Based on our review of your submitted application, the DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we wilt have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project. Additional Information Requested: 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (f) requires that "a lack of practical alternatives" be demonstrated. No discussion with respect to natural stabilization or lower impact stabilization have been discussed. 401 Wetlands Certification Unit 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919-733-17861 FAX 919-733-6893 !

In accordance with meetings with Duke Power Representatives during the spring of 2004, photographs should accompany each application detailing the eroded areas, site conditions, and provide a scale from which the Division of Water Quality can determine the extent of the eroded cut bank should accompany the submitted application. The submitted documentation provides no scale nor provides a compelling justification for the requested impacts. 3. Application Item II, 8. b. asks for a description of the existing vegetation within 50 feet of the edge of water. You submitted application states that no trees will be removed as part of this project. This does not answer the question as to the existing conditions of vegetation within 50 feet of the shoreline as asked in the application. As Lake Glenville is classed Water Supply -III, B, Trout, HQW, there is a required 25 foot wooded trout buffer (15A NCAC 04B .0125) overlaid with a 30 foot vegetated Water Supply Watershed buffer (12A NCAC 02B .0215). You must provide a clear and concise response to the above listed deficiencies. Please respond before the close of business on February 2, 2007 by sending 5 copies of this information to both the 401 Permitting Unit at: Mrs. Cyndi Karoly 401 Permitting Unit 1650 Maii Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 and a copy to the Asheville Regional Office at: Kevin Barnett Surtace Water Protection Section 2090 US HWY 70 Swannanoa, NC 28778 If we do not hear from you before February 2, 2007, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. Page 3of 3 January 16, 2007 This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Mr. Kevin Barnett at 828-296-4657 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter. Sincerely, Roger C.
