Duke Energy is submitting the Water Quality monitoring report as required by Special Condition
of Certification #9, of Water Quality Certification Number 3879 for impacts evaluation at the Craig
Road Landfill Phase II Expansion project. The report includes monitoring for streams SC -8 and
SC -10. No other streams that are required for monitoring have been impacted by construction at
this time.
Should you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Joyce Dishmon at 336-623-

Summary and comparison of assessments in August 2018 and March 2019:
Auzust
The habitat assessments of two streams (SC8 and SC 10) in the vicinity of Belews Creek Steam
Station (BCSS) Landfill were completed August 18, 2018. The overall assessment score for
habitat at SC8 was 33 and SC 10 scored 29. Observations of visible land use indicated that forest
made up 10% and coal ash landfill was 90%. The sample from SC8 contained four (4)
macroinvertebrate taxa. Chironomus sp was the only taxa listed as abundant, while the three
remaining taxa were rare. In the SC 10 sample there were 11 macroinvertebrate taxa identified.
Only one of those taxa, Chimarra aterrima, was listed as abundant; while Parametriocnemus sp.
and Tipula sp. were common taxa. The remaining nine taxa were classified as rare.
March
Habitat assessment results on March 19, 2019 for both SC8 and SC 10 were identical to the
August results, with the exception that there was a higher observed flow in the channel at SC 10.
Ten (10) macroinvertebrate taxa were identified from SC8; Parametriovnemus sp. was the only
taxa listed as common. The other six taxa were listed as rare. Fourteen (14) macroinvertebrate
taxa were identified from SC 10 in March of 2019. There were three abundant taxa:
Parametriocnemus sp., Cricotopus sp., and Chimarra aterrima. As well as three taxa identified
as common: Eukiefferiella claripennis gp, Diamesa sp., and Diplectrona modesta. Eight of the
remaining taxa found were rare. Notably in the SC 10 sample, there was one Maccaffertium sp.
found, but could only be identified to genus.
Results
The August and March results were extremely similar in species composition, and had an
identical Biotic Index (BI) value of 4.65 and a "good" bioclassification, according to the NC
Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity. In the sample from August 2018, there were few individuals
found, which is consistent with the majority of sampling events prior to 2018. The lack of
diverse individuals lead to a bioclassification of "poor" with a Biotic index (BI) value of 9.25.
This was similar to the March sample, apart from one Maccaffertium sp., which also had a
bioclassification of "poor", and a lower BI value of 7.38.

Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimum of 100 meters with 200 meters preferred of stream, preferably in an
upstream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right-of-way. The segment which is assessed should represent
average stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream. To complete the form,
select the description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two
descriptions, select an intermediate score. A final habitat score is determined by adding the results from the different metrics.
