Belews Creek, NC 27009
Duke Energy is submitting the Water Quality monitoring report as required by Special Condition
of Certification #9, of Water Quality Certification Number 3879 for impacts evaluation at the
Craig Road Landfill Phase II Expansion project. The report includes monitoring for streams SC -
8 and SC -10. No other streams that are required for monitoring have been impacted by
construction at this time.
Should you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Joyce Dishmon at 336-623-
0238 or [e-mail].

S`ummary��and.com,parison of assessments in.March,201'7' and.August 201.6: = .
The habitat assessments of two, streams (SC8 and SC 10) in the vicinity of'Belews Creek- Steam '
Station (BCSS) Landfill were completed on March 23, '201.7 and August 29,` 2016.-T.he,overalI
assessment score for habitat atSC8in,March2017 was SO, thesame�as in August 2016. SCI
varied from 29 in Marchto 30 in_August, thts;is most: likely due to di"fferent methodology in
scoring between the two collectors. Dissolved okygen (DO) was'noticeably lower in March'2047 .
than in August.2016, while specific conductance -was higher, and pH was.slightly lower. The
difference: could .be due to,the lack of:mov:ing water as most -of the stream was a standing pool
and seasonality,. Temperatures'in March and August.reflected, normal` seasonal variation:
Observati:ons of v.isible;land.use;indicated that forestation (10,%0) and'coal,ash'land fll(90%) was
the same -during both March 2017 and August; 2016.
A total of 13 rriacroin rt b t °t 'd
ve e_ ra_e axa were i entified from SC8 an,March..Heterotrissocladius
marcidus,..Nais cathmirnis, and''Lumbriculidae were,li'sted as -common. Nine other taxa were
listed' as rare; :and Paranfe&iocnernus,ap. was abundant.giving rt a bioclass ification ofGood=Fair
with a score of 5.42, which is a step up from the August, sample 'which was. poor according to. the
NCIBI, and a•scoreDf 8,5:6. In. August.2016,22 macro invertebrate taxa were observed..
ry _ p ibellula, sp:, Helochares sp', Physellct sp..and Dero sp. were, listed as
E themissim licicollis, L'
common, while 16. other. taxa were listed, as rare, and Chironomus.was abundant'.; ;

A total of nine macro in vertebrate taxa were identified from SC 10 in March of 2017, as well as a
number of salamanders, that were; not identified. There were no, common taxa. Eight ofthe taxa
-.found were rare;, and Physella henderson'i was, abundant`in the sample. This gave a- biotic; index
score of 8.56 according:to the NCiBI small. stream requirement acid the bioclassi'fiwation was
poor. There were 18 macroiriyertebrate, taxa. identified in August 2016. Only one of those taxa,.
Atr-ichop.'ogon sp.,, was listed as abundant; while ,Chironomus"sp. Thienemannimyia sp, Anopheles
SP, . and Chimarra aterrima were all common. Leaving,th'e remai'ng,1 I taxa as rare This was a
drastic -,difference from the March sample; which, had a poor bi'oclassification, the;August
classification was'fair and a ise:ore. of 6.82.
