### November 30, 2012 Duke Energy ATTN: Jay Perkins Scientific Support-Laboratory 13339 Hagers Ferry Road Huntersville NC 28078 jcperkins@duke-energy.com labcustomer@duke-energy.com
RE: Project DUK-HV1201 Client Project: J12110243 Dear Mr. Perkins, On November 16, 2012, Brooks Rand Labs (BRL) received three (3) wastewater samples and three (3) corresponding field blanks. An aliquot was removed from each sample bottle and filtered into a separate container designed for dissolved mercury (Hg) analysis. The sample volume from the original container was logged-in for total Hg analysis. All samples were received, prepared, analyzed, and stored acco rding to BRL SOPs and EPA methodology.Data used for regulatory purposes has a 24 hour filtration holding time requirement. Nonregulatory purposed data has a 48 hour filtration holding time. The samples for filtration were received outside of the non-regulatory requirement holding time and were qualified H

. The results were blank-corrected as described in the calculations section of the relevant SOP and may have been evaluated using reporting limits that have been adjusted to account for sample aliquot size. Please refer to the Sample Results page for sample-specific MDLs, MRLs, and other details. The continuing calibration blank (CCB) CCBD had a concentration above the low calibration standard. This was likely due to carryover fr om some extremely high samples which were analyzed before it. All samples which were bracketed by this CCB were much greater than 10x the concentration of the CCB and no further action was necessary. Aside from concentration qualifiers, all data was reported without further qualification and all associated quality control sample results met the acceptance criteria. BRL, an accredited laboratory, certifies the reported results of all analyses for which BRL is NELAP accredited meet all NELAP requirements. For more details, see the Report Information page of the report. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this report. Sincerely,

Lydia Greaves Project Manager lydia@brooksrand.comPro j ect ID: DUK-HV1201 PM: Tiffan yStilwater Client PM: Ja yPerkins Client PO: 141391



### Definition of Data Qualifiers (Effective 9/23/09) 

### Laboratory Accreditation BRL is accredited by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) through the State of Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Laboratories (E87982) and is ce rtified to perform many environmental analyses. BRL is also certified by many other states to perform environmental analyses. For a current list of ou r accreditations/certifications, please vi sit our website at <http://www.brooksrand. com/default.asp?contentID=586>. Results reported relate only to the samples listed in the report.

### Applied Speciation and Consulting, LLC Report prepared for: Jay Perkins Duke Energy Analytical Laboratory Mail Code MGO3A2 (Building 7405) 13 339 Hagers Ferry Rd. Huntersville, NC 28078 Project: Belews Creek (Flex Fuel) - WW (LIMS #J12110243)

November 2 7 , 2012

1. Sample Reception Four (4 ) aqueous samples in125mL HDPE bottles (provided by Applied Speciation and Consulting) were submitted for selenium speciation analysis on November 15 , 2012. The samples were received on November 1 6 , 201 2 in a sealed container at -0. 1°C. The samples were received in a laminar flow clean hood, void of trace metals contamination and ultra-violet radiation, and were designated discrete sample identifiers. An aliquot of each sample was filtered (0.45μm) and each filtrate w as stored in a secure, monitored cryofreezer (maintained at a temperature of -80 o 

### C) until selenium speciation analysis could be performed via ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma dynamic reaction cell mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-DRC-MS).

2. Sample Preparation All sample preparation is performed in laminar flow clean hoods known to be free from trace metals contamination. All applied water for dilutions and sample preservatives are monitored for contamination to account for any biases associated with the sample results. Selenium Speciation Analysis by IC -ICP-DRC

- MS Prior to analysis, an aliquot of each sample was filtered with a syringe filter (0.45μm) and injected directly into an autosampler vial. No further sample preparation was performed as any chemical alteration of a sample may shift the equilibrium of the system, resulting in changes in speciation ratios.

3. Sample Analysis
Al l sample analysis is preceded by a minimum of a five-point calibration curve spanning the entire concentration range of interest. Calibration curves are performed at the beginning of

### each analytical day. All calibration curves, associated with each species of interest, are

standardized by linear regression resulting in a response factor. All sample results are instrument blank corrected to account for any operational biases associated with the analytical platform. Prior to sample analysis, all calibration curves are verified using second source standard s which are identified as initial calibration verification standards (ICV). Ongoing instrument performance is identified by the analysis of continuing calibration verification standards (CCV) and continuing calibration blanks (CCB) at a minimum interval of every ten analytical runs. Selenium Speciation Analysis by IC -ICP-DRC

- MS Eachsample for selenium speciation analysis w as analyzed by ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma dynamic reaction cel l mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-DRC-MS) on November 19 , 2012

. Analiquot of each sample is injected onto an anion exchange column and mobilized by a basic (pH > 7) gradient. The eluting selenium species are then introduced into a radio frequency (RF) plasma where energy-transfer processes cause desolvation, atomization, and ionization. The ions are extracted from the plasma through a differentially-pumped vacuum interface and travel through a pressurized chamber (DRC) containing a reaction gas which preferentially reacts with interfering ions of the same target mass to charge ratios (m/z). A solid-state detector detects ions transmitted through the mass analyzer and the resulting current is processed by a data handling system. Retention times for each eluting species are compared to known standards for species identification.

4. Analytical Issues The overall analyses went well and no significant analytical issues were encountered. The selenocyanate matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate sample recoveries (35.8% and 39.5%, respectively) were below the lower control limit of 75%. The spiking solution also contained selenite, and the spike recoveries for selenite (169.0% and 167.1%, respectively) were greater than the upper control limit of 125%. An acceptable mass balance of selenium species was obtained; the sum of species was calculated in each case yielding values of 103.6% and 104.6%. The apparent conversion of selenocyanate to selenite is indicative of an oxidizing matrix in the samples. Selenium species conversion was not observed in the bracketing continuing calibration verification standards (CCV), demonstrating adequate stability of selenium species within the analytical platform. No corrective actions were required. All other quality control parameters associated with the samples were within acceptance limits.

### The estimated method detection limits (eMDLs) for selenite, selenate, and selenocyanate are

generated from replicate analyses of the lowest standard in the calibration curve. Not all selenium species are present in preparation blanks; therefore, eMDL calculations based on preparation blanks are artificially biased low. The eMDL for methylseleninic acid and selenomethionine is calculated from the average eMDL of selenite, selenate, and selenocyanate. The calibration does not contain methylseleninic acid or selenomethionine due to impurities in these standards which would bias the results for other selenium species. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this report, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely,
