Rob and James -
The original permits were issued, then necessary utility relocation planning led to a proposed Duke Energy easement
outside of the permitted project limits on the east side of the road. This information was presented in the permit
modification request and PCN dated 04/02/19. This involved an increase in buffer and wetland impacts and additional
mitigation for wetland impacts. Planning for this extra easement since has been dropped and Duke Energy would now
like to relocate their line within the R/W limits on the west side of the roadway (see attached for updated UO-2 sheet).
Notice on the north side of the stream new power pole locations are outside of jurisdictional areas. On the south side of
the stream, two power poles will be outside of the buffers but within the toe protection area which is already permitted
as fill in wetlands. The guys and anchors of these two poles would extend within the permitted mechanized clearing in
wetland area. The overhead lines and proposed maintained utility corridor is completely within the previously permitted
buffer footprint. Since this area is already fully permitted and wetland impacts have been mitigated, this utility line
relocation proposal would not require another permit modification. We are providing this information solely for your
records.
