Coal Pile Assessment Work Plan May 24, 2019
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC — Belews Creek Steam Station SynTerra
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This work plan provides a description of groundwater and soil assessment activities
proposed for the Coal Pile area at the Belews Creek Steam Station (BCSS, Station, or
Site) owned and operated by Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy). The Site,
located in Stokes County, North Carolina, encompasses approximately 6,100 acres of
company -owned property along Belews Reservoir. The Coal Pile is located east of the
Structural Fill and southeast of the ash basin (Figure 1).
1.1 Regulatory Background
In 2014, The North Carolina General Assembly passed the Coal Ash Management Act
(CAMA). CAMA required owners of a coal combustion residuals (CCR) surface
impoundment to conduct detailed assessment of site groundwater within and around
the CCR surface impoundments. The primary source of CCR-related constituents at the
BCSS was identified as the ash basin during the Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA)
(HDR, 2015) and the CSA Update (SynTerra, 2017).
The Coal Pile is not coincident with the ash basin, as it is located approximately 1,700
feet southeast of the ash basin and a topographic hydrogeological divide represented by
Pine Hall Road. The topographic hydrogeological divide was identified through Site
assessment information from the CSA and CSA Update. Groundwater flow direction
beneath the Coal Pile is predicted to be predominantly away from the ash basin, and
toward the plant area and Belews Reservoir. Groundwater monitoring well GWA-6S/D
is located approximately 1,000 feet north of the Coal Pile, and GWA-7S/D is located
approximately 500 feet northwest of the Coal Pile (Figure 1). However, these wells are
considered upgradient of the Coal Pile. No existing monitoring wells are located in
areas predicted to be downgradient, in the direction of groundwater flow from the Coal
Pile. Because no groundwater sampling results are currently available for use in
assessing the area, assessment of inorganic constituents in soils and groundwater in the
Coal Pile area is planned.
Duke Energy understands the Coal Pile area groundwater and soils could be primary
and secondary sources of inorganic constituents that are to be further assessed apart
from CAMA or the CCR Rule.

1.2 Site Description
Detailed descriptions of the Site operational history, physical setting and features,
geology/hydrogeology, and results of the findings of Site assessment -related works are
documented in the following documents:
• Comprehensive Site Assessment Report — Belews Creek Steam Station Ash Basin (HDR
Engineering, Inc. of the Carolinas (HDR, 2015a).
• Corrective Action Plan Part 1— Belews Creek Steam Station Ash Basin (HDR, 2015b).
• Corrective Action Plan Part 2 (included CSA Supplement 1 as Appendix A) — Belews
Creek Steam Station Ash Basin (HDR, 2016a).
• Comprehensive Site Assessment Supplement 2 — Belews Creek Steam Station Ash Basin
(HDR, 2016b).
• Comprehensive Site Assessment Update — Belews Creek Steam Station Ash Basin
(SynTerra, 2017).
• 2018 CAMA Annual Interim Monitoring Report —Belews Creek Steam Station
(SynTerra, April 2018).
The Coal Pile is the storage field for coal used in the Station's process for power
generation. The storage field holds about 1,350,000 tons of coal covering an area of
approximately 42 acres. The Coal Pile storage field is unlined and has been maintained
at the same location since Station operations began in 1974. The Coal Pile has been
identified as a potential additional source of inorganic constituents in groundwater by
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ).

2.0 COAL PILE ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES
Objectives of the Coal Pile assessment include the following:
• Characterize unsaturated soil inorganic constituents for assessment of potential
secondary sources to groundwater.
• Determine groundwater flow direction.
• Compare inorganic constituent concentrations in the Coal Pile area with site
background concentrations evaluated during the CAMA ash basin assessment
and with other applicable regulatory criteria.
• Evaluate potential constituent transport.
2.1 Soil Assessment
Coal Pile area soils would be sampled and analyzed for inorganic parameters to
determine whether they are a secondary source of inorganic constituents that can leach
into underlying groundwater. Soil samples would be collected at prescribed depths, as
described on Table 1, from proposed monitoring well locations (Figure 1) as part of
well installation activities. Soil samples would be collected at approximately 2-foot
intervals to the top of the groundwater table. An additional soil sample would be
collected below the water table within the new well screen interval. Soil samples would
be analyzed for inorganic parameters listed on Table 2, with adjusted reporting limits
appropriate for comparison of soil analytical results to the Primary Soil Remediation
Goals Protection of Groundwater (PSRG POG).
Soil samples would also be analyzed using a synthetic precipitation leaching procedure
(SPLP) to understand potential leaching effects from the solid media. Soil SPLP samples
would be collected at a frequency of two per well cluster location with one unsaturated
sample collected from 2 to 3 feet below ground surface, and one saturated sample
collected 2 to 3 feet below the water table. Soil SPLP samples would be analyzed for
inorganic parameters listed on Table 2.
Soil or rock samples would be collected from depths that coincide with the screen
intervals of newly installed wells for potential analysis of metal oxy-hydroxide phases
of iron and aluminum (HFO and HAO). After the first round of groundwater sampling,
wells that are geochemically significant to the Site would be selected for analysis as
necessary.

2.2 Groundwater Assessment
Twenty-four (24) Coal Pile area assessment groundwater monitoring wells (designated
as "CP ") would be installed in shallow, deep, and bedrock groundwater zones in
designated areas surrounding the Coal Pile. Proposed Coal Pile area well installation
locations are shown on Figure 1, and proposed well details are provided as Table 1.
The shallow zone is considered groundwater within soil and unconsolidated saprolite
material. The deep zone is considered groundwater within partially weathered rock,
transition zone material underlying the shallow zone, and overlying competent
bedrock. The bedrock zone is considered competent rock, with potential for bedrock
fractures. Eight shallow ("S"), eight deep ("D"), and eight bedrock ("BR") groundwater
monitoring wells (CP-1S/D/BR through CP-8S/D/BR) would be installed as well clusters
surrounding the Coal Pile. Specific well locations may be shifted depending on access
and field conditions at the time of installation.
Well installation procedures and well construction materials and lengths would be
consistent with ongoing CAMA assessment activities in accordance with the approved
Proposed Groundwater Assessment Work Plan (Rev. 1) (SynTerra, 2014). During boring
installation, soil/rock cuttings would be described for lithologic information, including
color and soil/rock type. Each well would be constructed in accordance with NCAC
Title 15A, Subchapter 2C, Section .0100 Well Construction Standards and consist of 2-
inch diameter NSF schedule 40 PVC flush -joint threaded casings and prepacked
screens.
After installation, the monitoring wells would be developed in order to remove drill
fluids, clay, silt, sand, and other fines, which might have been introduced into the
formation or sand pack during drilling and well installation, and to establish
communication of the well with the aquifer. After well completion, the newly installed
wells would be surveyed for location and elevation.
Groundwater samples would be collected using low -flow sampling techniques per the
groundwater sampling procedures provided in the Low Flow Sampling Plan, Duke Energy
Facilities, Ash Basin Groundwater Assessment Program, North Carolina, June 10, 2015 (Low
Flow Sampling Plan). Groundwater samples will be analyzed for constituent parameters
in Table 3.

'Proposed boring depths and screened intervals are estimates based on well construction information from nearest spatitally existing wells; actual screened intervals and total boring depths will be determined based on field
observations and approved by a INC Licensed Geologist. SynTerra recommends each well screen be submerged beneath the water table and have a length of at least 10 feet
2Number of soil samples shown is approximate. A shallower water table will result in fewer samples, and a deeper water table will result in additional samples.
'SynTerra recommends a combination of hollow stem auger and air rotary or sonic drilling methods for boring and well installation
°Soil sample for inorganic analysis and HAO/HFO sample collection by means of split spoon techniques within the open borehole provide sufficient material for soil sampling and lithologic description. SynTerra recommends each
