On behalf of Duke Energy, Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions,
Inc. (Wood) previously submitted a Joint Individual Permit (IP) Application
for the L.V. Sutton Energy Complex- Sutton Lake Dam Rearmament and
Vegetation Removal Project located at the L.V. Sutton Energy Complex in
New Hanover County, North Carolina. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) issued Action ID SAW-2011-00858 for authorization of fill impacts
to jurisdictional waters on March 30, 2019 and the NC Department of
Environmental Quality, Division of Water Resources (NCDEQ-DWR) issues
an Individual 401 Water Quality Certification WQC004207 on March 20,
2020. A request is made herein for a modification of the issued USACE IP
and NCDEQ-DWR WgC004207. The modification request includes
background information, the rationale (updated purpose and need) for the
proposed action, updated Plan View drawings, updated tabular data on
newwetland impacts, and compensatory mitigation.
The proposed modification to the issued USACE IP (SAW-2011-00858) and
NCDEW-DWR Certification (WQC004207) is necessary to address the
following item of concern. This item of concern must be resolved for
completion (closure) of the Sutton Lake Dam Rearmament and Vegetation
Removal Project and to assure that the authorized activities onsite for the
project are in compliance with USACE regulatory requirements. The item of
concern entails the additional placement of stone (rip -rap) within the 15-
foot zone (repair area) from the toe of the dam. The stone was placed
beyond (waterward of) the six-foot zone and was a field action that
occurred during the initial construction effort to armor the cleared zone with
geotextile fabric and rip -rap. Furthermore, the field change was based on
engineering judgement, or necessity, that additional armament would be
required in specific observed locations. This action resulted in an additional
impact of 0.493 acre to Wetland E. Furthermore, this action was completed
as based on the need to clear tree and shrub vegetation from areas of
armament within the 15-foot zone from the toe of the dam.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
11 /12/2020
Please attach the documentation you would like to have the meeting about.
