D &F Job Number: 010561.13
To Whom It May Concern:
Davis & Floyd, Inc. acting as Agent for Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC is pleased to submit the
following application for coverage under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) General Permit
No. 198200030 at the Lake Emory Access Area. Duke Energy is the owner of the property which
is part of the Franklin Dam Project (FERC No. 2603). This new boat ramp and fishing pier will be
used by the public to provide safe access and provide additional recreation opportunities on Lake
Emory. This Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) package is being submitted to NCDENR -DWQ
requesting 401 Water Quality Certification. The required application fee of $240 is enclosed.
The plans for the project have been reviewed and approved by Macon County, NC. Appropriate
best management practices will be utilized to control erosion during the project. All disturbed land
surfaces will be stabilized upon completion of the project.
Enclosed are five (5) sets of the completed PCN form with associated attachments and the
executed Agent Authorization Form that was submitted to the USACE. If you should have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can respond with any comments to the

D &F Job Number: 010561.13
Dear Mr. Brown:
Davis & Floyd, Inc. acting as Agent for Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC is pleased to submit the
following PCN application for coverage under USACE General Permit No. 198200030 at the Lake
Emory Access Area. Duke Energy is the owner of the property. This new boat ramp and fishing
pier will be used by the public to provide safe access and provide additional recreation
opportunities on Lake Emory. A portion of the boat ramp will be below the full pool level of the
lake. There will be riprap bank stabilization below the full pool level in front of the footing wall on
the fishing pier.
The project is within Duke Energy's Franklin Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 2603. As part of their
FERC Approved Recreation Management Plan, that was reviewed and approved by Federal,
State, Local agencies, and stakeholders on March 27, 2013, Duke Energy has agreed to make
improvement and upgrades. These improvements are part of Duke Energy's approved Recreation
Management Plan.
The General Permit 198200030 authorizes maintenance, repair, and construction activities in
Lake Emory which is a regulated lake. The quantities of materials below full pond level include: for
the Boat Ramp: new concrete for the boat ramp = 16.3 CY, crusher run = 6 CY, new riprap for
stabilization = 29.6 CY, new structural fill = 28 CY, Impact Area = 0.0466 acres. At the Fishing
Pier the quantities of materials below full pond level include: new concrete for wall and footing =
8.9 CY, new stone fill under riprap = 9.2 CY, new class B riprap for bank stabilization = 7.4 CY,
Impact Area = 0.005 acres. Total Impact for both boat ramp and fishing pier = — 0.0521 acres.

Lake Emory Access Area — Improvements (New Boat Ramp & Fishing Platform)
A. Application Information
2a. Name of Project: Lake Emory Access Area
3a. Names recorded on Deed: Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC)
B. Project Information and Prior Project History
133. Project Description:
3a.: Existing conditions at the site are the Lake Emory Access Area are undeveloped.
The public has been using the area to fish from the bank. There is currently no
public boat ramp or onshore fishing platform located on the site. The project site
area is bounded on the east by Lakeside Drive and north and west by wooded
and residential properties along Clyde Downs Road. Adjacent properties to the
east, west and south are lake front properties on Lake Emory.
3d.: The purpose of this project is to install a boat ramp and fishing pier along the
eastern shore of Lake Emory. The project is within Duke Energy's Franklin
Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 2603. As part of their FERC Approved
Recreation Management Plan that was reviewed and approved by Federal,
State, Local agencies, and stakeholders (issued on March 27, 2013), Duke
Energy has agreed to make improvements and upgrades to access areas on
Lake Emory. This new boat ramp and fishing pier will be used by the public to
provide more recreational opportunities and safe access on Lake Emory.
3e.: The project is to install (1) boat ramp, a gravel entrance road, and gravel parking
lot. Also to install a 10'x30' concrete fishing platform with an ADA concrete path
from the parking lot. The project is within Duke Energy's FERC No. 2603. As
part of their FERC Approved Recreation Management Plan that was reviewed
and approved by Federal, State, Local agencies, and stakeholders (issued on
March 27, 2013), Duke Energy has agreed to make improvements and upgrades
to access areas on Lake Emory. A 16 -foot wide concrete boat ramp will be
installed over class B riprap and stone. The utility wants a water depth of about
9 -feet at the end of the boat ramp. Using the maximum recommended grade
(15 %) for the ramp will require the ramp to be about 40 feet in length into the
water to achieve the desired depth. The concrete fishing platform will be
constructed on land and will not impact the lake. Construction sequencing will
include 1) clearing for and installation of perimeter sediment & erosion controls,
2) clearing & grubbing, 3) rough grading using motor - grader or dozer, 4)
construction of boat ramp embankment using track -hoe type equipment to place
and compact riprap to desired shape, 5) construct boat ramp and fishing platform

on land, 6) placement and compaction of graded aggregate base course surface
using appropriate grading and compacting equipment, 7) final grading and
landscaping stabilization, and 8) removal of sediment controls. Appropriate
grading equipment will be utilized to prepare the area. Appropriate sediment and
erosion protection best management practices (BMPs) will be utilized to protect
the waters of Lake Emory. Approvals for land disturbance activities permits have
been be obtained from Macon County as required.
C. Proposes Impacts Inventory
4. Open Water Impacts
4g. The General Permit 198200030 authorizes maintenance, repair, and
construction activities in Lake Emory which is regulated by Duke Energy.
The quantities of materials below full pond level include:
At new Boat Ramp:
New concrete boat ramp = 16.3 CY
New crusher run = 6 CY
New class B riprap for stabilization = 29.6 CY
New structural fill = 28 CY
Impact Area = 0.0466 acres
At new3 Fishing Pier:
New concrete for wall and footing = 8.9 CY
New stone under riprap = 9.2 CY
New riprap for bank stabilization = 7.4 CY
Impact Area = 0.0055 acres.
Total Impact Area = 0.0521 acres
E. Stormwater Management & Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWQ)
3. Certified Local Government Review
3b.: Macon County has jurisdiction for land disturbance activities. Approvals for land
disturbance activities have been applied for with Macon County. They have
reviewed the project plans and provisionally approved. Final approval by Macon
County can only be made after the contractor has been chosen. All approvals will
be obtained prior to beginning the project. A Land Disturbance Permit Application
and a Permit Application For Development in Special Flood Hazard Areas have
been submitted to Macon County.

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5d.: Mr. Mark Cantrell of the USFWS Asheville Field Office was contacted concerning
improvements at the Lake Emory projects. Per a telephone conversation on
August 21, 2013, he said he had reviewed plans for the improvements on Lake
Emory as well as the survey for threatened & endangered species on the
Franklin Dam project and concluded the Lake Emory Access Area project will
have no effect on any threatened or endangered species nor will it constitute an
adverse modification of critical habitat. The Virginia spirea (Spirea virginiana)
plant was not found where the boat ramp or fishing pier are is to be located. His
main concern was for the contractor to protect the lake waters from the concrete
work for the new boat ramp and fishing pier and that strict sediment and erosion
control protection measures be utilized to protect the lake waters.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7b.: Improvements are at an existing dam project area. We do not believe there are
any cultural resource issues with the property. It is Duke Energy's policy and
federal law mandates that if any historic or cultural resources are discovered
during construction, then all construction activities will immediately cease. All
appropriate individuals and agencies will then be notified.
