Description and Summary of Wetland Impacts
DESCRIPTION:
Area: Sediment Basin 41
Total area of Impact: 0.45 acres
Description of area: Stream bottomland. Average stream flow of 0.06 c,fs
discharges directly to Killian Creek. Flat alluvial area approx 400
feet long where stream meanders and sloughs exist is a wetland and was
delineated by the Corps of Engineers. Primary vegetation is alder with
scattered maples and gums, herbaceous stratum includes needlerush,
spotted touch, me nots. various others. When tributary area is
stabilized, sediment will be removed one last time and the riser &
barrel discharge will be reworked into a permanent control structure
that will keep water depth behind the dam at approximately 3 feet. Ir_
is expected that the resultant ponded area will create a marshland
environment in excess of 0.5 acres which will span the project
transmission line tie-in corridor.
Area: Raw Water Storage Pond
Total area of-Impact: 0.09 acres
Description of area: Well defined stream channel varying from 2.5 to 1,
feet in width with an average flow of 0.07 cfs discharging to an unnam-1
tributary to Anderson Creek. Impact is along the total length of the
channel which will be either permanently filled or inundated. Length )t
2.5 ft wide channel: 400 feet. Length of 1.5 ft. wide channel: 1950
feet.
Area: Sediment Basin 0A (Below Raw Water Storage Pond Dam)
Total area of Impact: 0.03 acres
Description of area: Well defined stream channel 2.5 feet in width wit_(i
an average flow of 0.07 cfs discharging to an unnamed tributary to
Anderson Creek. Impact is along length of channel which will be
temporarily filled and periodically inundated. Length of channel: 525
feet. Sediment basin will be removed and area revegetated when
tributary area is stabilized.
Area: Sediment Basin 'tB
Total area of Impact: 0.015 acres

Description of area: Well defined stream channel 1.5 feet in width with
an average flow of 0.04 cfs discharging to wetlands adjacent to Killian
Creek. Impact is along length of channel to be temporarily filled and
periodically inundated. Length of channel: 425 feet. Sediment basin
will be removed and revegetated when tributary area is stabilized.
Area: Transmission Line Strain Tower Base
Total area of impact: < 0.01 acres
Description of area: A 15 ft by 15 ft area will be cleared for the
installation of a piling foundation to support the strain tower. The
area is adjacent to a large wetland area, but is hydrologically separate
being a spring head located at a higher elevation. Flow is negligible
as there is no surface outflow from the area, only permanently standing
water. Thus, this impact will be upon waters isolated from waters of
the United States.
SUMMARY:
Permanent Impacts: 0.54 acres
Temporary Impacts: 0.06 acres
TOTAL IMPACTS OF ALL TYPES: 0.60 acres

Action ID. 199102869 and Nationwide Permit No. 26
(Headwaters and Isolated Waters)
Mr. Timothy L. Huffman
GS Environmental Division
Duke Power Company
Post Office Box 1007
Charlotte, North Carolina 28201-1007
Dear Mr. Huffman:
Thank you for your letter of June 3, 1992, regarding your plans to
construct a raw water storage pond, three temporary sediment retention
basins, and a transmission line tower base at the proposed Lincoln Combustion
Turbine Station off S.R. 1511 (Old Plank Road) west of Lowesville, Lincoln
County, North Carolina. The raw water storage pond and one sediment basin
would be located on an unnamed, headwaters tributary to Anderson Creek while
the remaining two sediment basins and the 15-foot square tower base would be
located on two unnamed, headwaters tributaries to Killian Creek. The total
impact area to waters and wetlands would be .6 acres.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval. You should contact Mr. John Dorney, NC
Division of Environmental Management, at telephone [phone] regarding
State Water Quality Certification for your project.
.4001,
-2-
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steven Lund, Asheville Field

FROM: Stephanie E. Goudreau, Mt. Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Programs?'?`
DATE: February 11, 1993
SUBJECT: Application for 401 Certification by Duke Power Company
for construction of an intake and outfall in Killian
Creek, Lincoln County
This correspondence responds to a request by you for our
comments regarding the application for 401 Certification by the
Duke Power Company for construction of an intake and outfall in
Killian Creek to serve the Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station.
The intake will be built adjacent to Killian Creek and the
outfall will be located approximately 100 feet downstream of the
intake structure.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
the following recommendations:
1) The N.C. Division of Water Resources should be consulted if
they have not been already to determine how much water can
be removed from Killian Creek without adversely impacting
aquatic habitat in the stream. Contact is Mr. Steve Reed at
919/733-4064.
2) Construction must be accomplished so that wet concrete does
not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of
altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish
kill.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. If you have any questions regarding these comments,
please contact me at 704/652-4257.

Water Quality Certification Concurrence
Dear Mr. Dorney:
In order to provide water for plant operations and to control
sedimentation from land disturbing activities, Duke Power Company
intends to construct several retention structures on our 700+ acre power
plant site in the Lincoln County township of Lowesville, NC. In
addition to these structures, we intend to construct a pile-type
foundation for a large transmission line tower. All these activities
will require either the placement of fill into streambeds or wetlands or
the inundation of these same streambeds or wetlands. Said fill or
inundation of jurisdictional waters will not exceed 0.6 acres in total
and in no cases do flows of the subject streams exceed 0.7 cfB under
normal conditions. For further information please see the attached
summary and plans.
After several site consultations with Corps of Engineers Asheville Field
office representative, Mr. Steve Lund, as well as representatives of the
US Fish and Wildlife Service, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, yourself
and other NCDEM representatives, we elected to revise a previous project
configuration which would have necessitated the destruction of 2 acres
of forested wetland for the construction of a sedimentation basin. This
configuration revision was accomplished only after considerable
expenditure of engineering effort and will necessitate significant
increased material costs for construction, but it was done based on our
understanding that the best mitigation of our impacts on the existing
wetlands would be accomplished by avoidance and protection of those
wetlands. We believe that the resulting project configuration will
preserve these sensitive environments to the greatest extent possible
while allowing the regional economic growth this plant is intended to
support.
Because all our impacts occur either above the headwaters or within
isolated waters of the drainage basin where the project is located, and
because the total area to be impacted is less than 1 acre, we believe
that our activities fall well within the provisions of Nationwide Permit
No. 26 as described in 33 CFR 330.6 revised 11/22/91, and that they meet
all the conditions of compliance therein. Accordingly, we have applied
to the Corps of Engineers for certification of this activity under the
Nationwide Permit Program. We have further reviewed the conditions
placed by your office on General 401 Certification of this activity and
we believe that this project as planned is in full compliance with them
and will have no trouble remaining within compliance through all phases
of construction. Please consider this letter and attachments as formal
notification of our intent to perform these activities and a request
that you supply written concurrence of our compliance. You will find
attached seven copies of the form recommended for Nationwide Permit
Concurrence by your office as well as a summary, maps and plans of the
relevant areas of the project.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at [phone].
