Subject: Completion of Permanent Alternate Water Supply Requirements Under General
Statute 13 0A-3 09.211(c 1)
W. H. Weatherspoon Power Plant
Dear Mr. Draovitch:
On October 10, 2018, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received a
request from Duke Energy for W. H. Weatherspoon Power Plant 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 Weatherspoon facility.
Please note that, since Duke Energy is currently in the process of preparing the updated
Comprehensive Site Assessment and Corrective Action Plan for the W. H. Weatherspoon Power
Plant 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).
