Box 1749 Cherokee, NC, 28719 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Dear Ms. Lambert: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 80 linear feet of perennial streams, including culverts and in-stream bank stabilization measures (rip-rap) in order to construct two road crossings at the proposed subdivision on the Jim Bowman property in Graham County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on July 8, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3404, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification:: .. 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 in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certificationx:and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland and/or stream fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre or 150 linear feet of perennial streams, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below: 1. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed; 2. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. 3. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that downstream profiles are not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly. ,-_� rya r� n n�c It lU t11 nw - Li ,y N.C.Division of Water Quality,401 Wetlands Certification Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,NC 27699-1650(Mailing Address) 2321 Crabtree Blvd.,Raleigh NC 27604-2260(Location) AUG 2 5 2003 U� (919)733-1786(phone),919-733-6893(fax),(htto://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands) Customer Service#: 1-877-623-6748 WATER OLIALITY SECTION The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods; If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 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, Mail Service Center 6714, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714.

The water component will serve 33 residences (28 low to moderate income) and eight other users. The 'sewer component will provide sewer service -to one low income household which is without any sewer system, on- site or otherwise. The Bryson Walk Project Area -is a loosely knit primarily residential area extending from Everett Street west to Lemons Branch Rd. The Project Area is served by an older cast iron water main which is well past its useful 50 year life span. Leaks are frequent and the western section of the project area suffers from inadequate water pressure and brown water complaints due to severe corroding in the lines. All households have adequate sewer service with the exception of one unit noted above. The water component of the Bryson Walk Infrastructure Project includes approximately 1, 600 L.F. of 8-inch water line, 6, 150 L.F. of 6-inch water line, fire hydrants, related appurtenances, and the service connections to the 28 low and moderate income households. The Town of Bryson City will provide the funds for the water connections for the five households which are above income limits and the eight other users, outside the scope of the proposed CDBG project. The water line travels across approximately 2, 000 L.F. of undevelopable property along Bryson Walk. The roadway through this area is bounded by' a rock cliff to the north and a steep bank above the Great Smoky Mountains railway to the South. See photos. The sewer component of the project includes a short section of upgraded 8-inch sanitary sewer line with one domestic service connection to the household at the eastern end of the Project Area which has no on-site septage system and is not served by the Town's sewer system.

Staff of the Division of Water Quality reviewed the ordinance for compliance under both the 1992 and 1995 versions of the Rules.The corrections recommended under the 1995 version of the rules are optional,and are noted as such in this letter.The other corrections listed below are not optional. Once the ordinance is amended and submitted to the Division of Water Quality,we will recommend approval of the ordinance by the Environmental Management Commission. In accordance with the Water Supply Watershed Protection Act(NCGS 143-214.5),the County has 120 days to correct and submit the ordinance to the Division of Water Quality. The deadline for submission is Friday,November 7.1997. The additional changes that are necessary in order for the ordinance to meet the minimum statewide requirements are as follows: 1. If desired,Section 103 (D) may be modified to read as follows,consistent with the 1995 Rules revisions: D. ardinanee, regardless of whether or itat a vested rigl-A has been estabhshed,ina�be developed fer*gle fawdly residential purposes witheut being subjeet to the restrietieng of these overlay . If a nonconforming_lot of record is not contiguous to any other lot owned by the same party then that lot of record shall not be subject to the development restrictions of this ordinance if it is developed for single-family residential purposes. 2.

All references in the ordinance to"sludge" should be changed to "residuals" to be consistent with statewide terminology. 3. Under the 1995 changes to the Rules the 5%/70%provision may now be increased to 10%/70%and it may be applied to all new development and expansions to existing development. If desired,amend Section 302(C) as appropriate using language from the Model Ordinance. Under the 1995 revisions, the 10%/70% provision is allowed in the WS-IV Protected Area when the high density option is not allowed. If desired, the County may amend Section 302(E) to include this change. If the County chooses to modify the ordinance to include the 10%/70%provision,submit the amount of land available (as of 7/1/93 for the WS-II-BW and WS-III-BW, and as of 7/1/95.for the WS-IV-PA) for development in the watershed areas where the 10%/ . 70% provision is allowed. 4. Correct the text in Section 302(E) as follows: "` S 1H P "to"WS-IV-PA". 5. Section 303(C)may be amended as follows,based on the 1995 Rules revisions: , Title of to the open space area shall be conveyed to-the an incon2orated homeowners association for management;to a local government for preservation as a park or open mace;or to a conservation organization for preservation in a permanent easement. Where a property association is not incorporated, a maintenance agreement shall be filed with the property deeds... 6. Section 304(B)may be amended as follows: "No new development is allowed in the buffer except that water dependent structures, other structures such as flagpoles signs and security lights which result in only diminutive increases in impervious area,and public works projects..." 7. In Section 501(F), change the following: The Watershed Administrator shall keep a record of variances ... and shall submit this record for each calendar year to the Division of Water Quality on or before January 1st. of the following year Management-and provide a description of each project receiving a variance and the reasons for granting the variance... In July, 1996, the Division of Environmental Management became the Division of Water Quality. All other references to the Division of Environmental Management and to the Supervisor of the Classification and Standards Group, Water Quality Section, should be changed. PF 7Mr. le E.

Enclosure ,AI F DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY 0 62 Wilmington District,. Corps of Engineers 2 O Post Office Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 Action ID No. 199600134 November 2, 1995 �Fs PUBLIC NOTICE USDA, FOREST SERVICE, RANDLE G. PHILLIPS, FOREST SUPERVISOR, POST OFFICE . BOX 2570, ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28802 has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO CREATE A SWIMMING AREA AT THE CHEOAH POINT RECREATION AREA IN LAKE SANTEETLAH APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES NORTHWEST OF Robbinsville, Graham County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the recontouring of an approximate 350-foot wide by 230-foot long area of the lake bottom. The recontouring will be done by bulldozer when the lake is drawn down. After the grading is completed, 450 cubic yards of soil from an upland borrow area will be used to build up an approximate 190-foot wide by 180-foot long beach area. The soil will be topped with 280 cubic yards of sand _averaging 8-12 inches in depth, to be contained on the upper beach area by marine grade timbers. Construction of a 5-foot wide by 50-foot long walkway leading to a 15-foot square handicapped accessible swimming platform will require the discharge of 30 cubic yards of gravel and concrete below the full pool elevation of the lake. The purpose of the work is to improve the swimming area to meet standards as part of an overall recreation area reconstruction/rehabilitation. 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 (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to,Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) . Any person may request, in writing within 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 site 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. -2- The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will 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 '_n 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 and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988) , 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 dred^ed 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. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and focal agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal.. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) . Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will not b made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the NCDEM for certification. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of -he Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) , Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. -3- 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 (NCDEM) , post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before November 24, 1995, Attention: Mr. John Dorney.

Enclosure �.4 RECEIVED 95-7 5(, - DEPARTMENT OF:THE ARMY JUL 2 4 1995 Wilmington District., Corps of Engineers FMRONME Post Office Box 1890 aTALSCIENCES Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 . Action ID No. . 199503418 July 20, 1995 JOINT PUBLIC NOTICE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY VAN H. BROWN, dba CAROLINA TROUT COMPANY, ROUTE 1, •BOX 15, CROSS CREEK COVE, ANDREWS, NORTH CAROLINA 28901 has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) approval TO INSTALL AND OPERATE A DEMONSTRATION FLOATING NET PEN STRUCTURE, FOR. THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF RAINBOW TROUT, AT THE 64 MILE MARK IN FONTANA LAKE NEAR Fontana Village, Graham County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant. Plans submitted with the application"show the installation of a 62-foot wide by 425-foot long floating facility approximately 520-feet north of the south shoreline. The unit will occupy 0.6 acre of lake surface. The structure would consist of styrofoam floats, wooden walkways, galvanized hardware and nylon nets anchored by cables connected to two 1,500 pound concrete blocks .at each end. The facility is to be equipped with markers, lighting, and equipment in accordance with Coast Guard standards to assure visibility and safe operation. Specific pathogen free fingerling trout will be transported from a nearby launching ramp to ,the net pens by a pontoon-barge haul boat. Feed will be brought to the net pen site by a workboat. Once the fish reach harvest size, they will be transported live or on ice to the processing plant. The facility will be.manned 24 hours a day for operational safety and security reasons. The applicant hopes to produce 500 tons of live product annually. The purpose of the demonstration is to procure data to accurately evaluate the economic potential and the environmental impact of large scale commercial trout production in TVA Reservoirs. Two other similar demonstration projects are proposed by the applicant in Appalachia and Hiwassee Lakes, however these facilities do not require DA authorization since the reservoirs are not considered navigable pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. 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. The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) is processing a request for a NPDES permit. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) approval will be.,.required for the facilities under Section 26a of the TVA Act. This application is being considered pursuant to' Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) . Any person may request, " in, writing within 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, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The Corps of Engineers decision as to 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 and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988) , 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. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) . 'Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, -Attention: David Baker or Robert Johnson, until 4:15 p.m. , August 18, 1995, or telephone (704) 271-4854 . It is not necessary to comment separately to TVA since copies of all comments will be sent to that agency and will become part of its record on the proposal. However, if comments are sent to TVA, they should be mailed to TVA, Attention: Linda Oxendine (WTBC) , 400 West Summit Hill Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902, or telephone (615) 632-3440. 9A N NM� 9Z41 i W-1 le. ?lW t --vt WN. ki 7 1 ir 110, jjx 017 �- �--� --_.... .

Tapoco Division 300 North Hall Road Alcoa, Tennessee 37701-2516 Subject: Proposed Shoreline Development Santeetlah Landing Community Santeetlah Reservoir Graham County Dear Ms. Fugate, I have reviewed the information enclosed in your letter, dated October 17, 2002. All lake shore impacts to FERC regulated lakes in the State of North Carolina require approval of the reservoir management agency, in this case Alcoa Power Generating Inc., a Section 404 Permit from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water Quality (DWQ). In this case I recommend the applicant contact the Asheville Regulatory Field Office of the USACE at (828) 271-7980, for more information on USACE Section 404 Permits. I have enclosed a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form that will be required for 404 Permitting. Once a 404 Permit has been issued and approval from Alcoa has been obtained then application should be made to DWQ for 401 Water Quality Certification, both will be required prior to 401 Certification. I have enclosed an abbreviated application form for those applying for 401 Water Quality Certification, for those that receive a USACE.Section 404 General Permit (GP) 30. Should the USACE require an individual permit, rather than the GP30, the PCN Application Form may be used for applying for the 401 Water Quality Certification, as well.

Moseley Cherokee Realty Post Office Box 36 Robbinsville, North Carolina 28771 Subject: Review of 401 Certification Application The Landings at Lake Santeetlah DWQ Project No. 03-0041 Graham County Dear Mr. Moseley: As Mr. Larry Frost and 1 discussed with you by telephone on February 25, 2002, the Division of Water Quality cannot issue a 401 Certification for this project, because you do not own the property below the 1817 contour line in Lake Santeetlah. Also, according to the December 20, 2002 letter from Alcoa Power Generating, Inc. — Tapoco Division, their policy, in accordance with their Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license, is that they will not issue a permit for construction of retaining walls below the 1817 contour line. Also, as I explained during our site visit of February 18, 2003, at Lake Santeetlah, if the retaining wall is constructed above the ordinary high water mark of the lake (1817 contour line) and is not constructed in wetlands or streams, a 401 Water Quality Certification is not required. Therefore, we are placing this project on hold until you decide how you will proceed with your project. If you decide to withdraw your application, a letter requesting that you application be returned will be required. Until we receive additional information on how you plan to proceed, we are placing your project on hold for our processing purposes due to incomplete information, in accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0507 (h). If you have questions, please call Mr. Larry Frost or me at 828-251- 6208. Sincerely, Michael R.

Moseley p0 Box 36 Robbinsville,NC 28771 Re: proposed Ground Squirrel Development Dear Mr. Moseley_ This will serve to follow up on recent discussions we have had with you concerning the development plans and erosion control on the property you purchased at Ground Squirrel_ Qur representatives have completed remarking of approximately 2000 feet of the"1817 contour"(Tapoco datum) which, as you know,defines our property line in this area. The property line is part of the:Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's project No. 2169, and we are required under the terms of our license to protect the boundary and keep it clear of all encroachments. Alcoa power Generating Inc. —Tapoco Division's current policy is to pe=dt retaining walls outside of 1 817' contour of tine Reservoir. Tapoco recommends,where possible, installation of rip-rap or other more"natural" forms of erosion control over retaining walls as rip-rap provides wildlife access to the reservoirs. Developers on santeetlah Reservoir are required to consult with State and Federal resource agencies regarding the proposed development- Tapoco will rely on the comments ofthe reviewing agencies regarding necessary changes to the proposal. .After agency comments have been addressed, Tapoco will send an application to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for review and approval. We look forward to working with you on this proposal- Sincerely, Sue Fugate Property Coordinator 02/24/2003 15:52 9284798760 CHEROKEE REALTY PAGE 01 YJ CHEROKEE REALTY 1I.S.129 BY-PASS- P.O.BOX 36 ROMNSVILLE,NORTH CAROLINA 20111 (928)479.6441 FAX(820)479-6446 EMAIL:CBZR0XEF.@GkAH,AM.MAIN.NC.US FACSIMXLE COVER SHEET DATE: r Cf TO: COMPANY: �-- FROM: RE: NUMBER OR PAGES TRANSMITTED INCLUDING COVER PAGE: ' This message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is accessed and may contain information that is privileged,confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

It is issued to Alcoa Power Generating, Inc. —Tapoco Division ("the applicant") in Graham and Swain Counties pursuant to a revised application filed on the 19th day of February, 2003 with a revision dated March 18, 2003 (extension to October 20, 2003) to, among other things, retain the Santeetlah and Cheoah Dams on the Cheoah and the Little Tennessee Rivers. The application provides adequate assurance that the retention of fill material into the waters of the Cheoah and Little Tennessee Rivers in conjunction with retention and operation of theses dams and other project activities will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards, discharge guidelines and other applicable State laws. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described in the revised application. If you�hange your project, you must notify us and may be required to send us a new application for a new Certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below. The issuance of this Certification shall not exempt the applicant from complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (local, state and federal) which have jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable river buffer rules in 15A NCAC 2B .0200, erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and under the Division's General Permit NCGO10000, and any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A NCAC 2B .0200, 15A NCAC 211 .0500 and 15A NCAC 211 .1300. Conditions(s) of Certification: 1. The Applicant shall release aquatic base flows from Santeetlah Dam in the magnitude and for the duration described in Table 1. The Applicant shall determine the aquatic base flow for each month by calculating the average daily inflow(ADI) value for the preceding three months. The Applicant shall calculate the ADI using its recorded measures of daily change in reservoir elevation and total discharge (generation flows plus instream flow releases, high flow event releases and flood discharge flows). If the ADI is greater than the historic 25th percentile average flow for that month(Table 2), the Applicant shall release flows according to Tier A. If the ADI is less than or equal to the historic 25th percentile average flow for that month, the Applicant shall release flows according to Tier B. Each Friday, the Applicant shall project inflow for the next ten days,which is the "planning period." The water requirement for the planning period is the volumetric sum of base flows; high flow event releases, if any; flood discharge flows,.if any; Santeetlah Reservoir Operating Curve increase, if any; and generation. The water available for the planning period is the volumetric sum of storage above the Santeetlah Reservoir Operating Curve and the planning period projected inflow. During normal operations, generation will be adjusted to maintain Santeetlah reservoir elevations at or above the Santeetlah Reservoir Operation Curve. Except as necessary to meet other requirement of this Certification, such as aquatic base flows and the Santeetlah Reservoir Operating Curve, generation is not restricted for normal operations. In order to allow state and federal agencies to complete the collection of three full years of baseline data in the Cheoah River below Santeetlah Dam, subject to the determination of the .Federal Energy Regulatory Commission("FERC") in issuing a new license for P-2169, the Applicant shall release aquatic base flows starting September 1, 2005 or starting in the month after the effective date of the License, whichever is later.

The Applicant shall release high flows via the Tainter gates at Santeetlah Dam. The Applicant shall use the headwater elevation of Santeetlah Reservoir to determine the gate opening necessary to make the required high flow release from Santeetlah Dam. The Applicant shall use the downstream gage at Bearpen Gap during the initial system set up to confirm the required gate positions to make the flow releases; b. The Applicant shall schedule high flow events on weekend days (Saturday and Sunday); schedule three day events on Saturday, Sunday and Monday; C. The Applicant shall schedule the March event for the third weekend in March and the November event for the first weekend in November; d. The Applicant shall schedule one 3-day high flow event in April in years 1, 3, and 4 of the repeating sequence; e. The Applicant shall ramp high flow events at 2-inches per hour for.flows between the aquatic base flow and 100 cfs. The Applicant shall use the downstream gage at Bearpen Gap during the initial system set up to confirm the required gate positions and gate frequencies in order to ramp the high flow events; -3- i f. For 2-day events in February, the release duration is 4 hours for day 1; releases are targeted to begin at hour 11; g. For 1-, 2-, and 3-day events in March through November, the release duration is 8 hours for the day 1 high flow releases; releases on day 1 are targeted to begin at hour 8 in March, April, October, and November, and at hour 9 in May through September; h. For 2-day events in April through July, the release duration is also 8 hours for the day 2 high flow releases; releases on day 2 are scheduled to begin at hour 8 in April and at hour 9 in May, June, and July; i. For 2-day events in April through July, after the end of the 8 hours of high flow on day 1, the flow will be reduced to 500 cfs until the beginning hour of high flow on day 2; j. The Applicant shall schedule single day high flow events between September and November with a minimum of 10 days between events. k. The Applicant will provide 12 months prior notice to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI), and Graham`�County of the proposed schedule of high flow events. 3. The Applicant shall convene an annual planning meeting in early October of each year which shall include NCDENR,NCWRC, USFS,USFWS and EBCI. If NCDENR, NCWRC, USFS, USFWS and EBCI notify the Applicant prior to the annual meeting that they have determined by consensus that unanticipated circumstances have arisen that indicate that additional aquatic habitat enhancement would result from the reallocation of waste previously committed to the aquatic base flows and/or high flow event schedule as required in Conditions 1 and 2,then the Applicant shall discuss with these entities the reallocation of water for aquatic habitat enhancement purposes within the aquatic base flow regime and/or the high flow event schedule for the year. The Applicant shall cooperate with NCDENR,NCWRC,USFS,USFWS, and EBCI in implementing any requested water reallocation, with due consideration given to the following factors. a. Any reallocation requests shall be based on periodic (i.e. every several years)re- evaluations of aquatic conditions in the Cheoah River by the above-listed entities; b. Any requested reallocation shall be designed to minimize any additional lost generation (either in lost megawatts and/or lost value) and operating costs; C. Under no circumstances shall water allocated as part of the aquatic base flow regime be utilized for high flow events and vice versa; nor shall water from one year be reallocated to any other calendar year; -4- d. Any requested reallocation of water must be able to be accommodated with the gate structures in existence at that time; If agreement is reached on reallocation, the Applicant shall take all reasonable and necessary actions to implement the agreement on reallocation. The Applicant shall make a filing with FERC requesting the approval of the requested revised allocation of flows for that calendar year, and upon FERC approval will implement the revised aquatic base flow regime and/or high flow event schedule. 4. Starting in October 2010, in conjunction with the annual planning meeting required in Condition 3 above, the Applicant will consult with USFWS,USFS, NCWRC,NCDENR,EBCI and Graham County regarding the possibility of providing additional high flow events on a trial basis in addition to the high flow events contemplated in the repeating five year schedule included in Condition 2 above. If,NCDENR notifies the Applicant that they are in full concurrence that biological recovery in the Cheoah River has proceeded to a point that additional high flow events should be scheduled and evaluated on a trial basis, then the Applicant will consult with USFWS, USFS, NCWRC, NCDENR, EBCI and Graham County, to determine the specific number, magnitude and timing of such additional trial high flow events. `1 In the event that the Applicant and NCDENR agree on the provision of additional trial high flow events, then no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated start of the additional high flow events, the Applicant shall file for FERC approval a plan of the proposed revisions to the repeating five year schedule of high flow events. In conjunction with the subsequent annual planning meetings, the Applicant will consult with the USFWS, USFS,NCWRC,NCDENR, and EBCI in order to determine whether to terminate, continue, or modify the additional trial high flow events, or to recommend to FERC a permanent change in the repeating five year schedule of high flow events. The determination shall be based on USFWS, USFS,NCWRC,NCDENR, and EBCI's assessment of the effects of the additional trial high flow events on the Cheoah River aquatic and associated riparian biological communities, on water levels in Santeetlah Reservoir, and other water-quality related issues. The Applicant shall make additional filings, as appropriate, notifying FERC of any additional requested revisions to the repeating five year schedule of high flow events, and upon FERC approval will implement the revised high flow event schedule. 5. If inflow is not adequate to provide high flow releases and maintain required reservoir levels while maintaining instream flows, then equitable reductions in Santeetlah Reservoir water levels, and high flow releases to the Cheoah River will be made as follows. If the water available for the planning period (as defined in Condition 1) is less than the water requirement with no generation for the scheduling period the following low flow stages will be implemented. The low flow stage will remain in effect until the next planning period when the water requirement is compared to the water available. If the water available is less than the water -5- i requirement, the next stage will be implemented. I,the water available is greater than the water requirement the previous stage will be implemented or normal operations if at Stage 1. If the actual inflow is appreciably different than the projected inflow the Applicant may make adjustments to the low flow stage during the planning period. Stage l: Reduce high flow duration by 25% (2 hours for each day of the high,flow event). Elevation minimum decreased by 0.25 feet below.o�perating curve. Stage 2: Reduce high flow duration by 50% (4 hours for each day of the high flow event). Elevation minimum decreased by 0.50 feet below the operating curve. Stage 3: Reduce high flow duration by 100%. Elevation minimum decreased by 0.75 feet below the operating curve. Stage 4: Elevation minimum decreased by 1.0 feet!below operating curve. If continuous discharge is at Tier A reduce continuous discharge from Tier A to Tier B level. Stage 5: Continue releasing Tier B continuous disc harge1through spillway gates until elevation reaches bottom of the spillway gates (or valve). Stage 6: Reduce continuous discharge to inflow. Based on actual experience, the Applicant may consult.with state and federal agencies to modify the Low Inflow Protocol. If agreement is reached with NCDENR on modifying the protocol, the Applicant shall make a filing with FERC requesting approval of the proposed modification and upon FERC approval will implement the modified protocol 6. The Applicant shall continue funding the existing U.S. Geological Survey([JSGS) Bearpen Gap gage-(Station No. 0351706800) on the Cheoah River below Santeetlah Dam. Additionally, the Applicant shall install and maintain a calibrated staff gage, or the equivalent, at the Joyce Kilmer Bridge to allow for the visual confirmation of Cheoah Rivers flows. The Applicant shall also make available the calculated release to the Cheoah River at the Santeetlah dam on an hourly basis via the Internet. 7. Prior to the completion of the gate modifications required in Condition 8 below,the continuous base flow release shall consist of a flow, of approximately 50 cfs released through an _ existing Tainter gate at Santeetlah Dam. Prior to the completion of the Tainter gate automation required in Condition 8 below, high flow events shall be made with consideration of the following factors: a. Releases from November 1 through Marc hl 31 will be scheduled to occur during the regular work week (Monday through Friday) to minimize additional personnel costs associated with releases on weekends using the existing gates and related equipment; releases from April 1 through October 31 will occur on weekends; -6 b. Releases will be initiated using the "Year 1" release schedule in Table 3 and subsequent years will use "Year 2", "Year 3" etc.; c. Ramping rates will not apply; d. The Applicant shall make reasonable effort to provide the high flow events according to the high flow event schedule in Table 3, however some variation in terms of actual timing of events may occur during this interim period until the gate modifications are complete. 8. To accommodate release of the aquatic base flow and high flow events, the Applicant shall add "piggy-back" gates to, and automate, either two or three of the existing Tainter gates on Santeetlah Dam within 24 months of the effective date of the new license. The Applicant may deviate from the Santeetlah Operating Curve, the aquatic base and high flow releases during the winter drawdown period to allow for construction in the field of the modified Tainter gates. Within 90 days of the effective date of the new license, the Applicant shall file, for approval by FERC, a plan and schedule for modifying the Tainter gates. 9. The Applicant shall operate Santeetlah Reservoir`according to the following operating rules except when operating under the Low Inflow Protod9l (Condition 5): a. From January 1 to March 1, the elevation of Santeetlah Reservoir shall not drop below elevation 1931 ft. b.

I have reviewed the information enclosed in your letter, dated July 14, 2003 regarding the expansion of Blue Boar Inns dock facilities. If additional pilings.are to be installed, the US Army Corp of Engineers would be the lead agency and will need to be contacted at (828)-271-7980 for guidance on their requirements. From the information you provided I see no intent for shoreline modification at the docks location. If your expansion will include shoreline modifications we will need to review the proposed changes.

Such a modification would allow dockage not only for guest watercraft but also for dock rental space for watercraft of area residents. Under the current license,Blue Boar Inc.has permission to maintain a floating dock facility that includes a six-foot by ninety-two foot floating dock with an attached twelve foot by twenty-four foot dock section. The actual dock measurements would not change. There will be no further construction or expansion of dock other than what is already permitted. Our dock is located in an area that Alcoa Power Generating,Inc. has already designated Lake Access Area and the U. S. Forest Service has permitted for public boat launching. We are not aware of any potential resource impacts as a result allowing for additional watercraft to dock on an already permitted and existing structure. We will be using the same means to tie off more watercraft. Enclosed is: A copy of our current dock license valid through December 31, 2005 Location maps and brochure of the Blue Boar Inn A drawing of the proposed dock layout with topographical information and showing the location of five of potentially nine boats to be docked Photos of the dock area. Please advise if any further information or clarification is needed to proceed with an evaluation of our request. Thank you.

Box 916 -D o IM Robbinsville, NC 28771 m z RE: Cabe Property - Graham County On December 9, 2004, personnel of this office inspected property adjacent to East Buffalo Creek Road in Graham County, North Carolina. This inspection was performed to determine compliance with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973. The inspection revealed a land-disturbing activity of approximately 4+ acres being conducted. It is our understanding that you and/or your firm are responsible for this land-disturbing activity. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that this activity was found to be in violation of the Act, NCGS §1 13A-50 to 66, and Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 4. If you feel that you are not responsible for the following violations, please notify this office immediately. The violations that were found are: Failure to file an acceptable erosion and sedimentation control plan with this office at least 30 days prior to beginning a land-disturbing activity on a tract comprising more than one acre; failure to secure this office's prior approval of the plan for any land-disturbing prior to beginning the land-disturbing activity. and NCGS §1 13A- 54(d)(4), NCGS §1 13A-57(4) and 15A NCAC 4B.0107(c). An erosion control plan for the project has not been submitted to this office. An acceptable erosion and sedimentation control plan must be filed with and approved by this office and implemented on the site sufficient to prevent offsite sedimentation. Pending approval of the plan, temporary measures must be provided immediately to control erosion and prevent sedimentation damage. Any additional land-disturbing activities conducted without an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will constitute additional violations of the Act. We will notify you following our review of the plan if additional measures are required. NorthCarolina Nahirally 2090 U.S.Hwy 70,Swannanoa, NC 28778 Telephone 828/296-4500 Fax 8281299-7043 Internet: www.enr.state.nc.us/ENR An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer-50% recycled/10% post-consumer paper Failure on a tract of more than one acre, when more than one acre is uncovered, to install sedimentation and erosion control devices sufficient to retain the sediment generated by the land-disturbing activity within the boundaries of the tract during construction upon and development of the tract. NCGS §1 13A-57(3). No sedimentation and erosion control devices or structures have been installed to retain sediment within the boundaries of the tract under development. Failure to take all reasonable measures to protect all public and private property from damage by such land- disturbing activities. 15A NCAC 413.0105. Offsite damage has occurred due to sediment washing onto property owned by others. To correct these violations, you must prepare and submit for approval an erosion control plan for the site and fully implement that plan upon its approval. In the interim pending approval of the plan, you must immediately provide measures on site sufficient to protect adjacent property and watercourses as there is potential for damage to occur before a plan can be prepared, reviewed, and implemented. Please note that merely planting grass seed does not satisfy the requirements of"vegetative cover" or of"ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion." These requirements are not satisfied until a standing cover of grass or other ground cover(such as properly applied and secured mulched seeding or appropriate rip-rap) is established which is, in fact, sufficient to restrain accelerated or man-made erosion. If the violations described in this Notice are not corrected on or before December 23, 2004 for installation of measures and January 10, 2005 for receipt of the Erosion Control Plan,the Division of Land Resources may take additional appropriate legal action against you pursuant to NCGS § 1 13A-64. That action could be the assessment of additional civil penalties and may result in the initiation of other remedies as prescribed by the Act. If additional civil penalties are assessed for the violations, the amount may be up to $5,000.00 per day for each day of the violation pursuant to NCGS §1 13A-64(a)(1). If all violations are corrected within the time period specified for compliance, additional civil penalties or legal remedies will not be pursued. Any new land-disturbing activity associated with this project should not begin until the area presently disturbed is brought into compliance with the Act. When corrective actions are complete, you should notify this office so that the work can be inspected. You should not assume that the site is in compliance with the Act until we have so notified you. In addition,once compliance has been achieved,all installed measures must be satisfactorily maintained until development is complete and the site is fully stabilized to avoid further violations of the Act. We solicit your cooperation, and would like to avoid taking further enforcement action. At the same time, it is your responsibility to understand and comply with the requirements of the Act. Copies of the relevant statute and administrative regulations may be examined at this office or will be sent to you upon request. Should you have questions concerning this Notice or the requirements of the Act, please contact either Mr. Wayne Watkins or myself at 828-296-4500.

The inspection revealed a land-disturbing activity of approximately 2+ acres being conducted. It is our understanding that you and/or your firm are responsible for this land-disturbing activity. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that this activity was found to be in violation of the Act, NCGS §1 13A-50 to 66, and Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 4. If you feel that you are not responsible for the following violations, please notify this office immediately. The violations that were found are: Failure to file an acceptable erosion and sedimentation control plan with this office at least 30 days prior to beginning a land-disturbing activity on a tract comprising'more than one acre; failure to secure this office's prior approval of the plan for any land-disturbing prior to beginning the land-disturbing activity. and NCGS §1 13A- 54(d)(4), NCGS §1 13A-57(4) and 15A NCAC 413.0107(c). An erosion control plan for the project has not . been submitted to this office. An acceptable erosion and sedimentation control plan must be filed with and approved by this office and implemented on the site sufficient to prevent offsite.sedimentation. Pending approval of the plan, temporary measures must be provided immediately to control erosion and prevent sedimentation damage.

You must restore the area disturbed in the (25') trout stream buffer to original contours and vegetative condition. A restoration plan for review and approval must be provided to the Asheville Regional Office. Please note,that merely planting grass seed does not satisfy the requirements of"vegetative cover" or of"ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion." These requirements are not satisfied until a standing cover of grass or other ground cover(such as properly applied and secured mulched seeding or appropriate rip-rap) is established which is, in fact, sufficient to restrain accelerated or man-made erosion. An initial one-day civil penalty could be an assessment of up to $5,000.00. A time period for compliance is not required for this initial one-day civil penalty pursuant to NCGS 1 13A-61.1(c) and NCGS 1 13A064(a)(1).

Carson Fisher, P.E., Regional Engineer NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS OF THE 'SEDIMENTATION POLLUTION CONTROL ACT August 5, 2004 CERTIFIED-MAIL - 7004-0750-0000-2590-0999 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Eugene McRoberts P.O. Box 489 Ruskin, FL 33570 McRoberts Site - Graham County On August 8, 2004, personnel of this office inspected property located adjacent to Highway 28 in Graham County, North Carolina. This inspection was performed to determine compliance with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973. The inspection revealed a land-disturbing activity of approximately 1 + acres being conducted. It is our understanding that you and/or your firm are responsible for this land-disturbing activity. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that this activity was found to be in violation"of the Act, NCGS §1 13A-50 to 66, and Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 4. If you feel that you are not responsible for the following violations, please notify this office immediately. The violations that were found are: Failure to file an acceptable erosion and sedimentation control plan with this office at least 30 days prior to beginning a land-disturbing activity on a tract comprising more than one acre; failure to secure this office's prior approval of the plan for any land-disturbing prior to beginning the land-disturbing activity. and NCGS §1 13A- 54(d)(4),NCGS §1 13A-57(4) and 15A NCAC 4B.0107(c). An erosion control plan for the project has not been submitted to this office. An acceptable erosion and sedimentation control plan must be filed with and approved by this office and implemented on the site sufficient to prevent offsite sedimentation. Pending approval of the plan, temporary measures must be provided immediately to control erosion and prevent sedimentation damage. Any additional land-disturbing activities conducted without an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will constitute additional violations of the Act. We will notify you following our review of the plan if additional measures are required. .

NCGS §113A-57(2). No ground cover or erosion control devices have been provided to restrain erosion on the site. To correct these violations, you must prepare and submit for approval an erosion control plan for the site and fully implement that plan upon its approval. In the interim pending approval of the plan,you must immediately provide measures on site sufficient to protect adjacent property and watercourses as there is potential for damage to occur before a plan can be prepared, reviewed, and implemented. Please note that merely planting grass seed does not satisfy the requirements of"vegetative cover"or of"ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion." These requirements are not satisfied until a standing cover of grass or other ground cover(such as properly applied and secured mulched seeding or appropriate rip-rap) is established which is, in fact, sufficient to restrain accelerated or man-made erosion. If the violations described in this Notice are not corrected on or before September 8, 2004, the Division of Land Resources may take additional appropriate legal action against you pursuant to NCGS § 113A-64. That action could be the assessment of additional civil penalties and may result in the initiation of other remedies as prescribed by the Act. If additional civil penalties are assessed for the violations, the amount may be up to $5,000.00 per day for each day of the violation pursuant to NCGS §113A-64(a)(1). If all violations are corrected within the time period specified for compliance, additional civil penalties or legal remedies will not be pursued. Any new land-disturbing activity associated with this project should not begin until the area presently disturbed is brought into compliance with the Act. When corrective actions are complete, you should notify this office so that the work can be inspected. You should not assume that the site is in compliance with the Act until we have so notified you. In addition,once compliance has been achieved,all installed measures must be satisfactorily maintained until development is complete and the site is fully stabilized to avoid further violations of the Act. We solicit your cooperation, and would like to avoid taking further enforcement action. At the same time, it is your responsibility to understand and comply with the requirements of the Act. Copies of the relevant statute and administrative regulations may be examined at this office or will be sent to you upon request. Should you have questions concerning this Notice or the requirements of the Act, please contact either Mr. Wayne Watkins or myself at 828-296-4500. Sincerely, . Carson Fisher P.E.
