RE: Duke Energy Nantahala to Santeetlah 161 KV Transmission Line Rebuild
Dear Mr. Dorney,
A World of Solutions"
Duke Energy proposes to rebuild their existing 161 KV transmission line from Nantahala to
Robbinsville to Santeetlah, a total of 18.84 miles. The rebuild is to begin at the Nantahala
Switchyard and will end at the Santeetlah Switchyard. The start date for construction
at Nantahala is tentatively scheduled for January, 2007, with construction from Robbinsville to
Santeetlah tentatively scheduled for January, 2008.
The existing 161 KV transmission line is to be rebuilt utilizing 230KV standards, galvanized
lattice steel towers with bundled (two conductors per bundle) 795 KCM 26/7 ACSR conductor.
The existing Fiber Optic Overhead Ground Wire (OPGW) attached to this line is to be replaced
with new fiber cable. The existing OPGW is to remain in service until the new OPGW can be
installed and commissioned. In order to maintain OPGW service during construction, a temporary
line is to be constructed on the Northeast side, fifty (50) feet from and parallel to the existing
transmission line utilizing galvanized steel poles. The existing OPGW is to be transferred from the
existing transmission line to the temporary line in order to facilitate the line rebuild. Upon
completion of the line rebuild, the OPGW will be transferred to the new line and the temporary
line will be removed.
I have enclosed a copy of the Environmental Assessment that has been presented to Alcoa for
their approval which includes the Regulatory Agency contacts and comments associated with this
project. Upon your review, please provide your written comments and any questions to me at the
address below or email to buddy.mauney(a~shawgrp.com within thirty (30) days from receipt of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Tyae of Action
To ensure an adequate supply of reliable electrical energy in the Robbinsville, NC region for the
foreseeable future, Duke Energy proposes to rebuild its existing, 18.8-mile long Nantahala-Santeetlah
161 kV transmission line on the existing right-of-way. The line runs from the Nantahala Hydroelectric
Plant in Macon County, NC to a Duke Energy substation in Robbinsville, and continues to a TVA tie
station near the Santeetlah Powerhouse in Graham County. This report focuses on the effects the
planned rebuild of the 10.6-mile long Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the line rebuild project,
which includes the area where the right-of-way resides on property owned by the Tapoco Division of
Alcoa Power Generating, Inc. (Figures 1.0 through 1.11).
Description of the Action
The Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the existing Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV line is scheduled
to be rebuilt between March and November 2008. Road construction that is necessary to accomplish
the line rebuild project must be completed before the actual line replacement begins; therefore, Duke
Energy proposes to begin road work in the spring of 2007 in order to have stable roadbeds and
vegetated slopes prior to line construction. The total length of the line to be rebuilt between Duke
Energy's substation at Robbinsville and TVA's tie station near the Santeetlah Powerhouse is 10.6-
miles, of which 7.07-miles is across the Tapoco Project. The Tapoco Project (number 2169) is
licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC").
The existing Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the line to be removed utilizes forty-five (45) lattice
steel towers that average approximately 130' in height (Figure 2); the proposed line will utilize forty-
one (41) lattice steel towers that will average 148.6' in height (Figure 3). On Tapoco land, thirty-four
(34) existing towers will be replaced by thirty-one (31) new towers. The upgraded towers will utilize
"darkened" steel to significantly reduce their visibility when viewed against vegetated backdrops.
Also, the new conductor will be "non-specular" to reduce visual recognition. The line to be removed
utilizes standard, galvanized steel towers and standard conductor.
Duke Energy proposes to construct approximately 0.8-miles of new access roads on Tapoco property
and upgrade approximately 5.5-miles of existing roads. All roads will either be unpaved or gravel
paved, depending on roadway gradient, and will be gated as directed by Tapoco. The locations of the
proposed new and upgraded roads are shown on Figures 1.0 through 1.11.
1

In most cases, new towers will be placed as close as possible to the existing ones they will replace.
Existing towers will be disassembled and removed, except for the direct buried portions below ground
level, which will be cut off at, or bent to, ground level.
Summary of Environmental Impacts
No new right-of-way clearing will be required to accomplish the line rebuild project. The most
significant environmental risk potential associated with this project is from sedimentation to streams
from land disturbing activities associated with new access road construction, placement of new tower
sites, and removal of existing tower sites. This risk, however, is extremely low due to the following
reasons:
1. Construction activities will essentially be limited to ridges and, thus, will not be close to waters;
2. No new stream crossings will be built for this project.
3. Much of the construction access will occur on existing roadbeds and logging roads that will be
upgraded and improved. The improvements to existing roads will include repairs to any road
surface areas or road ditches that are currently eroding.
4. Duke Energy will implement rigorous erosion control prevention measures throughout the
entire project.
5. No rare, threatened, or endangered species are at risk from this project.

Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line Rebuild Project
(Robbinsville-Santeetlah Segment)
1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1 Background
The Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line originates at Duke Energy's Nantahala Hydroelectric Plant in
Macon County, runs to a Duke Energy substation in Robbinsville, and terminates at TVA's tie station
near the Santeetlah Powerhouse in Graham County, which is a total distance of 18.8-miles. The
Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the line is 10.6-miles in length. The existing line was built in the
1940's by Tapoco, Inc., and later conveyed to Duke Energy as part of the sale of Nantahala Power
and Light Company. Duke Energy plans to rebuild the entire Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line, and
this environmental assessment evaluates the 10.6-mile long segment of the rebuild project that runs
from Duke Energy's Robbinsville Substation to TVA's tie station. More specifically, this report
describes the environmental effects that will result on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
licensed Tapoco Project.
1.2 Purpose
To provide adequate electrical capacity and improve service reliability to Robbinsville, NC and the
surrounding area, Duke Energy plans to replace its existing Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line. The
existing line is single-circuit construction on lattice steel towers that was constructed in the 1940's.
The existing structures are obsolete and inconsistent with the standard transmission line structures
now used by Duke Energy throughout its service territory. The new line will be double-circuit
construction on lattice steel towers and will have more than double the electrical carrying capacity as
the existing line to be replaced. It is projected that the new line will serve the electrical energy needs
of the Robbinsville region for more than 25-years and, additionally, the service reliability will be
significantly improved due to the double-circuit design.
1.3 Proposed Activities
The Nantahala-Santeetlah Line will be rebuilt in phases starting with the section from Nantahala
Hydroelectric Plant to the Robbinsville Substation, which will be constructed between March 2007 and
November 2007. During construction of the new line, an existing fiber optic line on the existing
structures will be placed on temporary poles along the edge of the line right-of-way. When the new
3

towers are in place, the fiber optic line will be attached to them and the wooden poles at the edge of
the right-of--way will be removed.
The portion of the line from Nantahala Hydroelectric Plant to the Robbinsville Substation is not located
on Tapoco Project lands, and is therefore not covered in this report. The segment of the line from the
Robbinsville Substation to the TVA tie station near the Santeetlah Powerhouse, a distance of 10.6
miles, will be rebuilt between March 2008 and November 2008; however, access road construction
will begin in the spring of 2007 in order to have stable roadbeds and vegetated slopes prior to line
construction. This construction sequencing is necessary to maintain electric service to Robbinsville
and the surrounding region since only one line segment (e.g., Nantahala-Robbinsville or Robbinsville-
Santeetlah)can be taken out of service at a time for rebuilding.
The Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the line crosses the Tapoco Project for 7.07-miles of its
10.6-mile length. More specifically, the line runs in a westerly direction from Robbinsville, NC,
crosses the Santeelah Reservoir, turns northwesterly near the Santeetlah Dam, and runs parallel with
the tunnel/pipeline to the TVA tie station near the Santeetlah Powerhouse adjacent to the Cheoah
Reservoir (Figure 1.0).
The proposed action consists of rebuilding the existing Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line. The
existing Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the line to be removed utilizes forty-five (45) lattice steel
towers that average approximately 130' in height (Figure 2); the rebuilt line will utilize forty-one (41)
lattice steel towers that will average 148.6' in height (Figure 3). On Tapoco land, thirty-four (34)
existing towers will be replaced by thirty-one (31) new towers. The upgraded towers will utilize
"darkened" steel to significantly reduce their visibility when viewed against vegetated backdrops.
Also, the new conductor will be "non-specular" to reduce visual recognition. The line to be removed
utilizes standard, galvanized steel towers and standard conductor. Duke Energy proposes to
construct approximately 0.8-miles of new access roads on Tapoco property and upgrade
approximately 5.5-miles of existing roads. All roads will either be unpaved or gravel paved,
depending on roadway gradient, and will be gated as directed by Tapoco. The locations of the
proposed new and upgraded roads are shown on Figures 1 through 1.11.
In most cases, new towers will be placed as close as possible to the existing ones they will replace.
Existing towers will be disassembled and removed, except for the direct buried portions below ground
level, which will be cut off at, or bent to, ground level. A summary of tower placements is shown in

Careful planning was conducted by experienced professionals to layout proposed new road locations
that optimize length and grading factors. Where practical, old logging roads will be upgraded and
utilized. Where new roads are required, care was taken to align them to minimize cut and fill slopes
and to take advantages of ridges wherever possible. Additionally, special measures have been taken
to avoid stream and wetland crossings with access roads. No new roads will cross streams on the
Tapoco Project and no wetlands will be affected by road construction. Information concerning new
access roads required and existing access roads to be upgraded is shown in Table 2:

Duke Energy proposes to begin access road work on the Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the
project during the spring of 2007 to allow total stabilization of disturbed areas prior to road usage by
construction traffic when line rebuild work begins in March 2008. New access roads and existing
roadbeds requiring improvements will, in most cases, be stoned, side-sloped and rolling dips will be
used to avoid concentrated runoff flows from roadbeds. Various techniques including check dams, silt
fences and sediment traps will be employed to reduce the potential for concentrated flows from rolling
dips; slope drains will be used in special cases to avoid flows across fill slopes. Erosion control
matting will be used on fill slopes to enhance stabilization prior to seed germination, and all disturbed
areas will be sown within 10-days of the completion of land-disturbing activities in each specific area.
Silt fences will be used around land disturbing activities at tower sites and crane pads; rock outlets will
be used in conjunction with silt fences where the upslope area is large enough to risk the integrity of
the silt fences. Erosion control inspections will be performed weekly and within 24 hours of a storm
event exceeding 0.5 inches. Any problems noted during inspections will be corrected within 7-days.

No new right-of--way will be cleared for this project. The existing right-of-way has been maintained by
mowing and selective use of herbicides.
1.4 Property Ownership
The existing right-of-way for the Robbinsville-Santeelah line segment varies from 200-225 feet wide.
The right-of-way traverses various properties (individual properties, commercial properties, church
properties, etc.), U.S. Forest Service properties, and Tapoco, Inc. properties within the FERC project
boundary of the Tapoco Hydroelectric Project. No other federal or Bureau of Indian Affairs associated
properties are crossed by the Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the line; however, in addition to
U.S. Forest Service lands, NC Department of Transportation's and Eastern Band of the Cherokees
properties are crossed by the Nantahala-Robbinsville segment of the line. Property owners have
been contacted to review right-of-way agreements and access needs. Robbinsville Substation is
located between survey station 430+00 and 434+75 (Figure 1.1) and the Santeetlah Substation is
located at 994+80 (Figure 1.11), a distance of approximately 10.6 miles. Property ownership along
6

the line, excluding road right-of-way, based on centerline survey stationing of the right-of-way, is as
follows (see Figures 1.1 to 1.11):

2.0 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
2.1 No Action Alternative
The no action alternative or "do nothing" option is not viable. The Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line
is the only electrical energy source for the Robbinsville, NC region, and the existing line to be
upgraded is nearing its current carrying capacity. Moreover, the existing line is asingle-circuit line
and does not offer the switching options that will be possible with the upgraded, double-circuit line;
thus, the reliability of electrical service in the Robbinsville region will be significantly improved by the
proposed action.
2.2 Alternative Line Routes
Abandoning the existing line's right-of-way in favor of a new route is not a viable option. The existing
corridor for the Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line includes right-of-way that is owned by Duke Energy
over 17.09-miles of its total 18.81-mile length (the remaining distance is where the line crosses U.S.
Forest Service lands under a Special Use Permit). Any alternate route would likely be longer and
would likely affect a greater amount of land since the existing corridor traverses the shortest
distances, essentially, between the Nantahala Hydroelectric Plant and the Robbinsville Substation
and from there to the tie station near the Santeetlah Powerhouse. The development of any alternate
route would result in dramatically increased environmental effects since right-of-way clearing would be
required, and the amount of access road construction would be vastly increased. Additionally, to
abandon existing right-of--way over private property in favor of new right-of-way in a different location
over the same and/or additional property owners would almost certainly result in Duke Energy's
inability to acquire right-of-way to serve the same purpose over a property owner's objection.
2.3 Underground Line Construction
Placing the Line underground is not a viable option due to cost and reliability issues. Overhead and
state-of-the-art underground 161 kV transmission lines are comparable in terms of reliability; however,
they are very unequal with regard to the time required to make repairs. Overhead 161 kV
transmission lines can usually be repaired in hours or in worst cases, days. Repairing underground
161 kV transmission lines sometimes takes weeks or in worst cases, months, and this becomes a
reliability concern.
The risk associated with underground 161 kV lines having to be out of service for a long period of time
to make repairs is unacceptable to Duke Energy and its customers. This risk can sometimes be
reduced by installing two lines rather than one, i.e. a primary and a redundant cable. One line---the
primary line---is energized continuously and the second line would be a spare in case the primary line
8

fails. The estimated cost of the overhead Nantahala-Santeetlah Line is $38,000,000; to place a
double-circuit 161 kV line underground in mountainous terrain would be 12-15 times the cost of the
overhead construction or, in this case, approximately '/z billion dollars. This is not a justifiable cost
that could be passed along to Duke Energy's rate payers.
2.4 Helicopter Installation
Rebuilding of the line using helicopters as opposed to conventional construction techniques was
reviewed but rejected because of the critical need to develop satisfactory vehicular access to each
structure site because of the following reasons:
1. The need to revisit construction sites multiple times during several construction phases
(removal of the existing towers, construction of a temporary fiber optic line, construction of the
new towers, relocating the fiber line to the new towers, removal of the temporary fiber optic
line, etc.);
2. The need to establish permanent vehicular access to the line for routine right-of-way
maintenance, line maintenance, and emergency work (access to the existing line is currently
inadequate);
Because of the need to build access roads to structure sites, helicopter construction offered no
advantage.
2.5 Selected Alternative
Duke Energy proposes to replace the existing Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line on its existing right-
of-way and locate new structures as close as possible to existing ones that will be removed.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
3.1 Methodology
This report documents the findings of a biological resources investigation performed as part of a
natural resource inventory of the Robbinsville-Santeetlah 161 kV existing right-of-way and proposed
access routes. As part of this investigation, botanical communities, rare species, streams crossed by
the line, wetlands within the right-of-way, roads in need of improvement, new roads, existing tower
sites, and new tower sites on the proposed route were investigated during May, June, and August of
2006. NC Natural Heritage sites, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service records, and information from hydro
relicensing studies associated with the Tapoco Project (FERC License No. 2169) were reviewed.
All new access roads were surveyed on foot. Existing access roads were sampled on foot and by
vehicle where possible. Selected images of the corridor and tower sites were collected by digital
camera. Notes were taken on the flora and vegetation at existing and new roads, on forest stands
adjacent to the existing corridor, and on the existing and proposed tower sites.
3.2 Existing Environment
The project is located in Graham County, North Carolina and extends from the town of Robbinsville
(at the Robbinsville Substation) to Lake Cheoah near the North Carolina-Tennessee line (at TVA's tie
station), a distance of approximately 10.6 miles. The line is located in the Blue Ridge Physiographic
Province of NC and ranges in elevation from approximately 1300 feet-msl near Cheoah Reservoir to
2940 feet-msl near Kirkland Gap in the Yellow Creek Mountains.
3.3 Botanical Communities
The following six major plant communities could be potentially impacted by the project:
1. NON-FORESTED SUCCESSIONAL COMMUNITIES;
2. PITCH PINE-MIXED HARDWOODS;
3. XERIC MIXED HARDWOODS;
4. SHORLEAF PINE-MIXED HARDWOODS;
5. MESIC MIXED HARDWOOD-WHITE PINE; AND
6. COVE MIXED HARDWOODS.
Detailed plant community descriptions are discussed below
10

NON-FORESTED SUCCESSIONAL COMMUNITIES
Having been previously cleared and maintained as anon-forested right-of--way, this type includes
early successional species such as blackberries (Rubus spp.), sumac (Rhus spp.), goldenrods
(Solidago spp.), Joe Pye weed (Eupatorium maculatum and Eupatorium fistulosum), and sunflowers
(Helianthus spp.) are abundant with sprouting xeric and mesic site woody species such as mountain
laurel (Kalmia latifolia), black cherry (Prunus serotina), Hercules club (Aralia spinosa), and red maple
(Acerrubrum) also common dominants. On shallow soils and in disturbed areas, mullein (Verbascum
spp.) was common; in pastures, fescue (Festuca pratensis), thistle (Carduus spp.), Queen Anne's
lace (Daucus carota), and dock (Rumex spp.) were common.
PITCH PINE-MIXED HARDWOODS
This plant community type is generally dominated by pitch pine (Pinus rigida), scarlet oak (Quercus
coccinea), chestnut oak (Quercus montana), black oak (Quercus velutina) and sometimes white pine
(Pinus strobus) in the canopy, with sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), mountain laurel (Kalmia
latifolia), and buckberry (Gaylussacia ursina) in the understory and shrub layers.
XERIC MIXED HARDWOODS
This plant community type is similar to the above type but has no pine in the canopy. This absence
probably results from the absence of fire in the community's history. Scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea),
chestnut oak (Quercus montana), and, rarely, black oak (Quercus velutina) occur in the canopy, with
sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), and buckberry (Gaylussacia
ursina) occurring in the understory and shrub layers.
SHORLEAF PINE-MIXED HARDWOODS
In the Santeetlah Lake area at lower elevations, stands dominated by shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata),
southern red oak (Quercus falcata), white oak (Quercus a/ba), and hickories (Carya spp.) were found.
These stands are more similar to Piedmont pine-mixed hardwoods than montane forests.
MESIC MIXED HARDWOODS-WHITE PINE
This type is relatively rare along the corridor. It is dominated by white oak (Quercus alba), red maple
(Acer rubrum), red oak (Quercus rubra), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and white pine (Pinus
strobus). Denser areas of white pine probably result from the logging of this community.
11

COVE MIXED HARDWOODS
The cove mixed hardwoods type is rare along the Robbinsville-Santeetlah section of the corridor.
Where present, this type includes tulip poplar-, northern red oak (Quercus rubra)-, and basswood
(Tilia heterophylla)-dominated coves. Here, in north-facing coves, tulip poplar, basswood, red oak,
red maple, sweet birch (Betula lenta), silverbell (Halesia Carolina) (or a combination thereof), and
heath species (Rhododendron spp.) are common. To the northeast of existing Towers 6-10, a rich
cove with basswood, Vasey's trillium (Trillium vasey~), doll's-eye (Actaea pachypoda), and tripartite
violet (Viola tripartite) was found below the corridor. Access to these towers, however, will follow
existing roads above the cove. A drier cove was encountered near existing Towers 23 and 24. Here,
royal fern (Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis), cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea), and serrate-
leaved skullcap (Scutellaria serrate) were common with scattered rich-site cove species.
3.4 Aquatic Animal Habitats and Communities
Waters along the proposed rebuild include lotic habitat for brook, brown, and rainbow trout,
smallmouth bass, blacknose dace, hellbenders, and various mussels, among others. Lentic habitat
for warmwater species such as sunfish, crappie, and largemouth bass; coolwater species such as
smallmouth bass and walleye; and Coldwater species such as rainbow and brown- trout occurs in
Santeetlah Reservoir. Wetland habitats for a variety of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals
occur in the floodplain of the Cheoah River, Yellow Creek, and Yellow Creek bog. The streams
provide habitat for a diverse assemblage of macroinvertebrates. Several aquatic species of federal
protection status occur in the area of the proposed rebuild (Section 3.6).
Tables 5 and 6, following, provide information on the wetlands and waters along the route of the
Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line:

3.5 Terrestrial Wildlife
The right-of-way and associated access road corridors provide early succession habitat for a variety
of terrestrial wildlife. This is especially important habitat in heavily forested areas. Early succession
vegetation is important for feeding and nesting areas for many bird species, as well as feeding areas
for black bear, whitetail deer and wild turkeys.
3.6 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species
No state or federally-listed plant or animal species or habitat for such species was found in the
existing transmission line right-of-way, along existing access roads, or along the route of proposed
new access roads during the biological investigation on the Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the
Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line. Two North Carolina state-listed plant species were found in coves
near, but not on, the Robbinsville-Santeetlah right-of--way. They are showy skullcap (Scutellaria
serrata) and ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). Both are on the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program's "Watch List" (Franklin and Finnegan, 2004). Neither will be impacted by construction of the
access roads or construction at the tower sites.
13

Megaceros aenigmaticus is a hornwort (closely related to the liverworts) listed as "significantly rare-
peripheral" by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. It occurs on rocks in small, shaded
streams in the vicinity of the project area. This species was not on the line right-of-way or on any
proposed road alignment locations; thus, its habitat will not be affected by the project.
The Appalachian elktoe is listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NC Wildlife
Resources Commission. It is known to occur at several locations in the Cheoah River below
Santeetlah Dam, but in no other places in the vicinity of the project. The Cheoah River downstream of
Santeetlah Dam is a federally designated, critical habitat for this mussel.
The Indiana bat is federally-listed as endangered in North Carolina. Suitable summer roosting and
foraging habitat for the bat exists in the vicinity of the Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line. Two Indiana
bats were recently captured in a mist-net located in the upper Santeetlah Creek drainage in Graham
County. Direct effects to the Indiana bat could occur if a roosting tree is cut between April 15 and
October 15.
Virginia spiraea is listed as "threatened" by the Fish and Wildlife Service and "endangered" by the
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (Franklin, 2006). Virginia spiraea is a fragile, branching
shrub with cream-colored flowers. It is from two to ten feet tall, has arching upright stems, and flowers
in June and July. It is found in disturbed areas along rivers and streams. Flood scouring is essential
to this plant's survival because flooding inhibits arboreal competition and washes away many
competing herbs and vines. Virginia spiraea can also be found along slow changing, dependable
riparian areas such as meander scrolls and point bars, natural levees, and braided features of lower
stream reaches. The plant prefers open areas with direct sunlight. Competition from surrounding
vegetation, inundation, and clearing vegetation in the riparian area are major threats to this species.
The Junaluska salamander (Eurycea junaluska) is an aquatic to semi-aquatic salamander that
inhabits mid-sized to large streams and rivers in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina; it is
a candidate for listing through the Endangered Species Act. In the National Forests in North Carolina,
it is limited to Santeetlah Creek, Snowbird Creek, and the Cheoah River, downstream of Santeetlah
Lake. A historic record is from Tulula Creek.
Previous studies (The Nature Conservancy, 1999) conducted in the Robbinsville-Santeetlah area
have found the federally-listed ("threatened") Virginia spiraea (spiraea virginiana) on the Cheoah
River, the state-listed ("threatened") and of concern federally Junaluska salamander (Eurycea
junaluska) in streambeds, the state-listed ("significantly rare-peripheral") Cumberland azalea
14

(Rhododendron cumberlandense) on a cliff along U. S. Highway 129, and the state-listed
("significantly rare") Baltimore checkerspot (Euphydryas phaeton) in Yellow Creek Bog. None of
these species was found during the inventory of tower sites, along proposed new access roads, roads
requiring improvements, or along the margins of the right-of--way.
3.T Anticipated Impacts
3.7.1 Botanical Communities
The dominant botanical community of the area impacted by the rebuilding of the Robbinsville-
Santeetlah 161 kV line segment is the early succession, non-forested communities of the right-of-way
and existing roadbeds that need improving. These communities are primarily less than 10-years old.
In the transmission right-of-way, past maintenance practices have included selectively treating trees
with herbicides on an approximately 4-year cycle. Here, early successional species such as
blackberries (Rubus spp.), sumac (Rhus spp.), goldenrods (Solidago spp.), Joe Pye weed
(Eupatorium maculatum and Eupatorium fistulosum), and sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) are abundant
with sprouting xeric and mesic site woody species such as mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), Hercules
club (Aralia spinosa), black cherry (Prunus serotina), and red maple (Acer rubrum). This subtype will
be temporarily impacted by tower construction and crane pads. With the exception of the existing
right-of-way, few early successional communities exist surrounded by a large area of mature, xeric
and mesic hardwood and .mixed pine-hardwood forests.
Approximately 0.02 acres will be disturbed for each crane pad and approximately 0.26 acres for each
new tower foundation. A total of four new tower sites (one within the Tapoco Project boundary)
require separate crane pads (and foundation excavation) that are remote from existing towers
(Figures 1.1 to 1.11). Seven towers (four on Tapoco) will be removed without replacement, and 37
sites occur where existing towers will be removed and new towers will be replaced from the same
crane pads (30 on Tapoco). Foundations of existing towers will not be removed, but any steel
protruding above the ground surface will be bent to the surface or cut off. The amount of non-forested
early succession vegetation disturbed for tower site related activities on the Robbinsville-Santeetlah
segment of the Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line rebuild project is estimated at 11.76-acres (8.86-
acres on Tapoco). An itemized list of tower construction activities on the entire Robbinsville-
Santeetlah line segment and within the Tapoco Project is shown in Table 7.

Approximately 6.4-miles (5.5-miles in the Tapoco Project) of existing roadbeds will be improved to
accommodate line construction activities; these roads will require minor clearing, reshaping,
installation of rolling dips, and, in most cases, stoning. An estimated average road width of 15-feet
(including extra widths for curves) will be disturbed to improve these roads. Approximately 1.6-miles
(0.8-miles on Tapoco) of new roads will be necessary for this project. Here, an estimated 30-foot
wide disturbance will be required for the roadbed and associated cut and fill slopes. An itemized list
of estimated disturbance associated with access road development is shown in Table 8.
Table 8: Summary of Acreage Associated with Road Work
Location Existing Roadbeds `New Roads '
Total 11.64 acres 5.82 acres
Ta oco Project 10.0 acres 2.91 acres
All of the land disturbing activities associated with tower removal and installation will occur in the non-
forested early succession plant community. Likewise, virtually all .land disturbing activity associated
with upgrading existing roadbeds will occur in this plant community. Additionally, many of the new
roads will occur in the right-of-way and, therefore, will affect the non-forested plant community. These
disturbances will be seeded with grasses and forties and, in several years, will revert back to roughly
the same community composition that currently exists. Of the approximately 257-acres of right-of-way
from the Robbinsville Substation to TVA's tie station near the Santeetlah Powerhouse, approximately
22-acres will be temporarily disturbed by construction activities. A slight increase in non-forested,
early succession communities will occur from the construction of new roads through forested areas.
No long-term impacts to the existing managed plant communities are expected from this action.
New access roads will be built through the shortleaf pine-mixed hardwood in the vicinity of new tower
numbers 38 and 46 (Figures 1.1 and 1.3), xeric mixed hardwoods near tower 45 (Figure 1.3), and
mesic mixed hardwood-white pine types in the vicinity of towers 50 and 75 (Figures 1.5 and 1.11).
Some of the shortleaf pine-mixed hardwood and mesic mixed hardwood-white pine types have been
selectively logged to remove the pines. Approximately 2,100-feet of new roads will be built through
the shortleaf pine-mixed hardwood type; 100 feet through the xeric mixed hardwood type; and 3,000
16

feet through the mesic mixed hardwood-white pine type. None of these types are uncommon or
support special plant communities. No road will be built in the cove mixed hardwood or the pitch pine-
mixed hardwood types; therefore the planned action will have no significant impact on forest
communities of the area.
3.7.2 Aquatic Animal Habitats and Communities
The Cheoah River, Santeetlah Lake, several streams, and one bog are spanned by the Robbinsville-
Santeetlah 161 kV Line. Along streams and the bog, no new culverts will be installed and no earth-
moving work will occur close to the waters. Existing roads and culverts will be used to cross Yellow
Creek Bog along the corridor. Yellow Creek Bog, which extends from survey markers 874+80 to
878+60, was flagged with wetland boundary ribbon to ensure that construction crews will keep
equipment out of the bog area.
The Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the line crosses Sweetwater Creek, an unnamed tributary to
Cheoah River, Cheoah River (3 crossings), Santeetlah Lake (6 crossings of coves), an unnamed
tributary to Santeetlah Lake, and Yellow Creek; an access road crosses Rickman Branch at an
existing culvert. Because tower locations are primarily located on ridges and side-slopes, stream
channel crossings can be largely avoided, and tower excavation and construction activities have wide
vegetative buffers to further enhance protection of waters from construction activities. No additional
right-of-way will be cleared for this project; therefore, most land-disturbing activities will occur well
away from waters. Since most streams are classified as trout waters and, in the case of Sweetwater
Creek, which is classified as a Critical Area for a water intake, water quality protection is very
important.
New access roads and existing roadbeds requiring improvements will be side-sloped and rolling dips
will be used to avoid concentrated flows from roadbeds. Various techniques including check dams,
silt fences and sediment traps will be employed to reduce the potential for concentrated flows from
rolling dips; slope drains will be used in special cases to avoid flows across steeper fill slopes.
Erosion control matting will be used on fill slopes to enhance stabilization prior to seed germination,
and all disturbed areas will be sown within 10-days of the completion of land-disturbing activities in
each specific area. Silt fences will be used around land disturbing activities at tower sites and crane
pads; rock outlets will be used in conjunction with silt fences where the upslope area is large enough
to risk the integrity of the silt fences. Erosion control inspections will be performed weekly and within
24 hours of a storm event exceeding 0.5 inches. Problems noted during inspections will be corrected
within 7 days. Because of the erosion control measures Duke Energy will utilize and the extensive
17

natural vegetation filters between construction activities and waters, no measurable sediment should
reach waters.
Upgrading existing roads, especially by seeding and stoning, will reduce any existing erosion. The
potential risk to affect waters by sedimentation is very unlikely due to planning to eliminate water
crossings with roads, the location of most land disturbing activities away from waters, proposed
sediment control measures, and upgrading existing roads. Therefore, the risk to aquatic animals is
minimal.
3.7.3 Terrestrial Wildlife
Since the construction of the transmission line corridor in the early 1940's, approximately 257 acres
has been maintained as early successional habitat in a 5-20 year old state by mowing, use of
chainsaws, and (recently) by selective herbicides. This corridor has created excellent habitat for
breeding and foraging by species of early successional habitats such as the rufous-sided towhee and
more marginal habitat for the ruffed grouse. The re-clearing of 11.76 acres (8.86 on the Tapoco
project) for tower construction and old tower removal, 11.64 acres (10.0 on Tapoco) for access roads,
and the clearing of 5.82 acres (2.91 on Tapoco) of upland woods and early succession, non-forested
areas for new road construction will result in no significant long-term changes to the early succession
habitat in the area.
The early successional communities of the existing right-of-way and its margins provide herbaceous
and woody soft mast-producing species (particularly Rubus spp. and other plants in the rose family).
The maintenance and minor expansion of these habitats can only benefit this special habitat and the
species that use it. Temporary impacts from re-clearing for new tower construction, old tower
removal, and existing roads to be improved should be a minor enhancement to species utilizing soft
mast such as black bear and ruffed grouse.
In hard-mast habitats associated with the project, the xeric hardwoods include scarlet oak (Quercus
coccinea), chestnut oak (Quercus montana), and, occasionally, black oak (Quercus velutina) in the
canopy. The shortleaf pine-mixed hardwood hard mast types include shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata),
southern red oak (Quercus falcata), white oak (Quercus alba), and hickories (Carya spp.). Because
these types are often found on ridges where some access roads are to be built, there will be some
impact to this forest type. Roughly 0.07 acres of the xeric mixed hardwoods and 1.45 acres of the
shortleaf pine-mixed hardwood type will be disturbed from new road clearing.
18

Also affected by new road construction is the more mesic community dominated by white oak
(Quercus albs), red maple (Acer rubrum), red oak (Quercus rubra), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera), and white pine (Pinus strobus). Much of this community type has recently been selectively
cut with the white pine being removed. Roughly 2.07 acres of this type will be disturbed by new road
construction.
Because the existing landscape is dominated by pine and mixed hardwoods, especially adjacent to
the Tapoco Project, the impact to hard mast species and subsequent impact to gray squirrels, black
bear, whitetail deer, and wild turkey will be minimal.
Few grass-forb openings exist in the analysis area. The early successional communities are
generally dominated by woody species with the exception of a few high coves where woody species
have been removed by herbicides. There is, therefore, almost no quality grass-forb habitat in and
adjacent to the project. Limited road construction and clearing for tower sites in the project area and
subsequent seeding with grasses should have a minor temporarily increase in this habitat that is
beneficial for whitetail deer and wild turkey.
3.7.4 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species
The Indiana bat, Virginia spires, and Appalachian elktoe are federally listed species that potentially
occur in the vicinity of the Robbinsville-Santeetlah segment of the Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line.
The Junaluska salamander is a candidate for federal listing.
Junaluska salamander (Eunrcea iunaluska)
The Junaluska salamander is known from the Cheoah River, downstream of Santeetlah Lake.
Declining populations of the Junaluska salamander have been attributed to heavy construction
vehicles traveling across the breeding sites adjacent to the Cheoah River. The area within 300-feet of
the Cheoah River is potentially used as foraging habitat by the Junaluska salamander, especially at
U.S. Highway 129 and State Road 1134. Improving approximately 500-feet of existing road and
construction of 72-feet of road within approximately 100 to 300-feet of the river is necessary to replace
3 towers north of the Cheoah River. Additionally, improvement to access roads on ridges to access 3
towers off State Road 1129 (Gold Mine Road) and improvements to existing roads to access three
towers off State Road 1147 (Santeetlah Dam Road) are necessary. Construction traffic will be
necessary between March and September 2008 to replace towers and string conductors; access road
construction and improvements will likely occur in the spring of 2007. Most of the salamander traffic
across roads probably occurs at night during inclement weather, a time when construction traffic will
19

be extremely limited or non-existent. The potential for increased mortality is limited to a very narrow
portion of the river during a limited time of road improvements in the spring of 2007 and during tower
replacement from March through September 2008. No loss of habitat will occur from these actions.
No effects of sedimentation are expected to the Cheoah River because of the erosion control
measures proposed and extensive vegetation filters between erosion control measures and waters.
Indiana bat (Mvotis sodalis)
The Indiana bat is federally listed as endangered in North Carolina, and suitable summer roosting and
foraging habitat for the bat exists within the project area. Direct effects may occur between April 15
and October 15, if a tree in which the bat is roosting is cut. Indirect effects may also occur to potential
Indiana bat roosting and foraging habitat. Based on the small number of currently suitable or potential
roost trees that would be affected, effects on the bat population will be unlikely and will not reach the
scale where an adverse affect or actual take occurs. The sequence of events that would result in a
tree being cut down in which a bat is roosting is very unlikely. Furthermore, removing a small number
of trees would not make the area unsuitable as summer habitat for Indiana bats. Indiana bats are
known to use highly altered and fragmented landscapes. They may respond positively to habitat
disturbance, particularly where forests are even-aged and closed-canopied. A diverse landscape may
benefit Indiana bats, as long as sufficient mature forest and numbers of quality roost trees are
provided. Given the extremely small amount of clearing associated with new roads, the vast acreage
of roost trees in immediate proximity to the project, and the potentially suitable habitat for Indiana bats
in the heavily forested area, the project will not affect the Indiana bat.
Virginia spiraea (spiraea virginiana)
Virginia spiraea is listed as "threatened" by the Fish and Wildlife Service and "endangered" by the
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (Franklin, 2006). Several plants of the shrub are known
from along the Cheoah River within 0.2 mile of the point the transmission corridor passes over the
river. No construction activity is planned for this area. Temporary poles will be placed where the line
crosses Highway 129 and the adjacent Cheoah River to suspend conductors during tower
replacement. These structures will require little disturbance and will not be placed in riparian areas of
the Cheoah River. This project will not affect the Virginia spiraea.
Appalachian elktoe (Alasmidonta raveneliana)
The Appalachian elktoe is listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NC Wildlife
Resources Commission. The line rebuild project requires construction of an estimated 72-feet of new
access road and an estimated improvement of 1,093-feet of existing roadbed within the drainage of
20

the Cheoah River. Erosion control measures will be installed prior to construction activities, and new
and improved road construction will incorporate design features to minimize concentrated flows and
contain sediment within the construction area. Should extreme storm events occur during
construction, vegetative filters of a minimum of 100-feet would allow filtering of sediment prior to
reaching the Cheoah River. Erosion control audits will be performed weekly to ensure that erosion
control measures are adequately and continuously maintained until total stabilization has occurred.
No additional clearing of riparian vegetation will be required associated with these activities. This
project will not affect the Appalachian elktoe.
3.7.5 Determination of Effect
The Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line rebuild project will have no effect on federally listed or
candidate species. Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been conducted (Section
5.0).
3.8 Cultural Resources
The state's archaeological and historic architectural sites files in Raleigh and Ashville were reviewed
to determine if any documented resources reside within 250 feet of a tower to be removed, 250-feet of
a tower to be constructed, or within 250-feet of an access road to be upgraded or of a new access
road to be built. There are no documented cultural resources that are eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places ("NRHP") in these areas where possible construction impacts could occur.
The Tapoco Division of Alcoa Power Generating, Inc. recently completed a Phase I archaeological
survey at the Santeetlah Reservoir as part of the FERC relicensing for the Tapoco Hydroelectric
Project. Debra Joy, Legacy Research Associates, Inc., recorded several sites along the shoreline of
the reservoir during the survey that was conducted in 2003. Those sites, along with others that are
within 250-feet of an access road or tower on the Robbinsville-Santeetlah 161 kV Transmission line
are presented in Table 9 (see Figures 4, 5, and 6).

will not be affected by the project. The remaining sites are not eligible for the NRHP.
There are no recorded historic above ground resources with in the project area that was screened for
cultural resources.
3.9 Recreation
The rebuilt Robbinsville-Santeetlah line segment will occupy the same right-of-way as the existing line
it will replace. No new right-of-way will be cleared for the project. Some new roads will be built and
others improved, but these will be closed for public access. New tower structures will be, on average,
approximately 20" higher than the existing ones they will replace. Conductor heights will meet or
exceed the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) vertical clearance requirements over all waters,
including FERC Project Boundary waters. Prior to construction, Duke Energy will provide Tapoco,
Inc. with plan and profile drawings showing the precise tower locations in proximity to crossing points,
tower heights, and conductor heights at the lines maximum operating temperature. Following
construction, certified documentation of compliance by a Professional Land Surveyor and a
Professional Engineer will be provided to Tapoco, Inc.

3.10 Aesthetics
A comprehensive visual assessment was performed for the entire project on and in close proximity to
U.S. Forest Services lands that included all Santeetlah Lake crossings. Duke Energy plans to
mitigate line visibility at all Santeetlah Lake crossings by modifying its corridor management practices
to hand cut only those trees within 100' of the full pond level that would interfere with the safe, reliable
operation of the Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line. By following the modified management practice,
it is predicted that virtually no views of structures or the cleared corridor will be present in 5-years from
any point on Santeetlah Lake.
Additionally, there are mitigating circumstances and planned mitigation steps that Duke Energy will
take to minimize the visual conflicts. The mitigating circumstances are:
1. There will be no right-of-way clearing associated with the proposed action. A minor
amount of clearing will be necessary where new access roads will be constructed, but it
will be limited to narrow, linear segments and will not be visible from any significant
viewpoints;
2. The new towers will essentially be located where existing structures will be removed;
3. From virtually all viewpoints, new structures will be closely back dropped by vegetated
terrain; and,
4. New structures will not be significantly taller than the existing ones to be replaced. The
proposed new structures over the entire length of the line will average 148.6' in height; the
existing structures to be removed averages 130' in height.
23

Duke Energy plans to implement the following mitigation measures to minimize conflicts with U.S.
Forest Service Visual Quality Objectives:
1. The new structures will utilize de-glared or darkened galvanized steel construction that will
have a 15-17% light reflectivity factor. The current structures to be replaced are standard
galvanized steel that, when new, has a light reflectivity rating of 65-70%. Given weathering
that has occurred over the years, it is estimated that the light reflectivity range of the
existing structures is 40-50%. Therefore, the effect of background screening will be
greater when the existing structures are replaced by the new, lower reflectivity towers that
will afford less contrast against vegetated backdrops.
2. The electrical conductors on the upgraded line will be "non-specular". Non-specular, or de-
glared conductor, is standard aluminum conductor with steel reinforcing strands in the
core. The conductor has been sandblasted or acid etched to reduce "sheen" and, thus,
light reflectivity.
The conclusions of the visual assessment are that the planned upgrade of the Robbinsville-Santeetlah
161 kV Line will not measurably change the visual quality and conditions of the region, which are
presently affected by the existing line to be replaced. The absence of additional clearing for the
upgrade line project, the use of darkened steel structures, the use of de-glared conductor, and the
placement of new structures in essentially the same locations as the structures to be removed will
result in visual condition changes that will not be recognizable by most viewers. In fact, the use of the
darker structures compared to the existing ones will result in less overall visual recognition where the
structures are seen against vegetated backdrops.
A short-term visual change will occur due to land surface disturbance and roadwork on the existing
right-of--way. Duke Energy will revegetate all disturbed areas by seeding and mulching. Newly
seeded areas will be mulched with straw and excelsior blankets, which will cause an easily
recognizable color contrast with surrounding undisturbed areas. This visual contrast will be present
only as long as it takes for newly seeded areas to become fully revegetated.

The Nantahala-Robbinsville segment of the Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line crosses a tract of land
owned by numerous heirs of six (6) original possessory holders of Eastem Band of Cherokee Indians
Trust Land. Duke Energy has been working closely with the U.S. Department of Interior, Cherokee
26

Agency, to execute a new Power Right-Of-Way agreement, which will supersede the one now in
effect for the existing line. Due to the number heirs that now have an interest in the tract of land, the
execution of the agreement has not been completed; however, as of December 12, 2006, the Duke
Energy representative working closely with the Tribal Business Committee reports that there are no
objections to the project and that the agreement is simply taking time due to the number and locations
of signatories. Once the agreement is fully executed by all signatories, the Bureau of Indian Affairs
will present it to the Tribal Council for final approval.
5.2 Permits
The following permits were issued for this project.
1. NCDENR Sediment and Erosion Control Permit;
2. NCDENR National Pollutant Elimination Discharge System Permit;
3. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 General Permit; and,
4. U.S. Forest Service Special Use Permit.
Permit approvals are provided in Appendix B.
5.3 Public Review
All property owners that have right-of-way on their property have been contacted regarding the rebuild
of the Nantahala-Santeetlah 161 kV Line. Request for comments regarding the line rebuild project
were published in two local newspapers, The Franklin Press and Graham Star, as part of the U.S.
Forest Service scoping process associated with the application for a Special Use Permit. Also, as
part of the U.S. Forest Service Scoping process, comment solicitation letters were mailed to ninety
(90) recipients on July 29, 2006. As a result of the published solicitation for comments and the direct
mail solicitation, the U.S. Forest Service received only three responses and all were supportive of the
project. A copy of the newspaper solicitation, the July 29th solicitation letter, and copies of the three
responses are included in Appendix C.

~8~l $R~ies. Based an the information you provided, the maps, our knowledge of the site, and a review
of our recoNs, we agree that the project is not likely to have adversely affect the Indiana bat ~ you are any
rerr~ving potential roost trees after October 15th (per you phone message of 8f16/06}. Because you have
indicated there w~i be adequate erosion contml during construction aril reconstnurtian of access roads, we agree
that the project w-~ not likely adversely affect the Appalachian elldoe or result in adverse modification of its critical
habftat at the Cheaah River. Further, you related that you would make adequate provisions during pulling of
new tines in order to avoid any impacts to Virginia spiraea a~ng the Gheoah River.
to view of this, we believe the requiremer-ts under section 7(c} of the Act have been fu~lted. However, obligations
under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered ~: (1}new infinrrnation reveals impacts of this kientrfrecl ac~ian
that may affect erxiangered or threatened speaes or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2}
this actbn is subsequently modified in a manner not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or
critical habitat ~ dethmrined that may be affected by the action.
Shor ' ~ M~ement. Aquatic and riparian habitats in the vicinity of the transmission line at the Tallulah Bog,
Lake Santeetlah, Cheoah River, Yellow Creek, Cheoah Reservoir, and other surface waters should not be
altered.
Coardinatron. i encourage you to make plans to coordinate with landowners along the route, including the U.S.
National Forest Service, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and Alcoa Power Generating, inc. ALSO, there is
a conservation easement on the Yellow Greek tract and riparian areas around the Tapoca project boundary -this

Nationwide 12 Permit Application - Nantahala to Santeetlah 161 kV Line Rebuild
Graham County
Dear Mr. Baker:
Environmental Resources of the Carolinas, on behalf of Mr. Randy N. Veltri of Duke Energy, requested a
letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) fora 44~
Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). Comments from the Commission are provided
under provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordiuiation Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The applicant requested authorization for 0.374 acre of wetland impacts in the Tallulah Bog in order to
reconstruct a transmission line. Most of the impact is for temporary fill.
Tallulah Creek near the construction sites supports trout. Stream impacts are not necessary with the
project, so trout resources should be unaffected if sedimentation is minimized during construction.
Tallulah Bog supports bog turtles and salamanders, including listed species. Therefore, disturbance of
vernal pool and sphagnum moss habitats should be avoided to the extent possible. Disturbance outside of
the construction limits should be avoided as much as possible, but hand removal of trees and overstory
vegetation is acceptable and would actually be beneficial for some wildlife in the bog. Soil compaction,
which can alter wetland hydrology, should be avoided as much as possible.
The Commission can concur with a permit for this project if it includes the following conditions to help
conserve fish and wildlife resources:
1. Any unearthed bog turtles should be held and Ms. Lori Williams with the Commission should be
contacted immediately (828/6840358 work, 828/712-9117 cell),
2. In accordance with Nationwide General Condition 5, timber or similar mats should be used far heavy
equipment access to minimize soil disturbance.
3. Culverts for permanent wetland crossings should be partially buried so that wetland hydrology is not
interrupted.
4. Adequate sediment and erosion control measures must be used before construction (e.g. silt fences)
and maintained until disturbed soils are permanently stabilized. All bare soil must be seeded within

fifteen (15) days of ground disturbance with a native wetland plant mixture and, if necessary, a
temporary cover of annual grain. Fescue must not be used.
5. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area must be maintained to prevent contact
between curing concrete and waters.
6. Disturbance outside of the construction limits should be avoided as much as possible. However, hand
removal of trees and overstory vegetation is acceptable and would actually be beneficial for some
wildlife in the bog.
7. All heavy equipment operated near waters should be inspected and maintained regularly to prevent
contamination by fuels, lubricants, or hydraulic fluids.
8. Hydroseed mixtures and wash waters must not reach streams.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Pending availability of field staff,
the Commission may inspect the work site during or after construction. If there are any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at {828) 452-2546 extension 24.

transmission Tine that runs from the Nantahala Hydroelectric Plant to an electrical substation in
Robbinsviile and continuing to the Tennessee ~''afley Authority's (TVA) tie station near the
Santeetlah Hpdroelectric Plant in Graham and Awn; Counties, North Carolina. The
transmission tine, which has beers in existence for approximately 7tl years, is l8.$t miles in
length. This decision is applicable only to the 1.72 mites of transmission line which are Ideated
on National Forest tends. A Forest Seanriee NEPA decision is not r~uired for the l 7.tl9 miles of

APPENDU( B

The pro,~ect will be completed in twca phases. The first phase involves taleing the existing
Nsntahala-Rubbinsville line segment out of e3ectric,~1 seavice while tlye existing taa~~wers smd
conductors are removed and replatxxl. During this first construction phase, electrical service will
be provided to the Robbinsville Substation over the Robbinsville-Santeetiah segment. When
const~ction is completed on the Nantat~s(a-Robhinsville line segment, it will 6e energies to
provide electrical power to the Robbinsville Simon, and the second constmcticm phase will
begin. Dhu~ing the second project phase, the Robbatnsville-Santeetlah ~g~t of the line will be
tal£en out of service until that line segment can be rebuilt. During constrncbio~n of both segments
of the line, a teanporaty line an wooden poles will be built aloa~g the edge of the existing line
corridor to support a fiber optic Iine that is now supported on the steel towers to be removed.
When the upgraeled line is cxunpleted, the new towers will support the fiber optic line and the
temporary line will be removed_
The existing line to be removed utilizes eighty (>IO) lattice steel towers that avenge
approxixna~rteiy 13fl feet in height. Tl~e upgraded line will utilize seventy-~vo ('T2} 18tttice steel
towers that will average 148.6 feet in height. Nine (4} existing towers on National Forest Iands
will be replaced by nine (9} towers. The new towers will utilize "darkened" steel to significantly
reduce their visibility when viewed against vegetated backdrops. The Iine to be moved utilizes
standard, galvanizeel steel,
P€IRPQSE AND NEED FQR TIDE ACTIQN
The Nantahala Robbinsville segment of the existing transmission line supplies electrical enema
to the 't'own of Robbinsville, NC and the surrounding area. The Robbinsville-Santeetlah
segment serves ss an interconnection with the TVA and provides a second source of electrical
energy to Robbinsville and the surrounding area. in the event seiv~ice is interrupted on the
Nantalrala-Robbinsuille segment.
The purpose and need for replacing the existing, ditse is to provide and improve electrical services
to the Robbins~ville aucl surrounding area. The existing line is asingle-circuit aanstnietion Qn
lattice steel towers that was canstru~cted in the 19~4fls. The existing structures acre obsolete and
inconsistent with the standard transmission line structures now used by Duke orgy throughout
its service territory. The new line will be a dc~uhle-circuit construction and ~~ili have more than
double the electrical carrying capacity of the existing line. "Darkened" steel tow~exs will reduce
tower visibility as compared tc} the existing g~alvanizecl steel towers.

Dear Rick:
This letter is the response of the Appalachian Tra~7 Conservancy to the .-
request for comments from Fac~7ities Planning & Siting, LLC, for Duke
Energy Corporation and the Cheoah Ranger District concerning rebuilding
Duke Energy Corporations 161,000-volt transmission line between the
Nantahala Hydorelectric Plant and the Santeelah Hydroelectric Plant. We
trust you have also contacted the Smoky Mountains H~irig Club.
The power line in question is not visible from nor near the Appalachian
Trail. This project should have no significant impact on the Appalachian
National Scenic Trail or its users.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to comment. We appreciaxe your
continued support of appropriate stewardship of the Appalachian National
Scenic Trad.
Sincerely,

Mr. Rick Semingson
USDA Forest Service
Tusquittee Ranger District
123 Woodland Drive
Murphy, NC 28906
Reference: Duke Energy Transmission Line
Dear Mr. Semingson:
Thanks for the opportunity to comment on the above referenced proposed
project.
Our organization's mission is to promote the balanced integration and
protection of forestland values across the forest landscape in the
Southern Appalachians. Therefore we have a keen interest in this proposal.
APPENDIX C

Our comments are as follows:
We believe the upgrading of our nation's electrical system is most
important for efficient energy transmission and providing necessary
infrasducture for our growing economy. We believe the proposed action is
reasonable and should proceed, with the actions described below
incorporated into the project.
We believe this proposed action is a great opportunity to develop wildlife
openings and maintain early succession habitat for a number of wildlife
species within the rights-of--way of the transmission line. Clearly, there
is a need to have more wildlife openings and early succession habitats on
the described landscape.
We strongly urge you to require that the rights-of--way for the
transmission line be maintained using mechanical means rather than
herbicide application for clearing and reclearing purposes. You can
selectively leave many beneficial plant species for wildlife by using
mechanical means vs. broadcast herbicide applications. Also, it has been
our experience that broadcast herbicide applications eliminate all
vegetation and requires a significant time to re-vegetate the area,
leaving a void for most wildlife species.
Any wildlife openings as a result of this proposed upgrade should a brushy
edge on all openings in the project area. We strongly urge you to go with
an early successional edge (at least 100 feet deep around the openings)
that will provide cover for numerous wildlife species that could take
advantage of the opening's browsing and bugging opportunities. This
improvement has been applied in other areas of the Pisgah and Narrtahala
national forests and promoted by wildlife biologists from the NC WRC and
conservation organizations.
Any roads developed or reconstructed are also opportunities for wildlife
enhancement and should be seeded with a wildlife mixture. These roads
should be daylighted to establish early successionaUshrubby strips along
the roads to allow protection for numerous wildlife species that will take
advantage of the protection for access to the wildlife seeded roads
(linear wildlife openings) as well as to help keep the roads dryer during
periods of wet weather.
We have no prablerns with the construction and reconstruction of the roads
necessary to carry out the proposed actions. They are assets for all
management activities and provide access for many recreation activities,
forest health manipulations, wildlife habitat woxk, etc.
We support the proposed use of prescribed burning as a wildlife
management tool. It is widely recognized by wildlife specialists the
benefits of regular prescribed. burning to a number of important wildlife
species across the landscape. We encourage you to consider a recurring
burning plan for some ofthe areas.
We would also encourage you to consider clearly designating/restricting
road uses (linear wildlife openings, bike riding, horseback riding, etc.)
APPENDIX C

after the project is complete to reduce future conflicts.
Thanks again for the opportunity to corrrment. If you have any questions or
comments, please contact our office at 828-452-9712.
