Clough Duke Energy/CCP Engineering 500 Utility Drive Lewisville, North Carolina 27012 Permit No: SAW-2015-01426 Issuing Office: U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington NOTE: The term "you" and its derivatives, as used in this permit, means the permittee or any future transferee. The term "this office" refers to the appropriate district or division office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) having jurisdiction over the permitted activity or the appropriate official of that office acting under the authority of the commanding officer. You are authorized to perform work in accordance with the terms and conditions specified below. Project Description: The proposed project consists of the decommissioning of the RUTHE-070 Main Dam during the coal ash basin removal process. Enacted on August 20, 2014, the promulgation of the North Carolina Coal Ash Management Act (CAMA)-14 requires Duke Energy to phase out wet ash handling. In order to address the North Carolina regulatory requirements, the applicant has proposed to remove the coal combustion residual (CCR) materials from the Unit 5 Inactive Ash Basin (U5IAB) and remove the Main Dam. Once the CCR materials and the Main Dam have been removed, the proposed project would establish a pathway to route clean stormwater to the Broad River. Within the former ash basin, the applicant has proposed the construction of five stormwater channels and the reconnection of two existing stream features (Streams 7 and 8) through a single outlet channel to discharge clean stormwater into the Broad River. The outlet channel would consist of an engineered stormwater channel comprised of riprap, with a gabion outlet into the Broad River. The outlet channel would permanently impact 0.29-acre of wetland and 42 linear feet of the bank of the Broad River. The work described above is to be completed in accordance with the attachments affixed at the end of this permit instrument. Project Location: The proposed project is located within the Duke Energy Rogers Energy Complex-Cliffside Stream Station at a physical address of 573 Duke Power Road in Mooresboro, North Carolina. This facility is located approximately one and ENG FORM 1721, Nov 86 (33 CFR 325 (Appendix A)) one-half miles to the south of the unincorporated community of Cliffside, in Rutherford and Cleveland Counties, along the south side of the Broad River.
