Subject: Rescission of Ash Distribution Permit
Permit No. W00000452
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC
Dear Mr. Sideris:
Reference is made to your request received August 7, 2014, for renewal of the subject Ash Distribution
Permit. On September 20, 2014, Senate Bill 729 — Coal Ash Management Act of 2014 became law.
Accordingly, this act superseded the 02T requirements for structural fill and any future CCP structural fill
projects must comply with this new law. All required permit application and documentation shall be
submitted to the Division of Waste Management. Since no ash has been distributed or utilized under this
permit, therefore, Permit No. W00000452 is no longer needed as indicated in your letter dated July 15,
2015, and hereby rescinded, effective immediately.
Please note the following activities are still deemed permitted under 15A NCAC 02T .1203:
♦ Use of CCPs as fuel for combustion in boilers, furnaces, etc. for energy recovery.
♦ Use of CCPs as material for manufacturing concrete products, asphalt products, brick
products, lightweight aggregate roofing materials, insulation products, plastics,
paints, bowling balls, cosmetics and other manufactured products in which the ash are
encapsulated in the manufactured product.
♦ Use or disposal of CCPs in a solid waste facility permitted by the Division of Waste
Management that is approved to receive the CCPs.
♦ Use of CCPs as material for traction control during snow and ice events, provided
that the CCPs do not exceed the leachate concentrations of concern as stipulated in
15A NCAC 02T .1205(a).
♦ Use of CCPs as a substitute for blasting grit, roofing granules, and filter cloth precoat
for residuals dewatering, provided that the CCPs do not exceed the leachate
concentrations of concern as stipulated in 15A NCAC 02T .1205(a).

application activities meet all applicable conditions stipulated in 15A NCAC 02T
.1108(b)(1) and 02T. I 109(b)(1).
Please note that records of all CCPs distributed for deemed permitted activities shall be maintained
in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .1209. In addition, records of monitoring results to demonstrate
compliance with specific requirements as stipulated under 15A NCAC 02T .1203 for CCP distributed for
