1.0 INTRODUCTION
On March 18, 2020, Craig Eady (NC L.G. #1599) of SynTerra inspected the Roxboro
Steam Electric Plant(Roxboro or Site) property for existing and potential new seeps.
Inspection activities were performed in accordance with North Carolina Environmental
Management Commission (EMC) Special Order by Consent(SOC) WQ #S18-005. The
Special Order by Consent describes inspection requirements as follows:
No later than 90 days following the completion of decanting at each Facility, and in the
same manner as in the annual surveys, Duke Energy shall conduct a comprehensive
survey of areas down gradient of ash basins identifying new seeps, and documenting the
physical characteristics of previously documented seeps. All examinations of seeps must
include identification of seeps by approximate latitude and longitude and date-stamped
digital photographs of their appearance. A report summarizing the findings of this
survey, including a section analyzing the effect decanting of the basins(s) has had on seep
flows, accompanied by copies of the photographs noted above, shall be submitted to the
Director of DWR ("Final Seep Report"). This Final Seep Report must list any seep that
has been dispositioned (as described in subparagraph (3) above)during decanting
process, including an analysis of the manner of disposition. The determination of
whether a seep is dispositioned rests with the Director of DWR. At, or at any time prior
to, submission of the Final Seep Report, Duke Energy shall seek formal certification from
the Director of DWR, certifying the disposition of any seep that Duke Energy has
characterized
as dispositioned. Any seeps not certified as dispositioned by the Director of
DWR shall not be deemed as dispositioned.
All locations listed in Table 1 of the SOC were observed and documented with
photographs during the inspection.
General inspection observations include:
• No previously unidentified seeps were observed during the inspection.
• No notable changes to seep status were observed during this inspection.
• Passive decanting (removal) of free water from the West Ash Basin (WAB) was
initiated on April 10, 2019 with the redirection of wastewater inflows from the
WAB to the lined retention basin treatment system.

1.1 Inspection Details
The weather was clear before and during the inspection. Temperatures ranged from
approximately 51 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (F). No precipitation was recorded on the
day of the inspection or three days before the inspection, according to the on-Site
weather station. Five days prior to the inspection, on March 13, 2020, a 0.07-inch rain
event was documented.
The inspector reviewed previous seep inspection reports and the weekly dam safety
inspection reports for each ash basin.Jake Muessen (Duke Energy System Owner)
conducted the ash basin dam safety inspections and prepared the reports. Before the
inspections, Mr.Jake Muessen and Mr. Eric Cleaver (Roxboro CCP Implementation
Manager) were interviewed about recent rainfall, construction/stabilization projects
associated with the ash basins, and general Site conditions in and around the ash basins.
Observations from the dam safety inspection reports were consistent with observations
made during the post-decanting inspection.
The inspection included observations in the following areas (Figure 1):
• WAB main dam and chimney drains
• Areas northeast of the WAB main dam
• Southern half of the WAB sluice lines access area
• The effluent discharge canal from the WAB extension impoundment to the
heated water discharge pond
• The East Ash Basin (EAB) main dam
• Areas proximate to the EAB main dam to the southwest and northeast; eastern
side of the EAB/industrial landfill
• Effluent discharge canal from the EAB extension impoundment area to the east
side of the gypsum storage area
• Area between the south side of the industrial landfill and unnamed tributary
• Southwestern and eastern sides of the industrial landfill (south of the EAB
extension impoundment area)
• Areas identified as downgradient of ash basins
Seep locations and inspection areas are shown on Figure 1. Observations noted during
the inspection are summarized on Table 1. Photographs taken of each seep location
during the inspection are included in Appendix A.

2.0 FINDINGS
2.1 General Observations
Inspection observations of each seep are described in Table 1. A summary of the details
includes:
• No new seeps were observed during the inspection.
• No previously unidentified or unreported pipes were observed during
inspection.
• Flow conditions at seeps were normal and generally consistent with previous
inspections.
• Water levels in the heated water discharge pond, the unit 3 cooling tower pond,
and the cooling water intake canal appeared consistent with normal levels.
• Water levels in the WAB/EAB effluent discharge canals and the basin
impoundments were noted at slightly lower levels.
2.2 Effects of Decanting
Passive decanting of free water from the WAB began on April 10, 2019 through the
cessation of wastewater inflows to the WAB. By April 10, 2019, all wastewater inflows
to the WAB were ceased with the redirection of Plant wastewater to the lined retention
basin treatment system. No decanting is expected or anticipated for the EAB.
Duke Energy provided a Notification of Decanting Completion letter to the North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Water Resources
(DWR) on February 11, 2020. The notification indicated water levels within the WAB
have equalized across the north and south sides of the internal filter dike (Figure 1) at
approximately 447 feet elevation. Based on elevation changes of approximately 13 feet
across the filter dike, the WAB has been lowered by 90 million gallons of wastewater
through the gravity drainage process. Due to the design of the ash basin, this amount of
water is the most that can be removed without water allowed to flow back into the ash
basin through the filter dike. No mechanical removal of water (active decanting) will
occur as indicated in the SOC and prior to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit receipt.
The annual seep inspection occurred approximately a year after wastewater inflow to
the WAB had ceased. There were no noticeable effects to seep flow related to passive
decanting from the WAB during the inspection.

2.3 Changes to Seep Status
Mr. Eady inspected each seep to evaluate whether it met requirements to be
dispositioned in accordance with the SOC. The requirements for dispositioning a seep
are as follows:
For purposes of this Special Order, "dispositioned" includes the following: (1) the seep is
dry for at least three consecutive quarters; (2) the seep does not constitute, and does not
flow to, waters of the State or Waters of the United States for three consecutive quarters;
(3) the seep is no longer impacted by flow from any coal ash basin as determined by the
Director of DWR in accord with applicable law and best professional judgment; or(4) the
seep has been otherwise eliminated (e.g., through an engineering solution). If a seep that
has been dispositioned through drying up reappears in any subsequent survey, such a
seep will no longer be deemed dispositioned and can be subsequently re-dispositioned as
specified above. Non-constructed seeps described in paragraph 1(h) of this SOC cannot
be dispositioned through option (2) above.
No changes to seep status were observed during the inspection.
