Charlotte, NC 28202
Mailing Address:
EC12Q / PO Box 1006
This letter is provided to serve as the "Agent Authorization Letter" and provide North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) signature authority for the
owner/applicant, that being Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, for upgrade work proposed at
Black Bear Access Area. The work includes the installation of a new fishing pier in Day
Use Area. This construction work is proposed to occur within 2022. The upgrades will
improve fishing opportunities for the general public. It is understood this work will take
place after all the permits are acquired.
This authority is granted to assist the NCWRC in acquisition of necessary permits to
satisfy Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits,
Section 401 general Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed
Buffer Rules.
Please keep Duke Energy informed with the progress of this project. Contact me a 703-
935-6271 or [e-mail] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

OR STREAM FLOWS, SHALL CONSITST OF CLEAN ROCK OR MASONRY
MATERAIL FREE OF DEBRIS OR TOXIC POLLUTANTS. PLACEMENT OF
STABILIZATION MATERIALS SHALL NOT RESULT IN DESTABILIZATON OF
SHORELINE UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM OF THE AREA.
• ALL MECHANIZED EQUIPMENT OPERATED NEAR SURFACE WATERS
SHALL BE INSPECTED AND MAINTAINED REGULARLY TO PREVENT
CONTAMINATION OF SURFACE WATERS FROM FUELS, LUBRICANTS,
HYDRAULIC FLUIDS OR OTHER TOXIC MATERIALS. CONSTRUCTION
SHALL BE STAGED IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE OF EQUIPMENT
TO SURFACE WATERS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PRACTICABLE.
FUELING, LUBRICATION AND GENERAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE SHALL

• INSPECT SEDIMENT FENCES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND AFTER EACH RAINFALL. MAKE ANY REQUIRED REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY.
• SHOULD THE FABRIC OF A SEDIMENT FENCE COLLAPSE, TEAR, DECOMPOSE OR BECOME INEFFECTIVE, REPLACE IT PROMPTLY.
• REMOVE SEDIMENT DEPOSITS AS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STORAGE VOLUME FOR THE NEXT RAIN AND TO REDUCE PRESSURE ON
THE FENCE. TAKE CARE TO AVOID UNDERMINING THE FENCE DURING CLEANOUT.
• REMOVE ALL FENCING MATERIALS AND UNSTABLE SEDIMENT DEPOSITS AND BRING THE AREA TO GRADE AND STABILIZE IT AFTER THE

7. Describe proposed work (include discussion as to how hardening of shoreline has been avoided, or
why it is necessary):
The NC Wildlife component of day use area development is limited to
construction of a fixed, universally accessible fishing pier. The pier will
extend approximately 90' over the lake from the shoreline to reach
fishable water depth at year-round target lake levels. The pier will be
supported by driven timber piles. An 8'x8' concrete abutment will be
installed just above the full pond level (1200' MSL NGVD29) to connect
the pier to the shoreline and is a component of the water dependent fishing
pier structure. Geotextile and rock riprap will be installed along the front
face (lakeward) and sides of the proposed abutment to protect the
abutment base from being eroded by wave action. The attached permit
drawings show details of the overall site plan, extents of the impact area
and proposed shoreline stabilization at the pier abutment.
Construction of the pier, abutment and shoreline stabilization at the
abutment will be done during the fall -winter season when lake levels are
at their lowest. The sites of the abutment and near shore pilings will be
above the lake level at the time of construction and will be installed from
land. Piling locations near the end of the proposed pier will be below the
lake level and will be driven from a water -based barge. Sediment fence is
to be installed along and above the surface water level across the width of
the proposed area of disturbance for equipment activities associated with
pile driving on the lakebed.
An accessible route path and steps connecting the proposed parking area
and the pier abutment are components of Duke Energy Corporation's day
use area development project. Design and construction of these features
are by Duke Energy contractors. These, and all other buffer impacts
excluding the fishing pier, pier abutment and shoreline stabilization at the
abutment, have already been approved under a McDowell County Major
Shoreline Protection Permit (attached).
