Attached is the letter permit issued by the Coy ps of Engineem which will allow US to dredge more thou
1,000 cu. ads at the Marshall Plant to restore operatioens. As I indicated on the phone, once the water
levels in the French Broad began droppiMg, the plant people realized that 1,000 yards was not sufficient to
cleat the intake area. David Baker of the Corps visited the site prior to the C'orps' issuing this permit.
Matemal will be handled the s:une way as described before: Dredged using a dragline, and trucked to the
Madison County Iandhll where it will be used as cover material at the landfill.
We'd appreciate your concurrence on this permit.

You have our approval to dredge 1000 cubic yards of sand for the purpose of intake
clean out at Marshall Hydro Plant, as you described in your application dated 22 August
1994. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 2676. This certification allows you to use
General Permit Number 277 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your
application. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to
send us a new application. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or
local permits before you go ahead with your project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an
adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 30 days of the date that you receive this letter.
To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box
27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and
binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Management under
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John
Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
A. reston ard, P.E.

Subject: Maintenance Dredging at Carolina Power & Light Company's Marshall Plant
Dear Mr. Dorney:
The intake area of Carolina Power & Light Company's Marshall Hydroelectric Plant, located on the
French Broad River below Marshall, NC, has become clogged with sand deposited above the dam during
recent heavy rains. We are requesting concurrence from the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM) for CP&L to immediately begin dredging the river adjacent to the plant intake to remove
sufficient quantities of sand to allow the plant to resume operation. CP&L understands that dredging of
up to 1,000 cuhic yards of material is authorized under Corps of Engineers GeDeral Permit No.
198200277, and is also approved by the DEM under Water Quality Certification No. '076, subject to
CP&L making written notification to DEM. 'T'his letter serves as that notification. 6,_ ruse the project
is located in one of the 25 mountain counties containing trout water, CP&L notified Ms. Stephanie
Goudreau of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission by telephone on August 25, 1994. CP&L described
the project to Ms. Goudreau, and she verbally approved the dredging operation.
CP&L intends to remove the accumulated material from the area shown in the attached sketches of the
plant, probably using a clamshell, and dispose of the material in an upland area. CP&L has received
approval from Madison County to dispose of the material in the county landfill, where it will be used as
fill material. This method was approved by Mr. Jim Patterson in the Asheville Regional Office.
We would appreciate your reviem of this request.
Very truly yours,
V??. u?
