I encourage the Department of Environmental Quality to keep the "intermediate" classification
for the Lee Energy Complex or to go one step higher, to high risk, in order to ensure that coal
ash is more quickly moved to dry lined storage and away from our waterways. Arsenic,
chromium, and other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near the leaking, unlined
coal ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. For example, arsenic has been detected at levels
6,550% above the state standard and chromium at levels 403% above the state standard in
nearby groundwater.

About 128,000 people rely on drinking water intakes downstream from leaking, unlined coal
ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. It's past time for Duke Energy to remove its coal ash to
safer dry, lined storage here and at all of the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities
and families across North Carolina.
Duke Energy's Lee Plant includes a 143-acre wet coal ash pond and at least three other large
areas of buried coal ash. Families living near the unlined, leaking coal ash pits have been
informed by DEQ that it is unsafe to drink or cook with their water due to the presence of
elevated levels of the carcinogen hexavalent chromium, cobalt, and other pollutants.

About 128,000 people rely on drinking water intakes downstream from leaking, unlined coal
ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. It's past time for Duke Energy to remove its coal ash to
safer dry, lined storage here and at all of the polluting, unlined coal ash pits near communities
and families across North Carolina.
Duke Energy's Lee Plant includes a 143-acre wet coal ash pond and at least three other large
areas of buried coal ash. Families living near the unlined, leaking coal ash pits have been
informed by DEQ that it is unsafe to drink or cook with their water due to the presence of
elevated levels of the carcinogen hexavalent chromium, cobalt, and other pollutants.

coal ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. For example, arsenic has been detected at levels
6,550% above the state standard and chromium at levels 403% above the state standard in
nearby groundwater. I'm writing to urge the state to uphold the intermediate rating that Duke
Energy's Lee power station received. I was appalled to learn that arsenic, chromium, and
other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near these toxic pits at the Lee site. Many
neighbors and families living nearby have received letters saying not to drink or cook with their
water. No family should have to question the safety of their water. While the Lee plant
cleanup is long overdue I was disappointed to learn that other communities across our state
may not get a full cleanup. This is unacceptable. No community is low priority and no
community should have coal ash in leaking, unlined pits next to rivers, lakes, and drinking
water supplies. Capping in place is not a cleanup plan and all coal ash should be moved to
safer dry, lined storage away from our waterways.

About 128,000 people rely on drinking water intakes downstream from the leaking, unlined
coal ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee Plant. The Lee site includes a 143-acre wet coal ash
pond and at least three other large areas of buried coal ash located in the floodplain of the
Neuse River. Families living near the unlined, leaking coal ash pits have been informed by
DHHS that it is unsafe to drink or cook with their water due to the presence of elevated levels
of the carcinogen hexavalent chromium, cobalt, and other pollutants. State law requires
excavation and closure of coal ash basins ranked "intermediate" by 2024. In the meantime,
DEQ should ensure that neighbors of the Lee plant have access to a replacement source of
drinking water. Arsenic, chromium, and other pollutants have been detected in the

groundwater near Duke Energy's Lee site. The poison arsenic has been detected at 6,550%
and chromium at 403% above health standards in nearby groundwater. These pollutants are
potentially being discharged to the Neuse River The public should have access to all plans
made for excavation and movement of the ash, including details about the transportation of
the ash via trucks or rail. Both the local community, communities along the transport route,
and those near the final proposed storage location should have opportunities for input on
Duke's plans for permanent safe storage of the coal ash. While I support the Intermediate
classification at Lee, I stand with other communities and rivers across North Carolina that face
the prospect of having coal ash left submerged in groundwater sitting in leaking, unlined pits
next to rivers, lakes, and drinking water supplies.

father tells stories of 30 years ago when the workers at the Lee Plant would fill pot holes in my
parents' driveway and neighborhood driveways with coal ash. We were told that you must be
within 1500 ft. of the plant to qualify for testing. Is this true, and what steps can be taken to at
least have their water tested. They are willing to connect to county water if that is what it takes,
but they are one of the few in the area that still currently use well water. What options do we
have for water testing, as we feel that this should be the least that could be offered to
surrounding neighbors that are truly concerned. Thanks!

and families across North Carolina.
Duke Energy's Lee Plant includes a 143-acre wet coal ash pond and at least three other large
areas of buried coal ash. Families living near the unlined, leaking coal ash pits have been
informed by DEQ that it is unsafe to drink or cook with their water due to the presence of
elevated levels of the carcinogen hexavalent chromium, cobalt, and other pollutants.

ash is more quickly moved to dry lined storage and away from our waterways. Arsenic,
chromium, and other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near the leaking, unlined
coal ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. For example, arsenic has been detected at levels
6,550% above the state standard and chromium at levels 403% above the state standard in
nearby groundwater. I'm writing to urge the state to uphold the intermediate rating that Duke
Energy's Lee power station received. I was appalled to learn that arsenic, chromium, and
other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near these toxic pits at the Lee site. Many
neighbors and families living nearby have received letters saying not to drink or cook with their
water. No family should have to question the safety of their water. The public should have
access to all plans made for excavation and movement of the ash, including details about the
transportation of the ash via trucks or rail. Both the local community, communities along the
transport route, and those near the final proposed storage location should have opportunities

There is the possibility, just the possibility, that one human being has lost their life or became
severely ill due to the contaminants held in the coal ash storage ponds at the H.F. Lee plant.
The value of just one human life is much more than all of the costs of cleaning up this plant.
For just that reason alone, all pollution at H.F. Lee should be cleaned up immediately and
permanently." Duke is really the ethical, reputable, tree hugging organization they want to

make themselves out to be, why didn't they all this up years ago instead of waiting for an
environmental tragedy to occur and then acting like they're doing all they can? In reality, we
know that many people have lost their lives due to what's going on at this plant. There are
many more who are currently sick due to the contaminants held at this plant seeping into
water sources, air, and land. There are really so many reasons that not just the H.F. Lee
plant, but all coal plants in NC (and the world!) should be classified as high risk.

e, the undersigned elected otticials, are concerned about a danger coal ash presents tor
our communities. Coal ash is currently found in leaking, unlined pits across the state and
contains a toxic slurry of heavy metals that threaten nearby communities. We ask that state
government leaders and state regulators take appropriate action to require the removal of
coal ash out of all unlined pits and into safer lined storage away from our waterways. Please
ensure that coal ash ponds and landfills do not put at risk the safety, health, and economic
well-being of downstream communities, receiving communities, and communities along
transportation routes.

The NAMAB has been integrally involved in the review of groundwater assessment plans,
comprehensive site assessments, and corrective action plans, which have been submitted to
DEQ. Likewise, it has participated in the review of stability and engineering related
assessments and with the implementation of NAMAB-recom mended health and
environmental assessments of risk. While licensed professionals are responsible for these
work products, the group is sufficiently aware of the site -specific conditions to which the
CAMA risk classification criteria are being applied. For example, licensed engineers and
geologists, with support from health and environmental risk assessors, have determined that
there is no imminent hazard. Those same professionals have determined that existing
conditions at these sites do not present a substantial likelihood that death, serious illness,
severe personal injury, or a substantial endangerment to health, property, or the environment
will occur. SEE EMAIL ATTACHMENT A risk classification of intermediate or high (for

stability concerns. However, based on holistic and life cycle considerations, it may not be a
safe, effective and sustainable alternative. Other alternatives either individually or in
combinations, such as capping, monitored natural attenuation, slurry cutoff walls, in -place
stabilization/fixation, pumping wells, permeable reactive barriers and volume reduction of
impounded ash through escalation of beneficial use, should be considered and compared on
an impoundment by impoundment basis to develop an effective, safe and sustainable
remedial strategy. The efficacy of these alternative methods increases with the amount of ash
in any given location, i.e., the larger the impoundment, the smarter we need to be. The
environmental and geotechnical remediation business is very mature and has evolved
beyond a "dig and haul" mentality as the best and most environmentally protective solution.
The additional risk imposed by excavating and transporting ash from one location to another
can exceed the potential risk posed by leaving the ash in place. Risk drivers include the
statistical certainty of traffic fatalities and injuries, as tabulated by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. Likewise, excavation results in ecological disturbance, ongoing site
releases from ash disturbance for years and broader environmental impacts from resource

coal ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. For example, arsenic has been detected at levels
6,550% above the state standard and chromium at levels 403% above the state standard in
nearby groundwater. I'm writing to urge the state to uphold the intermediate rating that Duke
Energy's Lee power station received. I was appalled to learn that arsenic, chromium, and
other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near these toxic pits at the Lee site. Many
neighbors and families living nearby have received letters saying not to drink or cook with their
water. No family should have to question the safety of their water. The public should have
access to all plans made for excavation and movement of the ash, including details about the
transportation of the ash via trucks or rail. Both the local community, communities along the
transport route, and those near the final proposed storage location should have opportunities
for input on Duke's plans for permanent safe storage of the coal ash.
Duke Energy's Lee Plant includes a 143-acre wet coal ash pond and at least three other large
areas of buried coal ash. Families living near the unlined, leaking coal ash pits have been
informed by DEQ that it is unsafe to drink or cook with their water due to the presence of
elevated levels of the carcinogen hexavalent chromium, cobalt, and other pollutants.
encourage the Department of Environmental Quality to keep the "intermediate" classification
for the Lee Energy Complex or to go one step higher, to high risk, in order to ensure that coal
ash is more quickly moved to dry lined storage and away from our waterways. Arsenic,
chromium, and other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near the leaking, unlined

coal ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. For example, arsenic has been detected at levels
6,550 /o above the state standard and chromium at levels 403 /o above the state standard in
nearby groundwater. I'm writing to urge the state to uphold the intermediate rating that Duke
Energy's Lee power station received. I was appalled to learn that arsenic, chromium, and
other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near these toxic pits at the Lee site. Many
neighbors and families living nearby have received letters saying not to drink or cook with their
water. No family should have to question the safety of their water. The public should have
access to all plans made for excavation and movement of the ash, including details about the
transportation of the ash via trucks or rail. Both the local community, communities along the
transport route, and those near the final proposed storage location should have opportunities
for input on Duke's plans for permanent safe storage of the coal ash.
Duke Energy's Lee Plant includes a 143-acre wet coal ash pond and at least three other large
areas of buried coal ash. Families living near the unlined, leaking coal ash pits have been
informed by DEQ that it is unsafe to drink or cook with their water due to the presence of
elevated levels of the carcinogen hexavalent chromium, cobalt, and other pollutants.
encourage the Department of Environmental Quality to keep the "intermediate" classification
for the Lee Energy Complex or to go one step higher, to high risk, in order to ensure that coal
ash is more quickly moved to dry lined storage and away from our waterways. Arsenic,

coal ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. For example, arsenic has been detected at levels
6,550% above the state standard and chromium at levels 403% above the state standard in

Those proposed as low or intermediate priority —Allen, Belews Creek, Buck, Cape Fear, HF
Lee, Marshall, Mayo, Rogers, Roxboro, and Weatherspoon—put at proven risk the clean
drinking water that all citizens of the state deserve and expect. I applaud the efforts of Duke
Energy to attend immediately to the high priority sites for cleanup, removal and secure off -site,
lined and contained storage. These plans will safeguard the ground water, rivers, and streams
of our state. They need to be applied as well to the dozen other sites listed above. For the
future health —medical and financial —I urge NC DEQ to classify all of the coal ash sites as
high priority and require Duke Energy to transfer the coal ash to contained, lined, safe storage
sites, protecting our ground water, streams, and rivers. For low and intermediate priority
sites, to leave in place and "cap" those coal ash storage sites merely by covering them with

tarps means that we aren't willing to protect against ground water contamination as
dangerous chemicals seep from the unlined areas into municipal water sources and private
wells. That leaching has been well documented, as has the medically dangerous, and
potentially life -threatening, effects of ongoing exposure to contaminated water. In Flint,
Michigan we have seen the tragic consequences of official denials, of declaring the water
safe, of ignoring science: otherwise healthy children have suffered from prolonged exposure
in life changing and permanent ways. Their parents and grandparents have been put at risk
for diseases and disabilities. The impact on the state in medical costs, as well as civil and
criminal penalties, will extend for at least a generation. Because coal -generated power
requires enormous quantities of water, Duke Energy understandably located their plans near
water sources —and it is those same water sources that now must be protected from the
harmful and serious effects of the chemicals contained in the coal ash by-products.

for the Lee Energy Complex or to go one step higher, to high risk, in order to ensure that coal
ash is more quickly moved to dry lined storage and away from our waterways. Arsenic,
chromium, and other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near the leaking, unlined
coal ash pits at Duke Energy's Lee site. For example, arsenic has been detected at levels
6,550% above the state standard and chromium at levels 403% above the state standard in
nearby groundwater. I'm writing to urge the state to uphold the intermediate rating that Duke
Energy's Lee power station received. I was appalled to learn that arsenic, chromium, and
other pollutants have been detected in groundwater near these toxic pits at the Lee site. Many
neighbors and families living nearby have received letters saying not to drink or cook with their
water. No family should have to question the safety of their water.
The public should have access to all plans made for excavation and movement of the ash,
including details about the transportation of the ash via trucks or rail. Both the local
community, communities along the transport route, and those near the final proposed storage
location should have opportunities for input on Duke's plans for permanent safe storage of the
coal ash.
Duke Energy's Lee Plant includes a 143-acre wet coal ash pond and at least three other large
areas of buried coal ash. Families living near the unlined, leaking coal ash pits have been
informed by DEQ that it is unsafe to drink or cook with their water due to the presence of
elevated levels of the carcinogen hexavalent chromium, cobalt, and other pollutants.

location should have opportunities for input on Duke's plans for permanent safe storage of the
coal ash. Summary: We believe that Duke should research storage options that better
provide long-term solutions rather than landfills; favoring those that safely reuse coal ash or
fully encapsulate it above ground with a more permanent barrier than a synthetic liner.
Summary: Duke should invest toward renewable energy such as solar or wind and move
away from coal and natural gas.
