We have begun and are currently in the final stages of developing the 90
percent design plan for submission to the NC Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ).

The barrier wall is an integral part of our plan, and it will allow us to better capture the
groundwater so it can be treated before it is released in the river.

Snow
Over one mile long and an average of six stories deep, the wall is designed so underground water can be captured. The captured water will be treated to remove chemical compounds with a minimum efficiency of 99%.

As civil work continues in preparation of the barrier wall construction, we
will continue to update you as we make progress on the planning and
future construction stages.
