Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The purpose of this project is to provide the public with a boat ramp access area to the Tuckasegee River in the Whittier
NC area The Whittier area public recreation is part of a larger comprehensive settlement agreement along the
Tuckasegee River signed by stakeholders including governmental agencies non governmental agencies special interest
groups and Tuckasegee River users This location in Whittier was one of several in a series of free public recreation sites
that were agreed to be installed along the Tuckasegee River This new boat ramp will be used by the public to provide
access for drift boats canoes lon boats kayaks and other recreational boats into the Tuckasegee River
3e
Describe the overall project in detail including the type of equipment to be used
Duke Energy will install a concrete boat ramp asphalt paved turn around area and a gravel parking lot American
Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant parking and sidewalk will be provided to the ramp area The boat ramp will be
approximately 14 feet wide and approximately 40 feet long and about 10 inches thick with stone underneath The
concrete ramp will be poured in placed The majority of the boat ramp will be installed above the ordinary high water mark
(OHWM) as determined by USACE personnel The existing trees along the shore will be protected during construction
Appropriate grading equipment will be utilized to level the area to the boat ramp design specifications Appropriate
sediment and erosion protection best management practices (BMPs) will be utilized to protect the waters of the
Tuckasegee River Post construction runoff from the paved areas of the site will discharge into vegetative areas of the
property Approvals for the land disturbance activities have been obtained from Jackson County

Impact Justification and Mitigation
1
Avoidance and Minimization
la Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
Duke Energy investigated and evaluated several parcels of land for the proposed public recreation facility The parcels of
land considered were located upstream of the town of Whittier on both the river right and river left After informal
discussions with the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians the alternative locations had a high risk of having historic
and /or cultural resources being present Additionally the current site chosen had been previously disturbed with
residential development The NWP 36 allows for limited fill material to construct the boat ramp This project is below the
limits allowed by NWP 36
b
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
The boat ramp location was selected to minimize the impact area to the water based on the existing shoreline To
minimize the impact the boat ramp was designed such that the majority of the boat ramp will be constructed above the
OHWM as determined by USACE personnel Only about 90 square feet (0 002 ac) of impact and about 6 linear feet
across the width of the boat ramp will be below the current OHWM The concrete ramp will be poured in placed The
existing trees along the shore will be protected during construction Appropriate grading equipment will be utilized to level
the area to the boat ramp design specifications Appropriate sediment and erosion protection best management practices
(BMPs) will be utilized to protect the river

have reviewed the revised drawing for installation of a boat access area at the Whittier site
The proposed improvements will provide river access in the area of the Tuckasegee Area Hydroelectric Projects
Key Design Features
According to my review of the revised drawings and our streamside discussion the key features include
Excavation and fill beyond the high water mark will be very limited (42 ft3 and 32 ft3 respectively)
Retention and protection during construction of natural riparian vegetation Native shoreline vegetation should be left unaltered
as much as possible The specimen trees illustrated in the Site Layout and Grading Plan will be protected from construction
impacts and equipment damage with maximum protection of lateral roots
Revegetation with native deep rooted species Riparian buffers should be maintained or re established with plantings of natives
species such as silky dogwood and multi stem river birch wherever possible
Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where sod is disturbed and should be maintained until project completion
n the upland areas and along the shoreline construction area in the riparian portions of the project No excavated material should
)e stockpiled where sediment will erode to surface waters
Grading to feature a vegetated swale area (raingarden) for stormwater reduction
)ther Measures
Notify USFWS prior to construction for final site review and endangered species check
Communicate the importance of erosion control and other design features and construction phasing to all contractors and staff on
ite
ndangered Species Act We have records of the endangered Appalachian elktoe (Alasmidonta ravenehana) from this stream
each and this reach is designated critical habitat for this species We also have records of the Candidate species Sicklefin
edhorse (Moxostoma sp ) from this reach During our site visit we looked at the habitat in the vicinity of the proposed river access
3cilities the Corps delineated the high water mark and you described the planned facilities We also discussed the following
onstituent elements which are essential to the conservation of the Appalachian elktoe
1 Permanent flowing cool clean water
2 Geomorphically stable stream channels and banks
3 Pool riffle and run sequences within the channel
4 Stable sand gravel cobble and boulder or bedrock substrates with no more than low amounts of fine sediment
5 Moderate to high stream gradient
6 Periodic natural flooding and
7 Fish hosts with adequate living foraging and spawning areas for them
ritical habitat is designated for the Appalachian elktoe in the main stem of the Tuckasegee River (Critical Habitat Unit 2) from the
C State Route 1002 Bridge in Cullowhee Jackson County North Carolina downstream to the N C Highway 19 Bridge north of
ryson City Swain County North Carolina
ological Conclusion Based on the site visit we made together the revised drawings and the commitment to construct this
cility with the utmost care and erosion control we find the proposed project will not likely adversely affect the Appalachian
ktoe nor will it constitute an adverse modification of critical habitat This conclusion is based on successful implementation of all
the design features and measures noted above
/20/2012

Summary We look forward to working with you and Duke Energy Carolinas LLC and the U S Army Corps of Engineers to
ensure that our recommendations are Implemented and that impacts to endangered species and fish and wildlife resources are
minimized if you have specific questions concerning these comments please contact me at 828/258 3939 Ext 227 In any
