This amendment to the CAP Update was prepared on behalf of Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy). Special Order by Consent (SOC) WQ S18-005, approved on August 15, 2018, addresses management of seeps at the Site for the East Ash Basin (EAB) and the West Ash Basin (WAB) during the process of basin closure under the Coal Ash Management Act of 2014 (CAMA), North Carolina General Statutes (G.S.) 130A-309.200 through 130A-309.231 and the federal Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) rule, 40 CFR Parts 257 and 261. SOC Section 2(d) Further Corrective Action states: "Within 60 days of the submittal of the Seep Characterization Report, Duke Energy shall submit a complete and adequate proposed amendment to the groundwater Corrective Action Plan and/or Closure Plan as appropriate for the Facility describing how any seeps identified in the Seep Characterization Report will be managed in a manner that will be sufficient to protect public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and natural resources." Findings in the July 2020 Seep Characterization Report (SynTerra, 2020b) indicate identified seeps are either candidates to be dispositioned, recently covered under the Site's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, or do not exhibit constituent concentrations that warrant additional corrective action. In order to be considered for corrective action, a seep must: 1) Be non-dispositioned 2) Constitute, or flow to Waters of the State (WOS) or Waters of the United States (WOTUS) 3) Exhibit constituent concentrations that are greater than applicable 02B surface water standards Four non -constructed seeps (S-08, S-14, S-18, and S-20) have been identified based on the above mentioned criteria. Page ES-1 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra Three of those seeps (S-08, S-14, and S-18) do not constitute, or flow to, WOS or WOTUS. However, according to the SOC disposition criteria indicated in SOC Section 2(c)(3), these seeps are not available to be dispositioned. Historically, visible flow at the signed location for seep S-20 that reached WOS or WOTUS has been minimal and intermittent. Three consecutive quarterly observations (Fourth Quarter 2019, First Quarter 2020 and Second Quarter 2020), as presented in the Seep Characterization Report (SynTerra, 2020b), indicated that flow was not reaching WOS or WOTUS at those times. An August 14, 2020 inspection of S-20 and the wetland/stream complex below the signed seep location, indicated minimal, intermittent seep flow may be reaching WOS or WOTUS. Therefore, S-20 remains as a non-dispositioned seep. Seep ID Description East Ash Basin S-14 This non -constructed seep does not constitute, and does not flow to, WOS or WOTUS; however, per SOC disposition criteria, this seep is not available to be dispositioned based on seep status or receiving water body jurisdiction determination (JD). The seep is at the discharge point of a 24-inch underground pipe that flows from the unnamed pond north of the EAB to the gypsum storage area wastewater detention basins. When flowing, seep discharge flows through a series of ditches to the heated water discharge pond, a portion of the NPDES-regulated wastewater treatment system and is acknowledged as a contributing flow in the NPDES permit. West Ash Basin w: This non -constructed seep does not constitute, and does not flow to, WOS or WOTUS; however, per SOC disposition criteria, this seep is not available to be dispositioned based on seep status or receiving water body JD. When flowing, this seep flows to the heated water discharge pond, a portion of the NPDES-regulated wastewater treatment system and is acknowledged as a contributing flow in the NPDES permit. S-18 This non -constructed seep does not constitute, and does not flow to, WOS or WOTUS; however, per SOC disposition criteria, this seep is not available to be dispositioned based on seep status or receiving water body JD. Seep S-18 is positioned within the decommissioned sluice line corridor area. S-20 This non -constructed seep does not constitute WOS or WOTUS. To the west and topographically downgradient from S-20, is a small stream channel flowing west through a wetland to a portion of an NPDES- regulated wastewater treatment system (heated water discharge pond). Per SOC disposition criteria, this seep is not available to be dispositioned based on the NPDES-permitted receiving water body. If sufficient flow has been observed, monitoring has been conducted prior to flows reaching the NPDES-permitted waste water treatment system. Page ES-2 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra Duke Energy continues to implement ash basin closure and corrective action activities that affect groundwater seepage. Ongoing and anticipated ash basin closure and corrective action activities are summarized in the table below. Year Closure or Corrective Action Activity 2019 - 2020 Passive decanting of free water from the WAB. 2021 - 2034 Dewatering and closure of the WAB. Excavation of the WAB is planned to be complete by 2034. 2021 - 2034 Dewatering and closure of the EAB. Partial excavation of the EAB is planned to be complete by 2034. Dredging of saturated ash from the EAB extension impoundment. 2021- 2029 Groundwater extraction north of the EAB geographic limitation. Evaluation of boron concentrations, as a leading indicator for affected groundwater, at seeps S-08, S-14, S-18, and S-20 using the Mann -Kendall trend test demonstrates stable to decreasing trends. In addition to boron, trend tests were performed on constituents with North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), Title 15A, Subchapter 02B — Surface Water and Wetland Standards (02B). Overall, the results of the Mann -Kendall trend analysis indicate that the seep discharge has been geochemically stable with constituent concentrations remaining stable or decreasing over time. As described in the CAP Update report (SynTerra, 2019) and based on findings from seep characterization (SynTerra, 2020b), the following corrective action strategy for the non-dispositioned seeps is summarized. Page ES-3 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra Seep ID Corrective Action Strategy East Ash Basin S-14 Groundwater remediation by extraction is proposed north-northeast of the EAB, which it is predicted to reduce flows and COI migration toward the north and S-14. West Ash Basin S-08 Cessation of sluicing to the WAB initiated in April 2019. Dewatering, source removal, and closure at the WAB is anticipated to reduce flow to this location prior to eliminating the seep. Contributing flow is monitored at NPDES Outfall 003. No additional corrective action for this location is anticipated. S-18 Cessation of sluicing to the WAB initiated in April 2019 followed by decommissioning of sluice lines, substantially reduced flow at this location. No additional corrective action for this location is anticipated. S-20 Cessation of sluicing to the WAB initiated in April 2019 followed by decommissioning of sluice lines, substantially reduced flow at this location. WAB active decanting (if necessary), dewatering and closure is predicted to cause flow to cease in the future. No additional corrective action for this location is anticipated. Non-dispositioned seeps are scheduled to be monitored as required by the SOC until termination of the SOC by DWR or no later than June 2022. In addition, the contribution of flows from seeps S-08, S-14, S-18, and S-20 will also be monitored under the NPDES permit.

This amendment was prepared on behalf of Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy). 1.1 Background In preparation of ash basin closure, passive decanting (removal) of free water from the West Ash Basin (WAB) was initiated in April 2019 with the redirection of some wastewater inflows from the WAB to the lined retention basin treatment system and the elimination of other flows by dry ash handling upgrades. Passive decanting of the WAB was determined completed, with notification to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Water Resources (DWR) in February 2020. No decanting was required for the East Ash Basin (EAB). To support final closure of the EAB, solids are to be dredged, as applicable, from the remaining open water area (EAB extension impoundment). A site location map is provided as Figure 1-1. Special Order by Consent (SOC) WQ S18-005, approved on August 15, 2018, addresses management of 20 seeps at the Site during the process of basin closures under the Coal Ash Management Act of 2014 (CAMA), North Carolina General Statutes (G.S.) 130A- 309.200 through 130A-309.231, and the federal Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) rule, 40 CFR Parts 257 and 261. The SOC is provided in Appendix A. 1.2 Purpose and Scope As stated in SOC Section 2(d), SynTerra is providing this Seep Management Plan as an amendment to the CAP Update to describe plans to manage seeps identified in the Seep Characterization Report (SynTerra, 2020b) in a manner that will protect public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and natural resources. The Seep Characterization Report evaluated seeps based on the physical status, chemical composition, and jurisdictional determination. To be considered in this management plan for corrective action, a seep must: 1) Be non-dispositioned, 2) Constitute, or flow to Waters of the State (WOS) or Waters of the United States (WOTUS), and Page 1-1 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra 3) Exhibit constituent concentrations that are greater than applicable North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), Title 15A, Subchapter 02B, Surface Water and Wetland Standards (02B). 1.3 Previous Reporting Detailed descriptions of previous Site SOC assessments and characterizations are documented in the following: • Corrective Action Plan Update, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant (SynTerra, 2019). • 2020 Final Seep Report, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant (SynTerra, 2020a). • Seep Characterization Report, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant (SynTerra, 2020b).

Page 2-2 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra 3.0 PROPOSED SEEP MONITORING PLAN The nature and extent of identified seeps for corrective action, effects of ongoing ash basin closure and corrective action activities, and details about potential proposed monitoring are discussed in the following sections. 3.1 Seeps for Corrective Action With concurrence from the NCDEQ DWR on physical status, chemical composition, and jurisdictional determination (JD), four seeps have been identified that require additional corrective action as described in the Seep Characterization Report (SynTerra, 2020b). Seeps proposed for disposition within the Seeps Characterization Report and non-dispositioned seeps (S-08, S-14, S-18, and S-20) are depicted on Figure 3-1. Seep ID Description East Ash Basin S-14 This non -constructed seep does not constitute, and does not flow to, WOS or WOTUS; however, per SOC disposition criteria, this seep is not available to be dispositioned based on seep status or receiving water body JD. The seep is at the discharge point of a 24-inch underground pipe that flows from north of the EAB to the gypsum storage area wastewater detention basins. When flowing, seep discharge flows through a series of ditches to the heated water discharge pond, a portion of the NPDES-regulated wastewater treatment system and is acknowledged as a contributing flow in the NPDES permit. West Ash Basin W: This non -constructed seep does not constitute, and does not flow to, WOS or WOTUS; however, per SOC disposition criteria, this seep is not available to be dispositioned based on seep status or receiving water body JD. When flowing, this seep flows to the heated water discharge pond, a portion of the NPDES-regulated wastewater treatment system and is acknowledged as a contributing flow in the NPDES permit. S-18 This non -constructed seep does not constitute, and does not flow to, WOS or WOTUS; however, per SOC disposition criteria, this seep is not available to be dispositioned based on seep status or receiving water body JD. Seep S-18 is positioned within the decommissioned sluice line corridor area. S-20 This non -constructed seep does not constitute WOS or WOTUS. To the west and topographically downgradient from S-20, is a small stream channel flowing west through a wetland to a portion of an NPDES- regulated wastewater treatment system (heated water discharge pond). Per SOC disposition criteria, this seep is not available to be dispositioned based on the NPDES-permitted receiving water body. If sufficient flow has been observed, monitoring has been conducted prior to flows reaching the NPDES-permitted waste water treatment system. Page 3-1 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra 3.2 Nature and Extent of Source Related Constituents and Seeps Based on groundwater data collected through May 2020, constituents of interest (COIs) associated with the ash basins in groundwater and surface water include: • Arsenic • Fluoride • Boron • Mercury • Barium • Nickel • Chloride • Nitrate/Nitrite • Chromium • Selenium • Sulfate • Thallium • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) • Total Hardness Boron concentrations greater than North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), Title 15A, Subchapter 02L — Groundwater Classifications and Standards (02L) represent the extent of affected groundwater associated with the ash basins. Because boron is non - reactive and mobile in groundwater, it has been identified as a leading -edge indicator and representative of the overall plume that contains other COIs greater than comparison criteria [02L standard/ Interim Maximum Allowable Concentration (IMAC) or background concentrations, whichever is greater]. Maximum boron concentrations are downgradient of the EAB separator dike (CCR-110BR) and downgradient of the WAB dikes adjacent to the western discharge canal (CCR-208BR), which flows to the NPDES-regulated heated water discharge pond (Figure 3-2). Maximum boron concentration data for each ash basin are summarized below. Location of Maximum 15 NCAC 02L Detection Maximum Date of Constituent standard (pg/L) Detection Maximum (lag/L) (lag/L) Detection Well ID Ash Basin Boron 700 CCR-110BR EAB 26,400 5/12/2016 Boron 700 CCR-208BR WAB 52,900 7/24/2019 The primary flow path for groundwater is to the north within the basin's historical stream valley. The NPDES permitted wastewater ponds are the primary groundwater discharge zones downgradient of the basins. Seep locations relative to the area of affected groundwater are shown on Figure 3-2. As stated in Section 2.0, seeps at Roxboro do not constitute WOS or WOTUS including S-20. If present, contributing flows at this seep are minimal. Any contributing flow from S-20 drains to a small stream channel and wetland prior to reaching the NPDES- Page 3-2 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra permitted heated water discharge pond. Due to insufficient flow, no sampling has occurred at the seep source prior to intersecting the small stream channel. Monitoring related to S-20 is conducted prior to flows reaching the heated water discharge pond. For informational purposes, historical maximum observed concentrations for boron and constituents with concentrations greater than a 02B standard for seep S-20 are summarized in the table below. Total (T) or Dissolved (D) Constituent 15 NCAC 02B standard (mg/L) Location of Maximum Detection Maximum Detection (mg/L) Date of Maximum Detection Seep Location Associated Ash Basin Boron (T) NE S-20 WAB 0.425 05/07/2019 Sulfate(T) 250 S-20 WAB 270 10/25/2018 TDS (T) 500 S-20 WAB 580 10/25/2018 Hardness 100 S-20 WAB 367 10/25/2018 Notes: mg/L - milligrams per liter NE - 02B standard not established Historical analytical data for S-20 sampling prior to discharge to the heated water discharge pond, with comparison to 02B standards, are provided in Table 3-1. Seep S-20, and the downgradient stream and wetland area, had insufficient flow for sample collection in May 2020. A comparison of the most recent analytical results (March 2020) from S-20 with 02B surface water standards identified one constituent, hardness, greater than 02B standards. This comparison and additional information related to analytical results and seep status are summarized in the table below. 15NCAC 02B Concentration Seep ID Constituent Standard Additional Information (mg/L) (mg/L) S-20 Hardness 100 263 No established groundwater standard Page 3-3 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra 3.3 Ash Basin Closure and Corrective Action Duke Energy continues to implement ash basin closure and corrective action that provides adequate seep management and surface water protection at the Site. Ongoing and anticipated ash basin closure and corrective action activities are summarized in the table below. Year Closure or Corrective Action Activity 2019 - 2020 Passive decanting of free water from the WAB. 2021 - 2034 Dewatering and closure of the WAB. Excavation of the WAB is planned to be complete by 2034. 2021 - 2034 Dewatering and closure of the EAB. Partial excavation of the EAB is planned to be complete by 2034. Dredging of saturated ash from the EAB extension impoundment. 2021 - 2029 Groundwater extraction north of the EAB geographic limitation. 3.4 Mann -Kendall Trend Analysis The Mann -Kendall statistical test (Appendix B) was performed to analyze how constituent concentrations at seep locations have changed over time. The Mann -Kendall trend test evaluates data over time for each non-dispositioned seep to develop a statistical conclusion that pertains to trends — increasing, decreasing, or no trend — of a COI concentration. Results of the Mann -Kendall test evaluation indicates the following: • Trend analysis was performed on 37 constituent -location pairs. • 73 percent of constituent locations (27 out of 37 constituent -location pairs) demonstrated stable conditions with no trends • 27 percent of the constituent locations (10 out of 37 constituent -location pairs) demonstrated statistically significant decreasing trends • Since implementation of passive decanting of the WAB in April 2019, stable to statistically significant decreasing trends, including boron, are indicated for the S-08 seep location A depiction of the seep trend analysis is shown on Figure 3-2. Overall, the results of the Mann -Kendall trend analysis indicate that the seep discharge has been geochemically stable with COI concentrations remaining stable or decreasing over time. The Mann - Kendall Analysis report is provided in Appendix B.

Three of those seeps (S-08, S-14, and S-18) do not constitute, or do not flow to, WOS or WOTUS. However, according to the SOC disposition criteria indicated in SOC Section 2(c)(3), these seeps are not available to be dispositioned. Historically, visible flow at the signed location for Seep 5-20 that reached WOS or WOTUS has been minimal and intermittent. Three consecutive quarterly observations (Fourth Quarter 2019, First Quarter 2020 and Second Quarter 2020), as presented in the Seep Characterization Report (SynTerra, 2020b), indicated that flow was not reaching WOS or WOTUS at those times. An August 14, 2020 inspection of S-20 and the wetland/stream complex below the signed seep location, indicated minimal, intermittent seep flow may be reaching WOS or WOTUS. Therefore, S-20 remains as a non-dispositioned seep. As described in the CAP Update report (SynTerra, 2019) and based on findings from seep characterization (SynTerra, 2020b), the following corrective action strategy for the non-dispositioned seeps is summarized. Page 3-5 Seep Management Plan Amendment to Corrective Action Plan September 2, 2020 Duke Energy Progress, LLC, Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Semora, NC SynTerra Seep ID Corrective Action Strategy East Ash Basin S-14 Groundwater remediation by extraction is proposed north-northeast of the EAB, which it is predicted to reduce flows and COI migration toward the north and S-14. West Ash Basin S-08 Cessation of sluicing to the WAB initiated in April 2019. Dewatering, source removal, and closure at the WAB is anticipated to reduce flow to this location prior to eliminating the seep. Contributing flow is monitored at NPDES Outfall 003. No additional corrective action for this location is anticipated. S-18 Cessation of sluicing to the WAB initiated in April 2019 followed by decommissioning of sluice lines, substantially reduced flow at this location. No additional corrective action for this location is anticipated. S-20 Cessation of sluicing to the WAB initiated in April 2019 followed by decommissioning of sluice lines, substantially reduced flow at this location. WAB active decanting, dewatering and closure is predicted to cause flow to cease in the future. No additional corrective action for this location is anticipated. 3.6 Potential Seep Monitoring Non-dispositioned seeps are scheduled to be monitored as required by the SOC until termination of the SOC by DWR or no later than June 2022. In addition, any contribution of flows from seeps S-08, S-14, S-18, and S-20, will also be monitored as part of routine NPDES permit monitoring.

Duke Energy and the Commission are referred to hereafter collectively as the "Parties." Stipulations: Duke Energy and the Commission hereby stipulate the following: a. This Special Order by Consent ("Special Order") addresses issues related to the elimination of seeps (as defined in subparagraphs e, f, and g below) from Duke Energy's coal ash basins during the separate and independent process of basin closure under the Coal Ash Management Act, G.S. 130A-309.200 through 130A- 309.231 ("CAMA") and the Federal Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, 40 CFR Parts 257 and 261. The Environmental Protection Agency first directed permitting authorities to consider potential impacts on surface water of seeps from earthen impoundments in 2010. At that time, Duke Energy began discussions with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality ("the Department") regarding seeps at multiple Duke Energy facilities, including identifying certain seeps in permit applications and providing data to the Department regarding seeps. In 2014, Duke Energy provided a comprehensive evaluation of all areas of wetness and formally applied for NPDES permit coverage of all seeps. Since 2014, Duke Energy has performed periodic inspections and promptly notified the Department of new seeps and sought NPDES permit coverage where appropriate. On March 4, 2016, the Department issued Notices of Violation ("NOVs") to Duke Energy related to seeps. EMC SOC WQ S 18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC p. 2 Decanting (i.e., removal of the free water on the surface of the coal ash basins), which is required before ash basins can be closed, is expected to substantially reduce or eliminate the seeps. In order to accomplish this goal of substantially reducing or eliminating seeps, this Special Order affords certain relief to Duke Energy related to the non -constructed seeps (as defined in subparagraphs f and g below), while requiring Duke Energy to accelerate the schedule for decanting as specified more fully below. Constructed seeps (as defined in subparagraphs e and f below) will be addressed in the NPDES permits. After completion of decanting, for any remaining seeps, whether constructed or non -constructed, Duke Energy must take appropriate corrective action as specified more fully below. b. Duke Energy has been issued North Carolina NPDES permits for operation of an existing wastewater treatment works at each of the following coal fired, electric generation facilities ("Duke Energy Facilities," or in the singular, "Facility"): Permit Issuance Receiving Water Facility Number County Date for Primary Outfall Mayo NC0038377 Person 07/13/2018 Mayo Reservoir Roxboro NC0003425 Person 04/09/2007 Hyco Reservoir C. The Duke Energy Facilities listed above will continue to operate and generate coal ash, and each is subject to the provisions of this Special Order. d. Wastewater treated at coal-fired electric stations includes water mixed with ash produced through the combustion of coal for the steam generation process. Ash is controlled and collected through the use of water, creating a slurry that is conveyed to impoundments or basins with earthen dike walls. In the ash basin, .the solids separate from the liquid portion, with the resulting supernatant discharged under the terms of the NPDES permit. EMC SOC WQ S18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC p. 3 e. The coal ash basins at the Duke Energy Facilities are unlined, having no impermeable barrier installed along their floors or sides. Earthen basins and dike walls are prone to the movement of liquid through porous features within those structures through a process known as seepage. Each of the Duke Energy Facilities covered by this Special Order exhibits locations adjacent to, but beyond the confines of, the coal ash basins where seepage of coal ash wastewater from the coal ash basins may intermix with groundwater, reach the land surface (or "daylight"), and may flow from that area. Once such seepage reaches the land surface, it is referred to as a "seep." Each of the seeps identified at the Duke Energy Facilities and addressed in this Special Order exhibit some indication of the presence of coal ash wastewater. Both (a) confirmed seeps and (b) areas identified as potential seeps that were later dispositioned, are identified in Attachment A. f. Some of Duke Energy's coal ash impoundments contain constructed features on or within the dam structures (such as toe drains or filter blankets) to collect seepage. This wastewater is conveyed via a pipe or a constructed channel directly to a receiving water. These discrete, identifiable, point source discharges are or will be covered and regulated by the respective NPDES permits and designated as outfalls therein. The characteristics of these wastewater flows are similar to those discharging from other permitted outfalls for ash basin effluent. In this Special Order, seeps that are (1) on or within the dam structures and (2) convey wastewater via a pipe or constructed channel directly to a receiving water are referred to as "constructed seeps." Seeps that are not on or within the dam structure or that do not convey wastewater via a pipe or constructed channel directly to a receiving stream are referred to as "non -constructed seeps." g. Non -constructed seeps at the Duke Energy Facilities often exhibit low flow volume and may be both transient and seasonal in nature, and may, for example, manifest as an area of wetness that does not flow to surface waters, a point of origin of a stream feature, or flow to an existing stream feature. These circumstances of the non -constructed seeps make them difficult to discern, characterize, quantify and/or monitor as discrete point source discharges. This creates challenges in permit development and compliance monitoring because it is difficult to accurately monitor for flow and discharge characterization. Non - constructed seeps at the Duke Energy Facilities present significant challenges to their inclusion in NPDES permits as point source discharges, but they do cause or contribute to pollution of classified waters of the State. Therefore, these non - constructed seeps are addressed in this Special Order rather than in an NPDES permit. EMC SOC WQ S 18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC p. 4 h. A subset of these non -constructed seeps at the Duke Energy Facilities do not flow directly to surface waters, but flow to some portion of an NPDES permitted wastewater treatment system. In such instances, the seeps may be referenced in NPDES permits as contributing flow to a permitted outfall. Any non -constructed seep that falls within this subset is identified in Attachment A by the following statement in its description: "This non -constructed seep flows to a portion of an NPDES wastewater treatment system." i. Investigations and observations conducted by the Department and U. S. Army Corps of Engineers staff have concluded that some seeps emanating from Duke Energy's coal ash ponds create and/or flow into features delineated as classified waters of the State or Waters of the United States. j. Collectively, the volume of non -constructed seeps is generally low compared to the volume of permitted wastewater discharges at the Duke Energy Facilities. k. In 2014, Duke Energy conducted a survey of each coal-fired electric generation station to identify potential seeps from the coal ash surface impoundments. Duke Energy included all areas of wetness identified around the impoundments as seeps, and submitted applications to include those seeps in NPDES permits. Beginning in 2015, Duke Energy has implemented semi-annual surveys to identify new seeps in the vicinities of the coal ash basins. Additional seeps have been observed and documented during these surveys and reported to the Department pursuant to a Discharge Identification Plan mandated by CAMA. Additional investigation has determined that not all of areas identified in 2014 are seeps, but each Duke Energy facility does have multiple seeps. 1. The Department issued NOVs to Duke Energy on March 4, 2016 for the seeps that emanate from the unlined coal ash surface impoundments at the Duke Energy Facilities. in. Non -constructed seeps create conditions such that certain surface water quality standards may not consistently be met at all Duke Energy monitoring sites. n. The presence of coal ash influenced water in the non -constructed seeps causes or contributes to pollution of the waters of this State, and Duke Energy is within the jurisdiction of the Commission as set forth in G.S. Chapter 143, Article 21. EMC SOC WQ S18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC p. 5 o. A list of seeps identified in the vicinities of the coal ash surface impoundments at the Mayo and Roxboro plants, as well as their locations, and the bodies of water those seeps may flow into (if applicable), can be found in Attachment A to this Special Order. P. Duke Energy must close the coal ash surface impoundments at all North Carolina coal-fired electric generating stations in accordance with applicable requirements set out in CAMA and the Federal Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, requirements of which are independent of the resolution of seeps addressed in this Special Order. q. Decanting of wastewater performed at Duke Energy's coal ash basins is expected to eliminate or substantially reduce the seeps from the ash basins at the Duke Energy Facilities. Since this Special Order is by consent, the Parties acknowledge that review of the same is not available to the Parties in the N.C. Office of Administrative Hearings. Furthermore, neither party shall file a petition for judicial review concerning the terms of this Special Order. 2. Duke Energy, desiring to resolve the matters causing or contributing to pollution of the waters of the State described above, hereby agrees to do the following: a. Penalties 1) Upfront Penalty. As settlement of all alleged violations due to seepage at these Duke Energy Facilities, pay the Department, by check payable to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, a penalty in the amount of $150,000, calculated based upon $12,000 each for ten constructed seeps identified prior to January 1, 2015 and $6,000 each for five non -constructed seeps identified prior to January 1, 2015. A certified check in the amount of $150,000.00 must be made payable to the Department of Environmental Quality and sent to the Director of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) at 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 by no later than thirty (30) days following the date on which this Special Order is approved and executed by the Commission, and received by Duke Energy. EMC SOC WQ S 18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC p. 6 No penalty shall be assessed for seeps identified after December 31, 2014, given Duke Energy's inclusion of seeps in permit applications and compliance with the Discharge Identification Plan required under CAMA. By entering into this Special Order, Duke Energy makes no admission of liability, violation or wrongdoing. Except as otherwise provided herein,' payment of the upfront penalty does not absolve Duke Energy of its responsibility for the occurrence or impacts of any unauthorized discharges in the area of the Duke Energy Facilities that may be discovered in the future, nor does the payment preclude DWR from taking enforcement action for additional violations of the State's environmental laws. 2) Stipulated Penalties. Duke Energy agrees that unless excused under paragraph 5, Duke Energy will pay the Department, by check payable to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, stipulated penalties according to the following schedule for failure to perform activities described in paragraphs 2(b, c, and d), or for failure to comply with interim action levels listed in Attachment A. Failure to meet a deadline in the Compliance $1,000.00/day for the first seven Schedule in 2(b) of this Special Order days; $2,000.00/day thereafter Failure to meet any other deadline in this $1,000.00/day for the first seven Special Order days; $2,000.00/day thereafter Exceedance of an interim action level listed in $4,500.00 per monitored exceedance Attachment A Monitoring frequency violations $1,000.00 per violation Failure to submit, within 210 days of the completion of decanting at each Facility, adequate amendments to groundwater Corrective Action Plans or Closure Plans to $5,000.00 per day, to a maximum of address all remaining seeps, whether $1,000,000.00 per electric generating constructed or non -constructed, through facility. corrective action as applicable under ara ra h 2 d of this Special Order.2 1 See especially paragraph 2(a)(2) excepting newly identified seeps from future penalties under certain conditions. 2 Failure to adequately implement any amended Corrective Action Plan or Closure Plan will be handled in the normal course. EMC SOC WQ S18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC p. 7 As long as Duke Energy remains in compliance with the terms of this Special Order, as well as CAMA and conditions of any approvals issued thereunder, the Department shall not assess civil penalties for newly identified seeps. b. Compliance Schedule. Duke Energy shall undertake the following activities in accordance with the indicated time schedule. No later than fourteen (14) calendar days after any date identified for accomplishment of any activity, Duke Energy shall submit to the Director of DWR written notice of compliance or noncompliance therewith. In the case of compliance, the notice shall include the date compliance was achieved along with supporting documentation if applicable. In the case of noncompliance, the notice shall include a statement of the reason(s) for noncompliance, remedial action(s) taken, and a statement identifying the extent to which subsequent dates or times for accomplishment of listed activities may be affected. Duke Energy shall accelerate compliance with the requirements of G.S. 130A- 309.210(d) and (f) such that all projects necessary to eliminate discharges of stormwater into the surface impoundments at the Duke Energy Facilities and to convert to dry bottom ash handling shall be complete prior to the deadline for initiating decanting set out below. 1) Complete dry ash handling ro"ects in accordance with the followin schedule Facility Fly As Bottom Ash Mayo Complete Complete Roxboro Complete 5/31 /2019 2) Initiation of Decantinz Mayo 6/3 0/2019 Roxboro 6/30/2019 3) Completion of Decanting Mayo 12/31 /2020 Roxboro 6/3 0/2020 This schedule is premised upon timely issuance of necessary permits or approvals, and no requirement imposed by DWR to implement physical/chemical treatment during decanting except as required by an NPDES permit. Should any of these assumptions prove to be incorrect, the Parties shall renegotiate these deadlines, provided that the final expiration date of this Special Order will not be affected by such renegotiation. EMC SOC WQ S18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC P. 8 4) Termination of Special Order This Special Order shall terminate on a facility -by -facility basis on the later of the following dates: • 180 days following completion of decanting; or • 30 days following the approval of an amended groundwater Corrective Action Plan and/or Closure Plan as appropriate (if an amendment is submitted in compliance with subparagraph d. below). C. Additional Compliance Measures. Duke Energy shall undertake the following additional compliance measures: 1) If the monitoring of any classified water of the State receiving flow from seeps regulated by this Special Order indicates exceedance of any interim action level established by the Special Order, Duke Energy shall increase monitoring at that location from quarterly to monthly until concentrations of monitored characteristics return to those observed at the initiation of the Special Order. If any interim action level established by the Special Order is exceeded by more than 20% in a single sampling event, or exceeded for two (2) consecutive monitoring events, in addition to paying the associated stipulated penalty, Duke Energy shall conduct a re -assessment of the contributing seep(s), including, but not limited to, evaluation of proposed remedial actions for treatment and/or control of the seep such that impacts to the receiving waters are quickly mitigated. A report compiling the findings of the re -assessment, including proposed remedial actions, shall be provided to the Director of DWR within 60 days of any applicable exceedance. Following its review, DWR shall notify Duke Energy of its concurrence or disapproval of Duke Energy's proposed remedial actions. 2) Once the decanting process is initiated, within thirty (30) days after the end of each quarter, Duke Energy shall provide reports on the status of decanting work and other activities undertaken with respect to closure of each coal ash surface impoundment to DWR. The quarterly reports are due by April 30, July 30, October 30 and January 30 while this Special Order is in effect. The reports are to be submitted as follows: one copy must be mailed to the appropriate Regional Office Supervisor for each facility and one copy must be mailed to the Water Quality Permitting Program, Division of Water Resources, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. EMC SOC WQ S 18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC P. 9 3) Duke Energy shall conduct annual comprehensive surveys 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 the surveys, including a section analyzing the effect decanting of the basin(s) has on seep flows, accompanied by copies of the photographs noted above ("Annual Seep Report"), shall be submitted to DWR in conjunction with submittal of the April 30 quarterly report noted in 2(c)(2) above. This Annual Seep Report must list any seep that has been dispositioned (as described below) during the previous year, including an analysis of the manner of disposition. 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. 4) 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 basin(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. EMC SOC WQ S 18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC P. 10 d. Further Corrective Action. Following completion of decanting, if any seeps (including both constructed and non -constructed seeps) have not been certified by the Director of DWR as dispositioned (as described in subparagraph c. above), Duke Energy shall conduct a characterization of those seeps.3 Duke Energy shall submit a report on the findings of these characterizations ("Seep Characterization Report") to the Director of DWR within 150 days of completion of decanting at each Facility (i.e., within 60 days of the submittal of the Final Seep Report). The Seep Characterization Report must include all sampling data for each remaining seep as well as Duke Energy's evaluation of the jurisdictional status of all seeps at the relevant Facility. The determination regarding whether a surface water feature is a classified water of the State rests with DWR. Within 60 days of the submittal of the Seep Characterization Report, Duke Energy shall submit a complete and adequate proposed amendment to the groundwater Corrective Action Plan and/or Closure Plan as appropriate for the Facility describing how any seeps identified in the Seep Characterization Report will be managed in a manner that will be sufficient to protect public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and natural resources. This proposed amendment will go to public comment. Duke Energy shall submit documentation that the proposed modification has been submitted to the appropriate division within the Department that has authority for approving modification of the groundwater Corrective Action Plan and/or Closure Plan. The content of, and DEQ's review of, an amendment to a groundwater Corrective Action Plan shall be consistent with Title 15A, Chapter 2L of the N.C. Administrative Code (specifically including 2L.0106(h)-(o)). The amendment to the Corrective Action Plan and/or Closure Plans shall be implemented by Duke Energy in accordance with the deadlines contained therein, as approved or conditioned by the Department. Failure by Duke Energy to implement the amendment will be handled in the normal course by the Department in accordance with its enforcement procedures (i.e., outside this Special Order). 3 If any seep is dispositioned between the time that the Final Seep Report is submitted and the time the Seep Characterization Report is submitted, an analysis of the manner of disposition must be included in the Seep Characterization Report, and Duke Energy must seek certification of such a disposition from the Director of DWR. Only if such certification is received prior to the due date of the proposed amendment described in paragraph 2(d) may such a seep, certified as dispositioned, be omitted from the proposed amendment. EMC SOC WQ S18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC P. 11 For clarity, listed below is a summary of the timetable for the documents due after completion of decanting (as described in 2(c)(4) and 2(d) above): Document Due Date Final Seep Report 90 days after completion of decanting 150 days after completion of Seep Characterization Report decanting (i.e., 60 days after submission of Final Seep Report) Proposed amendment to groundwater 210 days after completion of Corrective Action Plan and/or Closure decanting (i.e., 60 days after Plan submission of Seep Characterization Report) e. Interim Action Levels. 1) Duke Energy shall perform monitoring of waters receiving flow from non - constructed seeps in accordance with the schedules listed in Attachments A and B, except as noted in paragraph 2(c)(1) above. 2) Upon the complete execution of this Special Order, with regard to non - constructed seeps, interim action levels for the receiving waters (which are minor tributaries) are hereby established as noted in Attachment A. The interim action levels are site -specific. Duke Energy shall monitor at approved sampling sites to ensure interim action levels are met. Interim action levels shall remain effective in the designated surface waters until the applicable termination date in paragraph 2(b)(4) is reached. 3) Monitoring associated with seeps covered by this Special Order is exempt from the electronic reporting requirements associated with NPDES permits. Results of monitoring required exclusively per the terms of this Special Order shall be reported to the Director of DWR in a spreadsheet/worksheet format agreed to by Duke Energy and DWR. Monitoring data shall be submitted to the Director of DWR in a digital format no later than 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter for as long as the Special Order is in effect. Monitoring data shall be sent to the following email address: desocdata@ncdenr.gov. Data from those sites with monitoring required exclusively per the terms of the Special Order will be posted on DWR's website to provide the public with the opportunity for viewing. Duke Energy will continue to operate its coal ash surface impoundments in such a manner that their performance is optimized, and potential for surface waters to be affected by seeps is minimized. EMC SOC WQ S 18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC p. 12 4. Duke Energy shall make available on its external website the NPDES permits, this Special Order and all reports required under this Special Order for each of the Duke Energy Facilities no later than thirty (30) days following their effective or submittal dates. 5. Duke Energy and the Commission agree that the stipulated penalties specified in paragraph 2(a)(2) are not due if Duke Energy satisfies DWR that noncompliance was caused solely by: a. An act of God; b. An act of war; C. An intentional act or omission of a third party, but this defense shall not be available if the act or omission is that of an employee or agent of Duke Energy or if the act or omission occurs in connection with a contractual relationship with Duke Energy; d. An extraordinary event beyond the Duke Energy's control, specifically including any court order staying the effectiveness of any necessary permit or approval. Contractor delays or failure to obtain funding will not be considered as events beyond Duke Energy's control; or e. Any combination of the above causes. 6. Failure within thirty (30) days of receipt of written demand by DWR to pay the stipulated penalties, or challenge them by a contested case petition pursuant to G.S. 150B-23, will be grounds for a collection action, which the Attorney General is hereby authorized to initiate. The only issue in such an action will be whether the thirty (30) days has elapsed. 7. Any non -constructed seeps causing or contributing to pollution of waters of the State associated with the coal ash impoundments at Duke Energy's Mayo and Roxboro electric generation stations, and listed in Attachment A to this Special Order, are hereby deemed covered by this Special Order. Any newly -identified non -constructed seeps discovered during the annual investigations for seeps referenced in paragraph 2(c)(3) above, or at any other time while this Special Order is in effect, and timely reported to the Department per the terms of CAMA and this Special Order, shall be deemed covered by the terms of the Special Order, retroactive to the time of their discovery. Newly -identified non - constructed seeps must be sampled for the presence of those characteristics listed in Attachment B to this Order. Newly -identified non -constructed seeps found to be causing or contributing to pollution of the waters of the State, with the effect of causing a violation of water quality standards in surface waters not already referenced in the Special Order, may require modification of the Special Order to address those circumstances. EMC SOC NVQ S18-005 Duke Energy Progress, LLC p. 13 8. Noncompliance with the terms of this Special Order is subject to enforcement action in addition to the above stipulated penalties, including, but not limited to injunctive relief pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6C or termination of this Special Order by the Director of DWR upon ten (10) days' notice to Duke Energy. Noncompliance with the terms of this Special Order will not be subject to civil penalties in addition to the above stipulated penalties. 9. This Special Order and any terms or conditions contained herein, hereby supersede any and all previous Special Orders, Enforcement Compliance Schedule Letters, terms, conditions, and limits contained therein issued in connection with NPDES permits NCO038377 and NC0003425. 10. This Special Order may be modified at the Commission's discretion, provided the Commission is satisfied that Duke Energy has made good faith efforts to secure funding, complete all construction, and achieve compliance within the dates specified. In accordance with applicable law, modification of this Special Order will go to public notice prior to becoming effective. 11. Failure to pay the up -front penalty within thirty (30) days of execution of this Special Order will terminate this Special Order. 12. In addition to any other applicable requirement, each report required to be submitted by Duke Energy under this Special Order shall be signed by a plant manager or a corporate official responsible for environmental management and compliance, and shall include the following certification: I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations. 13. This Special Order shall become effective in accordance with state law, and once effective, Duke Energy shall comply with all schedule dates, terms, and conditions herein.

Mann -Kendall is a useful trend test in that it is non -parametric and does not require normal distribution of data. To perform the Mann -Kendall trend test at Roxboro, the data must first be processed as follows: • Samples taken in the same month must be removed. If more than one sample is present in a calendar month, the most complete sample will be kept. If samples are identically complete, the oldest sample is kept. All other samples in that month will be considered duplicates and removed. • If multiple detection limits are present, only the lowest non -detect values are included for each constituent. • Non -detects are treated as the detection limit. Next, the data must meet the following requirements for a Mann -Kendall trend test to be applicable: • There must be at least four detect measurements. • Non -detects must make up less than or equal to 50 percent of measurements. In a Mann -Kendall trend test, each value is compared to the proceeding values to calculate whether the value has increased, decreased, or stayed the same over time. These comparisons are recorded as: 1 (increasing), -1 (decreasing), or 0 (stayed the same). These comparisons give an S value, where S indicates the type of trend. A negative S value indicates a decreasing trend, and a positive S value indicates an increasing trend. Whether or not these trends are statistically significant is dependent on the two-sided p value. A p value ranges from 0 to 1 and indicates whether the results are due to chance or the results are statistically significant. Greater p values indicate a trend is not statistically significant, and a p value less than 0.1 indicates a statistically significant trend. All Mann -Kendall trend tests are performed in the program RStudio using the "Kendall" package. Page 1-1 Mann -Kendall Trend Test Analysis August 2020 Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Duke Energy Progress, LLC SynTerra 2.0 TIME VERSUS CONCENTRATION PLOTS Plots of concentration over time provide a visual representation of possible trends in the data. All plots can be viewed in Figure 1 to Figure 22. Plots are grouped by constituent, and within the figure, a plot of concentration over time is displayed for each location that has data for that constituent. All locations and constituents included in these plots can be found in Table 1. Trends from the Mann -Kendall tests are displayed on plots with colored borders representing trend conclusions. Blue indicates no trend was present, green indicates a decreasing trend, gold indicates an increasing trend, and no color indicates the constituent -location pair cannot be analyzed for trends due to a lack of detect measurements. Detect measurements are shown as a black point, whereas non -detect measurements are shown as an open circle. Page 2-1 Mann -Kendall Trend Test Analysis August 2020 Roxboro Steam Electric Plant, Duke Energy Progress, LLC SynTerra 3.0 MANN-KENDALL TREND TEST RESULTS Results of the Mann -Kendall trend tests are displayed in Table 2. Trend analysis could be performed for only 37 location -constituent pairs due to a lack of detect measurements. Either there are less than four detects, or the number of non -detects is greater than the number of detects. The average percentage of non -detects for all constituent -location pairs included in the Mann -Kendall trend test is 48 percent. The large number of non -detect measurements present in the dataset indicates that many constituent -location pairs have concentrations less than the regulatory limit and are not predicted to be of concern at Site. Locations not displayed in Table 2 are excluded due to having less than minimum number of samples required to run the "Kendall" package in RStudio. Locations must have at least three samples to be included, but individual location -constituent pairs with less than three measurements can be analyzed as long as the location itself has three samples. However, it is important to note that location -constituent pairs with less than four detects cannot be analyzed for trends based on the criteria described in Section 1.0. Out of the 37 constituent -location pairs that have trend conclusions, 73 percent are stable with no trends (27 out of 37 constituent -location pairs), and 27 percent have statistically significant decreasing trends (10 out of 37 constituent -location pairs). Overall, the results of the Mann -Kendall trend tests indicate a system that has been geochemically stable over the sampling period, with concentrations of constituents remaining stable or in some cases decreasing over time.
