A check for $100 made payable to NCDEQ for the application processing fee and an additional copy of the application package are attached. Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC has assessed its need for continued coverage under General Permit NCG560000. This 'assessment involved an evaluation of our company's usage of pesticide products, our principal business entities that exert control of the application of pesticide products, and our organizational structure that aligns the decision -makers exerting financial control with the principal business units. !life have concluded that there are three principal business entities in Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC that each warrant an evaluation of the discharge of pesticide products in regard to exceeding one or more of the applicable annual treatment area thresholds found in Table 1 of NCG560000. These entities are, Duke Energy' Carolinas, LLC (Transmission & Distribution) - controlling transmission and delivery of electricity in North Carolina Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Generation) - controlling power generation (fossil, hydroelectric, nuclear, combustion` turbine, and renewable generation plants) in North Carolina, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Business Services) - controlling real estate, land and lake management in North Carolina. Pesticide management activities within these principal' business entities include. Transmission & Distribution - Discharges of pesticide products into waters of the state exceed the applicable annual treatment area thresholds found in Table 1 of NCG560000. Typical activities include vegetation management along transmission and distribution right-of-ways, substations, switchyards and similar areas associated with the Transmission & Distribution systems, Therefore, the enclosed N01 is for continued coverage under NCG560000 for this business entity.. The pesticides application areas are generally depicted in Attachments A - Tri M Cie au ap inc an ar( me rn� 44D Areas. Is Ic areas are generalIN Vegetation Control (aquatic weed / algae and terrestrial vegetation). Since these Business Services used activities may not exceed the applicable annual thresholds, we are including these activities as "Discretionary" in this NOI.
