on Lake In addition, lfwe have read and agree to comply with Duke Energy's Shoreline
Management Guidelines (SMG) and understand that written authorization must be obtained from Duke's
Lake Services' office prior to beginning any activity /construction within the Protect boundary. The
construction will be completed as described in the approved private facilities program application and within
twelve (12) months from the date of approval by Lake Services. Failure to complete construction within the
build -out period will require the applicant to file a new application within the then - current guidelines. The
filing will include any applicable fees and security deposits.
11we attest to be the owner or lease holder of the tract of land immediately adjoining the Project boundary
where the proposed facility is to be constructed.
I/we understand the physical location on my /our lot in relation to the common property line with Duke Energy,
the FERC Project boundary, and any deeded flood easements or required building setbacks.
I/we understand that this lake was constructed as a working hydropower reservoir for the primariy purpose of
producing cost - effective electric energy and that this remains as the lake's primary purpose. I /we understand
that the lake and its associated hydropower station are operated by DENA under the terms of a license issued
by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and that there will be no change in hydro project
operations as a result of the construction and/or use of any facilities that I /we may be allowed to place within
the FERC Protect boundary or on DENA -owned property.
Uwe understand that lake levels will rise and fail over time in response to weather events and hydro project
operations.

I/we acknowledge that DENA provides no guarantee of any specific quantities (except those identified in the
Low Inflow or Hydro Project Maintenance and Emergency Protocols) or quality of water in the lake
I /we acknowledge that DENA does -rot guarantee that an approved facility will always have efficient water
depth to be accessible by boat or for other water depth related recreation activities.
I/we understand -that the structures to be installed are my /our property and I/we therefore agree to be =fully
responsible for the permitted reservoir use including maintaining structures in good repair. If the facility is
deemed unsafe by a Lake Services Representative, I /we agree to - repair or - remove the facility at -my /our own
expense and within the specified timeframe. This responsibility is considered to transfer automatically along
with ownership and leases of the adjoining tract.
I/we understand that as an owner or lease holder of property directly adjacent to DENA's Project boundary
I /we enjoy the same rights and privileges for general recreational use and enjoyment of the Project lands and
waters as are afforded the general public. I /we understand that as an adjoining property owner I/we may, with
proper written approval, be considered for expanded privileges as specified in the DENA SMG.
Uwe understand that certain activities specified in the SMG are prohibited because of the DENA lakes small
size, environmental concerns, boating capacity limitations, safety considerations and other reasons.
Uwe understand that ownership /interest in a Common Use Facility eliminates the option for me /us to also have
a separate facility on any other lot within the affected subdivision that Uwe own or lease
I/we understand that Lake Services' approval of the requested reservoir use in no way constitutes assignment
of an interest in real property (i.e. land rights). The approval is granted and maintained solely at Duke's
discretion. I/we also understand that the permitted use may be revoked at any time by Duke Energy or its
successors for any reason whatsoever. If the approval is revoked, Uwe agree to remove the facility at my /our
own expense within the specified timeframe set by Lake Services.
I /we specifically waive any claim for consequential damages arising out of or relating to this application,
Duke's approval or denial of it, or Duke's subsequent revocation of approval, and Uwe specifically understand
and acknowledge that, because Duke Energy can revoke the permitted use at any time, I /we are not entitled to
reliance damages.
Uwe understand that there will be $o change in hydro project operations as a result of construction and/or
utilization of the permitted proposed structures.
Uwe understand that the proposed structure will be used only for the purposes described in the information
submitted to Lake Services and other appropriate governing bodies for approval.
Uwe understand that this lake is open for use by the general public and that maintaining safe and lawful public
use is one of the primary lake management objectives of DENA.
Uwe understand that the use for which we are applying is a private use and it should not interfere with the
general public's safe and lawful use of the lake
Uwe understand lake use permit holders have the authority to prevent others from trespassing on the structures
they have built. Uwe also understand that Uwe, however, do not have any authority to impede anyone from

pursuit of the lawful public recreation enjoyment of FERC Project lands and waters. Except as specified
otherwise in the SMG or other DENA documents (e.g. Public Safety Plans), anyone may fish around/under
structures built by others, may walk/wade /fish within the FERC Project boundary or any DENA -owned
peripheral strip, boat in the lake's waters, etc. without having to get anyone's permission to do so. Boaters may
not block ingress/egress to piers/docks
Uwe understand that every reasonable effort must be made to minimize any adverse impact on fish, wildlife,
and other natural resources
Uwe understand that trees and vegetation growing within the Project boundary play an important role in the
overall environmental condition of the lake. The ecological benefit the vegetation has on the fish and wildlife
habitat supports a sound and healthy lake environment. Uwe also understand that unauthorized removal of
shoreline vegetation (i.e. button bushes, willows, cattails, etc.) and/or disturbance of the shoreline buffer may
result in suspension or denial of lake use permitting requests and require me /us to re- establish the vegetation, if
the disturbance is found to be in violation of the state or county watershed buffer regulations or Duke Energy
Nantahala Area Vegetation Management Requirements
Uwe agree to notify Lake Services when construction is completed During the construction period, the
weather -proof "Duke Energy Approved Lake Use Activity" sign (to be provided by Lake Services) must be

recreational purposes.

Uwe agree not to allow any use of the adjacent property and will exercise due care and diligence to prevent all
other persons that are affiliated with my /our property (including invitees, family members, guests, etc.) to
