Per our conversation regarding the subject property attached is the proposed shoreline stabilization
plan. The proposed boulder wall is designed to address excessive shoreline erosion occurring on the
subject property ranging in height from a four feet to in extreme cases in excess of twelve feet in height
(see attached plan). A bio- engineered /planted or rip -wrap stabilization method is not feasible due to the
excessive erosion heights. Existing natural rock outcroppings will be utilized for stabilization where
feasible and the proposed boulder walls will be integrated into the rock out cropping's and secured by
drilling iron pins into the existing rock and boulders at the point of attachment. No cement adhesives
will be used.
Land disturbance will be restricted to the areas adjacent to the wall construction and undisturbed areas
will be protected per NPDNES best management practices. Disturbed areas will be re- vegetated per
Duke Energy Nantahala shoreline management guidelines. Thirty foot setback points will be confirmed
with Lisa Leatherman prior to start of construction.
Please advise if there are any questions or any unanswered question regarding this request. A written
copy of this correspondence will be mailed as requested.

401 Water Quality Certification
Lemming Lot 108 Trillium — Shoreline Stabilization

Response deadline: December 7, 2012
Dear Mr. Lemming and Ms. Lemming:
Dee Freeman
Secretary

DEC 1 0 2012
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required in order to
complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. The DWQ, along with Duke Energy Lake Services, require that you evaluate the feasibility of a)
bioengineered techniques (i.e., native plantings to alleviate soil erosion in lieu of or in
combination with hard structures), b) rip-rap only, and c) the combination of dry stack wall and
rip-rap-
After review of the photos with the application, it appears that a dry stack wall may not be
necessary. No scale was provided to determine the extent of the erosion. You should evaluate
the possibility of rip-rap only, or a small portion of dry stack wall in combination with rip rap.
If work is not conducted from a barge, Duke Energy Lake Services will require replacement in accordance with
Exhibit 1, Part 5.b. of Duke Power Nantahala Area Shoreline Management Guidelines.
