Dear Mr. Draovitch:
In light of the time constraints imposed by Duke Energy's filing of Petitions for Contested Case
Hearings on April 26, 2019 contesting the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Closure
Determinations for the Allen, Belews Creek, Cliffside/Rogers, Marshal, Mayo, and Roxboro

letter of October 8, 2018 as follows:
• Duke Energy submittal of closure plans — December 31, 2019
• Duke Energy submittal of updated corrective action plans for all sources at the Facilities

2020
• Duke Energy submittal of comprehensive site assessments for sources at the Facilities
that are not associated with the coal ash impoundments — March 31, 2020
Pursuant to the Coal Ash Management Act (CAMA), specifically N.C. Gen. Stat. § 130A-
309.214, Duke Energy shall submit one closure plan for each CCR impoundment at the
Facilities. Each closure plan shall conform to the determination made by DEQ on April 1, 2019.
