Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC owns and operates the Dan River Steam Station (Facility), electrical power
generating facility, located (911 address) at 900 South Edgewood Road, Eden, N.C. and includes a total area of
approximately 380 acres.

Industrial landfill Permit Number 7906-INDUS-2016 is a new landfill permit that once completed will receive
industrial solid wastes from Duke Energy Corporation as noted; coal combustion residuals (CCRs) (including
fly and bottom ash, pyrites and coal mill rejects) generated by or at any Duke Energy Corporation facility;
wastewater treatment sludge generated at Dan River Steam Station; vacuum truck waste generated at Dan River
Steam Station; waste soils (i.e. from ash removal activities or soil that has contacted petroleum); and small
quantities of inert debris from CCR unit decommissioning activities. The industrial landfill covers
approximately 23.3 acres and will be permitted to include three (3) cells with a total disposal capacity of
approximately 2.1 million cubic yards.

Duke Energy submitted a new permit application on Aug. 31, 2015. The application requested a permit to
construct for Cells 1 through 3 and permit to operate for Cells 1 through 3, as each unit is completed and
approved by the Solid Waste Section. The Division of Waste Management has determined that the application
satisfied the requirements of North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 13B .0503 through .0505. A draft
permit has been prepared for public review.
