Subject: UPDATE Regarding the Catawba - Wateree South Carolina Water Quality Certification
This week Public Notices of the .. wba-Wateree Project (Project) water quality certification (WQC) applicat
mailed. These went primarily to property owners adjacent to the Project, so everyone receiving this note may not
receive a Public Notice directly. However, you can access the Public Notice at the following link.
http: / /www.scdhec.gov /PublicNotices /docs /Water /p08001npd.pdf
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control's (SCDHEC) WQC application process is off to ,
smooth and quick start. The public comment period is now open for 30 days and will close on August 29, 2014. While
the July 11, 2014, settlement agreement resolves past concerns with the WQC application, the current public comment
period is also an opportunity to express your support for the Comprehensive r Agreement R
application that is based on the CRA, and the continued expeditious review and processing of the WQC application.

Subject: UPDATE Regarding the Catawba - Wateree South Carolina Water Quality Certification
TOW
I also want to provide some more detail on yesterday's somewhat brief note and answer a question that may have
arisen; Does the settlement agreement change the Comprehensive Relicensing Agreement (CRA)? The answer is no. All
Thanks again for your support and patience throughout this relicensing process and I hope you share my excitement as
the process begins to move forward again.

Subject: Announcement Regarding the Catawba - Wateree South Carolina Water Quality Certification
Today Duke Energy asked the SC Supreme Court to stay any further consideration of its South
Carolina water quality certification (WQC) appeal request while it reapplies for a WQC with the South
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC). This action is pursuant to a
settlement agreement signed July 11, 2014 by Duke Energy, SCDHEC, American Rivers, and the
South Carolina Coastal Conservation League intended to resolve the impasse regarding the South
Carolina water quality certification (WQC) for the Catawba- Wateree Relicensing Project (Project).
The agreement clarifies (but does not change) certain aspects of the Comprehensive Relicensing
Agreement and outlines a series of steps to expeditiously attain a WQC for the Project. Once the
WQC is issued, the agreement parties will take the needed steps with the South Carolina courts and
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to end all court cases and petitions. All Parties
will then urge the FERC to expedite its issuance of a New License for the Project.
The agreement now calls for Duke Energy to reapply for a WQC by August 22, 2014. Duke Energy
expects to reapply sooner than this deadline. If you have questions or need additional information,
please contact Mark Oakley at 704 382 -5778 or mark.oakley @duke - energy.com.
We are encouraged at the prospect of resolving this issue, which should pave the way for issuance of
a New License by the FERC. Once the New License is issued, Duke Energy can begin implementing
the associated benefits, such as land conveyances, resource protection and enhancements and
additional public recreational amenities.

MOTION FOR STAY OF DELIBERATION
DUKE ENERGY CAROLINAS, REQUEST I. REHEARING OF
ORDER PETITION FOR DECLARATORY ORDER
Pursuant to Rule 212 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
C.F.R. § 385.212, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC ( "Duke Energy "), licensee and applicant for new
license ( "New License ") for the Catawba- Wateree Project No. 2232 ( "Project "), hereby moves
the Commission to stay until further notice its deliberation on Duke Energy's May 16, 2014
Request for Rehearing ( "Request for Rehearing")' of the Order Denying Petition for Declaratory
Order, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, 147 FERC ¶ 61,037 ( "Order ")
fl • Z"I
Duke Energy's Request for Rehearing challenged the Commission's
determination in its Order that the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental
Control ( "SCDHEC ") had not waived water quality certification ( "WQC ") under § 401(a)(1) of
the federal Clean Water Act ( "CWA ") (33 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)) with respect to the application
for WQC for the New License for the Project Duke Energy had submitted to SCDHEC on June
5, 2008. Because of a recent agreement, there is no need for the Commission to continue its
deliberation on the Request for Rehearing at this time.
Specifically, on July 11, 2014, Duke Energy entered into an Agreement with
American Rivers and the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League (collectively,
1 FERC accession number 20140516 -5094.

"Conservation Organizations ") and SCDHEC regarding SCDHEC's WQC for the New License
for the Project under § 401(a)(1) of the CWA.2 The purpose of the Agreement is to terminate all
disputes as to whether SCDHEC had waived WQC for the Project's New License in response to
Duke Energy's June 5, 2008 application to SCDHEC. Under the Agreement, SCDHEC will
expeditiously review and process the application for WQC for the New License that Duke
Energy refiled with SCDHEC on July 18, 2014, and thereafter issue a WQC for the New License
consistent with certain requirements set forth in the Agreement.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Duke Energy will withdraw its Request for Rehearing
within five days of issuance of a WQC for the New License acceptable to Duke Energy and the
Conservation Organizations and the expiration of the 15 -day period provided by South Carolina
law for the filing of Requests for Final Review of that WQC, provided no such Requests for
Final Review are filed.
Issuance of a WQC by SCDHEC consistent with the provisions of the Agreement
and compliance with the other provisions of the Agreement will obviate the need for the
Commission to address Duke Energy's Request for Rehearing. Given this, there is no need for
the Commission to continue its deliberation on Duke Energy's Request for Rehearing at this
time, and such deliberation should be stayed during completion of the process provided for in the
Agreement. If SCDHEC issues a WQC consistent with the Agreement and the other provisions
of the Agreement are met, Duke Energy will withdraw its Request for Rehearing. If such a
WQC is not issued or other circumstances prevent the parties from fulfilling the requirements of
the Agreement, Duke Energy will inform the Commission of such developments and request that
the Commission resume its deliberation on Duke Energy's Request for Rehearing.
2 A copy of the Agreement is appended hereto as Attachment A.
2

Duke Energy respectfully requests that the Commission stay its deliberation on
Duke Energy's Request for Rehearing until further notice from Duke Energy.

thirty (30) days of the signing of this Agreement by all Parties. SCDHEC will expeditiously
review and process the application request. The Parties agree that the submission and processing
of the 401 application does not moot the current appeal of Duke Energy; only the issuance of a
401 certification, not contested by affected persons, which is acceptable to Duke Energy and the
2

Conservation Organizations, will trigger the obligation of Duke Energy to dismiss the Petition
for Certiorari under Item #1, Each Party will bear its own costs for the dismissed appeal.
The Parties agree that Duke Energy will submit an application for a 401 water quality
certification and that if SCDHEC issues a 401 water quality certification it will issue a
certification that complies with the following terms:
(a) No inclusion by reference to, and express exclusion of, Section 4.6 of the Revised
Comprehensive Relicensing Agreement ( "CRA ") or of mitigation shall be made
in the 401 certification;
(b) The new 401 certification will quote the following: "This certification is made
subject to the provisions of S.C. Reg. 61- 101(H)."
t �
Duke Energy and the Conservation Organizations agree as follows:
(a) The habitat flow amounts and schedules proposed in Section 4.1 of the CRA
(which refers to and incorporates the proposed Minimum Flows Article in
Appendix A, section A -2.0, of the CRA) do not require any changes;
(b) Duke Energy and the Conservation Organizations agree on the desirability and
pursuit of clear and enforceable license terms for the Spring Stable Flow Periods
Protocol (the "Protocol ") as described in Section 4.8 of the CRA, and the Wateree
Floodplain Inundation Procedure ( "Procedure "), as described in Section 4.9 of the
CRA.
Duke Energy further agrees that, in carrying out its good faith commitments and
exercise of its discretion that are described in CRA Section 4.8 and CRA Section
4.9, it will operate its dams upstream of the Wateree Development in compliance
with requirements of the New License, CRA commitments, and electric
transmission system requirements (e.g., VACAR, SERC, and NERC demands),
including without limitation, the Low Inflow Protocol ( "LIP "), the Maintenance
and Emergency Protocol ( "MEP ") and reservoir target elevations, (collectively
the "Operational Requirements ") and it will operate its Catawba - Wateree
Hydroelectric Project to implement the Protocol and the Procedure as long as
doing so does not prevent compliance with any of the Operational Requirements.
Failure to implement the Protocol or the Procedure as a result of complying with
Operational Requirements shall not constitute lack of good faith as that term is
used in CRA Section 4.8.2 and Section 4.9.1. The result of events and /or Duke
Energy's responses to events beyond its control and generating equipment
limitations shall not constitute lack of good faith as that term is used in CRA
Section 4.8.2 and Section 4.9.1.

Duke Energy will provide to the Conservation Organizations a copy of the annual
report documenting flow releases from the Wateree Development occurring
between February 15 and May 15 during the preceding calendar year, as
described in CRA Section 4.8.5. This report in combination with Duke Energy's
annual compliance report (CPA Appendix A, Section A -6.0, page A -14), which
will be publicly available to the Conservation Organizations via FERC, will
provide comprehensive data regarding Duke Energy's operation of all Project
reservoirs for the Conservation Organizations' review of the degree to which the
Protocol and the Procedure were achieved.
Duke Energy will provide the Conservation Organizations with the two notices of
possible New License amendments that it is required to give all parties to the
CRA by CRA Sections 4.8.6 and 4.9.2.
The Conservation Organizations will issue a letter to FERC after the 401 certification has
been issued (and no Requests for Final Review have been made) to state the following:
Dear Ms. Bose (at FERC): American Rivers and South Carolina Coastal Conservation
League advise the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ( "Commission ") that a
settlement has been reached in the contested case, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC,
Petitioner v. South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
Respondent, and American Rivers and South Carolina Coastal Conservation League.
Interveners, 09- ALJ -07- 0377 -CC, resulting in the issuance of the enclosed 401 water
quality certification ( "WQC") from the State of South Carolina for relicensing of the
Catawba - Wateree Hydroelectric Project ( "Project "). We are writing to inform the
Commission that we do not intend to oppose or challenge the WQC as issued. We
support expedited issuance of a New License to Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC for the
Project that incorporates the conditions of the WQC and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Relicensing Agreement, once the Commission has satisfied all regulatory
and statutory obligations,
SCDHEC will issue a letter to FERC after the 401 certification has been issued (and no
Requests for Final Review have been made) to state the following:
Dear Ms, Bose (at FERC); the South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental
Control advises the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ( "Commission ") that a
settlement has been reached in the contested case, Duke Enemy Carolinas, LLC,
Petitioner v. South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control,
Respondent, and American Rivers and South Carolina Coastal Conservation League
Interveners, 09- ALJ -07- 0377 -CC, resulting in the issuance of the enclosed 401 water
quality certification ( "WQC ") from the State of South Carolina for relicensing of the
Catawba - Wateree Hydroelectric Project ( "Project "). We support expedited issuance of a
New License to Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC for the Project that incorporates the
conditions of the WQC and is consistent with the Comprehensive Relicensing
Agreement, once the Commission has satisfied all regulatory and statutory obligations.

Duke Energy agrees to invite the Conservation Organizations to participate in each
Annual Recreational Flow Schedule Planning meeting described in CRA Section 3.2. The
Conservation Organizations' participation would be contingent upon the initial and annual
consensus agreement of the entities identified in the CRA Sections 3.2.2.
9. SETTLEMENT AG EEMENT WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA ATTORNEY
GENERAL
The Parties agree that the Conservation Organizations may seek to enforce the provisions
of the May 2010 Settlement Agreement between Duke Energy and the South Carolina Attorney
General, but only if they have first given at least 30 -days' written notice to the South Carolina
Attorney General and the South Carolina Attorney General has failed to take any action to
investigate and enforce the May 2010 Settlement Agreement at its option and Duke Energy
remains in violation of the Settlement Agreement with the South Carolina Attorney General.
10. INTERPRETATION OF LAW
SCDNEC states that with respect to any 401 water quality certification issued to Duke
Energy related to its 2006 application for a FERC license to operate the Project it will not allow
land purchases or preservation or monetary payments to substitute for meeting provisions of
South Carolina's EPA - approved state water quality standards under the Clean Water Act,
including the maintenance of classified or existing uses and the water quality needed to maintain
such uses,
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter or conflict with the CRA, for instance by

CRA requires does not by itself constitute a conflict.
