Description of Request: Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC requests approval for a temporary variance from normal reservoir elevations to perform maintenance work at the Tennessee Creek, Bear Creek, and Cedar Cliff developments of the project. Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC had proposed on October 27, 2017 to begin drawdowns and refills between February and August 2018. However, based on additional consultation with local stakeholders, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC decided to defer these drawdowns until after the primary recreation season. Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC proposes to begin the drawdowns starting at Bear Creek Lake, then Cedar Cliff Lake, and then Tanasee Creek and Wolf Creek Lakes, respectively. Drawdowns and refills would now begin from September 3, 2018, and continue through December 2018, therefore this is a revised public notice for the temporary variance. Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC will need to close some of its recreation areas during the drawdown to include Bear Creek Access Area, Cedar Cliff Access Area, and Wolf Creek Access Area due to the lower water levels which render the boat ramps unusable. l.
