Subject: Construction Completion Notification - Greater Asheville Regional Airport Area
Structural Fill Project
This memorandum was prepared per Duke Energy's request in an email dated 7 September 2023
to document completion of construction for the above noted project for submission to the USACE
and NCDEQ.
On 20 April 2022, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued a permit (SAW-2007-
03766) to discharge fill material into 12 linear feet of stream channel and 0.56 acre of wetland for
the Greater Asheville Regional Airport Area 1 Structural Fill project (Area 1) at 61 Terminal Drive,
in Asheville, North. Carolina. USACE issued the permit in response to the permit application
submitted on 15 June 2021 by the Greater Asheville Regional Airport Authority.
The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) issued its approval for an
Individual 401 Water Quality Certification No. WQC003753 on 9 November 2021. This
Certification modified and replaced the Certification issued on 5 April 2016.
General closure activities (e.g., construction) of Area 1 commenced on June 2022. Construction
of the closure cap system was substantially completed in May 2023 (additional work was done in
June and July 2023).
As part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES) NCGO 10000 for
Construction Stormwater at Area 1, a final inspection was performed by Ms. Shawna Riddle of
NCDEQ's Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) on 6 September 2023. The
DEMLR Sedimentation/Construction Stormwater Inspection Report is attached (Attachment 1).
The DEMLR report documents that the "Project is complete and the site is stable. Permanent
ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion has been established. No additional self -monitoring or
self -inspections are required. Project is in compliance and released under the SPCA." A separate
