Cool. Do you need more time to review the comments more thoroughly (I have not looked at them yet) or will this be
your comments. Either is fine with me- just want to be clear. thankx

Morning John: zv?
ROR projects. Still Duke is trying to not commit to long term sediment management. Tough. We have been saying that
it must be done since Oct 2000. Our position has not changed. They still need to do it. And they need a final plan in 12
months. They've had 10 years to get on it, not they can get on it....
Storage Projects. Shoreline Management must be included. These are "sensitive" watersheds (water supplies and HQW
/ ORW, and Tr) and shoreline management is key to maintaining these designated uses. They must do it.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hello John:
We have received the 401 Water Quality Certifications (WQCs) for the Bryson, Franklin, Mission, Nantahala,
East Fork, and West Fork Projects. Like me, I am sure you are glad that we have finally reached the point
where we no longer need to withdraw and resubmit our Applications for Water Quality Certifications for these
Projects each year.
As you know, we were in discussions with several resource agencies all the way through the end of the public
comment period and you have received quite a bit of input on the WQCs. As we reviewed the WQCs for these
Projects, we came across a few things that we need to clarify and get your concurrence.
With that goal in mind, I have attached 2 short documents (one for run-of-river projects and one for storage
projects) listing the things we would like to confirm with you. This week, we'd like to have your informal
advance review and feedback on these attachments. After we have had a chance to discuss your feedback
with you and reconcile any comments, it is our plan to convert these into formal letters to DWQ to request
written concurrence.
Hopefully we can work together to achieve your written concurrence with these clarifications, as we did for the
Catawba-Wateree Project, within 30 days after the WQCs were issued (July 9, 2010). If not, we may need to
file for appeal so as not to lose that option. Such an appeal, if necessary, would be intended to allow us time to
work out clarifications. Assuming that we are able to do so, we would plan to withdraw the appeal upon
receiving your written concurrence with the clarifications.
Thanks in advance John for considering these requests. Please let me know if you have any comments by
June 25 if possible.
