SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Section 1 – Introduction and Background
HDR is pleased to provide the attached figure and table presenting identified updates for the
Drinking Water Supply Well and Receptor Survey at the Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke
Energy) Belews Creek Steam Station (BCSS). The updated information was obtained from
responses to water supply well survey questionnaires mailed to property owners within a 0.5-
mile radius of the BCSS ash basin compliance boundary requesting information on the
presence of water supply wells and well usage. This supplement provides the background on
the development of this information.
Duke Energy owns and operates BCSS, located on Belews Lake in Stokes County at 3195 Pine
Hall Road, Belews Creek, North Carolina. BCSS began operation in 1974 as a coal-fired
generating station and currently operates two coal-fired units. BCSS has historically used an
ash basin for disposal of ash generated by the coal combustion process.
On August 13, 2014, Duke Energy received a Notice of Regulatory Requirements (NORR) for
the 14 Coal Ash Facilities owned by Duke Energy in North Carolina, which included
requirements to perform a receptor survey. HDR submitted the Belews Creek Steam Station
Ash Basin, Drinking Water Supply Well and Receptor Survey, NPDES Permit NC00024406,
dated September 30, 2014 (Survey) to satisfy the requirements outlined in NC Senate Bill 729
and the NORR. The scope of this Survey included identification of all receptors within a 0.5-
mile radius (2,640 feet) of the BCSS ash basin compliance boundary. The compliance
boundary for groundwater quality in relation to the ash basin is defined in accordance with 15A
NCAC 02L .0107(a) as being established at either 500 feet from the waste boundary or at the
property boundary, whichever is closer to the source. The receptors included public and private
water supply wells (including irrigation wells and unused or abandoned wells) and surface water
features within a 0.5-mile radius of the BCSS ash basin compliance boundary. HDR also
identified public water supplies and wellhead protection areas (if present) within a 0.5-mile
radius of the BCSS ash basin compliance boundary. A potential area of interest with respect to
the BCSS ash basin groundwater flow was delineated and presented in the Survey. Based on
the available information, this area is considered to be potentially downgradient from the BCSS
ash basin.

SECTION 2 – WATER SUPPLY WELL SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE APPROACH

Section 2 – Water Supply Well Survey
Questionnaire Approach
During the week of October 8, 2014, HDR mailed water supply well survey questionnaires to
property owners within a 0.5-mile radius of the BCSS ash basin compliance boundary
requesting information on the presence of water supply wells and well usage for the properties.
The mailing list was compiled from a query of the parcel addresses included in the Stokes
County GIS database utilizing the 0.5-mile offset. For each parcel identified, a letter was mailed
to the property owner stating the purpose of the request for information, a questionnaire, and
self-addressed stamped envelope. The letter requested the property owner provide a timely
response to the questionnaire. For property owners associated with multiple parcels, a
questionnaire was mailed for each parcel. A total of 63 surveys were mailed to property
owners.
Questionnaire responses received after October 31, 2014 will be incorporated into the
Groundwater Assessment Report required by Senate Bill 729 (Section 130A-309.209(a)(4)).

SECTION 3 – WATER SUPPLY WELL SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS

Section 3 – Water Supply Well Survey
Questionnaire Results
Based on the returned water supply well surveys, the following revisions have been made to the
previously submitted information and are reflected in Figure 1 and Table 1 attached to this letter:
• Three (3) of the previously reported 24 “field identified” private water supply wells were
confirmed to have private water supply wells located on the properties. These wells are
now identified as “reported” private water supply wells on Figure 1 and Table 1. The
Well IDs with revised identifications are 8, 14, and 40.

• Two (2) of the previously reported 14 “assumed” private water supply wells were
confirmed to have private water supply wells located on the properties. These wells are
now identified as “reported” private water supply wells on Figure 1 and Table 1. The
Well IDs with revised identifications are 1 and 5.

• Three (3) new wells have been identified based on information provided in the returned
questionnaires. These wells are now identified as “reported” private water supply wells
on Figure 1 and Table 1. The new Well IDs include 47, 48, and 49.
