Duke Energy respectfully submits a Notice of Intent for applicable permit coverage under the General
Permit NCS 130000 for the Buck Ash Beneficiation Facility, located in Rowan County at the existing

NCDEQ Stormwater Permitting Section.

We appreciate your attention to this request and look forward to finalizing the General Permit NCS 130000
