6h. Total buffer impacts
14,387.43
6i. Comments: Total proposed buffer impacts are —0.33 acres (14,387.43 square feet).
The proposed infrastructure within the buffers is the minimum necessary to achieve the project objectives and to satisfy the
requirements of the FERC Comprehensive Relicensing Agreement (CRA) and the Recreation Management Plan (RMP). All
buffer impacts are for public infrastructure that must meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, as applicable.
The design avoids buffer impacts along more than 0.50 miles of shoreline.
-Trails located within the buffers must meet stringent slope and surface requirements so that the proposed public facilities are
accessable; this includes the beach and fishing piers. Site topography, buffer regulations, layout considerations, and parking
geometry result in grading that pushes the walking trails towards the water but maintains the 30 foot buffer to the maximum
extent practicable while achieving required public recreational mandates.
-Fishing piers are water dependent and are ADA accessible.
-The beach is water dependent and all ancillary facilities such as picnic tables are located out of the buffers.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The plan minimizes impacts to open waters by establishing the minimum size beach area and number of fishing piers
mandated by the FERC CRA. Further minimization of impacts is achieved by establishing fish attractors on the pier supports
in conjunction with NC Wildlife Resources Commission recommendations. The plan minimizes impacts from the beach area
by locating the beach in a protected cove that will be less susseptable to fetch, and placement of the site amenities, beach
and stabilization measures (jetties) completely avoid impacts to wetlands that occur on -site. Bank stabilization will minimize
ongoing erosion and improve water quality. The plan avoids impacts to all wetlands.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Sediment and erosion control best management practices will be incorporated during construction to avoid potential impacts to
downstream waters, including but not limited to double row high hazard silt fence, rain gardens, and a floating turbidity curtain
in some areas. Rain gardens will be retained as permanent stormwater control measures post construction.
The project incorporates stormwater management practices that include diffuse flow methods to minimize impacts to the
riparian buffer and downstream aquatic resources.

6h. Comments: Buffer impacts result from proposed public infrastructure that is "Allowable Upon Authorization" based on
either its design parameters or because it is a "Water Dependent Structure" (15A NCAC 02B .0202). Walking trails
comply with the desgn parameters for greenway, sidewalk, and trail uses. Fishing pier access complies with parameters
for pedestrian access trails to docks. The beach and the jetties are water dependent structures by their nature and are
"Allowable Upon Authorization". All of the proposed impacts are the minimum necessary to achieve compliance under
FERC mandates. A comprenhensive landscape plan further mitigates impacts to buffers (Sheets 13-18 of attached
plans).

Subject: Duke Energy - Proposed South Point Access Area Upgrades, on Lake Wylie, Catawba-
Wateree Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2232), located at 199 Boat Launch Road, in
Belmont, Gaston County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. McMullen:
On October 20, 2020, we received (via e-mail) your letter requesting our review of the proposed
South Point Access Area Upgrades project on Lake Wylie. We have reviewed the information
presented and the following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq.); the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 703); and
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
According to the information you presented, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC is proposing to enhance
the public recreation opportunities at the existing South Point Access Area. The proposed site is
adjacent to the South Point Access Area and is predominantly undeveloped and forested. The project
will consist of constructing picnic areas, walking trails, (2) docks, and a public swimming beach. An
approximately 70-car parking lot will also be constructed in the center of the site. Curb and gutter
will be used to direct storm -water in the parking lot to collection areas. The storm -water will then be
piped from the collection areas to a permanent raingarden.
Endangered Species. The project area contains suitable summer maternity roosting habitat and
is in close proximity to known occurrences (mist net captures) of northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis). The project will require the removal of trees that contain suitable summer
roosting habitat; however, proposed trail construction areas are not within 150-feet of a known
roost tree or within 1/4-mile of a known hibernacula. The final 4(d) rule (effective as of February
16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-eared bat for projects that occur greater than
0.25-miles from a known hibernacula or greater than 150-feet from a known maternity roost
during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). Based on the information provided, the project will
occur at a location where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt
under the 4(d) rule. Although not required, we encourage you to avoid any associated tree

2
clearing activities during the maternity roosting season from April 15 — October 15; and
especially during the period of June 1 — July 31 when pups are typically non-volant.
Additionally, we do not believe the project will have any effect on all other federally listed species
known to occur in Gaston County. Therefore, we believe the requirements under section 7(c) of the
Act have been fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if-
(1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect endangered or
threatened species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or
critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the action.
Storm -Water Control. Increased storm -water runoff directly damages aquatic and riparian habitat,
causing stream -bank and stream -channel scouring. In addition, impervious surfaces reduce
groundwater recharge, resulting in even lower than expected stream flows during drought periods,
which can induce potentially catastrophic effects for fish, mussels, and other aquatic life.
Accordingly, we recommend that all new developments, regardless of the percentage of impervious
surface area they will create, implement storm -water -retention and -treatment measures designed to
replicate and maintain the hydrograph at the preconstruction condition in order to avoid any
additional impacts to habitat quality within the watershed.
We recommend the use of low -impact -development techniques,' such as reduced road widths,
grassed swales in place of curb and gutter, rain gardens, and wetland retention areas, for retaining
and treating storm -water runoff rather than the more traditional measures, such as large retention
ponds, etc. These designs often cost less to install and significantly reduce environmental impacts
from residential development. We also recommend that the curb and gutter be redesigned with
openings to allow the water to first be directed into swales within the parking lot. The currently
proposed parking lot islands could be redesigned as swales to attenuate storm -water. The storm -
water would then be piped from the swales to the raingarden. The raingardens should be designed
large enough to control storm -water so that the predevelopment hydrograph of the site is not
changed. We also recommend that consideration be given to the use of pervious materials (i.e.,
pervious concrete, interlocking/open paving blocks, etc.) for the construction of roads, driveways,
sidewalks, etc. Pervious surfaces minimize changes to the hydrology of the watershed and can be
used to facilitate groundwater recharge. Pervious materials are also less likely to absorb and store
heat and allow the cooler soil below to cool the pavement. Additionally, pervious concrete requires
less maintenance and is less susceptible to freeze/thaw cracking due to large voids within the
concrete.
Pollinators. To offset the overall impacts of development and/or to increase the habitat and species
diversity within the project area, we further recommend the following measures be implemented into
project design:
Sow native seed mixes with plant species that are beneficial to pollinators wherever
feasible on the site. Taller -growing pollinator plant species should be planted around the
periphery of the site and anywhere on the site where mowing can be restricted during the
summer months. Taller plants, not mowed during the summer, would provide benefits to
'We recommend visiting the Environmental Protection Agency's Web site (http://www.epa.goLpolluted-runoff
nonpoint-source pollution/urban-runo -low-impact-development) for additional information and fact sheets
regarding the implementation of low -impact -development techniques.

pollinators, habitat to ground-nesting/feeding birds, and cover for small mammals.
Low-growing/groundcover native species should be planted in areas that need to be
maintained. This would provide benefits to pollinators while also minimizing the amount
of maintenance, such as mowing and herbicide treatment. Using a seed mix that includes
milkweed species (milkweed is an important host plant for monarch butterflies) is
especially beneficial. The following Web site provides a comprehensive list of native
plant species that benefit pollinators:

Additional information regarding plant species, seed mixes, and pollinator habitat
requirements can be provided upon request. We also offer our assistance with developing
seed mixes that can be used in conjunction with fast growing erosion control seed mix for
overall soil stability and pollinator benefits.
2. Provide nesting sites for pollinator species. Different pollinators have different needs for
nesting sites. Therefore, we recommend designing the area around the parking/access
area to maintain a diverse array of habitats to accommodate varied pollinators, from
hummingbirds to butterflies to bees. Hummingbirds typically nest in trees or shrubs while
many butterflies lay eggs on specific host plants. Most bees nest in the ground and in
wood or dry plant stems. For additional information and actions that can be taken to
benefit pollinators please visit the following Web site:
