Fullwood, Executive Director December 20, 1994 Mr. Steve Chapin, Permit Coordinator U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Branch Room 75, Grove Arcade Building Asheville, North Carolina 28801 SUBJECT: Application for General Permit 30 to install a boat ramp at the Lovelady Boating Access Area on Lake Hickory, Caldwell County Dear Mr. Chapin: The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is requesting a 404 permit from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for the above referenced project. By copy of this letter we are applying to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Water Quality Section, for 401 certification. The Lovelady Boating Access Area on Lake Hickory is jointly maintained by Duke Power Company (DPC) and the NCWRC. We plan to install a 16' wide x 6" deep x 135' long concrete launch ramp. Only 100' of the length will be below ordinary high water. The lower portion of the ramp will be poured into a form on high ground and allowed to cure before being pushed into the lake. The remainder of the ramp will be poured in place while the lake is drawn down. The portion of the ramp below ordinary high water will be 1600 square feet in area or 30 cubic yards in volume. This letter also serves to meet the concurrence requirements necessary in certain trout counties. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). The site consists of an open water portion of the reservoir, which is controlled by DPC. Under normal operations, the annual water level fluctuation of Lake Hickory is 4 feet in elevation. Based on our information on the range of trout in the project area, we do not believe this project will impact waters supporting trout. No wetlands or habitats likely to support any endangered, threatened, or special concern species will be impacted. As project a Lovelady Boat Ramp Page 2 December 20, 1994 ap nt,ge j11 take all necessary precautions to ensure that no negative environmental impacts wil occur. If there are any questions regarding this project, please contact me at 704-652-4360. Sincerely, 6A'4?? "'Z?
