RE: Duke Energy Carolinas, Inc.
Dan River Combined Cycle Station
Pre - Construction Notification - Intake Structure Maintenance Dredging
Dear Mr. Brown:
Duke Energy Carolinas, Inc. is proposing to dredge around the intake structure at its Dan River Combined
Cycle Station located in Rockingham County, North Carolina. Sediment accumulation in the area of the
intake structure is typical at most power generating facilities with intake structures on riverine systems.
The proposed project will use an eddie pump on a floating barge to dredge the 0.317 acre area around
the intake structure of the plant. It is expected that the area will yield approximately 3500 cubic yards
of spoil material. The material will be pumped to a mixing tank where it will be injected with a
flocculent from the NC DWR List of approved PAMS /Flocculants. After polymer injection the material
will be pumped into Geotubes, capturing solids while allowing filtered water to drain into a holding
pond. From the holding pond the filtered water will gravity flow into the Dan River. The intake area will
be dredged to the original contours of the stream bed, resulting in no increase in the depth of the
stream at the intake structure. No equipment will be used in the river to complete the project, except
for the floating dredge; therefore, we expect no permanent impacts to the river bed. Appropriate
turbidity control practices will be used to minimize the effects of turbidity downstream.
Thank you for your assistance with this project. If you have any questions or comments regarding this
letter please contact me at (864) 590 -8226 or tara.ward@duke- enerev.com.
Sincerely,

pump mounted on a long reach excavator secured to a floating barge will be used for the dredging. The
dredged material will be pumped to a mixing tank where it will be injected with a flocculent from the
NCDENR DWR List of Approved PAMS /Flocculants. After polymer injection the material will be pumped
into Geotubes, capturing solids while allowing filtered water to drain into a holding pond. From the
holding pond the filtered water will gravity flow into the Dan River via 12" HDPE pipe. Appropriate

Part F.Supplementary Information
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or
Designated Critical habitat?
USFWS website, NC Natural Heritage Program website, and communication with Sarah McRae of the
USFWS Raleigh Field Office. One species of concern the Roanoke darter could potentially be effected by
the project. However, in conversation with USFWS the darter is not known within 4 miles of the
proposed project. Therefore the project is unlikely to effect any threatned or endangered species (see
attached email from USFWS).

RE: Dan River Combined Cycle Plant - Intake Structure Dredging (UNCLASSIFIED)
FW: FW:; DanRiver_intake.pdf, Picturel jpg; NWP16_3- 23.pdf
Based on your description of the dredging project, the only permit necessary will be a NWP 16 for return water, which is
attached. A Pre — Construction Notification (PCN) is not required under permit condition 16, Endangered Species, as no
listed species.or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project. This assessment is based
on information provided to you by USFWS (see attached email) and our review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Database.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks.

Andy,

I know we have traded phone messages over the last several weeks and you are out on vacation this week, but I wanted
to give you a summary of the intake dredging project at the Dan River Plant so we can discuss if a permit is necessary for
this activity. We are planning to use a cutterhead suction hydraulic dredge to remove approximately 5,000 cubic yards of
material from the forebay of the intake structure. The material will be pumped directly to the ash basin at the plant.
This activity will not increase the depth of the stream channel. The material will be placed in a dry part of the basin and
allowed to dewater. The ash basin is covered under NPDES permit #3468. Appropriate turbidity control practices will be
utilized to minimize the effects of downstream turbidity.
I would like to discuss project with you next week at your earliest convenience.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi there. Our records indicate that the nearest record of Roanoke logperch (Percina rex) is located
approximately 4.5 river miles upstream in Smith Creek upstream of the confluence with the Dan River. I do not
think there will be any endangered species issues with the maintenance of the intake structure as you described
it.
Thanks!
Sarah
