Net Environmental Benefits January 17, 2016
Memorandum
As required by the North Carolina Coal Ash Management Act (LAMA), the North Carolina Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has proposed initial risk classifications for each impoundment. Under
CAMA, a given classification is based on consideration of nine different factors, one of which is any
other factor DEQ deems relevant to the establishment of risk.
In the case of off -site impacts to private wells, the data and peer -reviewed modeling confirm that
excavation provides no real benefit in comparison to capping the material in place or other
innovative/sustainable solutions. This conclusion was anticipated by the U.S. EPA in its CCR rule.
Similarly, six Environmental Impact Statements prepared by the Tennessee Valley Authority in
December of 2015 confirmed that excavation would not meaningfully improve groundwater quality while
creating new risks. The EPA explicitly requires consideration of the associated impacts to the
environment with any excavation, transportation, and re -disposal of material (p. 21488, Selection of
Remedy, Part 257.97).
For sites in which groundwater/surface water impacts are the primary risk drivers, employing excavation
as a remedy creates additional risk. The additional risk from excavation and transporting ash from one
location to another is greater than the risk posed by leaving the ash in place. The table below provides
estimates of the risk associated with excavation, transportation and ecological disturbance. For example,
one out of eight traffic fatalities in 2005 resulted from a collision involving a large truck' such as would
be moving ash from various sites. Ecologically, disturbance scales directly with volume of ash moved and
distance traveled.

Notes:
(a) Risk values for fatalities and injuries taken from Dr. Lisa Bradley, Haley & Aldrich, data from Oak Ridge
National Laboratory.
1.1E-7 = 1.1 x 10-' = 1.1 / 107 = 0.00000011 = One fatality for every 9,090,909 man-hours
6.6E-5 = 6.6 x 10-5 = 6.6 / 105 = 0.000066 = One non -fatal injury for every 15,151 man-hours
(b) Risk values for fatalities and injuries taken from Dr. Lisa Bradley, Haley & Aldrich, data from U.S. Department
of Transportation.
2.8E-8 = 2.8 x 10 = 2.8 / 10' = 0.000000028 = One fatality for every 35,714,285 truck -miles
8.4E-7 = 8.4 x 10-7 = 8.4 / 107 = 0.00000084 = One non -fatal injury for every 1,190,476 truck -miles
(c) Point values taken from SimaPro 8 Analysis, Eco-Indicator Results, as performed by Dr. Krishna Reddy, P.E.,
University of Illinois at Chicago (see Appendix). Point (Pt) values represent a standard Eco-Indicator value, as
computed for one site. Pt values are dimensionless, derived from normalizing impacts relative to established
databases for each category (e.g., ecotoxicity). The absolute number of points is not meaningful except in
comparison across scenarios. Interested readers are directed to PR6 Consultants, where supporting the
publications and case studies can be found: https://www.pre-sustainability.com/.

SimaPro 8 Inputs and Assumptions
The total hours of operation for the
L Processes Input Units equipment is calculated by assuming
Excavation (total ash quantity kton that the ash removal rate is 1 million
for a scenario) tons/year.
Loader operation Hours Days of operation = Ash quantity/2740
tons
Transport of total ash Ktkm Time of operation calculated assuming
excavated for each
