Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SynTerra prepared this Seep Management Plan Amendment to the Closure Plan (Wood, 2019) pertaining to the Active Ash Basin (AAB), the Inactive Ash Basins (IAB), and the Lay of the Land Area (LOLA) at the H.F. Lee Energy Complex(H.F. Lee or Site)to describe plans for the management of identified seeps in a manner that protects public health, safety and welfare, the environment, and natural resources.This amendment to the closure plan was prepared on behalf of Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy). Corrective action beyond the planned closure of the ash basins and LOLA may not be necessary for seeps at H.F. Lee. Special Order by Consent (SOC) WQ S18-006, approved on January 11, 2019, addresses the management of seeps during the process of basin closure under the Coal Ash Management Act of 2014, North Carolina General Statutes 130A-309.200 through 130A-309.231, and the federal Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule, 40 CFR Parts 257 and 261. Section 2.b.7 of the SOC 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... The Seep Characterization Report (SynTerra, 2021) identified nine non-dispositioned seeps associated with the AAB, IABs, and LOLA (presented below by associated source area) that require a management plan: g Active Ash Basin • S-08, located on the east side of the AAB, is a low flow seep that flows into the perimeter ditch. S-08 was not sampled during the seep characterization sampling event because of insufficient flow. • S-23 and S-24 are located south of the AAB and flow to the Neuse River. Seep characterization analytical results indicate that total arsenic, hardness, and total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations are greater than North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 02B, Surface Water and Wetland Standards (02B) standards. However, the quarterly SOC monitoring data collected at instream monitoring locations Downstream Neuse River and Downstream 2 Neuse River (located downstream of those seep discharges) indicate that all Attachment B constituents are less than their respective 02B standards. February 2022 Page ES-1 t a Seep Management Plan Amendment to the Closure Plan H.F. Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina • S-22, S-25, and S-26 are low flow seeps located on the south side of the AAB between the ash basin and the Neuse River. These seeps were not sampled during the seep characterization sampling event because of insufficient flow. Inactive Ash Basin • Ponded water at S-18 on the east side of the IABs has been observed to be flowing to the Neuse River in past events. S-18 was not sampled during the seep characterization sampling event because of insufficient flow. Lay of Land Area • LOLA S-01A and LOLA S-01B, located north of the LOLA, are low flow seeps that flow toward the Neuse River. Flow at these locations was insufficient to collect a sample during the seep characterization sampling event. Duke Energy continues to implement ash basin closure and corrective action activities that affect groundwater seepage in a manner that is protective of public health, safety and welfare, the environment, and natural resources. Completed, ongoing, and planned corrective action and closure activities include: Year Closure or Corrective Action Activity 2016-2018 Active Ash Basin decanting 2019-2020 Active Ash Basin dewatering 2022 Submit Groundwater Corrective Action Plan Update Dewatering,excavation,and closure of the AAB 2020—2035 Excavation of the IABs and LOLA Evaluation of constituent concentrations at seep locations using the Mann-Kendall trend test demonstrates predominantly stable and decreasing trends. This evaluation indicates that the system has been geochemically stable prior to, and since, implementation of ash basin closure activities. Based on findings from seep characterization (SynTerra, 2021), the following corrective action strategies are planned to manage the remaining non-dispositioned seeps. Seep Corrective Action Strategy Active Ash Basin S-08,S-22,S- AAB dewatering and excavation is anticipated to reduce or eliminate flow from these seeps. 23, S-24,S-25, Furthermore,basin closure will remove the source of potential CCR constituents in these seeps. and S-26 Additional corrective action for these locations is not anticipated.

Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina Seep Corrective Action Strategy Inactive Ash Basin IAB excavation might reduce flow at this location.Closure of the IAB will remove the source of S-18 potential CCR constituents in the seep.Additional corrective action for this location is not anticipated. Lay of Land Area LOLA S-01A and LOLA S LOLA excavation will remove the source of potential CCR constituents at these locations. and Additional corrective action for these locations is not anticipated. Non-dispositioned seeps are scheduled to be monitored as required by the SOC until termination of the SOC by the Division of Water Resources (DWR), or no later than February 28, 2023. Upon termination of the SOC, continued (effectiveness) monitoring of remaining non- dispositioned seeplocations is recommended until closure of the ash basins is complete, or until a seep is dry for two consecutive sampling events, or data indicate a seep does not contain constituents associated with the ash basins at concentrations greater than 02B standards from two consecutive sampling events. Seeps would be monitored on a semiannual basis consistent with the nearby groundwater monitoring network to correlate changing water quality and geochemical conditions. It is anticipated that seep monitoring would be discussed and new data would be evaluated in Annual Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring Reports.

Lee Energy Complex(H.F. Lee or Site) to describe plans to manage identified seeps in a manner that protects public health, safety and welfare, the environment, and natural resources. This amendment to the Closure Plan was prepared on behalf of Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy). Corrective action beyond the planned closure of the ash basins and LOLA may not be necessary for seeps at H.F. Lee. 1.1 Background Special Order by Consent (SOC) WQ S18-006, approved on January 11, 2019, addresses management of seeps at the Site during the process of basin closure under the Coal Ash Management Act of 2014, North Carolina General Statutes 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. Ash was sluiced to the AAB from approximately 1982 until 2012, when the coal-fired plant was decommissioned. Despite the name, the AAB no longer receives coal ash, and the Site no longer generates coal ash. In preparation for ash basin closure, wastewater inflows ceased in 2012 and decanting of free water from the AAB began in April 2016 and was completed in November 2018. Dewatering of ash pore water began in July 2019 and is ongoing. Excavation of the AAB began in September 2020. The Inactive Ash Basins (IAB) consist of IAB 1, IAB 2, and IAB 3 and are located across the Neuse River, west of Plant operations. Sluicing to IABs 1 and 2 began in the early 1950s and ended in 1969. IAB 3 was used from approximately 1962 until 1982.The three IABs are covered with mature forest. Precipitation collects on the interior portion of the basins.There are currently no outfall structures, although two are permitted by the modified National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit dated February 28, 2020. No decanting is required for the IABs, and construction activities to prepare for excavation are underway. The LOLA is an area of approximately 7 acres located adjacent to the cooling pond and east of the former coal-fired operations area and coal pile. The LOLA received coal ash during the early years of Plant operation prior to the use of the IABs. The LOLA is separated from the AAB by the Neuse River. No decanting is required in the LOLA. A site location map is provided on Figure 1-1. 1.2 Purpose and Scope As required in Section 2.b.7 of the SOC, SynTerra is providing this Seep Management Plan Amendment to the Closure Plan to describe plans to manage seeps identified in the Seep Characterization Report(SynTerra, 2021) in a manner that will protect public health, safety, and February 2022 Page 1-1 Project:00.0067..20 Seep Management Plan Amendment to the Closure Plan H.F. Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina 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 for corrective action in this Seep Management Plan, 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 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: • 2019 Annual Seep Report, H.F.

Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina 2.0 OVERVIEW OF SEEPS PROPOSED FOR MANAGEMENT According to the SOC, there are 22 identified non-constructed seeps associated with the AAB, the IABs, and the LOLA. Of those 22 non-constructed seeps, four seeps (5-05, 5-19, 5-20, and S- 21) were dispositioned at the issuance of the SOC. Nine seeps (S-01, S-02, 5-04, 5-06, 5-27, 5-28, and 5-29) were proposed to be dispositioned in the Seep Characterization Report(SynTerra, 2021). Nine non-constructed seeps remain non-dispositioned. Seep descriptions and statuses are provided in Table 2-1. The remaining non-dispositioned seeps identified in the SOC are described below. 2.1 Seeps Associated with the Active Ash Basin The following seeps are associated with the AAB and are depicted on Figure 2-1: • 5-23 and S-24 are low flow seeps located on the south side of the AAB between the ash basin and the Neuse River. Flow at those seeps has decreased because of ash basin decanting and dewatering based on inspection observations. Seep characterization analytical results indicate that total arsenic, hardness, and total dissolved solids concentrations are greater than 02B standards. However, the quarterly SOC monitoring data collected at instream monitoring locations Downstream Neuse River and Downstream 2 Neuse River located downstream of those seep discharges indicate that all Attachment B constituents are less than their respective 02B standards. Seep flow at S-23 during the seep characterization sampling event was estimated to be 4 gallons per minute. Seep flow at S-24 during the seep characterization sampling event was estimated to be 2.1 gallons per minute. • S-08, located on the east side of the AAB, is a low flow seep that flows into the perimeter ditch. Flow at 5-08 has decreased because of ash basin decanting and dewatering based on inspection observations. S-08 was not sampled during the seep characterization sampling event because of insufficient flow. • S-22, S-25, and S-26 are low flow seeps located on the south side of the AAB, between the ash basin and the Neuse River. Flow at those seeps has decreased because of ash basin decanting and dewatering based on inspection observations. 5-22, S-25, and S-26 were not sampled during the seep characterization sampling event because of insufficient flow.

Ponded water at S-18 on the east side of IAB 2 has been observed to be flowing to the Neuse River in past events. Flow at 5-18 was insufficient to collect a sample during the seep characterization sampling event. 2.3 Seeps Associated with the Lay of Land Area Non-dispositioned seeps associated with the LOLA are depicted on Figure 2-1. LOLA S-01A is located to the east of the LOLA, and LOLA S-01B is located to the north of the LOLA. Both are low flow seeps that flow toward the Neuse River. Flow at these locations was insufficient to collect a sample during the seep characterization sampling event.

Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress,LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina 3.0 PROPOSED SEEP MONITORING PLAN 3.1 Seeps Associated with the Ash Basins With concurrence from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality(NCDEQ) DWR on seep jurisdictional and dispositional status and upon termination of the SOC, effectiveness monitoring of the nine non-dispositioned seeps (5-08, S-18, 5-22, 5-23, S-24, S-25, 5-26, LOLA S- 01A, and LOLA S-01B) is recommended until closure of the associated ash basin/LOLA is complete, or until a seep is dry for two consecutive sample events, or sample data from two consecutive sampling events indicate seep discharges do not contain constituents associated with ash basins and concentrations are less than 02B standards. Seeps proposed for disposition within the Seep Characterization Report and non-dispositioned seeps are depicted on Figure 3-1. Duke Energy continues to implement ash basin closure activities to reduce groundwater seepage. Source control is the primary remedy for managing seeps associated with the ash basins and LOLA. Source control is conducted in a manner that is protective of public health, safety, and welfare; the environment; and natural resources. Completed and ongoing ash basin closure activities, implemented by Duke Energy, are detailed in Section 3.3. The nature and extent of identified seeps, effects of ash basin closure, and details about proposed monitoring are discussed in the following subsections. 3.2 Nature and Extent of Source Related Constituents and Seeps Based on groundwater data collected through May 2020, constituents of interest (COls) associated with the ash basins and the LOLA include (SynTerra, 2020): • Arsenic • Iron • Strontium • Barium • Lithium • Total dissolved solids (TDS) • Boron • Manganese • Vanadium • Cadmium • Molybdenum • Cobalt • pH Of those COIs, arsenic (total), barium, boron, pH, and total dissolved solids (TDS) are SOC Attachment B surface water constituents with 02B standards or in-stream target values. February Page Pa a 3-1 Project 00.0061,20 Seep Management Plan Amendment to the Closure Plan H.F. Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina Boron analytical results greater than groundwater background concentrations represent the extent of affected groundwater (Figure 3-2). Because boron is non-reactive and mobile in groundwater, it has been identified as a leading-edge indicator and is 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]. Boron concentrations found in groundwater at the AAB, the IABs, and the LOLA are discussed below. Active Ash Basin The extent of affected groundwater associated with the AAB is limited to downgradient areas south of the AAB, between the waste boundary and the Neuse River, and east of the AAB (Figure 3-2). Groundwater in the AAB area generally flows south toward the Neuse River. Inactive Ash Basins The extent of affected groundwater associated with the IABs is limited to an area beneath IABs 1 and 2 and east toward the Neuse River and an area beneath IAB 3 (Figure 3-2). Groundwater in the area of the IABs generally flows east toward the Neuse River, with localized areas of groundwater flow toward Halfmile Branch. Lay of Land Area Boron concentrations in groundwater greater than background values do not form a discernable plume around the LOLA. Groundwater around the LOLA generally flows north toward the Neuse River. The most recent seep sampling event (October 2021) was evaluated in the Seep Characterization Report(SynTerra, 2021) and results are presented in Table 3-1. LOLA S-01A, LOLA 5-01B, 5-08, S-18, S-22, 5-25, and S-26 exhibited insufficient flow to collect a sample. A summary of non-dispositioned seep analytical results pertaining to seeps with SOC Attachment B constituent concentrations greater than 02B standards during the October 2021 sampling event is provided in the following table: February 2022 Page 3-2 • Seep Management Plan Amendment to the Closure Plan H.F.

Notes: ug/L—micrograms per liter mg/I.—milligrams per liter TDS—total dissolved solids 3.3 Ash Basin Closure and Corrective Action Duke Energy continues to implement ash basin closure and corrective action activities that provide adequate seep management and surface water protection at the Site. Completed, ongoing, and planned corrective action and closure activities include: Year Closure or Corrective Action Activity 2016-2018 Active Ash Basin decanting 2019-2020 Active Ash Basin dewatering 2022 Submit Groundwater Corrective Action Plan Update Dewatering, excavation,and closure of the AAB 2020—2035 Excavation of the IABs and LOLA February 2022 Page 3-3 1 � Seep Management Plan Amendment to the Closure Plan H.F. Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina 3.4 Mann-Kendall Trend Test Analysis The Mann-Kendall trend 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 to develop a statistical conclusion that pertains to trends — increasing, decreasing, or stable — of a constituent concentration. Mann-Kendall trend test results for AAB, IAB, and the LOLA were evaluated together to account for insufficient data sets for seeps associated with the IABs and LOLA. Results of the Mann- Kendall trend test indicate the following: • A statistical conclusion was reached for 127 constituent-location pairs. • 33 statistical conclusions are associated with field parameters. • Of the 94 statistical conclusions pertaining to chemical constituents, 49 percent of constituent concentrations are stable or have statistically significant decreasing trends. • Of the 94 statistical conclusions pertaining to chemical constituents, 51 percent of trends could not be analyzed due to greater than 50 percent non-detects. • Out of 94 statistical conclusions pertaining to chemical constituents, no statistically significant increasing trends were identified. Overall, the results of the Mann-Kendall trend test indicate that the system has been geochemically stable since the implementation of ash basin closure with constituent concentrations remaining stable or decreasing over time. The Mann-Kendall Trend Test Analysis report is provided in Appendix B. 3.5 Seep Corrective Action Strategy To be considered for corrective action, a seep must: 1) Be non-dispositioned 2) Constitute, or flow to WOS or WOTUS 3) Exhibit constituent concentrations that are greater than applicable 02B surface water standards Nine non-constructed seeps have been identified based on the criteria above. Based on findings from Seep Characterization Report(SynTerra, 2021), the following corrective action strategies are planned to manage the remaining non-dispositioned seeps. February 2022 Page 3-4 • Seep Management Plan Amendment to the Closure Plan H.F. Lee Energy Complex—Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina Seep Corrective Action Strategy Active Ash Basin S-08,5-22,5- AAB dewatering and excavation is anticipated to reduce or eliminate flow from these seeps. 23,5-24,S-25, Furthermore, basin closure will remove the source of potential CCR constituents in these seeps. and 5-26 Additional corrective action for these locations is not anticipated. Inactive Ash Basin IAB excavation might reduce flow at this location. Closure of the IAB will remove the source of S-18 potential CCR constituents in the seep.Additional corrective action for this location is not anticipated. Lay of Land Area LOLA 5 01A LOLA excavation will remove the source of potential CCR constituents at these locations. and LOLA S Additional corrective action for these locations is not anticipated. 01B As described in Section 3.3, ash basin closure and corrective action activities are underway or planned. Based on those activities and the findings presented in the Seep Characterization Report(SynTerra, 2021) and in this Seep Management Plan, with DWR concurrence on seep dispositional status, corrective action beyond the planned closure activities may not be necessary. Upon termination of the SOC and discontinuation of the interim action levels established therein, some constituent concentrations in the AAB perimeter ditch may remain greater than 02B standards. It is recommended that the influence of affected groundwater from the AAB on the perimeter ditch be evaluated in the forthcoming Groundwater Corrective Action Plan Update. 3.6 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 February 28, 2023. Upon termination of the SOC, continued (effectiveness) monitoring of remaining, non-dispositioned seep locations is recommended until closure of the ash basin is complete, or until a seep is dry for two consecutive sampling events, or data indicate a seep does not contain constituents associated with the ash basin at concentrations greater than 02B standards from two consecutive sampling events. Seeps would be monitored on a semiannual basis consistent with the nearby groundwater monitoring network to correlate changing water quality and geochemical conditions. It is anticipated that seep monitoring would be discussed, and new data would be evaluated in Annual Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring Reports.

Duke Energy and the Commission are referred to hereafter collectively as the"Parties." 1. 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 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 Dept talent 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 18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC p. 2 Both decanting and dewatering of the H. F. Lee Facility's coal ash basins will be required before the ash basins can be closed. Decanting(i.e.,removal of the free water on the surface of the coal ash basin), has already been observed to affect existing seeps at Duke Energy's H. F. Lee Facility. Removal of remaining coal ash wastewater through continued decanting and dewatering(i.e. removal of sufficient interstitial water) 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 subparagraph g below),while Duke Energy completes activities associated with closure of the ash basins at the H. F. Lee Facility. After completion of those activities, for any remaining seeps,Duke Energy must take appropriate corrective action as specified more fully below. b. Duke Energy has been issued a North Carolina NPDES permit for operation of an existing wastewater treatment works at the following electric generation facility (the "H. F. Lee Facility"): Permit Issuance Receiving Water Facility Number County . Date for Primary Outfall H. F. Lee NC0003417 Wayne i 07/23/2010 Neuse River c. The H. F. Lee Facility listed above has ceased coal fired generation and now consists of a 3 x 1 combined cycle unit capable of being fired on natural gas or oil, and five simple cycle combustion turbines. The facility's coal ash basins still exist, and are subject to the provisions of this Special Order. d. The H.F. Lee Facility also has a permitted wastewater cooling pond that was used during coal-fired operations,and continues to be used for the combined cycle plant. Several areas of minor seep flow from the cooling pond to the Neuse River have been observed. Chemical testing of the cooling pond seeps has revealed some contain minor concentrations of coal combustion residuals (CCR). The cooling pond seeps listed in Attachment A are also addressed by this Special Order. e. 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 S 18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC p. 3 f. The coal ash basins and the cooling pond at the H. F. Lee Facility 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. The H. F. Lee Facility exhibits locations adjacent to,but beyond the confines of,the coal ash basins and the cooling pond where seepage of wastewater from those 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 H. F. Lee Facility 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. g. 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." Non-constructed seeps at the H. F. Lee Facility 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 H. F.Lee Facility 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. h. 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. Collectively,the volume of non-constructed seeps is generally low compared to the volume of permitted wastewater discharges at the Duke Energy Facilities. EMC SOC WQ S18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC p. 4 j. 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. k. 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. Non-constructed seeps create conditions such that certain surface water quality standards may not consistently be met at all Duke Energy monitoring sites. m. 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. n. A list of seeps identified in the vicinities of the coal ash surface impoundments at the fl.F. Lee Facility, 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. o. 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. p. 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. q. 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. EMC SOC WQ S18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC P. 5 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$72,000, calculated based upon$6,000 each for twelve non- constructed seeps identified prior to January 1,2015. A certified check in the amount of$72,000.00 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. 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. See especially paragraph 2(a)(2) excepting newly identified seeps from future penalties under certain conditions. EMC SOC WQ S 18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC p. 6 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 and c), or for failure to comply with interim action levels listed in Attachment A. Failure to meet a deadline in the Compliance I $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,by the deadline set forth herein,adequate amendments to groundwater Corrective Action Plans or Closure Plans to 5 000.00per da to a maxim um mum of Y� address all remaining seeps, through $1,000,000.00. corrective action as applicable under paragraph 2(b)(7 i of this Special Order.2 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. 2 Failure to adequately implement any amended Corrective Action Plan or Closure Plan will be handled in the normal course. EMC SOC WQ S 18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC P- 7 Duke Energy is required to comply with the requirements of G.S. § 130A- 309.216. Duke Energy has announced plans to construct an ash beneficiation plant at the H. F. Lee Facility capable of processing 300,000 tons of CCR material per year. 1) The Coal Ash Management Act(G.S. § 130A-309.210)required the cessation of CCR wastewater placement into the basins at the H. F.Lee Facility by October 1,2014. Duke Energy commenced decanting in April 2016. Decanting will be completed by March 31,2019. 2) Dewatering will be required in order to excavate the ash for the purpose of beneficiation. Duke Energy will begin the process of removal of interstitial water from the H.F. Lee Facility no later than July 31, 2019 and will continue as needed to support the beneficiation plant described above. 3) Once the dewatering process is initiated,within(30) days after the end of each quarter,Duke Energy shall provide reports on the status of dewatering work and other activities undertaken with respect to excavation of each coal ash surface impoundment to DWR. The quarterly reports are due by April 30, July 30,October 30, and January 30. The reports are to be submitted as follows: one copy must be mailed to DWR's Washington Regional Office Supervisor,943 Washington Square Mall, Washington,NC 27889, and one copy must be mailed to the Water Quality Permitting Program, Division of Water Resources, 1617 Mail Service Center,Raleigh NC 27699-1617. The quarterly reporting requirement shall remain in force until completion of two years of beneficiation operations. EMC SOC WQ S 18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC p. 8 4) Duke Energy shall conduct annual comprehensive surveys of areas down gradient of the ash basins,the Lay of Land Area(LOLA) and the cooling pond, 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(b)(3) 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. 5) No later than October 31, 2021 Duke Energy shall conduct a comprehensive survey of areas down gradient of ash basins at the 1-l. F. Lee Facility, 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(4)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 Si8-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC P. 9 6) If any seeps have not been certified by the Director of DWR as dispositioned(as described in subparagraph 4) 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 no later than December 31,2021 (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 H. F. Lee Facility. The determination regarding whether a surface water feature is a classified water of the State rests with DWR. 7) 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.0 1 06(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). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, any cooling pond seeps contained in the Seep Characterization Report shall be addressed in a separate report(rather than a proposed amendment to the groundwater Corrective Action Plan and/or Closure Plan),specific to the matters of those seeps, and describe how remaining cooling pond seeps will be managed in a manner that will be sufficient to protect public health, safety, and welfare,the environment, and natural resources. The report shall be submitted to DWR's Complex 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(b)(7)may such a seep, certified as dispositioned,be omitted from the proposed amendment. EMC SOC WQ S18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC p. 10 Permitting Unit within 60 days of the submittal of the Seep Characterization Report("Cooling Pond Seep Report"). For clarity,listed below is a summary of the timetable for the documents due after completion of steps above: Document Due Date Final Seep Report October 31, 2021 Seep Characterization Report December 31,2021 Proposed amendment to groundwater Corrective Action Plan and/or Closure February 28, 2022 Plan, and/or Cooling Pond Seep Rport 8) Termination of Special Order This Special Order shall terminate on the later of the following dates: • January 31, 2022; 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 2(b)(7) above). c. interim Action Levels. 1) 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)(8)is reached. 2) 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)(3)below EMC SOC WQ S 18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC p. II 3) 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. 4) 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 wcbsite to provide the public with the opportunity for viewing. 3. Duke Energy will continue to operate the H. F. Lee Facility's 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. 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 the H. F. Lee Facility no later than thirty(30)days following their effective or submittal dates. EMC SOC WQ S 18-006 Duke Energy Progress,LLC p. 12 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 and the cooling pond at Duke Energy's H. F. Lee Facility, and listed in Attachment A to this Special Order,are hereby deemed covered by this Special Order. Any newly-identified non-constructed seeps discovered 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. 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.

Lee Energy Complex, Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina THE MANN-KENDALL TREND TEST Mann-Kendall trend tests were performed on available seep data associated with the ash basins and lay of the land area at the H.F. Lee Energy Complex. The Mann-Kendall trend test evaluates data over time for monotonic trends, where monotonic indicates a trend that is solely increasing or decreasing. 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, data were processed as follows: • Non-detects greater than regulatory values were removed. If a constituent does not have a regulatory limit and there are multiple reporting limits, only the lowest reporting limit was retained. • Detects that were less than the reporting limit were treated at non-detects. • Samples with pH greater than 10 standard units were removed. 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 simply 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. February 2022 Page 1-1 Appendix B-Mann-Kendall Trend Test Analysis H.F. Lee Energy Complex, Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina 2.0 TIME VERSUS CONCENTRATION PLOTS Plots of concentration over time provide a visual representation of possible trends in the data. Time versus concentration plots are presented as Figures 1 through 25. 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. Locations and constituents included in these plots are presented 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, and non-detect measurements are shown as an open circle. February 2022 Page 2-1 Appendix B-Mann-Kendall Trend Test Analysis H.F.

Lee Energy Complex, Duke Energy Progress, LLC Goldsboro, North Carolina 3.0 MANN-KENDALL TREND TEST RESULTS Results of the Mann-Kendall trend tests are presented in Table 2. Mann-Kendall trend tests were conducted for data pertaining to the 9 non-dispositioned seeps associated with the ash basins and lay of the land area. Out of the 9 seeps evaluated, six had four or more samples and thus were evaluated for trends.Trend analyses were completed for 127 location-constituent pairs using available seep data that was collected between 2015 and 2021. For the other occurrences where trend analysis could not be performed, 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 33 percent. Locations not displayed in Table 2 are excluded due to having less than the minimum number of samples required to run the "Kendall" package in RStudio. Location-constituent pairs with less than four detects are included in Table 2 but cannot be analyzed for trends based on the criteria in Section 1.0. Out of the 127 constituent-location pairs that have trend conclusions, 33 are associated with the following field parameters: flow rate, pH, specific conductance, temperature, total dissolved solids, and total suspended solids. Trends for these field parameters were evaluated for information but are not included in percentages below. Of the 94 chemical constituent- location pairs that have trend conclusions, 49 percent of constituent concentrations are stable or have statistically significant decreasing trends (46 out of 94 constituent location pairs), 51 percent (48 out of 94) of trends could not be analyzed due to greater than 50 percent non detects. Of the 94 chemical constituent-location pairs, no increasing trends were identified. Overall, the results of the Mann-Kendall trend tests indicate a system that is geochemically stable, with the majority of constituent concentrations remaining stable over time.
