Good morning Amy,
This is Taylor. I just spoke with Cort and he just spoke with the customer for this job, as we have done our best on
getting everything to you guys that you need in order to get this approved the customer has decided to back out of
doing the project at this time. In that case, I have attached the receipt from the payment we made when we submitted
the application and we need to have this amount refunded. The amount was for $246.36. If you have any questions
please give me a call, my number is 828-557-3574.

I have a few questions about everything you listed in that email.
The email yesterday had the application attached with it, can you confirm that this is the correct application you are
needing? Also, since we already submitted it, do we have to resubmit it again? Yes, this is concerning the Watson
shoreline stabilization application. Your application is incomplete. Please answer my questions from the email that I
sent on 12/7 and respond via email directly to me.
Also, for the turbidity standard, we're not sure how to do this. We will not be in the water at all during this project as we
are trying to complete it while the water is down. Please describe how you will perform the project so that turbidity
standards will not be violated. If you are working while the lake is drawn down, you can state that in your response. This
is known as working in the dry.

Co rt,
The email I sent to you on 12/7 (see below) asked for additional information because the original application was not
sufficient. The application is on hold until you provide that additional information. Please email me your responses
directly by January 4, 2022.

Good morning,
I have attached the DWR Shoreline Stabilization application that we have already completed, can you tell me if it meets

Taylor and Cort,
Thank you for your email. The information needed for DWR to complete our review is listed below. Please let me know if
you have any questions.
On October 31, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water

additional information received on December7, 2021. The Division has determined that your application is incomplete
and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the following information is received:

1. Page 5 of the DWR Shoreline Stabilization application carries the signature of Arron Cort Carringer. In order for
Arron Cort Carringer to sign, the application package requires an agent authorization letter from the applicant
that is signed by the landowner. A sample agent authorization letter can be found on the USACE website
(http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Portals/59/docs/regulatory/regdocs/Permits/SAMPLE AGENT AUTHORIZATIO

the shoreline.
3. Please specify the size of material proposed for shoreline stabilization. Per Condition II. 20 of GC 4145
(attached), rip -rap used for shoreline stabilization must be of a size and density to prevent movement by wave
action. [15A NCAC 02H 0506(b)(2)]
4. Lake Nantahala is classified as B; Trout waters. NC Water Quality Standards specify that the turbidity shall not

Good morning Amy,
My name is Taylor I am helping Cort with getting this project approved. I spoke with Kevin at Duke yesterday and he said
that dredging or any type of excavating isn't allowed so we are looking to move forward with just doing granite rock. Can
you email me everything that we need to do in order to get this approved? Or if you need to give me a call my number is
828-557-3574. Thanks so much!
