1.0 INTRODUCTION
SynTerra
At the request of Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy), SynTerra Corporation
(SynTerra) updated background threshold values (BTVs) pertaining to constituents
monitored in groundwater and unsaturated soil at the Duke Energy W.H.
Weatherspoon Power Plant (Weatherspoon, Site) (Table 1). This report includes an
attachment titled, "Background Threshold Value Statistical Outlier Evaluation —
Weatherspoon Power Plant, March 25, 2020" prepared by Arcadis U.S., Inc (Arcadis). The
Arcadis attachment (Attachment 1) provides a detailed evaluation of extreme outlier
concentrations identified in the background datasets for groundwater and unsaturated
soil. Arcadis evaluated background groundwater and unsaturated soil data using
multiple lines of evidence that considered broader Site geochemical conditions and
statistical analysis of individual constituents.
Duke Energy previously submitted BTVs to the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) in two separate technical memorandums (TM):
• Background Threshold Values for Groundwater, Weatherspoon Power Plant —
Lumberton, NC (September 5, 2017)
• Background Threshold Values for Soil, Weatherspoon Power Plant — Lumberton, NC
(September 5, 2017)
NCDEQ provided response to those BTVs in the letter — "Approval of Provisional
Background Threshold Values for Allen Steam Station, Asheville Steam Electric Plant,
Buck Combined Cycle Station, Cape Fear Steam Electric Plant, James E. Rogers Energy
Complex, Dan River Combined Cycle Station, H.F. Lee Energy Complex, Marshall
Steam Station, L.V. Sutton Energy Complex, and W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant"
(Zimmerman to Draovitch, October 11, 2017).
The groundwater BTVs provided in the September 5, 2017 TM (Table 1) were
statistically derived using a background dataset that:
• Included concentration data from background groundwater samples collected
from March 2015 to March 2017
• Did not include any extreme outlier concentrations even when those
concentrations were valid results not caused by sampling error or laboratory
analytical error

SynTerra
No unsaturated soil BTVs provided in the September 5, 2017 TM (Table 2) because no
background unsaturated soil samples had been collected from the Site.
The updated groundwater BTVs presented in this report (Table 1) were derived using
an augmented background dataset (Table 3) that included:
• Concentration data from background groundwater samples collected from
March 2010 to January 2020
• Extreme outlier concentrations not caused by sampling error or laboratory
analytical error
The updated unsaturated soil BTVs presented in this report (Table 2) were derived
using an augmented background dataset (Table 4) that included:
• Concentration data from background unsaturated soil samples
• Extreme outlier concentrations not caused by sampling error or laboratory
analytical error
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this report is to:
• Present updated BTVs pertaining to constituents monitored in groundwater and
unsaturated soil at Weatherspoon
• Document the statistical approach used to derive updated BTVs
• Document data excluded from statistical evaluations
• Document the approach used to screen background datasets for extreme
statistical outliers

2.0 BACKGROUND GROUNDWATER AND SOIL DATASETS
2.1 Groundwater
Two distinct hydrogeologic flow zones at Weatherspoon have been identified
(SynTerra, 2015):
• Surficial flow zone
• Peedee flow zone
The surficial flow zone represents the uppermost flow zone at Weatherspoon. The
surficial flow zone consists of undifferentiated Coastal Plain deposits (surficial deposits)
and Yorktown Formation deposits (SynTerra, 2015).
Historically, it was assumed that groundwater in surficial deposits and groundwater in
Yorktown Formation deposits represented two distinct hydrogeologic flow zones
(SynTerra, 2015). In response to that assumption, separate sets of BTVs were calculated
for the surficial flow zone and the lower Yorktown flow zone in 2017 (Table 1). As
additional data have been collected over time, it has been determined that surficial flow
zone groundwater and lower Yorktown flow zone groundwater represent a single flow
zone (collectively referred to as the surficial flow zone) instead of two distinct flow
zones. As a result of that conclusion, background data from the surficial flow zone and
background data from the lower Yorktown flow zone were pooled together to represent
a single background dataset. That background dataset was used to calculate the
updated BTVs pertaining to constituents monitored in groundwater at the Site
(Table 1).
The background groundwater dataset for each of the distinct flow zones consists of
concentration data pooled across background monitoring wells installed within those
flow zones (Table 3). Well installations occurred within each flow zone at locations
where coal ash management or storage does not affect groundwater quality. In
accordance with NCDEQ guidance, the following sample data were not included in the
background groundwater datasets:
• Samples with a recorded groundwater pH greater than 8.5 standard units
• Samples with a recorded groundwater turbidity greater than 10
nephelometric turbidity units
• Samples that had no record of groundwater turbidity or pH
• Samples (autocorrelated) collected less than 60 days after the previous sample
was collected

• Non -detect values greater than Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code,
Subchapter 02L, Groundwater Classification and Standards or Interim Maximum
Allowable Concentrations listed in 15A North Carolina Administrative Code
02L .0202
NCDEQ requirements regarding the exclusion of groundwater sample data were
outlined in letters and through email communication:
• Letter - "Request for Additional Information regarding Statistical Methods
for Developing Reference Background Concentrations for Groundwater and
Soil at Coal Ash Facilities" (HDR Engineering, Inc. and SynTerra, January
2017) (Zimmerman to Draovitch, April 2017)
• Letter — "Duke Energy Submittal - Background Soil and Groundwater

• Email — "Duke Energy Comments: Technical Memorandum, Statistical
Methods for Developing Reference background Concentrations for
Groundwater at Coal Ash Facilities, HDR, October 2016" (Lanter to Sullivan,
November 2016)
2.2 Unsaturated Soil
Background unsaturated soil samples were collected from borings at locations where
coal ash management or storage has not affected soil quality. The background
unsaturated soil dataset consists of concentration data pooled across sampling locations
and across multiple depth intervals (Table 4). In accordance with NCDEQ guidance, the
following soil sample data were not included in the background unsaturated soil
dataset:
• Samples collected from depths shallower than 0.5 feet below ground surface
(bgs)
• Samples collected from depths deeper than 1 foot above the top of the
seasonal high-water table
• Samples collected from depths deeper than the top of water table
• Non -detect values greater than preliminary soil remediation goals for
protection of groundwater
NCDEQ requirements regarding the exclusion of soil sample data were outlined in the
following letters:

2.3 Extreme Outlier Concentrations
Extreme outlier concentrations in the background groundwater datasets and the
background unsaturated soil dataset were retained when data validation and
geochemical analysis of background constituent concentrations indicated that those
outlying concentrations did not result from sampling error or laboratory analytical error
(Table 3 and Table 4). The approach used to evaluate whether extreme outlier
concentrations should be retained in background datasets is presented in the technical
memorandum prepared by Arcadis titled, "Background Threshold Value Statistical Outlier
Evaluation — Weatherspoon Power Plant, March 25, 2020" (Attachment 1). This is consistent
with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) guidance (2009, 2018), which
recommends the following:
• Outlier concentrations should not be removed from background datasets
based solely on statistical methods because statistical methods do not indicate
why outlying concentrations are abnormal with respect to the rest of the
background dataset.
• Statistical outliers should be retained in background datasets unless a specific
technical reason (e.g., sampling or laboratory error) for the concentration can
be determined.
SynTerra conducted data validation of extreme outlier concentrations. Arcadis
evaluated extreme outlier concentrations identified in the background groundwater
datasets and background unsaturated soil datasets for Weatherspoon using a data -
driven approach that considered the following:
• Concentration of individual constituents
• The broader geochemical conditions at the Site
Extreme outlier concentrations were evaluated in accordance with the Revised Statistical
Methods for Developing Reference Background Concentrations for Groundwater and Soil at
Coal Ash Facilities (HDR Engineering, Inc. and SynTerra, 2017), which states: "If
statistical outliers have been detected, the project scientist will review the values to
Page 2-3
Updated Background Threshold Values for Constituent Concentrations in
Groundwater and Soil March 2020
Duke Energy Progress, LLC — W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant SynTerra
determine if they should be removed from the data set or are representative of
background and should be retained for statistical analysis."
Arcadis reviewed extreme outlier concentrations identified in the background
groundwater datasets and the background unsaturated soil dataset for the Site
(Attachment 1).
Arcadis identified extreme outlier concentrations that should be included in
background groundwater and unsaturated soil datasets for the Site using the following
criteria:
• Repeatability of constituent concentrations
• Relationship between pairs of constituents or among groups of constituents
• Relationships between the concentrations of major ions and total dissolved solids
(pertinent to groundwater only)
• Relationship between constituent concentrations and pH
• Relationship between constituent concentrations and oxidation-reduction
potential
Extreme outlier concentrations that were retained in the background groundwater
datasets and the background unsaturated soil dataset for Weatherspoon are identified
in Table 3 and Table 4. Rational for including extreme outlier concentrations in the
background groundwater for the Site is provided in Table 2 and text of Attachment 1.

2.4 Description of Background Datasets
2.4.1 Groundwater
The background dataset for each distinct groundwater flow zone was used to
update BTVs for constituents within that flow zone (Table 1).
Surficial Flow Zone
Eight wells (BW-2S, BW-3S, BW-4S, BW-5S, BW-3I, BW-4I, CCR-101-BG, and
MW-1) are used to monitor background groundwater quality within the
surficial flow zone at Weatherspoon (Figure 1). To statistically derive the
updated BTVs provided in this report, concentration data from the eight
background wells were included in the background dataset pertaining to the
surficial flow zone (Table 5). The background datasets for constituents in the
surficial flow zone contain 10 or more valid sample data (Table 5).
Peedee Flow Zone
Two wells (BW-3D and BW-4DA) are used to monitor background
groundwater quality within the Peedee flow zone at Weatherspoon
(Figure 1). To statistically derive the updated BTVs provided in this report,
concentration data from the two background wells were included in the
background dataset pertaining to the Peedee flow zone. The background
datasets for constituents (except for fluoride and lithium) in the Peedee flow
zone contain 10 or more valid sample data (Table 6).
2.4.2 Unsaturated Soil
Unsaturated soil samples were collected from 23 locations throughout the Site
(Figure 1). Soil samples were collected from multiple depth intervals at each
location (Table 4). Only soil samples collected from depths between 0.5 feet
bgs and 1 foot above the water table were included in the background
unsaturated soil dataset. The background datasets for constituents in
unsaturated soil contain 10 or more valid sample data (Table 7).

3.0 STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY
This section describes the statistical approach used to:
• Evaluate the background groundwater datasets and the background unsaturated
soil dataset
• Calculate BTVs pertaining to constituent concentrations in groundwater and
unsaturated soil at Weatherspoon
Statistical methods were performed using guidance provided in the following
documents:
• Revised Statistical Methods for Developing Reference Background Concentrations for
Groundwater and Soil at Coal Ash Facilities (HDR Engineering, Inc. and
SynTerra, 2017)
• Statistical Analysis of Groundwater Monitoring Data at RCRA Facilities: Unified
Guidance (USEPA, 2009)
• ProUCL 5.1.002 Technical Guide, Statistical Software for Environmental Applications
for Data Sets with and without Nondetect Observations (USEPA, 2015)
• Groundwater Statistics Tool User's Guide (USEPA, 2018)
3.1 Background Threshold Values
Site -specific groundwater and unsaturated soil BTVs were represented by one of the
following:
• The upper tolerance limit (UTL) represented the Site -specific BTV for a
constituent when the background dataset for that constituent contained 10 or
more valid sample data and the frequency of non -detects present within the
dataset was less than or equal to 90 percent
• The maximum non -detect value represented the Site -specific BTV for a
constituent when the background dataset for that constituent contained 10 or
more valid sample data and the frequency of non -detects present within the
dataset was greater than 90 percent
• The maximum value represented the Site -specific BTV for a constituent when the
background dataset for that constituent contained fewer than 10 valid sample
data
Page 3-1
Updated Background Threshold Values for Constituent Concentrations in
Groundwater and Soil March 2020
Duke Energy Progress, LLC — W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant SynTerra
Site -specific BTVs represented by the UTL and maximum non -detect value are
identified in Table 5 through Table 7.
3.1.1 Upper Tolerance Limits
UTLs represent — with a specified level of statistical confidence — an upper
limit of a range of values in which a specified proportion of the data population
resides. UTLs were calculated for constituents (except for pH) using ProUCL
version 5.1.002 (Appendix A). Two-sided tolerance intervals consisting of an
upper and lower tolerance limit were calculated for pH using NCSS 11 Statistical
Software (Appendix A) because ProUCL cannot calculate two-sided tolerance
intervals. UTLs were calculated using either parametric statistics or non -
parametric statistics.
Parametric Upper Tolerance Limits
Parametric UTLs were calculated for constituents when the background
dataset contained less than or equal to 50 percent non -detects and the
background dataset fit a discernible distribution model. When those criteria
were met, one of the following UTLs were calculated:
Normal UTLs were calculated for constituents when the background
dataset fit the normal distribution model.
Gamma UTLs were calculated for constituents when the background
dataset fit the gamma distribution model but did not fit the normal
distribution model.
• Lognormal UTLs were calculated for constituents when the
background dataset fit only the lognormal distribution model and the
standard deviation of the natural log -transformed background dataset
for those constituents was less than 1.
Parametric UTLs were calculated using a coverage of 95 percent and a
confidence level of 95 percent. The Kaplan -Meier method was used to handle
non -detects.
Page 3-2
Updated Background Threshold Values for Constituent Concentrations in
Groundwater and Soil March 2020
Duke Energy Progress, LLC — W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant
SynTerra
Non -Parametric Upper Tolerance Limits
Non -parametric UTLs were calculated for constituents when the background
dataset had one of the following characteristics:
• Could not be fitted to a discernible distribution model
• Contained greater than 50 percent non -detects and less than or equal to 90
percent non -detects
• Could be fitted to the lognormal distribution model but had a standard
deviation greater than 1 when the data were natural log -transformed
Non -parametric UTLs were calculated using:
A confidence level of 95 percent and a coverage of 85 percent when a
background dataset contained fewer than 29 samples
A confidence level of 95 percent and a coverage of 90 percent when a
background dataset contained from 29 to 58 samples
A confidence level of 95 percent and a coverage of 95 percent when a
background dataset contained 59 or more samples
3.2 Fitting Distributions
Background datasets were fitted to various distribution models using goodness of fit
(GOF) tests when background datasets contained less than or equal to 50 percent non -
detects. Details about the distribution of background groundwater data are provided in
Table 5 through Table 6, and details about the distribution of background unsaturated
soil data are provided in Table 7.
GOF tests were performed using ProUCL version 5.1.002 (Appendix B). If non -detects
were present in a background dataset, those data were handled using robust regression
on ordered statistics (rROS). rROS requires that the detected concentration data in a
dataset fit a distribution model. If the detected concentration data fit a distribution
model, rROS estimates a value for each non -detect. The joint distribution of the
estimated values and detected concentration data is then evaluated for fit with
distribution models using GOF tests. This determines the overall distribution of a
dataset.
Page 3-3
Updated Background Threshold Values for Constituent Concentrations in
Groundwater and Soil March 2020
Duke Energy Progress, LLC — W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant SynTerra
Background data were evaluated for fit with the normal, gamma, and lognormal
distribution models using the following GOF tests:
• Normal distribution — Shapiro -Wilk (SW) test or Lilliefors test
• Gamma distribution — Anderson -Darling test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
• Lognormal distribution — SW test or Lilliefors test
The SW test was used to evaluate data for fit with the normal distribution model
and lognormal distribution model when background datasets contained 50 or fewer
sample data. The Lilliefors test was used to evaluate data for fit with the normal
distribution model and lognormal distribution model when background datasets
contained more than 50 sample data. Both the Anderson -Darling test and the
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used to evaluate background datasets for fit with
the gamma distribution model, regardless of background dataset sample size.
Background data were considered non -parametric when GOF tests could not fit data
to a discernible distribution model, or when the background data were fitted to the
lognormal distribution, but the standard deviation of the natural log -transformed
dataset was greater than 1.
3.3 Outlier Screening
Background groundwater and background unsaturated soil datasets were screened
for extreme outlier concentrations using ProUCL version 5.1.002. Temporally
autocorrelated data were retained in the background groundwater datasets during
outlier screening. Temporal autocorrelation was pertinent only to groundwater data.
Retaining temporally autocorrelated data in background groundwater datasets
helped confirm the validity of apparent statistical outliers or to determine whether
outliers were caused by omitting data about concentrations present in groundwater
at a given point in time.
The background dataset for each constituent within each distinct groundwater flow
zone and the background dataset for each constituent in unsaturated soil were screened
for extreme outlier concentrations using all the following:
• Box -and -whisker plots
• Dixon's outlier test or Rosner's outlier test using a 0.01 significance level
Extreme outlier concentrations identified in the Dixon's outlier test were used when a
background dataset for a constituent contained fewer than 25 samples. Rosner's outlier
test was used when a background dataset for a constituent contained more than 25

SynTerra
samples. Both Dixon's outlier test and Rosner's outlier test make the assumption that
the background data for a constituent fit the normal distribution model, excluding all
concentrations that are suspected to be outliers. Dixon's test or Rosner's outlier test was
used to screen the background constituent dataset for extreme outlier concentrations
only when the aforementioned assumption was met (Appendix C).
background groundwater datasets are presented in Table 3. Extreme outlier
concentrations identified in the background unsaturated soil dataset are presented in
Table 4.

Notes:
- Sample results are invalid for use because recorded sample pH greater than 8.5 standard units, recorded sample turbidity greater than 10 NTU, or no sample pH or turbidity was recorded.
- Concentration is an extreme statistical outlier. Concentration was included in the calculation of background threshold values (BTVs) because data validation and detailed evaluation of Site -specific geochemical conditions indicated that the concentration was not a result of field error or laboratory analytical error.
- Concentration is an extreme statistical outlier. Concentration was not included in the calculation of BTVs because data validation and detailed evaluation of Site -specific geochemical conditions indicated that the concentration was a result of field error, laboratory analytical error, elevated reporting limit.
- Sample collected less than 60 days from the previous sample. Sample results not included in calculation of BTVs.
--- - No result because the concentration of analyte was not measured in sample or the sample result was rejected due to serious deficiencies in meeting QC criteria.
°C - degrees celsius
mg-CaCO3/L - milligrams calcium carbonate per liter
SPC - specific conductance
Ng/L - micrograms per liter
mg-N/L - milligrams nitrogen per liter
TDS - total dissolved solid
Ng/mL - microgram per milliliter
NM - Field parameter was not measured
Temp - temperature
NS/cm - microsiemens per centimeter
NTU - nephelometric turbidity unit
TOC - total organic carbon
BTOC - below top of casing
ORP - oxidation-reduction potential
WL - water level
DO - dissolved oxygen
pCi/L - picocuries per liter
mg/L - milligrams per liter
S.U. - standard units
Laboratory Oualifiers:
< - Concentration not detected at or above the adjusted reporting limit.
<RL - Less than reporting limit. Result was not included in statistical analysis because no numeric value was provided for the reporting limit.
B - Target analyte detected in method blank at or above the reporting limit. Target analyte concentration in sample is less than 1X the concentration in the method blank. Analyte concentration in sample could be due to blank contamination.

Notes:
- Sample results are invalid for use because recorded sample pH greater than 8.5 standard units, recorded sample turbidity greater than 10 NTU, or no sample pH or turbidity was recorded.
- Concentration is an extreme statistical outlier. Concentration was included in the calculation of background threshold values (BTVs) because data validation and detailed evaluation of Site -specific geochemical conditions indicated that the concentration was not a result of field error or laboratory analytical error.
- Concentration is an extreme statistical outlier. Concentration was not included in the calculation of BTVs because data validation and detailed evaluation of Site -specific geochemical conditions indicated that the concentration was a result of field error, laboratory analytical error, elevated reporting limit.
- Sample collected less than 60 days from the previous sample. Sample results not included in calculation of BTVs.
--- - No result because the concentration of analyte was not measured in sample or the sample result was rejected due to serious deficiencies in meeting QC criteria.
°C - degrees celsius
mg-CaCO3/L - milligrams calcium carbonate per liter
SPC - specific conductance
Ng/L - micrograms per liter
mg-N/L - milligrams nitrogen per liter
TDS - total dissolved solid
Ng/mL - microgram per milliliter
NM - Field parameter was not measured
Temp - temperature
NS/cm - microsiemens per centimeter
NTU - nephelometric turbidity unit
TOC - total organic carbon
BTOC - below top of casing
ORP - oxidation-reduction potential

S.U. - standard units
Laboratory Oualifiers:
< - Concentration not detected at or above the adjusted reporting limit.
<RL - Less than reporting limit. Result was not included in statistical analysis because no numeric value was provided for the reporting limit.
B - Target analyte detected in method blank at or above the reporting limit. Target analyte concentration in sample is less than 1X the concentration in the method blank. Analyte concentration in sample could be due to blank contamination.
B1 - Target analyte detected in method blank at or above the reporting limit. Target analyte concentration in sample was greater than 10X the concentration in the method blank. Analyte concentration in sample is not affected by blank contamination.
B2 - Target analyte was detected in blank(s) at a concentration greater than 1/2 the reporting limit but less than the reporting limit. Analyte concentration in sample is valid and may be used for compliance purposes.
B3 - Target analyte was detected in Continuing Calibration Blank(s) at a concentration greater than 1/2 the reporting limit but less than the reporting limit. Analyte concentration in sample is valid and may be used for compliance purposes.
D3 - Sample was diluted due to the presence of high levels of non -target analytes or other matrix interference.
j - Estimated concentration above the adjusted method detection limit and below the adjusted reporting limit.
M1 - Matrix spike recovery was high: the associated laboratory Control Spike (LCS) was acceptable.
M2 - Matrix spike recovery was Low: the associated Laboratory Control Spike (LCS) was acceptable.
M4 - The spike recovery value was unusable since the analyte concentration in the sample was disproportionate to the spike level.
N2 - The lab does not hold accreditation for this parameter.
P4 - Sample field preservation does not meet EPA or method recommendations for this analysis.
Data Validation Oualifiers:
S - Associated calibration check did not meet specified criteria.
S1 - Data review findings indicate result may be unreliable. Use with caution.
RO - The data are unusable. The sample results are rejected due to serious deficiencies in meeting QC criteria. The analyte may or may not be present in the sample.

Notes:
- Concentration is an extreme statistical outlier. Concentration was included in the calculation of background threshold values (BNs) because data validation and detailed evaluation of Site -specific geochemical conditions indicated that the concentration was not a result of field error or
laboratory analytical error.
- Non -detect value is greater than preliminary soil remediation goal protection of groundwater for the constituent. Non -detect value was not included in the calculation of BNs.
No result because the concentration of analyte was not measured in sample.
mg/kg - milligrams per kilogram
S.U. - standard units
Laboratory Oualifiers:
< - Concentration not detected at or above the adjusted reporting limit.
B - Target analyte detected in method blank at or above the reporting limit. Target analyte concentration in sample is less than 1OX the concentration in the method blank. Analyte concentration in sample could be due to blank contamination.
j - Estimated concentration above the adjusted method detection limit and below the adjusted reporting limit.
M - Matrix spike / matrix spike dup failure.

Notes:
* - Upper and lower tolerance limits calculated for constituent.
o - Value represents maximum non -detect value in dataset for constituent.
1 - The type of upper tolerance limit (UTL) calculated for each constituent was based on the distribution of its data.
Z - The distribution of the data for the constituent could not be adequately assessed because the dataset contains >50 percent and :590 percent NDs.
Therefore, the non -parametric UTL was calculated for the constituent.
s - The non -parametric UTL was calculated for the constituent because its background dataset could not be fitted to the normal, gamma, or lognormal
distribution models.
4 - The dataset for the constituent was lognormally distributed. The standard deviation of the natural log -transformed dataset was >1. As a result,
the non -parametric UTL was calculated for the constituent.
pg/L - micrograms per liter
pg/mL - micrograms per milliliter
mg/L - milligrams per liter
n/a - Dataset was comprised of >90 percent non -detects or contained <10 samples.
ND - non -detect
pCi/L - picocuries per liter
S.U. - standard units
TDS - total dissolved solids
TOC - total organic carbon

Background Threshold Value Statistical Outlier Evaluation —
W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant
Arcadis U.S., Inc. (Arcadis) prepared this technical memorandum, titled Background Threshold Value
Statistical Outlier Evaluation — W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant, on behalf of Duke Energy Progress, LLC
(Duke Energy) (Figure 1). Arcadis evaluated statistically significant outliers identified in the Updated
Background Threshold Values for Constituent Concentrations in Groundwater (SynTerra Corporation
[SynTerra] 2020) constituent concentration dataset (background groundwater dataset) for the W.H.
Weatherspoon Power Plant (Site), located in Robeson County, North Carolina (Figure 1). This
memorandum presents the results of this evaluation, which was conducted within the context of recent
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) guidance regarding the treatment of statistical
outliers. Results of the statistical outlier evaluation support findings reached in the background threshold
value (BTV) statistical analysis conducted by SynTerra for the Site (SynTerra 2020) applying the technical
approach presented herein. Additionally, this technical memorandum includes a review of regional
background groundwater quality.
Constituent BTVs are calculated to compare site groundwater constituent concentrations when the
constituent has no established 15A NCAC 02L.0202 Groundwater Standard (02L) or Interim Maximum
Allowable Concentration (IMAC), and/or when the BTVs are higher than either the 02L or IMAC criteria.
REGIONAL GROUNDWATER QUALITY
The Site is located within the Atlantic Coastal Plain Region of the Coastal Plain physiographic province, in
Robeson County . There are six water -bearing formations associated with the Coastal Plain region. These
include, from youngest to oldest, the surficial, Yorktown, Pee Dee, Black Creek, upper Cape Fear, and
Page:
MEMO
lower Cape Fear aquifers . Due to sinkholes and other geologic features, there can be degree of
hydrologic communication between the surficial aquifer and parts of the lower hydrologic units (Harden et
al. 2003, SynTerra 2014). In Robeson County, groundwater is obtained from the surficial, Yorktown, Pee
Dee, and Black Creek aquifers (SynTerra 2014).
Naturally occurring constituent concentrations in Coastal Plain groundwater systems have been measured
at numerous monitoring sites and residential water supply wells by several institutions and government
agencies (Arnold et al. 2016; Coyte et al. 2019; Sutton and Woods 1994; Harden et al. 2003; North
Carolina Department of Health and Human Services [NCDHHS] 2011). These studies demonstrate
variability in groundwater constituent concentrations across the Coastal Plain region as shown on
Figure 2 (Arnold et al. 2016). These patterns in regional groundwater constituent concentration variability
are also indicated by the USEPA Unified Guidance (USEPA 2009) to occur for constituent concentrations
in groundwater at individual wells (Table 1).
Groundwater quality of the Coastal Plain aquifers is generally high quality. However, detections of
naturally occurring metals at concentrations above 02L criteria have been demonstrated. County well
studies conducted by the NCDHHS for Robeson County identified concentrations of copper, iron, lead,
manganese, and zinc exceeding 02L criteria (NCDHHS 2011). Coyte et al. (2019) studied the distribution
of hexavalent and total chromium in North Carolina . Total chromium was found to range from less than
the reporting limit to 9 micrograms per liter (pg/L), less than the North Carolina 02L criterion. Hexavalent
chromium was detected within the greater Coastal Plain region (concentration ranging from non -detect to
1.04 tag/L) (Coyte et al. 2019). Radium has also been detected that exceeds local drinking water
standards (Hunter 2019).
CONSTITUENT OUTLIERS
HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) and SynTerra developed protocol and procedures, with input from North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), for establishing groundwater BTVs for Duke
Energy coal ash facilities (HDR and SynTerra 2017). The protocol establishes identifying extreme
statistical outliers using the Dixon's or Rosner's statistical outlier test using a significance level of 0.01 .
This report states, "If statistical outliers have been detected, the project scientist will review the values to
determine if they should be removed from the data set or are representative of background and should be
retained for statistical analysis." This approach to evaluating statistical outliers for inclusion or exclusion
from a background dataset is consistent with guidance and documents provided by the USEPA in their
2009 Unified Guidance (USEPA 2009) and 2018 Groundwater Statistics Tool — User's Guide (USEPA
2018).
The Unified Guidance (USEPA 2009) states:
`A statistical determination of one or more statistical outliers does not indicate why the
measurements are discrepant from the rest of the data set. The Unified Guidance does not
recommend that outliers be removed solely on a statistical basis. The outlier tests can provide
supportive information, but generally a reasonable rationale needs to be identified for removal of
suspect outlier values (usually limited to background data). At the same time there must be some
level of confidence that the data are representative of ground water quality. "
USEPA (2018) documents state [in bold font within the document]:
arcadis.com Page:
2/11
MEMO
"Dixon's [outlier] test is used only to indicate whether a data point can be considered as an outlier
statistically; outliers should not be discarded from the data set unless there is also a valid, known
technical reason for the outlier (for example, field or lab conditions). "
The Unified Guidance (USEPA 2009) recommends testing of outliers on background data, but they
generally should not be removed unless some basis for a likely error or discrepancy can be identified.
Possible errors or discrepancies that would exclude outlier data from a background dataset include:
• Data recording errors
• Unusual sampling and laboratory procedures or conditions
• Inconsistent sample turbidity
• Values significantly outside the historical ranges of background data.
The Unified Guidance (USEPA 2009) also states:
`Yn groundwater data collection and testing, background conditions may not be static over time.
Caution should be observed in removing observations which may signal a change in natural
groundwater quality. Even when conditions have not changed, an apparent extreme measurement
may represent nothing more than a portion of the background distribution that has yet to be
observed. This is particularly true if the background data set contains fewer than 20 samples."
Based on guidance and documents provided by the USEPA (2009 and 2018), statistical outliers identified
by SynTerra in background groundwater datasets for the Site were evaluated to determine whether
statistical outliers should be included or excluded from the background groundwater datasets.
OUTLIER EVALUATION METHODS
A data -driven approach was used to evaluate identified statistical outliers in the background groundwater
datasets for the Site. This approach not only considers analytical results for individual constituents, but
also the broader geochemical conditions at the Site to determine inclusion or exclusion of statistical
outliers in the background groundwater dataset. This section describes the six methods used to evaluate
statistical outliers within the background groundwater datasets for the Site including:
1. Initial screening for turbidity and pH
2. Repeatability of constituent concentrations
3. Relationship among pairs or groups of constituents
4. Relationships between major ions and total dissolved solids
5. Relationship between constituent concentration and pH
6. Relationship between constituent concentration and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)
Outlier evaluation methods 2 through 6 were conducted as part of the protocol established by HDR and
SynTerra (2017):
arcadis.com Page:
3/11
MEMO
`If statistical outliers have been detected, the project scientist will review the values to determine if they
should be removed from the data set or are representative of background and should be retained for
statistical analysis."
This outlier evaluation approach provides multiple lines of evidence to support inclusion or exclusion of
identified statistical outliers in the background groundwater datasets for the Site.
Initial Screening for Turbidity and pH
Background groundwater samples with turbidity values greater than 10 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU)
and/or pH values greater than 8.5 standard units (S.U.) were eliminated from the background groundwater
dataset as defined in the protocol established by HDR and SynTerra (2017) for the Site.
Site -specific background data were eliminated for turbidity values greater than 10 NTU to reduce potential
effects of particulates entrained in the background groundwater samples on background groundwater
metals concentrations. However, particulate metals may still be present in samples with turbidity values
less than 10 NTU. Published comparisons of turbidity measured as NTU and total suspended solids (TSS)
(Idaho Department of Environmental Quality 2007; Xiang et al. 2011) suggest that turbidity greater than
10 NTU is associated with TSS concentrations generally greater than 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L)
(Figure 4). Combined concentrations of particulate metals, especially iron and aluminum, in all retained
site background groundwater data are less than 10 mg/L (e.g., Figure 5) and exhibited turbidity values
less than 10 NTU. Therefore, groundwater sample data with associated turbidity values less than 10 NTU
were appropriately included within the background groundwater datasets for the Site whether or not
particulate forms of metals were present.
Repeatability of Constituent Concentrations
Statistical outliers identified as a repeated concentration across sample dates for individual wells were
retained within the background groundwater datasets for the Site. All retained outliers for the Site are
provided in Table 2.
Data were evaluated for the repeatability of individual constituent analytical results. Repeatability weighs in
favor of data inclusion because it suggests that the measured value is not due to a data recording error or
unusual condition. Additionally, if a value is repeatedly measured over time, it is an indication that the
sampling is accurately measuring the constituent concentration. For example, in well BW-41, alkalinity was
measured at concentrations above 120 mg/L in nine consecutive samples between 2018 and 2020, all of
which were flagged as statistical outliers (Table 2). Repeated constituents were also observed for calcium,
bicarbonate alkalinity, and strontium at this well. The consistency of the measurements strongly indicates
that the detected constituent concentrations are not due to sampling artifacts.
Repeatability was evaluated for individual wells across the individual groundwater flow zones shallow
(surficial) and bedrock (Pee Dee) identified for the Site. Figure 6 provides examples of constituents with
repeated concentrations within a small range that were identified as statistical outliers. Statistical outliers
are identified on Figure 6 by orange boxes. The constituents shown on Figure 6, as well as other
constituents with similar profiles, were retained within the background groundwater dataset. The following
bullets summarize the constituents and wells with repeatable concentrations for the Site, a subset of these
are illustrated on Figure 6.
• BW-31 — lithium
• BW-4DA — magnesium, sodium, strontium
arcadis.com Page:
4/11
MEMO
• BW-41 — alkalinity, total and bicarbonate, calcium, strontium
• BW-5S — fluoride
This portion of the evaluation also included evaluating box -and -whisker plots for statistical outliers of
individual constituents by well (SynTerra 2020). Background groundwater constituents that were not
identified as outliers within the individual well box -and -whisker plots were retained.
Relationship among Pairs or Groups of Constituents
Statistical outliers identified to have constituent of interest (COI) concentration distributions similar to those
for other constituents were retained within the background groundwater datasets for the Site and are
provided in Table 2.
Relationships among constituents provide evidence regarding whether a measured concentration is due to
a data recording or unusual condition. When two constituents are correlated, a high concentration for one
constituent will typically be associated with a high concentration for the correlated constituent. When a
statistical outlier in one constituent is associated with a high value in an associated constituent, this
association provides evidence that the statistical outlier is a valid data point that is not associated with
sampling or laboratory error. Conversely, a statistical outlier that is not associated with a high value in an
associated constituent may be more likely to be invalid.
Groups of Constituents
Statistical outliers were identified for total metals concentrations for several metals including aluminum,
chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese, and nickel (Figures 5, and 8). These statistical outliers were
associated with particulate or dissolved forms based on comparison of total and filtered (0.45 micron)
metals concentrations. Statistical outlier concentrations of aluminum and iron were typically associated
primarily with particulate form, while statistical outlier concentrations of chromium, cobalt, manganese, and
nickel were typically in dissolved form.
Statistical outlier metals in primarily dissolved form were consistent with geochemical conditions including
acidic pH and ORP values that indicated presence of metal (e.g., iron and manganese) reducing
conditions. Dissolution of iron and manganese oxides in metal reducing conditions results in release of
other metals associated with the iron and manganese oxides including arsenic and cobalt.
Statistical outlier metals present primarily in particulate form are consistent with chemical and mechanical
weathering of the aquifer matrix. Naturally occurring chemical weathering (e.g., via metal reduction) results
in dissolution of minerals present within the aquifer matrix and can result in formation of very fine-grained
particles such as clay particles and colloids. Mechanical weathering of the aquifer matrix (e.g., stress
applied to the aquifer via groundwater pumping), even under low -flow conditions, can dislodge these
fine-grained particles and cause them to migrate to the well. Although monitoring well filter pack materials
are sized to minimize migration of fine-grained particles, some of these fine-grained particles can still
migrate through the filter pack and become captured during groundwater sampling. This can occur for both
groundwater monitoring and drinking water supply wells. Drinking water supply wells are often completed
as open boreholes in bedrock absent of filter packs to minimize migration of fine-grained particles.
Chemical weathering of aquifer matrix minerals can also result in formation of fine-grained particulates.
Metals dissolved under metal reducing conditions can form particulates via re -oxidation and precipitation
of metals when the dissolved metals encounter less reducing and more oxic (oxygen -rich) conditions.

MEMO
Pairs of Constituents
Similarities in distributions of several constituent pairs were observed across monitoring wells and
groundwater flow zones. These similarities in constituent distributions were observed for the constituent
well pairs aluminum and iron (Figure 5), and chromium and hexavalent chromium and nickel (Figure 7),
as well as other constituent pairs and groupings not shown on Figures 5 and 7. These strong similarities
in constituent distributions across wells and groundwater flow zones indicate natural conditions.
Relationship between Major Ions and Total Dissolved Solids
Statistical outliers with TDS increase not accompanied by similar increases in major cation and anion
concentrations were excluded from the background groundwater datasets for the Site and retained outliers
for the Site are provided in Table 2.
Concentrations of major cations (calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium) and anions (alkalinity,
chloride, and sulfate) identified as statistical outliers were compared to TDS concentrations. If outlier
cation or anion concentrations were accompanied by a similar increase in TDS, the outlier was retained
within the background groundwater datasets for the Site. TDS concentrations identified as statistical
outliers were then compared with concentrations of major cations and anions.
Relationship between Constituent Concentration and pH
Statistical outliers with pH values (less than 8.5 S.U.) were retained within the background groundwater
datasets for the Site, and retained outliers are provided in Table 2.
Background groundwater datasets were evaluated for relationships between constituent concentrations
and groundwater pH values. Such relationships were observed for arsenic and alkalinity, with higher
arsenic and alkalinity (including bicarbonate and carbonate alkalinity) concentrations observed for higher
pH values (less than 8.5 S.U.) (Figure 8). These higher pH values are within the expected naturally
occurring pH range for groundwater at the Site.
Relationship between Constituent Concentration and ORP
Statistical outliers associated with low ORP values were retained within the background groundwater
datasets for the Site, and all retained outliers are provided in Table 2.
Background groundwater datasets were evaluated for relationships between groundwater ORP and
constituent concentrations. Low ORP values were observed to be associated with higher concentrations of
arsenic and other constituent values, as illustrated in groundwater monitoring well CCR-101-BG on Figure
8. The retained higher arsenic concentration shown on Figure 8, identified as statistical outliers, were
observed during a period of low oxidation reduction potential. As the environment transitioned to a more
oxic environment, (increasing oxidation reduction potential), arsenic concentrations decrease.
SUMMARY OF RESULTS - GROUNDWATER
Results of the constituent statistical outlier evaluation for groundwater are provided in Table 2. This table
provides the well ID, sampling date, constituent, constituent concentration, reporting unit, and the rationale
for each identified outlier included in the background groundwater datasets for the Site. The general
rationales for each constituent that had an outlier included in the background groundwater datasets for the
Site are summarized below.

SOIL OUTLIER EVALUATION METHODS
Unsaturated soil samples for evaluation of background soil constituent concentrations were collected at
background soil boring locations and during installation of background groundwater monitoring wells. HDR
and SynTerra developed protocol and procedures, with input from NCDEQ, for establishing unsaturated
soil BTVs for Duke Energy coal ash facilities (HDR and SynTerra 2017). The protocol establishes
identifying extreme statistical outliers using the Dixon's or Rosner's statistical outlier test using a
significance level of 0.01 . This report states, "If statistical outliers have been detected, the project scientist
will review the values to determine if they should be removed from the data set or are representative of
background and should be retained for statistical analysis." As described for groundwater above, this
approach to evaluating statistical outliers for inclusion or exclusion from a background dataset is
consistent with guidance provided by the USEPA in their 2009 Unified Guidance (USEPA 2009) and 2018
Groundwater Statistics Tool — User's Guide (USEPA 2018).
Unsaturated soil constituent concentrations for Weatherspoon background samples were reviewed to
identify outliers to be included or excluded from the background soil data set for calculation of background
soil BTVs. Data were evaluated for potential field sampling or laboratory errors. In addition, data were
evaluated for potential associations between constituents. For example, the soil sample HASB-18 (1-1.25)

had higher concentrations of calcium and cadmium compared with other soil samples (Table 3). Soil at
this sample location may contain calcium carbonate (calcite) that would contribute to higher calcium
concentration. Cadmium can substitute for calcium in mineral matrices, potentially resulting in the
observed higher cadmium concentrations compared to other background soil sample locations. Results
from the background soil outlier evaluation are presented in Table 3 and discussed below.
SUMMARY OF RESULTS - SOIL
Results of the constituent statistical outlier evaluation for soil are provided in Table 3. This table provides
the soil sample ID, sampling date, constituent, constituent concentration, reporting unit, and the rationale

General Notes:
0 = Concentration is an extreme statistical outlier. Concentration was included in the calculation of background threshold values (BTVs) because data validation and detailed evaluation of
Site -specific geochemical conditions indicated that the concentration was not a result of field error or laboratory analytical error.
Qualifiers:
B2 - Target analyte was detected in blank(s) at a concentration greater than 1/2 the reporting limit but less than the reporting limit. Analyte concentration in sample is valid and may be used for
compliance purposes.

DL/2 is not a recommended method. DL/2 provided for comparisons and historical reasons
Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Gamma ROS Statistics using Imputed Non -Detects
GROS may not be used when data set has > 50% NDs with many tied observations at multiple DLs
GROS may not be used when kstar of detects is small such as <1.0, especially when the sample size is small (e.g., <15-20)
For such situations, GROS method may yield incorrect values of UCLs and BTVs
This is especially true when the sample size is small.
For gamma distributed detected data, BTVs and UCLs may be computed using gamma distribution on KM estimates

DL/2 is not a Recommended Method. DL/2 provided for comparisons and historical reasons.
Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

DL/2 is not a Recommended Method.
DL/2 provided for comparisons and historical reasons.
Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

GROS may not be used when data set has > 50% NDs with many tied observations at multiple DLs
GROS may not be used when kstar of detects is small such as <1.0, especially when the sample size is small (e.g., <15-20)
For such situations, GROS method may yield incorrect values of UCLs and BTVs
This is especially true when the sample size is small.
For gamma distributed detected data, BTVs and UCLs may be computed using gamma distribution on KM estimates

Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

GROS may not be used when kstar of detects is small such as <1.0, especially when the sample size is small (e.g., <15-20)
For such situations, GROS method may yield incorrect values of UCLs and BTVs
This is especially true when the sample size is small.
For gamma distributed detected data, BTVs and UCLs may be computed using gamma distribution on KM estimates

Gamma ROS Statistics using Imputed Non -Detects
GROS may not be used when data set has > 50% NDs with many tied observations at multiple DLs
GROS may not be used when kstar of detects is small such as <1.0, especially when the sample size is small (e.g., <15-20)
For such situations, GROS method may yield incorrect values of UCLs and BTVs
This is especially true when the sample size is small.
For gamma distributed detected data, BTVs and UCLs may be computed using gamma distribution on KM estimates

Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Gamma ROS Statistics using Imputed Non -Detects
GROS may not be used when data set has > 50% NDs with many tied observations at multiple DLs
GROS may not be used when kstar of detects is small such as <1.0, especially when the sample size is small (e.g., <15-20)
For such situations, GROS method may yield incorrect values of UCLs and BTVs
This is especially true when the sample size is small.
For gamma distributed detected data, BTVs and UCLs may be computed using gamma distribution on KM estimates

Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.

Note: The use of USL tends to yield a conservative estimate of BTV, especially when the sample size starts exceeding 20.
Therefore, one may use USL to estimate a BTV only when the data set represents a background data set free of outliers
and consists of observations collected from clean unimpacted locations.
The use of USL tends to provide a balance between false positives and false negatives provided the data
represents a background data set and when many onsite observations need to be compared with the BTV.
