eleven (11) cells with a total disposal capacity of approximately 11.9 million cubic yards.
Duke Energy submitted a new permit application on August 7, 2015. The application requested
a permit to construct for Phases 1 through 3 and permit to operate for Phases 1 through 3, as each
unit is completed and approved by the Solid Waste Section. The Division of Waste Management
(Division) 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.

The permit is divided into two parts, the Permit to Construct and the Permit to Operate. The

operation, and monitoring of the landfills. The Permit to Operate will be issued for a ten (10)
year increment of operation. Specific conditions are included for the implementation, operation,
and assessment of the groundwater Corrective Action Plan and post-closure care associated with
