Dear Mr. Brown and Ms. Higgins,
r, t •
ZO 04
The attached Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) is being submitted on behalf of Duke Energy
Lake Services represented by Mr. Joe Carriker. The project site is located off Casey Road in
Cullowhee, Jackson County, North Carolina. The applicant is seeking Nationwide Permit 36 for
impacts associated with construction of a two boat ramps, a parking area, and associated
infrastructure.
Nationwide Permit 36 limits discharge into waters to 50 cubic yards. The applicant would like to
request a waiver from this limitation. The proposed ramp lengths and cubic yardage of base
material are needed to achieve the desired ramp grade: 14 %. Ramp lengths and grades; and ramp
orientation to the flow of the river were mainly determined by site geometry and the need to
match existing grades within the parking area. Vehicle turning and boat trailer maneuvering also
contributed to the final site layout and length of the proposed boat ramps.
Should you have any questions regarding the attached PCN and supplemental information please
do not hesitate to contact me at 828 - 698 -9800. A copy of this package has been sent to Ms.
Andrea Leslie of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and Mr. Mark Cantrell of the US Fish
and Wildlife Service for review. A copy of this application has also been submitted to Mr. Kevin
Barnett of the NC Division of Water Resources, Asheville Regional Office.

Duke Energy proposes to construct upgrades to the Lena Davis Landing Tuckasegee River Access, which is a
cooperative project with Western Carolina University, The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and Tuckaseigee
Water and Sewer Authority, to enhance public recreation opportunities on the Tuckasegee River in Cullowhee,
NC. The project is within Duke Energy's Tuckasegee Cooperative Stakeholder Team (TCST) Settlement
Agreement being the culmination of the numerous Stakeholders' desire, as set forth in the September 23, 2003
Consensus Agreement, to see the fulfillment of, in contractual terms, the concepts described and to which the
Parties agreed in the Settlement Agreement for new Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
hydroelectric licenses, issued May 1, 2011, for the West Fork FERC Project No. 2686 and East Fork FERC
Project No. 2698.
As part of the settlement agreement, that was reviewed and signed by Federal, State, Local agencies, and
stakeholders in 2003, Duke Energy agreed to construct an upstream take -out and downstream put -in for drift boat
and canoe access at Cullowhee Dam, provided suitable agreements can be reached with the property owners.
Duke Energy anticipates to finalize the lease for the portion of the property owned by the State of North Carolina
and administered by Western Carolina University and a land use operating agreement for the portion of the
property owned by TVA in the next few weeks. A lease for using a portion of the property owned by the
Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority has been executed for Duke Energy. Construction will not commence
until the arrangements for utilizing all three properties are completed.
I, Joseph W. Carriker, P.E., Duke Energy's current Project Manager for the project, hereby authorize ClearWater
Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) to act on my behalf as my agent during the processing of jurisdictional
determination requests and permits to impact Wetlands and Water of the US subject to Federal jurisdiction under
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. CEC is
authorized to provide supplemental information as needed at the request of the USACE or DWR.
Additionally, I have notified the point of contact for each of the three property owners that I have authorized
representatives of the Wilmington District, US Army Corps of Engineers to enter upon the property herein
described for the purposes of conducting onsite investigations and issuing a determination associated with
Wetlands and Waters of the US subject to Federal jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or

area. use in the vicinity is commercial
and residential. Western Carolina University is approximately two blocks from the project site. Photographs of the site
are included in Attachment B.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property-
0 acres of wetlands.
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
Approximately 165 linear feet of stream and approximately 550 linear feet of Tuckasegee River frontage.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct upgrades to the existing Lena Davis Landing. Site improvements
include construction of two boat ramps, installation of one culvert, and construction of a parking area
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The applicant proposes to construct two boat ramps that will extend into the Tuckasegee River. Boat Ramp #1 (Impact
#1) will be located upstream of the Cullowhee Dam and will extend approximately 29 linear feet into the river and impact
an area of 836 square feet (0.02 acre). Total fill below the plane of ordinary high water for Boat Ramp #1 is 35 cubic
yards. Boat Ramp #2 (Impact #2) will be located downstream of the Cullowhee dam and will extend approximately 15
linear feet into the river and impact an area of 950 square feet (0.02 acre). Total fill below the plane of ordinary high
water for Boat Ramp #2 is 40 cubic yards. One culvert (Impact #3) will be installed beneath Boat Ramp #2. This will be a
36 -inch reinforced concrete pipe with headwalls at each end; total length of the headwalls
culvert and will be 32 feet.
Additionally, the applicant proposes to knock out a weir in the existing rock retaining wall to alleviate the pooling of water
behind the wall caused by an open emergency spillway valve adjacent to the dam and flow from an unnamed tributary.
Construction of the proposed boat ramps will involve grading, forming concrete slabs for the ramps, pushing concrete
slabs into place, installing aprons, and backfilling around the ramp. All stone (class B riprap, 5 -15" diameter stone) will be
compacted by a grade -all or dozer. Rock material placed underwater will be compacted and leveled using the bucket on
the grade -all. The ramp forms and concrete slabs will be constructed, poured, and cured out of the water. The cured
ramps will be slid into place by a 30- degree bevel and a dozer. Backfilling will be done using additional surge stone, and
lightly packing it with a backhoe bucket.
Additional infrastructure associated with this project includes a small asphalt parking area with spaces for single cars and
those pulling boat trailers; and a turn - around.
Scopmg letters soliciting comments for the proposed project were sent to multiple agencies in January of 2015. All
Scoping Comments are included in Attachment C.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Proposed boat ramps are utilizing as much upland area as possible before extending into the river. The upstream boat ramp
is approximately 48 feet long but only extends approximately 29 linear feet into the river and the downstream boat ramp is
approximately 65 feet long but only extends approximately 15 feet into the river. The proposed ramp lengths and cubic
yardage of base material are needed to achieve the desired ramp grade: 14 %. Ramp lengths and grades; and ramp
orientation to the flow of the river were mainly determined by site geometry and the need to match existing grades within the
parking area. Turning and boat trailer maneuvering also contributed to the final site layout and length of the proposed boat
ramps. The proposed culvert utilizes headwalls which reduces the length of the proposed culvert.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The ramp forms and concrete slabs will be constructed, poured, and cured out of the water. The cured ramps will be slid into
place by a 30- degree bevel and a dozer.

Dear Mr. Carriker:
Reference is made to your letter of January 28, 2015, with submitted design
plans /drawings, for the proposed Lena Davis Landing Tuckasegee River Access Project at 91
Casey Road in Cullowhee, Jackson County North Carolina. The letter requested an evaluation of
environmental considerations to jurisdictional waters of the United States (WoUS) that could
involve Department of Army (DA) permitting for the above mentioned work.
We have reviewed your submitted documents and determined the proposed work will
result in impacts to jurisdictional WoUS and require DA authorization pursuant to our regulatory
authority under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Under Section 404 of the CWA,
DA authority regulates discharge of dredge or fill material into WoUS.
The information submitted with your letter did provide detailed data or other information
necessary to verify the size and type of the proposed impacts to jurisdictional waters present
within the proposed work areas. Based upon the review of this information, the recommended
permitting avenues to obtain DA authorization for the proposed project would be through
Nationwide Permit(s) 18 and/or 36 (enclosed).
As you know the type of DA authorization required is determined by the location, type,
and extent of jurisdictional area(s) impacted by the project, and by the project design and work
limits. If changes are made to proposed work from those contained in the documents mentioned
above, the Corps request additional information and data be submitted for the project work limits
and work scope in regard to areas in and around jurisdictional waters for the project which detail
the changes from what has been reviewed by the Corps for this letter. At that time, the Corps
may need to verify the exact extent of impacts of the proposed changes to the project will have to
jurisdictional waters, or to provide specific comments concerning DA permit requirements.

Should you have any further questions related to this matter, please contact me at 828-
271 -7980, extension 232.

Sorry I have not been able to reply yet.
I do not foresee any issues with the design plans - it looks like the conceptual design what we have discussed at
the site.
Construction impacts should be minimized since the designated critical habitat for the endangered Appalachian
elktoe is immediately downstream of the bridge.

Hl Leslie,
Thank you for your comments We will substitute the Tall Fescue seed with a less invasive seed As
far as treating the stormwater, we have maximized the rain garden and are treating as much
rainwater as possible (majority of the parking area) There is an existing powerhouse that will
remain between the parking lot and river that prohibits additional stormwater treatment and
additional plantings I have attached a couple of pictures of the area for reference
Again, thanks for the comments and let me know if you have any further questions

Subject: RE: Lena Davis Plans
Hi Ashlie-
have a couple of comments upon review of the plans:
• Tall Fescue is listed as a temporary seed. We strongly recommend against using
this, as it is highly invasive.
• It's great to see the rain garden in the plans. Is it sized to treat the entire
parking lot and other impervious surfaces? If not, can stormwater not directed
to the rain garden be directed to something like grass swales to provide some
treatment?
• Can the 30 -40' space between the river and the parking lot /paved area be
planted in native riparian vegetation including shrubs and trees?
Thank you for the opportunity to weigh in,
Andrea

Dear Mr. Carriker:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
Pursuant to your letter of February 2, 2015 we have reviewed the above referenced project with regards to potential
impact to NC Public Water Supplies. It is our understanding that the proposed project includes construction of a gravel
drive, paved parking, boat ramps above and below the existing dam on the Tuckasegee River, and associated temporary
and permanent erosion control and storm water management features.
Please be aware that the raw water intake for the Western Carolina University Water Treatment Facility is located
immediately upstream of the dam and the raw water intake for the Tuckasegee Water and Sewer Authority is located
approximately 500 feet upstream of the dam. The necessary precautions should be taken during construction to prevent
leakage and spills of fluids from construction equipment. We concur with the issuance of the necessary permits for
construction of this project provided the site is developed and maintained in accordance with the necessary permits, and
that associated activities do not contravene the designated water quality standards.
If at any time you have questions or need additional information please do not hesitate to contact me at the Asheville
Regional Office at bill.conner @ncdenr.gov, or (828) 296 -4500.
