Guidance for Completing an Excavation Permit Application
Note: If you are proposing excavation in association with the permitting of a new
or expanded facility under the Marina or Conveyance Programs, you do not need
to complete this application. Instead, you should incorporate the excavation
request into the permit application for the marina/conveyance using the
appropriate application.
Step 1: Contact Duke Energy Lake Services
Complete "Part I" of the application and develop a drawing of the proposed excavation area.
Contact Duke Energy Lake Services to schedule a site visit. Lake Services will conduct a site
visit to determine if Duke Energy will accept an excavation permit application for the proposed
work. If the Lake Services representative determines the application process may proceed,
he/she will initial Part I of the application.
Step 2: Draft Application Development
Complete Parts II-III.A-G and Part V of the Excavation Permit Application.
Step 3: Agency Consultation

recommendations, requirements and/or conditions of Duke Energy, General Permit(s) (if
applicable) and other federal, state and local agency requirements pertaining to the application to
excavate for the purpose of aW=ce-,55
In addition, 11we have read and agree to comply with Duke Energy's current Shoreline
Management Plan (SMP) or other applicable guidelines, much of which is repeated herein, and
understand that written authorization must be obtained from Duke Energy prior to beginning any
activity within the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) project boundary or on Duke
Energy property associated with a reservoir, collectively referred to as Project Boundary. The
excavation will be completed as described in the approved application and within eighteen (18)
months from the date of written approval by Duke Energy, unless specifically noted otherwise in
the application or unless Uwe obtain approval for a single, time extension (maximum of one year)
in writing from Duke Energy. Uwe understand that if the SMP or other applicable guidelines or
rules change during any extension period, Uwe will be expected to comply with the new
requirements to the maximum extent practicable. Uwe also recognize that failure to complete the
excavation within this build -out period will require the filing of a new application within the then -
current SMP or other applicable guidelines and the new application must include any applicable
fees and security deposits.
I/we attest to be the owner(s) or lease holder(s) of the land immediately adjoining the Project
Boundary where the excavation activity is to take place, or if not the owner or lease holder,11we
have included proof of title to the property and written authorization from the owner(s) or lease
holder(s) to carry out the proposal within the Project Boundary adjacent to their land.
Uwe attest to be the owner(s) or lease holder(s) of the land that will be used for equipment
staging and disposal of excavated material or if not the owner or lease holder, Uwe have included
proof of title to the property and written authorization from the owner(s) or lease holder(s) to
carry out the work on thcir land.
Duke Energy Page 1 Re,: 4/612020
I/we understand that all excavation work must be done directly in front of my/our property and as
specified in Duke Energy's approval. Uwe also understand that access channels must run
perpendicular to the shoreline while within the third of the cove area that is nearest my/our
property.
I/we understand that for proposed excavations, Uwe must notify the appropriate local, state and
federal agencies in advance of the activity by sending them a completed copy of Dune Energy's
Excavation Permit Application Form and other required information. I/we understand that
written authorization and/or other permits may be required by some of these agencies and such
required authorizations must be obtained before I/we submit the final application to Duke
Energy.
At FERC-licensed reservoirs, I/we understand that except for maintenance excavations, any
excavation exceeding 2000 cubic yards of material removed or any excavation or shoreline
stabilization work needed to support an application that requires FERC review does itself require
specific review and approval by the FERC before Duke Energy can issue any approvals.
I/we agree that unless specifically approved otherwise in the application, explosives will not be
used as part of this excavation activity.
I/we understand that every reasonable effort must be made to minimize any adverse impact on
fish, wildlife and other natural resources.
I/we understand that applicants in South Carolina proposing excavations that are not covered
under the General Permit, or are greater than 150 cubic yards, must receive prior written
authorization from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
(SCDHEC) or the US Army Corps of Engineers (as applicable) before submitting the completed
application to Duke Energy.
I/we agree that excavation activities will not occur during the months of March, April, May and
.Lune because of the potential impacts to fish spawning areas.
I/we understand that trees and vegetation growing within or adjoining the lake play an important
role in its overall environmental condition, and the ecological benefit the vegetation has on fish
and wildlife habitat directly supports a sound and healthy lake environment. I/we also understand
that unauthorized removal of shoreline vegetation (e.g. button bushes, willows, cattails, etc.)
and/or disturbance of the shoreline buffer may result in suspension or denial of lake use
permitting requests, forfeiture of security deposits and require re-establishment of vegetation at
my/our expense, particularly if the disturbance is found to be in violation of state or local
ordinances or impacts FERC project buffers.
Uwe agree all excavated material will be placed in upland areas, landward of the Project
Boundary, and confined to prevent erosion and sedimentation back into the lake or nearby
streams.
Duke effigy Page 2 Re,,. ,V6/2oza
Uwe agree to adequately stabilize all excavated material and all disturbed shoreline to prevent
erosion and runoff into the lake.
Uwe understand that the double handling of excavated material will not be allowed; therefore, all
excavated material must be placed above the Project Boundary in one handling.
Uwe have designed the hydraulic excavation process (if any will be used so that return water re-
enters the lake in the same general vicinity and cove as the excavation, to the maximum extent
practicable.
I/we agree that the proposed excavation will not be for the purpose of creating additional
shoreline, will not alter the Project Boundary or the full pond contour, and will not impact
threatened or endangered species, historic properties, or environmentally -important areas, unless
special public entity provisions were made in the application.
Uwe recognize that it is my/our responsibility to clearly locate in the field and label on my/our
work area drawings any areas that require specific protection or avoidance during this excavation
work. Examples of these protection/avoidance areas include but are not limited to, any
Environmental Areas, Natural Areas or Impact Minimization Zones as identified by Duke
Energy; jurisdictional wetlands; historic properties; rare or threatened species; and buried gas,
water, sewer, electric or communications lines. Uwe agree to provide mylour contractor with a
copy of these work area drawings showing these areas to stress the necessary protection
measures.
I/we agree that if any archaeological resources (e.g. pottery shards, Indian artifacts, etc.) are
discovered during the excavation, work shall be halted immediately. I/we will then notify Duke
Energy and the State Historic Preservation Office to determine what measures, if any, 1/we must
pursue to protect or salvage the archaeological resources.
1/we agree that any excavation from within the Project Boundary will not exceed the volume as
outlined in the application and will remove and disturb only what is absolutely necessary to
achieve the project's stated purpose.
Uwe agree to be fully responsible for the permitted lake use and Uwe understand that this
responsibility is considered to transfer automatically along with ownership and leases of the
adjoining tract.
Uwe understand Duke Energy representatives may issue Stop Work Directives for violations of
the SMP or other applicable guidelines and other consequences may result from such violations,
including but not limited to suspension or cancellation of approved permits, increases in fees,
modification or removal of non -complying structures and restoration of disturbed areas at my/our
own expense or loss of any consideration for future lake use permits. Uwe agree to immediately
comply with any Stop Work Directives, to fully cooperate with Duke Energy and other agencies
as necessary, and to perform the necessary remedial actions within the specified time frame.
DU-4 ErxW Page 3 R�46V202o
1/we agree to develop any required mitigation plans and to complete any required mitigation
activities at my/our own expense within the specified time frames. Uwe recognize that the
excavation work is not considered complete and deposits will not be refunded until the
mitigation requirements (if any) have been satisfactorily fulfilled.

I/rve agree to notify Duke Energy in writing when the excavation is completed (including any
required mitigation measures) and that the excavation was completed per the approved
application, so a close-out inspection can be performed.
Uwe recognize security deposits will not be refunded if any violations of the SMP, other
applicable guidelines, or this user's agreement occur.
I/we understand there will be no change in hydro project operations as a result of the excavation
and/or utilization of the excavated area.
Uwe agree to maintain the work area in a safe condition and to fully indemnify and save Duke
Energy harmless from any and all claims, liability, loss or damage that may arise from this
excavation project.
1/we understand that this user's agreement does not, in any way, constitute the transfer of any
rights in real property and that my/our use and enjoyment of FERC project and Duke Energy
lands and waters shall not hinder the general public's lawful use and enjoyment of the same.
