Re: Request for Information Docket Numbers P-2601-007, 2619-012, and 2603-012
Dear Secretary Bose:
This letter is in response to your letter of June 23, 2010 to Steve Jester concerning recently
issued 401 Water Quality Certifications (WQC) for the Bryson (P-2601-007), Franklin (P-2603-
012), and Mission (P-2619-012) Hydro Projects.
Duke submitted Addendum 1 (Lake Level and Flow Management Plans) and Addendum 2
(Sediment Study Plan) to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) each under
separate cover letters dated May 26, 2010. Subsequently, after discussions with resource
agencies, Addendum 3 (Revised Sediment Study Plan) was submitted to NCDWQ under cover
letter dated May 27, 2010. Addendum 3 superseded and replaced Addendum 2 in its entirety.
The cover letter to Addendum 3 makes clear that it supersedes Addendum 2, but this would not
necessarily be clear if the addenda were reviewed independently, apart from their cover letters.
All these documents were submitted electronically to NCDWQ on these respective dates and
hard copies were delivered to NCDWQ offices on May 28, 2010.
Although the FERC staff was included in the carbon copy list of all submittals to NCDWQ,
Duke neglected to a-file these documents with the FERC. Therefore, Duke is now providing the
FERC with Addenda 1, 2, and 3, along with their cover letters. We apologize for this oversight.
If you have questions please contact Steve Johnson at 704-382-4240 or steve.'ohnson duke-
energv.com.
Duke is continuing to work closely with the NCDWQ staff to clarify the WQCs for the
Nantahala Area Hydro Projects. We will keep you fully informed of our progress so that any
additional information or modifications may be included in the record for these projects.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey G. Lineberger, P.E.
