Subject: PJD Request and ePCN for Cascade Lake Dam repairs, Transylvania County NC
Dear David,
On behalf of Cascade Power Company, we are submitting this Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination
(PJD) Request package and e-PCN (NWP-3) for the proposed structural stabilization improvements needed
to meet NC Dam Safety Program requirements at Cascade Lake Dam. I am the environmental consultant
handling delineation and permitting tasks for Schnabel Engineering, the firm designing the repairs. Lisa
Pickelsimer is the applicant/owner and president of Cascade Power Company. The hydropower plant
below the dam ceased operating decades ago, and there is no plan to restore hydroelectric generation; the
lake will be used for recreational uses.
Cascade Lake Dam is on a 677 acre parcel (PIN # 9515-61-1020) six miles east of Brevard in eastern
Transylvania County. The parcel includes the majority of Cascade Lake to a point 6,800 feet upstream of
the dam, and 1,200 feet of Little River below the dam. Our PJD review area for this project is limited to
approximately 1.2 acre, extending 80 feet upstream and downstream of the dam. The dam has a low-level
gated outlet at elevation 2185 ft that releases base flow, and a two -stage concrete spillway. The lower
spillway is at elevation 2225 ft (normal pool stage) and is 20 feet long; the higher spillway is at elevation
2226.5 ft and is 150 feet long. An excellent 90-second drone video by Gregory George on YouTube shows
the low-level outlet and both spillways operating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2mvbo3zRfE
Features Potentially Subject to Clean Water Act Regulation
Potential jurisdictional waters in the PJD review area are limited to Cascade Lake (open waters, normal pool
= 2225 ft) and Little River below the dam (perennial stream, average width = 100 feet at OHWM). There is
no wetland and no mapped hydric soil in the PJD review area. NRCS-mapped soils are Chestnut-Edneyville
complex, Ashe-Chestnut complex, and Evard loam; all are steep -slope rocky soils. Just below the dam the
river cascades over steep bedrock and boulders, dropping 30 feet in elevation along the first 400 foot reach
within a steep -walled ravine. We did not flag the OHWM boundary, which is mostly on bare rock; the
OHWM mapping provided is approximate. The lake and river are designated Class-C-Trout waters in USGS
HUC # 06010105-0204 (above dam) and 06010105-0205 (below dam).
Proposed Scope of Work and Impacts to Waters
Environmental Field Studies ■ Wetland & Stream Delineation ■ 404-401 Permits ■ Mitigation Plans & Banking

MOGENSEN MITIGATION INC.
A stability analysis by Schnabel Engineering revealed that the concrete base of the dam is not keyed into
the underlying bedrock and is susceptible to sliding which could cause dam failure. To stabilize the dam,
Schnabel proposes to install a series of 14 post -tensioned anchors vertically through the spillway crest
down into the underlying bedrock, spaced at 10 to 20 ft intervals. Each anchor will be installed inside a 9-
to 10-inch diameter vertical boring and will include 20 strands of reinforced steel rods, grouted, capped and
sealed with a reinforced concrete encasement. Anchor lengths vary from 47 feet near the ends of the
spillway to 105 feet near the middle, and will extend approximately 40 feet into the bedrock. The anchors
will not directly affect jurisdictional waters, as the dam crest and footprint are not considered jurisdictional
features.
Access for the drilling equipment will be from the dam abutments and from a barge floating in the lake.
The left (west) abutment provides access from the adjacent upland directly onto the dam crest. Access
from the right (east) abutment will require placing riprap in the lake pool between the upland and the
lower spillway, resulting in 480 sq.ft (0.011 acre) of permanent impact to open waters.
The lake pool level will be temporarily lowered a few feet while the anchor installation work is ongoing by
using the existing low-level drain gate and supplementary siphons and/or pumps as needed.
A new warning barrier for boaters will also be installed approximately 600 feet upstream of the dam, in a
similar location to the existing warning barrier. The proposed warning barrier consists of float -mounted
signs interconnected with cables, with the cables anchored to the shoreline (upland) on each side. These
floating structures are not considered as impacts to jurisdictional waters.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
❑✓
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
