Shoreline stabilization, 344 Wilderness Trail -Lake Glenville
Jackson Cuunty
Dear Mrs. Miller and Mr. Ba:nctt:
John and Sue Gouse requested a 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. I reviewed the
application and am familiar with the project area. Comments from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (Commission) are provided under provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466
et seq.j and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d},
The applicant proposes placement ofrip rap on about 125 feet of Lakc Glenville shoreline at 344
Wi ldemess 'Frail.
the project will not harm trout.
T11e Commission is concerned about the adverse effects of some shoreline stabilization on aquatic and
:akeshore habitats. Therefore, the permit should be conditioned as follows to help conserve resources:
1. The project must address an active and appreciable shoreline erosion problem; relatively stable
shoreline areas should not be altered.
2. The proposed project must comply with Duke Energy's Shoreline Management Guidelines and
receive approval from Duke Energy Lake Management.
3. If practical, the stabilization work should be completed ir. a dy work area while the lake is drawn-
down.
4. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be used to minimize the loss of disturbed
soils into the lake. "temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be panted on all bare soil
within fifteen. (15) days of ground disturbance.

5. Excavation of the lakebed is not authorized except for the explicit purpose of placing and anchoring
the rock in the lakebed. This permit dues not authorize disturbance of the shoreline or the lakebed
outside ol'the stabilization limits for access or staging of materials.
6. An r lar a wo, odv dehris in the lakebed and in the na+h of the stabilisation should remain or be
r lacN ~d sccu_Tcd to the snoretrne at the co letion of the r
within the lakebed should not be removed. ~ p eet. Stumps, rocks or woody debris
7. Filter fabric should be installed behind the rock to minimize wash-out.
8. The rock used shoul;i be large quarry (class 1T or Iargerj ur simiIar angular stone that is free of
sediment and other contaminants.
9. If a vertical wall is part of the,stabilization, additional rock should be placed at the base or toe of the
lakeward side of the wall to prevent undercutting and to enhance fish habitat.
10. The spaces between the racks should not be filled with concrete or other types of grout, but should be
left open to allow native plants to grow and to provide cover for fish and wildlife. Uncured concrete
is toxic to fish and other aquaric life and is not authorized by this permit.
11. If temporary access across the shoreline buffer is granted, the vegetation should be cut oti at the
ground and the stumps and roots left intact to sprout or the arcs should be replanted with native
vegetation. Areas altmg the shoreline without woody vegetation or where ii must be removed for the
project s}rould be platlted with native trees (e.g., hemlock, *ulip poplar, and sycamore) and shrubs
(e.g., silky dogwood, rhododendron, mountain laurel or dog hobble).
12. The height of rock stabilization should typically be no more than a few inches above the normal pool
elevation. However, a greater height maybe acceptable, as determined by a Uuke Energy
representative, if the erosion extends above the normal pool elevation. in these cases, backfrlling
should be minimized (e.g. rock placed as close to eroded shore~ine as possible j and mimic the nariuai
shoreline slope, If a stacked wall is used, the rock should beset slightly Iakeward to minimize
disturbance of vegetation on the bank. Voids around trees with exposed roots should be backfiIled
with soil.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Pending availability of field staff,
the Commission may inspect the work site during or after construction. If there are any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 828/452-2546 extension 24.
