Tyler,
Attached please find new photos of the shoreline. The previous pictures were taken when Duke had the lake at full pool
height. They have let out a considerable amount of water from the lake.
As you can see the erosion is considerable. For reference, my wife in the pictures is 5'6" tall.
Please let me know if you need anything else.

Mr. Miller,
On August 5, 2023, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water Quality
Certification from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your application is incomplete
and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the following information is received:
1. The application did not include enough detail or plans to allow the Division to fully evaluate the project's effects
on water quality. Specifically, the photographs provided with the application are difficult to visualize and
interpret with regards to the current state of the shoreline to be impacted. Please take new photographs (in
color) that more clearly show the shoreline. It would also help to have the person holding the shovel stand
closer to the existing shoreline to more accurately gauge the size of the area. Feel free to send those to this
email, or to my phone number (828-545-2859). [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(4); 15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. Please provide your response by September 29, 2023. If all of the requested
information is not received, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be denied as incomplete.
The denial of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete application
package and appropriate fee.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Tyler
