justification for changes to the Optimized Interim Monitoring Plans (IMPs). DWR has reviewed
and accepts Duke Energy's justifications for changes to the IMPs for the Asheville Steam Electric
Plant, Belews Creek Steam Station, and Roxboro Steam Electric Plant. DWR also accepts Duke
Energy's proposed plans for potentially incorporating the wells at the Belews Creek Steam Station
and Roxboro Steam Electric Plant into their respective IMPs.
If you have any questions, please contact the respective DWR Regional Office or Steve Lanter

Sincerely,
