BIO-ENGINEERING AND SHORELINE STABILIZATION MITIGATION
TECHNIQUES
FOR LAKES MANAGED BY DUKE ENERGY LAKE SERVICES
1. Bio-engineering
A. Definition
Bio-engineering is an effective scientific method, using a combination of natural and living
materials, to stabilize eroded banks along the shoreline. Bio-engineering techniques vary
according to a number of factors, including but not limited to; slope, soil type and wave action.
Often a combination of techniques may be utilized to effectively control erosion in areas with
varying condition.
B. Benefits
In addition to controlling erosion and the aesthetic value of a more natural shoreline, the use of
native plants create additional habitat for wildlife. A permit and written authorization for any
shoreline stabilization project is required from Duke Energy Lake Services. By utilizing bio-
engineering as the primary stabilization technique, the permit application fee for shoreline
stabilization is waived.

D. Techniques
Bio-engineering techniques normally include minor grading to allow for the installation of a rip
rap toe, rock gabion, Bio-log®, crib wall or similar structure in high energy areas. The structures
are then enhanced by the addition of natural/living material. For example.
1. live stakes - branches cut from living material and planted with stems and buds pointed
upward. Initially they offer little to no soil reinforcement but do so after the first growing
season once a root system becomes established. Often used with other techniques and
conducted during the dormant season.
2. live fascine - branched bundled and secured together and placed in a very shallow trench
along the toe of the eroded bank or in the bank face. They are usually installed in conjunction
with geotextile fabrics above a rip rap or gabion toe.
brush mattress - includes both live stakes and live fascines. Provides protection of the
shoreline upon installation and can be used in layers beginning just above a rip rap or gabion
toe.
4. plant plugs - plantings with intact root stock. Placed directly into the bank face with the soil
compacted around the root stock.
E. Follow un activities
Riparian Zone Management Information: Duke Energy will design and publish an informational
piece that will provide property owners with a range of information about bio-engineering
techniques, material sources, information sources and the value of riparian zone. This will be the
final project in the Riparian Zone Management Initiative and will serve as a compilation of the
on-going efforts through the year 2000.
II. Mitigation
A. General Guidance
Mitigation proposals should provide realistic but substantial allowances for reducing and
relieving the impact of the proposed shoreline stabilization technique proposed. In general,
mitigation activities should enhance the wildlife habitat in the immediate area of the stabilization
activity and may consist of but are not limited to; enhancing fish cover under an approved pier or
similar structure, maintaining a natural vegetative buffer along the entire shoreline of the lot,
placing or maintaining secured cover and perching habitat (e.g. root wads, stumps, fallen trees,
etc.) along portions of the shoreline.

B. Review Timefi-ame
Applicants for proposed shoreline stabilization activities identified in the Shoreline Stabilization
Technique Selection Criteria (Attachment 1) that require wildlife agency review and/or mitigation
must send their applications to the district game and fisheries biologist of the applicable NC/SC
agency for a minimum 30-day review and comment period. In the absence of any finding of
significant adverse impacts on fish and wildlife resources during this 30-day review period, the
applicant will be allowed to proceed without further notice to send their completed application to
Duke Energy Lake Services for approval. If there are findings of significant impact and those
impacts are not adequately mitigated, then the applicant will not be allowed to proceed with the
proposed stabilization activity. Applicants should make every effort to comply directly with
resource agency recommendations.

Shoreline Stabilization Technique Selection Process
General conditions:
-All seawalls must have Class B or larger rip[-rap extending 6 feet lakeward from the base.
-Considering current lake level operating targets and variability and the desire to prevent unnecessary impacts, rip
rap must be confined to the area between 6' below full pond elevation and no more than one foot above full pond
elevation to the maximum practicable extent. Potential exceptions include areas where entire placement is above
the FERC project boundary, where banks are already eroded above the full pond elevation or where severely
eroded banks must be sloped back or terraced to provide minimum bank stability.
-Seawalls are not allowed in areas with an average eroded bank height or less than 3 feet.
-Proposals for stabilization where bank height is less than 2 feet can utilize approved bio-engineering techniques
and enhanced rip-rap techniques only.
-The bank height is the average height of the eroded shoreline (measured from the original lake bed to the top of the
eroded bank) in the area to be stabilized.
-Bio-engineering techniques within an IMZ require applicant to provide photo evidence of successful vegetation
establishment at 1 year point Bio-engineering is a stabilization approach that utilizes natural and living material.
Bio-engineering techniques may include use of rip-rap with live stakes, rock filled gabions, live staked crib walls,
biologs, and numerous other activities.
-Applicant can use bioengineering, rip-rap, seawalls or any combination of stabilization techniques where use of
hardening structures are allowed.
-Stabilization in an IMZ requires review/approval by the applicable state wildlife agency and reasonable mitigation
requirements as determined through consultation with the state wildlife agencies.
-Stabilization is not allowed from March 1 through June 30 in areas identified as IMZs in the SMP.
-New or expanded stabilization activities (excluding Bio-engineering) may not be undertaken within the 50'
Environmental offset associated with an Environmental classification in the SMP.
-Cut/fill
-Stabilization in areas classified as Natural due to the presence of significant cultural resources, should not have
artifacts impacted by utilizing any shoreline stabilization techniques.

Re: General 401 Water Quality Certification for Lake and Reservoir Activities
Dear Messrs. Chisholm and Hall:
The purpose of this correspondence is to clarify the provisions and process relative to NC
Division of Water Quality's General 401 Water Quality Certification Number 3280 which correspond to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers General Permit 198200030. We understand that you receive
numerous requests from lakefront property owners inquiring about the permit requirements for activities
they propose to conduct on the waterfront. After you have determined the property owner needs to
obtain a permit for dredging or shoreline stabilization from you, we understand they are then instructed
to obtain the necessary 404/401 Permits. These property owners should pursue the following sequence
of events to determine their 404/401 permit needs. We have coordinated this letter with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers so that it relates equally to both permitting programs.
1. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the lead agency and accordingly determines 404 requirements
for all projects. Applicants should first contact the appropriate Corps field office representative for
their county. To identify which counties are handled by a particular Corps regulatory field office or
to find the appropriate individual in the regulatory staff, the public can access the Wilmington
District Regulatory Homepage at www.saw.usace.at-iiiv.niiI/wetlailds/reptour.litm or read from the
list on Appendix A. The Corps staff will determine if a 404 Permit is required, and if so, which
particular one. It is important that the applicant learn specifically which Nationwide or Regional
General Permit applies to their work. For lake and reservoir activities, General Permit 198200030
(also called General Permit 30 or GP 30), is often the appropriate permit. The matching General
Certification for GP 30 is the subject of this correspondence.
2. Application for GP 30 involves submittal of detailed plans, location maps, and other supplemental
information explaining the nature and scope of the work to the Corps. If the work is determined to
comply with all conditions of GP 30, the Corps will then issue a"tear sheet" to the applicant, either
on-site or by mail, that qualifies as the Corps' written confirmation that the proposed work complies
with tills regional general permit. It is important for applicants to note that GP 30 always requires
written concurrence from the Corps.

3. If the Corps tells an applicant that no 404 is required for their project, then no 401 Certification is
required. However, applicants should note that projects located within the Neuse River, Tar-Pamlico
River, or Randleman Reservoir Basins may require approval of Buffer Rules for projects within
these watersheds. In such cases, the applicant should call the appropriate DWQ Regional Office
staff (Appendix B) to discuss the project. The Regional Office staff may elect to perform a site visit
to review the site conditions and discuss the buffer approval or variance process.
4. If the Corps requires a 404 Permit, then a 401 Water Quality Certification is required. In the case of
GP 30, DWQ has a matching General Certification (GC 3280), which is attached. The first thing the
applicant should do is carefully read GC 3280 to determine whether written concurrence is required.
Written DWQ concurrence is required if the activity involves any fill, dredging or excavation of
waters or wetlands. This includes any waterward extension of the shoreline, excavation of boat
basins (even during lake draw-down periods), bank stabilization practices that involve any new fill in
waters (including any amount of new rip-rap placement), boat ramps involving placement of fill in
waters, and new dredging. Activities which do not require written concurrence for GC 3280 include
seawall repairs that do not require any new fill in waters, and the placement of pilings for docks,
piers and boathouses. It is vital that the applicant understands the difference between "No 401
Required" versus "No Written Concurrence for the 401 Required." No 401 is required only if no
404 is required. If a 404 is required, a 401 is always required. If the scope of work falls below the
thresholds for written concurrence on the 40 L the conditions of GC 3280 still apply, and the
applicant does not have to submit a formal request for approval from DWQ for their specific project.
However, the applicant is still required to follow all of the conditions of GC 3280, which you can
copy for them or they can download from our web site. A speed limit sign is a useful analogy to
explain this - a driver needs to look for and obey the speed limit sign on a road, but does not have to
obtain a letter from a police officer saying he has permission to drive down the road.
If a project does require written concurrence for GC 3280, then the applicant must provide a written
application to the Division of Water Quality. We have prepared a special link entitled "A Lake
Dweller's Guide to the 401 Water Quality Certification Process" on the 401/Wetlands Unit web site
at littp://li2o.enr.state.ilc.us/ncwctlands . This site contains information to guide the applicant
through this process, including links to the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application form.
Copies of the appropriate web pages are attached herein for you to provide to applicants without
internet access. If the applicant has already filled out a PCN form for the Corps, they can simply
copy this PCN form for DWQ. In brief, the applicant is required to provide seven copies of the PCN
form, an application fee made out to the Division of Water Quality ($200 if total impacts fall below
1 acre of waters/wetlands and 150 linear feet of streams, $475 if above these thresholds), and good
quality vicinity and local maps depicting the impact. The reason we require seven copies is that we
act as a state clearinghouse, and provide copies to five other agencies, which saves the applicant
from this requirement. Provided that the applicant has included all of the required information,
applications such as these are quickly issued by DWQ. The GC 3280 applications that are placed on
hold are usually deficient in maps. Applicants can save themselves time by preparing good maps
with scales and north arrows. The vicinity map must clearly depict their property within the county
or city. The site map must clearly show their property boundaries, and the location, nature and
extent of the impacts. USGS topo maps are typically the most useful type of site map for individual
property owners to use as a base for their site map. Impacts must be quantified on the map and in the
form as an area (i.e. 0.5 acres, not just shoreline length). If an applicant needs help filling out the
application form, they should contact the appropriate DWQ Regional Office Staff, or Cyndi Karoly
at [phone] in the DWQ Central Office.
Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-
9646 or Cyndi Karoly at [phone]. .
Sincerely,
il Denney
