I completely understand about your timeline. Please feel free to issue the permit with the PCN as is. My hope is that we
do not have any additional impacts, but we will plan to resubmit a version 2 and go through the permitting process
again, if required.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
My RPOT for the USACE is tomorrow (4/12) and I cannot wait any longer for changes to be submitted. I will need to
issue the permit with the current impacts requested in the PCN submitted 12/13/22. If you have changes that require a
modification to the PCN/project, they will need to be submitted as a version 2 and we can issue an updated certification.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Duke is currently working on their redesign right now, but may not have it completed by then. I know that they are
planning to redesign their stockpile location to avoid all jurisdictional impacts. We are going out this week to confirm the
new location has no JD features. I can let you know once our visit is done on Thursday about whether there are any
features in the new footprint which would require additional impacts.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Do you have an approximate time frame for the redesign? My RPOT for the USACE will be up in mid -April, so I would
need the information before them so that I can have time to review and issue.

I apologize for the delay in providing the files to you. We were having some difficulty reducing them in size to send by
email. Attached is the 15Y file. I will send the second one as soon as it is compressed.
An update on the potential for changes to the impacts; Duke is currently revising their stockpile design to hopefully
avoid any jurisdictional impacts. I am not sure what the final result will be, but will let you and Jean know once those
updated designs are available.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
I am unable to open them from the SharePoint site, is there any way to send a screenshot/snip if it's a one -page
document or condense them and send them via email?
If your project has changed and you need to update the impact totals, you will need to update the PCN and notify both
DWR and the USACE to make sure that the project can still be fit under the intended NWP3. You can submit updated
information via the following link (make sure to click the 'more information response' button and check yes for Corps
notification) : https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/Supplemental-Information-Form. I have also copied Jean Gibby on this
email so that she is aware of potential changes.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

The Action ID assigned to the project is SAW-2022-02671. The PJD was submitted with the application, so we did not
have one assigned until the permit application submittal. The project was assigned to April Norton at USACE, but I
believe that it has been transferred to Jean Gibby since April has left.
The files that you are missing are PDF portfolios, which may be why they did not upload correctly. They are rather large
(-130MB), so I cannot send them via email. I have uploaded them to Three Oaks' FTP site (link: E1Duke Energy Roxboro
Station Auxiliary Spillway Project Files) if you are able to download from that site. If not, please let me know the best
way to provide the files to you.
I wanted to let you know that we have an area associated with the proposed stockpile site that may potentially have
additional impacts that were not included in the permit application. It was thought that impacts could be avoided at this
location, but design changes may result in minor stream and wetland impacts. If this site results in impacts, what would
be the best way to provide you supplementary information to include this site under this application. I will let you know
whether these impacts will occur prior to submitting anything, but I wanted to make you aware before you issued
anything so that we could include them under this certification if they occurred.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Thanks and have a great day,
Jim

Hi Jim,
I was trying to contact Nancy via telephone and did not realize she was out on maternity leave until I sent her an email
today. I have a few questions about the Duke Energy project referenced below and Nancy's autoreply email referred me
to you. Would you be able to assist in my below request?
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Nancy,
I reviewed this application previously and I need some more information before I can proceed to signature:
• Do you have a USACE Action ID number for this project? I was unable to locate one in the provided documents.
• I am unable to open a few of the items that were included in the submittal in Laserfiche (they are showing up as
just a giant PDF symbol — example attached). Would you please send over a copy of the:
o Roxboro Afterbay Dam Principal Spillway Rehab Final Design Drawings Portfolio
o Final Design Drawings Portfolio 04012022 with New Bridge Drawings
I will review this information and reach out if any questions arise or send out for signature if everything looks good.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
