Subject: Completion of Permanent Alternate Water Supply Requirements Under General
Statute 13 OA -309.211(c 1)
Allen Steam Station
Dear Mr. Draovitch:
On August 1, 2018, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received a
request from Duke Energy for Allen Steam Station for confirmation of completion of the
permanent alternate water provision under the Coal Ash Management Act (CAMA) General
Statute (G.S.) 130A-309.211(cl). Based on our review of the submitted documentation, DEQ
hereby confirms that Duke Energy has satisfactorily completed the alternate water provision under
CAMA, G.S. 130A -309.211(c1) at the Allen Steam Station.
Please note that, since Duke Energy is currently in the process of preparing the updated Corrective
Action Plan for the Allen Steam Station and the results of groundwater modeling have not yet been
received, DEQ reserves the right to determine that additional households are eligible and shall be
provided permanent alternate water solutions per G.S. 130A-309.211(cl) based on any new
information provided. Any future determination of additional eligible households by DEQ will not
affect this confirmation of Duke's compliance with the October 15, 2018 deadline in G.S. 130A-
309.211(cl). Further, this confirmation letter does not constitute a final classification for any
impoundment under G.S. 130A -309.213(d).
