Duke Energy Progress requests a Section 10 authorization under the Nationwide Permit program
(NWP 12) to place a temporary utility line in the French Broad Rivet'. Enclosed is the completed
Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form with attachments, A similar request has
been authorized by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in the past but is set to expire March
18, 2022. Based on the specific details of this, proposal, it is our understanding that written
concurrence frown the NC Division of Water Quality (NC DWQ) is not required. Therefore, this
application is provided to NC DWQ "For the record only".
The requested temporary utility line would allow the Asheville Stearn Electric Plant to withdraw
makeup water intermittently during extreme low flow conditions in the river to ensure continued
plant operations. The temporary intake pumps will only be operated when the water level in the
French Broad Rivet- falls below the level required for the permanent intake Structure pumps to
withdraw water.
The intake line will be extended no further than 29 feet away from the riverbank and the pumps will
be placed on high ground near the existing intake structure. There will be no land disturbance, or
wetland, buffer, or stream impacts associated with the placement of the intake line and pumps.
Because operation of the Asheville Stearn Electric Plant during all conditions is critical to Duke Energy
Progress' obligation to ensure adequate electric generation to the: community, we would appreciate your

review of this request as expeditiously as possible. Further, as Duke Energy Progress wishes to maintain
this capability as an ongoing contingency for low flow conditions, we request that authorization for this
activity be granted for a period of five years.
If You have any question or need any further information, please contact Mr. Doti Safi -it at (919)
546-6146 at- Ms. Teresa Williams at (828) 650-06 10.
Sincerely,
Keith Douthit

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The Asheville Steam Electric Plant cooling take level must be maintained to ensure electric generation capacity.
During low flow conditions in the river, the water level may be, beiow the, elevation needed for the existing intake
pumps to operate and supply water to the plant's cooling lake. The temporary utility line and pumps could provide
the water needed to keep the plant operational. This project is part of the Asheville Steam Electric Plant Drought
Contingency Plan.
41. Describe the overall project In detall, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
This project is for the installation of a temporary utility line (water intake pipe) in the French Broad River to extend the
reach of the existing intake pumps during low flow conditions predicted during drought periods. A 12-inch diameter
flexible line will be extended no more than 29 feet from the bank into the river at the location of the existing pump
intake structure (see attached map). Two diesel driven pumps will be placed adjacent to the existing river intake
pumps on shore and operated only when the existing water intake is incapable of withdrawing water. The end of the
(line will) be secured by weights and will be covered with a screen (mesh size approximately 1 cm) to reduce impacts
to fish and deter debris from entering the line. There will be no impact to the riparian bluffer or to wetlands nor will
there be any land disturbance. There will be no discharge of any sediment or similar material into the French Broad
River from this activity.
Sa. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas? *
