APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Catawba River Buffer
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B ,0243) with Additional Conditions

Dear Mr, Wilson:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill in
or to otherwise impact approximately 0,002 acre of waters and 0.002 acre of riparian buffer for the purpose of
stabilizing approximately 150 linear feet of shoreline on Lake Wylie, as described in your application received
on July 15, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water
Quality General Certification Number 3492, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Regional Permit No,
198200030 once it is issued to you by the U,S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). This letter also serves
as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 28
.0243. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your
project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and
Water Supply Watershed regulations,

The above noted Certification will expire when the associated USACOE's 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification, This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you
described in your application, If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be
required to send 'us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be
given a copy of the Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. If the total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one acre, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h),

In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:

1. No impacts shall occur in the buffer, including the removal of trees, except those trees along the immediate
shoreline.

2. Mulch or pine needles (6" deep) shall be used to help reestablish the buffer upon completion of the project.

3, Upon completion of the project, the applicant/responsible party shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to the Division of Water Quality's 401/Wetlands Unit.

If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing, You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter, To ask for a hearing, send a written petition (that

Comments: As per our discussion regarding revision of the triage and delegation processes,
please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be
reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold,
please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in
Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office, As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim
procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any
complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second
reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to
improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know.
Thanks!

BID-ENGINEERING AND SHORELINE STABIIZATION MITIGATION
TECHNIQUES
FOR LAKES MANAGED BY DUKE POWER, LAKE MANAGEMENT

I. Bio-cnginccring

A. Definition

Bio-engineering is an effective scientific method, using a combination of natural and living
materials, to stabilize eroded banks along the shoreline. Bio-engineering teclmiques vary
according to a number of factors, including but not limited to; slope, soil type and wave action.
Often a combination of techniques may be utilized to most effectively control erosion in areas
with varying conditions.

B. Benefits

In addition to controlling erosion, and the aesthetic value of a more natural shoreline, the use of
native plants create additional habitat for wildlife. A permit and written authorization for any
shoreline stabilization project is required from Duke Power, Lake Management. By utilizing bio-
engineering as the primary stabilization teclmique, the permit application fee for shoreline
stabilization is waived.

C. Native Plant Species

Note: Other plant species that are not lIsted may also be ac~eptabl~. Plant specIes that are not
native to Duke Power lakes should not be considered and WIll not hkely be approved.

D. Techniques

Bio-engineering techniques normally include minor grading to allow for the installation of a rip
rap toe, rock gabion, Bio-Iog@, crib wall or similar structure in high energy areas. The structures
are then enhanced by the addition ofnaturallliving material. For example:

1. live stakes - branches cut from living material and planted with stems and buds pointed
upward, Initially they offer little to no soil reinforcement but do so after the first growing season
once a root system becomes established. Often used with other techniques and conducted during
the dormant season,

2. live fascine - branches bundled and secured together and placed in a very shallow trench
along the toe of the eroded bank or in the bank face. They are usually installed in conjunction
with geotextile fabrics above a rip rap or gabion toe,

3, brush mattress - includes both live stakes and live fascines. Provides protection of the
shoreline upon installation and can be used in layers beginning just above a rip rap or gabion toe.

4. plant plugs - plantings with intact root stock. Placed directly into the bank face with the
soil compacted around the root stock.

E. Follow up activities

Riparian Zone Management Information: Duke Power will design and publish an informational
piece that will provide property owners with a range of information about bio-engineering
teclmiques, material sources, information sources and the value of riparian zones. This will be the
final project in the Riparian Zone Management Initiative and will serve as a compilation of the
on-going efforts through the year 2000.

II. Mitigation

A. General guidance

Mitigation proposals should provide realistic but substantial allowances for reducing and
relieving the impact of the proposed shoreline stabilization teclmique proposed. In general,
mitigation activities should enhance the wildlife habitat in the inunediate area of the stabilization
activity and may consist of, but are not limited to; enhancing fish cover under an approved pier or
similar structure, maintaining a natural vegetative buffer along the entire shoreline of the lot,
placing or maintaining secured cover and perching habitat (e.g. root wads, stumps, fallen trees,
etc.) along portions of the shoreline.

B. Review Timeframe

Applicants for proposed shoreline stabilization activities identified in the Shoreline Stabization
Technique Selection Criteria (Attachment 1) that require wildlife agency review and/or mitigation
must send their applications to the district game and fisheries biologist of the applicable NC/SC
agency for a minimum 30-day review and comment period. In the absence of any findings of
significant adverse impacts on fish and wildlife resources during this 30-day review period, the
applicant will be allowed to proceed without further notice to send their completed application to
Duke Power-Lake Management for approval. If there are findings of significant impact and those
impacts are not adequately mitigated, then the applicant will not be allowed to proceed with the
proposed stabilization activity. Applicants should make every effort to comply directly with
resource agency recommendations.

bioengineering stabilization.
Mitigation requirements
determined by state wildlife
agency. Seawalls not allowed.

General conditions:

-All seawalls must have rip-rap at base.
-Considering current lake level operating targets and variability and the desire to prevent unnecessary impacts, rip
rap must be confined to the area between 6' below full pond elevation and full pond elevation to the maximum
practicable extent. Potential exceptions include areas where entire placement is above the FERC project
boundary, where banks are already eroded above the full pond elevation or where severely eroded banks must be
sloped back or terraced to provide minimum bank stability.
-The bank height is the average height of the eroded shoreline( measured from the original lake bed to the top of the
eroded bank) in the area to be stabilized.
-Bioengineering techniques within an IMZ require applicant to provide photo evidence of successful vegetation
establishment at1 year point. Bioengineering is a stabilization approach that utilizes natural and living material.
Bioengineering techniques include use of rip rap with live stakes, rock filled gabions, live staked crib walls, biologs,
and numerous other activities.
-Applicant can use bioengineering, rip rap, seawalls or any combination of stabilization techniques where use of
hardening structures are allowed"
-Stabilization in an IMZ requires reasonable mitigation requirements as determined through consultation with state
wildlife agencies.
-Stabilization in areas classified as Natural due to the presence of significant cultural resources, should not have
artifacts impacted by utilizing any shoreline stabilization technique.
