RE: Shoreline Stabilization at 1705 Woods Mountain Trail, Cullowhee, NC 28723 (Lake Glenville)
Mr. Cranford,
I received your email dated September 3, 2014.
I am confirming that my shoreline stabilization project will conform to the Duke Power
Nantahala Area Shoreline Management Guidelines as specifically stated in Exhibit 3, related to
construction methods including rip -rap installation at the toe of any wall per Figure 3.
I have met with Kevin Holland from Duke Power at the project site and specifically discussed
with him that the main method of stabilization will be a dry stack wall with selected areas of rip
rap at the toe of the wall where needed. A good portion of the wall will be on the natural rock
foundation in place and the wall will be used to protect future erosion that was very prominent
and was undercutting the shore and its vegetation and trees, as noted in the pictures attached
to the application.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me again through the previously used
email address.
Sincerely,
ohn Bareham

EXIIIBIT 3
Shoreline Stabilization and Erosion Control
1. With proper approval vegetation, dry stack rock, rip -rap rock five (5) to fifteen (15)
inches in diameter or larger, or other environmentally friendly erosion control
methods (i.e. bio- engineering) will be permitted.
2. Installation of erosion control methods require a DPNA permit, a 404 US Army Corp
of Engineers permit and a 401 Water Quality Certification issued by the NCDNER-
Division of Water Quality (DWQ). For 404 and 401 permit information contact the
US Army Corps of Engineers office in Asheville, NC and the DWQ Asheville
regional office.
3. Rip -rap must meet U.S. Army Corps of Engineers guidelines.
4. Erosion control efforts cannot change the basic contour of the existing shoreline.
5. All erosion control measures must meet local, state and federal requirements.
6. Filter fabric (geo- textiles) will be required for either rip -rap or dry stack construction.
7. The use of concrete or grout as an erosion control measure or as a component of an
erosion control measure is prohibited.
