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

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

2. The Permit and Operations Plan are maintained on-site as required and were reviewed during the inspection. The
permit shall expire March 7, 2026. No later than September 7, 2025, the owner or operator must submit a request to
the Section for permit review.

3. The facility is operated by Charah, Inc. which is responsible for hauling materials to the landfill, daily operations of
the landfill, and conducting other associated activities.

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

5. Weekly logs of onsite inspections are maintained documenting monitoring and maintenance of storm water
conveyance systems, erosion and sedimentation controls, and status/confirmation of repairs.

6. Leachate is sampled semiannually from dedicated sample ports located on the leachate collection system. Access to
the sampling ports for Cell 1 and Cell 2 and the areas surrounding the ports were well maintained. Semi-annual
leachate sampling records were reviewed during the inspection. The sampling was conducted 8/3/16 and 2/20/17 as
required.

7. Leachate line cleaning was accomplished on 2/14/17; two areas were identified for follow up cleaning (the follow-
up was already scheduled to occur during July 2017). The Operations Plan states that” LCS pipes will be cleaned
out by the use of a clean-out snake or high-pressure water flushing at least once a year, and the LCS piping will
remote-camera monitored if cleaning indicates a blockage in the leachate collection system pipes.”

8. Leak detection records were reviewed during the inspection. Leachate collection system and detection system flow
readings were conducted monthly as required. No leakage rate exceedances were documented in the records
reviewed. Once the landfill reaches 40 feet the flow readings will be conducted quarterly.

9. Dust Control records were reviewed during the inspection. The records were complete and well documented.

10. NPDES permit was issued on 9/9/2016 and expires 9/30, 2021. Copies of the permit are on site and available to
employees.
The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance
with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an
administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit,
or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to
enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any
such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.

landfill is in operation. Training records were documented and maintained on-site. The following Charah
personnel are NC Certified Landfill Managers:

Ben Hildebran, 15-02M00151, expires 12/3/18

14. The total tonnage placed in the landfill from 1/1/17 to 7/12/17 was 201,343.71 tons.

15. No monitoring wells are required for the landfill because it is double lined with a leak control system and leak
detection system. Leachate ports were well maintained at the time of the inspection. One of the vaults had filled
with storm water because of rains the night before; facility staff began storm water removal during the inspection.

16. Landfill Operations have resumed as of October 2015 and waste is currently being placed in Phase 1, Cells 1 and 2.
Phase 1, Cells 3 and 4 are under construction with completion scheduled for December 2017. Between 30 and 80
truckloads per day are being placed in the active cells or between 1,500 and 2,000 tons per day.

17. The access road to the site was of all-weather construction and maintained in good condition. A truck wash station
is located adjacent to the haul road to clean trucks exiting the site.

18. Edge-of-waste markers delineating the permitted disposal area were visible and being maintained. The markers are
offset from the edge of the landfill liner.

19. There was no water observed ponded over waste. Chimney drains convey the flow of leachate to the leachate control
system.

20. Dust was being well controlled at the time of the inspection.

21. Exterior landfill slopes were vegetated. There was no erosion observed on exterior landfill slopes. Reseeding is
done as needed.
