Subject: Status of Returned Selection Cards
Dear Mr. Zimmerman:
As indicated in my February 23, 2017 letter to you, I would like to provide you an update on
the current level of response from homeowners related to the permanent water solution
provision of House Bill 630.
Duke sent selection cards to eligible property owners in mid -January, asking for their
permanent water solution by March 15, 2017. During the week of March 20, 2017, letters with
a second selection card was sent to all property owners who had not submitted their
selection. These letters were sent via certified mail, so that Duke will have conformation of
receipt. We are tracking these letters to ensure delivery.
Attachment A contains a status of the total eligible households at each plant, the number of
selection cards returned, as well as the selection indicated. The status is as of close of
business Wednesday, March 29, 2017.
As indicated in our December 2016 Proposed Plans, well owners were asked to make a
selection for all households that were served by their well. If a well services multiple
households located on the same or multiple properties, the selection card from the well owner
was used to indicate the selection.
If a well owner submitted a selection card with no selection indicated, or if they wrote in their
own selection, a second selection card was mailed to them.
A number of households around Belews Creek, Roxboro, and Mayo attached an "alternative
selection card" with their cards. The "alternative selection card' reads:
choose a public water supply connection for a permanent water solution for my
home. That option has not been provided to me. Until a public water connection is
provided, 1 choose water filtration as an interim measure and l reserve any and all
rights to my claims for clean water for my property. " (emphasis as shown on card)
As detailed in the proposed plans submitted in December 2016 and conditionally approved by
NCDEQ in January 2017, public water in these communities was not offered due to concerns
over water quality and costs. These communities will continue to be offered a water filtration
system as their permanent solution.

Through discussions with property owners, their legal counsels, or through additional
investigation of property tax records and county GIS databases, there are some instances
where we have determined that:
- A property identified in the Dewberry report did not contain a household but rather had
a barn or shed on it, and therefore was removed from the eligibility list;
- A property identified in the Dewberry report as having multiple households on it
actually had a house and a shed/garage, so the total number was reduced;
- A property was already connected to municipal water;
- A property was abandoned and did not currently have a household on it; or
- A property contained more than one household on it or contained duplexes (currently
updating database).
I also wanted to make you aware of two changes to the proposed plans.
- At Rogers Energy Complex (Cliffside), the December 2016 proposed plan
recommended that water filtration systems were to be offered for households on Dysart
Road. We were made aware that there is a 2" water main located on Hines Road that
could be extended to service the households located on Dysart Road. The original plans
proposed a 4" line along this road. The local municipality agreed that the 2" line would
provide quality water to these households at an adequate pressure; therefore we offered
those households the option of connection to a municipal line or a water treatment
system.
- At Sutton, there are six (6) industrial customers located along a current water main.
The December 2016 proposed plan used a residential water treatment system as a
threshold to determine if a water line connection was cost prohibitive to install, but since
the systems that would be installed at these industrial locations would be sized to meet
the industrial needs, Duke is getting quotes for both the water filtration systems and for
connection to the existing municipal line to determine the appropriate options for these
industrial customers. Once cost estimates are submitted by vendors, we will update
NCDEQ with the information.
I look forward to our continued discussions on non -responsive well owners and will continue
to provide updates on the response rates from eligible well owners.
Sincer ly,
Paul Drao itch
