Subject: Belews Creek Steam Station
Craig Road Landfill Expansion, Stokes County
Landfill Intake Structure — Dust Suppression
Dear Ms. Higgins:
Duke Energy Carolinas, Inc. is proposing to install an intake structure at its ash landfill site on Craig Road
at the Belews Creek Steam Station located in Stokes County, North Carolina. The intake is needed to
meet the dust control requirements of the solid waste permit. The current water source for dust
suppression is remote to the landfill site. Attempts were also made to drill groundwater wells for a water
source; however, drilling was unable to locate a well with sufficient yield. As an alternative, we are
pursuing a nationwide permit to allow for the construction of an intake structure on Belews Lake, which is
both close to the Craig Road Landfill site and a sufficient water source.
The project will consist of the installation of a lake intake screen to develop a landfill water supply system
for wetting of roadways and undercarriage truck washing station. Impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional
area for the project include the excavation of a trench in Belews Lake approximately 3' wide, 2' deep and
30' long for suction piping. The impacts of the excavation have been minimized by the use of concrete
ballasts to hold down piping. Impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas will be limited to 0.002 acres of
open waters.
Duke Energy Carolinas, Inc. believes that this project does not meet any of the nine (9) thresholds
required by Water Quality Certification No. 3890 for written concurrence by DWQ. Therefore, we are
enclosing two (2) copies of the Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) to your office for your files.
Thank you for your assistance with this project. If you have any questions or comments regarding this
letter please contact me at (919) 546 -7457 or steve.cahoonD- r)gnmail.com.

d) Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre -
construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated, as appropriate.
RELATED LAWS
e) All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the
penmittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Quality at (919) 807 -6300 or
(800) 858 -0368 and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances
Control Act will be followed.
PROJECT MAINTENANCE
f) Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, all fill material placed in waters or wetlands shall
be generated from an upland source and will be clean and free of any pollutants except in trace
quantities. Metal products, organic materials (including debris from land clearing activities), or
unsightly debris will not be used.
g) The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall provide
each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or maintenance of this
project with a copy of this permit. A copy of this permit, including all conditions, shall be
available at the project site during construction and maintenance of this project.

Special Conditions, Action ID SAW -2011- 00972; Duke Energy's Belews Creek Steam
Station Craig Road Landfill Expansion (including potential expansion into the adjacent
FGD Landfill)
h) The permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary to
prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the permit
area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or similar
appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of earthen fill,
and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must remain in
full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North
Carolina General Statutes Chapter I I 3 Article 4).
i) The permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this permit or upon its expiration
before completion of the work will, without expense to the United States and in such time and
manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative may direct, restore the
water or wetland to its pre - project condition.
ENFORCEMENT
j) Violations of these conditions or violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section
10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act must be reported in writing to the Wilmington District U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers within 24 hours of the permittee's discovery of the violation.
CULVERTS
k) All authorized culverts will be installed to allow the passage of low stream flows and the
continued movement of fish and other aquatic life as well as to prevent headcutting of the
streambed. For all box culverts and for pipes greater than 48 inches in diameter, the bottom of
the pipe will be buried at least one foot below the bed of the stream unless burial would be
impractical and the Corps of Engineers has waived this requirement. For culverts 48 inches in
diameter or smaller, the bottom of the pipe must be buried below the bed of the stream to a depth
equal to or greater than 20 percent of the diameter of the culvert. Design and placement of
culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be
conducted in a manner that may result in disequilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks,
adjacent to, upstream or downstream of the structures. In order to allow for the continued
movement of bed load and aquatic organisms, existing stream channel widths and depths will be
maintained at the inlet and outlet ends of culverts. Riprap armoring of streams at culvert inlets
and outlets shall be minimized above the ordinary high water elevation in favor of
bioengineering techniques such as bank sloping, erosion control matting and revegetation with
deep - rooted, woody plants.
BORROW AND WASTE
1) To ensure that all borrow and waste activities occur on high ground and do not result in the
degradation of adjacent wetlands and streams, except as authorized by this permit, the permittee
shall require its contractors and/or agents to identify all areas to be used to borrow material, or to
dispose of dredged, fill, or waste material. The permittee shall provide the USACE with
appropriate maps indicating the locations of proposed borrow or waste sites as soon as the
permittee has that information.

Special Conditions, Action ID SAW - 2011 - 00972; Duke Enem's Belews Creek Steam
Station Craie Road Landfill Expansion (includine potential expansion into the adjacent
FGD Landfill)
The permittee will coordinate with the USACE before approving any borrow or waste sites that
are within 400 feet of any streams or wetlands. All jurisdictional wetland lines on borrow and
waste sites shall be verified by the Corps of Engineers and shown on the approved reclamation
plans. The permittee shall ensure that all such areas comply with Special Condition b) of this
permit, and shall require and maintain documentation of the location and characteristics of all
borrow and disposal sites associated with this project. This information will include data
regarding soils, vegetation and hydrology sufficient to clearly demonstrate compliance with the
Special Condition b). All information will be available to the USACE upon request. The
permittee shall require its contractors to complete and execute reclamation plans for each waste
and borrow site and provide written documentation that the reclamation plans have been
implemented and all work is completed. This documentation will be provided to the Corps of
Engineers within 30 days of the completion of the reclamation work.
MITIGATION
m) In order to compensate for impacts to 5,129 linear feet of stream and 0.75 acre of wetland the
permittee shall make payment to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP)
in the amount determined by the NCEEP, sufficient to perform the restoration of 5,129 linear
feet of warm water stream and 0.75 acre of riparian wetlands in the Roanoke River Basin,
Cataloging Unit 03010103.
Construction within jurisdictional areas on the property shall begin only after the permittee has
made payments per the below mitigation table to the NCEEP and provided a written
confirmation to the Corps that it agrees to accept responsibility for the mitigation work required
by the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), as outlined in the letter dated December 13,
2011, from Michael Ellison, EEP Deputy Director. Pursuant to the In- Lieu -Fee Instrument
signed July 28, 2010, between the State of North Carolina, Ecosystem Enhancement Program
and the US Army Corps of Engineers. The applicant will make phased mitigation payments to
the NCEEP as listed in the table below. The cost of credits will be the current price at the time
of payment, not the current price at the time the permit was issued. No work on any phase of the
project shall begin until the payment for that phase has been issued to the NCEEP.

S &ME Project No.s 1356 -12 -009
Dear Mr. Homans:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) received your April 26, 2012
letter in which you inquired about any trout concerns associated with repairs to the ash pond dam at Duke
Energy's Belews Creek Steam Station. Comments from the WRC are offered for your consideration
under provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et
seq.) and the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332 (2)(c).
Trout are not found in this part of Stokes County and the trout moratorium would not be applicable to any
work here that requires a Nationwide Permit. However, there are rare species in the Dan River such as
green floater mussels (Lasmigona subviridis, US — FSC and NC- Endangered) and bigeye jumprock
(Moxostoma ariommum, NC — Threatened) that should be considered during project implementation.
The WRC reviews all Nationwide Permit applications in Stokes County, so please forward the application
for this project to me once it is prepared.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me at (828) 452-
0422 extension 24 if you have any questions about these comments.
Cordially,

De wbemnr Duke Energy I Withdrawal from Belews Lake for Dust Depression at Ash Landfill 11

1. Introduction
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC owns and operates an ash landfill at the Belews Creek Steam Station. New
dust mitigation regulations have prompted Duke to develop a water supply for wetting of roadways and
operation of an undercarriage truck washing station. Duke decided to seek engineering services to assist
in designing a reliable water source. Based on their available options, the construction of an intake screen
with pumps and an onsite storage tank is the most viable option. Duke has contracted with Dewberry for
design and construction phase services related to the installation of a lake intake structure, pump station,
force main, water storage tank, and a truck filling station.
2. Background
Duke is currently performing wetting operations to comply with dust control requirements as mandated
in their ash landfill operational permit. However, the water source for this operation is remote to the
landfill. Earlier attempts were made to drill groundwater wells to meet the needs of this operation.
However, these drilling attempts failed to locate a well(s) with sufficient yield.
Due to the immediate proximity of Belews Lake to the ash landfill, Duke Energy is pursuing withdrawal of
water from the Lake to meet the needs of this project.
During the period between 2008 to 2011 Duke Energy permitted ( USACOE General Permit Verification
SAW 20og -o18o) and installed a permanent raw water pumping station that now withdrawals water
from the Dan River during low lake conditions and transfers this water to Belews Lake to satisfy power
plant water demands during periods of drought. This pump station has a withdrawal capability of up to
80 cfs (52 MGD) and currently utilizes only two pumps to transfer up to 50 cfs (32 MGD) of raw water to
Belews Lake when adequate lake level conditions are not being maintained. The USACOE General Permit
Verification effective April 20,2010 and expiring April 2015 sets forth conditions by which Duke Energy
can withdrawal from the Dan River so that aquatic environments are protected.
During normal years, Belews Lake natural watershed fills the lake in the spring to full pool elevation of
724.5 (MSL). The lowest level down to which to lake level can fall before interrupting operations at the
power plant is 7i5.o feet. The storage in Belews Lake between these two elevations is 34,435 acre -ft. The
maximum withdrawal rate from Belews Lake for operation of the power plant is approximately io cfs (6.5
MGD).
Given the very large storage volume and safe yield of Belews Lake and the current supplemental water
supply offered by the new Dan River intake, it is recognized that the o.15 MGD water supply demand for
the landfill dust suppression system will have a non - measurable effect in the overall water balance in the
Lake. Thus, the use of Belews Lake as source water for this purpose is being pursued by Duke Energy
through this project.

3. Basis of Selection of a Lake Withdrawal
To avoid using surface water for source water supply for the dust suppression system multiple attempts
were initially made by Duke Energy to drill and develop adequate groundwater well(s). None of the test
boring was successful in locating a supply with adequate yield.
Water supply systems for the power plant are remote from this site and were ruled out as a possible
source due to cost of a pumping system and recognizing that the system they would be utilizing also
utilizes the lake as the source supply.
As it was discussed in Section 2 "Background" the Belews Lake is a large water supply with natural and
supplemental water sources being Belews Lake watershed and a new Duke Energy raw water transfer
station located on the Dan River. In lieu of this and the absence of alternative groundwater or potable
supply sources, a new intake on Belews Lake is selected for construction.
Due to near relative location of the existing landfill to a proposed phased landfill expansion, and the
presence of a proposed undercarriage truck washing system that will serve the new landfill, the proposed
intake is proposed to be located in this same area (Ref. Figure 4aand aerial figure 4.1-1.
The proposed fill station location will eliminate excess hauling and also provide water for the truck
undercarriage wash system shown in figure 4.1 -2.

4. General Design Criteria
Major Design Components
• Lake Intake Structure
• Pump Building with pumps, air compressor, electrical controls, pipes, etc.
• Raw Water Supply Force Main
• Ground Storage Tank
• Truck Fill Station
Design Criteria
• Average Estimated Daily Demand: z5o,000 gpd
• Normal Operating Hours: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (io hrs)
• Peak Hourly Demand:16,000 gph
• 200 gpm peak withdrawal lake rate via simplex self- priming pump
• 30,000 gallon effective storage ground tank
• Truck Fill Station with designed for overhead filling
• Minimum Truck fill rate at average effective volume tank level =400 gpm
• Tank and fill station located adjacent to undercarriage wash system
• Intake and pumps located in the vicinity of the storage tank and wash system
• Top of intake screen set at elevation 718.
• Intake Screen slotted opening size = 2mm
• Screen approach velocity= 0.5 fps
4.1 Intake Location and Design Criteria
The topography of the area and proposed grade changes helped to determine the location of the intake
screen. Consideration was given to water depth, amount of estimated submerged disturbance area that
would be impacted, proximity to the proposed fill station, constructability, and accessibility. The selected
location indicated on Figure 4.xmeets the depth requirement and is the most accessible given Duke's plans
for constructing a leachate storage basin in this area. Two other locations also considered for the intake
are slightly closer but require more difficult construction methods and will not be as easily maintained
due steeper slope conditions.
Proposed key design criteria for this project are as follows:
Screen and piping shall be capable of withdrawing water at 200 gpm
Select placement of intake screen to enable operation during lowest water conditions and
minimize potential impacts from sediment. Intake screen and piping must be submerged during
normal operating conditions. The Belews Lake normal full pond elevation is 724.5 feet msl and
the low normal pool water level is 721'. The river pump station begins to fill the lake once the
level drops below 721.5'. Power plant lake withdrawal pumps will not operate below 715.o.
Based on these elevations a top of screen elevation of 718 ft is selected.
Intake screen to be installed at required depth but as close to the lake edge of bank as possible to
reduce the length of bottom disturbance below normal pool elevation.
Intake piping, screen, and ballast to be preassembled to avoid unnecessary excavation (see figure

To comply with NWP 18 the targeted design goal for fill material associated with the intake
structure and piping is o cubic yards with a maximum allowance of io cubic yards.
4.2 Pump Station & Force Main Design Criteria
In order to transfer water from the lake into a storage tank a pumping facility is needed. The following is
a list of key design components:
• Three sided metal building
• Suction Lift Pump Rated for: Approximately zoo gpm @ ioo' TDH
• Air Compressor
• Air Burst System
• Electrical Controls
• Flow Meter with no-flow pump protection logic
• Force main piping: Approximately iioo'of HDPE
• PLC /RTU that will transfer pump data to an existing radio telemetry system
The pump station location is set as close as possible to the intake screen and at an elevation that makes
the use of a suction lift pump feasible. The use of a suction lift pump eliminates the need for a deep wet
well associated with submersible pumps. Rather than having a wet well, valve vault, and building a sole
building can be used to house all system components.
4.3 Tank and Truck Fill Station Design Criteria
In order to meet the design criteria listed above in this section 30,000 gallons of effective storage volume
is needed. The most cost effective long term solution is a welded and painted steel tank. The design and
construction cost associated with a raised foundation for a 30,000 gallon storage tank is excessive. Over
sizing a ground storage tank to have partial dead storage and partial effective storage is the most cost
effective option.
The discharge height of the truck fill station will be 15'. The piping will be 6" in diameter and in order to
achieve a 400 gpm fill rate, 2' of head is needed above the discharge height. Therefore, the lower i7' of
storage in the tank will be unusable. In order to have 30,000 gallons of effective storage the tank volume
above 17' needs to be at least 30,000 gallons.
A 32' tall 20' diameter tank is a common tank size that meets the design criteria. The overall tank volume
is approximately 75,00o gallons and the effective usable volume is 35,000 gallons.
The truck fill piping will consist of rigid overhead piping that allows drivers to park beneath and begin
filling. The design is based on the trucks having an open hatch that water dumps into. An electric
actuated valve will be opened and closed by the driver during fill operations via remote control.
There will also be some small diameter piping connected to the tank discharge line. A small i th" HDPE
waterline will be routed from the tank to the undercarriage truck wash. This line will be run within 5' of
Dewberry' Duke Energy I Withdrawal from 9elews Lake for Dust Depression at Ash Landfill 15

the truck wash and plugged for future connection by the truck wash installing contractor. Another i"
HDPE line will connect to the discharge piping for installation of a yard hydrant at the base of the tank.
The tank location will be adjacent to the truck washing area at a site that agrees with the geotechnical
results proved by S&ME. The truck fill design will allow trucks to be filled without obstructing vehicles
utilizing the undercarriage wash system. The pipe orientation will allow the trucks to drive through and
fill without having to back up.
4.4 Construction
4.4.1 Avoidance and Mitigation Measures
• Proper erosion and sediment (E&S) control measures must be maintained at all tunes.
• Excavation, final grading and site restoration will all be addressed in a detailed sediment control
plan. This plan will be submitted for approval through NCDENR Winston Salem office.
• The intake will be positioned as close to the bank as possible to reduce land disturbance.
• The pipe installed for the intake will be fused HDPE and anchored with concrete ballasts to allow
the contractor to set the entire pipe and intake in place without the need for trenched excavations.
This method minimizes disturbance to the lake.
• No wetlands are present above the normal pool of the lake within the project area. Table 4.4
shows the online data search for threatened and endangered species in the area. Based on this
data there seems to be no immediate threats or concerns.

Intake Screen will be placed at a depth where
typical spawning does not take place.
The intake screen openings are 2mm to reduce the
possibility of fish entrainment. The suction rate and
velocity are also relatively low which reduces the
1 chance of drawing fish' into the'screen.
Pre- Assembling the piping, screen, and ballasts for
the intake reduces the need for trenching and
sediment deposition into the lake. A silt curtain will
also be installed as a secondary precaution to
prevent sediment disturbed in the lake from leaving
the construction area.
The lake embankment disturbed during installation of the intake piping will be re- vegetated with
approved indigenous plants and rip rap for stabilization. Areas surrounding the pump station will be
cleared of debris and vegetated with grass mixtures. The entire area around the tank and truck fill will be
a concrete pad.

4.4.3 Sequence of Construction
The construction sequence is designed to minimize environmental disturbance. The contractor must
install all erosion and sediment control measures prior to beginning construction. Once E&3 measures
are installed work may begin. As construction is completed the contractor will restore disturbed areas to
prevent unnecessary erosion.

5. Permits
5.1 General
Duke Energy's preliminary discussions with John Thomas of the USACOE determined that this project
may fall under Nationwide Permit 18 (NWP 18). One of the requirements of the NWP 18 is that fill
material placed in the lake below normal pool be less than io cubic yards.

5.2 Summary of Nationwide Permit 18 Environmental Considerations
Nationwide Permit 18 requires a general online review for the following items that can disqualifies the
project:
• Navigation
• Aquatic life movements
• Spawning areas
• Migratory bird breeding areas
• Shellfish beds
• Suitable material
• Water supply intakes
• Adverse effects from impoundments
• Management of water flows
• Fills within loo -year floodplain
• Equipment
• Soil erosion and sediment controls
• Removal of temporary fills
• Proper maintenance
• Single and Complete Project
• Wild and Scenic Rivers
• Tribal Rights
• Endangered Species
• Migratory Birds and Bald and Golden
Eagles
• Historic Properties
• Discovery of Previously Unknown
Remains and Artifacts
• Designated Critical Resource Waters
• Mitigation
• Safety of Impoundment Structures
• Water Quality
The above items have been reviewed and Table 5.2 gives a summary of findings. Given the nature of the
project there are no immediate threats or concerns. Two environmental considerations requiring
avoidance are as follows:
Erosion and Sediment Control - Formal detailed design will be required before an approvable Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan can be developed. Goals of this plan will be to minimize disturbance, avoid where
possible further concentration of storm flows, strategically place adequate silt fencing, install check dams,
and diversion ditching. Erosion and Sediment control design features will be subject to approval by
NCDENR Division of Land Quality and USACOE.
Dewberry' Duke Energy I Withdrawal from Belews Lake for Dust Depression at Ash Landfill 19

Flood Zone - A no net fill increase strategy will be implemented in the final design and grading scheme.
This will be accomplished by removing soil from the lake embanlanent and replacing it with rip rap stone
of equal or less volume. This will require submittal and approval of design plans by the USACOE and
Rockingham County.

Subject: Belews Creek Steam Station
Craig Road Landfill Expansion, Stokes County
Landfill Intake Structure — Dust Suppression
Dear Ms. Higgins:
Duke Energy Carolinas, Inc. is proposing to install an intake structure at its ash landfill site on Craig Road
at the Belews Creek Steam Station located in Stokes County, North Carolina. The intake is needed to
meet the dust control requirements of the solid waste permit. The current water source for dust
suppression is remote to the landfill site. Attempts were also made to drill groundwater wells for a water
source; however, drilling was unable to locate a well with sufficient yield. As an alternative, we are
pursuing a nationwide permit to allow for the construction of an intake structure on Belews Lake, which is
both close to the Craig Road Landfill site and a sufficient water source.
The project will consist of the installation of a lake intake screen to develop a landfill water supply system
for wetting of roadways and undercarriage truck washing station. Impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional
area for the project include the excavation of a trench in Belews Lake approximately 3' wide, 2' deep and
30' long for suction piping. The impacts of the excavation have been minimized by the use of concrete
ballasts to hold down piping. Impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas will be limited to 0.002 acres of
open waters.
Duke Energy Carolinas, Inc. believes that this project does not meet any of the nine (9) thresholds
required by Water Quality Certification No. 3890 for written concurrence by DWQ. Therefore, we are
enclosing two (2) copies of the Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) to your office for your files.
Thank you for your assistance with this project. If you have any questions or comments regarding this

FGD Landfill)
WORK LIMITS
a) All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the attached
plans, which are a part of this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved by the
US Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) prior to implementation.
b) Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit, no
excavation, fill or mechanized land - clearing activities shall take place at any time in the
construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not
authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or
wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities
connected with this project.
c) Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land -
clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project,
in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within waters or wetlands or
to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands.
d) Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre -
construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated, as appropriate.
RELATED LAWS
e) All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the
penmittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Quality at (919) 807 -6300 or
(800) 858 -0368 and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances
Control Act will be followed.
PROJECT MAINTENANCE
f) Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, all fill material placed in waters or wetlands shall
be generated from an upland source and will be clean and free of any pollutants except in trace
quantities. Metal products, organic materials (including debris from land clearing activities), or
unsightly debris will not be used.
g) The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall provide
each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or maintenance of this
project with a copy of this permit. A copy of this permit, including all conditions, shall be
available at the project site during construction and maintenance of this project.

Special Conditions, Action ID SAW -2011- 00972; Duke Energy's Belews Creek Steam
Station Craig Road Landfill Expansion (including potential expansion into the adjacent
FGD Landfill)
h) The permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary to
prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the permit
area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or similar
appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of earthen fill,
and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must remain in
full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North
Carolina General Statutes Chapter I I 3 Article 4).
i) The permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this permit or upon its expiration
before completion of the work will, without expense to the United States and in such time and
manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative may direct, restore the
water or wetland to its pre - project condition.
ENFORCEMENT
j) Violations of these conditions or violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section
10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act must be reported in writing to the Wilmington District U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers within 24 hours of the permittee's discovery of the violation.
CULVERTS
k) All authorized culverts will be installed to allow the passage of low stream flows and the
continued movement of fish and other aquatic life as well as to prevent headcutting of the
streambed. For all box culverts and for pipes greater than 48 inches in diameter, the bottom of
the pipe will be buried at least one foot below the bed of the stream unless burial would be
impractical and the Corps of Engineers has waived this requirement. For culverts 48 inches in
diameter or smaller, the bottom of the pipe must be buried below the bed of the stream to a depth
equal to or greater than 20 percent of the diameter of the culvert. Design and placement of
culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be
conducted in a manner that may result in disequilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks,
adjacent to, upstream or downstream of the structures. In order to allow for the continued
movement of bed load and aquatic organisms, existing stream channel widths and depths will be
maintained at the inlet and outlet ends of culverts. Riprap armoring of streams at culvert inlets
and outlets shall be minimized above the ordinary high water elevation in favor of
bioengineering techniques such as bank sloping, erosion control matting and revegetation with
deep - rooted, woody plants.
BORROW AND WASTE
1) To ensure that all borrow and waste activities occur on high ground and do not result in the
degradation of adjacent wetlands and streams, except as authorized by this permit, the permittee
shall require its contractors and/or agents to identify all areas to be used to borrow material, or to
dispose of dredged, fill, or waste material. The permittee shall provide the USACE with
appropriate maps indicating the locations of proposed borrow or waste sites as soon as the
permittee has that information.

Special Conditions, Action ID SAW - 2011 - 00972; Duke Enem's Belews Creek Steam
Station Craie Road Landfill Expansion (includine potential expansion into the adjacent
FGD Landfill)
The permittee will coordinate with the USACE before approving any borrow or waste sites that
are within 400 feet of any streams or wetlands. All jurisdictional wetland lines on borrow and
waste sites shall be verified by the Corps of Engineers and shown on the approved reclamation
plans. The permittee shall ensure that all such areas comply with Special Condition b) of this
permit, and shall require and maintain documentation of the location and characteristics of all
borrow and disposal sites associated with this project. This information will include data
regarding soils, vegetation and hydrology sufficient to clearly demonstrate compliance with the
Special Condition b). All information will be available to the USACE upon request. The
permittee shall require its contractors to complete and execute reclamation plans for each waste
and borrow site and provide written documentation that the reclamation plans have been
implemented and all work is completed. This documentation will be provided to the Corps of
Engineers within 30 days of the completion of the reclamation work.
MITIGATION
m) In order to compensate for impacts to 5,129 linear feet of stream and 0.75 acre of wetland the
permittee shall make payment to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP)
in the amount determined by the NCEEP, sufficient to perform the restoration of 5,129 linear
feet of warm water stream and 0.75 acre of riparian wetlands in the Roanoke River Basin,
Cataloging Unit 03010103.
Construction within jurisdictional areas on the property shall begin only after the permittee has
made payments per the below mitigation table to the NCEEP and provided a written
confirmation to the Corps that it agrees to accept responsibility for the mitigation work required

6. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters. Exceptions to this
condition require application submittal to, and written approval by, the Division of Water Quality. If
placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, then design
and placement of temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may
result in dis- equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream
of the above structures. All sediment and erosion control devices shall be removed and the natural
grade restored within two (2) months of the date that the Division of Land Resources or locally
delegated program has released the specific area within project.

Mr. Tom Leap and Duke Energy

January 24, 2012
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does not come in
contact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the most current version of
the NC Sediment and Erosion Control Manual, or the NC DOT Construction and Maintenance
Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, and other diversion structures shall be
used to minimize excavation in flowing water. Exceptions to this condition require application
submittal to, and written approval by, the Division of Water Quality.
8. Mr. Torn Leap and Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station, shall conduct construction activities in
a manner consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of
State law and federal law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being met
(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law is being
violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, the Division may reevaluate
and modify this Certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such
standards and requirements in accordance with ISA NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before modifying the
Certification, the Division shall notify Mr. Tom Leap and- Duke Energy Belews Creek Steam Station
and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503
and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with I SA NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or
revised conditions shall be provided to W. Tom Leap and Duke Energy $elews Creek Steam Station
in writing, shall be provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any
Permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of
the 404 Pennit for the project;
9. Streams SCI, SCS, SC7, SC8 and SC 10, downstream of impact areas, shall be visually monitored by
Duke Energy for loss of hydrologic function/flow and to determine if the streams continue to provide
aquatic life propagation and biological integrity per required in North Carolina Administrative Code
15A NCAC 2B .0211(1). Visual monitoring for each stream shall begin at the time upstream
impacts/fill occurs and shall continue until hydrologic function and stability is determined by the
Division of Water Quality. Annual reports of visual monitoring and photographic documentation
shall be submitted to the Winston -Salem Regional Office on June 1 of each year.
10. A copy of the surface water monitoring plan, as approved by the Division of Solid Waste, shall be
submitted to the Division for each phase of the Craig Road Landfill Expansion. Any modifications to
approved surface water monitoring plans shall be submitted to the Division for the life of the landfill.
Additional monitoring requirements may be added by the Division upon review of the surface water
monitoring plan approved by the Division of Solid Waste.
11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be inspected and maintained often to
prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other toxic
materials. Concrete is toxic to aquatic life and should not be allowed to come in contact with surface
waters until cured.
12. Sediment and erosion control measures should be installed prior to any land clearing or construction.
These measures should be routinely inspected and properly maintained. Excessive silt and sediment
loads can have numerous detrimental effects on aquatic resources including d"ction of spawning
habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills of aquatic species.
13. This Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other required
Federal, State or Local approvals.
14. Upon completion of all permitted impacts included within the approval and any subsequent
modifications, the applicant shall be required to return the certificate of completion attached to the

DM staff, upon the presentation of proper credentials, to enter the property during normal business
hours.
This Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding 404
Permit. The conditions in effect on the date of issuance of Certification shall remain in effect for the
life of the project, regardless of the expiration date of this Certification
If this Certification is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written
request within sixty (60) days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a
written petition conforming to Chapter I SOB of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the

Dear Mr. Homans:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) received your April 26, 2012
letter in which you inquired about any trout concerns associated with repairs to the ash pond dam at Duke
Energy's Belews Creek Steam Station. Comments from the WRC are offered for your consideration
under provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et
seq.) and the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332 (2)(c).
Trout are not found in this part of Stokes County and the trout moratorium would not be applicable to any
work here that requires a Nationwide Permit. However, there are rare species in the Dan River such as
green floater mussels (Lasmigona subviridis, US — FSC and NC- Endangered) and bigeye jumprock
(Moxostoma ariommum, NC — Threatened) that should be considered during project implementation.
The WRC reviews all Nationwide Permit applications in Stokes County, so please forward the application
for this project to me once it is prepared.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me at (828) 452-
0422 extension 24 if you have any questions about these comments.

De wbemnr Duke Energy I Withdrawal from Belews Lake for Dust Depression at Ash Landfill 11

1. Introduction
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC owns and operates an ash landfill at the Belews Creek Steam Station. New
dust mitigation regulations have prompted Duke to develop a water supply for wetting of roadways and
operation of an undercarriage truck washing station. Duke decided to seek engineering services to assist
in designing a reliable water source. Based on their available options, the construction of an intake screen
with pumps and an onsite storage tank is the most viable option. Duke has contracted with Dewberry for
design and construction phase services related to the installation of a lake intake structure, pump station,
force main, water storage tank, and a truck filling station.
2. Background
Duke is currently performing wetting operations to comply with dust control requirements as mandated
in their ash landfill operational permit. However, the water source for this operation is remote to the
landfill. Earlier attempts were made to drill groundwater wells to meet the needs of this operation.
However, these drilling attempts failed to locate a well(s) with sufficient yield.
Due to the immediate proximity of Belews Lake to the ash landfill, Duke Energy is pursuing withdrawal of
water from the Lake to meet the needs of this project.
During the period between 2008 to 2011 Duke Energy permitted ( USACOE General Permit Verification
SAW 20og -o18o) and installed a permanent raw water pumping station that now withdrawals water
from the Dan River during low lake conditions and transfers this water to Belews Lake to satisfy power
plant water demands during periods of drought. This pump station has a withdrawal capability of up to
80 cfs (52 MGD) and currently utilizes only two pumps to transfer up to 50 cfs (32 MGD) of raw water to
Belews Lake when adequate lake level conditions are not being maintained. The USACOE General Permit
Verification effective April 20,2010 and expiring April 2015 sets forth conditions by which Duke Energy
can withdrawal from the Dan River so that aquatic environments are protected.
During normal years, Belews Lake natural watershed fills the lake in the spring to full pool elevation of
724.5 (MSL). The lowest level down to which to lake level can fall before interrupting operations at the
power plant is 7i5.o feet. The storage in Belews Lake between these two elevations is 34,435 acre -ft. The
maximum withdrawal rate from Belews Lake for operation of the power plant is approximately io cfs (6.5
MGD).
Given the very large storage volume and safe yield of Belews Lake and the current supplemental water
supply offered by the new Dan River intake, it is recognized that the o.15 MGD water supply demand for
the landfill dust suppression system will have a non - measurable effect in the overall water balance in the
Lake. Thus, the use of Belews Lake as source water for this purpose is being pursued by Duke Energy
through this project.

3. Basis of Selection of a Lake Withdrawal
To avoid using surface water for source water supply for the dust suppression system multiple attempts
were initially made by Duke Energy to drill and develop adequate groundwater well(s). None of the test
boring was successful in locating a supply with adequate yield.
Water supply systems for the power plant are remote from this site and were ruled out as a possible
source due to cost of a pumping system and recognizing that the system they would be utilizing also
utilizes the lake as the source supply.
As it was discussed in Section 2 "Background" the Belews Lake is a large water supply with natural and
supplemental water sources being Belews Lake watershed and a new Duke Energy raw water transfer
station located on the Dan River. In lieu of this and the absence of alternative groundwater or potable
supply sources, a new intake on Belews Lake is selected for construction.
Due to near relative location of the existing landfill to a proposed phased landfill expansion, and the
presence of a proposed undercarriage truck washing system that will serve the new landfill, the proposed
intake is proposed to be located in this same area (Ref. Figure 4aand aerial figure 4.1-1.
The proposed fill station location will eliminate excess hauling and also provide water for the truck
undercarriage wash system shown in figure 4.1 -2.

4. General Design Criteria
Major Design Components
• Lake Intake Structure
• Pump Building with pumps, air compressor, electrical controls, pipes, etc.
• Raw Water Supply Force Main
• Ground Storage Tank
• Truck Fill Station
Design Criteria
• Average Estimated Daily Demand: z5o,000 gpd
• Normal Operating Hours: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (io hrs)
• Peak Hourly Demand:16,000 gph
• 200 gpm peak withdrawal lake rate via simplex self- priming pump
• 30,000 gallon effective storage ground tank
• Truck Fill Station with designed for overhead filling
• Minimum Truck fill rate at average effective volume tank level =400 gpm
• Tank and fill station located adjacent to undercarriage wash system
• Intake and pumps located in the vicinity of the storage tank and wash system
• Top of intake screen set at elevation 718.
• Intake Screen slotted opening size = 2mm
• Screen approach velocity= 0.5 fps
4.1 Intake Location and Design Criteria
The topography of the area and proposed grade changes helped to determine the location of the intake
screen. Consideration was given to water depth, amount of estimated submerged disturbance area that
would be impacted, proximity to the proposed fill station, constructability, and accessibility. The selected
location indicated on Figure 4.xmeets the depth requirement and is the most accessible given Duke's plans
for constructing a leachate storage basin in this area. Two other locations also considered for the intake
are slightly closer but require more difficult construction methods and will not be as easily maintained
due steeper slope conditions.
Proposed key design criteria for this project are as follows:
Screen and piping shall be capable of withdrawing water at 200 gpm
Select placement of intake screen to enable operation during lowest water conditions and
minimize potential impacts from sediment. Intake screen and piping must be submerged during
normal operating conditions. The Belews Lake normal full pond elevation is 724.5 feet msl and
the low normal pool water level is 721'. The river pump station begins to fill the lake once the
level drops below 721.5'. Power plant lake withdrawal pumps will not operate below 715.o.
Based on these elevations a top of screen elevation of 718 ft is selected.
Intake screen to be installed at required depth but as close to the lake edge of bank as possible to
reduce the length of bottom disturbance below normal pool elevation.
Intake piping, screen, and ballast to be preassembled to avoid unnecessary excavation (see figure

4.3 for pipe and ballast detail)
To comply with NWP 18 the targeted design goal for fill material associated with the intake
structure and piping is o cubic yards with a maximum allowance of io cubic yards.
4.2 Pump Station & Force Main Design Criteria
In order to transfer water from the lake into a storage tank a pumping facility is needed. The following is
a list of key design components:
• Three sided metal building
• Suction Lift Pump Rated for: Approximately zoo gpm @ ioo' TDH
• Air Compressor
• Air Burst System
• Electrical Controls
• Flow Meter with no-flow pump protection logic
• Force main piping: Approximately iioo'of HDPE
• PLC /RTU that will transfer pump data to an existing radio telemetry system
The pump station location is set as close as possible to the intake screen and at an elevation that makes
the use of a suction lift pump feasible. The use of a suction lift pump eliminates the need for a deep wet
well associated with submersible pumps. Rather than having a wet well, valve vault, and building a sole
building can be used to house all system components.
4.3 Tank and Truck Fill Station Design Criteria
In order to meet the design criteria listed above in this section 30,000 gallons of effective storage volume
is needed. The most cost effective long term solution is a welded and painted steel tank. The design and
construction cost associated with a raised foundation for a 30,000 gallon storage tank is excessive. Over
sizing a ground storage tank to have partial dead storage and partial effective storage is the most cost
effective option.
The discharge height of the truck fill station will be 15'. The piping will be 6" in diameter and in order to
achieve a 400 gpm fill rate, 2' of head is needed above the discharge height. Therefore, the lower i7' of
storage in the tank will be unusable. In order to have 30,000 gallons of effective storage the tank volume
above 17' needs to be at least 30,000 gallons.
A 32' tall 20' diameter tank is a common tank size that meets the design criteria. The overall tank volume
is approximately 75,00o gallons and the effective usable volume is 35,000 gallons.
The truck fill piping will consist of rigid overhead piping that allows drivers to park beneath and begin
filling. The design is based on the trucks having an open hatch that water dumps into. An electric
actuated valve will be opened and closed by the driver during fill operations via remote control.
There will also be some small diameter piping connected to the tank discharge line. A small i th" HDPE
waterline will be routed from the tank to the undercarriage truck wash. This line will be run within 5' of
Dewberry' Duke Energy I Withdrawal from 9elews Lake for Dust Depression at Ash Landfill 15

the truck wash and plugged for future connection by the truck wash installing contractor. Another i"
HDPE line will connect to the discharge piping for installation of a yard hydrant at the base of the tank.
The tank location will be adjacent to the truck washing area at a site that agrees with the geotechnical
results proved by S&ME. The truck fill design will allow trucks to be filled without obstructing vehicles
utilizing the undercarriage wash system. The pipe orientation will allow the trucks to drive through and
fill without having to back up.
4.4 Construction
4.4.1 Avoidance and Mitigation Measures
• Proper erosion and sediment (E&S) control measures must be maintained at all tunes.
• Excavation, final grading and site restoration will all be addressed in a detailed sediment control
plan. This plan will be submitted for approval through NCDENR Winston Salem office.
• The intake will be positioned as close to the bank as possible to reduce land disturbance.
• The pipe installed for the intake will be fused HDPE and anchored with concrete ballasts to allow
the contractor to set the entire pipe and intake in place without the need for trenched excavations.
This method minimizes disturbance to the lake.
• No wetlands are present above the normal pool of the lake within the project area. Table 4.4
shows the online data search for threatened and endangered species in the area. Based on this
data there seems to be no immediate threats or concerns.

Intake Screen will be placed at a depth where
typical spawning does not take place.
The intake screen openings are 2mm to reduce the
possibility of fish entrainment. The suction rate and
velocity are also relatively low which reduces the
1 chance of drawing fish' into the'screen.
Pre- Assembling the piping, screen, and ballasts for
the intake reduces the need for trenching and
sediment deposition into the lake. A silt curtain will
also be installed as a secondary precaution to
prevent sediment disturbed in the lake from leaving
the construction area.
The lake embankment disturbed during installation of the intake piping will be re- vegetated with
approved indigenous plants and rip rap for stabilization. Areas surrounding the pump station will be
cleared of debris and vegetated with grass mixtures. The entire area around the tank and truck fill will be
a concrete pad.

4.4.3 Sequence of Construction
The construction sequence is designed to minimize environmental disturbance. The contractor must
install all erosion and sediment control measures prior to beginning construction. Once E&3 measures
are installed work may begin. As construction is completed the contractor will restore disturbed areas to
prevent unnecessary erosion.

5. Permits
5.1 General
Duke Energy's preliminary discussions with John Thomas of the USACOE determined that this project
may fall under Nationwide Permit 18 (NWP 18). One of the requirements of the NWP 18 is that fill
material placed in the lake below normal pool be less than io cubic yards.

5.2 Summary of Nationwide Permit 18 Environmental Considerations
Nationwide Permit 18 requires a general online review for the following items that can disqualifies the
project:
• Navigation
• Aquatic life movements
• Spawning areas
• Migratory bird breeding areas
• Shellfish beds
• Suitable material
• Water supply intakes
• Adverse effects from impoundments
• Management of water flows
• Fills within loo -year floodplain
• Equipment
• Soil erosion and sediment controls
• Removal of temporary fills
• Proper maintenance
• Single and Complete Project
• Wild and Scenic Rivers
• Tribal Rights
• Endangered Species
• Migratory Birds and Bald and Golden
Eagles
• Historic Properties
• Discovery of Previously Unknown
Remains and Artifacts
• Designated Critical Resource Waters
• Mitigation
• Safety of Impoundment Structures
• Water Quality
The above items have been reviewed and Table 5.2 gives a summary of findings. Given the nature of the
project there are no immediate threats or concerns. Two environmental considerations requiring
avoidance are as follows:
Erosion and Sediment Control - Formal detailed design will be required before an approvable Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan can be developed. Goals of this plan will be to minimize disturbance, avoid where
possible further concentration of storm flows, strategically place adequate silt fencing, install check dams,
and diversion ditching. Erosion and Sediment control design features will be subject to approval by
NCDENR Division of Land Quality and USACOE.
Dewberry' Duke Energy I Withdrawal from Belews Lake for Dust Depression at Ash Landfill 19

Flood Zone - A no net fill increase strategy will be implemented in the final design and grading scheme.
This will be accomplished by removing soil from the lake embanlanent and replacing it with rip rap stone
of equal or less volume. This will require submittal and approval of design plans by the USACOE and
Rockingham County.
