Subject: Completion of Permanent Alternate Water Supply Requirements Under General
Statute 130A-309.21 1(c 1)
Marshall Steam Station
Dear Mr. Draovitch:
On August 31, 2018, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received a
request from Duke Energy for Marshall 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 Marshall facility.
Please note that, since Duke Energy is currently in the process of preparing the updated Corrective
Action Plan for the Marshall 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-309.21l(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).
