Dear Mr. Mills:

Enclosed is the application of Duke Power Company for a
Department of the Army permit and a State Water Quality
Certification to place riprap material in Lake James in
conjunction with stabilization of the upstream slope of the
hydro-electric station dam at Glen Alpine in Burke and McDowell
Counties, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies
your acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance
with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorization of the proposed activity
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have
determined that a water quality certification may be required
under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department
of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has
been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is considered a
reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if your office has
not acted on the request by May 2, 1989, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to David Baker at our
Asheville Regulatory office at 704-259-0856.

CESAW-CO-89-N-101-0218 March 2, 1989
PUBLIC NOTICE
DUKE POWER COMPANY, POST OFFICE BOX 33189, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
28242, has applied for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL
BELOW THE FULL POND ELEVATION OF LAKE JAMES TO STABILIZE THE UPSTREAM FACE OF
THE BRIDGEWATER HYDRO STATION CATAWBA DAM NEAR GLEN ALPINE, BURKE AND MCDOWELL
COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the placement of approximately 9,500 cubic yards of riprap
along 2,700 linear feet of the dam. The riprap will be placed below the full
pond elevation (1,200 feet) by crane on a 3:1 slope. The riprap will average
30 foot in width and 10 foot in depth. The purpose of the work is to
stabilize the upstream slope of the dam to prevent scouring. Plans showing
the work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
The requested Department of the Army permit will be denied if any required
State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No Department of
the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received
and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to
furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies
directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of
Engineers.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within

-06 t
-2-
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity willinot affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the,cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the

-3-
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serve as application to the DEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
March 27, 1989.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before April 20, 1989 , Attention:
Mr. William Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above,
will be received in this office, Attention: David Baker, until 4:15 p.m.,
March 31, 1989, or telephone [phone].
