Duke Energy is in receipt of the May 1, 2017 letter from the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) which requires an annual interim monitoring plan report for each of Duke
Energy's 14 coal ash facilities. Per the DEQ May 1, 2017 letter, "The respective annual monitoring
reports shall include figures, tables, cross -sections, maps and time -series plots in a manner that provides
an integrated, comprehensive interpretation of site conditions and plume status." The next annual
reports would be due on April 30, 2020 and address calendar year 2019.
Duke Energy is also in receipt of the DEQ letter dated April 5, 2019 which provides a schedule for
submittal of updated Comprehensive Site Assessments (CSAs) and Corrective Action Plans (CAPS) for all

through October 1, 2020 and more than address the requirements of the annual monitoring reports. As
such, Duke Energy requests that DEQ defer the 2019 annual reports.
