To: Duke Power
c/o Lake Management - EC12Q
P.O. Box 1006
Charlotte, NC 28201-1006
Re: City of Mount Holly, North Carolina
Raw Water Intake Structure Capacity Increase
The City of Mount Holly, North Carolina hereby agrees to comply with all requirements
and conditions set forth by Duke Power's Lake Management office, or any federal, state
or local agencies pertaining to our application to construct raw water intake structure
improvements on Mountain Island Lake. In addition, we have read and agree to comply
with Duke Power's Shoreline Management Guidelines (SMG) and understand that
written authorization must be obtained from Duke's Lake Management office prior to
beginning any activity/construction within the project boundary. The construction will be
completed as described in the approved application and with (18) months from the date of
approval by Lake Management. Failure to complete construction within the build-out or
extension period will require the applicant to file a new application within the then-
current guidelines. The filing will include any applicable fees and security deposits.
We attest to be the owner or leaseholder of the tract of land immediately adjoining the
project boundary.
We agree to be fully responsible for the permitted reservoir use including maintaining
structures in good repair. If the facility is deemed unsafe by a Lake Management
Representative, we agree to repair or remove the facility at our own expense and within
the specified timeframe. This responsibility is considered to transfer automatically along
with ownership and leases of the adjoining tract.
We understand that we must execute this user's agreement letter and enter into a
conveyance agreement for the area within the project boundary. The proposed
Instrument of Conveyance (Permit) for the project land will be provided by Duke Power.
We understand that the proposed facilities will be used only for the purpose described in
' the information submitted for approval by Lake Management and other appropriate
governing bodies as applicable.
' We understand that the information provided in the application and reviewed by the
agencies includes all activities within the reservoir boundary that support this project and
' subsequent additional activities will not be submitted for incorporation on the original
proposal without filing a new application, and incurring additional filing fees and
deposits.

' If during construction an extension period is needed, we must file a written request with
Lake Management explaining why the additional time is needed. If the extension is
' granted, the new construction may be required to comply with any additional guidelines
which are imposed due to regulatory and/or business requirements.
t We understand that this lake is open for use by the general public and that maintaining
safe and lawful public use is one of the primary lake management objectives of Duke
' Power.
We understand that the use for which we are applying must not interfere with the general
' public's safe and lawful use of the lake.
We understand that there will be no change in hydro project operations as a result of
' construction and/or utilization of the proposed facilities.
We agree to notify Lake Management when construction is initiated and completed.
During the construction period, the weather-proof "Duke Power Approved Lake Use
' Activity" sign (to be provided by Duke Power) must be posted at the job site, visible
from the water's edge.
' We agree to provide and maintain appropriate signage and/or warning devices necessary
for the safe construction and operation of proposed facilities.

We recognize that it is our responsibility to clearly locate in the field and label on our
work area drawings any areas that require specific protection or avoidance during this
' excavation work. Examples of these protection/avoidance areas include any
environmental areas or natural areas as identified by Duke, jurisdictional wetlands,
historic properties, rare or threatened species and buried gas, water, sewer or electric
' lines.
We understand that every reasonable effort must be made to minimize any adverse
' impact on fish, wildlife, and other natural resources.
We understand that Duke Power maintains the right to require payment for loss of
' hydroelectric energy and capacity resulting from withdrawal of water from the
hydroelectric reservoir.
' We agree that reasonable water conservation measures will be implemented during
drought conditions.
' We understand that interbasin transfers do impact the project and that such transfers
should be kept to the lowest practical levels.
' We agree that excavation will not occur during the months of March, April, May and
June because of potential impact to fish spawning areas.

' We understand that trees and vegetation growing below the project boundary play an
important role in the overall environmental condition of the lake. The ecological impact
' the vegetation has on the fish and wildlife habitat is necessary to ensure a sound and
healthy lake environment. We also understand that unauthorized removal of shoreline
vegetation (i.e. button bushes, willows, cattails, etc.) and/or disturbance of the shoreline
' buffer may result in suspension or denial of lake use permitting requests and
reestablishment of vegetation, if the disturbance is found to be in violation of the state or
county watershed buffer regulations.
' We agree to notify Lake Management if the property is sold and provide the name and
' address of the new owner.
We have included a check for any applicable fees and/or security deposits. We
' understand that the security deposit will be refunded when construction is completed in
accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
' We understand that Lake Management representatives may issue Stop Work Directives
for any violations of the SMG and that other consequences may result from such
violations, including but not limited to suspension or cancellation of approved
' applications, increase in fees, modification or removal of non-complying structures and
restoration of disturbed areas at the owner's expense or loss of any consideration for
future reservoir use applications.

Don Price, Utilities Director for
The City of Mount Holly, North Carolina s'----

1.0 Introduction
This report was developed for the City of Mount Holly as part of the requirements of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Conveyance Permit Application. In order to meet
future raw water demands, the City wishes to expand the capacity of its raw water intake
structure to 13.5 MGD from its currently permitted flow of 3.0 MGD.
2.0 Projected Demand
' Presented in Figure 1 is a graph showing the average and peak annual raw water projections for
the next forty years. The current average demand is approximately 2.92 MGD, and the current
peak demand is approximately 4.38 MGD. The demand projections assume an annual growth
' rate of 2.9%. Also shown on Figure 1 is the current raw water intake facility capacity along with
the requested capacity.

3.0 Usage Efficiency
One of the most effective ways to ensure that raw water withdrawn is being used efficiently is
the implementation of a leak detection and repair program. The largest component of an
effective leak detection and repair program is a water audit. This involves a routine compilation
of the amount of water sold, used for flushing, fire fighting, etc. for a certain period of time.
This value can then be compared to the amount of water produced by the water plant and a
percent loss calculated. Due to meter inaccuracies, inaccurate flow estimates, unmetered
connections, billing cycles, and other reasons, a 100% accurate figure cannot realistically be
achieved. Generally, if the percent loss of water in a distribution system is less than 10%, the
program is considered successful. The American Water Works Association's Leak Detection
and Water Accountability Committee suggested this value as a goal for water utilities. If the
percent of water loss exceeds 15%, then additional measures such as performing a water system
survey with listening devices may be necessary. The City plans to calculate and review the
water accountability on a quarterly basis.
2
In addition to performing water accountability calculations, the City's repair and meter reading
crews monitor areas around water mains for "wet spots". Abrupt increases in customer billings
are also investigated for possible line leaks.

6.0 Alternative Raw Water Supplies

C

The City considered three alternative raw water supply sources: modifying the existing intake
facility on Mountain Island Lake to increase its capacity, installing multiple groundwater wells,
and constructing a new intake facility on the Catawba River. Below is a brief discussion of each
alternative along with its total estimated construction cost.
Existing Facility Modifications
Modifying the existing facility on Mountain Island Lake was selected from the three available
alternatives for two basic reasons: 1) it provides the most reliable raw water source and 2) it is
the most cost-effective to construct. The City already has the required structure in place that is
capable of withdrawing the needed water from the lake. The modifications will be fairly simple
with the only structural modification being the addition of new intake screens to keep intake
velocities at acceptable levels.
The total estimated construction cost for the required intake facility modifications is $150,000
(one hundred and fifty thousand dollars).
Groundwater Well Installation
The second raw water supply alternative considered by the City was the installation of
groundwater wells. Assuming that the average well yield is approximately 50 gallons per minute
(gpm) and constrained by the fact that wells are only allowed to be pumped for 1000 minutes per
day, it would take 270 wells to meet the required yield of 13.5 MGD. This option is impractical
for a number of reasons:
• Wells are very unreliable as a public water supply because they are subject to severe
' shortages during droughts.
• Wells are more susceptible to unknown contamination.
' • The City does not own sufficient property to install 270 wells.
• The maintenance of the piping on 270 separate wells would be overwhelming.
• The construction cost is unreasonable.
' The estimated construction cost for 270 wells excluding property acquisition and maintenance is
$5,400,000 (five million four hundred thousand dollars).
' Catawba River Intake Facility
' The final supply alternative investigated by the City was constructing a raw water intake facility
on the Catawba River below the Mountain Island Lake Dam. This alternative also proved to be
less desirable than the intake facility modifications. Some of the reasons the possibility of a new
' intake structure was rejected were:
• The water supply would be less reliable than the lake because the river is subject to
' greater fluctuations in elevation, particularly during a drought.
1 6
• The water would still be removed from the same river basin as the existing station.
• Constructing an entire new station was cost prohibitive.

The estimated construction cost of a new raw water intake facility is $3,000,000 (three million
dollars).
7.0 Raw Water Usage
Refer to Figure 3 for a flow chart of raw water usage after it is withdrawn from Mountain Island
Lake. As the Figure 3 indicates, the City sells treated water to the Town of Stanley to meet a
portion of their potable water needs. The City also treats a portion of the wastewater generated
by the Town of Stanley.
8.0 Wastewater Stream Limits
The City operates one wastewater treatment plant with a single discharge point in the Catawba
River below the Mountain Island Lake Dam. Table 1 below details the wastewater treatment
' plant's effluent limitations (NPDES Permit No. N00021156).

' The City's wastewater treatment plant's effluent stream is monitored for both total flow and
chemical and metals content. Presented in Table 2 are the results of the chemical analysis for
August 2002. A review of this data shows that the monthly average for each of these chemical
constituents is less than 50% of the permitted limit. The average daily flow is also well below its
permitted limit.
