Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy) requests a Section 10 authorization under the
Nationwide Permit program (NWP 12) to place- a temporary utility line in the French Broad
River. Enclosed is the completed Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form with
attachments. A similar request has been authorized and extended by the United States Corps of
Engineers in the past (Corps Action ID. 2007-04111 re-verification/extension, enclosed) but is
scheduled to expire March 18, 2017. Based on the specific details of this proposal, it is our
understanding that written concurrence from NC Division of Water Quality (NC DWQ) is not
required. Therefore this application is provided to NC DWQ "For the record only".
The requested temporary utility line would allow the Asheville Steam Electric Plant to withdraw
makeup water intermittently during extreme low flow conditions in the river to ensure continued
plant operations. The temporary intake pumps will only be operated when the water level in the
French Broad River falls below the level required for the permanent intake structure pumps to
withdraw the water.
The intake line will be extended no further than 20 feet away from the river bank and the pumps
will be placed on high ground near the existing intake structure. There will be no land
disturbance, or wetland, buffer, or stream impacts associated with placement of the intake line
and pumps.

Energy's obligation to ensure adequate electric generation to the community, we would
appreciate your review of this request as expeditiously as possible.
Further, as Duke Energy wishes to maintain this capability as an ongoing contingency for low
flow conditions, we request that authorization for this activity be granted for a period of five
years.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter or require additional information, please
contact Ms. Tina Woodward at [phone] or at [e-mail].

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
Existing steam electric plant makeup water intake structure with access roads.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 17.23
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 8,898
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The Asheville Steam Electric Plant cooling lake level must be maintained to ensure electric generation capability. During low flow conditions in the
river, the water level may be below the elevation needed for the existing intake pumps to operate and supply water to the plant's cooling lake. The
temporary utility line and pumps could provide the water needed to keep the plant operational. This project is part of the Asheville Steam Electric
Plant drought contingency plan.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
This project is for the installation of a temporary utility line (water intake pipe) in the French Broad River to extend the reach of the existing intake
pumps during low flow conditions predicted during the Drought periods. A 12-inch diameter, flexible line will be extended no more than 20 feet from
the bank into the river at the location of the existing pump intake structure (see Attached map). Two diesel driven pumps will be placed adjacent to the
existing river intake pumps on shore and operated only when the existing water intake is incapable of withdrawing water. At certain periods these two
temporary pumps may operate 24 hours a day with a withdrawal rate of 10,000 gpm. The end of the line will be secured by weights and will be
covered with a screen (mesh size approximately 1 cm) to reduce impacts to fish and deter debris from entering the line. There will be no impact to the
riparian buffer or to wetlands nor will there be any land disturbance. There will be no discharge into the French Broad River from this activity.

C. Basis for Determination:
The site contains wetlands as determined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers {Vetland Delineation Manual and the
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain and Piedmont
Region, Version 2.0. These wetlands are abutting to streams that exhibit indicators of ordinary high water marks, some
of the streams are blue line features on the USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle map, and all have perennial
flow. The stream channels on the site are unnamed tributaries (UTs) of the French Broad River., The UTs of the
French Broad River, relatively permanent waters (RPW), flow into the French Broad River, a traditional navigable
water (TNW) and Section 10 water, which merges with the Holston River to form the Tennessee River. The
Tennessee River flows into the Ohio River then to the Mississippi River before entering the Gulf of Mexico.
D. Remarks:
The waters of the U.S. (WoUS), at this site, were verified on-site by the Corps on September 18, 2015. The attached
Figure 6 (Revised Jurisdictional Waters Map, prepared March 4, 2016) provides the approximate location of WoUS at
the site and indicates the limits of the study area for this jurisdictional determination. WoUS for the site are as
depicted on the attached Asheville Wetland Maps (Sheets 0 through 20), surveyed by Chad T. Howard, PSL, and
dated March 14, 2016, of Taylor Wiseman and Taylor. All figures were submitted by AMEC Foster Wheeler.
NOTE: Lake Julian (an impoundment of WoUS) and the French Broad River were not part of the study area. It should
be noted these features adjoin the study area and are WoUS.
