Jackson County, North Carolina p 0t Ilk ? JAN 3 2008 Dear Mr. Dorney: DENR.. NAHk IlUALUrt WETLANDS AND STORM9MA7 Ek IJR, -CH By a letter dated December 16, 2005 Duke Energy Carolinas. LLC (Duke) tiled a 401 Water Quality Certification (401 WQC) application with the North Carolina Division of Water Qualitv (NCDWQ) for the East Fork Protect. Duke requested that NCDWQ place a hold on processing the 401 WQC application for the East Fork Project until the final disposition of the Dillsboro Hydroelectric Project No. 2602 is resolved with both the NCDWQ and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The license surrender application for the Dillsboro Project was filed with FERC on May 28, 2004. By letter dated December 12, 2006, Duke requested that NCDWQ use the data contained in the application submitted with the December 16, 2005 letter for processing the new 401 WQC application to NCDWQ for the East Fork Project. Since the one-year timeframe that FERC allows states to process 401 WQC applications expires on December 12, 2007 for the East Fork Project, Duke hereby withdraws the previous 401 WQC application letter that was filed and stamped received with NCDWQ www. duke-energy. corn on December 13, 2006 and is simultaneously requesting that NCDWQ use the data contained in the application submitted with the December 16, 2005 letter to NCDWQ for processing the new 401 WOC application for the East Fork Project. Enclosed is the application fee of $475 for the East Fork Project. At this time, Duke is also requesting that the NCDWQ place a hold on the processing of the East Fork Project 401 WQC application. Duke is requesting this hold because final disposition of the Dillsboro Project is an important consideration in the Tuckasegee Cooperative Stakeholder Team Settlement Agreement (which also addresses the East Fork Project) and regulatory approvals related to the Dillsboro Project are not fully resolved, including (1) the FERC has not yet responded to Duke's requested rehearing of the FERC's order dated July 19, 2007 that approved the license surrender and removal of the Dillsboro Project and (2) Duke is still considering if it will accept the 401 WQC that NCDWQ issued in November 2007 for the Dillsboro Project. If there are any questions, please call me at 704-382-5942 or Ed Brice at 704-382-5239. Sincerely, Jeffrey G. Lineberger, P.E.
