TO AUTHORIZE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES. IN
LAKES AND RESERVOIlZS OWNED, OPERATED AND/OR REGULATED BY PUBLIC
UTILITY COMPANIES AND THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY (TVA) IN THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
These lakes and reservoirs were constructed and exist primarily for the purposes of generating
hydroelectric power and/or providing water supply. They were constructed and~are operated by
public utility companies or under laws and regulations administered by the TVA. Activities
within these waters are the primary concern of, and should be regulated by, these parties. This
general. permit applies to all waters on or within lands owned or under flowage easement to
public utility companies and the TVA. Activities authorized are:
a. Construction of piers, floating boat docks, boat shelters, boat houses, boat ramps, jetties
and breakwater structures and installation of dolphins, pilings and buoys, using
commonly acceptable materials such as pressure treated lumber, unsinkable flotation
materials, and confined concrete.

b. Excavation and maintenance of recreational boat basins and canals/channels where
excavated material is placed and retained on high ground.
c. Stabilization of eroding shorelines utilizing appropriate bioengineering techniques,
construction and backfill of bulkheads, and the placement of riprap material.
d. Installation of submerged and aerial utility lines provided U.S. Coast Guazd requirements
for aerial lines are met and pre-project elevation contours are restored.
e. Maintenance of existing water intake and outfall structures provided all State and Federal
required authorizations have been obtained. Construction of new water intake and outfall
structures is not authorized under this general permit.
Special Conditions
a. Written confirmation that the proposed work complies with this general permit must
be received from the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers prior to the commencement of any
work. For this purpose, the proponent should submit to the Corps, detailed plans, location maps,.
and other supplemental information explaining the nature and scope of the work.
b. To be authorized by this permit, all piers, docks, boathouses and boat shelters shall be
pile-supported or floating structures. Piles, dolphins, jetties and breakwater structures may be of
wood, metal or precast concrete. Breakwater structures will be designed to provide for adequate
water circulation landwazd of the structures.
c. This general permit does not authorize construction across or into any natural or
manmade channel or water body in any manner that may adversely affect navigation by the
general public.
d. C-n natural waterways 30-foot wide or greater that have been designated as navigable
waters of the US pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, this permit does
not authorize placement of any pier segment or structure further waterwazd than one-third the
width of the water body. For navigable water bodies less than 30 feet wide, pier requests will be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be restricted to less than one-third the width of the
water body.
e. Docks or piers and adjoining platforms, decks, boathouses, boat shelters, docks, and
"L" and "T" sections will not cumulatively exceed the maximum allowable size of such
structures identified in the reservoir's shoreline management plan. Docks and piers extending
over wetlands will be elevated sufficiently (minimum of 4 feet above the wetland substrate) to
prevent total shading of vegetation, substrate, or other elements of the aquatic environment.
2

f. Floating .docks, boathouses and boat shelters will not be constructed over wetlands.
g. Wooden jetties will not extend farther than 100 feet waterward of the NWL elevation
contours.
h. Decking for piers, docks, boathouses and boat shelters will accommodate loads not
less than 50 pounds per square foot.
i. Wood must be pressure-treated except in areas of boathouses or boat shelters protected
from the weather.
j. Metal pilings or beams will have a minimum section thickness of 3/16 inch.
k. Floating structures will be supported by material that will not become waterlogged or
sink when punctured and will be installed to provide for fluctuations of water elevation.
I. If the display of lights and signals on the authorized structure is not otherwise provided
for by law, such lights and signals as may be prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard will be installed
and maintained by and at the expense of the permittee.
m. This general permit does not authorize any habitable structure or associated facility
for nonwater-related use.
n. This general permit does not apply to structures within existing or proposed marinas.
For purposes of this General permit, a marina is defined as any publicly or privately owned dock,
basin or wet boat storage facility constructed to accommodate more than 10 boats.
o. Boat ramps will not exceed 20 feet in width. During boat ramp construction and
maintenance, no fill or construction material may be placed in wetlands.
p. Excavation associated with boat ramp construction or maintenance is limited to the
area necessary for site preparation and all excavated material must be removed to uplands.
q. This general permit does not authorize the installation of fueling facilities on
authorized structures.
r. Where wetlands are present along a shoreline, all shoreline stabilization activities (bio-
engineering techniques, construction and backfill of bulkheads, and the placement of riprap
material) must be undertaken landward of the wetlands. This general permit does not authorize
the discharge of dredged or fill material within wetlands.

s. Bulkhead and riprap alignments will not extend farther waterwazd than an average
distance of two (2) feet, maximum distance of five (5) feet from the normal pool elevation
contour and may not extend more than 500 feet along a shoreline.
t. Riprap will be placed at the base of all bulkheads and will extend a maximum of three
(3) feet waterwazd on a 2:1 slope. All other fill material will be confined landward of bulkheads.
u. Material placed for shoreline stabilization will not exceed an average of one cubic
yard per running foot placed below the plane of the ordinary high water mark.
w. Excavation for the removal of accumulated sediment from existing basins, access
channels and boats slips must not exceed the lesser of the previously authorized depths or
controlling depths for ingress/egress.
x. To avoid potential impacts to fish spawning areas, excavation activities will not occur
during the months of March, April, May, or June of any year.
y. Dredging will be limited to channelwazd of the normal pool elevation. Finished
depths will not exceed the depth of the receiving waters channelwazd of the work.
z. All excavated material will be placed landward of the normal pool elevation contour
on high ground and confined by adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent erosion
and sedimentation into adjacent waters or wetlands. The temporary placement or double
handling of excavated or fill material waterwazd of the normal pool elevation is not authorized.
aa. The minimum clearance for aerial power lines wil] be governed by system voltage as
shown below:
Nominal System Minimum Clearance (ft)
Voltage, Kilovolts Above Bridge Cleazances
115 and below 20
138 22
161 24
230 26
350 30
500 35
700 42
750-765 45
4

Clearances are based on the low point of the line under conditions that produce the maximum sag
considering temperature, -load, wind, length, span and type of supports. Clearances for
communication lines, stream gauging cables, ferry cables and other aerial crossings will be a
minimum of ten (10) feet above clearances for bridges. Installation of utility lines will conform
to the special conditions of general (regional) permit No. 198100049.
bb. If an easement to fill or cross utility company, State or Federal property is required,
