DUKE ENERGY PROGRESS, LLC
HF LEE FACILITY
ATTACHMENT A — HAUL ROAD DESCRIPTION
The proposed haul road links the existing ash basins to the proposed STAR Unit. The haul road will
traverse across the former HF Lee Coal Combustion Plant footprint, around the existing HF Lee Combined -
Cycle Plant, across the existing transmission line corridor and terminating at the plant road. The haul road
is designed and will be constructed above the existing ground surface. Existing stormwater runoff drainage
patterns will not be altered or impeded by the roadway construction, with the exception of one (1) location
within the identified wetland area, to the west of the transmission line corridor. At this location, three (3)
18-inch concrete culvert pipes will be installed to maintain stormwater movement within the wetland. The
remaining stormwater drainage patters within the footprint of the haul road will not be altered or
modified. Stormwater runoff will continue to naturally traverse the property in route to the Neuse River
(water surface classification WS-IV; NSW) which is located within the Neuse River Basin.
