NPDES Permit Modification Request
NC0003417 NCDEQIDWRINPDES
Wayne County
Dear Ms. Grzyb:
Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy)submits this letter to request modification of the
NPDES permit for the H.F. Lee Energy Complex to add an outfall for inactive ash basin 1&2
and for inactive ash basin 3. This request is in support of planned work related to beneficiation
of the ash at HF Lee slated to commence in 2020. The request is in follow up to discussions
between Duke Energy and the Division of Water Resources staff on August 21,2019 during a
meeting in Raleigh.
Duke Energy is in the process of constructing a coal ash beneficiation system for the site. Coal
ash beneficiation is a process where ash is excavated from a basin and reprocessed to remove
carbon to make the material suitable for reuse as a product in cement. The H.F. Lee Energy
Complex is one of the three sites chosen by Duke Energy to comply with the mandate for
beneficiation in the 2016 amendments to the Coal Ash Management Act.
Duke Energy requests outfalls 005a and 005b be added to the NPDES permit with discharge
locations to the Neuse River. Excavation of the inactive basins will be carried out by opening
small workable sections of each basin individually so that only one of the new outfalls would
likely discharge at any given time after treatment through a sedimentation basin. The maximum
and daily average values submitted do not reflect any reduction in constituient loading based on
treatment via sedimentation.These outfalls are proposed in the approximate locations where the
former outfalls from the basins were located when the basins were actively receiving wastewater.
Enclosed for your consideration in support of this request are the following:
• Completed EPA forms 3510-2D and 3510-1
• Map of proposed and existing outfalls
• Proposed process flow diagram
• Groundwater data from wells screened in ash(tss<20 mgIL)used to estimate
potential characteristics of water to be released during excavation
A check in the amount of $1030 is included with this submittal to cover the modification

administrative fee.
If there are any questions regarding this request,please contact Ms. Lori Tollie via phone at (336)
854-4916 or via email at [e-mail].
I certh", under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or
supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and
evaluate the information submitted.Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system,
or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best
of my knowledge and belief true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties
for submitting false information, including the possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations.

VII.Other Information O tional
Use the space below to expand upon any of the above questions or to bring to the attention of the reviewer any
other information you feel should be considered in establishing permit limitations for the proposed facility. Attach
additional sheets if necessary.
Proposed outfalls 005a&005b would support the excavation of the HF Lee inactive basins 1,2 &3. The ash excavated
from the inactive basins will be processed in the Staged Turbulent Air Reactor(STAR). Flows associated with the STAR
unit operation are permitted under outfall 004 of the existing NPDES permit.
The inactive ash basins will be timbered and exposed in small sections to limit exposure and wastewater generated.
Ash from inactive basins 1,2, and 3 is planned to be blended with ash from the"active"ash basin as a source
material for the STAR beneficiation unit. It is likely that only one outfall will be active at a time although there may be
a short period of time where both could be active as activities move from one basin to another.
The Coal Ash Management Act(CAMA)mandates that the excavation be complete by April 4, 2028.
M.Certification
I Certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or
supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and
evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or
those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for
submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.
