Duke Energy Corporation
c/o Robert W. Caccia
13339 Hagers Ferry Road, Mail Code: MG03A5
Huntersville, NC 28078-7929
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to improve the
existing McCrary Creek Access Area on Lake Norman in Iredell County, as you described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality on March 21, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3099. This certification allows you to use
General Permit Number 198200030 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Water shed regulations. This approval will
expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.. If the property is sold, the
new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying
with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you
must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box
27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646.

DUKE POWER
MCCRARY CREEK ACCESS AREA
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
February 2, 2000
Duke Power Company proposes to improve the McCrary Creek Access
Area provided for the general public at the Lake Norman Hydro
Project. The project is located in Iredell County, North Carolina
off of Highway 150.
CURRENT CONDITION OF SITE
The existing site is comprised with a paved parking lot and 2
boat ramps. The area for the parking lot expansion is a grassy
area lined on two sides with mature pine trees.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Remove 2 existing ramps, install 4 new boat ramps, 2 loading
piers, plus repave existing parking area and expand parking lot
to 120 parking spaces and light parking lot. Construction
activities are not planned to start until September 2000.
The scope of this project will include:
Installation and removal of erosion control devices
- Removal of existing boat ramps.
Clearing and removal of debris as necessary to accommodate
project layout.
Expand parking lot to 120 parking spaces. Existing area will be
repaved and expanded parking area will be graded, graveled and
paved to sustain light duty traffic. Asphalt curbing shall be
placed along the turnaround and the parking lot edge.
Preparation of ramp bed for (4) 100 foot long boat ramps with
class B riprap (five inch to 15 inch diameter stone).
Installation of (4) 100 foot concrete boat ramps. Ramps
expected to be constructed of 7 inch thick reinforced concrete
mat with curbing to specified dimensions.
Installation of 10 foot wide by six inch thick concrete apron
to adjoin boat ramps with concrete curb extending from ramp to
edge of concrete apron.
- Installation of (2) 100 foot long loading piers and concrete
pier-abutments for access. Piers shall be located between the
concrete ramps. Any piles required for pier should be
installed prior to installation of rock for ramps to avoid
having to drive piles through the riprap. Pier design and
installation shall be negotiated and purchased from Gator Dock
Company.
- Finish grading and grassing and/or rocking of edges along
entrance road and parking lot, shoreline and other structural
components to establish natural erosion control.
- Installation of new trash can pad.
- Installation of FERC regulatory signs.
