Allen has an excellent point. The drinking water well is also downstream of the coal Pile!

Don't forget about the coal pile as well, which is why we tried to get them to abandon this well and install a new
one upgradient of the ash basin and coal pile...

Jay,
Buck received results on the first sampling event of the new ash basin groundwater wells. One of the
groundwater wells downstream of the ash basins also has elevated sulfate. Note that Buck's drinking water well
is located downstream of the ash basins. I suppose it is possible for the ash basins to be contributing to the
elevated sulfate issue.

Jay,
Buck's drinking water well has historically had elevated sulfate. In fact, sulfate was higher on the sampling event
three years ago than it was this year. NCDENR indicated that sulfate is a secondary standard and it is really not
an issue. Corrective action nor treatment is required. Were you able to verify lab data on the iron analysis? As
you know, we have resampled for iron at the well and normal sampling point.

Nob, where did we say the sulfate in the drinking water at Buck was coming from. I want to include
this in our monthly highlights.
Thanks,
