January 16, 2026 North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section 2090 U.S. Highway 70 Swannanoa, NC 28778 Attn: Ms. Sarah Moutos (submitted electronically) Re: Environmental Controls Monitoring Semi -Annual Report South Starter Landfill Permit No.: 3620-INDUS-2022 Allen Steam Station Gaston County, North Carolina Dear Ms. Moutos: 525 S. Tryon St. Mail Code: DEP-36A Charlotte NC, 28202 In accordance with the Environmental Control Monitoring Plan (ECMP) Revision 2, Duke Energy is providing the results of the 2025 second semi-annual leachate, construction drain, and surface water sampling and leak detection system (LDS) monitoring for the Allen Steam Station South Starter Landfill (SSLF) (Permit No.: 3620-INDUS-2022), located near Belmont, in Gaston County, North Carolina. This is the initial Environmental Controls Monitoring Report (ECMR) prepared for the SSLF since it became operational at the end of July 2025. Therefore, this SSLF ECMR reporting period spans just two months. On August 27, 2025, samples were collected from the SSLF leachate collection system (LCS) and construction drain. No sample was able to be collected from the surface water location since it was dry. The samples were collected by Duke Energy personnel and analyzed by the Duke Energy Analytical Laboratory. A summary of monitoring results can be found in the attached ECMR. The parameters tested are not bound by state groundwater or surface water standards. All laboratory analytical and field results are provided in the appendices of the Report. The attached ECMR narrative and Drawing 2 have been updated to reflect changes to the leachate management process and leachate force main alignment per the approved landfill leachate management reroute that was completed in July 2025. Duke Energy appreciates the extension granted by the Section for this ECMR submittal to allow additional time to incorporate this change. Allen Steam Station's SSLF is sampled semi-annually, typically during the months of March and September. The next landfill sampling event is scheduled for March 2026 with documentation to follow. www.duke-energy.com Page 1 of 2 If you need additional information regarding this submittal do not hesitate to email or call me at Courtney.Murphy@duke-energy.com or (704) 382-7171.

The monitoring results in this report are for the period of July 2025 through October 2025. The Environmental Controls Monitoring Plan (ECMP) establishes locations and procedures for monitoring the early detection of solid waste or leachate potentially released to the environment from the SSLF. The Environmental Control Monitoring Plan, Revision 2 (ECMP, Revision 2; SynTerra, 2025) was submitted to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Waste Management (DWM) on May 23, 2025, and approved by the NCDEQ DWM on June 16, 2025. The August 2025 monitoring event (the first since the SSLF began operation) and this report comply with the ECMP, Revision 2 (SynTerra, 2025). The landfill is designed and constructed in accordance with North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 130A-295.4 for Combustion Products Landfills as discussed in the ECMP, Revision 2 (SynTerra, 2025). The procedures established in the ECMP and the associated monitoring documented in this report are intended to satisfy the water quality monitoring plan required by North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), Title 15A, Subchapter 13B .0504(c)(8)(D) in accordance with G.S. 130A-295.4(c). 1.1 Site Description A summarized description of the SSLF is provided below. A more detailed description of the SSLF and the Site is presented in the ECMP, Revision 2 (SynTerra, 2025). The Station is no longer used for power generation and is now in the process of being decommissioned. The SSLF [in accordance with G.S. 130A-295.4(b)] is constructed with a base liner system that includes a primary and secondary geomembrane liner. The primary and secondary liners are separated by a geocomposite drainage layer to create a leak detection layer. The geocomposite provides enough capacity to convey liquid that enters the leak detection layer to a sump area (lowest elevation in an area of the liner system) where it is collected for removal by mechanical pumping. Removal of liquid from the leak detection layer in addition to the combination of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) and compacted soil liner beneath the secondary liner reduces the potential for liquid to enter the environment. The quantity of liquid removed from the leak detection layer is measured and recorded. 1.1.1 South Starter Landfill The approximately 22-acre SSLF is located primarily south of the Active Ash Basin (AAB) but partially overlaps the southeast portion of the AAB (Drawing 1). The SSLF is bound by the AAB to the north, upland areas to the south and west, and lowland areas and the Catawba River (Lake Wylie) to the east (Drawing 2). Most of the waste intended for placement throughout the life of the landfill consists of coal combustion residuals (CCR), predominantly fly ash and bottom ash. The approved waste streams are in the Operations Plan — Revision 1, Allen Steam Station South Starter Landfill Permit No. 3620-INDUS) (Operations Plan; AECOM, 2025). Leachate from the SSLF is primarily conveyed via forcemain to the on -Site wastewater treatment system (WWTS), however a secondary conveyance to the Leachate Basin via forcemain is available for temporary storage when the WWTS is off-line. Leachate conveyance from the Leachate Basin is described in Section 1.1.2. Page 1 Environmental Controls Monitoring Semiannual Report July 2025 through August 2025 South Starter Landfill (Permit No. 3620-INDUS) The SSLF received a Permit to Operate on July 22, 2025, and began receiving CCR on July 30, 2025. 1.1.2 Leachate Basin The approximately 3-acre Leachate Basin is located within the northwestern portion of the AAB and is bounded by the Retired Ash Basin (RAB) to the north, AAB to the east and south, and upland areas to the west (Drawings 1 and 2). Leachate Basin monitoring is included in a separate environmental controls monitoring report. Leachate from the Leachate Basin is pumped via force main to the on -Site WWTS where it is comingled with other wastewaters for treatment. Flows from the on -Site WWTS are discharged to the Catawba River (Lake Wylie) through Outfall 002 in accordance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit NC0004979 (Drawing 2). In a letter dated October 2, 2024, the NCDEQ granted interim approval for operation of a temporary pumping system and to place CCR as interim cover in the Leachate Basin. Final approval of Leachate Basin operation was granted on November 14, 2023, after the permanent pumping system was in place and upon receipt of the NCDEQ's approval of the Leachate Basin Construction Certification Report, Volumes 1 through 3 (FID 1776828, 1818490, and 1820954), which contained construction quality assurance information. The Leachate Basin began operating on November 14, 2023, receiving leachate from the North Starter Landfill (NSLF). The Leachate Basin began to receive some leachate from the SSLF upon approval of the Permit to Operation received July 22, 2025, although leachate from the SSLF is primarily routed directly to the on -Site WWTS. 1.1.3 Construction Drain A gravity flow construction drain was installed beneath the SSLF for the purpose of maintaining groundwater elevations in the area at levels at least 4 feet below the composite liner system. The SSLF construction drain is comprised of a 6-inch high -density polyethylene (HDPE) DR-11 perforated piping network placed beneath the composite liner system of the SSLF (Drawing 2). The pipes are surrounded by 6 inches of stone with a geotextile wrap and convey collected groundwater for discharge via 6-inch solid HDPE DR-11 piping. The construction drain was completed in May 2024 and has been operational since that time. The construction drain outlet sample location, ALN-SSLF-CD1B, is at the terminus of discharge pipes within a wet well structure adjacent to the northeastern corner of the SSLF (Drawing 2). Construction drain discharge from the wet well is pumped to either the AAB Polishing Pond or a lined equalization basin within the AAB temporarily before being collected and managed through the on -Site WWTS and discharged to the Catawba River (Lake Wylie) through Outfall 002 in accordance with NPDES Permit NC0004979. 1.1.4 Surface Water Management The SSLF was designed to provide separation of contact water from non -contact stormwater. Contact stormwater is managed as leachate. Non -contact stormwater runoff from the landfill is conveyed to the perimeter channel network via a series of tack -on berms, benches, and down chutes. Page 2 Environmental Controls Monitoring Semiannual Report July 2025 through August 2025 South Starter Landfill (Permit No. 3620-INDUS) No surface water streams are upgradient of the SSLF. An intermittent stream originates immediately downgradient of the SSLF disposal area. Surface water is sampled at one location (ALN-SSLF-SW1) within the intermittent stream down and side -gradient of the SSLF (Drawing 2). 1.2 Summary of Site Geology and Hydrology The groundwater system at Allen is consistent with the regolith-fractured rock system and is characterized as an unconfined, interconnected aquifer system indicative of the Piedmont physiographic province in which the Site is contained. The groundwater system at the Site is divided into the following three flow layers to distinguish the interconnected groundwater system: the shallow flow zone, the deep flow zone (transition zone), and the bedrock flow zone. The AAB, RAB, Distribution of Residual Solids (DORS) Fills (which includes two ash storage areas and two structural fills), RAB Ash Landfill, NSLF, and SSLF are contained within former perennial stream valleys (the flow compartment) (Drawing 1). Groundwater within the flow compartment is a flow - through system. In the vicinity of the SSLF, groundwater enters the system from the upgradient end in the western portion of Duke Energy property boundary and flows laterally beneath the central portions of the AAB and SSLF and downward near the AAB dam. Beyond the dam, groundwater flows toward and discharges to the Catawba River (Lake Wylie). A groundwater divide is present in the vicinity of the SSLF to the west and south of the SSLF (Drawing 1). The groundwater divide is upgradient of the SSLF and roughly follows topography along South Point Road (to the west) and Reese Wilson Road (to the south). The topographically controlled flow direction provides natural hydraulic control of groundwater in the vicinity of the SSLF, ash basins, and adjacent sources within the flow compartment. Page 3 Environmental Controls Monitoring Semiannual Report July 2025 through August 2025 South Starter Landfill (Permit No. 3620-INDUS) 2.0 Monitoring, Sampling, and Analysis Locations and Methods 2.1 Leak Detection System Monitoring Leak detection monitoring occurs in the vicinity of the landfill sump (ALN-SSLF-LDS1) (Drawing 2). Performance of the leak detection system (LDS) is determined by the average monthly quantity of liquid removed from the leak detection layer. Each leak detection discharge pump is equipped with a pump totalizer (flow meter). The flow meter rates were monitored and recorded as defined in the Operations Plan (AECOM, 2025). Leak detection monitoring results are summarized in Section 3.1. ZI Leachate Sampling and Analysis A discrete leachate sample was collected from the leachate collection discharge in the vicinity of the landfill sump at location ALN-SSLF-LCS1 on August 27, 2025. The leachate sample location is shown on Drawing 2. Duke Energy personnel collected samples and documented the sampling in accordance with procedures provided in Duke Energy's Landfill Sample Collection Guideline (SynTerra, 2023 Appendix 1). Copies of the field sampling forms are included in Appendix A. The parameters and constituents reported were sampled in accordance with Table 1 of the approved ECMP, Revision 2 (SynTerra, 2025). The Duke Energy Analytical Laboratory (North Carolina Laboratory Certification #248) analyzed the constituents. The laboratory report and chain -of -custody (COC) forms are included in Appendix B. The leachate samples were measured for the following parameters in the field: pH, specific conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and oxidation-reduction potential using a water quality meter • Turbidity using a turbidity meter The leachate samples were analyzed in the laboratory for the following constituents: • Barium, boron, calcium, iron, lithium, magnesium, manganese, and zinc using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 6010D • Antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, thallium, and vanadium using USEPA Method 6020B • Chloride, fluoride, nitrate (as nitrogen), and sulfate using USEPA Method 9056A • Mercury using USEPA Method 7470A • Silver using USEPA Method 6020B • Total dissolved solids using Standard Method (SM) 2540C Leachate field parameters and analytical results are summarized in Section 3.2. Page 4 Environmental Controls Monitoring Semiannual Report July 2025 through August 2025 South Starter Landfill (Permit No. 3620-INDUS) Z.3 Construction Drain Outlet Sampling and Analysis A construction drain outlet sample was collected from sample location ALN-SSLF-CD1B on August 27, 2025 (Drawing 2). Copies of the field calibration and sampling forms are included in Appendix A. The parameters and constituents reported were sampled in accordance with Table 1 of the approved ECMP, Revision 2 (SynTerra, 2025). The Duke Energy Analytical Laboratory analyzed the constituents. The laboratory report and COC forms are included in Appendix B. The construction drain outlet sample was measured for the same set of parameters and constituents as the leachate samples (Section 2.2) and the following additional parameters: • Beryllium (dissolved), cadmium (dissolved), chromium (dissolved), copper (dissolved), lead (dissolved), and nickel (dissolved) using USEPA Method 6020B • Silver (dissolved) using USEPA Method 6020B • Total hardness and zinc (dissolved) using USEPA Method 6010D Construction drain outlet field parameters and analytical results are summarized in Section 3.3. 2.4 Surface Water Sampling and Analysis Surface water is designated to be sampled from an intermittent stream that flows downgradient and side -gradient of the SSLF to the south from sample location ALN-SSLF-SW1 (Drawing 2). However, a surface water sample was not collected during the August 2025 sampling event because of insufficient flow within the stream channel. 3.0 Monitoring, Sampling, and Analysis Results 3.1 Leak Detection System Monitoring Results Leakage rates were less than the initial response leakage rate (IRLR) and action leakage rate (ALR) during the reporting period. An average daily leakage rate is calculated for the operational SSLF each month and compared to the IRLR and ALR for the landfill LDS as defined in the Operations Plan (AECOM, 2025). Average daily leakage rates for the SSLF were calculated as follows: 1. Calculate the monthly total volume pumped (gallons): monthly volume pumped (gallons) = current month total flow meter reading — preceding month total flow meter reading 2. Calculate the average daily leakage rate [gallons per acre per day (gpad)]: average daily leakage rate (gpad) = monthly volume pumped (gallons) _ landfill cell area (acres) monitoring duration (days) Page 5 Environmental Controls Monitoring Semiannual Report July 2025 through August 2025 South Starter Landfill (Permit No. 3620-INDUS) The LDS monitoring results for location ALN-SSLF-LDS1 are included in Table 1. The LDS leakage rate data collection details are kept with on -Site records. No leakage rates or notable variances in the data outside of the normal operating range for the landfill were observed during the monitoring period. 32 Leachate and Analytical Results Leachate analytical results are not compared to surface water or groundwater quality standards. The leachate analytical results for sample ALN-SSLF-LCS1 are included in Table 2. As normal laboratory practice, select samples were diluted to within the calibrated range of analysis. Specifics regarding the diluted samples, including the dilution factor, are reported in the electronic data deliverable and the laboratory analytical report. The laboratory analytical report, data validation checklist, and COC form associated with data collected as part of this semiannual monitoring period are included in Appendix B. 3.3 Construction Drain Outlet Analytical Results Construction drain outlet analytical results are not compared to surface water or groundwater quality standards. The construction drain outlet analytical results for sample ALN-SSLF-CD1B are included in Table 3. The construction drain outlet sample is included in the same laboratory analytical report, data validation checklist, and COC form as the leachate data collected as part of this semiannual monitoring period (Appendix B). 3.4 Surface Water Analytical Results During the August 2025 sampling event, a surface water sample was not collected because of insufficient flow within the intermittent stream channel at designated sample location ALN-SSLF-SW1; therefore, there are no surface water analytical results to report.
