EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This human health and ecological risk assessment pertaining to the Belews Creek Steam
Station (BCSS or Site) was prepared on behalf of Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke
Energy). The risk assessment focuses on potential impacts of coal combustion residual
(CCR) constituents from the BCSS ash basin on groundwater, surface water, and
sediment. Groundwater flow information was used to focus the risk assessment on
areas where exposure of humans and wildlife to CCR constituents could occur. To
assist in corrective action decision making, this risk assessment characterized potential
effects on human health and the environment related to naturally occurring elements,
associated with coal ash, present in environmental media. Corrective action will be
implemented with the goal of keeping future Site conditions protective of human health
and the environment, as required by the 2014 North Carolina General Assembly Session
Law 2014-122, Coal Ash Management Act (CAMA).
The human health and ecological risk assessment is based on North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) and U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) risk assessment guidance. Conclusions of the risk assessment are: (1)
there is no evidence of risks to on -Site or off -Site human receptors potentially exposed
to CCR constituents that have migrated from the ash basin; and (2) there is no evidence
of risks to ecological receptors potentially exposed to CCR constituents that have
migrated from the ash basin.
This risk assessment uses analytical results from groundwater, surface water, and
sediment samples collected March 2015 through June 2019. The framework of the risk
assessment follows a stepwise process. The steps include:
Step 1. Development of conceptual site models (CSMs) showing the type of
affected media, exposure routes and pathways, and human and ecological
receptors that might occur at the Site
Step 2. Comparison of analytical data with applicable state and federal human
health and ecological screening values (ESVs) to identify constituents of
potential concern (COPCs)
Step 3. Derivation of Site -specific human health risk -based concentrations (RBCs)
for COPCs, derivation of exposure point concentrations (EPCs), and
comparison of EPCs with the RBCs to draw conclusions about the potential
human health risks at the Site

Step 4. Development of Site -specific wildlife exposure concentrations for
comparison with COPC-specific toxicity reference values (TRVs) to draw
conclusions about potential risks to wildlife at the Site
Human health and ecological CSMs were developed to help identify exposure
pathways, exposure routes, and potential receptors for evaluation. The CSMs describe
the sources and potential pathways through which groundwater migration from the ash
basin might have transported CCR constituents to other environmental media
(receiving media) and, in turn, to potential human and ecological receptors.
Receiving media to which human receptors could be exposed to COPCs include:
• Outdoor air
• Groundwater
• On -Site soil beneath the coal ash basin
• On -Site surface water and sediment (e.g., in tributaries)
• Off -Site surface water, sediment, and fish (e.g., in Belews Reservoir and the Dan
River)
Potential human receptors considered in the risk assessment were:
• On -Site trespassers (current and future use)
• On -Site commercial or industrial workers (current and future use)
• On -Site construction workers (current and future use)
• Off -Site residents (current and future use)
• Off -Site recreational users, including people who swim, wade, boat, or fish in
Belews Reservoir and the Dan River (current and future use)
• Off -Site subsistence fishers in Belews Reservoir or the Dan River (current and
future use)
No public or private drinking water wells or wellhead protection areas were found
downgradient of the ash basin; therefore, there is no exposure to current residential
receptors.

Receiving media to which ecological receptors could be exposed to COPCs include:
• Outdoor air
• Groundwater
• On -Site soil beneath the coal ash basin (post -excavation soils)
• On -Site surface water, sediment, and biotic tissue (e.g., in tributaries)
Ecological receptors are represented by "indicator" or "surrogate" organisms that
represent other animals within their generic class, order, or family. Receptors
considered in the ecological risk assessment included:
• Benthic macroinvertebrates
• Fish
• Birds (e.g., mallard duck, great blue heron)
• Mammals (e.g., muskrat, river otter)
The screening -level risk assessment identified the following human health COPCs:
Medium/Location

The identified COPCs were used in the human health risk assessment (comparison of
Site -specific RBCs with EPCs) and in the baseline ecological risk assessment. No
unacceptable risks from exposure to environmental media were identified. Results of
the human health risk assessment indicated the following:
• On -Site groundwater poses no unacceptable risk associated with the construction
worker exposure scenario.
• On- and off -Site surface water and sediment pose no unacceptable risks for
recreational receptors (swimmer, wader, boater, and recreational fisher).
• Consumption of fish in the Dan River by a subsistence fisher resulted in Hazard
Quotients (HQs) greater than 1 for cobalt and zinc. However, the exposure
model used assumed rates for bioconcentration and fish consumption, which
resulted in overestimated risks for the subsistence fisher.
• Consumption of fish by a subsistence fisher resulted in an estimated Excess
Lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR) that is within the risk range of 1 x 10-4 to 1 x 10-6 for
hexavalent chromium for the Dan River and Belews Reservoir; however, the EPC
used in the risk model was comparable to upgradient hexavalent chromium
concentrations.
Findings of the baseline ecological risk assessment include the following:
Ecological Exposure Area 1:
No risks were identified for the mallard duck, great blue heron, and river
otter exposed to surface water and sediments in the Dan River exposure area.
• Modeled risk estimates resulted in aluminum HQs greater than 1 based on
the no observed adverse effects level (NOAELs) or low observed adverse effects
level (LOAELs) for the killdeer and based on NOAELs for the muskrat. Based
on the LOAEL, the HQ for aluminum was less than 1 for the muskrat, which
indicates no evidence of risks. The HQ was greater than 1 for the killdeer.
Concentrations of aluminum measured in the Dan River exposure area and
upstream are representative of natural conditions. Therefore, the modeled
risk estimates for exposure to aluminum by the muskrat and killdeer are
considered negligible.

Ecological Exposure Area 3:
• No risks were identified for the mallard duck, great blue heron, and river
otter exposed to surface water and sediments in the Belews Reservoir
exposure area.
• Modeled risk estimates resulted in aluminum HQs greater than 1 based on
the NOAELs or LOAELs for the killdeer and based on NOAELs for the
muskrat. Based on the LOAEL, the HQ for aluminum was less than 1 for the
muskrat, which indicates no evidence of risks. The NOAEL based HQ was
greater than 1 for the killdeer. Concentrations of aluminum measured in
Belews Reservoir exposure area are representative of natural conditions.
Therefore, the modeled risk estimates for exposure to aluminum by the
muskrat and killdeer are considered negligible.
In summary, there is no evidence of unacceptable risks to human and ecological
receptors exposed to environmental media potentially affected by CCR constituents at
BCSS. This conclusion is further supported by multiple water quality and biological
assessments conducted by Duke Energy as part of the NPDES monitoring program.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This human health and ecological risk assessment pertaining to the Belews Creek Steam
Station (BCSS or Site) was prepared on behalf of Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke
Energy). The risk assessment focuses on the potential effects of coal combustion
residual (CCR) constituents from the BCSS ash basin on groundwater, surface water,
and sediment. Groundwater flow information was used to focus the risk assessment on
areas where exposure of humans and wildlife to CCR constituents could occur. Duke
Energy owns and operates BCSS, located in Belews Creek, Stokes County, North
Carolina (Figure 1).
This human health and ecological risk assessment concludes that: (1) there is no
evidence of risks to on -Site or off -Site human receptors potentially exposed to CCR
constituents that have migrated from the ash basin; and (2) there is no evidence of risks
to ecological receptors potentially exposed to CCR constituents that have migrated from
the ash basin. This risk assessment incorporates results from groundwater, surface
water, and sediment samples collected March 2015 through June 2019. This risk
assessment was conducted to support an updated Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for
BCSS. The original risk assessment was completed in 2016, also in support of the CAP
process.
Duke Energy has collected a substantial amount of data related to the BCSS ash basin
and the closed Pine Hall Road Landfill to form the basis for this CAP update. The
closed Pine Hall Road Landfill located within the ash basin drainage system is
considered coincident with the ash basin and is a component of the CAP. This risk
assessment was prepared in support of the CAP. Detailed descriptions of Site
operational history, physical setting and features, and geology/hydrogeology are
documented in the following reports:

6. Comprehensive Site Assessment Update — Belews Creek Steam Station Ash Basin
(SynTerra 2017b).
Consistent with the iterative risk assessment process and guidance, updates to the risk
assessment have been made to the original 2016 risk assessment (HDR, 2016b) in order
to incorporate new site data and refine conceptual site models. The original risk
assessment was prepared in accordance with a work plan for risk assessment of CCR-
affected media at Duke Energy sites (Haley & Aldrich, 2015). Risk assessment updates
have largely followed the work plan procedures. Updates to the work plan procedures
include:
• CCR constituents evaluated in the risk assessment were conservatively assumed
to be 100 percent bioavailable.
• Ecological exposure parameters and toxicity data for some wildlife receptors
were updated and cited in the ecological risk output tables.
• No statistical treatment of background surface water and sediment data was
performed. Instead, CCR constituent exposure concentrations are compared to
measured background data for those media.
• The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of cobalt used to estimate concentration of the
constituent in fish tissue was revised to 300 (ERD, 1999).
The following risk assessment reports have been prepared:
1. Baseline Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment, Appendix F of Corrective
Action Plan Part 2 (HDR, 2016b)
2. Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA) Update (SynTerra, 2017b)
3. Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment Summary Update for Belews Creek
Steam Station, Appendix B of Community Impact Analysis of Ash Basin Closure
Options at the Belews Creek Steam Station (Exponent, 2018)
To help evaluate options for groundwater corrective action, this risk assessment
characterized potential effects on human health and the environment related to
naturally occurring elements, associated with coal ash, present in environmental media.
Corrective action will be implemented with the goal of keeping future Site conditions
protective of human health and the environment, as required by the 2014 North

Carolina General Assembly Session Law 2014-122, Coal Ash Management Act (CAMA).
This risk assessment follows the methods of the 2016 risk assessment (HDR, 2016b) and
is based on North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR, 2003), North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ,
2017), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) risk assessment guidance
(USEPA, 1989; 1991a; 1998). The NCDEQ Technical Guidance for Risk -based Environmental
Remediation of Sites contains a risk calculator for deriving human health risk -based
remediation goals (NCDEQ, 2017). While this risk assessment follows similar
procedures, North Carolina's Session Law 2015-286 does not allow the technical
guidance and risk calculator to be used at CAMA sites.
Areas of wetness (AOWs) associated with engineered structures, also referred to as
"constructed seeps," are being addressed in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permits and are not subject to this risk assessment due to the
permitted status. Other AOWs (non -constructed seeps) are addressed under a Special
Order by Consent (SOC) issued by the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission (EMC SOC WQ S18-004) and therefore are also not subject to this risk
assessment. The AOWs are expected to reduce in flow or be eliminated after decanting
of the ash basin as a component of basin closure. The SOC requires that seeps
remaining after decanting are to be addressed with a CAP to "protect public health,
safety, and welfare, the environment, and natural resources" (EMC SOC WQ S18-004, 2.
d.).
1.1 Risk Assessment Framework
The framework for the risk assessment follows a stepwise process. The steps include:
Step 1: Development of conceptual site models (CSMs) showing the type of
affected media, exposure routes and pathways, and human and ecological
receptors that might occur at the Site
Step 2: Comparison of analytical data with applicable state and federal human
health and ecological screening values (ESVs) to identify constituents of
potential concern (COPCs)
Step 3: Derivation of Site -specific human health risk -based concentrations (RBCs)
for COPCs, derivation of exposure point concentrations (EPCs), and
comparison of EPCs with the RBCs to draw conclusions about the potential
human health risks at the Site

2.0 CONCEPTUAL SITE MODELS
Human health and ecological CSMs were developed to guide identification of exposure
pathways, exposure routes, and potential receptors for evaluation. The CSMs describe
the sources and potential pathways through which groundwater migration from the ash
basin might have transported CCR-derived COPCs to other environmental media
(receiving media) and, in turn, to potential human and ecological receptors. The
linkage between a source, the receiving medium, and a point of potential exposure is
called an exposure pathway. For an exposure pathway to be complete, the following
conditions must exist (USEPA, 1989):
1. A source and mechanism of chemical release to the environment
2. An environmental transport medium (e.g., air, water, soil)
3. A point of potential contact with the receiving medium by a receptor
4. A receptor exposure route at the point of contact (e.g., inhalation, ingestion,
dermal contact)
The CSM is meant to be a "living" model that can be updated and modified as
additional data and information become available.
2.1 Current and Future Land Uses
BCSS is located on the northwest side of Belews Reservoir on Pine Hall Road in Belews
Creek, Stokes County, North Carolina (Figure 1). BCSS is a two -unit coal-fired
electricity generating plant with a combined capacity of 2,240 megawatts (MW). The
station began commercial operations in 1974 with Unit 1 (1,120 MW) followed by Unit 2
(1,120 MW) in 1975. Cooling water for BCSS is provided by Belews Reservoir, which
was created to serve this purpose.
The area surrounding the ash basin generally consists of undeveloped land, farmland,
residential properties, and Belews Reservoir. An unnamed tributary, situated beginning
approximately 300 feet from the base of the ash basin dam, extends 4,300 feet from
southeast to northwest where it enters the Dan River.
The station and supporting facilities, which encompass approximately 700 acres, are
situated within a 6,100-acre parcel owned by Duke Energy. Based on a review of
available historical aerial photography, the area consisted of a combination of
agricultural land, rural residential, and woodlands prior to the impoundment of Belews
Creek for the formation of Belews Reservoir and construction of the station.

The ash basin, located across Pine Hall Road to the northwest of the station, is generally
bounded by an earthen dam and a natural ridge to the northeast, Middleton Loop to the
west, and Pine Hall Road to the south and east.
2.2 Human Health Conceptual Site Model
The human health risk assessment CSM was developed by:
1. Identifying receiving media where COPCs might be present
2. Identifying the exposure setting and current and future land uses, which allowed
for identification of receptor populations
3. Identifying the exposure routes applicable to each of the receptor populations
and receiving media
The ultimate product of the CSM is identification of potentially complete exposure
pathways for specific land -use populations. The original CSM for potential human
receptors was presented in the 2016 risk assessment (HDR, 2016b). Figure 2 presents
the updated CSM, which serves as the basis of this human health risk assessment.
2.2.1 Receiving Media
COPCs potentially could migrate from the ash basin to groundwater, soil,
surface water, sediment, and air. Principal migration pathways could include: 1)
infiltration and percolation of rainwater through the coal ash basin, resulting in
leaching of COPCs into soil beneath the basin and subsequently to groundwater;
2) migration of COPCs in groundwater and subsequent discharge of
groundwater to the land surface or directly to surface water; and 3) surface run-
off and erosion into surface water bodies. Particles eroded into surface water can
settle as submerged sediment. COPCs in groundwater discharge to surface water
can adsorb to sediment. COPCs in soil and surface water can be potentially
taken up by plants, fish, and other aquatic organisms. COPCs in unsaturated
media may be entrained as dust in outdoor air. Potential receiving media
include
• Outdoor air
• Groundwater
• On -Site seep water and seep soil (AOW)
• On -Site soil beneath the coal ash basin
• On -Site surface water and sediment (e.g., tributaries)
Page 2-2
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
• Off -Site surface water, sediment, and biotic tissue (e.g., in Belews
Reservoir and the Dan River)
The coal ash and ponded water in the basin are not considered direct exposure
media for the purposes of this risk assessment, as the ash basin is part of the
permitted waste treatment system at the Site.
2.2.2 Exposure Setting and Receptors
The ash basin is located on property owned by Duke Energy. Land use
surrounding the property not under the control of Duke Energy may include
undisturbed open space, rural areas, recreational areas, and/or water bodies. The
land will be retained by Duke Energy. Based on this information, receptors on
Duke Energy -controlled property (i.e., on -Site) could include:
• Trespassers (current and future use)
• Commercial or industrial workers (current and future use)
• Construction workers (current and future use)
Potential receptors on property not controlled by Duke Energy (i.e., off -Site)
could include:
• Residents (current and future use)
Recreational users, including people who swim, wade, boat, or fish in
Belews Reservoir and the Dan River who might be receiving media from
coal ash -derived COPCs (current and future use)
• Subsistence fishers in Belews Reservoir or the Dan River who might be
receiving media from coal ash -derived COPCs (current and future use)
2.2.3 Exposure Routes
Exposure routes by which humans potentially can be exposed to COPCs in
environmental media at the Site include ingestion, dermal contact, and
inhalation. More than one exposure route might be applicable to each of the
exposure media.
2.2.4 Exposure Pathways by Receiving Media
Potential human receptor exposure pathways for each of the receiving media are
described in the following sections.
Page 2-3
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
2.2.4.1 Outdoor Air
Particulates (i.e., dust) that are released from soil via wind erosion or human
activity can migrate downwind with air dispersion. On -Site receptors
(trespassers, commercial/industrial workers, construction workers)
potentially could inhale substances entrained in the dust.
Construction activities that disturb soil could expose construction workers
to COPCs entrained in dust. Therefore, this is a potentially complete
exposure pathway.
2.2.4.2 Groundwater
Where groundwater is used as a source of drinking water, off -site residents
might potentially be exposed to COPCs if leaching to groundwater and
subsequent migration of groundwater to a potable well point occurs.
Exposure of off -site receptors to COPCs in groundwater will occur only if
there is a complete exposure pathway (i.e., groundwater containing coal ash
COPCs migrates to an off -site receptor's water supply well). Section 5 of
the BCSS CAP provides a summary of municipal and water supply wells
surrounding the property. No municipal water supply lines are available to
residents within a 0.5-mile radius of the ash basin compliance boundary.
No public or private drinking water wells or wellhead protection areas
were found to be located downgradient of the ash basin. This finding has
been supported by field observations, a review of public records, an
evaluation of historical groundwater flow direction data, and results of
groundwater flow and transport modeling.
All of the private water supply wells identified are located either
upgradient or side -gradient of the ash basin. Although results from local
water supply well testing do not indicate effects from the source area, water
supply wells identified within the 0.5-mile radius from ash basin
compliance boundary have been offered a water treatment system, per G.S.
130A-309.211(cl) requirements. No sampled water supply wells were
deemed impacted by groundwater from the ash basin. The drinking water
pathway assumes that residents use groundwater as a source of water
supply and are exposed via ingestion as drinking water and dermal contact
during household uses and bathing/showering. The inhalation exposure
route is not complete for non-volatile substances (e.g., metals) in
groundwater.
Page 2-4
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
Duke Energy maintains control over the BCSS property and uses it for
industrial purposes. The BCSS property is not used for residential purposes
and Site groundwater is not used as a source of drinking water. No
residences are located hydraulically downgradient of on -Site groundwater.
Consequently, no complete exposure pathway exists for groundwater used
for potable purposes. Future site use is anticipated to remain the same.
On -Site construction workers potentially could be exposed to coal ash -
derived COPCs in groundwater via incidental ingestion and dermal contact
if shallow groundwater is encountered during construction and
maintenance activities such as with excavation. Therefore, this is a
potentially complete exposure pathway. Groundwater data from on -Site
wells sampled during the CSA program were used in calculating the EPCs
for this scenario. This recent data was used in evaluating risk to
construction workers as it is representative of conditions that exist at the
Site.
2.2.4.3 Surface Water, Sediment, and Fish Tissue
Potential exposures to COPCs that have migrated into surface water and
sediment could occur through ingestion and dermal contact. However, the
specific nature of potential exposures is dependent on the type of water
body. Specifically:
• Dermal contact with shallow surface water (e.g., less than 3 feet in
depth) can occur via wading. Wading exposures potentially could
occur on -Site for human receptors using Belews Reservoir and the
Dan River or its tributaries. Therefore, this is a potentially
complete exposure pathway.
Incidental ingestion and dermal contact with deeper surface water
(e.g., more than 3 feet in depth) could occur via swimming.
Swimming is not allowed at any of the on -Site areas evaluated in
the project. On -Site tributaries are not deep enough to allow for
swimming. Therefore, this exposure pathway is not considered
complete for on -Site water bodies. Exposures during swimming
could be complete for off -Site recreational visitors to Belews
Reservoir and Dan River. Therefore, this is a potentially complete
off -Site exposure pathway.
Dermal contact with off -Site surface water could occur during
boating or fishing activities. Since these types of activities are not
Page 2-5
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
associated with intense exposures to water (such as swimming),
incidental ingestion of surface water would be insignificant.
Therefore, this is a potentially complete exposure pathway.'
USEPA Region 4 (USEPA, 2014) provides the following with
respect to potential exposure to sediments:
"Sediments in an intermittent stream should be considered
as surface soil for the portion of the year the stream is
without water. In most cases it is unnecessary to evaluate
human exposures to sediments that are always covered by
surface water."
In accordance with this guidance, incidental ingestion and dermal
contact with sediment could occur for on -Site trespassers or off -Site
recreational visitors if the sediment is not submerged beneath
surface water. In areas where sediment is submerged, this
exposure pathway is incomplete. However, this is a potentially
complete exposure pathway in areas where sediment is exposed
and dry.
Ingestion of COPCs could occur if people catch and eat fish that
have accumulated such substances in their edible tissues. In order
for this pathway to be complete, fish species that are large enough
for consumption would have to be present in Belews Reservoir and
Dan River. It should also be recognized that a portion of the metal
body burden in fish tissues (e.g., mercury, selenium) might be
contributed by background levels in sediment and surface water
from natural occurrence or other sources. Direct ingestion of fish
(tissue) caught from Belews Reservoir and Dan River is a
potentially complete exposure pathway. COPC concentrations in
surface water were compared with their respective calculated RBCs
(that incorporate and are therefore protective of the fish ingestion
pathway) in the risk assessment for both recreational and
subsistence fishers.
' Because of the proximity of on -Site surface water and sediment sampling locations in tributaries of the
Dan River to the river proper, surface water and sediment sample results from the tributaries and the
river were combined and considered an off -Site exposure for recreational users.

• The Dan River (at BCSS) is a Class WS-IV water, and Belews
Reservoir (at BCSS) is a Class C water. Dan River is currently used
as a source of drinking water supply. Class WS-IV waters are
protected as water supplies that are generally in moderately to
highly developed watersheds. Class C waters are protected for
uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish
consumption, and aquatic life. The water supply intake for the
Madison, NC, water system is located approximately 8 miles
downstream of BCSS on the Dan River, and the water supply
intake for the Eden, NC, water system is located approximately 29
miles downstream of BCSS on the Dan River. Municipalities and
industries that use the Dan River water as their source of potable
water for distribution to the public treat the water (e.g., filter,
disinfection, pH adjustment) as necessary to achieve federal and
state drinking water standards. To be conservative, the exposure
pathway from surface water to a residence is identified as
potentially complete, and municipal treatment of surface water to
meet federal drinking water standards has not been assumed. This
pathway is evaluated by comparing surface water analytical data
collected from Belews Reservoir and the Dan River with drinking
water -based screening levels.
2.2.4.4 Seeps and Seep Soil
Exposure to seeps and seep soil tends to be limited due to their discrete size
and isolated location; therefore, the applicable potential exposure pathway
to seep water would be limited to dermal contact. Exposure to seep soil
(i.e., the soil over which seep water is present) could also potentially occur
through dermal contact. On -site receptors (trespasser,
commercial/industrial worker) may be exposed to CCR constituents in seep
water and seep soil. Because AOWs are currently being addressed in
NPDES permits or the SOC, these receptors were not evaluated in this risk
assessment, although the associated exposure pathways are considered
complete.
2.2.4.5 Post -Excavation Soil
Post -excavation soil is a medium for evaluation after basin closure is
performed. It is included here as a receiving medium with a complete
exposure pathway for evaluation in the future.

2.3 Ecological Conceptual Site Model
The ecological CSM was developed in a similar manner as the human health CSM
described above [i.e., identify sources and media where COPCs may be present,
determine the exposure pathways, identify the types of receptors, and identify the
exposure routes applicable to each of the receptor populations (principally direct or
indirect ingestion of COPCs)]. The original CSM for potential ecological receptors was
presented in Figure 2-4 of the 2016 risk assessment (HDR, 2016b). The updated
ecological CSM is presented in Figure 3 of this report. For surface water, the
distribution of the constituents between the dissolved and particulate phases is relevant
in characterizing exposures. Chemical and physical transformations that lead to a
variety of chemical species, particularly for metals/metalloids, might occur. Those
occurrences might have important implications for assessing the bioavailability of
chemicals to ecological receptors and subsequent potential for adverse effects.
Information developed for the CSM was used to develop the screening assessment
(Section 4) and the development of the Baseline Ecological Risk Assessment (BERA).
2.3.1 Sources and Release Mechanisms
Primary release mechanisms refer to how COPCs might be transported from the
original sources; secondary sources are environmental media that receive direct
or indirect chemical inputs from the primary source via chemical flow and
transport mechanisms. Flow and transport mechanisms include infiltration into
soils leaching to groundwater. Secondary sources include exposed soil (after
events such as closure of an ash basin). Secondary release mechanisms include
migration of COPCs from soil or groundwater to surface water and sediment.
For the purpose of this risk assessment, the potential and known source of
COPCs (principally metals) is associated with the coal ash basin and the Pine
Hall Road landfill situated directly upgradient of the ash basin.
2.3.2 Exposure Pathways by Receiving Media
As shown on Figure 2, COPCs potentially could migrate from the coal ash basin
to soil (beneath the coal ash basin), groundwater, surface water, sediment, and
air. Principal migration pathways could include: 1) the infiltration and
percolation of rainwater through the coal ash basin, resulting in leaching of
COPCs into soil beneath the basin and subsequently to groundwater; 2)
migration of COPCs in groundwater and subsequent discharge of groundwater
to surface water; and 3) run-off of surface water and/or erosion into surface water
bodies. Eroded particles in surface water can settle and be incorporated into
sediment, and COPCs in groundwater discharge to surface water can adsorb to
sediment particles. COPCs in soil and surface water also can be taken up by
Page 2-8
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
biota. Finally, COPCs in unsaturated media can be entrained as dusts in outdoor
air. Potential receiving media include:
• Outdoor air
• Groundwater
• On -Site seep water and seep soil (AOW)
• On -Site surface water, sediment, and biotic tissue
• On -Site soil beneath the coal ash basin (post -excavation soils)
• On -Site surface water and sediment (e.g., tributaries)
• Off -Site surface water, sediment, and biotic tissue (e.g., in Belews
Reservoir and the Dan River)
Groundwater and air are not traditionally evaluated in ecological risk
assessments, as the exposure pathway is either incomplete (groundwater) or
insignificant (air). Although consumption (drinking) of surface water is
evaluated in the BERA, exposure via this pathway does not typically contribute
substantially to exposure and subsequent effects from COPCs for ecological
receptors. Risks associated with sediment exposure were estimated from CCR
constituent concentrations in bulk samples.
2.3.3 Ecological Receptors
Ecological receptors are represented by "indicator" or "surrogate" organisms
that represent other animals within their generic class, order, or family. The
receptor groups evaluated in the BERA were selected on the basis that they
commonly occur on and nearby Duke Energy sites, and they represent most
species with the potential for exposure to CCR constituents that may have
migrated from the ash basin. While some receptor groups are not specifically
evaluated, such as plant communities and amphibians and reptiles, the
conservative assumptions and procedures inherent in the risk assessment
process are likely protective of those potential receptors. Ecological receptors
selected for this BERA include:
• Benthic invertebrates
• Fish
• Birds
• Mammals
Page 2-9
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
As presented on Figure 3, birds and mammals can be classified as either aquatic
or terrestrial. Aquatic species would represent organisms that forage or nest in
streams, rivers, or lakes; for Duke Energy facilities, that can include both on -Site
and off -Site areas. Terrestrial organisms would represent organisms that forage
or nest in upland areas, which, for the Duke Energy facilities, are generally on -
Site areas. At BCSS, the ecological exposure areas subject to this risk assessment
are associated with aquatic habitat within and adjacent to the Dan River and
Belews Reservoir. Other exposure areas, such as AOWs potentially frequented
by terrestrial receptors, are not part of this current assessment. As such, aquatic
receptors (benthic invertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals) were considered to be
those most relevant for potential exposure to CCR constituents. The indicator
species listed on Figure 3 are used to represent the aquatic receptors at the BCSS
site. Home range/foraging area sizes were considered when evaluating potential
exposures for these receptor species.
2.3.4 Exposure Routes
Ingestion, dermal contact, and inhalation are potential routes by which ecological
receptors could be exposed at the Site. With the exception of benthic
invertebrates and fish (with gill exposure), ingestion is considered to be the
primary route contributing to food chain exposure (i.e., mammals and birds).
While surface (drinking) water is addressed, this pathway is typically a minor
contributor to risk, as many animals either obtain adequate hydration through
ingestion of their prey or the volume of drinking water consumed is low
compared to their overall body weight. Dermal exposure is not a significant
pathway, as the presence of fur, feathers, or a thick integument prevents
substantial exposure to soils (preening also results in the inadvertent ingestion of
soils/sediment).
2.3.5 Exposure Pathways
Although many types of birds and mammals might potentially be exposed to
background and site -related COPCs, receptors selected as indicator receptors in
this assessment are expected to be ubiquitous in terms of regional habitat.
Habitats surrounding representative sample locations at BCSS are considered
primarily aquatic; therefore, the exposure pathways associated with aquatic
receptors were evaluated for this Site. The respective exposure media and
exposure routes are as follows:
Page 2-10
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
• Benthic invertebrates — Surface water and sediment are the principal
exposure pathways for benthic invertebrates, as these organisms are in
intimate contact with these media.
Fish — Surface water is a critical exposure pathway for fish, as their gill
membrane is continuously exposed to this medium; metal toxicity to
aquatic organisms is typically mediated at the surface water/gill interface.
Bottom -dwelling fish are also exposed to sediments.
• Aquatic Birds
Mallard (omnivore) — Plants and benthic invertebrates are the primary
exposure media via ingestion for dabbling ducks; sediment is
inadvertently ingested when feeding on invertebrates at the bottom of the
water body.
Great blue heron (piscivore) — Ingestion of fish is the primary component
of the diet, and therefore the primary route of exposure.
Killdeer (invertivore) — Ingestion of small invertebrates such as midges,
mayflies, flies (particularly their larvae), snails, crayfish, earthworms, and
some terrestrial insects, grasshoppers, beetles, worms, snails, and small
crustaceans is the primary food source. Diet may also consist of small
seeds. Sediment is inadvertently ingested during feeding.
• Aquatic Mammals
Muskrat (herbivore) — Ingestion of wetland plants is the primary
component of the diet, and sediment is inadvertently ingested during
feeding.
River otter (piscivore) — Ingestion of fish is the primary component of the
diet (no incidental ingestion of sediment), and therefore the primary route
of exposure.
Reptiles and amphibians likely inhabit the exposure areas evaluated in the risk
assessment. However, there is limited toxicity and exposure information for
food web modeling, which presents an uncertainty in the risk assessment.
2.3.5.1 Surface Water, Sediment, and Biotic Tissue
Surface water and sediment are the principal exposure pathways for benthic
invertebrates, as these organisms are in intimate contact with these media.
Surface water is a critical exposure pathway for fish, as their gill membrane
Page 2-11
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
is continuously exposed to this medium; metal toxicity to aquatic organisms
is typically mediated at the surface water/gill interface.
Benthic invertebrates and plants can uptake metals from surface water and
potentially accumulate them in tissue (i.e., bioconcentration). Some fish
feed on invertebrates or plants and can, in turn, be exposed to the metals via
ingestion that have been taken up by lower trophic level organisms. For
fish, direct uptake from surface water is the predominant exposure pathway
for metals. Piscivorous birds (e.g., herons) and mammals (e.g., river otter)
consume fish as the main component of their diet. Omnivorous birds such
as mallards also consume aquatic plants and benthic invertebrates.
Exposure to site -related COPCs will therefore be indirect, i.e., accumulated
from surface water and sediment into fish, benthic invertebrates, or aquatic
plants, which are then subsequently consumed.
The inadvertent ingestion of sediment is also an important exposure
pathway for some avian and mammalian receptors. Birds that feed off the
bottom of a waterbody (e.g., dabbling ducks) and birds that glean insects or
worms in the sediment or soil (e.g., stilts, killdeer, robins) can inadvertently
ingest significant amounts of sediment, up to 30 percent of the weight of
their diet. Similarly, mammals can inadvertently ingest soil or sediment
when ingesting their prey.
2.3.5.2 Seeps and Seep Soils
On -site receptors, such as mammals and birds, have the potential to be
exposed to seeps and seep soil adjacent to the ash basin. Seeps may be
evaluated separately from the surface water bodies as the potential for
exposure may be limited due to the discrete size of each seep and isolated
location(s). Potential exposure may occur to seeps soil via incidental
ingestion of the soil or dietary ingestion of plants or invertebrates that have
been exposed to metals from seep soil. Because AOWs are currently being
addressed in NPDES permits or the SOC, they are not subject to this risk
assessment.
2.3.5.3 Post -Excavation Soil
Post -excavation soil is a medium for evaluation after basin closure is
performed. It is included here as a receiving medium with a complete
exposure pathway for evaluation in the future.

2.3.6 Ecological Exposure Areas
The ecological risk assessment evaluated areas on -Site and off -Site where wildlife
would likely be exposed to COPCs that might have migrated from the ash basin
through groundwater or surface water features. The 2016 risk assessment
evaluated five ecological exposure areas (Figure 4):
• Ecological Exposure Area 1, located northwest of the ash basin, extending
northeast along the Dan River
• Ecological Exposure Area 2, located directly north of the ash basin
• Ecological Exposure Area 3, located east of the ash basin and extending to
Belews Reservoir
• Ecological Exposure Area 4, located south of the ash basin and the
Structural Fill
• Ecological Exposure Area 5, located south of Duke Power Steam Plant
Road and within the steam station area
Ecological Exposure Area 2 was not evaluated in this assessment because AOW
and NPDES data contained in this area are not subject to this risk assessment due
to the permitted status. Ecological Exposure Areas 4 and 5 are not located within
the groundwater flow path of the ash basin and Pine Hall Road landfill (Figure
4). Topographic ridges that also reflect groundwater divides control
groundwater flow to the north of the basin. Ecological Exposure Area 5 is also
located on a peninsula of land hydraulically separated from the ash basin.
Potentially affected areas on -Site were classified as aquatic and evaluated for
exposure to site COPCs. The aquatic habitat of the unnamed water bodies, the
Dan River, and Belews Reservoir were included in the on -Site and off -Site
exposure areas evaluated.
2.4 Revised Conceptual Site Models and Exposure Areas
New information regarding groundwater flow and the treatment of source areas other
than the ash basin has resulted in refinement of exposure pathways and exposure areas.
The CSMs (Figure 2 and Figure 3) reflect potentially complete exposure pathways with
potential risks. Human health risks were evaluated Site -wide and in adjacent areas as
depicted in Figure 4. Ecological exposure areas evaluated in the BERA are depicted in
Figure 5. Changes to the CSMs include:
Page 2-13
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
• Exposure to COPCs by Site workers is considered incomplete, because Duke
Energy maintains strict health and safety requirements and training. The use of
personal protective equipment (e.g., boots, gloves, safety glasses) and other safety
behaviors exhibited by Site workers limits exposure to CCR constituents.
• Ecological Exposure Areas 2, 4, and 5 described above were eliminated from this
risk assessment update. These areas are not influenced by groundwater
migration from the ash basin based on site monitoring data and flow and
transport modeling evaluations (Exposure Areas 4 and 5), or the areas contain
AOWs covered by the SOC (Exposure Area 2). Ecological Exposure Area 1
(northwest of the ash basin and including a portion of the Dan River) was
evaluated in this risk assessment because of possible influence from seeps and
tributaries. Ecological Exposure Area 3 (east of the ash basin and including a
portion of Belews Reservoir) was evaluated because of possible influence from
an historical seep, S-06.
Groundwater monitoring and flow and transport modeling, indicate CCR
constituents have not migrated in groundwater to Belews Reservoir and the Dan
River. There is evidence that migration to Belews Reservoir from a seep
designated S-06 has occurred. The flow from S-06 to Belews Reservoir is
negligible in comparison with the volume of the reservoir. The seep is covered
under the SOC, and flow is expected to be reduced or eliminated as a result of
decanting the ash basin.

3.0 DATA EVALUATION
Data evaluated for the risk assessment included samples of groundwater, surface water,
and sediments collected from March 2015 to June 2019. Environmental samples were
analyzed and reported under the quality assurance/quality control program of the Duke
Energy Analytical Laboratory (Huntersville, NC). Data underwent Stage II data
validation in general accordance with USEPA Functional Guidelines for Evaluating
Inorganics Analyses (USEPA 1994, as updated). Data identified as usable during the
validation process was included in the risk assessment dataset.
3.1 Data Sources
Appendix C of the BCSS CAP Report contains a comprehensive summary of data
pertaining to the Site. Attachment 1 of this report provides a summary of sample
locations with associated data that were evaluated in this assessment. Sample locations
are presented on Figure 4.
3.1.1 On -Site Groundwater
Groundwater samples were collected from 126 monitoring wells associated with
the ash basin.
3.1.2 Surface Water
Twelve surface water samples were collected in and adjacent to the Dan River
and Belews Reservoir.
3.1.3 Sediment
Seven sediment samples were collected in and adjacent to the Dan River and
Belews Reservoir.
3.2 Background Data Used in Risk Assessment
Sampling locations considered background were not included in the risk assessment
EPC calculations but will be considered as part of the results evaluation. Site -specific
background locations were selected for groundwater, soil, surface water, and sediment
as described in the Section 4 of the CAP Update Report (SynTerra, 2019). Background
threshold values (BTVs) for surface water and sediment were not calculated; however,
background locations for surface water and sediment were approved as part of the
evaluation of potential groundwater -to -surface water impacts (Appendix K of the
CAP). Background surface water and sediment samples were collected at locations
upstream of source area and upstream of associated permitted outfalls.

3.3 Data Summarization
Laboratory data were analyzed and summarized using data management software.
From these data, screening tables were developed for the purposes of comparing
detected concentrations of constituents in Site media with human health and ESVs to
identify COPCs. These data were then analyzed using ProUCL (V. 5.0.00; USEPA,
2013a) to calculate EPCs of each COPC.
Page 3-2
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
4.0 HUMAN HEALTH AND ECOLOGICAL SCREENING
Laboratory results from sample analyses were compiled and summarized for
comparison with USEPA and NCDEQ human health and ESVs. Summarized data
included the number of samples, frequency of detection, minimum and maximum
concentrations, location of maximum value for each constituent, range of detection
limits, concentration used for screening (i.e., maximum result), established screening
values, screening value used, COPC identification, and COPC selection rationale.
4.1 Purpose and Methods
Groundwater, surface water, and sediment data were evaluated using screening levels
to select COPCs. Screening levels are concentrations of constituents in environmental
media (e.g., soil) considered to be protective under most circumstances; their use
requires a detailed understanding of the underlying assumptions in the CSM, including
land use and the presence of sensitive populations. The presence of a constituent in
environmental media at concentrations less than the media and constituent -specific
screening level is generally assumed not to pose a significant threat to human health or
the environment. If a constituent concentration is greater than the screening level, it
does not necessarily indicate adverse effects on human health or the environment; it
indicates only that additional evaluation might be warranted. Screening levels are used
in this report to help identify COPCs, with the COPCs then being carried forward into
the evaluation of risk at the Site.
4.2 Human Health Screening Levels
Attachment 2 presents constituent screening levels protective of human health used in
this evaluation, and the medium -specific screening levels are discussed below. For each
medium, screening is conducted by comparing maximum detected concentrations of
COPCs with one or more screening values that are applicable to the potentially
complete exposure pathways for the medium. This method of evaluation follows
USEPA's Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund, Part B (USEPA, 1991a). COPCs
detected at concentrations greater than screening levels are retained for further
evaluation in the human health risk assessment (Section 5). Screening levels used in
the screening assessment are indicated in the tables provided in Attachment 2. At the
time of the screening, the levels were considered the most recent published values.
Screening levels are routinely updated.
4.2.1 Groundwater
The maximum detected concentration of constituents in groundwater were
compared with published screening levels listed below. Human health screening
Page 4-1
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
levels for groundwater are generally derived to be protective of the use of
groundwater as a drinking water source. The human health screening levels for
groundwater used in this analysis are from federal and state sources and address
the drinking water exposure pathway. These sources, in the order in which they
are used, are:
• North Carolina 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC)
02L.0202 Groundwater Standards (02L) and Interim Maximum Allowable
Concentrations (IMACs) (NCDENR, 2013a)
• North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS)
Screening Levels for Water Supply Well Sampling Near Coal Ash
Facilities (NCDHHS, 2015)
• USEPA 2012 Edition of the Drinking Water Standards and Health
Advisories, Spring 2012 (USEPA, 2012)
• USEPA Regional Screening Levels (RSLs), May 2019, values for tap water
(USEPA, 2019)
The screening levels obtained from these sources include:
• USEPA's primary drinking water standards or maximum contaminant
levels (MCLs)
• USEPA's secondary drinking water standards or secondary maximum
contaminant levels (SMCLs)
• USEPA's tap water (drinking water) RSLs
4.2.2 Surface Water
The maximum detected concentration of constituents detected in surface water
were compared with the screening levels identified below. Human health
screening levels for surface water are generally derived to be protective of the
use of surface water as a drinking water source and the consumption of fish from
a surface water body. The drinking water screening levels are also protective of
recreational uses of a surface water body (such as swimming or boating) because
drinking water exposure is of a higher magnitude and frequency. Federal and
state human health screening levels for surface water are incorporated in this
analysis and address the drinking water exposure pathway and the fish
consumption pathway (State of NC values).

For surface water bodies that are a source of public drinking water (e.g., Belews
Reservoir), these screening level sources are used in the following order:
• North Carolina 15A NCAC 02L.0202 Groundwater Standards and Interim

4.2.3 Sediment
For sediment, screening levels for soil are used as a surrogate in the absence of
available published sediment screening levels. The maximum concentration of
constituents detected in sediment is compared with the following screening
levels, in the order in which they are used:
• North Carolina Preliminary Residential and Industrial Health Based Soil
Remediation Goal (PSRG) (NCDEQ, 2019)
• USEPA RSLs for residential and industrial soil (USEPA, 2019)
The NC PSRGs are risk -based screening levels that are based on the USEPA RSLs
for residential and industrial soil (USEPA, 2019). The RSLs are protective for
incidental ingestion, dermal contact, and dust inhalation exposure pathways.
The residential RSLs are based on an exposure frequency of 350 days and
exposure duration of 26 years, and the industrial soil RSLs are based on an
exposure frequency of 250 days per year and exposure duration of 25 years for
an adult worker. The RSLs are based on a target excess lifetime cancer risk
(ELCR) of 1x10-6 and a non -cancer hazard quotient (HQ) of 1. The PSRGs were
developed by NCDEQ by adjusting the non -cancer -based RSLs to a target hazard
index (HI, which is being used interchangeably with the term HQ) of 0.2 to
account for multiple COPCs potentially acting on the same target organ
(NCDEQ, 2015). To be consistent, the RSLs in Attachment 2 have also been
Page 4-3

adjusted to a target HI of 0.2 for non -carcinogens. The residential screening
levels are used to evaluate non -worker exposures to soil (trespasser exposures),
and the industrial screening levels are used to evaluate worker exposure to soil.
These screening levels would also apply to post -excavation soils.
4.2.4 Fish Tissue
Fish tissue COPCs are based on the surface water COPC screening process. The
surface water COPCs screening process takes into consideration the potential for
human exposure through ingestion of water, dermal contact with water and, for
some compounds, ingestion of aquatic organisms (e.g., fish). Surface water
COPCs are used in this risk assessment to identify constituents that might also be
fish tissue COPCs.
4.3 Ecological Screening Levels
Surface water and sediment data were compared with ESVs (Attachment 3) that are
designed to provide a conservative estimate of the concentration to which an ecological
receptor can be exposed without experiencing adverse health effects. Due to the
conservative methods used to derive screening levels, it can be assumed with
reasonable certainty that concentrations less than screening levels will not result in any
adverse effects to receptor survival, growth, and/or reproduction, and, therefore, no
further evaluation is necessary. Concentrations greater than conservative risk -based
screening levels, however, do not necessarily indicate that a potential ecological risk
exists, but rather that further evaluation may be warranted.
Attachment 3 presents the ecological screening levels that are used for the initial
evaluation of COPCs, and the hierarchy for the media -specific screening levels is
discussed below. For each medium, the initial screening is conducted by comparing
maximum detected concentrations of COPCs with one or more screening values that are
applicable to the potentially complete exposure pathways for the medium. This
method of evaluation follows USEPA guidance for conducting screening level
ecological risk assessments (USEPA, 2015b). Metals with concentrations that are greater
than screening levels are retained as COPCs for further evaluation in the BERA
(Section 6).
4.3.1 Surface Water
Surface water quality criteria are calculated from controlled laboratory tests on
freshwater or marine organisms that are protective of the most sensitive
organism (often zooplankton, such as daphnids) for the most sensitive life stage
(typically reproduction). The following criteria are used to evaluate the levels of
Page 4-4
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
metals in on -Site and off -Site surface water, in the order in which they are to be
used:
• North Carolina 15A NCAC 2B Surface Water Standards; Classifications
and Water Quality Standards Applicable to Surface Waters and Wetlands
of North Carolina; Freshwater Aquatic Life Chronic (NCDENR, 2013b)
• USEPA Region 4 Freshwater Chronic Screening Values (USEPA, 2015c)
• USEPA AWQC Freshwater Chronic (USEPA, 2015b)
4.3.2 Sediment
Sediment screening values, often called sediment quality values, are frequently
based on a number of databases or consensus -based studies that determine a
concentration less than which there is a low probability for adverse effects on
benthic macroinvertebrates. Many of these values were developed from
environmental samples that were "mixtures" of metals so that the actual
response due to a single element or metal may be conservatively biased by a co -
contaminant. USEPA Region 4 Ecological Screening Values for Sediment
(USEPA, 2018b) are used to evaluate levels of metals in both on -Site and off -Site
sediments. These ESVs generally represent the lowest value that will be
protective of the most sensitive species and/or life stage for sediment dwelling
organisms.
4.4 Results of Screening for Constituents of Potential Concern
The result of this screening is a list of COPCs to be further evaluated quantitatively in
the risk assessment. The risk assessment results are used to evaluate the potential risk
to humans and ecological receptors posed by constituent concentrations that are greater
than regulatory risk targets. The medium at risk is identified. Screening levels for both
human health and ecological receptors (Attachment 2 and Attachment 3) are employed,
using the hierarchy for screening level selection for each medium as identified in the
sections above to identify the appropriate screening level for each analyte. COPCs are
identified as those constituents having a maximum detected concentration greater than
the selected screening level.
The following categories are used to determine if a constituent is considered a COPC:
1. The constituent is identified as a COPC because the maximum detected
concentration is greater than the screening level.
2. The constituent is not identified as a COPC because all detected concentrations
are less than the applicable screening level.
Page 4-5
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC - Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
3. The constituent is not identified as a COPC because it was not detected at a
concentration greater than the quantitation limit; and the quantitation limit is less
than the screening level.
4. The constituent is not identified as a COPC because it was not detected at a
concentration greater than the quantitation limit; however, the quantitation
limit(s) is greater than the screening level.
5. The constituent was detected, but there is no current screening value available
(for example, screening values are not available for essential nutrients such as
calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium) and the constituent is therefore not
identified as a COPC.
6. The constituent is not identified as a COPC because it was not detected at a
concentration greater than the quantitation limit and there is no current
screening level available.
Designation as Category 1 identifies a constituent as a COPC and advances it into
further investigation in the human health and ecological risk assessments. Selection of
Categories 2 through 6 result in a constituent not being included in the list of potential
COPCs, and not advancing into the quantitative risk assessment.
This screening process results in a list of COPCs that are then quantitatively evaluated
in the risk assessments. While the CSM was developed to address potential source -
migration pathway -receptor linkages for coal ash -derived COPCs, it is important to
note that the COPCs identified from the screening process are not necessarily coal -ash
derived. Naturally occurring inorganic constituents can be present at concentrations
greater than conservative risk -based screening levels. Background constituent levels
will be considered in the discussion of the results of the risk assessment.

5.0 HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT
5.1 Risk -Based Concentrations
The human health risk assessment was conducted by identifying receptor/exposure
medium/exposure pathway combinations and, for each, developing a site -specific risk -
based concentration. The RBCs were developed using receptor -specific exposure
factors and assumptions. The RBCs are essentially refined screening levels used to
account for the receptor population characteristics and exposure pathways applicable to
each of the receiving media identified in the CSM. As such, human health RBCs are
more realistic (less conservative) than screening levels and are better measures of
potential risks. Methods for deriving RBCs, including exposure assumptions and
toxicity values, are included in Attachment 4, which is excerpted from the 2015 risk
assessment work plan (Haley & Aldrich, 2015). Exposure assumptions and toxicity
values were confirmed as current for use in this risk assessment. As previously stated,
the NCDEQ Technical Guidance for Risk -based Environmental Remediation of Sites
contains a risk calculator for deriving human health risk -based remediation goals
(NCDEQ, 2017). While this risk assessment follows similar procedures, North
Carolina's Session Law 2015-286 does not allow the technical guidance and risk
calculator to be used at CAMA sites.
5.2 Exposure Point Concentrations
EPCs were calculated for each COPC in each exposure medium (Attachment 5). USEPA
defines the EPC as the representative chemical concentration a receptor might contact in
an exposure area over the exposure period (USEPA, 1989). Separate EPCs are
calculated for each exposure pathway for each scenario and each exposure area. The
typical concept of human exposure within a defined exposure area is that an individual
contacts the associated environmental medium on a periodic and random basis.
Because of the repeated nature of such contact, the human exposure does not really
occur at a fixed point but rather at a variety of points with equal likelihood that any
given point within the exposure area will be the contact location on any given day.
Thus, USEPA states that the EPCs should be the arithmetic averages of the chemical
concentrations within the exposure area (USEPA, 2002). However, to account for
uncertainty in estimating the arithmetic mean concentration that might occur due to
matrix heterogeneity, spatial variability, and/or temporal variability, the USEPA
recommends that an upper confidence limit (UCL) be used to represent the EPC
(USEPA, 2002).
The UCL values were calculated using ProUCL software. The recommended UCL
based on dataset distribution was relied upon for the development of EPCs (V. 5.0.00;
Page 5-1
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
USEPA, 2013a). In accordance with USEPA guidance, EPCs are based on the lesser of
the 95 percent UCL on the arithmetic mean concentration (95 percent UCL value) or the
maximum detected concentration in the data set (USEPA, 2002).
5.3 Risk Calculation Approach
RBCs were developed for each receptor/medium/exposure pathway/COPC
combination. The RBCs were then used in a cumulative risk screening to calculate
potential Site -specific risks by receptor.
Both potentially carcinogenic and non -carcinogenic effects of COPCs are included in the
RBC development. The RBCs based on non -cancer effects of COPCs were calculated
based on a target hazard index, or HI of unity (HI =1), which corresponds to levels of
exposure that people (including sensitive individuals such as children) could
experience without expected adverse effects. The RBCs based on potentially
carcinogenic effects were calculated based on a conservative target risk level of 1x10-4 (1
in 10,000 ELCR. This target risk level is within the target risk range of 1 in 1 million to 1
in 10,000 (USEPA, 1991b) and is consistent with the target risk level used for the
derivation of the North Carolina fish tissue screening levels (NCDWR, 2014). Only one
COPC, arsenic, is identified by USEPA as a carcinogen by the oral route of exposure.
The USEPA has proposed that hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) be classified as an oral
carcinogen, but that review process is not yet completed. Nonetheless, USEPA does use
an oral cancer toxicity value derived by the State of New Jersey in its risk -based
screening level tables (USEPA, 2019), and therefore, inhalation and oral/dermal cancer -
based RBCs have been calculated for Cr(VI).
Rather than derive Site -specific RBCs for lead, the USEPA RSLs were used as RBCs.
The residential soil RSL for lead of 400 mg/kg was used as the soil/sediment RBC for
exposure scenarios that incorporate children: the on -Site trespasser, off -Site swimmer,
and off -Site wader. The commercial/industrial soil RSL of 800 mg/kg was used as a
surrogate for sediment in evaluation of exposure scenarios that are limited to adults: the
off -Site boater, off -Site recreational fisher, on -Site commercial/industrial worker, and
on -Site construction worker.
The USEPA has also developed an action level of 15 µg/L for lead in drinking water
(USEPA, 2012). For surface water and groundwater, the lead action level was used as
the RBC for all receptor scenarios.
Toxicity values used in the RBC calculations were selected from USEPA-approved
sources following USEPA guidance regarding the hierarchy of sources of human health
dose -response values in risk assessment (USEPA, 2003a), as updated for risk assessment
Page 5-2
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
(USEPA, 2013b), and as documented in the 2016 risk assessment work plan
(Attachment 4).
5.4 Risk Calculations Using RBCs
COPC EPCs were compared with their respective scenario -specific and media -specific
RBCs for non -carcinogens (RBCnc) and carcinogens (RBC), as applicable
(Attachment 6). The comparison is made through calculation of non -carcinogenic risk
ratios (EPC nc/RBCnc) and carcinogenic risk ratios (EPCc/RBCc). The total non -
carcinogenic risk ratios for all COPCs that might produce non -carcinogenic health
effects were then summed for each medium for each exposure scenario. Likewise, the
total potentially carcinogenic risk ratios for all COPCs that produce carcinogenic health
effects were then summed for each medium for each exposure scenario.
A risk ratio equal to or less than 1 for a COPC indicates that the COPC EPC is not
greater than the scenario -specific and medium -specific RBC. Conversely, a risk ratio
greater than 1 for a COPC indicates that the COPC EPC is greater than the RBC for the
scenario and medium being evaluated. The true utility of deriving risk ratios, however,
is to evaluate the cumulative receptor risk associated with each exposure scenario.
Cumulative receptor risk is calculated by summing the COPC risk ratios attributed to
specific environmental media (media -specific risk ratio), and then the scenario -specific
exposure area risk ratio is calculated by summing the media -specific risk ratios for all
potential exposure media evaluated under a given scenario. These calculations are
shown in the equations below. The calculation is performed separately for cancer and
non -cancer based risk ratios.
Cancer Risk Ratio = EPC1l EPC2 EPC3

To calculate the potential risk associated with each summed ratio, the ratio is multiplied
by the target risk used in the development of the RBCs. For non -carcinogenic health
effects, the target HI used in the RBC calculations is 1. For potentially carcinogenic
health effects, this is an ELCR target risk level used in the RBC calculations of 1x10-4.
Page 5-3
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
The ELCR is the probability of contracting cancer over and above the background
cancer rate. The American Cancer Society estimates that the lifetime probability of
contracting cancer in the U.S. is 1 in 2 (5 x 10-1) for men and 1 in 3 (3 x 10-1) for women
(American Cancer Society, 2019). Therefore, an ELCR of 1 x 10-4 among a hypothetical
population of 10,000 generic men would result in one more case of cancer than the
background probability total.
In accordance with USEPA risk assessment guidance, the cumulative cancer risk (i.e.,
carcinogen additivity), is evaluated against the USEPA target ELCR of 1x10-6 to 1x10-4
for potentially carcinogenic constituents. Likewise, the cumulative non -cancer risk (i.e.,
non -carcinogen additivity), is evaluated against the USEPA target HI of 1 for non -
carcinogenic constituents (that act on the same target organ by the same mechanism of
action), as defined in USEPA guidance (USEPA, 1991a). Further evaluation is
warranted for exposure areas where the cumulative HI is greater than 1 to evaluate
whether the cumulative HI is comprised of chemical constituents that act on a common
(single) target organ or on separate (multiple) target organs.
Comparison of EPCs to scenario -specific and media -specific RBCs calculated for the
hypothetical exposure scenarios and the resulting risk estimates are presented in
Table 6-1 through Table 6-18 of Attachment 6.
5.5 Human Health Risk Assessment Results
There is no exposure to residential receptors at or near BCSS because there are no
complete exposure pathways. Potential receptors off -Site are recreational users of the
Dan River and Belews Reservoir, including swimmers, waders, boaters, and fishers.
However, background concentrations of the same elements also present similar risks
not associated with the ash basin to the same potential receptors.
5.5.1 Boater, Swimmer, and Wader Exposure Scenarios
No evidence of carcinogenic and non -carcinogenic risks for recreational
swimmer, wader, or boater exposure scenarios was identified. Attachment 6,
Tables 6-2 to 6-6 and 6-10 to 6-15, present the results of the risk calculations for
the boater, swimmer and wader exposure scenarios in Belews Reservoir and Dan
River.
5.5.2 Fisher Exposure Scenario
Attachment 6, Tables 6-9, 6-10, 6-16 and 6-17 present the results of the risk
calculations for the recreational and subsistence fisher exposure scenarios for
Belews Reservoir and Dan River exposure evaluations. Modeled Cr(VI)
concentrations in surface water produced results of ELCR within USEPA's risk
Page 5-4
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
range of 1 x 10-4 to 1 x 10-6 under the subsistence fishing exposure scenario.2
However, Cr(VI) concentrations in upgradient surface water were similar to
EPCs used in risk calculations, and when substituted in the risk model for EPCs,
also resulted in estimates of potential risks. For example, the Cr(VI)
concentrations measured upgradient of the site at Belews Reservoir (0.09 µg/L at
SW-BL-D2) and Dan River (0.064 µg/L at SW-DR-TFC, were comparable to the
EPCs of 0.0766 µg/L in Belews Reservoir and 0.0516 µg/L in the Dan River used
in the risk model. There is, therefore, no material increase in potential risks for
the subsistence fisher exposure scenario attributable to the ash basin.
No evidence of carcinogenic risks from consumption of fish was identified for
the recreational fisher scenario in Belews Reservoir or Dan River. No evidence of
non -carcinogenic risks from consumption of fish from Belews Reservoir was
identified for either the recreational or subsistence fisher scenarios. Fish tissue
concentrations were modeled from detected surface water concentrations.
Potential non -carcinogenic risks from consumption of fish containing cobalt and
zinc (modeled from surface water concentrations) were modeled for the
subsistence fisher on the Dan River. Subsistence fishing, defined by USEPA
(USEPA, 2000) as ingestion of 170 grams (0.375 pounds) of fish per day, has not
been identified on the Dan River or near the Site.3 Even if subsistence fishers
were using these water bodies, there would be no material increase in risk
estimated from potential exposure to media from the ash basin. The cobalt
surface water EPC is within "background" conditions of the Dan River. The
cobalt EPC used in risk calculations was 1.27 µg/L, compared with an upstream
maximum cobalt concentration of 1.79 µg/L measured in the Dan River. Thus,
the ash basin does not materially increase the background/upstream level of risks
associated with cobalt. The average concentration of zinc in the Dan River was
considerably less than surface water standards.
217or conservative estimation of hexavalent chromium concentrations in fish tissue, the recreational and subsistence fisher exposure
models used in this risk assessment assume a hexavalent chromium bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 200 (NCRPM,1996).
Bioconcentration is the process by which a chemical is absorbed by an organism from the ambient environment through its
respiratory and dermal surfaces (Amot and Gobus, 2006). The degree to which bioconcentration occurs is expressed as the BCF.
Published BCFs for hexavalent chromium in fish can be as low as 1, suggesting that potential bioconcentration in fish is low
(USEPA, 1980;1984; Fishbein, 1981; ATSDR, 2012). The conservative BCF of 200 used here likely overestimates the hexavalent
chromium concentration in fish tissue.
3 To put the fish ingestion rate into context, a 170-gram per day fish meal is approximately equal to 6 ounces or approximately five
fish sticks per meal (see http://gortons.com/product/original-batter-tenders); it is assumed that the subsistence fisher catches this
amount of fish in the local water body and has such a fish meal once per day, every day, for 10 years.
Page 5-5
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
Neither cobalt nor zinc appreciably concentrates in fish tissue. The water -to -fish
bioconcentration factors used in the exposure models were 300 for cobalt (ERD,
1999) and 2,059 for zinc (USEPA,1999). The fisher exposure scenarios
overestimate risks based on exposure model assumptions of bioconcentration
and fish consumption rates.
5.5.3 Construction Worker Exposure Scenario
Attachment 6, Table 6-1 presents the results of the risk calculations for
groundwater exposure to the Construction Worker. The risk assessment resulted
in no evidence of risks associated with exposure to groundwater to Site workers.
No CCR constituent EPCs exceeded RBCs.
In summary, there is no evidence of increased risks to on -Site or off -Site human
receptors potentially exposed to CCR constituents that have migrated from the
ash basin.
5.6 Findings of Drinking Water Supply Well Surveys
Results from surveys conducted to identify potential receptors for groundwater,
including public and private water supply wells and surface water features within a 0.5-
mile radius of the ash basin compliance boundary, have been reported to NCDEQ:
• Drinking Water Well and Receptor Survey - Belews Creek Steam Station (HDR,
2014a)
• Supplement to Drinking Water Well and Receptor Survey - Belews Creek Steam
Station (HDR, 2014b)
• Comprehensive Site Assessment Report - Belews Creek Steam Station Ash Basin
(HDR, 2015a)
No public or private drinking water wells or wellhead protection areas were found to
be located downgradient of the ash basin. This finding has been supported by field
observations, a review of public records, an evaluation of historical groundwater flow
direction data and results of groundwater flow and transport modeling. The location
and information pertaining to water supply wells located upgradient or side -gradient of
the facility, within 0.5 miles of the ash basin compliance boundary, were included in the
survey reports.
The survey identified only one public supply well within a 0.5-mile radius of the ash
basin compliance boundary. The Withers Chapel United Methodist Church (UMC)
Page 5-6
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
public water supply well is located approximately 1,750 feet (0.3 miles) northeast and
upgradient of the ash basin.
A total of 50 private water supply wells were identified within the 0.5-mile radius of the
ash basin compliance boundary. All of the private water supply wells are located either
upgradient or side -gradient of the ash basin.
5.6.1 Provision of Alternative Water Supply
Although results from local water supply well testing do not indicate effects
from the source area, water supply wells identified within the 0.5-mile radius
from ash basin compliance boundary have been offered a water treatment
system, per G.S. 130A-309.211(cl) requirements.
Duke Energy identified a total of 47 eligible connections for a water treatment
system near BCSS. A property eligibility was contingent that the property did
not include:
• A business
• A church
• A school
• Connection to the public water supplier
• An empty lot
Of the 47 eligible connections, 11 either opted out of the option to connect to a
water treatment system or did not respond to the offer. Duke Energy installed 36
water filtration systems at surrounding occupied residences in accordance with
General Statutes 130A-309.211(cl) of House Bill 630 (2016).
On August 31, 2018, Duke Energy provided completion documentation to
NCDEQ to fulfill the requirements of House Bill 630. NCDEQ provided
correspondence, dated October 12, 2018, to confirm that Duke Energy
satisfactorily completed the alternate water provisions under CAMA G.S. 130A-
3099.211(c1) at BCSS.
5.6.2 Future Groundwater Use Area
Under G.S. 130A-309.211(cl) (added by House Bill 630), Duke Energy provided
permanent water solutions to all eligible households within a 0.5-mile radius of
the ash basin compliance boundary. It is anticipated that residences within a 0.5-
mile of ash basin compliance boundary will continue to rely on groundwater
Page 5-7
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
resources for water supply for the foreseeable future; therefore, Duke Energy will
maintain periodic maintenance of the provided water treatment systems.
5.7 Uncertainty Analysis
The risk assessment process involves assumptions that must be made due to a lack of
absolute scientific knowledge. Some of the assumptions are supported by considerable
scientific evidence, while others have less support. Every assumption introduces some
degree of uncertainty into the risk assessment process. Regulatory risk assessment
methodology requires that in the absence of site -specific information, conservative
assumptions be made throughout the risk assessment to aid in the protection of public
health. Therefore, when all of the assumptions are combined, it is much more likely that
risks are overestimated rather than underestimated.
For some media, a limited number of samples are available for use in the risk
assessment. These results might be representative of Site conditions, or the results
might overestimate or underestimate Site concentrations. All COPCs have been
included in the risk assessment without consideration of whether the concentrations are
consistent with Site -specific background.
CCR constituents not detected or constituents for which no screening level exists were
not carried forward in the risk assessment as COPCs, which may underestimate risk.
In accordance with USEPA Region 4 guidance, contact with submerged sediment is not
likely to occur and does not require quantitative risk characterization. The evaluation of
sediment data in this risk assessment using RBCs that are based on incidental ingestion
and dermal contact exposures represents a conservative approach that is protective for
an assumption that sediment becomes exposed (i.e., not covered with surface water) at
some point in the future.
Radium was identified as a human health COPC in groundwater, but no RBC was
derived. The radium EPC was 2.2 pCi/L, compared to the Site background range of 2 to
4 pCi/L and the radium MCL of 5 pCi/L. Therefore, potential risk associated with
exposure to radium in groundwater is considered negligible.

6.0 BASELINE ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT
The role of this BERA is to 1) evaluate whether unacceptable risks are posed to
ecological receptors from chemical stressors, and 2) provide the information necessary
to make a risk management decision concerning the practical need and extent of
remedial action.
The BERA was developed consistent with the traditional ecological risk assessment
paradigm: Problem Formulation, Exposure and Effects Characterization, and Risk
Characterization. Because of the many permutations of conservative parameters, an
Uncertainty Evaluation section is also included. The BERA generally adheres to the
"Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund: Process for Designing and
Conducting Ecological Risk Assessments" (USEPA, 1997) as well the "Supplemental
Guidance to ERAGS: Region 4, Ecological Risk Assessment" (USEPA, 2015c), and North
Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources "Guidelines for
Performing Screening Level Ecological Risk Assessments" (NCDENR, 2003).
EPCs for potential ecological receptors were calculated for COPCs and provided in
Attachment 7, and results are presented in Attachment 8.
6.1 Problem Formulation
The Problem Formulation step defines the objectives and scope of the BERA. This step
identifies, evaluates, and/or quantifies the following:
Identifying Prioritizing COPCs: COPCs are chosen based on the type of source(s),
concentration, background levels, frequency of detection, persistence,
bioaccumulation potential, toxicity/potency, fate and transport (e.g., mobility to
groundwater), and potential biological effects. A discussion of the first step of this
process, which is screening conducted to identify COPCs, can be found in Section 4.
Initial screening consists of comparing the maximum concentration of each
constituent in the applicable media with conservative environmental screening
levels. Section 4 discusses selection of COPCs (post -screening).
Identification of Receptors: Individual organisms, populations, or communities
that might be exposed to site -related constituents in environmental media are
identified based on site location, setting, and available habitat at the site. Receptors
are presented in Figure 3 (Ecological CSM).
Selection of Endpoints: Assessment and measurement endpoints are used to
evaluate the ecological health of a site. Assessment endpoints describe the
Page 6-1
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
characteristics of an ecosystem that have an intrinsic environmental value that is to
be protected (i.e., protection of warm -water fish community; no potential risk to
endangered species). Typically, assessment endpoints and receptors are selected for
their potential exposure, ecological significance, economic importance, and/or
societal relevance. Because assessment endpoints often cannot be measured directly,
a set of surrogate endpoints (measures of effect, or measurement endpoints) are
generally selected for ecological risk assessment that relate to the assessment
endpoints and have measurable attributes (e.g., comparison of media concentrations
to screening benchmarks, results of food web models) (USEPA, 1997; USEPA,1998).
These measures of effect provide a quantitative metric for evaluating potential
effects of constituents on the ecosystem components potentially at risk. These
endpoints are discussed in Section 6.1.2.
The problem formulation culminates in a refined CSM, which identifies the primary
and secondary source(s), receptors, and exposure pathways that are applicable to the
Site. The ecological CSM described in Section 2 was refined based on the Site -specific
information analyzed in the problem formulation. The CSM is an integral component
in the specification of the objectives and scope of the BERA, and is amenable to
adjustment as more information is gathered over time.
6.1.1 Refinement of Constituents of Potential Concern
Per Step 3 of the USEPA Region 4 ecological risk assessment guidance, COPCs
that have been retained using the risk -based screening described in Section 4
were evaluated using a multiple lines -of -evidence approach in the BERA. These
lines -of -evidence include:
Comparison to Background Concentrations: If sufficient data are available,
site -related concentrations are compared to background (i.e., upstream or
reference) concentrations.
Nutrients: Constituents that are required minerals, electrolytes, or cofactors
in the diet include: calcium, chloride, chromium, cobalt, copper, magnesium,
manganese, molybdenum, potassium, selenium, sodium, and zinc. Some of
these may be readily eliminated from the COPC list, particularly for those
that are relatively inert (e.g., calcium, potassium) or if the levels in applicable
media are comparable to levels United States Geological Survey (USGS)
report as naturally occur in the environment for a particular county or region
(USGS, 1984; USGS, 2001). However, some of these constituents can be coal
ash -related; therefore, for the purposes of this screening, only calcium,
Page 6-2
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
magnesium, potassium, and sodium will be identified as essential nutrients
and will not be included for quantitative evaluation in the BERA.
Frequency, Magnitude, and Pattern of Detection: In general, COPCs with
less than a 5 percent frequency of detection can be removed from
consideration. Professional judgment may be exercised on metals that might
have a greater frequency of detection but relatively lesser concentrations (e.g.,
compared with naturally occurring levels). Spatial patterns are also
important to evaluate.
Mode of Toxicity and/or Potential for Trophic Transfer: Some constituents
will not be transported into the food web; therefore, consideration of
persistence and/or toxicity might be an important line -of -evidence that
should be discussed in COPC refinement. For example, boron might be taken
up in plankton, but it might not present a risk to upper level organisms;
chromium might not be a concern in wetland sediments (reduced to insoluble
trivalent chromium (Cr (III)); and mercury and selenium might not be a
concern in dry soils as there is low potential to be methylated to a more
bioavailable and toxic organic form.
Exposure Considerations: Bioavailability and chemical form play integral
parts in the actual exposure of ecological receptors to metals, particularly for
solid phase metals that are not as easily absorbed as dissolved phase metals
and/or organic compounds and for constituents such as arsenic, which are
typically found in less toxic organic forms in the food chain. Yet most risk
assessments conservatively assume that the bioavailability of substances in
environmental media (e.g., sediment, food sources) is the same as the form
used to establish dose -response information in toxicological testing. Often,
the form used in toxicological testing has much greater relative bioavailability
than forms naturally found in environmental media. For conservatism in this
risk assessment, bioavailability of COPCs is considered 100 percent (i.e., metal
uptake from soils to plants, soil to invertebrates, water to fish.). Additionally,
some animal species may have fairly large home ranges/foraging areas, thus
decreasing their overall exposure in the environs of a discreet site. Seasonal
migrations might also reduce site exposure time and is addressed by the use
of a seasonal use factor (SUF) in the risk calculations, as described below.
Wildlife exposure parameters used in this BERA are listed in Attachment 8,
for Exposure Areas 1 and 3. Select wildlife exposure parameters were
updated from the 2015 work plan and are considered appropriate for the Site.

6.1.2 Assessment and Measurement Endpoints
According to USEPA guidance, assessment endpoints are explicit expressions of
the actual environmental values (i.e., ecological resources) that are to be
protected (USEPA, 1997). Assessment endpoints can be either measured directly
or evaluated through indirect measures. Measurement endpoints represent
quantifiable ecological characteristics that can be measured, interpreted, and
related to the valued ecological component(s) chosen as the assessment
endpoints. Assessment endpoints, and associated measurement endpoints,
provide information to aid evaluation of the risk framework generated in the
CSM.
The following assessment and measurement endpoints were used to interpret
data concerning ecological risks within the Site and areas that might be affected
by the Site:
An assessment endpoint is defined as any adverse effect on bird and
mammal populations resulting from exposures to constituents in
applicable media and/or prey that could result in impairment of the
growth, reproduction, or survival of the ecological community (USEPA,
1997). Prevention of these types of adverse effects allows the continued
growth, reproduction, and survival of the ecological community.
• A measurement endpoint is defined as a comparison of the estimated
concentrations, or receptor average daily doses (ADD) of constituents
(from environmental media), to conservative values known to be "safe"
when administered to birds and mammals (USEPA, 1997). Measurement
endpoints are as follows:
o For fish and invertebrates that dwell in the water column, water
quality criteria will be used to represent "safe" conservative
benchmarks in surface water (Attachment 3). Surface water EPCs
are compared directly with water quality criteria; EPCs that are
less than these benchmarks represent levels that are not associated
with ecological risks of concern. Concentrations greater than these
levels indicate that additional evaluation is needed.
o For benthic invertebrates, sediment EPCs will be compared with
USEPA Region 4 Sediment Screening Values (Attachment 3).
o For mammals and birds, the ADD is calculated for each COPC, for
each bird and mammal receptor of interest (ROI) and then
compared with a TRV. The ADD represents the "dose" received
Page 6-4
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
by a receptor, in milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day.
This dose was compared with an estimated "safe" dose, the TRV.
The TRV is typically derived from a laboratory toxicity study on a
bird or mammal that uses a soluble (and therefore more
bioavailable) form of the metal. Since these forms do not typically
exist under environmental conditions, TRVs are conservative and
tend to overestimate risk.
6.1.3 Selection of Ecological Receptors of Interest
A wildlife species that would be expected to be intimately associated with
habitat at each site is considered a ROI. ROIs are identified for multiple trophic
level within the ecosystem. The choice of ROIs is often dependent on the types
of "indicator" or "surrogate" species (i.e., wildlife that is ubiquitous and
anticipated to inhabit the site) that will also have extensively documented life
histories and a documented set of allometric parameters allowing empirical
modeling (USEPA, 1993). As such, a specific ROI may be used to represent one
or more receptors of the same trophic level that are potentially present at a site.
The selection of the ROIs is presented in Attachment 8. This table presents, for
each individual ROI, each animal's body weight, normalized food and water
ingestion rate (kg/kg body weight/day), composition of the diet, home range,
area use factors (site area/home range), and seasonal use factors (months spent
on site/12 months). The rationale for the selection of the ROIs is as follows:
Benthic Invertebrates: Benthic invertebrates serve as prey for higher trophic
level species (e.g., fish and aquatic birds discussed below). They are
ubiquitous in aquatic waterbodies; therefore, the standard used to protect
them includes established Surface Water Quality Criteria and Sediment
Screening Levels discussed above (Section 4).
Fish: Like invertebrates, fish are also ubiquitous in most open water environs
with suitable environmental conditions, and the benchmark used for their
protection of long-term exposure to chemical constituents would also be
ambient Surface Water Quality Criteria.
Aquatic mammals: The muskrat (herbivore) and the river otter (piscivore)
were selected as the ROIs, as they are common species and ubiquitous in the
southeast.
Aquatic birds: The mallard duck (omnivore), killdeer (invertivore), and great
blue heron (piscivore) were chosen as ROIs inhabiting aquatic habitats. These
Page 6-5
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
species would be exposed to COPCs though consumption of prey items and
ingestion of water and sediment. Mallards consume both plants and benthic
invertebrates and will inadvertently ingest sediment during feeding, and thus
would represent a more conservative ROI. The killdeer is shore bird, found
primarily on sandbars and mudflats feeding almost exclusively on aquatic
invertebrates. Killdeer may also inhabit and feed in open fields. The great
blue heron was chosen as a higher trophic level species that primarily
consumes fish.
6.2 Exposure and Effects Characterization
The analysis phase of the ecological risk assessment consists of the technical evaluation
of data addressing existing and potential exposures to COPCs and ecological effects
thereof. The analysis is primarily based on empirical data collected in the field but also
includes additional assumptions to assist in the interpretation of the data. The analysis
of exposure and effects is performed interactively, with the analysis of one informing
the analysis of the other. The estimation of EPCs was conducted in accordance with
USEPA ecological risk assessment guidance (USEPA, 1997; USEPA, 1998). For initial
screening (Section 4), the maximum concentration within each exposure medium was
used as the EPC; and for the refined analysis (as described below), the 95 percent UCL
of the mean concentration, or the maximum concentration in the case of insufficient
sample size, was used as the EPC. BERA calculations are presented in Attachment 8.
6.2.1 Estimation of Exposure
Exposures of ROIs at the Site were calculated using site- and species -specific
exposure models for two separate pathways: 1) indirect exposure to COPCs in
food (consumption of forage, soil invertebrates, or prey), and 2) incidental
ingestion of COPCs in surface water and sediments. Although ingestion of
surface water by mammals and birds does occur, the pathway is negligible
compared to other pathways and is generally not included quantitatively in a
BERA; however, to be conservative, this pathway is included here. In the case of
mammals and birds, the dose of COPCs is known to be negligible for the dermal
and inhalation pathways and is, therefore, not quantitatively evaluated (USEPA,
2003b).
The total ADD of COPCs for mammals and birds, therefore, is entirely based on
consumption of food containing COPCs and, either directly or indirectly, soil
and/or sediment. The dose received from consumption of prey is derived by
calculating the COPC uptake into prey from surface water, sediment, and/or soil.
Parameters used to describe ingestion rates, body weights, dietary composition,
Page 6-6
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
and home ranges of mammalian and avian ROIs are used to calculate ADD
values and are provided in Attachment 8. These allometric parameters were
developed by USEPA and were obtained from the "Wildlife Exposure Factors
Handbook" (USEPA, 1993).
The ADD for each ROI is the sum of the ingestion of plant matter, the ingestion
of animal matter, the ingestion of water, and the ingestion of sediment/soil
(intentional or inadvertent). The ADD is also typically adjusted for the how the
animal's behavior might affect exposure {i.e., the area use factor (AUF) accounts
for the fraction of home range and the SUF accounts for the time spent away due
to migration if applicable}. AUFs for selected ecological receptors for each
exposure area on -Site are presented in Attachment 8.
The general ADD equation is:
Exposure = Total Average Daily Dose = [ADDP + ADDA + ADDs+ ADDw]
x AUF x SUF
where:
ADDP = average daily dose by ingestion of plant matter
ADDA = average daily dose by ingestion of animal matter
ADDS = average daily dose by ingestion of soil
ADDw = average daily dose by ingestion of water
AUF = area use factor (area of site habitat/area of receptor home range)
SUF = seasonal use factor (months inhabiting site/12 months per year)
The ADD from ingestion of plants (ADDP) is estimated as follows:
ADDP = EPC x NIRP x OF
where:
EPC = exposure point concentration in soil (mg COPC/kg soil)
NIRP = normalized ingestion rate of plant material (mg/kg body weight/day)
OF = plant uptake factor for COPCs (kg plant/kg soil)
and:
Page 6-7
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
NIRP = NIRf x PF
NIRf = normalized ingestion rate of food (kg/kg body weight/day)
PF = fraction of diet that is plant matter (unitless)
The ADD from ingestion of prey/animals (ADDA) is estimated as follows:
ADDA = EPC x NIRA x BAH
where:
EPC = exposure point concentration in soil (mg COPC/kg soil)
NIRA = normalized ingestion rate of animal material (kg/kg body weight/day)
BAFi = soil -to -soil dwelling biota uptake factor for COPCs (kg tissue/kg soil)
and:
NIRf = normalized ingestion rate of food (kg/kg body weight/day)
AF = fraction of diet that is animal matter (unitless)
The ADD contributed by the ingestion of soil (ADDS) considers the mass of soil
(dry weight) as a fraction of the total dietary (dry weight) mass (i.e., plant +
animal):
ADDS = EPC x NIRs
where:
EPC = exposure point concentration in soil (mg COPC/kg soil)
NIRs = normalized ingestion rate of soil (kg/kg body weight/day)
and:
NIRs = NIRf x SF
NIRf = normalized ingestion rate of food (kg/kg body weight/day)
SF = fraction of diet that is soil (unitless)
Page 6-8
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019

For piscivorous receptors, the diet is assumed to consist of 100 percent fish. Fish
tissue concentrations were measured directly when possible, or modeled using
bioconcentration/bioaccumulation factor (BCFs/BAFs) when tissue concentration
data are not available. The ADD equation below is for estimating the average
daily dose to the avian piscivorous receptors. When applied to a mammalian
receptor, the dose of the sediment/soil is incorporated by adding the ADDs term.
The following ADDA equation was used for estimating the ADD of fish tissue
when fish tissue data were not available:
ADDA = EPC x NIRA x BAF (or BCF or BSAF)
where:
EPC = exposure point concentration in surface water (mg/L) or sediment
(mg/kg)
NIRA = NIRf x AF
NIRf = normalized ingestion rate of food (kg/kg body weight/day)
BAF = bioaccumulation factor, either a surface water to fish bioconcentration
factor (BCF), or sediment to fish bioconcentration factor (BSAF)
AF = fraction of diet that is animal (fish) matter (unitless)
If the recommended fish tissue data are available, then the EPC and the BAF
variables are replaced with the fish tissue wet weight COPC concentration data
(i.e., ADDA = EPC x NIRA). Each set of equations (plant, animal, soil) provides an
estimate of the expected environmental intake of COPCs as an ADD for the
specific exposure pathway. The ADDs for all exposure pathways (plants,
invertebrates, prey and sediment) are then summed to calculate a total ADD for
each receptor for each COPC.
For the exposure of COPCs in drinking water, the ADDw term is:
ADDW = EPC x NIRw
where:
EPC = exposure point concentration in surface water (mg/L)
NIRw = normalized ingestion rate of surface water (liters/kg body weight/day)
Page 6-9
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
EPCs for soil, sediment, fish, and surface water are based on the 95 percent UCLs
of each COPC.
EPCs of COPCs in plants and/or earthworms are calculated using media EPCs
with an uptake factor (UF) or from soil -to -plant or soil -to -earthworm regression
equations developed by Baes et al. (1984) and Sample et al. (1997, 1998). Data
from previously published bioaccumulation models are used to estimate
concentrations of COPCs in plants (Efroymson et al., 1997b). These data also
represent the primary bioaccumulation data for inorganics integrated into the
USEPA Ecological Soil Screening Levels (Eco-SSLs) (USEPA, 2015d).
EPCs of COPCs in fish are used, in decreasing order of importance, as: 1)
measured site -specific concentrations of COPCs in fish tissue, 2) residuals
measured in tissue as part of a regional fish advisory study, if available (e.g.,
conducted by NCDEQ), 3) concentrations in fish using bioconcentration factors
estimated from studies conducted in the southeast, and 4) concentrations in fish
using bioconcentration factors estimated from laboratory studies or obtained
from the scientific literature (e.g., regional studies that may have been performed
by US Fish & Wildlife or USEPA as part of different investigations). For the
BCSS site, BCFs estimated from laboratory studies and/or literature were used
(i.e., option 4).
Once the ADDS are calculated using conservative dietary ingestion parameters
(above), the exposure will be adjusted by taking into account the AUF (i.e., the
acreage of the site divided by the area of receptor home range) and the SUF (i.e.,
adjusting the ADD based on period of time spent away from the site). For the
ROIs with relatively small home ranges (e.g., meadow vole, muskrat and robin),
the area of the site is anticipated to be greater than their home range, so the AUF
is anticipated to be 1.0. For wildlife with larger home ranges, the AUF is
anticipated to be less than 1.0. With regard to time, as the Site is located in the
southeast, all ROIs are expected to inhabit the site all year round (i.e., SUF =1.0).
The exposure concentrations may also be adjusted for relative bioavailability (i.e.,
bioavailability of substance in exposure medium as compared to bioavailability
of substance in analyses used to establish the TRV) if regional studies/values are
available, of which none were available. For this BERA, bioavailability of CCR
constituents is conservatively assumed to be 100 percent.

6.2.2 Effects Assessment
The ecological effects assessment consists of an evaluation of available toxicity or
other effects information that can be used to interpret the significance of the
exposures to COPCs relative to potential adverse effects to ecological receptors.
Data that can be used include literature -derived chemical toxicity data, and if
available, site -specific data [e.g. ambient media toxicity tests, and site -specific
field surveys are used if applicable (Suter et al., 1994)]. TRVs, which represent a
daily exposure or dose that is considered to be "safe" for the ROI over the
animal's lifetime, are used to evaluate whether the site -related exposure
concentration present a hazard to wildlife. The TRVs incorporate the "bounded"
no observed adverse effects level (NOAELs) and lowest observed adverse effects
level) (LOAELs) associated with continuous chronic chemical exposures.
TRVs for the ecological receptors are presented in Attachment 8. These values
represent the "safe" doses anticipated for mammals and birds after chronic
exposure to COPCs. TRVs were obtained from the published literature
summarizing the "bounded" NOAELs and LOAELs associated with continuous
chronic chemical exposures of mammals and birds to the COPCs selected for
evaluation (USEPA, 2015d). The TRVs presented in Attachment 8 are
conservative benchmarks because they represent some of the most sensitive
effects published in literature, being culled from thousands of peer -reviewed
articles and intended for use as screening criteria. Both NOAEL- and LOAEL-
based TRVs are identified for wildlife (birds and mammals). The TRVs for birds
and mammals were obtained from various sources, and focus was given to the
most recent sources and/or those derived or endorsed by USEPA (e.g., Eco-SSLs).
The toxicity studies used were initially selected from the Eco-SSLs (USEPA,
2015d). Other available literature may be used to refine TRVs depending on the
ROI selected for each site (e.g., Sample et al., 1996; USACHPPM, 2004).
6.3 Risk Characterization
Risk characterization essentially involves a quantitative estimation of risk followed by a
description and/or interpretation of its meaning. The purpose of the risk
characterization is to estimate the potential hazards associated with exposure to COPCs
and their relative degree of significance. During risk estimation, the exposure
assessment and effects assessment are integrated to evaluate the likelihood of adverse
effects to the wildlife ROIs (birds and mammals).
Page 6-11
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
The risk estimate is calculated by dividing the dose estimate (ADD) from the exposure
assessment by the applicable TRV (derived from the available literature) to obtain an
HQ:
ADD
HQ =
TRV
The HQs are based on ADDs estimated using an EPC defined as 95 percent UCL of the
mean. Per USEPA risk assessment guidance (USEPA, 1997), if a HQ is <_ 1.0, it is
reasonable to conclude that there is no significant risk. Alternatively, if a HQ is > 1.0, it
does not necessarily mean that a significant ecological risk from exposure to COPCs
exists, but that further evaluation is warranted.
The HQs based on the ADD and TRV assume that the receptor obtains most of its food
from each site. A table is generated for each class of ROIs (e.g., avian, mammalian) and
each table presents HQs estimated for: 1) conservative TRVs that use NOAELs (or
"TRV — Low"), and 2) more realistic TRVs that use LOAELs (or "TRV — High"). The use
of the estimation of the HQ using the NOAEL is typically applied to individuals and/or
special status species that need to be protected (e.g., rare, threatened or endangered),
whereas the estimation of HQs using the LOAEL is typically interpreted as protective of
site -wide populations and/or communities of concern.
Attachment 9 presents protected species listed for Stokes County, NC, which includes
eleven flora species (e.g., Jacob's ladder (Polonium reptans) and bear oak, (Quercus
ilicifolia); six fish species (e.g., bigeye jumprock (Moxostoma ariomimum); blue ridge
sculpin (Cottus caeruleomentum); cutlip minnow (Exoglossum maxillingua); orangefin
madtom (Noturus gilberti); two amphibian species, Wehrle's Salamander (Plethodon
wehrlei) and four -toed Salamander (Hemidactylium scutatum); three bivalves (green
floater (Lasmigona subviridis); James spiny mussel (Pleurobema collina); notched rainbow
(Villosa constricta); one crustacean (North Carolina spiny crayfish (Orconectes
carolinensis); one reptile (timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus); one mammal (Northern
long-eared bat (Myotis septentirionalis); and the avian species, American peregrine falcon
(Falco peregrinus).
The interpretation of the risk analysis typically employs both a multiple lines -of -
evidence approach and an opinion based on the professional judgment of the ecological
risk assessor. Both interpretations err on the side of conservatism, but for HQs that are
greater than 1.0, additional details, often addressed in the Uncertainty Evaluation
(Section 6.6), may be needed to identify if the hazard is "real" or an artifact of
compounding the various permutations of "worst case" exposure parameters.
Page 6-12
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
Additionally, some of the TRVs that were developed by USEPA in concert with the Eco-
SSLs may need to be reexamined as these values, as discussed above, may not be
representative of the true exposure and/or life history of the ROI. For example, most
TRVs are based on highly bioavailable forms, but a review of the literature for selected
metals may show that actual absorption following ingestion of environmental media
may be substantially lower than the form used to derive the TRV.
6.4 Baseline Ecological Risk Assessment Results
Attachment 8 presents the modeled risk results. Receptors evaluated in Ecological
Exposure Area 1 include the mallard duck, great blue heron, killdeer, muskrat, and
river otter. Risk assessment results for Ecological Exposure Area 1 are summarized
below.
• No HQs based on NOAELs or LOAELs were greater than unity for the mallard
duck, great blue heron, and river otter exposed to surface water and sediments.
• No HQs based on LOAELs were greater than unity for the muskrat.
• Two endpoints, the killdeer and muskrat, had modeled risk results greater than
unity for aluminum as described below:
o The aluminum NOAEL based HQ for the muskrat was 3.2.
o Aluminum exposure to the killdeer resulted in a NOAEL based HQ of 23
and a LOAEL based HQ of 2.3. The exposure models likely overstate risks
to aluminum. Aluminum concentrations detected in the Dan River
adjacent to the Site are within background conditions. For example, the
surface water aluminum concentration in the Dan River upstream of the
Site was 3.9 mg/L, compared to the aluminum surface water EPC used in
the risk assessment of 2.4 mg/L. In sediments, aluminum concentrations
collected from three samples ranged from 5,200 to 27,000 mg/kg. Of these
three samples, only one exceeded the ESV of 25,000 mg/kg. Further, this
maximum concentration was less than the USEPA Region 4 refined
screening value of 58,000 mg/kg (USEPA, 2018b). Aluminum occurs
naturally in soil, sediment, and surface water in this area. Per the USGS,
aluminum is the third most abundant element, after oxygen and silicon, in
the Earth's crust (USGS, 2018), with the average concentration reported in
soil in the United States of 72,000 mg/kg (USGS 1984). The NOAEL based
modeled risk estimate for exposure of aluminum to the muskrat is
considered negligible.

Receptors evaluated in Ecological Exposure Area 3 include the mallard duck, great blue
heron, killdeer, muskrat, and river otter. Risk assessment results for Ecological
Exposure Area 3 are summarized below.
• No HQs based on NOAELs or LOAELs were greater than unity for mallard
duck, great blue heron, and river otter exposed to surface water and sediments in
Exposure Area 3, Belews Reservoir.
• Two endpoints, the killdeer and muskrat, had modeled risk results greater than
unity for select constituents as described below:
o With the exception of aluminum, NOAEL or LOAEL based HQs for the
killdeer were less than unity. The NOAEL and LOAEL based HQ for the
killdeer exposure to aluminum was greater than unity (HQ =16 and 1.6).
The model likely overstates risk. As previously stated, aluminum occurs
naturally in soil, sediment, and surface water in this area.
o The NOAEL based HQ for the muskrat exposure to aluminum was
greater than unity (HQ =1.5). The LOAEL based HQ for the muskrat
exposure to aluminum was less than unity. The model likely overstates
risk. As previously stated, aluminum occurs naturally in soil, sediment,
and surface water in this area.
Of the protected species listed for Stokes County, none of the species are within the
same feeding guild as surrogate ROI species evaluated (killdeer and muskrat).
Therefore, LOAEL —based HQs may be used for evaluation of potential risk.
In summary, there is no evidence of ecological risks associated with exposure to CCR
constituents that have migrated from the ash basin.
6.5 Environmental Assessment of the Belews Lake and the Dan
River
Duke Energy has monitored water quality and chemistry in Belews Lake since 1977. In
addition, monitoring in the Dan River near Belews Creek has been conducted since
1969. Attachment 10 presents an overview of the sampling and assessment of water
and biological tissue monitoring conducted by Duke Energy to meet the requirements
of the NPDES permit for the BCSS (NPDES No. NC0024406). Monthly outfall and
instream water quality monitoring is conducted in the Dan River.
Fish populations are key indicators of the overall health of aquatic systems because of
they are influenced by exposure to the environment and impacts to other aquatic
communities (e.g., aquatic vegetation and macroinvertebrates). Duke Energy has
Page 6-14
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
conducted fish community assessments in Belews Lake since 1976. In that time, 2,231
samples have been collected consisting of 47 different species in 9 families totaling over
550,000 individual fish. Additional sampling has occurred in the Dan River since 1987
totaling 140 samples and 1,375 individual fish. These fish have included individuals at
multiple trophic levels and different feeding guilds with a consistently low proportion
of pollution -tolerant species. The fish community sampling events in Belews Lake have
been dominated by desirable species including bluegill and black bass (largemouth bass
and Alabama bass).
Catch per unit effort (CPUE) is a measure of the relative abundance of a species when
electrofishing. During each year since 2003, the CPUE of Bluegill and black bass were
consistently near or above the 50th percentile for the region (Brouder et al. 2009), and the
average CPUE for Bluegill in Belews Lake during this time was substantially higher
than the 501h percentile (Brouder et al. 2009). These data, along with other community
metrics such as length frequency analyses and fish condition indices have shown
Belews Lake supports abundant, healthy, self-sustaining fish populations (Duke Energy
2016).
Fish muscle tissue sampling and analysis is performed annually in accordance with a
NCDEQ study plan as required in the NPDES permit. Duke Energy collects multiple
samples of fish from different trophic levels (prey and predators) annually for metals
analysis. Analytical results are submitted to the NCDEQ during each NPDES permit
renewal.
Since 2015, fish tissue analytical results have demonstrated that concentrations of these
metals in fish muscle tissue are consistently orders of magnitude less than the state's
consumption advisory over the last four years. Average concentrations detected from
151 fish collected from Belews Lake and 97 fish from the Dan River during 2014-2017
were well below the human health advisory levels for arsenic and selenium, and no
individual fish was higher than the advisory level for either element.
Belews Lake had a legacy selenium issue where selenium accumulated in the lake due
in part to the long retention time (over 4 years) to cycle all the water through the lake.
This accumulation led to reduced reproductive success in fish populations during the
late 1970s. Duke Energy implemented mitigation measures in 1984 which resulted in a
measured reduction in selenium concentrations in fish tissue from Belews Lake. By
1990, fish tissue selenium concentrations were less than the advisory level. Metals
concentrations and fish abundance in Belews Lake have continued to improve (Duke
Energy 2016). Fish in the Dan River were not affected by this legacy selenium issue.

Belews Lake and the Dan River have been monitored by Duke Energy since 1969. Over
the years, specific assessments have been conducted for water quality and chemistry as
well as abundance and species composition of phytoplankton, zooplankton,
macroinvertebrates, aquatic macrophytes, fish, and aquatic wildlife. These assessments
have all demonstrated that Belews Lake and the Dan River have been environmentally
healthy and functioning ecosystems, and ongoing sampling programs have been
established to ensure the health of these systems will continue.
6.6 Uncertainty Analysis
The degree of uncertainty depends on the amount and quality of data available,
information addressing site conditions, the accuracy of any assumptions, and how well
the receptor may match the particular life history of the birds and mammals that are
inhabiting each site. A qualitative evaluation of the major uncertainties associated with
the assessment should include an evaluation of the following:
• The number of samples obtained is relatively low compared to the fairly large
areas observed for each exposure area. Therefore, some degree of uncertainty
with regard to the spatial representativeness of each of the data sets for each
individual exposure area exists. The study design, however, used a biased
sampling strategy so that the concentrations of COPCs in environmental media
would intentionally be overestimated rather than underestimated. For example,
based on field observations and groundwater monitoring data, discreet samples
were collected from areas of suspected influence from the ash basin, such as
downgradient streams and seeps.
• Potential risks to benthic invertebrates were evaluated on the basis of comparing
maximum concentrations of CCR constituents detected in surface water and bulk
sediment samples to media -specific ESVs. Porewater was not analyzed in
surface water bodies as a potential exposure medium for benthic invertebrates.
The absence of porewater data in the risk assessment may underestimate risk for
certain benthic invertebrates. However, the ESVs used in the ecological
screening process are extremely conservative to account for porewater exposure.
• The Eco-SSLs, which were used for selecting COPCs, are very conservative soil
benchmarks that are known to be safe for a broad range of ecological receptor
classes (mammal, bird, invertebrate, plant) over their lifespan. Therefore,
selection of some COPCs might overestimate risk.
• Elements/metals (including required nutrients) present (or deficient) in
environmental media may interact with COPCs to produce effects that may be
either greater or less than COPCs alone. For example, zinc is known to be a
Page 6-16

strong antagonist to cadmium in the diet (i.e., zinc decreases the toxicity of
cadmium when both are ingested together). These elemental interactions could
result in an over or under estimation of risk.
• The dietary endpoints used to derive the TRVs are often biased toward a single
study involving the exposure of birds or mammals to highly soluble forms of the
metal (e.g., copper chloride, lead acetate) whereas the bioavailability of metals in
the environment, especially in solid media, can be much lower. Bioavailability of
COPCs was conservatively assumed to be 100% in the exposure models, which
overestimates risk.
• Food ingestion data specific for birds or mammals at each Site are not available.
Literature -derived default wildlife ingestion rates, as well as other exposure
parameters, may over or under estimate risk.
• It is assumed that part or all of the home range of the receptor falls completely
within the boundaries of a site. In reality, individuals and breeding pairs move
around depending on a number of variables, including territoriality, food
availability, and human disturbance, and this movement would result in lower
exposure than was assumed in the risk assessment.
• It is assumed that the types of mammals and birds in this assessment are
receptive to the type of habitat at each site; the ROI were selected to be
representative of what might be present in the vicinity of the site; however, the
ash basin area specifically might not be considered habitat.
• Reptiles and amphibians likely inhabit the exposure areas evaluated in the risk
assessment. However, there is limited toxicity and exposure information for
food web modeling, which presents and uncertainty in the risk assessment.

7.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This risk assessment pertaining to BCSS was prepared for Duke Energy as part of the
CAP. Risks to both human health and ecological receptors were evaluated using
analytical data from groundwater, surface water, and sediment samples. Both risk
assessments employed North Carolina and USEPA guidance available for development
of site -specific risk assessments. The exposure scenarios and exposure and toxicity
parameters employed were conservative such that the risk results are more likely to
overestimate rather than underestimate the risks. Thus, the results can be used to
inform decision -making regarding the BCSS site. The conclusions for the human health
and ecological risk assessments are as follows:
7.1 Human Health Risk Assessment
The following current and future scenarios were evaluated to assess potential human
health risk associated with on -Site and off -Site exposure pathways. No unacceptable
risks were noted.
• On -Site groundwater poses no unacceptable risk for the construction worker
under the exposure scenario.
• No evidence of non -carcinogenic risks from consumption of fish from Belews
Reservoir was identified for either the recreational or subsistence fisher
scenarios.
• With the exception of a subsistence fisher, off -Site surface water and sediment
pose no unacceptable risk or hazard for recreational receptors (i.e., swimmer,
wader, boater, and recreational fisher).
• Consumption of fish in the Dan River by a subsistence fisher resulted in HQs
greater than 1 for cobalt and zinc; however, the exposure model for the
subsistence fisher overestimate risks based on assumptions of bioconcentration
and fish consumption rates.
• Consumption of fish by a subsistence fisher resulted in an estimated Excess
Lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR) that is within the risk range of 1 x 10-4 to 1 x 10-6 for
hexavalent chromium for the Dan River and Belews Reservoir; however, the EPC
used in the risk model was comparable to upgradient hexavalent concentrations.
7.2 Ecological Risk Assessment
Based on the NOAEL-derived HQ and the LOAEL-derived HQ, the BERA resulted in
the following:
Page 7-1
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment December 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
Ecological Exposure Area 1:
• No HQs based on NOAELs or LOAELs were greater than unity for the
mallard duck, great blue heron, and river otter exposed to surface water and
sediments in Exposure Area 1.
• Modeled risk estimates resulted in aluminum HQs greater than 1 based on
the NOAEL and LOAEL for the killdeer and based on the LOAEL for the
muskrat. The modeled risk is considered negligible given the natural
occurrence of aluminum in surface water, sediment, and soil in the region.
Ecological Exposure Area 3:
• No HQs based on NOAELs or LOAELs were greater than unity for mallard
duck, great blue heron, and river otter exposed to surface water and
sediments in Exposure Area 3.
• Modeled risk estimates resulted in aluminum HQs greater than 1 based on
the NOAEL and LOAEL for the killdeer and based on the LOAEL for the
muskrat. The modeled risk is considered negligible given the natural
occurrence of aluminum in surface water, sediment, and soil in the region.
In summary, there is no evidence of unacceptable risks to human and ecological
receptors exposed to environmental media potentially affected by CCR at BCSS. This
conclusion is further supported by multiple water quality and biological assessments
conducted by Duke Energy as part of the NPDES monitoring program.

[1] - Table 8-1 of USEPA (2011).
[2] - Assumes 2 hours per day.
[3] - One -tenth of the value for swimming (49 ml/hour; Table 3-5 of USEPA (2011)) used to approximate incidental ingestion during wading in washes during storm water events.
[4] - Table 5-1 of USEPA (2011), recommended value for soil plus dust. For sediment, these values are adjusted by a factor of 0.1 to account for the lower sediment exposure potential.
[5] - Assumes 2 hours per event and that on days when play in water occurs, all daily exposure to water is derived from locations at the Site.
[6] - Assumes that on days when visitation to the Site occurs , all daily exposure to soil is derived from locations at the Site.
[7] - Based on surface area of face, hands, forearms, lower legs.
[8] - Based on weighted skin adherence factor for'sports-oudoom'.
[9] - Based on weighted skin adherence factor for'activities with soil'.
[10] - One -tenth of the value for swimming (21 ml/hour; Table 3-5 of USEPA (2011)) used to approximate incidental ingestion during wading.
[11] - Based on weighted average of mean values for 6- 16 years.
[12] - Based on surface area of hands, forearms, lower legs, and feet.
[13] - Ingestion of 50 milliliter per hour (.1/hour) of surface water should be used for exposures to water during swimming. Intake rates for exposure to surface water during wading should be 50 ml/hour for children 1-6 and 10 ml/hour for adolescents and adults.
The water ingestion rate in liters/day is calculated as follows: ingestion (ml/hr) x exposure time (hr/event)/1000 (ml/1).
[14] - Assumes contact with surface water and sediment in a seep area and/or on -site tributary one day per month for half a day (4 hours).
[15] - Based on surface area of hands and forearms.
[16] - Assumes that excvation work occurs a total of 12 work -weeks over the duration of a one year construction project and that contact with groundwater in a trench occurs for a portion of each excavation work -day.
[17] - Drinking water will be evaluated by comparison of groundwater and surface water data to drinking water criteria.
[18] - Value is the 95th percentile for Native American subsistence fishers (USEPA, 2000).
[19] - Value is the 95th percentile for recreational fishers (USEPA, 2000).
[20] - Value is the 95th percentile for Native American subsistence fishers ages 0 - 5 from same source used to derive 95th percentile for adult Native American subsistence fishers (EFH, Table 10-6).
[21] - Value is the average of mean ingestion rates for children of consuming recreational anglers ages 6 - 20 (EFH, Table 10-5).
Values are based on time -weighted average of child, adolescent, and adult exposure values, calculated as follows:
Soil
EF = (child EF x child ED) + (adolescent EF x adolescent ED)+ (adult EF x adult ED) / total scenario ED
IFSadj = (child ED x child IR / child BW)+ (adolescent ED x adolescent IR / adolescent BW) + (adult ED x adult IR / adult BW)

USEPA guidance for early life exposure to carcinogens (USEPA, 2005) requires that risks for potentially carcinogenic constituents that are presumed to act by a mutagenic mode of action be calculated differently than for constituents that do not act via a mutagenic mode of action.
Therefore, the age -dependent adjustment factors (ADAF) will be applied for calculations involving children under the age of 16. The ADAFs are as follows:
Age 0 to 2 years (2 year interval from birth until 2nd birthday)—ADAF = 10
Ages 2 to 16 years (14 year interval from 2nd birthday to 16th birthday)—ADAF = 3
Ages 16 and up (after 16th birthday) — no adjustment - ADAF = 1

Human Health Site -Specific Risk Based Concentrations (RBCs)
Site -specific risk based concentrations (RBCs) are risk -based screening levels that are refined to account
for the receptor population characteristics and exposure pathways applicable to each of the receiving
media identified in the conceptual site model (CSM). As such, the site -specific RBCs are less
conservative, i.e., more realistic, than screening levels and are, therefore, useful for evaluating whether
constituents of potential concern (COPCs) may have the potential to pose health risks above risk
thresholds. For example, whereas surface water that is used as a recreational water body for swimming
is screened for COPCs using drinking water standards which assume that people are drinking and
bathing in the water daily, site -specific RBCs for surface water developed here reflect incidental
ingestion and dermal contact at an exposure rate and magnitude commensurate with swimming
activities.
This appendix provides documentation of the derivation of RBCs. Section 1 describes the exposure
scenarios that are used to develop the RBCs, Section 2 documents the toxicity values and other
chemical -specific inputs that are used to derive RBCs, and Section 3 provides the equations that are
used to derive the RBCs. RBCs for each exposure scenario, for each exposure medium are presented in
tables that accompany Section 4 of this appendix.
1. Human Health Exposure Scenarios
Exposure scenarios are used to quantitatively describe the COPC exposures that could theoretically
occur for each land use and exposure pathway evaluated. In 'forward' risk calculations that derive
estimates of cancer and non -cancer risk, the exposure scenarios are used in conjunction with exposure
point concentrations (EPCs) to derive quantitative estimates of COPC intake or exposure. In the
derivation of RBCs, the exposure scenarios are used in combination with target risks to derive COPC
concentrations that are protective for the exposure scenario at the target risk levels.
The ultimate goal of developing exposure scenarios, as defined in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) guidance, is to identify the combination of exposure parameters that results in the most intense
level of exposure that may "reasonably" be expected to occur under the current and future site
conditions (USEPA, 1989). As such, a single exposure scenario is often selected to provide a
conservative evaluation for the range of possible receptors and populations that could be exposed
under a given land use. Exposure scenarios use numerical parameters that include ingestion rates,
dermal contact areas, body weights, exposure times, exposure frequencies, and exposure durations.
The specific numerical values for each of these parameters are selected in consideration of the receptor
activities and ages that the exposure scenarios are modeling, and are generally selected as the upper -
end (generally 951" percentile) values for each quantitative parameter. Using receptor scenarios that are
protective for all potentially exposed populations associated with a given land use, with numerical
parameters that are generally based on the upper -end distributions, result in reasonable maximum
exposure (RME) scenarios.
1.1 EXPOSURE PARAMETERS
Exposure parameters are developed from USEPA Region 4 (USEPA, 2014b) and USEPA national guidance
(USEPA, 2002; 2011; 2014a). The exposure parameters used to quantify exposures for each of the
scenarios described in this section are provided in Table 1-1.
1.1.1 Exposure Durations
Exposure duration refers to the total amount of time in years that a receptor population is assumed to
be exposed to the media that are being evaluated. USEPA has established standard exposure durations
of 26 years for residential land use, 25 years for commercial/industrial land use, and 1 year for
construction work. These values are based on upper percentile values for the length of time that people
live at the same residence (26 years), and the length of time that people stay at the same place of
employment (25 years). The duration for construction work is based on an assumption that the earth
moving and excavation portions of a construction project would generally not continue for more than
one year.
For other receptor scenarios (e.g., trespasser), the exposure duration is based on the age range of the
receptor evaluated. For example, the exposure duration for a 6 through 16 year old is 10 years, based
on the premise that an individual begins the exposure activity at age 6 and continues to age 16.
1.1.2 Ingestion Rates
Ingestion rates quantify the amount of media that is ingested. All soil, surface water, and groundwater
ingestion rate values are USEPA default values as follows:
Soil:
200 mg/day for children ages 1 through 6
100 mg/day for the trespassing adolescent and commercial/industrial workers
330 mg/day for construction workers
Groundwater:
• 0.004 L/day for the construction worker
[Note that drinking water uses were evaluated by directly comparing groundwater or surface water
concentrations to drinking water criteria, where this is a complete exposure pathway. If groundwater
does not migrate to a private well, the groundwater drinking water pathway was not evaluated. ]
Surface water:
• 50 mL/hour (applies to swimming scenarios only), 50 mL/hour for children ages 1 through 6
• 10 ml/hour for adolescents and adults (wading scenarios)
[Note that drinking water uses were evaluated by directly comparing groundwater or surface water
concentrations to drinking water criteria, where this is a complete exposure pathway. If the adjacent
surface water body is not used as a source of drinking water, the surface water drinking water pathway
was not evaluated.]
Sediment
• 10 mg/day for children and adolescents
• 5 mg/day for adults
The soil ingestion rates are intended to represent total daily exposure to all sources of soil (i.e., soil
within a yard, playground, athletic field, as well as dust indoors). In accordance with Region 4 guidance
(USEPA, 2014b), only unsubmerged sediment is available for potential exposure. Unsubmerged
sediment is generally only present along water body shorelines. Activities involving potential exposure
to water bodies, such as wading, swimming, and boating, would not involve long durations of exposure
to shoreline sediments. Therefore, potential exposure to unsubmerged sediment would represent only
a small portion of total daily exposure to soil. To account for this, the sediment ingestion values
represent one -tenth the USEPA default soil ingestion rates.
It is important to recognize that the ingestion rates used for soil, sediment, surface water, and
groundwater are based on total ingestion of those media each day. In other words, the ingestion rate
for soil is based on incidental ingestion of soil from all sources throughout a day, including soil that is
translocated indoors as household dust. The assumption that receptors who access a site incur their
total daily ingestion of soil while at the site is likely to overestimate potential exposures, particularly for
non-residential land uses. In addition, summation of risks across multiple media, such as soil and
sediment, results in double -counting the daily soil ingestion rate, since each medium (i.e., soil and
sediment) is evaluated using the total ingestion rates shown above.
1.1.3 Dermal Contact Rates
Dermal contact rates quantify the amount of media that contacts the skin and is, therefore, a potential
source for absorption of COPCs through the skin. Soil and sediment dermal contact rates are based on
the skin surface area assumed to contact the soil or sediment, and the adherence of the soil or sediment
to the skin. Skin surface area and adherence factors for recreational, commercial/industrial, and
construction work scenarios are specified by USEPA (USEPA, 2014a; 2011; 2002). The surface area
values used to evaluate recreational visitor wading exposures to surface water and sediment were
calculated as the average of 50th percentile body surface areas, for the body parts assumed to be
exposed to surface water and sediment, for males and females within the age range evaluated. Body
surface area values are obtained from USEPA references (USEPA, 2011).
1.1.4 Body Weights
Body weights are specified by USEPA for children ages 1 through 6 (15 kg) and adults (80 kg). Body
weights for the adolescent (6-<16 years) age group were calculated using body weight data provided in
USEPA references (USEPA, 2011), as the average of 50th percentile weights for males and females within
the age range evaluated.
1.1.5 Exposure Times
The exposure time quantifies the amount of time that potential exposure to air or water occurs. The
exposure time parameter is used to quantify inhalation exposures, dermal exposures to water, and
incidental ingestion exposures to water (i.e., during swimming).
Exposure time parameters used in the RBC derivations are based on USEPA-recommended exposure
times for time spent indoors and time spent outdoors (used for residential and recreational exposures),
or site -specific exposure time is provided. Exposure time parameters for commercial/industrial worker
and construction worker scenarios are based on an assumed 8-hour work day (assuming four hours of
contact with surface water and sediment in a seep area and/or on -site tributary in the
commercial/industrial scenario, and four hours of contact with groundwater in a trench for the
construction worker).
Variables related to exposure time also include fraction ingested, fraction dermal, and event -day, which
describe the number of exposure events that are assumed to occur each day that exposure at the site
takes place. For all scenarios, these parameters were established at a value of 1.
1.1.6 Exposure Frequencies
Exposure frequency describes the number of days per year (or number of events per year) in which
exposure to a medium at a site occurs. Exposure frequency parameters are based on USEPA default
values for residential, trespasser, recreational, and construction worker scenarios. Exposure frequency
for the current/future on -site commercial worker is site -specific and assumes contact with site soil,
sediment, and surface water one day per month for 12 months.
Receptor scenarios are described below, and are summarized in the CSM in Figure 1-1. The exposure
parameters are provided in Table 1-1.
1.2 RECEPTORS
1.2.1 Current/Future Off -Site Resident
The drinking water pathway is only potentially complete for those residents who use groundwater or
surface water as a drinking water source. Drinking water uses were evaluated by directly comparing
groundwater or surface water concentrations to drinking water criteria, where this is a complete
exposure pathway.
1.2.2 Current/Future On -Site Trespasser
Trespassers may potentially contact soil remaining post -excavation directly via incidental ingestion and
dermal contact. Additionally, trespassers may inhale coal ash -derived particulates entrained in dusts.
Trespassers may also be exposed to seep water and seep soil via dermal contact, and to on -site surface
water and sediment (via incidental ingestion and dermal contact) at on -site surface water bodies. This
scenario assumes an adolescent trespasser (ages 6 to 16) trespasses on -site for 45 days per year (USEPA,
2014b), for two hours per day. Given that the on -site water bodies are located on Duke -owned
commercial -use properties where trespassers are the only potential off -site receptors, it is assumed that
only wading exposures could potentially occur at the on -site surface water bodies. Coal ash basins will
be de -watered in the future, thereby removing on -site water bodies as potential exposure media.
1.2.3 Current/Future Off -Site Recreational Swimmer
Recreational swimmers may contact coal ash -derived COPCs in surface water or in sediment (via
incidental ingestion and dermal contact) while swimming in off -site surface water bodies. This scenario
assumes that a child (ages Ito 6), adolescent (ages 6 to 16) and adult swim at nearby off -site surface
water bodies for 45 days per year (USEPA, 2014b), for two hours per day.
1.2.4 Current/Future Off -Site Recreational Wader
Recreational waders may contact coal ash -derived COPCs in off -site surface water bodies while wading
via dermal contact with surface water and incidental ingestion and dermal contact with sediment. This
scenario assumes that a child (ages 1 to 6), adolescent (ages 6 to 16), and adult wade at nearby off -site
surface water bodies for 45 days per year (USEPA, 2014b), for two hours per day. The principal
differences between the wading and swimming scenarios are that more body surface area is assumed to
contact surface water, and a greater incidental ingestion rate of surface water, is assumed to occur
during swimming activities. Potential contact with unsubmerged sediment is assumed to be the same
for both wading and swimming scenarios.
1.2.5 Current/Future Off -Site Recreational Boater
Recreational boaters may contact coal ash -derived COPCs in off -site surface water bodies while boating
via incidental ingestion with surface water and incidental ingestion and dermal contact with sediment.
This scenario assumes that an adult boater is present at nearby off -site surface water bodies for 45 days
per year (USEPA, 2014b), for two hours per day.
1.2.6 Current/Future Off -Site Recreational Fisher
Recreational fishers may contact coal ash -derived COPCs in off -site surface water bodies while wading
during fishing activities (via incidental ingestion with surface water and via incidental ingestion and
dermal contact for sediment). Recreational fishers may also contact coal ash -derived COPCs via fish
tissue ingestion. This scenario assumes that an adult fishes and wades at nearby off -site surface water
bodies for 45 days per year (USEPA, 2014b), for two hours per day. Children are not assumed to
accompany adults in angling activities. However, children (i.e., family members) were considered in the
selection of fish ingestion rates under the assumption that family members consume fish that is caught
by adults. Two fish ingestion rates are used to evaluate the range of potential exposures.
Subsistence Angling: North Carolina Division of Public Health Fish Tissue Screening Levels
(NCDWR, 2014) were developed based on a fish ingestion rate of 170 g/day, which represents
the 95th percentile value for Native American subsistence fishers (USEPA, 2000). The same
study used to support this value also derived a 95`" percentile fish ingestion rate for children
ages birth to 5 yrs of age of 98 g/day. These values are used to represent the most sensitive
receptor population for fish ingestion.
Recreational Angling: Based on the information provided in USEPA (2000), a recreational fish
ingestion rate of 17.5 g/day is used to represent the general recreational adult fisher population.
Recreational fish ingestion rate data on children and adolescents is limited. However, USEPA
(2011) cites average rates for consuming recreational anglers of 7.9 g/day for children ages 6 to
10 and 7.3 g/day for children ages 11 to 20. The average of these values (7.6 g/day) is used as
the fish ingestion rate for children ages 6 to 16.
1.2.7 Current/Future On -Site Commercial/Industrial Workers
On -site commercial/industrial workers may potentially contact coal ash -derived COPCs in post -
excavation soil directly via incidental ingestion and dermal contact. Additionally, commercial/industrial
workers may inhale coal ash -derived particulates entrained in dusts. Commercial/industrial workers
may also be exposed to seep water and seep soil via dermal contact, and to on -site surface water and
sediment (via incidental ingestion and dermal contact), in the case of on -site surface water bodies.
It is assumed that an on -site commercial/industrial worker would potentially be exposed to on -site soil
for 250 days per year and to sediment or surface water one day per month for twelve months of the
year, while doing maintenance and/or landscaping activities at the site. It is also assumed that the
worker would only contact site media for half of the day (four hours). USEPA default exposure factors
are used for the commercial/industrial worker, however it is assumed that the worker would contact
sediment and surface water on hands and forearms only.
1.2.8 Current/Future On -Site Construction Workers
The construction worker scenario is designed to evaluate conditions pre- or post -remedy. This
receptor is not intended to describe potential exposures to remediation workers. Construction
workers may potentially contact coal ash -derived COPCs in post -excavation soil directly via incidental
ingestion and dermal contact. Additionally, construction workers may inhale coal ash -derived
particulates entrained in dusts. Construction workers may also directly contact COPCs in
groundwater via incidental ingestion and dermal contact if groundwater is encountered during
excavation.
The construction worker scenario is evaluated to characterize risks associated with high intensity, short
duration exposures to soil. Construction workers are not expected to be exposed to surface water or
sediment. Exposures are characterized using USEPA national standardized parameters for construction
worker scenarios, which allow for use of a site -specific exposure frequency. An exposure frequency of
60 days per year is used to accommodate the assumption that a large-scale development project would
involve soil excavation activities over a total of 12 weeks in a one-year take up to a year to complete. It
is assumed that contact with groundwater would occur for 20% of the total exposure frequency and
time (50 days and 1.6 hours per day).
2. Chemical -Specific Inputs
2.1 Toxicity Values
The toxicity values used to derive the RBCs were obtained from USEPA-approved sources of toxicity
values, following USEPA's guidance regarding the hierarchy of sources of human health dose -response
values in risk assessment (USEPA, 2003), as updated (USEPA, 2013). The sources include:
• USEPA Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) JUSEPA, 2015bl;
• National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) provisional peer reviewed toxicity values
(PPRTVs) (USEPA, 2014c),
• California Environmental Protection Agency (CALEPA) toxicity values (CALEPA, 2011 and 2014),
and
• Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR's) Minimal Risk Levels (MRLs) (ATSDR,
2014).
Toxicity values, including cancer slope factors (CSFs), inhalation unit risk values (IURs), and inhalation
reference concentrations (RfCs) are provided in Table 2-1. Chronic and sub -chronic oral reference doses
(RfDs), including target organs, are provided in Table 2-2. Chronic toxicity values were used to derive
RBCs for all scenarios except the construction worker. Sub -chronic RfD and RfC values, when available,
are used to derive RBCs for the construction worker exposure scenario. Dermal CSF and RfD values were
derived using oral absorption factors in accordance with USEPA guidance (USEPA, 2004).
2.2 Mutagenic Mode of Action
USEPA guidance for early life exposure to carcinogens (USEPA, 2005) requires that risks for potentially
carcinogenic constituents that are presumed to act by a mutagenic mode of action be calculated
differently than for constituents that do not act via a mutagenic mode of action. Of the constituents on
Table 2-1, only hexavalent chromium, based on a draft evaluation, is considered to act by a mutagenic
mode of action. Therefore, the age -dependent adjustment factors (ADAF) are applied in the oral and
inhalation intake calculations involving children under the age of 16. The ADAFs are as follows:
Age 0 to 2 years (2 year interval from birth until 2nd birthday) — ADAF = 10
Ages 2 to 16 years (14 year interval from 2nd birthday to 16th birthday) — ADAF = 3
Ages 16 and up (after 16th birthday) — no adjustment - ADAF = 1
Where a receptor group addressed in the exposure assessment spans one or more of these categories,
the highest (most conservative) ADAF is used.
2.3 Dermal Absorption Factors
Dermal absorption factors were obtained from USEPA guidance (USEPA, 2004). The dermal absorption
factors (ABScl) for COPCs in soil and sediment accounts for lower absorption through the skin. USEPA
(2004) provides constituent -specific dermal absorption fractions for a limited number of COPCs.
Table 2-3 shows the dermal absorption factors.
The estimation of exposure dose resulting from incidental dermal contact with groundwater or surface
water requires the use of a dermal permeability constant (Kp) in units of centimeters per hour (cm/hr).
The Kp values are derived from EPA (2004) Exhibit 3-1. Table 2-3 shows the dermal permeability
constants.
2.4 Oral Absorption Factors
USEPA has determined that the bioavailable fraction of arsenic in soil and sediment typically does not
exceed 60%, and because the arsenic toxicity values are based on a highly absorbable form (dissolved in
water), EPA has therefore published a default relative oral absorption fraction (ABSing) of 0.6 for arsenic
in soils relative to arsenic in water, which is the basis of exposure for the toxicity value (USEPA, 2012a).
This value will be used to derive RBCs for soil and sediment. No relative bioavailability adjustments
were for all other COPCs for soil, sediment, and water.
2.5 Lead
RBCs for lead are derived using biokinetic models. USEPA has developed risk -based screening levels
(RSLs) for lead in soil using biokinetic models; the RSLs have been derived by USEPA for a standard
residential and a standard commercial exposure scenario (USEPA, 2015a). Rather than derive site -
specific RBCs for lead in this appendix, the USEPA RSLs are used as RBCs. The residential soil RSL for lead
of 400 mg/kg was used as the soil/sediment RBC for exposure scenarios which incorporate children: the
on -site trespasser, off -site swimmer, and off -site wader. The commercial/industrial RSL of 800 mg/kg
was used for exposure scenarios which are limited to adults: the off -site boater, off -site recreational
fisher, on -site commercial/industrial worker, and on -site construction worker.
USEPA has also developed an action level of 15 ug/L for lead in drinking water (USEPA, 2012b). For
surface water and groundwater, the lead action level was used as the RBC for all receptor scenarios.
For sites in which lead EPCs exceed these screening levels, biokinetic models will be used with site -
specific EPCs to derive estimates of blood lead concentrations. The estimated blood lead concentrations
will be compared to USEPA blood lead thresholds to describe risks associated with potential exposures
to lead.
3. RBC Equations
The RBCs are calculated using the equations in the following sections. The lower of the site -specific
RBCs developed based on potential cancer and noncancer effects for the applicable age group is used as
the selected site -specific RBC. The RBCs are calculated using a target ELCR of 1x10-4 (one in ten
thousand) and a target HI value of 1, which corresponds to levels of exposure that people (including
sensitive individuals such as children) could experience without expected adverse effects. The target
ELCR is within the target risk range of one in one million to one in ten thousand (USEPA, 1991) and is
consistent with the target risk level used for the derivation of the North Carolina fish tissue screening
levels (NCDWR, 2014). As noted in Section 2, only one constituent, arsenic, is identified by USEPA as a
carcinogen by the oral route of exposure; hexavalent chromium has been proposed by USEPA to be
classified as an oral carcinogen but that review process is not yet completed. Nonetheless, USEPA does
use an oral cancer toxicity value derived by the State of New Jersey in its Risk -based Screening Levels
(RSL) tables (USEPA, 2015a).
Parameter definitions and units are also provided below and receptor -specific exposure parameter
values are provided in Table 1-1.
3.1 Calculation of RBCs for Sediment and Soil
Incidental ingestion and dermal contact with sediment is assumed to potentially occur for off -site
recreational receptors (swimmer, wader, boater, and fisher). Incidental ingestion and dermal contact
with soil and inhalation of particulates from soil is assumed to potentially occur for on -site receptors
(trespasser, commercial/industrial worker, and construction worker). The following equations will be
used to calculate RBCs if COPCs are identified in sediment or soil for any of the off -site recreational
receptors or the on -site receptors. Parameter definitions and units are also provided below and
receptor -specific exposure parameter values are provided in Table 1-1.

The soil and sediment RBC calculations for each scenario are summarized in Section 4. Derivation of the
PEF value is based on the climactic zone for Raleigh, NC, and an assumed 30-acre site with 50%
vegetative cover. To facilitate transparency of the RBC calculations, the equations above were broken
into two steps: Step 1 derives an intake associated with a nominal media COPC concentration of'1
mg/kg' and Step 2 incorporates the intake with the toxicity value and target risk to derive the RBC. This
is shown in the equations and associated calculations which document the RBC derivation (Section 4).
3.2 Calculation of RBCs for Groundwater, Surface Water, and Seep Water
Incidental ingestion and dermal contact with groundwater is assumed to potentially occur for the on -site
construction worker if groundwater is encountered at the construction trench. Incidental ingestion and
dermal contact with surface water is assumed to potentially occur for both off -site recreational
swimmer and wader receptors and on -site receptors (trespasser, commercial/industrial worker, and
construction worker) if on -site and off -site surface water bodies are present. Off -site boater and fisher
receptors are assumed to contact surface water through incidental ingestion only. The following
equations will be used to calculate RBCs if COPCs are identified in groundwater or surface water.
Parameter definitions and units are also provided below and receptor -specific exposure parameter
values are provided in Table 1-1. The surface water RBCs derived for the trespasser and commercial
worker scenarios will be used to evaluate seep water, under the conservative assumption that seep
water is representative of surface water quality for water bodies into which seep water migrates.

The surface water and groundwater RBC calculations for each scenario are summarized in Section 4. To
facilitate transparency of the RBC calculations, the equations above were broken into two steps: Step 1

associated calculations which document the RBC derivation (Section 4).
Calculation of RBCs for Fish Ingestion
Fish ingestion RBCs were derived as both tissue RBCs and surface water RBCs. The tissue RBCs are
expressed as mg/kg COPC wet weight concentrations in fish tissue. These values can be compared to
measured fish tissue concentrations (in wet weight). Surface water RBCs were derived using
bioconcentration factors (BCFs) that relate surface water COPC concentration to fish tissue
concentration. Surface water RBCs protective for consumption of fish were derived by dividing the fish
tissue RBCs by the BCF. BCFs are provided in Table 2-4.

3.2 Calculation of RBCs for Hexavalent Chromium
As described in Section 2.2, hexavalent chromium is evaluated as a carcinogen by the inhalation route
that acts through a mutagenic mode of action based on a draft USEPA assessment. In accordance with
USEPA guidance, ADAFs are applied to the intake algorithms to account for increased early life
susceptibility (USEPA, 2008). For scenarios which involve children under the age of 16, separate RBC
calculations are provided for hexavalent chromium. To accommodate the assignment of ADAF values to
specific age ranges, the young child (age 0 to 6) scenario was broken into 0 to 2 and 2 to 6 year age
groups. Exposure parameters for the 0 to 6 year age group (Table 1-1) were assigned to both the 0 to 2
and 2 to 6 year ages.
Cancer -based RBCs are derived using the same equations provided in subsection 3.1 and 3.2., however,
the age -adjusted intake factors are adjusted to include four age groups and the ADAFs, as follows:
IFSM is used in place of IFSadj, and is derived as:
IFSM = {(child ED [0-2] x child IR [0-2] x ADAF [0-2] / child BW [0-2]} + {(child ED [2-6] x child IR [2-6] x
ADAF [2-6] / child BW [2-6]} + {(older child ED [6-16] x older child IR [6-16] x ADAF [6-16] / older child
BW [6-16]1 + {(adult ED x adult IR x adult ADAF / adult BW)}
DFSM is used in place of DFSadj, and is derived as:
DFSM = {(child ED [0-2] x child SA [0-2] x child AF [0-2] x ADAF [0-2] / child BW [0-2]1 + {(child ED [2-6] x
child SA [2-6] x child AF [2-6] x ADAF [2-6] / child BW [2-6]) + {(older child ED [6-16] x older child SA [6-
16] x older child AF [6-16] x ADAF [6-16] / older child BW [6-16]1 + {(adult ED x adult SA x adult AF x adult
ADAF / adult BW)}
IFWM is used in place of IFWadj, and is derived as:
IFWM = {(child ED [0-2] x child EF [0-2] x child IR [0-2] x ADAF [0-2] / child BW [0-2]} + {(child ED [2-6] x
child EF [2-6] x child IR [2-6] x ADAF [2-6] / child BW [2-6]} + {(older child ED [6-16] x child EF [6-16] x
older child IR [6-16] x ADAF [6-16] / older child BW [6-16]} + {(adult ED x adult EF x adult IR x adult ADAF
/ adult BW)}
DFWM is used in place of DFWadj, and is derived as:
DFWM = {(child EF [0-2] x child ED [0-2] x child SA [0-2] x child EV [0-2] x ADAF [0-2] / child BW [0-2]1 +
{(child EF [2-6] x child ED [2-6] x child SA [2-6] x child EV [2-6] x ADAF [2-6] / child BW [2-6]1 + ((older
child EF [6-16] x older child ED [6-16] x older child SA [6-16] x older child EV [6-16] x ADAF [6-16] / older
child BW [6-16])} + {(adult EF x adult ED x adult SA x adult EV x adult ADAF / adult BW)}

mg/kg was used as the soil/sediment RBC for the on -site trespasser, off -site swimmer, and off -site
wader. The commercial/industrial RSL of 800 mg/kg was used for the off -site boater, off -site
recreational fisher, on -site commercial/industrial worker, and on -site construction worker. For surface
water and groundwater, the lead action level of 15 ug/L was used as the RBC for all receptor scenarios.

[1] - Table 8-1 of USEPA (2011).
[2] - Assumes 2 hours per day.
[3] - One -tenth of the value for swimming (49 ml/hour; Table 3-5 of USEPA (2011)) used to approximate incidental ingestion during wading in washes during storm water events.
[4] - Table 5-1 of USEPA (2011), recommended value for soil plus dust. For sediment, these values are adjusted by a factor of 0.1 to account for the lower sediment exposure potential.
[5] - Assumes 2 hours per event and that on days when play in water occurs, all daily exposure to water is derived from locations at the Site.
[6] - Assumes that on days when visitation to the Site occurs , all daily exposure to soil is derived from locations at the Site.
[7] - Based on surface area of face, hands, forearms, lower legs.
[8] - Based on weighted skin adherence factor for'sports-oudoom'.
[9] - Based on weighted skin adherence factor for'activities with soil'.
[10] - One -tenth of the value for swimming (21 ml/hour; Table 3-5 of USEPA (2011)) used to approximate incidental ingestion during wading.
[11] - Based on weighted average of mean values for 6- 16 years.
[12] - Based on surface area of hands, forearms, lower legs, and feet.
[13] - Ingestion of 50 milliliter per hour (.1/hour) of surface water should be used for exposures to water during swimming. Intake rates for exposure to surface water during wading should be 50 ml/hour for children 1-6 and 10 ml/hour for adolescents and adults.
The water ingestion rate in liters/day is calculated as follows: ingestion (ml/hr) x exposure time (hr/event)/1000 (ml/1).
[14] - Assumes contact with surface water and sediment in a seep area and/or on -site tributary one day per month for half a day (4 hours).
[15] - Based on surface area of hands and forearms.
[16] - Assumes that excvation work occurs a total of 12 work -weeks over the duration of a one year construction project and that contact with groundwater in a trench occurs for a portion of each excavation work -day.
[17] - Drinking water will be evaluated by comparison of groundwater and surface water data to drinking water criteria.
[18] - Value is the 95th percentile for Native American subsistence fishers (USEPA, 2000).
[19] - Value is the 95th percentile for recreational fishers (USEPA, 2000).
[20] - Value is the 95th percentile for Native American subsistence fishers ages 0 - 5 from same source used to derive 95th percentile for adult Native American subsistence fishers (EFH, Table 10-6).
[21] - Value is the average of mean ingestion rates for children of consuming recreational anglers ages 6 - 20 (EFH, Table 10-5).
Values are based on time -weighted average of child, adolescent, and adult exposure values, calculated as follows:
Soil
EF = (child EF x child ED) + (adolescent EF x adolescent ED)+ (adult EF x adult ED) / total scenario ED
IFSadj = (child ED x child IR / child BW)+ (adolescent ED x adolescent IR / adolescent BW) + (adult ED x adult IR / adult BW)

USEPA guidance for early life exposure to carcinogens (USEPA, 2005) requires that risks for potentially carcinogenic constituents that are presumed to act by a mutagenic mode of action be calculated differently than for constituents that do not act via a mutagenic mode of action.
Therefore, the age -dependent adjustment factors (ADAF) will be applied for calculations involving children under the age of 16. The ADAFs are as follows:
Age 0 to 2 years (2 year interval from birth until 2nd birthday)—ADAF = 10
Ages 2 to 16 years (14 year interval from 2nd birthday to 16th birthday)—ADAF = 3
Ages 16 and up (after 16th birthday) — no adjustment - ADAF = 1

Prepared by: TCP Checked by: ARD
(a) - The 95% UCL values are calculated using the ProUCL software (V. 5.0; USEPA, 2013a). The ProUCL software performs a goodness -of -fit test that accounts for data sets without any non -detect observations, as well as
data sets with non -detect observations. The software then determines the distribution of the data set for which the EPC is being derived (e.g., normal, lognormal, gamma, or non -discernable), and then calculates
a conservative and stable 95% UCL value in accordance with the framework described in "Calculating Upper Confidence Limits for Exposure Point Concentrations at Hazardous Waste Sites" (USEPA, 2002b). The
software includes numerous algorithms for calculating 95% UCL values, and provides a recommended UCL value based on the algorithm that is most applicable to the statistical distribution of the data set. Sample
size was greater than or equal to 10 and the number of detected values was greater than or equal to 6, therefore, a 95% UCL was calculated by ProUCL. The UCL shown is the one recommended by ProUCL. If more
than one UCL was recommended, the higher UCL was selected.
(b) - The EPC is the lesser of the maximum detected concentration and the calculated 95% UCL. Where too few samples or detects are available, the maximum detected concentration is used as the EPC.

UCL - 95% Upper Confidence Limit
Prepared by: TCP Checked by: HES
(a) - The 95% UCL values are calculated using the ProUCL software (V. 5.0; USEPA, 2013a). The ProUCL software performs a goodness -of -fit test that accounts for data sets without any non -detect observations, as well as
data sets with non -detect observations. The software then determines the distribution of the data set for which the EPC is being derived (e.g., normal, lognormal, gamma, or non -discernable), and then calculates a
conservative and stable 95% UCL value in accordance with the framework described in "Calculating Upper Confidence Limits for Exposure Point Concentrations at Hazardous Waste Sites" (USEPA, 2002b). The software
includes numerous algorithms for calculating 95% UCL values, and provides a recommended UCL value based on the algorithm that is most applicable to the statistical distribution of the data set. Sample size was
greater than or equal to 10 and the number of detected values was greater than or equal to 6, therefore, a 95% UCL was calculated by ProUCL. The UCL shown is the one recommended by ProUCL. If more than one
UCL was recommended, the higher UCL was selected.
(b) - The EPC is the lesser of the maximum detected concentration and the calculated 95% UCL. Where too few samples or detects are available, the maximum detected concentration is used as the EPC.

95% UCL was not calculated due to insufficient sample size or frequency of detection
EPC - exposure point concentration
mg/kg - milligrams per kilogram
NA - Not applicable
UCL - 95% Upper Confidence Limit
Prepared by: TCP Checked by: HES
(a) - The 95% UCL values are calculated using the ProUCL software (V. 5.0; USEPA, 2013a). The ProUCL software performs a goodness -of -fit test that accounts for data sets without any non -detect observations,
as well as data sets with non -detect observations. The software then determines the distribution of the data set for which the EPC is being derived (e.g., normal, lognormal, gamma, or non -discernable), and
then calculates a conservative and stable 95% UCL value in accordance with the framework described in "Calculating Upper Confidence Limits for Exposure Point Concentrations at Hazardous Waste Sites"
(USEPA, 2002b). The software includes numerous algorithms for calculating 95% UCL values, and provides a recommended UCL value based on the algorithm that is most applicable to the statistical
distribution of the data set. Sample size was greater than or equal to 10 and the number of detected values was greater than or equal to 6, therefore, a 95% UCL was calculated by ProUCL. The UCL
shown is the one recommended by ProUCL. If more than one UCL was recommended, the higher UCL was selected.
(b) - The EPC is the lesser of the maximum detected concentration and the calculated 95% UCL. Where too few samples or detects are available, the maximum detected concentration is used as the EPC.

Prepared by: TCP Checked by: HES
(a) - The 95% UCL values are calculated using the ProUCL software (V. 5.0; USEPA, 2013a). The ProUCL software performs a goodness -of -fit test that accounts for data sets without any non -detect observations, as well as data sets with
non -detect observations. The software then determines the distribution of the data set for which the EPC is being derived (e.g., normal, lognormal, gamma, or non -discernable), and then calculates a conservative and stable 95%
UCL value in accordance with the framework described in "Calculating Upper Confidence Limits for Exposure Point Concentrations at Hazardous Waste Sites" (USEPA, 2002b). The software includes numerous algorithms for calculating
95% UCL values, and provides a recommended UCL value based on the algorithm that is most applicable to the statistical distribution of the data set. Sample size was greater than or equal to 10 and the number of detected values
was greater than or equal to 6, therefore, a 95% UCL was calculated by ProUCL. The UCL shown is the one recommended by ProUCL. If more than one UCL was recommended, the higher UCL was selected.
(b) - The EPC is the lesser of the maximum detected concentration and the calculated 95% UCL. Where too few samples or detects are available, the maximum detected concentration is used as the EPC.

" USEPA 2005 EcoSSL
` Only a single paper (Johnson et al., 1960) with data on the toxicity of barium hydroxide to one avian species (chicken) was identified by USEPA (2005); therefore, an avian TRV could
not be derived and an Eco-SSL could not be calculated for avian wildlife (calculation requires a minimum of three results for two test species). Johnson et al. (1960) reports a
subchronic NOAEL of 208.26 mg/kg/d. The NOAEL was multiplied by an uncertainty factor of 0.1 to derive a very conservative TRV of 20.8 mg/kg/d.

4For exposure via ingestion of plants, the dry weight food ingestion rate was multiplied by the fraction of the diet for each respective media. It was assumed that the percent dry weight of plants was approximatelyl5 % of the fresh wet weight.
'For exposure via ingestion of invertebrates, the dry weight food ingestion rate was multiplied by the fraction of the diet for each respective media. It was assumed that the percent dry weight of invertebrates was approximately 22% of the fresh wet weight.
6For exposure via incidental ingestion of soil, the dry weight soil ingestion rate was multiplied by the fraction of the diet for each respective media. It was assumed that the percent dry weight of the prey was approximately 13 % of the fresh wet weight.

b USEPA 2005 EcoSSL
` Only a single paper (Johnson et al., 1960) with data on the toxicity of barium hydroxide to one avian species (chicken) was identified by USEPA (2005); therefore, an avian TRV could not be derived and an Eco-SSL could
not be calculated for avian wildlife (calculation requires a minimum of three results for two test species). Johnson et al. (1960) reports a subchronic NOAEL of 208.26 mg/kg/d. The NOAEL was multiplied by an uncertainty
factor of 0.1 to derive a very conservative TRV of 20.8 mg/kg/d.

DUKE ENERGY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF
BELEWS LAKE AND THE DAN RIVER
Duke Energy Environmental Assessment of Belews Lake and the Dan
River
Regulatory Requirements
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for Belews Creek Steam
Station (NPDES No. NC0024406) requires Duke Energy to conduct monthly outfall and
instream water quality monitoring at 10 locations including within the Dan River. Trace elements
(arsenic, selenium) monitoring in fish muscle tissue is also conducted annually in accordance
with a study plan approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ).
The study plan outlines the proposed methods for sampling, analyzing, and data reporting to
fulfill the NPDES permit requirement for fish tissue monitoring.
Current Belews Lake and Dan River Sampling Programs
Currently Duke Energy maintains a robust sampling program to assess potential effects of
Belews Creek's operations on Belews Lake and the nearby Dan River. This program includes
vertical profiles and surface water chemistry samples collected quarterly at 10 locations
throughout Belews Lake during winter and summer each year. Fish community assessments
are conducted quarterly by electrofishing 24 shoreline transects and 12 overnight gill net sets. In
addition, 24 fish are collected annually from Belews Lake for tissue analyses with an additional
24 fish collected from the Dan River. Other evaluations including aquatic wildlife, freshwater
mussel, aquatic vegetation, and plankton surveys are conducted at least once per five years.
Water Quality Assessment
Duke Energy has monitored water quality and chemistry in Belews Lake since 1977. In all,
1,700 monitoring events have been conducted throughout the lake with 133,000 individual test
results. In addition, monitoring in the Dan River near Belews Creek has been conducted since
1969 with 800 events and 15,000 test results. These water quality assessments have shown
that Belews Lake and the Dan River are safe from coal ash impacts as summarized below.
Surface water quality concentrations of three specific parameters commonly associated with
coal ash (arsenic, selenium and chromium) are well below the state surface water quality
standards (known as the 2B standards) in Belews Lake and the Dan River for all designated
uses of the waterbody, including drinking water supply. As a reference, data were also retrieved
from the Water Quality Portal (WQP) which is a cooperative service sponsored by the United
States Geological Survey, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Water Quality
Monitoring Council. Data retrieved were limited to WQP reservoir data from West Virginia,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Tennessee and river
data from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Comparison data included over
10,000 data points for each constituent in reservoirs and over 5,000 data points for each
constituent in rivers. Concentrations of these three constituents in Belews Lake and the Dan
River are similar to or lower than concentrations reported throughout the region for the
respective waterbody types.

Fish populations are key indicators of the overall health of aquatic systems because of they are
influenced by exposure to the environment and impacts to other aquatic communities (e.g.,
aquatic vegetation and macroinvertebrates). Belews Lake and the Dan River have diverse and
healthy fish communities based on years of data collection. Duke Energy has conducted fish
community assessments in Belews Lake since 1976. In that time, 2,231 samples have been
collected consisting of 47 different species in 9 families totaling over 550,000 individual fish.
Additional sampling has occurred in the Dan River since 1987 totaling 140 samples and 1,375
individual fish. These fish have included individuals at multiple trophic levels and different
feeding guilds with a consistently low proportion of pollution -tolerant species. The fish
community sampling events in Belews Lake have been dominated by desirable species
including Bluegill and black bass (Largemouth Bass and Alabama Bass).
Catch per unit effort (CPUE) is a measure of the relative abundance of a species when
electrofishing. During each year since 2003, the CPUE of Bluegill and black bass were
consistently near or above the 501h percentile for the region (Brouder et al. 2009), and the
average CPUE for Bluegill in Belews Lake during this time was substantially higher than the 50th
percentile (Brouder et al. 2009). These data, along with other community metrics such as length
frequency analyses and fish condition indices have shown Belews Lake supports abundant,
healthy, self-sustaining fish populations (Duke Energy 2016).

Fish Tissue Analyses
As required in the NPDES permit, Duke Energy tests 48-80 fish from different trophic levels
(prey and predators) and feeding guilds (open water and bottom feeders) every year for the
presence of metals —including arsenic and selenium —in their muscle tissue. These metals are
commonly associated with coal ash and can have fish and human health impacts. Results are
submitted to the NCDEQ during each NPDES permit renewal.
The results of these analyses have demonstrated that concentrations of these metals in fish
muscle tissue are consistently orders of magnitude below the state's consumption advisory over
the last four years. Average concentrations detected from 151 fish collected from Belews Lake
and 97 fish from the Dan River during 2014-2017 were well below the human health advisory
levels for arsenic and selenium, and no individual fish was higher than the advisory level for
either element.

Belews Lake had a legacy selenium issue where selenium accumulated in the lake due in part
to the long retention time (over 4 years to cycle all the water through the lake). This
accumulation led to reduced reproductive success in fish populations during the late 1970s.
Duke Energy implemented mitigation measures in 1984 (beginning dry fly -ash collection) and
1985 (routing the ash basin discharge away from Belews Lake) that reduced selenium
concentrations in fish tissues below advisory levels by 1990, and over the subsequent 27 years,
and metals concentrations and fish abundance in Belews Lake have continued to improve
(Duke Energy 2016). Fish in the Dan River were not affected by this legacy selenium issue.
Belews Lake and Dan River Overall Health
Belews Lake and the Dan River have been monitored by Duke Energy since 1969. Over the
years, specific assessments have been conducted for water quality and chemistry as well as
abundance and species composition of phytoplankton, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates,
aquatic macrophytes, fish, and aquatic wildlife. These assessments have all demonstrated that
Belews Lake and the Dan River have been environmentally healthy and functioning
ecosystems, and ongoing sampling programs have been established to ensure the health of
these systems will continue. Furthermore, these data indicate that there have been no
significant effects to the local aquatic systems related to coal ash constituents over the last 30
years.
