SUBJECT: Permit Modification Request
CAMA Major permit No. 293
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Intake Canal, Southport, Brunswick. County
Mr. Edward Wills,. Jr, Plant General Manager of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), has submitted
a request to modify. State Permit No. 293. State Permit No. 293 was issued to the Brunswick Steam Electric
Plant on August 23; 1982 as a State Dredge and Fill Permit for the construction of a fish diversion structure.
The permit has been continuously renewed for nriaintenance purposes. Due to the extension granted by
Session Law 2009-406, I believe the current Permit renewal will expire on December 31, 2014.
Mr. Wills is requesting that the permit be modified to allow the. installation of approximately 10,000 square
feet of riprap to stabilize the interior of the fish diversion structure. Approximately 23,000 cubic feet (or
approximately 852 cubic yards) of either class 1 riprap or articulating concrete block and #357 stone would be
used.
The applicant has submitted a check (ck. # 5188) in the amount of $100.00 for the modification request.
Should the work be determined to be consistent with DWQ and USAGE regulations and DMF not have any
resource concerns regarding the project, this office has no objection to the permit modification request, if
subject to the following conditions:

Am(rdIllk
1. No vegetated wetlands/marsh grass will be excavated or filled.
2. The riprap material must be free from loose dirt or any pollutant- It must be of a size sufficient to
prevent its movement from the site by wave or current action.
3. The riprap material must consist of clean rock or masonry materials such as but not limited to granite
or broken concrete.
4. In order to protect water quality, runoff from construction must not visibly increase the amount of
suspended sediments in adjacent waters.
5. This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any additional state, federal or local permits,
approvals or authorizations that may be required.
b. All conditions and stipulations of the active permit remain in force under this minor modification
unless specifically altered herein.
Please submit any comments or concerns regarding the proposed development to Doug Huggett in writing by
December 3, 2009.

Minor Modification of Permit Number 293
Dear Ms. Coats:
As per your conversation with Steve Cahoon of Carolina Power & Light Company.
...(CP&L), now doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas (PEC), Inc., on September 14,
2009, PEC requests a minor modification to the existing Permit Number 293 which
authorizes maintenance dredging of the intake canal for, the (BSEP).
PEC requests the modification be made to allow for the filling of a scour hole that has
developed on the canal side of the Diversion Structure.. During maintenance activities at
the Diversion. Structure (authorized by Dredge and`Fill Permit Modification dated
February 18, 2008), the scope of filling the hole was determined and will be filled with
either articulating eoncrete block grid/or rip rap. This is a vital piece of the project as
there is now an unbalanced load on the sheet pilings in the scour area. The fill is needed
to stabilize the lateral load on the pile wall and create a stable slope (see enclosed
drawings), thug avoiding a blowout and An emergency repair of the structure. The fill
will be completely underwater, and will be at a depth of no less than (-) 12 feet mean sea
level. The entire fill area is approximately 10,000 square feet (0.23 acres).
In order to complete the project, Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. requests the North
Carolina Division. of Coastal Management provide its approval as soon as possible.
A narrative summary of the project, detailed drawing, and a location map is provided
along with a check for $100.00 permit fee. Please contact Steve Cahoon at (919) 546-
7457, or Marty McGowan at [phone], with questions or if additional information
is needed.
Sincerely
Edward J. Wills, Jr.

Diversion Structure Maintenance
Scour Protection
Background:
A deep hole has developed inside the Diversion Screen caused by scouring of the silt
material that was initially at elevation -20' MSL and has scoured to -30' MSL. Scouring
has occurred on the channel side of the Diversion Structure that varies from 2 feet to 12
feet deep between support bents 4 and 13. Weak silt material extends to elevation -36'
MSL to -39' MSL. The loss of material behind the Diversion Structure has caused an
unbalanced load on the cantilevered sheet pile under the seat beam causing the sheet
pile to go against the piles of the Diversion Structure support bents and exert a lateral
load on the bents. If the slope behind the Diversion Structure were to continue to scour,
it would cause an overload to the existing structural piles and bents, possibly causing
failure of the structure.
Scope Description:
A maintenance activity is to be performed to stabilize the lateral load on the cantilevered
sheet pile wall under the Diversion Structure seat beam by installing scour protection to
minimize the loss of material behind the Diversion Structure and create a stable slope.
The fill will be completely underwater. The overall area of the scour protection will not
exceed 10,000 ft2 (0.23 acres). See Figure 1 for a plan view of the scour area. Rip rap
or a combination of rip rap and articulating concrete block will be used to establish the
stable slope. Approximately 23,000 cubic feet of class.1 and #357 stone will be used to
fill in the scour hole. See Figure 2 for a typical cross section of the Diversion Structure
and scour repair.

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
Maintenance is proposed to be performed at the Plant's diversion structure. Diversion structure is used to prevent the
entrance of fish and turtles into the intake canal. Canal is used to supply the plant with cooling water.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
NA
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
NA
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
A deep scour hole has developed on the canal side of the diversion structure. The loss of material has caused an
unbalanced load on the sheet piling. If this were allowed to continue it could cause an overload and possible failure of
the support bents of the structure.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
A maintenance activity is needed to install scour protection to minimize the loss of material on the canal side of the
structure and create a stable slope. Excavator will place the articulate concrete block and/or rip rap on the floor of the
canal from a barge.

1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
No disturbance from equipment, minimal impact for the base of the pilings and the placement of the rip rap and/or articulate
concrete block.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
