Subject: Sutton Coal Ash Permits
Dear DEQ,
Please do not allow Duke Energy to pollute our waterways with toxic coal ash pollution. Our community faces too many
uncertainties regarding the safety of our water. Sutton Lake is an important fishing lake that many people depend on to
feed their families, with a long history of coal ash pollution problems. The permit would allow contaminated wastewater
to flow into the Cape Fear River by removing or weakening limits on arsenic, mercury, and other coal ash pollutants.
DEQ should require Duke Energy to stop its pollution.
The current permit as written would do little to protect our waterways. Please strengthen the draft NPDES permit.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Connie Zuback
