Subdivision/Multi-Use
III. Multi-use Facility Permitting Process

1. Anyone seeking a multi-use facility construction permit must meet with Yadkin prior to submitting an application for a multi-use facility permit. This initial meeting should be held as early as possible in the planning process to avoid confusion and delay in preparing information required for the application.
2. Prior to the meeting, the applicant must complete a Pre-Application Meeting Worksheet that identifies the information that the applicant is expected to bring to the meeting including:
1. Maps or sketches showing the location of the proposed facilities with respect to the reservoir shoreline and existing property boundaries;
2. General information on the proposed facilities including:
1. the number, type and size of facilities involved, including as estimate of the number of watercraft the facilities can accommodate;
2. the anticipated need for access to Project lands or waters;
3. the anticipated need for use of or access across the Yadkin-Managed Buffer or other Yadkin-Managed Lands;
3. A proposed schedule for submitting the application and constructing the proposed facilities;
4. The name, address, and phone number of a Professional Engineer that the applicant proposes to certify the proposed multi-use facilities;
5. The name, address, and phone number of the environmental professional(s) that the applicant proposes to conduct the required EA.
3. At the pre-application meeting, Yadkin will review the information on the proposed multi-use facilities for consistency with the Stewardship Policy and other applicable requirements, review the requirements for completing the multi-use facility permitting process including the EA, provide notice of its insurance requirements and provide a list of reviewing agencies.

1. An applicant seeking a multi-use facility construction permit must prepare a multi-use facility construction permit application and receive a construction permit from Yadkin prior to beginning construction of new facilities or modification of existing multi-use facilities.
2. As part of the application, the applicant must prepare and submit an EA or an Agency Consultation Process package for the proposed facilities.
1. An EA must be prepared and filed with Yadkin for construction of any new multi-use facility, and may be required for modification of an existing multi-use facility, that is designed to accommodate more than 10 watercraft or that is located wholly or partly within the shoreline Conservation Zone, as delineated in Yadkin’s Shoreline Management Plan (SMP, Appendix D).
2. In the case of new subdivisions and commercial enterprises, Yadkin will aggregate all proposed multi-use facilities to determine the total number of watercraft that the proposed facilities can accommodate. If, considered in the aggregate, the facilities can accommodate more than 10 watercraft, then an EA will be required for that subdivision, regardless of the number of lots involved, or for the commercial enterprise, as the case may be.
3. Applicants for all other types of multi-use facilities are required to complete the Agency Consultation Process described in Section VI of this document.
4. The EA must be prepared by a qualified environmental professional or consulting firm.
5. A complete application for a multi-use facility construction permit must include:
1. An Application Checklist;
2. A map of the proposed development site showing all existing and proposed facilities. The map must also clearly indicate the location of the Yadkin Managed-Buffer or other Yadkin-Managed Lands located along the shoreline or adjoining the proposed facilities. (Such a map should be included in the EA);
3. Construction plans or detailed drawings of the proposed facilities, at a scale of 1:2,400 (1 inch = 200 feet) or larger;
4. Certification by an approved registered Professional Engineer that the proposed facilities and any changes to existing facilities are safe and structurally sound;
5. A complete Environmental Assessment (EA) or completed Agency Consultation Process package;
6. Copies of all necessary county, State and federal permits required for the proposed facility;
7. A non-refundable construction permit application fee in accordance with the Yadkin’s current multi-use facility application fee schedule.
6. Yadkin will review the application for completeness. If Yadkin finds the application to be incomplete, it may request additional information from the applicant.
7. Upon finding that an application is complete, Yadkin will determine the applicable FERC notice or approval requirements. For all new multi-use facilities that require prior FERC notice or approval, Yadkin will provide notice to or file a request with FERC for approval of the proposed facility. The decision on whether proposed new facilities or modification of existing permitted facilities require prior FERC notice or approval will be made solely by Yadkin on a case-by-case basis. If prior FERC approval is required, the applicant should anticipate at least a 90-day review period by FERC.
