Duke Energy announces plans to begin removing coal ash from four
North Carolina sites
Coal ash excavation plans for Asheville, Dan River, Riverbend and Sutton
facilities submitted to state regulators for approval
Most of the 5.1 million tons of ash moved during Phase 1 will go to
beneficial reuse opportunities; remainder to be stored in lined landfills
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Duke Energy today announced another major milestone in its plan
to permanently close coal ash basins and safely store coal ash generated from its North
Carolina power plants.
The company submitted detailed coal ash excavation plans to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR) for ash stored at the
high-priority Asheville Steam Electric Plant, Dan River Steam Station (Eden), Riverbend
Steam Station (Mount Holly) and L.V. Sutton Steam Electric Plant (Wilmington) facilities.
These plans and all associated permits must be approved by NC DENR before any
basins at those sites must be closed by Aug. 1, 2019.
ward as quickly as
practicable in a safe and environmentally sound way to address the enormous task of
long-
ors to the
The excavation plans announced today describe a phased approach that enables the
company to begin moving ash from the sites even as additional long-term solutions are
developed.
The plans detail the proposed amount of ash being moved in the first phase, its
destination, how it will be transported, safety and environmental protection measures
and permits required.
The plans also outline work to identify solutions for the remaining ash at each location
and will be updated and submitted to NC DENR annually or earlier as required by
subsequent phases.

state, demonstrating our commitment to closing ash basins in a way that continues to
protect the environment, minimizes the impact to neighboring communities and
senior vice president of ash basin s
Excavation plans for ash at each of the four high-priority facilities are site-specific.
During the initial phase of work, the company plans to move approximately 5.1 million
tons of ash from the four sites, representing approximately 30 percent of the total ash
stored there, within 12 to 18 months following approvals and permits from NC DENR.
from three of the four sites in Phase 1 will be beneficially reused in engineered
structural fill projects. These include the ongoing structural fill project at the Asheville
Regional Airport and two new projects to be developed at open-pit clay mines in
Chatham and Lee counties.
In such fill projects, the ash is contained using specially engineered synthetic liners, and
sites are subject to strict groundwater monitoring standards set by state regulators.
Using these open-pit clay mines from the brick industry as the location for the
engineered fills has several advantages, including the reclamation of previously
unusable land and faster development timelines than siting a new off-site landfill. They
also provide deep layers of impervious clay that add environmental protections and
existing access to railroads.
Where possible, trains will be used to transport ash to limit the number of trucks on
state roadways.
In addition, these projects are expected to create approximately 100 jobs in Chatham
and Lee counties as well as increase the tax base.
These mine reclamation projects will comply with the requirements set forth in the Coal
Ash Management Act.
Phase 1 also includes a plan for the Roanoke Cement Company to use thousands of
tons of ash in the creation of concrete. Additional ash excavated during Phase 1 will be
permanently stored in an existing Jetersville, Va., lined landfill.

Phase 1 includes moving ash from multiple locations at the sites. While much of the
public focus has been on closing ash basins,
comprehensive and will ensure all ash at the sites is properly addressed for long-term
storage.
For clarity, the company has updated its official statistics to reflect ash currently stored
inside and out of basins at our facilities in North Carolina. In addition to the 108 million
tons of ash in basins across the state, approximately 30 million tons is in landfills and 14
million tons is in other locations on plant property, such as structural fills or dry ash
stacks.
In addition to filing excavation plans for the first four sites, the company has met
aggressive state deadlines to file groundwater assessment plans, well water receptor
surveys and updated permit applications for all 14 of its North Carolina facilities in order
to begin the review and approval process.
Duke Energy News Release 4
As previously announced, Duke has established a national advisory panel of
independent experts in partnership with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte
that will provide counsel on permanent coal ash storage solutions for all of its facilities.
The company also has created a dedicated, in-house organization to rigorously manage
all of its coal ash operations.
