1.0 INTRODUCTION
This work plan provides a description of groundwater and soil assessment activities
proposed for the former coal pile area at the H.F. Lee Energy Complex (H.F. Lee, Plant,
or Site), owned and operated by Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy).
1.1 Regulatory Background
In 2014, The North Carolina General Assembly passed the Coal Ash Management Act
(CAMA). CAMA requires owners of coal combustion residuals (CCR) surface
impoundments to conduct detailed assessment of site groundwater within and around
CCR surface impoundments. In addition to CAMA requirements, North Carolina (NC)
General Statutes and NC Administrative Code 02L provide requirements for the
assessment and abatement of soil and groundwater impacts resulting from Site
activities. Soil in the former coal pile area and underlying groundwater will be assessed
to comply with existing regulations.
1.2 Site Background
H.F. Lee is located on a 2,100 acre property near Goldsboro, in Wayne County, North
Carolina. The Plant began commercial operation in 1951. Coal-fired power generation
continued until the last coal-fired units were retired in September 2012. A natural gas -
fired combined -cycle plant was constructed and began operation in December 2012.
Coal ash was historically sluiced to the Plant's on -site ash basins, which include three
inactive ash basins, an active ash basin and Lay of Land Area (LOLA). Despite the
name, the active ash basin no longer receives coal ash, and the Site no longer generates
coal ash. The primary sources of CCR-related constituents at H.F. Lee are the inactive
ash basins and active ash basin.
Previous reports provide descriptions of the Site operational history, physical setting
and features, geology/hydrogeology, and results of Site assessment activities:
• Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA) Report — H.F. Lee Energy Complex (SynTerra,
2015a).
• Corrective Action Plan Part 1— H.F. Lee Energy Complex (SynTerra, 2015b.

1.3 Coal Pile Area Description and Background
The former coal pile area is located between the former coal plant operations area and
the cooling pond (Figure 1). The coal pile was the storage area for coal used in coal-fired
power generation at the Plant. Based on historical aerial photos, the approximate
location of the coal pile remained consistent throughout the operating history of the
Plant, with minor changes to the footprint depending on the volume of coal stockpiles.
The former coal pile area is unlined and has been identified as a potential additional
source of inorganic constituents in groundwater by North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ).
The former coal pile area is not coincident with ash basins at the Site. It is located
approximately 1,000 feet west-southwest of the LOLA, 1,600 feet southwest of the active
ash basin and approximately 3,800 feet east of the inactive ash basins. The coal pile area
is separated from the inactive ash basins and active ash basin by the Neuse River, from
the LOLA by the cooling pond, and from the combined -cycle plant by the bypass canal.
The Neuse River is a hydrogeological divide and the hydraulic boundary for
constituent migration at the Site (SynTerra, 2015a and 2016b). Water from the Neuse
River is diverted north of the combined -cycle plant to form the bypass canal, which
then rejoins the main Neuse River channel south of the Site. Groundwater flow
direction beneath the coal pile is anticipated to be predominantly north toward the
Neuse River and southwest toward the bypass canal.
Several existing monitoring wells associated with a petroleum assessment, conducted
by Mid -Atlantic Engineering & Environmental Solutions (Mid -Atlantic), are located to
the southwest, in the anticipated direction of groundwater flow from the coal pile.
Those wells may be used to monitor groundwater flow direction. No existing
monitoring wells are located in areas predicted to be upgradient from the coal pile.

2.0 COAL PILE ASSESSMENT PLAN
2.1 Objectives
Objectives of the coal pile assessment include:
• Assess inorganic constituents in unsaturated soil.
• Characterize inorganic constituent concentrations in groundwater and assess
lateral and vertical extents.
• Determine groundwater flow direction.
• Evaluate potential constituent transport.
Inorganic constituent concentrations in the coal pile area will be compared with Site
background concentrations evaluated during the CAMA ash basin assessment and with
other applicable regulatory criteria.
2.2 Groundwater Assessment
The area surrounding the H.F. Lee Plant is characterized by shallow water table
conditions occurring in surficial soils and unconsolidated sediments. The surficial
groundwater flow zone is underlain by the Coastal Plain regional aquifer system.
Three hydrostratigraphic units were identified at the Site during CSA activities:
• Surficial - Surficial deposits in the western part of the Coastal Plain, including
Wayne County, are composed of Quaternary terrace deposits that are primarily
sands with inter -bedded silts and clays (Winner and Coble, 1996). The surficial
flow layer is the primary flow zone for groundwater and constituent transport.
• Cape Fear - The Cape Fear Formation is the oldest outcropping unit in the North
Carolina Coastal Plain. It consists of interbedded clays and sands with some
gravel. Clays range in color from gray with thin red zones to beds that are
dominantly red to pink. Sands are noted to be rich in clay and commonly include
clay clasts (Sohl and Owens, 1991).
• Black Creek - The Black Creek Formation was described from river exposures
upstream of Goldsboro, NC, as consisting mainly of "interbedded, carbonaceous,
black clay and white sand units, or of thin -bedded, horizontally stratified
interbeds of clay and glauconitic, quartz sand"(Sohl and Owens, 1991). Winner
and Coble, 1996 noted a high organic content and the presence of lignitized
wood as primary characteristics of Black Creek sediments in the subsurface.
Pyrite is often associated with lignite fragments (Sohl and Owens, 1991).

Duke Energy Progress, LLC — H.F. Lee Energy Complex SynTerra
Twelve (12) coal pile area assessment groundwater monitoring wells (designated as
"CP ") will be installed in surficial, and deep (Cape Fear or Black Creek) groundwater
zones in designated areas surrounding the coal pile. Six shallow ("S"), and six deep
("D"), groundwater monitoring wells (CPAS/D through CP-6S/D) would be installed as
well clusters in and around the coal pile area. Specific well locations may be shifted
depending on access and field conditions at the time of installation. Proposed coal pile
area well installation locations are shown on Figure 1 and proposed well details are
provided as Table 1.
Well installation procedures and well construction materials and lengths will 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 will 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 will be developed in order to remove drilling
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 will be surveyed for location and elevation.
Groundwater samples will 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 2.
2.3 Soil Assessment
Coal pile area soils will be sampled and analyzed for inorganic parameters at prescribed
depths (Table 1) from proposed monitoring well locations (Figure 1) as part of well
installation activities. Depending on the depth -to -water encountered during completion
of soil borings, one or two unsaturated soil samples will be collected above the water
table at each monitoring well cluster location. Unsaturated soil samples will be
analyzed for inorganic parameters listed on Table 3. Reporting limits are adjusted for
comparison with NCDEQ Protection of Groundwater (POG) Preliminary Soil
Remediation Goals (PSRGs). One unsaturated soil sample from each well location will
also be analyzed by synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP).

A saturated soil sample will be collected at each new well location within the well
screen interval for inorganic parameters listed on Table 3 and 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 will
be selected for HFO and HAO analysis as necessary.
2.4 Reporting
The coal pile assessment findings will be presented in the Updated CSA report, which is
anticipated to be submitted to NCDEQ by October 1, 2020.

1 Proposed boring depths and screened intervals are estimates based on well construction information from nearest spatially existing wells; actual screened intervals and total boring depths will be determined
based on field observations and approved by a NC Licensed Geologist. SynTerra recommends each well screen be submerged beneath the water table and have a length of at least 10 feet.
2 Number 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.
3 All soil samples will be analyzed for inorganic parameters. HAO/HFO samples will be collected from screen intervals and analyzed as needed to support geochemical modeling.
