P.O. Drawer 428 Greenwood, South Carolina 29648 RE: Duke Energy: Hagers Creek Lake Access Site Iredell County,North Carolina Dear Mr. Robertson: Lowrys Environmental & Ecological Services, LLC (LEES) has completed a jurisdictional wetland and stream evaluation/delineation of the property known as the Hagers Creek Lake Access Site (a portion of Parcel 4616956401.000) that is located adjacent to McKendree Road, near the City of Mooresville, Iredell County, North Carolina. LEES reviewed the site for the presence of jurisdictional wetlands and streams during the winter of 2019 (February). During this evaluation,no jurisdictional wetlands or streams were located within the property. One small feature that consisted of two parts: (1)an old stormwater basin and(2)a non jurisdictional swale that exits at the discharge point of the basin and drains toward Lake Norman, were investigated to determine if they met the federal and state criteria for either jurisdictional wetlands or streams (attached map). Neither of the feature parts met the conditions as outlined in guidelines published by either the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) or the US Army Corps of Engineers(USACE) for jurisdictional wetlands and streams. Even though the stormwater feature (both the basin and swale) does not meet the conditions to be considered jurisdictional,LEES would recommend that the feature be left in place to continue to treat the stormwater that exits the existing parking area. If the stormwater feature were to be removed, the untreated stormwater from the parking lot would discharge directly to the slope down to the lake and could possibly form a jurisdictional stream channel in the future. Additionally, untreated stormwater would be discharging directly to Lake Norman from the parking lot. If left in place,the stormwater is at least retained briefly and allowed to discharge at a much slower rate than if the stormwater were to be allowed to discharge straight to the lake.

We have reviewed the information presented and the following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act(42 U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq.); the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended(16 U.S.C. 661-667e);the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as amended(16 U.S.C. 703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). The facility is in compliance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's approved Recreation Management Plan for the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project. The proposed upgrades consist of increasing parking areas, improving/upgrading recreational user areas,and construction of a fishing pier. The proposed upgrades will result in impacts to waters of the U.S. and an US Army Corps of Engineers permit will be required. Endangered Species. Based on the information you provided, our knowledge of the site, and a review of our records,we believe the proposed activity will not have any adverse effect on listed species. Therefore,we believe the requirements under section 7(c)of the Act have been fulfilled. However,obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if: (1)new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect endangered or threatened species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2)this action is subsequently modified in a manner not considered in this review, or(3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the action. 2 Storm-Water Control. Increased storm-water runoff directly damages aquatic and riparian habitat, causing stream-bank and stream-channel scouring. In addition, impervious surfaces reduce groundwater recharge,resulting in even lower than expected stream flows during drought periods, which can induce potentially catastrophic effects for fish,mussels, and other aquatic life. Accordingly,we recommend that all new developments,regardless of the percentage of impervious surface area they will create, implement storm-water-retention and-treatment measures designed to replicate and maintain the hydrograph at the preconstruction condition in order to avoid any additional impacts to habitat quality within the watershed. We recommend the use of low-impact-development techniques,' such as reduced road widths, grassed swales in place of curb and gutter,rain gardens, and wetland retention areas,for retaining and treating storm-water runoff rather than the more traditional measures, such as large retention ponds, etc. These designs often cost less to install and significantly reduce environmental impacts from residential development. Where detention ponds are used, storm-water outlets should drain through a vegetated area prior to reaching any natural stream or wetland area. Detention structures should be designed to allow for the slow discharge of storm water,attenuating the potential adverse effects of storm-water surges;thermal spikes; and sediment,nutrient,and chemical discharges. We also recommend that consideration be given to the use of pervious materials (i.e.,pervious concrete, interlocking/open paving blocks, etc.)for the construction of roads, driveways, sidewalks, etc. Pervious surfaces minimize changes to the hydrology of the watershed and can be used to facilitate groundwater recharge. Pervious materials are also less likely to absorb and store heat and allow the cooler soil below to cool the pavement. Additionally,pervious concrete requires less maintenance and is less susceptible to freeze/thaw cracking due to large voids within the concrete. Pollinators. To offset the overall impacts of development and/or to increase the habitat and species diversity within the project area,we further recommend the following measures be implemented into project design: 1. Sow native seed mixes with plant species that are beneficial to pollinators wherever feasible on the site. Taller-growing pollinator plant species should be planted around the periphery of the site and anywhere on the site where mowing can be restricted during the summer months. Taller plants,not mowed during the summer,would provide benefits to pollinators,habitat to ground-nesting/feeding birds,and cover for small mammals. Low-growing/groundcover native species should be planted in areas that need to be maintained. This would provide benefits to pollinators while also minimizing the amount of maintenance, such as mowing and herbicide treatment. Using a seed mix that includes milkweed species(milkweed is an important host plant for monarch butterflies)is especially beneficial. The following Web site provides a comprehensive list of native plant species that benefit pollinators: http://www.xerces.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/MidAtlanticPlantList web.pdf Additional information regarding plant species, seed mixes, and pollinator habitat requirements can be provided upon request. We also offer our assistance with developing 1We recommend visiting the Environmental Protection Agency's Web site(http://www.epa.gov/polluted-runo(f- nonpoint-source pollution/urban-runo-low-impact-development)for additional information and fact sheets regarding the implementation of low-impact-development techniques. 3 seed mixes that can be used in conjunction with fast growing erosion control seed mix for overall soil stability and pollinator benefits. 2. Provide nesting sites for pollinator species. Different pollinators have different needs for nesting sites. Therefore,we recommend designing the area around the parking/access area to maintain a diverse array of habitats to accommodate varied pollinators,from hummingbirds to butterflies to bees. Hummingbirds typically nest in trees or shrubs while many butterflies lay eggs on specific host plants. Most bees nest in the ground and in wood or dry plant stems. For additional information and actions that can be taken to benefit pollinators please visit the following Web site: http://www.fws.gov/poll inators/poll inatorpages/yourhelp.html. Fish and Wildlife Resources—We are pleased to hear that Duke Energy will be installing enhanced fish attractor rock piles around the fishing pier piles. If applicable,we recommend the following measures be implemented into project plans to help minimize project impacts: 1. Shoreline vegetation should be left unaltered as much as possible,and riparian buffers should be reestablished along the associated park area wherever possible. 2. Stringent erosion-control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and should be maintained until Project completion. Any excavated material should not be stockpiled where sediment will erode to surface waters. 3. Construction and placement of the proposed dock should not adversely affect navigation by the general public. 4. All activities should follow Duke's Shoreline Management Guidelines. We have no objections to the proposed actions and we appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments. If we can be of assistance or if you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact Mr.Bryan Tompkins of our staff at 828/258-3939,Ext. 42240.

P.O. Drawer 428 Greenwood, South Carolina 29648 RE: Duke Energy: Hagers Creek Lake Access Site Iredell County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Robertson: Lowrys Environmental & Ecological Services, LLC (LEES) has completed a jurisdictional wetland and stream evaluation/delineation of the property known as the Hagers Creek Lake Access Site (a portion of Parcel 4616956401.000) that is located adjacent to McKendree Road, near the City of Mooresville, Iredell County, North Carolina. LEES reviewed the site for the presence of jurisdictional wetlands and streams during the winter of 2019 (February). During this evaluation,no jurisdictional wetlands or streams were located within the property. One small feature that consisted of two parts: (1)an old stormwater basin and(2)a non jurisdictional swale that exits at the discharge point of the basin and drains toward Lake Norman, were investigated to determine if they met the federal and state criteria for either jurisdictional wetlands or streams (attached map). Neither of the feature parts met the conditions as outlined in guidelines published by either the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) or the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for jurisdictional wetlands and streams. Even though the stormwater feature (both the basin and swale) does not meet the conditions to be considered jurisdictional,LEES would recommend that the feature be left in place to continue to treat the stormwater that exits the existing parking area. If the stormwater feature were to be removed, the untreated stormwater from the parking lot would discharge directly to the slope down to the lake and could possibly form a jurisdictional stream channel in the future. Additionally, untreated stormwater would be discharging directly to Lake Norman from the parking lot. If left in place,the stormwater is at least retained briefly and allowed to discharge at a much slower rate than if the stormwater were to be allowed to discharge straight to the lake.

P.O. Drawer 428 Greenwood, South Carolina 29648 RE: Duke Energy: Hagers Creek Lake Access Site Iredell County,North Carolina Dear Mr. Robertson: Lowrys Environmental & Ecological Services, LLC (LEES) has completed a jurisdictional wetland and stream evaluation/delineation of the property known as the Hagers Creek Lake Access Site (a portion of Parcel 4616956401.000) that is located adjacent to McKendree Road, near the City of Mooresville, Iredell County, North Carolina. LEES reviewed the site for the presence of jurisdictional wetlands and streams during the winter of 2019 (February). During this evaluation,no jurisdictional wetlands or streams were located within the property. One small feature that consisted of two parts: (1)an old stormwater basin and(2)a non jurisdictional swale that exits at the discharge point of the basin and drains toward Lake Norman, were investigated to determine if they met the federal and state criteria for either jurisdictional wetlands or streams (attached map). Neither of the feature parts met the conditions as outlined in guidelines published by either the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) or the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for jurisdictional wetlands and streams. Even though the stormwater feature (both the basin and swale) does not meet the conditions to be considered jurisdictional,LEES would recommend that the feature be left in place to continue to treat the stormwater that exits the existing parking area. If the stormwater feature were to be removed, the untreated stormwater from the parking lot would discharge directly to the slope down to the lake and could possibly form a jurisdictional stream channel in the future. Additionally, untreated stormwater would be discharging directly to Lake Norman from the parking lot. If left in place,the stormwater is at least retained briefly and allowed to discharge at a much slower rate than if the stormwater were to be allowed to discharge straight to the lake. LOWRYS ENVIRONMENTAL& ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, LLC Please contact me should you have any questions. Thank you for selecting LEES to assist with your environmental consulting needs.

Asheville Field Office 160 Zillicoa Street Suite#B Asheville,North Carolina 28801 July 11, 2019 Mr. Wilson Hunter Davis&Floyd 1319 Highway 72/221 East Greenwood, South Carolina 29649 Subject: Proposed Hagers Creek Access Area and Fishing Pier,on Lake Norman within the Catawba- Wateree Hydroelectric Project(FERC No.2232), located at 788 McKendree Road, in Mooresville, Iredell County,North Carolina Dear Mr.Hunter: On June 13,2019,we received(via e-mail)your letter requesting our review of the proposed construction of additional parking and fishing pier at the Hagers Creek Access Area on Lake Norman. We have reviewed the information presented and the following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act(42 U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq.); the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended(16 U.S.C. 661-667e);the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as amended(16 U.S.C. 703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). The facility is in compliance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's approved Recreation Management Plan for the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project. The proposed upgrades consist of increasing parking areas, improving/upgrading recreational user areas, and construction of a fishing pier. The proposed upgrades will result in impacts to waters of the U.S. and an US Army Corps of Engineers permit will be required. Endangered Species. Based on the information you provided, our knowledge of the site, and a review of our records,we believe the proposed activity will not have any adverse effect on listed species. Therefore,we believe the requirements under section 7(c)of the Act have been fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if: (1)new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect endangered or threatened species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2)this action is subsequently modified in a manner not considered in this review, or(3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the action. 2 Storm-Water Control. Increased storm-water runoff directly damages aquatic and riparian habitat, causing stream-bank and stream-channel scouring. In addition, impervious surfaces reduce groundwater recharge, resulting in even lower than expected stream flows during drought periods, which can induce potentially catastrophic effects for fish,mussels, and other aquatic life. Accordingly,we recommend that all new developments,regardless of the percentage of impervious surface area they will create, implement storm-water-retention and-treatment measures designed to replicate and maintain the hydrograph at the preconstruction condition in order to avoid any additional impacts to habitat quality within the watershed. We recommend the use of low-impact-development techniques,1 such as reduced road widths, grassed swales in place of curb and gutter,rain gardens, and wetland retention areas,for retaining and treating storm-water runoff rather than the more traditional measures, such as large retention ponds, etc. These designs often cost less to install and significantly reduce environmental impacts from residential development. Where detention ponds are used, storm-water outlets should drain through a vegetated area prior to reaching any natural stream or wetland area. Detention structures should be designed to allow for the slow discharge of storm water,attenuating the potential adverse effects of storm-water surges;thermal spikes; and sediment,nutrient, and chemical discharges. We also recommend that consideration be given to the use of pervious materials (i.e.,pervious concrete, interlocking/open paving blocks, etc.) for the construction of roads, driveways, sidewalks,etc. Pervious surfaces minimize changes to the hydrology of the watershed and can be used to facilitate groundwater recharge. Pervious materials are also less likely to absorb and store heat and allow the cooler soil below to cool the pavement. Additionally,pervious concrete requires less maintenance and is less susceptible to freeze/thaw cracking due to large voids within the concrete. Pollinators. To offset the overall impacts of development and/or to increase the habitat and species diversity within the project area,we further recommend the following measures be implemented into project design: 1. Sow native seed mixes with plant species that are beneficial to pollinators wherever feasible on the site. Taller-growing pollinator plant species should be planted around the periphery of the site and anywhere on the site where mowing can be restricted during the summer months. Taller plants,not mowed during the summer,would provide benefits to pollinators,habitat to ground-nesting/feeding birds, and cover for small mammals. Low-growing/groundcover native species should be planted in areas that need to be maintained. This would provide benefits to pollinators while also minimizing the amount of maintenance, such as mowing and herbicide treatment. Using a seed mix that includes milkweed species(milkweed is an important host plant for monarch butterflies) is especially beneficial. The following Web site provides a comprehensive list of native plant species that benefit pollinators: http://www.xerces.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/MidAtlanticPlantList web.pdf Additional information regarding plant species, seed mixes, and pollinator habitat requirements can be provided upon request. We also offer our assistance with developing 1We recommend visiting the Environmental Protection Agency's Web site(http://www.epa.gov/polluted-runoff nonpoint-source pollution/urban-runoff-low-impact-development)for additional information and fact sheets regarding the implementation of low-impact-development techniques. 3 seed mixes that can be used in conjunction with fast growing erosion control seed mix for overall soil stability and pollinator benefits. 2. Provide nesting sites for pollinator species. Different pollinators have different needs for nesting sites. Therefore,we recommend designing the area around the parking/access area to maintain a diverse array of habitats to accommodate varied pollinators,from hummingbirds to butterflies to bees. Hummingbirds typically nest in trees or shrubs while many butterflies lay eggs on specific host plants. Most bees nest in the ground and in wood or dry plant stems. For additional information and actions that can be taken to benefit pollinators please visit the following Web site: htV//www.fws.gov/pollinators/pollinatorpages/yourhelp.html. Fish and Wildlife Resources—We are pleased to hear that Duke Energy will be installing enhanced fish attractor rock piles around the fishing pier piles. If applicable,we recommend the following measures be implemented into project plans to help minimize project impacts: 1. Shoreline vegetation should be left unaltered as much as possible,and riparian buffers should be reestablished along the associated park area wherever possible. 2. Stringent erosion-control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and should be maintained until Project completion. Any excavated material should not be stockpiled where sediment will erode to surface waters. 3. Construction and placement of the proposed dock should not adversely affect navigation by the general public. 4. All activities should follow Duke's Shoreline Management Guidelines. We have no objections to the proposed actions and we appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments. If we can be of assistance or if you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact Mr.Bryan Tompkins of our staff at 828/258-3939,Ext. 42240. In any future correspondence concerning this project,please reference our Log Number 4-2-19-288. Sincerely, --original signed-- Janet Mizzi Field Supervisor
