6 PRESQUE ISLE POWER PLANT ASH LANDFILL NO ANNUAL GROUNDWATER MONITORING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION REPORT INTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 OVERVIEW This report has been prepared on behalf of We Energies by O Brien & Gere Engineers, Inc. (OBG), to provide the information required by Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) Part (e) for the Presque Isle Power Plant (PIPP) Landfill No. 3 located near Marquette, Michigan. In accordance with 40 CFR (e), the owner or operator of an existing coal combustion residual (CCR) unit must prepare an annual groundwater monitoring and corrective action report (Annual Report) for the preceding calendar year. The Annual Report must document the status of the groundwater monitoring and corrective action program for the CCR unit and summarize key actions completed, describe any problems encountered, discuss actions to resolve the problems, and project key activities for the upcoming year. At a minimum, the Annual Report must contain the following information, to the extent available: (1) A map, aerial image, or diagram showing the CCR unit and all background (or upgradient) and downgradient monitoring wells, to include the well identification numbers, that are part of the groundwater monitoring program for the CCR unit; (2) Identification of any monitoring wells that were installed or decommissioned during the preceding year, along with a narrative description of why those actions were taken; (3) In addition to all the monitoring data obtained under 40 CFR through , a summary including the number of groundwater samples that were collected for analysis for each background and downgradient well, the dates the samples were collected, and whether the sample was required by the detection monitoring or assessment monitoring programs; (4) A narrative discussion of any transition between monitoring programs (e.g., the date and circumstances for transitioning from detection monitoring to assessment monitoring in addition to identifying the constituent(s) detected at a statistically significant increase over background levels); and (5) Other information required to be included in the annual report as specified in 40 CFR through This report provides the required information for the PIPP Ash Landfill No. 3 for calendar year MONITORING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PROGRAM STATUS The final three independent samples of the minimum eight required by 40 CFR (b) were collected and analyzed from each background and downgradient well before October 17, The other five independent samples were collected and analyzed in 2015 and The collection of eight independent background samples was completed by October 17, The first semiannual monitoring sample for the Detection Monitoring Program for Appendix III parameters was collected on November 8, 2017 from each well; the analytical data was received on December 4, Determination of statistically significant increases (SSI) of Appendix III parameters over background concentrations will be completed within 90 days of completing the sample analysis, but not later than January 15, For calendar year 2017, corrective action and other information required to be included in the annual report as specified in 40CFR through is not applicable.

7 2 KEY ACTIONS COMPLETED IN SUMMARY PRESQUE ISLE POWER PLANT ASH LANDFILL NO ANNUAL GROUNDWATER MONITORING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION REPORT KEY ACTIONS COMPLETED Three groundwater sampling events were completed in 2017 as part of an effort initiated in 2015 to collect eight independent samples from background and downgradient monitoring wells in accordance with 40 CFR (b). Subsequent to collection of the eight independent samples, an additional sampling event was completed in November 2017 for parameters listed in Appendix III, 40 CFR Part 257, to supplement the background data set and as the first semi-annual monitoring sampling event for the Detection Monitoring Program. A map showing the groundwater monitoring system, including the CCR unit and all background (upgradient) and downgradient monitoring wells with well identification numbers, for the PIPP Ash Landfill No. 3 is presented in Figure 1. No monitoring wells were installed or decommissioned from the monitoring system in Samples were collected and analyzed in accordance with the Sampling and Analysis Plan (Natural Resource Technology, Inc., 2015) prepared for the PIPP Ash Landfill No. 3. All monitoring data obtained under 40 CFR through (as applicable) in 2017, as well as monitoring data for the previously collected five independent samples are presented in Tables 1 and 2. Sample collection dates in 2017 were February 14, May 4, August 8, and November 8. Sample collection dates for previously collected five independent samples are identified in Tables 1 and 2. One ground water sample was collected from each background and downgradient well in each sampling event. During the November 2, 2016 sampling event at upgradient monitoring well MW87, sample bottles for the analysis of total Chloride, Fluoride, and Sulfate were misplaced during transport to the analytical laboratory. MW87 was sampled again on November 10, 2016 to obtain samples for total Chloride, Fluoride, and Sulfate analyses. MW87 did not have a sufficient quantity of groundwater to facilitate sampling and analysis of all the required Appendix III and Appendix IV parameters during the February 14, 2017 sampling event. A sample and analysis result for Radium 226 and 228 was not obtained. Statistical evaluation of analytical data from the eight independent samples required to be collected by October 17, 2017 and the first semi-annual detection monitoring event on November 8, 2017 was initiated and will be completed within 90 days of October 17, 2017 (January 15, 2018). Statistical evaluation of analytical data is being performed in accordance with the Statistical Analysis Plan, PIPP Landfill No. 3 (Natural Resource Technology, an OBG Company, 2017). 2.2 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND ACTIONS TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS No problems were encountered with the groundwater monitoring program during Groundwater samples were collected and analyzed in accordance with the Sampling and Analysis Plan, and all data was accepted.

8 3 KEY ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR SUMMARY The following key activities are planned for 2018: PRESQUE ISLE POWER PLANT ASH LANDFILL NO ANNUAL GROUNDWATER MONITORING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION REPORT KEY ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR 2018 Continuation of the Detection Monitoring Program with semi-annual sampling scheduled for the 2 nd and 4 th quarters of Complete evaluation of analytical data from the downgradient wells, using both the eight samples required to be collected by October 17, 2017 and the first semi-annual detection monitoring sample taken in November 2017 to determine whether a SSI of Appendix III parameters over background concentrations has occurred. If an SSI is identified, potential alternate sources (i.e., a source other than the CCR unit caused the SSI or that that SSI resulted from error in sampling, analysis, statistical evaluation, or natural variation in groundwater quality) will be evaluated. If an alternate source is demonstrated to be the cause of the SSI, a written demonstration will be completed within 90 days of SSI detection and included in the annual groundwater monitoring and corrective action report for 2018.» If an alternate source(s) is not identified to be the cause of the SSI, the applicable requirements of 40 CFR through (e.g., assessment monitoring) will apply in 2018, including associated recordkeeping/notifications required by 40 CFR through OBG JANUARY 31, 2018 FINAL 3 OF 4 PIPP Ash Landfill No Annual Report FINAL docx
