drainage systems. Erosion Control Stone and concrete revetments are often used on waterway slopes to resist soil erosion. These armored systems, when placed directly on the soil, have not suffi- ciently prevented erosion. Fluctuating water levels cause seepage in and out of embankment slopes resulting in the displacement of fine soil particles. As with trench drains, these fine soil particles are carried away with receding flows. This action eventually leads to undermining of the armor system. Typical Solutions Specially graded fill material which is intended to act as a soil filter is frequently placed between the drain or revetment and the soil to be protected. This graded fil- ter is often difficult to obtain, expensive to purchase, time consuming to install and segregates during placement, thus compromising its filtration ability. AND EXPLANATION OF THE PROBLEM Erosion Control Geotextile filters retain soil particles while allowing water to pass freely. Buildup of hydrostatic pressures in pro- tected slopes is prevented, thus enhancing slope stability. INTRODUCTION THE MIRAFI® Designing with Geotextile Filters Geotextiles are frequently used in armored erosion control and drainage applica- tions. Some of the most common applications include slopes, dam embank- ments/spilllways, shorelines armored with riprap, flexible block mats and concrete filled fabric formed systems. Drainage applications include pavement edge drains, french drains, prefabricated drainage panels and leachate collection/leak detection systems. In all of the above applications, geotextiles are used to retain soil particles while allowing liquid to pass freely. But the fact that geotextiles are widely used where their primary function is filtration, there remains much confusion about proper filtra- tion design procedures. For this reason, Mirafi®commissioned Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. to develop a generic Geotextile Filter Design Manual.The manual offers a systematic approach to solving most common filtration design problems. It is available to prac- ticing designers exclusively through Mirafi®. This Geotextile Filter Design, Applica- tion, and Product Selection Guide is excerpted from the manual. 2 • The filter must retain soil, implying that the size of filter pore spaces or openings should be smaller than a specified maximum value; and Mechanisms of Filtration A filter should prevent excessive migration of soil particles, while at the same time allowing liquid to flow freely through the filter layer. Filtration is therefore summarized by two seemingly conflicting requirements. • Retention:Ensures that the geo- textile openings are small enough to prevent excessive migration of soil particles. • Permeability:Ensures that the geo- textile is permeable enough to allow liquids to pass through without caus- ing significant upstream pressure buildup. • Anti-clogging:Ensures that the geotextile has adequate openings, preventing trapped soil from clog- ging openings and affecting perme- ability. Geotextile Filter Requirements Before the introduction of geotextiles, granular materials were widely used as filters for geotechnical engineering applications. Drainage criteria for geotextile fil- ters is largely derived from those for granular filters. The criteria for both are, therefore, similar. In addition to retention and permeability criteria, several other considerations are required for geotextile filter design. Some considerations are noted below: • The filter must be permeable enough to allow a relatively free flow through it, implying that the size of filter pore spaces and number of openings should be larger than a specified minimum value. • Survivability:Ensures that the geotextile is strong enough to resist damage during installa- tion. • Durability:Ensures that the geotextile is resilient to adverse chemical, biological and ultravi- olet (UV) light exposure for the design life of the project. The specified numerical criteria for geotextile filter requirements depends on the application of the filter, filter boundary conditions, properties of the soil being filtered, and construction methods used to install the filter. These factors are discussed in the following step-by-step geotextile design methodology DESIGN APPROACH SYSTEMATIC The proposed design methodology represents years of research and experi- ence in geotextile filtration design. The approach presents a logical progression through seven steps. Step 1:Define the Application Filter Requirements Step 2:Define Boundary Conditions Step 3:Determine Soil Retention Requirements Step 4:Determine Permeability Requirements Step 5:Determine Anti-Clogging Requirements Step 6:Determine Survivability Requirements Step 7:Determine Durability Requirements Design Methodology DEFINE BOUNDARY CONDI- TIONS STEP TWO: 3 • Sharp contact points such as highly angular gravel or rock will influence the geosynthetic survivability require- ments. • For all soil conditions, high confining pressures increase the potential for the geotextile and soil mass to intrude into the flow paths. This can reduce flow capacity within the drainage media, especially when geosynthetic drainage cores are used. Geotextile filters are used between the soil and drainage or armoring medium. Typical drainage media include natural materials such as gravel and sand, as well as geosynthetic materials such as geonets and cuspated drainage cores. Armoring material is often riprap or concrete blocks. Often, an armoring system includes a sand bedding layer beneath the surface armor. The armoring system can be con- sidered to act as a “drain” for water seeping from the protected slope. Identifying the Drainage Material The drainage medium adjacent to the geotextile must be identified. The primary reasons for this include: Retention vs. Permeability Trade-Off The drainage medium adjacent to the geotextile often affects the selection of the retention criterion. Due to the conflicting nature of filter requirements, it is necessary to decide whether retention or permeability is the favored filter charac- teristic. For example, a drainage material that has relatively little void volume (i.e., a geonet or a wick drain) requires a high degree of retention from the filter. Conversely, where the drainage material void volume is large (i.e., a gravel trench or riprap layer), the permeability and anti-clogging criteria are favored. Define Flow Conditions Flow conditions can be either steady-state or dynamic. Defining these conditions is important because the retention criteria for each is different. Examples of appli- cations with steady-state flow conditions include standard dewatering drains, wall drains and leachate collection drains. Inland waterways and shoreline protection are typical examples of applications where waves or water currents cause dynamic flow conditions. Evaluate Confining Stress The confining pressure is important for several reasons: • Large voids or high pore volume can influence the selection of the reten- tion criterion • High confining pressures tend to increase the relative density of coarse grained soil, increasing the soil’s resistance to particle move- ment. This affects the selection of retention criteria. • High confining pressures decrease the hydraulic conductivity of fine grained soils, increasing the potential for soil to intrude into, or through, the geotextile filter.

These charts show that the amount of gravel, sand, silt and clay affects the retention criteria selection process. Chart 1 shows the numerical retention criteria for steady-state flow conditions; Chart 2 is for dynamic flow conditions. For predominantly coarse grained soils, the grain- size distribution curve is used to calculate specific parameters such as Cu, C'u, Cc, that govern the retention criteria. Chart 2. Soil Retention Criteria of Dynamic Flow Conditions • For non-critical applications, estimate the soil-hydraulic conduc- tivity using the characteristic grain diameter d15, of the soil (see Figure 2 on the following page). • For critical applications, such as earth dams, soil permeability should be lab measured using representative field conditions in accordance with test procedure ASTM D 5084. Analysis of the soil to be protected is critical to proper filtration design. Define Soil Particle-Size Distribution The particle-size distribution of the soil to be protected should be determined using test method ASTM D 422. The grain size distribution curve is used to deter- mine parameters necessary for the selection of numerical retention criteria. Define Soil Atterberg Limits For fine-grained soils, the plasticity index (PI) should be determined using the Atterberg Limits test procedure (ASTM D 4318). Charts 1 and 2 show how to use the PI value for selecting appropriate numerical retention criteria. Determine the Maximum Allowable Geotextile Opening Size (O95) The last step in determining soil retention requirements is evaluating the maxi- mum allowable opening size (O95) of the geotextile which will provide adequate soil retention. The O95 is also known as the geotextile’s Apparent Open- ing Size (AOS) and is determined from test procedure ASTM D 4751. AOS can often be obtained from manufacturer’s literature.

(b)Critical applications may require designing with higher gradients than those given. Determine the Minimum Allowable Geotextile Permeability (kg) The requirement of geotextile permeability can be affected by the filter appli- cation, flow conditions and soil type. The following equation can be used for all flow conditions to determine the minimum allowable geotextile permeability (Giroud, 1988): kg ≥is ks Permeability of the geotextile can be calculated from the permittivity test procedure (ASTM D 4491). This value is often available from manufacturer’s lit- erature. Geotextile permeability is defined as the product of the permittivity, Ψ, and the geotextile thickness, tg: kg = Ψtg Both the type of drainage or armor material placed adjacent to the geotextile and the construction techniques used in placing these materials can result in dam- age to the geotextile. To ensure construction survivability, specify the minimum strength properties that fit with the severity of the installation. Use Table 2 as a guide in selecting required geotextile strength properties to ensure survivability for various degrees of installation conditions. Some engineering judgement must be used in defining this severity. 7 • For woven geotextiles, use the largest percentage of open area available, never less than 4%. NOTE: For critical soils and applica- tions, laboratory testing is recommend- ed to determine geotextile clogging resistance. • Use the largest opening size (O95) that satisfies the retention criteria. • For nonwoven geotextiles, use the largest porosity available, never less than 30%. To minimize the risk of clogging, follow this criteria: DETERMINE ANTI-CLOGGING REQUIREMENTS STEP FIVE: During installation, if the geotextile filter is exposed to sunlight for extended peri- ods, a high carbon black content and UV stabilizers are recommended for added resistance to UV degradation. Polypropylene is one of the most durable geotextiles today. It is inert to most naturally occurring chemicals in civil engineering applica- tions. However, if it is known that the geotextile may exposed to adverse chemicals (such as in waste containment landfill applications), use test method ASTM D5322 to determine its compatibility.

Maier Liner System Geotextile Cushion Design Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 2 of 5 7/17/17 OBJECTIVE: This calculation package is prepared as part of the liner system design for the proposed demonstration paste deposition areas at Belews Creek Steam Station, Stokes County, North Carolina. The objective of this calculation is to size the nonwoven geotextile of the liner system that will be placed between the geomembrane and the aggregate layer as a geotextile cushion to protect the geomembrane against puncture. The cushion design calculation is presented in Attachment 1. METHOD: The design formulas commonly used in the design of geotextiles for puncture protection of geomembranes are presented in Koerner (2008) referring to the following papers: Wilson- Fahmy et al. (1997), Narejo et al. (1997), and Koerner et al. (1997). 60-mil high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane was used in these studies. These design formulas are presented below as Equations 1 and 2. Koerner (2008) is presented as Attachment 2.

The original long term creep reduction factor (RFCR) was revised by Koerner (2008) using ten-year creep test results. Revised long term creep reduction factors are presented in Table 3 of Attachment 2. Actual pressure (Pact) due to the applied normal stress is calculated using Equation 3. In the proposed liner system configuration, layers above the liner geosynthetics are paste and granular drainage soil (aggregate) layers.

LINER SYSTEM: The liner system will consist of the following components from top to bottom: • Geotextile; • Granular drainage soil (18-in. thick, #57 aggregate); • Nonwoven geotextile; • 60-mil double-sided textured HDPE geomembrane; • Geocomposite drainage layer; • 60-mil double-sided textured HDPE geomembrane; • Compacted subgrade. For the purposes of these analyses, the granular drainage soil (aggregate) was assumed to have a wet unit weight () of 130 pcf. Maximum particle size of the aggregate is assumed to be 1.5 inch. PASTE DEPOSITION AREA: Three paste deposition areas with two different waste height (six feet and ten feet) are planned as part of this paste demonstration project. Two deposition areas with six feet of paste will have different paste compositions. For the purposes of these analyses, the paste was assumed to have a unit weight () of 150 pcf. CALCULATIONS: Cushion geotextile design calculation using Equations 1 and 3 is presented in Attachment 1. Calculation inputs and results are discussed below. 1.0 Actual pressure calculation Actual pressure due to the applied normal stress is calculated using Equation 3 as shown in Attachment 1. Unit weights of 130 pcf and 150 pcf are used for the aggregate and paste layers, respectively. Actual pressure is calculated for paste heights of six feet and ten feet. 2.0 Allowable pressure calculation Protrusion height corresponds to half of maximum aggregate size, which is assumed to be 1.5 inch. Therefore, 0.75 inch (19.05 mm) is used as the protrusion height in Attachment 1. Based Liner System Geotextile Cushion Design Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 4 of 5 7/17/17 on this protrusion height and long term creep recommendations of Koerner (2008) summarized in Table 3 of Attachment 2, a geotextile with a mass per unit area of 16 oz/yd2 (542.4 g/m2) is preliminarily selected for this analysis. If adequate FS is not achieved, a heavier geotextile will be selected. Modification factors, which are all less than or equal to 1.0, used in this analysis are summarized below: MFs (modification factor for protrusion height): conservatively assume 1.0 (angular particles) MFPD (modification factor for packing density): conservatively assume 1.0 (isolated particles) MFA (modification factor for arching in solids): conservatively assume 1.0 (no soil arching effect) Reduction factors, which are all greater than or equal to 1.0, used in this analysis are summarized below: RFCBD (reduction factor for long-term chemical/biological degradation): conservatively assume 1.5 (harsh leachate from Table 1 of Attachment 2) RFCR (reduction factor for long term creep): conservatively assume 2.0 (RFCR>1.5 is recommended for protrusion height of 12 mm for 550 g/m2 geotextile) Using the inputs presented here, allowable pressure for the geomembrane is calculated using Equation 2 as presented in Attachment 1. 3.0 FS calculation FSs calculated for paste heights of six feet and ten feet are presented in Attachment 1 and summarized below.

This recommendation is for a protrusion height of 0.75 inch (19.05 mm), which correspond to a maximum particle size of 1.5 inch (38.1 mm) for the granular drainage soil layer. Construction loading should be limited to 12 psi not to exceed the service load used in the calculation.

Through the work of a number of colleagues (George Koerner, Grace Hsuan, Ragui Wilson-Fahmy) and graduate students (Don Hullings, Dhani Narejo, Mike Montelone, Bao-Lin Hwu) this method has been used worldwide for such geotextile design for about twelve-years. The data from which the method was developed, however, was based on short-term laboratory testing. To extend it into a long-term prediction, tables for biological/chemical degradation and long-term creep were presented largely on the basis of intuition rather than by experiments. Of these two mechanisms, creep is by far the more important. Now, after ten-years of creep puncture testing we are in a position of verifying, or not, the originally proposed table. This verification issue is the focus of this White Paper. 2.0 The “GRI-Method” for Designing Geotextiles to Prevent Geomembrane Puncture Figure 1 shows details of the truncated plastic cones used as worst-case puncturing objects to a geomembrane. The containment vessels are used to apply hydrostatic pressure to the geomembrane test specimen (1.5 mm smooth HDPE was used throughout the various studies), in turn to the protection geotextile (the “variable” in all tests), and then onto the stationary array of three cones. A well graded concrete sand was used to backfill portions of the cones allowing for a known height-of-cone to be evaluated. (a) Sketches of truncated cones, their arrangement, and test vessel cross section (b) Single pressure vessel (c) Two of four identical pressure vessels with readout boxes Fig. 1. Geosynthetic Research Institute (GRI) test vessel(s) used to evaluate geotextile protection materials; one vessel was used in the short-term tests, four were used for the long-term tests. While many theses and technical papers have been written using this experimental test setup, a series of three papers captures the entire program; Wilson-Fahmy, et al. (1997), Narejo, et al. (1997) and Koerner, et al. (1997). The resulting design formula uses a conventional factor of safety as follows: actallowppFS/= (1) where FS = factor of safety (against geomembrane puncture), pact = actual pressure due to the applied normal stress, e.g., landfill contents or surface impoundments, and pallow = allowable pressure using different types of geotextiles and site-specific conditions Based on the experimental test results an empirical relationship for “pallow” was obtained. It is given as Equation 2. Its use, however, requires the use of modification factors and reduction factors as given in Table 1.

Koerner (2005) gives numeric examples, and Valero and Austin (1999) present design charts for the many variables contained in the design equation. It might be noted that this method is the only design method that allows for direct selection of a geotextile protection material without the need for large scale trail-and-error experimental testing. In Equation 2 the two terms “RFCBD” and “RFCR” are intended to extend the short term test results into a simulated long term performance behavior. Since HDPE is quite resistant to chemical and biological degradation, the term RFCBD is comparatively small. The term RFCR, however, is not small and in many cases a “not recommended” decision is suggested. Due to its importance in the overall design, a series of long term creep tests using this same methodology, i.e,. truncated cones, has been undertaken for the past ten years. This White Paper presents these new results which will be seen to lead to a revised table for the RFCR-values. 3.0 Creep Puncture Results After Ten-Years There are four identical test vessels used in this creep study, each containing three identical truncated cones shaped and configured as shown in Figure 1. In all cases the geomembranes being evaluated are 1.5 mm nominal thickness smooth HDPE which conform to the GRI-GM13 specification insofar as their physical, mechanical, and endurance properties are concerned. Also common to all four setups is the geotextile cushioning materials. They consisted of three layers of 200 g/m2 needle-punched nonwoven (continuous filament) polyester geotextiles. They will be collectively referred to as 600 g/m2 protection materials. The differences in the four test vessels are the heights of the truncated cones causing the puncture to occur and the applied hydrostatic pressures. Regarding the cone heights, sand is placed and compacted in the vessels leaving a protrusion height rising above the sand level; see Figure 2. As placed, two vessels had initial cone heights of 12 mm and the other two had initial cone heights of 38 mm. It was recognized that 38 mm was unacceptable, e.g., in Table 1b, “not recommended” is listed, but this limit was in need of being verified. Regarding the 12 mm cone heights, Table 1b indicates that it should be acceptable providing a FSCR = 1.3 is used in the design procedure of Equation 2. This, of course, had to be verified as well. (a) Array of three cones rising above sand level (b) An individual cone height of 38 mm Fig 2. Photographs indicating the truncated cone protrusions producing the puncturing action. Regarding the applied hydrostatic pressure, there was considerable uncertainty. The design procedure using Eqs. 1 and 2 does not address a maximum pressure. As a result high hydrostatic pressures were used for the two 12 mm cone heights (430 and 580 kPa) and low hydrostatic pressures were used for the two 38 mm cone heights (52 and 34 kPa). It is worth mentioning that hydrostatic pressure represents surface impoundment (liquid) stresses but overestimates solid waste stresses due to the arching that occurs within the solid waste as deformation occurs. The MFA-term in Table 1a attempts to take such geostatic stresses into account. Table 2 presents the results of this creep puncture study. Note that the cone heights varied somewhat due to shifting sand as pressure was applied and maintained. It should also be mentioned that the applied hydrostatic pressure represent 10 to 28% of the short-term failure stresses. As noted, all twelve of the truncated cones experienced yield in the geomembranes, with one having an actual break. The thickness reductions in the yield regions are also noted with the 38 mm cone heights resulting in the greatest reductions. Ta b l e 2 .

Regarding the type and amount of yield it was very subtle for the 12 mm cone heights and very pronounced for the 38 mm cone heights (there was a small break in the yield zone for one of the six cones); see Figure 3. An analytic analyses of the resulting geomembrane strains in the yield regions was attempted but the crescent moon shape of the yield regions was not amendable to standard tensile strain calculations. On the other hand thickness strains were tractable and Table 2 gives these results; see Koerner, et al. (2009) for complete details.

Photographs of several of the yield zones caused by truncated cone deformations of geomembrane test specimens. 4.0 Summary and Conclusions The need for geomembrane protection against puncture by objects such as stones and gravel has been apparent for many years. Commonly used for this purpose are relatively thick needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles. In essence, such geotextiles provide a cushion in blunting the inherent aggressiveness of the puncturing object against the geomembrane. Even further, geomembranes used as liner materials beneath solid waste landfills are commonplace and for large landfills the normal stresses on such geomembranes are very high, i.e., the puncture situation is greatly exacerbated. The type of geomembrane is also an issue. By virtue of its good chemical resistance and long anticipated lifetime, HDPE geomembranes are routinely used to line solid waste landfills. Many countries even sole source this type of geomembrane. That said, HDPE is (other than scrim reinforced geomembranes) the most sensitive geomembrane type to out-of-plane deformation, as is the situation arising from a puncturing stone located above or below the geomembrane; Nosko and Touze-Folz (2000). As a result of the above issues, several approaches toward selecting a proper geotextile protection material are in the literature. This White Paper has focused on the “GRI-Method” which was the result of a large short-term testing project that has been published and widely used for about twelve-years. Needed, however, is the projection of the short-term testing results into long-term behavior. This was done in the past using empirical tables for both degradation (RFCBD) and creep (RFCR) reduction factors; recall Equation 2. The degradation by chemical and biological agents is the lesser of the two reduction factors and, as a result, this present effort is focused entirely on the validity of the RFCR-values. The original values are given in Table 1b. To verify or refute the given values, this ten-year creep study of HDPE geomembranes and their associated geotextile protection materials against puncture has been concluded and this White Paper presents the results. The same type of pressure vessel and truncated puncturing cones as used in the short- term tests were used for these long-term tests. In all cases, 1.5 mm thick smooth HDPE geomembranes were used and protected by 600 g/m2 needle-punched nonwoven PET geotextiles. Three truncated cones were used in each of four pressure vessels, the differences being the protruding cone heights (six at ~ 12 mm and six at ~ 38 mm) and applied hydrostatic pressures (varying from 34 to 580 kPa). After ten-years of pressurization the vessels were dismantled and it was found that all six of the high cone heights (~ 38 mm) had pronounced yield zones in the geomembranes and one of the six had a small break within its yield zone. Clearly, such high cone heights with this type of geotextile are unacceptable. The entry in Table 1b in this regard mentions “not recommended” and this comment is hereby substantiated. However, the creep test results at low cone heights (~ 12 mm) provide a different conclusion. Table 1b indicates that a 12 mm cone height with a 550 g/m2 protection geotextile is acceptable with a RFCR = 1.3. Since all six of these cases resulted in geomembrane yield (albeit small yields in comparison to the higher cone heights), the Table 1b values must be changed and made more conservative in their design guidance. To be noted in Table 1b for RFCR, a not recommended (N/R) comment exists for the various protrusion heights in descending order as the cone heights decrease and the protection geotextile mass increases. By virtue of these long-term creep test results, the N/R comments must be extended. Thus, our conclusion as a result of this creep testing program is to replace the existing RFCR-values with Table 3 following: Table 3. Revised values for “RFCR” to be used in Equation 2 for geotextile protection materials design. “RFCR”-Values Protrusion Height (mm) Mass per unit area (g/m2) 38 25 12 Geomembrane alone 270 550 1100 >1100 N/R N/R N/R N/R 1.3 N/R N/R N/R 1.5 1.2 N/R N/R >1.5 1.3 1.1 Abbreviation: N/R = Not recommended Lastly, the entry of “>1.5” for a 12 mm cone height associated with a 550 g/m2 geotextile is felt to be appropriate considering the following items. • The geotextiles used at present are made from polypropylene fibers versus the tested geotextiles which were made from polyester fibers. Since the specific gravity of PP is 0.91 and that of PET is between 1.22 and 1.38, one has from 25% to 34% more filaments in an equivalent mass per unit area geotextile using polypropylene fibers. This provides for considerably greater protection capability. • The area of yield for the six ~ 12 mm cone heights was extremely small and the thicknesses of the remaining geomembrane was such that considerable deformation could still be sustained before break is even close to occurring. • The “>1.5” recommendation is precisely for additional conservatism and safety and if a designer wishes to be more conservative than the new recommended table suggests he/she is free to do so. 5.0 References Koerner, R.

(Amec Foster Wheeler) was retained by Duke Energy to design containment for paste demonstration cells at the Belews Creek Steam Station. The purpose of this calculation package is to provide design recommendations for reinforcement to enable construction of a 1.5H:1V reinforced slope constructed of compacted ash. Only the static load case is considered. METHOD: The analysis was performed using Slope/W software (Reference 1). General guidance on performing the slope stability analyses was obtained from multiple sources (including References 2, 3 and 4). The minimum slope stability factor of safety is provided in Table 1. In accordance with Reference 4, factors of safety for slopes other than the slopes of dams should be selected consistent with the uncertainty involved in the parameters and the consequences of failure. The load case analyzed is: Temporary Load Case: The temporary load case represents a static condition that exists for weeks to months. For this analysis, a lower bound drained shear strength for compacted ash of 28 degrees was used. Analysis for circular potential slip surfaces were performed using Spencer’s method and incorporating geosynthetic reinforcement. Table 1.

The paste containment cells will be constructed in a landfill where the phreatic surface will be kept below the modeled section by engineered measures. DISCUSSION: For the temporary condition analyzed, the calculated factor of safety against global slope failure is 1.24 and exceeds the target of 1.2. Wrapped-face construction of the reinforced soil slope will be needed to prevent surface sloughing. Based on recommended practice, the upper end of each wrap should have a minimum embedment of 4 feet. Each wrap should enclose a 2-foot thickness of compacted ash. This vertical spacing with an 8-foot lower embedment and 4-foot upper embedment is compatible with using a standard 15-foot geotextile roll width without cutting or seaming. REFERENCES: 1.

The settlement calculations are based on elastic theory. Notes: Revision Log: No. Description Originator Verifier Technical Reviewer 00 Initial Submittal Thomas Maier Rohit Garg Ken Daly Liner System Settlement Calculation Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 2 of 4 7/17/17 OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this calculation are to estimate the settlement of the paste demonstration cell liner system due to filling the demonstration cells with paste, and to calculate the post- settlement slope of the liner system floor. METHOD: Three demonstration cells will be constructed on compacted coal combustion residuals (CCR) within the Craig Road Landfill. Two cells will be filled with a 6-foot thickness of CCR paste, and one cell will be filled with a 10-foot thickness of CCR paste. These calculations are performed for the cell having a 10-foot thickness. The settlement of underlying compacted CCR due to the weight of paste is calculated to evaluate differential settlement of the demonstration cell liner system. Settlement of granular materials may consist of elastic compression (immediate settlement in response to loading) and consolidation (settlement over time corresponding to the dissipation of excess pore pressure as water gradually drains from fine-grained materials). There is no phreatic surface within the compacted CCR and no loading induced pore pressures are anticipated. Therefore, only elastic compression is considered in this calculation. DEFINITION OF VARIABLES: Esi elastic modulus of subgrade layer (lb/ft2) Hi thickness of ith compressible subgrade layer (ft) i designation for layer Msi soil layer constrained modulus of ith layer (lb/ft2) Sei settlement of ith subgrade layer (ft) St total subgrade settlement (ft) gi unit weight of layer i (lb/ft3) Δp vertical stress increase (lb/ft2) e strain (ft/ft) CALCULATIONS: 1. Equations Used for Elastic Compression One dimensional theory of elastic compression was used for settlement estimation. Elastic settlement of a subgrade layer can be represented by the following equation: 𝑆𝑒𝑖= ∆𝑝 𝐿𝑠𝑖𝐻𝑖 (Equation 1) where, Msi = soil layer constrained modulus of ith layer (lb/ft2) Δp = vertical stress increase (lb/ft2) Sei = elastic settlement of ith soil layer (ft) Hi = thickness of ith compressible subgrade soil layer (ft) Liner System Settlement Calculation Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 3 of 4 7/17/17 The constrained modulus can be calculated from the elastic modulus as follows: 𝐿𝑠𝑖=𝐸𝑠𝑖(1−𝜈) (1+𝜈)(1−2𝜈) (Equation 2) where, Esi = elastic modulus of ith layer (lb/ft2)  = poisson’s ratio (dimensionless) The total settlement of the liner system is the sum of the settlements of the layers: 𝑆𝑠= Σ𝑆𝑒𝑖 (Equation 3) Based on the geometry described in Section 3, differential settlement will reduce the slope of the cell floor. The slope reduction, based on an initial slope of 5 percent and a length of 15 feet is calculated as follows: ∆𝛽=∆𝑆 𝐿𝑓×100 (Equation 4) where, ∆𝛽 = decrease in slope ∆𝑆 = differential settlement Lf = length of cell floor 2. Material Properties The material properties used in the settlement calculation analysis are presented in the following table. Table 1: Material Properties Material Description Wet Unit Weight (pcf) Es (psf)  (dimensionless) Ms (psf) CCR Paste 150 NA NA NA Compacted CCR NA 500,000 0.30 673,077 The unit weight for CCR paste is based on a typical unit weight for concrete. Test data for the elastic modulus of compacted CCR were not available. However, by observation, compacted CCR is similar to medium dense sand. The elastic modulus of the compacted CCR was based on the upper end of the range for loose sand presented by Bowles, 1988 [Reference 1] (see Attachment 1). 3. Test Cell Geometry The floor of the test cell will be 15 feet long by 5 ft wide, with a 5 percent slope. The average thickness of CCR is expected to be 10 feet, and the surface of the paste is expected to have an Liner System Settlement Calculation Paste Demonstration Project Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810-16-0681 4 of 4 7/17/17 8 percent slope. The estimated thicknesses of CCR paste at the high end and low end of the cell are 10.2 feet and 9.8 feet, respectively. The thickness of compacted CCR below the test cell is approximately 40 feet. Rather than dividing this stratum into layers and computing the vertical stress influence factor for each layer based on the theory of elasticity, an influence factor of 1 is assumed for the full thickness of the stratum. 4.

The cell side slopes are to be 1.5 horizontal: 1 vertical. The required paste volume to achieve the average thicknesses in these three cells is 413 yd3. The total paste volume produced is controlled by the available wastewater volume of 50,000 gallons. Assuming a 25 percent paste loss during operations the net paste volume that can be produced is 413 yd3.

METHOD: The paste volume requirement was calculated based on the “Design Basis Report – Rev 01” for the paste demonstration study. The controlling parameter in these calculations is the availability of concentrated wastewater of 50,000 gallons. CALCULATIONS: 1.1 Pilot-scale Demonstration Cell Size and Volume The demonstration pad will consist of three demonstration cells: two of the demonstration cells have a target six foot paste thickness and the third cell has a target ten foot paste thickness. Two selected mix-designs will be evaluated in these demonstration cells. • Demonstration Cell 1 – Mix design 1, deposition depth - 6 feet • Demonstration Cell 2 – Mix design 2, deposition depth - 6 feet • Demonstration Cell 3 – Mix design 1 or 2. Will be selected after the two mix-designs are finalized. Deposition depth - 10 feet Beginning from a bottom dimension of 5 foot wide by 15 foot long, the demonstration cells will be constructed with a 1.5 to 1 side slope until a sufficient height is reached to contain the target paste thickness. The demonstration cells are designed with a geosynthetic liner system overlain by an 18-inch thick leachate collection system (LCS) aggregate layer on the cell floor. Volumes calculated in vertical increments are characterized by the stage-storage relationship reported in Table 1a and Table 1b. Based on the stage-storage volume calculations and the assumptions above, a total volume of 413 yd3 (81+81+250.5) of paste is required to achieve the target paste thicknesses.

These volumes are calculated based on the following assumptions: • The specific gravity (SG) of the paste is estimated to be 1.5. • The paste recipe is assumed to be 6% lime, 30% wastewater and 64% fly ash (ingredients by weight percentages.) • Density of wastewater is assumed to be the same as water.

No geomembrane material shall be unrolled and deployed if the material temperatures are lower than approximately 32 degrees Fahrenheit (F) unless otherwise approved by the Engineer and unless special precautions are taken such as storing the rolls inside a heated enclosure providing ambient temperatures of 50 degrees F or above. The specified minimum temperature for material deployment may be adjusted by the Engineer based on recommendations by the manufacturer. E. Geomembrane shall be placed in an effort to reduce wrinkles and subsequent fishmouths at the field seam interfaces. In general, “Leister” welds or “tack” welds shall not be used to temporarily hold sheets in position, however “Leister” welds may be used to secure small patches prior to extrusion welding. F. All geomembrane handling and installation procedures shall be performed by workers wearing shoes that will not damage the geomembrane. Only low ground pressure, rubber-tired, vehicular Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Issued for Demonstration Approval Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 July 17, 2017 HDPE Geomembrane 31 32 00 - 9 traffic shall be permitted to travel on the geomembrane. The maximum equipment ground pressure shall be eight pounds per square inch (psi). Conform to other written recommendations of the geomembrane manufacturer for pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the geomembrane. G. Only the panels which will be anchored and seamed together in one day shall be deployed. H. Sand bags shall be used as necessary to hold the geomembrane material in position during installation. Sand bags shall be sufficiently close-knit to preclude fines from working through the bags. Paper bags, whether or not lined with plastic, shall not be used. Burlap bags, if used, must be lined with plastic. Bags shall contain not less than 20 nor more than 60 pounds of sand, and shall be securely closed after filling and not over-filled to prevent sand loss. Bags that are split, torn, or otherwise losing their contents shall be immediately removed from the work area and any spills immediately cleaned up. I. Panels that become seriously damaged (torn or twisted permanently) shall be replaced. Less serious damage shall be repaired according to the requirements herein. Damaged panels, or portions of the damaged panels which have been rejected, shall be marked and their removal from the work area recorded. J. Geomembrane shall be installed so that there will be neither tension nor wrinkles at the average expected daily ambient temperature. K. Geomembrane shall not be allowed to “bridge over” (be pulled taut over) voids or low areas in the subgrade. Geomembrane in these areas shall be cut and patched to provide adequate material to allow the geomembrane to rest on the subgrade surface. L. In general, seams shall be oriented with the long dimension parallel to (down) the line of the maximum slope. Where seams can only be oriented across the slope, the upper panel shall be lapped over the lower panel. The total length of field seams shall be minimized. In corners and odd shaped geometric locations, the total length of field seams shall be minimized. Seams shall not be located at low points in the subgrade unless geometry requires seaming at such locations, and if approved by CQA Engineer personnel. M. Geomembrane panels shall be overlapped prior to seaming to whatever extent is necessary to provide a good weld. In no case shall overlaps be less than six inches for fusion welding at the time the welds are made. N. The Geomembrane Installer shall label panels at the time of deployment. Label date of deployment, roll number, and panel number. 3.4 SEAMING PROCEDURES A. No geomembrane material shall be seamed when ambient temperatures are less than 32 degrees F unless the following conditions are complied with: 1. Seaming of the geomembrane at ambient temperatures below 32 degrees F is allowed if the Geomembrane Installer can demonstrate to the Engineer and the CQA Engineer, using pre-qualification test seams, that field seams complying with the specifications can be fabricated at sub-freezing temperatures. Consistent passing test seams are required. Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Issued for Demonstration Approval Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 July 17, 2017 HDPE Geomembrane 31 32 00 - 10 2. In addition, the Geomembrane Installer shall submit to the Engineer for review, detailed procedures for seaming at low temperatures, including the following: preheating the geomembrane; and providing a tent or other device to prevent heat losses during seaming and rapid heat losses subsequent to seaming. B. No geomembrane material shall be seamed when the ambient temperature is above 104 degrees F and when the sheet temperature of the material is above 122 degrees F (as measured by an infrared thermometer or surface thermocouple), unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. C. Geomembrane seaming at temperatures outside the above stated temperature ranges will only be approved if: the manufacturer certifies that the seaming procedure shall not cause physical or chemical modification to the geomembrane; and an increased number of test welds is performed to determine appropriate seaming conditions when required by the CQA Engineer or Engineer. However, should the overall quality of the geomembrane decrease under such conditions, in the opinion of the Engineer, then seaming outside the allowable temperatures shall be discontinued. D. Seaming is not allowed while precipitation is occurring unless proper precautions are made to allow the seam to be made on dry geomembrane material or the welding process is protected from rain. The surface below the geomembrane shall not be saturated or frozen. E. Extra care shall be taken to clean and remove dirt, dust and other foreign materials from the surfaces of the geomembrane to be seamed. Surfaces shall be cleaned immediately prior to seaming. F. Seaming shall be performed using an automatic double wedge fusion welding system, equipment, and techniques. Extrusion welding shall only be used where fusion welding is not possible and as approved by the Engineer. G. The fusion-welding apparatus shall be an automated device, and shall be equipped with gauges giving applicable temperatures and pressures. Each welding machine shall be calibrated at least twice daily. The calibration procedure shall be witnessed by CQA Engineer personnel and shall be in accordance with the recommendations of the welding machine manufacturer. Certificates of calibration shall be provided to the CQA Engineer. H. The extrusion welding apparatus shall be equipped with gauges giving the temperature in the apparatus and at the nozzle. The extruder shall be purged prior to beginning a seam until all heat- degraded extrudate has been removed from the barrel. Whenever the extruder is stopped, the barrel shall be purged of all heat degraded extrudate. I. The Geomembrane Installer shall maintain at least one spare operable seaming apparatus of each kind on site. Equipment used for seaming shall not damage the geomembrane, and the geomembrane shall be protected from damage in areas with heavy traffic. J. The surface of the seam edges shall be prepared as recommended by the manufacturer to provide a seam to equal or exceed the seam strength requirements in this specification. The welding process shall bond the exposed edge of the panel to the underlying geomembrane panel. K. Fishmouths or wrinkles at the seam overlaps shall be cut along the ridge of the wrinkles back into the panel so as to effect a flat overlap. The cut fishmouths or wrinkles shall be seamed as completely as possible, and shall then be patched with an oval or round patch of the same geomembrane material extending a minimum of six inches beyond the cut in all directions.

Defects in seam and non-seam areas shall be repaired as required by this specification. B. Prequalification Test Seams 1. Engineer shall be notified when prequalification testing will be performed. 2. Welding machine calibration and test seams shall be performed by the Geomembrane Installer’s personnel and observed by CQA Engineer personnel to verify that seaming conditions are adequate. Test seams shall be conducted by each seamer at the beginning of each seaming period, and as determined by CQA Engineer personnel for each welding machine used that day. Test seaming shall be performed under the same conditions and with the same equipment as production seaming. Each test seam shall be at least ten feet long for hot wedge welding and three feet long for extrusion welding with the seam centered lengthwise. 3. Two adjoining one-inch wide specimens shall be die-cut by the Geomembrane Installer from each opposite end and from the center of the test seam. These specimens shall be tested by the Geomembrane Installer. Each specimen shall be tested in peel. The tests shall be performed using a field tensiometer, and shall not fail in the weld. Both welds of double wedge seams shall be tested in peel. Any failures through the seam shall be considered a failing test, regardless of the stress at failure. 4. The minimum acceptable seam strength values to be obtained for all specimens tested are those indicated in Table 313200B. 5. If a test seam fails, an additional test seam shall be immediately conducted.

The vacuum pump shall be charged and the tank pressure adjusted to three to four pounds per square inch, gauge (psig). d. CQA Engineer personnel shall periodically observe that a leak tight seal is created by the Geomembrane Installer. The Geomembrane Installer shall create the leak tight seal by wetting a strip of geomembrane approximately 12 inches by length of box with a soapy solution, placing the box over the wetted area and then compressing. The Geomembrane Installer shall then close the bleed valve, open the vacuum valve, maintain five psig for a period of approximately 15 seconds, and CQA Engineer personnel shall observe the geomembrane through the viewing window for the presence of soap bubbles. If no bubbles appear after 15 seconds, the area shall be considered leak tight. The box shall be moved over the next adjoining area with a minimum three inches overlap and the process repeated. e. All areas where soap bubbles appear shall be marked and repaired, and then retested under the observation of CQA Engineer personnel. f. CQA Engineer personnel shall observe all testing operations for uniformity and completeness, and shall record results at time of testing. g. All seams that are vacuum tested shall be marked by the Geomembrane Installer at the time of testing. Marking shall consist of the date tested, technician performing the test, and the results of the test. 6. Double Fusion seams with an enclosed space shall be air pressure tested by the Geomembrane Installer according to the following methods: a. Equipment for testing double fusion seams shall be comprised of, but not limited to: an air pump equipped with a pressure gauge capable of generating and sustaining a pressure of 30 psig, mounted on a cushion to protect the geomembrane; a rubber hose with fittings and connections; and a manometer equipped with a sharp hollow needle, or other approved pressure feed device. Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Issued for Demonstration Approval Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 July 17, 2017 HDPE Geomembrane 31 32 00 - 13 b. CQA Engineer personnel shall ensure that the Geomembrane Installer creates a leak- tight seal. The Geomembrane Installer shall perform the testing activities. Both ends of the seam to be tested shall be sealed and a needle or other approved pressure feed device inserted into the tunnel created by the double wedge fusion weld. The air pump pressure shall be adjusted, the valve closed, and the pressure stabilized for two minutes at a pressure of 28 psig (for 60-mil thickness). After the stabilization period, pressure shall be maintained for five minutes for the seam to be considered leak tight. The Geomembrane Installer shall remove the seal at the opposite end of the tested seam while CQA Engineer personnel observe the gauge. The needle or other approved pressure feed device shall be removed and the feed hole sealed if not covered by a patch at the end of the seam. Pressure tests shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures outlined in ASTM D5820. c. If loss of pressure exceeds three psig (for 60-mil thickness) during testing period, or pressure does not stabilize, the faulty area shall be located, repaired, and retested by the Geomembrane Installer. d. All seams that are vacuum tested shall be marked by the Geomembrane Installer at the time of testing. Marking shall consist of the date tested, technician performing the test, test start and end times, and test start and end pressures. 7. All non-destructive field seam tests shall be observed by CQA Engineer personnel and recorded at the time of testing. Records shall be included in the Daily Field Installation Reports. D. Destructive Field Seam Testing 1. A minimum of one destructive test sample per 500 feet of seam length shall be cut by the Geomembrane Installer from a location specified by CQA Engineer personnel. The Geomembrane Installer shall not be informed in advance of the sample location. In order to obtain test results prior to completion of geomembrane installation, samples shall be cut by the Geomembrane Installer as the seaming progresses. 2. CQA Engineer personnel shall mark all samples with their location and seam number at the time of sample collection. CQA Engineer personnel shall observe field testing of the samples and record the date, time, location, seam number, ambient temperatures, and pass or fail description according to ASTM D6392. A copy of the information must be attached to each sample portion. The Geomembrane Installer shall repair all holes in the geomembrane resulting from obtaining the seam samples. All patches shall be vacuum tested. If a permanent patch cannot be installed over the test location the same day of sample collection, a temporary patch shall be tack welded or hot air welded over the opening until a permanent patch can be affixed. 3. Each destructive test sample shall be 12 inches wide by 54 inches long, with the seam centered lengthwise. The sample shall be cut into three sections and distributed as follows: one 18-inch section shall be given to CQA Engineer personnel for testing; one 12-inch section retained by the Geomembrane Installer for field testing; and one 12-inch section shall be set aside for an archive sample. Holes for destructive seam testing shall be repaired as required in this specification. 4. The Geomembrane Installer shall die-cut at least three one-inch wide replicate specimens from the installer’s sample for field testing. Replicate specimens will not be required for extrusion welds. The specimens shall be tested for peel strength. Both welds of dual hot- wedge seams shall be tested in peel. To be acceptable, all replicate test specimens shall meet the seam strength requirements as required in this specification. Any specimen that fails through the weld or by partial failure exceeding 50 percent of the weld shall be considered a Non-Film Tear Bond break and shall be considered a failure. Die cutting and Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Issued for Demonstration Approval Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160681 July 17, 2017 HDPE Geomembrane 31 32 00 - 14 field testing of the replicate specimens shall be performed in the presence of CQA Engineer personnel. If the field tests pass, the sample qualifies for testing by the CQA Engineer. 5. Laboratory testing coordinated by the CQA Engineer shall conform to ASTM D6392. The preference is for the CQA Engineer to establish an on-site laboratory to the satisfaction of the Engineer for performing laboratory destructive tests. Five replicate specimens shall be tested in peel and five replicate specimens shall be tested in shear. Both welds of dual hot- wedge seams shall be tested in peel. To be acceptable, all replicate test specimens shall meet the seam strength requirements as required in this specification. 6. If a destructive sample fails the field or laboratory destructive tests, an additional sample shall be obtained at a distance of approximately 10 feet on each side of the failed sample location. Test specimens shall be obtained and field tested as specified in accordance with destructive field seam testing requirements. The process shall be repeated until the failed area is bounded by samples with passing test results. 7. The Geomembrane Installer shall repair the seam between the two nearest passed test locations with the failed location in between, or as directed by the CQA Engineer and/or Engineer. 8.

Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160861 Page 1 of 11 July 17, 2017 1 Introduction This Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) Plan was prepared with the Engineering Plan for the proposed Belews Creek paste demonstration project. As the proposed paste demonstration project includes a liner and leachate collection system to replicate landfill conditions, it was designed and will be constructed following standard landfill practices. This CQA Plan covers paste demonstration project construction including site preparation; grading for the proposed demonstration cells; installing a liner system, installing a leachate collection system (LCS), and constructing ancillary support facilities. The proposed paste demonstration project will be located wholly within the Craig Road Landfill. The Craig Road Landfill was designed, permitted, and is operated consistent with North Carolina solid waste management rules and the federal CCR rule. Therefore, the paste demonstration project is also subject to these rules. Since the paste demonstration project is located nearly 40 feet above the Craig Road landfill liner system, strict compliance with the rules, especially for CQA, are not required. However, this CQA Plan was prepared, and it is Duke Energy’s intent, that the project be constructed and monitored consistent with general landfill construction practices. 2 Project Background The project consists of permitting, designing, constructing, and operating paste demonstration cells at Belews Creek Steam Station. The objective of this CQA Plan is to outline the construction monitoring and testing program to document that the facility was constructed in general accordance with the approved design. Demonstration cell construction includes a combination of earthworks and geosynthetics construction. Demonstration cell construction will begin by excavating and placing compacted fill and subgrade fill to meet cell liner system grades. The proposed demonstration cells include a liner system installed on the demonstration cell subgrade. The liner system will consist of the following components from top to bottom (within the cell floor): ► geotextile separator ► aggregate leachate collection layer ► non-woven geotextile cushion ► 60 mil double-sided textured HDPE geomembrane ► prepared subgrade The LCS does not extend up the side slopes to prevent contact water at the final paste surface from migrating into the LCS. Therefore, the liner system on the side slopes consists solely of the geomembrane placed over prepared subgrade. Intermediate or final cover will not be placed on top of the paste to allow for data collection of run-off and leachate quality and quantity. 3 Project Team and Responsibilities 3.1 Owner Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke) is the project Owner. The Owner has overall responsibility for the project and will maintain the contractual relationships with the Design Engineer of Record (Engineer) and the Contractor(s). 3.2 CQA Project Team The CQA Project Team will oversee construction and will certify that construction was completed consistent with approved plans. Construction Quality Assurance Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160861 Page 2 of 11 July 17, 2017 3.2.1 Design Engineer of Record (Engineer) The Engineer is responsible for defining quality assurance requirements compatible with the project objectives, reviewing and approving shop drawings, reviewing and approving submittals, outlining procedures for the analysis of test data, and preparing quality assurance memorandums and quality assurance reports. The Engineer is responsible for design changes, clarifications, and specification addenda. The Engineer also has the ultimate responsibility for approving or disapproving elements of the project. The responsibility to stop work is held by the Owner. CQA documents will be prepared, signed, and sealed by the Engineer assuming the CQA firm is the same as the design firm. The Engineer will review field and laboratory test data on a regular basis. The Engineer will be a registered Professional Engineer in the State of North Carolina and will report to Duke. 3.2.2 Construction Quality Assurance Agency The Construction Quality Assurance Engineer (CQA Engineer) will be experienced in quality assurance testing and monitoring. The CQA Engineer will report to the Engineer and can be one in the same entity. The CQA Engineer serves as the on-site representative of the Owner and is responsible for the field implementation of the approved quality assurance program as follows: ► Monitoring the quality assurance activities of the field testing and documenting conformance with test procedures and the Technical Specifications ► Informing the Engineer of quality assurance activities and non-conformance to the approved CQA program, if any ► Logging of geosynthetic samples and establishing laboratory conformance testing lots ► Observing that sample handling procedures are in accordance with the appropriate guidelines for the testing to be conducted ► Organizing, assigning, and directing engineering technicians; and ► Maintaining an awareness of the overall field testing operations to identify conditions that may jeopardize the quality of testing 3.2.3 Engineering Technicians The engineering technicians (technicians) are responsible for field observations and testing at the direction of the CQA Engineer. Technicians will be assigned to the project as deemed necessary by the CQA Engineer. The CQA Engineer may perform and conduct field observations and testing himself. Technicians will be under the direct supervision of the CQA Engineer. 3.3 Contractor The Contractor is the organization who the Owner has entered into a contractual agreement to complete the project construction. The Contractor and his subcontractors will be responsible for supplying materials, labor, and equipment to complete the scope of work as defined in the contract documents. Typically, the Contractor is responsible for earthworks and general overall construction activities. It is anticipated that the Contractor may subcontract the liner system geosynthetics work to a specialized contractor referred to herein as the Geosynthetic Installer. 3.4 Pre-Construction Meeting A pre-construction meeting shall be conducted prior to the start of construction. The meeting shall include, but not be limited to, discussion of: ► Health and safety ► Construction management organization ► Respective duties of the construction management organization and the Contractors ► Proposed construction schedule ► Testing requirements and procedures; and ► Periodic reporting requirements for test results and construction activities Construction Quality Assurance Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160861 Page 3 of 11 July 17, 2017 3.5 Progress Meetings Progress meetings will be held on a regular basis, and as needed, between the Owner, Engineer, CQA Engineer, Contractor, and representatives of other involved parties.

The Geosynthetic Installer shall perform additional conformance testing on the closest numerical roll on both sides of the failed roll. Sampling and testing of rolls shall continue until acceptable results are established. The CQA Engineer or his representative shall monitor the rolls upon delivery to the site and report observed deviations from the requirements of the Technical Specifications to the Contractor. At the Engineer’s discretion, the CQA Engineer or his representative may sample rolls from each shipment of geomembrane delivered to the site. 6.4 Geomembrane Installation 6.4.1 Meetings A geosynthetics pre-installation meeting will be held prior to beginning geosynthetic installation. At a minimum, the Contractor, Geosynthetic Installer, Engineer or his representative, and a representative of the Owner will be in attendance. The Technical Specifications, quality assurance, and quality control procedures will be reviewed and discussed. 6.4.2 Field Panel Identification The Geosynthetic Installer shall number each panel with an identification code using the format P1, P2, etc. Panels in the field must be numbered in the order in which the panels are laid regardless of pre- construction numbering. The CQA Engineer or his representative will record the location and date of installation of each panel using the identification code. 6.4.3 Field Seaming Field seaming shall be in accordance with the US EPA Technical Guidance document: "The Fabrication of Polyethylene FML Field Seams" EPA/530/SW-89/069 and/or according to the Technical Specifications. Seaming may be extrusion or fusion welding or a combination of these methods. The Engineer reserves the right to reject any proposed seaming method believed to be unacceptable. Additional concepts and requirements of proper field seaming are found in the Technical Specifications. Adjoining liner panels shall be overlapped as recommended by the manufacturer, but not less than 4 inches, by adequately lapping the edges of the sheets. The overlap shall not exceed 6 inches for double- wedge fusion welds. Section 313200 of the Technical Specifications provides more in depth details on the general requirements for liner handling, placement, field seaming, and installation. 6.4.4 Test Seams The Geosynthetic Installer will perform test seams at the beginning of each seaming period, after any interruption in power, after any prolonged idle period during the day, when changes in storing equipment occur, and at the request of the Engineer at any other time during the day. A test seam shall be made for each texture contact type to be seamed by that welder during the working increment (i.e. smooth/smooth for edge seams, texture/texture for butt seams, etc.). The CQA Engineer or his representative may request additional test seams according the Technical Specifications. The test seam should be approximately 6 feet long. The CQA Engineer or his representative will sample the test seam from the center 3 feet of the test sample. The welder, date, time, and equipment, as well as liner temperature, welding temperature, and seaming parameters will be recorded in the Geomembrane Trial Seam Log by the CQA Engineer or his representative for each test seam. A minimum of six specimens from each sample will be tested with three in peel and three in shear. Film Tear Bond (FTB) type failures will be the criterion for qualification of the test seam. Testing will be Construction Quality Assurance Plan Duke Energy – Belews Creek Steam Station Belews Creek Paste Demonstration Belews Creek, North Carolina Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 7810160861 Page 7 of 11 July 17, 2017 performed in the field by the Geosynthetic Installer under full-time observation by the CQA Engineer or his representative. Untested portions of the test seam will be retained by the discretion of the CQA Engineer for the project records and future testing, as required. All test seams must pass the field testing requirements presented in Tables 313200-B of the Technical Specifications before production seaming is performed by the Geosynthetic Installer. 6.4.5 Seam Monitoring During seaming, the CQA Engineer or his representative will observe the seams for the proper preparation, grinding technique, and for evidence of overheating. Where observations indicate that repairs are needed, the method of repair will be evaluated in the field by the CQA Engineer or his representative. The repairs will be logged in the Geomembrane Repair Testing Log CQA Engineer or his representative. At the discretion of the CQA Engineer, coupons may be cut from the end of the extrusion seams and the bottom side of the seam will be observed for visible warping or deformation. The CQA Engineer or his representative will observe the geomembrane during the cooler parts of the day to check for slack. Any areas where "trampolining" occurs will be marked and logged in the Geomembrane Defect Log by the Engineer for repair by the Geosynthetic Installer. All repair locations shall be patched and tested in accordance with Sections 313200 of the Technical Specifications prior to acceptance. All patches shall extend a minimum of 6 inches beyond the repair location. All repairs will be logged in the Geomembrane Repair Testing Log by the CQA Engineer or his representative. 6.4.6 Non-Destructive Testing The Geosynthetic Installer is responsible for non-destructive testing of the entire length of field seams. The testing will be vacuum, air pressure, and/or spark testing as outlined in the Technical Specifications. Non-destructive testing will be monitored by the CQA Engineer or his representative on a full-time basis. 6.4.7 Field Destructive Testing Field destructive testing (FDT) shall be conducted periodically at the discretion of the CQA Engineer or Engineer. The Geosynthetic Installer will obtain 12-inch wide by 42-inch long samples of field seams for testing. The name of the sample (e.g. FDT-1), date, time, equipment, seam number, and seaming parameters will be marked on each sample and recorded by the CQA Engineer or his representative in the Geomembrane Defect Log. Samples retained will be tested in the field by the Geosynthetic Installer. A minimum of three specimens with dimensions of 12 inches wide by 1 inch long from each sample will be tested in peel (ASTM D6392). FTB type failures will be the criterion for qualification of the production seam. 6.4.8 Laboratory Destructive Testing Destructive seam samples will be tested by the CQA Engineer or his representative. Testing frequency is at least one sample per 500 cumulative linear feet of field seam at locations specified by the CQA Engineer or his representative. The name of the sample (e.g. LDT-1), date, time, equipment, seam number, and seaming parameters will be marked on each sample and recorded by the CQA Engineer or his representative in the Geomembrane Defect Log.

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT The primary objective of operations management at the Craig Road Landfill is to dispose of waste material in compliance with permit conditions while operating in a safe manner. Landfilling operations will generally begin in Phase 2 until waste fill heights reach the elevation of current waste fill in Phase 1, after which Phases 1 and 2 will be filled together. During landfill operations the working face in the cell will be limited to as small an area as practical, at the owner’s discretion, with waste in other areas covered with appropriate material. Contact water from the active face will be directed to chimney drains interior to the landfill footprint. Additionally, the landfill has been designed to provide separation of contact water from non-contact water. Contact water is defined as water that contacts waste, including exposed waste within the landfill, operational haul roads surfaced with bottom ash generally located within the limit of waste, and perimeter access roads between the point of landfill egress and the wheel wash. Contact water will be managed as leachate while non-contact water will be managed as stormwater. Contact water and non-contact water separation are further described in subsequent subsections of this plan. 2.1 Waste Handling and Landfill Sequencing 2.1.1 Landfill Capacity The Craig Road Landfill is designed to receive waste at an annual disposal rate of 900,000 cubic yards per year. The resulting landfill life for Phases 2 through 6 is estimated to be 24.62 years following Phase 1 as represented in Table 2.1 below.

Total Landfill Life after Phase 1. 2.1.2 Waste Acceptance, Disposal, and Screening Requirements The Craig Road Landfill is permitted to accept the following on-site waste types: • Coal combustion products (CCPs) (including fly and bottom ash, pyrites and coal mill rejects, and boiler slag); • Gypsum produced during the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process; • Waste water treatment sludge (WWTS) produced during the FGD process; • Waste limestone material, boiler slag, and sand blast material; and • Fixated FGD waste. The landfill owner or operator shall notify the Division within 24 hours of attempted disposal of any wastes the landfill is not permitted to receive. At a minimum, hazardous waste, yard trash, liquid wastes, regulated medical waste, sharps not properly packaged, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) waste as defined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 761, and wastes banned from disposal in North Carolina by General Statute 130A-309.10(f), must not be accepted at the landfill. Asbestos waste will not be disposed of in the landfill. The removal of waste from the landfill is prohibited without owner approval. Waste will be hauled and disposed of by dedicated and consistent operators from the waste source to the landfill. Access to the interim waste storage location(s) (i.e. fly ash silos, gypsum storage areas, etc.), haul routes, and landfill are restricted; therefore, no screening of waste is recommended. 2.1.3 Dust, Litter, Odor, and Vector Control Litter, odors, and vectors are not anticipated to be concerns at the Craig Road Landfill. The waste placed in the landfill does not attract vectors, and wind blown material is not anticipated to be a problem. Odors are typically not a problem at CCP waste landfills. Dust control is addressed in the Dust Control Plan included as Appendix I. Generally, dust control measures will be implemented when necessary, and will include at a minimum watering of dusty roads and exposed work areas. Other measures include physical measures such as fencing and/or berms, temporary covers like tarps, spraying dust suppressants, and modifying the active work area. Additionally, interim cover will be seeded within 7 days in accordance with Erosion and Sediment Control requirements. Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 7 2.1.4 Fire Control No open burning shall be permitted at the Craig Road Landfill. There are no explosive gas concerns with gypsum, ash waste, or mill rejects; therefore, the threat of fire is considered to be minimal. Although it is unlikely, if a fire occurs at the landfill, the Station Control Room (phone number: 336-445-0521) shall be notified, and equipment and stockpiled soil shall be provided to control accidental fires. BCSS will notify the local fire department, which will be immediately dispatched to assist with fire control. Any fire that occurs at the landfill shall be reported to the Division within 24 hours and a written notification will be submitted within 15 days by the Station Sponsor for Landfill Operations. 2.1.5 Landfill Sequencing The Craig Road Landfill will be developed in sequence from Phase 1 through Phase 6. Each phase has approximately five years of life; however, more than one phase may be operational at a time. The phases may also be subdivided into cells which could be constructed sequentially or at the same time. For example, Phase 1 was subdivided into three cells. One possible landfill sequencing concept for Phase 1 and 2 operations is illustrated in the figures in Appendix II. The landfill sequencing figures shown in Appendix II illustrate a possible sequence of operations. The actual filling sequence, fill heights, and grades may be modified at the Owner’s discretion. 2.1.6 Waste Placement Waste generated at the BCSS is transported from the interim waste storage areas to the landfill by using dump trucks. Upon reaching the active face of the landfill, the waste is dumped from the trucks on to the active face of the landfill. After the waste is dumped, the dump trucks exit the landfill and pass through a wheel wash system before returning to the interim waste storage areas. The interim waste storage areas, haul roads, and landfill are located within the secured BCSS facility. Wastewater treatment sludge will be spread in 6-inch lifts in the center of the operational area. No wastewater treatment sludge shall be placed within 10 feet of the exterior slope. Gypsum waste generally has a finer particle gradation than fly ash waste. If gypsum is being placed in an area where protective cover is present, additional filtering of the gypsum waste will be achieved by placing a minimum 1-foot thick lift of fly ash waste over the protective cover prior to placing gypsum waste. Fixated FGD waste generally consists of a mixture of FGD, CCP, and process water materials that are mixed at a target ratio based on testing with site-specific materials. Prior to implementing the fixated FGD waste process, Duke Energy will notify the Division. A pilot implementation study and testing program using site-specific materials and proposed waste placement methods will be conducted to evaluate the appropriate mixture ratio and engineering properties of the fixated FGD waste material. The owner Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 8 or owner’s representative will submit a final waste placement process to the Division for approval. The landfill surface shall be graded to promote surface water drainage to the contact water collection system. No waste shall be placed in standing water. 2.1.7 Compaction Requirements and Testing After the waste is dumped from the trucks and placed on the active face, the waste will be placed in consecutive, approximate 1-foot thick lifts that do not exceed a 10-foot operational lift. Prior to compaction of an existing lift, the existing and new material should be adequately blended. Placement criteria for fixated sludge is not currently addressed but will be evaluated during the pilot implementation study and testing program. In-Place Density and Moisture Content Testing In-place density and moisture content testing shall be performed at a minimum frequency of one test per 8,000 cubic yards (or one test per 216,000 square feet per 12-inch thick lift). Waste shall be compacted to a minimum 95 percent of its Standard Proctor (ASTM D 698) maximum dry density. Compacted moisture content shall be within 5 percent of the material’s optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D 698. If field density tests indicate that the relative compaction or moisture content requirements are not met, the material shall be moisture conditioned and/or re-worked and re-tested until the compaction density and moisture requirements are met. The field density testing report should document any failing tests and re-work required to meet testing requirements. In-place density tests shall be performed using the Sand Cone Method (ASTM D 1556), Drive-Cylinder Method (ASTM D 2937), or Nuclear Method (ASTM D 6938). If the nuclear method is selected, a minimum of one comparison density test using the Sand Cone or Drive Cylinder method shall be performed for every five nuclear density tests, and correlations between the test methods shall be developed and reviewed by the Engineer. A sample of ash material shall be collected from each density test location and placed in a sealed container for subsequent field and laboratory moisture testing. A family of Proctor curves shall be developed for the on-site ash material as standard Proctor moisture-density tests are performed as a reference for the field density testing. A minimum of one (1) one-point field Proctor test shall be performed for each day of field density testing. Additional one-point field Proctors shall be performed if the material changes. A material change is defined when the maximum dry density of the referenced standard Proctor test varies by more than 2 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). If the estimated standard Proctor maximum dry density based on the results of one-point Proctor testing indicates that the maximum dry density varies by more than 5 pcf from the nearest representative standard Proctor moisture-density relationship, an additional bulk sample of ash material shall be obtained and standard Proctor testing shall be performed for the sample as a reference for the field density testing. Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 9 Field moisture content testing shall be performed for each density test using the Direct Heating Method (ASTM D 4959). The Nuclear Method (ASTM D 6938) shall not be used for moisture content testing on the ash material. Comparison laboratory moisture content testing shall be performed using the Oven Method (ASTM D 2216), at an oven temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. The laboratory moisture content shall control in the event of a discrepancy between laboratory moisture content and in-place moisture content. Laboratory Testing Laboratory moisture content testing shall be performed in conjunction with the field density testing as described above. The laboratory moisture content testing shall be performed using the Oven Method (ASTM D 2216), at an oven temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Standard Proctor moisture-density relationship (ASTM D 698) testing shall be performed at a minimum frequency of one test for every 50,000 cubic yards of material placed. As previously mentioned, additional standard Proctor samples shall be obtained and tested if one-point Proctor testing indicates that the estimated maximum dry density of the material varies by more than 5 pcf from the nearest representative standard Proctor moisture-density relationship as determined by the one-point Proctor method. 2.1.8 Cover Requirements 2.1.8.1 Operational Cover Operational soil cover should be applied, as needed, for dust control and stormwater management. If needed, operational soil cover should be applied at a thickness suited to its purpose. For example, operational soil cover may be applied thinner to provide dust control and it may be applied thicker to tolerate erosion. Operational covers to provide dust control shall be as described in the Dust Control Plan in Appendix I. Downdrains, tack-on benches, and chimney drains will be installed and extended as appropriate. Soil diversion berms will be used to direct water as appropriate. Waste will be covered with interim and final cover as applicable, in accordance with the following sections in this plan. Operational soil cover is not required, provided the Dust Control Plan included as Appendix I is followed. 2.1.8.2 Interim Cover A 12-inch thick interim cover layer shall be placed on exterior slopes and areas where final grades have been reached. Interim cover will be seeded within 7 days in accordance with Erosion and Sediment Control requirements. Vegetation shall be removed and the interim cover soil shall be scarified or removed prior to placing any overlying waste. For areas where waste placement will be inactive for 12 months or more, interim soil cover is not required, provided the Dust Control Plan included as Appendix I is followed. Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 10 2.1.8.3 Final Cover The final cover system for the Craig Road Landfill will be completed within 180 days following the beginning of closure activities unless otherwise approved by the Division. The final cover will consist of (from the bottom up) interim cover (on top of the waste), 40-mil thick double-sided textured linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) geomembrane, a geocomposite drainage layer, 18-inch thick compacted soil cover, and 6- inch thick vegetative cover. Should grading be required prior to closure, the final cover system (beginning with LLDPE geomembrane) may be installed directly on waste. The vegetative layer will consist of on-site soil suitable for maintaining grass cover and controlling erosion. Alternatively, the geosynthetic components may consist of a 50-mil LLDPE structured geomembrane and an 8 oz/sy non-woven geotextile. Surface water that percolates through the vegetative layer and 18-inch thick compacted soil layer will be collected by the geocomposite drainage layer or the structured geomembrane alternative. The cover system stormwater management structures will collect both infiltration and surface water runoff. The final cover will be vegetated with native grasses within six months following closure. Please refer to the Closure/Post-Closure Plan for final cover specifications and maintenance and operations requirements (Appendix III). 2.2 Leachate and Contact Water Management As previously described, the landfill has been designed to provide separation of contact water from non-contact water. Contact water will be treated as leachate; however, the method of conveyance varies depending on the contributing source of the contact water. Generally, leachate can be described as liquid which has percolated through the waste mass and is collected by the geocomposite drainage layer along the bottom of the landfill. Contact water can be described as being generated from the following sources: • Exposed waste within the landfill (Source 1); • Slope access roads surfaced with bottom ash (Source 2); and • Perimeter access roads between the point of landfill egress and the wheel wash (Source 3). 2.2.1 Contact Water Source 1 Contact water source 1 consists of water which has contacted exposed waste within the landfill. Exposed waste within the landfill will be graded to drain towards vertical chimney drains which will then convey the contact water into the leachate collection system. Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 11 2.2.2 Contact Water Source 2 Contact water source 2 consists of water which has contacted the slope access roads. Slope access roads provide access from the perimeter access road to the active landfill face. The slope access roads will be used as haul roads during operations and will be located at the final buildout slope access road locations. During operations, slope access roads may be surfaced with CCP’s; therefore, water runoff from the slope access roads will be treated as contact water. The slope access road which terminates at the perimeter access road on the west side of the landfill will convey contact water to the Phase 2 contact water basin (CWB-3) via a drop inlet and culvert. The slope access roads which terminate at the perimeter access road on the east side of the landfill will convey contact water to contact water conveyance zones. Tack-on benches will extend parallel to the slope access road ditches to intercept non-contact water from up-gradient slopes. Contact water conveyance zones will collect water in the ditches adjacent to the slope access roads. The contact water will pass through high-flow woven geotextile baffle screens before being discharged into the leachate collection system. 2.2.3 Contact Water Source 3 Contact water source 3 consists of water which has contacted perimeter access roads between the point of landfill egress and the wheel wash. This definition of contact water addresses the potential for waste to be tracked onto perimeter access roads as trucks leave the active face of the landfill between the point of egress and the wheel wash located on the west side of Phase 2. The perimeter access roads between the point of landfill egress and the wheel wash will be graded to drain to contact water channels located along the edge of the road, which in turn drain to contact water basins. 2.3 Leachate Collection System (LCS) The leachate collection system has been designed to meet the performance criteria of providing less than 1 foot of leachate head on the liner system under normal operating conditions and conveying contact water run-off generated by the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. The leachate collection system generally consists of the following components: • Leachate collection system pipes within the landfill; • Sumps at the low points of each phase of the landfill; • Force main and appurtenant structures (pumps, valves, etc.); • Contact water basins; and • A lift station that conveys leachate into the Belews Creek wastewater treatment system. Each landfill cell is equipped with leachate collection system (LCS) pipes located directly above the geocomposite drainage layer that collect infiltration, chimney drain flows, and Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 12 contact water conveyance zone flows. The LCS pipes convey leachate and contact stormwater flows by gravity to collection sumps for removal. Clean-outs have been provided at the ends of the leachate header pipes in the event that the leachate collection and removal pipes become clogged. Sumps are located at the low point of the landfill cells. Phase 1 has two sumps that drain by gravity to the east leachate pond (CWB-1) and the west leachate pond (CWB-2). Phases 2 through 6 will have one sump each, which will convey leachate to the leachate force main via sideslope risers and pumps. Craig Road Landfill was designed with four leachate force mains. One leachate force main will connect the east leachate pond (CWB-1) and the west leachate pond (CWB-2) with the lift station and each other. The second leachate force main will connect Phase 2 with the Phase 2 Contact Water Basin (CWB-3). The third leachate force main will connect Phases 3 through 6 with CWB-3. The fourth leachate force main will connect CWB-3 with the lift station. Contact water basins store leachate and contact water until it can be discharged to the lift station via the leachate force mains as previously described. The east and west leachate ponds (CWB-1 and CWB-2) collect and store leachate generated from the Phase 1 footprint. The Phase 2 Contact Water Basin (CWB-3) will collect and store leachate and contact water generated from Phases 2 through 6. Additional contact water basins will be located along the west side of future phases to store contact water generated along perimeter access roads (contact water source 3 as previously described). The additional contact water basins will pump into the force main which in turn discharges to CWB-3. The lift station is located to the south of the east leachate pond (CWB-1), and will collect leachate and contact water generated at the Craig Road Landfill facility. The lift station pumps contact water into a consolidated sump, and then into the active ash basin. 2.3.1 LCS Maintenance The maintenance of the leachate management system's physical facilities (consisting of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping and the contact water basins) and records will be performed by or under the direct supervision of the Owner. Visual observations of the LCS system performance will be made monthly to verify that the LCS is performing properly. Clean-out pipes are located on the LCS leachate lateral and header pipes. 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 be remote-camera monitored if cleaning indicates a blockage in the leachate collection system pipes. The frequency of clean-out and camera inspections may be modified based on consecutive inspection results and observed operating conditions. Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 13 2.3.2 LCS Record Keeping and Sampling Records will be maintained documenting the leachate line maintenance. A composite sample of untreated leachate will be sampled and analyzed at least semi-annually. The composite sample will be collected from the consolidated sump and analyzed for the same constituents in the approved monitoring plan. Results will be submitted to the Section concurrent with groundwater test results. 2.3.3 Contingency Plan The pumps in the contact water basins, leachate ponds, and lift station will be provided with water level controls in order to maintain sufficient storage capacity within the basins. A factor of safety is available in the leachate storage capacity in the event of storm surges. In emergencies, leachate can be transferred between CWB-1 and CWB-2 storage basins, and backup generators are in place to provide emergency power. 2.4 Stormwater Collection Conveyance Stormwater that does not come in contact with waste will be treated as non-contact water. Non-contact water will be managed separately from contact water and may be used for dust control or other operational purposes. The stormwater collection system has been designed to pass the 25-year, 24-hour storm event, and generally consists of the following components: • Tack-on benches; • Downdrains; • Perimeter ditches; and • Non-contact water basins. Interim cover will be placed over waste at the exterior side slopes. Tack-on benches will be placed to convey non-contact surface water from the exterior side slopes to downdrains. The tack-on benches and downdrains will be constructed and extended as operations progress. The downdrains discharge to perimeter ditches, which in turn discharge to non-contact water basins. A non-contact water basin (NCWB-1) is located on the north side of Phase 1. Additional non-contact water basins will be constructed along the west and southeast portions of the landfill during landfill expansion. Stormwater collection and conveyance measures will be inspected every 7 days and within 24 hours of rainfall events of 0.5 inches or greater, and maintained such that necessary repairs can be made as early as practical. 2.4.1 Stormwater Discharge The stormwater system at the landfill was designed to assist in prevention of the discharge of pollutants. Landfill operation shall not cause a discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States, including wetlands, that violates any requirement of the Clean Water Act, including, but not limited to NPDES requirements, pursuant to Section 402. In addition, under the requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 14 discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the state that would be in violation of the requirements shall not be allowed by landfill operations. Operations at the landfill shall not cause the discharge of a non-point source of pollution to waters of the United States, including wetlands, that violates any requirement of an area-wide or statewide water quality management plan that has been approved under Section 208 or 319 of the Clean Water Act, as amended. The Craig Road Landfill is located adjacent to Belews Lake. 2.5 Contact and Non-Contact Water Basin Maintenance Requirements All stormwater features (i.e., diversion ditches, berms, risers, discharge pipes, contact water conveyance zones, chimney drains, etc.) will be inspected every 7 days and within 24 hours of rainfall events of 0.5 inches or greater, and documented monthly for signs of damage, settlement, clogging, silt buildup, or washouts. If necessary, repairs to stormwater control features will be made as early as practical. 2.6 Groundwater Monitoring Well Access Requirements Groundwater monitoring wells are located around the landfill perimeter. A readily accessible, unobstructed path shall be maintained so that monitoring wells may be accessed using four-wheel drive vehicles. Care must be taken around the wells to prevent any damage to the wells. 2.7 Landfill Gas Management Because of the nature of the waste to be placed in the Craig Road Landfill, the Owner does not anticipate that methane or hydrogen sulfide gas will be generated or that odor will be an issue during operations. Therefore, landfill gas monitoring and management is not proposed. 3. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL Erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) during landfill operations will consist of monitoring and repairing E&SC stormwater conveyance features and surface erosion. 3.1 E&SC Measures Monitoring and Maintenance Erosion control principles include: • Disturbing as little area as practical at any one time for landfilling operations. • Seeding/mulching of disturbed areas commencing as soon as practically possible. Employing erosion control matting or seeding and mulch on steep slopes and other erosion prone areas. • Use of earthen berms, hay bales, wattles, silt fences, riprap, or equivalent devices downgradient of disturbed areas, stockpiles, drainage pipe inlets and outlets, and at intervals along grassed waterways, until such time as permanent vegetation is established. • Placement of riprap at the inlets and outlets of stormwater piping. Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 15 Erosion and sedimentation control structures include stormwater best management practice (BMP) systems, sediment basins, ash runoff basins, contact water conveyance zones, and channels. Stormwater BMP’s, sediment basins, and ash runoff basins shall be inspected every 7 days and within 24 hours of rainfall events of 0.5 inches or greater. Sediment shall be removed from each structure when sediment accumulates to one half of the design depth. Sediment removal shall bring BMP’s to their original design depth. The BMP’s, sediment basins, embankments, spillways and outlets shall also be observed for erosion damage. Necessary repairs shall be made immediately. Trash or debris within the riser structures or outfalls shall be removed. Channels shall be observed for damage every 7 days and within 24 hours or rainfall events of 0.5 inches or greater. Riprap-lined channels and outlet protection aprons used to prevent damage to channel vegetation shall be observed for washouts. Riprap shall be added to these areas, as needed, to maintain the integrity of the structure. Embankment slopes shall be inspected for erosion every 7 days and within 24 hours or rainfall events of 0.5 inches or greater. The embankment slopes shall be mowed at least four times a year. The embankment slopes shall be refertilized in the second year unless vegetation growth is fully adequate. Damaged areas shall be reseeded, fertilized and mulched immediately. Seeding, fertilizing, and mulching shall be in accordance with the North Carolina Erosion and Sedimentation Control Guidelines and in accordance with the active Erosion and Sediment Control Permit. Ground stabilization shall be performed within 7 calendar days on perimeter areas and slopes greater than 3H:1V. Ground stabilization shall be performed within 14 calendar days in other areas. Seedbed preparation, seeding, soil amendments, and mulching for the establishment of vegetative ground cover will be applied in accordance with North Carolina Erosion and Sedimentation Control Guidelines. 3.2 Surface Erosion Monitoring Adequate erosion control measures shall be established to help prevent sediment from leaving the site. Channels will be observed once every seven days and within 24 hours after any rainfall event of 0.5 inches or greater. Slopes will be periodically checked for erosion and vegetative quality, fertilized, and mowed. A slope or portion thereof shall be identified as needing maintenance if it meets any one of the following conditions: • Exposed waste on exterior slopes; • Areas of cracking, sliding, or sloughing; or • Areas of seepage. Slopes identified as needing maintenance shall be repaired as soon as practical and as appropriate to correct deficiencies. Repair activities may include re-dressing the slope, filling in low areas, and/or seeding. Operations Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill December 18, 2013 16 4. VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Within six months after final termination of disposal operations at the site, the area shall be stabilized with vegetation as required by design drawings and Closure/Post-Closure Plan. Temporary seeding will be applied, as required. Temporary erosion control measures may be required until permanent cover is established. Mulching, until a vegetative cover is established, can stabilize areas where final grades have been reached. Soil mulching can be achieved using wood chips, straw, hay, asphalt emulsion, jute matting, and synthetic fibers. Mulches allow for greater water retention; reduce the amount of runoff; retain seeds, fertilizer, and lime in place; and improve soil moisture and temperature conditions.

LANDFILL CLOSURE The Craig Road Landfill will be closed in accordance with the design drawings and Closure/Post-Closure Plan. The Closure/Post-Closure Plan outlines the sequence for closing the landfill and the post-closure maintenance activities. Closure is designed to minimize the need for long-term maintenance and to control the post-closure release of contaminants. Closure activities may be revised as appropriate for materials, specifications, technology advancements, or changes in regulations at the time the landfill is closed or in post-closure. In general, the landfill development is designed so that final cover can be established as soon as possible.

INTRODUCTION AND SITE DESCRIPTION This Dust Control Plan is for the Craig Road Landfill at Duke Energy’s Belews Creek Steam Station. This Plan provides dust control methods for managing dust emissions at the landfill. This Plan also provides a monitoring program and corrective action response procedure to help contain coal combustion products (CCP’s) on site and to prevent dust nuisances to employees and the public. The monitoring program will aid Duke Energy and the landfill operator in evaluating the dust control methods, or combination of dust control methods, that prove effective for the site specific conditions. This Dust Control Plan addresses operations of Phases 1 and 2 of the Craig Road Landfill. Phase 1 of the landfill has an approximate 31-acre footprint and Phase 2 of the landfill has an approximate 35-acre footprint. The Craig Road Landfill is used for CCP management. CCP’s primarily consist of fly ash, bottom ash, pyrites and coal mill rejects, boiler slag, gypsum, wastewater treatment sludge, waste limestone material, sand blast material, and coal waste. This Plan is included as an Appendix to the approved landfill Operations Plan. Refer to the Operations Plan for a description of revisions. 2. DUST CONTROL METHODS The primary potential sources of dust emissions at the landfill are at the top deck area and at the active area of waste placement. These areas are at a higher risk for producing dust due to vehicular and equipment traffic and earthworks-like construction. Exterior landfill slopes are less of a dust control concern, as they have intermediate or operational soil covers which are vegetated as required in the Operations Plan. Dust emissions from the landfill can be controlled through a variety of dust control methods. Possible dust control methods are identified herein. Dust control methods may be characterized as products and/or applications, structural wind breaks and/or covers, and operational methods. Dust control methods for the landfill area include: • Watering; • Establishing vegetative cover; • Mulching; • Structural controls consisting of: o Wind breaks (i.e. fencing and/or berms); and o Temporary coverings (i.e. tarps); Dust Control Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill November 13, 2013 2 • Spray applied dust suppressants consisting of, and not limited to: o Anionic asphalt emulsion; o Latex emulsion; o Resin in water; o Polymer based emulsion; and o Mineral mortar coatings (i.e. posi-shell); • Calcium chloride; • Soil stabilizers (i.e. soil cements); • Operational soil cover; • Modifying the active working area; and • Modifying operations during dry and windy conditions. The operator may use, and is not limited to, combinations of these dust control methods or any method that maintains safety and is technically sound to control dust for the specific site conditions. If the operator intends to use a dust control method not presented above, the proposed dust control method will be evaluated on a case by case basis to assess the effectiveness with specific site conditions. For the purposes of this Plan, operational soil cover will be defined as soil material applied at a suitable thickness to provide dust control. The effectiveness of the dust control methods implemented should be evaluated through a dust monitoring program as described in Section 3. Operational equipment is generally anticipated to include dump trucks, vibratory smooth drum rollers, sheepsfoot compactors, bulldozers, water trucks, spray trailers, track hoes, and service trucks. Operational equipment will be used to construct, install, apply, and/or repair dust control methods. The operator will make provisions to alleviate any on-site issues that arise when primary equipment is being maintained or is inoperable. Belews Creek Steam Station contains multiple landfill facilities; the landfill operator will make provisions to have the necessary equipment to control multiple fugitive CCP dusting emission events. 3. MONITORING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION RESPONSE This section describes a dust monitoring program and suggests corrective action responses should fugitive emissions be observed. 3.1 Monitoring During landfill operations, a dust monitoring program will be implemented to evaluate the dust control measure performance and observe the areas for dust emissions. The dust monitoring program consists of performing visual observations of dust prone areas, dust control measures, and monitoring existing and forecasted weather conditions. Dust emissions can occur under many weather conditions. For the purposes of this Plan, dust emissions are characterized as fugitive emissions, where CCP dust is located outside the limits of the landfill waste. This is most likely to occur during windy, dry, and hot weather conditions. Therefore, the operator will monitor both existing and forecasted Dust Control Plan S&ME No. 1356-10-041 Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station Craig Road Landfill November 13, 2013 3 weather conditions and use dust control measures suited to the weather conditions. The dust control measures shall be implemented prior to the forecasted weather conditions. Equipment operators shall continuously observe the active face and other areas within the landfill limit for dust emissions. In addition, preventative dust control measures should be observed and documented at least twice daily (morning and afternoon) when the landfill is in operation to evaluate the dust control measure performance. Additional observations may be necessary as site and weather conditions dictate. Observations will be documented on the attached “Monitoring Worksheet,” online database/worksheet, etc. Due to the continual maintenance necessary on moisture conditioned and spray-applied areas, the operator shall pay particular attention to these areas. Structural controls shall be observed to monitor that they are achieving their intended purpose. Observations in the landfill area may be made with reference to the Operations Grid shown in the attached Figure 1. Monitoring will be conducted during times when the landfill is in operations. The operator shall continue to provide necessary dust control measures during periods when operations are inactive (i.e. outages, weekends, and holidays). Operators are to establish appropriate measures so that dust emissions are not reasonably likely to occur during inactive operations periods when monitoring is not being conducted. 3.2 Corrective Action If fugitive dust emissions are observed and observations indicate that dust control measures are not achieving their intended purpose, then appropriate corrective actions will be taken. Dust control measures should be reapplied, repaired, or added, as necessary, to control dust emissions. The operator will construct, install, apply, and/or repair dust control measures prior to the end of the work day to control dust emissions during non-operating hours. The operator will implement dust control measures as preventative controls rather than in response to fugitive dust emissions.
