ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The facility is a lined industrial landfill permitted to accept coal combustion by-product (CCB) predominately fly
ash, bottom ash, gypsum, and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) residue from Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy
Carolinas power generating facilities. It is also permitted to receive other residues as stated in the facility operations
plan section 2.1.2.

1. The facility is permitted to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The facility is in operation on an as
needed basis. Operations occur infrequently outside of daylight hours.

2. The facility is secured by a locked gate. Personnel are on site during operating hours. The facility has all
required information on signs. The facility permit, site plan, and operations plan were discussed during
the inspection.

3. Facility access roads are of all-weather construction and are well maintained. Water trucks are utilized to
control road dust, as needed. Water trucks were operating at the time of the inspection in accordance with
the approved Dust Control Plan but significant rain (in excess of 2 inches) had occurred the prior day.
Ponded water was observed around the chimney drains from the rain.

4. No windblown dust from landfill operations or roadways was noted during the inspection. Weather
conditions during the inspection were cool and overcast.

5. Operational cover is being maintained as approved in the facility Operations Plan (Section 2.1.8.1 and
Appendix I, Dust Control Plan). Minimal soil is utilized for cover; landfilled materials are moistened and
allowed to crust over to prevent windblown material. Additionally, Gorilla-Snot is used when needed to
aid in the process of crusting. The Steam Station was in operation (Units 1 and 2 online) at the time of
the site visit. No ash was being placed in the working face during the visit for safety reasons because of
the large group of people on the tour.

Active disposal area – Phase 6
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
