DWQ No. 07-1278
Dear Ms. Beckwith and Mr. McMillan:
Mr. John Macemore with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) requested on
behalf of Duke Energy a letter of concurrence from the Commission fora 404 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 Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The project involves replacing three concrete boat ramps on Lake Glenville.
The project will not harm trout spawning.
The Commission recommends that:
1. Sediment and erosion control measures be used as needed before construction and maintained until
disturbed soils are permanently stabilized.
2. Wet concrete not contact the water because this could cause a fish kill.
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 [phone] extension 24.
