March 28, 2019 Mr. Dale Smith Project Manager Duke Energy 526 South Church Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28202 Subject: HF Lee 1982 (Active) Ash Pond H&H Update Summary of Supporting H&H Analyses Duke Energy — HF Lee Energy Complex Wayne County, North Carolina Wood E&IS Project No. 7812-19-0140 Dear Mr. Smith, As authorized by Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy), Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. (Wood E&IS) has revised the Hydraulic and Hydrologic analysis (H&H) based upon a full Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) rainfall event to determine if the ash basins located at the HF Lee Energy Complex have sufficient capacity for the design storm with the current outlet conditions. Background Information The former HF Lee Steam Electric Plant was located at 1677 Old Smithfield Road, approximately 4 miles west of Goldsboro, North Carolina. The plant was sited adjacent to the Neuse River and formerly hydraulically sluiced ash material into four ash basins: three "Inactive Basins" west of and across the Neuse River from the plant and one "Active Basin" east of and across the Neuse River from the plant. The H.F. Lee plant began commercial operations in 1951. The three coal-fired units in the plant were retired in September 2012 followed by the retirement of four oil -fueled combustion turbine units in October 2012. A natural gas -fired combined cycle plant started operations in December 2012. Demolition of the plant was completed in 2017. The HF Lee Steam Plant is permanently retired from service and ash sluice flow is no longer discharged into the Ash Ponds. The 1982 (Active) Ash Basin was constructed from September 1978 to April 1980. The Pond has been used to store coal combustion residuals (CCR) that were sluiced to and deposited into the holding and settling basin. The materials pumped to the basin primarily consisted of fly ash, Correspondence: Wood Environment &Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. 4021 Stirrup Creek Drive, Suite 100 Durham, North Carolina 27703 Tel (919) 381-9900 Fax (919)381-9901 • Licensure NC Engineering F-1253 NC Geology C-247 Duke Energy HF Lee Plant March 28, 2019 HF Lee 1982 (Active) Ash Pond H&H Update Page 2 Wood E&IS Project No. 7812-19-0140 bottom ash, coal slag, unburned coal, and stormwater from the plant. The ash basin is currently a single perimeter unit, with multiple internal units constructed for basin management and wastewater treatment. The HF Lee 1982 (Active) Ash Basin has operated under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit number NC0003417 issued by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) as a water treatment unit. The basin exterior embankment is regulated by NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources, Land Quality Section, Dam Safety Program as a High Hazard Dam and is identified in the regulatory program as "HF Lee Active Ash Pond" (State I.D. No. WAYNE-022). The 1982 (Active) Ash Pond has a surface area of approximately 132 acres, maximum dike height of approximately 20 feet, crest width of approximately 12 feet, and crest level minimum Elevation 88.3 feet. The upstream (interior) slope is reported to be 2:1, and the downstream (exterior) slope is reported to be 2:1.3. The 1982 (Active) Ash Pond has an interior area that was permitted and used as a "pond within a pond" where an interior dike was constructed on top of the CCR within the pond and compacted to heights that are above the exterior pond dikes. This operation was discontinued before reaching the permitted final grades when the plant was shut down. The interior pond has a small portion that is still under water near its outlet location to the secondary settling basin of the main pond. The main pond area has a 15-inch RCP riser/outlet structure that empties into the secondary settling basin; then through a second 42- inch HDPE discharge pipe that empties into the Neuse River. H&H Evaluation Criteria North Carolina's Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Dam Safety has adopted the Federal CCR Rule and per the dam safety High Hazard Classification, each ash basin is now required to pass a full Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP). Each basin is classified as high hazard by NCDEQ due to the potential for environmental impacts greater than $200,000, if the basin failed. The computer program HydroCAD Version 10.0 was initially used to perform the H&H calculations to determine whether the current conditions (revised per updated survey information) could safely pass or store the revised design storm (full PMP storm event) without an uncontrolled discharge. Previously, the design storm was listed as the '/z PMP storm event. NCDEQ has requested that the supporting modeling information be provided in either HEC-RAS or HEC-HMS format. In accordance with the new guidelines, the Hydrologic Engineering Center Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS, version 4.3) computer program was used to perform the hydrologic & hydraulic (H&H) calculations. The existing conditions for the 1982 (Active) Ash Pond was obtained from best available reports and topographic data including the Wood E&IS Hydrologic and Hydraulic Evaluation HF Lee Ash Ponds, McKim and Creed Topographic Survey (2014), LiDAR Topographic Survey by WSP (2015), and Fleming Engineering, Inc. Bathymetric & Topographic Survey (2018). The HF Lee 1982 (Active) Ash Pond is classified as high hazard, with the revised regulatory design storm for the ponds of the full PMP storm event. Based on the Hydrometeorological Report No. 51, Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimates, United States East of the 105th Meridian, Duke Energy HF Lee Plant March 28, 2019 HF Lee 1982 (Active) Ash Pond H&H Update Page 3 Wood E&IS Project No. 7812-19-0140 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Figure 18: All -Season PMP (in.) for 6 hour, 10 mi2) the PMP for the HF Lee site is as follows: • PMP = 29.49 inches of rainfall for 6 hours Based on field observations and aerial imagery, the basin was assigned appropriate curve numbers (CN) for the general condition of land covers with an appropriate time of concentration calculated for each area by using TR-55 recommendations. The storage for the basin was developed from the assumed initial water elevation to the top of dam. The storage for the basin was estimated using the prismatic volume calculation method with the elevation -surface area input data. Storage volumes were determined from contours derived from the existing conditions. Additional ponding area details can be found in the modeling results. The H&H Analysis was conducted for the proposed stage -storage conditions and Table 1 provides information on the current outlet structures. The H&H Analyses were conducted for the stage - storage conditions. The 1982 (Active) Ash Pond has active pumping (with treatment) system, that generally keeps the pond pumped down to the minimum permissible depth (approximately 3 feet in the deepest area of the basin). Table 1. 1982 Ash Pond Outlet Existing Conditions 1982 (Active) Ash Pond Characteristic Main Pond Polishing Pond Dike Crest Elevation (ft) 88.3 88.3 Culvert Diameter (in) 18 42 Riser/Culvert Elevation (ft) 84.0 81.0 Culvert Material RCP HDPE The settling pond outlets into the Neuse River, and the outlet pipe is in the 100-year floodway and below the 100-year flood elevation. Thus, the pond discharge will be affected by the river tailwater. The initial river elevation was assumed to be the 100-year flood elevation of 80.5 feet, and the river drawdown was estimated using stage data during Hurricane Floyd. The basin is partially filled with ash, and stormwater would likely infiltrate into the underlying ash material during a storm event. However, for the purpose of this analysis, it is assumed that no infiltration occurs. A minimum time of concentration (Tc) was calculated for the pond consistent with T-55 methods in HydroCAD. The length of the flow paths of sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, and channel flow as well as slope and channel characteristics were determined based on the topography, which is consistent with TR-55 recommendations. Additional details on time of concentration for each pond can be found in the modeling HydroCAD results. The storage for each basin was estimated using the prismatic volume calculation method with the elevation - surface area input data. Storage volumes for the 1982 (Active) Ash Pond were determined from contours derived from McKim and Creed Topographic Survey (2014), Fleming Engineering, Inc. Duke Energy HF Lee Plant March 28, 2019 HF Lee 1982 (Active) Ash Pond H&H Update Page 4 Wood E&IS Project No. 7812-19-0140 Bathymetric & Topographic Survey (2018), and WSP LIDAR Topography Survey (2014). Additional ponding area details can be found in the modeling results. Wood E&IS assumed a Type II storm distribution for the 6-hr peak hydrograph. In order to support the request by NCDEQ to model the basin in HEC-HMS format, the existing hydraulic models created in HydroCAD were re-created using HEC-HMS version 4.3. The HEC- HMS models were developed using inputs from the existing HydroCAD models to the greatest extent possible. At a minimum, the following inputs required for the development of the HEC- HMS model were utilized: • Rainfall data, curve numbers, time of concentration for hydrologic computations • Stage -Storage rating curves for the ash ponds • Outlet rating curves H&H Summary Using the information above and the design storm hydrograph, Wood E&IS completed the H&H Analyses using HEC-HMS version 4.3 and ran the models for 360 hours (15 days) to allow sufficient time for 80% drawdown. The results of the analyses are shown below in Table 2. Analysis of the current conditions for the design storm (PMP storm event) in the 1982 (Active) Ash Pond indicate the basin has the ability to safely contain the design storm (PMP storm event) and safely pass the inflow volume through the existing discharge structures.

Based upon the existing conditions, the Main Ash Basin safely stores and passes the design storm event, with flow entering the Finishing Pond. The existing conditions release more than 80% of the inflow to the Main Ash Basin within 15 days after the design storm begins. The Finishing Pond safely stores and passes the design storm event, with flow entering the Neuse River. The existing conditions release more than 80% of the inflow to the Finishing Pond within 15 days after the design storm begins. Thus, Duke Energy March 28, 2019 Page 5 HF Lee Plant HF Lee 1982 (Active) Ash Pond H&H Update Wood E&IS Project No. 7812-19-0140 the current structures are compliant with 15A NCAC 2K.0205. The results for the calculations are attached. Conclusion Based on the results of this study and considering the conservative assumption made (no infiltration) Wood E&IS concludes the existing conditions for the 1982 Ash Basin will safely pass the design storm (full PMP storm event) without an uncontrolled discharge and meets the drawdown requirements per 15A NCAC 2K 0.0205.

The HF Lee Steam Plant is permanently retired from service and ash sluice flow is no longer discharged into the Ash Ponds. The Inactive Ash Ponds 1 and 2 area is located in the northwest corner of the plant site adjacent to the Neuse River on the east side of the ponds and adjacent to a tributary stream (Halfmile Branch) to the Neuse on the south side of the ponds. Ash Pond 2 was constructed as an addition to the east side of Ash Pond 1.

The approximate total combined dike length of 11,900 feet (7,700 feet for the exterior dike crest). The upstream (interior) slope is reported to be in the range of about 2 (horizontal):1 (vertical) to 3 (horizontal):1 (vertical), and the downstream (exterior) slope is reported to be in the range of 1.5 to 2:1. There is a common dike separating the two pond areas; but Pond 1 has no outlet structure and the two work as a combined pond based on the information found. The original discharge outlet structure for the combined Ash Ponds 1/2 is located in the southeast corner and is filled with soil and organic debris. The structure is not functional, and the outlet could not be located. A secondary retention basin had 2 pipes that formerly exited the basin (one steel and one RCP) with both emptying to the Neuse River. The steel outlet pipe was removed in 2015. The RCP riser piping and discharge piping beneath the dike were also removed in 2015. The Ash Ponds 1/2 area has been inactive since the late 1960s and is currently dry. Recent inspection reports indicate the interior of Ash Ponds 1/2 is filled with sedimented ash which is overgrown by mature trees and brush. The dike slopes are also overgrown with brush and trees. There is no standing water reported within the Ash Pond area. It is our understanding that these inactive ponds do not have NPDES permits nor are they regulated under the NC Dam Safety program (non -jurisdictional) but are on the DENR inventory list as WAYNE-031 and Wayne-032, respectively. The Ash Pond 3 area is located south of Ash Ponds 1/2 and is adjacent to the Neuse River running along the east side of the basin. From review of limited available descriptive information, this Ash Pond 3 has a surface area of about 87 acres, estimated maximum dike height in the range of 8 to10 feet, and average crest width approximately 12 feet; estimated crest level is approximately Elevation 78.5 to 81 feet based on survey data for the site. The dike length is approximately 8,000 feet. The upstream (interior) slope is reported to be in the range of 2:1 to 3:1, and the downstream (exterior) slope is reported to be 2:1 to 3:1. The original discharge outlet structure for the Ash Pond 3 area was formerly located in the southeast corner of the pond, was blocked by fill and debris, and was not functional. The riser structure and discharge pipe beneath the dike were removed in 2015. Recent inspection reports indicate the interior of the Ash Pond is filled with sedimented ash which is overgrown by trees and brush. The Ash pond area is dry and has been inactive since about 1980. The south and west dike areas are inaccessible by vehicle and are covered with thick vegetation and trees. These areas also have an uneven and inconsistent dike crest. It is our understanding that this inactive pond does not have NPDES permits nor is regulated under the NC Dam Safety program (non -jurisdictional) but is listed on the DENR inventory list as WAYNE-033. H&H Evaluation Criteria The computer program HydroCAD Version 10.0 was used to perform the H&H calculations to determine if the current conditions could safely store and pass the revised design storm (full PMP storm event) without an uncontrolled discharge. Duke Energy HF Lee Plant March 28, 2019 HF Lee Inactive Ash Ponds H&H Update Page 3 Wood E&IS Project No. 7812-19-0140 The existing conditions for the Ash Ponds was obtained from best available reports and topographic data including the Wood E&IS Hydrologic and Hydraulic Evaluation HF Lee Ash Ponds, McKim and Creed Topographic Survey (2014), and LiDAR Topographic Survey by WSP (2015). The HF Lee Inactive Ash Ponds are classified as high hazard, with the revised regulatory design storm for the ponds of the full PMP storm event. Based on the Hydrometeorological Report No. 51, Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimates, United States East of the 105th Meridian, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Figure 18: All -Season PMP (in.) for 6 hour, 10 miz) the PMP for the HF Lee site is as follows: • PMP = 29.49 inches of rainfall for 6 hours Based on field observations and aerial imagery, the basins were assigned appropriate curve numbers (CN) for the general condition of land covers with an appropriate time of concentration calculated for each area by using TR-55 recommendations. The storage for each basin was developed from the assumed top of ash elevation to the top of dam. The storage for the basin was estimated using the prismatic volume calculation method with the elevation -surface area input data. Storage volumes were determined from contours derived from the existing conditions. Additional ponding area details can be found in the modeling results. The H&H Analysis was conducted for the proposed stage -storage conditions. There are no outlet structures in the three Inactive Ash Basins. The H&H Analyses were conducted for the stage - storage conditions. Wood E&IS assumed a Type II storm distribution for the 6-hr peak hydrograph. H&H Summary Using the information above and the design storm hydrograph, Wood E&IS completed the H&H Analyses running the models for 240 hours (10 days). Results of the analyses are shown below in Table 1. The current conditions fail to contain and pass the design storm (PMP storm event) in all three of the Inactive Ash Basins. Table 1.

Based upon the existing conditions, the three Inactive Ash Basins all overtop during the design storm event. The existing conditions do release over 80% of the inflow within 15 days after the design storm begins. Thus, the current structures are compliant with 15A NCAC 2K.0205.

October 11, 2019 Mr. Dale Smith Project Manager Duke Energy 526 South Church Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28202 Subject: Hydrology and Hydraulics Analysis Summary Report HF Lee Energy Complex Ash Basin Decommissioning Duke Energy — HF Lee Steam Station Wayne County, North Carolina Wood Project No. 7812180091 Dear Mr. Smith, As part of the decommissioning plan for the HF Lee Ash Basins, Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. (Wood) has prepared this Hydraulic and Hydrologic analysis (H&H) summary report. This H&H summary represents the HF Lee Ash Basins in the proposed decommissioned condition. Background Information The former HF Lee Steam Electric Plant was located at 1677 Old Smithfield Road, approximately 4 miles west of Goldsboro, North Carolina. The plant was sited adjacent to the Neuse River and formerly hydraulically sluiced ash material into four ash basins: three "Inactive Basins" west of and across the Neuse River from the plant and one "Active Basin" east of and across the Neuse River from the plant. The H.F. Lee plant began commercial operations in 1951. The three coal- fired units in the plant were retired in September 2012 followed by the retirement of four oil -fueled combustion turbine units in October 2012. A natural gas -fired combined cycle plant started operations in December 2012. Demolition of the plant was completed in 2017. The HF Lee Steam Plant is permanently retired from service and ash sluice flow is no longer discharged into the Ash Ponds. The Inactive Ash Ponds 1 and 2 area is located in the northwest corner of the plant site adjacent to the Neuse River on the east side of the ponds and adjacent to a tributary stream (Halfmile Branch) to the Neuse on the south side of the ponds. Ash Pond 2 was constructed as an addition to the east side of Ash Pond 1. From review of limited available descriptive information, these Ash Ponds have a combined available surface area of about 76 acres, estimated maximum dike height that ranges from 5 to15 feet, and crest width in the range of 14 to 20 feet; crest level is Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. 4021 Stirrup Creek Drive, Suite 100 Durham, North Carolina 27703 Tel (919) 381-9900 Fax (919) 381-9901 www.woodi)lc.com Licensure: NC Engineering F-1253 NC Geology C-247 Duke Energy HF Lee Energy Complex October 11, 2019 Hydrology and Hydraulics Analysis Summary Report Page 2 Wood Project No. 7812180091 approximately Elevation 78.5 to 82 feet based on survey data for the site. The approximate total combined dike length of 11,900 feet (7,700 feet for the exterior dike crest). The upstream (interior) slope is reported to be in the range of about 2 (horizontal):1 (vertical) to 3 (horizontal):1 (vertical), and the downstream (exterior) slope is reported to be in the range of 1.5 to 2:1. There is a common dike separating the two pond areas; but Pond 1 has no outlet structure and the two work as a combined pond based on the information found. The original discharge outlet structure for the combined Ash Ponds 1/2 is located in the southeast corner and is filled with soil and organic debris. The structure is not functional, and the outlet could not be located. A secondary retention basin had 2 pipes that formerly exited the basin (one steel and one RCP) with both emptying to the Neuse River. The steel outlet pipe was removed in 2015. The RCP riser piping and discharge piping beneath the dike were also removed in 2015. The Ash Ponds 1/2 area has been inactive since the late 1960s and is currently dry. Recent inspection reports indicate the interior of Ash Ponds 1/2 is filled with sedimented ash which is overgrown by mature trees and brush. The dike slopes are also overgrown with brush and trees. There is no standing water reported within the Ash Pond area. It is our understanding that these inactive ponds do not have NPDES permits nor are they regulated under the NC Dam Safety program (non -jurisdictional) but are on the DENR inventory list as WAYNE-031 and Wayne-032, respectively. The Ash Pond 3 area is located south of Ash Ponds 1/2 and is adjacent to the Neuse River running along the east side of the basin. From review of limited available descriptive information, this Ash Pond 3 has a surface area of about 87 acres, estimated maximum dike height in the range of 8 to10 feet, and average crest width approximately 12 feet; estimated crest level is approximately Elevation 78.5 to 81 feet based on survey data for the site. The dike length is approximately 8,000 feet. The upstream (interior) slope is reported to be in the range of 2:1 to 3:1, and the downstream (exterior) slope is reported to be 2:1 to 3:1. The original discharge outlet structure for the Ash Pond 3 area was formerly located in the southeast corner of the pond, was blocked by fill and debris, and was not functional. The riser structure and discharge pipe beneath the dike were removed in 2015. Recent inspection reports indicate the interior of the Ash Pond is filled with sedimented ash which is overgrown by trees and brush. The Ash pond area is dry and has been inactive since about 1980. The south and west dike areas are inaccessible by vehicle and are covered with thick vegetation and trees. These areas also have an uneven and inconsistent dike crest. It is our understanding that this inactive pond does not have NPDES permits nor is regulated under the NC Dam Safety program (non - jurisdictional) but is listed on the DENR inventory list as WAYNE-033. H&H Evaluation Criteria The computer program HydroCAD was used to perform the H&H calculations to route the design storm through the ash basin, to identify the hydraulic conditions within the basin for the proposed decommissioned condition. Duke Energy HF Lee Energy Complex October 11, 2019 Hydrology and Hydraulics Analysis Summary Report Page 3 Wood Project No. 7812180091 The 1982 Active Ash Basin, in the decommissioned conditions, will consist of the basin dikes with an opening (breach) in the southern dike section. The dike opening is designed to be approximately 550 feet wide, cut to an elevation of 70 feet. The Inactive Ash Basins 1 and 2, in the decommissioned conditions, will consist of the basin dikes with an opening (breach) in the eastern dike section. The dike opening is designed to be approximately 100 feet wide, cut to an elevation of 72 feet. The Inactive Ash Basin 3, in the decommissioned conditions, will consist of the basin dikes with an opening (breach) in the northern dike section. The dike opening is designed to be approximately 100 feet wide, cut to an elevation of 72 feet. The HF Lee Ash Ponds design storm for the decommissioned condition is the 100-year storm event, which equates to 9.59 inches of rainfall for a twenty four (24) hour period. H&H Summary Using the information above and the design storm hydrograph, the design storm safely passes the decommissioned condition for the basin. A summary of the H&H modeling is provided in Table 1 Table 1 - H&H Results Results for Decommissioned Condition 1982 Active Ash Basin Inactive Basin 1/2 Inactive Basin 3 Peak Water Elevation (ft) 71.96 73.96 71.94 Weir (Opening) Elevation (ft) 70 72 70 Dike Crest Elevation (ft) 88.3 78.5 77.6 Pond Freeboard (ft) 16.34 4.54 5.66 Peak Discharge Rate (ft3/s) 966.25 683.59 925.8 Peak Velocity (ft/s) 3.77 0.63 4.51 Duke Energy October 11, 2019 Page 4 Conclusion HF Lee Energy Complex Hydrology and Hydraulics Analysis Summary Report Wood Project No. 7812180091 Based on the results of this H&H analysis, Wood concludes that the decommissioned ash basin with safely pass the design storm event without overtopping the remaining dike remnants. Furthermore, the discharge velocity through the dike opening should not cause erosive conditions across the weir section or adjacent dike slopes. Closing Wood appreciates the opportunity to offer our services on this project. If you have any questions concerning this response, please contact us.
